Silently, Su Qiubai followed behind the uncle.
But he made a secret decision in his heart, no matter what, he must fulfill his promise, stand in front of Xia Rongrong at all times, willing to face the whole world for her!
After chatting like this, Su Qiubai also had a new understanding of this uncle.
At first I thought he was a traffic policeman, but later I realized... This uncle's status in Sky City is almost the same as that of a cleaner in Huaxia.
To put it bluntly, they are the hardest workers, but the two worlds have different concepts of garbage.
After learning about this, the old driver has indescribable respect and gratitude for this uncle named Tiangong.
In this way, the two returned to Uncle Tiangong's house all the way.
The residential area in the urban area is divided into five grades. Uncle Tiangong is in the fifth grade, which is also the suburb of the entire city. It is almost the same concept as a slum.
However, after the day's work was over, Uncle Tiangong seemed very happy. After getting paid, he took Su Qiubai to the market to kill a strange-looking chicken.
But even though it looks weird, Su Qiubai can see it and feel it... There is a very powerful energy in this chicken's body.
It was also because of this that he vaguely understood why there were so many powerful fighters in the Sky City, which may be a large part of the reason.
During the chat before, Uncle Tiangong said that he has a daughter who has just entered elementary school, and today Su Qiubai is also a guest, killing a chicken and eating with the whole family.
After arriving at Uncle Tiangong's house, Su Qiubai finally saw what kind of place this family lived in.
To put it bluntly, it is even worse than some slums in Huaxia.
The whole family only has two rooms plus a toilet, one room is used for cooking, and all three of the family live here at the same time, and the other room is for other things.
To be honest, Su Qiubai was shocked when he saw it.
Originally, he thought that in such a powerful world and such a powerful city, everyone should be able to live well.
But now, he found that he was wrong.
However, Uncle Tiangong's daughter is very cute, and his wife is also very kind. The whole family welcomes Su Qiubai very much.
So, as an inexplicable guest, the old driver had his first meal in the Sky City.
Although it was very simple, the meal was very enjoyable. Listening to Uncle Tiangong's family chatting, he also had a preliminary understanding of this strange sky city.
However, he still couldn't find a suitable way to get in touch with Xia Rongrong, which made him feel a little depressed and even more helpless.
Uncle Tiangong's family also seemed a little curious about Su Qiubai, as if they were worried about something, but they were unwilling to speak out.
But in the end, they didn't ask too much. Everyone has their own secrets, and there is no need to explore so many.
At the end of the meal, Su Qiubai heard that Tiangong's daughter seemed to want something, but Tiangong and his wife were silent at the same time.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange. The old driver sat next to him and couldn't figure it out. He only saw the little girl's uneasy and anxious face.
"Dad, I don't want it anymore... I can borrow it from others..."
The little girl's name is Liz, and she looks very cute, but at this moment her expression is very disturbed, especially seeing the gloomy faces of her parents.
"Lise, I'm sorry..."
After a long silence, Uncle Tiangong finally spoke. He looked very disappointed, and his eyes, which were originally bright, were full of guilt at the moment.
"Dad, don't be sorry, when I get good grades this semester, the school will reward me, and then I can have money to buy it!"
Lisi tried her best to smile, but these words made Tiangong and his wife even more uncomfortable. They couldn't speak, and they could only sigh helplessly after all.
The old driver sitting next to him finally understood what was going on.
Growing up in the countryside, although he said he had never experienced the Sky City, at this moment he fully understood the difficulties of the family in front of him!
To put it simply, it is money!
Because of poverty, the child's simplest wishes cannot be satisfied. Although Lisi is a very sensible child, the pain of the Tiangong couple must be unforgettable!
The old driver really wanted to help the family, but now he was really depressed.
I have already asked Loonlado before, and he also saw with his own eyes from Tiangong that the currency of this world is completely different from that of the earth.
That is to say, the gold on earth is completely worthless here!
Under such circumstances, Su Qiubai is not only a pauper, but he is not even able to repay the fifty copper coins owed to Uncle Tiangong.
Ever since, he has been infected with this sad mood.
Originally, I thought that I would be able to see Xia Rongrong right away when I came here, but who knew that it would be difficult, and what was even more unexpected was that I would be stumped by money!
This meal is over.
Standing on the balcony, Su Qiubai vaguely heard the Tiangong couple discuss whether to sell something, the so-called parents all over the world always treat their children in the same mood.
As for Liz, she sat quietly on the sofa and read a book.
Anyway, there was nothing wrong, Su Qiubai suddenly had an idea in his heart, he took the initiative to go up to Lisi to ask, and wanted to know if there was anything like a pawn shop around.
He still has some messy things like jade pendants on his body, and he doesn't know if he can exchange them for some money. Even if he can't help Tiangong's family by then, at least he can pay off the debt.
Although Lisi didn't know what Su Qiubai was going to do, she quickly told him that there was a shop on the street not far downstairs, which could be used as things!
Before the little girl asked again what Su Qiubai was going to be, the old driver had already left.
Who would have thought that the old driver, who was omnipotent on earth, would be in such a state of desperation now.
However, it is said that a penny stumps a hero, and now that he is in the sky city, it is difficult for him to meet Xia Rongrong.
Before that, at least hope to help Tiangong's family.
What Lisi said was right, after arriving on the street, he soon saw the shop.
The scale is very large, and it looks magnificent from the outside, and the old driver was even more surprised when he entered.
The city in the sky is indeed extraordinary, and all the things in it look weird, at least Su Qiubai has never seen it before on earth.
But again, the prices of these things that he didn't know at all were surprisingly expensive!
Casual, hundreds of gold coins!
Don't think that a few hundred gold coins is a common concept. Su Qiubai has learned from Tiangong before that one gold coin here can be exchanged for one thousand coins, and one coin can be exchanged for one thousand copper coins!
The price of what Lisi wanted was only a coin, but it made Tiangong's family frown. It is conceivable that any item here is worth hundreds of gold coins!
After looking at it and remembering that he was a poor man, Su Qiubai went straight to the front counter.
"Hello, I want to be something."
While talking, Su Qiubai had already taken out his jade pendants.
These few things are not common on the earth, they are all valuable antiques, it is precisely because of this that he has the idea of giving it a try and come to this pawnshop to have a look, thinking that he can exchange some money.
As a result, the receptionist on the opposite side was quite happy at first, but after seeing these jade pendants, his eyes were full of disdain and impatience.
"Fifty copper coins."
Throwing this sentence coldly, the receptionist didn't even look at Su Qiubai again, and turned around directly to get busy with his own affairs.
On the old driver's side, there was an unbelievable feeling.
It's only worth fifty copper coins... It's not even as good as garbage!
Suddenly I felt a little depressed, and when I didn't know what to do...Su Qiubai suddenly saw something in the most conspicuous position of the whole shop.
He felt familiar, so he took a few steps closer and took a closer look.
First of all, the price surprised him. What looks like an ordinary bead is actually worth... 100,000 gold coins!
Obviously, this is the most precious thing in this store, which is why it has such a price.
However, there was another reason why Su Qiubai opened his mouth wide... because he had already recognized this thing.
The reason why he knew it was because he had seen this thing before.
Not only have I seen it, but at this moment, there is a sack full of it in the trunk of Ah Hong's scrapped car...
