The capital is square and square. Except for the imperial city in the north, several other areas have their own squares and entertainment venues to meet the material and spiritual needs of different classes.

The place where Xiao Chuan went to wander was the Qinlou Chu Pavilion set up by the government in the northwest of the city. The girls and boys in it were all criminals who were exiled from their homes. Polite, won the favor of men in the upper class.

On the other hand, the south of the city is a place where ordinary residents and foreigners gather. There are three religions and nine streams, dragons and snakes are mixed, the environment is more complicated, and the public security is not very good.

But because of this, the market here is also the most lively.

Bai Chen has just arrived at the intersection, looking around, the street is full of people, shoulder to shoulder, businessmen yelling loudly, passers-by bargaining for money, and occasionally you can see red-haired, black-eyed or black-haired, golden-eyed aliens holding hands. Camels pass by.There are no stalls here, as long as you have the permission from the government, everyone will put down their burdens and do business, the old man who makes sugar, the young salesman who sells rouge and gouache, the black and thin farmers who come all the way from outside the city with fresh fruits and vegetables on their backs, and so on. There are alien merchants who bring beautiful alien dancers to find buyers...

All these make up a vivid picture of city life.

"You still have the foresight." Bai Chen looked down, fortunately he changed into the coarse clothes Xiao Lin gave him before going out, otherwise it would be too high-profile to come to Nancheng in silk and satin.

Xiao Lin was also wearing a blue coarse cloth gown, and he even added a play to himself - holding a cane in his hand, a goatee stuck to his chin, and he staggered a bit when he walked.

Looks like a... handsome old man who was handsome when he was young, but is now lame.

Bai Chen is still a boy of seventeen or eighteen, while Xiao Lin is dressed up in an old fashioned way. The two of them now have an inexplicable sense of seeing uncles and nephews. Bai Chen wants to laugh, but he still holds back.

"Actually, the market is not bad. Didn't you come here often before?" Xiao Lin said, "The key point is the Qilin Square, where people who are well-dressed are like a target of public criticism."

Bai Chen was slightly surprised: "It's so dangerous there?"

"You'll know when you get there." Xiao Lin stroked his fake beard maturely, "Maybe Mr. Luo is coming soon, let's hurry over too."

They made an appointment with Luo Lanye to meet in front of the gate of Qilinfang.In addition to Mr. Luo, there may be two or three guards with him, and six or seven unfamiliar faces will pass through together, which may be too eye-catching.

"Okay." Bai Chen put away his thoughts of watching the lively market, and moved forward with Xiao Lin beyond the goal.

After passing through the bustling bazaar, you enter the relatively quiet workshop, which is a residential area, and the shops in the workshop are small in scale, which cannot be compared with the hustle and bustle of the market.Bai Chen feels that the square is a bit like a community in modern society, and the shops in the square are about the same size as the shops in the community.

The appearance of each workshop looks similar, with a sense of life. Among the people who come in and out, there are few people who are particularly well-dressed, and almost all of them are wearing bunts that are convenient for work.

Bai Chen followed Xiao Lin through the square-like workshop, and finally came to the gate of Qilin Workshop.

As soon as he arrived here, he was suddenly shocked, and felt his heart fluttering, as if there were many eyes spying on them in the dark.

He looked at Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin's expression was normal, and he blinked slightly at him, expressing that he felt it too.

Kylin Square, as the name suggests, has unicorn factors everywhere.There are still two majestic stone unicorns standing outside the gate of the square, but it has been a long time, and one of the unicorns has a missing piece of head.

Unlike other workshops with a sense of life, this place is very quiet. Although the gate is open, it is rare to see people coming in and out, let alone standing and gossip.

……

It was already the appointed time, but Lord Luo hadn't come yet. The two waited for a while, but Lord Luo was still nowhere to be seen.

Seeing that the opening time of the "ghost market" for trading herbal medicine is about to open, there is no further delay.After eye contact, the two decided to go in and have a look.

"Cough cough," Xiao Lin coughed twice, and his voice was much more vicissitudes, "Your Uncle Luo may have encountered something on the road and delayed your arrival for a while, nephew, let's go in first, my legs won't last long stand."

"..." He almost couldn't react to Bingshan's sudden soaring acting skills. He really played his uncle, and by the way, promoted Luo Lanye to be his uncle. The corner of Bai Chen's mouth twitched, and he could only cooperate, " Yes, I hope I can buy medicine to heal your leg injury."

While talking, the two stepped into the gate of Qilinfang.

Inside the high walls of the workshop, there was such a scene, which really surprised Bai Chen.

——There are low and dark bungalows inside, and the mud plastered on the outside of the bungalows is cracked, revealing the thatch filled in them; there are crumbling thatched huts built in each bungalow, and the thatched huts look very weak , a heavy rain is enough to make them all fall apart.

Sitting in front of each house were idle aliens, both men and women, with alert and vigilant expressions.

There are also a few dirty children of foreign races sitting outside the house playing with mud and stones.

Seeing Bai Chen and the others come in, there was naked repulsion and disgust in the eyes of everyone, even children.They kept silent, just staring at Bai Chen and Xiao Lin.

Bai Chen felt that if there were knives in his eyes, they would probably be stripped naked by now.

Qilinfang is like a barren land that is both closed and exclusive, independent of Fangshi in the south of the city.

Xiao Lin was right, if they came here wearing gold and silver, they would probably be besieged by aliens who rushed out.

Huan'er has a big face and a plump figure, she doesn't look like a foreigner, how did she get involved with this place?

It is said that [-]% of the people here are foreigners, and the remaining [-]% ​​are locals. Can they really live in such a harsh environment?

Bai Chen suppressed the doubts in his heart, supported his "Uncle Xiao", ignored the suffocating gazes, and walked towards the depths of Qilinfang.

The further you go in, the better the house, and the less and less of that naked, unadorned malevolence.

It seems that Qilinfang is also a society of pyramids. Those who have no money at the bottom can only linger on the periphery, and the foreigners with a little money and the [-]% of the Central Plains people live in the center of Qilinfang.

Although the central area of ​​Qilinfang does not look so weird, it is quite different from those ordinary places. All the passers-by are in a hurry and their expressions are numb. Even if they stop them to ask for directions, they will ignore them.

——Of course, asking for directions was just a feint shot by Bai Chen and Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin had already checked the direction of the "ghost market". They were afraid of being suspicious and pretended to be people looking for medicine, just like headless chickens Bumping around in Qilin Workshop.

"The medicine stall is just to the northeast, and it's just three gates away." Perhaps seeing the "uncle and nephew" wandering around here a few times, a Central Plains man who set up a stall selling melons and fruits finally spoke.

They also asked him about this person before, but he ignored them.

Vigilance is strong enough.

"Thank you." After Bai Chen thanked him, he had an idea, "My uncle's leg is also helpless, and he came here after hearing what a kind girl said."

The melon and fruit sellers ignored them at first, but when they heard that someone had introduced them, they asked, "Who told you? What's their name?"

"It's not easy to say, is it?" Bai Chen intentionally showed a hesitant expression.

The melon seller suddenly became fierce: "If you don't say anything, I will ask someone to drive you out immediately."

"No, big brother, don't call me, I say it's okay!" Bai Chen pretended to hesitate, and said weakly: "Call, call Huan'er."

"It's her?" The melon and fruit seller snorted coldly, "I'm afraid she is trying to die."

Bai Chen's eye circles turned red immediately, "She pity us, and she revealed it to us when she saw that we had no other choice. Don't blame her."

"Let's go." The melon and fruit seller looked around and made a gesture of repelling, "Tell her when you go back, don't be an example, even if she moves away, you must abide by the rules, otherwise those people won't let her go .”

"Okay, okay, thank you!" Bai Chen took Xiao Lin in his arms, "Uncle, let's go."

It turns out that Huan'er lived here before, which is an important clue, but it's a pity that it's not convenient to discuss the case with Xiao Lin now.

……

Xiao Lin silently glanced at Bai Chen, and Bai Chen saw the comment "Your acting skills are no worse than mine" from his eyes, and Bai Chen reminded him, "Uncle, hurry up and buy medicine."

Xiao Lin hummed, "Let's go."

The two of them didn't have to put on any pretense anymore, and went straight to the northeast.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he passed through the gate of the third alley, he was stopped by two burly men of different races with black hair and golden eyes. Both of them had high noses and deep eyes, and they looked fierce.

Both Bai Chen and Xiao Lin were taken aback.

"Gentlemen, my uncle has bad legs and feet. I'll bring him here to ask for medicine. Please do me a favor and let us in." Bai Chen said pitifully, looking really like he was accompanying his uncle to seek medical advice. The filial nephew.

One of the big men of the foreign race said: "The grass grows and the warbler flies again for another spring."

The pronunciation is weird and out of tune, but it's miraculously understandable.

... It is not easy to go to the black market now, and you have to check the password.

But the key problem is that the link of having a password was not mentioned in the previous investigation!It's not okay to make up random, if it's not right, you won't be allowed in.

This is how to do?Seeing that the ghost market is about to arrive, is it going to fall short?

When Bai Chen was a little anxious, Xiao Lin beside him spoke.

"Spring goes and autumn comes and gold is everywhere."

Bai Chen: ...

Although he is a scumbag, he also knows that this sentence is not neat. Is it easy to be fooled by being a big brother of a different race?

Just when Bai Chen was complaining in his heart, he saw the two big men measuring his body, "Please!"

Bai Chen: ...

"Let's go." Xiao Lin coughed and tugged at Bai Chen's sleeve.

"..." I respect you as an iceberg with connotations.

Anyway, it's finally over.

Behind the gatekeeper is another gate, behind which is the alley of the ghost market.

Bai Chen calmed down, supported Xiao Lin, opened the door, and stepped into the alley.

In fact, this is not quite the same as what he imagined. The ghost market he imagined is eerie, everyone in it hides his identity, wears a mask, and can not speak when he is trading, which is very mysterious.

But this market for swapping herbs is nothing like that.

This is a deep and quaint alley, not too long. There are ordinary houses on both sides of the alley. As soon as you step into the alley, you will be greeted by the mixed smell of various herbs.

There are many people wandering in the alley, including people from different races and people from the Central Plains. They stop in front of various stalls to choose and bargain.

The medicine sellers in the stalls were almost aliens. They sat cross-legged on the ground, and many strange herbs were placed in front of them.

Bai Chen and Xiao Lin exchanged glances, and the two walked towards the nearest booth.
