Chapter 20: The Rookie Enters the City for the First Time (Ask for Recommended Collection)
"Put this on!" The old man suddenly handed over a hood, black, a bit like the guy on the head of the criminal, but there was no slit in the eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Kao Dong muttered in his heart, let him wear this thing because he was afraid that he would know the route to Jiaodu? You don't have to wear it now, right?
"Well, can you not wear it? Wouldn't it be better for you to tell me directly how to go to the corner, and I won't have to trouble you next time I want to go. β
"Hmph, boy, you think beautifully, the old man takes you to Jiaodu City, but there is a fee, I told you the route, who did the old man ask for money?" The old man flapped his fingers, and the meaning was obvious.
"Huh? Do you want to collect money? No, how much, how much? At the mention of Qian Kaodong, his face became bitter.
The old man stretched out three fingers and turned his back to Kaodong.
"Three hundred?"
The old man glared at Kao Dong angrily and scolded: "Stinky boy, are you the old man asking for food?" Three thousand, not one less. β
Kao Dong immediately jumped up.
"You're robbing money? It costs three thousand to lead the way? β
"The price is this price, you can see if you go or not." After that, the old man shook his head and entered the small temple.
Kao Dong scolded in his heart: You are a dead old man who sees money, you have eaten winter, right?
"Two thousand lines?" Kao Dong shouted.
No one answered.
In the end, Kao Dong had to grit his teeth and said: "Okay, three thousand is three thousand, but I have one condition, pay half first, and then give you the other half when I buy the purple talisman, if it doesn't work, forget it." β
"You went to the Corner City to sell purple talismans?" The old man suddenly walked out and stared at Kao Dong with a hellish expression.
Kao Dong was stared at uncomfortably, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong? β
Hehe......
The old man just smiled, stretched out his hand, and did not explain, Kao Dong pursed his lips, thought for a few times before reluctantly taking out 1,500 yuan in cash and handing it over to the old man.
After receiving the money, the other party was not ambiguous, handed Kao Dong a red rope and reminded: "Put on the hood." β
"Huh!"
Kao Dong did so, and then he felt a pulling force from the red rope, presumably the old man had already acted, so he walked forward, he lowered his head, trying to peek through the gap under the hood, but he had to admit that the old man was too shrewd, and quickly put a ring around his neck, and now he was completely blackened.
"Hey, old man, you took my money and still treated me like this? Treat me like a dog, hey, you walk slowly, what if you fall? β
Kao Dong complained all the way, but the old man didn't pay attention to it at all, and about a quarter of an hour passed, Kao Dong suddenly felt a burst of light coming from his eyes, and realized that the hood had been removed.
"Is it there?" After squinting for a while, when he opened his eyes, Kao Dong was completely stunned......
What appeared in front of him was a huge underground castle, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers patrolling back and forth with long robes.
"ThisβThis is the Horned Capital City? Didn't you say underground? This, this, this ......"
"Hehe, boy, feel it, the corner capital is far more mysterious than you think, this is a communication talisman, when you have had enough, go back to this high platform and burn it, and the old man will come to pick you up." With that, the old man walked leisurely into the darkness again, and soon disappeared without a trace.
"Hey, don't go, you haven't taken me in yet, hey...... This black-hearted old man ran too fast, and in less than two steps, he actually blackened Brother Dong for 3,000 yuan! β
Kao Dong glanced at the top of his head, it was pitch black, as if he couldn't see the top, he was a little confused about whether this was above ground or underground, when he came in, it was obviously daytime, but it was like night here, the tower-shaped building was like a blue palace, exuding a crystal light in the dark night, the top of his head and all around were dark, and he couldn't see anything like a stone wall at all, if this was underground, how big should it be?
"Hoo ......"
Taking a deep breath, Kao Dong walked towards the city of Jiaodu, and was stopped by soldiers as soon as he got closer.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
"Hello sir, I'm here to send information."
"Why don't you wear a face covering?"
"Face shields? What face shields? "Kao Dong is completely blindsided.
At this time, another soldier walked over, looked at Kao Dong twice, and said to his companions: "Forget it, captain, looking at this kid's appearance, it is estimated that he is coming to Jiaodu City for the first time, and he doesn't understand the rules, so I'll take him to get a mask." β
The man who was called the captain also glanced at Kao Dong a few times, didn't say much, nodded and turned to leave.
"Come with me!"
Kao Dong didn't understand the situation at all, but he could only follow behind the soldiers.
"The sir? You just said you want to wear a face mask, what kind of face mask? β
"Don't talk so much, this is the rule of the Horn Capital, no matter who you are, as long as you enter it, you must wear a mask, follow this road all the way, you will see some stalls, where masks are cheap, you can go and buy one yourself and put it on and you can enter the city, it is best not to let anyone know your identity when you go inside."
The soldier left, Kao Dong shrugged helplessly, I didn't expect there to be so many rules in Jiaodu City, but this chief is not bad, he should not be much older than him, right?
"Little brother? Buy a mask? Do you want black or white? β
"Little brother? I have this too, come with one? β
"I have it too, buy mine, give you a discount."
Dragged by a group of small vendors, Kao Dong is also drunk, why don't you buy a mask? Do you want to be ...... Enthusiastic?
"Uh...... Uncle, do you have the same mask here? Kao Dong glanced at the masks on several stalls, except for the choice of colors, the styles were all round faces, and he was speechless.
"It's the first time the little brother has come to the Horn Capital, right? No wonder you don't know, there are all kinds of people here, I heard that there are ghosts, masks are used to hide their identity, and it is not good to have more styles, everyone wears the same mask, so you can't tell who is who, so even if you have any grudges in the city, no one will know you outside. β
Kaodong nodded, so it was.
"Can't distinguish sounds?"
"Hehe, little brother will know if you put it on and try it." The stall owner didn't explain, but handed Kao Dong a black mask, and Kao Dong put it on suspiciously, and asked:
"And yet...... My voice? β
Kao Dong was completely stunned, and after putting on the mask, his voice completely changed, like an old man.
"It's amazing, isn't this expensive? How much? I bought it! Kao Dong Meimei took off her mask and asked in a white one.
"It's not expensive, a yin coin!" The middle-aged stall owner stretched out a finger and smiled.
"What? A yin, yin and yang coin? Isn't that expensive? Grab money? Kao Dong threw off his mask with a ghostly expression, what the hell is this? A broken mask needs a yin-yang coin?
Converted into Huaxia coins, that's a full 10,000, which is even darker than the old man who brought him in?
The middle-aged stall owner frowned, looked at Kao Dong with disdain, and did not speak, but put away the mask by himself. In his opinion, the young boy in front of him is estimated to be a stunned man, or he is a kid who can come to the corner capital without a thousand eight hundred yin and yang coins? Is a yin and yang coin too expensive? Why, do you still want him to give away money in vain?
He sells the cheapest stall goods, and the real good mask is more than 10,000 yin and yang coins.
"Not an uncle? I came to Jiaodu City for something, I really don't have that much money, do you see if it can be cheaper? How about 3,000 Chinese dollars? β
"Three thousand? Paying back Chinese dollars? Hehe......"
"Five thousand? Six thousand head office, right? Eight thousand...... Well, I bought it! Kao Dong took out a stack of red tickets and counted them one by one, and he felt a drop of blood drip in his heart for each count.
"Ten thousand, just right, you order!"
"One thousand less, ten thousand in total."
"No, why is that? Isn't it said that it is a good yin and yang coin? β
"You can give me a yin and yang coin, and the Chinese dollar needs to be exchanged for an additional 1,000 yuan."
"Uncle? How can you be unreasonable? Now the Chinese dollar is the same price as the US dollar, and the ratio to the yin and yang currency is also 10,000. β
"That's outside, the transactions in Jiaodu City have always been yin and yang coins, do you buy them or not?" The stall owner didn't seem to have much patience anymore, so Kao Dong could only grit his teeth and take out ten more red tickets, and the middle-aged man handed him the mask.
Touching the mask, Kao Dong suddenly felt that there was a big gap in his heart, and he didn't get anything done for a long time, so he spent 13,000, which was his savings for a whole year, and he still had 27,000 left on his body, and he didn't know what price Zifu could sell for in this, and whether it was enough money to inquire about information.
