Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Legend of the Black Market
After hearing Qin Yundui's words, everyone was shocked.
"That's right, it's in Yicheng. ”
It seems that what Commander An Tong gave to Qin Yunwan was indeed a confidential document, which told about the momentum of the rise of the black market, and the most attractive trading item in the black market was this black soul stone.
"If you want to say that this black soul stone can prolong people's lives, and even bring the dead back to life for a short time, rich people will definitely rush to it. Yu Fei said.
"Hey, by the way, I remember the last time we went to Brother Qin's hometown, John seemed to mention that your home is in Yicheng?" Feng Xuan asked.
"Haha," Wang Yuehan showed her signature laugh again, "It's still Fengxuan's sister who is the most careful." ”
"By the way, Yue Han," Brother Zou Yin asked, "Where is your hometown in Yicheng?" ”
"Right in the centre of town. ”
"This is not bad, I guess when I get to Yicheng, I can sit at your house for a while. ”
"Yo," Xiao Yinning squinted her eyes again, "I can't see it, our son Yue Han is still from a big city." ”
"Cut," Yue Han replied, "You haven't seen the world at first glance, there are more than a dozen big towns in this land of dust, and they are the poorest in Yicheng, and the center of this Yicheng city is not as good as the ordinary level of Lifeng City's suburban towns." ”
"Not necessarily," Qin Yunwan interjected into the chat, "For example, my hometown, except for the town, the other suburbs and counties are very dilapidated. ”
"Brother Zou, how are you doing now?" Qin Yunwan continued.
"It's okay, it's just that sometimes I feel a little pain, but it's okay anymore," Zou Yin didn't seem to have fully recovered, but his condition was much better than yesterday, "If it weren't for psychological reasons, I feel like nothing is wrong." ”
"I heard that we are going to Yicheng this time, right? Brother Yue Han's hometown?" Zhong Li then asked.
"That's right!" Wang Yuehan replied, "Brother, your head is a little short-circuited, since you have gone to us, you must come to my house to sit down." ”
"Oh, Brother Yue Han," Xiao Yinning said, "What fun is there to entertain us? What are the special things in your house? What do Brother Yue Han's parents do?"
Yue Han listened and smiled reluctantly, "I don't have parents." ”
Everyone immediately fell silent, and Yin Ning said sorry repeatedly.
"I was brought up by the fourth uncle since I was a child, to be precise, this time I went to the fourth uncle's house. ”
The others nodded kindly, but they still couldn't say anything, they just felt that the news was relatively sudden, but Yue Han could have such an optimistic and sunny personality, and he was happy in his heart.
"I don't have parents anymore," Zhong Li said beside him, "My parents accidentally injured and died when I was a child when I had a spiritual attack, and Brother Qin's parents also left early, so we will take care of each other in the future." ”
Yin Ning also hurriedly said, "It's okay, my parents too..."
Suddenly, everyone fell silent, and their expressions became more and more different, it turned out that after they had been together for so long, they didn't even find a single thing they had in common - they were all orphans, or they had become orphans.
"The so-called mysterious group, we are all such a family, so there is no concern, it is even more mysterious, right?" Yu Fei said coldly.
"That's really ulterior motives" Zou Yin sneered, "We died suddenly that day, I'm afraid no one mourns."
Qin Yundui was stunned for a while, "If Commander An Tong deliberately set up a department like ours, I know Feng Xuan, Yu Fei may know, Yin Ning and Zou Brother An Tong also know, then how can Zhong Li and Yue Han explain?"
"That's right," Wang Yuehan said, "you don't have to be so suspicious. ”
The chatter was still a cheerful topic just now, but the excitement suddenly became heavy, and everyone didn't know how to continue talking.
Xiao Yinning is still a little uncomfortable, he usually likes to laugh at Yue Han the most, who knew that he was an orphan, this time he just watched Yue Han silently.
"But you're okay," Zhong Li said to Yue Han, "at least you still have relatives, I don't have anything, and I don't have any feelings for my hometown for a long time." ”
"Feng Xuan, where is your hometown?" Yu Fei's master and apprentice diverted the topic.
"Shanshui City. Feng Xuan replied, "Shanshui City is a southern town, mainly for tourism, the scenery is very beautiful, and it is a good place for self-cultivation. ”
"It's really similar to your temperament," Yu Fei said with a smile.
"Brother Zhongli, how much money do you have," Wang Yuehan also began to look for a topic, and asked coldly.
Zhong Li thought for a while, "I have saved a sum of money since I became famous, plus I have met a group of people in the military region, and now I have an investment in the arms weapons and song and dance theater of the military region." ”
"That means you're completely able to live on interest?"
"Pretty much. Zhong Li replied, anyway, everyone knows that they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and there is nothing to be modest.
"The wages we work so hard to earn every day are less than other people's pocket money. Yin Ning sighed.
"Why are you talking about me?" Zhong Li changed the subject, "Then Brother Yue Han, aren't you going to him this time?"
That's when the conversation got back on track.
"Me?" Yue Han looked at everyone, "Actually, there is nothing fun in my hometown, my parents died in an accident when I was very young, and I was fostered in the fourth uncle's house, but the fourth uncle treated me very well, and the conditions of the fourth uncle's family were not bad, so I didn't suffer any grievances since I was a child." ”
"What does the fourth uncle do?" Qin Yunwan asked.
Wang Yuehan pursed his lips, as if he still wanted to sell a pass, "You definitely can't guess this." ”
"What the hell is it? Yin Ning was very cooperative.
"My fourth uncle's family is a puppet. ”
"Dolls?" Zou Yin was very interested, "Toys?"
"That's right, in fact, at the beginning, the fourth uncle's family was engaged in puppet shows, which was very popular in our generation at that time, and there was also a small theater, but no one watched this kind of drama, but the fourth uncle started another line and began to sell dolls, but I didn't expect this road to go more smoothly, and there is still a certain popularity in the circle, plus the same type also makes some dolls, Dolls are also selling very well, but the fourth uncle's favorite is still dolls, but the market is getting smaller and smaller, and now some puppet shows will be performed, but basically no one watches them except for the older generation. ”
"I'm very curious when you say that," Zou Yin's eldest brother said, "I also watched a lot of theaters when I was a child, but I never saw a puppet show." ”
"Whether it is an ordinary puppet, a mechanical puppet, or a marionette, the requirements for the controller are very high," Wang Yuehan continued, "Not only does it require some basic operational skills, but also to be able to perform, and it is also particular about pronouncing words, normal, witty, funny, and perverted are all knowledgeable, and some actors also require ventriloquism, so to really stage a good puppet show, it takes a lot of effort, which is why all kinds of toys are made, and the fourth uncle only has a soft spot for dolls." ”
"Yes," Qin Yunwan said, "this is also true to the original intention." ”
Only then did Qin Yunwan think that there was still a key piece of information that he had not said. "Actually, when I was in Lifeng City, Yue Han told me that the fourth uncle might suspect that there was a black soul stone in his house. ”
Wang Yuehan hurriedly explained in detail, "Fourth Uncle just thinks that a puppet at home is very strange, I described to him the characteristics of the Black Soul Stone, how does he sound like he is possessed by the Black Soul Stone, not that there is a problem with this puppet." ”
"However, we only know that the Black Soul Stone can be placed on top of life, making people become essences, which is a bit unreasonable. Yu Fei immediately got to the point.
"I think so too," Wang Yuehan said, "Who made things so coincidental, we are going to Yicheng this time, and we just happened to go to the fourth uncle's house to have a look!"
"Haha, Brother Yue Han, don't worry, since you go to Yicheng, you will definitely go to your hometown to have a look!"
"Yes, and I saved money on accommodation!"
"Okay, I understand, it's to visit my hometown, but in fact, I just want to find a place to stay, okay, anyway, you can all live in the fourth uncle's house!"
Qin Yunwan smiled, "Actually, at the beginning, I really didn't know that Yue Han would arrange for us, and I specially called my brother." ”
"Is it Li Fengcheng, what's it called?" Feng Xuan asked.
"Yongzheng, it's the one in Li Feng City," Qin Yunwei said, "Last time we helped him capture Li Dahu, this kid has been clamoring to repay us, Li Feng City and Yi Cheng are both in the northwest, not far away, so I called him over, and he also knows Yi Cheng very well." Since Yue Han arranged for us to stay, then let my brother be a full-time driver for you!"
After making a simple deployment, everyone went back to their respective residences and began to prepare. Tomorrow we will go to Yicheng!
In this way, early the next morning, a group of people got on the airship again and flew towards Yicheng.
When they arrived in Yicheng, it was already night, and several people hurriedly got off the plane, thinking that they would go directly to Yue Han's house, but after thinking about it, they still had to call Yongzheng first, after all, when they came to the place, they had to say hello to them first.
Qin Yunwan used the communication device to contact Yongzheng, who knew that this kid was waiting for them in Yicheng.
"Brother Yun Duan," Yongzheng said enthusiastically over there, "Anyway, our guerrillas are usually idle, and it's the same wherever we stay, I didn't hear that you guys are coming, I haven't left Yicheng all along, why did you contact me at this time, come and have dinner together!"
Qin Yunwan also felt that it was a bit bad to inform others so late, but fortunately, it was timely, so it was better to go over directly.
Arriving at the agreed place, Yongzheng was already waiting for them, "Brother Yundui, I also said that if you don't contact me again, I will contact you directly." Yongzheng said.
"I heard that you have also heard about our mission this time," Yun Du asked straight to the point.
Yongzheng nodded, "You underestimate us too much, maybe we are the first to know." Yongzheng didn't react much on his expression, which meant that there were too many people around, and he would talk about it later. Qin Yunwan didn't continue to ask.
After greeting for a while, Yongzheng took everyone to dinner. On the way, Brother Zou was very interested in the people next to him.
"Haha, look at that girl, she must have been transformed by the spirit of morning glory, and her head is full of morning glory decorations. Zou Yin looked at the man and said.
"Then why don't you take a look at that?" Wang Yuehan gestured to the person on Yin Ning's side, with two fangs pinned to his waist.
"Is it a wolf?" Yin Ning said.
"Say you know," Wang Yuehan didn't know what kind of animal's tusks it was, "Wild boars are not necessarily!" After speaking, the two of them laughed.
Wang Yuehan said, "Don't look at our Yicheng ordinary, it is actually a spiritual treasure land. ”
Yongzheng looked at the two, "Haha, let everyone laugh, many of the Holy Spirit people here in Yicheng will highlight their own characteristics, at best, this is to show off their own personality, at worst, they have never seen the world, after all, Yicheng is not comparable with other big cities, which will make them have a sense of superiority." ”
Wang Yuehan nodded.
Yongzheng just wanted to continue, but suddenly realized that Yue Han was also born in Yicheng, and looked at the red hair on Yue Han's head that highlighted his spiritual power, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Yue Han continued, "Yes, the people here in Yicheng are still more willing to highlight themselves, but most of them are not too wealthy, and although the clothes are good, they are relatively cheap. ”
"Young people, it's always good to show off your personality. Yongzheng said.
The place to eat is not far away, everyone chats together, looks at the scenery of the street, and before you know it, you will arrive. As soon as I turned the corner in front of me, a hotel appeared.
"Ho," Zou Yin sighed, "Brother Yongzheng, everyone can eat as much as you want, why do you go to such a big place." ”
Yongzheng said politely: "Where to eat is not the same, there is not much luxury here, I can't afford to invite a luxurious place, mainly to repay everyone, last time I made a great contribution! Haha, the pigeons here are very distinctive, take everyone over to taste." ”
Yun Du thinks that there are many birds in the northwest, and the people here are also good, but Brother Zou in this team is transformed by the spirit of the pigeon, and it is embarrassing, this eternal sign has really not changed at all, and the tiger head and tiger brain are very arrogant, but it doesn't matter, Brother Zou doesn't care about this.
When I arrived at the hotel, everyone gathered around the table, and there were really a lot of people at this point. The food was also served quickly, and the waiter quickly served half a roast pigeon to each person.
"Haha," Yue Han said happily, "I can finally eat roast pigeon, thank you Brother Yongzheng, it seems that you have spent a lot of money this time!"
"You're welcome," Yongzheng smiled, "Brother Yue Han is from Yicheng, you don't know that this thing is everywhere, and it's not a good dish at all! ”
"How can it be, this pigeon is roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, it makes people appetizing when they look at it!" Zhong Li said, tearing off the pigeon's wings.
"Look at it, these girls still like to eat," Yue Han pointed to the girls sitting next to each other, "Everyone is getting started, and their mouths are full of oil!
"You still like to judge girls," Yin Ning hurriedly swallowed the meat in his mouth, "Look at your virtue, the dipping sauce is rubbed on your nose!" Everyone looked at Yue Han and couldn't help laughing. Only Brother Zou Yin didn't know how to speak.
After a few more hot dishes, it's time to talk about the things to be investigated on this trip.
"Brother Yongzheng, let's talk about what is going on this time. ”
Yongzheng listened, leaned back in his chair, and didn't seem to know where to start.
"Brother Yundu, everyone, let me tell you about our volunteers first.
