When Li Le heard this, his complexion did not change much, but his eyes were crooked, and he looked at the old man and smiled: "... It's just that Brother Bai asked me to do me a favor by the way, I have the courage or something, and I always learned a little from Brother Bai..."

Li Le said, without giving in between his words, and he should be extremely calm.

It's not a virtue to keep a low profile in this place... Strength and deterrence are more likely to be recognized and respected in this world.

This is the conclusion that Li Le has come to through his observations these days.

Sure enough, hearing Li Le's words, Lie's performance was as it should be, and the appreciation in the old man's eyes became even stronger.

The old man picked up the dry tobacco stick again, and slowly walked behind the half-human-high, wood-made counter, and smoked the dry tobacco twice, before he said angrily:

“… Anyway, what did the white boy ask you to come over..."

The tone was a little rusty compared to the last time Brother Bai brought her here.

Li Le didn't care, after all, how kind is this old man? That's also knowing Brother Bai, not knowing her, this attitude is normal.

I'm afraid it's the anxiety just now, it's not for them, but for Brother Bai: after all, a sister who has just recognized, if something happens, Brother Bai will also be responsible, right?

It is indeed rare for someone like Brother Bai to be sincere to her and treat her as a sister... I don't know what kind of good luck I had, Li Le sighed in his heart again and rejoiced.

The thoughts in my heart turned a thousand times, but there was still a smile on my face, and I looked at the old man in front of me and smiled: "It's just to exchange for some witch medicine." ”

When the old man heard this, he also figured out in his heart, he knocked on the counter with a dry tobacco stick, groaned, looked at them and said, "... I probably know, old man, counting the days, it should indeed be these two days... Pay with one hand, deliver with the other... Three silver coins are yours. ”

Li Le breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: When he came here, Brother Bai didn't say anything, if this old man didn't speak, she really wouldn't be able to speak—what if she was seen to be false and real, what if she was blackmailed at that time?

Although the old man in front of him doesn't look like such a person, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if.

Li Le rolled his hand into his sleeve without moving, took out three silver coins, handed them over with a smile, and said, "Of course, Brother Bai specially told me that you can't miss a copper coin!" ”

Hearing this, the folds on the old man's face stretched a little, took the silver coin, and said with satisfaction: "... That's what the white boy is good about... Never in debt... It's not like 'brute' stuff that doesn't do people... Hmph..."

With a sneer, the old man flipped his hand, and as if by a trick, the silver coins disappeared without a trace, and then he stretched out his hand, took a wooden box from under the counter, put it on the table, and began to smoke it again.

I didn't even enter the small wooden door, so it can be seen that I have been preparing for a long time.

Li Le turned his head to look at Lie, stuffed the box into Lie's arms, and said seriously: "Lie, you go out for a while first, Sister Ah has something to say alone... I promise... It'll be fine in a while. ”

Lie glanced at the old man, then at Li Le, knowing that he couldn't change Li Le's mind, then bent his dark eyes and showed a harmless smile:

"Sister, then I'll wait for you outside the door, if you don't come out, I'll go find my brother!"

Li Le smiled and said, "I promise... Come out right away. ”

……

"Sister, you're out!" Lie watched Li Le walk out of the tattered 'barter hall', and his eyes lit up.

Li Le pinched the dark gray potion bottle in his arms, and was pondering, when he heard Lie's voice, his eyebrows relaxed, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"What's the matter? Your sister, can I still come out? ”

Lie held the small wooden box, smiled, and didn't make a sound, but looked Li Le up and down, and was relieved to see that she was safe and sound.

Li Le didn't pierce it, just put on his hood and said with a smile: "Let's go, Lie, the market should start now, you said you've been here many times... Then let's introduce it to my sister. ”

When Lie heard Li Le's words, his spirit was shocked, and he said angrily: "... Okay, sister... Don't worry, I'm familiar with this place..."

"When my father was away, I often ran away secretly... Ahem... Leaving home to come here to play. ”

"In short, Sister, don't worry, this small public area... With me, no one will embarrass you..."

Lie swore to speak, but his dark eyes hid a bit of emptiness: accidentally, he almost missed his mouth...

Fortunately, Sister Ah didn't hear it, if this reached Father's ears, he wouldn't have broken his legs...

A smile flashed in Li Le's eyes, she listened sideways and knew what was going on, but considering the young man's self-esteem, she also pretended not to hear it, and followed Lie towards the market.

……

The outermost part of Cloud City is a tall wall that is more symbolic than practical: because what shelters the fog people is not the wall that firmly surrounds Cloud City, but the lighthouse in the middle that exudes soft light all the time.

The inner city of Cloud City is actually only roughly divided into 13 areas, and the geographical division between it and the outer city is not so clear.

After all, occasionally some strong people go to live in the outer city, and there are also some weak people who temporarily live in the inner city for various reasons, providing labor for the strong and potential minors in the inner city.

It is because of this mobility that the bazaar was born, and it is located at the boundary between the inner city and the outer city.

It's not that there is no place for trading between the inner city and the outer city, but it is just a place where the inner and outer city meet, and there are more people coming and going, more things, and a larger scale, and over time it is also called a bazaar.
