"Why didn't I meet you earlier, brother?" Zhang Hongyi said gratefully: "Being a person is more icing on the cake, and less charcoal in the snow." I'm now out of the team, and I'm lost in my life, so I'm left with a fart on my body, and I'm blessed to be able to meet you when I'm down. ”

His words were sincere, but Ding Xiu was embarrassed to take credit.

When rescuing Zhang Hongyi in the Jingpo Lake Forest, Ding Xiu just happened to do it by chance, if the A-level mutant jungle cat was not scared away by Qiuqiu, then he might probably turn around and run away.

Besides, following Zhang Hongyi into the city, Ding Xiu also hoped that someone familiar with this place would guide him to the way, so Zhang Hongyi's gratitude made him a little embarrassed.

"What do I need to prepare to go to the 'diamond market'?" Ding Xiuyan returned to the main point and turned the topic back to the issue he was most concerned about.

"Just take what you're going to sell...... Oh yes, and bring some guys for self-defense. "Zhang Hongyi is very familiar with the big and small black markets in Xin'ao, so when giving advice, he also tries to consider it in a thoughtful direction.

"Do you want to bring a gun?" Ding Xiu asked.

"No, no, no, didn't I just say, it's better not to use a gun here in Xin'o, let you bring a guy with a dagger blade or something, it's useless to bring a gun, because first, you can't use it, and second, if you use it, there will be big trouble coming to you."

"I see." Ding Xiu nodded, knowing in his heart.

"Uncle, can you take me with you?" Xiaomi asked suddenly.

Ding Xiu thought for a while, "Okay, then you have to follow us." ”

"Yay~" The little girl jumped up with joy when she heard this, what she wanted most was to stay by Ding Xiu's side.

"She's going too?" Zhang Hongyi was stunned and looked at Xiaomi and asked.

"Of course." Ding Xiu's decision was considered, because after the friction with the black man before, Zhang Hongyi had asked the waiter to ask the other party's room number, so in the same way, if the other party has a desire to retaliate, he can also ask for Ding Xiu's and Xiaomi's room numbers. Leaving Xiaomi alone in the hotel, Ding Xiu was not at ease.

The three of them had a light meal at the hotel, and after a little preparation, they went out to the "diamond market".

The location of the "diamond market" is relatively hidden, if it were not for Zhang Hongyi to lead the way, Ding Xiu is afraid that it will be difficult to find a place for a while.

The largest black market in the city of Syno is located in the heart of an urban village, surrounded by uneven houses that outsiders have to walk through the streets and alleys.

The name of the urban village is Yuangang Village, and most of the residents in the village are surnamed Yuan. Later, after the law and order situation was restored, although this force was disbanded by the government on the surface, it was secretly retained by Yuan Fengqi.

They no longer need to protect themselves, so they begin to shelter the black market that has sprung up in the village, and grow by charging a certain amount of protection fees and trading commissions.

Yuan Fengqi is brave and very skillful, and in more than ten years, the black market in Yuangang Village has gradually become the largest underground market in Xinao City. He is the second oldest in the family, and he has an older sister above, so the people in the village call him the second master.

"Worship God to worship Guan Erye, Yuangang only recognizes Yuan Erye, and this Yuan Erye is the underground emperor of the 'diamond market'."

Zhang Hongyi introduced the situation here to Ding Xiu, and he led Ding Xiu and Xiaomi through the alley, all the way over, the three of them had been looked at by several groups of people.

"What are these people doing?" Ding Xiu asked Zhang Hongyi.

"Yuan Erye's people." Zhang Hongyi glanced at those people and didn't care much: "Because you are a new face, they will pay special attention to you." ”

"What kind of person is this Second Master Yuan?" Ding Xiu couldn't help but be interested when he heard Zhang Hongyi mention Yuan Er Ye again.

"He is a man in the grass, and he is ruthless, but he still has a bit of a bottom [tick] line to do things, and he can cover the largest underground market in Xinao City, do you think he is a character?" Zhang Hongyi said with a smile and asked rhetorically.

"Hidden in the city?" The companion's words made Ding Xiu glance at Yuan Erye.

Zhang Hongyi shook his head: "Yuan Fengqi suffers a loss because of his low background, he doesn't want to hide in the city, but can only live in the city." However, he is a man with means, and his prestige in the surrounding area of Yuangang Village is very high, and he has to give him some face in both black and white. ”

"You're familiar with that." Ding Xiu went all the way, and listened to Zhang Hongyi talk a lot about Yuangang Village and the diamond market.

"To tell you the truth, 60% of my business is done here, and the remaining 40% has to go through official channels...... There's no way, you have to eat this bowl of rice like this, you can't support your brothers if you don't make money, but it's easy to offend those adults behind you just about making money. ”

"It's not easy." Ding Xiu said with emotion.

When he was in the barracks, he had very few things to think about every day, and it was very simple, he only needed to ensure that he was alive. Later, he went to the Brilliant City, and after experiencing so much, he also experienced the hardships and dangers of the world.

"Ugh." Zhang Hongyi sighed as he spoke, "There is a way to cook a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey, once this lackey loses his teeth, he will also be swept away." ”

"Brother, there is more than one way to live in the world. Some things are gone, and it's a big deal to start over. ”

Zhang Hongyi's mood was extremely low, but Ding Xiu used his own experience to enlighten him.

"You don't understand." Zhang Hongyi received Ding Xiu's kindness, but he couldn't say some things, after all, he couldn't be as free and easy as others, and he still fantasized about being able to rely on Councilor Lin's relationship to end the blood feud back then.

Xiaomi followed Ding Xiu's side without saying a word, and along the way, she was always looking around, and everything around her was new and special to her.

The three of them shuttled in the alley for more than ten minutes, and finally came to a stone archway, the stone archway is tall and straight, and the carved pattern is also very exquisite, and the word "Yuangang" is engraved on it.

"It's here, it's not far to get in." Zhang Hongyi pointed to the stone archway, and led Ding Xiu and Xiaomi into a room in the archway: "I have to pay a deposit here first." ”

"Pay a deposit?" Ding Xiu was a little puzzled.

"Similar to entrance fees and insurance money." Zhang Hongyi explained: "The rules of Yuangang are to prevent some idlers from coming in to fish in troubled waters, and they also set a threshold to filter out some guys who are easy to cause trouble. ”

"How much?" Ding Xiu asked.

"According to the head, 500 bries per person, mine will come by myself." Zhang Hongyi had already started to take out the money, he took out the money on his body, counted and counted, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.

"What are you grinding about, whether to pay or not to pay?" The man in the window said impatiently.

Ding Xiu suddenly thought that Zhang Hongyi should not have enough money, so he hurriedly stepped forward and handed the money into the window, "Three people." ”

The person inside took the money and counted it, and then took out three glued cards from the drawer and gave them to Ding Xiu, "The rules here are all printed on the back, you are the first time to come, take a closer look." ”
