Chapter 9: The Old Town

With a bright light and a strong pulling sensation hit.

When he opened his eyes again, the sunlight shining on his face in front of him made Ding Xiaoyi feel a little uncomfortable and closed his eyes.

It took a while to get used to it.

With a glance, he was standing on the edge of the river not far from the pier.

At this time, Ding Xiaoyi's first thought was the gold in his pocket.

Reach out and touch it, and put the gold back in your hand.

I saw that this ingot of gold, which was less than the size of a palm, reflected a dazzling luster in the sun.

This made Ding Xiaoyi breathe a sigh of relief.

At least nothing happened as he feared.

The most fearful thing is to take it back and see that the gold will turn into stone.

For example, the old man often likes to play tricks on himself, often telling him horror stories late at night.

It is said that those psionic creatures love to deceive people, and a sumptuous lunch, only to find out at the end that the meat is all toads, poisonous snakes, and rats.

What kind of gold treasure is a trick or something.

Now the gold fell into his hands.

This also further confirms from the side that the new home of firewood is not his illusion.

After putting away the gold, Ding Xiaoyi took a car to the old town of S City, intending to cash out the gold in his hand first.

S City is the financial trading market in their 6 districts, and it is also the top three in the district in terms of economy, second only to the first-tier cities like City A.

But most of the financial institutions are located in the western part of the city or in the new district.

And the reason why I came to the old city is also because I have my own considerations.

The Old Town, no matter what the city is, has a lot of distinct features.

Aging streets.

Personnel complex.

Aging is severe.

In addition to the bad reputation among the locals, the most mentioned is the food court.

This piece is quite familiar to me, and I walked through the main street with a familiar car, turned to the side path, and turned around and walked to a gold store.

In fact, the gold in my hands is not very easy to handle.

The first has no certificate, and the second has no source.

It can only be sold at a discount to these small gold shops or pawn shops.

Prices will be pushed down a lot.

It's okay to have a small number, but once the number is too much, it will be very troublesome.

And he has just gone bankrupt, and suddenly a large amount of money appears in his name, and I believe that the liquidation company will definitely come to find trouble for him.

The owner of the gold shop squinted and glanced Ding Xiaoyi up and down, then casually threw the gold into the furnace next to him for re-refining.

Although, there are many ways to test gold in the league now.

Falsifying technologies are always ahead of these test methods.

At this time, the most primitive way is often the most reliable.

After refining the gold, it was weighed again, and after seeing that the weight on it had not changed, the boss had a business smile on his face.

"Brother, your gold is very pure, and I won't take advantage of you.

But you also have to think about my difficulties, after all, this thing has no certificate, and the origin is ...... Hehe.

I'm taking the risk, the things are in my hands, and I have to lose money every day about the rent of water and electricity, and the real price is 250,000 yuan. ”

The boss has squinted triangular eyes and a pair of mustaches.

It seems that it should be said very well, called a thief's eyebrows, but the other party is obviously also a master who can speak well.

I won't take advantage of you in one bite, so you can rest assured.

In addition, he told you that he is also a loss-making business, giving you the feeling that I am losing money and taking risks to help you.

If you change your skin, you probably won't be embarrassed to continue bargaining.

It's a pity that Ding Xiaoyi in front of the boss is not the kind of stunned young man who has just stepped out of society.

In terms of bargaining, he will definitely not be a rookie.

He didn't listen to the words in the boss's mouth, shook his head and said: "280,000, you can take it, if you can, I'll change it, don't force it." ”

Saying that, Ding Xiaoyi casually took the gold ingots on the table and dissolved them into gold ingots, and it was better for him to sell them if he changed them.

Seeing that the big customer who came to the door was about to leave, the boss had a smile on his face, and hurriedly grabbed Ding Xiaoyi and complained: "270,000, 270,000 is okay, my small business is really easy to smash." ”

"Two hundred and seventy-eight thousand, part of which you hit on this card, and the rest of all cash."

A credit card was stuffed into the boss's arms without saying anything, so that the next words prepared by the boss were completely useless for a while.

I can only take the card and give Ding Xiaoyi money.

The amount owed was transferred directly to the credit card.

For the rest of the money, Ding Xiaoyi asked for cash, and put nearly 100,000 alliance coins into his bag, which still has this very heavy weight.

As for the boss...... Don't look at his crying face, in fact, he can earn 30,000 alliance coins for this transaction.

It's just a matter of changing hands, and there is no need to press anything at all.

Listen to his nonsense, you don't even know if you're dead.

After collecting the money, he did not intend to go back like this, but wandered around the old city, making a list of purchases in his mind as he went.

After all, an engine alone is not enough, and a lot of parts are needed.

This is the reason why Ding Xiaoyi chose to come to the old city.

The Old Town doesn't seem to be another business district.

If you want to compare it.

It's more like a hodgepodge, with turnips and cabbage as well as seafood and river delicacies, and often with a spoonful, you will find that it contains three religions and nine streams.

At this time, the old man who was sweeping the floor in front of him.

You will never guess whether he is a prodigal son in love who once wandered the rivers and lakes, or a white-haired old man who lives in seclusion here.

Or ......

"Old man Wang, why did you leave so early today, and you have to go back to collect rent!"

The sweeping man put down the broom in his hand, and looked at the high-rise of the community that had been built for less than two years in the distance at a thirty-six degree angle: "But isn't it, a ten-story building, more tired than sweeping the floor, delaying this afternoon, I will be deducted from my salary again, seventy yuan." ”

Thinking of his deducted salary, the uncle looked distressed.

Ding Xiaoyi on the side looked envious, people are collecting rent, and he is ......

Thinking that he still had a big-headed monster at home that couldn't eat like a rice bucket, Ding Xiaoyi silently patted his backpack and walked away.

There are a lot of things to procure.

In addition to food, there are many things that need to be purchased.

For example, a complete set of multi-functional toolboxes.

This set of tools is not cheap, and he walked around the street and didn't see a suitable one.

Not only because of the price, but also because the brand is not good enough.

Now when it comes to tools, it is still a century-old brand in District 18, and Dezhou Tools is the best.

But now that the alliance is vigorously exploring those new continents, these good brand tools are naturally leisurely provided to the logistics of the alliance army, resulting in the fact that it is difficult to buy German tools on the market now.

The second-level tool is not bad, but it is just that you have to disassemble the engine on the explorer's body, and in many places, the screw twist cap needs a unique interface to disassemble.

"It's better to order online, it's just a little longer."

Ding Xiaoyi looked at the time, it was already half past eight, and there was no point in continuing to shop.

After walking out of the mall, I planned to find a safe place where no one was around, and take out the keys to go home.

The choice of the old town for yourself is also with this in mind.

After all, in the old city, because of the aging streets and complex terrain, many places are pitch black, and there are not even street lights.

Not to mention the camera.

Away from the bustling main thoroughfares and head out onto the streets, you'll find that they're two different worlds from the bright and noisy main thoroughfares.

It's like the place under an oil lamp where the light doesn't shine.

The silence was terrible, and the only light source was the dim halogen lamp more than ten meters away, the dim yellow light, which could only illuminate the distance of less than three meters under the lamp.

Instead, it makes the surroundings even darker.

Ding Xiaoyi didn't plan to go deep into the alley, just wanted to find a quiet and uninhabited place to go home.

Take out the key from your bosom and put it in the palm of your hand, and gently touch it with your palm.

But at this time.

Dada......

A series of hurried footsteps hit, it was the sound of high heels and bluestone slabs colliding together, crisp, powerful, and audible from a distance.

"Someone!"

Quickly put away the key and hide the figure in the darkness.

The grim eyes were like an owl on the night watch, vigilantly patrolling the direction of the sound source.

"Dada......"

The sound grew faster and faster, each one as rapid as a small drum striking on the lips of the heart.

"It's coming!"

As the blurred figure under the halogen lamp in the distance gradually became clear, it was the pair of bright red high heels that caught the eye.

In the dark night and dim light, the bright red high heels seemed to be a bright blood light, dyed with new colors in this black and white world.

Bright and rich, but I don't know why, when I saw these shoes, I felt an indescribable twist in my heart for a while.

It seems that the shoes are a little too bright red.

Da Da Da ......

As the shoe moves forward, the owner of the shoe becomes clear in the light.

But when the figure of the owner of the shoes became clear.

Ding Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment: "Perverted, perverted?"

The figure under the light in front of him is not clear from a distance, about one meter seven or eight tall, not strong, but with broad shoulders, it is clearly a man.

A man wears big red heels in the middle of the night??

This can't help but bring to mind some kind of fetish, such as a liking to collect women's lingerie and so on.

He doesn't have any discriminatory thoughts about these people.

As long as it doesn't affect other people's lives, the source of the goods is legitimate, and you manage what others like to do.

But even so, when I think of a man who has a busy day in the middle of the night, he quietly takes out a pair of bright red high heels from under the bed and puts them on his feet, and may even twist and pinch in front of the mirror to vent his distorted desires.

As soon as that picture appeared in his mind, Ding Xiaoyi still couldn't stop shivering.

I couldn't help urging the other party to leave as soon as possible, just as if I didn't see it.

It's just that at this moment, unexpectedly, the man suddenly paused, and his stiff body turned around step by step.

A pair of bloodshot eyes in those sunken eye sockets couldn't help but lock on Ding Xiaoyi's body.

"Little brother, I can't walk, you can help me......"
