Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 70 Ghost City
It turns out that the so-called ghost market is the sale of some things that cannot be sold on the market. Generally, the market opens at night and closes before the sun comes out.

"Some unremarkable tomb robbers make things from there. There are many good things there, but there are also many fake ones, which are easy to get caught." Yazai introduced it to me while driving.

I listened with gusto, and when I encountered something I didn't quite understand, I would ask a few questions. When I got to the ghost market, I also got a general idea.

Yazai parked the car at the end of an alley: "The car can't go inside, we will go through this alley!"

Sure enough, when I reached the end of the alley, I heard a lot of voices coming from the front, and yellow lights also shone.

Although I have learned a lot with Yazai on the way, the impact of the ghost market on me is still great!Unlike ordinary markets, most of the stalls here are small, with only a few storefronts. The things on these stalls are strange and weird. I also saw food stamps being resold.

What made me feel uncomfortable was that the lights in the ghost market were very dim, and some stalls even had only one candle lit, so I had to go over to see what the stalls were selling.

Seeing this, I turned my head and glanced at the boy next to me. His sunglasses were still hanging on the bridge of his nose. I was really curious, could he see in such a dim light?

But I held back for a long time thinking about his reaction after asking him yesterday, so I swallowed the question back.

On the other hand, Yazai seemed to understand my thoughts, and smiled at me: "I can see."

I also laughed a few times, and followed him inside, only to find that most of the stall owners here are not yelling, and even when customers come over, they are not very enthusiastic, and only answer a few questions when someone asks.

Moreover, some of these stall owners seemed very hostile, with an earthy smell all over their bodies, as if they were not ordinary people!

Yazai explained to me in a low voice that apart from reselling people here, most of them dumped some things to sell themselves. Many of these people have been tombs, so they have an indelible earthy smell on their bodies.And they don't need to yell. Those who come often know the rules. If they are interested, they will hold hands with the seller and bargain.

I nodded knowingly, and sure enough, I saw someone in the two booths touching the price in their sleeves, and I felt fresh immediately.

Yazai pushed my head back, saying that when others are negotiating the price, the most taboo is someone staring at me.

I naturally understand this truth. It was just a moment of curiosity. With his reminder, I paid more attention and stopped looking around.

We don't have many things to prepare, because many basic things will be prepared in the department, so we only bought some medicinal materials that can be used in the deep mountains and old forests, two handy short knives, and some small things like cinnabar. thing.

I looked at the things in my hand and asked if Yazai just wanted to come here to play?

After all, you should be able to buy these things even if you don't go to the ghost market.

"Hehe, it's rare for Lao Yan to say this. Of course I have to make good use of it. You don't know, he doesn't like us coming to the ghost market very much." The boy laughed, and then dragged me around the ghost market.

But he didn't see many interesting things, so we came out of the ghost market soon.

After getting in the car, he told me that he would come again when he had the opportunity. He might not know when he would miss it, but it was a great achievement.

"What's the merit?" I asked curiously.

Hearing that Yazai glanced at me, I could feel his resentment even through the sunglasses, and sure enough, the next second he said in the same tone as a resentful woman: "You think everyone is as lucky as you, once you come in, you will be happy." With a great contribution?"

Only then did I realize that your status in 701 is also related to how many national treasures you brought back. Many of these people came in because of their special abilities.For example, Professor Xu, his extensive knowledge of various subjects allows him to occupy a high position in 701 without having to go out in person, but there are few people like me who directly hold a national treasure as a stepping stone in addition to being a grave keeper. .

"Hehe, luck, luck." I hurriedly clasped my fists together.

Who knows that Yazai said seriously, this business depends on luck!

Now I have nothing to say, but fortunately, he was just depressed for a while and then became happy again, saying that this time to go to the ancient Shu Kingdom is an opportunity, and he must perform well.

In the next few days, while I was waiting for news from Lao Yan, I hung around with Yazai. I didn't do anything serious, but I took a walk around Yanjing.

At noon that day, when Yazai and I were eating and drinking in the mutton shop again, Lao Yan sent a letter to him, telling us to go back and gather quickly.

After hearing this, Yazai and I put down our chopsticks and ran away. When we got to 701, we found two people standing in the yard besides Lao Yan!
The first thing that caught my attention was the woman with curly hair in a red shirt and black shorts on Lao Yan's right hand.

This woman is about 24 or [-] years old, her legs are straight and slender against the background of shorts, her lipsticked lips make her look very hot, and she is holding a metal jug in her hand.

I have never seen such a woman. There are not many women in the army, and all of them have the same military uniform. The only thing they can do for beauty is to add flowers to their hair.After arriving at 701, there are even fewer women. In the past two days, I saw two women wearing skirts in the intelligence team, which is already very rare.

What caught my attention even more was the black package on her back, which was as tall as a person. It was bulging and stuffed.

Then I looked at the man in his early 30s on the right side of Lao Yan. He had thin cheeks, sick skin, and stood there expressionless, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

This person looks very strange, and the weather is still hot, sometimes it is not suitable to wear long sleeves.But he was dressed in black, with long sleeves covering his fingers, no flesh was exposed except his face, and he was wearing a pair of thick deerskin gloves.

But there was no sweat on his face, and he looked really not hot.

Just as I was looking at them, the woman also glanced at me, and the man didn't even look at me.

"Chang'an, this is Miss Qiu. The one next to me is called Kunbu. You can call him Akun." Lao Yan introduced, and then introduced me to those two people.

Miss Qiu blinked at me, and smiled charmingly: "Little brother, don't be afraid, sister will protect you."

I blushed and didn't know how to respond, Lao Yan laughed and told Miss Qiu not to tease me.

Kunbu on the side just nodded lightly after hearing Lao Yan's introduction, and didn't say anything. I can understand Yazai's saying that I don't have an appetite to eat with him. No matter who looks at this sickly face It is estimated that there is not much appetite.

"We all know each other, let's go." Lao Yan pointed to the three packages at his feet, and let Yazai and I move to the car.

These three packages are all the same, Lao Yan said that he, me and Yazai each have one, Miss Qiu directly carried her own package, and Kumbu was empty-handed, so we went out like this.

I glanced at Kumbu strangely, Yazai whispered in my ear: "He doesn't need our things, have you seen his clothes?"

I nodded, and the boy's voice became even lower: "It's full of bugs, all kinds of bugs, and one of those poisonous ones can kill a whole bunch of them."

I looked at the back of Kumbu and felt creepy. Who would have thought that such an ordinary sleeve hides something that can kill people. Now I have a deeper understanding of the lack of appetite that Yazai said...

Kumbu seemed to have heard us talking about him, and looked back at us. There was no warmth in his eyes, and the boy was so frightened that he immediately jumped a meter away from me, indicating that he didn't say anything.

Kunbu didn't say anything, and turned his gaze away and continued to walk out.

Yazai patted his chest and exaggeratedly said that he was scared to death. I laughed and said: "Everyone is in the same department, how can it be so scary?"

"That's because you don't know. He is the youngest Gu king in Miaojiang's generation. He can communicate with all kinds of insects. Don't look at him looking like he has no desires. If you really provoke him, he will Putting a worm can kill you!" Yazai's look of lingering fear made me suspect that he must have been punished before.
