Chapter 1096: The Fallen Sibu City
Tang Xie could see it from Chen Xiacai's eyes.
This old man is an old man with a story.
It can be seen from the constipated and painful expression on his face. ,
This story is certainly a tragedy.
But why do you feel happy in your heart?
Tang Xie said secretly: "Old man Chen, you cry all day and are pitiful, and there are times when you are really pitiful today!" He really wanted to take all the spars on his body and change it to a video recorder to record Chen Xiacai's current expression.
"Ha ......"
Chen Xia Cai often sighed and said, "Let's go to a tavern in the city and sit down and talk slowly." ”
"Good. ”
Tang Xie nodded in agreement.
When he was about to reach the city gate, Tang Xie smelled the stench of waste water and saw that there was dirty black water flowing out of an outlet in the city wall.
The surrounding area of more than 200 meters is not weededs, and wild trees are withered.
Tang Xie didn't expect that there would also be wastewater pollution in the Holy Domain, but fortunately there was no haze.
The name of the city is Putrajah.
Even the guards at the city gate were dressed brightly, and through the city gate, you could already see the cloth shops along the street.
Chen Xiacai said with a smile: "In the past, this city was very prosperous. In the past, a kind of cloth was sold, and the fabric was woven from ice silkworms, and for hundreds of years, only Putrajaya was available for sale, and the quality was the best. Business travelers from all over the world come here to buy. So, its name is Putrajaya. This fabric can withstand high flame burns. Many alchemists like to wear it. ”
Tang Xie looked at the dilapidated city wall, and no one repaired it when the southwest corner collapsed, and asked with a wry smile, "What now?"
Chen Xiacai squatted down, stroked a weed on the side of the road, and sighed, "Later, the ice silkworm was wantonly hunted and killed by the martial artists of the Medicine King Valley and other sects. and caught up with the appearance of the natural predator Xuanyu. The amount of silk is getting smaller and smaller. It is no longer possible to supply the needs of customers. In addition to this cloth, Tianhongma is also out of stock. With no cloth in Sipujaya, there were fewer business trips to and fro, and many cloth houses went bankrupt. Back then, our Chen family was also one of them. ”
Tang Xie suddenly thought that there were two kinds of immortal recipes in the Medicine King Valley, one was the three-grade immortal prescription "Ice Silk Pill", and the key to the finished product was the ice silkworm. There is also a four-grade immortal prescription "fire poison pill", which uses heavenly red hemp, and the amount is very large.
These two kinds of immortal recipes Tang Xie also have them, and he has seen people selling them at a very high price.
The Valley of the Medicine King made a profit from this, but it also blocked the resources of Sipujaya.
Without resources, cities can only slowly decline.
Tang Xie asked, "So, did Mr. Chen join the beggar gang?"
"I ......"
Chen Xiacai shook his head again and again, and sighed: "I was very uncompetitive back then, I was blown out by them! Back then, my younger brother said that if I dared to step into these four Putrajaya half a step, he would kill me with his own hands." ”
Tang Xie said: "What a big feud this is, to make trouble until brothers kill each other." ”
"My life is miserable, and I can't explain it in a word. ”
Chen Xiacai sighed and said, "If it weren't for the years I spent in prison, I found that I have such a deep attachment to my hometown. I don't think I'll ever come back in my life. ”
Seeing that he looked very pitiful, Tang Xie sighed in his heart, and asked, "Haven't you been in contact with your family all these years? Maybe your brother doesn't hate you anymore?"
"How dare you!"
Chen Xiacai pursed his lips and said, "You kid is too slippery, now talk to me so much, you can even save money for wine." ”
"You're so hungry, okay, let's go in first. ”
Tang Xie stroked his forehead and raised his feet and walked towards the city.
The gate guards did not stop the two and charged a fee to enter the city. They didn't even check the Sanctuary Order for the two of them.
Nowadays, there are not many people in Putrajaya, and if there is any more charge, I am afraid that no one will enter the city.
The main road in the city is paved with bluestone, and the surface has long been polished and smooth.
There are not many people on the road, occasionally in twos and threes, but they also walk with their heads down. Some people's clothes are obviously old, but they want to be dyed in bright colors. It may have something to do with Putrajaya's customs.
There are sewers on both sides of the bluestone road, and the domestic sewage of the shops on both sides is directly discharged into it and flows down the waterway to the outside of the city.
The strange smell that Tang Xie smelled outside the city was coming out of the sewers.
Chen Xiacai walked and stopped, observing the buildings on both sides, sighing and sighing from time to time.
Fortunately, the changes in the city are not too great, and the streets can bring back his memories. If you go to the earth, the development of large cities will change by one decade.
Chen Xia Cai has been away from home for seventy or eighty years, even if he has been away from home for twenty years, he still can't touch the north when he returns to the city.
"It's this Blue Ocean Tavern, I can't think of it again!"
Chen Xiacai pointed to a stone house on the right side of the road in front of him, very excited.
The stone house has only one floor, and there are four jars of wine under the eaves outside, and there is a noisy sound and the smell of wine inside.
Chen Xiacai pulled Tang Xie to the tavern, and the hall was full of people, because the weather was hot, many people were naked.
It's not just men.
Chen Xia Cai frowned when he saw Tang Xie, and said, "The folk customs here are relatively strong, and if there are girls who like men, they will also pursue them very boldly." When I was younger, I was more handsome, and I had four or five girls with me. Later, the business of the cloth village could not continue, and there was no money to support them. ”
Tang Xie saw him recall, his face was intoxicated, and he stroked his forehead again.
It seems that the folk customs here are not only strong, but also aesthetically problematic.
Not only does the beggar have a collapsed nose, but this face is also a bit exaggeratedly long. The chin poked forward like a shovel.
Tang Xie said: "Old Chen, your family must have been very rich before. ”
"That's it!"
Chen Xia Cai is very proud.
Tang Xie suddenly realized that money can indeed lower the aesthetic standards of many women.
At this time, a white and tender palm gently rested on Tang Xie's shoulder, and he heard a light and pleasant voice and asked, "What do you want to drink, I invite you." ”
Tang Xie turned around, and there was a woman standing in front of him.
She was young, with picturesque eyebrows, a pale cyan dress, and a long whip pinned to her waist. The whip has a strange pattern and is inlaid with seven-colored stones.
Seeing the woman appear, the loud shouting in the tavern gradually subsided.
Many men looked at Tang Xie with jealousy and envy in their eyes, but more of them were pitiful.
It seems that being favored by this woman is a more terrifying thing.
"Thank you. ”
Tang Xie smiled and said, "I still have a lot of money on me." After speaking, he took out two first-grade spars and put them on the table, and said, "It's enough to buy wine, what do you want to drink, I can invite you." ”
The woman in Tsing Yi shook her head with a smile, and said very domineeringly: "You can give the money to this boss and see if he dares to accept it."
Behind the counter, the slightly chubby middle-aged boss said with a smile: "Two guests, the eldest lady invites you, what you want to drink, what you eat, order whatever you want." "Apparently, he was scared of the girl.
The woman in Tsing Yi sat on Tang Xie's side with satisfaction. A scantily clad female clerk came over and asked Tang Xie what he wanted to eat.
Chen Xiacai was very greedy for Tang Xie's affair, touched his face, thought that he was much younger now, and asked cheekily: "Girl, don't you invite me to dinner? I'm his friend." ”
