Chapter 050: Arriving at Zhangjiakou
Zhangjiakou gave Mu Yang the impression of gray. The gray city wall before entering the city belongs to part of the Great Wall. The city gate is engraved with four big characters "Big Rivers and Mountains". The original big characters in golden paint are mottled, revealing a decline.
When you walk into the city, there are houses with gray bricks and gray tiles, and the streets are covered with dusty roads. People mainly wear black and gray clothes, and their faces are mostly gray. At first glance, they are considered to be malnutrition for a long time.
Zhangjiakou, which was originally the first city outside the mouth, was prosperous in horse gangs, tea and markets. Now it has become like a dead city with few pedestrians and no merchants. The most common people on the street may be beggars.
The rickshaw stopped in front of the Yankee Building. Mu Yang looked at it. This was a pretty high-end restaurant. Mu Yang looked at the coachman in confusion. The coachman quickly said, "Sir, there is a place to stay in the front and back of the Yankee Building. The conditions are considered to be the best hotel in Zhangjiakou."
Mu Yang did not talk to him, and just threw it to him. The money was enough for them to share.
"Kejun, let's go in." Mu Yang lifted up his suitcase and said to Xia Kejun.
The store owner had long seen a man and a woman get out of the car. She was dressed in such clothes and didn't look like a local. The store owner quickly came out: "Sir, please come in and have a lady."
"We want to stay in a hotel. Where is the best room here? Can I take a look first?" Mu Yang asked.
"No problem, our best room is a separate courtyard, which is absolutely quiet and comfortable. Please follow me." As he said that, he led Muyang and Xia Kejun to the backyard.
There are three separate courtyards when you walk through the side door, and the alley outside can also be directly in and out, without having to pass through the lobby of the banquet hall, it is much more convenient to travel.
When I walked in Muyang, I found that this place was actually a house similar to a house. It was probably a house that was renovated. The main house was equipped with a east-west wing room, and a 20-square-meter courtyard outside. If you close the door, you can directly live at home.
The decoration of the main house is not luxurious but also tidy. The floor is covered with blue bricks and the house is very clean. The sleeping place in the inner room is actually a earthen kang with mats and satin quilts on it. There are two boxes at the head of the bed, and there are several quilts on it.
This is completely home decoration, and Muyang feels like walking into a farmhouse.
"It's okay, how do you calculate the store's money?" Mu Yang put the suitcase on the ground.
"It's good if you're satisfied. This yard is worth a silver dollar a day, and you can eat it. Do you think it's like?" the guy said carefully.
This price is a bit expensive. In fact, in the past, when Zhangjiakou was prosperous, some people lived in this yard for one dollar a day, but now it is in chaos, and there are few people living in a hotel, and it is rare to travel to business. Even if there are, they can't bear to live in a single yard for one dollar. So now, one dollar a day is really expensive.
But Mu Yang didn't care and said, "Yes, but how about the food you prepared?"
"Four dishes, one soup, two meats, two vegetables, plus staple food, and wine, and the wine is calculated separately." The guy said happily when he heard Mu Yang agree.
"What do you think?" Mu Yang turned to Xia Kejun, and Xia Kejun nodded.
"Okay, let's take a break first and bring the food here at noon." Mu Yang ordered.
"Okay, I'll go and get you hot water. Also, it's a bit cold here at night. If you need it, I'll give you an order and someone will burn the kang for you to ensure you have a comfortable sleep at night." The guy said that and went out.
Mu Yang thinks the service is pretty good, and the amount of this dollar is worth it.
After the guy reminded me, Mu Yang remembered that this place is not Tianjin. In Zhangjiakou in September, the temperature may be around 25 and 6 degrees during the day, but at night, it may be only 6 and 7 degrees. If the kang is not burned, it will be really cold.
"After lunch, I'll go to the street to take a look, first touch the situation, and then see if there is any chance to start." Mu Yang sat on the earthen kang and said.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Mu." Xia Kejun said.
"Don't be so polite to us. I hate those traitors to the core. Besides, he will destroy your family and be sure to die."
"I want to take revenge, but Brother Mu also needs to protect himself. If it is inconvenient, we are looking for opportunities. I don't want Brother Mu to fall into danger for my business."
"I understand, by the way, if you have the chance, have you ever thought about killing the murderer who killed your parents by yourself." Mu Yang looked at Xia Kejun and said.
The girl didn't know how to answer for a while.
"I, I don't know. I hate Pinqing so much that I once dreamed of killing him with my own hands, but I don't know if I dared it until then." Xia Kejun said and lowered her head.
Seeing that Xia Kejun was already crying, Mu Yang walked up to hold Xia Kejun's shoulder and whispered: "I can understand that you are a girl after all, and it is inevitable to be afraid. But I hope you will be strong and not be sad about your parents' affairs. When we avenge you, you must live your own life well and be a happy girl, okay?"
"I know Brother Mu, I will definitely become strong." Xia Kejun nodded vigorously and replied.
After lunch, Muyang left the hotel and stopped a rickshaw on the street, "Do you know where Chairman Yu Pinqing's mansion is?"
"I know, on Nantong Street, the largest house is." The coachman quickly replied.
"Okay, this silver dollar belongs to you, take me there." As he said that, he threw a silver dollar to the coachman and got into the car.
The coachman took the silver dollar with both hands, rubbed it in his hands for a moment, and showed joy on his face. He put the silver dollar in his close pocket and said, "Sir, sit down and leave."
The driver was not slow. He ran for more than ten minutes and after three streets, he stopped at a gate. He put down the handlebar and turned his head to look at Mu Yang and said, "Sir, it's this."
Mu Yang did not leave, but was still sitting in the car. Looking at the gate, the courtyard wall was still covered with blue bricks, but there were complex carvings on the gate tower, showing the extraordinaryness of the family. There were two guards standing at the door, loosely carrying rifles, looking like they were careless.
I recognized the place and observed the situation around me.
Mu Yang said, "Okay, I won't visit Chairman Yu today. Let's talk about it another day, let's go back first."
"Ah", the coachman didn't understand what was going on. He gave a piece of money for the car and didn't get off the car when he got there. Isn't this a waste? But all rich people are like this. He is a coachman, but he is not qualified to ask.
He lifted the handlebar and sent Muyang back to the Yankee Building.
Mu Yang did not enter the Yankee Building, but walked into the alley. Seeing that there was no one around, Mu Yang traveled directly back home.
Mu Yang's trip was not in vain. He kept thinking about the plan to start the game in the car. After several modifications, he finally had a plan to form in his mind. He also needed to prepare some things and needed to come back to find Ma Hao for help. So after returning to the hotel, he did not enter the house, but traveled back to modern times.
