In the afternoon, Su Qingyu planned to go to the market in Ping'an City and buy the white paper, silver needles, bells, oil lamps and copper coins mentioned in the rules.
My younger sister, Su Xiaohua, clamored to come along.
Mother asked Su Qingyu to bring her sister with her.
Under the premise that Su Xiaohua repeatedly promised not to be naughty, Su Qingyu took Su Xiaohua's hand and took her out together.
In the market, the vendors drove carts and sold pulp, some carried poles to sell, and some set up stalls.
There will be soldiers patrolling the city.
On the stalls along the street, there are fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as various hosta bracelets, and coarse cloth handwoven by farm girls. The vendors are shouting about their products, as if this is really a paradise isolated from the world. .
However, the lively market reveals a hint of weirdness.
In the dark alleys of the streets, there will be some neatly dressed beggars sitting. They do not come out of the alleys to ask for money from passers-by. Instead, they sit in a group of people leaning together and sitting sluggishly.
There was not a single dog on the streets.
In the market, Su Qingyu saw several dog meat shops.
[Safe City] Rule 5.
[Do not raise dogs in Ping An City and stay away from people who eat dog meat. 】
The shop owner will stand at the door and warmly invite everyone passing by to taste the meat for free.
Most passers-by looked horrified and waved their hands in refusal.
But the beggars in the alley will come out at this time and ask the boss for dog meat.
The boss hated them very much. Not only would he not give it to them, he would scold them and even throw boiling water at them.
Some beggars came to buy the meat with ghost coins, so the boss threw the meat on the ground and cursed secretly for bad luck.
But those beggars would not be angry, but would lie on the ground, hold the meat in their mouths, and go back into the alley again.
Dog meat will drive beggars in the alleys crazy.
If you eat too much meat, you will feel addicted. If you don't eat it, you will feel uncomfortable.
Su Qingyu tried to avoid those dog meat shops.
Su Xiaohua is a greedy little cat who has never seen the world. When she was in the Governor's Mansion, she made sure she was well behaved. When she left the house, she wanted everything she saw.
"Sister, I want to eat candied haws, a candy man, and a roasted sweet potato." Su Xiaohua pulled Su Qingyu's sleeve and shook it back and forth.
"Do you have any money?"
Su Xiaohua opened her round eyes: "No, but I want to eat."
"Then choose one of the three, don't be greedy."
"I like candied haws!" Su Xiaohua simply chose the biggest one.
Su Qingyu saw that the man selling candied haws on a stick was a normal human being, so he bought a bunch and gave them to Su Xiaohua.
"Wow, sister, you are so kind." Su Xiaohua took a bite of the candied haws with satisfaction, and her mouth was covered with syrup. "Sister, the silver and the coins are all at my mother's place. Where did you get the coins to buy me the candied haws? ?”
Su Qingyu casually gave a reason: "The eldest young master gave it to me. The eldest young master and I have a marriage contract. He saw that I first came here, so he gave me some ghost coins."
"I didn't give you any coins."
A man's voice came suddenly from behind.
Su Qingyu turned around and saw the eldest young master wearing a military uniform and a metal badge on his chest. The badge shone with silvery white light and appeared in the market.
He has a resolute face with sharp edges, his hair is neatly combed back, he wears a military cap, and his face has a serious expression.
Was he talking just now?
Su Qingyu turned around to look at him, but he said nothing.
The eldest young master was holding the dog meat he had just purchased and was standing there motionless, looking at Su Qingyu.
"Young Master, you also come out to visit the market." Su Qingyu took the lead to break this embarrassing situation.
But the eldest young master still didn't speak.
[Safe City] Rule 3.
[Beware of taciturn people, corpses usually don't talk. 】
Is it possible that the eldest young master has been so polluted that he cannot speak like a normal person? The taciturn person mentioned in the third rule refers to the eldest young master?
If this is the case, when looking for a clean marriage partner, the young master should be excluded first.
Is it really that simple?
Su Qingyu maintained a wait-and-see attitude.
She tried to communicate with the eldest young master, but no matter what she said, the eldest young master did not respond.
He stood there like a dummy.
Su Qingyu thought the eldest young master was strange, so he pulled Su Xiaohua away who was eating candied haws and watching the fun.
As soon as she turned around, the young master's deep voice came from behind again.
"You are my fiancée. I have something to give you. Come with me."
what's the situation?
Su Qingyu turned around again.
"Were you talking just now? Where did you ask me to go with you?"
The eldest young master still stood there, his lips tightly closed, as if the person who just spoke was not him.
Look at him and he won't speak.
Su Qingyu tried to turn her back to him.
"Come with me, I won't harm you."
Sure enough, the young master's voice came from behind again.
Su Qingyu came to the conclusion that when she faced the eldest young master, the eldest young master had no way to communicate with her.
Only when you turn your back to the eldest young master can you hear the eldest young master's voice.
"Where are you taking me?" Su Qingyu needed to make sure that place was safe.
There was no response from behind.
At this time, a hand was placed on Su Qingyu's shoulder. That hand was wearing black gloves. It was the third young master Zhao Zhishan.
"What is a person talking about on the street?"
"Third brother, why are you here?" Su Qingyu pretended not to know about the iron nails and kept her attitude as usual.
The eldest young master has disappeared.
"I'm not here, who do you want to be here?"
"Third brother is so funny, I naturally hope that third brother is here."
Zhao Zhishan's attitude was very cordial. He first touched Su Xiaohua's head, bought her another candied haws, and then said to Su Qingyu: "Miss Su, have you seen my eldest brother? There is something wrong with my eldest brother's brain. , if you see him, be sure to stay away from him, otherwise, he is likely to hurt you."
Su Qingyu asked: "Is the eldest master sick? Why is there something wrong with his brain?"
"Huh? Are you interested in my eldest brother?" Zhao Zhishan suddenly came closer and stared at Su Qingyu's eyes, as if he wanted to find out the clues in her eyes.
Su Qingyu showed him his cross-eyed look.
"Hiss—" A look of disgust flashed across Zhao Zhishan's eyes.
