Chapter VIII Nanli

Nanli Town, located in the border area between the southern Xinjiang of the main continent and Dongtu, except for a narrow valley leading to Dongtu in the southeast, the rest of Nanli Town is surrounded by dense primeval forests. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Forests are almost all over the southern region, and tens of thousands of plants are formed into a green ocean, whenever the cold wind from Beichuan or the warm current of the eastern soil blows over this ocean, it will be flooded with boundless blue waves, just like the real sea, this is the largest forest in the main continent - Senluo Sea. Southern Xinjiang is also known as the "South China Sea".

Nanli Town is a small and medium-sized town, although it is not as good as the most prosperous town of the same size in the central part of the main continent, but after all, it is located at the junction of the two realms, and there are frequent trade exchanges all year round, and this town has a small and prosperous scene.

Although Nanli Town is not subordinate to the 36 mansions under the command of the Yang Emperor Yingxiao, the main continent starts from the East Tu Hei Coast in the east, reaches the Sunset Valley in the West in the west, reaches the 10,000-year-old Snow Mountain in the north, and encompasses almost the entire Senluo Sea in the south. Even so, some urban areas still maintain their dark side, and even override the superficial harmony to surface.

Nanli Town is located on the border between the most chaotic Eastern Soil Lawless Soil and the Southern Barbarian Forest Luohai, and naturally it also has the cheesiness of a fierce and cold-blooded philistine.

At the east gate of Nanli Town, all kinds of people shuttle here, whether it is a businessman from the east soil, or the original work that set off from Nanli, there is an endless stream in the past, from the morning light to the waning west mountain, almost all people walk through here.

And this gate is only literal, not even a door. It is basically two tall wooden stakes, and there is a plaque nailed in the middle of unknown wood, and the plaque reads "Nanli Town" three big characters. I don't know how many years it has been hanging, the card has been a little blackened, and the edges and corners have been rounded over the years.

At night to the third watch, there are few people at the east gate, perhaps because the night is so deep that it is palpitating tonight, even the moon shadow is covered by thick clouds, and it seems that even the insects and birds are holding their breath. The night was so quiet that it was permeating.

"Rustle".

Like a drop of water dripping into the mirror-like lake, there was an insignificant wave mark, which disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened, the bushes beside the road were opened, and a pair of scarlet light spots flashed into Nanli Town, and for a moment, as if nothing had happened, the east gate was still silent and heavy.

A new day rose, Nanli Town woke up from the heavy night, it seemed that the strange silence of the night made people sleep too deeply, and the next day it was extraordinarily energetic, and the noisy streets of the past became more and more noisy today, and even a little excessive.

"Stinky thing! It's you again! Stop me and don't run!"

The noisy streets were not agitated by the deafening shouting, but instead went about their own things as if they were doing their own thing. The old woman who was chattering on the door was scolding the small trader for a copper coin with a fat forked waist like a mille-feuille cake, and the small trader did not give the woman three points because of the difference between the figure of the toothpick and the rolling pin, but deliberately raised the price, and was bound to slaughter this annoying pig woman, even if she couldn't do business, she had to take advantage of a few words.

As soon as the lantern in the Qinglou was extinguished, the door opened again not long after proofing, and another group of girls pulled up the guests. All kinds of girls dressed up in flowers and branches don't care what you look like, and you dare to throw out your eyes when you smear it with thick rouge gouache. Although on the surface, these proprietresses will not do those night business in broad daylight, but this does not prevent them from hanging up the signboard of the hotel during the day to transfer another oil and water that is not cheap. The breath of copper coins is the strongest everywhere, and this may be another scene after prosperity, where profit and desire gradually eat away at people's hearts.

The population market is also crowded. Yes, although the Central Imperial City does not allow human trafficking and slaves, it is still not possible to restrict it to every city in every part of the mainland, and with the tacit consent of local high-ranking officials, as long as they are given a certain annual remuneration, this kind of trading with one eye and one eye is also allowed within an appropriate range.

A fat man with a face full of flesh was naked, a piece of silk was wrapped around his waist at will, like a rag for wiping a board, and the fat man's clothes looked fierce, it was very doubtful that the mottled dark red on the silk wrapped around his waist was the blood of some animal.

The fat man crossed his waist with one hand and kept poking the emaciated other man in front of him with the other. The emaciated man's eyes were sunken, and the stubble on his face had not yet been cleaned, like a jagged lawn gnawed by a flock of sheep. His thin body no one feels that it can withstand a finger from a fat man, and it can be overturned with a push.

"The quality of the goods sent by your host is getting worse and worse, and this time it is not even the expected amount, is our cooperation also over?"

The fat man didn't care at all whether the thin man would be knocked down by one of his fingers in the next moment, and pressed the thin man hard, and his anger became more and more vigorous.

However, the thin man didn't care at all, the corners of his mouth always hung a cynical arc, his thumbs were inserted in his belt, and his hands were hung around his waist at will, no matter how the fat man poked, the soles of his feet were always stuck in place and motionless. The thin man may have been tired of listening, so he freed up a hand on his waist, and the little finger mother plucked out his ear, hooked the fat man's head in front of him, and muttered lazily:

"Ouch...... Brother, after dealing with each other for so long, don't you all know about it? The quality is not enough to take the quantity is just our consistent style, you also know, and vice versa, this batch seems to be less, but ...... Dude, do you have a broken nose or a blocked brain?"

The thin man was next to the fat man's head but hooked the fat man's big head, the fat man's bear-like appearance was simply funny, but after hearing this, the fat man did not have the previous anger, even if he was damaged by the thin man's unclear sentence, he only tasted the meaning of the thin man.

After the thin man finished speaking, he put his hand on his waist again, leaned over, and shook his head while laughing non-stop, as if he had met a big joke. For some reason, the laughter sounded so deep, but in the midst of this hustle and bustle, it came to the ears of the people around me very clearly, and people couldn't help but shudder.

The thin man smiled very happily, but his voice was so gloomy that people not only did not feel funny, but felt inexplicable, and looking at the thin man was simply like a madman.

The fat man shuddered and automatically ignored the ugly laughter, obviously not the first time he had endured such torture. Then he turned around and walked to a group of ragged people beside him, this group of people had been brought by the thin man and others, and they had been standing in place with their heads bowed, which was the "this batch of goods" in the mouth of the fat man.

The fat man's eyes examined them one by one, and finally stopped at a little girl who was about ten years old. He came closer, his big round eyes constantly looking at the little girl, closing his eyes to feel something. The thin man looked at the fat man's appearance, his eyes were full of banter, and the ninja's tormenting laughter waited for the fat man's reaction in the next moment. After a while, the fat man suddenly opened his eyes, first looked surprised, and blurted out, "Sure enough, this is a annoying feeling!", and then laughed. Seeing this, the thin man couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed with the fat man even more presumptuously, laughing so much that tears came out.

A few people around looked at each other, watching the two of them feel anxious in their hearts.

The crowd of people who were treated as goods also lowered their heads in their hearts.

These two madmen...... It's torture.

After laughing for a while, the two stopped together, and the thin man wiped his tears and said to the fat man:

"Ouch, dude, I didn't lie to you, I believe in our host! ”

The fat man put away his smile, and he looked fierce again, and said:

"Third brother, you understand, I also live under the eaves of people, even if it is mine this time, I have the opportunity to ask you to rub it in person. ”

The thin man waved his hand, turned around and drank a few of his subordinates, and then left.

"Okay fatty, I'm not a hypocrisy, business is business, and the future will be long. ”

The fat man was not annoyed by the attitude of the thin man, and after saying goodbye, he sent a few of his men back with the group of people brought by the thin man. The thin man put his hands behind his back, and the morning light shone on his slightly lowered head, but his eyes were covered with a layer of shadows, and he couldn't see what his expression was, and there was still a wisp of banter on the corner of his mouth.

"Boom...... Tong Suo is not bullied?hehehe...... How long is it coming?"

The thin man's eerie laughter sounded softly in his throat, and the subordinates who chased after him looked at the leader in front of him, and couldn't help but feel worried and puzzled in his heart, why did the owner send this strange man to lead the team to escort this batch of laborers this time, it stands to reason that Nan Li's work is not once or twice, and there is no need to invite this big Buddha at all. But guessing is guessing, no one dares to say anything, as a subordinate, you have to have the consciousness of being a subordinate, curiosity or something, it will kill the cat.
