Chapter 35 - 25 The Melon-Eating Crowd
Putting aside the meaningless rewards that were gathering dust, Xu Qing finally looked at the only useful thing in his hand, a Truth Pill.
The so-called Truth Pill, as the name suggests, is a pill that can make people tell the truth.
This Qimen Elixir comes from a beggar family in Jin Sect, in the hands of the third-generation beggar Zhu Youshi.
Zhu Youshi was initially nameless, wandering when he was young, and halfway through, he acknowledged a beggar as his godfather. He was given the surname Zhu by his godfather, inherited the family business, and began begging with the ancestral broken bowl.
Begging also has its ways. You need to have an elder guiding you, know the streets and alleys, where the gatherings are on the first and fifteenth of the month, which families are kind-hearted, when the charitable people from the mansions will come out to give alms, and where not to go, where the people are vicious. These are all learning materials.
Once you are thoroughly familiar with your territory, you won't worry about three meals a day and can even get extra money for a drink and a few taels of meat to live it up for a while.
Zhu Youshi, coached by his gold-medal father, excelled in begging from a young age. There wasn't a single place in Jin Sect that he didn't know or was unfamiliar with!
This day, Zhu Youshi, as usual, carefully went out to beg but found that Jinmen Prefecture City seemed to have changed somehow.
He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets, pondered carefully, and finally figured out what was wrong.
It turned out that there were half as many beggars on the streets of Jinmen Prefecture City, no wonder he felt out of place.
Zhu Youshi was puzzled, even his meals were less tasty. Whenever he had the chance, he wondered where everyone had gone to make their fortune?
