In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Didak appeared in a tavern in the town of Shambhala, which was the same tavern that Richard entered.
Didak is a man in his early thirties, about 1.8 meters tall, extremely strong, and the bulging muscles under his clothes fully tell strangers that he is not easy to mess with.
However, he was not in a very good condition at this time. His hair was messy and his face was disheveled. He was sitting in a corner of the tavern, carefully counting dozens of beans in the bowl - this was his only food today.
"One pill, two pills, three pills... thirty-five pills!"
Didak spoke out, looked at the beans in the bowl and said: "There are only thirty-five beans. Well, then we have to plan carefully. After all, we haven't eaten lunch and dinner yet. So... just eighteen beans." Beans for lunch, and seventeen beans for dinner.”
After a pause for a few seconds, Didak was a little confused: "In this case, will dinner be too little? There are only seventeen beans. If you don't eat enough for dinner and can't sleep at night, it will be uncomfortable. In the past few days, just I rely on sleep to resist hunger. How about eating seventeen beans for lunch and eighteen beans for dinner?"
"Or..." Didak rolled his eyes, "Count again, just in case there is a surprise. If the beans are not thirty-five, but thirty-six, it will be easier to divide."
Didak reached into the bowl and counted the beans again.
"One pill, two pills, three pills... Thirty-three pills, thirty-four pills... Thirty-four pills? Huh? Why are there only thirty-four pills? There were clearly thirty-five pills just now, why is one suddenly missing? grain?"
This is not a surprise, this is a shock!
Didak's eyes widened and he looked around quickly. Finally, he looked down at the ground and saw the discarded beans lying there quietly. It turned out that during the counting process, he used too much force and accidentally knocked out a bean. .
The beans rolled to the ground, covered with a lot of dust, which greatly reduced people's appetite.
Didak didn't care. He stared at the beans on the ground and said to himself firmly: "Food that falls on the ground can be eaten in less than three minutes. Yes, it can be eaten."
"brush!"
Didak quickly picked up the beans and put them into his mouth. He didn't even chew them, and swallowed them directly with his saliva.
"Gudong!"
"Well-"
Didak showed a look of enjoyment, which was the joy of eating.
After feeling happy, he looked at the beans in the bowl with a sigh and said, "In this case, I can only eat seventeen beans for lunch and dinner."
Just as he was sighing, the door of the tavern suddenly opened, and a short man about 1.6 meters tall ran in.
His name is Bo Fei, he looks to be in his mid-twenties, and he is a good friend of Didak.
After Bo Fei ran into the tavern, he stood at the door and looked around. He saw Didak sitting in the corner. His eyes lit up and he hurriedly approached. Because he was too fast, he bumped into the table before stopping.
After the collision, Bo Fei did not cry out in pain, looked at Didak and said quickly: "Brother Didak, I have been looking for you for a long time, and finally found you! Why are you here?"
Didak carefully supported the shaking table and protected the bowl of beans on the table. He looked at Bo Fei and complained feebly: "If I'm not here, where can I go? This is the tavern with the cheapest food. The remaining half of my copper coins can only buy food here, and the rest of the places ignore me at all."
At the end, Didak gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn mine owners, they are really all a bunch of cowards. There are rumors that all the demons have left. It is true that no one has died inexplicably in the past few days. Why not?" Start work?! I have almost spent all my money. If I don’t start work, I will starve to death."
At the end of the sentence, Didak thought of something, looked at Bo Fei, and said with some hope: "By the way, Bo Fei, do you have any money? If you have money, please lend me some and let me buy one." Eat the fat chicken, and I will pay it back to you when you start working and have money later." As he spoke, Didak couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he thought of the deliciousness of the fat chicken.
Bo Fei gave a bitter smile, spread his hands and replied to Didak: "Brother Didak, don't you know my situation? The money has been spent long ago. If I hadn't been eating at my uncle's house, I starved to death three days ago. But recently, my aunt's face has become worse and worse, and she has been avoiding me to eat. I have been hungry for almost a day, and I can't help you at all."
"Then why are you looking for me?" After hearing what he said, Didak glared at Bo Fei angrily, "I thought you could have some good news for me."
"I do have good news for you." Bo Fei remembered the purpose of coming to the tavern and quickly approached Didak and said, "Let me tell you, Brother Didak, I just heard someone say that a mine has started construction. We’re hiring.”
"Really? Where?"
"Mine No. 13." Bo Fei said.
"Mining No. 13?" Didak was stunned and frowned, "I seem to have never heard of this mine. It is a small mine. Wait, this name seems familiar to me..."
Didak's eyes widened little by little, and suddenly he slapped Bo Fei on the head and said: "Hell, isn't Mine No. 13 the place where the demon first appeared in the rumors? More than a dozen people were killed. , blood dyed the ground red!"
"Yes, that's right there." Bo Fei nodded.
"Then you still let me go?" Didak was angry.
"Brother Didak, don't be angry." Bo Fei quickly explained, "That place is indeed a bit dangerous, and the devil did kill people there, but didn't you also say that it has been quiet for many days recently, and the devil has Leaving the small town of Shambhala."
"That won't work, what if the devil is still there? I won't joke with my own life." Didak said seriously.
"But..." Bo Fei spoke up, giving out key information, "But that's one of the few places recruiting people right now. I've also heard that the wages are 50% more than elsewhere, and they're paid on a daily basis."
"What!" Didak shouted, and stood up suddenly, startling Bo Fei.
"You said that the wages are 50% more than elsewhere, and they are paid on a daily basis. Did I hear you correctly?" Didak asked with eyes shining.
"That's right." Bo Fei nodded vigorously.
"In this case, doesn't it mean that if I go to work today, I can get money to have a big meal in the evening?"
"Yes." Bo Fei nodded vigorously again, "That's why I'm so anxious to find you, otherwise I'll be late and we'll only get half a day's pay. Or worse, if the other party recruits enough people, we won't have a chance to make money."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Let's go right now!" Didak said, picking up the beans on the table, raising his neck, and poured them all into his mouth.
After chewing briefly twice, he cocked his neck and forcefully swallowed it with a "gudong" sound. Then he waved his hand and walked out with Bo Fei.
