Chapter 116: Entering Sword City for the first time!
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the cold wind hurts like a knife on my face...
Two brothers, Geng Mo and Lin Chong, were wearing tattered cotton-padded jackets and squatting in the corner of someone else's house... At first glance, they looked just like beggars on the roadside.
The two brothers squatted here all night last night, and they were almost frozen into ice sculptures...!
There are ruts on the road, and this Sword City is far more modern than Xunbo City.
In just half a day, Geng Mo saw several power vehicles. As for the raw material, it was naturally the white crystal unique to the Emperor Xin Kingdom.
Talent is found everywhere.
...
Half a month ago, that morning when Geng Mo left Xuanbo City.
Wang Qiong once told him that Uncle Tian had left a message... asking them to come to Sword City to find a man named Li Yang, who was the owner of a cement factory.
But it was snowing so heavily that, let alone looking for someone, when I entered the city gate I was almost kicked out as a beggar...
Jiang Ying was left behind in Monkey Mountain by Geng Mo. Geng Mo promised to pick her up as soon as she found a place to stay...
In fact, Geng Mo knows that Jiang Ying has a lot of thoughts. Now Jiang Ying can't find anything wrong with her, regardless of her figure, appearance, or intelligence.
But every time Geng Mo looked at her, he still felt inexplicably heartbroken...
It's been almost five years, and he still can't pass his level.
...
The snow on the road is packed so hard that you can slide far away if you step on it...
Looking at the people passing by on the street, Geng Mo gathered up his tattered cotton-padded jacket and looked at Lin Chong, whose hands were red with tears: "Shall we find a place to stay?"
Lin Chong has always had a dull personality since Xiaosha's death. Although he sometimes gets confused, he seems to be much more reliable than before.
Hearing Geng Mo calling him, Lin Chong took a deep breath of snot that was about to fall off his nose, tilted his head, and urged with cute eyes: "Brother, hurry up."
Geng Mo stared: "Where are we going?"
"You are the brother, you can just follow the arrangements." Lin Chong's eyes were a little dodgey: "I can do it..."
Geng Mo squinted his eyes and looked at the steaming bun shop opposite, his eyes burning: "Are you hungry?"
"Hungry..."
"I'm hungry too..." After finishing speaking, Geng Mo rolled up his sleeves and remained silent.
Lin Chong stretched out his stiff legs, glanced sideways at Geng Mo, and kept his head silent. The atmosphere was frozen for a moment.
After a while,
Lin Chong: "Brother, I'm really hungry."
"Yeah," Geng Mo nodded, as if thoughtfully...
"No, you should say something!" Lin Chong frowned and glared at him.
"Look," Geng Mo pointed at the pedestrians and vehicles on the road: "They are all richer than us, they have enough to eat, and they have hot beds to sleep on at night, right?"
"Yeah..." Lin Chong sniffed hard, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Brother, let's do a deal?!"
"Yeah." Geng Mo nodded.
Lin Chong suddenly became energetic and his eyes glowed with blue light.
Brother Mo's force value is incredible!...Lin Chong stared at the few pedestrians on the road, mentally analyzing which one was richer?!
"Brother Mo, do you think that's okay?" Lin Chong bumped Geng Mo with his shoulder and pointed at a bloated middle-aged man wearing fur not far in front and asked.
"No." Geng Mo shook his head.
"What's wrong?!"
Lin Chong glanced at Geng Mo in confusion... He had always been very confident in his vision. The man wearing fur with a bulging waist must have something.
Geng Mo moved his neck and looked at Lin Chong slowly...
"What do you mean?" Lin Chong shrank into the corner: "Can you give me a quick word...?!"
Flexing his wrists, Geng Mo stood up slowly: "Chong'er, you see it's quite cold today. How about we compare?"
"Fuck!" Lin Chong was startled, and his hair stood on end instantly. He backed away several times: "I can't fuck you...!"
Geng Mo raised his eyebrows and took a step closer with a smile: "I have one hand???"
"I can't beat you even if you stand still!" Lin Chong got up and was about to run, but was grabbed by the latter...
"I understand," Lin Chong slapped Geng Mo's hand away and pointed at his nose: "Are you trying to rob me...?!"
"Yes!" Geng Mo responded with bared teeth.
"I have no money..." Lin Chong shook his head blankly, looking around, waiting for an opportunity to escape...
"Then let's talk about it, shall we?" Geng Mo smiled and approached him.
"Stop!" Lin Chong raised his hands in great depression and squinted back: "I'll give it... I'll give it, can't you?!"
Geng Mo smiled and patted his shoulder, and habitually put his hand into his pocket to take out a cigarette, but suddenly remembered that he had finished smoking a day ago...
Lin Chong blinked with resentful eyes, put his hand into his crotch and fumbled for a long time before pulling out two smelly banknotes.
"there is none left?"
Geng Mo took the bank note with a squinting eye and shook it in the wind... After another look, it looked good, I got two hundred taels!
"No more!" Lin Chong covered his crotch, almost crying... "I'm gone even if you beat me to death."
"If you don't use it in vain, I will make money to pay you back." Geng Mo gave him a kind smile, but he was muttering in his heart...
How can we settle down the two brothers with this little money?
...
Geng Mo walked to the steamed bun shop across the street and spent one tael of silver to buy three warm white flour steamed buns and five cabbage steamed buns. He wrapped them separately in brown paper, and then ate one steamed bun while facing Lin Chong's direction...
He ate this steamed bun very slowly. From a distance, it looked like he had been eating it for a long time...
After eating, he put the remaining two steamed buns into his pocket and put them close to his body.
Just when Lin Chong was so greedy that he almost swallowed his tongue... Geng Mo came back. He smiled and handed over the paper bag containing five vegetable buns: "Eat it."
"Okay!" Seeing that there was something to eat, Lin Chong grabbed it and wolfed it down: "How many did you eat?"
"Eight." Geng Mo smiled, grabbed the relatively clean snow from the wall, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed: "Eat quickly, while it's still early, we have to find a house to live in first."
...
As dusk approached, Geng Mo led Lin Chong down several streets... He also asked numerous homeowners, but was rejected by all of them.
The main reason is that they are too shabby, and others dislike them as much as they are looking for thieves.
"Let's look for it again." Geng Mo stamped his feet and walked into a muddy alley next to him...
"Dingling Bell ..." A crisp car ringing sounded behind them. Geng Mo heard the sound back, but saw that a little girl in about ten years old was pushing an old car in a laborious manner.
Although it was freezing cold, the little girl in thin clothes was struggling to push the cart, and her head was steaming like Shengxian... Although she was young, there was a lot of energy in her eyes.
At this moment, Geng Mo seemed to see his former self.
The bell was also rang by the little girl. She saw someone blocking the road in the alley: "Uncle, would you give me a way?"
"uncle?"
Geng Mo touched the stubble on his chin and smiled.
The little girl wiped the sweat from her head, turned around and lifted up the cotton-padded jacket for the old man in the car: "Grandma, don't worry, we'll be home soon."
