Chapter 082: The Day of the Tournament (1)
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Three large and bright fireworks bloomed in the sky above the copper ring, and suddenly, the sky was full of brilliant light, dispelling the strange and terrifying aura that had been entrenched here for a long time.
After three and a half months of silence, the lights were lit up again, and the road leading to the silver ring was full of people again. It's just that what echoes in my ears is not the cheers of the people, but the miserable howls that make the hairs stand on end.
On the patina-colored avenue, a golden palanquin slowly comes, unlike those palanquins with solid wood as the main body and gold leaf decoration, this palanquin is made of pure gold from the inside to the outside, which can be described as extremely luxurious. Two three-meter-long golden poles pass through an open canopy gold chair, and a lifelike golden dragon is coiled around each of the four pillars, each with sharp edges and corners, and each dragon claw appears strong and powerful; The four golden dragons soared up together, gathered at the top of the sedan chair, and the four fierce-looking dragon heads were distributed in the four corners, all of which opened their mouths, revealing sharp long teeth, and only headed towards a crystal clear white jade bead at the top.
The only drawback is that although the four golden dragons look majestic and magnificent, their eyes are blank, and they seem to have less charm.
In addition to the four golden dragons, there is almost no space on the golden sedan chair, which is filled with exquisite reliefs, including phoenixes soaring with wings, butterflies taking off with puffs, and some fierce and vicious rare beasts...... At first glance, this sedan chair looks like a picture of "ten thousand beasts fighting for treasure", and what they want to seize is the white jade beads inlaid at the top.
There is no need to guess, the identity of a person who can sit in such a luxurious sedan chair is naturally extraordinary. In fact, this is the greedy travel car of the greedy town lord, and he himself likes this sedan chair very much, even if it is only two books, he must ask someone to come and carry the sedan chair, because there is nothing in this world that can be more noble than it. But not long after he left, this peerless and precious sedan chair changed hands several times, and finally fell into the hands of an upstart.
Suddenly, the golden curtain rose with the wind, and under the bright street lamp, a man with a gloomy expression could be seen sitting in a sedan chair, he was wearing a luxurious dress that was very commensurate with the sedan chair, wearing a pair of black leather shoes studded with diamonds on his feet, and his hands were full of all kinds of jewelry, only the neck looked simpler, and only a finely carved necklace hung on it.
As the sedan chair moved forward steadily, he gradually raised his heavy left hand, gently supported his cheek, looked sideways at the familiar street scene, couldn't help but sigh, and said in the lowest tone: "I didn't expect it to be back again." ”
"Haha, how good it is to come back, I was in a hurry last time, and I still have some things left at home!"
The man who spoke sat on the gold chair to the right of the palanquin, he was dressed in a mink coat and a gold watch in his hand, and although the jewelry on his body was obviously not as valuable as that of the person who sat in the depths, it also had enough extravagance.
"Home?" The person sitting in the depths snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "Master Cai, you have everything now, what are you going back to do there, it's all some rags, don't do it." ”
"Ah Chai, you don't understand this. The previous life was a little shabby, but at that time, it was immersed in endless disappointment, and at the same time full of hope. It's a small thing that makes me happy for days! But now, what do you want, but the happiness from the bottom of your heart is much less......" said the master of wealth and swept his head
Glancing at the patina-colored street, he smiled lightly, "It's funny, I used to hate this place so much, but now, sometimes at night, I suddenly miss this place." ”
"If you miss it, stay here." Achai said coldly.
"Haha, I'll just sigh casually! But, seriously, Achai, in the past three months, you really don't plan to come back at all. If it weren't for that girl......" Master Cai then waved and pointed to Ah Chai's former "home".
"What's so nice about this, I've been watching it for more than ten years, what do you see from it? Perhaps, you still see some hope, but I don't see any of it. ”
Ah Chai stared coldly at a flickering street lamp, and the light and shadow in front of him were exactly the same as when he left three months ago.
It stands to reason that when people revisit the old place, people's emotions will be more or less rippling for those old things, just because they are directly related to people's past. They are like a tunnel to the depths of memory, and only in front of them will people pick up those things that have long been forgotten.
However, under this situation, Ah Chai's mind was unusually calm and calm, as if those old things had nothing to do with his past.
Looking at the flickering street lamp, his first reaction was: "After so long, they won't even fix a single lamp." ”
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, Ah Chai raised his head and sniffed, smelling a familiar smell, only to see him close his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. But when he smelled it again, he was surprised to find that the smell was slightly different from before, and the cold wind seemed to be mixed with some ** and bloody smells.
"The smell of flesh and blood!"
At this moment, Ah Chai seemed to remember something, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face turned extremely pale. Inadvertently, the smell of blood struck again, and his heart trembled, and the gastric juice immediately surged rapidly, and without paying attention, he rushed to his mouth, but he did not allow anything to damage his nobility and majesty! Therefore, he could only cover his mouth and nose with one hand, gritted his teeth tightly, and swallowed back the sour and spicy gastric juice.
"Stop! Masks are here! Ah Chai yelled.
For a while, the queue that was 100 meters long suddenly stopped, and the twenty coolies carrying the golden sedan chair shouted in unison, and at the same time squatted down on their knees, and placed the golden sedan chair firmly on the ground. The thirty golden chariots that followed the golden sedan also stopped at this moment and turned off, because the road of the copper ring was not wide enough, they could only be divided into two parallel columns, but as far as the eye could see, they were as neat and straight as two parallel lines.
"Masks! Wherever there is, bring it quickly! Master Cai lifted the golden curtain and shouted, then grabbed Ah Chai's arm with one hand, and said worriedly, "Why is it suddenly uncomfortable?" It can't be that the water and soil are not adapted! ”
At this time, five medical staff in white coats jumped out of the golden cart specially loaded with medical supplies, each holding a medical box, and from the moment they landed, they desperately ran to the golden sedan chair and threw the fastest speed in their lives. If people don't know the situation, they may think that they are doctors who are benevolent and eager to save people's hearts.
However, the truth is often not as rosy as imagined.
Seeing that the first four medical staff all ran to the golden sedan chair, the last medical staff suddenly weakened their legs and sat on the ground, with a look of despair between their eyebrows. The heavy medical box in his arms fell to the ground with a "clang", scattering medicine jars all over the ground
Some of them couldn't stand the toss, and they had already been smashed and a jar of good medicine was wasted.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
Before the last paramedic could repent, a golden bullet mercilessly pierced his skull. He collapsed beside his medicine box, staring at the black high heels in front of him with vacant eyes, his eyes full of unwillingness.
But no matter how unwilling you are, what can you do?
Listening to the "click" footsteps, the pair of black high heels slowly moved to the middle line of the queue, and the vision leaned up slightly, only to see a black holster tied to the slender thighs, ** shorts full of all kinds of weapons, and a golden sniper rifle behind the gray shirt.
"The last one has to die!" She slowly raised the muzzle of her gun, gently blew away the smoke, and then shouted viciously, "This is the rule!" ”
Behind her, the four medical staff were congratulating themselves on having escaped the catastrophe, while taking out a dozen masks from the medical kit and handing them to Ah Chai from both sides of the golden sedan chair.
Ah Chai covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and swept around impatiently, still thinking that they were not fast enough! Immediately after, he picked out a mask and shook his hand to drive them away.
After putting on the mask, the smell of blood in the air that made him sick disappeared in an instant.
At this time, Ah Chai looked slightly tired, and just wanted to find a place to settle quickly. In fact, he could have chosen to come by other tools, but as he said before, there is no car with the majesty of this golden sedan chair! Therefore, even if the bumpy road will be tiring, he has never regretted it.
After taking a long breath, Achai slowly raised his right hand and pointed forward. The master of wealth beside him immediately reacted, lifted the golden curtain, and shouted at the convoy: "Get up!" ”
"How long is it left?"
Master Cai scratched his head and said humbly: "There are probably five or six streets." ”
"So far." Ah Chai frowned, snorted, and said with a suspicious face, "Where are you going to take me?" ”
"Oh, Ah Chai, it's not like you don't know the condition of the copper ring! People are basically dying of thirst, starvation, or madness! Nowadays, there is only one inn in the entire copper ring that is open, far away, but it would be nice to have a place to rest! ”
"Inn? Which one? So powerful?! ”
Ah Chai was stunned, he never expected that he had already raised the price of a bottle of water to the sky, and there was still an inn that could survive.
"It's the one down Fifth Street! When you used to get off work, you even took me to the restaurant for a meal! ”
Ah Chai pondered for a while, and then suddenly remembered, only to see him touch his chin with one hand, and said with a look of disbelief: "That family!" I remember that the boss was an old man in his fifties and sixties! It looks wise, but in fact, it doesn't know how to run a business, so that the price of the inn is too low, although there are many customers, but it doesn't make much money! With that old man's ability, he shouldn't be able to last so long! It's weird......"
"yes, it's unbelievable!" Master Cai clasped his palms together and said with a smile, "But I heard that the reason why that inn has survived until now is because it was taken over by a couple from Yinhuan three months ago!" ”
"Heh, Yinhuan people, three months ago, think about it, they should have planted a lot of heels."
