dream bubble

Chapter 2
The young man walked with his hands behind his back, looking here and there, not missing a single stall.

The take-off and landing point of the Xingkong giant boat is obviously one of the busiest places in the city. Not only is the square very lively, but the surrounding streets are also lively, with vendors on both sides of the road.

The young man walked down a street aimlessly, still looking all the way, stopping from time to time to rummage through the stalls.

Just as he was squatting on the ground looking through a bunch of bracelets, he suddenly heard a muffled voice from behind: "My father said that everything here is a lie, it's best not to buy it."

The boy turned his head to look, and saw a man not much older than him standing behind him, with a crew cut, a sesame seed face, a homemade clothes, and a rough and dark face.

"Do you dare to say that my things are all lies? Do you want to die?" The vendor who set up the stall was annoyed, he stood up suddenly, and waved his hand as if to slap him.

"I'm sorry, children don't know how to speak, so if you offend me." An uncle in his 40s hurried in.

The uncle spoke kindly, but sparks were crackling and flickering on his two hands, and there were strands of electric light between his fingers.

"Breaking the rules, it's like using a word to prevaricate? Is there such a cheap thing?" The vendor who set up the stall refused to give an inch. He insisted that the other party just came here, he didn't know the details of this place, and he didn't have any backing.

He not only said that himself, but also winked at the stall owners around him.

The people who set up stalls in this place may not know each other, but there is a tacit understanding in private, and they all make a living by deceiving newcomers, so they immediately understood and pulled out long swords and machetes from under the stalls.

"Don't be shameless." The uncle folded his hands on his chest, then raised the crossed hands above his head, and said in his mouth: "Loyalty, benevolence, filial piety, all people are of one mind."

Those traffickers were all shocked, of course they knew what this meant?Whether it is true or not, they cannot continue to entangle.

"Don't talk nonsense in the future." The street vendor pointed at the young man with a sesame seed face as a warning, then he died down and sat down again.

After the dispute subsided, the uncle lowered his head and said to the young man, "Little brother, you just came here too, right? Just you?"

"Yes." The young man nodded, he had a good impression of this family.

After staying on the same boat for half a year, although he was inside the cell, he could still see the outside. This family is very interesting, the uncle is nothing, and he is not eye-catching, but the people he takes are very interesting, all of them are Stupid people, it's very funny to talk.People often play tricks on them when they are on the boat, and they are not annoyed.

"Why haven't I seen you?" the son asked suspiciously.

"I like quietness, so I huddled in a corner by myself, and next to me was a big, scruffy man." The boy didn't want to mention his status as an exile.

The uncle and his son seemed to have some impressions. They didn't like that ugly and dirty guy, so they never got close to him.

"Everyone came here together. After sitting on the boat for half a year, it is fate that we will live here in the future. Come together. I can't guarantee that you will make a fortune, but you can still have enough food." Uncle kindly invite.

The young man was not hypocritical, and immediately agreed. He hadn't thought about what to do next?The other party seems to be quite familiar with this place, and it may be a good choice to follow for a while.

"My surname is Xie, my name is Xiaoyu, and I'm from Dayu State." The young man introduced himself.

"My surname is Li, and my name is Guangzong, which means Guangzong Yaozu. This is my son, Fulu, and we came from Beihai Prefecture." The uncle also said: "We have a group of more than twenty people, all of whom are from the village."

"Have you been here before?" Xie Xiaoyu asked.

"I came here with my uncle when I was 12 years old. I made a fortune here. I returned to Middle-earth 15 years ago. I thought I would never come here again in this life. I didn't expect that the times were bad. My hometown suffered disasters year after year. I couldn't survive. , I had no choice but to come back with my family.”

When the uncle mentioned the disaster, there was a hint of murderous intent on his face. Obviously, it was not just a simple natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster.

The son was a little heartless, as if it was a good thing to come back here, and said cheerfully: "My sister and I were born here, but we were young at that time."

"At that time you were only a few months old, and your sister was only a little over a year old." The uncle recalled the past days.

Three people were talking and had already crossed the street.

On the other side of the street, all the uncle's fellow countrymen were waiting there, surrounded by a woman who looked old, with gray hair and anxious face.

"The second son is no longer working in the port." The uncle knew that his wife was waiting anxiously, so he quickly explained: "I finally found out that he is now working in the Renhetang in the west city."

"Xicheng?" Aunt Li, the uncle's wife, looked embarrassed.

"Call me a two-wheeler. Mom can't walk. It's far away from the west city." The uncle's son is very good at planning for his mother. When he left here, he was still young and didn't remember anything, but he used to hear his parents talk about it. The days here, so I have some impressions of the situation here.

"What are you calling a two-wheeled vehicle? It's not easy to make a living here, so save as much as you can." Aunt Li complained. She stood up and picked up the big bag under her buttocks.

"Let me do it." The uncle reached out to take it, turned his head and said to his son, "Fu Lu, help your mother and your sister, it's not close from here."

The son responded.

The uncle turned his head and said again: "All of you, be careful about your burdens. Don't carry them behind you. Hold them all in front. This place is not flat, and there are people grabbing things everywhere."

Those who came out of the same village immediately followed suit, and the baggage in their hands was all their wealth.

A group of people carried their bundles and luggage, and followed the uncle.

Xie Xiaoyu hangs at the back, he is the most relaxed, doesn't bring anything, and looks east and west along the way.

Linhai City is the initial foothold of people in Tianbao Prefecture. Over 300 years, it has transformed from a small settlement at the beginning to its current scale.

The streets here are very wide, with buildings on both sides, and the shortest one has three floors, usually five to seven floors.There must be shops on the street on the ground floor, selling all kinds of things.The prices of the same items in these shops are much cheaper than those at the stalls around the landing point.

Not only are there many shops, but there are also many people. Most of them are in rags and are in a hurry, as if driven by an invisible whip.There are rich people too, they sit on a kind of two-wheeled cart pulled by people, and walk through the city leisurely.Unlike Middle-earth, there are still many women standing on the side of the road and making poses.

With five colors that captivate the eyes and five desires that seduce people's hearts, this eccentric city deserves to be called the Great Demon City.

The walk along the road was slow, not because the group of people lacked enough footpower, but because there were always people teasing and pulling them along the way, some pulling them to buy things, and some prostitutes directly pestering them. In the eyes, it is Fat Sheep and Kaizi.It takes more time to send these people away than to travel.

It was near evening that they found Renhe Hall.

It was a big medicine shop, with a big word "medicine" written on the big blue wall, and the signboard was not big, it was just set on the door.

The uncle walked in alone, and yelled at a dozing clerk by the counter. The clerk opened his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and then jumped up in surprise.

"Brother, why are you back? Is sister-in-law okay?" the guy asked. He was only in his 40s, but his hair was already gray and his face was wrinkled. He looked like a shriveled old man.

"Your sister-in-law is outside." The uncle wanted to catch up on the past, but this is not the place to talk.

The middle-aged man rushed to the door, said hello to Aunt Li, then turned around and said to the uncle: "You can't leave here, you take my sister-in-law to my house first, the place where I live now is the former Huangnigang. After crossing the street, you can see a big archway."

The uncle responded and led the crowd away.

"Huangnigang? Wasn't it a messy grave?" Aunt Li muttered. She is a woman and she is quite taboo about such things.

"It's good to have a place to live." The uncle scolded, and in a blink of an eye he sighed again: "We have been walking for 15 years, and this city has grown a lot."

"Father, show me to take a good look. I was born here, but I don't know what it's like here." Li Jinbao yelled from the side.

"I will send you to the mine tomorrow. Everyone will go to the mine. You are full of blood. You must not stay in this place. Otherwise, it will be easy to learn bad things." The uncle said firmly. People are swallowed by this blurred brilliance, and in the end they chew until there is not even a scum left.

Li Jinbao didn't like it in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, otherwise his father wouldn't have to lecture him with his mouth, he would definitely use a slap instead.

Huangnigang is not too far away from Renhetang, so this time it didn't take that long.
