Chapter 226: I was almost moved by you
"What's that?"
"Look at the guy in front."
Shen Yi looked at the person she was looking at through her perspective, it was a man who was squatting on the ground sharpening his knife with a stone, his face was full of flesh and his arms were bare.
Such people can be seen everywhere in the village, and it stands to reason that there is nothing strange about them.
But with Tsurumi Chuyun's gaze, Shen Yi also began to feel that he was different, and he was a little puzzled, but soon he understood why he felt different.
It's because of the tattoo on the man's back, and the thick lines are twisted like big earthworms on it.
The real underworld in this world is not those spiritual guys in the previous life, who have the habit of tattooing and pretending, because they feel that their parents will hardly tattoo messy things on their bodies, and they want to tattoo them for faith reasons or other reasons, tattooing some totems or something.
The men I saw before, who were also shirtless, were only covered in mud and dirt, but they didn't have tattoos.
"You're referring to him...... Tattoo? ”
"Hmm." Tsurumi Hatsuun nodded, but then shook his head: "When I was a child, I saw tattoos that were somewhat similar to them, and it seems that only people in Black Snake Town have them, but I'm not sure."
"Black Snake Town......" Shen Yi blinked.
"Hey, the atmosphere in this village is really similar to the rumored Black Snake Town."
"Gone."
Seeing the man looking for his gaze, Tsurumi Hatsuru hurriedly looked away and prepared to leave, but before she could open her legs, several men blocked in front of her.
The leader looked at her with a flirtatious expression and teased: "The little lady looks really delicate, did you pass the door?" If you don't go through the door, go through my door. ”
As soon as the words fell, the others behind him also burst into laughter, and the eyes of Tsurumi Hatsumo were like looking at a rabbit with nowhere to run.
Her brow furrowed, and a coldness flashed in her eyes.
"Get out of the way."
"Hehaha, she told us to get out of the way?"
"Hahahaha!"
"Little lady, what can I do with us if I don't let you?" Several men continued to tease, and Tsurumi Hatsukumo didn't speak, but his face became more and more cold, and one hand was already on the sword at his waist.
"What's wrong? Do you want to draw a sword and kill someone? Who to frighten with a sword? ”
"Heheha, it's the first time I've seen such a white little lady."
"It looks like it's still a chick, how old is it?"
"Hinata? I've never seen a chick look like in my life, have I? Come and play with a few brothers, and finish in our village, and make sure you eat fragrant and spicy drops. ”
"Shut your mouth!"
A few people, you said a word, completely ignoring Tsurumi Hatsuun's feelings, and they didn't see it, the killing intent in her eyes became more and more strong.
Eventually, the frivolous man at the head stopped them, and then looked at her hand holding the hilt of the sword, excited and impatient.
"These little hands are really beautiful, let me touch them."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed her, but in the next second, a cold light flashed, and the man only felt that his right body was empty, and then the severe pain instantly spread throughout his body, making his legs weak and he collapsed directly to the ground.
Reacting, he let out a scream like killing a pig.
"Ahh Ahhh I...... Me, I...... It's mine...... Oh my hands!! ”
"Boss!"
The brains of the remaining few people were blank, and after reacting, they immediately drew their swords to fight back, but where could they be able to defeat Tsurumi Chuyun, who was at the peak of the main rank, when they were all in the straight rank?
Before the hand could touch the handle of the knife, a few cold rays of light swept by, and in the blink of an eye, several people's arms were also gone, and they rolled and spasmed on the ground in pain.
Finally, the blade of the sword in her hand turned and pointed it at the throat of the leader.
Feeling the chill at the tip of the sword, even if he broke an arm, he didn't dare to move, gritted his teeth and held on, changed his previous attitude, showed an extremely ugly smile on his face, and begged: "Heroine spare her life!" Don't kill me! Don't kill me! It's the villain who has no eyes and offends the heroine...... Don't kill me! I was wrong. ”
Tsurumi Hatsuun looked at the other party with a cold face, but the sword in his hand did not move forward.
"It's okay if you don't kill you, answer me a few questions first."
"Yes, you can do it, if you don't kill me, I know it!"
Tsurumi Hatsukumo pondered for a moment and asked the first question.
"Who are you?"
"Huh? Hiss~" As soon as this question came out, the person was stunned at first, and then because the movement was too big, the pain from the broken arm made him gasp.
"I ...... I...... I'm not a human being! ”
Tsurumi Hatsukumo quickly realized that the question he was asking was a little strange, and after thinking about it, he lowered his voice a little.
"You're from Black Snake?"
"No, I'm from She Nanshan, and it's been less than a year since I came here." He replied truthfully, but unexpectedly, in the next second, Tsuru's voice became colder when he saw it, and a killing accident was released, which made him shiver.
"Tell me the truth."
"Don't kill me! I've already told the truth......" The man in the lead panicked, and his voice was raised several degrees, but before he could speak, he suddenly realized something, and then looked at Tsurumi Hatsuun's eyes became even more frightened and uneasy.
"You...... Is it difficult for you to be ......" There are still three words behind him that have not been said, at this moment his life is in the hands of the other party, if he says these three words, it is very life-threatening, of course, this is what he thinks.
With a turn of his mind, the man immediately changed his words and asked, "Are you looking for someone from Black Snake Town?" I can take you to find it, there are many people in the village who are from Black Snake Town, and Gongye is one of them. ”
"Who is Gongye?"
"We are a tyrant in the village, and I am doing things under his hands."
Tsurumi Chuyun shook his head slightly: "No, I just happened to pass by and come in to rest, I didn't expect to meet such a short-sighted person as you, and I happened to know the situation here." ”
"Oh...... Oh! So that's the case, hiss~ It hurts, so you can let me go now? ”
"What do you say?"
"What's the problem?"
"You're all from other places, but what about the villagers who originally lived here?"
"I don't know this, people died before I came here, those masters from Black Snake Town are all on the list of arrests, they can't get out of Jizhou, they can only live here temporarily, the original Xiubo Village has long been changed to the current Xiubo Village."
"Well, last question, do you know if there is anyone in the village who sells dry food?"
"Dry food?" There was more and more blood flowing from the broken arm, and there was no blood on the man's face, but in the face of Tsurumi Hatsuun's question, he could only answer strongly: "No, we usually raise and kill animals for meat, and no one has any dry food to sell." ”
Her brows furrowed, and seeing that the other party did not look like he was lying, she put away her sword and spat out a word with an expressionless face.
"Get out."
The man was overjoyed, holding the bleeding broken arm, and staggered and ran away, not caring about the little brother who lost his arms behind him and couldn't even stand up.
Tsurumi Hatsukumo walked a little farther away, and although she looked like a person with nothing to do on the surface, she had actually been observing the reactions of the people around her.
Reasonable and unexpected, although what had just happened attracted the attention of the people around them, no one moved, just watched quietly, and when they saw that the matter was over, they looked away one by one and went to do their own things.
Seeing that in this village, bleeding incidents like this often happen, people have become accustomed to it, and not only do they not care about it, on the contrary, they will be particularly interested in it whenever such things happen.
"This Black Snake Town is really as rumored to be."
"The folk customs are simple and black snake town."
"Uh...... The folk customs are simple? ”
"Is this simple?"
"......" No matter what, Tsurumi Hatsukumo suddenly felt a sense of relief, and she seemed to understand why some people had been so yearning for Black Snake Town before.
In a chaotic society where there is no law, no order, and no rules, people can kill if they want to kill, and everything they can have depends on how hard their fists are and how sharp their knives are, without any worries, all injuries are borne by the weakest at the bottom, and for the strong, such a world is undoubtedly fascinating.
Having said that, the place where there is no dry food in this village is a bit of a headache, and Tsurumi Hatsuun wanted to go door-to-door to ask who sells food, but after walking for a while, he suddenly saw a shop with a plaque hanging on the door of the store, which read the words "big mouthful meat".
It's clear that this is a meat and wine restaurant.
Touching his stomach and thinking about filling his stomach first, Tsurumi Hatsukumo then walked in.
This butcher's house seems to be built on the basis of a wooden shed, the area is very large, the seats and benches inside are extremely old, and the traces of swords can be seen everywhere, in addition to the smell of blood that seems to have been soaked in blood for many years and penetrated into every corner of the village, there is also a very strong smell of wine in this restaurant, mixed with the sour smell of vomit, which is simply disgusting.
There are a lot of guests among them, squatting or sitting, the posture is uninhibited, and the shouting and screaming are desperately poured into their ears, but they are all the kind of big men who do not leave the knife, and they can't see a woman at all.
"That's ...... Woman? ”
"This is white-skinned, and at first glance I thought it was from a porcelain maker's hand."
"His grandmother's, it's really a woman, when I saw the woman painted in the villain's book, I thought it was fake, but I didn't expect it to really look like this."
"Women have been playing in vain for decades, if you want to play, you should play this kind of mile, you look at that hand, it is soft to look at, mom pulls a chin, I don't know what it feels like to touch, Lao Tzu's heart is very itchy."
"Eh, you go down and step on Lao Tzu's bowl."
“……”
The surrounding chatter was almost all about her, and Tsurumi Hatsukumo turned a deaf ear to this, but the sword in his hand was held a little tighter.
The shopkeeper of the butcher restaurant looked at her in a daze, and only came back to his senses when he got closer, and asked in a strange tone, "What to eat?" ”
"What do you have here?"
"There was only meat and wine, and the rest was gone."
"Hmm." Looking around, the back kitchen was far away, and Tsurumi Hatsukumo couldn't see where she was now, and finally she withdrew her gaze and threw a bag of copper coins on the table.
"Then serve me a plate of meat."
The shopkeeper reached out and took the money bag and opened it, nodded with satisfaction, and shouted to the guy who was closing in the distance: "Two catties of rice meat!" ”
"Rice meat?"
The moment she heard the words "rice meat", Tsuru's eyes suddenly became cold, although she didn't run the rivers and lakes, she also knew that rice meat meant human flesh.
At this time, Shen Yi realized that the texture of the meat on the table of the guests in the store was extremely strange, and he hadn't thought carefully about what kind of meat it was before.
"What the hell am I ......" scolded in his heart, and Shen Yi then put the matter aside and continued to stare at the customers in the store with his senses.
It is not difficult to imagine how scarce food is here, and under the famine, it is inevitable that there will be a scene of cannibalism, not to mention that most of the people living in the village are from Black Snake Town.
Outside the consciousness space, Tsurumi Chuyun shook his head to the shopkeeper very seriously, and said word by word: I don't want rice meat. ”
"Don't want rice meat?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, looked at her deeply, and put back the bag containing the copper coins in his hand.
"If you don't want rice meat, then eat other meat, but if you want to eat other meat, this thing is indispensable." He reached out and rubbed his thumb and forefinger against her, and the meaning couldn't have been more obvious.
"What kind of meat is there besides rice?"
"Pork, horse meat, beef."
"How do you sell beef?"
"Five dollars a pound."
"......" Tsurumi Hatsuun's face was a little stunned, even though she had been mentally prepared for the fact that other meat would be very expensive, she didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Although cattle are used as labor, people are not prohibited from killing cattle and eating meat in the law of Daliang, and in normal times, a pound of beef will be sold for more than 70 yuan, and it will be sold for hundreds of yuan in special periods, and here, a pound of beef is five hanging dollars, which has increased nearly 100 times.
It's a bit of an exaggeration.
She ordered a table of good dishes in the Ju'a City Restaurant, and it would only cost five yuan.
With the amount of money she has now, if she really eats this beef, she won't be able to buy much dry food.
"A pound of beef is five taels of silver...... Old witch, you deserve to eat beef in your next life? ”
“…… Shut up and don't bother me. ”
"Hey, hey."
“……”
After hesitating for a moment, Tsurumi Hatsuun decisively gave up the beef and asked the shopkeeper of the butcher's house: "What about other meat?" ”
"Horse meat costs a pound for three hangings, and pork hangs a pound for a catty."
"Then give me a pound of pork."
"This ...... You know what I mean. The shopkeeper stretched out his hand, and Tsurumi Hatsumo silently took out a silver coin and put it on it.
The shopkeeper took it and played it, listening to the crisp sound, and couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't seen this thing for a few days." ”
After speaking, he looked at Tsurumi Hatsuun: "Just find a place to sit, and I'll serve you food in a while, by the way, do you want to drink?" ”
"Don't."
"Okay."
……
After that, Tsurumi Hatsuun found a place where there were relatively few people and sat down, took out the nameless book and read it, and not long after, the shop guy came with a plate full of meat, and after the meat was placed on the table, the shop guy's eyes stayed on her for a while, until Tsurumi Hatsuun also looked at him and then left a little reluctantly.
After checking the meat on the plate and making sure that it was serious pork, Tsurumi Hatsuun began to move his chopsticks.
But she stopped after eating less than a quarter, and it was obvious that this plate of meat was not tasty, and in her feelings, the pork was simply boiled in water, cut into slices and served, without any seasoning, and it tasted earthy.
"Why don't you eat it?"
"The rest is for you."
"Ouch, I was almost touched by you, but...... I don't eat it. ”
