Chapter 18, The City of the South Wind

This is the first time Chen Zhiyuan has stepped into the South Wind City in the true sense, and it is also the first time he has seen the difference between the South Wind City and Qingshui Town.

The streets of Nanfeng City are much wider than those in Qingshui Town, and the roads are all paved with bluestone slabs.

The shops in Nanfeng City are lined up one after another, a long commercial street is endless, and there are a lot of pedestrians coming and going.

The scale of the shops is also much larger than that of Qingshui Town, and a casual shop is almost on top of two small shops in Qingshui Town, and there are many more things sold in the shops, and many things placed on the stalls are something that Chen Zhiyuan has never seen.

The smell in the air is also very different, it's just that after a corner, the fragrance of all kinds of food on the street will go straight to your nose, Chen Zhiyuan's gluttony is about to be hooked out, but unfortunately there is not a single copper leaf in his pocket, oh, now Chen Zhiyuan doesn't even have a pocket.

Licking his mouth, Chen Zhiyuan pulled Brother Baozi and just wanted to ask, but looking at Brother Baozi with a smirk on his face, Chen Zhiyuan suddenly realized that it was probably in vain to ask, so he closed his open mouth again.

There is no way, now the conditions do not allow it, so I can only be a beggar for a while for the time being.

With Chen Zhiyuan's vision of serving in the inn for many years, in fact, it was only one year, and Chen Zhiyuan quickly found a relatively better location. There are not many people, but there are a lot of them, but there are many fewer people in comparison, and the most important thing is that this place is full of restaurants and inns, Chen Zhiyuan knows very well that people who come to these places to eat and live must have a much greater chance of giving rewards than people who don't come to these places.

After finding a broken bowl, Chen Zhiyuan pulled Brother Baozi to sit down in a shady place, put the bowl in front of him, and began his life as a beggar.

At the beginning, the people who came and went pointed at Chen Zhiyuan, after all, Brother Baozi was obviously a problem with his brain, and everyone had no opinion if he came out to beg, and how could the people around here not know that a fool who could only eat steamed buns was by their side?

However, after a few people came to contact Chen Zhiyuan, they let them beg here. Without him, because after contact, they can also be sure that Chen Zhiyuan is also a problematic, but fortunately, his brain is still clear, no wonder two people with problems will come to this place, it turns out that one of them is not so sick.

Laissez-faire is laissez-faire, pitiful is pitiful, but to give money is another matter. No one's money is blown by the wind, so why should it be given to you like this? It is a favor to reward you with a bite to eat, and it is your duty not to give you a bite to eat, and to drive you away, that is the law that should have been, after all, it is indeed unsightly for two beggars to beg in such a place.

At the end of the day, Chen Zhiyuan and the others only got a dozen copper leaves, but fortunately, there was still a kind person who brought them a meal, which was a basket of buns wrapped in paper, Chen Zhiyuan counted it, seven, exactly one cage.

Four for Brother Baozi and three for himself, Chen Zhiyuan divided it very simply. It's not that Chen Zhiyuan doesn't want to eat, but because he feels that he should at least change Brother Baozi's life from now on, and now that he is not in a hurry, it is time to fulfill his promise.

Brother Baozi didn't think about it so much, he happily grabbed as many as Chen Zhiyuan gave him, and after eating two, the remaining two were hidden in his clothes, looking at Chen Zhiyuan and smirking.

Chen Zhiyuan secretly scolded "old fox", but looking at Brother Baozi's smiling face, he couldn't help laughing. Well, if you hide it all, then if I don't hide it, I won't be a brother. Chen Zhiyuan ate two buns and hid the rest of them.

As night fell, the streets were still bustling, the smell of the restaurants was stronger, the lanterns of every house were lit up, and the sky seemed to be unable to dampen the enthusiasm of the people.

But this is not good news for Chen Zhiyuan, after begging for money for a day, or half a day, Chen Zhiyuan already feels tired, and it is dark, he also needs to find a place to rest. Now Chen Zhiyuan is still an injured patient, although his body is not injured, but the injury in his brain is still serious.

"Big brother, it's getting dark, it's time for us to go home, where is our house?" Chen Zhiyuan saw that it was already completely dark, and then thought about the place in the slum, eighty percent of them were lit up, and it was almost time to go back, and tomorrow we would see how much recovery there would be.

Brother Bao seemed to understand Chen Zhiyuan's words, put away his smirk, turned around and pulled Chen Zhiyuan towards the direction of the slum.

Chen Zhiyuan guessed correctly, the slums are very obvious compared to the downtown area at this time, the slums at this time are dark, and they can only rely on the light of the lights in the distance to find their way, and Chen Zhiyuan also saw some people walking sneakily on the road, and when they saw others looking over, they hurriedly covered their faces and ran away.

The prosperity of the big city can hardly hide the poverty in the night, Chen Zhiyuan can probably guess what these people do, and he can't help but think of the same scene he saw when he was in Qingshui Town. It's just that although the stealing comes quickly, when someone catches it, the hands and feet are also broken quickly.

Obviously, the poorest place is in the countryside, but the people in the countryside never worry about starvation, and everyone lives quietly like this. On the contrary, the more developed the place, although there are more rich people, there are more poor people.

Chen Zhiyuan had seen people starving to death in Qingshui Town, and he was so thin that he couldn't figure it out at that time, could anyone still starve to death in this world? Obviously, when he and his parents were in the countryside, they didn't earn as much money as he did in the inn all year round, but life was still delicious.

Now Chen Zhiyuan understands that it is not that they are lazy and don't want to earn, but that they are confined to this place like he is now. If you don't have money, you won't be able to buy food, and if you want to make money, you have to be able to prove that you are a useful person.

It is impossible to go back to the countryside, not to mention whether you can run back to the countryside without starving to death, but first of all, where will you go back to the countryside where will you get the fields to plant? Where will you get the houses to live in? Doesn't it take time to farm? By the time you have planted the fields and harvested them, you will have starved to death several times.

This is the world, and sometimes this is how the other side of it is shown naked in front of you, do you accept it, or do you choose to change?

Chen Zhiyuan felt a little lucky, at least he had a bun brother who saved him, an old man who saved him, and a Luo gang leader who saved him. Now he has the ability to change, he doesn't want to beg for two people to die in the future, he has the ability and willingness to change, then all this will be different.

The night in the city of Southwind is lively, but the night in the slums is quiet. It's a quiet long night, although the place is not very good, Brother Baozi's home is a small tent built with a few sticks and rags, and it also has the unique rancid smell of Brother Baozi.

Not a big problem. Chen Zhiyuan thought about it, let's do this for the time being, and when I recover, I will tidy up the place where I live first, and then take Brother Baozi to wash it up, the bathhouse may not be allowed to enter, so find a river to wash. Finally, get a new outfit and find a job that can earn money. Of course, these are all later words, Chen Zhiyuan lay on the ground and fell asleep deeply.

In the dream, Chen Zhiyuan saw that he was holding a sword in his left hand and a knife in his hand, wearing a golden crown on his head, wearing treasure armor, and stepping on two streamers on his feet.

Chen Zhiyuan fought in and out of the Lin family's territory, but no one could resist him face to face.

Soon, Chen Zhiyuan saw the Lin Zhiyi who grabbed him, and also saw the old man who searched for his soul, cutting Lin Zhiyi with his left hand, and cutting off an old man with a black heart with his right hand, and then with a turn of his hands, a row of countless talismans flew out of the cuffs, and the huge Lin family turned into ruins in this continuous "boom" sound.

Chen Zhiyuan flew in the air and laughed a few times, and flew away in a dashing manner, hiding his merit and fame.

This smile tugged Chen Zhiyuan's nerves, and he was soon woken up by pain. In the dark night, the young man held his head and wailed silently, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

I don't know when, Brother Baozi also woke up, seeing Chen Zhiyuan like this, Brother Baozi was a little overwhelmed, touched all over his body and found two crumpled buns, carefully placed them in front of Chen Zhiyuan, and whispered in his mouth: "Eat, eat, eat, you eat, Baozi, it doesn't hurt." ”

But seeing that Chen Zhiyuan didn't react to the buns in front of him, Brother Baozi didn't know what to do for a while, and after thinking about it, Brother Baozi slowly leaned over, patted Chen Zhiyuan's back gently, and said, "Baozi, don't cry, eat steamed buns......"
