Chapter Ninety-Six: Oiran
He sighed when he saw that there were several monsters outside the door that were not strong enough to squeeze in, and hurriedly wanted to ask for an explanation.
"There's a shop just across the street, you know?" The monster he asked sighed, "There are a lot of treasures being sold there, and we basically have ...... everything we want."
"Really?" The little demon was suddenly overjoyed, "Then there is wind and snow ice lotus, ambergris?" ”
"Of course there is." The monster nodded, just seeing that the little demon was excitedly planning to go to the other street to find the shop, but his voice turned to stop the other party, and sneered, "But don't be too happy, do you know what you need to buy things there?" ”
"What?" The little demon was stunned.
"Money!" The monster pointed to the overcrowded shop behind him, and said meaningfully, "It's the copper coin here!" ”
“……”
The little demon suddenly stiffened, staring blankly at the store that was completely unable to squeeze in, remembering the empty appearance just now, and wanted to slap himself twice......
At this moment, the old man in the store was sitting behind the counter, weighing a faint fluorescent stone handed over by the bull demon in front of him with two hands, squinting his eyes slightly and looking carefully, making a "tsk" sound from time to time.
After a long time, he slowly put down the stone, looked at the bull demon in front of him with a somewhat nervous look, and sighed: "Niu Da, you yellow essence stone is not pure!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, it took me a long time to get this yellow essence stone!" The bull demon was suddenly so angry that his face turned red, and the bull's nose was "snorting" outward, as if he was going to get up and fight if he didn't agree with him.
"Okay, five copper coins, can't you get out?" Lao Suo is not afraid, not to mention that this is a shop opened by the Dragon King, and at this moment there are two elite wolf demons behind him, and no one in the ghost town dares to make trouble here.
"Don't deceive too much, you old ghost!" The bull demon gritted his teeth and slapped it on the table.
For a long time, he slowly raised two fingers, stared at the bull's eye and roared, "Again...... Two more! ”
"Deal!"
Lao Sue suddenly smiled, and kindly reached out to shake the bull demon's hooves, and the paper man behind him stepped forward to take the yellow essence stone away, while the other paper man handed over seven copper coins to the bull demon's hands.
And as soon as the bull demon left angrily, another ghost sat up and eagerly took out the treasure......
This business is still going on, and it is expected that it will not stop until the currency issued this time runs out.
*********
And in the distant Yuanyang City, the story is also slowly advancing.
Speaking of which, Du Bai had a rare opportunity to see the so-called Oiran side.
Of course, I just glanced at it from a distance, as if it was lively.
Summer daytime is always scorching sun, giving people a lazy feeling, even if someone is holding an umbrella next to him, especially in recent days when there is less rain, the air seems to be rolling with a wave of heat, the breath is choking, Du Bai is not very happy to go out to hang out, I am afraid that if you are not careful, you will have a heat stroke.
What's more, he was reluctant to let Ying'er's little girl's fine white skin be tanned, which was too tyrannical.
Therefore, going out at night has become a good choice.
In the night, Yuanyang City is less impetuous and stuffy during the day, and more quiet and cool, even if it is just a walk, it also makes him feel comfortable and his thoughts are much smoother.
In this era, there was no such thing as a curfew, so at night there were lanterns lit up along the street to light up the road, and occasionally small vendors selling sweet cakes and cold noodles would shout on the roadside, waiting for customers to buy a little bit or two to try when they were hungry.
Of course, there is no cold drink made of ice cubes, after all, the limitations of technology are here, and only large families can taste the cool taste of ice cubes in this summer.
Speaking of which, the Su family also has ice cubes for storage, and Du Bai has seen it once before, it is buried deep in the underground cellar, but the amount is not much.
Compared with lying down and eating ice cubes at home, Du Bai prefers to go out for a walk, and the cool breeze at night is more comfortable.
At this time, Du Bai mostly likes to hang out, strolling for a while in places suitable for the shade such as the river bank, and did not let Ying'er follow him, but after taking some money, or buying two pieces of cold cakes with bamboo skewers, holding them in his hands and eating them while walking, or take a look at a few chessboards placed by some idlers on the shore, and watch them play with vigor there, although they don't know the number of roads, but they always find it quite interesting.
Although modern life is technologically advanced and information is convenient, what happened in the northern hemisphere last night is known to the southern hemisphere this morning, but there is also a lot less fun in life.
This kind of leisure and comfortable life is still good for Du Bai.
At this time, standing with a few ordinary people who were lively together on the side, talking and laughing, no one knew his identity as the son-in-law of the Su family, most of them just regarded him as an ordinary person, and his words were either vulgar or contemptuous, and he was unambiguous in his high-minded talk and bragging, and no one was superior to anyone.
Du Bai is a modern person in the end, and some topics are easy to guide more interestingly, and while provoking others to laugh, it is easy to blend in.
It is only at this time that he feels more and more integrated into the world, rather than as a spectator, with laughter and tears, gentlemen and villains, and all kinds of life are displayed on this not very wide riverbank.
On this day, Du Bai gathered around a table of chessboard as usual and watched the chess game with relish, the people playing chess were two old men, and it seemed that they should also be Sven people who had read books, but this style of chess was not very good, often stinky chess not to mention, and from time to time because of regret and victory and defeat, he was so noisy that his face was red and his neck was thick, and everyone around him laughed.
Just after playing a game of chess, an old man in Tsing Yi lost a hand because of playing stinky chess, and couldn't help but leave angrily, Du Bai was eating the pastries in his hand, while waiting for the next chess player, and suddenly heard the exclamations of several men beside him: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Oiran is coming out! ”
"Oiran?"
Du Bai's mouth kept chewing, but his ears paid a little attention.
To be honest, unlike the so-called admiration, he was just a little curious about what the so-called Oiran looked like?
When he looked back, the people around him who were still watching chess together just now rushed towards the corner of the riverbank, and it was crowded in less than a moment, and the crowd was heavy, this scene made Du Bai suddenly seem to have returned to modern times and participated in a star concert.
Just a few glowsticks and posters.
This also made Du Bai more and more curious, how amazing the Oiran must look to attract so many people to see, and even vaguely see that there are some women mixed in here......
