Chapter 53: A Chance to Pick Up
I checked the other things in the baggage, and there were only a few taels of silver. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Dai Yan originally fantasized about whether there would be a blood book + cheats or something like that, but I don't know what kind of murder tragedy is hidden behind this child, a shocking conspiracy.
Apparently he was overthinking.
This is just an abandoned baby from an ordinary family.
This otherworld is similar to ancient China, and the phenomenon of abandoned babies is very common.
Parents, baby girls, sick babies, freaks, illegitimate children, etc., may all be abandoned.
In the county seat plus the suburbs, thousands of households, this kind of thing happens every few days.
People who are in a hurry in the early hours of the morning are easy to bump into.
"Some people don't want children, but some people try to kidnap children, the way of the world." Dai Yan shook his head.
Gritting his teeth, he picked up the baby and walked towards the city gate.
At the gate of the city stood two men in strong suits, judging from the color of their clothes, they belonged to different forces.
In most areas of the Near Moon Realm, there is no so-called "official government", and it is the Xiuzhen sect, family, or gang that maintains order.
The two men interrogated Dai Yan a few words, and after collecting a tael of silver for the toll, they let him into the city.
Dai Yan found an early shop and bought goat's milk for the baby to drink, and finally stopped his (her) crying.
"Boss, I want to inquire about which area of the city is easier to find work, and the gangs there are more close to the people?" Dai Yan tossed for a long time before he had time to busy himself with his own business.
"The word 'close to the people' sounds quite fresh, haven't you ever read a book?" The boss glanced at Dai Yan a few times, "But you asked this question badly." β
"Would you like to ask the boss for advice?"
"On the territory of the mild-mannered gangs, the scattered men are all vying to get there, so it is not easy to find a job there, you are new to the city, and if you want to find an errand, I am afraid that you will have to go to a dangerous place." The boss said in a pitiful tone.
"Yes, yesterday there was a rush on the streets in the south of the city, and more than a dozen people were hacked to death and injured to see the excitement, and it is estimated that the shops over there are short of people." There was a strange voice next to him.
Dai Yan patted the swaddling clothes and smiled faintly.
With his character, he really wants to go to that chaotic place to find an opportunity.
However, now that he has just arrived at the ground, his face is easy to be noticed, so it is best not to reveal the identity of the cultivator.
He's here to gather intelligence, not to fight.
After dinner, I went to the carriage and horse shop to talk to the coachmen.
Later, I went to the teahouse and sat down.
These places are all well-informed places, and Dai Yan used the "ear washing" skill to collect a lot of information.
Combined with the archives seen in the Eagle Department, I almost know the basic situation of Kapok County.
The two main roads cross into a cross shape, dividing the county into four districts, each of which has a Xiuzhen family, and it is said that there is a town in the Restoration Period.
The four strongest families in the county mainly run their own businesses, but also have a group of clans, servants, and friendly families who are attached to them.
But the ordinary Xiuzhen family will not collect protection money from free citizens.
In addition, five Xiuzhen sects have set up liaison stations in their own county, but they have very few personnel and they do not charge protection fees.
So in the four areas, there are mainly more than a dozen gangs of all sizes active, each with its own territory.
There are a total of 5,000 households in the county, and there are about 3,000 free people without the background of the Xiuzhen family.
In this way, on average, each gang can only collect protection money from 200 free people.
Wolves have more meat and less meat, and fighting has become the daily routine of the city.
Of course, this is only a faΓ§ade.
It is said that every gang in the county has the shadow of a big force behind it.
The so-called big power is composed of hundreds, thousands of such counties.
No force would give up a county seat easily.
It doesn't matter how much you have, what matters is "I'm here".
As a result, a group of people died in a desperate fire, and new forces will be added to it.
A powerful force, never worry about finding an agent.
Therefore, the chaos in Kapok County has continued for many years.
Dai Yan silently pondered for a long time, but decided not to wade into troubled waters for the time being.
At this point in time, entering those chaotic neighborhoods is equivalent to putting a sign on your head that reads, "I have a mission."
Before he knew it, it was past noon, and Dai Yan began to feel a little urgent.
It is necessary to find a place to stay as soon as possible.
And he can't stay in the guest house, because Dai Yan wants to play a poor person.
Think about it, if you are a person who has a decent life, how can you leave your hometown background for no reason?
The various forces in the county will definitely keep an eye on the inn and pay attention to every outsider.
So Dai Yan had to integrate into the city immediately.
Walking through many shops along the way, Dai Yan was not very satisfied.
I feel like I'm back to the time when I just graduated and looked for a job in my previous life.
The store is too shabby, and it is not dismissive at all.
The boss has a bad temper and has no quality, don't be angry.
If the decoration is luxurious, the threshold must be high, and the probability of failure is too great.
"No matter what, I am also the one who holds the wooden card of the Eagle Department of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, and I am a person with status and status......" Dai Yan muttered to himself.
The baby in his arms cried again, and Dai Yan hurriedly untied the swaddling clothes and tried to pee.
However, the Eagle Department has never trained this skill at all, and when he was on Earth, he only watched others operate it, and he never got started with it.
The child cried more and more.
"Oh, you're a father, you won't take a child at all, right, I'll come, I'll come." An aunt on the side of the road couldn't stand it and ran over to help.
Dai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, looked at the aunt, and thought about whether to give the child to her.
"Little brother, you're a foreigner, where is the child?" The aunt asked as she urinated.
"Oh, damn it, it should be...... Let's go. Dai Yan estimated it.
"Oh, that's pathetic." The aunt glanced at Dai Yan, "What are you doing now, where are you going to join your relatives?" β
Dai Yan smiled bitterly: "How can I still have relatives to vote for, so I want to leave the sad place of my hometown and come to the city to find a job." β
"Begging for a living outside with a child?" The aunt stood up, her eyes full of concern: "Have you found a job?" β
"Not yet." Dai Yan sighed.
"In this case, you come with me, and I will talk to the master to see if I can take you in." The aunt resolutely decided to be a good person to the end.
This is unbelievable, Dai Yan nodded again and again, and then rushed to hold the vegetable basket that his aunt put aside in his hand.
The aunt held the child and led Dai Yan to the back door of a compound for a short time.
Outside the small door stood a housekeeper with a long stick.
Dai Yan was secretly surprised, the guards actually had the realm of the middle stage of qi refining?
The aunt said to the family, and then motioned for Dai Yan to follow.
"I would like to ask, Aunt Feng, who is your master in such a big yard?" Dai Yan walked around and looked around at his surroundings.
Although it is not as elegant as Hanmei Villa, the scale of this courtyard is really large.
And there are many people coming and going, slaves and maids and nurses.
"My master's surname is Tong, I'm afraid it's not clear when you just came, our Tong family is the first family in this county." Aunt Feng smiled.
"So powerful?" Dai Yan opened his mouth wide.
He's not saying that the Tong family is powerful, he's talking about himself.
When picking up the abandoned baby, Dai Yan fantasized that this was a prop that could naturally arouse sympathy, so it was not a loss to do such a good deed.
However, I never expected that because of bringing a child, I could directly enter the largest Xiuzhen family in the city.
I'm too far-sighted!
