"Why are you afraid of snakes?" It wasn't Tang Yiyi who asked me, but the monster with a snakehead and a human body.

I didn't speak, I was just about to leave, but the other party was very polite: "It's okay, you don't have to leave, I just finished buying, I'm leaving!" ”

After the other party finished speaking, he took his own fried hairtail and left.

"How much?" The stall owner greeted me.

But because I was afraid of snakes, I was so afraid that I waved my hand again and again, indicating that I didn't want to.

Tang Yiyi saw that I was almost dying, and she was so anxious that she almost cried: "What should I do?" ”

I smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, it's just a little weak, you can help me to sit over there for a while!" ”

Tang Yiyi helped me to a stall selling cold noodles, and I was relieved for a while.

"What's wrong with you? No, let's go back! "Tang Yiyi is still very worried about me.

I waved my hand and said, "Okay, it's okay, who said I can't do it, I'm fine when I enter the cave now!" ”

"You... Don't talk nonsense! Tang Yiyi was ashamed and annoyed: "Don't talk nonsense, what if someone hears it?" ”

"Afraid of what? Men and women say this, look over there, not only talk but do it! I motioned to Tang Yiyi to look at a couple of men and women not far away, the man was pinching the woman's ass with his hand, the woman was not only not angry, objected, and even twisted her buttocks, talking to the man with a smile on her face.

"Look over there!" I pointed to a couple of men and women who were doing intimate movements to show Tang Yiyi.

Tang Yiyi took a sip: "It's really faceless and skinless!" Ah~"

As soon as she finished speaking, she screamed, but the next second stopped, in such a noisy environment, her half voice, of course, did not attract anyone's attention.

Tang Yiyi grabbed my claws and kept them in his hands.

"What? What are you holding my hand for? Afraid I'll get lost? Or ran away? I said deliberately.

"I'm afraid you'll mess around!" Tang Yiyi glared at me viciously.

I ordered a cold noodle by the way, a very small portion, the kind that one person doesn't have in one bite, very expensive, five shell coins.

In fact, everything on this snack floor is very expensive, and the portions are very small.

But no one questioned it, and of course I couldn't bring it up, otherwise it would seem like I was low.

But I really can't eat enough, "I can't eat this amount in one bite!" I complained.

The boss next to him smiled and said: "Guests, you can order again, and you can also eat other things, there are tens of thousands of stalls here, each stall has a taste, we are full, then the food of other stalls can not be tasted, it is a pity!" ”

After listening to the boss's words, I immediately felt that the boss was very reasonable, and he would not only be able to do business, but also be a person.

So Tang Yiyi and I went to eat other things.

I really can't finish eating, I come to eat every day, even if I don't eat the same thing every time, it's enough to eat for a month.

When I was almost done, I started to observe the half-fishmen.

Really, as I heard before, these half-fish people are either human-headed and fish-headed, or human-headed snake-headed; It's either a fish-headed human body, or a snake-headed human body, and the other is the kind of people who sell fritters and tell me that they are fish-people, and they are covered in numbers

Scales, webbed hands and feet, and gills under the armpits.

And the fact that I see them here proves that they are not real fishmen.

It's also half-fish-people, in fact, all half-fish-people have gills under their armpits.

And the least common of them is actually the half-fish people with human heads and fish bodies, because they are inconvenient to walk, and when they come out, special people will carry them out with a slide bar.

And most of the half-fish people I've seen so far are like the snake-headed guy I met before.

They are courteous and kind to people.

Tipping is also common, and most of the vendors here, or all of them, are very fond of them.

There are no more people who look at them strangely, as if they are the same people as their own kind, on the contrary, there are very few people like me who star, very little, very little.

As the saying goes, it's not strange to see a lot, and most of the people who live here have lived for several generations, or even more than ten generations, and have already merged with all the half-fish people.

The half-fish people are the real nobles in the rich city here, no one dares to provoke them, and they don't fly high, on the contrary, there are some noble children of human beings, but they are flying one by one.

The human aristocracy here is the one mentioned earlier, who has made heavy contributions.

For example, the person who designed and built this kind of skyscraper, the founder of modern Fugui City, and the deputy city lord of Fugui City - Yang Ming.

The Yang family is also the only pure human who owns two skyscrapers in Fugui City.

This is a huge contribution, there are also some small contributions, being named a nobleman, living under some big nobles, but because it is a nobleman, it has a part of the dividends of the industry, so there is no need to work, every day is to eat, drink and have fun, and naturally develop a flying and domineering character.

For example, I just saw a few drunk guys overturning people's stalls.

However, the stall owner was not angry or afraid, but just hid and reported to the administrator.

Soon the caretaker showed up and asked the people to take the people away and compensate the stall owner for the costs.

"That's the young master of a small family in this mansion, who often does this kind of thing, and when he drinks too much, he goes crazy! Generally, if you don't take a life, you only need to lose money, even if you take a life, it is all compensation, isolation and detention, and you are not allowed to go out again, you will not be sentenced to death, this is the privilege of the nobles here! Tang Yiyi saw that I had been staring at the people who had just left, so he explained to me.

"Damn, is the nobility so useful?" I couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course, the nobility is very, very useful in the rich city, and different fees can be waived according to the different levels of the nobility. For example, the service fee for my mother's hospitalization is exempted from the aristocracy, and for example, there are discounts for shopping, for example, our house, we ordinary people need 30,000 square meters to buy, and the aristocracy can be cheaper to 11,000 square meters at most according to different levels! This is the purchase of things, and there is also a part of the tax deduction for the purchase of things. Tang Yiyi said, looking very envious.

"So how do you get it? The aristocracy is so good, I have to get one too! "I'm joking, of course, if you really have a chance, you can get one, because only when you get the title of nobility can you be qualified to enter the noble circle, and it is possible to find out the news I want.

Tang Yiyi took it seriously, she said with an ugly face: "We want to get the title of nobility, yes."

Either a great contribution, or 。。。。。。 ”

"Or what?" I asked when I saw that her words had suddenly stopped.

"It's either a beautiful woman who contributes!" When Tang Yiyi said this, her face was a little pale.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong? I don't think your face looks good! I said and hugged Tang Yiyi in my arms.

Tang Yiyi relied on me for a while, and finally relieved, she said: "Someone once wanted me to go, at that time in order to raise money for my mother, I almost agreed, because I was afraid that my mother would have no one to take care of, so I discussed it with my mother, and after my mother heard it, she resolutely disagreed, saying that if I dared to agree, I would commit suicide."

Then I didn't go.

But I also heard one thing, my mother said that my grandfather once left a last word, and he couldn't go to Watertown when he died. ”

"Why?" I was puzzled.

"Listen to my mother, and all the rumors, none of the women who have been to Watertown have ever returned." Tang Yiyi said.

"Maybe you're living in Watertown?" I said subconsciously.

"Even if you live in the water city, there should always be news coming in, you have also seen this underwater world, even if refugees want to enter and exit the rich city, it is very easy, but after so many years, no one has come back, no one has sent out the news, there is a problem! I've heard that the women all died in the end. Tang Yiyi told me about her cognition and some hearsay news.

"I'm wondering, if I had said yes, would I have died, and I wouldn't have met you!" Tang Yiyi suddenly said sadly.

I hurriedly hugged her: "What nonsense? What doesn't die. For all the, I have to punish you. ”

After speaking, I kissed Tang Yiyi fiercely, Tang Yiyi was ashamed and annoyed, and quickly pushed me away.

"In other words, some human nobles are actually women they sent in, giving them the status of nobles?" I asked in the last affirmation.

"Yes, as long as the trees sent in the woman reach a certain level, you can become a nobleman, and there is another way, climb the current nobles, marry some of the current nobles, or give the daughters of your own family to the big nobles as a quota for the big nobles, and send them into the water city. The drunken madman you saw just now, that's how the family got up. ”

"Still a spot?" I asked in amazement.

"That's right, all the owners of the mansion have to send at least one woman into the water city every year, and of course they can send more. If you complete the task, you will be fine, and the noble level that is not completed will be reduced, although there is no mention of removing the noble title, but the low level is likely to cause you to lose sovereignty over certain industries, such as many buildings, and they will change hands.

Among the thousand skyscrapers you see, some are generally human, but among these human beings, only one-fifth are people who have really contributed to get the identity of the owner of the building, and the remaining four-fifths are obtained by sending a large number of women into the water city and piling up the aristocratic rank. While Tang Yiyi explained, he seemed to be very disdainful of this behavior of human beings themselves.

I was actually very angry when I heard it: "This is very in line with the character habits of the Chinese, most of the powerful people, for the sake of glory and wealth, there is no bottom line at all, only the common people still adhere to the final bottom line, if there were no people, the Chinese nation would have died long ago!" ”
