Mo Liunian slept very well this night, and when he woke up, the red sun was full of windows, and there was a trace of trance in an instant, as if he was still a teenager, and he woke up in the room, and there was silence in all directions.

When I first woke up at dawn, I felt different. It's not about the sight. The dawn of dawn blends with the dark night of the room, the light has a light blue hue, and the air through the window carries the dampness of dew, and the bright light becomes ghostly when touched.

These are not much different from ordinary days, the difference is that in the light and shadow in front of the window, there is a bright figure.

Mo Liunian leaned by the window, looking at the traces of the light moon on the willow tops that had not completely disappeared, and there was a touch of sorrow between his stretched eyebrows.

The morning light is faint, and the dawn beam shines into the room through the window, the light is hazy,

I saw that Mo Liunian's snow-white little face was quite tired, and the dark circles under the eyelids became more and more obvious, only a pair of big eyes were still bright, like joy and hatred, and the deep handsome eyes were full of color.

Mo Liunian thought about it for a while, he should go to Yucheng to receive protection money.

Sleepy-eyed, he walked out of the door in a daze, away from the noise in the palace, and walked straight down the mountain road alone

Thinking all the way, the tide of thought fluctuated, and I didn't realize that my pace was slowing down, and I walked the same road as in the day, and I unconsciously waited until I found it, so I came to Yucheng.

Because I heard the sound of people in front of me coming from afar, I took a closer look, and the wall of Yucheng City was already in sight.

On both sides of Yucheng Royal Street, the traffic is busy and bustling. Mo Liunian was like a child who rushed to buy sugar gourds with great interest, and just walked forward.

As the time approached, there was a bell on the street "Dangdangdang", and teahouses, restaurants, casinos, pawnshops, and many shops opened their doors at the same time, ready to welcome customers.

Early in the morning, they all started to work about their own livelihoods, opened the door of the store, polished the signboard, swept the front of the door, and planted a bunch of incense sticks - probably praying for a prosperous business.

The tailor shop is next to the copperware shop, and not far from the side are flower stalls, as well as large and small jewelry stores, grocery stores, sacrificial supply stores, food stores, and countless stalls selling vegetables and spices.

The sun rose higher and higher, and the number of people gradually increased, and the streets of Yucheng began to become very lively.

The whole Yucheng City immediately became lively, buying things, watching the excitement, looking for errands everywhere to make a living, shoulder to shoulder, and the river was endless.

There is a blue-gray shop along the wall of the antique shop, all of which are a window and a door layout, which is divided into two rooms, the outside is a private seat, and only the guests of the big business will be invited to taste the tea and talk in detail. Every household is hanging a gold plaque on it, and some even hang a banner. Compared with the stalls, it is relatively high-end and formal, and there are fewer idlers, and most of the people who come and go are professional collectors or traders.

Since the opening of the "Champion Building", the hall has been full every day, watching the Jinhe Galaxy and flowing into the money box.

In Yucheng, there is a small feng shui hall on the most prosperous street.

The façade of the Feng Shui Pavilion is very small, but it is quite famous, and almost everyone in Jiangyu City knows it.

The owner of this feng shui hall has been a god since he was a child, and he is extraordinary when he grows up, he can not only use a magnet to take out iron nails from the stomach of a cow, but also to pigs and dogs to go to lob, and he is also proficient in Mai physiognomy, feng shui can be a good person, I Ching gossip, some people jokingly call him "little half-immortal",

Usually enter the believers to the store, drink tea with the little half-immortal, and talk about the Tao. This little half-immortal is very elegant and talkative.

He provided the believers with a sumptuous meal, and at the same time earned a large sum of money from the believers to enrich his own treasury.

And these believers then went home with a renewed spirit, more vitality, to cope with the difficult daily life.

Mo Liunian felt that there were all kinds of things in divination and numerology, so he might as well try it if it was harmless.

Stretch out your palm to give a half-understood person a brief guess of some basic life overview, life and career wisdom, because of the measurement of space, longevity and short life, soaring or ill-fated are only slightly graded, and everyone is not much different.

The more accurate this thing is, the more meaningless it is, you know what you are thinking, you don't need to accept your fate with your palm, this is a pastime that doesn't need to be serious.

Of course, the traditional business items of the feng shui hall are yin and yang divination, feng shui to set the house, and if necessary, you can also catch a ghost and drive away a demon.

As long as the money is in place, the customer is satisfied.

"Not necessarily living" bun shop, turn two small corners to arrive, there is a plaque hanging at the door, white plaque and black letters, the plaque is already antique, like a quaint calligraphy and painting, mistakenly hung on the street.

"Not necessarily living" bun shop has never been advertised, and there is no pretense at the door, only relying on the three sons of "not necessarily living", and it is impossible to see that these three words have buns in it.

Mo Liunian likes this kind of life, wandering around the street all day long, he likes to take advantage of it, take a bun and cook a cake, and even the little flower girl who sells flowers does not let go.

But they still have a face that has brought disaster to the country and the people, and those people are still willing to be taken advantage of.

But Mo Liunian collects protection money entirely on the other party's volition, never forced, three times a year, five taels of silver at a time, and after collecting the protection fee, he has to settle the trouble for the other party, and those who are willing to pay the protection fee will cause trouble, so Mo Liunian can collect peace of mind.

Mo Liunian's previous job was to collect protection money from door to door in Yucheng.

When Mo Liunian walked outside Wang Dali's private bun shop, a stout man with empty eyes immediately stood up from behind the steamer and said with a smile: "Mr. Mo, you are here." ”

Mo Liunian nodded and sat down by the way, the boss gave Xiao'er a look, and Xiao'er immediately put a plate of miscellaneous dough skin, bone residue and dill on the dining table, big buns with filling, a bowl of bean juice per person, and a handful of shallots, a bowl of new sauce, and a hearty meal.

Mo Liunian also really felt a little hungry in his stomach. I ate it, first took a steamed bun fragrant, hot, white and fat, a bite down on the oily, thin skin and big stuffing eighteen folds of big buns. Sent to the mouth and chewed. smiled and said, "It tastes good." “

The meat buns that have just come out of the cage are the most delicious, and the buns are snow-white and crystal white in appearance, and the dough is very smooth

Mo Liunian tasted a little bean juice with his tongue, it was sweet and sour, and he took a sip, and there was a mellow wine taste in the sweetness, so he took a sip, two sips, three sips, four sips, snoring, all drank it and poured it into his mouth, sour, sweet, really delicious.

Mo Liunian looked at the boss and the proprietress standing in front of him and said, "Thank you boss for your hospitality, Dali, sister-in-law, I'm here to collect protection money." ”

Mo Liunian bowed slightly, smiled back, impeccable etiquette.

The boss Wang Dali saw that his words and deeds were noble and elegant, but his expression was gentle, his heart relaxed slightly, and he bowed his head and respectfully complied: "It should be, it should be, the insider has already been ready."

Mo Liunian sat upright and smiled, elegant and gentle, really very flickering, not talking much, but kind and interesting. I can't help but praise this person for his good temperament and kindness.

As she spoke, the proprietress put her hand into his arms, three times and two times, but she really made him take out a delicate, small, heavy money bag.

The woman walked up to Mo Liunian very dexterously, took out a silver ingot of five taels from her sleeve and handed it respectfully.
