The bustling city of Xia Capital was a little mesmerizing. The cries of hawkers on the roadside attracted the attention of others all the time.
Chu Mu brought his two younger sisters along as they strolled around. They bought a few candied haws on the street and handed them to Chu Qingque and Chu Luoyi.
"Thank you, Big Pot!"
Chu Qingque happily thanked Chu Mu loudly, while Chu Luoyi took it in embarrassment and thanked him softly.
"Everyone, please do me a favor!"
Walking along the street, he saw a little beggar kneeling on the street. His clothes were ragged and dirty, but his eyes were unusually bright under the illumination of the surrounding lights.
The surrounding vendors did not seem to want to be tainted by this bad luck. They kept a distance from this child beggar and cleared a large area around him.
Seeing this, Chu Luoyi frowned slightly. Then, she began to rummage through the small money pouch she had brought with her and took out a banknote.
Chu Mu stood at the side and glanced at him helplessly.
Good fellow!
A banknote worth one thousand taels?
He stopped the restless Chu Luoyi and said to his sister,""Do you know what one thousand taels of silver can do?”
Without waiting for Chu Luoyi to speak, Chu Mu continued,"Other than the Imperial City, there are a total of 372 markets in the entire Xia Capital. These markets are divided into three grades according to the evaluation of various resources, high, middle, and low.”
Chu Luoyi's eyes were still filled with confusion.
Seeing this, Chu Mu smiled and continued,""Do you know how much money an ordinary family with two laborers can earn every year?”
"Less than fifty taels!"
Chu Mu's self-questioning and self-answering made Chu Luoyi somewhat absent-minded.
"The average price of a courtyard in a low-grade market in the Xia Capital is about 1,000 taels of silver. In other words, even if they don't eat or drink, it will take them 20 years to buy the most ordinary courtyard. If this time continues to be extended, they might not be able to afford it in their lifetime.”
"So do you understand?"
He looked at the girl who was lost in thought and asked.
The girl in white suddenly took a deep breath and said,""In other words, I'm not doing good, but…"
"That's right, let him become rich overnight!"
Chu Mu smiled and patted Chu Luoyi's head,"Not bad, your reaction is very fast. You're indeed as smart as big brother.”
"Big brother!"
Chu Luoyi was a little embarrassed as she removed Chu Mu's hand from her head.
Chu Mu looked at Chu Luoyi with disappointment and said,""She actually hates Big Brother. When she was young, she was clearly even more clingy to Big Brother than Green Sparrow.”
"Big Pot, don't be afraid. Green Sparrow will always like Big Brother!”
Chu Qingque, who was lying on Chu Mu's head, quickly said.
Oh?
Chu Mu's eyes immediately lit up. He carried Chu Qingque down from his shoulder and kissed the little fellow's face. He smiled and said,""As expected, my green sparrow is the best. It knows how to dote on Big Brother!”
"Hehe!"
The little guy smiled brightly along with Chu Mu.
Chu Luoyi looked at this scene helplessly. A hint of envy flashed in her eyes.
However, people would eventually grow up. After they grew up, there were many things that they could not do. This was something that could not be helped.
However, after hearing Chu Mu's words, Chu Luoyi's heart was as clear as a mirror. She turned to Yu Huatian and said,"Give me some money."
Yu Huatian was the one who had paid for the things he had bought just now.
Yu Huatian took out a few copper coins from his purse and handed them to Chu Luoyi.
Chu Luoyi looked at Yu Huatian in surprise. Even if he gave her less, it couldn't be just a few copper coins, right?
Yu Huatian calmly said to Chu Luoyi,"Your Highness, giving these child beggars too much money will be troublesome for them. He doesn't look like someone who can keep this money.”
"If he was backed by a beggar organization, the money wouldn't have fallen into his hands. If he was alone, it would have been easy for other beggars to snatch it away after we left.”
Chu Luoyi was stunned. This was a situation that she had not expected at all.
Chu Mu hugged Chu Qingque and laughed as he casually glanced at Chu Luoyi. He smiled and shook his head before continuing to tease his little sister.
Luo Yi?
I wonder if that plan will work.
Chu Mu was deep in thought.
Chu Luoyi understood Yu Huatian's words and nodded. She then took the copper coins and placed them in the broken bowl in front of the child beggar.
As she got closer, Chu Luoyi realized that there were many wounds on the child beggar's body. However, these wounds had already scabbed over. After she placed the copper coin into the bowl, the little child beggar thanked her in a weak voice.
Seeing this, Chu Luoyi's heart skipped a beat and she pursed her lips.
At the same time, the child beggar raised his head and looked at the beautiful young girl in front of him with a flash of envy in his eyes. Very soon, his gaze noticed Chu Mu and the others standing not far behind him, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
Just as Chu Luoyi was about to turn around and leave, the child beggar suddenly clenched his teeth and hugged Chu Luoyi's leg.
Chu Luoyi turned around in shock.
The child beggar's face was filled with fear and panic. His eyes were looking around in panic as he begged in a desperate voice.
"Save me, please save me!”
Not far away, Chu Mu noticed this scene. He frowned and carried Chu Qingque as he slowly walked over.
Yu Huatian cast a few obscure glances at his surroundings before hurriedly following behind.
Chu Mu walked closer and looked at the scene before him. When he saw the child beggar holding Chu Luoyi's leg, his eyes flashed with killing intent. He asked in a deep voice,"What happened?"
Chu Luoyi shook her head in confusion.
When the child beggar saw Chu Mu walking over, he understood that this was the true master. He immediately let go of Chu Luoyi and kowtowed heavily to Chu Mu.
The child beggar's tears flowed anxiously."Sir, please save me!"
The killing intent in Chu Mu's eyes gradually dissipated when he heard this. He had originally thought that this child beggar was climbing up the ladder!
He glanced at the child beggar and said,""Tell me…"
Before Chu Mu's voice had even faded, a fierce-looking man suddenly rushed out from the side, smiling apologetically as he walked towards the beggar's frightened gaze.
"I'm sorry, gentlemen. This useless trash has disturbed you. I'll take him away immediately!”
After saying that, he immediately walked towards the child beggar with a fierce look in his eyes.
The child beggar curled up into a ball in the corner, his face filled with despair.
At this moment, an arm suddenly stopped in front of him.
He raised his head and saw the expressionless Yu Huatian looking at him calmly. He then continued to look at Chu Mu's half-smiling expression.
"You're the first person who dares to interrupt me!”
Chu Mu's light voice entered his ears and made him feel a chill.
