102: Sky-high checks
The atmosphere of Xiao Suo is dotted with the wind and sand and dry yellow unique to the valley, and even in the capital city of Tanga Mountain, it still cannot escape the sense of danger of extremely poor public security. When a pair of eyes sweep over your body, that gaze always makes people feel ill-intentioned.
When Qing Yu and Gu Nanyi both looked at the glassware shop, most of the eyes around them seemed to be focused on them—coming to Gulgang but not paying attention to gems was already very unusual in this regard.
These gazes made Gu Nanyi uncomfortable, and coupled with the experience of the past two years, it was inevitable that such a gaze would be equated with danger.
"It's kind of interesting that there are shops that sell these things in Guloka." Gu Nan smiled and retracted his gaze.
Qing Yu looked at the storefront and quickly followed Gu Nanyi: "I haven't been to the black market in Gulgang, but I heard that the atmosphere is not very good. ”
"It's fine, so-so. The most terrifying, I think, is Ziluo's black market. At every turn, it is the sale of organs and the sale of corpses. The first time I went, I was so nauseous that I couldn't eat for three days and just wanted to throw up. Gu Nanyi commented sharply on his previous experience, but these words made Qing Yu drop his eyes slightly-
Ziluo's place, I may not want to go again in my life......
The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and their faces were as dry and yellow as the wind and sand. It's a lifeless realm, like a giant stone tomb, and the people here are generally thin and vicious-looking, especially when it comes to the black market.
The black market in Gulao Gang looks much more dangerous than the black market in Lanwan, and Qing Yu even subconsciously wants to hold on to the saber, but her mass is not around at all, and she is nowhere to be found:
"Gu Nanyi, Mass is Master's relic, and like Wu Xian, it is very important to me. Whatever you do, you'll help me get it back. Light Feather said word by word, and his determined eyes cautiously observed the surroundings.
At this moment, in her eyes, everyone in this black market is suspected of hacking their weapons.
This expression Gu Nan saw in his eyes, but his expression was relaxed and there was no pressure - since it was a promised deal, he would definitely do it!
This is not as good as Lan Bay, the underground black market does not have the slightest highlight and heritage, and the only outstanding feature is: dirty and messy. Although the address was chosen at the site of an underground temple, there were no artifacts that matched the ruins of the temple for a long time.
It's more like a refugee slum than a ruin. Between the huge stone pillars that stood tall were crowded with tattered tents and garbage. In addition to the dryness of the air, there was also an unpleasant smell of urine.
Gu Nanyi walked through it familiarly, went to the depths of the temple, and gradually moved away from the crowd, and a divine path appeared.
Shinto is hidden in the darkness, and there is no end to what is hidden. The huge staircase is sacred and solemn, like an invincible god under the darkness, and the killing intent hidden in the darkness has long been obvious:
"Be careful." Qing Yu stopped Gu Nanyi behind him, and in the darkness caused by his gaze, the man holding the Lai Fu gun slowly appeared:
"This is not where you came from, the black market is over there."
Gu Nanyi smiled coldly and officially, a typical businessman-style tact: "I'm tired of talking to Boss Bindu, and my old friend is coming to him." ”
There was obviously something else in them, and the man looked at them a few times before moving out of the way:
"Let's go inside."
The people who can be invited into this Shinto path with courtesy are obviously not ordinary, and this scene is enough to make everyone in the black market look forward to it. Under the eyes of everyone full of speculation and curiosity, Qing Yu followed Gu Nan into the Divine Dao, and his back was quickly swallowed up by the darkness.
Maybe it's because of the darkness, this Shinto seems to have no end, and Qing Yu doesn't know how long he has walked, and when he sees the fire, the huge stone carved throne is not far away.
The men with guns stood on either side, and the men on the throne were wild and reckless, and the brows and eyes were fierce:
"The way says you're dead." Bindu teased a little, pulled up the corners of his mouth to look at Gu Nanyi, and then his eyes stopped at Qing Yu, "This girl is good." I told you before that this level is worthy of you......"
"You know." Light Feather unpleasantly intercepted Bindu's words. She was asking Gu Nanyi when she said this, and Bindu laughed:
"Looks like I misunderstood." Bindu looked at Qing Yu playfully, and after laughing, he got back to business, "Boss Gu has been so difficult recently, and he came to see me specifically, so let's talk about something." ”
If he has nothing to do, he will not go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he Gu Nanyi is not an idler. Bindu is also a businessman, and he actually doesn't have too deep a friendship with Gu Nanyi, a fox, and after learning their purpose, he is quite happy to follow the rules:
"It's not all, but the arms in the black market must pass through my hands. As long as the price is fair, a gun and a saber are nothing. ”
"In business, make a price." Gu Nanyi has always been calm, but now his attitude makes Bindu secretly surprised. The whole world knows that Gu Nanyi is a cunning fox who never does a loss-making business, and he is so arrogant and honest at the moment, which is really a bit amazing.
Bindu pinched his chin and pondered, his eyes seemed to understand something when he swept over the light feather, and he stretched out five fingers to Gu Nanyi with a smile:
"That's the lowest."
Looking at that hand, Gu Nanyi's expression was not moved in the slightest, like a nouveau riche who spends a lot of money, took out a check and wrote it.
Qing Yu didn't know how many Bindu's five fingers represented, but when Gu Nanyi finished writing the check, the number shocked her—there was actually someone darker than herself in this world? And Gu Nanyi actually paid the bill without saying a word?! Wonderful book
When Qing Yu was still stunned and doubting his life, Bindu's subordinates had already sent Wu Yu and Mass intact, and even a bullet was not missing. When her heart calmed down, she and Gu Nanyi were already about to reach the exit of the black market:
"It's good to have money, so many zeros, and you don't blink your eyes." Qing Yu was a little yin and yang, and she had to admit that the check just now really shocked her.
Gu Nanyi was angry and funny: "Are you thinking, if you knew this number, it would be better to give you the money directly, anyway, you can find things slowly." ”
"How is that possible!" Qing Yu glanced at him, and then said, "Just give me half of it, and take it first." ”
"Why is there no forgiveness? Mass is a relic of the Master, so it should be more important than the unforgiving, right? Gu Nan was surprised, but she didn't know which nerve she had touched Qingyu, and her expression instantly dimmed.
"It's different."
Four words, Qing Yu stopped talking, and Gu Nanyi also knew that it was inconvenient for him to ask more. In order to adjust the embarrassment, Gu Nanyi deliberately said:
"Actually, I do have money, but that was before I met you. Especially after today, I can only call myself poor. The so-called loser girl, you are also a very different one. ”
"Do you want to die?" Qing Yu glared coldly, he was in no mood to joke with him now. Gu Nanyi didn't care, anyway, this woman often blew up on him, and according to the previous agreement, after getting back the weapon, they should go their separate ways and go their separate ways.
But this woman obviously wouldn't be so obedient.
Gu Nanyi's next destination was Mai Yun, which was the closest jurisdiction to the concentration camp. Of course Qing Yu knew this, so he had to follow him unhurriedly-
He rode away, and she rode away;
He stayed in the hotel to rest, and she also stayed in the hotel to rest.
The two of them did not speak one after the other, like strangers who happened to be on the same road. The road is facing the sky, anyone can go, Gu Nanyi will not be bored enough to talk to Qingyu about the temper of these children.
There are not many continents left in these last days, and the survival of mankind has reached the point where it is necessary to control resources and population. The Maiyun Territory is the only most fertile plain in the world, and it is the last base of human food sources.
Because of this, Mai Yun's form is the most special of the five jurisdictions.
In other jurisdictions, the government is naturally dominant, but in Maiyun, officials do not have much power, and their main task is to maintain agricultural production. In other words, the large landowners and agriculturists under the lords were the ones they needed to serve and take care of.
However, the peasants, who are the most important in agriculture, have become the most oppressed bottom here, denied any status and respect they deserve.
The people in this world are clearly supported by them, but they are not as good as a landlord's dog!
When you cross the borders of the jurisdiction, you can see the fertile fields and the green and golden yellow that belong to the wheat clouds. But in Gu Nan's eyes, all this turned into obscurity and haze:
Bang - Bang -
"The city lord travels, and the idlers avoid!"
Bang - Bang -
The sound of gongs was sharp and noisy, and the procession of the city lord on the field road was mighty. The servant in coarse linen was panting and carrying the chair, walking cautiously under his feet.
He said that he was the lord of the city, but in fact he was the landlord of this land. The division of large and small cities in Maiyun's jurisdiction is based on the farmland area, and the landlord of each land is the lord of the city here.
Xuangan is just a small city on the border of Maiyun, and even such a small city lord is so domineering, and the ugliness of those big cities can be imagined.
In addition to the difficult coexistence between the supernatural and the ordinary, class oppression and the gap between the rich and the poor are also the two saddest contradictions of human beings. In this world, many people at the bottom do not have enough to eat at all, and the largest proportion of them is the farmers of Maiyun.
Not only do you have to work hard every day, but you also have to face the personal inspection of the city lord every three or five days. If you are slightly dissatisfied, you will be beaten and your flesh will be opened-
"This year, you have paid the least amount of grain, all of them are the same land, how do you grow them?!" The slave fox pretended to be a tiger, holding chicken feathers as an arrow, and raised the leather whip in his hand again and again.
The beaten farmers wailed and begged for mercy, rolling all over the ground: "It was the Mao family who stole our grain!" They stole our food! ”
"Stealing your food? Then why didn't he steal someone else's?! "The heartiness of the servant, torturing others like this gives him pleasure. It is only at this time that he forgets that he is a slave, and even gives birth to the illusion of superiority:
"Who in the city doesn't know that you are a minor offender. The guy who came out of the concentration camp is still embarrassed to say that people stole your things? ”
The servant was very proud, and spoke in a loud and high-pitched voice. But Gu Nanyi didn't know what was wrong, and his face was gloomy.
