43, Chapter 43

That masked man shocked Yuan Yuanyuan... She hid in the house for two days before she dared to go out again.

On Saturday, Yuan Yuanyuan returned to work. After she washed twice as many dishes as usual, Sister Lizi tugged on her sleeves and led her out the back door.

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know anything and was led to a street where she rarely went. However, after she went there this time, she discovered that it turned out to be a place similar to a market.

Sister Lizi brought Yuan Yuanyuan here because she wanted to take her to see if there was anything good for her health. She felt that it was a bit abnormal for Yuan Yuanyuan to sleep for three consecutive days.

Dongmen Market is just a small place where monsters gather, and only the evening market is open there. But it's the closest market to the tavern. Sister Lizi took Yuan Yuanyuan to a place far away from the city center and walked to a huge square. It used to be a small bus station. Later, a new bus station was built, and it has been deserted for almost ten years.

Yuan Yuanyuan came here for the first time, and her daily work and practice had already consumed all her time. In addition, she had never been able to integrate into the world of monsters, so naturally she didn't know this place. As soon as she followed Sister Lizi into the courtyard of the square, she was dumbfounded. In the night, will-o'-the-wisps were floating around, and the place was as lively as during the day.

At a glance, this place is like a strange-looking version of a market. Countless strange-looking monsters are walking around here, and all kinds of shouting sounds are endless.

She walked on the path that was left in the middle and looked at the crowded stalls on both sides. She felt that she was Grandma Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden.

"The latest sorcery skills cost two thousand yuan each. You can exchange them with demon beads, or you can exchange them with other sorcery skills..."

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving or before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here]

"A pair of golden rats were just caught. They are all very lively. If you like it, come and take a look. Hey, girl over there, come and take a look. They are both mice. How cute..."

The stalls all around are placed one after another, and the decoration is particularly unique. Each one looks like a stall in a monster story.

"Why are there people paying bills in Renminbi here?" Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the people on both sides taking out rich people's gold from time to time, and found this scene inexplicably funny.

"There are no fixed terms of exchange here, as long as the things you bring out can satisfy the other party." Sister Lizi said: "RMB, demon beads, some small and novel things will do... There are many old monsters who use gold to pay their bills. Yes, you can almost guess what kind of monster he is by looking at what they brought out."

Yuan Yuanyuan complained in her heart, this is probably the reason why the monster world has never been able to overwhelm the human world... There is not even a unified currency. Thinking back when Qin Shihuang unified the world, didn't he unify the currency first?

There were lit will-o'-the-wisps everywhere, and they were green. She only walked for a while before she felt dizzy.

Sister Lizi was obviously familiar with the road. She walked straight towards the depths. Yuan Yuanyuan was just a step slower and was surrounded by a group of random monsters. They all held their own products in their hands and were enthusiastic about Yuan Yuanyuan. Promoting.

"Come on, come on, girl, look at this piece of warm jade..."

"Let's go, girl, we have a batch of newly made clothes there, and they are also embroidered with defensive demon arts. They will look good on you."

"Give me a moment, give me a moment, I'm sorry, please give me a moment." Yuan Yuanyuan emerged from the crowd fearfully. Her clothes were pulled several times by several unknown monsters. She quickly caught up with Sister Lizi, and Sister Lizi heard the sound. He glanced at her and said, "Why are you so careless? Follow closely."

"Oh." Yuan Yuanyuan nodded repeatedly and was led by Sister Lizi to a tent embroidered with several black lotus flowers. Sister Lizi got in first and asked Yuan Yuanyuan to wait. Yuan Yuanyuan stood in front of the tent. , constantly rubbing his hands to keep warm.

It's just... so cold here.

This was definitely not Yuan Yuanyuan's perception error. She saw her breath turning into white mist. She didn't know why, but wherever monsters gathered, the temperature usually dropped, even if there were fire monsters inside.

After a while, she suddenly saw the tent door in front of her being opened. Sister Lizi was holding the tent door with one hand, sticking out half of her head and saying to her, "Come here and let the shopkeeper see your situation."

Yuan Yuanyuan walked over stupidly, and suddenly a long silk thread was thrown out from the tent, and it was wrapped around her wrist.

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't dare to move for a moment.

The silk thread only lasted for less than half a minute before it was retracted, and Sister Lizi also retracted into the tent. Yuan Yuanyuan waited outside for a while, then saw her walking out, holding a big lotus leaf in her hand and throwing it to her, saying, "Go back and eat one pack a day, and the money will be deducted from your wages."

Yuan Yuanyuan returned to the kitchen from the market and opened the lotus leaf bag. She felt that she had been in a coma for three days because she was a little anemic. As for the deeper things, she probably couldn't tell others. She still had feelings for Ji Qiu. Confident.

After opening the lotus leaf bag, there was actually a huge shell inside. The shell was as big as Yuanyuan's two hands. She held the big shell and opened it again. Inside the big shell was actually a small shell. Colorful and packed.

"The doctor said you lost too much blood." Sister Li Zi said, "Don't be so anxious, the demon beads can be made anytime, one or two days won't make a difference."

Yuan Yuanyuan took a small shell in her hand and looked at it. It was small. She pried it open along the gap. There were two small red beads inside, emitting a bitter taste.

Is this thing the medicine for the demons?

Yuan Yuanyuan took a glass of water, took two pills and swallowed them, and then threw the shell to Siqun on the side to play.

"Hurry up and see if the picture book has been updated." Sister Li Zi has been paying special attention to Siqun since she appeared in "Demon Records" once.

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the time and was not in a hurry, so she sat on a small stool and watched Siqun play with the shell.

When it was twelve o'clock, she opened Mengman and was not surprised to see that the conversation between her and the masked man in black a few days ago was drawn into the comics.

When she saw herself appearing, Yuan Yuanyuan sighed, and she knew everything that happened later. She threw her phone to Sister Li Zi, and squatted over to play with shells with Si Qun.

Sister Li Zi looked at the content on the comic, with the background of the dark night. The masked man in black said coldly, "I thought you were already dead. 】

[Since you are alive, do you still want to come back? 】

The expression of Yuan in the picture looked very calm, even a little cold.

He lowered his head, and his phoenix eyes were lightly covered by his bangs, and the fluctuations in his eyes could not be seen.

Yuan Yuanyuan was washing shells over there, thinking that there would be no flaws in her in the comic. She adjusted her expression at that moment, just because she was afraid that this scene would be drawn in the comic.

Old friends meet and greet each other, especially when one party disappears after many years... How much imagination can this cause.

Yuan Yuanyuan's imagination is not much, far less than that of readers.

[Oh my... are they going to tear it apart? ]

[No, but it feels like it will soon. ]

[Why is Yuan so feminine when he is angry... She is worthy of being Xiao Yuan'er's mother. ]

[Nonsense, he's obviously quite domineering, it looks like he has the aura of a big monster. ]

[The main reason is that he's too thin, and that face... he doesn't look domineering at all. The lines seem quite cold, but I feel a little pitiful... I can't stop imagining it. ]

[Poor... He's a great god from the ancient times, don't worry about it, Yuan is still a big fan, Ji Qiu won't draw him to death, but it may not be the case in the future. ]

[No, no, Yuan suddenly felt pitiful in this chapter, I also felt it was very strange, generally speaking, such a domineering character should not be pitiful, but Ji Qiu drew him a little miserable... I don't know why. ]

[There is a very strange temperament, of course you guys can't see it, why do I suddenly feel a little distressed... Poor little thing, come to your sister to hug. ]

[... I don't understand you women, he's a great monster, if he knew you said that to him, he would probably vomit blood and die. ]

Uh... Where is the pity, why didn't I see it?

Not to mention the readers, even Yuan Yuanyuan herself couldn't help but imagine it. She thought that it was probably because of the red jade on her chest that those people mistook me. As for the different appearance, it was probably that the monster was also good at illusion.

She waited for Sister Li Zi to finish reading the comics, and threw the phone back to her. After Sister Li Zi finished reading the comics, she said, "Fortunately, Siqun only let him draw it once. Whoever wants to get involved in this mess can get involved. We all stay away from it."

Yuan Yuanyuan looked up and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you say that people often draw this kind of picture book before?"

"This time it's different." Sister Li Zi only said this.

Yuan Yuanyuan wanted to get something out of Sister Li Zi's mouth, but seeing that she refused to say it, she didn't mention it anymore. She turned around and looked at Siqun who was still playing with shells, leaned over, and asked quietly, "Hey, what does your sister mean?"

"She, she said that the one called Ji Qiu didn't draw well." Siqun raised his head and looked at Yuan Yuanyuan seriously with a pair of watery eyes.

Yuan Yuanyuan reached out and stroked the stray hair of the four groups. Although what he said was the same as not saying anything, the child was quite pitiful, so she didn't force him.

When Yuan Yuanyuan returned home, she was still thinking about the words of that person that day. War, death, tombstone, winning the lottery, survivors... Putting these words together, it was almost a story about a monster who participated in the war and became the only survivor. The means by which he became a survivor may not be very glorious, so this allowed him to survive successfully.

That's why he was called a traitor and a coward.

Yuan Yuanyuan touched the jade on her chest. If she remembered correctly, Ji Qiu said that she replaced another tragic male supporting role, so it is estimated that the previous owner of this jade was the monster who fled from the battlefield.

What does this monster look like...

Yuan Yuanyuan thought that there must be a monster who knew what happened that year, but looking at everyone's state, it was obvious that they all knew but were unwilling to say.

This should be a very big thing. Sister Lizi must know something, so she said not to get involved.

But what should she do now that she has already gotten involved?

Yuan Yuanyuan sat up from the bed. In this situation, doing nothing might be the best option, but the longer she drags it out, the greater the risk.

It would be better to take the initiative and find out the truth so that she is not so confused.

Yuan Yuanyuan turned her eyes and came up with an idea. She left for work an hour earlier than usual the next day and came to the market at the abandoned bus station alone. As soon as she entered, she scanned the surroundings. There were still a lot of people, but no monster came to pull her like yesterday.

She transformed today, wearing a dust mask she bought casually on her face and a black jacket.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that since she practiced the Blood Jade Demon Art, she always had a faint bloody aura on her body after transforming. Other monsters also had a very sensitive sense of smell and naturally would not ignore it.

She walked around and picked up the magic skills on the small stalls. She knew that these skills might not be very good, but there was a very strange thing about the magic skills - they usually had travel notes.

Yuan Yuanyuan just wanted to pick out if there were any magic skills related to the things that happened that year.

After walking around, she inexplicably walked to the place where she and Sister Lizi came yesterday. After taking a look at the black lotus on it, Yuan Yuanyuan lowered her head and continued to pick.

After she picked a few books and went back, a head suddenly popped out of the black lotus tent. A girl with a lotus on her head leaned out half of her body and looked outside. Her eyes were blue and very penetrating.

The blue-eyed girl sniffed outside and finally stopped her eyes on a small stall.

A strange smell.
