Chapter 2 Ginkgo Town
After stepping out of the elevator, a city shrouded in night appeared in front of Yunyi.
In the bright moonlight, this small city was dead silent, without any lights or sounds. This made Yun Yi a little unconvinced, the cities he had visited before, whether it was Chang'an or Berwick, or those small countries in the southeast star field, had long since lost the difference between day and night. Interstellar trade and business transactions cannot be stopped because it is night. And many industries are facing the world or star fields, even if you are here at night, other cities and space are daylight, and the needs of work are destined to be open 24 hours a day.
In the city in front of you, there are very few lights on. The seven-storey, eight-lane hovercar lane in mid-air only occasionally passes through it, and most of the time it is extremely idle. The streets were also silent, with no pedestrians, and the occasional cat meow was creepy.
Yun Yi frowned, all of this made him feel extremely foreign to this country. Although Feng Huanxing is backward, it has been developed for nearly a hundred years when Yunyi was young, and the Zhao and Song empires have invested a lot of money, manpower and material resources in this country, so there is no reason to be so deserted.
"Sir, it's so late, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
A low, hoarse voice drifted into Yun Yi's ears like a wandering spirit, and he was startled so much that he almost raised his hand to defend himself. When he turned around, he saw an old woman in a black veil, standing behind him with a bent body.
Some of the passengers who came out of the elevator walked to the hotel near the elevator, while most of them chose to open their bags in the lobby outside the elevator, pull out a blanket and clothes and sleep. The long journey has exhausted these people, and the environment in the interstellar train is extremely harsh, although this planet is not known yet, but at least the air is fresh enough, and the cool summer night, even if it is just a simple hall, can make people feel comfortable.
But for Yun Yi, who didn't carry any bedding, he had no choice but to go to the hotel. Speaking of which, there are two sets of field camping equipment in the space necklace of Cloud Wing, but this situation is not suitable for taking it out at the moment, and the bewitching blue light is enough to focus the eyes of everyone in this hall on him.
"Take me there."
His gaze swept across the hall, lingering for a moment on the woman with the little girl. The two chose to be in a corner of the hall, and the woman first opened a package and spread a thin blanket that was not too thick on the floor, and then lay on it with her daughter in her arms, covered only with some dirty furoshiki, and the rest of the bags were threaded with a rope and tied to her hands, presumably so that others would not steal it.
The hotel was small, occupying only half a floor on this four-hundred-story building, with less than a hundred rooms, most of which were empty, at the mercy of Yun Yi. He wasn't picky, and after paying a rent that was extremely low compared to Berwick's nemesis, he randomly picked a room by the window. The inside was quite clean and hygienic, and after washing away the dust that had been stained on the interstellar train for several days, Yun Yi lay on the bed and fell asleep after a while.
In the dream, he seemed to see Lin Moxue, who was dressed in military uniform, walked up to the Chu Tang Palace coldly, and cut off Chu Xiuxian's head with a knife. The small head rolled to the feet of Yun Yi, and before he could speak, the surrounding ministers fell to the ground, shouting long live. As soon as Lin Moxue sat on the throne, Yun Yi saw Zhao Xiyue wearing the same clothes as the Empress Zhao and Song at the beginning, and walked in under the escort of Liang Zecheng, Qi Daoxue and others, standing beside Yun Yi.
The bright sword light in Lin Moxue's hand pointed at Yunyi: "Choose me, or choose her?" ”
Zhao Xiyue also stared at her: "Brother, aren't you willing to take care of me anymore?" ”
At some point, Syrophys also stood behind him and said, "Whoever you choose, I will always stand behind you." ”
The three figures continued to revolve around him, and as he spoke, Chu Xiuxian's head under his feet also grinned: "Didn't you say that you wanted to be my master......
Yun Yi opened his eyes violently, only to find that the sky had already dawned. He shook his aching head, took a bath, put on his black cloak again, and retired from the house to the city.
During the day, the city still seems so empty. The streets are sparsely populated with pedestrians and vehicles, and it's impossible to tell that this is one of the top 10 cities on the planet with a population of 200 million.
Through the inquiry of the light brain, Yun Yi walked to the station not far away, where there was a bus to Ginkgo Town.
The cheap bus was very suitable for his current status, and when he first arrived in Iseras, Yun Yi was so good at talking that he asked Sakura to help him forge an identity in the central light brain of the civil affairs department in Isseras, and then spent 20,000 imperial gold dollars to buy a land certificate from a black market, and boarded the startrain like those bankrupt citizens.
When he came to the station, he happened to see that the mother and daughter he met yesterday were also here, as if they were talking to the driver of the bus hover, with a pleading expression.
It wasn't until he got closer that he understood. It turned out that the ticket to Ginkgo Town cost 150 yuan, half price for the child, and the woman was only willing to pay 200 yuan, and was bargaining with the driver. In this case, the driver persuaded him well, saying that the bus company was opened by the local nobleman Baron Ryan, and that the charges were all from the Baron's mansion, and he was just a driver and did not have the right to collect fares.
The young woman couldn't help but pull her daughter and wait.
After a while, a pot-bellied man walked over and stood at the door of the car and shouted: "If you want to get on the bus, hurry up and buy a ticket, and you will leave in ten minutes, and you will not wait for the expiration date." Yun Yi was about to step forward, his eyes suddenly fell on the mother and daughter, but he saw that the young woman took out a handful of change in her pocket, Yun Yi only glanced at it, and could tell that the money would not exceed two hundred and fifty yuan at most.
"Give me two full tickets and a child ticket." Yun Yi took out four hundred-dollar bills and handed them over, the fat man looked at him, and tore off three bills for him.
"Ah, it's yesterday's weird uncle!" When the little girl saw Yun Yi coming over, she immediately shouted happily.
Strange uncle? Yun Yi touched his nose, this little girl and Sakura both said so, is he really a strange uncle?
The young woman gently slapped the little girl on the back and said, "Don't talk nonsense, baby." Then he apologized to Yun Yi and said, "I'm sorry, the little girl is too rude." Why are you here? ”
"My land is in Ginkgo Town." Yun Yi smiled and handed over the ticket in his hand: "When you go out, everyone has a time of suffering, take it." ”
"This ...... How embarrassing is that. The young woman did not take the ticket, but looked at Yunyi vigilantly. Perhaps, in her opinion, this kind of charity for no reason will be the beginning of a series of conspiracy on the other side?
"If I'm not mistaken, you're going to Ginkgo Town too, right?" Yun Yi handed her the ticket in his hand again, showing a warm smile: "Just take it as a little gift from your future neighbor." ”
"If you bought a ticket, hurry up and get on the bus, the time is coming soon, and those who don't catch the bus will not be refunded."
The fat man shouted loudly, and there was no one around to get into the car, only Yun Yi and the mother and daughter.
The young woman hesitated for a moment, took the ticket and said in a low voice: "Just think I borrowed you, and I will return it to you in the future." ”
"Let's talk about it later, let's go, get in the car."
There weren't many people on the train, except for some bankrupt citizens who had just gotten off the interstellar train like Yunyi, and the rest of them were all carrying large bags and small bags, as if they were going to do business.
The seats of the three of them were side by side, and the young woman rarely spoke on the way, but the little girl named the baby was very happy to talk to Yun Yi. It seems that Yun Yi has the potential to be a daddy, and along the way, he told some interesting things that he had seen over the years, which made the little girl startled, and even the young woman listened attentively.
"Ahh Uncle Blame, is there really such a big mouse? Wouldn't that even scare the cat away? ”
Yun Yi opened his wrist light brain, took out a picture of the Nasiriyah giant rat and showed it to her, explaining: "There are no cats on that planet, this kind of rat is very powerful, not only at the top of the food chain, but also attacks humans. When people first landed on that planet, they lost a lot of people. ”
He was talking about creatures on a planet in the United States of Nasiriyah, in the far east of the southern universe, near the Asian star field, and this strange animal was the most suitable to attract such a curious little girl.
Along the way, the hovercar passes through the city, past a large expanse of lush farmland and over a continuous mountain range. After about an hour of driving over the mountains, the hovercar was surrounded by yellow sand. The expressions of the bankrupt citizens in the car also changed from the joy at the beginning to the current frustration and worry, and their hearts gradually sank.
If the land they get is all such sandy land, then it is better to find a place to commit suicide.
Half an hour later, the hovercar landed slowly in a desert oasis, a small town that looked extremely backward. From the air, the tallest building in the town is nothing more than an eight-story building in the center of the town. Other buildings, however, rarely exceed four floors. At the entrance to the town, a huge sign reads "Welcome to Ginkgo Town."
Is this where they want to live in the future?
Everyone's expressions became extremely angry after being flustered and dazed.
There is no doubt that they were all deceived.
