Start a mysterious island

The red spots on the woman's body seemed to be spreading, and it seemed that the wounds on her body were still bleeding.

Lin Li didn't want to waste any more time with this woman. He stood up and quickly came to the disheveled woman. With a cry of surprise, he reached out and hugged her sideways.

The woman instinctively wanted to struggle, but when she saw Lin Li running quickly out of the alley with an expressionless face, she immediately became quiet.

Outside the alley, the bald man and his companion saw Lin Li walking into a dark alley. They waited for a while and were about to follow him when they saw Lin Li running out of the alley with a disheveled woman in his arms.

"What's going on? Why did a woman come out holding a woman in her arms not long after entering?"

The bald man and his companion saw Lin Li running further and further away with the woman in his arms. They discussed it, and one of them continued to follow Lin Li, while the other went to check in the alley.

The two of them split up and the bald man went to the alley to check the situation.

"Tap, step, step..."

There was a sound of footsteps in the inaccessible alley, and the bald man walked cautiously deeper into the alley.

When he came to the corner deep in the alley, he saw two masked men lying on the ground not far away. Beside them, two knives fell.

The bald man looked at the scene in front of him. As a member of the Bluestone Gang, he immediately guessed what happened here not long ago.

He stepped forward to check on the two masked men who were lying motionless on the ground, and found that both men were dead. One had a collapsed chest and the other had a collapsed back. They were completely dead.

"There are no unnecessary injuries on the body. They were all killed in one blow. Was it that guy who did it?"

The bald man looked at the two dead masked gangsters and muttered to himself, and then he discovered that the two masked gangsters had a conspicuous tattoo on the back of their hands.

"These two people are from the Red Blood Gang. Good guys, they dare to kill people from the Red Blood Gang like this. They are really brave."

The Bluestone Gang and the Red Blood Gang had a good relationship. As a member of the Bluestone Gang, the bald man recognized the tattoos on the back of the masked gangster's hands at a glance and knew their identities.

In a medical clinic in Dongwucheng.

"Sir, this lady has several stab wounds on her body. Fortunately, the wounds are quite shallow and not in any vital parts. I have stopped the bleeding of her wounds.

I’ll prescribe some healing ointment, apply it morning and night, and you’ll be healed in half a month…”

After the gray-haired female doctor examined the body of the disheveled woman, she told Lin Li the results of the examination and wrote the name of the ointment to be prescribed on the paper in front of her.

It takes half a month to heal. It seems to be an ordinary ointment... After listening to the doctor's story, Lin Li turned to look at the woman lying on the hospital bed.

Later, Lin Li paid 500 copper for medical treatment and took the woman out of the hospital.

After resting on the hospital bed for a while, the woman had recovered a lot of strength and could walk.

The two of them were walking one behind the other. The woman was holding a backpack in her hand, keeping a distance of three or four steps from Lin Li.

Suddenly, Lin Li stopped and turned his head to look at the woman.

The woman seemed to have something on her mind. When Lin Li stopped like this, she almost bumped into Lin Li. Fortunately, she stopped in time.

"It's getting late, let's just say goodbye!" Lin Li said as he prepared to return to Blue Star.

"I..." The woman opened her mouth. She originally wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything. Then she nodded, turned around and left.

Lin Li thought for a moment, then called out to the woman who was leaving, "Wait a minute."

"Benefactor?"

"You...are you going home next?"

The woman remained silent and did not answer Lin Li's inquiry.

Lin Li saw the other party's reaction and thought to himself that he had guessed correctly. This penniless woman should have no home in Dongwu City.

"Tell me about your situation! Of course, if you find it inconvenient to tell me, that's okay," Lin Li said.

The woman thought for more than ten seconds and then said to Lin Li, "I heard that you can earn a lot of money by working here in Dongwucheng. Then I left the village and just arrived here today with the caravan..."

"Since you come here to work, why don't you have any money?" Lin Li asked in confusion.

"Among the people who came to Dongwu City with the caravan, there was one who, like me, came here to work.

He told me that he knew a friend who could introduce me to work in a wealthy family's home, and the wages were very high.

But I needed some money to take care of the housekeeper of that wealthy family, so I gave him all the money I had, and then..."

The woman told Lin Li why she was penniless.

After listening to the woman's story, Lin Li thought to himself, what happened to this woman in Dongwu City is not what happened to some workers on Blue Star who were defrauded of all their money by black agencies.

"I never expected that there are such liars in the spiritual world." Lin Li muttered softly.

Then he looked at the very depressed woman and asked, "You are really brave. Every girl dares to come to Dongwu City with a caravan to work alone."

"..." The woman was silent.

Seeing her reaction, Lin Li immediately thought that when he was shopping on the street, he saw many young, obviously underage children working at high intensity.

This world is not Blue Star, and there is no law prohibiting the employment of minors.

Even children have to work like this. It is normal for the woman in front of me to come to Dongwu City alone with a caravan to find a job.

"My dear friend, do you have anything else to do? If not, I would like to find a place to stay before the night is too late?" the woman said.

"Are you penniless now? You have trouble finding a place to stay. Are you planning to sleep on the street?" Lin Li asked bluntly.

"..." The woman was silent again.

Fine! I guessed it again, this woman was really planning to sleep on the street... Lin Li looked at the woman he had rescued, thought for a moment, then took out a two-silver-coin banknote from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Benefactor?"

"Take it!"

The woman shook her head and did not reach out to take the money handed over by Lin Li. Lin Li paid for the treatment at the medical center just now. How could she have the nerve to accept Lin Li's money now?

"You are penniless now and you can't survive in Dongwu City. I'll lend you these two silver coins. When you make money in the future, you can just return it to me." Lin Li used a tactful way of saying it, hoping that the other party would be able to Accept your own help.

The woman looked up at Lin Li, her eyes fell on her savior's face through the gap between the hair on her forehead, and she said with gratitude.

"My dear friend, thank you for your help. You have just paid for my treatment fee. I can't accept any more money."

"Why are you so stubborn? I told you, this money is not given to you for free." Lin Li said helplessly, thinking to himself, he wanted to help the other party, but why was it so troublesome.

"My mother taught me since I was a child that you can't take other people's things for nothing," the woman said. Then, she made a suggestion that stunned Lin Li for a moment.

"My dear friend, I am very good at washing clothes and cooking. Can you let me work at your house? I don't want much wages, just 800 coppers a month."

"..."

This woman is really strange. She doesn't want the free money, but wants to ask me for a job as my nanny. Unfortunately, I don't have a home in the spirit world, so I don't need a nanny at all.

However, what she said really reminded me that it was almost time for me to arrange a permanent residence in Dongwu City.

After all, I will come to Dongwucheng often in the future. Having a fixed residence here will help me integrate into the local area better. When I interact with local people, if they ask me where I live, it will be a good idea. a statement.

When the woman saw that Lin Li did not speak, but looked at her in a daze, she thought that her savior was dissatisfied with her proposal. She was about to withdraw her proposal when she heard Lin Li say.

"I have just arrived in Dongwu City a few days ago. I have been living in an inn, and I am currently planning to buy a house and settle down in Dongwu City.

At that time, the family will also need someone to help me take care of the housework. If you are willing, you can come to my house as a nanny... In terms of wages, I will definitely not only give you 800 coppers a month. "

"What is a nanny?" The woman was confused for a while, but based on the content of Lin Li's words, she probably knew what he meant by saying that a nanny should be a servant who does housework.

The woman is now penniless and can be said to be desperate. Compared with the salary, she actually doesn't care much. She is very satisfied if she can have a job and a place to live.

After hearing Lin Li say that he wanted to hire him, he nodded immediately, "I am willing."

"Okay, then I'll find you an inn to stay in first. After I buy a house in the next few days, you can start your formal work."

"Um."

After many twists and turns, the woman who came to Dongwu City, after experiencing the robbery incident that almost killed her, now heard that the kind-hearted savior in front of her was willing to give her a job and take her in, and she felt that the burden on her heart disappeared. Gone.

"I still don't know what your name is? Please introduce yourself!"

Lin Li, who had decided to purchase a property in Dongwu City and regard it as his future base in this world, smiled and said to the woman who would soon become his nanny.

"My name is Lin Li."

"My name is Qin Muqing."

The two parties exchanged names, and then Lin Li took the woman named Qin Muqing to an inn. After renting two rooms, he asked the waiter to deliver a meal to Qin Muqing's room.

According to Qin Muqing's story, she hadn't eaten anything until noon today! Lin Li felt that she must be very hungry now.

"The waiter in the store will deliver you a meal later. If it's not enough, you can continue to ask him to deliver it to you. The money will be recorded in the account. I will pay for it later..."

In Qin Muqing's room, Lin Li saw the waiter leaving the room and going to prepare meals. He turned to Qin Muqing who was sitting by the bed and said.

"Yes." Qin Muqing nodded honestly. At this time, Lin Li's eyes fell on the backpack beside her and asked casually.

"Do you have anything important in this backpack? The situation just now was so dangerous, and you didn't even say anything to let go?"

"Clothes." Qin Muqing said.

"Uh..." When Lin Li heard this answer, he was speechless again for this honest and somewhat dull woman. He didn't expect that Qin Muqing would even risk his life for a few pieces of clothes.

However, considering that she came all the way from a village in the countryside to work in Dongwucheng, it was just that she failed to find a job and was deceived by a scammer into being penniless.

The clothes in the backpack were this woman's last possessions. It was understandable why she would be unwilling to let go in such a dangerous situation for these few clothes that Lin Li thought were worthless.

The sun has set and it's almost time. Lin Li is going back to Blue Star.

He stood up and said to Qin Muqing, "Okay, let's stop talking here! I'm a little tired and have to go back to the room to rest. See you tomorrow."

"My dear friend, aren't you having dinner?" Qin Muqing asked.

"I've already eaten. Um...you should tidy up your hair. It's not good to have it disheveled like this."

Upon hearing this, Qin Muqing immediately smoothed back her loose hair and tied it into a ponytail.

The face that could not be seen due to the disheveled hair was immediately revealed.

This woman named Qin Muqing should be in her mid-twenties, with an ordinary appearance, the kind of ordinary person who would not be noticed at a glance if she is thrown into the crowd.

"Very good, as long as it's not a little girl. Otherwise, after I buy my house, I'll feel a little guilty if I ask a minor to help me with the housework at home..."

Lin Li saw Qin Muqing's appearance and thought to himself.

Then, he took out a healing ointment from his pocket and bought it at the pharmacy on Blue Star and placed it on the table.

In the medical clinic just now, the ointment prescribed by the doctor was just an ordinary ointment, so Lin Li didn't buy it.

After all, the therapeutic effect of ordinary ointments is not as good as the therapeutic ointments specially used by exotic beast hunters to heal wounds.

"After dinner, you can apply this ointment on the injured area." After Lin Li finished explaining, he walked towards the door.

Qin Muqing stood up quickly and walked Lin Li to the door. She watched Lin Li walk into the next room before closing the door.

When Qin Muqing was the only one left in the guest room, this woman, who had a somewhat dull look in her eyes and looked like an honest person, suddenly changed her temperament to something agile, and her dull eyes became clear, bright and radiant.

Qin Muqing, whose temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes, came to the bed where the backpack was placed, sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up the backpack that she had been reluctant to let go of before, and placed it on her well-proportioned thighs.

He opened his backpack and found a few ordinary linen clothes inside.

Qin Muqing rummaged through the linen clothes and found a round jade bead the size of a pigeon egg.

"The time is almost up. Fortunately, he left on his own initiative. Otherwise, I would still have some troubles to deal with!"

Qin Muqing held a round jade bead the size of a pigeon egg in her hand and muttered to herself.

A few seconds after her words fell, her ordinary face was seen, as if a pebble was thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples.

When the waves of water disappeared, a beautiful woman with rosy cheeks, skin like gelatin, and a charming face appeared in the guest room.
