Zhong Ling Town. It is named after the fact that there is a large bell in the westernmost part of the mountain, and the sound of bells ringing is heard over the mountain whenever dawn comes. Zhongling Mountain is also the highest peak of the Remnant Paradise, and the longest river in the Remnant Garden, the Lost Joy River, also originates here, and flows out through the Ghost Fight Gorge in the southwest after nine bends and eighteen bends in the territory.

The town is surrounded by thousands of walls, and the ghost of water and land has become the only communication artery between Zhongling and the outside world. The blast furnace village outside the Guipu Gorge is a concentration point for merchants and traders in and out of Zhongling Town. The water in the area of the Ghost Rush Gorge is turbulent, and when you get here, the boats can only be pulled forward by the slender men, and the blast furnace village was established by those slender men who have pulled boats for generations.

The slender man is a hard and dangerous coolie business, and there are not many people engaged in it, but since the number and frequency of the arrival of demons from outside the heavens in the remnant paradise have skyrocketed, the number of slender men has been increasing day by day. So far, Zhongling Town is the only area in the remnant paradise that does not have outside the demons, so the natives of the neighboring areas are all racing to flee to Zhongling for refuge. Even though the number of slender men increased by a few and everyone's income increased, the number of people who could enter the town by boat every day exceeded 1,000, and not even one person could enter it. Because the slender men strictly abide by the ancestral precepts of their ancestors - their heads do not hold up to the sun, their shoulders do not reach their shoulders, it is rainy, and they stop the boat to smoke.

In the Battle of Hou Xu City, the 80,000 latent members of the Ancient Hunting Organization were exposed, which made Fang Xu now the number one enemy of the Ancient Hunting Organization. I learned from Boss Han that the Ancient Hunting Organization had offered a bounty to hunt down Fang Xu. So Fang Xu has now become the golden key for all players to get rich overnight, where is there a little bit of wind and grass about Fang Xu, thousands of players will appear in half a day. Walking all the way to the west, although Fang Xu had been disguised, he had also encountered a lot of trouble. When I came to the blast furnace village, it was past noon, and the sun was no longer visible in the Ghost Rush Gorge.

The merchants and men had found a foothold in the village, and the wharf was sparsely populated, and on the river covered with broken gold, the slender men sat lazily on their boats and smoked dry tobacco.

"Uncle, are you still sailing?" Fang Xu didn't know the situation here, so he walked to the trestle and asked the boat, but the result was naturally closed. After learning about their sailing rules, Fang Xu had no choice but to go back to the village to find a place to stay.

Time is money, and this phrase is engraved on the tall granite at the gate of the Golden Management Institute of Geumjo University, and is depicted twice a year with gold dust. When the first rays of sunlight shine on it every day, the people in class will pass by, but few people will look at the big golden characters, because everyone can't erase the disguise of Qinggao, and even fewer people will practice those words if they pretend to be too cheesy. But the merchants in the blast furnace village carried out the essence of these words to the extreme.

As soon as Fang Xu entered the village, he saw simple vendors everywhere. There was still some time before dark, and the merchants were selling their goods with enthusiasm.

It may be because of Fang Xu, there were originally very few players in the adjacent area of Zhongling Town, but now there are more of them. As a result, the number of aborigines who fled to Zhong Ling also increased. In the past few days, as soon as the night comes, the number of people sleeping in the blast furnace village has gradually increased. At all times, the world belongs to the landlords. The villagers of the blast furnace have all changed their houses into hourly houses, and although the prices have soared, they do not have to go to the dock to solicit customers with small wooden signs like Yi, so they sit on the steps in front of the hall with melon seeds, and people who come to find accommodation after noon will crowd the small courtyard.

Fang Xu came too late, not to mention the firewood room, even the pig shed that became vacant because of a joke about not allowing pigs a while ago was put into it at a high price.

From the head of the village to the end of the village, there is a bluestone road. It is said that it was laid not long ago. As more and more people entered Zhongling, and few people were willing to do the drudgery of pulling boats, the slender men became the treasures of the blast furnace village. On a rainy night not long ago, a slender man came back from a happy life and accidentally fell and injured himself. This is a terrible situation, all the strikes took the villagers to Magnet Town for a day, and the materials for paving the road were delivered the next day. However, since it is a village road, it can only be done according to the prescribed width, and not a single millimeter, and the villagers have to contribute labor for free. Even so, everyone was full of energy, and within two days, a kilometer of stone road was paved.

Going down the bluestone road from house to house, when the sun had swallowed up the Ghost Fight Gorge, Fang Xu had not yet found a place to live.

"Looks like we're going to be sleeping in the village tonight."

Fang Xu came out of the west entrance of the village, and his mouth was already dry. People, if you have money, you have to keep a low profile, and the people in the blast furnace village have taken this low profile to a new level. Fang Xu was tired of asking, and wanted to ask them for saliva, and the villagers said that there was no more at home. Pursing his lips twice, Fang Xu moisturized his chapped lips slightly, and walked outside the village to see if he could find spring water or something.

"Brother, I'm hungry......"

"Little child, I'll come down and cook for you after I'm done mending this tile."

The voices of two children came from behind a tree wall. The girl's voice was very immature, and she sounded like a child who had just been able to speak smoothly. The boy's voice also sounded in the age group of eight or nine years old.

"Oh......" After the girl's voice reappeared, there was the sound of tinkling water.

Fang Xu, who was already so thirsty that he was smoking, could not resist the temptation of the sound of water at this time, and hurriedly walked through the tree wall, where a little girl wearing a broken belly pocket and a mustache tied to the sky was lying on a broken water tank, drinking water with a gourd scoop. A stream of clear water spilled and fell into the tank, clanging, part down her little chin to her neck, and finally down her swollen belly.

"Little sister, don't drink anymore." The little girl was very thin, her stomach was completely supported by water, and drinking so much water had already caused great damage to her body, and if she drank that scoop of water again, it was estimated that she would be water poisoned.

"I'm hungry......" The gourd scoop in the little girl's hand was grabbed by Fang Xu, and she looked at Fang Xu pitifully after she couldn't drink the water.

"I've got something to eat here." After Fang Xu took out a piece of dry food and opened it, the little girl immediately let go of the gourd scoop, grabbed a piece of dry food with one hand and sent it to her mouth, and waved a piece of dry food to her brother on the roof not far away with the other hand, and squeaked and told him to come down and eat.

Seeing this, the boy on the roof quickly put down the tiles in his hand, slid down the wooden ladder like a spirit monkey, and ran over to snatch the dry food from the little girl's hand and pulled her aside, "Little child, spit it out." ”

Xiao Zhi shook his head and tried to swallow the dry food in his mouth, then pointed at Fang Xu and said, "Brother, uncle doesn't look like a bad person!" ”

"Childish, bad sometimes looks kinder than really good people, have you forgotten the old man last time......"

The boy was thinner than the girl, and the green color of his face indicated that he had been malnourished for a long time. The overnight fees in the pigsty are several times more expensive than those of Hou Xucheng and other customers in the blast furnace village, and such a situation should not occur.

When the boy patiently reasoned with the little child, Fang Xu picked up a large scoop of water and drank it, explaining to the boy that he was just coming to beg for saliva and had no other meaning. In order to prove that there was no problem with his dry food, Fang Xu ate two pieces of stomach in succession. The boy watched Fang Xu wait for a while and saw that he didn't show anything unusual, and his sister was safe, so he let down his guard against Fang Xu a little.

"You also want to enter Zhong Ling?" The boy's eyes were very sharp when he looked at Fang Xu, his speech and body movements were very old, and he didn't have the appearance of an eight or nine-year-old child at all.

"Yes."

"If it's a refuge, don't go in, go into business like those merchants whose eyes are in the eyes of money, but you can gamble." After the boy finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Fang Xu, but pulled Xiaozhi and said, "Let's cook." ”

Although the two children in front of me were dressed in tatters, even worse than some beggars in Hou Xucheng, they had three large wooden tiled houses that did not look like my boy's head. It is all fine yew trees, and the surface is glowing with a dull yellow sheen of tung oil. But the dirt road in front of the house is not at all like this house. The stone road in the blast furnace village passes in front of the house, but it is not connected by bluestone blocks like other villagers' homes. There should be a period of warmth and coldness in this that makes people sound chilling.

The children of the two beggars would not have such a good house, they were so young, they could cook and mend tiles, this must be a family that has experienced ruthless changes and only left children.

"Can I spend the night at your house?" All the villagers' homes were full of people, but Xiaozhi's house was deserted, although Fang Xu felt that something was wrong, he still asked. After all, he is now the fragrant bun of the family, if he falls asleep in the wild and is recognized and his head is cut off, maybe his little life will really be gone.

"We don't have a sign in our house."

Looking at what the boy was pointing at, Fang Xu saw that there was nothing on the lintel of the hall. Then I remembered that I had just seen the carved wooden plaques on the lintels of other houses, which may be like the so-called business license on the earth.

The poor and lowly people mourn everything. Such a small child can provide a security guarantee for the house, and it is normal that the sign for staying overnight cannot be obtained.
