Chapter 8 Listening to the Song

Just as Li Xun arrived at the gate of the Nightmare Warrior and was about to cross the threshold and enter, an old man at the gate lay there and glanced at Li Xun, and his eyes lit up: "Hey, boy Li Xun, his life is hard enough. He can withstand this first encounter, at least he has more guarantees for his life!"

Li Xun maintained enough respect for this old gatekeeper and hurriedly said, "Mr. Qin, you are a fool. This incident is really a life-and-death death. When I think about it now, my calves are soft!"

Uncle Qin stared at Li Xun with a smile and said, "Don't wet your pants!"

Li Xun curled his lips and said, "Only those without eggs can make you pee your pants in fear!"

Mr. Qin laughed and said, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive. Go and hand in the mission. After receiving the reward, go and relax. Night watchman. It's not easy to be alive!"

Li Xun bowed to Uncle Qin and strode into the night guard yamen.

When he arrived at the recording room, Li Xun briefly explained his experiences. The clerk in the recording room recorded the documents and archived them. Then he took the stamped document and went to the warehouse to collect the silver reward.

This time, Li Xun received a total of thirty taels of silver. You should know that the people in this city, a family of four, have a normal monthly expense of at most two or three taels. The thirty taels of silver are almost enough for a small family to spend a year on their life.

Most of the night watchmen live in the big shops of the Night Watchmen. In fact, based on the income of the Night Watchmen, they are fully capable of renting or buying real estate in the city.

Who made the night watcher mortality rate too high? For newcomers, being able to survive this first year is considered to have a certain ability to save their lives. If they consider moving out, they will not make the property they bought suddenly become a homeless thing one day.

Although it is a large shop, there are actually more than a dozen spacious large houses. On average, one room is only three or two.

If a colleague in the same house is not lucky and loses his life after receiving the task, it is not uncommon to live alone in a big house, and it can even be said to be quite common.

Room No. 3 of A is exactly where Li Xun is currently living in the Night Watch Office. When he was assigned first, there were four people in this room, but now there are only three people left.

In addition to Li Xun, there are also Zheng Youbang, a rich family, and Mao Yiding, a beggar.

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and a figure was lying on the table and carefully wiping a few pieces of scattered silver. It seemed that he saw Li Xun coming in, and quickly put the silver away as if he was holding it away, but it was Zheng Youwen.

Although Zheng Youwen is a rich child, he has an extraordinary obsession with money and things. It is said that there is no need for a rich child like Zheng Youwen to be a night watcher. After all, everyone knows that the night watcher is almost dead in the early stage, and there are only a few who can survive and become a strong man in one area.

A kind smile appeared on his fleshy face, and Zheng Youwen said with a little joy: "It's great to see Brother Li Xun."

After sitting down, Li Xun grabbed the teapot and gusted it hard, then wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth and looked at Zheng Youwen, "Everyone is happy."

As he said that, Li Xun looked at Mao Yiding's shop and said, "Brother Xiao Mao hasn't come back yet?"

Mao Yiding was only sixteen years old, just enough to recruit people at the Night Watch. Among the few people, Mao Yiding was the youngest. In addition, Mao Yiding was thin and looked like a half-aged child. Even among the beggars, he was still bullied. After eating the whole meal, he gritted his teeth and entered the Night Watch.

Zheng Youwen shook his head and said, "I heard that Xiao Mao was going to send an old man back to his hometown. Maybe the journey was a little longer. If everything went well, it would be time for him to come back today."

As he said that, Zheng Youwen said to Li Xun: "I just received the silver reward. Why don't we brothers go to Chunyu Tower to listen to the song?"

Li Xun grinned and said, "Are you just listening to the little song?"

Zheng Youwen handed a look that men knew about Li Xun, but he smiled and said seriously: "Of course I'm just listening to the song. Brother Li, what else do you want?"

Li Xun almost threw the teapot in his hand on Zheng Youwen's head. I believe you, I just listened to Zheng Youwen's nonsense before and followed him to Chunyulou to listen to the song.

Poor Li Xun's money was taken away by Zheng Youwen. He also listened to the song. He paid to listen to the song that the little lady in Zheng You's study sang softly all night, but you're so fucked us to find a little lady with musician skills.

After waving his hand, Li Xun shook his head repeatedly and said, "If you don't go, don't go, I don't have enough money for you to listen to the song twice in Chunyu Tower."

Zheng Youwen came up and said, "This time, brother, I'll invite you to listen to the song."

While he was talking, a muffled groan came from outside the door. Li Xun and Zheng Youwen suddenly looked up and saw Mao Xiaoding, who was covered in ragged chest and walked in.

"Little Mao!"

"Brother Mao!"

Seeing this, the two of them quickly supported Mao Xiaoding and let him sit down. A faint smell of blood came towards them.

Li Xun's eyes fell on Mao Xiaoding's chest, and a bandage wrapped around a thick circle, with faint traces of blood. Needless to say, this was injured.

"Xiao Mao, you are..."

Mao Xiaoding, though he was young, grew up in the pile of beggars since he was a child, and he had his own way of dealing with people early on. He first thanked the two of them, and then said with a little fear: "If I hadn't prepared a full kettle of cockscomb blood, I would have been almost eaten by the old guy this time, and I was caught by the old guy a few times. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to finally come back in a hurry!"

Just look at Mao Xiaoding's embarrassed look. Although he said it simply, a fool can imagine the danger.

Zheng Youwen stared at Mao Xiaoding with his eyes wide open and said, "Are you having an evil person?"

Mao Xiaoding nodded.

Li Xun said on the side: "I said I received the silver reward last time, why did you go and buy so many big roosters? Their feelings are collecting blood from cockscombs!"

Mao Xiaoding said with a little pride: "We are hanging out in the pile of beggars. I have heard people mention that cockscomb blood is the most yang thing. Although it is not very threatening to some evil spirits who have a little Taoism, it is useless, and it is better to be without any preparation. If I hadn't prepared cockscomb blood in advance this time, I would have really not come back."

After hearing Mao Xiaoding say this, Li Xun couldn't help feeling ashamed. After all, he was used to being at peace in the atmosphere of a modern peaceful society. Even if he traveled through time to know the dangers of this world, he could not be like Mao Xiaoding.

Thinking of this, Li Xun secretly warned himself that if he could not change his mentality, even if he had a weird tattoo and cheat, he might not be able to survive a cautious person like Mao Xiaoding.

Zheng Youwen's focus was obviously different, and he saw Zheng Youwen looking at Mao Xiaoding with an excited look and said, "Brother Mao, tell me quickly, is that evil corpse powerful? Since you have survived, I think it must have absorbed the evil corpse's evil origin, how much cultivation has you improved?"

Mao Xiaoding did not exaggerate, but told it in a realistic manner: "That evil corpse is just an ordinary evil corpse. If it is really a little more powerful, my cockscomb blood may not be useful, so I will only increase my cultivation for more than half a year."
