Chapter 267: Ecstasy
"The human heart is more complicated." Puyang Xuan said, "A real master is needed." β
"So, there are still some of them?" Xue Jinyi asked, "Have you met it?" β
"Nope. There are very, very few such masters. β
"And what are your chances of winning if you meet them?"
"There is no possibility of failure." Pu Yangxuan looked confident, "Because I have you." As long as I think of you, I will not be deceived by people. β
Xue Jinyi listened and laughed a little proudly.
"Ah Xuan's mouth, it's really getting sweeter and sweeter."
"Do you like it if it's sweeter, won't you get tired?"
"No, it won't."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then looked at the snake player, under the control of his flute, the snake body shrunk a little, and it was estimated that it could only be inserted into a finger, it can be said that the life and death of the snake player are in the blink of an eye.
People stared nervously at the snake man, only Xue Jinyi took advantage of the moment when people gathered and glanced around.
It wasn't until after several exclamations that the snake player asked the python to obediently return to the bamboo basket that she shook her head.
Pu Yangxuan took her through the crowd and came to a tea shed by the river, picking the most secluded location.
"Do you see something?" Xue Jinyi didn't care about drinking tea, and asked first.
"Not yet." Pu Yangxuan shook his head, "Although I have seen a lot of illegal things, it doesn't look like the Sun family is willing to get involved." β
"Well, I think so too......" Xue Jinyi scratched her chin and looked at the lotus lantern floating along the current.
If you look closely, you can find that the lotus lanterns are written in small characters, which are probably used to convey messages, and the people who come and go ignore the lotus lanterns, and no one reaches out to catch one.
She squinted, unable to read what was written on the lotus lantern, so she followed the current and looked farther away.
Unfortunately, the water eventually disappeared under a thatched hut that spanned the river.
The lotus lantern is convenient for transmitting news, what is on it, can you find clues related to the Sun family?
Xue Jinyi raised her eyes and looked at the guards standing on the stone wall monitoring the movements of the black market.
Even though Ah Xuan knew martial arts, she didn't want to take this risk.
She glanced around the thatched hut, where they hadn't visited yet.
"Let's take a look at the rest of the place, I'm sure you'll find clues."
After drinking tea and resting for a while, the two continued to walk forward, and after a while, a rich and strange aroma came to their faces, and Xue Jinyi hurriedly fanned the fan to disperse the aroma.
"What is this?" She looked at the two-story building with bursts of white smoke, there was no fire, no human voice, and people passed by the door of the small building and took a deep breath, with an intoxicated smile on her face.
"Smoke House."
Xue Jinyi was shocked and hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, "This kind of harmful thing ......"
Puyang Xuan said quietly: "In the black market, there are far more than these harmful things. β
Xue Jinyi glanced back, thinking of the black-robed woman's blood grass and centipede, as well as all kinds of evil things, if Sun Suci's mother and daughter came, I don't know how many harmful means they could come up with.
Just as she was about to speak, a figure shook at the door of the smoke house, and then a person was thrown out directly, and it happened to fall less than half a foot in front of Xue Jinyi's feet.
Before the person landed, Pu Yangxuan turned sideways and protected Xue Jinyi behind him.
Xue Jinyi looked at it, the person on the ground was beaten to a blue nose and swollen face, there were several blood marks on his body, and one arm had been broken, but he didn't seem to feel a little pain, showed a stupid smile, struggled to get up from the ground, and staggered to the door of the tobacco house.
"Let me take one more bite, just one bite!"
At the door of the smoke house, a wicked man with a full face slapped the man in the face, and the sound was so loud and powerful that anyone who heard the sound felt that his cheeks hurt terribly.
"Get out of the way if you don't have money, Lao Tzu's land is not for doing good deeds!"
Phantom pain is phantom pain, among the people who come and go, only a few people stop to watch the excitement, and most of the other people's faces are indifferent.
"Woohoo." The man was thrown to the ground, hugged the wicked man's shins, and cried, "You can do whatever you want me to do, as long as I can eat a bite!" β
"Whatever?" The wicked man grabbed the man by the back of his neck, lifted it up, and looked at the man with a fierce eye, "Can a dog bark?" β
"Woohoo!" The man immediately barked, "Uncle, do you look like me?" β
"This dog is pretty good, isn't it?" The wicked man patted the man's cheek.
The man was not ashamed, stuck out his tongue, and looked flattering, like a stupid dog.
"There's a big man who lacks a dog to play with, so go ahead. Remember, you have to be like a dog, and you can't make the big man angry, otherwise you won't be able to live a few more days. With a wave of his hand, one of his men put an iron chain around the man's neck and kicked him in the calf.
The man bared his teeth in pain and fell to his knees again.
The wicked man sneered, "Talent walks on two legs, and dogs climb on four legs." β
The man did not seem to think that this was an insult to his personality, and even though one arm could no longer move, he still obediently crawled around the wicked man, and learned to bark twice from time to time.
"Hahaha," the villain laughed, "give him a bite." β
"Thank you, uncle, thank you!" The man kowtowed, as if the wicked man were his reborn parents.
"Heh," the wicked man looked at the fool, "take a good bite, and you won't have a chance in the future." β
The men tightened the chains and drove the people back to the smoke house like dogs.
Xue Jinyi clenched her hands, and a wave of anger surged in her heart.
Treat a man like a beast, and a terrible fate awaits him, right?
Although it is self-inflicted, it ......
She sighed softly: "I don't see smoke houses in the east and west cities, I didn't expect there to be ...... here This thing is addictive and extremely harmful, if only there was a way to cut the grass and eradicate it......"
However, she knew that her thoughts were too naΓ―ve, and there would always be such and such things in the dark side, tenacious like cockroaches, no matter what kind of blow she undertook, she could survive tenaciously.
"In the previous dynasty, smoke houses could be seen everywhere in the East and West Markets, and the people who took them leaned over like demons, and their words and deeds were strange and debauched. If you take it for a long time, you will go crazy at least and kill people at worst. People who regret it want to quit, but find that quitting this is better than death. Pu Yangxuan took Xue Jinyi and continued to walk forward, "At the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, he ordered the closure of all tobacco houses in the country, and this thing was transferred underground and can only be seen in the black market. β
"Ah Xuan," Xue Jinyi glanced back, "If you want to eat that thing, do you have to come here?" β
"The only smoke house in the black market."
"Monopolized?"
"Yes." Pu Yangxuan nodded, "If you want to buy goods, you have to go here." β
"What do you mean......" Xue Jinyi touched her chin, "Someone buys goods from here, takes them outside, and secretly eats them at home?" β
