After calming himself down, he finally had the mood to look around the unfamiliar alley he lived in. Just now, he was so focused on catching the person who had switched places that he did not notice this important detail. What was this place? This was not his final stop. He had to take the bus to Shenzhou.
The yellow-haired guy hadn't realized this yet. When he mentioned Shenzhou, he said hopefully,""Boss, we don't have to worry when we reach Shenzhou. My uncle is very forthright and will definitely treat us well. With this money, it should not be a problem to go to Shenzhou.”
"Yes, this shouldn't be a problem.”Xiang Wentian was absent-minded. He looked around and said," Goldie, I don't think we've been here before, right? We have to get to the bus stop.”
The blonde heard him say that. Yes, this was the most important thing at the moment. The two of them had run a long way. God knew where they were. They didn't even know if it was east or west from the station. How could they go back? At first, he only cared about chasing people and didn't think about the long-term. He really didn't feel good and his expression was a little flustered.
Seeing the yellow-haired guy's uncertain expression, he had no choice but to give both of them a sedative in time and said,"Don't be afraid. This is a big city. We don't know the way. There are so many people on the street. Let's go. Let's get out of this ghost alley first. We'll just find someone to ask.”
When he walked out of the alley, he saw a relatively wide road passing horizontally. There were people walking on the road, but they seemed to be in a hurry. They probably didn't have the time to pay attention to the two foreigners. At this moment, the yellow-haired guy showed the quality of a lackey. He grabbed a young man who was passing by and asked,"Brother, how do I get to the station from here?”
Perhaps the young man didn't understand what the blonde was saying. He turned his head to look at the two of them, snorted, and walked away. Seeing this situation, he instructed the yellow-haired guy not to ask young people for directions. He should ask older people. Usually, they wouldn't lie, and they wouldn't be unenthusiastic about giving directions.
As he spoke, an old man walked over with a fan. He took the initiative to walk forward and asked as much as possible in Mandarin,"Grandpa, may I ask how to get to the bus station from here?”
The grandpa didn't leave like the young man. He tilted his head and asked,"What did you say?" These words were all spoken in the language of the south, which made him stunned. He understood that the two of them had encountered a language barrier.
In his panic, he immediately thought of another trick. He took out a pen and wrote on the cigarette box. Then, he said it word by word. The old man took his handwriting and looked at it carefully before saying,"Follow this road, go west, turn past that Chaoyang Road, then go north, and then follow"
The old man's words were like they were listening to a heavenly book. He had no choice but to trouble the old man to write down these words. This made it difficult for the old man. The old man waved his hands, indicating that he could not write them. In desperation, a rickshaw passed by.(This kind of car was banned in big cities after a few years.) The old man helped to stop the rickshaw and said,"This master can take you two to the station.”
After the two of them sat down, the rickshaw driver shouted," Sit tight." The rickshaw started moving without even bothering about the price. Sitting in the rickshaw, they could only feel the rickshaw swaying left and right, as if it had taken a long time to reach the station. The driver quoted a price of 30 yuan. The two of them were shocked. The blonde shouted,"This is just a little bit of distance, and you want so much?”
The two of them felt that no matter how far they ran, it was impossible for them to run so far, right? The master pursed his lips and was about to retort when he quickly pulled the blonde and said,""Thank you, Master. It's fine.”
After taking out the money, the master left happily and said,"Not bad, little brother."”"Boss, isn't this clearly killing us?" The blonde said angrily. Why did she give him such a good color?”
"If it wasn't for that master, you wouldn't even know where this formation is. What's there to be angry about?”Xiang Wentian looked at his master's back and knew that this road wasn't worth the price. However, he wasn't as angry as the yellow-haired guy. Since he had already robbed him of a few thousand yuan, why would he care about such a small amount of money? Moreover, it was really difficult for them to drag the two of them along.
Now, the two of them could be said to have come to Shenzhou with their bare hands to conquer the world. Goldie was also relaxed. He only had the small bag that his boss had twisted. He even had to go to Shenzhou to buy new clothes. Entering the station, he looked around. Fortunately, he did not see Meng Xin's figure. Xiang Wentian's uneasy heart calmed down slightly. Fortunately, Shenzhou was within reach. When they reached there, there were acquaintances to entertain them, so they did not have to worry about small matters.
When the two people in the car talked about the matter of the switch, Xiang Wentian felt that it was strange. The two did not know the young man. Didn't he just get off the train? Why did he have his eyes on him? The two of them didn't seem to be rich at all. This was something that they couldn't figure out no matter how hard they thought about it. In the end, they could only attribute it to bad luck. When people were unlucky, even drinking cold water was enough to make their teeth grit.
It was no wonder that the two of them could not figure it out. There was actually a cause and effect behind this. He could only blame Xiang Wentian for cutting off his source of income. The thieves on the train had a gang, so they didn't dare to cause trouble for him on the train. However, he had been robbed of everything by the gang. They had gotten him a big bag that looked exactly the same as the one on the train. That was why someone bumped into Goldie as soon as he got off the train. The weaker one among the two was undoubtedly this young man's follower.
When the car arrived at Shenzhou, the sun was already setting in the west. Although the sky wouldn't turn dark quickly in this autumn, he couldn't help but feel uncertain. He had to quickly find the brother that Goldie was talking about. Shenzhou was not as big as Nanzhou City. In terms of area, it was at most one-third of Nanzhou City. After all, Shenzhou City was just a new city that developed after the country's reform and opening up. It was prosperous, but the roads were not as complicated as those of old cities like Nanzhou City.
They bought a map of Shenzhou according to the address that the blonde had brought from home. The two of them searched for the road one after the other. This time, they didn't dare to take a taxi again. In a developed city like the south, even a rickshaw would definitely be more expensive than a car in their hometown. It was not something that the two of them could afford. They didn't have much RMB in their pockets, so it was better to walk slowly and steadily. They had to save some overnight food to not panic.
Both sides of the city's roads were filled with colorful advertisements and all kinds of shops. The cars coming and going, coupled with the unique noise of the city, made the two young people who had just arrived at the treasure land a little overwhelmed. Their heads were dizzy and they felt that everything was so fresh and full of temptation. If it were not for something on their minds, the long streets would be enough for the two of them to take a stroll. How could they see all this while staying in Sandao Town? This was something that could only be seen on television.
With anticipation and eagerness, the two of them finally arrived at the place mentioned on the address. However, this not-so-lively street did not seem to have the shop opened by the brother mentioned by Goldie, nor did they see any familiar figures. The situation in front of them made the hearts of the two young people who had just left the house tremble uncontrollably. Xiang Wentian was secretly muttering in his heart. Could it be that the house was leaking, and the rain was pouring overnight? The boat was late, and the wind was blowing. We were both good young people in society. God could not treat us like this. She was already not confident enough, and when she encountered this matter, it was not an exaggeration to say that her heart was trembling with fear.
The two of them gathered their courage and went to a few nearby shops to ask about the situation. Either they couldn't get a clear answer because of the language barrier, or they were impatient and chased them out. In the end, Xiang Wentian thought of something and took the opportunity to buy cigarettes to go to a small shop across the road to ask about the situation.
The shop owner told him that the woodworking shop had not been open for a while. It seemed to be closed. As for the specific reason, the boss naturally wouldn't worry about it. However, this news came at a very bad time. It almost made Xiang Wentian, who was as strong as a cow, collapse on the spot. Although he had a bad premonition, when the truth was laid out in front of him, it was still hard to accept. All their hopes were dashed in the blink of an eye. What else could the two of them do in this unfamiliar Shenzhou? If he really wanted to fight bare-handed, how could he go adventuring? He had no skills, no education, and no experience in going out.
Xiang Wentian crossed the road in a daze. A small car screeched, and the ear-piercing sound of the brakes woke him up. The small car barely grazed his right hand. A fat man in the car stuck his head out and cursed," Damn it, you're blind. You want to die?" He spat out a mouthful of phlegm. The thick phlegm was like a sharp sword that had been unsheathed and attacked the ignorant goose, as if it wanted to return the bad luck to him.
Shocked, Xiang Wentian instinctively dodged the attack of the phlegm. While he was still in a daze, Xiao Che had already dashed a few meters away with smoke coming out of his butt. He didn't even give Xiang Wentian a chance to vent his anger.
