Chapter Thirty-Six The Poor Will Think Change(1/2)
As Lin Qi got closer to the courtyard he rented, the surrounding buildings became more and more ordinary.
Normally on the busy streets of Qinggu Town, some guards would patrol around from time to time.
Nowadays, let alone the shadows of guards patrolling, except for Lin Qi, most of them are ordinary people, not even a shadow of a warrior.
"Is your lack of spiritual energy this bad?" Lin Qi, riding on a black horse, murmured in his heart as he looked at the people coming and going.
It seems that the attraction of this area to warriors has dropped to freezing point.
But that's fine, Lin Qi doesn't have to worry about being attacked by others that night.
Moreover, for Lin Qi, whether he has more spiritual energy or less, his sincerity has little impact.
Wherever there is sunshine, Lin Qi feels satisfied.
"I have to find a way to make a little money, but sooner or later I will be left with nothing." Lin Qi thought about the little money left in his pocket and said with a bitter expression.
Prices in Qing Ancient Town are also too high.
Renting a villa for a month costs one gold coin and fifty silver coins.
The four gold coins and some scraps of money previously looted from Nie Yuan were spent and spent, leaving only two gold coins and fifty silver coins.
Moreover, Lin Qi still needs to practice at the Qinggu Martial Arts Field, which requires at least fifteen spiritual stones.
Eleven Lingyuan Pills are worth about six spirit stones, plus the twelve spirit stones itself.
Lin Qi's wealth was full, but he only had eighteen spiritual stones.
"Compared to other institutes, the price of skills and weapons must be sky high." Lin Qi sighed, and now there are only three spiritual stones that can be used.
I don't know if this pitiful amount of spiritual stone is enough.
Lin Qi frowned and thought hard about ways to make money.
Even though the Heavenly Spider's Rebirth Sutra is extremely valuable and is a type of Tianpin Kung Fu, it must not be exposed in Qinggu Town.
Maybe the people from Tianzhutang have traced the area to Qinggu Town.
For safety reasons, it can only be excluded.
Not to mention the Demon Refining Art, there are only two green crystals left.
The pure vitality within it saved the life of Pan Qiuye, who was on the verge of death.
This kind of healing effect should be of great value!
"It really doesn't work, so I have to sell them!" Lin Qi said in a low voice with a little pain in his heart.
To put it bluntly, the green crystal is the vitality left in the four eyes of the Sky Spider.
Moreover, this Sky Spider is a Sky Spider egg that the Master of the Sky Spider Hall spent several years selecting.
Not every sky spider can condense such life force crystals.
It is not easy to sell it now and get it again later.
Every gain must come with a loss, and this kind of thing cannot be avoided.
Just when Lin Qi was worrying about making money, a bit of gossip caught his attention.
In a teahouse not far away, two men in green shirts were talking:
"Two days ago, Wang Sui was chased down the street by Lao Li next door with a kitchen knife. The neighbors were all watching the joke. I was wondering, how did Wang Sui offend Li Han? Is this the case?"
"That bastard Wang Sui, you don't know how much trouble he got into on this street just because he was so active!"
"It's just some petty theft, and it's over with a beating. As for grabbing a kitchen knife and chasing Wang Sui to chop it?"
"Wang Sui caused a lot of trouble this time. I heard that he stole the old Li family's ancestral jade pendant and pawned it for money. I don't know if it's true or not..."
"So that's it. No wonder Li Han went crazy. I was in a hurry to go to the shop to strike iron and didn't catch up to see. Was Wang Sui killed later?"
"It's funny to say that when Wang Sui saw Li Han holding a knife, he immediately panicked and ran away in a hurry. As a result, he hit a wall and fainted. Li Han was also frightened.
Just left."
"What happened next?"
"Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Han left, Wang Sui stood up with nothing to do, but one night later, he was found dead at home, with his eyes as big as a cow's eyes. It was really scary..."
…
Lin Qi listened to the two people's gossip and didn't pay much attention.
As these gossips spread, their flavor completely changed.
How can a normal person's eyes be as big as a cow's eyes?
If one person exaggerates by one point, ten people will exaggerate by ten points.
When the gossip reaches the end, it becomes something else.
Outside Peach Blossom Courtyard.
Lin Qi got off his horse, glanced at the ancient plaque, and took out the key.
The name of this villa is Taohuayuan.
I wonder if it is related to the peach blossom in my impression?
If so, among the rows of peach blossom trees, Lin Qi dances with a spear and a sword, holding a jar of daughter red in his hand.
Among the scattered peach blossoms, Lin Qi took a sip alone and cultivated through drunkenness. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
With a clang, the rusty iron door was pushed open by Lin Qi.
Lin Qi opened his eyes and saw that the area was quite large.
I did see the peach blossoms in my impression, but there was only a solitary peach blossom tree.
What caught Lin Qi even more off guard was that there was someone in the Peach Blossom Courtyard!
The man's clothes were in tatters, he wore a rag hat, and his face was stained with black dust, making it difficult to see his true appearance.
When Lin Qi saw this man dressed like a beggar, his aura moved forward and he asked doubtfully: "I have rented this other courtyard, who are you? Why are you here?"
A series of questions were thrown out directly.
The porcelain bowl in the hands of the beggar opposite fell directly to the ground and broke into pieces. His whole body was trembling and he did not dare to look directly into Lin Qi's eyes.
"Not a warrior?" Lin Qi was a little puzzled, and his aura calmed down a bit.
Is this person the owner of Peach Blossom Courtyard?
It was so dilapidated.
Could it be that the innkeeper tricked him?
At this time, the beggar glanced at Lin Qi and immediately lowered his head. A clear voice came: "This little girl has no name and no surname. She makes a living by begging in this place."
"This courtyard is not your place, but the iron gate is obviously locked, so how did you get in?" Lin Qi continued to ask without letting down his guard.
The beggar still lowered his head and pointed to the ladder against the wall with one finger.
Lin Qi glanced at the ladder, his aura dissipated, and he had a general understanding.
No one has lived in Taohuayuan for a long time, so this beggar made this his home. Wanfu Inn did not know that anyone lived here.
This villa is really not popular among warriors!
At this time, Lin Qi had a headache. Should he rush or not?
While Lin Qi was thinking, the female beggar still lowered her head and said nothing.
Lin Qi first brought the black horse in and put it in the stable nearby.
After finishing everything, Lin Qi was helpless when he saw that the beggar still stayed where he was.
Now, Lin Qi couldn't even take care of himself.
How can I take care of a beggar or a female beggar?
Then, Lin Qi took out a silver coin from his arms and said to her: "I have rented this villa. Take this silver coin, pack your things, and leave!"
The female beggar immediately panicked after hearing this. Her eyes were red with tears. She raised her head and looked at Lin Beggar and said, "Sir, please don't drive me away. Apart from here, there is no place for little girls in Qinggu Town."
Lin Qi listened to her plea. Although his face was calm, his heart softened.
Why are you crying?
Can crying solve problems?
Lin Qi breathed out, used her mind power to put two silver coins into her hands, and said: "Add one more silver coin, let's go!"
After hearing this, the female beggar stared blankly at the silver coins in her hand, looking completely lost.
She bit her lip, still crying.
Knowing that she could no longer persuade Lin Qi to change her mind, she walked towards the house.
Lin Qi felt a little complicated.
It was obviously a house he rented, so it was only natural for her to leave.
