176 Ghost City
While Mikaka was silently gnawing on bread and eating ham sausages, others were fishing and meat.
Qin Anbang said while eating, "The Shura game a few days ago was so exciting. So, I have something to ask for."
Qi Mu ate quietly, but there was no reaction. Perhaps Qin Anbang's intention was already as expected.
On the way to Shura Field before, Qin Anbang stopped talking.
Today I specially invited them to dinner, which was clearly something to ask for.
Qi Mu didn't say anything. He deliberately pissed his appetite.
But Mikaka couldn't wait to ask, "Old Qin, what are you asking us for?"
Qin Anbang looked at Qi Mu, and he most hoped to get Qi Mu's help.
However, Qi Mu's reaction was too cold. Qin Anbang had to say to Mikaka first, "That's right. Have you heard of the ghost market?"
"Ghost Market?" Mikaka seemed to have heard someone say it before.
"Ghost Market." Xia Zaoan said, "I know. It's a night market."
"You understand again?" Mikaka glanced at her, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Do you think you're going to the night market for midnight snacks."
"You are the ones who don't understand. Zhazhaka."
"Okay. Listen to me first." Qin Anbang saw that the two of them were about to quarrel again, so he hurriedly spoke out to dissuade them.
He told the story in a casual manner.
That happened many years ago. At that time, Qin Anbang was very young, about the same age as Mikaka and his group, only seventeen or eighteen years old. At that time, it was a very poor era. Due to years of severe drought, every household could not get rid of it. Qin Anbang's family was even more poor. After eating, they had no meals, and their mother was ill in bed. She really couldn't find food, so she even sold the only cow in the family. But even so, she couldn't last long.
Seeing that his family was so poor that he couldn't afford to eat, Qin Anbang thought of digging some herbs in the mountains to sell them on the market to subsidize their family income.
That day he brought his sister to the deep mountains and forests not far from home.
His sister's name is Achun. She is a little girl of seven or eight years old. She looks cute. The two brothers and sisters did not tell their parents about going into the mountains to collect herbs, because their parents said that there were monsters in the deep mountain and they were not allowed to get close.
It is precisely because it is a forbidden zone for humans that the deep mountains are like a natural treasure house, with rich vegetation and animals being seen everywhere, and many fruits can be picked up on the road to eat. The two brothers and sisters were overjoyed, looking for herbs while going deeper into the mountain.
Before they knew it, it became dark. When they picked a basket of herbs slowly and planned to leave the deep mountains and forests, they could not find the way out.
"Wuwu. Brother. I'm afraid." Achun was timid and cried in fear.
Night had already fallen, the stars were densely covered in the sky, and the moonlight was almost covered by the dense shade of trees. Qin Anbang was also deflated. It was pitch black around him, and he could not see his five fingers. It seemed that there was a faint howl of wolves around him, which was too cunning.
The two brothers and sisters snuggled together, thinking about climbing onto the trees and waiting until dawn tomorrow to find a way out of the mountain.
But at this time, Achun seemed to have discovered something and pointed at the distance.
"Brother. Look!"
Qin Anbang looked up and saw a light faintly appearing in the depths of the woods.
The light attracted the two brothers and sisters and walked over.
The closer they were, the more surprised they were.
Because what appears in front of you is a bustling night market.
The streets are brightly lit, and various types of shops and stalls are almost the same as the nights of the shop streets in human society, so lively.
Who would have thought that there would be such a place in the deep mountains where no one set foot.
"Brother, I'm afraid." Achun and Qin Anbang stood at the entrance of the night market, nervous.
Because, they found that the people who appeared in this night market were not ordinary humans.
The streets were bustling with people, some looked like elf-like ears, some were dragging their tails, some were like fox fairies, and some were zombies, wearing official uniforms and sticking to spells, jumping over them.
Is this night market a monster's night market?!
"Brother? What should I do?" Achun grabbed the corner of Qin Anbang's clothes, not knowing what to do.
Go in. It feels very adventurous.
Don't go in. The forest outside is also dangerous.
At that time, Qin Anbang was also young and energetic. Since he was here, he would not leave.
He pulled his sister and walked in.
Follow the crowd, look here and there.
Soon, they were discovered because they had a human breath.
The other monsters looked sideways and pointed at each other, which made Qin Anbang and Achun feel very uncomfortable.
"Brother, let's leave here early. This place is so scary." Achun said.
"Not afraid. If they dare to be bad for us, I will fight with them. Don't worry, sister, I will protect you." Qin Anbang held the hatchet and said he was not afraid, that was a lie. His palms were covered with cold sweat.
Fortunately, the monsters don't seem to be interested in them.
It is also possible that humans occasionally break into this night market. So, it’s no wonder.
The two brothers and sisters walked around for a while, and suddenly they were stopped.
"Those two human little brothers and little sisters, please stay."
Looking back, it was a man wearing businessman's clothes, about thirties, and his eyes were quite cunning.
"Did you call us?"
"That's right." The man walked over, "How did you break into the ghost market?"
"Ghost Market?"
Hearing this name, the two brothers and sisters were shocked. They were filled with ghost words, and it sounded full of strangeness. Achun hid behind her nervously. The man looked at her and smiled.
"You don't have to be afraid. Although this is a ghost market, you won't kill it when you see humans. Because there are rules for ghost markets."
“What rules?”
"Here, you can trade anything." The man smiled slightly.
"Anything?"
"Yeah." The man nodded.
Qin Anbang wanted to trade, but his whole body was worth only this little herb. It just saved the effort of selling it at the market tomorrow.
Just trade here.
"Then, do you collect these herbs, brother? If the price is appropriate."
"Haha." The man smiled. "Little brother, this kind of thing is probably not popular here."
"Then I have nothing to trade."
"Of course there is. It's just that you didn't find it."
"Ah?" Qin Anbang was stunned.
The man took his hand and quietly walked aside, leaving Achun to stay where he was.
