One afternoon, the tavern owner led an old man and a child and knocked on Gu Huai's door.
When he entered the house, Gu Huai was sitting on the green grass in the yard, crossing his legs and watching Gu Muxi scraping the bones of the giant rat.
The tavern owner's weapons were sold very well, but with Gu Muxi working alone, the supply was in short supply.
Gu Huai had plans to hire someone, but it was too dangerous to hire a stranger for weapons like this.
It's not that he is in danger, but strangers are in danger.
"Gu Huai, these two people said they want to find you."
The tavern owner looked at the bottles and cans lying on the ground, and for a moment he thought he had arrived at the garbage dump in Aung Triangle.
"What do you want these bone meal for?"
The tavern owner stared at it for a long time, but still couldn't help asking.
He didn't bother Gu Huai for a long time. He always felt that the other party was busy making weapons and it was inconvenient to disturb him. Who would have thought that Gu Huai was indeed busy, but he was not busy making weapons, but busy scraping bones.
"Keep these bone meal so that when the time comes, the people from the upper city can change their living quarters with us."
The tavern owner resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
People from the upper city move to the lower city?
I don't know if Gu Huai is dreaming or if his ears are dreaming. This is completely impossible.
The tavern owner didn't dwell on the matter.
"Gu Huai, these two people said that you are kind to them and they have to come to you. I have seen that they do not have weapons on them. See if you should keep them here."
Only then did Gu Huai look sideways.
It's the old man and his grandson who were saved last time.
"What's the point of keeping you here?"
He saves people, but he is not so kind as to be charitable.
The old man glanced at the ground and his mind was bright: "I can help you clean and cook. My little grandson is very strong and is good at scraping bones. If you don't believe me, let him try."
Gu Huai took a look at the small child and felt that no matter how strong he was, he could only be so strong.
But he happens to be short of manpower here, so it would be good to keep the two of them here. After all, they probably only need to take care of the food and don't need wages.
"Stay here." Gu Huai said, "Take this recipe book and read it. From now on, you can eat whatever page you turn to and let the tavern owner buy the dishes."
The old man's hands trembled slightly with excitement. He held the book and repeatedly said that Gu Huai was a good person. The face of the owner of the tavern next to him turned black to ashes.
Why is he going to buy groceries again? Why has he gotten himself into so much trouble?
Gu Huai: "By the way, when you cook, cook more and give a portion to the tavern owner when you're done."
The tavern owner immediately felt like he was back to life.
He has to worry about what to eat for the two bastards at home every day. If someone can cook for him, he can spare more than two hours a day to chat with others.
Calculating it this way, half an hour of grocery shopping is just a drizzle.
Thinking of this, the tavern owner agreed very happily.
It is a foregone conclusion that the old man and the child will stay here in Gu Huai.
After the old man's introduction, Gu Huai knew that the old man had no name and everyone called him Laoyou, but the child had a name, Gou Sheng.
Might as well not have a name.
Sooner or later, Gu Huai will take Gu Muxi and Gou Sheng out together. By then, Gu Muxi will sound like the heroine of a romance novel, and Gou Sheng will sound like cannon fodder for period novels. Putting them together is really inconsistent.
He thought about it and changed his name to Gou Sheng.
You don't want to use it.
Gou Sheng didn't have much feelings about his name, but Gu Huai could give him a different name, which made him feel valued.
He happily thanked her and went to show off to Gu Muxi.
After Gu Muxi listened to Jun Buqi's words for a long time, she turned around and stood in front of Gu Huai angrily, very dissatisfied: "Dad!"
Gu Huai rubbed her head: "I originally gave you your name, there is no need to change it."
Only then did Gu Muxi become happy.
With someone helping him, Gu Huai's weapon making speed further accelerated. After accumulating a batch of inventory, he stopped what he was doing.
"It's time for us to go see the Ngang Triangle."
Those who knew knew that Gu Huai was talking about a garbage dump, and those who didn't knew thought he was going to inspect it somewhere.
The ones responsible for catching the giant rats these days are Zhang Wei and Li San. Their skills are pretty good. Spending time in the giant rats' den these days has made their skills even more agile.
When Gu Huai and Gu Muxi came to the garbage dump, they were jumping up and down on the garbage mountain, and Zhang Tan was applauding them underneath.
Seeing Gu Huai, Zhang Wei jumped over from the garbage mountain, his face full of joy. And Li San was even more so, even with a little flattery on his face.
Zhang Wei's attitude toward Gu Huai changed drastically after he started playing in the casino. After Gu Huai made weapons and showed up at the critical moment to help them beat up the robbers, Zhang Wei's attitude toward Gu Huai
His attitude changed even more completely.
As for Li San, he had heard Ba Huiwei praise Gu Huai all day, so it would be strange not to show such an expression.
Children, sometimes have a stronger mentality than adults.
"Uncle, are there not enough giant rats? How many have we caught here?" Zhang Wei scratched his head, "Now we have caught almost all the giant rats here, and they are not easy to find."
Li San nodded crazily.
Zhang Tan obediently handed the bag containing the giant rat to Gu Huai.
Gu Huai did not answer it and asked Gu Muxi to hold it: "Have you seen anything strange recently, or anything different near the original giant rat's nest."
"No." Zhang Wei scratched his head, "It's the same as usual, dirty and smelly, nothing different."
Li San nodded crazily.
"For example, something black, or something similar to this material."
Gu Huai took out a glass bottle about the size of his little finger and showed Zhang Wei the black powder inside.
Zhang Wei took a serious look and was about to say no, when Li San tugged on the back collar of his clothes.
"Actually, there are. There have been a lot of black stones recently."
Zhang Wei thought for a moment: "Yes, it really does exist. Uncle, wait for me for two minutes, and I will break off a piece and show it to you."
In less than two minutes, Zhang Wei left and returned.
He held such a triangular stone in his hand and handed it to Gu Huai:
"Recently, there are a lot of these things in the garbage in the city. I don't know what they are used for. I have never seen them before."
This isn't uptown trash.
Gu Huai knew clearly in his heart that this was the food of the giant rat before, and it was also the reason why Xiacheng could not use magic.
In the same area, why is it okay to use magic in the upper city, but prohibited in the lower city?
To put it another way, what makes the upper city and the lower city have a clear boundary?
The people in the upper city naturally don't have the ability to control whether magic can be used in an area, otherwise they wouldn't be in a hurry to destroy the lower city.
Since it is not their method, it is very likely that the fact that you can go to the city and not use magic is natural.
In other words, there is a natural factor that has caused the current situation in the upper and lower cities.
