As soon as Chu Jun came out of the magic treasure house, he immediately noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. There were many city guards patrolling the streets, and they would interrogate people about their origins when they caught them. Chu Jun couldn't help but secretly screamed that something was wrong. Could it be that the Yun family had discovered Yun Yun's murder and were now sealing off the Beast Taming City to search for the murderer? The power of the Yun family is not that big in Beast Taming City. If I had known it, I would have gone to Shuangye City.
"Brother, does he need a place to stay?"
While he was deep in thought, a timid and childish voice came from behind. Chu Jun turned around and saw a fifteen or sixteen year old girl standing behind him, wearing a light green skirt, but the skirt was already It was so white that it had faded and turned white, and there were several patches on the bottom of the skirt. The edges of the skirt were seriously damaged and were pulled out in strands, making it look very shabby.
This girl has a sallow face and thin muscles, but she is at the age when her body is hairy. Her tall and thin body is like a newly tasseled bag. Although she looks ordinary, her eyes are very pure and bright. The skirt on her body clearly She had been wearing it for too long and it no longer fit her. The hem of her skirt hung up high, exposing her two fair and tender legs. The sleeves were not long enough, which made her look timid.
When the girl saw Chu Jun turning around to look, she immediately lowered her head timidly and repeated mechanically: "Brother, do you need a place to stay?"
Chu Jun himself was born in poverty. When he saw the girl's shabby clothes, he immediately felt pity and asked, "Do you have a place to rent?"
When the girl heard Chu Jun's gentle tone, she boldly raised her head and said, "Yes, brother, do you want to rent?"
Chu Jun was about to find a place to stay, so he nodded and said, "Yes, how many spiritual crystals per month?"
The girl's eyes lit up and she quickly said: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, twenty spiritual crystals a month!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but be a little surprised. Twenty pieces of spiritual crystals were indeed not expensive, and they were so cheap. You should know that the entrance fee to the city cost two pieces of spiritual crystals.
"Really twenty pieces of spiritual crystal?" Chu Jun asked with some disbelief.
The girl's momentum suddenly weakened, and she lowered her head and said: "Brother, if you want eighteen spiritual crystals, no more, if you rent, I can help you cook and wash for free!"
Chu Jun was a little stunned and said: "You... you help me wash and cook? This is not good!"
The girl nodded seriously and said, "Since we all live together, we should help each other!"
"We all live together, you live with me?" Chu Jun couldn't help being dumbfounded.
The girl's face turned red and she quickly said: "Brother, don't get me wrong. It's not just the two of us who live there. My father also lives there. There are two rooms in that courtyard, but the rent costs 40 yuan of spiritual crystals per month. It's too expensive. Me and Dad can't afford it, so he wants to give up one of the rooms!" After the girl finished speaking, she looked at Chu Jun timidly.
Chu Jun suddenly felt sorry for him. He dared to share his lover's house with him. It's no wonder. The way he was dressed now, he looked like a poor and idle guy. The little girl regarded him as the best roommate at a glance.
Chu Jun touched his chin dumbfounded. Naturally, he didn't want to live in the same yard with strangers. It was so inconvenient. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to living with others!"
The girl immediately lowered her head in disappointment. She had hit the wall several times in the past few days. After all, we didn't know each other. Who would want to share a room with a stranger. Today she was guarding the city gate. She saw Chu Jun walking around after entering the city, looking around. He was obviously a new arrival. He must not have a place to live yet. Moreover, looking at his clothes, he looked like a miserable bodybuilder, so the girl mustered up her courage. I came to inquire, but unexpectedly I was rejected.
"Brother, do you want to rent fifteen spiritual crystals?" the girl asked reluctantly.
Chu Jun was about to refuse apologetically, but when he saw a group of city guards walking towards him, he suddenly felt something in his heart and said quickly: "Then take me to see them!"
The girl was immediately overjoyed and said: "Brother is such a good person, please come with me!" After saying that, she turned around and led the way briskly.
Chu Jun couldn't help but shook his head secretly. This girl was too kind. Forty yuan of spiritual crystals per month would occupy half of the courtyard for someone else to pay fifteen yuan, and she still said that someone else was a good person!
"What's the girl's name?" Chu Jun asked.
The girl turned around and smiled: "My name is Xu Xiaoqi, you can just call me Xiaoqi. What do you call me, brother?"
"My name is Lin Shan!" Chu Jun split his name in half.
The girl didn't have the slightest doubt and sweetly called out: "Brother Lin!"
Chu Jun followed the girl around and around, and finally came to the girl's residence at the end of an alley.
The girl opened the courtyard door and walked out, shouting happily: "Dad, I'm back!"
Chu Jun glanced at this narrow courtyard. It was only fifty or sixty square meters in size. Not to mention the spiritual trees, there was not even a single plant. However, a courtyard with forty spiritual crystals per month was just like this.
"Ahem!" Two coughs came, and Xiao Qi was seen supporting a man in his fifties as he walked out.
This middle-aged male cultivator looks very tall, but he is very weak at this time, his face is pale and yellow, and he needs help when walking. He is obviously seriously injured.
"Is this little brother Lin Shan?" the middle-aged male cultivator asked, looking at Chu Jun.
Chu Jun hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "Boy Linshan has met Uncle Xu!"
The middle-aged male cultivator coughed a few times and said: "Brother Lin, I'm sorry that I'm injured and can't return the favor. I don't know that my little girl has found someone to share a room with, but I'm really sorry for a dying old man. Don’t worry, my daughter is living in the same place with a stranger, so I made Brother Lin’s trip in vain. I’m really sorry!”
The girl immediately bit her lower lip and remained silent!
Chu Jun originally just wanted to use the girl to avoid the interrogation of the city guard. It would be best if the courtyard could be shared, but it didn't matter if it couldn't be shared. He was also worried about his daughter living in the same courtyard with a strange man, so he hugged his fists and smiled. He said: "It doesn't matter, I'll take my leave now!"
The middle-aged male cultivator couldn't help but be a little surprised. He heard from his daughter that the guy in front of him only offered fifteen spiritual crystals, and he wanted his daughter to help him wash and cook for free before he would rent it. He had already regarded Chu Jun as an old fritter who loved to take advantage of small things. , I originally thought it would not be easy to send him away. He was already ready to compensate for two spiritual crystals. Unexpectedly, as soon as he proposed, the other party immediately agreed to leave. He is a very gentleman. It seems that he has misjudged the wrong person this time. , the other party really didn’t mean to take advantage of Xiao Qi. Judging from his appearance, he must be too poor to pay the rent, so he was only willing to offer fifteen spiritual crystals.
"Miss Xiaoqi, farewell!" Chu Jun smiled, turned around and walked out of the hospital.
The middle-aged male cultivator suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to keep this young man in a shared apartment. However, the words had already been spoken, and naturally it was difficult to take them back. He quickly said: "Xiao Qi, send me a farewell to Brother Lin. The alleys here are complicated!"
Xiao Qi nodded and sent Chu Jun out of the yard.
"Brother Lin, I'm sorry!" Xiao Qi said apologetically.
Chu Jun smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, but your father is seriously injured. Why don't you go to a doctor for treatment?"
Xiao Qi's eyes suddenly turned red, and she shook her head and said: "Our family relies on dad to go hunting for a living. Last month, dad was injured by the wind blade of a second-level mid-level spiritual beast. It cost almost all his savings to save a living." He died, but he suffered internal injuries. We can't afford the high cost of treatment or the elixir, so we can only drag it out like this!"
Chu Jun frowned and said, "Then you don't have any friends or relatives to ask for help?"
Xiao Qi's eyes became even redder, and she sniffed and said, "My father and I have been dependent on each other since we were young. We have no relatives or friends, and some casual acquaintances will not lend us spiritual crystals. We can hardly afford the rent this month." That's why I went to find someone to rent with... Well, Brother Lin, I'm sorry for making you laugh!" Xiao Qi wiped her eyes and smiled and said: "Brother Lin, I'm back. I'm really sorry this time. It’s a waste of time for you!” He turned around and ran back.
Looking at Xiao Qi's thin and slender back, Chu Jun suddenly felt like his nose was sore. He remembered that it was the same at home. The pot at home would often not be turned on for several days. He and his sister were so hungry that stars appeared in their eyes, and even the sight of a pile of sweet potato peels made them look like stars. His eyes glowed blue, and he didn't feel better until he arrived in the army.
Chu Jun shook his head. There were too many people in need of help in this world, and he was not a god, so he could not help as much as he could.
Chu Jun was about to leave when suddenly an old man with gray hair came from the alley. He could tell that he was in the early stage of Ning Ling. The alley was quite narrow, so Chu Jun hurriedly stepped aside. The old man glanced at Chu Jun's dress and asked casually: "Are you looking for a place to stay?"
A flash of doubt flashed in Chu Jun's eyes. Could it be that with the words chiselled on his forehead, how could others know that he was looking for rent at a glance
When the old man saw Chu Jun's face, he knew that he had guessed it right. He said a little proudly: "You look very handsome. A new bodybuilder like you will most likely be looking for a place to stay when he wanders around in the alleys!"
Chu Jun couldn't help but be speechless. The old man's subtext was obviously that a pauper like himself could only find a place to live in these nooks and crannies.
However, Chu Jun wanted to live more secluded, but he didn't bother to pay attention to the contempt in the old man's eyes, and said calmly: "Not bad! I'm looking for a place to live!"
The old man patted Chu Jun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Lucky for you, my uncle is the manager here. I am responsible for all the alleys and yards in this area. If you want to rent a yard, you have to find me!"
"What a coincidence? You don't want to lie to me," Chu Jun said dubiously.
The old man suddenly said in annoyance: "Boy, the name of my tenant is known to everyone in this area. If you don't believe it, you can just ask someone casually. Hey, that room is the yard rented by Xu Laojian. Ten spiritual crystals a month, but that guy hasn't paid the rent for almost two months. If it weren't for the fact that his daughter Xiaoqi is quite well-behaved, I would have kicked him out long ago. Now the deadline is approaching. I'm about to press for rent. If you don't believe me, just follow me to see the excitement and see if Xu Laojian dares to fart!"
Chu Jun immediately believed it, nodded and said: "You don't have to watch the excitement, then you can rent me a yard nearby!"
When the old man saw that there was business, he immediately became energetic and said quickly: "There is an empty yard next to Xu Laojian. You can go and have a look!"
Chu Jun followed the guy who called himself Uncle Tong into a courtyard. This place was about the same size as Xiaoqi's room, and it was pretty clean. Chu Jun was not picky about where he lived. After looking at it for a few times, he nodded and said, "This is the one!"
The old man suddenly beamed and said: "Young man is so cheerful. If you are cheerful, I am also cheerful. I will charge you thirty-eight spiritual crystals a month. A yard like this usually costs forty spiritual crystals a month. I like you, young man." I’ll take you two spiritual crystals!”
Chu Jun couldn't help but feel a good impression of the old man and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, uncle. Oh, by the way, how many spiritual crystals does Xu Laojian next door owe you?"
The old man said in shock: "Eighty spiritual crystals in two months, what happened?"
"Xiao Qi and I are friends. This is one hundred and eighteen pieces of spiritual crystal. I also gave them two months' rent, but I must tell her that I live here!" Chu Jun said.
The old man took the spirit crystal, glanced at Chu Jun meaningfully and said: "Hey, boy, you have good eyesight. Although the little girl Xiaoqi is a little thinner, if she puts on a decent set of clothes and her skin becomes whiter, she will definitely She’s a beauty!”
Chu Jun couldn't help rolling his eyes and didn't bother to explain to this disrespectful and gossipy old man.
Uncle Tong rented out the yard, received the back rent, and left humming a little tune.
