The battle plan against Shen Ruchao and others was agreed, and Li Shu'er let Yang Yi and Wei Ergou rest for a day. Because Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi lived in a boudoir, when Wei Ergou and Yang Yi went to chat with the two of them, they saw that Zhongli Yiyi remained silent for most of the time, just listening to Liu Ruoxue, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou chatting, Yang Yi guessed that she was touching the scene, and she was thinking about the lively scene at home, and she didn't want to make her sad, so she dragged Wei Ergou away.

After coming out, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou saw that the sun was shining outside, and then through the reflection of the thick snow on the ground, people couldn't open their eyes, and they couldn't help but feel good.

Zhang Xiwang was grinding beans in his tofu factory, and when he saw that Yang Yi and Wei Ergou were going out, he hurriedly caught up and asked if he needed his youngest son to accompany the two of them out to go around, so as not to get lost, but Yang Yi and Wei Ergou refused.

After thanking Zhang Xiwang, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou walked out of the gate, took a look at the characteristics of the Zhang Xiwang family's residence, and walked aimlessly along the alleyway that had been trampled by pedestrians' footprints more than one meter wide.

I don't know if I don't go, as soon as I walked, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou finally realized the meaning of "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse", I didn't expect that this area that looks like the junction of urban and rural areas is so large, and most of the low-rise houses are connected to each other by corridors, looking like the tunnel war against the Japanese invaders, and along the way, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou met all kinds of people, men and women, old and young, with different clothes and different expressions, but the only thing that is the same is that after they saw the faces of Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, There was a look of vigilance and disgust on everyone's faces, and some of the fierce-looking big men still looked the two of them up and down with unkind eyes, seeing that Wei Ergou's heart was arching up for a while, and he really wanted to open his mouth and ask, "What the hell are you looking at?" But when he thought that they were now wanted criminals in the Cangzhou Mansion of the Qing Dynasty, it was not appropriate to be too high-profile, so he took a breath and walked forward with Yang Yi at a faster pace.

However, Yang Yi walked in this environment full of unfriendliness and even violence, but he had a sense of familiarity, because, although the buildings and personnel in front of him were all dressed in the style of the Qing Dynasty, the things in his bones were similar to the urban-rural areas where his city was mainly inhabited by migrant workers, runaway women, organized beggars, and even drug dealers, traffickers, thieves, thieves and other people at the bottom of society. Together, they form a gray marginal area outside the mainstream society, in which violence, crime, depravity, and death play the protagonists unchanged, and human nature is distorted and perverted quickly in this environment, which is far from what normal people can imagine, understand, and accept.

No wonder Uncle Li chose this place as their hiding place, this old liar has long known that there is such an area in Cangzhou City that is similar to a slum and a paradise for underworld forces, and it is also a "violent block" that the government officials and soldiers are easily unwilling to touch, so they will live here, this old liar is too socially experienced, could it be that this old liar opened a fragrant hall and was a leading brother before becoming a Taoist priest, otherwise why is he so familiar with the market at the bottom of these societies?

With questions, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou walked another section of the alley and walked out of the alley, only to find that in this huge slum, there was still a lively street.

In the middle of the street, there were enough horse-drawn carriages to line side by side, and on both sides of the road, there were all low shops with smoke coming from the roofs of every house, including wine shops, tea houses, shaving shops, noodle shops, and cart shops...... It is really crowded, the cars and horses are noisy, listening to the accents of pedestrians coming and going, there are Zhili, Shanxi, Henan and even those with extraoral (now Inner Mongolia) accents, it is very lively.

Between the shops and the street, although it is cold and windy, there are also many people wearing thick jackets and carrying buns, selling the local products piled up in front of them outdoors, and in the wine shop, with the opening and closing of the store door, there is constantly the sound of steaming mist and shouting and drinking, as well as the sound of women babbling and singing in small tunes.

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou were accustomed to seeing the scene of the war and the depression in the main urban area of Cangzhou City, and they were all surprised to see such a lively scene in this slum that seemed to be a temple fair in the land of Gyeonggi, Wei Ergou patted his head and exclaimed in amazement: "Oh, this boundary is so cool, the pedestrian street is this!" ”

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou walked towards the street, sniffed their noses, smelled the aroma of boiled beef, and there was a hunger in their stomachs. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and they wanted to find a wine shop to go in and have a drink, if it was not bad, they would invite Uncle Li, Liu Ruoxue, and Zhongli Yiyi to come over and relax.

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou raised their eyes to look at the wine flags hanging in front of the store, and were thinking about which one to go to, when suddenly Wei Ergou sniffled, smelling a strange aroma, some sweet, and there seemed to be a faint taste of tobacco in the sweetness, they couldn't help but arouse their addiction to smoking, and looked at Yang Yi and said: "Lightning, buddy hasn't been addicted to it for a long time, how can you smell the cigars of Havana in Cuba now, let's go, don't be busy eating, let's go buy cigars first, hehe"

As soon as Wei Ergou mentioned cigars, although Yang Yi's addiction was not as big as his, he was also reminded of his past life, and he involuntarily followed Wei Ergou and followed the fragrance.

After walking through four or five shops, I saw two rows of shops, and every three or so on, there were two big men wearing sheepskin coats, old sheepskin snow hats, and weasel skin boots, standing at the door with a fierce look, and the old sheepskin coats were bulging, and there were weapons such as knives and axes hidden at a glance.

Wei Ergou smelled the smell of smoke, which came from those shops guarded by big men, and wondered in his heart, why is a place that sells cigarettes still on guard, as if he was negotiating with the big brother of the underworld over tea.

Wei Ergou has always been a character who doesn't put anyone in his eyes, and he didn't pay attention to those big men, he just chose a shop and was about to go in, but he didn't want to be stopped by the two big men in front of the door, one of them stared at Wei Ergou with a pair of fierce eyes, and shouted in a rough voice: "Hey, what the hell are you going to do?" ”

"Buy cigarettes, what's the matter, buy cigarettes and look at your ID card, do you think I'm underage?" Seeing that the man was speaking very arrogantly, Wei Ergou felt a little unhappy in his heart, but because of his current identity, it was not easy to have a seizure, so he looked at the man with slanted eyes, and his smile was already a little reluctant.

"Buying cigarettes? Recently, the war has been tight, and the price of cigarettes has risen, have you brought enough silver? The big man glanced at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou up and down a few times, and saw that they were brightly dressed, but it didn't seem that the patron who had no money was young and young, he must have stolen the family's silver, and he didn't dare to go to the fireworks Willow Lane**, so he would come here to smoke the official eunuch or the ruined son of the rich businessman's family, and finally showed a cruel smile on his rough face, and asked.

"Of course I have Uncle Yinzi, I'm afraid you don't have so many goods, hehe" Wei Ergou took out the "prostitution money" of the 100 taels of silver tickets that Li Shu'er gave at the beginning, and shook it at the two big men, and the two big men dodged and let go of the store.

As soon as you enter, you are greeted by a wave of heat, and the air is filled with the smell of sweet fragrance, as well as the smell of sweat, feet and noisy human voices.

After the frost vapor in front of them dissipated, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou looked at it fixedly, and they were stunned, which is the place where Cuban cigars are sold, and they saw that the store was divided into two bedrooms, the front half was a circle of Datong shop, and the pavement was full of men with braids and coarse cloth jackets, one by one curled up on the bunk, holding a cigarette gun in his hand, and he was swallowing clouds and spitting smoke in front of the cigarette lamp.

Damn, this is the legendary cigarette shop!

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou stood in the center of the store, watching the sweaty guy running inside and out, sending snow-white hand towels and snacks to the inner layer of the store from time to time, knowing that it must be a VIP VIP room for people with status to smoke big cigarettes.

When the two of them were secretly laughing and turning around to leave, a guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks greeted him with a smile on his face: The two masters, at first glance, they are nobles, how can they be here, be careful not to let the pickled smell on these broken bodies smoke the delicate body of the master, you two please, the small shop is equipped with good cloud soil, and the entrance has an endless aftertaste, you are satisfied, hehe"

Wei Ergou glanced at the guy, bared his teeth and smiled, "Do you have Havana cigars here?" ”

"Ha, Hawa, that snow ......" The guy was stunned by Wei Ergou's question, and he opened his mouth for a long time, and he didn't understand what the Havana cigar in Wei Ergou's mouth was, and he was embarrassed, when he heard a few rough scoldings and wild laughter outside the door, as well as the woman's hoarse cry for help, which caused Yang Yi and Wei Ergou to subconsciously look back at the door of the store, and only then did they solve the man's siege.

At this time, I saw that the door of the store was pushed open, and a man with an obscene appearance and shabby clothes grabbed a woman's hair and dragged the woman into the store.

As soon as he saw the man, the guy in the store immediately changed into another cold face, and went up to the man and scolded: "Liu Er, why are you so fucking shameless, this is a tobacco shop, not a monk temple, who is willing to do good deeds and give you cigarette money on credit, get out quickly, don't annoy Lao Tzu, call someone to beat you out of the leper dog with an old fist, get out!" ”
