Breaking the Day

Chapter 888: Between heaven and hell

Early in the morning, Mingzhu put on a headscarf, put on makeup, slightly covering her original face, and went out cautiously.

At this time, Mingzhu has not recovered to the appearance of the pretty talented woman. She is wearing a plain linen skirt. Due to the makeup, her face looks slightly freckled. These major cuts have reduced the beauty on her face and made her It turns out that this beauty who shines at a glance looks just a little bit patience now.

After escaping last time, Mingzhu was desperate to find that Shenjing was easy to come in because he had money at the time, but now they have no money, but it is difficult to go out, especially with a comatose Qianshanxue trying to escape. , It is impossible.

It's impossible to escape with your feet. It's even more impossible to hire a carriage to escape. Without money, it's even more idiotic to take a train.

Moreover, she seriously doubted that she would be chased by Qianshan's chasers when she took Qianshanxue to escape, so she gritted her teeth and boldly took Qianshanxue to live in this Shenjing.

After all, this is the largest city in the world. In an era when there were no high-rise buildings, the population of residents reached a terrifying four million!

To find two people in a city with such a large area and large population is like finding a needle in a haystack.

It is absolutely impossible for such a terrifying population to live in good housing. Therefore, the southwest of the city has become a slum where most of the slums live. The largest number of people here are the continuous squatters, some of which are simple grass and wood structures. The slightly better thing is just the bamboo and wood structure, and the house is next to the house, and there is something inside the house, and the next door can actually hear it clearly.

Looking down from a condescending position, this shanty town is densely populated, and I glanced at a section of a honeycomb that had been cut open, and there was a buzzing sound from the poorest class living at the bottom. No one can It can be distinguished whether it is the sound made by a bee or a fly.

After Mingzhu stole a linen skirt, she sold her original silky long skirt for the last bit of money, allowing them to settle in this slum.

But even so, it is so simple that it leaks air everywhere, it can only accommodate two people lying down and sleeping, and the small broken house that even has to face sideways has to collect two copper plates every day. Counting the food and drink of the two people, they also Can only afford to live for up to seven days!

She must find a job that can support herself as soon as possible!

So Mingzhu went out early in the morning, wanting to find a job, but out of the slum, Mingzhu is now trapped and confused in this honeycomb maze. Her left and right are the poor and the poor, they Some wore the simplest linen clothes, with a big hole in their body, but inside the big hole was frostbite, but they looked at her numbly, as if they were a walking dead, and Mingzhu looked like a dead person.

There was dirty, stinky water everywhere under her feet. They flowed freely on the ground. When stepping on the ground under her feet, they chirped, as if stepping in a swamp quagmire. You can hear the sound of waves when you pull up your feet, a clear reminder Everyone walking here: You are already in the most terrifying quagmire of your life, and no one wants to leave easily!

Although Mingzhu used to be a maid after being sold by her parents, she was later excavated by Qianshanxue because of her talent in music before she became his musician, but even after being sold, her living conditions have improved, despite the pressure of life. , Even the safety of life is precarious, but there has never been a shortage of fine clothes and food, and she has never experienced such a bitter cold and such a simple living environment.

The surrounding sounds buzzed and filled Mingzhu's mind, making her at a loss, until a hand next to her suddenly patted her shoulder, and a soft and kind voice came from the side.

"Girl, are you new here?"

Mingzhu suddenly came back to her senses. She turned her head to look, but saw a friendly smiling face next to her looking at her with a smile. This was a middle-aged woman in her forties, with a lovely face and a loyal face. The honest face makes people feel cordial and reliable at first glance.

Mingzhu nodded subconsciously, she said: "You are..."

The middle-aged woman said with a smile: "It's fine to call me Aunt Shen, the folks here call me like that."

Mingzhu nodded and said, "Aunt Shen..."

With a cry, the middle-aged woman took Mingzhu's hand and said with a smile: "Is the girl looking for a job?"

Mingzhu suddenly grasped the life-saving straw like a person falling into the water, and immediately used force in her hand to grasp Aunt Shen tightly, and said: "Aunt Shen has a way?"

Aunt Shen smiled triumphantly: "Is that right? Who doesn't know my Aunt Shen's way around here?"

Mingzhu hurriedly said, "Can Aunt Shen introduce a job to my niece? I can do anything, as long as I do a job!"

Aunt Shen said seriously: "But it's okay, but..."

Mingzhu immediately understood, and said quickly: "My niece will definitely not forget Aunt Shen's kindness of recommendation, there must be a reward!"

Aunt Shen smiled and said: "Eh, they are all poor people, and it is okay to help each other! However, Aunt Shen also eats this bowl of rice. If you introduce you to this job, Aunt Shen won't be too much, as long as you half of the first month. Income, how good?"

Mingzhu was relieved and nodded gratefully.

In her opinion, if Aunt Shen doesn't take any advantage, then she should be vigilant instead.

How can there be any pie in the sky?

Now that the other party made it clear to ask for benefits, she felt that Aunt Shen was reliable.

Mingzhu followed Aunt Shen in the labyrinth-like slums. After about two quarters of an hour, the two came to a hill-like slum where a pile of shantytowns piled up. Mingzhu was a little nervous. Looking around, I saw Kong Wu's powerful men all around, unkempt, staring at him like a wolf.

Mingzhu held her fists tightly, her arms tightly folded on her chest, her head low, she did not dare to make any eye contact with the people around her.

When she followed Aunt Shen into the room, she felt a wave of heat, and the brazier in the room was extremely hot. There were four tower-like thugs standing at the four corners, and the one in the center was tall with a beard and face. In the winter, the man with his arms wide open was sitting on a large wolfskin chair. On both sides of him, there were two hot-bodied, revealingly dressed women who were entangled with the man and laughed.

As soon as Aunt Shen entered the house, she pulled Mingzhu and knelt down, and said, "This is Master Quan! Most of the folks here are begging for food under the hands of Master Quan."

Mingzhu bowed his head respectfully and said, "Master!"

Aunt Shen smiled and said, "This is my niece, here to beg for food."

Quan Ye took a bite of the dried meat fed by the coquettish woman next to him, he raised his head and took a look at Ming Zhu. He looked up and down, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, it's just that the Lord wants to hire people!"

Aunt Shen was overjoyed and looked back at Mingzhu with a smile, and said, "You are lucky, just in time! If your niece is so prosperous in the future, remember Aunt Shen!"

Mingzhu was overjoyed and said quickly: "I will not forget Aunt Shen..."

Before he could finish talking, Aunt Shen smiled and said, "But, it's a bit of a pain in the beginning. My niece has to survive!"

Mingzhu was taken aback, and then she fainted with a pain in the back of her head. She fell softly, and a burly thug behind him carried her up like a sack.

Quan Ye waved his hand inadvertently, and the beater carried her out, leaving Aunt Shen to smile at him: "Master Quan, is this number enough?"

The grandfather curled his lips and said, "You old lady, you are lucky. If it weren't for the tight use of people in the building recently, where would it be your turn to behave like this?"

As he said, he threw a purse over, and Aunt Shen quickly caught it. She weighed it and listened to the sound inside. She felt that there were about two hundred copper plates in it. She immediately smiled and said, "Master, then So I went, if I find a good product, I will send it to Grandpa!"

The grandfather waved his hand impatiently, as if he didn't bother to take care of her.

Aunt Shen didn't care, she left with a smile, holding the money bag tightly in her hand.

Here, a slender and fair-looking woman is only worth two hundred copper plates... and on the other side of Shenyi Street in Shenyi, the price of a snack that can’t even be filled with teeth is Silver II. Two, equivalent to two thousand copper plates.
