Chapter 393 Returning to the Pig Cage Walled City (Third Watch)
It can be said that this is definitely an era of turmoil and rampant forces from all sides.However, only some impoverished communities that are not even interested in black gangs can enjoy a short period of peace.

This Pigpen Walled City is one of them.

"Master, this is the place you mentioned that is suitable for practicing kung fu?" Ah Xing opened his eyes wide and looked confused.

In Ah Xing's view, a master like a master, with such a noble status, can make him feel that it is a place to practice martial arts. It is definitely those martial arts gyms that rank high in the magic capital, but they will never do it. He was connected with a impoverished community in China. Thinking of this, Ah Xing's face became a little weird.

"Haven't you heard a word called Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger? The people here are not simple." Li Xiao left behind a meaningful sentence, ignored the incomprehensible appearance of Ah Xing scratching his head, and walked straight into it...

Pigpen Walled City can also be called Tongzilou. People who have lived here for a long time will naturally have deep feelings for it. If they have lived here for more than ten years, then the neighbors in the neighborhood are like a family. Everyone The relationship between them is also very harmonious.

Although this is a poor community with very cheap rent, the buildings here are also very distinctive.In the courtyard, the entire apartment is like a circular building like an ancient Roman Colosseum.In the middle is a spacious courtyard, like a large square, surrounded by earthy gray five-story buildings, like a "besieged city".Standing in the courtyard and looking up, it is like a frog sitting in a well watching the sky.

The double rows of stairs with a width of more than two meters are what the residents of the building are most proud of. They are also called "escalators". They stand imposingly on the north and south sides of the compound.Each staircase is divided into two passages by the cement base. The two escalators built on the north and south sides are called "white escalators", which are spacious and spacious and accompanied by lights at night; Small and no lighting.The original wide stairway and aisle are full of various sundries, if you are not careful, you will knock over other people's pots and pots or potted plants.Occasionally, a few more ancient furniture items are displayed, which is a bit more weird.

Each floor is connected by a long corridor, like several winding dragons.Inside the stairs are cage-like houses of different sizes.The gap between the houses is very small, and they are densely arranged.With the increasing number of residents, almost every family moved the kitchen to the corridor, and built additional houses in the corridor to increase the housing area and deduce the living conditions of the magic city.

Speaking of another typical feature, it is the laundry poles in the apartment, which are scattered throughout the yard. In small squares, between adjacent floors, and even between houses, bamboo poles of different sizes and lengths are stretched out, covered with beds and quilts. And clothes, which are intricate and can be seen everywhere in the entire compound.Although the parking lot and clothes-drying pole racks formed by many cars placed around the courtyard occupy most of the courtyard, the courtyard still becomes a place for people to chat in their spare time and a playground for children to run and play. From this point of view, this The architecture of Pigpen Walled City is also quite distinctive.

……

……

And it's noon now, but the residents in the community are still working hard, looking busy.Because they are living in poverty, they have to work harder in exchange for more meager income to supplement their family and life. Otherwise, they will not be able to live in places with low rents such as Pigpen Walled City. Therefore, under such pressure, they will bear even more hard work and fatigue.

If you want to settle down here, you need to rent a house first.

After inquiring from a resident here about the house where the renter-in-law lives, Li Xiao walked up the stairs to the fourth floor of the Tongzi Building, found the renter-in-law's residence, and knocked on the door outside.

"Who is it? I don't know that my old lady is putting on a mask at this time, it's your lungs."

Through a door, I heard the voice of the charter woman cursing.

The door opened from the inside, and a middle-aged woman in pink pajamas and a plastic curler wrapped around her head came out. The most striking thing was that there was a white mask on her face. If it pops up at night, it will definitely make people feel that they have encountered a ghost, and they will be shocked.

But in the room, he didn't see the figure of the charterer. He should have gone out to play mahjong, or to check the little girl's body...

"This charter woman is really fashionable and knows how to maintain it." Seeing the appearance of the charter woman, Li Xiao resisted the urge to laugh, and said calmly: "Hi, may I ask if there are any vacant houses here? We came here to rent a house."

"Oh, you guys come here to rent a house? There are two vacant houses here. It's just..."

At this time, the charter woman couldn't help but come back to her senses, looked at the two people in front of her again, and became hesitant.

One of them was dressed sloppily and looked like an ordinary person, but although the clothes on the speaker were not luxurious, they were very decent, with a handsome figure and an imposing manner , and the aura emanating from the eyebrows.

If you look carefully, this man is almost a hundred blocks away from the most handsome guy in the Pigpen Walled City. The conditions of the other party are not bad, but why did you choose to come to such a dilapidated place like the Pigpen Walled City? Is there any other purpose for renting a house?

"Why do you want to rent a house here?"

The charter woman's expression also became a little vigilant. As the owner of this place, he naturally has to question the people who live here, otherwise it will be bad if some sinister people live here.

"Well, I came back from overseas and wanted to visit the mountains and rivers of the motherland, and I happened to meet a like-minded friend on the way, but the journey has been long and I feel very tired, so I plan to live here It’s been a while.” Li Xiao moved out the rhetoric that he had thought up a long time ago.

"Oh?" The charter woman was dubious, but she looked at the person in front of her with a dignified appearance, not a villain with evil eyebrows and mouse eyes, so it is naturally not allowed to stay here.

After thinking of this, the charter woman pinched her waist with one hand and spread her five fingers with the other hand, humming: "The monthly rent here is 50 yuan. And the resources here are relatively tight, so the water will be cut off once, three, and five times. Four, five, and six intermittent water cuts, and if there is another power supply..."
