"I said boss, your attitude is not right, how can you treat customers like this?"

The stall owner was speechless for a while, and finally sighed: "Please forgive me, it's my wrong attitude." This red wheel flower is used to make tea, which can clear heat and detoxify, do you want it? If you don't want to, please check out the other stalls. ”

Ma Xiaoniu became interested instead, and continued to ask: "Boss, I think you seem to have something to worry about?" Why don't you hear it, maybe I can help you? ”

The stall owner rolled his eyelids, shook his head and said, "You're not a local, are you?" ”

"I'm passing through here."

"That's not surprising. Guest, you might as well go to other booths and have a look. Alas! ”

Ma Xiaoniu was about to ask again, when a team of soldiers wearing yellow soft armor appeared at the end of the street, and the stall owner's face changed, and he whispered: "Guest officer, please don't ask again!" ”

Ma Xiaoniu turned his head to look at the group of soldiers, and did not ask again, but picked up another plant next to him to look at it. Soon the group of soldiers approached.

"Stop!"

The leader waved his hand, and the team stopped.

"Yo? Old Song Tou, there are customers? ”

The stall owner known as Lao Song Tou hurriedly got up, with flattery on his face: "Official, what about the inspection?" After speaking, he took out a silver star coin from his pocket and handed it to the leading soldier, "The official has worked hard!" Take it and have a cup of tea! ”

The leader Ding shook the silver star coin in his hand and said with satisfaction: "Well, it's good, it's good." Yan Bi glanced at Ma Xiaoniu, who was squatting, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "You! Stand up! ”

Ma Xiaoniu stood up and said with a smile: "Official, is there something?" ”

The leading soldier looked Ma Xiaoniu up and down: "I know all the people in Tongming Town, but I haven't seen you, are you someone outside?" ”

"Yes, I'm passing through here."

The leading soldier stretched out his finger and buckled a piece of boogue, bounced off, and said with a smile: "Do we know the rules here?" ”

Ma Maverick was stunned, rules? What rules?

A small soldier next to him shouted, "I don't know this? To enter my Tongming Town, you must pay the entrance fee first! The leading soldier sneered on the side.

"And the entrance fee? I don't know about that! Ma Xiaoniu sneered in his heart, fuck it, knock it on his grandfather, it's really special......

"So you know now, right?! Pay the money! Five Silver Star Coins! The soldier stepped forward and stretched out his hand in front of the horse. The leading soldier was still sneering, but the stall owner was gray and uncertain.

Ma Xiaoniu laughed for a while: "I don't have Silver Star Coins." The leader Ding's face froze, and then his face was full of malice, and he waved his hand. Suddenly, the remaining three soldiers surrounded Ma Xiaoniu, and the Pu knife in his hand pointed directly at Ma Xiaoniu.

"Oops! There's something to say, there's something to say, official! The stall owner was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, and at the same time, the stall owner gritted his teeth and took out a silver star coin from his pocket and stuffed it into the hand of the leading soldier. The leading soldier looked at the silver star coin in his hand, then put it in his pocket, and then pushed the stall owner aside, hehe sneered: "I didn't expect it, old Song Tou!" You still have money? I'll go back to your house! ”

The stall owner was pushed aside, his face turned gray when he heard the words, and he sat down to the ground with a bang, his lips trembling but he couldn't speak.

The rest of the street vendors secretly packed up their belongings and disappeared silently.

Ma Xiaoniu was angry in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "Don't worry, sir, I don't have Silver Star Coins, but I have Venus Coins!" ”

"Venus Coins?!" The leading soldier Ding's face was stunned, what is the concept of Venus coins? One Gold Star Coin is a hundred Silver Star Coins, which is enough for an ordinary family to spend for a year! And although he is rampant on the streets, these vendors are all very poor, and they can't collect a few dollars on a street, not to mention that there are many leaders above him, so this amount of money is not enough at all!

"Hey, hey, hey, that's good, then hand over your Venus Coins!"

Ma Xiaoniu stretched out his hand in his pocket, and took out a bulging Venus coin, and the light of the Venus coin was even transmitted through the rough fabric, and as Ma Xiaoniu's hand shook slightly, the Venus coin made a jingling crisp sound.

"Wow~" The saliva of several soldiers was about to flow out, and the leading soldiers shot a greedy look in their eyes, and they reached out to grab it, but they caught it empty.

"Huh? Hehe, I advise you to hand it over quickly, otherwise it will ......" The leading soldier's eyes were full of fierce light and malice.

"Then it's up to you to be faster!" Ma Xiaoniu shook his hand and threw a bag of Venus coins into the grass on the side of the road, where can a few soldiers care about their faces at the moment, greedy tendencies They pounced like hungry wolves, after a big mess, the bag containing Venus coins was torn, and several soldiers each grabbed a handful, sat in the grass and laughed.

But Ma Xiaoniu and the stall owner next to him suddenly turned black, especially the stall owner, who ran to the side and vomited. Because in his opinion, what those soldiers were holding was a Venus coin, but a special M Tiangong! Ma Xiaoniu also regretted it a little, fuck it, how did you make them M Tian Gong with a brain just now, now it's okay, I'm sick to death.

Ma Xiaoniu stretched out his hand and pointed, and several soldiers who were laughing suddenly stopped, and the leading soldier looked at the original golden Venus coin in his hand suddenly turned into a lump of yellow-green dilute semi-liquid, and the pungent smell rushed into his nostrils, and the leading soldier screamed, shook his hands wildly, and then lay on the grass and vomited wildly. Several of the other soldiers also noticed the change in their hands almost at the same time, each letting out a miserable cry and vomiting.

The stall owner finally recovered his strength, and when he turned his head, his stomach was overturned, and a stream of hot things gushed out from his stomach to his throat.

Ma Xiaoniu's face was pale green, as if he had been poisoned. Hurry up your pace, and a puff of smoke turns around the corner and disappears without a trace. After walking far, Ma Xiaoniu relieved himself, and in particular, he was playing tricks on others, but he almost put himself in.

Vomit~ It's so disgusting!

The streets of Tongming Town are quite long, and in Ma Xiaoniu's opinion, the entire Tongming Town is about the size of a county-level city on the earth. But in such a large town, the streets are sparsely populated, and even some shops on the side of the road are mostly closed, and the wind blows the autumn leaves rolling on the road, which looks very depressed.

Thinking of the faces of those soldiers just now, Ma Xiaoniu probably guessed the reason. It is nothing more than the oppression of the soldiers, the ingenuity and robbery, and the common people suffer deeply, so they can not go out if they don't go out.

After walking a short distance, Ma Xiaoniu saw that there was a shop on the side of the road with the door ajar, so he walked in a few steps, and when he entered the door, he found that the store had a large internal space and many shelves, but the shelves were empty, and only sporadic goods were placed there. Behind the counter sat an old man dressed in black, with his eyes closed and a strange red pattern on his face.

"Shopkeeper, your store is empty, it's time to get some goods."

Ma Xiaoniu was also not polite, and when he saw a stool next to him, he sat straight up and rested. The old man in black opened his eyes, revealing the green vertical pupils in his eyes, the old man looked at the sitting Ma Xiaoniu, and sighed with a blank face: "Guest officer, there are no goods in my store, you can go to other stores to take a look." ”

Ma Xiaoniu didn't move at all, looked at the boss and smiled: "Shopkeeper, I'm a foreigner, passing through here." I found the atmosphere in the town to be very strange, and most of the shops are not open, what is the reason? ”

The old man in black didn't even open his eyes, but whispered: "It's useless, it's useless......"

"To tell you the truth, I'm also a spiritual cultivator. I think I can help a little if possible. After Ma Xiaoniu finished speaking, a golden mark appeared out of thin air in the center of his eyebrows.

When the old man heard this, his body shook, and finally opened his eyes again, looking at the golden mark on Ma Xiaoniu's eyebrows, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly stood up and bowed: "The old man doesn't know the identity of the adult, I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

Spiritual cultivators are very scarce and have a very high status. Ma Maverick has known this for a long time.

Ma Xiaoniu nodded indifferently: "You sit down, now, can you tell me about the situation in the town?" ”

The old man hurriedly walked to the front of the store, slammed the door shut, inserted the arm-thick wooden latch from the inside, turned back and sat down, checked the mark of Ma Xiaoniu's eyebrows again, and only then sighed after confirming that it was correct: "My lord! Truth be told, our town wasn't like that. The old man's eyes were misty, as if he remembered the past, "Although our town was not particularly prosperous and lively before, the people in the town have their own affairs, and although they work hard every day, they can at least have something to eat." The whole town is happy and peaceful, and everyone respects and loves each other. The old man's voice paused, and a resentful expression appeared on his face, "But since the Wang brothers killed Mayor Jin Biao by despicable means and seized this Tongming Town, the environment of the entire town has changed, and the original happiness and peace have completely disappeared. The old man's face was sad, "I have been running this shop all my life, and the store is the lifeblood of our family. That's it, I'm still good, at least there is a stutter, and most of the people in the town are not so lucky, they have starved to death a lot, and if this continues, I'm afraid that the entire Tongming Town will become an empty city sooner or later! ”

"Didn't you even think about running away?" The horse calf was surprised.

"Escape?" The old man smiled bitterly, "If you can escape, this town would have escaped a long time ago, where will you wait until now?" The old man gritted his teeth, "The Wang brothers are very vicious, when they first took over the town, many people escaped, but they were caught, they made a large cauldron in the center of the town, filled it with hot oil, and then threw those who escaped into the pot one by one and fried it!" Since then, no one has dared to run! ”
