Chapter 11 The First Dart of Life

The old man looked at Cang Yi and saw that he was just a new handyman, so he waved his hand helplessly and said, "Oh, you can't help with this."

Cang Yi couldn't suppress his curiosity and continued to ask, "Uncle, just talk to me." Even if I can't help you, at least I can find someone to talk to. In this way, you will feel better!"

When the old man thought about it, he stayed anyway, and it was okay to talk to this young man. So he sighed and said, "Well, it's not a big deal, but no darts bureau is willing to accept my list."

It's even more strange to hear about Cang Yi. Looking at the old man's appearance, he doesn't look like an unreasonable person, and from his identity, it is unlikely to propose a task that is too difficult to complete. How can there be no bodyguard bureau? It made the old man anxious like this.

Cang Yi asked more curiously, "Old uncle, what kind of task do you have? How can you not accept all the darts bureaus?"

The old man continued, "You don't know anything. I have a little daughter who married a family in the Western Regions three years ago. After three years, she is really homesick and helpless. It is too far away from his hometown, and she has to go through a large desert. How can she easily come back to a poor family like us? My little daughter usually likes to drink tea from our town. As his father, since you can't let her go home once, at least let him satisfy his homesickness! However, even this request can't satisfy me, the old man. With that, the old man became more excited and cried more sadly.

This made Cang Yi more and more strange. He said, "Isn't that right? Isn't it just to send some tea? This is a small matter. Why didn't anyone answer? Uncle, don't worry, wait for me to go in and ask you. With that, Cang Yi walked into the dart bureau to find the shopkeeper.

After seeing the shopkeeper, Cang Yi asked eagerly, "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry, there is something that I think is incredible. Can I ask you?"

Cang Yi has been performing well in the dart bureau, so the shopkeeper is also very kind to him. He replied happily, "It's a good thing to like to ask questions. Is there anything you don't understand?"

Cang Yi was not polite and said directly, "I saw an old man at the door. He said she wanted to send a bag of tea to his daughter in the Western Regions. Why is there no bodyguard for this little thing? It made the old man cry so sadly."

After listening, the shopkeeper immediately understood who Cang Yi was talking about. He sighed helplessly and said, "It seems that you, a young man, are quite kind-hearted. In fact, we are also very embarrassed about this matter. Normally, the darts bureau will not easily refuse the darts, which will greatly affect the reputation of our darts bureau. But no dartsman is willing to take on this task.

Cang Yi continued to ask with curiosity, "Why, did he give too little money?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, "The value of his tea is just two silver coins, but he paid us a silver coin. According to the ratio of 10 to 1 of our darts bureau, he really gave a lot. And if the bodyguard bureau is really willing to accept it, he will promise to add 30 more copper coins.

"Since they have given so much, why hasn't anyone answered it yet?"

The shopkeeper continued: "It seems that you really don't know how difficult it is to go to the Western Regions. That needs to cross the Muge Desert, and no one wants to pass through that desert. If you want to transport goods to the Western Regions, unless there is a large amount of goods, we will form a huge caravan together, which is worth a visit. However, no merchant is willing to do business with the Western Regions, so it is impossible to form a huge caravan. Do you think his task is a difficult problem?

Hearing these words, Cang Yi immediately realized, but he also had his own ideas. The biggest difference between him and others is that he has a strong ability to survive in the wilderness. As long as there are no high-level beasts on this road, it's just a matter of food and water, he can't worry about it. So he asked the shopkeeper this question about the beast.

The shopkeeper touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Well, this? People don't want to go to that kind of place where they don't pee, and other animals don't like it either. It's not easy to see one or two living animals there. As for the fierce beasts, it is basically impossible to appear.

Hearing this, Cang Yi immediately said happily, "That's good. I know I'm not qualified to be a bodyguard. But no one really wants to go to that place. I don't know if I can make an exception? You think the old man is so sad."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper was extremely surprised. He looked up and down at Cang Yi and said, "Are you kidding? How many days have you been in the darts bureau? Qualification is not the most important thing. The key is that I know you will die there. How can I not stop you?

Cang Yi knew that the darts bureau would definitely not give him other tasks. He couldn't stand it if he had to spend a year slowly like this, so he was determined to take this task next. After a long time of good talk, the shopkeeper really agreed. After all, the profession of the head of the darts bureau has created such people, and they don't care much about people's lives. In their eyes, they can only receive as much business as possible.

Such a small task is actually not profitable for the Dart Bureau, but it is very important for reputation. It is said that the Tianxing Dart Bureau does not want benefits and is willing to take on such a small and dangerous task, so the good reputation of the Dart Bureau has become great.

Because of this, the shopkeeper is happy to have a silly boy like Xiang Cang Yi to take over such a task. He was still very happy and said to Cang Yi, "It doesn't matter whether the task is completed or not. The key is to protect your personal safety. If you feel that you really can't go any further halfway, come back. Don't worry, the employer's loss will be compensated by the darts bureau.

Cang Yi received his first dart master task in his life, and naturally he was also very happy. He nodded his head.

The shopkeeper calculated the account again and continued, "Well then. Our dart bureau is not going to make money for this dart. The money given by the employer belongs to you. In addition, I can record 30 points for this dart. With so many merits, a trainee guard will be greedy! Are you satisfied?"

Cang Yi didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so generous that he would give him all the rewards. As a small handyman, what else can he say and even said, "I'm satisfied."

Both of them reached a consensus with satisfaction. The shopkeeper also reminded Cang Yi, "Oh, by the way, the employer said that he could pay the fee before the task was completed. I don't think you have any weapons yet. You can't do it. You'd better take the money to buy a weapon first. In addition, considering that the cost of this mission is too low, it is impossible for the Dart Bureau to rent you a mount, so it can only rent a camel pig for you. I hope you don't mind."

Cangyi was very satisfied with such a harvest. Of course, he didn't mind and replied happily, "I know the shopkeeper. Don't worry, I will finish the task smoothly. If there's nothing else, I'll go first."

The shopkeeper also nodded with satisfaction.

Cang Yi jumped to the old man in front of the door. The old man is still crying.

Seeing the old man's sad appearance, Cang Yi couldn't wait to say to the old man, "Old man, you don't have to be sad. I have agreed with our shopkeeper, and let me pick up your dart!"

The old man couldn't believe his ears. He stared at Cang Yi, "Young man, aren't you kidding me, are you?"

Cang Yi said with a smile, "How is this possible? If you don't believe it, you can go in and see our shopkeeper now, and you will be at ease after completing the formalities.

"Hey!" Although the old man was still a little skeptical, he still walked into the dart bureau with incomparable excitement.
