Chapter 4 Temporary mission, saving Gu Jia

In the next few days, there was a busy little figure in the Changsheng Hall.

Gu Jia is a sensible child. Except for the six hours of practice every day, she spends the rest of her time cleaning the store.

Sometimes when I really have nothing to do, I will say hello to Lu Changsheng and go to the surrounding neighbors to find work.

Her hands are very diligent and she works neatly.

Although the neighbors lived a very unsatisfactory life, they all liked this little girl who could not speak.

Sometimes he would give her a piece, sometimes he would give her two pieces, but Gu Jia would not take it too little. He would always work until the person was satisfied before leaving.

Lu Changsheng was lying on the folding chair, looking at the busy figure of his little apprentice, and couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Isn't it good for me to be like this...I leave all the work to my apprentice..."

"How about I donate some blood later... The blood banks near my home all know me, so I have to go further away..."

Lu Changsheng planned this.

【I am here】

How many mall coins do I have now?

[Details of mall coins are as follows]

[Through hard training, Gu Jia’s innate skill experience increased by 3% and she obtained 30 mall coins]

[Through hard training, Gu Jia’s innate skill experience increased by 4% and she obtained 40 mall coins]

[Gu Jia’s Xiantian Kung LV1 practice progress is: 11%]

[Total mall coins: 210]

In just three days, you earned me 110 mall coins?

Damn it, what kind of life have I been living these past three years...

I worked so hard on a novice mission, but it was not as good as the three days of hard work of a good disciple...

According to this progress, Gu Jia will be able to save 1,000 mall coins if her innate skill reaches LV2.

It seems that regeneration pills are not very expensive...

Lu Changsheng shut down the system, said hello to the busy Gu Jia, and walked out of the store.

The blood station he was going to today was far away from home. He specifically told his young apprentice not to wait for him to have lunch, as he would not be back until evening.

Gu Jia's practice today has long been completed, and there is nothing left to do about the hygiene in the store.

She took out a few crumpled bills from her arms, placed them on the table and smoothed them carefully.

"I wonder if this money is enough to buy ribs?"

Gu Jia's mind was very delicate. She clearly remembered the longing and patient look in her master's eyes when she looked at the ribs on the first day she came to the shop.

Although Master didn't say it, he probably wanted to eat too...

Think so.

Gu Jia took the banknotes back into his arms and walked to the vegetable market.

...

"Little girl, this money is really not enough to buy ribs. What do you mean?"

"You want to help in the shop, don't you?"

"Hey... what a pretty girl. That's okay. Auntie doesn't want the money. You can help in the store for a day and I'll leave you a small bag of ribs. What do you think?"

Looking at the busy figure in front of the pork rib stall, the third child pushed the boss's arm in disbelief and lowered his voice and said, "Boss, do you think that girl looks like a mute girl?"

"Third brother, do you have a blind eye? Didn't you see her clothes? She looks like a child from a rich family. How can a mute girl be so beautiful? Did you meet her on the first day?"

The Public Security Bureau has been looking for them, and the old Dalian company has been looking for someone to hide from the pursuing soldiers. It has been on the verge of collapse for three days, and now is the time to get irritable.

"No, boss. Look, the girl's movements are exactly the same as the mute girl's. And pay attention to her eyes, are they exactly the same as the mute girl's!"

The third child was a little excited. After days of searching, they finally found him. Now he just wanted to leave Lincheng as soon as possible. He didn't want to stay in this damn place for another day.

"Go over and have a look..." Although the boss was not sure, he still went to the stall with the mentality of giving it a try.

Gu Jia has been busy at the stall, and beads of sweat keep falling from her forehead. She is afraid of soiling her clothes, so she is very careful when doing things.

In a daze, she felt like she was being stared at by a cold look.

She carefully raised her head and saw the eyes that had appeared countless times in her nightmares.

Vicious, cruel, and ruthless.

Gu Jia suddenly lost his grip on the weight in his hand and fell to the ground with a "snap".

Her pupils suddenly contracted, her chest heaved violently, her back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and her body began to tremble subconsciously.

Just one glance.

The boss knew he had found it...

"Mute girl, you gave us a good meal..." The boss grabbed Gu Jia's neck and pulled her out from the stall like a chicken.

Gu Jia's whole body was tense and she didn't dare to resist at all. She just followed the boss numbly.

"Hello!"

A sharp voice stopped the boss's movements.

"Are you the parent of this little girl? What do you do for food? You have money to buy such good clothes for your child, but you can't afford a pound of ribs? It's the time when the child is growing, do you know?"

The owner of the pork rib stall is a 40-year-old middle-aged woman. Her husband died young, and she raised a family by herself.

To be able to gain a foothold in this mixed market, she is naturally a fierce woman.

Gu Jia seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. She was desperate but now she had renewed hope. She struggled to break free from the boss and rushed to the stall owner. She shook her head desperately and made a sound of "Aba Aba" with difficulty.

How did the dumb girl become so strong?

The boss was a little surprised, but he was not panicked. After years of education, he didn't think the dumb girl would dare to really resist him.

"I'm sorry, boss lady, the child is too playful. How could we starve the child? You're right, girl?"

The boss quietly pinched Gu Jia's neck, and his palm exerted force secretly, making her unable to move or even make a sound.

"Boss lady, take this money as compensation for the girl disturbing you for a day"

The third brother handed over a hundred-yuan bill at the right time, put on a smiling face, and apologized.

Just as the two were about to take Gu Jia away from the vegetable market, the stall owner spoke again.

"Wait a minute!"

The eldest and the third looked at each other, and saw murderous intent in each other's eyes...

The stall owner stuffed the hundred-yuan bill back into the third's hand, and gently put a small bag of ribs into Gu Jia's hand.

"Child, if you want to eat ribs in the future, come to your aunt. You are a good child, and this is what you deserve."

Gu Jia's eyes were blurred by tears. She trembled and took the ribs and put them tightly in her arms, even if the ribs would dirty her most beloved clothes.

Gu Jia didn't dare to ask for help again. No one knew better than her how vicious the two men were...

"You two, be nice to the child. If I see the child run out hungry again, I will never let you go!"

The stall owner stared at the eldest and the third with Gu Jia and left.

What she didn't realize was...

Gu Jia's body was shaking constantly, and every step seemed to be stepping into an endless abyss, so reluctant, so desperate...

......

"Ah, it feels good..."

Lu Changsheng came out of the blood donation station, grabbed the money in his hand, and breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

"I'm going to eat ribs today no matter what!"

He walked home with great anticipation.
