Chapter 77 The Little Adult’s Journey (Please subscribe)

The problem lies here.

The recent recession has made the atmosphere in the church a bit depressing, so Mofu noticed it.

He is more sensible than other children of his age, but after all, he is only a seven-year-old child.

Perhaps he simply thought that as long as he could make money, he could help them.

"It doesn't even make me worry."

Lu Qi, who had a general understanding of the situation, could basically guess what Mo Fu was thinking.

After sighing, Lu Qi said, "Let's search separately. The children shouldn't be far away."

Barrett also said at this time: "I have sent someone to notify the escort team, and they will help find him."

"Um."

Lu Qi nodded, looked in one direction and said, "I'll go look over there."

"Then I'll go over here."

Kashina chose the opposite direction and ran away impatiently. It was obvious that she was very concerned about the safety of the five children.

When we met just now, we noticed that this girl's forehead was covered with sweat.

"I'm going to help."

After Fiona finished speaking, she followed Kashina's direction.

"Let's go."

Lu Qi glanced at Lux and walked forward.

Lux also quickly followed.

She didn't know if she could find them, but she really didn't want anything to happen to those children.

In fact, for Lu Qi, it is inevitable to find it.

At this moment, in his eyes, a red light was rising into the sky from a location in the royal capital.

"A few little brats can still run quite far."

Sighing helplessly, Lu Qi quickened his pace.

As early as when he got the note under Mo Fu's pillow, he submitted it to the Shenxing tracking order.

The requirement for using the Divine Tracking Order is that it requires a personal belonging of the target, and Moff's note naturally counts.

The duration of the tracking order is five hours, and the target will be followed during this period.

So Lu Qi went straight towards the location of the red light.

Lux followed Lu Qi in confusion.

She wasn't even sure if she was looking for someone.

Can we really find Moff and the others this way?

after a while.

Lux was a little confused. She looked at the children in front of her, and then glanced at Lucci in disbelief.

Really found it?

Why?

At this time, Miss Crown Guard had a big question in her little head.

"How did you know they were here?"

Lux was really curious and couldn't help but ask.

Lu Qi replied calmly: "Just try your luck."

Of course Lacus couldn't believe this answer.

But she couldn't think of any other explanation for a while.

Unable to help but stare at Lu Qi's profile, Lux resisted the urge to ask.

Lu Qi, on the other hand, was looking at Moff and the others.

Mofu got a bamboo basket from nowhere and put it on his back with a lot of things in it. He held a little girl in his hand and walked step by step.

Behind him were three boys who were a little taller than him, and each of them also carried a bamboo basket behind them.

This scene made many passers-by look sideways.

But Moff ignored these looks and continued walking.

"Moff, I feel like these can be sold for a lot of money."

"Look how many I picked up?"

"Let's go sell it for money, Moff!"

"Moff?"

Several children were still excited about running away from home and talking happily.

They suddenly noticed that Mo Fu had stopped talking, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

In Mo Fu's sight, Lu Qi and that idiot sister were standing not far away, looking at them.

At this time, the children also saw Lu Qi and the two, and began to feel scared.

After thinking about it, Mofu walked forward, lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Qi, wiped his nose and said, "Why are you here."

Lu Qi smiled and said, "Didn't we make an appointment to meet today?"

Mo Fu also remembered this agreement, but he still did not raise his head and continued: "Are you here to ask us to go back?"

Lu Qi said: "Of course, everyone is worried about you."

Mo Fu hesitated for a moment, and he naturally listened to Lu Qi's words.

However, at this moment, his heart changed and he replied: "I won't go back!"

Lu Qi asked: "Why?"

Mo Fu raised his head this time and looked at Lu Qi with tenacious eyes: "Because we are now able to support ourselves!"

Behind him, the children nodded again and again, holding their heads high.

Even the little girl he was holding had a strong look in his eyes.

"Yeah?"

Lu Qi became more interested: "I heard that you are making money. How much have you earned so far?"

"a lot of!"

Hearing this, Mov proudly put his hand into his pocket, took out all the money in it, and gave it to Lu Qi.

Lu Qi took it and looked at it in his hand.

It was a handful of shriveled copper coins, which looked unfair and even dirty, but there were quite a lot of them, probably more than thirty.

Just copper coins are already a lot in their eyes.

"This is just the beginning, we can still make more."

At this time, Mofu was full of confidence, and his innocent eyes were full of longing for the future.

Seeing this, Lu Qi put away his smile and asked again: "Are you sure you don't want to go back?"

Seeing that the smile on Lu Qi's face had disappeared, Mo Fu felt scared, but after a second he mustered up the courage to say: "No!"

"good."

Lu Qi returned the money earned by Mo Fu, "Then you won't return it. Just pretend that we have never been here and continue to do what you should do. Let me see what you are capable of."

Mo Fu was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

He thought Lu Qi would give him an unreasonable lesson and forcefully take them back.

Because this is like Lucci's style.

After the accident, he became happy again. Mofu nodded seriously and excitedly: "Look carefully, I will prove it to you!"

What he wanted most was the approval of Lu Qi, a man with a very high status in his eyes and the only man who didn't treat him like a child.

If even he can approve it, then it proves that he must be fine now, right?

Four p.m.

Moff took his four friends and continued to embark on the journey confidently.

Lu Qi kept a distance, followed behind, and watched silently.

Those children, who were worried at first, became more confident and bold later on.

Mofu and the others' source of income is to pick up some abandoned scrap metal and cardboard boxes, as well as other things they think should be valuable.

Maybe they have done special research, because some people do collect these. After all, waste can be reused.

You can sell it for more than ten or twenty copper coins at a time, and if you are lucky, it will double.

One gold in Demacia is equal to ten silvers, and one silver is equal to one hundred coppers.

Silver and copper coins are the mainstream currency in Demacia. People like Lu Qi who spend money directly with gold coins are no longer within the reach of ordinary families.

But this is normal, after all, his starting point is such a high one.

The place where you spend money is also a high-end place.

During the previous archery game, when he saw Luqi and Lux ​​shooting at each other, the boss smiled crookedly.

Why?

Because one arrow is equal to three silver coins, these three silver coins are already a lot.

Five p.m.

Mov and the others have been back and forth four times to the place where scrap parts are exchanged for money.

I probably sold more than 2 silver in these four times.

This put smiles on the faces of several children.

Although Moff is not the oldest among them, he is indeed the most boss-like. The children listen to him first in everything.

During this period, the escort team came.

They first saw a few children, and when they were about to step forward, they saw His Highness the Prince again.

His Highness the Prince ordered them to withdraw and go back to inform others, leaving him to watch over here.

So the escort took the order and left.

Six pm.

The sky gradually darkened, but the sun had not set yet.

After running around for several hours, exhaustion finally appeared on the faces of Mofu and the other children, but even though they felt tired, they were still happy.

Because you can make money, and you earn it through your own hard work.

But soon, the first lesson of this society came.

They are not the only ones collecting scraps, there are also some adults. When they intrude on those adults' territory, they will be driven away angrily, and some may even actually take action.

Those people didn't relent just because they were children.

Several children were frightened, and after running away, Moff comforted them for a while.

This small incident did not discourage them, but soon, the second incident undermined their self-confidence.

After several children finally collected a new wave of waste products, they happily came to the waste collection stall.

Coincidentally, there were also two adults coming with bamboo baskets on their backs.

"This is yours, one silver, keep it."

The waste collector dealt with the adults' batch first.

Then he checked Mofu and his friends, weighed them, took out a handful of copper coins, and counted them, "This is yours, forty copper coins."

Mo Fu looked puzzled. He looked at it carefully and said puzzledly: "Why do we only have so few? Our collection is not as small as theirs."

He noticed this time that the two adults collected no more scraps than they did, but they sold them for one silver.

And they only have forty coppers.

Faced with this problem, the stall owner didn't even want to explain. He said impatiently: "That's all. Do you want it or not?"

Mo Fu was stunned for a moment, looked up at the expression on the stall owner's face, and for the first time knew the dangers of this society.

He really wants to forcefully say that he won't sell it to you.

But thinking of the people behind him, he forced a smile and said, "That's all."

The stall owner handed over the copper coins this time.

The few Mofus turned around and left, carrying empty bamboo baskets on their backs.

On the way, several children were depressed.

"In other words, the prices we sold the few times before were also reduced?"

“Why do those people charge more than us?”

"Moff, why don't you sell it to him?"

Several people walked listlessly on the road.

This incident has dealt a big blow to their confidence.

After working so hard for so long, I ended up not earning half as much as adults.

"Because he thinks we are easy to bully."

Mo Fu's face was full of unyielding, "The more he looks down on us, the more we have to prove it to him!"

The morale of several children was boosted by these words, and they cheered up a little more.

They did not leave the church with a casual attitude.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

In summer, it gets dark late, but the sun is also setting at this time.

When the children collected another wave of waste products and returned, they found that the stall owner was missing.

Call it a day? Or go somewhere else.

they do not know.

But after searching around, no one else was willing to accept it.

So they could only carry heavy waste that they couldn't bear to throw away, and walked down the street step by step, with a little confusion on their faces.

But at this time, the house leaked and it rained all night.

As a raindrop fell, it soon began to rain heavily. This was a solar rain. The sky was still bright, but the rain didn't stop.

There was a crash, and people were hiding from the rain.

Mov and the others were also drowned by the sudden heavy rain. They hurriedly hid under an exposed eaves to take shelter from the rain. They stood there, looking outside, with confusion in their eyes.

The planned income was cut off and I got wet.

Fortunately it's summer and I don't feel cold at all.

At this time, I felt hungry again.

The rain came and went quickly. When the rain stopped, Mofu decided to fill his stomach first.

Only in this way can you have the strength to work.

Smelling the aroma, they found a restaurant on the street, but the price made them look twice and run away.

Even the most ordinary bowl of broth with a piece of bread costs one silver coin.

Finally found a cheap restaurant, a bowl of vegetable soup and a piece of bread, twenty coppers per person.

Five people spent one silver coin, and after all the calculations, they still had a little more than three silver coins left.

Five people earned four silver coins in one day, which seemed to be pretty good for them.

eight pm.

It was already dark, and Moff and the others were walking on the street.

The girl named Moses was actually a little sleepy after eating just now.

His eyelids kept fighting, but he still mustered up the strength to follow.

Only then was Mofu noticed, and he asked: "Moses, are you sleepy?"

Moses shook his head: "I'm not sleepy."

"what about you?"

Moff turned around and asked the other three companions.

"not sleepy!"

"We still have strength!"

"Where are you going now?"

The three partners had tired faces, but they still responded.

Mo Fu thought for a while and decided to find a place to stay and rest today.

Hotels are easy to find.

Soon they entered a house.

The boss asked kindly: "How many of you are there?"

"Five."

Moff, who took the lead, replied.

The boss counted and found that there were indeed five, and then asked: "Where is your lord?"

However, after Mo Fu answered.

The boss suddenly changed his expression.

"Let you adults come over and rent a house. We don't rent to children."

Several children walked out of the store with some confusion on their faces.

Obviously they have money, why not rent it to them?

"Let's look elsewhere."

Moff decided.

But after some inquiries, I found that either they would not rent it to them, or the price was too expensive.

In fact, even in those ordinary hotels, just a single room costs two silver coins a night.

Moff thought that if they were pitiful, some adults might be soft-hearted and willing to take them in for a night.

However, when this idea came to his mind, he thought of Lu Qi.

He thought that he wanted to prove to Lu Qi that they could make their own money, live by themselves, and become adults.

Being pitiful, I might be able to survive tonight, but what about the future?
