Chapter 10 Night Market Experience
The deep night sky is like a black curtain, dotted with countless bright stars, like sprinkled gems, gradually converging into a brilliant river. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was the first time Rob had seen such a clear sky, and he tried to find the constellations he knew among the stars, but he found nothing, instead he saw two moons, one large and one small, exuding light blue and lilac, overlapping each other, which made him understand that this was really not the earth.
In such a bright starlit night, the nine ruins under the night sky swept away the dead silence of the day, and among the lush grass and chaotic trees and vines around, there were countless unknown insect chirpings one after another, as if a grand symphony was being held.
However, what caught Rob's attention the most was the giant shadow that hung across the night sky.
In the daytime, this shadow is already very noticeable, and at night, as the night falls on the ground, the lights above can be seen on the ground, dotted with stars, flickering from time to time, two lights outlining the shadows, extending to the end of the sky, as if a stroke of genius, drawing two parallel arcs in the sky.
It was also under this light, in the night, that Rob and Baimei walked on the broken streets.
On both sides of the street, there were dark and lifeless houses, and the strange shapes and thick winding vines that I had seen in the daytime became eerie at night, under the cover of darkness.
All kinds of collapsed and broken signs and railings, climbing and winding heavy vines, sticking out to block the road, occasionally in the darkness there will be a pair of shining eyes, frightened, fluttering wings, screaming into the sky.
At this time, the two of them were on their way to the night market that Bai Mei mentioned, because Rob looked up at the shadow in the sky from time to time, and saw that he seemed to be very interested in it, and the topic was naturally placed on it.
So, he learned that the huge shadow was called the mirror ring, and that there lived on it a race that sounded very unscientific to him—the demon race.
“…… What does the demon patriarch look like?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it, but my eldest sister has seen it, and I heard that they are the same as us, but the flare on their bodies is more obvious than our human ones!"
Flare is another term I have never heard of.
“…… I remember reading this book before, saying that in the past, humans and demons were still allies! Fight against demons together, but then for what reason turned against each other, and fought for more than a hundred years, I don't remember, if you are interested in these, you can go to Jinsi, she likes to read, and there is a small library!"
I'm going, there's another demon here? Aren't there any dwarves, elves, and giants? What kind of world is this?
Rob secretly slandered himself in his heart, feeling that the more he listened, the more mysterious he became, but he was quite moved by Bai Mei's proposal for the last sentence, he was basically blind to this world now, and he urgently needed to know what kind of world this was.
The two walked unhurriedly, Rob was not in a hurry to go to any night market, but was very interested in the demon clan on the mirror ring, so he continued to chat with Bai Mei on this topic.
“…… Although the appearance of the demon race and us humans is not much different, it is said that because the flare on the body surface is born to appear, unlike us humans who have to be induced by medicine, so as soon as they are born, they have a strong strength activity, and the fit with the demon armor is naturally higher than that of us humans, if it weren't for their small number and difficult fertility, I'm afraid they would have surpassed us humans and wanted to rule us. ”
To tell the truth, is the magic weapon the abbreviation? Or something else? Rob hasn't figured it out yet, and now that there is another demon armor, he is even more confused.
As he was talking, he suddenly saw some lights in the distance, which was especially rare in this ruined city.
"It's a night market, it starts at 7 p.m. every night and doesn't close until 3 a.m. It is closed during the day. If you're idle at night, you can come here to have fun, but remember, the later it gets, the more dangerous it is outside, so it's best not to spend the night outside, or you won't blame anyone for dying. ”
As we get closer, more lights can be seen.
This is a street market built out of the ruins, and the concrete road on the ground has been carefully repaired, although it still looks broken, but it is smoother than other places, at least it can walk normally, and it will not be high in the east and low in the west.
However, the houses on both sides are still in a dilapidated and primitive state wrapped in vines, probably because they don't have the time to clean up, but this does not prevent the people here from simply cleaning up the façade facing the street, and dare to put goods in it and do some small business.
An electric lamp came out of it with wires and hung at the door, which not only served as a street lamp, but also illuminated the façade of the store.
Rob walked beside Bai Mei, looking at the shops on both sides of the street with interest.
He found that most of these shops did not have signboards, and occasionally there were, and the signboards were extremely simple and strange, so that he didn't react at first, until he saw a rag with an iron word written on it, inserted in the door to the wind, and then remembered what he saw before, those hanging at the door, meaningless rotten stone piers, rusty iron sheets, or folding signs, etc., should be the signboards of those shops, and it is estimated that they also play a role in identification.
To be honest, this place is called a night market, which is really a bit unworthy of the name, with the night markets he has seen, even the most ordinary, the most obscure night market, the flow of people is also bustling, so lively, and here, except for some strange people in strange clothes and fluffy hair walking sporadically on the street, there is no more, it is really cold and pitiful.
After following Bai Mei for a while, he found that this night market street is actually quite large, occupying at least two or three streets, but the shops at the intersection are relatively scarce, and after arriving inside, there are more people.
Among these pedestrians, the majority are men, but occasionally women can be seen wearing cheongsams, and this signature dress is supposed to be a member of the dark moon.
Some of them walked on the street, hugged and hugged men, kissed me and me, and some stood on the side of the road to talk and chat, and their crisp laughter was particularly eye-catching, causing a lot of hot eyes to scan up and down their bodies, but they didn't care, but threw all kinds of winks outward.
This kind of situation can also be seen in some dark and remote places in Rob's original world, so he almost doesn't have to guess, he understands what these women do, and seeing Bai Mei's strange appearance, he also knows that this is probably one of the businesses that Dark Moon operates on this night market street.
It is not easy for women to survive, but in the ruins, it is even more difficult, he naturally won't say anything about this, but he can't understand why the woman of the dark moon wants to leave the so-called big city in Bai Mei's mouth, and prefer to survive in the impossible area of Jiuxu? Could it be that the living environment of the big city is even worse than that of Jiuxu?
As we gradually entered the hinterland of the night market, there were more shops on both sides.
There are clothing shops with semi-finished or finished clothes sewn from various hides and fabrics.
There are taverns, where there are those who sit alone and drink silently, and there are also those who sit together in groups of three or five, shouting and shouting for the order, and the noise of this street is most likely supplied by them, and beyond that, there is the jingling, rhythmic and monotonous sound of iron.
Such a shop, needless to say, is naturally a blacksmith shop, with a red-hot stove at the door, and the person in charge of striking iron is generally two people, **** upper body, holding a large and a small hammer, cooperating with each other, taking turns to hammer, sparks, so lively.
If you look further, you can see that the shelves in the store are full of cold weapons such as swords, shields, and axes, as well as some stones piled up in a small mountain, which are supposed to be ores.
In addition to these shops that can be seen at a glance, what makes Rob most curious are some stores with trapezoidal shelves and some large and small, bottles and cans.
Often when passing by such a storefront, he can smell a faint, intelligible smell of incense or stink, which makes him wonder if this kind of store is similar to a Chinese medicine store, selling plants and herbs, right?
Thinking like this in his heart, he glanced at Bai Mei who was walking in front, and said in his heart that he had probably asked a lot of very common sense questions before, and if he wanted to doubt, he would have started to doubt it a long time ago, and now it is not bad. So he took a few steps and caught up with Bai Mei.
"Sister Baimei!" he asked, "What are these shops selling with jars?"
Bai Mei shook the fluffy fan and said without looking back: "Those are those who sell inducing liquid." Why? You don't even know that?"
"What's the inducement liquid?" Rob is a broken jar, anyway, he has already asked, so he just asked clearly.
"Inducible fluids are used to induce flares that are hidden on our body surface. Bai Mei didn't seem to be too lazy to ask Rob about the question that he didn't even know about common sense, so she answered him directly.
Flares......
Rob glanced at a shop that sold inducing liquid, he urgently needed to improve his strength at the moment, but he came through time, and he didn't know if he had the flare on him as Bai Mei said, and if so, he didn't know if this inducement liquid would work on him.
He frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is this inducing liquid very expensive?" Whether it has any effect or not, it is useless to just think about it, you can only know if you try it.
Bai Mei glanced at him, and Shi Shiran said, "What? Do you want to buy it?"
"Uh, there's an idea!"
When it comes to this, it's actually no different from confession.
