Chapter 89 The Chosen One Should Not Appear at the Dock

Qu Linjiang is located at the southern border of the Violet Empire. It is named Qu Linjiang because of its rapid and curving waters.

In ancient times, the Qulin River was a natural danger and a battleground for military strategists. I don’t know how many countries used the river as their border. Although it began more than 1 years ago, due to the appearance of immortals, the role of Qulin River in defending against enemies has gradually been lost. .

But because of nearly ten thousand years of inheritance, the Violet Empire still established a border line along the river 3000 years ago.

Since then, Jiangbei has another name: God's Forbidden Zone!

To the north of Linjiang, even gods have to bow their heads to the Violet Empire.

The Qulin River stretches for more than 4 kilometers. There are hundreds of cities built by the Violet Empire along the river, and Beixiaoguan is one of them.

This was not the city that Xiao Ke's brigade had visited, but it was the closest city to them.

After the Xiao Ke brigade entered the state of [psychological invisibility], the group began to search for the city along the upper reaches, and finally arrived at Beixiao Pass when it was dark.

It's just that a curfew has been implemented at Beixiaoguan at this time, and the city gate is closed, so the four of them cannot enter the city for a while.

Naturally, they found a relatively safe place nearby to rest for the night.

Just in case.

The Xiao Ke brigade did not reappear that night.

After dawn, under the leadership of Chang Feng, the four of them walked to the gate of the city.

Several people have also agreed on their identities.

Su Jin and Yan Man pretended to be Chang Feng's nephew and niece.

It is indeed no problem to be their uncle at Chang Feng's age.

Originally, the three of them thought that they would encounter some rigorous cross-examination.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers guarding the city let a few people into the city without even asking.

There is no need to ask questions. In addition to the kingdom of gods, there is only one country left in the new world, the Violet Empire.

There is only one country, so naturally there is no need to be wary of spies.

As for the Kingdom of God.

The Violet Empire didn't care at all.

Across the Qulin River, the gods are indeed omnipotent, but Jiangbei is a forbidden area for the gods!

Even if the Goddess of Life came in person, she would only be on an equal footing with His Majesty the Emperor.

This equality is only a matter of identity.

In fact, the Goddess of Life didn't dare to cross Qu Linjiang at all, that would be tantamount to giving her life to the royal family.

In the 3000 years since the founding of the Violet Empire, the struggle between imperial power and theocracy has never stopped.

After entering the city, the three of them wandered around for a while. Chang Feng, relying on his rich experience in sneaking, found an old lady selling fruit at a stall, raised his finger to his open mouth, and let out a few powerless ahhh sounds.

The grandmother's surname is him, and the neighbors call her her mother-in-law.

His mother-in-law signed a few signs, which meant: What's the matter, can I help you?

It's a pity that the cultures and histories of the two worlds are very different, so it is naturally impossible for Chang Feng to understand the sign language of the new world.

He pointed to the house behind his mother-in-law, and made a gesture of wanting to sleep, hoping that her mother-in-law could see that they wanted to find a place to stay.

His mother-in-law sighed helplessly, looked at Su Jin and Yan Man behind Chang Feng, and asked, "My child, what do you want to do?"

Although Su Jin didn't understand the language of the New World, his mother-in-law looked at him and guessed that her mother-in-law was talking to him, imitating Chang Feng and pointing to his mouth, "Ah, ah."

Yan Man also followed suit.

His mother-in-law showed pity in her eyes. All three members of the family were deaf-mute, and none of them understood formal sign language. It seemed that poor people from remote mountainous areas came to the city to find a way to survive.

She turned her head and shouted into the room: "My wife, help me look at the stall."

"Oh, what are you going to do?" An old man came out of the house.

His mother-in-law said: "These poor people who came to the city to find a way out are all deaf and dumb and don't understand formal sign language. Can I help them arrange it?"

"Go, go." The old man said, his wife has been kind since he was a child.

If Beixiaoguan is built along the river, it naturally has a wharf.

It was the pier where his mother-in-law wanted to take Chang Feng and the three of them.

Deaf-mute people like them who don't even understand sign language can only do some physical work.

In fact, she really wanted to persuade Chang Feng and the others that it is better to go home and forget about it. Living in the city may not be better than in the countryside without any skills. Just think about it or forget about it. People, if you don’t hit the wall by yourself, you will never give up of.

It wasn't like that when she was young.

pier.

His mother-in-law found Zhang Shengwen, the foreman, "Nephew, these three children are hard-working people, can you find some work for them?"

Zhang Shengwen looked at the three of them.

Chang Feng still has some muscles on his body.

Yan Man and Su Jin couldn't do it, one was a woman and the other was as thin as a chick.

This kind of physique is not suitable for working on the dock.

But when his mother-in-law opened her mouth, it was hard for him to refuse.

If it weren't for his mother-in-law, the three Zhang Shengwen brothers would have died of starvation when they were ten years old, how could they be where they are today.

Zhang Shengwen: "Okay, you go with me to carry the goods, these two little guys can't do physical work, go to guard the warehouse, but two people can only get one's salary."

Chang Feng, who couldn't understand what he said, still pointed to the nearby houses, put his hands on the side of his head, and took a sleeping position.

"They're deaf and dumb," his mother-in-law explained.

Zhang Shengwen doesn't understand sign language like his mother-in-law.

On the contrary, this made his thinking unrestricted, and the communication with Chang Feng became smoother, and he immediately understood that Chang Feng wanted to find a place to live.

With some embarrassment, he took out a few silver coins from his bag, weighed them in his hand, pointed at the money with his finger, and then at Chang Feng.

It means that you need money to find a place to stay, do you have it?

Chang Feng nodded, and took out the stolen money from his bag, four silver coins and more than ten copper coins.

Zhang Shengwen took three silver coins out of the coins in Chang Feng's hand, stretched out three fingers and told Chang Feng that they could live for three months.

This time, Chang Feng didn't understand whether it was three silver coins to rent for a month, or it could be rented for three months.

It doesn't matter, as long as they can settle down, they may not be able to stay in this city for a month.

So he nodded with a smile.

He has been professionally trained in sneaking, and his expression is very good, which just shows the appearance that a farmer entering the city should have.

After Zhang Shengwen collected the money, he brought Chang Feng and the others to a row of low buildings.

This is a residential area specially built by the dock for migrant workers. The rent is one silver coin per month, starting from March, and one silver coin is required as a deposit.

Because it was introduced by his mother-in-law, and Chang Feng was running out of money, so Zhang Shengwen made an exception and confiscated the deposit.

After arriving at the room rented to Chang Feng and the three, his mother-in-law opened the door first and checked.

There are two beds, a table, and two stools in the room.

Other than that, nothing else.

Check for leaks, but the windows and walls are not damaged, and there will be no rain or wind leakage.

His mother-in-law nodded in satisfaction, this can be regarded as the settlement of this miserable family.

"Nephew, I'll leave it to you. I'll go home and cook for my grandson first." She said.

In the distance, there is an official ship on the river.

The two people at the bow gazed into the distance, looking at Chang Feng and the others.

One of them cupped his hands and said to the people next to him: "My lord, those two should be the chosen ones. They shouldn't be at the pier. Let's go and investigate?"
