Chapter 40: Dark
The road is chosen by himself and walked out by himself, Chang Feibai is right, he also practices it in this way, although he still can't let go of his hands and feet, but he has gradually had his own ideas. Chang Feibai, who has been gradually becoming independent, understands this truth, even if his brother Chang Feizhan can protect himself to the end, he will also face the independent survival of the last year of his senior year, and if he doesn't want others to control his own destiny, he has to make the choice of controlling his destiny. In addition to training his marksmanship with Cuarón every day, he is also trying to motivate himself to test his life, a kind of consciously confronting strife on purpose, which is rare among first-year students, because most of them are looking for a shortcut, which is to cling to the mature forces of the senior and arm themselves with external forces. Chang Feibai didn't do that, he believed his brother's words, only if he can really face the challenges independently, he can really survive.
These days, Chang Feizhan, the elder brother who taught him to see this world clearly, is facing a great crisis, that is, the joint strangulation of the Tiandao Society and the Student Union, although it is still calm on the surface, but there is already an undercurrent surging in private, and the intelligence network of the Tiandao Society in the South Campus is not idle for a moment, and the frequency of transmitting information is so frequent that some transit members even have to divide into two lunches, everything has been directed to Chang Feizhan, and Chang Feizhan is also aware. Even if there is no Bai Gu urging him, he has stepped up the rhythm of investigating the undercover agents around him, as long as he finds out the undercover agents who are hiding and waiting for the opportunity to assassinate him, he can logically declare war on the hostile forces, as far as it seems at present, except for a few people in the entire class who can join forces to cause trouble to themselves, there is no possibility of weaker assassins, but the possibility of hiding his strength is not impossible, how to make him appear has become a headache for Chang Feizhan.
The current Chang Feibai is no longer the rookie he was at the beginning, although he does not have the instruction of his brother Chang Feizhan, but after his schoolwork and practice, after the end of the shooting range training, he will definitely mix in the trading places of various black markets, he knows the importance of information to his brother, so he tries to use a sound and powerful intelligence trading environment to obtain clues and find out the undercover backbone. After being in and out of these occasions for a long time, he will naturally be able to become familiar with everything in the black market, from code words to rules, from the authority system to the prohibition enchantment, he has almost completely taken over the entire set of black market knowledge of his brother Chang Feizhan, although it is only a social aspect with the 9R Alliance as the core and then expanding outwards in order has great limitations, but this is enough to make Chang Feibai the leader of the current freshman.
The black market is very widespread, almost everywhere, and the thrift market managed by Lai Bao Erye and Bai Gu can only be regarded as an exchange club at best, and there are often very few large-scale strongholds and stores that actually open for business. The most well-known are the jazz pianist who lives in the small bar in the sphere of influence of the third-year students, the wandering singers in the Mercury Lantern Square, and the gypsy girls in the night market under the guise of astrology. They sell and buy information, contraband, and human lives, sometimes exchanging a sentence for a note, sometimes a sentence for the life and death of a group of people. They are everywhere, and they follow the trend.
Chang Feibai is looking for such a group of people, and many of the people he often deals with are frequent visitors to the Bounty Alliance, so it is not difficult to ask something, as long as you have enough patience to find it, there will always be someone waiting for you with answers.
But obviously Chang Feibai's patience is very limited, he has dealt with three or four black market merchants in a row and has nothing that interests him, during which he met a very enthusiastic guy, and chased out half of the shop street just to sell his magic oil secret recipe, to put it bluntly, it is an earthen recipe for making aphrodisiacs, and he keeps saying that it is ancestral, which makes Chang Feibai's heart messy for a long time. Just when he listened to it to no avail and was about to go home, he found a little girl stewed around a small stove in the corner of the shop street, although the temperature by the stove roasted her all over her body and sweated, but she seemed to have some grievances, and she squatted there completely ignoring the frowning and staring at the flames in the furnace, and there was a brown drum-style pendant hanging on her snow-white neck, which couldn't help but make Chang Feibai secretly surprised, and then looked closely, the girl in front of her was no different from ordinary girls except for her pretty appearance and extremely white skin. He even felt that this girl was very similar to the jade and exquisite Tang Linglong that Chang Feizhan once said, and her skin was whiter than snow. Although he hadn't seen the senior sister who had died tragically a long time ago, he felt that the person in front of him would definitely not insult the title of Jade Linglong. The reason why Chang Feibai looked at this girl so carefully was not because he was moved, but because of the brown drum hanging around the girl's neck. The thumb-sized, flattened cylindrical shape looks like a dusty ornament hanging on the chest, dull. This pendant means the word "dark drum", which means "dark Jia", hanging down under the chest and above the heart, which means to hold the key point. Hanging such a thing means to show others that he is not an ordinary black market merchant, but a black market merchant who can control the fate of many people, and he is a big businessman who does not see the light of day when he buys and sells, but his hands and eyes are blind.
Speaking of this pendant, it has a lot of origins, and it is a sign of a big trader with such a small drum on the black market at the boundary of the thrift market, which is a reward for Lai Bao's second master after doing a good job. Usually only hand-eye or a very small number of unlucky traders will get this thing, which is a kind of recognition of ability, commonly known as the golden signboard. Generally, treasures can be found from this kind of person, or the shopkeeper himself is the treasure of the dragon and phoenix among the people. Chang Feibai really admired the proverb left by his ancestors at this time--people can't look good, the sea can't fight, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, who would have thought that such a girl as fresh as snow accumulation would actually be the male master of the black market realm?
These incisions are not needed at all by ordinary black market merchants, but they must be used to do business with traders who have hidden drums, because this can exclude those who are not very familiar with the local circle, and protect the safety of these big merchants to a certain extent. What Chang Feibai means by this is: I searched all the black market sellers, and the goods I gave were not very satisfactory, could I please take a look at the goods in your store.
I thought that this girl would stumble out of this line of code incision unfamiliarly, but who knew that the girl didn't raise her head, and replied indifferently and fluently: "It's okay, I don't know if it's for peace, wealth, or ...... Fly the flag, please?"
The meaning of this sentence is: Yes, but my aunt is not very reluctant, I don't know if you want to hire a bounty hunter to protect yourself or kill someone, or do you want to take a life order to earn a commission? Or do you want to do business that has nothing to do with human life? or ...... Do you want to have something with feelings? you know~
Chang Feibai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Just listen to it." ”
The meaning of this is to say, "Just inquire about something."
Only then did the fair-skinned girl raise her head, give Chang Feibai a fierce look, and squeeze out a sentence from her mouth sharply: "Poor beep!"
The meaning of this sentence is: poor beep...... Hey, why is such a beautiful girl still scolding?
Chang Feibai's reaction at this time was probably similar to mine, but he didn't express it so gaffe, and he was still slightly stunned, but before Chang Feibai could react, the fair-skinned girl continued: "Listen to the sound." ”
What does this mean: What do you want to ask about?
Chang Feibai opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he saw that the girl stretched out her hand to stop it, shook her head and blurted out to herself: "Mezzo-soprano, soprano, dolphin or Guanyin?"
It means: Okay...... What does this mean...... The old lady doesn't want to do it well.
Chang Feibai was stunned by the fair-skinned girl's sudden nervous chatter, and just looked at the girl squatting there, shaking a broken fan, fanning the fire, and singing nervously: "Sister is an old Chinese medicine doctor, specializing in bragging and beeping, headache, brain fever, low blood pressure, it has nothing to do with me......
Chang Feibai has the heart to cry, why can't I understand this girl's code incision at all? This is different from what he said, just as he stood there and looked at the fair-skinned girl at a loss, an old radio was thrown out from the shop on the opposite side of the shop and smashed it directly. The girl reacted so quickly that without even looking, she stretched out her arm and grabbed the radio. Then an angry scolding came out of the shop: "Cheng Wei, if you don't work hard, you won't have anything to eat at night!"
"Got it!"
The girl lazily unfolded her bumpy body and stretched, responding impatiently.
"Fix that drama box, I still have to hold and listen to the music at night!" The voice came from the shop again: "The tea is almost gone, go to the street outside to buy me some after frying the medicine, don't give me a whole bargain, the Pu'er you bought last time was brewed with the addition of instant noodles and condiments, you said how much money you swallowed to sell tea?!"
Chang Feibai stared at this strange girl who was reluctant to even come to the door to buy and sell, and was suddenly scolded, and she had no idea at all. Judging from the "handy" she showed just now, it is definitely not a general person. Standing where I was and continuing to ask, I didn't turn around and leave, I just stared at the girl called Cheng Wei squatting there and muttering while fiddling with the broken radio, until the girl noticed that Chang Feibai hadn't left for a long time, so she raised her head and whispered to him: "Don't leave yet, can't you see that the old lady doesn't like to take on small jobs? Let's go, let's go, don't bother me." If you don't give up...... Across the street, there is a person in the shop who understands, the Golden Buddha can let him scrape into an iron Buddha when he passes in front of his door, and he will definitely do your business. ”
Looking in the direction of Cheng Wei's finger, there was a rough gasping sound like a broken bellows from the small shop where the radio was thrown just now, followed by a shrill coughing sound like the bottom of the iron pot being scraped. Chang Feibai couldn't see what was going on inside through the door curtain, so Chang Feibai strode over, and just when he reached out to open the door curtain, a thin boy with black-framed glasses and slightly yellow hair flashed out of the door with a smile, and blocked Chang Feibai outside, although the boy's physique in front of him did not belong to the robust type, and could even be described as thin, but the flexible movements and calm and restrained temperament had to make Chang Feibai immediately feel jealous. With his appearance, Cheng Wei, who was squatting on the opposite side of the road and secretly laughing, also stuck out her tongue and turned her head, obediently continuing the work in her hands.
