Chapter 49: Rift Valley City
"To say that this Rift Valley City is not big, but it is really lively, but the people here dress up and do things more publicly," Chen Zijing secretly looked at the people here and thought secretly in his heart.
Rift Valley City is very close to Anhui City, but the architectural style is very different, Rift Valley City uses mountain stones as the main building materials, and the buildings in the city appear magnificent and solid, while Anhui City is mostly wooden structure, and it is more like a small bridge and flowing water, which is extremely emotional, but it cannot be said who is better, it can only be said that each has its own strengths.
Old man Wang interrupted Chen Zijing, who was looking around curiously, and said: "Little Brother Chen, be careful, there are too many martial artists here, you are likely to provoke taboos if you look at it like this, let's go to the hungry ghost area first, it is a gathering area for mortals, we are not martial artists, we always stay in a place where martial artists are mixed, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no forks after a long time." ”
"Okay, old man Wang, you can lead the way. Chen Zijing readily agreed.
But he shook his head secretly in his heart, and said with emotion: "This mortal life is really undignified, everything is so cautious" Then, the two of them pushed the broken vegetable cart and slowly walked towards the mortal area in the city.
True to its name, the Hungry Ghost District is not just a place where mortals gather, but also a place where the poor are everywhere, and dragons and snakes are mixed.
"Get out of here! Break your legs in Uncle's shop!"
I saw a lame middle-aged man who was asking for food here, who was kicked out by the shopkeeper of a small tea shop, and the shopkeeper was still scolding when he kicked it out.
Chen Zijing looked at the person who asked for food and showed sympathy, but after a while, the lame person who was asking for food came back to this place with a night pot, and then threw it into the tea shop! I only heard a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the tea shop! Then he ran away like a wind! The speed of running was not much worse than that of a normal person!
"Don't let me catch you, or I'll kill you!!"
I saw the shopkeeper of the tea shop rushing out with a sharp knife in his hand, and then looked around, where was there still a little figure at this time?
Chen Zijing almost turned his back on laughter when he saw this scene from a distance! The chaos here is chaos, but it is also very lively, and anything and anyone can encounter it.
Of course, where there are people, there will be exploitation, the forces here are mixed, it is not easy to earn a living, to earn some chewing grain, ordinary men often sell their souls and dignity for life, women can only sell their bodies, let those rich people play with applause.
"Brother Chen, this is the hungry ghost area, you said that your path was lost, let's be with Xiao Lao'er for now, after all, you are not familiar with life here. Old man Wang is very kind-hearted, and Chen Zijing was also very moved along the way, people's simple reflection is in the little bit of life speech, not just pretending to be casual.
Chen Zijing is a person with clear grievances, he will repay if others treat him well, and he will never show mercy if others treat him badly.
"If this intelligence investigation is smooth, we must find a way to promote Wang Laohan in the future!" Chen Zijing secretly decided.
Not long after Chen Zijing and Wang Laohan entered the hungry ghost area, a sharp shout and curse rang out!
"Old man Wang, the Yuanjing that I owed last time has a total of three yuan with interest, hurry up and pay it back!" I saw a thin and tall woman who recognized Wang Laohan at a glance from the corner of the street in the distance, and immediately stood up and ran to the front with her waist crossed and scolded.
"That's what my unfilial son owes, and I didn't borrow it," replied the old man Wang.
The tall and thin woman's eyebrows immediately stood up! She shouted: "Your son doesn't pay off his debts! You can stay out of the way! Seeing that you are not young, you were actually thrown away by the son of the family! There is no shame in raising any son!"
Just as she was scolding, the shrew saw three black things flying towards her in front of her!
"Oops!" the shrew squatted on the ground with a suffocation!
I saw Chen Zijing gently dusting her hands at this time, and muttered, "It's much quieter."
It turned out that he saw this shrew-like woman scolding endlessly, and he had to ask Wang Laohan for something three yuan crystals, and his brain hurt when he quarreled, so he simply turned out three yuan crystals in his hand and threw them all directly in the other party's face!
"Bastard!"
The woman didn't see what hit her, but she immediately roared angrily, but Chen Zijing's cold eyes made the woman immediately swallow back the words she was about to say.
When she saw the translucent Yuan Jing on the ground, her eyes suddenly lit up, she knew Wang Laohan's condition, she didn't expect to be able to pay it back, and scolding people was nothing more than relieving the sullenness in her heart.
"Oh, three pieces of Yuan Jing! Old man Wang has found a relative? Say it earlier! Since this is the case, I won't bother the two of you!"
The shrew held Yuan Jing in her hand, her face was completely different from before, the corners of her mouth were grinning to the back of her ears, her eyes were narrowed into a slit, and the wrinkles on her face were about to fold into a thousand layers!
"Little brother, you have done me a big favor this time, but how can I pay you back" The old man looked at Chen Zijing in embarrassment, his dark hand scratched the back of his head, and he was anxious for a while.
Chen Zijing waved her hand with a smile and replied, "You have helped me a lot, and I want to thank you." ”
Seeing that Wang Laohan wanted to say more, Chen Zijing immediately showed a displeased look, he quickly closed his mouth when he saw this, and didn't dare to say more words of thanks, but when he looked at Chen Zijing, there were faint tears flashing in the corners of his eyes
"Datong shop has five copper plates for one night! Ten single rooms! Pay the bill first and then stay in the hotel!" In a remote and dilapidated hotel, the shopkeeper was lazily shouting, yawning in his mouth, and he didn't even bother to raise his head in the face of customers like Chen Zijing and Wang Laohan, who looked poor.
This kind of broken hotel is to entertain the lowest level of merchants, these bitter haha people are usually hungry and full, and it is common for them to be unable to pay the bills, so now the store is also shrewd, and they will pay off the bills first and then live in the hotel, and they will not owe credit!
"Come to two private rooms!" Chen Zijing reached out without hesitation to take out the money.
"Little brother, this can't be! I used to sell a cart of vegetables to earn a few yuan crystals, but you spent most of it this time, where do I dare to live!"
The old man knew that Chen Zijing was rich, but he was used to being poor, and when he saw that Chen Zijing had asked for a room for him, he immediately felt a pain! This room is about to catch up with the profit from selling vegetables for several days before!
Looking at Wang Laohan's painful eyes, Chen Zijing was a little unbearable, and sighed secretly: "Since this is the case, let's have two shops!"
The expression in the eyes of the shopkeeper suddenly turned cold! He snorted coldly and said, "Room C! Find a bunk to sleep in!"
After paying for the room, the two of them went out first to pull out the fresh vegetables and sell them, and this time they actually sold more than half of them! Due to the increase in the cost of entering the city, the price of vegetables also increased, and the two were busy until dark.
In this process, Chen Zijing began to take the opportunity to inquire about various news, although he did not get any really valuable information, but he still took the opportunity to get some clues, and at the same time he had a better understanding of the situation in the entire Rift City.
The black night sky was sprinkled with stars, and every house began to shut out its lights, except for a few places where warblers and swallows were hiding dirt, and the streets of Rift Valley were quiet at this time.
At this time, in the Yihong Courtyard, the largest one in the city called "Yixianglou", a fat man in black staggered out, followed by two girls in thin skirts, the two girls obviously looked good, their voices were delicate, and they snuggled up to the fat man in black on the left and right.
One of the white-skinned and round-looking women snorted at the fat man in black: "Brother will come to patronize in the future, if you don't come, my sister will miss you" After that, her lips gently pressed to the fat man's ear, exhaling like an orchid.
Seeing this, the other woman also stuck up like a snake, and the two of them made the fat man in black itch all over his body, and slapped their buttocks boldly!
After hearing this, the fat man in black laughed and said, "Hahaha! Don't worry! How about I only order you two every time I come in the future?"
It took a little toss for half a moment before it was over.
Leaving the two pretty Yingyan, the fat man in black staggered into an alley, still burping with wine in his mouth, and obviously drank a lot this time.
"What's the fog? Ahem, this doesn't seem to be fog."
The fat man in black drank too much, and suddenly a white mist sprinkled in front of his eyes, he didn't react, and fainted directly.
"Hehe, the ecstasy in the market is really effective, starting with you, hoping to get useful news. A thin figure stood beside the fat man lying on the ground, looked at the dead pig-like guy with a smile, and muttered in his mouth.
This person is none other than Chen Zijing, the fat man on the ground is nicknamed Meat Toutuo, he is a small leader of the Blood Ghost Sect in Fractured Bone City, he doesn't have much ability, but he is good at slapping horses, so he is extremely appreciated by an elder in the middle level of the Blood Ghost Sect.
"This soul-searching technique is really useful, although it may hurt the soul, but only this method can ensure that the gods can unknowingly get out the information," Chen Zijing grabbed the top of the head of the fat man in black at this time, and muttered silently in his mouth.
The Soul Searching Technique is a technique recorded on the Nine Turns Blood Demon Skill that Chen Zijing first discovered in the Netherworld, which originated from the Demon Dao Technique, but there are no special requirements for using it, although it is not proficient in using it this time, it has a slight effect.
"The Young Sect Master of the Blood Ghost Sect personally came to supervise the formation, what kind of formation?" Chen Zijing didn't get any more information, obviously this person didn't know too much.
"This so-called young sect master came in person, I think there must be something important to do, but unfortunately I didn't get clearer information" Chen Zijing finished thinking, carried the body of the meat head to the back wall of Yihong Courtyard, and then quickly left.
