After the funds arrived, Geng Xian reported to the president of the beggars' union and then left in a hurry.
Not long after, the other members of Jiusha also rushed back. Shayi handed their bank cards to them respectively, and then left quickly. After all, the money had already arrived, and the subsequent steps of washing the money had nothing to do with them anymore, so naturally, no one stayed here any longer.
The first thing everyone did after getting the money was to go to a nearby town and have a big meal. After all, many people hadn't eaten for more than a day and were really hungry. Li Mu was no exception. After the meal, Li Mu said goodbye to everyone. He still had to take part in the assessment of Shengtian Academy. He originally wanted to invite Sha Yi and others to go with him, but then he thought that if there were too many people, it would be too conspicuous and might cause trouble, so he didn't ask.
As for Kunpeng, since he had several broken ribs and needed to recuperate, Li Mu did not take him with him and entrusted him to Sha Yi and others to take care of him.
In the late afternoon, Li Mu finally returned to Jianyang City. At his signal, the driver took him directly to the examination room of Shengtian Academy. However, he was still a step too late. Today's assessment had ended and the gate of the Shengtian Academy examination room had been closed.
Helplessly, Li Mu could only find an inn nearby to stay in.
Before this, in order to avoid trouble, Li Mu went to the market from two days ago, found the black-hearted and daring vendor, and bought a set of clothes from this world at a high price.
Therefore, his stay in the inn went smoothly, and he did not suffer any contempt or embarrassment from the staff. Although the inn was very close to Shengtian Temple, the price of the inn had increased by more than 10 times due to the Shengtian Temple assessment period. However, there were too many people coming from all over the place to take part in the assessment at Shengtian Temple, and because Jianyang City was too large, many local people in the city had to stay near Shengtian Temple to ensure the safety of the assessment. Therefore, the inn's rooms were in short supply.
Li Mu increased the room price tenfold on top of the tenfold increase, and the clerk smiled and arranged a room for Li Mu. In this world, rich people are the boss, and the clerk naturally welcomed Li Mu, a generous tycoon. In fact, the inn was not completely full, they still had a few empty rooms, these rooms were kept here to avoid having no rooms when the children of some big men came, and secondly to earn money from tycoons like Li Mu. They didn't mind if these rooms were empty for a day or two, as long as they met a rich man, all the costs would be recovered.
Of course, the saying "If you have money, you are the boss" is also based on people of the same class. If your class is lower than the other party, then no matter how rich you are, others will look down on you. In front of high-class citizens, even if you are robbed, you have nowhere to complain and no one will pay attention to you.
However, after all, the majority of people in this world are ordinary fourth-class citizens, so the theory that "money makes you the boss" is still very popular.
After changing into ordinary clothes, Li Mu finally regained some dignity. Even so, Li Mu was still very depressed. It was a great irony that he, a great immortal of the Heavenly Dao, had to rely on a set of clothes and money to gain his dignity.
Nothing happened that night. Li Mu got up hurriedly early the next morning. After a simple breakfast at the inn, he prepared to go to the Shengtian Academy examination hall.
As soon as he walked out of the inn, Li Mu met an "acquaintance", a little girl who was tidying up a tent in the square at the entrance of the inn. Setting up tents in the square is also a way for the inn to generate income. After all, there are too many people who need to stay in the hotel, and the inn cannot meet them all. Therefore, with the tacit approval of the officials, each inn is allowed to rent out vacant space to candidates to set up tents. However, although it is an open-air venue, the price is still not cheap. The space occupied by a tent is charged the price of a normal guest room.
However, many candidates with tight financial conditions are still very happy to do so. After all, the price of a room that costs 10 times the price is really too high. If you come late, you can't even get a room that costs 10 times the price.
Seeing an acquaintance, Li Mu naturally went up to say hello. He walked up to him and said kindly, "Hello, do you remember me?"
When the little girl heard someone calling her, she stopped what she was doing and looked at Li Mu with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Who are you? Do I know you?"
Li Mu smiled bitterly, took out a folded 100-yuan note from his pocket, and reminded: "Three nights ago, in front of the bus station."
"Ah? You...you are the beggar?" The little girl was shocked.
Li Mu touched his nose and smiled helplessly: "I guess so!"
Hearing this, the little girl's breathing quickened, her face flushed red, and she angrily said, "You big liar."
The girl's name is Ning Xin. She lives in a small town far away from Jianyang City. She still remembers the night when she came to this city from a remote town. It was late at night and she was very tired after the long journey. But she saw two beggars begging for a living. She felt pity and wanted to show her love. However, she only had 100 yuan in banknotes on her, and there were two beggars. She couldn't give 100 yuan to one of the beggars and ask him to return 50 yuan and then give 50 yuan to the other beggar, right? Therefore, she could only choose to support one beggar.
One of the two beggars was standing at the exit, thanking and bowing to the endless stream of passers-by. He had made a lot of money and was very skilled in begging. He was obviously an experienced beggar. The other one was standing alone in a slightly dark corner, looking dull and helpless. It was obvious that he was a novice, doing such a thing for the first time. This made her make a decision all of a sudden. She decided to give the hundred yuan to the novice beggar and give him appropriate encouragement, hoping that her action could bring some light to the beggar and make him bravely take the first step.
These past two days, she has been wondering whether the beggar she met that night has learned how to beg. If he still can't get any money, how long can he last with the hundred yuan she gave him?
At this moment, the "new beggar" that made her worried was standing in front of her. Not only was he still living well, but he was also staying in a high-priced inn. But she, who sympathized with beggars, could only live in a tent in the square outside the inn. Isn't this a big joke? How could she not be angry? How could she not be furious?
What was this liar doing here? To humiliate her? It was really despicable. This hundred yuan might not be much for people in the city, but for a little girl like her in a remote town, it was half a month's pocket money!
The tricks of the big city were indeed too complicated for her to guard against!
