Chapter 003 Windfall

"That's mine!" Although Huo Lei was shorter than the other party, he was extremely brave. He rushed to the other side, and two and a half-year-old children were rushing to grab the copper coin.

"Hey! OK! Good! Fight this side, beat that side!" The fat young master was so happy that he actually watched the two little beggars twist into a ball and shouted.

"I picked it up!" The little beggar with bad teeth suddenly pulled Huole to the ground, pressing him easily under him.

"I asked for it! I'll give it back!" Huo Lei struggled desperately, yelling in anger.

I don’t know if Huo Lei resisted too violently or if the bad-toothed boy knew that he was in the wrong, Huo Lei quickly broke free from the bad-toothed beggar. The two of them chased each other and turned around the fat young master.

"Ouch!" The fat young master who was evasive and chasing the two children was retreating continuously. He was tripping and fell to the ground for some reason. He groaned for a long time before getting up. He looked at the two little beggars and had already chased and ran away: "These two little bastards, oh, I fell to death..."

Huo Lei burst into the left and then penetrated in the crowd, running like a rabbit.

Apart from the royal palace in the West District, there is no place he is not familiar with in Gaia City. Every street intersection and every alley is as clear as counting how many fingers he has.

After running for several blocks, Huolei turned into an alley and slowed down after a long time.

The alley is a dead end. Standing under the low retaining wall is the little beggar who is competing for copper coins with Huo Lei. At this moment, he is also out of breath, obviously running all the way.

The two met and laughed at the same time. Two dimples appeared on Huo Lei's face, while the other party showed his signature bad teeth.

"How is it, Johnny, no one is following you?" Horay and the little beggar named Johnny squatted down together. The situation at the entrance of the alley was clear at a glance. Anyone who walked in would be discovered by them as soon as possible.

"How is that possible!" Bad Teeth Johnny patted his chest, which was still undulating: "I ran faster than you! Look, it's not right before you!"

"You must have been directly inserted along Holland Avenue in the North District, right?" Horay slapped Johnny in the head: "I have said a long time ago that we must be detoured on the road for a while. If we are caught once, we will lose several months of income!"

"I know, I know!" Johnny shook his head and agreed, and hurriedly took out a brown leather bundle pocket from his arms, held it in his hand and shook it. Suddenly, a crisp jingle sound came from his pocket: "Horley, come and see how this pack is."

Horay took out a black cloth from his arms and spread it on the ground. Johnny pulled the belt of his pocket and poured it down. There was a loud noise, and a golden light reflected the two surprised little faces.

"Good!" Johnny slammed his mouth and sniffed a few sips. I don't know if it was air conditioning or saliva: "What a big fish, Huolei, look, it's all gold coins, there's not even a silver coins!"

Horay and Johnny simply counted, and there were twenty.

Customized by the Herrantis Empire, one gold coin exchanges ten silver coins, and one silver coin exchanges one hundred copper coins.

The minimum monthly fixed cost for an ordinary family in the imperial capital Gaia is only eight or nine hundred copper coins, but now there are gold coins equivalent to 20,000 copper coins, which is a fortune.

"That fat man is indeed a rich man. He is actually wandering around the streets with so many gold coins." Huo Lei couldn't help but stick out his tongue: "By the way, there's more than that!"

Horay said, reaching his hand to Johnny's face, spreading his palms, and a ring caught Johnny's eyes.

"Huh? Where did it come from?" Johnny reached out to pick up the ring. There was a black gem inlaid on the ring. However, Johnny raised the ring and shook at the sun, but the black gem did not emit any light.

"When the fat man reached out to push me, I pulled it off his hand." Huo Lei looked regretful: "It's a pity that there are two more, and it's too tight. I didn't dare to try harder, and it's too late."

"I've got rich and made a fortune." Johnny stroked the white ring body: "This ring is platinum!"

Platinum is not used as a mint material, but it is several times more valuable than gold.

"Hey, there are words on it!"

"Maybe it's the name of the ring owner." Horay took the ring and looked at it. The inner circle of the ring body was indeed engraved with a line of small words: Victoria.

This is obviously not the name of the fat young master. As for who it belongs, what if it is.

"This ring is not easy to take off. Put it here first. When needed, it will not be too late to melt it before taking action." Horay said, wrapping the black cloth on the ground and the twenty gold coins, carefully tied two knots, and handed it to Johnny. The bundle pocket containing the gold coins was thrown into the garbage dump next to him by Horay. The leather money bag with unique patterns is a time bomb that may be sold at any time and must not be left behind.

Johnny asked while putting the black cloth bag in his arms, "Are you going home with me?"

Huo Lei looked up and saw that it was already ten days old: "I'll go to the southern district again, you can go back first. By the way, I haven't been home for three days. Is Xiao Ai's illness better?"

"I took the medicine you brought back last time, and I was able to cook for everyone yesterday!" Johnny happily cracked his mouth and slapped his rotten teeth: "I have gained so much today. When I go back, I buy a chicken for her to stew. It will definitely be cured soon!"

"That's good." Horay nodded, and stood up while putting the ring into the small bag he took off. Johnny lifted a piece of broken felt cloth by the wall, and a dark dog hole exposed from behind the broken felt cloth.

"Do you go directly to the South District from Holland Avenue?" Johnny first stuffed his foot into the dog hole, moved his body twice, leaving only his head exposed.

"Don't worry about me, I'll go back before supper." Horay picked up the broken felt cloth, and covered it with the broken felt cloth before Johnny's head was completely retracted into the dog hole.

"I'll leave you a chicken leg and come back early!" The sound from Johnny was muffled through the felt cloth, but there was no sound soon. Horay stuffed the small bag with the ring into his arms and walked outside the alley.

Holland Avenue is the only main road facing north and south in Gaia.

There are three east-west avenues in Gaia City, counting from north to south, namely Temple Avenue, Sunshine Avenue, and Airport Avenue. The north-south transportation hub connecting the three roads is Helan Avenue.

Holland Avenue is 100 meters wide, and eight carriages can be arranged side by side on both roads to the south and north. There are tall beard trees planted on both sides of the avenue, which are a kind of trees with straight trunks and huge crowns. Although the width of Holland Avenue is nearly 100 meters, most of the road surfaces are shaded under the shade of beard trees on both sides. This is a very considerate benefit for people who have to travel under the scorching sun at noon.

Horay turned into Helan Avenue from a small trail and walked towards the south along the pedestrian road. As Horay walked, he was planning his income this month. It was only a few days before the day of paying the money at the end of the month. Although the agreed amount had been collected, it seemed that there was still not much balance this month...

Thinking of this, Huo Lei couldn't help scratching his head irritably.

There seemed to be a commotion ahead. The pedestrians on the road were asking each other and walking quickly forward. Horay retracted his mind and looked forward. He had reached the intersection of Helan Avenue and Sun Avenue. People squeezed into the street and formed a thick wall of people. The noise was rising from wave to wave. Finally, a sound of bronze rage that was neatly swept the mountains and rivers suppressed all the other sounds.

It is the horn sound of the emperor's trip!

Huo Lei squeezed into the crowd of onlookers, and with his thin and flexible figure, he quickly occupied the viewing position equivalent to the VIP box.

Huolei has seen several scenes of the emperor traveling or returning to the palace. The team that looks at each other from beginning to end is indeed very pompous, but this is nothing for Huolei. In his previous life, any opening and military parade ceremony was larger than the scale in front of him. Huolei, who often attends as a guest of honor, has long been tired of watching.

Before the emperor's team could come over, he looked west and from a distance. He could see countless flying flags and a canopy of flowers. Huolei murmured to himself, "This emperor is really disturbing the people, and when they walk over, it will be dark."

"Where is your Majesty the Emperor?"

The person who asked about this was obviously a foreigner. Huo Lei glanced at the man. Fortunately, it was not the fat young master who was put on by him this morning.

"I don't know this! At this time of year, His Majesty the Emperor has to go to the North to escape the summer heat, and it will take two months to come back." Someone immediately spoke next to him, his tone filled with contempt for outsiders and the inexplicable sense of superiority unique to the imperial capital.

Huo Lei sneered, "It's not that you go to the deputy capital to escape the summer heat, so why are you so arrogant? But Huo Lei is too lazy to pay attention to him. Even the emperor's travel team Huo Lei is also lacking interest and is a little annoyed that he is blocked from his way. But there is no way. When you break out at this time, the patrol teams that have been separated from both sides of the Sun Avenue will immediately invite you into a place you will never want to go in."
