Chapter 11 Human nature is the most beautiful white and boundless
Hongshan City South has always been a gathering place for local middle and lower classes and a large number of migrant populations. It is densely populated and mixed with fish and dragons. According to statistics released by the city hall last year, the migrant population in the three districts of the south of the city has exceeded 1.5 million, and there are several times more foreigners outside the city walls.
In this complex environment, many gangs will naturally be born, among which the Snake Gang is the best in the South City, and its influence can even radiate to the East and North Districts where the nobles of Hongshan City gather. All the gang leaders will inherit the title of Snake Lord, and at the same time inherit the secret personal relationship with the upper class nobles, dealing with some dirty work that the big men are unwilling to take action personally.
With this influence and social network, all the Snake Lords have had shocking wealth and power. Many people even believe that the influence of Snake Lords in the south is completely comparable to that of some aristocratic families in the east of the city.
There is only one problem: Snake's life cycle is too short.
In the seventy years since the establishment of the Snake Gang, more than 40 Snake Lords have been replaced, and the longest serving time has not exceeded 3 years! Most of them died of various unspeakable accidents. The 17th Snake Lord slipped in the bathroom and was strangled to death by a shower cord. The 18th Snake Lord was smashed into a pancake when he passed by a construction site. The 21st Snake Lord was kicked off by an inexplicable old lady and died of death... In comparison, choking to death by eating and drinking water is the most common way of death, which is very shameless in the Snake Lord's death.
Looking at the turbulent grave in front of you, the girl Xiaoqing thought to herself: Boss, since you took over as the Snake Lord a year ago, you have been pioneering and ambitious. You want to go further than your predecessors, want to escape from the quagmire in the south of the city and soar into the sky, and become the most legendary one of the Snake Lords. Now, at least your way of death is no less than all your predecessors!
The leader of the Snake Gang was hit and killed on the spot when he was hit by a car accident - the only designated cause of death in the Snake Gang - this is a rare thing. As the confidant subordinate of the Snake Gang, the "Xinzi" who was rescued from danger by him, now the new Snake Gang, Xiaoqing's idea is also very simple...
Turning his head and looking at the tall man with a confused look on his face, the girl said.
"A Qiang, go find that Mr. Bai with me."
The tall man suddenly became excited: "Want to take revenge? How many people do you bring?"
"..." Xiaoqing looked up and down for a few times. She had a strong "first son" who had made great contributions with her ex-Snake Master. She confirmed that this person made such suggestions were not to promote the sudden death of previous Snake Masters, but to finally sighed out of purely a destruction.
"Avenge revenge, find someone who can throw hundreds of thousands of silver dollars at will to take revenge? Are you crazy? Of course, I'm asking someone to apologize!"
——
At the same time, outside the Nancheng Duanshu Laboratory, there were already crowds of people. Although Bai Xiao left the door early in the morning, he was blocked three streets when he arrived.
Looking around, thousands of people gathered outside the hemispherical laboratory, kneeling to the ground facing the laboratory, and constantly kowtowed and praying. A translucent water curtain separated these people from the laboratory.
Radiating from the laboratory to the outside, several rather spacious streets have been filled with various tents and mats. Thousands of migrant population have temporarily settled here, forming a settlement like a refugee area around the hemispherical laboratory.
These people had set up camp here even a month ago, occupying a few of the most favorable positions outside the laboratory. Later, people could only gradually spread out. Until today, the radiation range was even three blocks away.
Most of them come to the families of candidates who pray for good luck for their children.
Grand Master Duanshu served as the dean of Hongshan College for more than 30 years, and his laboratory was built for twenty-five years. As early as twenty-five years ago, in order to pray for good luck, some people rushed outside Duanshu Laboratory to pray day and night before the college entrance examination. The man's examination results were different. Some people said that he performed extraordinaryly and was admitted to Hongshan College. Some people said that although he did not get into Hongshan, he received the admission notice from Qingcheng Huiwen Academy with excellent results. Of course, some people said that his day and night prayers were useless and were simply to add to the trouble to municipal management... But most people still believed in the former, and believed that if they could get extraordinary results by rushing to Grand Master's laboratory before the exam.
This superstition has been developed for twenty-five years and has become the traditional culture of Hongshan City. The number of people gathered outside the laboratory during the exam period has hit new highs every year, and this year it is close to 10,000 people. Nearly 10,000 people gather in a few small blocks and live with local residents, forming a colorful and weird picture.
A middle-aged woman with a slightly hunched figure stood in front of a simple tent made of coarse cloth and cursed with resentment: "Why can't it light it up?! The children of the Huang family next door can light up seven lamps in a row, why can't you even light one?? There will be an exam in two days. What grades do you expect to get even when you look like you? Your father and I have been squandering our food and we have suffered so much hardship to come here to take the exam? Are you worthy of our cowardly appearance?"
A young man holding a lantern in his hand sobbed, "It's the child who is unfilial..."
However, no matter how he cried or how he turned red, his face turned hard on the lantern, and the light bulb was always dull.
"Useless stuff!" The middle-aged woman slapped her in the face, then covered her face and started crying, "Why is my life so miserable..."
...
Such pictures are everywhere, and Bai Xiao looked at it for a while and felt his vision wide open. It turned out that the southerners and snow mountains were not essentially different. He had seen similar scenes many times in the tribe, but when he was in the tribe, most of the angry mothers complained to his children: "You are less than one-tenth of Bai Xiao back then! Doesn't it prove that you are not related by blood, and you are not my and his flesh and blood!? You, you are so cowardly, are you worthy of my hard work those nights?"
“!????”
...
At the same time, the tall snow-capped boy stood by the road, and wasn’t it a scenery? Soon a rich man in a brocade robe came and asked, “Young man, are you here to pray for blessings too? Listen to my advice, forget it. I have lived here for almost forty years, but I have never heard of anyone who was admitted to the academy by praying for blessings. And you have also seen that there are thousands of people coming to pray for blessings these days. No matter how much blessings are, how many people can afford to be divided? With this time, it’s better to go back and study honestly.”
"I'm not here to pray for blessings."
The old man raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Then do you... want to see Miss Qingyue? Then you have to listen to my advice, forget it, he is a noble disciple, how could he come out to meet mortals?"
"I'm her ex-boyfriend."
"Haha, you can't be her current boyfriend." The old man sneered, "Do you think you only want to get this trick? These days, her fiancé, her godfather, her biological mother, and her illegitimate son have come one after another... It's half a meter thick to write a genealogy! But no matter how these people cry outside, they can't hear a trace inside, and the water curtain isolates the inside, even if the sky and the earth are cracking outside, they can't affect the inside. After all, they are here to study, not to visit relatives. You should save money, boy."
After saying that, the old man waved his hand and left with a sway.
Bai Xiao was silent, looking at the faint water curtain guard in the distance, he couldn't help but frown, thinking about how to cross the barrier and see Qingyue. At this moment, a slightly familiar voice came from behind him.
"Young Master Bai, what's the difficulty?"
Turning his head, Bai Xiao saw a petite girl wearing a hooded cloak. The hood was taken off by her, revealing her pretty facial features, and a faint smile hung on her face. Facing the morning sunshine, her skin looked particularly fair and cute. However, a little black snake embroidered on her shoulders added a bit of weirdness to the girl's smile.
Bai Xiao moved his nose and smelled a familiar smell. Then he recognized that this was the lemming sister who ran to commit suicide in the early morning. Then he took out a piece of green jade from his pocket and threw it to the side.
Xiaoqing subconsciously twisted her head, jumped a little, and reached out to catch the jade in the air, like a well-trained pet dog... When she came to her senses, the girl couldn't help but blush, but her hand holding the jade refused to let go no matter what.
Too rich, this savage is so rich!
Does he know how much the gem he threw out is worth?! In the night alley of Nancheng, this gem is enough to kill hundreds of people and blood!
Does he usually spend money randomly? He can reward a stranger with hundreds of thousands of silver dollars?
If he continues to squander like this, even if he has a mine at home, he will sooner or later lose his family business!
Thinking of this person rushing to Hongshan City yesterday morning, I don’t know how much money he squandered in this day... the girl couldn’t help but feel heartbroken.
No, our Snake Gang has settled the relationship with Bai Xiao!
After making up his mind, Xiaoqing looked solemn and said, "Mr. Bai, please don't get me wrong. We are not here to blackmail."
Bai Xiao was stunned when he heard this. Another piece of jade that he had held in his hand was not sure whether he should throw it out.
Xiaoqing stared at the more valuable blood diamond in his hand, gritted his teeth and read the lines he prepared: "The previous things were all our faults. Here, on behalf of the Snake Gang, I sincerely apologize to you, hoping that Mr. Bai can give us a chance to atone for merits and atone for sins."
After saying that, Xiaoqing wanted to shed blood and tears, trembling hands, and took out an exquisite wooden box, opened the lid, revealing three-color jade and a gold bar.
"This is given by the young master before, and now it is returned as it is."
Bai Xiao was also shocked when he saw this. This is different from what Bai Wuya said. The money he had spent was also the reason for returning it?! Is this southerner a bit unauthorized?
But after thinking about it, Bai Wuya seemed to have mentioned that the southerners were greedy for money, but there were exceptions. The dialogue at that time was like this...
"Although most of the time, I spend money on women in the southern continent, there are also some women with a keen eye who can see the beauty of my humanity..."
"Wait, your human beauty?"
"The key point is behind the word "Honey," Bai Wuya explained, "In short, in them, I not only don't have to spend money, but I can make money. Generally speaking, women who are not greedy for money are mostly greedy for the beauty of your human nature. You are my son. There is no need to say much about the majestic beauty of human nature. When you arrive in the southern continent, you must have an infinite and broad space to display. So you really don't need to be obsessed with Qingyue alone. No matter how beautiful she is, she can use it on her body..."
Although the subsequent dialogue was stabbed by Bai Xiao with a bone spear, he still remembered clearly the conclusion that Bai Wuya wanted to emphasize.
A woman who is not greedy for money is likely to be greedy for his human beauty.
Bai Xiao frowned immediately: "I have no interest in you, you should take back the money."
Xiaoqing wanted to vomit blood on the spot.
Bai Yeren, will you chat?!
But no matter whether they can chat or not, Xiaoqing can only grit her teeth and continue chatting.
After all, compared to jade worth nearly one million silver dollars, Xiaoqing cares more about the jade pocket with an endless reserve!
As long as you establish a good cooperative relationship with this person, what is a few pieces of jade worth? As an early investment, it is not worth mentioning at all!
"Young Master Bai, we apologize from the bottom of our hearts and absolutely no other thoughts... Moreover, I think you are facing a problem now, maybe we can help. For example, do you want to meet Miss Qingyue?"
Bai Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "You want to help me meet Qingyue?"
Xiaoqing immediately smiled and said, "Of course!"
"That's great, I just need someone to help." Bai Xiao walked up and patted Xiaoqing on the shoulder, making the petite girl feel that her bones and muscles began to soften.
Then Bai Xiao pointed to the hemispherical laboratory in the distance.
"I will try to break through the water curtain guard from the front later..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiaoqing interrupted incredibly: "You want to break the water curtain!?"
Bai Xiao sighed and said, "There is no way. Although you can also descend from the sky or dig tunnels underground, considering the geographical conditions nearby, it is safe to make a breakthrough on the front. Don't worry, I will not make any mistakes in combat plans."
Xiaoqing gritted her teeth: "What a good person will not make any mistakes! In Hongshan City, he will hit the laboratory of the Grand Master in front of him. Mr. Bai, you are such a genius!"
"Yeah, thank you." Bai Xiao smiled and threw away another gold bar.
Xiaoqing subconsciously caught it, and then wanted to interrupt his hand.
"Young Master Bai, this matter must not be done! That laboratory is a few key places for the entire Qin Dynasty. It not only contains the Grand Master of Apocalypse himself, but also is related to the Hongshan Council, the Qin Emperor Jin Soldier, the Apocalypse Alliance, etc., and it will move the world! Even if you possess magical powers, it will be a dead end! Besides, if you take a step back, Miss Qingyue herself, do you hope you will rush over to see her like that?"
Bai Xiao asked, "That's so serious?"
It seems that in the southern continent, there are still many things that are different from snow-capped mountains.
In the Snow Mountain Tribe, no matter how important the place is, it will not affect the world. At least in Bai Xiao’s impression, the tent that should be listed as one of the forbidden areas is often attacked by many tribal women at night. As a result, they are not killed on the spot, but often have flushed and staggered away the next day with satisfaction. Then, the only one who was scolded by Master Lan was Bai Wuya himself...
