……

Inside Cloud City.

When the grim man came back to his senses.

He was already carrying a large bag of things in his hand, and with Li Le behind him, he was walking on the way back to his wooden house.

Grim man: "......"

Li Le held the coat wrapped in mushrooms, the stirring emotions receded like a tide, calmness and reason regained the high ground in her mind, and she subconsciously observed this strange world carefully.

As soon as she entered the city gate and stepped into the periphery of Cloud City, she felt the light she had not seen for a long time, the light was yellowish, radiating from the tallest tower in the center of the city, soft and bright, sheltering this side of Cloud City.

And under this light, there are some shops, people coming and going, and they look normal:

- If you ignore the strange things they have on their hands or in the store.

Li Le's ears focused on the maximum and wanted to know something:

For example, why is she, an 18-year-old, treated as if she is a minor?

She then found that 'Goli' appeared most frequently in the mouths of the residents, and was often associated with the word 'adult'.

"Brother Bai, what is 'Goli'?" Li Le didn't beat around the bush, and asked the cold man directly.

The cold man glanced at Li Le, and quickly replied: "You are still young, maybe the people in your family didn't have time to tell you..."

"'Goli' is a coming-of-age ceremony performed by the cub at the age of 19...... Only after passing through the 'Goli' can you truly become a living force within the force and participate in the battle and the distribution of spoils. ”

Li Le immediately solved his doubts, but then asked again: "Brother, what exactly does 'Goli' mean?" ”

Just now, the cold man took her to register at the gate of the city and became her 'guardian' Brother Bai, Li Le also knew that he finally knew that the man's name was Bai Ye, and he had a little more trust in him.

Bai Ye's jawline was tense, his face became more solemn, and he turned his head to Li Le and said:

"Little children don't ask so much... Now I'll take you to deal with the mushrooms first, and I'll take you back to the wooden house later..."

Li Le was stunned, she didn't expect Bai Ye to be so evasive about this question, but she didn't get too entangled, no, she had to ask other people, she would have to know sooner or later.

Shiraba seems to be familiar with every street here.

He took Li Le into a strange shop in a strange way:

- There are three walls and three rows of shelves in this store, two rows are empty, and one row of shelves is covered with black cloth, and only the general outline of the items displayed on it can be seen.

In addition, there is a small, black wooden door in the corner of the wall opposite the store.

Li Le saw Bai Ye familiarly stepping into the store, and shouted at the small door inside the store:

"It's coming!"

With the sound of white leaves, the small wooden door was pushed open with a 'squeak', and out came an old man with a long beard smoking a dry cigarette and his eyes full of satisfaction.

As the old man came out, he smiled and said, "... Dealing with the goods again? ”

Bai Ye saw the old man smiling at him, his face relaxed, and said:

"Yes. I've saved a lot these days, and I'm thinking of taking it out and cashing it out at once..."

The old man took a puff of dry cigarette, his eyes lit up, and he said strangely: "Oh? You say that, that seems like a lot..."

Bai Ye didn't speak, glanced at Li Le, and motioned for her to open the baggage.

Li Le also understood, and he was extremely knowledgeable and neatly ripped off the package and put it on the counter.

When the old man saw Li Le, he was happy, and said to Bai Ye: "Where are you kidnapping a kid?" You haven't gotten a 'goli' yet, are you? ”

Bai Ye made a face and said to the old man, "This is my sister." ”

The old man was even happier: "I don't know about you yet... I grew up eating a hundred family meals, and I don't have any brothers and sisters, where did I have such an older sister? ”

Bai Ye was not annoyed, looked at the old man and said stubbornly: "I just recognized it." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said with a flash of inspiration: "... Are you serious... Wait, are you her 'guardian'? …”

Shiraha nodded expressionlessly, but his eyes seemed to be saying 'nonsense'.

The old man laughed angrily at this moment, put down the dry tobacco in his hand, began to unwrap it, and said with words in his mouth:

"Hey, old man, I'm too lazy to care about you today, but I want to see what you brought this time...... West?!! ”

The old man started quickly, and before he finished speaking, he completely unfolded the burden, and then looked at the large pile of mushrooms, and his voice was a little distorted:

"Are you living in the depths of the Dead Mist? How did you get so many 'life and death mushrooms'!? ”

The cold man said calmly: "I said, this is what I saved slowly." ”

Old man: "......"

What about the crooks?

Did you save this fresh 'life and death mushroom' with the same color?

You can save the old man's head for you to kick!

You don't have to make a draft when you lie!

The old man rolled his eyes, picked up the dry cigarette again, took two puffs, and said to Bai Ye:

"Come on, old man, I won't tell you that... Just take it easy, and don't let me see you in that pile of dead people! ”

"And... These things—" The old man glanced at the mushrooms in his coat and said directly, "4 gold coins and 45 silver coins." ”

Shiraba nodded.

The old man's eyes were honest, very poisonous, and at a glance, they were not far from his estimated price.

The man then spoke: "Exchange one of the silver coins for 100 copper coins and find me." ”

The old man didn't say anything, knocked on the counter with his dry tobacco stick, and then picked up the mushrooms and went into the small wooden door of the inner room.

After a while, the old man came out with a small, tightly tied cloth bag.

"No... Take it..."

The old man angrily threw the cloth bag to Shiraba.

Li Le had been listening quietly beside him, and heard the sound of the cloth bag breaking in the air—it sounded a little heavy.

But the old man casually threw it over, and Bai Ye took it with one hand as if he was fine.

His eyebrows stretched for a moment, and then he said:

“… It's done, then I'll go first..."

As he spoke, Bai Ye turned his head to look at Li Le, motioned for her to follow, and walked out of the store without looking back.

Li Le followed behind, and then heard the sound of the old man blowing his beard and glaring from behind him:

“… This stinky temper... Let's go... Old men are not uncommon..."

When she walked out of the shop, she turned her head to look and saw a black plaque hanging on the top of the shop.

There are several words on the plaque that appear to be 'Barter'......

Why do you say suspicious?

Because the "day" on the "Yi" is missing a horizontal, the "cow" on the left side of the "thing" is missing the left side, and the last word "Tang" is simply half off......

The corners of Li Le's mouth twitched, he really didn't expect the plaque of this store to be so chic......
