Chapter 414: Pawnshop Third Update!
★ More exciting readings are here, the official apex ★
Silent, Su Qiubai followed behind the uncle.
However, he secretly made a decision in his heart, no matter what, he would fulfill his promise, stand in front of Xia Rongrong at any time, and be willing to face the whole world for her!
After chatting like this, Su Qiubai also had a new understanding of this uncle.
I thought he was a position similar to that of a traffic policeman, but I realized it later...... This uncle's status in Sky City is almost the same as that of a cleaner in Huaxia.
To put it bluntly, they are the hardest workers, but the two worlds have different concepts of garbage.
After understanding this, the old driver had more indescribable respect and gratitude for this uncle called Tiangong.
In this way, the two of them returned all the way back to Uncle Tiangong's house.
The residential area in the city is divided into five levels, and Uncle Tiangong is in the fifth class, which is also the outskirts of the whole city, almost the same concept as the slum.
However, after the day's work, Uncle Tiangong seemed very happy, and after getting paid, he took Su Qiubai to the market to kill a very strange-looking chicken.
But although it looks weird, Su Qiubai can see it and feel it...... This chicken's body contains a lot of energy.
It was also because of this that he vaguely understood why there were so many powerful martial artists in Sky City, and a large part of the reason was probably the same.
When chatting before, Uncle Tiangong said that he had a daughter who had just entered elementary school, and it happened that Su Qiubai was also a guest today, killing a chicken and eating it with the whole family.
When he arrived at Uncle Tiangong's house, Su Qiubai finally saw what kind of place the family lived in.
It's hard to say, and it's even worse than some slums in China.
The family only has two rooms plus a toilet, one room for cooking, and the family of three lives here, and the other room is for other things.
To tell the truth, Su Qiubai was shocked when he saw it.
Originally, he thought that in such a powerful world and such a powerful city, everyone should be able to live very well.
But now, he was wrong.
However, Uncle Tiangong's daughter is very cute, his wife is also very kind, and the whole family welcomes Su Qiubai's arrival.
So, the old driver, as an inexplicable guest, ate his first meal in this sky city.
Although it was very simple, he was very happy to eat, and listening to Uncle Tiangong's family chatting about the sky, he could be regarded as having a preliminary understanding of this strange city in the sky.
However, he still didn't find a suitable way to contact Xia Rongrong, which made him feel a little depressed and even more at a loss.
Uncle Tiangong's family was also a little curious about Su Qiubai, and seemed to be worried about something, but they were reluctant to say it.
But in the end, they didn't ask too much, everyone has their own secrets, and there is no need to explore so much.
At the end of the meal, Su Qiubai heard that Tiangong's daughter seemed to want something, but Tiangong and his family were silent at the same time.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little wrong, and the old driver sat next to him and didn't understand much, only to see the little girl's face worried and anxious.
"Dad, I don't want it...... I can borrow it from someone else......"
The little girl's name is Lis, and she looks very cute, but at this moment her expression is very worried, especially when she sees the gloom on the faces of her parents.
"Lise, I'm sorry......"
After being silent for a long time, Uncle Tiangong spoke, he looked very lost, and his eyes were originally quite bright, but at the moment they were full of guilt.
"Dad, don't be sorry, when I get good grades this semester, the school will reward me, and then I can have money to buy it!"
Lisi smiled hard, but this sentence made Tiangong and his wife even more uncomfortable, they couldn't speak, and they could only sigh helplessly after all.
The old driver sitting next to him finally understood what was going on.
Growing up in the countryside, although he has not experienced the things of Sky City, he fully understands the difficulties of the family in front of him at this moment!
To put it simply, it's money!
Because of poverty, the child's simplest wishes can not be satisfied, although Lisi is a very sensible child, but the pain of the heavenly husband and wife, must be unforgettable!
The old driver really wanted to help the family, but now he is indeed a little depressed.
He had already asked Lonrado before, and he had also seen with his own eyes from Tiangong that the currency of this world was completely different from that of the earth.
That is, the gold of the earth is completely worthless here!
In this case, Su Qiubai was not only a poor bastard, but he also didn't even have the ability to repay the fifty copper coins owed to Uncle Tiangong.
As a result, this sad mood was contagious.
originally thought that when I came here, I would be able to see Xia Rongrong immediately, but who knew that it would be difficult, and what I didn't expect was that I would be stumped by money!
This meal ended like this.
Su Qiubai stood on the balcony and vaguely heard Tiangong and his family discussing whether to sell something, the so-called parents in the world always treat their children in the same mood.
As for Lis, she sat quietly on the sand and read a book.
Anyway, there was nothing going on, Su Qiubai suddenly had an idea in his heart, and he took the initiative to ask Lisi about it, wanting to know if there were anything like pawnshops around.
He still has some messy things like jade pendants on his body, and he doesn't know if he can exchange a few dollars, even if he can't help Tiangong's family at that time, at least he can pay off his debts.
Although Lisi didn't know what Su Qiubai was going to do, she quickly told him that there was a shop on the street not far downstairs, and it could be used as a thing!
Before the little girl could ask again to understand what Su Qiubai was going to be, the old driver had already left.
Who would have thought that the old driver, who was omnipotent on the earth, would now be so downcast.
However, the so-called penny is difficult to defeat the hero, and now that he is in this sky city, it is difficult for him to meet Xia Rongrong.
Before that, at least I hope to help Tiangong's family.
Liz was right, and when he got down the street, he saw the shop very quickly.
The scale is very large, and the outside looks like a sense of grandeur, and the old driver is even more surprised when he enters.
Sky City is indeed extraordinary, everything in it looks strange, at least Su Qiubai has never seen it on earth.
But again, the price of these things that he didn't know at all was amazingly expensive!
Casually, it's a few hundred gold coins!
Don't think that a few hundred gold coins is an ordinary concept, Su Qiubai has already learned from Tiangong that one gold coin here can be exchanged for a thousand coins, and at the same time, a coin can be exchanged for a thousand copper coins!
The price of the thing Lisi wants is just a coin, but it makes the Tiangong family frown, but you can imagine what the concept of anything here is worth hundreds of gold coins!
After looking at it and remembering that he was a poor bastard, Su Qiubai walked to the counter in front of him.
"Hello, I'm going to be something."
As he spoke, Su Qiubai had already taken out his jade pendants.
These things are not ordinary on the earth, they are all valuable antiques, and it is precisely because of this that he has the idea of giving it a try, and he wants to exchange it for a few dollars.
As a result, the receptionist on the other side was quite happy, but after seeing that it was some jade pendants, his eyes were full of disdain and impatience.
"Fifty copper coins."
Throwing out this sentence coldly, the receptionist didn't look at Su Qiubai again, and turned around directly to get busy with his own affairs.
The old driver, on the other hand, had an unbelievable feeling.
It's only worth fifty copper coins...... It's not even as good as garbage!
I suddenly felt a little depressed in my heart, and I didn't know what to do...... Su Qiubai suddenly saw something in the most conspicuous position of the entire store.
It felt familiar, so he took a few steps closer and took a closer look.
First of all, the price surprised him, a bead that looked ordinary was actually worth ...... 100,000 gold coins!
Obviously, this is the most precious thing in this store, and it will have such a price.
However, there was another reason that made Su Qiubai open his mouth wide...... Because he already recognized this thing.
The reason why he knew it was because he had seen it before.
Not only have I seen it, but at this moment, there is a sack full of sacks in the back box of Ah Hong's scrapped car......
