Chapter 140: Gold for Sugar
The light curtain is obviously virtual, and there are no holes in the iron door, but the men's Lori inserts the card into the POS machine in the light curtain, and at the same time, a 'drop' prompt sounds.
The cheongsam beauty showed a polite smile just right, bowed slightly, and said Welcome Miss Mei Lin, please come in.
Then the light curtain disappeared, and the gate pushed to one side, and the dark red carpet stretched from the outside of the gate to the depths of the amusement park, and I don't know where the end is.
The men's Lori walked through the door with four bodyguards, and I used teleportation to sneak in with them, of course, next to a fairytale hut far away from them.
The fact that the inside of the playground was completely different from what I saw from the outside confirmed that I was right to be cautious, and from the outside, there were only newly built rides in the park, quietly, as if there was no one.
After coming in, I realized that there were many tourists walking around in the park, and the stalls lined up next to each other on the roadside could be described as varied, and the voices of people were boiling, and the sound of selling was endless.
People who visit the garden are dressed differently, whether they are exquisite, casual, or uniform 'uniforms', these people's clothes have one thing in common, that is, clean.
In the past few months of the apocalypse, it is not easy for ordinary survivors to survive, and clean water resources are becoming less and less, and being able to dress so clean shows that they are by no means ordinary survivors.
I reckon that there are people from all over the north here, and all of them are very strong, and we were too lonely before.
The Pure Land is not in contact with the outside world, and the new Taoyuan is also self-contained, so I think that everyone in the world today is living their own small lives behind closed doors.
Who would have thought that there would be a large-scale trading market similar to the past, with stalls selling everything from the periphery to food, clothing, electrical appliances and jewelry, and even some people looted museums and brought in many priceless cultural relics.
These things should not be eaten or drunk now, and they are of no value at all from a practical point of view, but perhaps one day when the world is at peace, there will always be a time when order will be restored, and then these antiquities will be valuable, and there will be many people who are willing to make long-term investments.
I changed into the appearance of a middle-aged man, and since I swallowed the corpse mist, my disguise ability has been improved, and now I can not only look like it, but even the voice can be imitated.
Walking around the entire peripheral market, there are no sellers, and although there are many types of goods on the stalls, they are all normal objects.
But I thought about it again, how could a 'local tyrant' like a men's Lori who came to the black market in a luxury car, come to such a messy market?
I pretended to casually sweep the interior buildings in the garden, the aquarium, the butterfly greenhouse, the performance hall, and the ghost castle, the doors of these indoor projects were closed, but if you looked closely, you would notice that every few minutes, the surface of the doors and walls would flow an orange light.
This light should be the same one I've seen at the main entrance of the amusement park, it may be some kind of protection, with it, it doesn't even need guards.
Wandering around all the time was not an option, so I slipped up to a nearby stall and asked the boss how to sell the small bag of White Rabbit toffee hanging from the shelf.
The proprietor is at least sixty years old, and his stall is made of wooden sticks, on which hangs a row of drying racks, on which all kinds of sweets are tied.
The boss held out three fingers, and my heart tightened, thinking that they were using code words for this deal, and if I didn't understand what he meant, maybe I would leak the filling.
Three, thirty, three hundred? It can't be three thousand, right?
I guessed quickly, but before I could estimate the value of the bag of sugar, a little head popped up behind the old man, and he also compared three fingers, and said:
"Three or two meters, noodles are fine."
The owner of this little head is five or six years old, wearing a children's down jacket that is old, but not dirty or broken, but you can see that it is not very good, the face is yellow and thin, and there is no innocent romance in the eyes that belongs to children.
The child stared at me vigilantly, as if I was going to snatch their toffee and run away, is it really good to treat the guests like this?
"I didn't bring rice noodles, can I pay for other methods?" I mean this tentatively, after all, I don't know what the currency is here.
The child showed an embarrassed expression, estimating that with his calculation level, it would be difficult for a strong man to convert rice noodles into equivalent currency.
At this time, the boss patted the child's shoulder, hummed twice from his throat, and reduced his fingers to one.
The child nodded and said to me, "My father said count you a gram of gold." ”
One gram of gold...... I haven't bought anything for a long time, and my mind can't turn for a while, the price of gold before the disaster was 330 yuan a gram, and now I can only buy three or two taels of rice or white flour?
Or a small sachet of toffee, of course!
"Forget it, it's too expensive." I waved my hand, turned around and left.
Anyway, I was just pretending to be shopping to watch and wait for someone to come in and out of those indoor playgrounds, and as soon as I turned around, I felt like a living creature was grabbing the corner of my clothes.
I looked down and saw that it was the little bean ding, he had a small face, and his two eyebrows were almost twisted together, as if he had made a great decision: "A gram of silver is fine, no less." ”
I didn't have a good impression of the vendor who forced people to buy things, and my face changed instantly, and the boss hurriedly bowed down and pulled the child back to the back of the stall.
I didn't want the gloomy child to suddenly sob, hugged the boss's thigh, and cried and said, 'Grandpa, you can eat the candy.' ’
Compared to sugar, it can only be regarded as a snack, this thing can last for a period of time, but it is not hungry, unless you meet someone who has spare money and loves sweets, these candies are difficult to sell.
I rummaged through my body, and when I went to Xintaoyuan, Gu Yu and I brought some gold jewelry, and when we ransacked the gold store, a few pairs of gold earrings were so small that I casually put them in my pocket and never touched them.
Since I came, it didn't hurt to buy something, I pulled out a pair of gold stud earrings from the corner of my pocket, which should add up to two grams, I handed it to the boss, and pointed to the bag of toffee.
The boss thanked me again and again, I was not used to being treated so 'respectfully' by an elder, so I grabbed the toffee and left.
There are some things that I have understood from the beginning, that everyone suffers, and that I am not the savior of the world, and that I cannot take everyone out of the sea of suffering.
I picked up the toffee and was about to go back to give Ah Ying and them a share, but as soon as I looked up, I saw three tall men walking to the door of the performance hall.
Although I don't know where Yan Bixing and the others are being held, this performance hall is the closest indoor playground to me right now, and I have to sneak in and take a look.
The leader took out a card similar to the men's Lori, and the two cards were only different in color, and there was no obvious difference between the others.
I swiped his card to open the door and teleported in with them, and the inside of the performance hall was like a small theater, with a stage, auditorium, and VIP area on the second floor.
The three strong men walked to the auditorium on the first floor, and it seemed that they were not qualified to enter the VIP area at their level.
There is a singing and dancing show being staged on the stage at the moment, and the singing beauty looks a little familiar, as if it is a very famous innocent female singer, but the makeup is too thick, and my focus now is not her, so I didn't look closely.
The audience was also very excited, shouting, laughing, coaxing, and whistling, but this was just a warm-up before the opening, and I saw that the host on one side of the stage was already preparing, and the real show was about to start.
There are many people and there are many people, so I pretended to be looking for an empty seat and took the opportunity to eavesdrop on the conversations of these people.
Fortunately, these people are not shy about speaking, and many of them even talk loudly and analyze the current situation at home and abroad in a high voice.
Walking back and forth through the two rows of seats, I finally heard useful information, that the later show was actually an auction, and there were various types of human beings being auctioned, and because they were ordinary humans, they were displayed on a public stage without guardrails and cages.
When I heard this, I was excited, Hu Tao, Zhou Li and Li Huaiqing are all ordinary people, if there are them in the auction, I have to find a way to save them now.
The auditorium was almost full of spectators, in groups of threes and threes, or threes and fives, and I finally found a lone person, and it happened that the seat next to him was also empty.
The man was so drunk that his face was flushed, and he looked very drunk, so I sat down next to him, and casually found a topic to talk to him, and after a few conversations, I suddenly asked, "Dude, let's bring cash, you said in case someone rushes in to rob ......"
"No, no, brother, don't worry, no, if you don't swipe the card, no one will be able to get in." The man's eyes were straight, his tongue was not sharp, and he slapped me on the back and laughed.
"What about going out?" I was defenseless, and I was almost slapped on the ground by him, and I asked again when I stabilized my body.
"When you go out and go out, you don't need to swipe the card, but you have to swipe and swipe the supervisor's internal card from the inside, open the door, and don't close it."
As soon as he finished speaking, I couldn't sit still, and it seemed that I had to control the director here before saving people, so I excused myself to go to the bathroom, left the audience, and secretly moved into the backstage lounge.
But there was no one in the lounge, and I turned into the drunken man I had just made, and sneaked up on the dressing room, which was open to the door with six guards with guns pinned to their waists.
A slightly high-pitched man's voice came from inside, urging the makeup artist to hurry up and get the 'merchandise' ready, and I staggered over to the wall, only to be stopped by a guard outside the door.
"I'm sorry, only staff are allowed here."
"Damn, Lao Tzu goes to the toilet, and he also divides customers and employees?" As I spoke, I pushed him away and made a motion to kick the door.
"Sir, I'm sorry, this is not a bathroom, the bathroom is on the left hand side of the entrance door of the auction hall." The guard was apparently professionally trained, treated customers very politely, and patiently showed the way when encountering drunks.
"Get out, get out, I've been looking for a long time, and I'll pee my pants if I hold it back-" Before I finished speaking, the door of the dressing room was suddenly opened, and a man in a gray suit and a red bow tie walked out with an orchid finger.
"Yo~ Who should I be, Master Qin, there is a bathroom in the box, why did you come downstairs~~" The man had oily hair and powdered face, not to mention a beard on his face, not even a single hair, and he also applied a layer of foundation and pink-colored lip gloss.
Although he wears good makeup, he can still see that he is not young, and the foundation can't cover the lines on his forehead at the corners of his eyes.
His words made my heart tremble and goosebumps sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
"Upstairs, downstairs?" I squinted left and right, as if I couldn't open my eyes.
Seeing that I was very drunk, the man took two steps forward, glanced at the guard who had just stopped me, and said with a smile: "Qin Ye is our honored guest, Ah Rui, quickly help Qin Ye back to the box." ”
