Chapter 185: A Two-Sided World
It's hard to imagine how much power the top manager of such a place should have, which is equivalent to buying a piece of land and creating his own hidden world.
Xu Youcai continued:
"Nine cellars are mixed, everyone has it, if you are not careful, you will be deceived and robbed and stolen, although no one dares to be presumptuous in the street, but after being targeted, it is inevitable to get into trouble after going out. ”
"So, you have to be very careful and very low-key!"
Xu Youcai reminded me solemnly and began to cough as he spoke.
I hurriedly helped him to lie down, and then asked:
"Master, how do you know about this place?"
After Xu Youcai exhaled, he said:
"Once, I was introduced by a friend to sell charms, although the money came quickly, but it really affected me to study Taoism, the environment of the Nine Cellars was complex and chaotic, and I didn't want to stay in it all the time, so I quit. ”
I went on to ask:
"No one cares about a place like Jiujiao?"
Xu Youcai smiled lightly, looked at me and said:
"You fight and kill in school all day, and no one cares?"
I was speechless when Xu Youcai said, he is an understanding person, but he just pretends not to understand many times.
Xu Youcai continued:
"There are two sides to man, and the world is not two, if you dare to step into another world, you will see the things of the new world. ”
I instantly fell into deep thought when I said this, and after half a sound, Xu Youcai waved his hand at me and said:
"Hurry up and finish what you have to do, the villagers will help me make medicine and deliver food, it's okay." ”
After speaking, Xu Youcai also took a bank card from under the pillow and handed it to me, saying:
"This is what I have saved over the years, and the password is written on the back, not much, but it should be enough for you to save in an emergency. ”
I was moved and quickly shook my head:
"No, Master, how can I accept this!"
Xu Youcai said with a smile:
"I don't have any relatives, just one of your apprentices, you haven't let me down, and I still expect to touch you in the future, it's nothing. ”
"Besides, the disappearance of your parents is not trivial, you are still so young, how can you survive alone?"
To be honest, Xu Youcai has helped me too much.
This halfway master made me feel a weight comparable to my father's.
I nodded with red eyes, Xu Youcai's words made me unable to refuse, and I really need money to continue walking now.
Although I didn't think it was appropriate, I still took the card, and then bent over to Xu Youcai deeply, and said seriously:
"Master, I won't let you down!"
Xu Youcai smiled at me lightly, and did not forget to remind me:
"Remember! Keep an eye on everything, and if you find a clue, you will come out immediately!"
I didn't want to make the atmosphere sad, so the two men cried, turned around and walked out.
Outside the ancestral hall, I walked to the stove where the medicine was boiling and looked at it, and found that there was indeed an old woman who was helping Xu Youcai to boil the medicine.
I left the ancestral hall with confidence.
With Xu Youcai's heavy bank card, I took a ride to the city again.
On the way, the morning sun has risen, and the warm sunlight is sprinkled on the body, like Xu Youcai's smile, warm ......
When I got back to the city, I first checked the location of Tavern Street, which was not too far from me.
This kind of three-regardless area is not even remote, surrounded by big hotels and shopping malls.
It only took me about 10 minutes to get on the bus before I reversed the intersection.
Today is Thursday, and there are not many pedestrians on the road at this point, except for the white-collar workers who are about to be late for work, and who are walking quickly or simply running wildly, even if they grow up, they are no different from their student days.
The storefronts on the side of the street have just opened, and they are still lazily cleaning.
I walked slowly along the side of the road, following the direction of the driver's master just now.
It's a little bit of something on the mind, and I think everyone here feels like there's something wrong.
Tavern Street, as the name suggests, is the entire street of nightclubs.
At night, the singing and dancing are leveling up, and the white sky is as empty as a ghost street.
Looking at the word Tavern Street on the roadside sign, I made sure I had made no mistake and started walking inside.
There was really no one here during the day, and there was still residue of last night's drunken vomit on the ground, and it didn't have time to clean up.
The further you go inside, the stronger the smell of alcohol becomes.
Thinking of Xu Youcai's words, I kept walking until the end of the street.
I didn't notice anything unusual along the way, and there were closed bars on both sides.
After about ten minutes, I finally saw the front and was blocked by a gate.
And on the side, there is indeed an inconspicuous narrow passage.
Excited and nervous, I walked briskly towards the narrow path.
When I was about to walk to the mouth of the road, a person suddenly came out of it.
There was no sound of footsteps, and when he came out, he bumped into my arm.
He wore a black jacket and jeans, a hat and sunglasses, his hands in his pockets, a cigarette in his mouth, and walked casually.
After bumping into me, he looked back up and down.
Because he was wearing sunglasses, he couldn't see his eyes clearly.
Unlike what I imagined, this person didn't kill me like a ruffian.
After just looking at me a few times, he quickly buried his head and continued to walk forward.
I took a deep breath, looked at the narrow passage in front of me, and slowly walked inside.
This narrow passage is estimated to be some years, and the paving on the ground is actually ancient green bricks, because people often walk, resulting in the bricks are polished and shiny.
The walls on both sides are more ancient, with faintly colorful murals on them, but they are all covered by rain and dust, and the walls have many twisted cracks.
Every eight or nine steps, there is a dark grid on the side of the wall, and in the lattice is placed an oil lamp like a bronze.
Just walking down a narrow path made me feel like I was visiting a place of interest, and made me look around like a curious baby.
As Xu Youcai said, the narrow road is only 100 meters.
Soon I was at the junction, where there was a tiny bend in the intersection, and I could clearly see the light coming in from the outside.
When I was about to walk out, I noticed a shadow on the wall, as if someone had come out of it.
I quickly stopped and leaned sideways to give way, and after a while, a smell of wine mixed with perfume wafted in.
She was wearing more than ten centimeters of high heels, her slightly curly long hair hung down her waist, her clothes were exposed, and her two long legs were crooked.
The smell of wind and dust on his face, the heavy makeup and the drunken haze, and after seeing me with his indifferent eyes, he squeezed out a professional smile.
Seeing that she was deliberately trying to pounce on me, I quickly moved my body.
The woman was drunk, and after throwing herself into the air, she pressed the snow white that burst out under her collarbone on my arm without giving up, and whispered:
"Little brother, I'm ...... Partition...... Wong Street ...... No. 98 of the Flower Mandian...... Partition...... Remember to come to me...... Cheap......"
I couldn't stand the drunken beating from her, and I couldn't speak at all, so I broke free of my arm and hurried to the intersection in front of me......
