It is different from the affluent south of the city, the city where nobles gather, and the busy east of the city.
Because it is located in a corner in the west of Guangzhou City, and going west from here is the endless mountains, so those who live here are basically the poorest people in Guangzhou City.
Of course, this is also easy to understand.
Due to various reasons brought about by history, the walls of Guangzhou City have long been in ruins! This makes some wild beasts in the mountains often run to the west of the city closest to them to have a tooth sacrifice when they are hungry.
Therefore, in Guangzhou City, anyone who has some money in their hands will gather towards the south or even the north of the city. After all, no one wants to finish eating hot pot and singing songs, and suddenly see a tiger breaking into the house and making himself into a
A sad feast dinner…
For the sake of their own lives, the wealthy people moved away from the west of the city early and gave it to poor families who could not afford to buy real estate elsewhere. Therefore, over time, the west of the city became a place similar to the slums of later generations.
Whether it's the past life or this life.
Slums like this are basically the most chaotic places in a city, and the west of Guangzhou is no exception.
Simple shacks built with a few logs were crowded together, with smelly sewage flowing freely in front of the door.
Not far from the shack, there is a huge garbage dump. A group of flat-bellied mangy dogs are constantly tossing and turning in the garbage dump, hoping to find a little bit of food to satisfy their hunger.
However, in this place where people don’t have enough to eat, how can there be any food for them to enjoy? So it often takes a long time to dig out something edible, and then several dogs will immediately swarm up and compete with each other.
"Woof woof woof..."
In the darkness, several dogs barked and fought for a piece of moldy steamed bun.
At the edge of the garbage dump, a man who had just entered a prostitute's house with a half-open door might have been disturbed by the barking of a dog. He angrily picked up his pants and rushed out the door. He picked up the stones on the road and headed towards the dog because he didn't get the food.
, and throw away the whimpering wild dog!
"Quick!"
"Ouch~"
The poor wild dog was hit by a stone, howled, and quickly ran away into the darkness with its tail between its legs.
"Hahaha……"
The man who had just come out of the house laughed loudly, seeming to have forgotten the sluggishness he had just felt with the prostitute. However, before his laughter could attract the curses from the surrounding residents, a high-pitched scream came from behind him.
There was a sudden sound.
"It's gone!!!"
I couldn't tell who was the first to shout these three words, and soon after, the whole shanty town became chaotic!
Countless disheveled residents rushed out of the house, without saying a word, carrying buckets, clay pots and other water-containing tools, and rushed towards the place where the fire broke out!
In this kind of mixed-race place, fires are not a rare thing at all. They happen once or twice every month, so the residents here are used to this kind of thing. Even fire-fighting operations are very familiar.
After all, here, everyone's houses are crowded together. If you don't put out the fire quickly, the fire will soon spread into one fire and burn all your remaining belongings. Therefore, when facing the fire,
, there was no disgusting thing happening just by sitting back and watching.
"Put out the fire quickly, put out the fire quickly!"
"Hurry up and splash water over there! Oops! You street boy! What time has it been? Why are you still in a daze!"
In front of the sudden fire, countless people, like the ants, came forward carrying various pots and pans to put out the fire. In the chaos, various local slangs were heard endlessly!
As for the second boy next door, he just stared blankly at Widow Song who ran out of the house in a hurry without wearing any clothes. He was slapped on the back of the head by a man, which almost made his eyes wide open.
Photograph it too!
"What a fool! I knew you were having an affair with her, but now I can't even take a look at it?"
Children from poor families are all precocious. After being slapped, not only were they not afraid, but they dared to turn around and curse! Needless to say, the result was that the angry man naturally raised his palm high again.
"Why does this fire feel a little strange?"
Finally, with the efforts of countless people, the fire was slowly extinguished. Seeing a wisp of smoke rising slowly from the ruins, an elderly neighbor put down the bucket of rancid water in his hand and frowned at the place where the fire started.
There, apart from several houses that were later affected, the first thing to burst into flames was a shanty town that had long been uninhabited.
"How could there be a fire if no one lives there? Is it someone's naughty child who is playing with fire?"
The old man murmured to himself, but before he could figure it out, in the distance behind everyone, there was another woman's scream: "There's water here too! Someone come quickly! Someone come quickly!"
The west side of the city is on fire tonight!
Countless fires burst out from everywhere! Often when one place is extinguished, another one ignites again.
Seeing this scene, even the most stupid person will know that someone is deliberately setting a fire!
"Oh my god, we are already like this, why are you still treating us like this!" During the fire, the old man who was the first to notice something was wrong burst into tears and almost fainted.
Next, the old county magistrate, who led his government officials, peasants, and even horsemen and servants to put out the fire, came to the west of the city. When he saw the fire that dyed the entire night sky red in front of him, his eyes were filled with tears!
Staggering forward a few steps, the old county magistrate supported a big tree on the side of the road, faced the red sky and earth, and roared with all his strength: "Evil thief!"
Immediately, the whole person tilted and fell to the ground. In his last sight, he could only see the helpless residents pouring buckets of water in vain on the mountain-high flames.

"Xiao Han, why do I always feel like something is happening?"
Just when the city of Guangzhou was in chaos, in a Miao village dozens of miles away from the city, Ren Qing looked at the night sky outside with an uneasy expression and said to Xiao Han.
He didn't know what was going on, but from the very beginning, he had a sudden heart palpitations, and he always felt like something had happened.
"What could happen? Are you afraid that some Miao village elder will feed us two pounds of Gu worms?" Xiao Han, who had not been seen all afternoon, was lying on a hammock, rolled his eyes, and said indifferently.
"Two kilograms? Do you think that's rice?" Liu Hongji, a good friend of Xiao Han, heard this and said angrily: "I heard that the gold of the Gu insects in the Miao village is very expensive, and some of them are dead.
In his lifetime, he can only raise one or two."
"Isn't this the end?" Xiao Han twisted his body and let the hammock sway slightly. With the squeaking sound, he said quietly: "Since that thing is so precious, don't listen to that little
Nizi is trying to scare you! Humph, are you feeding us bugs? Do you really think I’m afraid of that thing?”
"Aren't you afraid? Then when you ate just now, why were you only willing to eat rice? Those dishes and soup, why didn't you move your chopsticks?"
