Chapter 10: Snap
On this day, Bai Xiao left Xinhu Restaurant early in the morning and went all the way to the south of the city.
Although the check-out time was in the afternoon of the next day - he actually took up Qingyue's time last night - and with the price he paid, leaving for an extra second would mean a huge loss. But Bai Xiao still walked without hesitation.
There are two reasons, one is that he is really not used to eating the food in the restaurant. The chefs at Xinhu are very fond of putting endless ideas in a limited number of dishes, and almost every bite of each dish allows diners to taste several or even a dozen distinct and perfectly matched flavors.
However, this ingenuity and aura are completely small in the south in the eyes of the snow mountain hunters. In the tribe, only the old people who are old and frail and whose appetite has declined will pursue the delicacy of food, and the young hunters are proud of their food, and eating more is always more worthy of boasting than eating well, and Bai Xiao, as the son of the leader, is a genius hunter, and his appetite is naturally undoubted, and he has always eaten proudly, and the dozen or so exquisite side dishes in Xinhu Restaurant are more like hospice care for the dying old man in his opinion.
For this problem, the solution given by the restaurant is to recommend him to go to the civilian restaurant in the south of the city, where most of the service objects are manual laborers, and the food is naturally heavy and large, which is most suitable for a wild man from the mountains like Bai Xiao.
Second, the interrupted number laboratory temporarily resided during the sprint period of Qingyue exam preparation is in Nancheng.
Many people don't understand why the famous Great Grandmaster of the Apocalypse would set up his most important Demon Dao Laboratory in the south of Hongshan City, where civilians gather, instead of the east and north of the city, where the Demon Daoists live. Zhu Junshen himself has never explained this, so that rumors have come out in the rivers and lakes, some people say that the great grandmaster is from a civilian background, so he has a soft spot for the civilian area, and some people say that the people in Nancheng are cheap, and the gangs are mixed, so the great grandmaster has always been doing cruel human experiments here, but this does not prevent the civilians of Nancheng from treating the hemispherical building as an important idol totem, and there will be pious civilians to pray at every moment, hoping that their children can be blessed by the ancestor of the Demon Dao, obtain the power of the Demon Dao, and ascend to the sky one step at a timeγ And when it came to the examination period of Hongshan College, there was a sea of people outside the laboratory, and it was crowded.
Bai Xiao went all the way to the south, once again lamenting the large population in the south, and at the same time, not far behind Bai Xiao, several sneaky figures were also eager to try.
ββ
"He actually came out!?" The sturdy man from the Nancheng Snake Gang looked at the beast-skin savage with some incredulity, and then looked at the leader Snake Lord beside him with even more reverence.
The snake master sneered: "Of course he will come, he has chased Qingyue all the way from the Snow Mountain to the Red Mountain City, how can there be any reason not to continue to follow?" As long as he waits outside the Great Grandmaster's laboratory, he will definitely be able to wait for him, but I didn't expect him to come so quickly...... Xiaoqing, are you ready?"
Beside her, a slender girl nodded a little nervously.
The snake master said again: "Don't be nervous, this is Nancheng, it's our territory." β
Xiaoqing nodded again, but she still couldn't stop.
The leader was right, there was really nothing to be nervous about, all she had to do was walk over to her, rub shoulders with the snowy mountain savage, and then take advantage of the situation and fall to the ground, causing a riot...... It's as simple as that.
And this is indeed her specialty, as a senior cadre "Nobuko" who is second only to the leader of the snake gang, she is one of the very few women who occupy a high position without relying on her appearance. Xiaoqing, who was born in the troupe since she was a child, has honed her muscles and bones in the most cruel way, so she seems to be slender and petite, but she has incredible physical flexibility and control, and this unique qualification makes her both good at assassination and good at touching porcelain.
With just a trivial brush, the girl can immediately simulate a serious injury and fall to the ground, and she can even control the free dislocation of her joints. And although she is from a gang, she has an extremely rare pure temperament among gang members, so once she causes a riot, it is easy to win the support of the audience. Prior to this, she had successfully touched many wealthy families, and easily earned wealth that was difficult for others to achieve.
Now if you have to deal with a snow-capped savage who already has a good reputation, wouldn't it be easy to capture?
But the more he waited for the wild man to get closer, the more Xiaoqing's body trembled, and he could barely take a step, as if his body's instinct was resisting the order.
The snake master frowned: "What's the matter?"
"Yes, I'm sorry Lord Snake, I don't know, but I ......" Xiaoqing almost cried.
The snake master shook his head: "Forget it, I'll do it myself." β
After speaking, the snake master straightened his spine, lifted the cloak to reveal his slightly immature true face, and in an instant, a dark character like a gutter rat was full of sunshine, and the snake gang members who faced the opposite party simply felt suffocated, this face was really difficult to associate with the ninth-rate gang people.
In Nancheng, the essence of touching porcelain is not to be shameless or stalking, but to win the sympathy of the audience, as long as the surrounding spectators think you are reasonable, you will be justified. And the most simple criterion for the spectators is to look at the face.
People who are good-looking and have a good spiritual temperament are naturally easy to arouse the sympathy of visitors. On the other hand, a sloppy and dirty-clothed skinny man ran to touch porcelain, and then rolled in the street, only to be rushed up and trampled by the spectators who had lost their appetite. And this is also the reason why Xiaoqing's previous porcelain touching can be invincible, as long as people see the pretty face of pear blossoms with rain, it seems to see the truth and justice in the world.
And the leader of the Serpent Gang, after lifting the cloak, also has the appearance of truth and justice. He looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, at the dividing line between youth and youth, of medium stature, slightly thin, full of books, and with fine features. Although he is a man, he has some soft temperament that I see pity, and the ruthless and scheming snake master are simply the two extremes of light and darkness!
The young man of Wenxiu walked towards Bai Xiao head-on, and read it carefully with a copy of "Introduction to the Demon Dao" in his hand, sometimes frowning and pondering, and sometimes reciting words in his mouth.
In Hongshan City, such young people are the most common nowadays, and most of the tens of thousands of candidates who pour into the city during the exam period are in this way!
"Awesome!"
Xiaoqing watched from a short distance, and her eyes couldn't help but froze.
The layman looks at the liveliness, the insider looks at the doorway, Xiaoqing, as an expert in the porcelain industry, can see at a glance that his boss is definitely a good hand at this way, this flawless dress aside, just from his position can get a glimpse of the depth of his skills.
Although he and Bai Xiao walked in the opposite direction, the parallel distance left a gap of one person, which seemed unrelated. But if he continued to walk, Bai Xiao would step inward after five steps to avoid the vendors on the side of the road, and at this time, as long as the snake master caught up with half a step forward, he would collide head-on.
Not long after, the two met.
Bang!
The next moment, holding a scroll in his hand, the snake master, who looked like a candidate, screamed miserably, like a snowman who was vigorously pushed down by a naughty boy, and fell down like a collapse.
Xiaoqing, who was watching not far away, was simply dumbfounded.
This acting skill is simply gorgeous to the point of dazzling! Although the scream seems to be exaggerated, with the huge physical difference of the collider and the scholarly temperament shown by the snake master, this exaggerated performance is just right! It will only make the spectators immediately feel great sympathy for the snake master, as well as their disgust and contempt for the wild man! Compared with the sense of reality, in this occasion, it is obvious that the importance of drama is even better!
"I didn't expect the boss to have such a unique skill...... Xiaoqing admired sincerely, until the strong man next to her patted her shoulder.
"It's time for us to get on. β
"Hmm......" Xiaoqing came back to his senses and walked forward quickly, ready to play the role of the victim's family and ask the snowy mountain savages for sky-high compensation.
The strong man next to him rushed over first, stopped in front of Bai Xiao, and said sharply: "Stop, you still want to leave after hitting someone!?"
Bai Xiao immediately stopped, looked at the fierce and hostile southern strong man in front of him, and then looked at the scholar who had just hit his head and then fell to the ground and was dying...... I just feel that these two people are a bit like those lemmings who commit suicide in periodic groups on the snowy mountains.
This is not unusual.
The south has a large population and a developed reproductive and reproductive culture, so according to common sense, its population will inevitably show explosive growth, and no matter how rich the resources of the southern continent are, it is impossible to carry an infinite population, so there must be a way to reduce the population.
Now it seems that this method is a collective suicide, right? The popular suicide culture in the southern continent can explain it, but ...... Bai Xiao doesn't care about the lives and deaths of the southerners, it doesn't matter if they are all dead, but when Qingyue arrives in the south, don't learn this kind of unhealthy atmosphere.
On the other side, Xiaoqing also hurriedly took this opportunity to hug the snake master, with a crying expression on his face, and began to play the role of the candidate's relatives and friends.
As for the snake master himself, he coughed lightly, a little blood foam spurted out of the corner of his mouth, his breathing was rapid but weak, and his voice was inaudible, like a dying and seriously injured patient.
Xiaoqing is simply admired in his heart, this boss is too versatile! Usually, people only know that this generation of snake masters is ruthless and scheming at a young age, but few people have experienced how powerful he is, and now it can be regarded as an eye-opener! Even touching porcelain is so gorgeous and realistic! So much so that Xiaoqing, an expert in touching porcelain, is greatly moved.
It wasn't until she reached out and gently pressed on the shoulder of the snake master, prompting him to scream a little more fiercely, that she found the snake master's bones...... It seems to be really broken.
Xiaoqing's whole heart trembled, boss, you have acted too hard, haven't you!? Even I, who has been in the troupe since I was a child, only dare to play with dislocation, and you actually don't hesitate to cut off your pipa bones? The problem is that you are acting so exaggerated, it is beyond the audience's acceptance!
Fortunately, as a professional, the girl's quick response is also outstanding, and tears immediately flowed: "Brother, I told you not to go out for a walk if you were injured, you didn't listen, this injury is aggravated, how do you take the exam......"
The girl's cry, coupled with the pure and moving face, immediately aroused the great sympathy of the onlookers, and then contrasted with the alien shape of Bai Xiao's animal skin and bronze skin, this sympathy was dyed with the color of hatred and hatred.
Countless hostile gazes focused on Bai Xiao in an instant.
The tall snake gang man got the girl's prompt, and he suddenly felt suddenly, gritted his teeth and said: "My brother has worked hard at home in the past few years in order to prepare for the exam, and now he is injured like this, if you don't pay 180,000 yuan today, don't want to leave!"
Xiaoqing listened to it next to her, and she was so angry!
You pig's head was sent by a special enemy to dismantle the stage, right!? I worked hard to squeeze tears and put myself in a good situation, so that you could be reduced to the scene of porcelain fraud with a word!
Seeing that some people around him had already begun to be suspicious, Xiaoqing immediately made a decision, hugged the snake master hard, and cried loudly: "Big brother, we don't want his money! The second brother studied hard at home, not to make much money, but to realize the dream of the Demon Dao left by his father! He knew that his talent was not good, and he had been working ten times and a hundred times harder than others, and no amount of money could make up for this hard work!"
The snake master was hugged hard by the girl, and he spit out black blood on the spot, and his eyes rolled white. Xiaoqing only sighed that the leader's acting skills were amazing and super infectious, and he hugged him tighter and cried harder.
This cry once again reversed public opinion, most of the residents of Hongshan Nancheng were simple-minded, and they were most easily moved by this kind of struggle and inspirational story, although the tall and strong man behaved suspiciously, but the girl was too pitiful.
"It's so hateful, he actually ruined people's future by relying on his own strength!"
"Catch this wild man!"
"We Hongshan people will never allow anyone to bully the weak on the street!"
Seeing that the surrounding spectators were about to attack in groups, Bai Xiao didn't care at all, because the white-haired lemmings on the snowy mountains have always been in groups when they commit suicide, which is not unusual...... But he was in a hurry now, but he didn't have time to entangle with these lemmings.
Recalling Bai Wuya's teaching before leaving, Bai Xiao said, "Why don't I compensate you some money." β
Bai Xiao's words simply made the strong men of the Snake Gang feel excited, but Xiaoqing gritted his teeth and said, "I said we don't want money!"
Before the words fell, he saw that Bai Xiao had already taken out a blue square jade from his pocket.
Xiao Qing looked at it fixedly, and almost hiccuped out of breath.
Thirty years ago, at an auction in White Night City, a perfect piece of jade was auctioned by the wealthy people of Dongli City for a set of sea-view houses, so it is called Haijing Jade...... The jade in front of him was not perfect, the cutting method was simple and crude, but the flaws were not concealed, and it was still a treasure worth at least tens of thousands of silver dollars.
The generous deposit of the young master of the Zheng family is only twenty or thirty thousand silver dollars of jade.
But remembering what the leader Snake Master had said, Xiaoqing immediately reminded himself that this mission was not just a matter of money, if he could get the favor of the big guys, then he would be able to get out of the quagmire and soar to the sky!
"Don't show off your stinky money in front of us! Our family has been pursuing a dream since my grandfather's generation...... You don't hesitate to waste all your wealth for this, and now you are trying to defile our dreams with money!"
Bai Xiao heard that the southern girl was sincere, so he took out another yellow jade and put it in front of her.
Xiaoqing felt that she was about to suffocate, and her slender white arm couldn't help but strangle the snake master's chest even harder.
"I, my second brother, if he succeeds in entering the Red Mountain Academy, even if it is a second-level academy, and becomes an excellent demon Taoist, this jade will not be taken into account at all!"
Bai Xiao didn't say much, and placed a red heart-shaped jade in front of her.
According to what Bai Wuya said, if you encounter a problem in the Southern Continent that you don't know how to deal with, then just throw money, and if it doesn't work, then throw more money.
This time, Xiaoqing was completely speechless, and only subconsciously tightened her arms tighter and tighter, so that she couldn't even feel the leader's heartbeat.
Looking at the three-color jade in front of him, Xiaoqing's mind was full of mixed thoughts, what a big person, what soared into the sky...... None of them are as dazzling as these three priceless pieces of jade!And at this moment, Bai Xiao silently put down a gold bar.
Like the last straw that crushed the camel, Xiaoqing only felt that the Zheng family and the Qi family were like a cloud of smoke.
"Master Snake, shouldn't we think about it...... Snake master, snake master!"
