"Where is Yexiangxing?
Why do you come to my house to collect travel fees? "
On the first day after moving in, someone came to collect money, and Miss Ninth felt it was a bit much.
The rickety old man with this vicissitudes of life was already prepared in his heart. There are often people who move from the countryside to the city in this city. They don't understand the difficulty of living in the city and some rules that must be followed, such as pouring night fragrance.
So, I just wanted to explain with a smile.
Unexpectedly, a young man next to him opened his mouth to explain: "This little lady doesn't know something. It's not easy to live in this city. You have to spend money for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
For example, this night fragrance, which is used for human defecation, is naturally a good thing for fertilizing the fields in the countryside.
But in the city, it is a dirty thing that has to be paid to hire people to deal with it outside the city.
Otherwise, if he falls in the streets and alleys, he won't be able to survive for a long time. The county town will be filled with the smell of feces and urine.
So, someone thought of a way to find a few special people to collect the toilet materials from each household and go outside the city to dump them.
Paying people to send these pickled things outside the city for processing and dumping is called pouring night fragrance. "
Miss Ninth was a little confused. Although she had read books, she had never lived in the city, and she had never thought that one day they would need to pay someone to get rid of the feces and urine at home.
If you were in a rural village, the toilet waste would be piled up and fermented to fertilize the fields.
The old man first bowed to the young man and thanked him. At least he was explained to him.
Miss Ninth also looked at this young man. He should be around eighteen or nineteen years old. He was tall and thin, with a fair face. Even his clothes were very plain.
So he gave a salute: "Thank you, Master, for clarifying my doubts!"
Then he asked the old man: "The little girl just came from the country. She doesn't know the rules in this city, and she doesn't know the old man. How do I charge for pouring night fragrance?"
The old man quickly said: "The travel fee is not much, the travel fee is not much, just five cents a month!"
Five cents a month was indeed not much. When she heard this amount, Miss Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
But then I felt distressed. Five cents could buy two kilograms of grain.
But he still said to the old man: "Old man, wait a moment, I will go to the house to get the money!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked in, forgetting to close the door.
After she entered, the tall, thin young man in plain clothes walked up to the door and looked inside.
The old man who was pouring the night fragrance quickly stopped him and said, "Sir, how could you spy on a young woman like this? If you do this, wouldn't you ruin someone else's reputation?"
Unexpectedly, the tall and thin young man suddenly turned around and glared at the old man with sharp eyes: "Don't meddle in other people's business and be careful of your own flesh and blood. You must know that your old bones and sticks can't withstand the torment!"
The old man was so frightened by the sudden sharp gaze that he took two steps back. His lips trembled twice and he no longer dared to speak.
The tall and thin young man looked sideways in from the door. From the door, he could vaguely see that there was no one else inside except a six or seven-year-old child, and no man's voice was heard inside.
After looking at it twice, he gave the old man a hard look and said, "If you dare to talk too much and talk too much, be careful of the physical pain you suffer!"
After saying that, he left.
At this time, Miss Ninth walked out again, but this time she was followed by Old Man Zuo.
"Keep the old man waiting!"
Seeing Miss Ninth again, the old man pouring night fragrance moved his lips and wanted to say something but seemed to dare not.
After Old Man Zuo came out, he saw the old man pouring Yexiang and asked, "Old brother, you said you are in the Yexiang business. Do you have proof when you come to collect money?"
The old man pouring the night fragrance quickly replied: "Of course there is!"
After saying that, he lifted up his clothes, and there was a wooden sign hanging on the belt around his waist, with the two characters "Ye Xiang" on it.
"This is the voucher for Ye Xiangxing, five coins per month, for every household, no matter how big or small it is for a family of ten or less!
But if it exceeds a family of ten, the cost will increase! "
Old man Zuo looked at it and nodded: "Give it!"
Miss Ninth gave her five cents, and the old man told her what time in the morning he would come to collect the toilet and that there would be a ringing bell.
Looking at the old man walking away, Miss Ninth sighed with emotion: "It turns out that in this county, it's really different from the countryside!"
Old Man Zuo nodded and said: "Of course it should be like this, otherwise everyone would live in the county town.
The poor should not be able to live in the county. If the poor all live in the county, how will they make a living?
Rich people living in the county naturally have to spend some money and let the poor work for them, so that they can enjoy their lives.
However, don’t just give it to someone who comes and asks for money. You have to ask clearly why it is done and have proof!
After all, there are many rich people in this city, and there are also many scammers!
Therefore, you need to keep your eyes open when living in this county! "
Miss Ninth nodded, thinking what her grandfather said was reasonable. For example, if the old man was a liar and she was easily defrauded of her money, then other liars would feel that she was easy to bully, and they would flock to her.
Then wouldn’t he be deceived and bankrupt?
Although you may bankrupt yourself and you may not be able to get much money by defrauding you, it is not good to be deceived, right?
"Grandpa, come in quickly and teach me how to practice shooting!"
Dunzi ran out with Bu Shu in his arms, pulled the old man Zuo and walked towards the door.
Thirty steps away in the alley, at the corner, the tall and thin young man leaned gently against the wall, looking away from the corner of his eyes.
"One old, one young, one girl, hey hey hey..."
When the old man at the door was pulled in by the child, the woman followed and closed the door.
The tall and thin young man stood up straight, patted his plain clothes, and left leisurely.
Chen Yun doesn't know this, he is busy now.
Luo Dutou sent him 10 civilian soldiers to cooperate with Li Captou and others in the search and enquiry.
What Chen Yun had to do was very simple. He just followed him all the way. Every time he went to a home where a child was missing, he would use his own evil spirit to sense whether there were any strange things in the house, such as the evil spirit of monsters and ghosts.
To be honest, not really.
Li Captou took him to eight houses in a row, but he didn't feel any evil spirits, whether it was monsters or ghosts.
After traveling to eight places in the city and finding nothing, Capt. Li still couldn't find any clues despite inquiries from his family members, so he had to withdraw his troops for the time being and wait until tomorrow.
There is no other way, the head catcher is not a god.
"Afraid of being taken away by some beauty photographers, the girls are usually sent to other places and sold to brothels. They still have a few years to live peacefully before they grow up.
It’s so miserable for boys!
They pick and cut the raw materials, break their hands and feet, and bend them into grotesque shapes, and then throw them out on the street to beg for people to look at.
The rarer it is, the more money you make!
Some time ago, a beggar gang was arrested in Fucheng. They abducted children, cut off their hands and feet, raised them in jars, and then exposed their heads.
There was a girl who was sixteen years old. She had a very beautiful head, but only her head stuck out of the jar.
Those people regarded her as a beautiful snake and made money by performing on the street, just because she was so strange that she made countless money every day!
Later, someone broke the jar and tried to rescue her, but found that the body inside the jar had curled up and looked like an insect.
It’s unbearable to look at!
Finally, the girl saw her body and begged for someone to beat her to death. She didn't even have arms or legs, and someone handed her a knife, so she couldn't die on her own. "
On the way back to the county government office, Capt. Li told Chen Yun his suspicions with a serious look on his face.
His words also made Chen Yun feel bad.
"Okay, let me just say this, as long as we find these people quickly, we can save these children!
But that has to wait until dawn. Today is your first day on duty and you will be busy until dusk.
Go back early so that your siblings won’t worry! "
Chen Yun didn't know that someone was staring at their door not far from their home.
"From this afternoon to this time, was there any oversight?"
The tall and thin young man was questioning someone carefully.
The man was a beggar. He had been staying here since the afternoon, but he had never been to a busy place. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an informant.
"There was no omission. No man came in or out of that house, but the old man took a six- or seven-year-old boy out for a walk and then came back!
At this time, there should be an old man, a young man and a woman in the courtyard! "
