My life in another world is up to me
Chapter 274 The City That Never Sleeps
The host didn't answer, and after a while, the hostess also closed her mouth and took a break.
For a while, there was only the rustling of the night rain.
The rain in early winter has already brought a chill, and when I go out in the morning, I take a casual breath, and I feel that the lungs are cold.
After tidying up, the three of the Su family opened the door.At this time, the sky was still only twilight, and the owner's family was already busy in the yard. After hearing the "squeak" sound of opening the door, they all turned their heads to show Su Ziyi and the others a restrained smile.
"Good morning."
"You guys got up really early, it's not yet dawn, you can still sleep a little longer." The host shrugged his shoulders and leaned over.The weather is already cold, but he and his family are still wearing the coarse clothes from yesterday, which are torn and thin, and the host's fingers are red and thick, obviously just inserted into the cold water: "Breakfast is already in the cold water." I'm ready, but I have to trouble a few people to wait a little longer, I'm really sorry." He nodded and bowed, for fear of offending a few people.
"Nothing." Regarding breakfast, the three of the Su family had no expectations at all, and it didn't matter whether they ate or not.
"Let's leave later." Su Ziyi touched another piece of silver and threw it into the other party's arms: "I want to ask, how far is the nearest town from here? How big is it?"
The host didn't expect that the other party would give money at all, he hurriedly collected the money, and said with a smile on his face: "We are a bit out of the way, and there is a town about fifty miles east of the village. The town is not very big, only a hundred miles away." If you want to go to a more lively place, I think you can go to Qusong Town in the southeast, it’s a big town, but it’s a little far away.”
After saying this, he showed a embarrassed expression on his face: "I haven't been there either, but I just heard people say that the houses in Qusong Town are four or five stories high, and the walls are made of large pieces of granite. Do it." As he said that, a fascinated expression appeared on his face, but it only lasted for a moment, and in the next second, he changed back to his original appearance, vicissitudes and numbness.
"How far is it from here?" A town with hundreds of families can only be called a village, and Su Ziyi didn't plan to go there.
"It's quite far, more than two hundred miles away." The male host smacked his lips: "But the village head has a bullock cart, you can spend some money to rent a car from him, and it won't waste too much time." His gaze swept across the material of Su Ziyi's body, and then he lowered his eyelids.
"En." More than two hundred miles is not too far for a cultivator, so Su Ziyi decided to go to Qusong County, but: "What do you think?" He turned his head to look at Bian Qing. "Okay, let's go there." Bian Qing is no longer the timid young man he was back then. He has a good ability to adapt to unfamiliar environments and strangers.
"Okay, then let's go." Saying this, he bid farewell to the owner, carried a small package, and took Bian Qing and Su Yulang away.
The owner's family watched them leave from behind, and no one said anything to persuade the other party to eat breakfast, because they knew that the other party would not like the breakfast they prepared.
Although it was early, they were not the only pedestrians on the village road.
Walking on the narrow field stalks, they saw four or five people walking in front of them carrying things, as if they were going out of the village.With good footwork, they quickly caught up with the group of people, and then they were a little horrified to find a rolled up straw mat on the shoulders of these people. The straw mat was old and rotten, and it couldn't hide anything. The feet covered in black mud were exposed like this.
Obviously, it is a person wrapped in this.
Su Ziyi and the others instantly remembered the crying they heard last night and what they heard from the owner of the house.
There are men and women among the few people carrying the corpse, but all of them have their backs bent by life, and their faces are old and sad.In addition, there was a child who was less than the height of a person's waist, who was closely following a man carrying a hoe, trotting along, as if he was afraid of being left behind. When Su Ziyi and his group walked behind them, He was the only one who looked back curiously.
In the end, Su Ziyi found that the child looked familiar. It was the child they asked for directions when they entered the village yesterday.
The road ahead became narrower and narrower, and it was no longer possible for two people to walk side by side, so the child could only take a few steps back and walked in front of the Su family.
The child was thin and small, and he didn't look like he was seven or eight years old. He only had a pair of dark and bright eyes.
"Are you leaving now?" As he walked, he turned his head and asked Su Ziyi and the others: "The candy you gave yesterday was delicious, but it's a pity that my sister just had time to touch someone before it disappeared." His steps were very light. , as if jumping: "But it's okay, I stuffed candy into my sister's mouth, so that she will be sweet when she is down there." From his words, Su Ziyi couldn't see any sadness, as if still Some happy.
When the child said these words, the adults in front turned their heads, but after only one glance, they all turned back in a hurry, as if they would lose their eyes if they took one more look.
Faced with such a thing, Su Yulang obviously couldn't adapt to it. He looked at the children in front of him bouncing around, and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you sad that your sister died?" "Huh?" As soon as the child stopped walking, he looked over with a very strange look. After a while, he said in a serious tone: "Sad, but is it useful? For my sister, I am afraid that death is worse than It's better to be alive."
"My sister is not dead, but just relieved."
"You son of a bitch, what are you still doing there, come here quickly." Within the time of these few words, the child was already a long way behind the adult in front, and the adult who was found turned his head and scolded for a while. "It's coming, it's coming." The child replied in a clear voice, and his slender feet moved again, but before leaving, he smiled at Su Yulang: "Thank you for the candy."
After finishing speaking, he chased after the adult in front.
Behind him, the Su family only felt that the weather was too cold today.
In the end, the two groups of them parted ways completely at the entrance of the village.The person in front carried the corpse and the hoe to the mountain, while the group of the Su family who had never caught up with them followed a small path and headed southeast.
Today's weather was obviously not very good, and the sun only faintly showed its head at noon.
They ate the dry food directly from the storage bag, and then continued on their way.In one morning, they had already walked more than half of the way, and they should be able to arrive at the Qusong town mentioned by the owner before this evening.It's just that, along the way, they saw more villages like the one they settled in before, with few people and poverty everywhere.
As soon as the warm sun shone on him, Su Yulang completely forgot what happened in the morning. With a pancake in his mouth, he said, "I've never seen such a poor place before." When I was in the town, I thought that Luoshan Village was already poor enough, but I didn't expect the people here to be several times poorer than Luoshan Village.
"I'm afraid that the practitioners who control here are not good people." After hearing those words last night, Bian Qing's sense of uneasiness has not dissipated: "I don't know where we are. Wait until we figure out the situation in Dai Guo." Then, leave here as soon as possible." They were not familiar with the place, and Bian Qing was still thinking about avoiding this unknown threat.
"Okay." Su Ziyi had some thoughts in his heart, but since Bian Qing didn't want to stay here any longer, he didn't bother to explore that trace of curiosity.
As they expected, before evening, they finally arrived at Qusong Town.
Just like what the owner said, Qusong Town is indeed very lively, but comparing what Su Ziyi and the others have seen and heard along the way, such a bustle will inevitably seem a bit out of place.The city wall built of large blocks of granite is very majestic, and there are exquisite watchtowers on it. The city guards in armor have a mighty posture, their eyes are shining, and they are obviously living a very prosperous life.
In addition, Su Ziyi also found that these guards were quite vigorous, not much worse than those warriors in Qixia Town.
After spending some money to pay the entrance fee, Su Ziyi and the others entered the town.Once they entered the town, they realized that this not-so-good town was actually more prosperous than Qixia Town.
Standing at the gate of the city and looking forward, there is no end to a street.There are bluestone roads under your feet, and there are people having fun on the road. The makeup on the faces of the women and Shuang'er is quite delicate.Both sides are also full of several-storey wooden buildings, and the shortest one has three floors. Among them, at the end of the road, a building with a pointed roof stands out from the crowd, which is very eye-catching.
This was beyond the expectations of the members of the Su family.
"Father..." Su Yulang watched all this with his mouth slightly open.
At this time, a carriage just passed by them.Although the carriage is not big, it is pulled by two white horses, and the two white horses have no variegation on their bodies, and their shiny fur is obviously well taken care of, and the carriage carriage is also made of high-quality ebony , the materials used and the techniques used are all fine.
A young man in brocade clothes was sitting on the carriage, holding a whip in his hand to drive the carriage, with a pair of revealing clothes leaning on his back, coquettishly coquettish in a sweet tone.When he found the three of the Su family looking over, he even gave them a wink, which made the three of them get goosebumps.
"Those two are cultivators." Su Yulang said blankly, "Isn't this Qusong Town? Why doesn't it look like a town at all?"
"Qusong Town?" A person who came in with them sneered behind them: "When was that in the old calendar, now this place is not called Qusong Town, but Tianlan City, and the City that Never Sleeps!"
For a while, there was only the rustling of the night rain.
The rain in early winter has already brought a chill, and when I go out in the morning, I take a casual breath, and I feel that the lungs are cold.
After tidying up, the three of the Su family opened the door.At this time, the sky was still only twilight, and the owner's family was already busy in the yard. After hearing the "squeak" sound of opening the door, they all turned their heads to show Su Ziyi and the others a restrained smile.
