Chapter 53: The Dancing Girl (5)

What a poor child, Ye Lan sighed in her heart and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these sad things, I have something to ask you, has there been any particularly powerful characters on Meiqi Island recently?" ”

Now Ye Lan could confirm that there were other trialists on this island, and that they were hostile to him, or at least wary. Most of the trialists are practical, and they will not cause conflicts if they don't have to, and since they have done it, it is likely that this is a task that requires trialists to pit each other. Since it is an opponent, it is necessary to understand the details of the other party, Ye Lan plans to dig out a little information from this little girl first, although she is at the bottom of society, but often this kind of person is the most sensitive to news, Ye Lan does not plan to know any deep secrets, some relatively public news can already make a lot of guesses.

Nancy thought for a while and said, "Yes, there is a very powerful woman in recent years, who has saved a lot of property in a short period of time, she has several nightclubs and casinos, and everyone calls her Ms. Red." ”

In recent years, how can it be so long, is this still a long-term task? Ye Lan muttered secretly in her heart and said, "In addition, are there any other forces that are rising rapidly?" ”

The trialists of the seventh space cannot be said to be impatient, on the contrary, on the contrary, their endurance can reach an astonishing level, and if necessary, they will lie dormant for months or even years in exchange for a perfect opportunity to attack. But at the same time, in the absence of special regulations, trialists tend to prefer to strike first, and no one knows if a second slower will make the difference between life and death. When it comes to this task, the space does not give any restrictions, in this case, the trialists will not be inclined to choose to develop slowly, they will often rise quickly through their own extraordinary means and ruthless hearts, and this efficient way will definitely attract the attention of others.

Nancy thought for a while and said: "There really is one, I also heard from others, more than ten years ago there was a very legendary person on Meiqi Island, he is very mysterious, he made a fortune by selling intelligence, there are very few people who have really seen him, he is called the white old man." ”

Ye Lan asked, "This white old man is still on this island?" ”

Nancy said: "It should still be there, I heard from him a few days ago, saying that one of his news sold for a big price, but I don't know if it's true or fake." He shook his head, as if he didn't understand why anyone would want to spend so much money on a message.

They didn't find a way to complete this task, this is the initial speculation made by Ye Lan, especially the old man white, selling intelligence is one of his focuses, he estimates that he has found a lot of secrets about this island, but even in this case, the old man white still has not returned to the space, indicating that his task has not been completed, it seems that the clues of this task are hidden very deeply.

After digesting this information, Ye Lan asked again: "Who set the rules of Meiqi Island, is it the city government?" "Mae Khan Island is the conventional name, and it is clearly stated on that page that it is the city of Anhel in the state of Ensirtay, so from an administrative point of view, it should be called the city of Anhair.

Nancy pursed her lips and said: "The city government doesn't care about things at all, they don't even come out of the office building except for collecting money, and the maintenance of order here depends on the negotiation between a few bigwigs, I don't know the specific situation." ”

Ye Lan asked, "Are Old Man White and Lady Red also the so-called big guys?" ”

Nancy said: "Of course yes, the news in the head of the old man is very valuable, and Ms. Hong also has a lot of fields in her hands, and it is also very profitable." ”

This is not good news, it means that those two guys can use more social forces to deal with themselves through negotiation, and it seems that they need to be more careful in the future.

It's almost time to ask, and if you ask again, I'm afraid that I will leak my details, Ye Lan said: "Okay, it's late, you should go back and rest early." She looked at Nancy's basket that was still full of roses, and said, "Since you have delayed selling the flowers, I will buy these, how much is the total?" ”

Nancy glanced at Ye Lan and said cautiously: "A total of 500 zinc coins." ”

500? It's really expensive, but the words have already been spoken, it's hard to say that you won't buy it, Ye Lan muttered as she took out her wallet.

Paying the money with one hand and receiving the goods with the other, Nancy also gave her the basket, but Ye Lan didn't ask for it, anyway, she planned to throw away these flowers, what kind of basket do you want! The little girl hid the money close to her, hesitated, and still asked, "Can I know your name?" ”

This is a strange question, and it is a dangerous question, Ye Lan glanced at her, the little girl shrank back, but still looked forward to the answer to the question, and in the end, Ye Lan still answered: "You can call me Miss Lan." ”

Nancy nodded, and walked briskly out of the alley.

Ye Lan stood there, thinking about what to do next.

First of all, she can continue to wait here, the stalker sent has not heard back for a long time, why should she send someone to take a look, Ye Lan doesn't believe that the stalker didn't leave a mark, so she can track back and find the guy who calculates herself. But the strange thing is that Ye Lan hasn't waited for anyone until now, could it be that the behind-the-scenes commander has already guessed that the eyeliner he sent out might be extinguished? Now that you have guessed why you are sending people to die, is it really just a temptation?

In addition, Ye Lan could also turn around and go back to his residence. If she wants to deal with a person, it is essential to send someone to squat at the residence, push herself and others, and when she returns to the residence, she is likely to catch the person who is squatting and spying on her. But this requires a premise: the behind-the-scenes commander knows where Ye Lan lives, which involves another question, when did Ye Lan reveal his identity as a trialist and attract the attention of the behind-the-scenes mastermind, was it when he landed on this island, or when he settled down, or when was it something else? In Ye Lan's view, the most likely is when watching a performance at the "Meiqi Theater". She didn't believe that person had completely controlled Meiqi Island, it was impossible for him to monitor every corner of this island, but it was still possible for some important places to arrange people to keep an eye on them, or even sit in charge by himself, if this was the case, that person didn't know where he lived at all, which meant that Ye Lan was likely to be in vain when he went back now.

Neither of these is a good choice, so does Ye Lan have a third choice?

……

Nancy's flowers had all been bought by Miss Blue, and she carried the five hundred zinc coins in her arms, humming softly to the slums in the southern part of the island. The girl washed her face and feet by a small river, and went through a chaotic slum alley to her lodgings, and laid the basket away, and at the bottom of the basket was a small sachet, which was an amulet, and at the sight of this amulet, Nancy seemed to think of something disgusting to her, and grabbed the basket and threw it into the pile of debris in the corner.

Nancy lay under the bed and tossed for a long time and pulled out a cup. The cup is very beautiful, with a snow-white bottom with stars and moon painted on it, which she picked up from the garbage heap, and has always been the girl's favorite and most decent daily necessities, and every time she goes out, she has to hide this beloved cup tightly.

Nancy poured a glass of water from a notched jar and drank it in small sips with both hands, the water in this jar was boiled, and she had heard a seemingly learned man say that drinking boiled water is not easy to get sick, and this sentence was firmly in her heart. For the bottom of society like her, illness is simply a catastrophe, not that they are afraid of dying, death is not a relief for them, but they will have no strength to work after being sick, even if they endure the pain of illness to work, they don't want you, they usually struggle to survive, there is no reserve at all, if you don't work for a day, you will be hungry for a day, and if you don't work for a few days, you will be hungry for a few days, so that you will starve to death before you get sick and die, and the taste of starving to death is not comfortable, Nancy once had the experience of starving for two days, At that time, she wanted to take a bite of everything, she was simply hungry, and she would rather die than taste it again. Therefore, although it is said that it is troublesome to boil the water and drink it again, Nancy's mind is very clear that no matter how troublesome it is, it is better than losing her life.

After taking a small sip of water, Nancy went to bed, holding the five hundred zinc coins in her chest, and the girl smiled and fell asleep. Although she met a demon today, and she almost turned into a corpse and became a food for the mouth of a wild dog, she was still happy because she sold the flowers without any problems. She had to sell each flower for a high price of ten zinc coins, but she didn't make much profit, and if a few flowers were not sold, she might even lose money, in this case, it was already a joy to sell the flowers today.

It's not that this girl's nerves are too coarse, and she can still laugh after such a terrible thing. For them, the bottom of society, life has been surrounded by all kinds of suffering, and only those who are good at discovering and cherishing happiness will not be driven crazy by the cruel reality. Sorrow belongs to the children of the nobility, and for Nancy, she must cherish every thing that comes her way, because such things are too rare.

Nancy just fell asleep, the curtain of the small shack was quietly opened, Ye Lan walked in, she stood at the head of the bed, Nancy who was immersed in sleep was like a child, carefree, there was no hunger and pain in the dream, only happiness and joy, what a lovely child.
