Keep some distance between the two? Keep a little secret from each other?

Otis said he couldn't accept it.

He wanted to know about Yi Tuan's one qiē, this was his future queen, and he wanted to know if the other party's one qiē was too much? Obviously a very reasonable request.

And what I want to know most now is the secret of Yi Tuan, who can conjure things at any time, and the more the other party doesn't want to tell him, the more he wants to know.

But obviously now is not the time for him to be domineering, and it is not good for anyone to rush the other party in this situation.

"Okay, I'll not ask for now." Otis put the gem in his hand into Yi Tuan's palm, then picked up a few gold coins and looked at them, "Just when I exchanged it with you, I still have a few more." ”

Yi Tuan pursed his lips, and said nicely, your gems here are useless at all, and I can only see it, if I can escape, who will still be rare with your gems, besides, there are many beautiful gems in the belly of this baby, which are bigger and more precious than yours! Hum! ╭(╯^╰)╮

However, Yi Tuan is not an unreasonable person, he accepted the gem, and then said very righteously: "Your gem should be very valuable, I will give you some gold coins later, I will not take advantage of you, but this is a favor you owe me, now we are in trouble together, we need to help each other, otherwise I won't change it for you." ”

Otis raised his eyebrows, he felt that Yi Tuan's courage was really a lot bigger.

Yi Tuan raised his head and said: "Now you have a request for me, I can be regarded as a great help to you, so you can't take me as a hostage now." ”

Otis gently pinched Yi Tuan's chin, and the eyes of the two met each other, and it took a while for Otis to let go, "Okay, a truce for the time being." ”

Yi Tuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The wealth was not exposed, Otis pinched and flattened the patterns on the gold coin and put it into the pocket of his coat, and the coat was worn by Yi Tuan, and the two discussed for a long time and finally returned to the team.

Louise frowned, what the hell were these two people secretly discussing, they had always acted together as three people, why did Yi Tuan suddenly call Otis aside? What are you hiding from her?

After returning to the convoy, Yi Tuan stuffed a gold coin to Amy, he expressed his gratitude to Amy and his party for taking them in and helping them, and they didn't salute or anything, and they inevitably needed the help of these locals when they went to the city, hoping that this gold coin could help somewhat.

He didn't know the price of gold here, but in Rodman, such a gold coin the diameter of a ping-pong ball was about worth more than 40,000 soka, which was not a little, but it was not a lot, and the average citizen's monthly salary was about 5,000 to 10,000 soka, almost half a year's salary.

Amy and Hans hurriedly said no, they just casually told sù about local things, and then gave a few mouthfuls of food to eat, all of which were worthless, and Yi Tuan also gave them exquisite food, which was all good things they had never eaten, where could they still collect Yi Tuan's money.

But Yi Tuan said that some things are more valuable than gold coins, and they are really grateful that the other party can help them so selflessly, and they will be part of the team in the future.

"Besides, Aunt Amy, even if you don't care, you have to think about your children, the money can be earned slowly when we settle down, and it will be our investment."

As soon as he said this, Amy hesitated a little, he looked at his husband uncertainly, a gold coin may buy a lot of things here, and an ordinary slave is only worth one or two gold coins, this is indeed not a small amount of money, enough for their group to spend a long time, it is false to say that they are not impressed.

Hans was also a little hesitant, but the other people in the team seemed to want this gold coin, but it can't be said that they were greedy for money, in the face of the cruel real life, there was really no reason to refuse the money that was not stolen or robbed, at least the money came from the right way, and Yi Tuan also paid it voluntarily.

In the end, Amy accepted the gold coin and said that she would spend it in a useful place.

Yi Tuan smiled and waved his hand, now they are really accepted by this team, if they want to leave this place, it is essential to have the help of the locals, after all, they don't know the rules here, and it is not easy to get in touch with the people above.

And the main thing is that they are too conspicuous, and it is easy to be targeted when they act alone, and there is no legal protection here.

The convoy is back on the road, they have to make a long detour, and if they don't leave, it will be dark, and it will be inconvenient at that time, and it is said that this place is particularly unsafe when it is dark.

Louise's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, gold coins? How can there be gold coins, Otis and she don't have gold coins, the pajamas that Yi Tuan has been wearing before coming to this planet, where is there a place to put gold coins, where did the gold coins come from?

She thought of the food of unknown origin again, there were really a lot of strange things about this Yi Tuan.

And now Otis seems to know Yi Tuan's secret, but the two have no intention of telling her, obviously not treating her as their own.

Thinking of this, Louise was in an even worse mood, and her nails poked deep into her palms, reminding herself to calm down with pain.

After more than an hour, the convoy finally went down the valley, and unlike the overlook, the front looked a little better, Hans said that it was much better than before they left, the walls were much higher than before, and there were many more people guarding the gates, and the city of Knox was so large that the walls could not be seen at a glance.

Otis and Louise were so beautiful and eye-catching that they disguised themselves before going down the valley, wearing the tattered clothes of the rest of the convoy and smearing their faces with dirty mud, which looked dirty and dusty anyway.

Yi Tuan's whole person was wrapped in Otis's coat, and then he was held in his arms by Otis, and when he arrived at the city gate, he said that he was a sick child at home.

Due to the large number of people in the convoy, the camouflage of the three of them did not arouse any special suspicion, and it was almost dark, so the guards quickly let them go.

However, the money that should be collected is not less, two copper coins for children under one meter, five copper coins for the rest, and ten copper coins for vehicles, only those who cultivate the fields outside and contribute to Knox City can be exempted, and those who have a pass issued by the city lord.

There are still some copper coin convoys, and everyone counted their share of their own family and handed it to Hans, and the Yituan was naturally paid by Hans and his wife, and the group went along the way.

When looking down during the day, Yi Tuan felt that there was nothing special about this city, and he had seen too much of a high-tech city, compared to Knox City, which was too backward.

And preconceived, the small villages I saw along the way were too dilapidated, so I didn't have high expectations for Knox.

But when he really entered the city, Yi Tuan found that it was unexpectedly quite prosperous inside, he lifted his clothes and looked out secretly, although there is nothing high-tech here, and the lights are also very backward, I don't know whether it is an oil lamp or a candle lamp, it seems that there is no electricity, but it is very lively, and it can be regarded as brightly lit.

The houses are basically brick houses, quite neat, the road is paved with stone slabs, the road is full of people, but basically men, women can't see few, people laugh and drink on the side of the road, many people look bad, from time to time there is a sweat full of alcohol passing by, occasionally you can hear the laughter of women in some houses, coming from the wide open windows, Yi Tuan dare not imagine what kind of place it is.

When they came in, they provoked a lot of onlookers, there were a lot of them, but they were very tattered clothes, and there were no good belongings in the car, which caused a lot of ridicule.

"Poof, which country escaped, it's really dirty."

"What kind of garbage is in the car, and you pull it in like a baby."

"Okay, don't laugh at people, these are poor bastards, what's so beautiful, let's continue to drink."

"There are really a lot of people who have fled recently, what the hell is going on?"

"Don't you know, this thing has already spread, we don't know how, suddenly the groundwater level dropped a lot, it seems that the factory is pumping too much water, I don't know the specifics, anyway, there are many places in the vicinity of the water, crops can't be planted, this is only our Knox City is fine, the water of the Wari River can be abundant."

"No wonder everyone has been running here lately, the business of the hotel is so good."

"You gamble all day long, and you don't know about such a big thing, and it's really okay."

"What does it matter to me whether these rednecks come here or not, and they don't have any oil and water on them."

"That's right, hahaha."

"Drink, keep drinking."

……

The down-and-out group didn't attract much attention from these people, and after watching it for a while, the crowd dispersed.

Mai Mai and several other children were scared to shrink in the car, the eldest of them was born here, but they were still very young at the time, almost no memory of childhood, the younger ones had never been to the city at all, so they were very scared, the unfamiliar environment, the strange crowd, and the people here did not seem to be very friendly, was it really right for them to move here?

If they had a choice, Hans and the others didn't want to move back, although the remote wilderness was backward, but at least it was stable, but they couldn't live without water, and they couldn't go anywhere except here.

The group was dusty and physically and mentally exhausted, and the convoy found an ordinary cheap hotel to live in, and Otis wanted to live in a better place, but they were dressed in tatters, and the place where they lived too well aroused suspicion, so let's wait until tomorrow to buy new clothes and change them.

Otis and Yi Tuan were in a separate room, and after closing the door, Yi Tuan exhaled, and was finally able to come out, and he was really suffocated along the way.
