Chapter 34: A Journey to the West City

The Octagonal Building in the West City really sounds like a good place, but in the end, it is fate or the guidance of the elders. Perhaps only Old Yangtou has some premonitions.

"Grandpa, why did Uncle Ma leave? Where is the Octagon Building?"

"Talk too much!"

After Jingqian left, Xi'er accidentally became interested in this matter, because he had never seen his grandfather as melancholy as he was today.

Regarding the Octagonal Building in Xicheng, that place was once built by a large businessman in Mincheng. It is said that the Octagonal Building today was built because of the temporary transfer of the bank account and Cailiang.

However, with the arrival of the Sanlaohui, the Octagonal Building was emptied of people. It only took a year for the place to be guarded by a heavy town until the money was exhausted. But a year later, a nightmare came again, and this time the nightmare caused countless people to fall into In deep pain.

After Ma Jingqian's repeated requests, Ma Baiyi canceled tomorrow's hunting plan, and the three of them looked extremely embarrassed throughout the night.

Yingyue had just prepared the meal, but saw that Baiyi was helpless and kept eating the dry steamed buns noisily. He seemed to be thinking for a long time.

And Ma Jingqian also looked dull this night.

Yingyue looked at the two of them strangely, so she put the food in her hands on the table first, and then pulled Jingqian's sleeves. It took Ma Jingqian a long time to react, and said in a sudden voice: "Sister, it's time to rest!"

Yingyue was very surprised if she didn't care about the question. The two of them usually acted like tigers when they came back from hunting. They had to bang their chopsticks for a long time to get the food on the table, but now they had even forgotten the food.

"What nonsense are you talking about, second brother? All the dishes that I'm good at are served today. There are only two days left for the God Sacrifice Day. I just wanted to reward you two. Can you give me some face? I'll need you on the altar at that time." Please help me!"

"Oh! Girl, I even forgot about the day to worship the gods!" Seeing that Yingyue's expression was not quite right, Jinggan kept smiling and took a bite of the hot food on the plate.

The girl was almost dumbfounded as she watched Jing roll the scalding hot food into her mouth without making a sound? It was eaten after it had cooled down, and the soup inside was so hot that it made your tongue burn.

She quickly stepped forward and locked the chopsticks, and shouted angrily and nervously: "Second brother, are you stupid? It's not like you've never eaten crystal buns before, how can you eat them like this?"

"Oh, sister, I thought they were ordinary steamed buns, hehe!"

Seeing Jing Gan's rude look and her eldest brother still frowning, she must have felt bad, so she turned around and sat down by the kang, folded her arms and rolled her eyes at the two of them.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't had such an embarrassing atmosphere for a long time that Baiyi gradually came to his senses.

The two brothers have always regarded their sister as the apple of their eye, and it was unintentional to make her angry today. Ma Baiyi knew that her sister always had the habit of skipping meals when she was angry.

He picked up a large piece of meat from the bowl and put it into the girl's bowl, and then picked up another piece of meat and put it into the Jinggan bowl.

"I'll go with you tomorrow. I'll go there early and come back early. I don't care if I can sell it at a good price tomorrow. Come and eat the food!"

After all was said and done, Baiyi was still worried about Jingqian insisting on going to the Xicheng Octagon Building, and Jingqian had seen some signs of it.

But what is it like there? Old Yangtou said it was a good place, and Ma Baiyi was so embarrassed. This made Ma Jingqian even more interested, "The Octagonal Tower sounds like a good place. Brother, maybe I can go there tomorrow." It’s sold at a good price. I’ve been coming to Qianjiazhai for so long, and I want to go outside and have a look!”

Ma Jingqian, who seemed to be unconcerned, still retained curiosity about such issues, and Bai Yi became even more uneasy. Thinking back to where he heard the news, he actually shouted to go to the Xicheng Octagon Building as soon as he arrived.

Ma Baiyi did not respond directly to Jingqian's question because he was very conflicted at the moment.

He used to bring some prey there to sell, but in the past few years, the reputation there was not so good, so he stopped going there himself.

Jingqian couldn't resist his curiosity, and said insinuatingly: "There are strange phenomena everywhere in the world. I've seen more than I can tell in my lifetime. I don't want to talk about it. I think there is something else that can make me retreat." ?”

Although these words calmed down Baiyi's obstruction, Baiyi still had lingering fears.

At this time, the girl gradually gained psychological peace from the conversation between the two of them, because Baiyi had told the girl about that place once, but never took her to it again.

She immediately said excitedly: "If my two brothers go tomorrow, can I go and have a look too? I have heard from my brothers for a long time that there is chaos there, and no matter how chaotic it is, there are still two brothers to protect it!"

She didn't know the seriousness of it, and Baiyi didn't say anything because she was afraid that those things would scare the girl.

Picking up a piece of stiff steamed bread, he angrily threw it into the girl's bowl, "What are you messing with? Jing and I will go there tomorrow and we may come back early! The food won't stop your mouth!"

"I'm going. I've been asked to stay at home every day and I haven't seen anything. I heard that the women in the city are beautiful, and I want to see them too!"

Even though there was a bad look on Baiyi's face, the girl still longed to see a world she had never seen before.

Seeing such a request, Jingqian also quickly picked up a piece of meat and put it into Baiyi's bowl, "Let the girl go and have a look with us. Maybe three people can sell it better!"

"What do you know!" The two's unreasonable pleas made Bai Yisha furious. In the middle of the meal, he threw down his chopsticks, put on a cotton robe, went out and wandered in the courtyard.

It wasn't that he didn't want the girl to go, but that place was like hell compared to the quiet Qianjiazhai, and he shuddered every time he thought about it.

There were only two people left in the room. You looked at each other, and I looked at you. After being scolded, Yingyue felt very pricked in her heart, but she had heard Baiyi's warning many times, and that place really couldn't be called a good place. .

After thinking about it, it was precisely because of the temptation that she couldn't go that occupied her heart that she put all her hope on Jingqian, "Second brother, can you ask the eldest brother again? To be honest, I am I haven’t been out here for a long time!”

"Brother, you don't have enough food and salt. It's not like you don't know. I think I'll take you there again if I have a chance in the future!"

Ma Jingqian's answer gave some comfort, and Yingyue suddenly felt full of longing for the city she longed for, "Second brother, will you take Ku Xi'er with you?"

"Maybe!"

After this night, a new day will soon come. One has been looking forward to and dreaming about it all night, but one still doesn't see his smile.

They carefully selected the prey they prepared in advance for a long time, but Jing Qian kept looking at the scenery outside, as if he couldn't wait any longer.
