Chapter Seventy-Two: Four Oases
More than 2,000 kilometers to the southwest of the No. 7 lifebox landing site, there is an oasis that cannot be found on the map. More than a dozen low-rise adobe houses are scattered in all corners of the oasis.
These adobe houses look dilapidated, as if they would collapse when the wind blows. But in reality, these adobe houses have been around for more than a thousand years. In the next thousand years, I am afraid that it will continue to exist.
Because, here is a powerful Force rune array. Any cultivator who comes here can sense the surging power of the Force Rune Array, consciously put away their arrogance, and conscientiously abide by the rules here.
This is the black market. The power reaches two continents and three countries, and the outlets are all over the black market around the world. Here, as long as you can afford it, there's nothing you can't buy.
A man in a black cloak, holding a little boy of five or six years old, white and fat, who looked very good, but his eyes were a little confused, walked into the black market.
Today is not a black market bazaar, only a very small number of people enter and exit the black market, and it seems very deserted.
At the door of the adobe house, there were no young men who were courteous to welcome them. Occasionally, there were a few young men squatting at the door basking in the sun, and they didn't bother to greet this big and small guys coming over.
These guys are all vicious, and if they come with children, they won't have much business. This is basically a universal rule.
The woman took Xiao Tian's hand and came to a low adobe house. There is a sign at the door of the adobe house, which reads: Sell Force equipment, Xuanjin mine maps, purchase all kinds of rare treasures, ancient books and paintings, and apply for household registration certificates.
The woman couldn't help but pouted and chuckled. This is probably similar to the old era, those small advertisements that said "specializing in repairing American aircraft carriers, specializing in the maintenance of nuclear submarines, unlocking and matching keys", first say two big words to bluff people, anyway, ordinary people can't find American aircraft carriers for him to repair, let alone drive nuclear submarines to land for him to maintain. Only unlocking with keys is his specialty.
The woman took Xiaotian's hand and walked into the adobe house. The room was dark, except for an oil lamp with a bean-sized glow.
The woman's eyesight is amazing, she can see at night, and she doesn't need light at all. She had already seen that the fat man who was napping on the counter was pretending to be asleep, but he was actually squinting and quietly looking at her.
The woman came to the counter and reached out and knocked on the counter.
"Bang bang bang". Although the sound didn't sound loud, it reached the ears of the fat man, but it was like Hong Zhong Dalu.
The fat man immediately understood that it was a high-ranking person, so he hurriedly raised his head, opened his eyes wide, showed a smiling face, and said, "What do you need when your guest comes to the door?"
"The household registration of the Eastern Chu State. ”
The fat man glanced at Xiao Tian. Xiaotian's skin is white and red, his hair is black, and his eyes are black, so he must be from the Eastern Chu Kingdom who didn't run.
The fat man glanced again, and the woman's exposed hand. The woman's skin color is not white, it is closer to wheat color, and this skin color is the most common in the Eastern Chu Kingdom.
He asked, "Please look at the appearance of the distinguished guest." ”
"When did this rule come to be?"
The fat man smiled and said: "Don't misunderstand, we don't mean to offend the guests, but we have recently investigated tightly, and they are not the people who look like the Eastern Chu Kingdom, and they are very well investigated." You don't want to spend money and you can't get things done, do you? ”
The woman let go of Xiaotian and reached out to take off her hood.
When the fat man saw the woman's face, he was visibly distracted for a moment. In this place where birds don't, seeing such a beautiful woman really made him a little excited.
"What's wrong?
The fat man hurriedly shook his head, "No problem, no problem." Then he asked, "Do you want it to be real or fake?"
The woman frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
It's a rookie. The fat man had a plan in his heart, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy.
In the past few years, the people who came to the black market were all old fritters, and they were more familiar with the business than those who opened shops like him, and they were monkeys with fine sticky hair, and they couldn't make any money at all. Now that a fat sheep has come so easily, how can he not be happy?
The fat man pressed his joy and explained: "Really, even if all the documents are real, there is indeed a person, but his photo is replaced by yours." ”
"Fake, that is, a person is created out of thin air, and all kinds of documents are fake. But please rest assured, these documents can definitely be fake, and there is no problem in passing through the customs check, but if you want to return to the place of household registration on the certificate, it is easy to be exposed. ”
"Where did the real documents come from?"
The fat man said: "It is said that this is the secret of our industry and cannot be divulged." However, the distinguished guest has already opened the Chrysostom, and of course I want to give you a face. ”
Then, he said mysteriously, "Actually, it's not complicated at all. In recent years, there has been no major war between Eastern Chu and Xiluo, and many people have come out to do business in order to seek wealth. ”
"It's just that from the Eastern Chu Kingdom to the Xiluo Kingdom, not only is the journey thousands of miles, but also the desert Gobi or the wasteland mountains along the way, as well as sandstorms, wolves, and robbers, which may be encountered at any time. ”
"Although trading can make tenfold and hundredfold profits, there are still a few who can really get rich. Many people came out to do business, and either lost their lives, or lost their goods and lost their property, making it difficult for them to return to their families and countries to invest. ”
"In order to survive, they are willing to do anything. Spending money to buy their household registration documents is like a ingots falling from the sky to them. ”
The woman suddenly realized, nodded, and asked, "Like me, do you have the right documents?"
"Yes, yes. The fat man's head is the same as a chicken pecking rice, "Distinguished guests rest assured, whether they are men, women, young or old, tall or short, I have them here." ”
"What price?"
The fat man did not hesitate, and stretched out three fat fingers, "Three thousand gold coins of Siro, or the equivalent of gold, will also do." ”
The woman looked at the fat man calmly and did not speak.
The fat man was a little weak-hearted, and glanced at Xiao Tian, who was squatting on the ground and looking at the ants, "The child also needs a household registration and documents, and I can give you a half-price discount." ”
The woman was still not angry, unhappy, or talking.
The fat man gritted his teeth, "Four thousand, you two only need four thousand." ”
The woman still looked at the fat man like a sculpture, and her clear eyes were like an X-ray machine.
The fat man felt that he was up and down, and she saw it all clearly. All of a sudden, sweat came out of his forehead.
The fat man wiped his sweat and showed an embarrassed smile, "Honorable guest, is it appropriate, you should give a word." ”
The woman snorted, "It's not a problem if the money is not money." ”
"Yes, lack of money is the problem. The fat man blurted out this sentence, and saw that the woman showed no signs of anger, so he cautiously asked: "So you agree?" What do you use to pay the bill? Xiluo gold coin or Eastern Chu silver dollar, or ......"
"When did I agree?" the woman interrupted the fat man with a slanted glance, "Did I say it?"
The fat man was depressed and asked, "Then how much are you going to sell?"
The woman raised a slender index finger.
"A thousand?" the fat man shouted in disbelief, "Honored guest, without a bargain like you, there is no way to talk at all." ”
"A rope. ”
The fat man was stunned, what rope can be worth so much money?
The woman lifts her cloak. Her waist is very thin, but not thin and slender, but toned and thin without any fat.
The woman tied a small leather bag the size of a palm around her waist, and the woman opened the leather bag and reached in, pulled out a rope head, and then pulled it all the way out.
The fat man's eyes were straight.
Space storage bag!
This is the best equipment that money can't buy.
The fat man couldn't help but have a trace of greed, and then he was snuffed out by himself. Those who have space storage equipment are all powerful cultivators, and their own little tricks are not other people's dishes at all.
The fat man is very glad that his attitude has always been very polite. Otherwise......
The woman pulled out a rope of more than ten meters from her bag and handed it to the fat man.
The rope is only as thick as a three-year-old child's finger, and it is soft and smooth, like silk.
The fat man took the rope and stretched it vigorously, and was surprised to find that the rope was very strong. He took a closer look, but found no silver silk, dark gold silk, or crystal spider silk. However, ordinary materials would never be so strong.
The fat man was surprised, "What kind of material is this made of?"
The woman hooked her fingers, and the fat man immediately stuck his head over. The woman approached his ear and said mysteriously, "This is a treasure handed down from ancient times, and it is priceless. ”
"Impossible, right?" the fat man looked incredulous.
"Don't believe me?" the woman scoffed, "I don't see it at first glance." Maybe you don't know the goods, you can find someone who knows the goods. I'll wait for you here for half an hour. ”
The fat man was suspicious, coiled up the ten-meter-long rope, confessed his guilt, told the young man to wait for him, and hurried out.
Twenty minutes later, the fat man rushed back.
"Honorable guest, this business is done, it is done. I'll find you a hukou certificate. ”
A flash of surprise flashed across the woman's face. She actually didn't recognize what the rope was made of, she deliberately bluffed the fat man just now, but she didn't expect to be blinded by her.
The woman's face immediately returned to normal, and she said with a determined face: "I guess there should be someone here." ”
The fat man smiled from ear to ear, and the deal made him a big bargain. He hurriedly walked to the back of the counter, opened the drawer, and took out a large stack of cards from it and spread it on the counter, "Distinguished guest, wait a minute, I will find you a few materials suitable for your situation." ”
The fat man rummaged through a pile of cards, picked up one and handed it to the woman, and said happily, "Well, this should be a good fit." ”
The woman took the card and read softly: "Fang Hongliu, female, from Fangjia Village, fifty miles southwest of Jinou City, Longxi. At the age of sixteen, he married Wang Laosan of Wangjiazhuang in the same county. In the third year, there was a severe drought in Longxi, and the couple followed a small caravan to Kashgar to settle down, thinking that they would open a small restaurant for a living. ”
The couple lived in Kashgar for two years. Later, the two were hired by a caravan to the Canaan Federation as a team and maid, and encountered a sandstorm on the way, Wang Laosan died, she almost died, and was placed here by the caravan, and Yan Ming brought it back on the return trip. After that, the caravan was never heard from again, and she was left behind. ”
The woman looked up at the fat man, "What about people now?"
The fat man thought for a moment and said, "This is the information from five years ago. As I remember, she seemed to have died of illness last year. ”
The woman asked, "It doesn't say she has children." ”
The fat man said, "It's not a problem. Just go to Kashgar to find a clerk and spend some money to supplement the registration. ”
The woman nodded, "Okay, from now on, I will be Sister-in-law Fang Hongliu." Good son," she looked at the little boy who was squatting on the ground looking at the ants, "you will be Wang Xiaotian from now on." ”
The little boy heard the woman's voice, raised his head, looked at the woman and smiled happily.
This woman is Ye Annie, who escaped from the country of Xiluo not long ago. She took her cheap son, No. 7 Wang Xiaotian, who she picked up halfway, and used the purchased documents to successfully clear customs and arrive in Kashre, and then spent a little time to make up the household registration for Wang Xiaotian.
After a while, Ye Annie changed her face and returned to Wangjiazhuang in Jinoucheng with Wang Xiaotian, and with the help of the bald old Chen, she entered Qingchuan Station and became a helper.
The mother and son lived a quiet and poor life, until a group of lurkers, who bought two traitors from the Eastern Chu Kingdom, entered the Qingchuan Station where their mother and son were located on a stormy evening.
The threads of fate of countless people, in the small hands of the goddess of fate, twisted, entangled, and finally woven into a net to wipe them out.
