Several people turned their heads, and the one who spoke was a young man wearing overalls and a soft hat.
The boy looked very thin, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a layer of sweat stains on his face, his clothes were very shabby, and there was a hole in the front of one of his shoes. He looked dirty. Although he was covering it with the brim of his hat when he spoke,
Most of his face was open, but Mo Xiao and others could still hear the tension in his subtle tone.
I don’t know what mouse means, but Mo Xiao and the others really need a little help now, so he tried to use the kindest tone and said: "What help can you provide me? If you mind, can you tell me what mouse means?"
?"
Seeing that there was something going on, the young man's face showed a hint of joy. He rubbed his hands, revealing a thin tail on his back: "I am a rat man, and my job is quite... well, whether it is asking for information or buying information,
I can help. Several adults have been looking around, I guess they are looking for something?"
Rat Man... The attention of several people immediately focused on his tail, which was thin and long. It was hidden in the clothes before. Ye Xiaoying saw this and kicked Shu Mo lightly: "Hey, your relative."<
/p>
Shu Mo glared at her angrily, but didn't say anything. He didn't want to mention the difference between mirage demons and rat demons anymore, he was tired.
The young man aroused some interest in Mo Xiao. He smiled and nodded and said: "Your observation skills are quite good, so can you help?"
"Of course, it's just a very simple matter. I know every place in Xiwai Street. I only need three Nabis, and I will..."
The young man pulled up the brim of his hat and held out three fingers, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Patty: "Don't talk about this yet. Is there a hidden place? I'll give you a big deal."<
/p>
"Big business?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, then his expression became alert. He calmly took a small step back, then turned around and ran away without hesitation.
Patty raised his eyebrows. How could he let someone run away under their noses? He waved his hand, stretched out a blood whip and wrapped it around the other person's body, directly pulling him back.
No need to remind, Shu Mo's eyes glowed, and their figures were immediately hidden.
The young man was frightened. He sat on the ground and stared blankly at the bloody whip wrapped around his body. His mind was a little out of control. After a long time, he rolled around in panic and relied on instinct to crawl in the opposite direction of Mo Xiao and the others. "Why are you so scared? What did we say that caused such a big reaction from you? We have no malice, and we really need the help of a friend who is familiar with the oasis." Mo Xiao squatted down, looked directly at the young man, and pointed at Patty beside him.
"As long as you promise not to run away, I will ask this sister to let you go, and then we will have a good talk."
The young man came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly when he heard Mo Xiao's words.
Patty let go of the blood whip, and the boy subconsciously crawled back a little, and then stopped. Mo Xiao was very pleased. It was good that the boy didn't talk like farting like Shu Mo did.
The blood whip turned into blood and disappeared in Patty's hand. She was not afraid of the boy running away at all. If she could catch him once, it would be easy to catch him the second time. At this time, the boy looked at Patty with deep awe in his eyes.<
/p>
Mo Xiao asked: "Tell me, what did we say that made you so scared that you ran away decisively?"
"Well... in the past, some people used business as a guise to deceive rats and force them to serve them, and there were also many people who robbed their savings. We are weak and cannot resist, so we can only be more vigilant."
The young man answered honestly, but kept glancing at Patty with a mixture of respect and fear.
Patty nodded slightly, interpreting what she said as both "hidden" and "big business", which may indeed confuse people.
"Okay, it'll be fine once the misunderstanding is resolved." Mo Xiao grabbed the young man's shoulders and pulled him up. The next sentence made his eyes almost pop out, "We come from the dark area and have never entered the oasis. We need
You serve as a guide, we don’t have any money, but other things...whatever you want, I will try my best to satisfy you."
Mo Xiao lied appropriately. He had his own reasons for saying this. After all, if he wanted to hire this boy, he couldn't hide too much. Otherwise, it would be bad if he behaved too ignorantly and aroused suspicion after hiring him. Moreover, they also had confidence that if the young man had any intentions,
If something is not right, they will know immediately and take corresponding measures.
The mysterious pendant was watching. He didn't need to rest. It was running all the time, 365 days a year. The young man could never guess that there was a pair of eyes staring at him.
The young man's face changed, and then he immediately returned to normal. His reaction was relatively calm: "Dark area... With all due respect, adults, please don't make such excuses casually. Spreading rumors will be caught by the patrol team of the government department." p>
Mo Xiao smiled and shrugged: "We are not spreading rumors. The reason why we say this is to ask you to cooperate. If you see something strange, don't make a fuss. Whether you believe it or not is another matter."
"Do you have any evidence?" The young man glanced at Patty secretly again and asked bravely in a low voice.
"There is no evidence, and no evidence is needed, because we don't need to prove anything to you." Ye Xiaoying looked at him lightly, "After saying so much, do you still want to do business with us?"
"Can I first ask you what the adults want me to do? If I'm just looking for something, I can do it..." The boy's voice became weaker and weaker, and he obviously lacked confidence.
"Don't worry, it won't be any trouble. Why were you panicking before? A 'big business' was frightened." Patty said as kindly as possible, "I want you to help us lead the way and find someone.
As for remuneration... let me think about it, we don’t have money, can we offset it with other things? What do you want?"
She has no shortage of gold coins, gems, etc., and these things are currency that can be circulated everywhere.
However, the boy's answer surprised them a little: "I want food and medicine. I know my request may be excessive, but... I really need these things."
Mo Xiao had a strange expression. He immediately thought of instant noodles. He didn't expect that after his trip to the demon world, this thing could be used as currency again. It was simply the number one artifact for time travel...
After thinking about it, it's normal. The devil world and this place have one thing in common, that is, the environment is harsh and the lack of food is normal. Even if the earth's time is set back a few hundred years, there will still be famine everywhere. It is very reasonable to use food as payment.
Things.
When Mo Xiao took out the instant noodles, he once again received the same shock as Guili. A few minutes later, the young man stared blankly at the hot instant noodles in his hand, and suddenly faced the remarks of the people in front of him.
Some believe it, otherwise where did this food that I had never seen before come from? Are there really other living places in the dark area outside the oasis?
