Chapter 250: Aliens
She doesn't look like a dusty woman at all, her appearance is gentle and dignified, and she is a little reserved, she doesn't seem to want to contact any man, whether the other party is strange or familiar, although the umbrella in her hand is pointing to the ground, it seems to be raised at any time to prevent the other party from approaching.
Because of this, she looks very abrupt in the inn, more eye-catching than the tall Xiao Killing Bear.
"You're one of the Seven Fairies?" Hu Guiyang was a little surprised, although this woman is not ugly, but in his imagination, it should be more gorgeous.
The woman shook her head, "I'll start at the beginning." ”
"Hmm." Hu Guiyang pointed to the stool that was moved aside by Xiao Killing Xiong, "It seems that your story will be very long." ”
The stool was inside, so the woman hesitated for a moment, "Maybe it's not that long." She still walked over and sat down, and the tip of the umbrella always pointed at Hu Guiyang, intentionally or unintentionally, showing a sense of vigilance.
There were a few silver ingots scattered on the table, Zhao Aqi and Xiao Killing Xiong didn't care, but the woman stared at it for a while, "Two hundred taels?" ”
"Yes, fifty taels a ingot."
"When I was sold to my husband's house, it was only worth ten taels."
"No...... Less, right? Hu Guiyang didn't know what to say, and he couldn't connect the woman in front of him with Wuque Hutong no matter what.
"Quite a lot, in my hometown, a girl under the age of ten is usually worth only a bag of grain, and I sell it more expensive because I can read a few words and my husband's family wants to help my father. My father was a famous talent, and he took the ten taels of silver to take the exam, but he drowned when he crossed the river. ”
"It's unfortunate, but it has nothing to do with Jindan."
"I'm starting from the beginning." The woman was slightly displeased.
"Please continue." Hu Guiyang said with a smile, the more he felt that this woman was not easy to deal with, and the more he didn't believe that she was from Wuque Hutong.
"I forgot to say it, my surname is Luo, and if I don't say my name, everyone calls me Luo."
"Hmm." Hu Guiyang endured the problem of being too talkative.
"My husband's family treated me very well, I got married at the age of fifteen, and I never gave birth to a son and a half daughter, and my husband didn't treat me coldly because of this, and he didn't take a concubine."
"He has the money to take a concubine?" Hu Guiyang still couldn't hold back.
"Yes." Roche affirmed.
"The real concubine is not ten taels of silver to buy a child bride."
Roche pondered for a moment, and said more affirmatively: "Yes." ”
Hu Guiyang smiled, not understanding why he had to care about this trivial matter.
Luo went on to say, "Yunyang was built as a city, and I moved to the city with my husband's family. ”
"There are not many people in Yunyang."
"There are only two or three hundred households in total, and they all live in the eastern city. We were forced to move there, and when something happened, everyone wanted to leave, but the government didn't allow it, and when we got to it, we couldn't leave if we wanted to, you should understand. ”
"Understood."
When the whole city participates in the absorption, there is no need for the government to obstruct it, and everyone does not want to leave.
"In the end, more than a dozen members of my husband's family died, and I was the only one left."
"You're unlucky." Hu Guiyang admitted that the Luo family was the worst so far, and many people died in Yunyang Mansion at that time, but there was only one family of more than ten people left, and the luck was indeed too bad.
"In the Yunyang Incident, three members of the husband's family died, and the others were killed by officers and soldiers or robbers."
"Huh?" Hu Guiyang did not expect such an answer.
Luo smiled, the umbrella in his hand hung lower, and the tip of the umbrella was about to touch the ground, "I never thought that one day I would learn martial arts, I have no interest, and I have no qualifications, the fire god technique has been stumbling and stumbling, even so, at that time, I was still attracted by the Dan Acupoint, and it felt like I had been locked in a prison cell all my life, and finally gained freedom." It's a pity that for the mortals of Yunyang City, freedom is fleeting in the blink of an eye. Were you in Yunyang in those days? ”
"I'm in the mountains."
"You're a weirdo. We were reluctant to leave, and rumors abounded, and everyone tried various methods in the hope of regaining their divine power, one of which was to kill people, thinking that they could use this to seize the power of others, and accumulate a lot. ”
Hu Guiyang remembered that that night, he had indeed seen a group of robbers killing each other on the official road.
"That's how most of my husband's family was killed."
"You want revenge?"
"Revenge? We volunteered to participate in the killing, and no one was assassinated, so there is no revenge. ”
Hearing the word "we", Hu Guiyang was stunned, "You are also involved?" ”
"At that point, how many people can stay out of it? Fortunately, on the third day after the Yunyang Change, the divine power in my body began to recover, not much, but enough for me to survive the slaughter. At that time, I thought that this was a person's urgency, but I realized afterwards that it was useless to kill, and whether or not I could recover my divine power was all by chance, and the people of my husband's family died in vain. ”
Hu Guiyang didn't ask any further, scratched his forehead, and said with a smile: "Hearing now, I think you don't need Jin Dan the most." ”
"I'm only halfway there."
"Didn't Wen Buhua give you a set time?"
"I'll try to keep the remaining half as short as possible."
"Please."
"I can't live in Yunyang City, and wandering the world is not what I want, so I packed up and followed the officers and soldiers to the capital. On the way, I heard all kinds of rumors, and finally understood that I was a stranger. ”
The umbrella in Luo's hand touched the ground, her face was full of loneliness, but after a while, she smiled, "Yunyang Yiren, I don't know who called it, I am indeed different from ordinary people." As the saying goes, there must be gains and losses, and when I get the most generous gift, I naturally have to pay some price. ”
Luo was speechless for a long time, and Hu Guiyang had to ask: "What is the price?" ”
"Wuque Hutong has been established for a long time, and it was not until I went there that it became a famous place to seek pleasure inside and outside the capital."
Hu Guiyang laughed and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else, I just ...... You really don't feel like that. ”
"Thank you." Roche smiled, taking this sentence as a compliment, "Because this is a disease, no one will act like a sick person when the illness is not present, right?" But I'm not here to show you the disease, you don't have that idea, do you? ”
Hu Guiyang immediately shook his head, "I'm not a righteous person, but I will never take advantage of others." ”
"I am a woman from a good family, although I was sold to my husband's family since I was a child, I have never been a lowly servant, I didn't expect ...... I have not come to ask you to deliver me from the sea of suffering. To be honest, that's not a bitter sea, in Wuque Hutong, I am highly respected, and the Seven Fairies are famous in the capital after learning their skills from me. I get so much joy that it makes me forget my old mediocrity. ”
"Then what do you want Jin Dan to do?"
Roche retreated with a smile on his face, "I don't want to be too happy, I have a hunch that if this continues, I will be deeply trapped in it and be manipulated, and sadly, the manipulator is very likely to be a mediocre person." I am a Yunyang alien, and in the eyes of ordinary people, I am the same as an immortal, so I must not become a vassal of mortals, do you understand? ”
Hu Guiyang nodded, "I think so." ”
"But it's still not about you, I'm just a woman, I have nothing to do with you before, and if I'm manipulated by some mediocre man, you don't care."
"You want to swap?" Hu Guiyang already understood Roche's intentions.
"Yes, that's what I said at the beginning. Wuque Hutong is my territory, and there is nothing I don't know about the big and small things that happen there. ”
"You forget, I'm on the run, and the matter in Wuque Hutong has nothing to do with me either."
Roche said a lot about his experience, but he didn't want to elaborate on the proposal, and stood up, "I heard that you are also recovering your strength?" ”
"It's just started, it's just a little bit, and it's not comparable to you."
"Then you are the future Yunyang Inhuman. Inhumans are higher than mortals, so Inhumans will never run away. Think about my proposal, saving people and helping others is nothing more than a momentary bravery, except for a few words of thanks, you will get nothing, and you will regret it in the end. Exchange is a better option, with each having something to gain and not owing each other. ”
"That's a good idea, I'll consider it."
Roche bowed slightly, pushed the door and walked out of the house.
The thin man stood outside and said weakly, "You're running out of time." ”
Roche smiled slightly, without explanation, and turned back to his room.
The thin man walked in, dragged the stool to the table, and after sitting down, he rested his right arm on the table, as if he was not exhausted.
"You don't look like an Inhuman." Hu Guiyang spoke first.
The thin man smiled bitterly, "It's really not, I'm the richest man in the world, with a lot of money, but I don't dare to spend a penny, because this money is connected to my life, and every time I spend a little, my life will be less." ”
"Looks like you've squandered it."
"Who wouldn't want to splurge when they first had money? At that time, the changes were not obvious, and when everything was revealed, I felt that I should have the wind of a martyr, and I would rather die than give in, and my life would not be guaranteed, but I would also be famous for future generations. The thin man smiled bitterly again, "When I have only a little life left, I am afraid." ”
This was more like emotion than narration, so Hu Guiyang listened quietly and didn't say anything.
"My surname is Lin, my name is dyed, I was a showman, I failed the examination, so I joined the army as a middle school officer, and was stationed in Yunyang Mansion with the army the year before last."
"Since they are officers and soldiers, why ...... Didn't stay in the army? I know that there is a stranger who stayed in the West Factory and became Wang Zhi's most powerful minions. ”
"The use of people in the army is like driving wolves, and they will never die, and I don't dare to use divine power at all now."
"Understand, however, there is only one Jindan, and you are not the one who needs it the most."
"I'm the only one willing to share the golden pill with you."
"What do you mean?"
"The golden pill is still in your hands, let me take a little when necessary, and from now on, I will use it for you, driven by you."
Hu Guiyang laughed.
"What's so ridiculous?"
"I'm sorry, I'm ...... That's the problem, I want to laugh when I hear anything. Hu Guiyang actually remembered Roche, one was afraid that he would be manipulated, but the other took the initiative to accept the control, which made him feel ridiculous and a little sad.
"Yunyang strangers have their own thoughts, you and I will work together to ensure safety."
"Your experience is simple."
"Of course, I'm a straightforward person, no nonsense." Lin Layer stood up, "Don't delay you, if you want to know my skills......"
"No, Inhumans must have divine powers, I know very well." Hu Guiyang couldn't let the other party waste his remaining life.
Lin Tieran gave his hand and retired, "Thank you." ”
The fifth and last person to come in was Guo Juren and the dumbfounded soldier.
"You don't believe that Xiaocao has become a demon?" Guo Juren asked as soon as he came in.
Hu Guiyang smiled: "That's definitely not her, the rumors are not credible." ”
Guo Juren took a step sideways, revealing the soldiers behind him, "Aren't you worried that Xiaocao will become like him?" Give me Jindan, if it works on him, it will also be a good thing for Xiaocao. ”
Guo Juren was more concise, just a few words, turned to leave, and the soldier was dragged by the rope on his waist before he followed out.
Hu Guiyang is indeed worried.
