Tian Yuan

The steward who heard this frowned slightly, looked at it carefully for a few times, and did not agree: "Not necessary for the time being."

The person in front of me has an unknown origin and must not be recruited.

"All right!"

Chen Qingyuan looked slightly disappointed.

The backyard manager closed the door and ignored it.

Since we can't stay in this inn for long, we have to change direction.

In such a big town, there must be a job vacant for sure!

Running around here and there, rushing back and forth.

Finally, I found a hard job in the west of the city.

Recently, a chamber of commerce needs to expand its house, which requires a large amount of labor.

There is no salary and only two meals a day.

This is good news for Chen Qingyuan.

A contract must be signed before working. If someone dies accidentally while working, the Chamber of Commerce will have nothing to do with it, no compensation will be made, and the family members cannot cause trouble.

In order to survive, the young and strong man who came to work hard had no right to refute and just pressed his fingerprints obediently.

Stones, bricks, and all kinds of sturdy wood are moved every day.

Chen Qingyuan, who sealed himself as a Taoist, felt extremely exhausted and was often gasping for breath and sweating profusely.

After a busy day, I can finally take a break.

The workers gathered together, lay on the ground, ate steamed buns, chatted with each other about their past, and gradually became familiar with each other.

Someone came to talk to Chen Qingyuan and casually agreed with him.

At first, Chen Qingyuan, who was working, ate two meals a day, but later he changed to one meal a day.

It’s not that the boss of the Chamber of Commerce has become more heartless, but that Chen Qingyuan saved the food for the night and left it for a few children who were begging at the entrance of the alley.

Abandoned from birth, young and unable to work, they had no choice but to beg for a living.

After a few visits, Chen Qingyuan got to know a few little kids. Whenever night fell, they would often sit together and chat, talking about funny things and laughing heartily.

Although life is hard, we must learn to find joy in it.

"Brother Chen, you do heavy work every day, and the money you earn is not enough for your own food, yet you still help us."

A seven-year-old girl, all dirty, with black dirt all over her face. She made herself look like this on purpose so that she would not be easily targeted by bad guys.

"Sister Miao came here to give out porridge today. We mixed a bite to eat, which is enough. Brother Chen, you've worked hard, just eat it yourself!"

Looking at the steamed bun handed by Chen Qingyuan, another kid said.

"I'll eat half, and you guys can share the other half."

Chen Qingyuan broke the steamed bun into two halves.

After some polite talks, the children finally accepted the kindness.

When a person is hungry, he has only one worry.

After filling your stomach, countless worries begin.

"The stars in the sky are so beautiful. My mother died last year. Will she become a star?"

A child looked up at the starry sky, imagining that his mother was looking at him from the sky.

"If I could study, I wouldn't have to suffer this."

The little boy hated his fate. Why were others born with luxury while he was abandoned by his parents and had no food or clothes to eat or wear?

"Don't think about it, just go to sleep!"

Chen Qingyuan patted the kids on the head in a friendly manner.

In a blink of an eye, three months have passed.

The Chamber’s expansion is now complete and no longer requires temporary workers.

So, Chen Qingyuan had to think about how to fill his stomach again.

"It's really hard for ordinary people to survive!"

With a sigh, Chen Qingyuan decided to say goodbye to the kids he knew.

"I won't be able to bring you food anymore. You have to rely on yourselves in the future."

Chen Qingyuan used to be able to tighten his belt and eat one meal a day to avoid starvation. Now that he has no work to do, he has to move.

"Brother Chen, thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Although the children were in poverty, they were very grateful and bowed to them.

"Let's go." Chen Qingyuan raised his hand, gave a smile, then turned and left.

"Leave the city, build a simple house in the mountains, and make a living by hunting."

There are too many rules in the city, and it is difficult to find a long-term job. After much thought, I can only go out of the city to make a living.

With Chen Qingyuan's experience, it was not too difficult to survive in the mountains.

Although you don't have a hatchet or something like that, you can go to the stream and find a sharp stone and find a way to make some simple tools.

If you can get through these few years and wait for the right opportunity, you can escape from your current difficult life.

Having made the decision, Chen Qingyuan headed out of the city.

We passed through the streets and gradually approached the city gate.

Suddenly, a very loud voice came from behind: "Hey!"

Chen Qingyuan didn't pay attention at first, thinking that he was calling someone else, and continued walking.

Later, the voice got closer and I felt like it was calling out to me: "Barefoot guy, didn't you hear me? You're still walking forward. Are you so rude?"

Chen Qingyuan lowered his eyebrows and seemed to be barefoot.

A few months ago, I had a pair of cloth shoes. They were worn out while I was working and became inconvenient, so I gave them to a little beggar.

He stopped, turned around and looked with surprise. It was her!

The lady from Miaofu Inn, no wonder her voice sounded familiar.

"Are you talking to me?"

Chen Qingyuan looked at Miss Miao who was walking towards him and asked a question.

"Nonsense!" Today, Miss Miao was wearing a clean and tidy dark cloth dress. She didn't put on any makeup but her complexion was like the morning glow reflecting the snow. Unfortunately, as long as she opened her mouth to speak, it would destroy this fresh and refined beauty: "I just happened to pass by here. Where are you going?"

"Out of town."

Chen Qingyuan answered truthfully.

"Leave the city? Are you crazy?" Miss Miao asked in surprise.

"It's too difficult to live in the city. Maybe there will be more opportunities if you go out of the city."

Chen Qingyuan explained the reason with a calm expression.

"At least you can get some leftovers in the city. Outside the city, there are dangers everywhere. You will either be fed to wild animals or killed by thieves. You don't even understand this. You are so stupid!"

Miss Miao couldn't understand why so many poor people wanted to go into the city but couldn't, and yet this guy in front of her actually wanted to go out of the city to make a living. He was so hopelessly stupid.

"......" After being scolded in person, Chen Qingyuan was speechless and did not feel angry.

It can be heard that Miss Miao has no ill intentions, it's just that the way she speaks is a little peculiar.

"Girl, if you have nothing else to do, I'll leave."

After saying that, Chen Qingyuan prepared to turn around and walk towards the city gate again.

"Stop!" Miss Miao shouted, "I didn't ask you to leave. Why are you in such a hurry? Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"

"......"Chen Qingyuan.

"I'm the owner of Miaofu Inn. Since you have a good character, I'm offering you a job. The salary is very low, and food and accommodation are provided. Do you want it?"

In recent months, when Miss Miao was giving porridge to beggars who were unable to work, she often saw Chen Qingyuan helping the young. She sent someone to inquire about the situation and found out that he had no connection with the hostile people, so she developed a good impression of him.

It just so happened that the inn needed staff, and it happened today, so I decided to give Chen Qingyuan this opportunity.

"It's good enough that I can pay you. Don't even think about bargaining. Just follow me."

Before Chen Qingyuan could reply, Miss Miao gave him a fierce look and her tone left no room for doubt.

"..."

To be honest, Chen Qingyuan rarely met such a fierce woman. Strangely, this action did not make people feel uncomfortable, but rather a bit warm.

The two servants following behind Miss Miao smiled kindly at Chen Qingyuan and waved, signaling him to come over quickly and not stand there stupidly.
