There is an antique old street in Shicheng. It is said that the number of tourists in its heyday could reach more than 100,000 people a day. However, although it is still crowded with people now, it has long since evolved into a shabby trading market and a black market, selling all sorts of things.
, but there is no human trafficking, which is the most common thing in the last days.
"Good son-in-law! Mom is not bragging to you. Our Zhang family is a big and prestigious family here. Our family owns the largest Hexian restaurant in the city. We can't count the number of second-generation rich people who want to marry my daughter..."
Aunt Wu's new mother-in-law walked in the lead. Her plump waist was so twisted that she looked coquettish and powerful, but she still couldn't hide the embarrassment of her family's backwardness. The three large patches on her trousers were particularly eye-catching. Her delicate daughter was also similar.
A pair of leather shoes were so worn that the heel was almost gone.
"Haha~ I can see that you look like a rich man..."
Aunt Wu just slept with someone else's daughter. It's not hard to be sarcastic, but his new wife is obviously an honest person. She is probably doing the scandalous thing of seducing a man for the first time. She lowered her head and followed behind him with her face flushed, but Aunt Wu laughed again.
Said: "Auntie! These friends of mine have just arrived. Please walk slowly and let them hang out!"
"I've seen it a long time ago, who would be willing to keep a dog now..."
Aunt Zhang slowed down and touched Dahuang's head, and said with a smile: "Have you applied for your residence permit? If not, get it quickly, otherwise you will be found out by the police and will be fined, but you'd better go find it before you apply."
Dacheng from Hulukou, new outsiders come to him for help, he has acquaintances in the police station!"
"Are there many outsiders here? I mean those after the disaster..."
Xia Buyer turned to look at her, and Aunt Zhang smiled again and said: "It's not too many, sometimes three or two, sometimes more than ten or twenty, sometimes I don't meet one for several months, only the first two
Suddenly a large number of people came, maybe five or six hundred people. I heard that they were washed away by some kind of tide, and they escaped by boat from the river!"
"Husband! Corpse claws..."
Xiao Longnu suddenly winked in a low voice. There were several people at the stall in front who were trading. They showed a corpse claw dagger and quickly put it away. Moreover, the costumes of several people looked like adventurers. Xia Buer and others walked over.
Then he asked: "Auntie! Is it allowed to go out to get supplies here?"
"Of course it's allowed, but the town government doesn't encourage or stop it..."
Aunt Zhang nodded and said: "But who has the courage to run out? All the supplies around the canal have been swept away by the army. It is difficult for us to find a needle to come back. Unless we go to those far away and dangerous places, only those with
Only experienced outsiders dare to go out, but they will die more and live less!"
The new daughter-in-law also nodded and said: "Yes! My best friend's boyfriend can't stand the temptation. After he goes out, there will be no one around. Besides, although life in the city is a little poorer, he is still well fed and clothed.
Nuan, why did you run out and risk your life, if it weren't for my dad..."
"We're here! This way..."
Aunt Zhang suddenly pinched her daughter and hurriedly led everyone into a narrow alley. When they arrived outside a magnificent ancient courtyard, she realized that their family was really a wealthy family. The courtyard alone was hundreds of square meters.
The ancient house inside is also very elegantly built. In the past, I am afraid that it would not have been possible to buy it without tens of millions.
"Mom! Why are there so many people here..."
A plump young woman came out of the house, followed by a young man on crutches. After a few steps, he coughed violently. His thin body looked like someone taking drugs. There was also a smell of smoke floating in the yard.
There was a strong smell of Chinese medicine. It was estimated that this young man had been ill for a long time.
"Oh~ come here quickly, this is your little sister's husband, Wu Xinyan..."
Aunt Zhang excitedly introduced the two parties. It turned out that the man and woman were her son and daughter-in-law, but the two of them looked at Aunt Wu with confused expressions, as if they were saying, I just went there
The toilet is just for convenience. Are you two going to get married?
"Why are you still standing there stupidly? This is Xiao Wu's gift to our family, thirty thousand kilograms..."
Aunt Zhang quickly handed over the big bag in her hand, but Aunt Wu didn't show any signs of pain. A bag of medicine was a great deal for a big girl to be her wife, but the couple gasped when they heard the price.
Angry, his expression instantly changed from confused to looking like a fool, and finally turned into ecstatic.
"Brothers, sit down wherever you like. I...I'll go get you some water right now..."
The young woman ran into the house in a panic. Her lame husband also jumped in quickly and took out chairs and benches for Xia Buer and the others to sit on. However, Xia Buer walked into the house with his hands behind his back and took a look at the bedroom.
Sure enough, there was a skinny middle-aged man lying inside. He looked like he was barely dying.
"Auntie! You have to spend a lot of money on medicine every month..."
Xia Buyer walked out and shook his head slightly. There was only an empty shell left in this magnificent ancient house, and everything that could be pawned was pawned. Aunt Zhang said with red eyes: "I won't hide it from you, I
My son used to be a medicine man, and it became even worse after my husband got sick. I...I almost had to sell myself!"
The new daughter-in-law also wiped away her tears and sat on the bench, lowered her head and said miserably: "Brother Xiao Wu! I only did that to you to treat my father and others. If you are afraid of being dragged down by our family, no
You won’t blame you for marrying me, I know very well what my conditions are!”
"Damn! Am I such a heartless person? Since I slept with you, I will be responsible for you. Come over and give your husband a kiss..."
Aunt Wu directly pulled her into his arms and kissed her, which actually made her so excited that she cried with joy. She was so timid that she acted like a baby in his arms for a while. Unexpectedly, Big Taro also said eagerly: "Auntie! You still have more at home.
Is she such a sensible daughter? Introduce one to me and I will give you a gift of 50,000 yuan!"
"I want one too..."
The slingshot boy couldn't wait to raise his hand. Aunt Wu, the little daughter-in-law he met in an affair, is not very beautiful, but such a sensible girl can inspire men's protective desire. But Aunt Zhang said happily: "I am just such a precious daughter.
But we have a lot of neighbors, so I’m going to introduce them to you!”
"Auntie! Don't worry, let's eat first..."
Xia Fujian was afraid that her lunch would turn into a wholesale meeting for daughters-in-law. They came here to investigate the military strength. It would be embarrassing if they were entangled by a group of little girls. Aunt Zhang also said hurriedly: "That's right! I'll do it right now.
Go to the cafeteria to buy food for you, Xiaozhen, please greet them!"
"Bring back some more hairy crabs, this fat man will eat them to death..."
Aunt Wu took out a large bundle of plastic food stamps from her bag. Aunt Zhang immediately ran away with the stamps in surprise. However, the largest denomination of the food stamps here is only ten kilograms, and the smallest one is one or two. The pawn shop cannot afford it.
There were so many ten kilograms of food stamps that almost all the change stamps in the shop were given to him, so he filled several large bags.
"Dog girl! Let's go out for a walk..."
Xia Buer let go of Long Qiu's little hand and walked out. Gou Mei immediately followed her from behind carrying her bag. After the two of them reached a deserted corner, Gou Mei took out the walkie-talkie and put on the headset. They had three groups.
The old fritters are operating in the city, and they will be exposed if anything happens to either party.
"Well! Wait a moment..."
The dog girl quickly covered her earphones and whispered: "The police here are only responsible for public security. If nothing happens, they basically don't check ID cards. The army only helps with security patrols. Two of the three groups have already found a place to stay. It is said that
There are missiles in the military controlled zone!"
"Tell them not to be anxious, find out their strength, and it's best if they can take this place without any bloodshed..."
Xia Buyer crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. The dog girl immediately followed his instructions. After a while, he put away the headset and ended the call, and said: "It seems that this place is really a wild city at the moment, no matter where it is.
Even the forces in charge will not be so lax!"
"Don't be so optimistic..."
Xia Buyer shook his head and said: "We may not know the existence of this place, but it is impossible for the Fuxing Army not to know. They are serious officers and soldiers. They have information on all official resettlement camps. It is better to be careful. Fuxing
Once the army knows we are here, the missiles will fly over immediately!"
After saying that! Xia Buer took him back and wandered around in the lively old street. From time to time, he talked with some vendors. These people were the most well-informed people besides the lady. It was a pity that
It's illegal to look for a young lady here. The two of them walked around a lot but didn't see anyone soliciting customers.
"Little brother! Is your name Wang Baichuan..."
Suddenly! An aunt with heavy makeup stopped Gou Mei. Gou Mei was stunned for a moment before she remembered that this was her pseudonym. After he nodded, the other party smiled and said: "I am your Aunt Zhang's neighbor. I have a niece who not only
She is beautiful and a top student who graduated from a prestigious school. Come with me and go take a look!"
"Let's talk about it after I finish eating..."
Gou Mei shook her head dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Aunt Zhang would act as a matchmaker for him, but he never liked the girls they introduced to him. But the other party said: "Don't miss this good opportunity. This girl is
Brother Dacheng’s niece, you new ones must ask him for help!”
"Let's go and have a look..."
Xia Buer patted the dog girl on the shoulder and followed her. He had heard several people mention Dacheng. They all said that he was a righteous person and the leader of outsiders. He was also very popular with officials. Maybe he would
You can get information from him that ordinary people don't know.
The aunt took them through the streets and alleys with a smile, and soon came to an old residential area. They were all surrounded by private courtyards or second floors, but many people had a leather shoe in front of their door. Xia Bu
Erbian asked in confusion: "What does it mean to put a shoe at the door?"
"Hehe~ This is a place for fun..."
The aunt smiled mysteriously: "Anyone who has shoes can open the door and go in. Those who put high-heeled shoes are young girls. Beautiful ones are expensive. Those who put men's shoes are all married women. They are cheap and have good skills. They just wear broken shoes."
That’s what it means, do you understand?”
"It seems that we have to have local people to lead the way, otherwise we will really have no way to find the way..."
Xia Buer nodded in amazement. Today, he had opened his eyes again. However, before he could finish his words, he heard a scream. A woman fell out of the yard, but she immediately ran away rolling and crawling.
But a man chased out of the yard and shouted: "Catch her quickly, she is a thief!"
The woman ran towards Xia Fujian in panic. She was wearing a big tattered straw hat, a dirty blue overalls, and a black mask on her face. Xia Fujian instinctively turned sideways
He got out of the way, but the moment the other person raised his head and looked at him, he suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity.
"you……"
Xia Buyer looked at the other party's beautiful eyes, and his heart beat violently. He always felt that these eyes came from an old acquaintance, and the other party's eyes widened when he saw him, but the shirtless man shouted and chased him.
When he came over, the woman quickly rushed into an alley and disappeared.
"Is there a scar? Who is this..."
Xia Buyer looked at the alley in surprise. There was a long scar on the other woman's right eyebrow, which had extended to her forehead. But he couldn't seem to remember where he met a woman with such obvious features.
