Chapter Twenty-Four: The People of the City

It's impossible to just find a place to sleep on the street outside, Ivan doesn't have much copper money on his body, and he has to save money at a special time, so he really has to plan it well today, otherwise he doesn't know what to do.

"That's what you said, I didn't think about it yet, it definitely depends on where you are going today, what the basic route is."

After Ivan said this, Yao Qiao did not answer immediately, but nodded first, agreeing with his ideas and suggestions.

The two sat on a stool, Ivan's eyes rolling around in his sockets, pondering what to do best.

At this time, it was finally decided to start discussing how to arrange today's itinerary, even if the voice fell silently.

Obviously, neither side knows much about what the other party might think about this matter, and they hope that it will not be too troublesome.

After all, if what Ivan said came true, then it would still be very risky to spend the whole day today, and he had to find a place to avoid it first.

Instead of walking around the border city so glamorously, as if he was afraid that others would not see him, Ivan had his concerns.

This concern Yao Qiao had heard before, so naturally he could be regarded as a shot in the arm, everything was simple, and there was no need to look for a place everywhere today.

Even if she can't go back to the previous inn, Yao Qiao still wants to find an inn to stay with Ivan, even if it may be very boring.

But Ivan's life safety is critical, in her own words, Yao Qiao did not consider this aspect, she is not afraid of birth, old age, sickness and death.

However, in Yao Qiao's eyes, Ivan was a little greedy for life and afraid of death, to be precise, too cautious, afraid of accidents.

Whether it was his own accident or Yao Qiao's own accident, Ivan's decisions had his reasons, and she understood them.

This also allows the two people to sit on the stool facing each other, and both hands are subconsciously resting on the table, without supporting their necks.

Everything seems to be calm, and in the eyes of outsiders, they will not think that there is anything very strange about the two of them, it is just a young man and woman, just a young man and woman, who take a break after eating, and no one will drive them away at this time.

In fact, behind the seemingly calm scene, there are some unknown conspiracies, but they are not aware of them.

It's just that the two of them have spent too much time on today's breakfast, and someone is walking while they are not leaving.

It wasn't just Ivan who was walking, but also those who were preparing to leave, and those he couldn't see.

For example, when Ivan was in the inn in the morning, he met the shopkeeper, and later the small settlement was a very risky existence.

But the two people who sat on the stool and talked about this matter didn't know the movement of the shopkeeper and where he was at the moment.

It was impossible for Ivan to send someone to keep an eye on the shopkeeper in front of Yao Qiao, they were walking fast, as if they had fled the scene.

After the two of them left, the shopkeeper left the inn faster, they walked on the front foot, and he left on the back foot.

Without the two of them noticing it at all, the shopkeeper walked out of the inn and returned to the appearance of ordinary people.

After he walked out of the inn, he walked towards the border city towards the gate in the direction of the imperial city, and this shopkeeper was obviously very purposeful.

He didn't mean to stay in the city for longer, he was more like a secret agent, after finding out the specific situation and situation, he quickly prepared to leave, the shop Xiaoer would not stay in the city for too long, he was also very familiar with the route.

It's just that when the shopkeeper left, he walked through many street intersections in the border city, and he could see beggars lying on their stomachs or squatting.

When the beggar didn't know what he was doing, the shopkeeper passed by, although he would not give some money to help them.

But there will definitely be no disdain for them, this is not enough, this shopkeeper is like a Pingming people's shopkeeper.

He was wearing very simple clothes, which looked very consistent with this border city, not like an outsider.

and when the shopkeeper walks, he will greet some pedestrians on the road from time to time, and his accent is the same as theirs.

It's basically the original inhabitants of a standard border city, the kind of people who have lived here for a few years.

His pace is not very fast, and if it is too fast, it can easily arouse the suspicion of those around him. Even if you are in a hurry, when you get here, you will not want to leave here quickly, and rarely, the charm of the border city itself will be attractive.

Most of them will first find an inn when they arrive at a city, and prepare it for backup when they rest at night, so that it will not be on the streets.

In addition, there are not many people who originally lived in the border city, and there are not many people who go out of the city, and living here basically has the premise.

Some people live in the city where they used to live, their families are already poor, and they have no relatives who are willing to help, so they wander here.

Some people used to be famous families, and their official positions were too high, so they thought about corruption and bribery, and they were sent to exile here after being reported.

Some people don't want to be imprisoned in their previous lives for the rest of their lives in order to find a new life, and come here to change their lives.

Some are envoys from Iraq who want to establish friendly relations and exchanges with neighboring countries, or envoys from other countries.

Some people's parents were born and raised here, and those who live in this city are also born in border cities.

Some people know at a glance that they are young men and girls who want to play around and explore the new world.

Basically, most of the people in the border city are these people, or some people who are in a hurry and don't know where they come from.

In fact, it is not the majority of people who are in a hurry, but they still have to be guarded against, as long as there are strangers coming, someone will definitely notice. In the same way, if someone wants to leave the city, there will be people who will observe it secretly, and this city is more transparent than many cities in the country.

And this shopkeeper obviously knew these rules in the border city for a long time, as if everything was expected and easy.

Whether it was coming out of the inn as if nothing had happened, or greeting people everywhere, the route went straight to the city gate.

Or is the facial expression very flat, sometimes friendly and sometimes indifferent, these are the norms, the norm for people who live here.

If you say that you are happy and happy every day, and laugh every day, it is almost rare, and it is difficult to find people with this kind of life.

Except for a fresh person, most of the people have a plain face, and they don't need superfluous expressions when they live here.

It's like being treated unfairly in this city, but it's not.

It's just that the positive energy of this city is really rare compared to the imperial city, and it is difficult to avoid.
