It was June, and the sun hung in the blue sky like a fireball. It was orange and there were no clouds at all. It was as if it had been burned by the sun and disappeared without a trace.

Xie Yu was lying on the sink in the public toilet, vomiting all over. The few uncles beside him looked at him in disgust, covered their noses, and walked away while cursing.

In the eyes of others, a bus might be a convenient means of transportation, but in Xie Yu's eyes, a bus was the world's most terrifying demon, the fastest vomit machine.

Thinking of the scene of people squeezing in the car, the mixed smell of perfume, cigarettes, and gasoline, Xie Yu vomited again. He even vomited yellow bile!

He took some tap water and splashed it on his face. After rinsing his mouth, he staggered out and sat on a stone chair in the park. After taking the bus for half a day, Xie Yu looked at the unfamiliar park in front of him and fell into a daze.

Chishui Ancient Town was located in Xishui City. At the edge of Xi City, it was built along the river. The south bank was a village, while the north bank was an urban area. All of them were arcade-style buildings. Compared to other old streets, it was a huge cluster of western-style buildings.

There was also an ancient taste of Chinese and Western. Due to the frequent visits of foreign tourists to take photos and travel, the Red Water Ancient Town was a very famous town.

After resting for a few hours, Xie Yu left the park and was walking on a small road called 'Second Road' in the ancient town! He raised his head and looked at the blazing sun. The bright light pierced his eyes and almost made him unable to open them.

He narrowed his eyes and quickly reached out his hand to cover it."It's only the beginning of June. Why is it so f * cking hot? It seemed that the news was true. The greenhouse effect on Earth was getting more and more serious!”

Looking at the endless stream of cars on the street, he was surprised to find that there were still many people on the street on such a hot day. Among them were foreigners of different skin colors.

Some of them were wearing sunglasses and carrying cameras and bags. They were probably tourists. Some of them were empty-handed and had nothing. They were probably locals. Because the weather was too hot, the pedestrians were dressed very coolly.

Most of the girls wore short sleeves and shorts, or singlets, dresses, or miniskirt. Some of them wore slippers and cute straw hats, while others wore sneakers and pink umbrellas. Under the sunlight, her fair arms and beautiful legs were completely exposed, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

As for the men who were peeking at the girls, they weren't that particular. They didn't have umbrellas or hats. They were basically wearing short-sleeved shirts and pants. Some of them were even in suits and leather shoes. They were probably either salesmen or insurance sellers.

Xie Yu broke out in a cold sweat for them. How much perseverance did they need? Aren't you afraid of getting a heatstroke?

"It's so f * cking hot…" Anyway, he was about to get a heatstroke.

Xie Yu cursed, his back drenched in sweat. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and felt that his clothes and shoes were drenched in sweat. At this moment, he felt that he was an adventurer who survived in the desert. Every step he took was so difficult!

Two delicate and pretty figures flashed past Xie Yu's eyes. His eyes lit up and he turned his head to take a look. What entered his eyes were two little girls wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts. Their slender hands and slender sexy calves were exposed. Their fair and flawless skin had a faint blush. It was undoubtedly stimulating his eyes.

They shared an umbrella, like twins, and walked in a cute cross-step. Her round buttocks, which were swaying left and right, could not stop at all. Her gaze followed their movements.

Xie Yu looked like a pig and was dumbfounded. His mouth was dry as he watched."Rumor has it that this Chishui Ancient Town is full of beautiful women. It's one of the top three tourist towns in the country. It really lives up to its reputation.”

After watching the two beauties walk away, Xie Yu came back to his senses. I hope I made the right choice to work here. After all, the salary in a big city should be very high.'He sighed in his heart.

Licking his dry tongue, he decided to buy a bottle of water to quench his thirst.

Walking along the street, there were all kinds of tall and large shops on both sides of the street. The two-meter-tall door and the magnificent reception hall were very majestic and no one dared to set foot in them.

He turned to look at the window and saw the magnificent dining hall. People in suits were eating exquisite snacks. It was obvious that they could not afford it.

Xie Yu licked his lips and began to turn left and right. He walked through the small path and entered the alley. Only then did he find a relatively small shop. The shop was only about 35 square meters, and the decoration was simple and clean. At this moment, a fat figure was lying on a chair and watching television.

Xie Yu thought to himself,'This kind of small shop should be affordable, right?'

"Lady Boss, a bottle of water, please.”Xie Yu licked his dry lips.

"Ice water is 15 yuan, room temperature is 10 yuan, no bargaining.”The boss said without even looking at it. His eyes never left the display screen.

"A bottle of water is actually sold for 10 yuan, and it's still warm?”"Why don't you rob them?" Xie Yu was shocked.”

Wasn't this clearly a robbery? He remembered that his village only sold it for 1.5 yuan, and it was still cold!

Hearing the exclamation, the lady boss turned around.

He carefully sized up the young man in front of him. His hair was messy, and he was wearing a faded shirt and washed white jeans. His white casual shoes were covered in dust…At this moment, she was nodding as she looked at it, with an expression of 'I knew it'.

"Hmph, country bumpkin, take it or leave it!”

"Aren't you afraid of losing business by treating customers like this?”Xie Yu clenched his fists tightly. He was furious. How could business be like this? Didn't the online news say that the customer was God?

"Tsk tsk, my business is very good. I can't even get enough water to freeze it. Go, go, go!" The Lady Boss waved her hand as if she was chasing away a beggar, her face full of disdain.

Xie Yu took a closer look. Sure enough, he found that the few fridges next to him were full. There was a lot of mineral water on the ground outside the fridges.

He counted carefully. There were thousands of bottles. It seemed that he did not have time to put ice in them.

He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he unwillingly let go of his fist and sighed."Give me a warm bottle…"

If he hadn't vomited all his yellow gall, if he hadn't been unfamiliar with the place and didn't know how far he would have to go before he could find a second small shop, Xie Yu felt that he would never help that fat woman's business even if he was beaten to death.

He rummaged through his right pocket, took out 45 yuan, looked at it, and put it back. He didn't know how many times he had repeated this action.

"Sigh, this is bad. I was in a hurry when I left and forgot that I only had 100 yuan in my pocket.”Thinking of the lady boss's smug expression just now, he was filled with anger.

That store called Tongda Grocery was really hateful. Thinking of that fat woman, Xie Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred.

"After buying a bottle of water, I only have 45 yuan left. How am I going to live now?”After walking a few more streets, Xie Yu wiped the sweat off his body and licked his dry tongue. He raised his left hand and looked at the half-filled bottle of mineral water. It's only afternoon now. If I drink it now, it won't be enough later."

She thought that if she went to the store to ask for water, she would definitely not be able to bring herself to do so. She could not bear to buy another bottle. He shook his head helplessly and didn't drink it.

'I have to continue working hard and find a job. Otherwise, this won't work.'Xie Yu made up his mind, nodded, and walked forward.

As he walked, he suddenly felt refreshed. He turned his head and saw that it was a big restaurant called Magic Restaurant.

At this moment, a guest just happened to leave. The three-meter-tall automatic door swung open, and the cold wind that flashed past the door blew at him. Xie Yu could still feel the chill. He wondered how many air-conditioning units were on inside.

At this moment, he wished he could get in immediately and drink a big glass of sweet cold drink under the blowing air conditioner. However, he felt ashamed. After touching the 45 yuan in his pocket, he immediately threw this beautiful thought out of the clouds.

Such a big hotel that had all kinds of food, drink, and entertainment would definitely cost a staggering price for a glass of water. Just by looking at the luxurious door that was more than three meters in length and width, and the two huge lion statues at the door, he knew that he could not enter!

Suddenly, a big red recruitment sign at the corner of the door attracted Xie Yu's attention.

Our shop is looking for many magicians, with a base salary of 20,000 yuan, food and accommodation (option), bonuses, commissions, and tips. Welcome all magicians!

These few words highlighted the domineering nature of her words. Xie Yu knew that his cousin was a white-collar worker. Her salary was only 5000 yuan, and it did not include food and accommodation.

Was this how the restaurant earned money? Was it because it tasted good or because there were many people watching magic and it was very popular?

Although he was curious, Xie Yu knew that he would not be able to get such a good treatment. Putting aside whether he knew magic or not, he would not be accepted when he thought of his unsociable personality.

Have you ever seen an otaku talking and laughing? Speaking of this, Xie Yu also blushed. He knew that he would stutter when he was nervous! However, he did not expect it to be so serious.

Earlier, he had already gone to a shop that sold cell phones for recruitment. He finally mustered up his courage and called out to the male manager. After spending more than 20 seconds, he finally said," I'm here to recruit." As the manager apologized and rejected him, and the two young female shop assistants laughed softly, Xie Yu left with a red face like an apple!

"Sigh... Let's take it one step at a time." Xie Yu sighed and continued to walk forward. The weather was extremely hot, as if the longer he walked, the hotter it became.

After asking a few more companies about the jobs he felt he could do, Xie Yu gave up. He pressed his hands on his knees and panted heavily. He bent over and fanned himself with a flyer that had drifted out of nowhere in his right hand. At this moment, he felt that even the wind he fanned was hot, like a hairdryer.

He licked his lips that were about to split open. He looked at the half-empty bottle of water in his left hand and gritted his teeth to drink it. Just as he unscrewed the cap and was about to drink it, he suddenly heard a strange cry, as if someone was calling him.
