Chapter 553: Nanshan

Mi Doudou guessed correctly, the grave grass of the former boss of Nanshan has indeed changed sixteen stubbles.

Back then, with the help of Shi Xiangyun, Midoudou auctioned the awakening reagent that was still in the experimental stage in Yubei Square in Yucheng. Although they repeatedly stated that the awakening reagent was not safe and could lead to the death of the user, the auction scene was still hot, with seven forces participating in the competition. In the end, the Nanshan base won five awakening reagents with 20 bags of rice, 1 ton of canned food, and 500 kilograms of bacon.

For Nanshan, a big customer, Midoudou kindly presented a reagent to Nanshan's boss when it was delivered. Buy five get one free, the former boss of Nanshan was very happy, four of the potions returned from the auction were given to his henchmen, one was given to the henchmen of the second master, and the gifts were kept for himself.

From this point of view, the former boss of Nanshan is very lonely and has low emotional intelligence. Not only did he wish he could have a few more helps, but he also wondered if he could develop a new ability so that he could better suppress the second master. Because of this, Nanshan's second boss and the former boss had a very unpleasant quarrel.

Later, all four of the former boss's henchmen died, but it was the second boss's henchmen who inspired the ability to force the opponent to sleep.

When it comes to hypnosis, everyone may think it is very practical and lofty. But in fact, if the henchmen of the second boss want to hypnotize others, they must fall asleep first. As soon as he wakes up, the hypnotized subject will wake up as well. Therefore, this ability, used to fight alone, is very chicken. But if it's a team fight, it's still useful.

Four brothers died, and the former boss of Nanshan was furious and issued a wanted warrant to hunt down Mi Doudou, but at this time, Mi Doudou had already hid in the laboratory of Tingshui Cave. After two months of fruitless pursuit, the former boss of Nanshan gave up. At the same time, he was also glad that he did not die after being injected with the reagent.

But the good times didn't last long, and half a year later, the second boss was in trouble. He let his henchmen hypnotize the former boss, and then cut off his head with a knife, making himself the boss of Nanshan.

Mi Doudou is a nobleman in the second place. Her reagents made the second child and killed the boss. If Mi Doudou goes to Nanshan at this time, maybe the current boss will welcome her as a guest.

Nanshan is a small and medium-sized settlement, slightly larger than Luo Youcheng's "hometown" Zizai City base, with less than 5,000 people. There are only two supernatural people on the surface, one is the former second master, and the current boss; The other is the one who can hypnotize others by sleeping on his own. There were a hundred armed men. It is not excluded that some people hide their abilities, such as intruders of the transformation system.

Such a small force is not capable of surviving in the last days. But the elephant has an elephant road, and the ant has an ant road. Nanshan not only survived, but also lived a small nourishing life of smoking, drinking, eating meat and farting. Their survival strategy can be summed up in three words: skill, reliance, and abandonment.

"Skill" is skill. Nanshan is home to many craftsmen. This is related to the history of Nanshan, which in the old era was an intangible cultural heritage ancient town park, where non-genetic people from all walks of life gathered to attract tourists with traditional crafts.

After entering the last days, I can still find 360 craftsmen here. There are many workshops in Nanshan, and there are all products here for food, clothing, housing and transportation. People without skills, as long as they have the strength, can always find a job in the workshop to make a living.

"Rely on" is the backer. In the last days, talents wither, and craftsmen are the prey of major forces. Nanshan, a settlement composed of pure craftsmen, must have a strong backer. The backer of Nanshan is the jade elephant of Guidi, one of the top ten shareholders of the ghost cave, which is powerful, and its appearance is not as ugly as the evergreen of Ludi.

The jade elephant is well versed in the truth that he can't fish in Heze'er, and the output of Nanshan, they take seven, and Nanshan leaves three. And Changqing to Laoshan is to take nine and leave one.

"Give" is giving. If you want to maintain your backer, you must be willing to do so. The boss of Nanshan understands this truth, and the craftsmen also understand it. They all worked hard to provide more "tribute" to the jade elephant in exchange for better protection.

The Jade Elephant has no garrison in Nanshan, and the Jade Elephant Office in Nanshan located in the central square of Nanshan is the best talisman in Nanshan, and no force will touch the cheese of the Jade Elephant.

Xia Pingping and Mei Duo walked on the bluestone road, and there were all antique buildings on the side of the road. Almost every house here is a front store and a back factory. After paying the "tribute", each family was able to keep some surplus products to exchange for their daily necessities. Therefore, the business atmosphere in Nanshan is not bad.

The smell of the streets is very mixed. After walking for an afternoon, Xia Pingping has not yet captured the smell of the target person, but the greasy smell of smoke is overwhelming, which is undoubtedly a torture for a person like Xia Pingping who has a too sensitive sense of smell.

Mei Duo asked in a low voice: "Brother Ping, could that person not be from here, he just bought cigarettes here?" ”

"I don't rule it out." Xia Pingping replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, we have a lot of time, and we can always find clues." ”

"We're always walking around like this, it's going to make people suspicious, do you want to take a break?"

Xia Pingping smiled, where is the little woman in her own house afraid of others' suspicions, she obviously wants to be lazy. He said:

"You have a point, we should go get something to eat in order to avoid arousing the vigilance of others."

With that, he took Mei Duo's hand, walked through a street corner, turned a corner, and entered a small shop. The name of the store is "bluestone bean curd", and there are double shelves at the entrance of the store, and two large pots of bean curd are placed. The inner hall is not large, and four sets of tables and chairs are placed. It's not a meal now, and there's no one in the cafeteria.

"Uncle, let's have two bean curd rice." Xia Pingping greeted him.

"Okay." The boss was very nimble, and quickly served two bowls of bean curd, two bowls of rice and two red oil dipping dishes. At this time, it was the time when business was cold, and the boss simply dragged over a stool and sat down to chat with Xia Pingping and his wife, "The guest is from out of town?" It's very raw. ”

Xia Pingping said: "I'm going to go to the north to vote for relatives, passing by." ”

"It's not a smooth journey, is it? There are wars going on everywhere. ”

"yes, this isn't an escape? I also have a relative in your province, but I heard that there were octopus everywhere and didn't dare to go. ”

The boss said with a solemn face: "I have seen that monster, it is very scary, the upper body is like a human, the lower body is like an octopus, but it has no eight claws, only five claws." ”

Xia Pingping asked: "Boss has been to your province?" ”

The boss said, "There are two monsters that have come to Fish City. Three or four years ago, I heard that there were a lot of people who ate it. Later, he was stoned to death in a basement, and some people say that the bones of dead people in the basement are piled up like a mountain. When the chief heard about it, he had them dragged back. The upper body of the two monsters was smashed to pieces, and the five wrists were still good. Also dragged back were a man and a woman, who were beheaded. ”

"Wow." Mei Duo hurriedly covered her mouth. She originally wanted to say that the two heads of fish and the pair of dogs and men were killed by the eldest brother, but fortunately, she reacted quickly and didn't say anything.

The owner of the bean curd shop thought that he had scared the girl's family, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, look at my stinky mouth, what are you eating, what am I talking about?" ”

Xia Pingping smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter, "What did the big boss do when he dragged the corpse back?" ”

"It's not clear. But I heard that Jade Elephant sent someone to take the body away. I don't know if it's true or not, but I haven't seen it anyway. ”

Xia Pingping didn't get to the bottom of it, he changed the topic: "Listen to the boss's accent, isn't he from Yucheng?" ”

"There are a few real locals in Nanshan, and most of them are craftsmen from other places." The boss looked back and saw someone coming to buy bean curd, and said with a smile, "You guys are eating, I'll go and say hello." ”

Xia Pingping said: "Don't you ask us outsiders what to pay the bills? ”

"How much is two bowls of bean curd worth? It's okay to give you food. The boss said, waving his hand to the guests outside the store, "Here it is, here it is." ”

Xia Pingping said to Mei Duo: "Try it, it is said to be very good." Unfortunately last time, the boss didn't open the door. ”

Mei Duo asked uneasily: "We don't have the money here, what will we pay for a while?" ”

"Barter, eat and talk."

Mei Duo saw that Brother Ping moved the chopsticks, so she took a small piece of bean curd, dipped it in some spices, and put it in her mouth. The taste of bean curd is moist, spicy and salty, and there is a strange fragrance. I don't know how many times better than the bean curd in the college cafeteria. She took a small bowl of bean curd and quickly made half a bowl of rice.

"Eat slowly, it's not enough." The owner saw off the packed guests and walked back.

Mei Duo asked, "Uncle, I have never eaten such delicious bean curd." ”

The boss said proudly: "There are thousands of people who make bean curd, why can only my bean curd be applied for the World Heritage Site?" ”

Mei Duo said: "Uncle, tell us, what's the way?" ”

Xia Pingping said with a smile: "Little sister, ancestral craftsmanship, it's not good to ask too much." ”

The boss laughed: "If you like to eat, eat more, and be full." ”

The boss didn't say anything, and Mei Duo didn't ask any more questions. Most of the traditional craftsmen like this have a stubbornness that is kept secret and not passed on. Thinking that she would never be able to eat such delicious bean curd after returning to the academy, Mei Duo asked for another bowl of bean curd.

Xia Pingping didn't eat much, so he took off his backpack, took out a 22nd century press-type manual cooker from it, and handed it to the boss.

"Can this thing pay for food?"

"Manual? That's rare. I like to do it manually, and using too many smart devices will make people lose their ingenuity. The owner of the bean curd shop played with the antique-grade manual cooker for a while before saying, "You used this to pay for food, and you lost a lot." ”

Xia Pingping said indifferently: "I got it from scavenging, and this thing can't be eaten as food." If it were an old era, I would still be able to sell it to antique collectors. Now, uncle, you treat it as a baby, and others will think it's inconvenient to use. ”

Although the boss was a little reluctant, he still handed the cooker back to Xia Pingping, "I can't take advantage of you, you can take care of it." Little brother, you are a cool person, and I am happy to see it. Don't talk about the food money, I invited this meal. ”

Xia Pingping didn't answer, he said, "Uncle, you can take it." We're going to stay here for a few more days, and if you don't get bored, we'll have a few more meals. ”

The boss happily accepted it, saying that as long as they were in Nanshan for a day, they would not be charged for dinner at his house. After speaking, the boss cautiously went to the back room like holding a golden egg. Waiting for the boss to come back, Xia Pingping asked:

"Uncle, is there a technology broker in Nanshan?"

The boss said: "Yes, across the street, there is a shop called Black Technology, the owner of the shop is called Tibetan Giraffe, who specializes in buying and selling technology." ”

Meadow asked, "Giraffe?" Anyone else with that name? ”

The boss said, "Nickname, which means no neck." Everyone shouted that, but no one knew his real name. How? Do you want to sell technology? ”

Xia Pingping said: "I found a piece of memory in a scientific research institute, which was not encrypted. I want to trade it for some practical technology. ”

The boss shook his head and said, "I don't recommend you to exchange here." Black technology is not a technology that transcends common sense, it is a black heart of black, he is a black store, black your technology. ”

Xia Pingping said: "Anyway, I picked it up, so it doesn't matter if I suffer a loss." ”

The boss said, "If you must go, the girl had better stay here." He is a pervert, and we privately call him a fowl daring, as long as it is done by beasts and hooligans, there is nothing he does not dare to do. ”
