Chapter 39 The Market
Strong joy stirred Kaisha's chest, and she couldn't help but speed up and crawled upwards.
"Kasha!" Kane called from behind.
"What's the matter?" She looked back at him, and laughter came from under her mask.
Kane wanted to speak but stopped, and thousands of words were summed up in one sentence: "It's nothing, be careful when you go up."
"Yes." Kesha continued to crawl upwards. The tunnel was narrower and it was a slope, so she could only climb.
When she arrived at the end of the tunnel, Kaisha saw a gap with sky light above her head, which was the world she yearned for!
It's so close!
For a moment, she seemed to have returned to her childhood that was about to be forgotten, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Kane patted her calves and raised a finger in front of her mouth to prevent her from being too excited.
Silence.
listen.
Kesha calmed down and felt the movement from the ground.
The helmets amplified their five senses, the air was filled with a strong smell, the sound of people bargaining, the pungent smell of spices and barbecue came, and the mouth was filled with the sourness of desire.
This is likely to be the market, but I don’t know what the situation is.
Kane's consciousness network can only detect void creatures, and he can do nothing about it, so he can only let Kaisha be careful.
He won't keep up, Kesha can only explore on her own.
The void skin armor was rippled, and Kesha's figure disappeared, but she was still there.
She reached out and slashed the gap, and cleaved it a little bit until she could poke her entire head out.
She saw the market drowned in color and noise, and the arched canvas awnings next to each other almost covered the entire street, the air was filled with scorching sun, and people set up stalls in the shade.
The people who sell water, the people who sell animals, the people who sell spices, the people who sell fruits... Although the sparrow is small, it is full of all organs. This settlement is even more prosperous than the small village she has been in for ten years.
"Is this the world above? I'm back."
Kaisha was full of anticipation. Seeing that no one noticed the edge of her, she broke the dry soil on her head and then drilled out.
She did not forget Kane's advice, and the first time she went up was to quietly bring in the things and seal the exit.
The tunnel exit is located in the corner of an abandoned earth wall, which can block the view on the other side. Next to it is a defective mud tank with only dead grass and fruit cores inside. Kesha moved it to block the hole.
Before the sealing, she did not forget to wave to Kane in the tunnel, but this was done in an invisible state, and I don’t know if he could feel it.
After doing all this, Kesha carefully walked to the market.
The smell of sweat came from the streets, and there were all kinds of pedestrians coming and going, but in general, it was not very dense, and Kesha could walk easily.
Kesha noticed that the sunshine area in the middle of the road was beyond the shade, where few people walked by. Even if they had to cross the width of only five meters, they had to speed up and run over as quickly as possible, as if they would die when they encountered the sun.
Kesha looked up at the sky. The sun was very vicious today, but she wouldn't hide like a vampire.
Seeing this, she suddenly had an idea - isn't anyone foolishly hitting her when she walked into the sun?
She avoided the pedestrians along the way and put one foot into the sun, which twisted the light on her skin nails.
Then she showed her feet.
Kesha found that although her body was still invisible, the shadow cast by the sun was still there!
Fortunately, no one would notice that there was a dark spot in the sunshine. Even if you saw it, you would think of it as a shadow cast by a bird falling on the awning.
Kesha retracted her feet in the shadows and continued to hide from pedestrians to visit the market.
The streets were very neat, but her eyes did not always fall on the stalls on both sides. Sometimes she also looked at the beautiful houses on both sides, bathing in the sun with bricks and tiles.
She saw a huge golden disc on the top of a temple. It was a rough imitation of the legendary sun disc. There was no trace of magic flowing on the surface, but it contained the glory of Shurima's past.
I heard from Kane that the real sun disk is very big and floating in the air and towering into the clouds.
Kaisha unknowingly came to a sheep pen. The animal inside asked about her smell and immediately ran around in panic, stretching the rope straight and almost jumping out of the sheep pen.
The vendor walked over to scold the animals, while Kesha hurried away.
Suddenly, a trace of blood penetrated into her nose, arousing the desire for flesh and blood of the void skin. The inner layer of the carapace tightened the flesh, which made her feet soft and her invisibility almost relieved.
It wanted to eat, and Kesha subconsciously looked at the source of the bloody smell - a butcher slaughtered a goat in the street and was bleeding it with a wooden barrel.
Kesha bypassed the place and wandered around to a stall and stopped.
Dozens of baskets are filled with all kinds of small objects, including bracelets and necklaces, bracelets and earrings, all of which are very popular with girls.
What Kaisha likes is a wooden comb with silver-plated comb next to it and carved comb, but she just likes this ordinary mahogany comb because it is the cheapest.
However, no matter how cheap she is, she has no money and dares not show up to buy things.
A girl wearing a veil who was no more than two years older than her came over and Kesha quickly moved out of the position. The stall owner and the girl introduced her warmly, and she had no idea that her products were being secretly peeked at.
Kaisha watched the whole time, watching the girl pick and choose at will, and finally chose a shell bracelet that is rare in the desert. After paying the money, she left happily. She suddenly felt envious.
His eyes returned to the wooden comb that the girl didn't even look at, and an idea suddenly popped up in Kaisha's mind: Do you want to take one quietly? No one will notice it.
Kesha was ashamed of her thoughts. Although this was not a valuable item, stealing was wrong.
But she really wanted to bring her comb back to the ground as a souvenir and ask Kane to help her comb her hair, which made her very enjoyable.
She also saw the ear cleaning stick. Maybe it would be more comfortable to clean your ears, but it seemed that it was not suitable for the darkness underground.
There was a dressing mirror next to her, but she didn't dare to look at her face yet. She wasn't sure if she still looked like the little girl in her memory. Kane said she looked very nice, and she didn't want to and dared to verify whether it was true.
Looking back to the comb, Kesha still wanted it the most.
The stall owner suddenly pointed at Kaisha. She was startled and thought she had been discovered.
Then she looked around in a panic and realized that she was referring to a giant beast not far behind her.
The giant beast was Scarash, and it was the first time Kesha had seen it, but I heard from my father before.
Its body is taller than the houses on the street, with four hooves as thin and long as a giraffe, but its neck is as short as a cow, and I don’t know how to drink water from the ground.
Scarash could carry people on his back, and under the control of the rider, it was walking towards the street where Kesha was located.
It's time for Kesha to leave. Her scent might scare the giant beast and cause it to run wild. There are so many pedestrians on the street. If it hits and causes trouble, it's definitely not what she wants to see.
So she planned to leave, but before leaving, she saw the stall owner and the pedestrians on the street looking at Scarash.
In the end, she couldn't resist the temptation and did something bad.
No one noticed a wooden comb that disappeared out of thin air.
She ran on the street, and she was storming a gust of wind as if she was running.
The comb in her hand could not be invisible with her, so she put it in her arms and covered it tightly.
When she arrived at the corner of the market, she moved the mud tank and quietly crawled back into the cracks in the ground.
Looking back, seeing Kane still waiting in the authenticity, Kesha was startled first, and then suddenly her nose felt sore.
