Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 223 Qian Lao's Thoughts

As they got closer to Tongzhou Wharf, the gentle evening breeze began to carry a faint smell of river water. Daiyu knew that they were not far from their destination.

She booked a room in the largest inn at Tongzhou Wharf. After locking the door, Daiyu jumped out of the window and ran straight to the nearby slums.

Although the map provided by Huang Yongjin is abstract, it is not difficult to find.

Daiyu shuttled through the mud houses, turning left and right, and jumping onto the mud wall from time to time to identify the direction. Otherwise, it would be very easy to get lost in this maze-like place.

Turning a corner, Daiyu carefully avoided the puddles on the ground and began to look at the thatched cottage in front of her.

The thatched cottage was inconspicuous, surrounded by a bamboo fence. There were a few bamboo benches at the door, and the ground was very clean, in stark contrast to the muddy path outside.

It can be seen that the mother and son living here are not hopeless.

In order to make sure she had not found the wrong person, Daiyu went into the house to confirm and found that they were indeed Qian's former wife and children.

Daiyu looked at the furnishings in the adobe house: the small room was divided into two parts by a linen curtain. The older woman slept on the kang on the inner side, while the younger man slept on the bamboo bed in front of the door.

Fortunately, the weather was not particularly hot at that time, otherwise the young man would have been shirtless.

Fortunately, Daiyu could not feel any karma from these two people.

This made her sure that what Qian Lao said before was true. Otherwise, the aura of the two people in front of her would definitely make people feel uncomfortable, just like Qian Lao.

Seeing that there was little food left in the bag beside the woman, Daiyu hesitated for a moment, and finally put a small silver coin in the chicken coop beside the bamboo bed.

In this way, she could ensure that the mother and child would not go hungry before her people arrived.

Daiyu closed the wooden door and without even using any martial arts skills, she jumped over the fence and stepped onto the path.

In contrast, the muddy path outside was a bit hard to accept.

Daiyu no longer hesitated and jumped directly onto the nearest thatched roof. She quickly returned to the inn, took Zhuiyun with her, and disappeared into the night.

She didn't want to cause so much trouble, but she was worried that if she left Zhuiyun in the wild, he would be taken away by someone.

When Daiyu returned to the capital city, it was still more than an hour before dawn.

She thought that since she was already out, she might as well take care of Mr. Qian's affairs as well, so as to avoid having to make another trip to South City in the future.

In recent nights, Daiyu has been busy completing bounty missions from the Six Ministries and the Five Cities Army.

The mission rewards are also very encouraging, and Daiyu's points are about to break through the 50,000 point mark.

This made her, a child who had never been rich, suddenly experience the joy of becoming rich.

Although the reward was tempting, Daiyu still hesitated to join the Jinyiwei Yamen.

There was no other reason. Influenced by previous TV dramas, she always felt that the Jinyiwei Yamen was a place more dangerous than the imperial palace.

Therefore, on the panel of 111, there are two exclamation marks, one red and one purple, in the area where the Jinyiwei are located.

[Host, are you really not going to accept the bounty mission?] 111 asked tentatively.

It also noticed that Daiyu seemed to be in a good mood tonight, so it dared to speak rashly and tried to test her frantically within the acceptable range.

[Don't even think about it!] Daiyu refused three times without hesitation, [Going to other places is to earn points, but going to Jinyiwei is risking my life, I won't go! Don't even think about it in this life!]

After that, she quickly muted 111 again, leaving 111 suspicious: another wrong prediction...

Although Daiyu spoke firmly, she would definitely not really give up this big piece of fat meat.

She would go and find out one day, but she was in no hurry, especially not to the headquarters of an agency that excelled in intelligence.

The environment of Qian Lao's thatched hut was similar to that of his wife and children. If Daiyu had not seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to imagine that there would be such a place in the southern part of the outer city in the prosperous Shenjing City.

However, if Mr. Qian did not take the initiative to drive these two people out, their lives might become even more difficult.

Just like the families living next door to Mr. Qian, they were inevitably contaminated by some bad luck because they were influenced by Mr. Qian’s karma for a long time.

However, they are not blank slates, so Daiyu naturally would not be so kind as to think of reminding them.

Since she last met Mr. Qian, Daiyu has gone to Nanny Wang to exchange a lot of copper coins.

At this time, she took out a copper coin and hit it on the wood supporting the straw shed, making a dull sound.

Every few seconds, Daiyu threw a copper coin like this, without any hurry at all. Gradually, more than a dozen copper coins were scattered on the ground.

Finally, the copper coin hit the wood and fell to the ground, making another crisp sound. Soon, rustling sounds were heard in the straw hut.

Old Qian lifted the door curtain and saw more than twenty copper coins on the ground. The corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.

He didn't even bother to look up at the person who was coming, and pounced directly on the copper coins, not minding at all that there was a lot of dirt on them.

"I say," Daiyu lowered her voice to remind Mr. Qian of her existence, "I can agree to your request."

Hearing this voice, Qian Lao raised his head. He could not see the face of the person coming, but by looking at the other person's fortune, he recognized that this person was Daiyu.

"Hehe, I knew you would agree to me!" He stuffed the copper coins and mud into his waist pocket.

Because the pocket has been washed so many times, some parts have become very worn out. If it is washed a few more times, it may fall apart completely.

Old Qian's hand unconsciously stroked a small flower on his pocket, and he smiled, revealing his yellow teeth: "I hope your people can take care of me for a while longer. When this straw hut is gone, I don't need to come here anymore."

Daiyu nodded slightly and threw a set of prepared writing brushes and ink in front of Mr. Qian: "In that case, you can write it down."

"Hey, hey." Old Qian didn't seem to worry at all that Daiyu would go back on her word. He happily picked up his bag and went into the straw hut.

After a while, he came out with a few sheets of paper. "I have drawn the locations, types and detailed maps of these minerals for you. As for whether you can mine them, it depends on your ability."

Daiyu glanced at it casually, folded the paper, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and put it into her sleeve.

"It's okay, it's just a small matter."

"But it's a big deal for me, it's worth such a reward!"

"Since I promised, I won't break my promise."

After receiving Daiyu's affirmative answer, Qian Lao showed a relieved smile on his face. He nodded to Daiyu, then turned around and slowly walked back to the straw hut.

Before leaving, Daiyu looked towards the east.

The sky in the distance has begun to turn pale, and it seems that dawn is not far away.
