long night fire

"Could there be some people like this who make a living out of this?"

Bai Chen immediately said:

"Have.

"Many relic hunters themselves are illiterate. It is not so convenient to accept tasks in the Hunter's Guild. It is a waste of time to just listen and ask. If such people have spare money and have a certain amount of free time, they often get together by a dozen or twenty , Ask a teacher to teach common words.

"In Wild Grass City, this is called a 'temporary teacher'."

Jiang Baimian let out a "hmm":

"Then let's visit these 'temporary teachers' separately to see if they have received threats recently and where they came from."

Chapter 42 Acquaintances

After leaving the room and going down to the ground floor, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian ran into Aunt Nan from "A Fu Gun Shop".

"You guys are quite calm." The graceful lady glanced casually and greeted with a smile.

"Aren't you too?" Jiang Baimian responded with a smile, "What do other people's affairs have to do with us? I'm afraid they will break the sky of Weed City."

They had already confessed to each other before, and everyone ended the topic in a tacit understanding. One side planned to go upstairs, and the other side prepared to go out.

At this moment, Jiang Baimian's heart moved, and he asked:

"Aunt Nan, do you know any 'temporary teachers' nearby?"

Aunt Nan looked suspiciously at the two people opposite her:

"You want to hire a 'temporary teacher'?"

Judging from his looks and clothes, he doesn't look like an illiterate.

"We mainly want to learn more about this industry, and see if we can take on tasks in this area. Relic hunters, if there is a task that can be accepted, we definitely don't want to miss it." Jiang Baimian instinctively made up a reason.

Shang Jian Yao immediately dismantled the stage:

"You explain too much."

Jiang Baimian gave him a sideways look, but he wasn't too upset, because Aunt Nan obviously didn't believe her words.

How can a relic hunter who can easily kidnap Eugene without leaving any clues need to take on the task of "temporary teacher"?It's not like being a tutor to the children of noble gentlemen.

If the words just said out, who knows the inside story, who will believe it?

Aunt Nan wisely didn't ask what it was for, and said with a smile:

"We have one in this building."

"Where does he live?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Aunt Nan lifted up the drooping hair from her temples:

"She, a lady."

Aunt Nan used the word "she" in Honghe dialect, otherwise she couldn't tell the difference.

Aunt Nan went on to say:

"She doesn't live here, and she comes here at two o'clock every afternoon for a class of one and a half hours.

"Hehe, more than a dozen girls in this yard joined together to invite them.

"The few you met last night all participated. They got some dividends in the 'Afu Gun Shop', and they are relatively well-off. If you want to see it later, I will let them lead the way."

Jiang Baimian knew that the "girl" in Aunt Nan's mouth refers to women who are full-time or part-time in the flesh and blood business.

"Okay, let's go out for lunch first, and it's almost two o'clock to find in our room." Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao's hand touching his stomach, and said gratefully, "Thank you."

She seemed to have completely forgotten that she avenged Aunt Nan and the others last night, as if it was something that was not worth mentioning for a long time in the past.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, someone knocked on the door of Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian's room.

And they had already sensed that someone was coming, and they were waiting at the door.

"I just wanted to go out and have a look." Jiang Baimian explained to the lady outside with a smile.

This lady was one of the people who killed Eugene last night. She had big eyes and short hair just past her ears. She looked intellectual and young, making it difficult to judge her age accurately.

"There are still 10 minutes." The lady said after greeting, "Gu Changle, you guys met last night."

"I won't introduce myself, otherwise it's meaningless to give a fake name. You can call me Dabai." Jiang Baimian mocked himself, "He, he has no name, just use 'hello'."

She is revenge for Shang's sabotage before Jian Yao.

Gu Changle didn't answer the words, turned around and said:

"On the top floor, where the sun is better."

There is no electricity from 1:5pm to [-]:[-]pm.

Taking a look at the flowered scarf around Gu Changle's neck that seemed much more colorful than last night, Jiang Baimian took two quick steps and walked side by side with him.

Her "professional habits" broke out, and she asked curiously:

"Sister Gu, why are you thinking of raising money to hire a 'temporary teacher'?"

Gu Changle's expression gradually softened, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly:

"I accidentally had a child before, and I couldn't bear to kill her, so I gave birth to it like this.

"I don't want her to be like me in the future. She always feels that being able to read and write should be better, and she can have more opportunities."

Jiang Baimian echoed:

"Indeed, the situation in Wild Grass City is relatively stable, and literacy is an advantage.

"The child has already gone to the classroom?"

She didn't know what the place where the "temporary teacher" taught was called, so she could only use the most common nouns to define it.

"She's only two years old, how to get there?" Gu Changle smiled, "I put her with Aunt Nan."

Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully while climbing the stairs:

"You want to teach her after you learn it yourself?"

"That's right. I'm still young, I'm still relatively popular, I have room for choice, and my income is still stable. Coupled with the dividends from the gun store, I can support the cost of hiring a 'temporary teacher'. In a few years, wait until An An grows up and can teach by herself, who knows what will happen, and whether she is still in the current state. I just think about it, I will learn more first, and then I can teach her by myself even if it is bad." Gu Changle said I thought about it myself.

"That's right, people who don't have long-term concerns must have short-term worries." Jiang Baimian praised.

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao also clapped his hands.

While chatting like this, they came to the fifth floor and entered a relatively spacious room next to the alley.

The light from outside shines through the four glass windows, clearly illuminating the beds, tables, benches, papers and simple blackboards inside.

At this time, seven or eight women were already sitting on stools and the edge of the bed, looking down at the paper in their hands, quietly reviewing the characters they had learned before.

Jiang Baimian looked around, and pulled Shang Jianyao to sit next to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Wrapped in a shriveled white padded jacket, the girl focused on the notes from the previous class.

In this cold room, she shivered slightly.

When the other party came to an end and raised his head, Jiang Baimian showed a harmless smile:

"How long have you been teaching here?"

The girl looked pretty, but a little haggard.

She politely replied:

"It's been almost two months."

"How is the teacher?" Jiang Baimian asked speculatively.

This is probably the biggest concern of first-time students.

"Very good, very patient, and know a lot." The girl did not hold back her praise.

At this time, Shang Jianyao interjected:

"Why do you want to raise money to hire a 'temporary teacher'?"

The girl realized something was wrong, looked at him, and said in surprise:

"How could there be a man?"

This matter was done jointly by the women in the flesh and blood business in the yard, and no man usually appeared.

"Shouldn't men be allowed to do the skin business?" Shang Jianyao was confident.

"My friend." Gu Changle hurriedly introduced.

The girl's eyes swept across the faces of Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian, becoming more and more puzzled.

She didn't ask much, sighed, and answered the question just now:

"My older sister works as a prostitute in a nightclub. Whether or not she picks up guests, and what kind of guests she picks up, is up to her, just like a slave.

"She got heart disease half a year ago and was kicked out. She found someone to treat her for a while, but she didn't get cured. She died not long after...

"She has always said that there is no hope in this line of work, and she will never get out of it. She may die of illness in a few years, so I don't want to follow her. But there is no way, you have to live first, right?

"I'm soliciting customers by myself. It's okay to be careful, but it's not a solution to keep going on like this. One day, I will be like my sister. When she dies..."

The girl stopped, lowered her head, turned to "smile" and said:

"I just thought, while I still have some money, learn to read and write, and learn more things, maybe I will have the opportunity to work as a clerk in the municipal building in the future, and I can also accept the task of relic hunters that don't take risks, so that I don't have to do this job anymore."

"Yes." Jiang Baimian agreed wholeheartedly.

The girl wanted to say something, but suddenly saw someone coming in at the door, so she stood up and said:

"Hello, Teacher An."

Jiang Baimian looked over and was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

The "temporary teacher" who came was someone she knew.

An Ruxiang, the relic hunter I met in "Black Swamp Wilderness" and Swamp No. 1 Ruin.

She was a member of Wu Shoushi's team, and she knew where Wu Shoushi's body was buried from the "Old Tune Group".

An Ruxiang's originally cold and indifferent expression also showed some fluctuations:

"you?"

"Are you surprised?" Shang Jian Yao stood up and asked enthusiastically.

An Ruxiang, who was no longer wearing army green camouflage, opened her mouth in black, not knowing how to answer.

She was both vigilant and confused.

Jiang Baimian hurriedly pointed to the door and said:

"Go out and talk."

An Ruxiang nodded silently, and walked out of the room under the doubtful eyes of the students.

At the end of this floor, Jiang Baimian was the first to say:

"We took an investigation mission and didn't expect to meet you."

An Ruxiang's expression darkened, and she immediately returned to normal:

"After leaving the ruins, we took Shoushi back to Wild Grass City and buried him in the place where he was born.

"Our trip was quite fruitful, and there were only two people left, so we just went about our own business.

"I wasn't in the mood. I didn't take any quests for a long time. Later, I recovered a bit and took on some quests in the city, including being a 'temporary teacher'."

"Then you just pretended to be like this?" Jiang Baimian asked curiously.

In her eyes, An Ruxiang is a woman who is very suitable for adventure and fighting.

An Ruxiang looked back at the temporary classroom, and said calmly:

"I just wanted to be a week and find something to do."

"So you fell in love with this profession?" Shang Jianyao also asked with great interest.

"I can't say whether I like it or not." An Ruxiang's tone was not fluctuating.

Perhaps because she met acquaintances who had helped each other, she talked a little more, and continued like a memory:
