The masked man gave Yuan Yuanyuan a great shock... She hid in the house for two days before she dared to go out again.
On Saturday, Yuan Yuanyuan went back to work. After she washed twice as many dishes as usual, Sister Li Zi tugged at her sleeve and led her out through the back door.
Yuan Yuanyuan was led to a street without knowing anything, a place she seldom went to on weekdays. However, after she went there this time, she found that it was a place similar to a market.
Sister Li Zi brought Yuan Yuanyuan here to see if there was anything good for her body. She felt that it was a bit abnormal for Yuan Yuanyuan to be in a coma for three consecutive days.
Dongmen Market is just a small place where monsters gather. It only opens at night. But it is the closest market to the tavern. Sister Lizi brought Yuan Yuanyuan to a place far away from the city center and walked to a huge square. There used to be a small bus station there. Later, a new bus station was built and the place was deserted for almost ten years.
Yuan Yuanyuan came here for the first time. Her work and cultivation had already consumed all her time. In addition, she had never been able to integrate into the world of monsters, so naturally she didn't know this place. She followed Sister Li Zi into the courtyard of the square and was stunned. In the night, the sky-high ghost fires were floating around, and the place was as lively as during the day.
At first glance, this place is just like a bizarre version of a market, with countless strange-looking monsters walking around and all kinds of shouting sounds ringing in the ears.
She walked along the small path left in the middle, looking at the crowded stalls on both sides, and felt like Granny Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden.
"The latest magic technique, two thousand yuan a copy, you can exchange it for magic beads, or other magic techniques..."
"A pair of freshly caught lapwings, both are very lively. If you like them, come and have a look. Hey, girl over there, come and have a look. They are both mice, so cute..."
The stalls are placed one after another everywhere, and the decorations are very unique. Each one looks like a stall in a monster story.
"Why are there people paying with RMB here?" Yuan Yuanyuan looked at people on both sides taking out gold from time to time and found the scene inexplicably funny.
"There are no fixed exchange conditions. What you bring out can satisfy the other party." Sister Lizi said: "RMB, demon beads, some small and novel things are all fine... Many old monsters pay with gold. You can guess what kind of monster he is by looking at what he brings out."
Yuan Yuanyuan complained in her heart that this was probably the reason why the monster world could never defeat the human world... There wasn't even a unified currency. When Qin Shihuang unified the world, didn't he unify the currency first
There were green ghost lights burning everywhere. She felt dizzy after walking for a while.
Sister Li Zi was obviously familiar with the route, and she walked straight into the depths. Yuan Yuanyuan was just a step slower, and was surrounded by a group of messy monsters. They all had their own merchandise in their hands, and were enthusiastically trying to sell it to Yuan Yuanyuan.
"Come, come, girl, take a look at this piece of warm jade..."
"Come on, girl. We have a batch of newly made clothes with defensive magic spells embroidered on them. They will look great on you."
"Make way, make way, please, please make way." Yuan Yuanyuan trembled with fear as she emerged from the crowd. Her clothes were tugged at several times by some unknown monsters. She quickly caught up with Sister Li Zi. Sister Li Zi heard the sound and glanced at her, saying, "Why are you so careless? Follow closely."
"Oh." Yuan Yuanyuan nodded repeatedly and was brought by Sister Li Zi to a tent embroidered with several black lotus flowers. Sister Li Zi went in first and asked Yuan Yuanyuan to wait. Yuan Yuanyuan stood in front of the tent, rubbing her hands to keep warm.
It's just... so damn cold here.
This was definitely not a mistake on Yuan Yuanyuan's part. She saw the breath she exhaled turned into white mist. For some reason, the temperature would usually drop wherever monsters gathered, even if there were fire monsters inside.
After a while, she suddenly saw the door of the tent in front of her was opened. Sister Li Zi held the door with one hand, and half of her head stuck out, and said to her, "Come here, let the owner take a look at your condition."
Yuan Yuanyuan walked over foolishly, and suddenly a long silk thread was thrown out from the tent and wrapped around her wrist.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't dare to move for a moment.
The thread was only wrapped for less than half a minute before it retracted, and Sister Lizi followed suit and retracted into the tent. Yuan Yuanyuan waited outside for a while, and then saw her come out, holding a large lotus leaf in her hand and throwing it to her, saying, "Go back, eat one pack a day, and the money will be deducted from your wages."
Yuan Yuanyuan returned to the kitchen from the market and opened the lotus leaf bag. She felt that she was in a coma for three days and it was nothing more than a little anemia. As for deeper problems, she estimated that others would not be able to see it. She still had confidence in Ji Qiu.
When the lotus leaf bag was opened, there was actually a huge shell inside. The shell was as big as Yuan Yuanyuan's two hands. She held the big shell in her hands and opened it. Inside the big shell were actually many small shells, colorful and full.
"The doctor said you lost too much blood." Sister Lizi said, "Don't worry, you can make the magic bead anytime. One or two days won't be too much."
Yuan Yuanyuan took a small shell in her hand and looked at it. It was very small. She pried it open along the gap. Inside were two small red beads that gave off a bitter taste.
Is this the medicine for monsters
Yuan Yuanyuan took a glass of water, took two pills and swallowed them, then threw the shell to the four groups on the side to play with.
"Hurry up and see if that picture book has been updated." Sister Li Zi has been paying special attention to "Monster Records" since it was featured in Group 4.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the time and decided not to rush, so she sat on a small stool and watched the four groups play with shells.
When it was twelve o'clock, she opened Mengman and was not surprised to see that the conversation between herself and the masked man in black a few days ago was drawn into the comic.
When she saw herself appear, Yuan Yuanyuan sighed, and she knew everything that happened next. She threw her phone to Sister Li Zi, and squatted over to play with the shells with Siqun.
Sister Li Zi was looking at the contents of the comic. The background was a dark night. The masked man in black said coldly, "I thought you were dead a long time ago."
Since you are alive, do you still want to come back
Yuan's expression in the painting looks very calm, even a little cold.
He lowered his head, his almond-shaped eyes were lightly covered by his bangs, and no fluctuation in his eyes could be seen.
Yuan Yuanyuan was washing shells over there, thinking that the comic would not be able to find any flaws about her. She adjusted her expression in an instant, for she was afraid that this scene would be drawn in the comic.
Old friends meet and greet each other, especially when one of them has disappeared after many years... How much imagination can be aroused by this.
Yuan Yuanyuan doesn’t have many things in her mind, far less than her readers.
Oh my god... are you going to tear it apart
It didn't tear, but it felt like it was about to.
Why is Yuan so feminine when she is angry... She is worthy of being Yuan'er's mother.
Nonsense, it's obviously quite domineering, it looks like the aura of a big monster is coming out.
The main reason is that he is too thin, and that face... He doesn't look domineering at all. His lines seem quite cold, but he just feels a little pitiful... I can't stop imagining it.
Is it pitiful... He is a great god in ancient times, don't worry about it. At present, Yuan is still a big fan-attracting person. Ji Qiu will not draw him to death, but it is not certain in the future.
No, no, Yuan suddenly felt pitiful in this chapter, and I also felt it was very strange. Generally speaking, such a domineering character should not be pitiful, but Ji Qiu drew him to be a bit miserable... I don't know why.
She has a very strange temperament, of course you boys can’t see it, but why do I suddenly feel a little distressed... Poor little thing, come here, give me a hug.
… I don’t understand you women. He’s a big and powerful monster. If he knew you said that about him, he would probably vomit blood and die.
Uh... How can I be pitiful? Why didn’t I, the person involved, see that
Not to mention the readers, even Yuan Yuanyuan herself couldn't help but imagine it. She thought that it was probably because of the red jade on her chest that those people mistook her for me. As for the different appearance, it was probably that the monster was also good at changing shape.
She waited for Sister Li to finish reading the comic and threw the phone back to her. After Sister Li finished reading the comic, she said, "Fortunately, Group 4 only let him draw it once. Whoever wants to get involved in this mess can do so. We should all stay away from it."
Yuan Yuanyuan looked up and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't they say that people often drew this kind of picture book before?"
"This time it's different." This was all Sister Li said.
Yuan Yuanyuan wanted to get something out of Sister Li Zi, but when she saw that she refused to say anything, she stopped talking about it. She turned around and looked at Si Qun who was still playing with shells, and walked over to him and asked quietly, "Hey, what does your sister mean?"
"She, she was saying that the girl named Ji Qiu doesn't paint well." Siqun raised his head and looked at Yuan Yuanyuan seriously with his big watery eyes.
Yuan Yuanyuan reached out and stroked a handful of stray hair from Siqun. Although what he said was the same as if he hadn't said anything, the child was quite pitiful, so she didn't force him.
When Yuan Yuanyuan returned home, she was still thinking about the words that person said that day. War, death, tombstone, winning the lottery, survivors... Putting these words together, it was almost a story about a monster who participated in the war and became the only survivor. The means by which he became a survivor might not be very glorious, so this allowed him to survive successfully.
That's why he was called a traitor and a coward.
Yuan Yuanyuan touched the jade on her chest. If she remembered correctly, Ji Qiu said at that time that she was replacing another tragic male supporting role, so the previous owner of the jade was probably the monster who fled from the battlefield.
What does this monster look like...
Yuan Yuanyuan thought that there must be a monster who knew what happened back then, but looking at everyone's state, it was obvious that they all knew but were unwilling to say it.
This must be a very big deal. Sister Li must know something, so she said not to get involved.
But what should I do now that she has already gotten involved
Yuan Yuanyuan sat up from the bed. In this situation, doing nothing might be the best option, but the longer she delayed, the greater the risk.
It is better to take the initiative and find some truth so that you won’t be so confused.
Yuan Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and came up with an idea. The next day, she set out for work an hour earlier than usual and came to the market at the abandoned bus station alone. As soon as she entered, she glanced around. There was still a lot of noise, but no monster came to pull her like yesterday.
She was transformed today, wearing a randomly bought dust mask on her face and a black jacket.
Yuan Yuanyuan felt that ever since she practiced the Blood Jade Demon Art, there was always a faint smell of blood on her body after she transformed. Other monsters also had a very sensitive sense of smell and naturally would not ignore it.
She walked around, picking out magic techniques from the stalls. She knew that these techniques might not be very good, but there was one very peculiar thing about them - they usually came with travel notes.
Yuan Yuanyuan just wanted to see if there were any sorcery spells related to what happened back then.
After walking around, she inexplicably came to the place where she and Sister Lizi came yesterday. After looking at the black lotus on it, Yuan Yuanyuan lowered her head and continued to pick.
After she picked up a few books at random and went back, a head suddenly popped out of the black lotus tent. A girl with a lotus on her head leaned half of her body out and looked outside. Her eyes were blue and very penetrating.
The blue-eyed girl sniffed outside and finally her eyes stopped on a small stall.
Strange taste.
