The morning sun rose slowly, and a faint light sprinkled on the ground, bringing some vitality and vitality to Kai Mu.
In a dilapidated hut at the corner of Kaimu City, Luo Xiu cursed as he stirred the medicinal soup in front of him with a wooden stick. His gnashing teeth looked very ferocious, and the veins on his hand that was holding the wooden stick had long since popped out. Especially when he glanced at the beggar on the bed who was completely mutilated, Luo Xiu looked as if he wanted to bite and eat human flesh.
If it wasn't for a trace of guilt, Luo Xiu definitely wouldn't have given the broken bowl to Ye Qiu.
If it wasn't for his pity, Luo Xiu definitely wouldn't have carried him back.
If he hadn't seen that ghastly bloody hole, Luo Xiu would have sworn that he definitely wouldn't have brewed medicine for him!
No, there were too many nots... However, he still did it.
It was extremely difficult for Luo Xiu to earn money. He had spent almost all of his money on medicine. Of course…This was just the money he had on him. If there were professionals present, they would have realized the true value of this remote hut. As the owner of the small black hut, Luo Xiu was obviously not an ordinary swindler.
The walls of the small black room were completely blackened by the smoke. If one were to look closely, it was not difficult to see that the smoke stains on the walls had some familiar patterns. These patterns depicted the head of the founding emperor of the Northern Mystic Empire, Xuan Ye. In the entire Northern Mystic Empire, there were not many people who could enjoy this head portrait, only…Gold coins! Although it was not a wall full of gold coins, it was definitely a lot.
His family had only saved so much money, yet Luo Xiu was still willing to swindle people everywhere. There could only be two reasons for this. Luo Xiu's father, who was once famous for being a swindler, might have left him…This fellow was a complete miser. Relatively speaking, the latter was more likely. Just based on the fact that spending a few coppers to buy medicine for Ye Qiu was enough to make him cry, the height of money in Luo Xiu's heart…It was difficult to measure!
Luo Xiu's fate was also quite miserable. Although he had a father who was a swindler leader, he was killed before he could remember his father's face clearly. Not long after, the entire Luo family was slaughtered. If it wasn't for the nanny secretly hiding him, Luo Xiu wouldn't be here today.
At that time, Roxiu was only five years old. What could a five-year-old do? Most children would still be playing with fences and enjoying the warmth of their families. However, Roxiu didn't have such an opportunity back then. Other than begging on the streets, he learned how to deceive others. Slowly, he relied on these two skills to survive in the vile city of Kemm.
Luo Xiu had heard that one could make a fortune in the desert. He wanted to give it a try. He bought a few chicken drumsticks, brought a few pounds of beef, and water into the desert. Slowly, Luo Xiu tasted the sweetness. He had become a desert merchant. Of course, this was only his secondary profession. His original profession was also a swindler. Even the lines he said when he was a beggar had been exaggerated.
"It's been two days and this bastard still hasn't woken up?”Luo Xiu randomly applied the medicine to Ye Qiu's wound and glared at Ye Qiu."If you still don't wake up, I won't care about you anymore. I'm a person who does big things. I'm very busy!”。
When Luo Xiu thought of the profits in the desert, he was tempted. If it wasn't for Ye Qiu's unconsciousness, he would have gone to make a fortune long ago. However, his patience was limited. He decided to guard Ye Qiu for another two days. After all, he had cheated Ye Qiu of a thousand gold coins.
On the tenth day, Roxiu was finally unwilling to wait any longer. His face was filled with resentment, and he brought the necessary items in the desert as usual. He put on a red robe that he thought was very auspicious. After complaining in front of Ye Qiu's bed for nearly an hour, he fiercely took out five gold coins and threw them on the table.
"Brat, Uncle Luo has already done his best. I've already used the thousand gold coins I cheated you to buy medicine for you. The last five gold coins are what I lent you.”Roxiu looked at the five gold coins with resentment. After hesitating for a moment, he put away three of the remaining five gold coins on the table and muttered,"I'll give you two. Five gold coins is too much. You won't be able to spend it all, right? Err... Maybe you only need one gold coin, sigh... Forget it, who asked me to be a kind person.”。
Luo Xiu sniffed a few mouthfuls of snot. His reluctant gaze swept across the small black room. He didn't know how long it would take for him to return, and his life might even be in danger. He wanted to remember everything about this room. After all, he had lived here for decades. Every time he went out, he would take a few more glances. This had become a habit. This was not only nostalgia, but also common sense that a swindler must have in a swindler's diary…Fortification. In order to prevent thieves from entering his lair, Roxiu had put in a lot of effort into this house. His possessions were not just the few gold coins on the wall.
After making sure that everything was fine, Luo Xiu turned to the unconscious Ye Qiu on the bed and pulled him up. He completely ignored the blood that was seeping out of his torn wound and placed Ye Qiu on his shoulder, preparing to leave. Just now, Luo Xiu had dispelled the urge to let Ye Qiu stay in his lair. He was a liar. He warned himself…Liars couldn't have compassion. Even if there was just a little bit, it would be unprecedented.
"Let... Let me…Come down... Female…Butcher, damn liar!"
Luo Xiu's hands froze for a moment. A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes. This bastard had finally woken up.
Luo Xiu didn't care about a patient's feelings at all. He roughly threw Ye Qiu back onto the small bed.
"I... How long had he been unconscious? Liar?" Ye Qiu's voice was a little weak. He frowned as he looked at the body that Luo Xiu had pulled. The pain from there was stimulating Ye Qiu's nerves.
Luo Xiu awkwardly scratched his head and casually covered Ye Qiu with a tattered blanket. He said without blushing,"Please call me a merchant. The things in the desert are expensive. We are... Mutually beneficial! Righteous! Out of the pity that a businessman should have, I took care of you meticulously during the ten days you were unconscious. I should also receive compensation. I must receive compensation. Just the money I spent to buy medicine for you almost made me bankrupt!”。
"Ten days?" Ye Qiu was slightly taken aback. He shook his head with a bitter smile."That woman is really ruthless! I'm hungry."
"It's not that I can't eat." Luo Xiu dug out a piece of inferior paper from somewhere and picked up the charcoal roll on the ground. He wrote it down as he said,"" Although this isn't the Kaimu Desert, it's still quite expensive to have a meal here. A steamed bun costs five gold coins, a bowl of rice costs ten gold coins, plus 15 vegetables, plus 30 meat. There are big and small chicken drumsticks, 30 for big ones, and 20 for small ones. Beef is cheaper, only 50…"
"Can you give me some water first…" A trace of black gas slowly surged out of his forehead. Ye Qiu rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Ten gold coins for a bowl…" Luo Xiu quickly wrote it down on a piece of paper and looked at Ye Qiu again.
“.. Just pretend that I'm not awake yet!" Ye Qiu struggled to wrap up the tattered blanket. He turned his head to the side and said in a cold voice,"Other than a pair of tattered pants, I have nothing…There are still three coppers in your underpants. Take them yourself!”。
"Enough…I'll make an exception and let you have a meal for three coppers…Do you know how to make an exception?" Luo Xiu reached into Ye Qiu's pants and fished around, his face filled with pride.
“..”Ye Qiu.
