Pei Yubing walked on the street and saw that the market was bustling with people, horses croaking, various stalls crowded the road, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going, which formed a sharp contrast with other places.
The refugees were all arranged to gather in one place.
Pei Yubing looked at Nuo Da's Luocheng and felt that there was no place to stay. She held her chest and vaguely felt that something bad was going to happen. She sighed and walked to a snack stall unknowingly.
The store owner smiled and said, "Girl, our dim sum, especially the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, is the most delicious. Even the current emperor prefers this one and praises it full of praise."
Pei Yubing nodded and asked, "How much?"
The store owner made a gesture.
Pei Yubing: "Ten articles?"
The shopkeeper nodded vigorously, "Yes, sir."
Pei Yubing picked up a pile, paid ten coins, and turned around to leave.
Pei Yubing took out a piece and put it in his mouth, and couldn't help but think of Pei Shuxue and his parents eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake just like the weather today.
Pei Yubing returned to her thoughts and looked at a figure not far away that swayed and disappeared. Pei Yubing was stunned for a moment and she could not mistake that figure as that of Pei Shuxue. She hurriedly ran there.
Pei Yubing ran into the alley and was slightly stunned when he saw that there was no one around.
Pei Yubing wondered if she missed Pei Shuxue so much that she...
Pei Yubing knew that she needed to make a living now, so she started to look for anyone to recruit her, but unfortunately she didn't find anyone suitable.
Pei Yubing continued to walk forward and found that there were many people gathered in front of her. She looked inside and saw that it was Chu Huizhou wearing a mask?
In front of me, I saw Chu Huizhou shaking his feather fan with his slender fingers and talking interesting words, which attracted a lot of onlookers, especially women.
When Chu Huizhou saw Pei Yubing coming, he said, "Thank you for your support today. I'll stop here today." He dispersed the crowd around him, but some still refused to leave, which put Chu Huizhou in trouble.
Suddenly, Chu Huizhou came up with a good idea and walked towards Pei Yubing. He took Pei Yubing's hand and said humbly to the women who refused to leave, "I'm sorry, my wife will pick me up today."
After Chu Huizhou said these words, the people dispersed. Chu Huizhou looked at Pei Yubing and found that he was still holding Pei Yubing's hand and quickly let go, "Miss Pei, I didn't mean it. I just wanted to let the rest of the people go." Leave." Chu Huizhou's ears turned slightly red.
Pei Yubing nodded, looked at him and smiled, "You make a lot of money."
Chu Huizhou picked up the rewards and counted them and laughed, "They are quite generous. I didn't work three taels of silver in vain all day."
Pei Yubing raised the corners of his lips, "Congratulations."
Chu Huizhou and Pei Yubing said in unison, "You..."
The two looked at each other and said at the same time, "You speak first."
Chu Huizhou scratched his head and looked at Pei Yubing, "Have you found Pei Shuxue and Jiang Yun?"
Pei Yubing: "Not yet. Do you plan to do this next time?"
Chu Huizhou smiled silently and motioned for Pei Yubing to follow him. The two of them went to a wine shop, ordered some of Pei Yubing's and his favorite food, took off the mask he was wearing, and then slowly returned and said, "It depends on your mood."
As the waiter served the food, the two of them were very full. Pei Yubing whispered, "Thank you, Chu Huizhou." Chu Huizhou was closer, so in fact Chu Huizhou heard it, but he still came to Pei Yubing's side, "What did you just say loudly?" A little." He looked at Pei Yubing with a wicked smile.
After the two went out, they planned to go back to the inn. On the street, a child pulled Pei Yubing's sleeve slightly. Pei Yubing turned around and looked at him, "What's wrong?" The child didn't speak. Chu Huizhou rubbed his head, "Kid, Why are you stopping us?"
The child looked at them, "Brother, sister, don't go anywhere." The two looked at each other and Chu Huizhou asked, "Why can't you go there?" The child didn't say anything, and Chu Huizhou pretended that he was going in. In the alley, the child quickly grabbed Chu Huizhou's sleeve, "Brother, don't... don't go where there are bad people."
Chu Huizhou looked at the child in front of him, "Who is this bad guy? Can you talk to your elder brother?" The child stopped talking.
Pei Yubing opened the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand and gave it to the child. He also sent one to Chu Huizhou. The child held the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hands without eating it. There was clearly a look of longing in his eyes.
Pei Yubing smiled slightly, "Why don't you eat?" The child shook his head, "I...I will feel full if I don't eat."
Pei Yubing lost his mind and took out another piece and put it in his hand. "That's two pieces. You can eat one first."
The child held it in front of Pei Yubing's face with his little hands. "Sister, take it away. I only need one piece. I don't need two pieces."
Just when the child was talking, Chu Huizhou stuffed the child's mouth with his backhand with quick eyes and hands. The child was stunned for a long time and burst into tears.
Chu Huizhou was confused, "Isn't that true? Could it be that it's so delicious that it makes you cry?"
The child took small bites in his mouth as if he were eating rare and precious delicacies.
Chu Huizhou asked again, "Who is in that alley?"
When the child heard this, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his mouth fell to the ground, and he quickly picked it up and continued to put it in his mouth.
Then he said softly, "I don't know very well, I just heard some adults say it."
This small alley is not eye-catching, with mottled and old brick walls on both sides, and the corners are covered with weeds and moss.
I heard that whenever night falls, there will be women crying, children screaming and other miserable sounds...
There is an unknown secret in the alley - there is a gang hidden here. This gang is called the "Beggars Gang" and they identify each other with unique symbols and secret codes.
The original members of the "Beggars Gang" were beggars from the lowest level. Some of them were disabled, and many were forced to become beggars.
In the corner of the alley, there is an extremely dilapidated hut, which is the headquarters of the "Beggars Gang". The room was filled with the mixed smell of blood and sweat, and various tools were hung on the walls. Whenever night falls, gang members gather here to discuss action plans.
The original Beggar Gang had a relatively large number of people. Until recently, a few people kept spreading rumors that there was a man in the headquarters who was crazy about cannibalism and other rumors. They all relied on each other at first, but after a large number of people were reduced, there were rumors. Some people even stop going after hearing that.
The child tugged on Pei Yubing's sleeve, "Sister, this is all I know, please don't go anywhere." As he spoke, tears almost came out.
Pei Yubing gently rubbed his head and said softly, "Okay, okay, I won't listen to you anymore."
