Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 1507 Night Market
Lin Ming returned to the store, found shopkeeper Qian and asked for a leave of absence, saying that he wanted to go out for a stroll.

Since Lingao does not have a curfew at night, it is better to go out at night, find out the direction of the road, and then inquire about the news.

"You don't need to ask for leave if you want to go out. You can go out at will after the proofing of our shop here, as long as you remember that you have to come back before the big clock strikes ten. Otherwise, you have to ask the concierge to leave the door for you..." Shopkeeper Qian took care of it, and took out a letter from the drawer Hand folded, "You are new to Lingao, and you are not familiar with the roads. This is the map of Dongmen City printed in our shop. Although it is not very detailed, the general route is clear. You take it with you."

"Thank you shopkeeper." Lin Ming was overjoyed. Originally, he planned to "step on the plate" to explore the way in the past few days, but he didn't expect that there was a ready-made map!Now I took it and opened it to look at it, secretly saying yes, this map is very delicate, the roads and shops are clearly marked with extremely thin fonts, and it looks clear at a glance.

Although this booklet map was printed at the expense of Haixing, it has the words Haixing on Tianditou, and the locations of shops are specially marked with black circles.The actual map used is the public version of "Dongmen City Traffic and Tourism Map", which is really produced by the Remote Exploration Office.It's just that some important departments, facilities and roads have been erased because it is a civilian map.

Even so, the level of detail of this map is rare in the world.Lin Ming hid the map in his arms and walked out of the shop.

Before Lin Ming went out, he thought about it carefully. According to the usual practice of inquiring about news, he first found a lively place to "listen to the leak of the tongue"--teahouses and restaurants are good places where people from all over the world gather to chew their tongues and make a big show. Not sure what useful news can be heard.

However, he is not very sure about this method, because it has been more than two years since Li Yongxun was arrested and sent to Lingao, and it has long since lost its novelty to the people here, so no one may mention it.But now he has no choice but to try his luck.

Moreover, he has heard that some real girls also like to go to the market for entertainment. If they can wait for the opportunity to approach and try to make friends, they may get useful news and even provide convenience for their actions.In case it is really impossible to rescue, it is also a feasible way to try to kidnap a real girl and force the other party to exchange.

He originally wanted to find someone to find out which street was the busiest, and which famous restaurants and teahouses were there in Dongmen City.Now that I have a map in my hand—a cursory look, there are detailed markings for various places on it, which saves me even the effort of inquiring, and I feel secretly happy.

Lin Ming got out of the house and followed the route indicated by the brothers and sisters of the Wang family. He was going to see what Wang Jinchun's so-called prosperous night scene looked like.After only turning a corner, I found that the lights in the distance were brighter. Although there were still a few alleys away, there were already bursts of noise in my ears, so I couldn't help but quicken my pace and walk forward.

The roads here are very recognizable-the streets and houses in Dongmen City are all built on white ground, and there is no maze-like old city, so the streets and alleys are horizontal and vertical like a chessboard, square and square, except for a few arterial roads In addition to the special street names, the branch roads and alleys are all numbered with "longitude, latitude and longitude", which can be seen at a glance.There are also signposts at the end of the intersection, which is very convenient.

Lin Ming walked all the way, but he saw more and more people on the street: men and women, old and young, some dressed as thieves, and some wore Ming clothes.Some people are in a hurry, and some are strolling in the courtyard.Lin Ming could tell that although these people were dressed in different styles, none of them were extremely poor, and their complexions were also good. It was obvious that ordinary people here lived a very good life.

After walking half a street, he saw a stone archway with three rooms and four pillars standing in front of him—Lin Ming was secretly surprised, this East Gate City was built only after the robbers came, and it was originally just a wasteland by the Wenlan River, without any villages or towns , where can I get the archway?There will be no chastity archway or department name archway.When I walked in, I realized that it was newly built. The top gate was inlaid with three big characters of Song Dynasty "Dongmen City".

Walking through the archway, there are suddenly more stalls and hawkers on the street.A half-sized boy with a large square box hung by a cloth strip around his neck shouted: "Cigarettes and sweet-scented osmanthus candy!", and several little dolls were holding a stack of papers and selling: "The latest "Bow Paper" !Guangzhou Shanghai Manila, the latest CIF price today!" After a while, I heard a man standing next to a trolley with a square box shouting: "I'm pulling Australian films, I'm pulling Australian films recently! It's all because you didn't I’ve seen the new show!”, “Freshly baked takoyaki, if you don’t eat it, you haven’t been to Lingao!”, “Lingao fans! Authentic Lingao fans!”, “Big meat buns, big meat buns, White skin and lots of meat, one bite is full of oil!"

As for the vendors with fixed stalls on the street and shop facades, it is even more dizzying, but the shops here are not closed, and the lights are brightly lit, illuminating the street like daytime.There are a variety of goods and goods, and some even set up stalls at the door of the store to sell the goods.

Lin Ming only felt that his eyes were not enough to see. Originally, he thought that Guangzhou was already a rare place in the world where rare and exotic goods gathered, but he didn't expect that compared with this place, it was not even a fraction of what it was.There are many kinds of food and snacks sold at the roadside stalls that he has never seen before. He just thinks the aroma is so strong that it makes him swallow from time to time—because he is shy and doesn’t know what will be spent next. Don't dare to use money indiscriminately.

But I saw many young women in the street style clothes, in small groups, holding all kinds of snacks and snacks, playing and laughing while eating, as if there was no one else around.I couldn't help being surprised in my heart: it's shocking for a woman to go out at night, but she doesn't even have a man by her side, how decent is this?What if he was molested and abducted?

Looking at the street again, there are quite a few women without a man to accompany them, and some are even walking alone on the street.Lin Ming was speechless secretly: Needless to say, the law and order here must be excellent, but what kind of custom is it for a woman to be so wild?Even Da Song may not be like this.

"Sure enough, they are barbarians from overseas." Lin Ming secretly sighed.

"Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me." Someone behind him yelled, and a short, sturdy man dragged a car past him. The car bell jingled and ran for more than ten years. ten feet away.

At this time, there are very few horse-drawn carts and mule-drawn carts on the streets, and many "Australian carts" have replaced them.From Lin Ming's point of view, it was an armchair covered with cloth, with wheels on both sides, two long handles on the front for the driver to pull, and a few stacked bamboo bones on the backrest, which seemed to be able to support Get a hood.The coachmen wore blue cloth double-breasted jackets with a string of "big food numbers" painted on the back, and they drove the carts at high speed in the crowd, and the bells on the carts jingled non-stop.

There are hardly any sedan chairs or sliding poles in Dongmen City, and the streets are full of this kind of "Australian car" - called "rickshaw" locally.Some of them are exquisitely decorated. Not only is there a huge golden five-star on the back of the seat, but there is also a lamp on each side of the seat, which is dazzlingly bright.

In the traffic flow of the Australian cars, there were also a few Dongfeng two-wheeled carriages with Mongolian horses proudly trotting past on the street, but the driver wearing a cloak was standing behind the carriages and driving, which made Lin Ming amazed.

Strolling through the streets, he saw that the entire Dongmen City was already dark at night. Lin Ming reckoned that Xuzheng had passed by now, and the bustle and bustle of the streets remained unabated.He knew that if he was in Daming, it would be the busiest Flower Street and Willow Alley at night, and there were very few pedestrians on the street at the moment: if the guests who came to Xunfang were not listening to music and feasting in the small courtyard of the courtyard, and were planning to stay overnight, they would have already Went back to the mansion.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a four-wheeled carriage parked on the open space at the crossroads in front of him, and two Mongolian horses wearing blindfolds stood under the street lamp, eating the beans in their breast pockets.The compartment of this carriage is very large, and the decoration is also very strange: the two ends are painted black, and the middle is white.The body of the car is also painted with two large black characters in Song Dynasty: "police".There are also two lights on the front of the car, the shade is one red and the other blue.An Australian "officer" wearing a bamboo hat, a black cloth double-breasted coat, and a belt was standing on the footboard and looking around, but the upper half of another "Australian policeman" was exposed on the top of the carriage. A telescope, picked up from time to time and looked into the distance.

Lin Ming followed the direction of the binoculars on the roof of the car, but saw a tall tower not far away, as high as four or five floors.The street below is brightly lit, but there is no light on the tower, which looks dark and mysterious.Lin Ming looked intently again, only to see lights on the top of it flickering, long and short.

He looked at it for a while, and he roughly understood that the flickering of the lights was a signal.On top of this tower there must be officials from the Australian Army of the Five Cities, commanding and dispatching people there to maintain order and control the streets.

"The Kun thief really has a way!" Lin Ming was looking around, when suddenly a sentence came intermittently in his ears: "...someone...resisted arrest...immediate reinforcements..."

Lin Ming's body trembled, it was a woman's voice!Moreover, this voice belonged to his sister-in-law Li Yongxun who had been dreaming of him for several years!
He hurriedly turned around and looked over, only to see that the carriage had already started, and someone was ringing the bell on the carriage. With the rapid sound of the bell, pedestrians and vehicles on the street gave way one after another.

Lin Ming took a few steps, and was about to chase after him to see what was going on. He saw seven or eight "policemen" wearing bamboo hats and black clothes running up the street. He ran in the direction of the carriage.

Judging from this posture, there must be a major case here.Lin Ming suddenly changed his mind. At this time, it is very likely that "the whole city will be sued". The thief's government dealt directly with them, so as not to reveal their flaws.
