Chapter seven hundred and seventy-ninth worship the neighbors
With He Xie's sharp ears and eyes, how could he hide the opinions of the neighbors from him?
He Xie had already anticipated his new identity, which was hated by gods and ghosts.
These days, the police are just like thieves who wear black clothes and cheat and steal. They are more unscrupulous and greedy than thieves. They are not welcome wherever they go.
However, he didn't care about this. He didn't seem to notice the disgust and respectful attitude of the neighbors towards him. He smiled and started to pay homage to the neighbors.
I still went to Chen Suiyuan's grocery store across the street first and bought a lot of pots and pans and a lot of daily necessities.
"Shopkeeper Chen, my surname is He, please take care of me in the future." He Xie paid with a smile.
"I don't dare, I don't dare..." Shopkeeper Chen declined in fear, "Captain He, how dare this villain take your money? I will treat you as a villain who respects you..."
He Xie couldn't help but push the money to him, patted his hand and said with a smile: "Put the things here, I will ask someone to move them later."
After that, without looking at Shopkeeper Chen's increasingly panicked eyes, he walked out the door with his hands behind his back.
Next door to Chen Suiyuan's grocery store is a snack shop called "Porridge and Noodle Oil Equipment". A stooped middle-aged man with thinning hair is standing at the door. He bows to him with a smile on his face: "The caressing of a dog is particularly bad, police officer."
He Xie nodded to him with a smile, walked into the shop, ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles and ten fried dough sticks, and ate them all with a slurp.
After finishing the meal, He Xie put the money on the table and said with a smile: "It tastes good, Agui."
"Hey, officer, how did this happen?" Agui hurriedly wiped his hands with his apron and came over, "No money, no money."
"Yes." He Xie stood up, "My surname is He, Agui. Please take good care of me in the future."
"I don't dare, I don't dare. It's your duty to take care of the little ones." Agui bowed repeatedly.
He Xie smiled and went out with his hands behind his back.
A Gui looked at He Xie's back with a strange look in his eyes.
Next to A Gui's shop was a stall selling calligraphy and painting. The owner was a young man who looked a bit dazed and elegant. He Xie went in and bought two calligraphy paintings. He said the same thing and went to the next shop.
He bought two quilts and still told his boss that the things would be moved later.
Next, there is the "Daguan Tailor Shop" tailor shop. The owner is called A Sheng, the white-skinned and distinctive Rabbit Man.
He Xie went in and chatted with him for a few words, ordered two sets of suits and two sets of Tang suits, and was sent out by Ah Sheng.
It took nearly an hour for He Xie to browse all the shops in the Pig Cage Walled City. He bought something in each shop and became familiar with the neighbors.
During this period, he also saw the coquettishly dressed buck-toothed Zhen and the even more coquettish Jiang Bao.
Finally, he went to the Tailong Grain, Oil and Rice Shop and bought a bag of rice, noodles and various miscellaneous grains.
"Shopkeeper Song, do you want to deliver the goods?" This time he didn't leave after buying the things, but asked with a smile.
"Send it to you, of course!" Storekeeper Song quickly apologized and said, "The coolie is strong, the coolie is strong, it's delivered!"
A strong-looking man with a white towel wrapped around his head walked in. He glanced at He Xie and immediately lowered his head.
"Captain He, don't be offended. This coolie is just a bully. He can't be beaten by three benches. Let me say hello to you on his behalf." Shopkeeper Song explained hurriedly.
He Xie waved his hand, took out a bill and handed it to Kuili Qiang, and said with a smile: "I have ordered a lot of things, please help me move them later."
Ku Liqiang raised his head and glanced at He Xie, hesitated slightly, took the money and nodded: "Okay."
He Xie smiled, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
Ku Liqiang looked at He Xie's back with a strange look on his face.
"What are you looking at?" Shopkeeper Song pushed him angrily, "How can someone with black leather be good? He is just a weasel paying New Year greetings to a chicken, and he has no good intentions! Humph, you have to be careful, you can't tell where he is.
I’m cheating on you.”
"I can't see it." Coolie said in a low voice.
"If you could see it correctly, you wouldn't have to do hard labor anymore." Shopkeeper Song sneered, "Hurry up and get to work!"
Returning to the security room, He Xie couldn't help but smile.
After walking around in such a circle just now, he basically touched the bottom of everyone he met.
Overall, the Pig Cage Walled City is really like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
In addition to Tailor Ah Sheng, Fried Ah Gui and Coolie Qiang, there are many people here who know martial arts.
The martial arts in this world are different from internal strength, but integrate all the strength into the physical body. It is more appropriately called "jin".
But it’s not the kind of strength that comes from martial arts, but the “jin” that integrates all the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit into the physical body.
This was another kind of martial arts development that He Xie had never been exposed to before, and He Xie was amazed.
Ten minutes later, Coolie Qiang started delivering goods to the police station, and He Xie started to be busy again. The things Coolie Qiang brought in were quickly packed away by him.
In the next few days, He Xie wandered around the walled city during the day and used the Supreme Lord of the Rings to hone his spiritual power at night.
The power of the Supreme Lord of the Rings in this world seems to have been weakened a lot. He Xie can use it to practice for half an hour every day, and his mental power increases rapidly.
He was not in a hurry to explore the world, nor was he in a hurry to find the protagonist of this world, Axing. He just hid in the market and silently accumulated his strength.
The injuries he suffered in the last world have been completely healed. His martial arts has also grown slightly, and his internal energy has become purer. The internal energy in his Dantian seems to have liquefied, becoming more viscous and like substance.
The neighbors in the Pig Cage Walled City also began to slowly let down their vigilance against He Xie, knowing that Captain He spent money lavishly, wandered around all day long, and was harmless to humans and animals.
He Xie also met gang members here. These gang members were also from Zhulong City. When they returned home, they didn't have any arrogant words and deeds. They were all wearing short coats and didn't look like gangsters.
Like a coolie.
He Xie later found out that these people were all members of the Crocodile Gang, and the people in the Pig Cage Walled City actually paid part of the money to the Crocodile Gang every year and were protected by it.
"It's really strange. Captain He is really a good person?" The charterer was lying at the window, looking puzzledly at He Xie downstairs passing by the patio, greeting the neighbors familiarly, with a smile on her face.
"A black person is just a layer of skin. There is no rule that says a black person must be a bad person, right?" The charterer, who was blushing after drinking, said indifferently while burping from the wine.
"Do you think he will be like us?" the charterer suddenly asked.
The charterer was stunned and asked tentatively: "Do you want me to try him?"
The charterer hesitated a little, but finally shook her head: "Forget it, no matter who he is, it has nothing to do with us."
Half a month had passed since He Xie's peaceful days. That afternoon, when the sky was dark, a postman brought a message, saying that he was asked to come over by the Concession Police Station.
