"Ah, I came back late today and didn't prepare any goodies, so I didn't make much money. Never mind, it's also my fault for not being able to resist going out for a walk."

Xiao Tao held a stack of money tightly in her hand, silently placed the money on the table, and carefully arranged the bills one by one.

"Sunflower, don't clean up over there yet. Leave it to Xiaohe. He said he was going to graze the horses, but he must have secretly gone to cockfight again. He's really worrying me. Come here and help me count this money. I can't see the color."

She raised her voice and tried to call Theresa, who was busy cleaning up.

"coming."

What on earth am I doing? Why am I here helping others with their work for no apparent reason?

Confused, Theresa slowly walked to Xiaotao and began to help count the pile of messy currencies on the table.

Xiao Tao suddenly asked, "Are you planning to get paid monthly or daily?"

"Huh?" Theresa raised her head in surprise and looked at Xiaotao.

I saw Xiaotao talking slowly, but the speed of counting money did not slow down at all.

"I won't let anyone work for free. I'll definitely pay you. If you choose monthly pay, then food and accommodation are provided, and you can work here long-term. If you choose daily pay, you'll have to find a way to provide for food and accommodation yourself."

On the surface, providing food and accommodation seems to be a very good condition, but this will undoubtedly result in a certain degree of loss of freedom.

But on second thought, if this is a job at a night stall, it doesn't seem completely unacceptable.

But she didn't mention that!

"How much work and how much rest do you have?"

Although Xiaotao's pale pink eyes looked empty and lifeless because of her blindness.

But Theresa clearly felt a strange gaze directed at her.

"There's no such thing as a work schedule or a rest schedule. We're called the Dakong Office, and we're kind of a small guild. We specialize in taking on commissions from others. Because someone owed a lot of money when they took over this shop, our reputation has always been less than ideal. To stay afloat and pay our employees, we have to accept all sorts of commissions. Every few days, we even have to set up a barbecue stall on the street."

Oh~ why does this sound so familiar?

Isn’t this similar to that handyman shop?

"The poet who was serving dishes, the uncle who was grilling skewers, and Ergou who is in charge of collecting money, since they often come here to help with affairs, they can be considered part of Dakong Office."

Theresa readily agreed: "Sure!"

For her, occasionally going out to perform some tasks not only solves the problem of food and accommodation, but also provides an opportunity to experience different things.

"This is compensation for your suitcase, and the wages you deserve for your work tonight."

As Xiaotao spoke, she took out a few bills from her pocket.

"You performed well tonight, and they like you very much. This is your compensation. If you hadn't joined us, you still wouldn't have gotten it."

Theresa frowned when she heard this and muttered, "Too much!"

Although she felt somewhat dissatisfied, she still reached out and took the money Xiaotao handed over.

Who can have trouble with money?

"It's nothing excessive. This is a vast plain. If a group of bandits show up and rob people, or if someone kills someone and burns them, everyone can only rely on their own conscience to judge whether to help. It's good enough to get these. Don't think too much. I've already boiled some hot water."

"where is it?"

"See for yourself. If there are things you can do yourself, don't ask."

......

Why are you so fierce? Just ask for it yourself.

Theresa hummed a strange yet inexplicably cheerful tune in her heart while searching for the bathroom.

There are many small red squares under the bathtub emitting hot steam.

I thought it was water from a kettle, but it turned out to be an arcane item.

Pretty good.

Theresa slowly approached the tub, gently dipped her finger into the water, and tested the temperature.

Hmm...the water temperature is just right, neither hot nor cold. It looks like someone has carefully adjusted it.

Just like that, Theresa walked unprepared into the steaming bathtub, washing away the long-accumulated fatigue in her body and mind.

"Snapped--!"

The bathroom door was pushed open, and Theresa subconsciously shouted, "Who!"

"it's me."

Xiao Tao slowly pushed the door open and walked in. "The heat stored in those little cubes is almost used up. There's no way to burn them a second time."

As she spoke, she began to undress herself.

As buttons were undone one by one, pieces of clothing gradually slid to the ground, revealing her childlike skin.

Oh... she can't see it anyway.

Theresa gently moved her body, making a spacious enough space for Xiaotao to walk in smoothly.

"Huh~ After a busy day, my favorite thing to do is to take a comfortable hot bath." Xiao Tao said as she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I agree~"

When Theresa's eyes inadvertently swept across Xiaotao's delicate face and finally stopped at her beautiful but lifeless eyes.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a slightly cunning smile. She stretched out her right hand and waved it in front of Xiaotao's eyes.

Hehe...I really can’t see it!

"Are you a dummy?"

Xiao Tao suddenly reached out and tightly grasped Theresa's shaking arm, staring at her with her unfocused eyes.

Theresa obviously did not expect Xiaotao to have such a reaction, and was stunned for a moment.

"you are not?"

"Yes, I am blind. But as I said, I can see the light emanating from the fire man. That is why I think you should not be a fire man. But there is something very strange about you, an aura that I have never felt before, so I can't judge you for a moment." Xiao Tao slowly let go of her hand and said calmly.

In fact, when Xiaotao first met Theresa, she was unable to make an accurate judgment for a while.

The right side of Theresa's body shone with a bright red light, while the rest of her body shone with a golden glow.

Fire man...that's the power of fire crazy.

Theresa stared at the small black flower on the back of her hand. The black hand had absorbed the powerful force of the Crazy Fire, which was why Xiaotao could see it.

"how do you......"

"How did I do it? Well, since you asked, I won't hurt to tell you. It's not some hidden secret anyway."

A trace of sadness that was hard to conceal suddenly appeared on Xiaotao's originally calm face.

"Before my mother conceived me, she came into contact with the power of the Fire Man. As a result, I have been blind since birth. Especially with a special power like the Fire Man, I can often easily detect their presence."

As for a fiery-minded child...it takes a very strong heart to accept this fact.

"If you're interested, you can ask Ergou to take you to the border tomorrow."

"Well... I'm done washing..."

Theresa slowly got up from the bathtub, and her black hand slowly stretched out as usual to help with the cleaning.

Since Xiaotao can only see the light, there should be no problem with the dark hand coming out, right?

"What is that? A tentacle?"
