Chapter 394: Transformation Into Jiang Xiaobai
"Sneak in first?" Bai Chen and Jing Yuan were startled one after another.
Seeing their surprised looks, Honglian smiled lightly and said: "We have a magical technique in Shuiyue Villa that can change a person's facial features. This technique is called the technique of disguise."
"I've heard of this!" Jing Yuan was immediately overjoyed: "It is said that even one's own parents cannot spot the flaws of people who use the art of disguise. Haha, Lian'er, your idea is indeed a good one!"
"It's not like you have a close relationship!" Honglian curled her lips and continued: "Besides, Tianhaizong is recruiting servants these days. I think this is an opportunity."
"The art of disguise..."
Looking at the endless sea of clouds outside the courtyard, Bai Chen's face showed a hint of deep expectation.
As one of the two sects in Youzhou, Tianhai Sect has an extremely strong foundation, but now they are recruiting servants, and in the blink of an eye, they have attracted countless people to come and take the exam.
Nowadays, at a side gate of Tianhai Sect, there is a long and orderly queue on the street, with no end as far as the eye can see. Looking at these people, they are dressed in coarse linen and rags. They are simply more miserable than the last, and more miserable than the last.
Tianhai Sect is a famous chivalrous sect and is as popular among the people as Feiyun Sect. For such a sect, while recruiting servants, they also hope to help some poor people from poor families. Of course, the basic qualities of a servant are , should still be placed at the top of the assessment.
After a long queue, many people were sweating in the scorching sun at noon. After all, Youzhou is located in the south, and the climate is also very hot.
At this time, a group of Tianhaizong guards in blue lined up neatly and distributed bowls of cold water to those people, which further demonstrated the chivalrous demeanor of the chivalrous sect.
When everyone was moved, their eyes couldn't help but fall on the girl in blue skirt in front of the side door. She was the eldest lady of Tianhai Sect, and she was also an envied and respected celebrity in Youzhou.
Zishan looked at the registration list on the table and frowned: "Butler Liu, how many people have we recruited?"
"Miss, there are already nineteen people." Butler Liu, wearing a green crown, said respectfully.
"Oh, that's it. Just pick one more person and that's enough."
Zishan's words immediately stunned those in front of him, and all of them looked anxious.
Tianhaizong recruits people. This is a good job that is rare in ten years. If you miss the opportunity, you don't know how many years and months it will have to wait.
Moreover, Tianhaizong also has an age limit for recruiting people. They do not want to recruit people over thirty years old. After all, their physical fitness has begun to decline, and those people will feel weak at work, and they are far less smart and capable than young people.
"Next person."
As Butler Liu finished his words, a rickety, skinny young man slowly came to him.
The cloth on this young man already gave off a sour smell. It seemed that it had not been washed for many years. Moreover, under his tattered clothes, there were distinct ribs, which made people feel uneasy after seeing them. pity.
"The villain's name is Qiong San'er. Please do me a favor and accept this villain." Qiong San'er covered his face and cried for a while. The sores on his hands made the long queue of people behind him feel sad. A touch of despair.
Such a poor person will probably occupy the last spot.
This is the idea that everyone has at this moment.
However, Butler Liu slowly withdrew the pity in his eyes and sighed: "Oh, poor third son, right? I actually have the intention to accept you..."
Hearing this, Qiong San'er was immediately overjoyed and was so excited that he knelt down on the spot.
Seeing this, Butler Liu quickly raised his hand to support him and said sadly: "It's a pity that the sores on your body are too serious. For the safety of the sect, I really can't accept you."
"Steward Liu, just accept this villain. I have no father or mother. I make a living by begging every day. But those beggars also bully me. I can't live anymore. If you don't accept me, I might as well be Forget it, just die, wuwu.”
The poor third son burst into tears and burst into tears, making Butler Liu's eyes wet for a moment.
"Steward Liu, he is so pitiful. Although we can't accept him, we can still help him." Zishan advised from the side.
"Oh, okay!" After the eldest lady said something, Butler Liu naturally did not dare to neglect, and took out a piece of gold from his sleeve, and handed it to the poor third son under the jealous and envious eyes of everyone.
After some consolation, Qiong San'er kowtowed to Butler Liu and Zishan again, then put the gold in his arms and limped away.
Looking at that weak and pitiful back, Butler Liu shook his head again and sighed, then looked away: "Next one."
"Xiajiang Xiaobai is from Qingyang County."
A clear voice sounded suddenly.
He was used to the feeble voices of those people, but a powerful voice suddenly came, which made Butler Liu feel curious and raised his head in surprise.
What caught his eye was a young man wearing cloth. Although this young man's clothes were torn, his exposed arms were white, and there was no trace of dirt on his face, which was neither handsome nor ugly. Most importantly, What's more, his deep eyes are bright and full of energy.
"Jiang Xiaobai?" Zishan couldn't help but be a little curious, staring at him: "Qingyang County has rich fertile soil, a sparse population, and the people are living a prosperous life. Why do you look so downcast?"
Qingyang County is well-known as a geomantic treasure land in Youzhou, but because it is difficult to relocate residents there, the population has never been large.
If a person born in that kind of place looks poor, he is probably either a lazy person or an idle gambler.
Facing the doubts of Zishan and Butler Liu, Bai Chen rolled his eyes, and suddenly a look of weather-beaten expression appeared on his face: "Well, to be honest, when I was seven years old, I followed my family to Yancheng to buy cloth. Unexpectedly, I encountered a mountain on the way. Thief, my family are all..."
Speaking of this, Bai Chen deliberately raised his sleeves to cover his face and trembled slightly.
"This..." Zishan and Butler Liu looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
With a smile in his heart, Bai Chen continued to choke and said: "I was only seven years old at that time, but in order to survive, I could only try to work hard like adults. I tried to do business several times, but in the end I failed and lost all my money. Not only did he lose his family's wealth, he also incurred a lot of debts..."
"It's so pitiful. If you have to learn to do business at such a young age, you will definitely lose money." Zishan's beautiful eyes flashed because of Bai Chen's words.
"Later, in order to pay off my debt, I came to the Qingyang River to fish, and that's how I survived until now."
Speaking of this, Bai Chen seemed to have stopped crying and could no longer speak.
