Day 2.

I didn't see Zhao Yi early in the morning.

Gao Ran didn't bother to look for him.

"Anyway, this old man has always been like this! Whatever he wants! As long as he can show up the day after tomorrow morning before he leaves! Otherwise, ......"

Gao Ran smiled wickedly with some malice.

I thought to myself, "If he dares not to come back, then it will not be him who will leave me, but I will leave him! Hmph, if there is anything delicious or fun in the future, I will not take him with me!"

Thinking that he would not stay in Qingtan Town for a long time, he would have to leave the day after tomorrow. But she hadn't done it yet......

Ever since you arrived, there's always something to do...... As a result, the itinerary of this tour has been repeatedly delayed......

"No, if I don't take a good look around this place before leaving, then I'm no different from if I've never been here?!"

After thinking about it, Gao Ran made up her mind, before she left, she must take a good look around here!

So, after breakfast, Gao Ran led Qiao'er and Gao Xi, and the three of them went out for a walk together.

And the route of their walk was to pass by the local money bank.

Gao Ran planned to convert all the dozen or so large silver bills of one thousand taels in her pocket into small silver bills of one hundred taels, and by the way, exchange them for some broken silver.

She has thought about it, where can she use such a large amount of silver tickets in the life of ordinary people?!

I'm afraid that even if it is ten taels of silver for an ingot, it is difficult to find a store in the private sector that can have enough spare money to change immediately.

The transactions of those ordinary people on weekdays are more, and they are only transactions in the unit of "Wen" - the largest amount will generally not exceed two taels of silver......

Considering the future life, there may be more intersections with the common people, rather than living in the Tiange Inn for free that only dignitaries can afford......

Therefore, in addition to preparing some large silver tickets, which are easy to carry and in case of emergency, Gao Ran feels that it is still necessary for her to prepare a small bag of broken silver!

After all, in her practical life for a long time to come, for her, broken silver is definitely more practical than a silver ticket!

On the way to Qianzhuang, a conjecture popped up in Gao Ran's mind inexplicably: If the "Qianzhuang" of Yunxiangguo is not like the "Academy", which belongs to "state-owned institutions", I am afraid that this Qianzhuang of Yunxiangguo has already been the world of the four great families and Qiu Yueze!

Despite the different names, the way this "money bank" makes profits is still similar to that of the "bank" in Gao Ran's original world -- they all use other people's money to invest and then make a profit from it.

Therefore, Gao Ran naturally equates the "money bank" of this world with the general deposit zài of the "bank" of her original world.

"Alas, it's a pity that this money bank can't be privately owned, otherwise it ......"

When the words came to his lips, Gao Ran suddenly realized that he had almost said something terrible......

If this is heard by someone with a heart, and she is accused of "plotting rebellion", it will be troublesome!

However, even if she didn't talk about it, Gao Ran still secretly thought in her heart, in fact, she still really wanted to see Qiu Yueze and the four great families fighting in the shopping mall......

Who made their respective industries bigger and bigger, and the coverage became wider and wider?!

In this way, they will inevitably lead to some overlap in their respective fields......

Where there is overlap, there will naturally be competition.

Although I don't like that kind of armed war full of blood and gunpowder, being a bystander and quietly watching this kind of shopping mall war without gunpowder smoke has always been a major interest of Gao Ran in his previous life!

"Oh no! The laws of this world are not so mature...... Here, it doesn't seem like a person like them will take too much risk to kill someone or something......"

Aware that the technology of the world's means of preventing or detecting the crimes of criminals is still very backward, and the corresponding laws and regulations are also very imperfect, if they really start a "war......

"I really don't know how many lives will be lost!"

Talking to himself, Gao Ran unconsciously touched his neck.

That's it, this "bystander", she still doesn't want to be it!

She is afraid that she has this interest, but she may not have this life to be able to stay on the sidelines and watch quietly without being involved in it-who let her, who is not only a member of the four great families, but also has an extraordinary relationship with Qiu Yueze?!

"Hehe, it seems that like now, many industries are still in the hands of the imperial court for the time being, and it is still good......"

Gao Ran sighed a little weakly.

The three of them walked side by side all the way, but the route they took at this time, to get to Qianzhuang, still needed to turn a corner, through an alley that was a little narrow enough for an ordinary adult to walk.

The three of them didn't discuss, and when they saw this, they tacitly lined up in a vertical line and walked into the alley in turn: Gao Ran was the first, Qiao'er was the second, and Gao Xi, who knew kung fu, was the last.

It's just that as soon as he entered the alley, he didn't walk a few steps before Gao Ran smelled the scent of fat powder in the breeze......

"There doesn't seem to be a shop selling rouge gouache around here?!"

Gao Ran deliberately and quickly recalled the scenes she had seen along the way......

It is true that there were shops selling rouge gouache, but it was on the main road. And the street next to this alley is one street away from the main road!

"Hmm......" Gao Ran pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Could it be?!"

Realizing that he had unexpectedly walked to a "place" that she had never intended to see before, Gao Ran shook his head helplessly......

"That's it, I was going to avoid it, but I didn't expect to come here so coincidentally...... Then it's a 'passing by'!

Gao Ran only blamed himself for not being familiar with the terrain here, and the planning of the route was only temporary and not thoughtful......

Although she didn't ask, she didn't specifically point out where the three of them had gone at the moment, but she believed that Qiao'er and Gao Xi must have already understood!

Maybe they don't necessarily think the same thing as Gao Ran......

But at least, they all tacitly chose to be silent, and always walked quietly behind Gao Ran.

The atmosphere at this time, even if she didn't look back, Gao Ran could feel it, unless she spoke, otherwise, the two people behind her would inevitably follow her silently all the way - until she walked out of the alley!

Sensing the embarrassment of the atmosphere, Gao Ran unconsciously quickened his pace.

But just as she was about to pass by the back door of "that place", the door was suddenly opened from the inside!

Gao Ran subconsciously paused for a moment, and then planned to bypass the door and walk against the wall opposite the door - no way, this alley is too narrow, and once the door opens, only a child like her can walk against the wall.

However, Gao Ran had just bypassed the door, and was instantly hit by a man in white who quickly rushed out of the door!

The two of them fell to the ground in unison - but it was the hapless Gao Ran who was crushed below.

"Ahh

"Miss!"

Qiao'er and Gao Xi both spoke at the same time.

But where the two fell, they still blocked the door, so that Qiao'er couldn't go around the door to see them.

When Gao Xi saw it, he immediately jumped over, jumped over the door directly with light skills, and flew to the other side of the door.

"Hey, help him up! He shouldn't be able to get up on his own!"

The moment he was accidentally knocked down, Gao Ran smelled the strong smell of herbs on the person's body.

And...... In just a few seconds when he was pressed and couldn't move, Gao Ran clearly felt his hot body temperature when he kept pushing him hard......

Presumably, he must be having a high fever right now!

Gao Xi immediately helped up the person who was pressing on Gao Ran's body.

After Gao Ran stood up, she finally saw the person in front of her who suddenly knocked her down.

It turned out that the "white clothes" she saw at a hurried glance just now were not white robes, but shirts and pants that should have been worn inside the robes and worn close to the body!

However, people in this world will only wear this kind of dress when they are sleeping and in their own rooms.

Never would he walk out of the room in such blatant clothes as he did—not to mention that it was still daytime!

You must know that in the eyes of the people in this world, those who dare to walk out of the room wearing only shirts and pants are those who have no objection to Gao Ran's original world who openly "run naked"!

Even if he had escaped from "that place," he ......

Gao Ran looked carefully at the man who was supported by Gao Xi, who already needed to rely on Gao Xi completely to barely stand......

He doesn't look like he's a teenager, and it's not an exaggeration to say he's a teenager!

"Huh?!he...... Why does it look so familiar?!"

Gao Ran's intuition told her, the person in front of her must be unusual!

Otherwise, she wouldn't have felt familiar!

You must know that there are not many people in this world who can make her Gao Ran specially impressed!

But, on the contrary, these people she has to remember are all characters who are not easy to mess with......

"Who the hell is it?!"

While staring at the face of the young man in front of him, he tried to search for a face that matched him in his memory......

"Ahh

She thought of it!

Then, she frowned slightly, and after carefully looking at the young man for a while, she shook her head with some confusion, "Although it is really similar, you are not him!"

"Found it! He's at the back door!"

There was a loud shout from the door, and then, Gao Ran saw that in the door that was blocked by the young man, there was suddenly another uncle who looked like he should be in his forties and looked five big and three thick.

"Oh, that's a rarity! I finally saw a man who looked 'normal'!"

Since coming to this other world, the men Gao Ran has seen, including Zhao Yi, who is now in his eighties, are all "beautiful men" who are outstanding in terms of facial features.

Compared with the countless "beautiful men" here, the general appearance of women is much more "ordinary" - at least, compared with the general appearance of women in Gao Ran's original world, it is basically the same.

Take Gao Ran herself as an example, her appearance was considered to be in the middle in the original world, and in this world, among women, she is still only in the middle and upper.

However, if you compare it with the men in this world: if the average average of men here is "100 points", then her appearance can only be "75 points" at most......!

This phenomenon once made Gao Ran think that the people here were actually very similar to the "peacocks" in her original world - the genes of beautiful men were selected more because they were more in line with the aesthetics of women here, and then passed down from generation to generation and retained......

Gao Ran even thought for a while that people in this world had multiplied until now, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to find a man with an "ordinary" appearance - because that kind of gene was likely to have been eliminated!

Moreover, this kind of "beautiful" gene seems to only be passed on to men and not to women......

But she didn't think that at this moment, she unexpectedly saw an uncle who not only looked really "ordinary", but also had an "ordinary" figure - really like the general appearance of those forty-odd market uncles in her original world!

So, the moment he saw the ugly uncle who might be regarded as "not good-looking" in this world, Gao Ran actually had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with him......

For a moment, she thought she was finally back in her original world!

However, in a trance, it was only for a moment......

"Help me!"

The young man suddenly spoke, in his already weak voice, quietly, but with all his might, a plea for help to Gao Ran.

Because they were standing opposite each other, the two were only one step apart, and the young man's faint cry for help could be heard clearly by Gao Ran!

"Wait!"

Before Gao Ran could think about it, the moment she heard the young man cry for help from her, she opened her mouth to stop the ugly uncle's action - he was planning to snatch the young man from Gao Xi's arms and take him away.

When Gao Xi heard Gao Ran's order, he immediately stopped Uncle Ugly's actions, took the boy to the spot, and took him away from Uncle Ugly at least two meters away.

It was also Gao Xi's move that made Uncle Ugly instantly understand that the two people in front of him were not easy to mess with!

And at this time, a large number of people came behind the ugly uncle.

Looking at their dresses, Gao Ran knew that they were all subordinates who did rough work - those who could really call the shots had not yet appeared!

"I'll take this boy first! If you have any questions, you can come to the 'Heavenly Pavilion Inn' to find me these two days. My name is Gao Ran. ”

Gao Ran specially put the words "Tiange Inn" very seriously.

Then, she glanced at Gao Xi, Gao Xi nodded at her knowingly, and left with the young man's light skills.

Seeing that the people had gone away, Gao Ran took out two ingots and ten taels of silver from his arms that he was going to take to the money village to exchange for broken silver, and stuffed them into the ugly uncle.

"That's a little bit of that on my mind. Take it and divide it! Don't worry, it won't embarrass you. All you have to do is tell your master that people have been taken away by my Gao Ran, and if he wants someone, come to the 'Heavenly Pavilion Inn' and ask for me! However, I will only stay here for two days, and I will leave the day after tomorrow! Therefore, if he wants to find me, he must be fast! Otherwise, he will not wait!"

Knowing that Gao Ran is not easy to mess with, and he can live in the Tiange Inn, his background is definitely not ordinary......

Uncle Ugly weighed the twenty taels of silver in his hand......

Although the amount is not much, the "weight" is very heavy......

"That's it! We can't afford to provoke this kind of person, so let's let the master solve it himself!

After thinking about it quickly, Uncle Ugly accepted the twenty taels of silver that Gao Ran gave him very wisely, and then turned around and dispersed the group of people behind him, and by the way, he also consciously closed the back door again - he was signaling Gao Ran, he would deal with the rest, and she could go.

"Miss!"

Qiao'er, who has been blocked on the other side of the door since just now, can finally see Gao Ran now!

She hurriedly rushed forward, grabbed Gao Ran's arm tightly, and looked left and right.

"Okay! I'm fine!

"Really?!"

"Really!"

Gao Ran raised his hand and touched Qiao'er's hair with some pampering, "Let's go! Let's go to Qianzhuang first, and then go back to the inn directly." ”

"Oh. Qiao'er unconsciously raised her hand to touch the hair she had just been touched by Gao Ran, and replied casually before she came back to her senses.

Then, she reflexively followed Gao Ran and walked silently.

But in my mind, I couldn't get rid of one thought: "Why is Miss getting more and more strange?!"
