[Bottle Evil Colleague] Ink Dawn

All the way here, Poker-Face had already put the black-gold dagger back into its sheath. He didn't know whether it was to show goodwill or to confirm that there would be no danger if he didn't cause trouble, but the expression on his face didn't mean to relax.

The nearby streets became more and more lively, and the number of "people" increased visibly, almost to the point of rubbing shoulders, and it seemed that they were already approaching the central area of ​​the city.

To be honest, being passed by a zongzi is not a good memory.Because when they walked straight past me at a very close distance, there was no wind around, but I felt that the hairs on my skin stood up, as if being blown by the wind through the jacket, and I couldn't control it. I shuddered.

Fat people with a lot of flesh can't bear to rub their upper arms. I have been too thin for the past two years, and my muscles have no fat to keep warm. After squeezing with the rice dumplings for a while, I can't bear it anymore.I clenched my fists tightly and couldn't suppress the slight trembling of my muscles. The temperature in the city was not low, but when I opened my mouth, a faint mist came out.

Poker-Face was walking a little ahead of me, but he didn't know how he noticed the situation between Fatty and me, so he quickly slowed down, then turned around and grabbed my hand, saying "Follow me closely." So he pulled me hard to get out of the flow of "people" and shrank into the space between the two stalls on the side of the road.Fatty and Tiaozi were also quite sharp, knowing that there would be meat to follow Poker Ping, they quickly knocked the two "people" away and followed them.

Feeling the warmth and coolness from Poker-Face's hands, I was warmed up from the inside out, and I finally calmed down.

In fact, I found that the negative places in this city have a greater impact on me than the fat man, even if I compare with the scorpion.I have a vague feeling that this phenomenon has something to do with the fact that I was recruited at the stone tablet outside the iron chain. These negative feelings and emotional effects, people must go crazy.

The two stalls next to me have different businesses. The "merchant" on the left seems to be engaged in the ancient rouge business. Rows of exquisitely carved stone boxes are neatly arranged on the stone platform, ranging from texture to size. The cutting patterns are different, and there is a faint strange fragrance, which just covers up the unspeakable musty smell here, making people feel much more comfortable.

But Pokerfing's gaze stayed on the right. I was a little curious about what he was looking at, so I turned my head to look, and found an "old man" standing there, holding a long stick, slightly hunched over.In fact, the profession of this old man is still spread in the streets and alleys all over the country, loved by young and old.He is a seller of candied haws.

I feel a deep sense of powerlessness to everything in front of me, because if I had to live here for ten days and a half months, maybe even I would feel that the days I lived in the modern society were just a dream. .

But it still surprises me that Boyouping is interested in such an "old man" who sells candied haws.

Could it be that I didn't try this kind of thing that most children like in childhood, but now I am in love with it?I thought back to the childhood described by Zhang Haike, and felt that it was like Les Miserables, and it was really possible.This is not bad, I feel a little distressed at once, thinking about whether I can take him to some places that young people love to go after everything is over, and try some new ways of enjoying life, but I feel that he will not like it because of his temperament , After much deliberation, my heart feels sad.

At this time, Poker Bottle finally turned around and said:

"Let's try it."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and motioned for me to take out the things I just shoved on the street.I suddenly understood that what he meant was to take the initiative to communicate with these Zongren, try to follow their way of life, and try their water depth.

Hearing this, I obediently took out two copper coins from the side pocket of the jacket and put them in his palm.The fat man watched from the side, and couldn't help but said: "Innocent, you can scrape off this little bit of fat and cream? It can't be exchanged for a lot of money."

I waved and said:

"This is the currency used for local transactions. The patterns and patterns I have seen in the literature are a bit different. It may be something unique to this ghost town. I think it may be useful if it is useful... Besides, it can be collected if it is useless. It’s not a souvenir. I don’t feel burdened by those who steal rice dumplings.”

The fat man's eyes drifted to the shop selling utensils opposite, and he complained to Poker Bottle: "Isn't this hand taught by a blind man? Brother, you have never seen that lively scene when you were practicing this sneaky skill when you were naive. People hang up every day." Wearing a human skin mask, he was chased by the security guards and ran all over the streets. Whenever he was free, Master Hua and the blind man drove behind slowly, just looking at it and knocking him down..."

I immediately interrupted the fat man and said angrily:

"Didn't you fucking have fun in the car at the time! Damn, the blind man said at the time that 'smart hands and empty hands are the basic skills to survive on the road', who did he cheat? I was stupid to believe him at the time. The worst thing is If you steal someone’s wallet, you have to secretly return it to them, so it’s no wonder if you don’t get chased by the real guy when you come back to the scene of the crime.”

The fat man suddenly stopped laughing, and said leisurely:

"Aren't you using it now?"

I froze for a moment, choking to death.Perhaps what the blind man wanted to teach me at that time, I only realized now: In our industry, when the waves wash away the sand, there are many things to know, and they are all life-saving capital.There will always be accidents in the fight, and these unpredictable accidents often require unimaginable abilities to save the day.At this time, fate is the fairest and cruelest.If you will, just continue to live, wait for the person who deserves it, and do the unfinished business.You will not, sorry, no one can save you, only the merciless scythe of death is waiting for you.

Although the case of being empty-handed is not the most typical example, the blind man slowly climbed up from the bottom. He understands this truth best, and he hopes that I can understand it, so he taught me such a craft.It seems that my apprentice is too stupid, and I am lucky to have survived till now.

Poker-Face ignored the conversation on our side, took the copper coin and walked straight to the old man, stretched out and pointed at a bunch of candied haws, and then handed over the money with open palms.I watched him secretly touch the black gold dagger on his waist, took a deep breath, and pulled the trigger of the pistol in his arms.

The old man turned his head slowly, a expression that could barely be called a "smile" gradually unfolded on his wrinkled face, he raised his hand and took one of the copper coins from the palm of Poker Bottle, smiled again, and pulled out a Passed it to Poker Finger, who took it over naturally.The entire transaction process is so normal that it is unbelievable. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that this was a fairy tale that was completely impossible to happen.

Porky Bottle quickly returned and handed me the candied haws. The surrounding cold light was not bright enough, so I realized something was wrong with it, it was too light.It is basically a counterfeit product that uses weeds to form candied haws into the shape of candied haws, then wraps a layer of paper with paste and paints red paint.

Compared with the real food for the living, this thing is more like a sacrifice for the dead.

I looked up at the hazy ghost town in the distance, and felt that the temperature here seemed to be cooler.
