Chapter 35 Rickshaw Driver

"That's right! The rickshaw driver can see my origin at a glance, not to mention those old and fat people? How could they not see it? "I shouted in my heart.

I thought of a possibility, that is, those four dead fat men, most of them regarded me as a spy, and ostensibly agreed to the plan I said, but in fact they sent someone to check on me, and it is estimated that if I am found to be fake, it is very likely to arrest me!

Come to think of it, this is probably the most likely.

"Groove!" I yelled and cursed.

After sulking for a while, I began to interrogate, "Do you know that there is a place in this city to buy things?" ”

"You know, what do you want to buy? Weapons? Foodstuff? Or is it a drug? I can find you the right buyer and make sure you don't lose money. "The rickshaw driver, obviously happy, is a lot faster under his feet.

I wanted to say it, but suddenly I stopped, the reason is very simple, that is, the wealth can not be exposed, all the way, I was pitted all the way, this rickshaw driver will not pit me, so I changed the words to my lips: "No, it's all sold out, I want to ask the price, see if it's a loss!" ”

The rickshaw driver sighed in obvious disappointment: "Then you must be selling at a loss, and there is no one here who can't sell at a loss." ”

"Why?" I asked, puzzled.

"Because this is tradition, tradition is to pit newcomers, who are not pit newcomers? How can newcomers get rich if they don't pit them? "The rickshaw driver doesn't hide it, he tells the truth.

I was speechless and helpless.

But I'm glad I just said that I didn't sell out, although the other party didn't necessarily believe it, but at least I stopped the idea of wanting to sell, and I didn't have to be cheated very miserable.

"Are there any requirements for going to Fugui City here?" Turning the subject, I asked again.

"The entrance fee to the city is one hundred shells, and you have to search your body, if you bring any good things with you, it is best to sell them, otherwise, before entering the rich city, all of them will be swallowed by you, and you have no place to reason." The rickshaw driver is very powerful, obviously not believing me to say that I don't have it, so I turned around and turned the topic back.

Look at this meaning, it is the iron heart that has eaten the scales, and wants to make a fortune from me.

I didn't answer the question and asked, "Can anyone enter?" ”

"Of course not, didn't you say it, a hundred shells to enter the city, we ordinary people are willing to spend a hundred shells to enter the rich city.

Don't look at me asking you for ten shell dollars a day's car money, I still have to support my family, ten shell dollars, which is just enough for a day's expenses. If the family is still sick, then they will have to go into debt, and a family of three, in the civilian city, it would be good to save 100 shells a month.

Who is willing to spend 100 shells to go to the rich city, so not everyone can enter! The rickshaw driver sighed.

I was speechless, and although I questioned the other person's ability to understand, I was very sympathetic to what the other person said.

It happened to be close to dinner, so I asked the driver to find a random place to eat.

Three dishes and one soup for two people, five shellfish.

The reason why it is so cheap is mainly because there are three dishes and one soup, all of which are fish, shrimp, crabs, and seaweed, which are all cheap, and the most expensive is actually rice.

A bowl of shellfish coins, but the portion is quite large, I can eat it alone, I can eat it full.

The rickshaw driver obviously didn't have enough to eat, but I didn't ask him for more, but asked him to wipe out all the dishes and soup that were left.

This rickshaw driver, don't look at the thin people like a bamboo pole, but the amount of food is really amazing, a large bowl of soup, I only drank a small bowl, and the rest of him took the sea bowl to dry, the working people are really hard.

Of course, there are also chickens, ducks, pigs, beef and mutton, these are expensive, just a small plate of braised pork, just about ten yuan, it costs more than 20 shells, and the rickshaw driver does not eat or drink for two days to buy it.

Later, when I asked, the rickshaw driver said: "Our ancestors came here during the Ming Dynasty, don't think that we are all antiques, our thoughts are similar to the land world outside you, but we may have less knowledge."

After so many years of survival, we have actually been accustomed to eating fish, shrimp and crabs, and we are not hungry for those beef and mutton or anything, to be honest, I think that fish belly is more delicious than braised pork. ”

"Listen to what you mean, have you eaten it?" I asked curiously.

"Of course, one year, there was also a newcomer who came around, he heard that I had never eaten braised pork, so he specially ordered a plate for me, I was reluctant to eat it, packed it and took it back, and ate it with my wife and children, but I found that the fish belly made by my wife was delicious!" The rickshaw driver said.

I don't think the rickshaw driver is bragging, the southeast coastal area, is also used to eating fish, they don't feel tired of eating seafood every day, pork and duck may still eat some, chicken is also occasionally eaten, beef and mutton may not be eaten once a year.

After that, under the pull of the rickshaw driver, I went around most of the civilian city, chatting and inquiring about the news as I turned.

When you're tired, stop and rest for a while, drink some water and eat something.

I walked around until dark, and after eating, I asked the rickshaw driver to find me a hotel to stay in.

This time there is no free, so I don't live in a superior room either, not because I can't afford it, but it's low-key.

Someone like me who is instantly recognizable as a newcomer is easy to notice, so I have to keep a low profile.

So I even changed my clothes, which still looked a little different from the people here, but it wasn't the kind that you could tell at a glance.

I didn't say anything all night, and the next day I continued to make an appointment with the rickshaw driver and asked him to pull me around.

The reason is very simple, I definitely want to enter the city of fortune to have a look, and maybe I even want to go to the water city in the center of the underwater world to see what it is like.

Before entering the city, I need to sell everything on me and cash them out, only then will the loss be minimal.

Looking at the towering walls of Fugui City, I wondered, "Why is it so high?" ”

"Don't know? We don't know, people who haven't been in it will never know what it's like on the other side of the wall! The rickshaw driver shook his head.

"Didn't anyone who ever came back, say?" I asked curiously.

"Yes, but the legends are different." The rickshaw driver said.

"What's the difference?" I'm getting better.

"I heard my grandfather say that his grandfather, that is, my grandfather's grandfather, once worked for the city lord of the civilian city, and was fortunate enough to follow him into it once, and there were pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and eighteen bends in mountain roads. However, I have heard in recent years that it is full of high-rise buildings, villas, and streets

Car! What does a car look like? I heard that it is four wheels, which is much faster than the yellow sports car. The rickshaw driver finally asked innocently.

"Aang?" I'm also confused, this gap is too big, and where did the car come from? Is this underwater world big enough to drive a car?

But I can't say for sure, I remember that the city gate of the refugee city to the gate of the civilian city is at least twenty or thirty kilometers, and the city wall from the civilian city to the rich city is at least thirty or forty kilometers.

Maybe it's bigger enough to drive, but where does that come from? The car burns oil? Or do you want to burn electricity? Looking at the walls that I couldn't see at the top, I lost my mind.

"Isn't that weird, you say? I believe that my grandfather's grandfather will not lie to my grandfather, and my grandfather will not lie to me, but the two are different, why do you say? The rickshaw driver asked me again.

I was also puzzled, just when I didn't know how to explain it, and when I wanted to admit it, I suddenly remembered the first question he asked me, that is, what the car looked like, so I took out my mobile phone and took out a photo of the car from it to show the other party: "Look at this kind of thing, four wheels, it needs to be driven, faster than a rickshaw." ”

The rickshaw driver stared at the car for a long time, and finally sighed: "You look really good, but you are a mobile phone, right?" I have heard of and even seen those who can take pictures, and this civilian city is also for sale, very expensive and expensive, enough to buy a house.

I heard that this thing can transmit sound for thousands of miles.

I also said what kind of technology is this called, it's really strange, we haven't seen many things, for example, this rickshaw, my grandfather's grandfather didn't have it at the time, I heard my grandfather say that it was brought by people a hundred years ago, my grandfather did this, and then my dad, I did this. ”

Listening to the rickshaw driver's chatter, but the inspiration it brought me, I knew why the two descriptions before and after are so different, because the times are developing, more than a hundred years ago, everyone was also in a dilapidated house, but today there are also high-rise buildings everywhere.

I figured out this link, so I simply told the rickshaw driver the truth, and the rickshaw driver suddenly became happy: "In the future, I will never have to fight with others again, no one is a liar." ”

I listened and smiled, I didn't expect that the rickshaw driver, who was almost forty, would fight for righteousness because of this kind of thing.

"By the way, you said that your grandfather's grandfather went to Fugui City, did you see what it was like to be a fish man? Is it the legendary Water Man? I thought of this question and asked it.

I've heard from other places before, but most of them say they're half-man, half-fish, but no one has seen them with their own eyes.

Now that I heard that the grandfather of the rickshaw driver had been there, then ask and see if there are any clues.

"According to my grandfather's grandfather, he hasn't really seen it either, but he has seen a lot of monsters in it, with fish heads and human bodies, and with human heads and fish bodies, all of them look like monsters, not like people. But he had seen a half-fish man, that kind of person, with gills, scales on his body, even on his face, webbed hands and feet, bulging eyes, and membranes on them, and he didn't look very much like a human anyway. After my grandfather's grandfather came back from Fugui City, he quit his job as the city lord's family, and he made a family rule, even if it is difficult and extinct, he is not allowed to get involved with fish people for the sake of glory and wealth, and become a monster that does not look like a human. When the rickshaw driver said this, he was a little emotional and a little proud.
