Hamidiya Market is centered on Hamidiya Street, with more than 50 streets running vertically, horizontally and parallelly in an overlapping zigzag shape. Walking into the long and narrow market, you can see shops lined up in rows, with people coming and going, and it is really lively. Over the street, there is a ceiling made of iron sheets. There are many windows on both sides of the iron shed. The passage of time has exposed countless small holes in the upper part, and the colorful sunlight shines in, making it exceptionally bright, as wonderful as a kaleidoscope.
Guan Heng, Jinpin and his entourage came to an inconspicuous small shop selling various handicrafts and utensils. Jinpin winked at his opponent, who walked up to the shop owner and took out something, and then muttered: After saying a few words, the shop owner nodded solemnly and led the six people into the back of the shop!
Don't look at the shabby appearance of this small handicraft shop on the outside. The further you go inside, the more magnificent it becomes! After walking for five minutes, the six people were taken to a huge living room by the shop owner. Here the whole room was hung with crimson Turkish tapestry embellished with gold flowers.
In the recess of the room, there is something like a couch, with several Arabian swords placed on it. The scabbards are gold-plated, and the hilts are inlaid with crystal-clear gems. A Venetian glass lamp hangs from the ceiling, which is strange. The shape and color are very charming; everyone is stepping on a Turkish carpet that can sink to the ankles; several glazed door curtains hang in front of the door, and another door leads to the second room, which seems to be illuminated magnificently. .
The bench next to the coffee table, the walls, and the ceiling are all covered with magnificent animal skins, which are as soft as the most precious carpets when you step on them; among them are Atlas lion skins with fluffy manes and colorful stripes. There are tiger skins from Bangladesh, scattered with gorgeous spots, leopard skins from Kapu, bear skins from Siberia, and fox skins from Norway; these skins are all laid out thickly one on top of another, as if they were in Just like walking on a racecourse with the lushest grass, or lying on the most luxurious bed.
A broad wall hung with a curtain embroidered with pictures of spring outings and hunting with gold and silver silk threads blocking the low door of the inner chamber. The embroidery work was considered the most exquisite among the finest in Damascus. The huge soft low chair was covered with a silk cover with the same exquisite embroidery. There was a particularly high coffee table around it, with a carved ivory footstool in front of it. There were at least four silver lamp stands with tall candles placed on the fireplace, illuminating the whole room and making the whole room even more magnificent!
"Hahaha - Brother Jinji, you are here, welcome, welcome!" The owner here lifted the curtain from the small door of the inner room with joy on his face and welcomed him out in person. I saw that he was about forty years old and a local aborigine. Although his skin color and appearance were extremely polite, his appearance, with deep blue eyes, hooked nose, and a sinister face, did not look like a kind person at all!
"Haha, the friends Jin Bin can make are definitely not good men and women!" Guan Heng glanced at the owner here and immediately made this judgment: "This person should also be a ruthless gang member!"
"Come on, brother Guan Heng!" Jin Bing turned to Guan Heng and said: "Let me introduce to you, this is the famous local wealthy businessman, Abdullah Schiller! I usually call him Ab, hehe , just for convenience!”
Kingpin said: "Abu is a local native, and his family has been in Damascus for thousands of years!"
"The place we are going to this time must be found by Abu himself!" Jin Bi explained to Guan Heng: "So he is an extremely important companion to us!"
"Huh? Brother Jinbin...who is this young man?" Abu stared at Guan Heng's face carefully. His eyes were not friendly, and he said to Jinbin: "Remember I told you, I accept it. The reward is only responsible for taking you and your two men to the Eastern Holy Mountain, but he... seems not to be within our agreement!"
"But this big guy seems to be a good hand at hard work! Hahaha -" Abdullah turned to look at the stone man Ben Grim: "Such a strong mutant, tsk tsk, a relatively rare type. I don’t know who is more powerful, you or my bodyguard “Qiao San”!”
"How dare you look down on my boss, you mustache?!" Huang Santai heard that A Bu's words contained a hint of looking down on Guan Heng, and he immediately became furious and wanted to step forward to take action!
"Wait Santai, don't do this nonsense!" Guan Heng stretched out his hand to stop the reckless brother. He then smiled at Jin Bing and said: "I say Mr. Jin Bing, this man is just a guide. I don't think there is any need to ask him to lead the way. How about Find someone else to cooperate with!”
Guan Heng was not an easy man. Since the other party underestimated him, Guan Heng would not give Abdulla any face. At that time, they were at odds with each other in terms of words and refused to give in to each other!
"Hmph! What an arrogant boy! He actually said something rude!" Abu was so angry that his neatly groomed mustache stood up: "Qiao San! Come here!"
"Boss, are you calling me?" I saw the small door curtain behind Abu lifted again, and a young man with a strong body and steady steps walked out quickly!
This man is about thirty-five or six years old, with a big-eared face, an unusually calm appearance, and black hair and black eyes. Judging from his clothing, he is definitely a Chinese! The most important thing is that when this man came out, he just made eye contact with Guan Heng, and a very unnatural expression suddenly appeared on his face!
"Let me introduce it to you!" Abdullah said with a somewhat proud tone: "This is the ancient Chinese martial arts master I hired at a high price - Qiao San, and he is also an invulnerable mutant!"
"Boy, I don't care who you are!" Abu looked at Guan Heng with slightly narrowed mouse eyes: "If you want to prove that you are qualified to go to ancient ruins with us, show some real skills!"
"At the very least..." Abu pointed at his bodyguard Qiao San: "If you can withstand ten moves from my bodyguard without falling down, I will let you go with me. Otherwise, you will be brought by Brother Jinpin." People like us are not qualified to go with us!"
"Hey, are you sure?" Guan Heng said with a slight smile: "Aren't you afraid that your bodyguard will lose miserably?"
"Hmph!" Abdullah simply didn't believe that his powerful mutant bodyguard and ancient martial arts master would be defeated by Guan Heng. He had a very disdainful expression on his face and ignored Guan Heng's words at all!
"Okay, brother Abu!" The fat man Jin Bing waved his big hand and started to smooth things over: "We are all friends who have just met, why should we have a quarrel? To tell you the truth, this brother Guan's skills are even better. I can barely cope with it!"
Kingpin didn't tell lies. In the battle in the building a few days ago, although the two sides only exchanged punches hastily, Kingpin was indeed slightly inferior! What did you say? !
