Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

Chapter 60

When the subject of money was mentioned, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes instantly lit up with a cunning and resolute light, like a hunter with an insight into the subtleties, foreseeing the countless possibilities hidden in the thorny road ahead.

The corner of his mouth was raised slightly, and the words he spoke were like an ice-breaking hammer, breaking open the hard shell of reality, "If we are faced with a depletion of financial resources by then, why not try to find those wealthy families with huge wealth and discuss countermeasures together?"

His eyes were full of determination, as if any difficulty in front of him would be resolved without a trace.

Lin Xiaofeng sat there steadily, exuding an indifferent but profound aura, like a simple landscape painting, quietly spreading out in people's sight.

His fingers were gently playing in the tea cup, as if playing a silent movement. The tea residue settling at the bottom of the cup danced with his fingertips, seeming to be endowed with a heavy metaphor.

There was a trace of melancholy quietly locked between his brows, and that trace of frown was like a stone tablet carved by the years, recording his deep concern for the impermanence and changes of the world.

Although the tea leaves in the cup have been fried and their value has doubled, which is almost ridiculous, he knows very well that only by decisive action can this inflated price return to its proper value.

Although peach blossom wine is sweet and pleasant, it cannot be widely spread in this barren land. Therefore, promoting tea has become an important mission for Lin Xiaofeng.

Tea, each leaf and bud, releases a rich and intoxicating aroma after being fried, which can not only satisfy people's pursuit of delicious food, but also provide essential nourishment to poor people struggling on the edge of hunger. Every drop of tea soup is The source of energy for them to survive in adversity.

Furthermore, the way to drink tea is to use boiling water for brewing, and the common people are mostly accustomed to drinking untreated raw water directly. Especially behind the prosperity of Kyoto, the groundwater is seriously polluted, the water quality is bitter and difficult to swallow, and the sanitary conditions are worrying. Such drinking habits undoubtedly increase the risk of disease transmission.

Although in theory, to change this situation, we only need to encourage people to boil water for drinking, in fact, breaking the deep-rooted living customs is as difficult as shaking the towering mountains and filling the vast oceans.

Looking back on the long history, people at the bottom of society lived in poverty. It was a rare blessing to have a bowl of hot porridge to warm their stomachs every day, let alone boiling water to make tea.

I recall that during the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty, when Yuan Ren, a monk from Japan, was traveling in China, he witnessed with his own eyes the hard life of local people in Shandong who had to eat cold food all year round. Hard pancakes and cold dishes.

You must know that the fuel required to boil a pot of water is often more than that of cooking a meal. From the Song and Yuan Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, ordinary people's homes were rarely equipped with special equipment for boiling water except for a stove for cooking food; even though In the Qing Dynasty, the practice of drinking boiled water to prevent gastrointestinal diseases was only popular among the upper class. The majority of people at the grassroots level still followed the habit of drinking cold water.

Lin Xiaofeng pondered over and over again, but could never find an ideal solution that could not only substantially improve people's livelihood, but also be easy to implement.

He is well aware of the charm of tea. If he can supply good tea with high quality and low price, it may be able to alleviate the current problems to a certain extent.

However, the core of all problems still points to the poverty of the people. In the final analysis, we must find ways to improve their income levels. This is the key to solving all difficulties.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes became more determined, and the rapids in his heart surged with an urgent expectation for reform and an extremely firm determination, as if he had already seen the dawn of the future, full of hope and rebirth.

"Where are the big dog owners?" Li Dexian said this. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng's absent-minded look and felt a little doubtful in his heart.

Lin Xiaofeng's expression was very complicated. He stared at Li Dexian as if he was deconstructing an unknown puzzle. There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth, as if everything was as expected.

"Do you still need to look for it?" He said with a hint of disdain in his tone, "Isn't Lao Li's family the biggest big dog owner in the capital?"

"This capital city is full of big dogs. Do you remember those people who buy jewelry during the Qiqiao Festival? They are all big dogs." Lin Xiaofeng said, as if revealing an open secret.

"It's easy to lure everyone to North Langfang. I still have a few top-quality diamonds from the 'Heart of the Ocean', 'Heart of the Forest', and 'Heart of Magma'. I'll get one in the North Langfang Square in a few days. Promote the auction!" Lin Xiaofeng said confidently, as if everything was under his control.

"When the time comes, people will come, and then write a slogan: 'Don't enter Beilangfang if you are poor', and set off Beilangfang's high-end atmosphere and class, and it's done!" Lin Xiaofeng's words were full of confidence and cunning.

Li Dexian felt a little helpless when he heard this. He looked at Lin Xiaofeng with a bit of confusion in his eyes: "Old Lin, it's not a long-term solution for us to cheat like this, right?"

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes widened and his tone was firm: "What kind of deception? This is marketing to promote the reasonable flow of resources." His words were full of determination and confidence, as if everything was taken for granted.

In this imperial society, how many of the so-called "big dog owners" are clean? Lin Xiaofeng understands this deeply. During the days when he was a beggar, his ideas had not changed yet, and he had been looking at the world with modern moral values, which naturally resulted in a broken head and bloodshed.

The combination of capital and power ruthlessly crushes the dignity of the people.

He has seen many beggars who were originally runaway slaves, debtors, or ordinary people who had offended nobles. Because they could not bear the pressure of life, they ended up at the bottom of society and spent the rest of their lives in confusion. A small mistake can completely turn your life upside down. If he is unfortunately caught, he won’t even have the chance to pick cotton!

Fortunately, Lin Xiaofeng finally stuck to his moral bottom line. He successfully lost his identity as a "beggar" and retained his dignity. This kind of dignity is not built up by money and power, but comes from inner perseverance and belief.

While the two were chatting, an old lady wearing a red armband came over. She rubbed her hands and looked at Lin Xiaofeng with a smile: "Well, Mr. De, you will be fined three cents for spitting." The old lady's voice was trembling and uneasy, as if she was forced to do this by life.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at the old lady with mixed feelings in her heart. He knows that there are still many people in this society struggling to survive, and what he and Li Dexian have done may only be a drop in the bucket.

But he firmly believes that as long as someone is willing to stick to their moral bottom line and conscience, there is still hope for the world. He took out three pennies and handed it to the old lady: "Take it, it's a fine."

·············································

It was an ancient carriage engraved with the traces of time, carrying the weight of the times. Amidst the steady and rhythmic sound of hoofbeats, it slowly drove from the bustling deep alleys of the inner city to the desolate borderlands of the outer city. The mottled wooden texture of the car body is like a silent scroll of history, telling the story of time.

In the car, an old man who has experienced the vicissitudes of life is sitting. His brows are furrowed, like the vigorous mountains. His eyes, which have been sharpened by the years, are like two abyss, shining with the wisdom of seeing the world. . He held a yellowed ancient book in his hand, and every page seemed to be condensed with the frost and snow of the years. Wherever his fingertips touched it, there were traces of history.

His eyes wandered between the ancient texts, each character telling a forgotten history. However, his thoughts were not immersed in it, but often wandered, accompanied by long and helpless sighs, as if his soul had passed through the thick volume in front of him and flown to a distant unknown territory.

At this moment, the carriage seemed to feel the call of some mysterious power and trembled slightly, as if it was the whisper of time, whispering to the old man that they had crossed the boundaries of the inner city and entered the world of the outer city. The old man then slowly and solemnly lifted the car curtain like a heavy history book and looked out.

The originally smooth and mirror-like stone pavement gradually faded out of sight at this moment, replaced by a rugged dirt path with staggered potholes. In the distance, the hustle and bustle of the market reached our ears. The ruffians were laughing and cursing in the streets and alleys. Their laughter and insults blended together into a noisy ocean. The old man's brows furrowed even more, and he let out another heavy sigh, like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples in the chaotic air.

The carriage swayed hard on this rugged road, like a lone boat bumping forward in a windy and rainy sea. Suddenly, a deafening banging sound erupted from the bottom of the car. The shaft and horses jumped up in fright, sending up yellow sand all over the sky. The unsuspecting old man hit his head hard on the roof of the car, and pain instantly swept through his body.

Fortunately, even though the carriage experienced such violent vibrations, it finally stabilized itself and did not overturn. The old man pressed the hit head, suppressing an uncontrollable anger in his heart. He took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

The coachman looked horrified, quickly approached the carriage, and asked with concern in a loud voice: "Master, are you okay? The wheel accidentally fell into a big hole just now." The old man endured the pain, and said in a low and powerful voice: "It's nothing serious! You are okay. Just drive to North Langfang.”

After hearing this, a relieved smile appeared on the slightly nervous face of the coachman. He raised the whip again and led the carriage forward.

However, the road ahead was still bumpy and the carriage was shaking in the bumps. The old man was experiencing severe pain in his head, and he was becoming more and more restless. Eventually, he could no longer endure the torture.

The old man pushed open the half-open carriage door and asked the coachman sternly: "Where are we now?" Upon seeing this, the coachman immediately replied with a respectful expression: "Sir, our current location is Wanloufang."

"Stop!" The old man gave the order without hesitation.

The carriage stopped steadily on the side of the road. The old man grasped the frame of the carriage tightly with one hand, pressed his still painful head with the other hand, and stepped out of the carriage calmly. With a serious and decisive look on his face, he made arrangements for the coachman: "You drive to North Langfang first and wait. I decided to get off the car here and choose to walk."

The coachman faced the old man's decision. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he still silently accepted it and just nodded lightly in response.

Then, he waved his whip and drove the carriage farther and farther along the winding dirt road until it disappeared on the road leading to North Langfang. The old man is independent in the dust, his figure appears lonely and determined, moving towards the goal step by step.

The old man stood alone by the roadside, looking at the bumpy carriage, feeling an indescribable loneliness and desolation in his heart.

He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and took firm steps.

The face of the old man walking alone in the bustling world is like a picture that carries the vicissitudes of time, with a layer of desolate clouds that cannot be brushed off.

His steps were heavy and slow, as if every step was trampling on endless sorrow and sorrow, dragging the weight of the whole world with him.

The scenery on both sides of the street was chaotic in his field of vision, as disorderly and desolate as sand dunes blown away by the wind, revealing an indescribable brokenness and indifference.

The old man's lowered eyes half covered his desolate eyes, and he gently covered his face with his wide sleeves. It was a helpless and painful avoidance of the real world.

Suddenly, there was a burst of noisy market noise behind him, and a gorgeously decorated carriage passed by quickly. Two familiar faces suddenly appeared in the window - Chen Shuguang and Li Qiuyan. They pointed at the old man excitedly and shouted: " Mr. Bai! Mr. Bai!"

Bai Yongyuan turned around when he heard the sound. At that moment, the haze in his eyes seemed to be dispelled by some kind of power, leaving a faint warmth. He opened his lips slightly, and his voice was calm and slightly doubtful: "Why are you here?"

Li Qiuyan's face was intertwined with worry and anxiety. He responded hastily: "We met by chance on the road. It happened that I had a rest today and I haven't seen the prince for many days. I was really worried about him, so I thought of going to see him."

Chen Shuguang nodded in agreement, with firmness in his words: "That's right, that's right."

The three of them got off the carriage together and walked forward hand in hand. Bai Yongyuan gently stroked the silver-white beard under his chin, an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with profound wisdom: "Like you, I also came to visit the prince. Now the prince is responsible for managing the huge land of Yifang. It is an important task, but His Majesty has not even discussed it with us veterans."

Li Qiuyan's face was solemn, and his eyes showed deep worry: "That Lin Xiaofeng is acting erratically. I really can't trust him, so I came here to see the prince."

Chen Shuguang frowned, his face full of confusion: "Mr. Bai, why are you here?"

Bai Yongyuan smiled calmly, his words full of understanding and resonance: "As you said, I am also concerned about the prince's situation. Faced with such an important matter, it is really puzzling that His Majesty did not discuss it with us."

He continued: "Lin Xiaofeng's behavior really makes people feel uneasy. If the prince is too close to such a person, he may be in danger of going astray." After hearing this, Chen Shuguang frowned with regret: "Oh, how could your majesty Don’t worry about letting the prince get along with such a person of bad character, I’m really worried about the prince making careless friends!”

Bai Yongyuan intervened at the right time to calm the dispute between the two: "Okay, okay, everything will become clear when we see the prince. You two don't have to argue about this."

They walked slowly through the winding streets, discussing the prince's future destiny as they walked.

However, the street scene in front of them was in sharp contrast to their good expectations.

Bai Yongyuan looked at the dilapidated Wanloufang and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, this Wanloufang has been decadent for a long time. How can we expect it to undergo earth-shaking changes in just one month?"

Chen Shuguang maintained an optimistic attitude. He smiled and said with relief: "Last year I went to Beilangfang in the outer city, and the situation there was worse than Wanloufang. If Lin Xiaofeng and the prince can really control Beilangfang in a short time, If it is managed as well as Wanloufang is now, that can be considered a rare achievement."

It was an afternoon when the north wind was as fierce as the roar of hungry wolves. Three weather-beaten old men, like three proud green pines standing in the wind and snow, were marching tenaciously along a winding path covered with thin snow.

Their figures swayed in the biting cold wind, but their eyes were like torches, like falcons gazing at their prey, scanning every inch of the surrounding land rigorously, not allowing even a trace of dust to escape.

Li Qiuyan's pace revealed anxiety and struggle, as if he was imprisoned by invisible chains. His eyebrows were furrowed, his face was ashen, and his words were filled with uncontrollable anger and dissatisfaction: "Look at this land, it is extremely dirty! The world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, and morals are corrupt!"

Chen Shuguang had a slightly mocking smile on his lips, and his tone was calm and indifferent: "Brother Li, why are you so angry? In the capital, there are so many people, who can stay clean in this prosperous world? There are so many things in the world, so helpless Nine times out of ten, that’s the case.”

Bai Yongyuan is always worried, and his brows are furrowed as if he is carrying endless worries: "I am full of worries about the prince's growth process. I am afraid that the situation in North Langfang will be even worse."

Suddenly, Chen Shuguang's eyes were as sharp as a predatory eagle, and he warned: "The security situation in North Langfang is worrying. We must be more vigilant to ensure the safety of people and property." When the three old men heard this, their eyes met and conveyed With a tacit understanding, they then adjusted their pace and stepped firmly into the world of wind and snow.

The surrounding scenery gradually disappeared into the wind and snow, and only the sound of their footsteps walking on the snow echoed in the biting cold wind, like a sad but yet sad elegy, murmuring the passage of time and the mixed flavors of life. List.

As they drifted further and further away, the heavy and resolute footsteps seemed to be telling a story about perseverance, responsibility and worry, reflecting their vitality that remained strong and courageous even though they were old.

··················································

Stepping into Beilangfang, the crowd is as dense as an ant formation, and the noise is mixed with a strange and fresh atmosphere. The road surface is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the young trees, and the mottled writing on the white walls seems to be whispering some dusty secret.

Bai Yongyuan's eyelids trembled slightly, and he looked at Chen Shuguang with confusion: "This is Beilangfang?" Chen Shuguang frowned, and there was hesitation in his words: "Have we lost our way? Beilangfang in memory is not like this. People flow. Why is it so surging?"

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps like an exciting drum beat. A row of officers and soldiers were approaching in unison. The swords they held tightly in their hands flashed with cold light. The sound of leather boots hitting the ground was sonorous and powerful. There was a chilling atmosphere around them. A scene of people fleeing in all directions flashed before Bai Yongyuan's eyes, but the pedestrians around him turned a blind eye to it and took it calmly.

The three of them looked at each other. When did these officers and soldiers with such iron discipline become so commonplace? The people in North Langfang seemed to have become accustomed to it, and there was no trace of panic on their faces. In the past, people would have avoided it, but now it is as calm as usual, which is puzzling.

Bai Yongyuan's eyes moved around, examining everything around him: "This place is very orderly, could it be that we have really strayed into a foreign country?" Li Qiuyan said bluntly, full of desire to explore this strange scene, striding like a meteor, speaking boldly: "Don't care if he is right or wrong! The city can have such a bustling city, so let’s break in first and see what’s going on!”

The three of them followed closely, going deeper and deeper, becoming more and more surprised. The streets that were originally filled with ruffians were now filled with busy vendors and an endless stream of citizens. Colorful flags and flags were fluttering, the stalls were filled with snacks, handicrafts, daily necessities and steaming hot tea, and the shouts of hawkers kept coming and going, making it very lively.

In this noisy and bustling market, order is extremely good, and the ground is as clean as if it has just been baptized. Obviously, this is inseparable from the maintenance of many officers and soldiers. However, who are those old men with red cloth tied on their sleeves? Their presence cast another layer of doubt on the minds of the three of them.

Afterwards, Chen Shuguang led Li Qiuyan and Bai Yongyuan to a quaint tea shop. His posture was calm, as if he had been one with the autumn water. As soon as he sat down, he locked eyes with the waiter with sharp eyes and asked firmly: "This little brother, is this North Langfang?"

The waiter looked at these three strange old men with curiosity and speculation in his eyes. His face was filled with a warm smile, but his tone was surprising: "Oh, the three old men, they look like they are new here." He asked tentatively, "Are you guys here to take a dump? "

As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at each other with shocked expressions on their faces.

Li Qiuyan suddenly turned red, slapped the case angrily, and yelled loudly: "How dare you! How can you talk nonsense in front of me!" The waiter was so frightened by his reaction that his face changed, and he hurriedly bowed and apologized: "Sorry, forgive me. , gentlemen, I’m so unobtrusive and offended!”

Bai Yongyuan remained as calm as a mountain. He asked slowly: "Second brother, is this really Bei Langfang?" The waiter nodded and bowed, and quickly replied: "That's right, sir, this place is definitely Bei Langfang!" Three People's faces showed a mixture of confusion and shock.

Bai Yongyuan inquired further: "What do you mean by what you just said?" The waiter blinked, smiled, and began to talk: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, but the government has done something weird in this world. Every time you go to a public restroom, you will get a lottery ticket. I heard that the first prize is as high as five taels of silver! The lottery draw is going to be held at Beilang Plaza today, and the streets and alleys are so crowded that they are almost crossing the threshold!"

After hearing this, the three of them opened their mouths wide with surprise on their faces. They looked at each other, both seeing the same confusion and shock in each other's eyes. What a wonderful world, they thought.

After paying for tea, they immediately got up and walked onto the bustling streets eagerly to find out the truth about this wonderful incident.

In the lazy sunshine of this early autumn afternoon, three old friends, Bai Yongyuan, Li Qiuyan and Chen Shuguang, strolled leisurely among the streets of the city.

The air was filled with the faint fragrance of osmanthus, and accompanied by the cool autumn breeze, they wandered through the bustling and tranquil streets, like three lonely silhouettes in a light-ink landscape painting.

At first, their eyes were caught by the eye-catching characters on a mottled wall. Advocative slogans such as "For a better life, please take care of our city", "Walk three to five steps more, keep the grass green", although the handwriting was It is rough and powerful, but it has a simple texture that touches people's hearts. It has profound meaning and is easy to understand.

The three of them nodded frequently, with a sincere smile of appreciation on their lips, as if those words had turned into a warm current in their hearts.

Bai Yongyuan, the old man with a gray beard, gently rubbed his chin, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he praised in a low voice: "This Lin Xiaofeng is actually a somewhat real person."

After hearing this, Li Qiuyan was deeply convinced. Ripples of approval reflected in the depths of his eyes, and he nodded slowly. His calm words were like sharpened stones, resoundingly: "It is true. This approachable propaganda method is concise. It is clear and easy for people to remember.”

Chen Shuguang's face was indifferent, his smile was as warm as the autumn sunshine, and there was a hint of unnoticeable approval in his reserved eyes, as if everything was unspoken.

However, as they stepped deeper into a remote corner of Fangshi, the slogans on the wall suddenly changed their tone. The original slogans full of positive energy were quietly replaced by some vulgar and extremely vulgar words, as if they were the graffiti of a prankster, which stung their eyes.

"Hold it! The prize-winning competition is in full swing. For details, please go to the public toilets to inquire and sign up." A slogan was clearly visible, which made people jaw-dropping.

"It is strictly prohibited to urinate and defecate anywhere. Once found, if the amount exceeds one dollar, the crime tools will be confiscated." Another slogan was even more ridiculous.

Facing this scene, the expressions of the three old men instantly became gloomy. Li Qiuyan was even more overwhelmed. He pressed his chest with one hand, and his breathing seemed to become rapid. He could hardly believe his eyes and blurted out: "This... ···Is this also something that humans can do?!”

At this time, Chen Shuguang's face suddenly cracked an uncontrollable smile. First, a suppressed laugh escaped from his throat, and then he couldn't help but burst out laughing. The laughter was like a flood from a broken embankment, and he was instantly infected. Bai Yongyuan and the two old men laughed forward and backward, as if they had encountered the most ridiculous thing in their lives.

Li Qiuyan was shocked by this scene. He glared at the two people who were laughing heartily in front of him and asked: "Why are you laughing! What's so funny about such vulgar things?!"

Chen Shuguang finally stopped laughing and took a breath. He explained with a smile on his face: "This Lin Xiaofeng is really a ghostly character. Although these words are vulgar, the effect is unexpectedly good. Look at the streets in this city, every part of them is not as clean as new?"

Bai Yongyuan also echoed with laughter: "This is exactly the reason. Although the method is strange, the effect is undoubtedly excellent. It's just that Lin Xiaofeng is indeed a talent and can think of such a new way."

Seeing that the two of them were still enjoying themselves, Li Qiuyan became more and more indignant. He felt that these inferior slogans trampled on the dignity of scholars. He snorted coldly and turned away from the words that made him sick.

When Chen Shuguang and Bai Yongyuan stopped laughing, Chen Shuguang caught a glimpse of Li Qiuyan's sullen back and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Although Lin Xiaofeng has some tricks, he has no bottom line in his actions. If he continues like this, he will probably harm the prince." produce adverse effects.”

Bai Yongyuan nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and his worry was palpable: "Oh, the prince is still in his youth. If he is blinded by these vulgar things, it will be very bad."

The two continued to discuss the prince's education on this topic for a while, and then they realized that Li Qiuyan was still sulking alone. So Chen Shuguang stepped forward, patted Li Qiuyan's shoulder gently, and comforted him: "Old Li, there is no need to be angry about this. Although Lin Xiaofeng behaves erratically, what he has done has achieved remarkable results."

Li Qiuyan glared at Chen Shuguang and said in a slightly excited voice: "I'm not angry because of Lin Xiaofeng! I'm angry about those vulgar slogans. They are simply a taint of elegance!"

Chen Shuguang still maintained his open-minded smile, and said comfortingly: "Okay, okay, don't be angry. Although Lin Xiaofeng did something deviant, at least the result was good. Look, let's go and take a look at the public toilet lottery and say no. There must be something new."

After finishing speaking, he dragged Li Qiuyan and Bai Yongyuan towards the public toilet that caused heated discussion.

When we arrived in front of the public toilet, we saw that many onlookers had already gathered there, and there was endless discussion. Chen Shuguang squeezed into the crowd and looked up at the notice posted on the wall. He saw it clearly read: "The public toilet lottery is now open! Anyone who is convenient in this public toilet can participate in the lottery! There are rich prizes and a chance to win super Big prize!”

After Chen Shuguang read the notice, he couldn't help but laugh. He turned to Bai Yongyuan and Li Qiuyan and said with emotion: "This Lin Xiaofeng really lives up to his reputation as a wonderful person. He can even pull off such tricks in public toilets."

Bai Yongyuan also smiled and said: "Yes, this can be said to have completely stimulated the enthusiasm of the people. It is estimated that this city will no longer have to worry about the dirty environment from now on."

While talking, the three of them looked at each other and smiled again, as if the embarrassment and anger just now had been eliminated by this sudden fun.

"Hey, there's a lottery going on in the public restroom. Shouldn't our brothers join in the fun?" Bai Yongyuan half-squinted his eyes. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were like the ravines carved by the years, but they couldn't hide him. There was a cunning light in his eyes and a naughty smile at the corner of his mouth, as if time had instantly flown back to his carefree boyhood.

After hearing this, Li Qiuyan's eyebrows immediately condensed into a dark cloud, and his face was as dark as a piece of iron, full of contempt and disdain for this matter: "Huh, what kind of status do I hold, how could I get involved in such a vulgar act! Wait! When I get home, I will definitely report this matter to the heavens. This kind of behavior that corrupts the social atmosphere must not be allowed to go unchecked!"

Bai Yongyuan looked at his serious look, laughed, put his arm on Chen Shuguang's shoulder, and the two of them joined hands, grabbing Li Qiuyan's sleeve without any explanation, as if dragging a stubborn old cow, all the way to the mysterious public toilet.

In front of the public toilet, there was a long and winding queue, and the crowd was bustling with people. Although the three old men were unwilling to face such a battle, they were still trapped in it and could only reluctantly join the queue.

The process of queuing was like waiting for an eagle, wearing down their patience. However, every time I wanted to leave, I felt unwilling to do so. After all, I had been waiting under the scorching sun for such a long time. The three of them stood in the queue, looking at the toilet door that was out of reach in front of them. Their faces were full of helplessness and annoyance, and they lamented repeatedly: "Hey, at our age, we still have to queue up here for a flush toilet. Wait, this is simply... disgraceful!"

"It's all thanks to that Lin Xiaofeng who pushed us to this point!" Chen Shuguang agreed while shaking his head.

Li Qiuyan snorted coldly, his words full of dissatisfaction with Lin Xiaofeng: "If I had known this, why bother! How many times have I warned you not to believe the sweet words of those young people, but now you are being led around by the nose!"

"Oh, you really want to piss me off to death! One day, I will be so pissed off by Lin Xiaofeng that I will return to the west!" Bai Yongyuan said while stamping his feet, as if he wanted to spread this resentment through the earth.

They struggled through the ranks and finally it was their turn. The three of them took the piece of paper handed over by the staff with complicated expressions, pressed their fingerprints solemnly, and then walked into the small space full of suspicion. However, they had no intention of going to the toilet. They just crowded in the inner room awkwardly, looking at each other with mixed feelings in their minds.

Li Qiuyan looked around and sneered at this extremely crude lottery design: "Look at this crude technique, there must be a lot of people fishing in troubled waters! I want to see how Lin Xiaofeng cleans up this farce!"

Chen Shuguang was also full of questions: "Also, where did the funds for this lottery come from? Could it be that Lin Xiaofeng paid for it out of his own pocket? How can he be so generous?"

Bai Yongyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had caught some clue: "Is there someone else behind the scenes, such as the mysterious prince?"

When Li Qiuyan saw this, he quickly lowered his voice and looked around: "Silence! There are many people here, so be careful that the walls have ears!"

Due to event regulations, each person has a limited time to use the toilet, so they cannot stay for a long time or pass by in a hurry. The three of them were wandering inside and outside the toilet, at a loss. At this time, a man who was eager to go to the toilet saw them blocking the door but not going in. He suddenly got angry and shouted at them: "Can you go to the toilet? Don't occupy the latrine and don't poop!"

When Li Qiuyan heard this, his eyes widened with anger, and he responded without any sign of weakness: "Why are you in such a hurry! The time has not come yet!" The man was glared at by Li Qiuyan, and he smiled: "Hey, you three old men want to touch me too. Luck? Stop daydreaming!" After leaving these words, he turned and left.

The three of them looked at each other, and wherever their eyes met, they were all filled with shame and regret. They nodded silently and reached a consensus in their hearts: The fourth person must not know about what happened today, otherwise it would be a shame!

Finally, Bai Yongyuan and others walked out of the public toilet full of worries. Holding the lottery ticket containing the ridiculous experience in their hands, they couldn't help but sigh deeply - why did all this happen? The more they thought about it, the more angry they became, but there was nothing they could do.

Chen Shuguang simply risked his life and put on the posture of breaking a jar: "That's all, we've already been embarrassed so far, why not be completely embarrassed! Let's go and take a look at the lottery results and see what Lin Xiaofeng is selling in his gourd. What kind of medicine!”

The three of them faced the strange looks from around them and walked resolutely towards the place where the results were revealed. Although they knew that there was little hope, they wanted to know the truth behind this absurd journey.

Among the noisy crowds, several figures were like ships pushed by the waves, slowly joining the flow of people into the torrent of the North Corridor Square. Around the square, towering billboards stand one after another. They shine with golden light under the scorching sun, like huge gems embedded in the city skyline. However, the content of the advertisements that come into view makes people speechless for a moment, and there are mixed feelings in their hearts. List.

These huge billboards are not ordinary product displays, but are covered with thick painting paper. Every line and every touch of color seems to have been carved with ingenuity. The painters' views on life and life flow through the brushstrokes. Unique understanding and love for art.

The male and female beings in the painting are all different.
