Chapter 79 Asian Gang Ecology

No. 89 Walker Street is a pawn shop that was converted into a distinctly Asian style.

On the left side of the pawn shop door, there is an almost 3-meter statue of an Asian warrior god holding a long sword.

On the right side of the pawn shop door is a legendary Asian mythical beast.

This mythical beast has a mouth, but no chrysanthemums, which symbolizes "only swallowing but not pulling", which means that it will make a lot of money.

There is a red couplet on the left and right sides of the red lacquered wooden door, with traditional ancient Asian characters on the couplet.

Chen Yan looked at the couplet and saw the first couplet:

"A foreign dress, a foreign hat, foreign socks, and my hair also has a western style."

The second line is:

"If you sell your people, your honor, and your ancestors, your descendants will soon be sold out."

Hengpi has four big characters:

"Sell Your Mother"

this……

Chen Yan knew that this was the third uncle's court, and it should be the third uncle who chose the couplets.

This couplet was probably posted here by Uncle San to scold someone.

Who is the third uncle scolding?

In Chen Yan's impression, the third uncle was very good at being a good person. Except for that time in the zoo, the third uncle always smiled and laughed at everyone he met and was never irritable with anyone.

But this couplet...

Come to think of it, my third uncle must have been frustrated at times.

Chen Yan stepped into the door of the pawn shop, and what he saw was an anti-theft iron fence lined with thick thick iron wires, and a counter that was taller than a person behind the iron fence.

Although the pawnshop business is extremely profitable, it is actually somewhat dangerous. As an Asian gang that has not yet established a foothold in the empire, such protection is necessary.

Perhaps because he heard Chen Yan's footsteps, the young waiter at the counter lazily raised his head.

That was a girl who had just grown up.

Chen Yan remembered that her name was Li Cha, she was a descendant of immigrants from her third uncle's generation, and she was born in the empire.

The older generation of immigrants tried their best to integrate into the empire's society, so they gave their descendants some weird names, such as Li Cha:

The pronunciation of this name, Li Cha, is completely the same as the imperial name "Richard".

Li Cha's father gave her this name to make it easier for her to quickly integrate into the empire's local society.

But back then, Li Cha's father was uneducated and didn't know that the name "Richard" was only a male name in the empire and could not be used as a female name.

By the time he learned this sad fact, Li Cha had grown up and the joke had spread among Asian circles.

In addition, she didn't like to go to the white skin area, so the name was never changed.

Li Cha glanced at Chen Yan and recognized him immediately.

"It's Ayan." Li Cha adjusted the black-framed round glasses on the bridge of his nose, shook his ponytail subconsciously, and quickly buried his head again.

"Third uncle is not here."

Expected and normal conditions.

Chen Yan asked: "Where has the third uncle gone?"

Li Cha took off his round glasses, used two fingers to knead the bridge of his nose, which was left with red marks, and replied lazily:

"I was busy all night in Xiacheng District yesterday. I guess I'm resting in a corner building somewhere now. Third uncle has a new look."

This sentence sounds out of place, but Chen Yan understands its meaning.

[Jianjiao Building] is a new type of building built in Xiacheng District in the past few years.

The characteristic of the corner building is that the space utilization rate is very high, but the single room is small and cramped, which is most suitable for some female freelancers to use as a shelter.

They are collectively called corner girls.

And "Changed a new lover" means: The third uncle who does not have his own place to live will often stay in different corner buildings.

What Chen Yan noticed was another sentence:

I spent a busy night in Xiacheng District yesterday.

What is Uncle San busy with?

Chen Yan couldn't help but get interested when he thought of the conflict between extraordinary people that happened in Xiacheng District yesterday afternoon.

Was Third Uncle also involved in that incident?

He handed a penny to the counter: "I'm in a hurry to see my third uncle."

Li Cha immediately became energetic and said with a smile: "Uncle San is very elusive. I have never seen him before. You won't be able to find him for a while."

She changed the topic and said, "But old man Xian'er is in our hall today. Why don't you go find him and figure out where you can meet your third uncle?"

The goddess of Tai Shenghe, Xanthium lucidum.

Chen Yan has heard this name several times, but doesn't know much about it.

He used to only think that Xanthium was a great dancer, and that he was very lucky and could always predict the divination with astonishing accuracy.

Chen Yan used to think that Xanthium was a liar who knew a little bit about psychology.

The so-called "accurate hexagrams" are nothing more than an insight into human psychology and some reasonable psychological explanations.

But since listening to the story about Solar that his third uncle told that morning, Chen Yan's impression of Xanthium has changed.

Chen Yan can now confirm that Xanthium is an Asian transcendent.

The specific ability may be fortune telling.

Or it might be something related to fortune telling.

For example...divination?

Imperial astrology and occultism endured.

Chen Yan speculated that after coming to the empire, Xanthium had integrated the extraordinary power she had mastered with the astrology and mysticism of the empire, and might have become something else, not just a "goddess".

When Li Cha at the counter mentioned cocklebur, there was obvious awe in her tone, and she whispered:

"Master Xiangu is right behind, do you want to see him?"

Chen Yan handed over a penny again.

Li Cha looked at him with kind eyes: "Among the newcomers who have come here these days, you are the one I like the most! Just wait a moment!"

Her figure disappeared into the counter.

There was the sound of the security door opening from the counter, and then the sound of people descending the steps.

Immediately afterwards, Li Cha appeared behind the iron fence in front of the counter.

She took the key to unlock the iron fence, opened a small door that was only half a person's height, and greeted Chen Yan.

"come in."

Chen Yan followed her into the back room of Tai Sheng and the pawn shop.

Ordinary people are not allowed to enter this kind of place. The pawnshop has its own rules. Even if you have a good relationship, you cannot be lenient.

If Chen Yan could come in, those two pennies would not be of much use.

What really matters is his knowledge, his identity, and the stable job in his hands - a valuable person, worthy of Tai Shenghe's win over and trust.

The back room of the pawn shop is quite large.

The building itself is much larger than Chen Yan's apartment at No. 33 Walker Street. Coupled with the extension of the basement, the internal space of this building is larger than the average house on Walker Street.

Passing through the inner room, Chen Yan saw the courtyard inside the house from the window - it was a small courtyard that had been transformed into an Asian native pavilion.

What surprised Chen Yan was that he not only saw an Asian-style rockery in the yard, but also a beautifully trimmed welcoming pine!

Have any high-level Asian craftsmen come to Yanan City?

Since the opening of the immigration policy, more and more Asians have come to the empire...

Li Cha took him to an east corridor in the courtyard, pointed to a room not far away, and whispered:

"That's Master Xiangu's reception room. He's busy right now. You have to wait for him to come out."

Chen Yan nodded.

Li Cha turned around and went back to the counter.

Chen Yan leaned against the pillar in the corridor, glanced at Xanthium's reception room, then lowered his head and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Turn on the spiritual vision camera and aim the camera of the spiritual vision camera at Xanthium's reception room.

The next moment, a picture appeared on the phone screen.
