Chapter 520 Behind the Prosperity
Anzi was stunned by the magnificence of the square.
Ran Ran didn't react at all. She looked away after observing for a while.
The open square is not empty.
She found that the place was full of people. Most of them looked haggard, but their eyes were frighteningly bright. She saw only a few or a dozen of them divided into different groups, forming large and small circles.
Ran Ran took a look and saw that the person standing in the middle of the circle formed by the locals was the tester.
As for the reason, Ran Ran and the others received the same treatment a moment later.
"The beauty of this lady is intoxicating. Please be sure to come to my house as a guest. I think even my humble house will be honored!"
Ran Ran: I haven't seen any simple houses in this city.
"Oh! What a cute boy. Look at his skin that is whiter than milk. Oh my God, please come to my home! I think my daughter will go crazy with joy!"
Anzi: ...still can't, I'm afraid your daughter will really go crazy...
It was fine at first, with just a few scattered people asking questions around them, but after a while there were more and more people.
Ran Ran and An Zai were almost completely surrounded by the crowd. Countless hands struggled to get in through the gaps and pull them. The owner of the hands shouted frantically: "Please come to my house as a guest!".
This is simply like a large-scale solicitation scene, except that the actions of these people are much crazier than soliciting customers.
Being squeezed in by so many people, the loud voices hitting her eardrums, and the disgusting aroma attacking her sense of smell, Ran Ran felt like something was wrong with her. She was dizzy and could hardly calm down.
She vaguely saw an old woman dressed in dust standing outside the crowd, looking straight at her.
She didn't have any ornaments on her body, and was only covered by a somewhat worn gray long coat.
Ran Ran looked at the crazy people around her again. Although their clothes could be considered rich, they were missing one thing - gems. However, no matter how bad they were, they were much better than the poorly dressed old women.
As if something flashed through her mind, Ranran immediately pointed to the old woman, "Let's go live at her house."
The noisy sound stopped instantly, and the crowd that kept pushing seemed to have been pressed on the pause button. They looked in the direction of Ran Ran's finger, and a resentful look gradually appeared on their faces, as if someone else had robbed them. Very important stuff.
Ran Ran and An Zai's residence was confirmed, and the crowd surrounding them dispersed.
Ran Ran watched these people move towards the new testers who had just arrived in the square without stopping. Soon, an enthusiastic circle was formed again.
She couldn't help but ponder as she looked at this strange scene, her eyes so dark that it was like an abyss that could not be seen clearly.
"Huh, those people are so enthusiastic." Anzi rubbed his little arm, and Ran Ran saw bruises there.
Very enthusiastic indeed.
Ranran smiled softly, her brows furrowed but cold.
She walked up to the old woman and said, "Old man, I wonder if we can visit your home?"
The old woman's reaction was surprising, but it was also expected.
She just looked at Ran Ran and An Zi indifferently: "I advise you to leave here now."
Sure enough, it was different. The old woman showed words and deeds that were incompatible with other people. Ranran and the others would naturally get completely opposite answers from the old woman.
Unlike the other people's enthusiastic invitations, the old woman did not want the two of them to come to her home.
A flash of understanding flashed in Ran Ran's eyes, and she smiled: "I want to ask you why."
The old woman sneered, "Poor people like you don't deserve to stay in this city!"
Anzai touched his nose and muttered in a low voice: "Not enthusiastic...but so fierce..."
"But we have a reason to stay in the city and can't leave." Ran Ran's face remained unchanged, and a clear voice sounded. The old woman's face changed, as if she was angry: "Do you want to become someone here? Have you heard about it?"
"What did you hear?" Ran Ran asked quickly.
The old woman was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that they didn't know. After hesitating for a moment, the old woman said coldly: "You can stay at my house, but you must follow my arrangements. If you don't obey, get out of this city." .”
She didn't give Ran Ran and An Zi a chance to choose at all, and said loudly and domineeringly: "Follow me now!"
Ran Ran didn't seem to mind the old woman's bad attitude. She raised her feet and followed the old woman directly. Anzi immediately followed Ran Ran.
Soon, they gradually moved away from the busy main road and towards the residential area.
Ran Ran noticed that the roads here can be said to be extending in all directions. There are roads everywhere that are no less wide than the main roads. Almost every two or three houses there will be a road.
The roads in this city are like lines on a chessboard, intersecting with each other, and the buildings are like empty spaces on the chessboard, very neatly distributed in the city.
Anzi suddenly leaned into Ranran's ear and said, "Ranran, actually we can stay in a hotel. She is always mean to you and doesn't look like a good person."
"Those super enthusiastic people are not good, and this mother-in-law doesn't look good either."
A smile flashed in Ran Ran's eyes and she asked back: "You don't look like a good person, how dare you follow me?"
Anzi had a confused expression that he didn't know, "For the first time, my feeling and my intuition are fighting. This mother-in-law doesn't look like a good person, but I don't think she is a bad person."
The old woman in front turned her head and glared at Anzi, snorting coldly, "I can hear you! And we don't have a hotel in this city!"
Anzi immediately shut his mouth obediently.
Saying bad things about others in front of them...his behavior is really rude.
On the way, Ran Ran wanted to get some information about this city, but the old woman just said gloomily: "No one in this city will tell you anything, so don't have any wishful thinking! Now follow me to rest!".
Ranran had no choice but to give up.
Along the way, every house was lit with light. It was very bright at first, but as they went further and further away, the light became darker and darker.
What was gradually getting weaker was the dizzying fragrance. Before Anzai had time to be happy, he smelled an increasingly obvious stench in the air.
Carefully
After sniffing it, Anzi opened his eyes in disbelief.
That smell came from the old woman's body! And it’s getting more and more intense!
It smells extremely disgusting, as if it can attack the human brain, making people want to gag.
Oh my god, it's really dampening his sense of smell! An Zai's face turned pale from the stench. He turned his head and looked at Ran Ran, and saw that her expression was as usual, as if she hadn't smelled it.
Ran Ran actually smelled the smell, but she was concentrating on observing the old woman, so she couldn't care about how bad it was.
She found that the old woman's back seemed to be getting more and more stooped, as if she was very uncomfortable.
Later, even Anzi noticed it because it was so obvious.
The two saw that the old woman's back was low and tense, as if it was bent into a bow. Anzi could not ignore the stench emanating from her body, so he immediately rejected the idea that the old woman was not a bad person.
Damn the second uncle’s intuition, this is too scary, okay?
Anzi kept an eye on the old woman, worried that she would suddenly transform into a wolf grandmother and eat him and Ran Ran.
He was alert and grabbed Ran Ran's sleeve in a hopeless manner.
Ranran felt it, but she didn't move.
The atmosphere between the three of them was becoming increasingly tense, and Ran Ran was afraid of disturbing the situation.
Finally, the old woman walking in the front stopped.
