What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

Chapter 5 The little beggar's sense of superiority

Gu Xi watched and fell asleep again.

Then I heard the hawkers outside.

She rubbed her eyes and sat up, only to find that it was already daybreak. She was lying in that simple little inn, and there was nothing in the room except a small bed.

Could it be that the mechanism for her to travel through time was to sleep? Traveling through this world was similar to dreaming?

She had just fallen asleep in the modern world when she came here, but she didn't feel sleepy at all, as if she had slept a whole night.

Gu Xi checked the space and found that the food she had stockpiled was there. She secretly praised herself for being smart, otherwise she would be penniless and hungry now.

The only regret is that I didn’t bring my mobile phone with me, so I can’t take videos. It seems I have to put the mobile phone in the space next time.

As soon as she got up, she saw a flash of golden light in front of her eyes, and words began to float in the sky again. She was delighted. What did the system reward her with?

【Mission: Find relatives. 】

[Reward: Upgrade any skill by one level.]

【Punishment: Marry Wu Dazhuang.】

Huh? It turns out that it is a task, and there are penalties if you fail to complete it.

"Come out here, you dog system. You didn't play it this way the previous three times. You gave me rewards directly." Gu Xi was furious.

Suddenly a mechanical sound came from his ear, scaring Gu Xi.

"The first three times are rewards for novices. The host will have to complete tasks in the future to get rewards. If you lie down and do nothing, you will be punished."

"Huh? The system actually has a conversation function?"

“Yes, the system has an automatic reply function.”

"System, can we have a negotiation? That Wu Dazhuang is too ugly. You should at least find me a handsome guy to marry. I don't want an emperor or a prince. Just find me someone who looks like Pan An."

Gu Xi is a complete face control.

"You wish. That's not a punishment but a reward."

"But I'm completely in the dark now. Where can I find my relatives? Please give me some clues."

"Reminder: The deadline for finding your relatives is before midnight tonight."

"You are not giving me a hint, you are giving me more pressure! System, you have no moral principles!"

"Haha, the host is wasting his time looking for his relatives."

Gu Xi was depressed.

It’s better to go out and find someone quickly, in case the task cannot be completed. Thinking of Wu Dazhuang’s ugly appearance, Gu Xi felt a chill in his heart.

I would rather die!

Since Gu Xi and her family got separated near Nanshan Town, her relatives should be not far away from her.

Gu Xi ate a piece of bread, drank a box of milk, and hurried out.

After leaving the inn, there were some small vendors hawking their wares on the street, and some shops had just opened.

Years of experience of staying up late to read novels have taught Gu Xi that the people of the Beggars' Sect are the most well-informed.

She was searching on the street and actually saw a few little beggars at the side of an alley.

Gu Xi walked over excitedly and said to a little beggar who was about 11 or 12 years old and whose hair was as messy as a chicken coop:

"Little brother, let me ask you, have you seen a group of men and women from other places in the past two days, with more women?"

In such a remote town, it is rare to see outsiders, so her big family should attract more attention.

The little beggar looked up at her. At this moment, Gu Xi was still dressed as a farmer and her clothes were very shabby. The little beggar thought she was too poor and didn't want to pay attention to her.

Gu Xi took out two slices of bread from his arms, actually from the space, and gave one slice to the little beggar.

The little beggar smelled it and found it fragrant, so he took a tentative bite, and then his eyes lit up.

This is so delicious! So I gobbled down a piece of bread and almost choked.

After eating, he stared at the other piece of bread in Gu Xi's hand and said:

"Yesterday I saw Liu Si pulling a cart with a few outsiders on it."

"Who is Liu Si?" Gu Xi asked hurriedly.

The little beggar nodded at the bread and licked his lips.

Gu Xi gave him the bread slice, and the little beggar chewed it while mumbling:

"Liu Si is the town's human trafficker, don't you know? Oh, that's right, you look like a country bumpkin, it's normal that you don't know what's going on in town."

Oh my god! The little beggar in the town can actually show his superiority in front of the farmer in the village.

Gu Xi asked again: "Do you know where his home is?"

"His home is not far ahead, but he may not be at home now. I saw him driving south early in the morning. I guess he went to the county town. After all, there are not many wealthy families in our town who can afford slaves."

"Which way is the county town? How far is it?"

The little beggar pointed to the south and said:

"Go straight south, it's about 40 to 50 miles. If you walk like this, it will take you most of the day."

"Is there any carriage or something like that going to the county town?"

"Yes, turn right and there is a carriage going to the county town at the Yuelai Inn on that street."

When Gu Xi heard it, she realized it was the inn where she was staying.

So I went back to the inn to ask the waiter about the carriage. The waiter enthusiastically introduced:

"Sir, the carriage to the county town leaves twice a day. The morning carriage has already left. Would you like to get off? Come again. Five copper coins each time."

Gu Xi was anxious to find her relatives. After all, she only had one day. If the traffickers sold the people, she would be in trouble if she couldn't find them today.

"I am in a hurry. Can I still catch up with the carriage now?"

The waiter shook his head:

"I'm sure we can't catch up. If we're really in a hurry, we can hire a carriage, but it's expensive, sixty cents a time."

It turns out that there are two buses every day, and the inn also provides taxi service.

Not to mention sixty cents, Gu Xi couldn't even take out five cents. Although there were a lot of things stored in the space, they were not copper coins.

Now, she will try to see if she can sell something.

But the secret of the space could not be discovered by anyone, so he exchanged a piece of bread with the waiter for a bag and put the four cans of Coke in the space into it.

She also asked the waiter about the largest restaurant in town. When she went in, she was stopped by the waiter. Seeing that she was dressed like a farmer, he was worried that she had no money to pay the bill.

Wherever there are humans, there is a common problem: they only recognize clothes and not people.

Gu Xi took out a can of Coke and said to the waiter:

"I have some excellent wine here. It's delicious. Call your shopkeeper over. I want to discuss business with him."

The waiter saw that although Gu Xi's clothes were tattered, he had never seen this can of Coke before. Judging from its exquisite appearance, it was definitely not an ordinary product, so he quickly called the shopkeeper out.

"You said you have top-quality wine for sale?" The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with a goatee.

Gu Xi pulled the ring of the Coke bottle, asked the waiter to bring a bowl, poured out half a bowl of Coke, and said to the shopkeeper:

"You'll know after you taste it."

The shopkeeper looked at the half bowl of black, bubbling stuff with suspicion.

"Your jar is nice looking, but this wine looks like a medicinal soup, and it's bubbling. Is it poisonous?"
