Chapter 39 Black Market

Chapter 39 39. Black Market

Three days later.

Pieces of snowflakes fell, lightly clinging to the ground, rocks, roofs, and soil.

The rustling sound makes people feel a little calm.

But outside the shack, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the calm, letting Li Yuan know that he was already in a new and unfamiliar environment.

Madam Yan stood under the eaves in front of the threshold, standing on tiptoes to tie the belt of her new cloak for her man, then she hugged his waist, pressed her cheek against his chest, and said with a little worry: "Today is your day to go to the black market. The first day of.”

Li Yuan smiled and said: "There will be many such days in the future."

Madam Yan asked again: "There are many strong men in the black market, right? You"

Li Yuandao: "I will be careful."

Madam Yan responded, grabbed an oil-paper umbrella and a lunch box and handed them to him.

Li Yuandu took it, opened the umbrella, and walked into the snow.

The door to the side room had been opened early, the charcoal stove was steaming with steam, and the water in the big kettle had just boiled. Puffs and puffs of white air rushed out of the cold late winter air, which gave a sense of life.

The middle-aged woman behind the charcoal stove was slightly chubby and had a kind face. When she heard the movement, she naturally raised her head, looked at the young man walking in the snow, and shouted with a smile: "Master."

Behind her there was a boy and a girl, both cowering and hiding behind the woman, shouting: "Master."

These three are naturally Aunt Wang, who was originally next door to Li Yuan's family, and her two children.

At this time, Aunt Wang followed Mrs. Yan to Yinxi Fang, and she was grateful from the bottom of her heart.

And she is also a person who understands the rules. Now that she has followed, she has adjusted her mentality and no longer calls Li Yuan "Brother Yuan" and Yan Yu "Ms. Yan". Instead, she changes her title to "Brother Yuan". "Sir" and "Mrs."

Li Yuan walked to the door and said, "Aunt Wang, treat this place as your own home. If you have anything to say, talk to Sister Yan. Don't be reserved."

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Hey, I understand. Master, go slowly."

The black market in Yinxifang has a very strange terrain.

This is on an island in the middle of the lake in Silver Creek.

Silver Creek is said to be a stream, but in fact it is a large lake.

This lake comes from outside, most of it is outside Shanbao County, and the other half is in Shanbao County.

This has led to a situation where people from outside the county can also enter the county by waterway by boat.

However, the island where the black market is located is directly stuck on the waterway into the county. It is like a city wall that enriches the city defense of Shanbao County from the waterway.

This area is under the jurisdiction of the Blood Knife Sect and is a country within a country, so even when the Red Lotus thieves attacked the city, they never entered from here.

It is precisely because of this special terrain that many "black goods" can be traded directly from the waterway to the black market without going through the county's land routes, thus greatly enriching the types of "commodities" in the black market.

Li Yuan heard an outline of these things when he visited Cai Ze.

But now, he was standing on a awning boat heading to the black market.

Snow flows through thousands of houses, and there are overlapping ripples on the lake.

The young man was alone, wearing the red-edged Xuanyi of Xuedaomen and a navy-blue cold-proof cloak. He held an umbrella, carried a bow on his back, and sheathed his sword, standing at the bow of the ship.

The black-topped boat was like an arrow, swinging out in a blue path, then spinning and being submerged.

After a moment of burning incense, the awning boat docked, and the boatman jumped ashore and began to tie the mooring rope, waiting for the returning guests.

Li Yuan strolled down, and a man wearing an ordinary cotton-padded jacket with a knife on his waist saw his clothes and hurriedly stepped forward.

Li Yuan showed the identity token of a peripheral disciple of the Blood Knife Sect. The man said respectfully: "This is Mr. Li. I am a handyman on the island. Mr. Li asked me to welcome you here. If you come, I will take the other one to see him." ”

Little Mr. Li?

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, but then he remembered that the worshiper on the island was also named Li.

When the servants called the enshrined person Master Li, they would naturally call him Little Master Li.

Of course, this little Master Li is just a polite name, he is just a peripheral disciple who has just arrived.

"Don't call me Mr. Li, just call me Li Yuan.

Lead the way."

Immediately, he followed the handyman through the black market while carefully looking around.

Obviously, this black market is also divided into front and back.

He came from the county and landed in the south of the black market. There were some houses here. When he passed by, he could vaguely see the figures of the Blood Sword Sect disciples passing by, and there were also some handymen with swords passing between them.

Obviously, this place is relatively safe, because people and goods landing on the island from here will inevitably go through Yinxifang and pass Wu Pu's verification.

Therefore, where he landed should be the back door of the black market.

The place where Mr. Li is sitting faces outsiders from the county, and the risk is doubled. It is naturally the front door of the black market.

There were stalls, shops, and even high-rise buildings in the black market, which were somewhat different from the messy and dark places he imagined.

Li Yuan immediately adjusted his concept.

This black market is not a black market, but a black market.

In order to attract all kinds of goods, Blood Knife Sect will inevitably build "basic measures" such as shops here.

After walking for a while, Li Yuan suddenly stopped because he heard the cries of many women.

He looked sideways at an alley with an evergreen wooden entrance.

A woman's cry came from deep in the alley, and the alley seemed to lead to another place in the black market, which felt separate from here.

"Where is that?" Li Yuan asked.

"Little Mr. Li." The handyman hesitated.

"Call me Li Yuan."

"I dare not. If people find out that I call him by his name, I will not be able to survive." The servant apologized.

"Forget it, if you want to call me by this name, you can call me whatever you want."

"Yes, Master Li," the servant said with relief, and then looked at the alley entrance, "In the black market, live goods are separated from other goods. The alley is a more closed and safer place, which is dedicated to live goods."

"Live goods?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

The servant smiled and explained, "It's people. People are sold in that alley."

Li Yuan was silent for a while. He remembered what Cai Ze and Cai Ze's maid said, and then remembered the scene of buying and selling people in this chaotic world. He felt a little blocked in his heart.

But soon, he was relieved again.

Or take care of yourself and your family first. Where does so much sacrifice and sympathy come from?

But the world is like this, just go with the flow.

The servant came closer and said, "If Master Li wants to buy, we will keep an eye out for it. When we have good stuff, we will inform Master Li. Let's take a look first."

Li Yuan said nothing and nodded casually.

After a long time, he came to the northernmost part of the island, which was also the northern gate of the black market.

In front of the gate,

in the pavilion,

there was a reclining chair made of bamboo and rattan, wrapped in fluffy fur.

A man who looked extremely burly just by looking at his silhouette was lying on the reclining chair. On the ground beside him was a long-handled sword that was very different from the swords worn by people in the martial arts world. It was somewhat like the swords used by ancient generals in Li Yuan's impression. Yes, it was like Guan Yu's cold saw.

The servant led Li Yuan forward and said respectfully, "Master Li, another one is here."

The man responded with a humming sound.

Li Yuan glanced at him and saw the value of "130 (180) ~ 140 (210)" floating around him.

His pupils narrowed slightly. This was the strongest person he had ever seen.
