Jiang Nian had just lost a huge sum of money and didn't want to bother with Gu Ling. He walked faster and faster, and Gu Ling trotted after him.

"Hey! You have such a good physique and your martial arts are not bad either, why don't you find a job?"

Jiang Nian glanced at her and said, "There are many evil-hearted people in this world. It's not that easy."

"Don't you do the work and they pay?"

"Of course not." Jiang Nian paused and raised his eyebrows, "Kid, let's make a bet."

"I'm going to find a job and see if I can get paid. If I do, I'll give it to you. If I can't, just give me the money in your pocket."

Gu Ling instinctively felt that there was a trap, but she wanted to see why Jiang Nian was so sure, so she nodded in agreement.

However, the first thing to do was not to find a job, but to transform Gu Ling's image first.

Except for his inner clothes, Gu Ling's clothes were pawned by Jiang Nian. He didn't know where he got a set of patched old clothes from. When Gu Ling changed into his clothes, he smiled at Gu Ling with ill intentions.

The dirty, muddy hand came towards Gu Ling's face. Gu Ling frowned and dodged: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Nian said, "I have no selfish motives and this is all for your own good. Disguise yourself. A beggar should behave like a beggar. If something goes wrong, don't blame me for not warning you."

Gu Ling was skeptical: "I can do it myself."

Jiang Nian shrugged, as if to say, "It's up to you."

Gu Ling looked around and rolled around in the gray haystack. A few strands of grass got stuck to his messy hair, and his originally clean clothes became dirty.

Then he collected dust on his hands from the ground and smeared it on his face, successfully transforming himself into a dirty little beggar.

After finishing preparations, Jiang Nian extended his hand to her: "Little beggar, call me brother."

Gu Ling stood up by himself and wiped his dirty hands on his clothes: "What's your name?"

Jiang Nian was stunned. No one had asked him his name for a long time. For a beggar, a random word or even a physical feature is their code name. No one pays attention to their surname or name, and no one cares.

"The river year, the river of the river, the year after year after year."

"Jiang Nian." Gu Ling called him, "You can go now."

Jiang Nian quickly caught up with Gu Ling: "Tell others that you are my sister. How can a sister call her brother by his name?"

"It's not a kiss."

"Pretend, pretend, do you understand?"

"don't know."

The two of them finally calmed down after they entered the city after quarreling for a long time. They walked around the city for a long time and saw many job vacancies, but none of them wanted Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian was not depressed, but at noon he sat on the ground and didn't get up, and kept shouting that he was very hungry.

"Aren't you rich?"

Jiang Nian didn't say anything, but kept shouting, "I'm so hungry, I can't walk anymore, and I don't have the energy to work."

This is just a shameless act and he wants to get something for free.

Gu Ling's clothes were not cheap. Jiang Nian was stunned by the fifty taels of silver. All the money went into Gu Ling's pocket. Jiang Nian was very greedy.

Gu Ling was thinking about his part-time job, so he went to buy a sesame seed cake for Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian got excited when he saw the sesame seed cake. He sat up straight and ate it in big mouthfuls, mumbling, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not hungry."

Jiang Nian paused, looked at Gu Ling, and Gu Ling said, "I'm serious."

Jiang Nian was too lazy to care about her. Gu Ling had her own money anyway, so it was her own problem if she didn't buy food.

He took another bite of the pancake and said, free things must be delicious.

Seeing that he was eating with relish, Gu Ling didn't tell him that the copper coins actually came from his arms.

The two of them were squatting in a corner, when suddenly a pot-bellied man approached with a smile, "I heard you're planning to find a job?"

……

The man was a rice merchant. He had to move the newly arrived rice into the warehouse today, but he was short of manpower. He happened to see Jiang Nian looking for a job, so he took the initiative to find them.

It's a total of three days, with one meal per day, and wages will be settled on the last day.

Jiang Nian has spiritual energy in his body and his physical fitness cannot be compared with that of ordinary people. Although he looks thin, he is very strong and powerful when moving goods, and his steps are fast and steady.

Gu Ling is much stronger than Jiang Nian, but Jiang Nian does not allow her to reveal her natural powers and just lets her watch from the side.

Gu Ling insisted, so Jiang Nian asked her with a sly smile to give her some money to spend. As expected, he was knocked to the ground by Gu Ling.

With such a shabby look on his face, he deserves to be exhausted.

Jiang Nian carried a bag of rice on his shoulders as he went in and out, and every time he did so he would glance at Gu Ling to make sure she was still there.

Jiang Nian came to work a little late today, and no meal was prepared for him, but he didn't mind it. He made an appointment for the next day and left.

He covered his shoulder and grimaced, his stomach growling, and he looked at Gu Ling.

Gu Ling knew what he meant, and the two of them went to a noodle shop and ordered two bowls of noodles.

Jiang Nian finished his meal like a whirlwind and ordered another bowl. When he was full, he patted his belly and stood up. He hadn’t walked far when the store owner stopped him: “Hey! You haven’t paid yet.”

Jiang Nian pointed at himself, then at Gu Ling: "Didn't she pay?"

“She only paid for a bowl of noodles.”

The store owner held him tightly, looking as if he was afraid that he would dine and skip the meal.

Jiang Nian wanted to refuse to pay, but Gu Ling ran too fast, so he could only pay with a fake smile.

When he was paying, he found that he was short of a copper coin, and his face became even worse.

Gu Ling was waiting for Jiang Nian outside the ruined temple. Jiang Nian looked at her and gritted his teeth as he spoke each word: "Are you kidding me?"

Gu Ling was not panicked at all: "I didn't say I would treat you to a meal."

Jiang Nian didn't expect that he would be fooled by a little brat. His face turned gloomy and he turned away.

No matter how precocious he was, he was still only a twelve-year-old child. He couldn't save his face at the moment and was so angry that he didn't say a word to Gu Ling.

They were in a cold war.

Although the two were still inseparable every day, no one spoke to each other. Two days passed like this and it was time to settle the wages.

Before the two of them could go in, they were stopped outside by servants. Jiang Nian was outside asking for his wages and making a fuss for a long time. The rice merchant came out and stood at the door and sneered.

"Can you carry the goods with your small body? Beggars are beggars. Instead of begging for food, you come to my shop to cheat. Go away, if you dare to make trouble again, I will report you to the police."

The warehouse was located in a remote area, so not many people saw the goods being moved. Seeing that Jiang Nian was thin and young, others did not believe that he could move so much goods.

The whispers of the people around were exactly the same as when Gu Sheng's clinic opened. Everyone accused Jiang Nian of lying.

Jiang Nian had expected this, so he didn't react much and kept his eyes on Gu Ling.

Gu Ling looked around, walked to the stone lion at the door, clasped his hands, exerted force on his waist, and suddenly picked up the stone lion.
