A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Zhang Yu's sudden phone call undoubtedly cast a shadow over Fang Shiqing's heart.But now that the person had left, it was too late to ask what he meant, so he could only temporarily suppress his doubts and walk to the black market according to the original plan.

It was a long way from here to the black market, he walked slowly all the way, and finally calmed down a little.

No matter what the relationship between Xiao Fengdi and that NPC was, it was still his private matter, and he had no right to pry into it, let alone inquire.However, Zhang Yu's performance must be explained to Xiao Fengdi, so that he can pay more attention.

The process of entering the black market map was smooth.This time he went straight to the potion booth, bought double servings of the growth potion, and then started to walk around; with the experience of last time, he was much more comfortable walking around this time.

The streets of the black market are arranged in the shape of "口", the four streets are connected end to end, and the arrangement of stalls seems to have a certain pattern.On the inner side of the street, there are buildings lined up high and low with blue bricks and white tiles.

Fang Shiqing originally thought that these buildings were similar to the scene modeling in 3D games. They could not enter, but could only look at them from the outside.Unexpectedly, when he was walking along the street, he actually saw a figure passing between the gaps between the buildings.

Is it possible to pass through there?

He tried to stretch out his hand into the one-person-wide alley, but he didn't hear the "this operation cannot be performed" prompt, so he began to squeeze in with confidence.

Before he could go in completely, the stall owner next to him suddenly grabbed him: "Wait, young man, you are not allowed to enter here."

"—Hey?" Fang Shiqing was stunned, and looked at the NPC, "Why, no, why do you say that?"

The NPC didn't explain, but just smiled and said, "If you run around, you will be fined if you are caught by the guards."

"..." Fang Shiqing immediately closed his mouth.

He repeatedly recalled the figure he had just seen in the alley.It was a white and light shadow, which seemed to be a woman at first glance; he always felt that shadow was familiar, but for a while he couldn't think of who could appear in such a place.

"It seems that we are destined, would you like to take a look at my goods?" At this time, the stall owner warmly greeted again, "I can guarantee that my things are the only ones in the whole black market. .”

"..." The NPC didn't mean to bluff him on purpose to solicit customers.

But since the other party said so, he squatted down and took a look.After a look, I was surprised to find that the things here are really interesting.

There is only one product on the booth, and the label name is "copy machine".The stall owner demonstrated the effect on the spot: he put a roll of cotton cloth and a roll of thread on the left, a piece of clothing on the right, and then started the machine - a white light flashed, and after a few seconds, the cotton cloth turned into a An identical dress.

"Fuck?!" What kind of black technology is this? !

This thing is a veritable "copy" machine, as long as there are raw materials, it can directly copy the finished product exactly, which can greatly save processing time.If this thing can be applied in the factory, wouldn't it be impossible to use the assembly line at all!

Fortunately, he discovered in time that this kind of black technology props also have different levels.The lowest-level white copy machine can only copy things that cost less than 5000 yuan. For handicrafts that cost tens of thousands of yuan, you need the most advanced gold copy machine.

Even so, this stuff is pretty awesome.

"How much?" He asked, pointing at the white quality props.

When he asked, he didn't really hold out any hope that he would be able to afford it.Unexpectedly, the stall owner immediately said: "If you want it, take it for one hundred thousand."

- It's a little too cheap for what it's worth.Fang Shiqing asked cautiously: "This thing is not a consumable, is it?"

"No, how could it be possible," the stall owner said immediately, "I've given you a [-]% discount to see if you have a good eye."

As the saying goes, cheap is not good.Besides, the stranger who met for the first time had no eye for anything. Fang Shiqing suddenly felt extremely suspicious, so he asked a few more words: "Then, there shouldn't be any hidden dangers in it?"

"No, of course not. Who dares to sell fakes in the black market? Are you going to buy it or not? Come on."

While talking, the stall owner stood up.Fang Shiqing was startled at first, but found that the NPC didn't pay much attention to him, but kept looking around, looking suspicious.

What's the matter, are you afraid that someone will come to rob you?

"Then...then buy it," Fang Shiqing thought about it, and in the end he still had a fluke mentality. After all, this thing looks so amazing, "But I have to try it first after paying the money."

The stall owner readily agreed.

Fang Shiqing held the copy machine in his hand, and rummaged through the props bar for anything that could be used for verification.Just then, there was a loud commotion from the end of the street——

A group of tall and burly men rushed over.They wore uniform black uniforms and sunglasses. Their clothes looked like urban management, and their faces looked like bodyguards.They are of different sizes, but their running movements are uniform, and they look quite imposing.

"It's a guard!" The NPC next to him screamed strangely, put away the stall, turned around and ran away.

Before Fang Shiqing could react, he felt a gust of wind and black shadows passing by.He was stunned for a few seconds before turning around, only to see that the NPC stall owner had been pinned to the ground tens of meters away, with a frustrated look on his face.

How is this going?He was stunned.

The nearby players turned a blind eye, but the NPCs were talking about it: "It's the guard, what did that new guy do, how did he provoke the guard?" Ah." "Probably, alas, there are always some blind people who want to challenge the rules of the black market..."

guard?Are those in black and sunglasses the guards?The guards of the black market are equivalent to the security guards in reality, right?

Fang Shiqing's jaw was about to drop.A "guard" came out of the crowd, came to him, and extended his hand politely——

"Please come with us."

In this way, Fang Shiqing was inexplicably brought into the management room of the black market.The guards confiscated all "dangerous items" on him (even in the inventory), handed him over to the staff, and questioned him for a long time.

He stayed in there until 03:30 to sort things out.

The duplicator sold by the NPC stall owner was actually stolen from "another area of ​​the black market" by him!The stall owner himself is a thief, and he is selling stolen goods... because he is eager to get rid of it, so he keeps the price very low.

I didn't expect that there would be thieves among NPCs.

Fang Shiqing was also considered a victim, but since the things he bought were stolen goods, of course he had to return them.He felt very sorry, and even wanted to find out who the owner was, to see if there was a chance to buy one directly from the owner in the future, but was told that it was impossible.

"This is a product sold in the inner area, and in principle, it is forbidden to circulate to the outer area." The black market staff replied.

The so-called "inner area" is the middle position surrounded by "kou"-shaped streets.

Fang Shiqing was very reconciled, and asked how to go shopping in the inner area, but the staff said that he would never go anyway, and even if he did, he would not have the right to buy things.

The other party's words were still unclear, and it took him a long time to figure it out: the outer area of ​​the black market is where NPCs set up stalls and players shop, while the inner area is where players set up stalls for business and NPCs shop.

Players are not allowed to directly contact and communicate with sellers who are also players, so it is impossible to buy things in the inner zone anyway.

No wonder the shop manager Zhang disappeared after bringing him here. It seems that he went directly to the inner area for shopping.

As a result, after half an afternoon of tossing, there was almost no gain.When leaving the black market, Fang Shiqing was somewhat depressed.

Leaving the small shack at the entrance, the sky outside was gray.Standing at the door, he suddenly felt something cold fall on his face——

Snowing.

On the first day of winter, it snowed in the neighboring town.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and when he rushed back to the vicinity of the bus, it had turned into a heavy snow.Snow flakes fell one after another, and a thin layer quickly formed on the ground, which creaked when stepped on.

The bus was surrounded by passengers from Fengyue Town, making a lot of noise.Carpenter Qi was talking to the driver, and his attitude was a bit fierce; Zhang Yu stood beside the store manager, seemed to glance at him, but quickly turned his head away.

Fang Shiqing saw Xiao Fengdi standing alone, as if he was lost in thought.He hesitated for a moment, but walked over anyway.

"Boss, thank you very much for today." He took off the scarf and handed it over with both hands.

Xiao Fengdi turned his head to look at him, but didn't reach out to take it.

"You keep it for now."

"No need, I'll go back right away, the car is not cold... I will buy one myself after I go back."

"..."

Hearing this, Xiao Fengdi shook his head with a slightly complicated expression.

"Keep it for now." He said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back today."

"Hey?"

"Isn't it snowing?" Xiao Fengdi glanced at the still gloomy sky, "The driver said that the road conditions were not good in snowy weather, so he dared not drive on mountain roads and insisted on waiting for the snow to stop. This is what they are arguing about now." No matter, but his attitude is very firm."

——No.

Fang Shiqing was dumbfounded.

It makes sense to say so, the snowy Tianshan Road is definitely not easy to walk, but, but the snow obviously won't stop for a while.If they can't leave before four o'clock, they won't be able to reach Fengyue Town before dark, that is to say... They have such a large group of people, they can only spend the night in a neighboring town?

This... I don't know the place where I live, where do I live?Is there a hotel in the neighboring town?

Fang Shiqing opened the map and looked around, but he didn't see any buildings that looked like "hotels".Thinking about it carefully, there is no hotel in Fengyue Town. Occasionally, there are outsiders, either staying at relatives and friends’ homes or temporarily living in bars. Isn’t it the same in neighboring towns?Could it be that they have to go to the bar to ask if they can stay?

"So wrap it around first, don't rush to return it to me." Xiao Fengdi took the scarf and wrapped it around his neck again.

His fingers touched Fang Shiqing's face intentionally or unintentionally, and Fang Shiqing came back to his senses: "Then, should we find a place to live now?"

"It seems so."

While they were talking, the dispute in the bus finally came to a conclusion.The passengers sighed and complained, and soon dispersed. The driver checked the condition of the car one last time, and then left the station.

"Hey, young man, are you still leaving?" Store manager Zhang took Zhang Yu and was about to leave when he saw the two of them still standing there, "Don't wait, look at the day and the snow, I'm sure we won't be able to leave today. "

It was probably Fang Shiqing's bitter face, and he immediately reacted: "Oh, you all came from other places this year. You don't have a house or relatives in the neighboring town, right? Don't you know where to go now? "

Hearing "relatives", Fang Shiqing couldn't help but glanced at Xiao Fengdi, but there was no wavering on his face.

He looked at Zhang Yu again, who was standing behind his father, lowering his head and pawing at the snow on the ground with his toes.

"Well... I really don't know, we are not familiar with this place, do you know where we can live?"

"You're asking the right person!" Manager Zhang became more enthusiastic.

"Why don't you go with us? Xiaoyu's uncle lives here. His house is big, and sometimes he also runs a B&B. It's not a problem to live with a few more people. —Of course," he added, " I will help you negotiate with him and give you a discount on the rent."

... Isn't he just helping a relative's homestay to solicit guests.

Fang Shiqing couldn't make up his mind, so he turned his head to look at Xiao Fengdi again.Speaking of which, the two of them didn't even come together in the same way, but at this time, no matter whether he himself or others, they subconsciously classified the two of them as a bunch.

Xiao Fengdi seemed to be thinking too, but didn't immediately agree.Fang Shiqing vaguely felt that he seemed to have some concerns.

"There are only three homestays in the neighboring town, and our home is definitely the best," Store Manager Zhang said, "Many people in the town will live there. If you don't believe me, come and see with me?"

"Then let's go too." Xiao Fengdi finally let go.
