Abnormal!
Very abnormal!
Chen Tang couldn't help but look around and rub his eyes.
After she was sure that this scene was not a dream, she asked Qi Shan, "Yuan Liang... did we go to the right place? Did we accidentally step into some strange illusion, or did we step through a portal... It, it's not right..."
She couldn't help but turn her head and look at the city gate she came from.
The team, which seemed to have no end in sight, was still slowly moving forward.
Most of these people were in rags and looked weak, but the people in the city had rosy complexions and were dressed cleanly and decently.
The visual impact caused by the bizarre differences made her question her life.
Qi Shan had a blank expression on his face: "What's wrong?"
Chen Tang pointed in the direction of the city gate.
"Look outside the city, then look inside the city, what's wrong?"
After seeing the desolate and dilapidated scene, and then looking at the prosperous and bustling Xiaocheng, one can't help but wonder if these two scenes really exist under the same sky? But the reality is that the two are only separated by a city wall and a moat.
Qi Shan lowered his eyes upon hearing this, and he didn't know when a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corners of his lips. He said in a mature manner: "Young Master Shen, you need to walk around more and see more, then you will get used to it."
Chen Tang was dissatisfied: "You said I was making a fuss?"
No respect for her at all
"That's what I mean."
Yes, no face at all!
Chen Tang: “…”
I always want to jump up and perform a craniotomy on this guy.
Passing by a tavern, Qi Shan pointed to the side of the tavern door and told her: "Young Master Shen, you wait here first, and then go down to find out something. I will be back in about an hour. You must stay here and don't run around."
"Ask about something? Find out the whereabouts of your creditor?" Seeing that Qi Shan did not give a direct answer, Chen Tang waved his hand indifferently, "If you want to go, go early. The earlier you go, the earlier you can come back. We still have to find a place to stay at night. I don't want to sleep on the side of the road or under a bridge..."
Qishan: “…”
The originally complex mood, like a burning fire, was interrupted by Chen Tang's words. Suddenly, it was like a deflated ball, and no emotion could be connected. The anger could not go up or down, and finally rolled and mixed in the chest, turning into a long sigh.
He repeated helplessly: "Yeah, you too, don't run around."
Chen Tang obediently stayed by the door of the tavern, watching Qi Shan's back disappear at the end of the street. When he was completely out of sight, her eyes suddenly lit up - although she had been traveling through time for almost a month, she basically walked with Qi Shan every day and had no time for private activities at all.
Naturally, she hadn't really looked at this world.
After waiting for a while, he turned around and rented a small stool from the tavern owner, and the motorcycle also lay down obediently to accompany him.
"What's this young lady's name?"
About a quarter of an hour later, a male voice pretending to be dignified came from above. Chen Tang looked up and saw a slightly plump, rough-featured middle-aged man staring at him.
She raised her hand and pointed at herself, asking, "Call me?"
At this moment, only emoticons can express her feelings.
Oh my god!
After traveling for nearly a month, this is the first time someone called out the correct gender!
In the past, all those common people were led into trouble by Qishan.
What a sin, Qi Yuanliang!
The middle-aged man smiled and leaned closer and said, "That's right."
Chen Tang was handsome and pretty. At the age of just over ten, he already had a promising appearance. He only needed to raise her for one or two years before she could be sold to make money. She had a fair complexion and a clean temperament, but she didn't dress luxuriously, so she probably didn't come from a wealthy family.
She looked around, curious about everything like an old country bumpkin, and it was obvious at first glance that she was a naive and inexperienced child.
Better to cheat.
He noticed it when Qishan and Chen Tang appeared.
He hadn't thought much of it, after all, Chen Tang was accompanied by Qi Shan - one of the most untouchable people in this world is the elegant men dressed as scholars, wearing hair crowns and hairpins. Who knows if they have literary heart? It would be bad if he hit a wall - but who made Qi Shan leave, leaving Chen Tang alone
From their accents, it was obvious that they were from other places.
If he doesn't slaughter such a fat sheep, when can he open his business
As long as the person is abducted and transferred, it is useless to pray for Shan to come back.
Chen Tang was sitting obediently on the small stool at this time, with an innocent look in his eyes, and he showed the man a kind smile: "What's the matter?"
The man smiled and said, "It's like this. The man who was traveling with you just now asked me to come and take you to the inn."
Chen Tang asked, "Yuan Liang asked you to call me?"
"Yes, I'm a helper at Fanghua Inn. The man you're traveling with is a tall, thin man wearing a moon-white shirt. He said you should wait in front of this tavern." The man gestured twice as he spoke.
Chen Tang looked innocent and simple.
The man described something and she nodded.
"Yes, yes, that's Yuan Liang... But, didn't he say he was going to find out something and asked me to wait here..."
The man interrupted Chen Tang and said, "Well, it seems that the young man ran into an old friend and couldn't get away for a while."
Seeing that he "didn't seem to be faking it", Chen Tang was half-believing and half-doubting.
The man asked again: "Are you worried that I'm a liar? Why don't I stay here with you and wait for the young man to come? It's not safe for you, a little girl, to stay on the street."
Shen Tang quickly shook his head.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
After that, she thought about it and asked the man again.
"Will it interfere with the inn's affairs if you wait here?"
The man waved his hands generously and answered with a hearty smile.
"It's okay. I can delay it. I can't just watch a young lady like you stay on the street. It's not safe."
When he said this, Shen Tang's expression seemed to waver.
This scene also happened to the passers-by.
The tavern owner glanced at the man and snorted disdainfully, but did not say anything to expose him. Other shop owners were also familiar with this middle-aged man - a well-known gangster in the area, who often went to villages near Xiaocheng to look for boys and girls with potential in appearance, raising them at home for two years. If they did not grow up badly, he would sell them at a high price. Some outsiders who were unaware of the situation were also his targets.
It is obvious that he has taken a liking to this young lady.
The tavern owner spat inwardly.
But he still keeps aloof from it.
It's hard for anyone to do business these days.
To steal someone's money is like killing his parents.
If you offend this kind of scoundrel, forget about doing business in Xiaocheng. It’s better to have less trouble than more, just pretend you didn’t see it.
At the same time, he also sneered in his heart, mocking Chen Tang's simplicity and stupidity.
This man had a pair of narrow rat eyes. When Chen Tang wasn't paying attention, his eyes kept looking back and forth at her face and clothes. Coupled with his frivolous attitude, he was obviously not a decent person. Only a child from a wealthy family who was ignorant of the ways of the world would be fooled.
He was actually chatting with others with a smile on his face.
Little did they know that there was a reason why Chen Tang had this patience.
Who made him the first person to call out the correct gender
Chen Tang smiled, and was willing to chat with the other party for a few more words.
Then-
It would be good if he gave up the idea, but if he still did bad things—
Send him to paradise as soon as possible.
