PFC Chapter 113 Market
Chapter 113 Market
Hong was a little confused when she heard Qin Yangming's words.
The loved ones of the loved ones?
Hong didn't understand. She had a feeling in her heart that she didn't seem to have any leadership power over her beloved.
Putting aside the meaning of this mysterious child of prophecy, even if it was simply said that Qin Yangming was her beloved, Hong probably wouldn't be able to admit it.
Because Hong discovered that her restraining effect on Qin Yangming was minimal, almost zero.
Other awakened ones can take their followers into another dimension and can order them to do anything at any time and anywhere, but Hong discovered that she couldn't.
Moreover, her follower has too strong subjective initiative and has a strong tendency to lead her. Now, she is asked to lead the way to the market. So Hong feels like crying but has no tears. Who is the follower of whom?
Qin Yangming saw Hong hesitant and thought she was worried about something, so he tried to comfort her. Only then did Hong lead the way and took Qin Yangming towards the market.
This was the first time that Qin Yangming walked normally on the streets of Dan City. Last time, under the leadership of Hong, he just passed by in a hurry and had no time to take a good look at the local customs and culture.
At this time, Qin Yangming was wearing a black Taoist robe, with his long, smooth black hair falling down, covering most of his face. His tall and thin figure followed behind Hong, taking a close look at everything here.
On his first visit, Qin Yangming felt that the streets here were cramped, small and depressing.
There are rows of Gothic houses on the road. Although they are all European style, none of them are arched. The roofs are all flat. It makes sense because it never rains in the world below, so the arched design is completely useless.
Moreover, each house is very short, basically no more than three stories high, and each house is tightly packed together without any gaps, as if two houses share one wall.
Because this way some space can be saved. You know, although the space in Egg City is not small, it is also limited, especially the space left for them, the lowest level people, is even more scarce.
The streets between each row of rooms were also very narrow, allowing only two carriages to pass side by side at most. It seemed that the streets had not been properly cleaned and maintained for a long time, with debris littered and sewage flowing everywhere.
The living areas of the lowest class of people are often like this. Even if they have a sound drainage system, they cannot avoid this dirty and messy situation, because the number of untouchables is the largest, the area allocated to them is not large, and the population density is high, also for the purpose of living.
Qin Yangming discovered that there were no electrical appliances or any modern equipment here. Everyone used old items from the Middle Ages in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The only energy source here is coal, an endless supply of coal mined from the underground world.
“Dried earthworms! Delicious and inexpensive!”
A burst of shouting attracted Qin Yangming's attention. He turned around and saw a row of black strips hanging in front of a vendor. They seemed to have been dried in the wind.
I guess it must be dried earthworms. It looks very unappetizing and even nauseating. I just don't know what it tastes like.
Qin Yangming saw that Hong also looked in that direction and swallowed secretly.
The two did not stay, but continued to move forward, looking around along the way. Before they knew it, Qin Yangming and the other man had arrived inside the market.
Hong suddenly pulled the corner of Qin Yangming's clothes, pointed at the man who was standing in front of a stall with his hands behind his back and cursing, and said:
"That [dog] is the manager of this market!"
Qin Yangming nodded. Even if Hong didn't say it, he could tell it at a glance, because the [dog] was too conspicuous. In this market where everyone was a lowly bastard, what he wore was really too conspicuous.
I saw that he was wearing a pure black tailcoat on his short body. Because he was not tall and the tailcoat was very long, the two tails of the tailcoat inevitably dragged on the ground, getting stuck with the filth on the market floor.
Then this [dog] even tied a pink bow on the collar of his clean, white, straight shirt.
His hair was shiny and greasy, combed into a slicked back bun. He also carefully pulled a strand of hair and let it hang on one side of his forehead, hanging in front of his eyes. The strand of hair shook up and down as he shouted and cursed loudly, as if it was cursing along with him.
Hong leaned close to Qin Yangming's ear and said:
"His name is Fang, and people are afraid of him!"
"On the one hand, he decides everything about this market. On the other hand, he has absolute law enforcement power. Even if he beats someone to death, it doesn't matter..."
After Hong finished speaking in a fearful whisper, she unexpectedly saw Ya, who had just been making things difficult for the poor little vendor, glanced at her. Hong's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Ya heard what she said?
Sure enough, Ya's fierce gaze locked onto Hong at once. He turned around and spat at the poor stall owner whom he had scolded for a full half hour, then walked straight towards the two of them.
Along the way, he roughly pushed away all the people and objects that blocked his way, and finally stopped in front of Qin Yangming and Hong Shen.
Qin Yangming stood behind Hong, looking down at the dog who was staring at him with his head tilted up, and saw ferocity in his eyes that seemed to be about to pop out.
"Hey! Who are you?"
Ya suddenly raised one arm, pointed at Qin Yangming and asked loudly.
Hong mustered up her courage and explained to Ya pitifully:
"Master Ya, he is my...favored one."
Ya glanced at Hong with an expression of disbelief and shouted:
"Favored One? You're telling me this lowly bastard is actually your Favored One?"
"Hahaha, this is hilarious! One bastard summoned another bastard!"
"Why, are you two going to make everyone laugh to death?"
Hong was very embarrassed by Ya's series of sneers. Her pale face turned red, especially in front of so many people in the market.
Qin Yangming took two steps forward, covered the rainbow to his side, and said to Ya:
"Mr. Ya, we want to set up a stall here."
Although he was angry in his heart, he did not forget the purpose of coming here, which was to improve the lives of Hong and her grandmother.
Ya was laughing so hard that he was bent over, but when he suddenly heard this strangely dressed follower saying that he wanted to set up a stall, his violent laughter stopped abruptly.
"You...want to set up a stall?"
Ya looked at Qin Yangming in shock, as if he was looking at a monster.
Qin Yangming said:
“Yes, we want to set up a stall here and sell some items.”
Ya seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. He started laughing again, and this time his laughter was even louder than last time.
The whole market was quiet at this time, and everyone's eyes were fixed on this place. It was unknown when these two bastards, Qin Yangming and Hong, temporarily became the protagonists here.
No, it should be said that he was the object of everyone's ridicule.
Ya suddenly stopped smiling, his eyes were filled with ferocity, he stared at Qin Yangming and said:
"If you are making fun of me, you bastard, then you can prepare to die..."
Qin Yangming could feel Ya's anger slowly rising. He looked at the dwarf in front of him and understood his emotions.
Qin Yangming directly took out a small object from his pocket, handed it to Ya, and said:
"Mr. Ya, this is our first meeting. This is a greeting gift."
As soon as Ya's contemptuous gaze fell on the object in Qin Yangming's hand, it changed instantly, and was filled with greed and desire in an instant.
"Is this... copper?"
Qin Yangming nodded and said:
"It's copper, Mr. Fang."
What Qin Yangming was holding in his hand was the small copper incense burner that the peddler had given him when he was still a fortune teller.
And copper is very valuable in Egg City.
