Chapter 13 Mutual Aid Societies
Lu Yun stood in the crowd of people in the drifting area and fell into deep thought for a long time.
Just now, Tang Wu was stunned for a few seconds when he heard Lu Yun propose to take credit, and then he turned around and left directly, and said five words in a straight voice:
"TMD Poor Ghost!"
There is no way to speak between words, and the emotions are extremely real.
In addition to being embarrassed, Lu Yun also began to make difficulties, did he really have to find it by himself?
Looking at the large number of forks in the road around him, Lu Yun sighed and decided to look around if there were any well-wishers willing to tell him the location of the mutual aid association.
Just as Lu Yun made up his mind and was about to leave, another voice stopped him.
"Hey, do you want to go to a mutual aid association?"
A petite figure jumped in front of him from behind Lu Yun, and the voice was probably a young woman.
Her entire body was covered in a brownish-gray cloak made of coarse linen, and her overly slender hands and feet were as dusty as the cloak.
She also wore a black inhuman mask on her face hidden in her cloak, which tightly covered her facial features, including her eyes.
Lu Yun remembered that he had seen this kind of prototype creature imitated by the mask in the school books, as if it was called...
Cat?
"I don't have any money."
Lu Yun didn't pay much attention to it, he didn't want to be scolded for being a poor ghost again.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm different from those guys who don't know how to invest in the long term, of course it's okay to take credit in my place~"
She crossed her waist, patted her chest that didn't fluctuate, and raised her head to reassure Lu Yun.
This energetic appearance made it difficult for Lu Yun to imagine that she was actually from the drifting area, which was too different from the others he had seen so far.
"Oh? So how much do you want? ”
"80, what's going on? This is 30 yuan more than the market price is regarded as interest on credit, what do you think? ”
She gestured with her hand to make an eight-eight gesture, which sounded like Lu Yun had made a fortune.
But thanks to Tang Wu's offer just now, it was clear to Lu Yun that she had at least doubled the price.
"It's cheaper, I don't have to let you guide the tour, 60."
Lu Yun tried to bargain, although he was far less good at it than his mother.
"Eh, you have to know that in this drifting area, it is very dangerous to pay on credit!"
She spread her hands as if to lift the drifting area behind her to her body, as slender as her limbs.
"After all, who knows if you'll run away while you're waiting for you to pay? Will it be killed? Or kill me when you get there? ”
There was a smile between her words, more like she was telling a story than reality.
"I'm just a skinny girl, and if you don't want to pay for it, I can't stop it? So, it's reasonable to ask for some risk compensation, right? ”
Lu Yun was speechless, and even felt that she was very reasonable, and thought about it, what he was doing now was official business, even if he couldn't find the ether company for reimbursement, he could always let Feng Ran reimburse, right? Then there is nothing to be stingy with.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, besides, I won't run away from the order."
First, 80 yuan is really not particularly expensive, and it should be reimbursed, and secondly, Lu Yun is really not ashamed not to pay this kind of money that works hard in the rafting area.
"Okay, then the deal is set."
She stretched out her hand in front of Lu Yun.
"My name is Xiang Yan, and I hope we have a happy cooperation!"
"My name is Lu Yun, I'm sorry for you."
Lu Yun shook hands with Xiang Yan, indicating that the transaction was established, and if Xiang Yan terminated the entrustment for his own reasons next, Lu Yun would have the right to report to the mutual aid association.
After touching Xiang Yan's thin little hand, Lu Yun's mouth was filled with a messy taste, which couldn't help but make him sigh, this is the taste that normal people have.
What Qi Jie and George were before, all of them were wonderful, either there was only one kind of inexplicable taste, or there were many incredibly strong flavors.
Among the ups and downs that Lu Yun "tasted" from Xiang Yan's side, the most prominent thing was a sour and spicy that made the root of his tongue astringent.
This was somewhat unexpected by Lu Yun, because in addition to showing that Xiang Yan's personality was very active, she was also very afraid of others.
He can still understand the former, but Lu Yun really didn't expect that this heartless businessman was actually very afraid of others? But looking at Yan Yan's self-deprecating appearance, it doesn't look like it?
Lu Yun thought of the mask on her face again, thinking that he had guessed probably.
It's because of the appearance that I've been bullied, so I can only communicate with others if I wear a mask.
"Let's go, this mutual aid association is far away~"
"Well, lead the way."
Lu Yun followed behind Xiang Yan and slowly walked into the depths of the crowded drifting area.
………
After turning an unknown number of familiar corners, Lu Yun finally came to the door of the mutual aid association under the leadership of Xiang Yan.
It was a square building of about 5 or 6 floors, made of wood and iron plates, with colorful etheric lamps outlined above the gate with the words "Mutual Aid Society".
It's just that Lu Yun feels that this place is not at all like a mutual aid association that can compete with the major organizations in the suburbs, but more like a tavern that is a little bigger.
"This is the place you're looking for, the mutual aid association that manages this rafting area."
Xiang Yan pointed to the door number of the mutual aid association and introduced to Lu Yun.
However, when Lu Yun nodded and was about to go inside, he found that Xiang Yan had no intention of going in with him.
"Do you want me to go in with you?"
Seeing Lu Yun's somewhat puzzled eyes, Xiang Yan pointed at himself and laughed.
"It's okay, go in, I don't want to know why you're here, haha, I didn't expect you to be older than me, but you're still so afraid of life, oh~"
“… I don't remember the way back. ”
Lu Yun was speechless for a while.
"Don't worry, I know, I won't go too far, just call me when you come out."
After speaking, Xiang Yan walked directly towards an alley and disappeared from Lu Yun's field of vision.
Lu Yun sighed and pushed open the door of the mutual aid association.
"Ahem!"
A burst of pungent smoke made Lu Yun's throat hurt, and the smell of wine mixed with sweat made him feel sick to his stomach.
In the hall on the first floor of the Mutual Aid Society, many men and women in rough clothes sat in groups, and on the table were some round coins representing chips, and gulps of wine into their mouths.
Some of them noticed Lu Yun and immediately showed an expression of teasing children:
"Why did the young master from the north come to such a place? Want to play fencing with your uncles? ”
The sound of unbridled laughter instantly filled the entire hall, and more and more people began to notice Lu Yun, a visitor who was out of place with them.
"Hey! You should have put up a sign at the door, saying that this place belongs to adults... Forehead... Forehead... What do people in the city say? ”
"Club!"
"That's right! A club for adults! ”
The laughter was even louder, and the unprovoked ridicule made Lu Yun feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, and the only thing he felt comforted was that in the glance he had just made, his friends didn't seem to be in this group.
However, Lu Yun was surprised to find that the middle-aged man standing in what they called "Cheng Cannon" did not react to what they said.
The short hair on the top of his head was jet black, but his temples were covered with silver threads, and Lu Yun couldn't help but think that this charming shape looked very incompatible with the name Cheng Cannon.
This also made Lu Yun glad that there was still someone who could communicate here, and he walked quickly to the bar and decided to solve the task quickly.
"The alcohol here is strong, and the work is dangerous, please think about it."
Cheng Cannon's hoarse voice was like the bursting of bubbles, and together with the graceful action of wiping his cup, he isolated himself from his surroundings.
"I'm here to get something."
Lu Yun didn't understand his words very well, and decided to get straight to the point.
"Something? Have you ever issued a commission? ”
Cheng Cannon put down his glass and pointed to the board with many pieces of paper glued to the side.
"It's not me, it's Feng Ran, he asked me to get information."
"Seal the fire?"
Lu Yun could clearly feel that there was surprise in Cheng Cannon's tone, indicating that he must have known Feng Ran.
"He asked you to come here to pick up something? Is there any evidence? ”
Cheng Cannon's tone suddenly became serious, and he stared at Lu Yun tightly, trying to find a hint of a lie in the latter's eyes.
"Into a cannon! Why is it so serious all of a sudden! Does he want you to help him become a man? ”
It seems that someone has noticed the situation at the front desk, and then began to make fun of the atmosphere of the conversation between the two.
However, Cheng Cannon did not receive the slightest impact, and just continued to look at Lu Yun.
"Is this okay?"
Lu Yun took out the things that had been in his pocket for a long time.
It was a droplet of water that emitted a faint blue light, wrapped in intertwined wings.
That's the badge of the Aether Corporation.
