Chapter 225 Dachen Island
Damengze is vast and boundless.
But there is also land in the water.
These pieces of land divided into pieces by rivers, lakes, wetlands, and swamps are called land islands.
Damengze is dotted with numerous islands, large and small.
Dachen Island is one of the largest mainland islands in the settlement!
Zhang Yuan's boat docked next to a simple pier.
After getting off the boat, he gave the young man who led the way one tael of silver as agreed.
"Thank you, sir!"
The young man smiled happily and kept saluting and thanking Zhang Yuan.
He then said: "Sir, the villain is called Shui Sheng. He has grown up here since he was a child. If there is anything you need the villain to do, just ask!"
This young man is quite smart and knows about Zhang Yuan's past. I’ve definitely never been to Damengze.
Otherwise there is no need to lead the way yourself.
The most important thing is that Zhang Yuan was generous, and he naturally had the idea of hugging his thigh.
It’s also great to have some fun!
Zhang Yuan saw that the other party was very smart, so he nodded and asked: "Then how can I find you?"
The young Shuisheng quickly pointed to a row of earthen houses on the right side of the pier and said: "Little People usually live there."
"Yes."
Zhang Yuan nodded: "Then take me to Fuyun Inn now."
Shui Sheng said happily. "Okay, sir!"
He led the way with a woven straw bag containing a big turtle, and Zhang Yuan followed leisurely.
Observe the surrounding scene.
If the waters previously dotted with houseboats were rural, then Dachen Island undoubtedly belongs to the city.
The buildings here are much denser. Various earth houses, stone houses and wooden buildings are lined up in rows. There are many shops along the street, and the people coming and going are quite lively.
Although it cannot be compared with Xia Xu, it is comparable to a small county town.
The people living on this mainland island left a deep impression on Zhang Yuan.
Most of the men and women walking in the market are strong and healthy, and most of them are carrying weapons. Although their clothes are quite simple and shabby, they all exude a strong aura.
There are many ferocious people among them, and the proportion of warriors is astonishingly high!
It’s just that there are no patrolling samurai on the road. Everyone keeps a distance from each other and is wary of each other.
Zhang Yuan noticed that Shuisheng always walked close to the roadside and actively avoided people coming towards him.
Apparently this is what happens here!
Suddenly, there was chaos on the street in front.
Shouts and screams came and went.
A man was knocked to the ground, vomiting blood and wailing loudly, looking very miserable.
However, the assailant did not let him go. He caught up with him and stomped on his head.
Until the man completely fainted.
The assailant looked around with his head raised, showing no sign of fear or guilt.
He blended into the crowd and disappeared.
The next moment, a group of beggars jumped out of nowhere and dragged the man on the ground into a nearby dark alley.
Everyone around them saw it and turned a blind eye.
The streets quickly returned to their original bustle and bustle.
Only the blood remaining on the ground proves that a tragedy has just occurred here!
"Sir."
Shui Sheng noticed Zhang Yuan's expression. He looked around, then lowered his voice and said: "Those are people from the Dahe Gang. They are very fierce. We can't mess with them. Get up."
This young man was probably worried that Zhang Yuan would get into trouble, so he reminded him kindly.
Zhang Yuan smiled.
He doesn’t mind his own business!
The two continued to move forward, and before they had gone far, they saw the Fortune Inn.
"Let's stop here."
Zhang Yuan took out another piece of silver and handed it to Shuisheng: "This is for you. In addition, please help me take care of the boat and don't let others Stolen." His boat was parked beside the dock.
If it is left unattended, it may not be kept until tomorrow!
Shui Sheng immediately patted his chest and assured Zhang Yuan that he would protect his ship.
Before leaving, the young man did not forget to hand over the straw bag containing the big turtle to Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan was somewhat dumbfounded.
He simply carried the big turtle into the inn.
This Fuyun Inn is the largest hotel on the island.
There is a reason why Zhang Yuan chose to live here.
Many years ago, Han Zixun kept sending people to Damengze to lurk.
Pry out information related to Yan Wushuang.
Over the years, Han Zixun, who was in Xia Xu, had been keeping a close eye on Yan Wushuang's movements.
Waiting for revenge!
How powerful a person's hatred is can be seen from this suave and elegant young man.
If Zhang Yuan wants to deal with Yan Wushuang, he definitely needs to know the latest situation of the latter.
Fuyun Inn is where he met the spies.
As soon as Zhang Yuan entered the inn, a waiter immediately came up to him, nodded and asked: "Sir, are you staying in an inn or working in a hotel?"
This inn also provides meals, and there are tables in the lobby. There were more than a dozen wine tables, most of which were occupied by guests.
Business is quite good.
“Let’s open a room first.”
Zhang Yuan handed the straw bag in his hand to the other party: “Cook me a few more specialty dishes and warm a pot of wine.”< br>
"Okay!"
The innkeeper took the turtle and said with a smile: "You go first, the food and wine will be delivered soon!"
Zhang Yuan sat at the empty table next to him Next, I took the teapot on the table and poured myself a cup of tea.
Drink calmly.
He keenly noticed that many eyes fell on him.
There were dozens of drinkers sitting in the lobby of the inn, many of them fierce and powerful people.
Some people heard the conversation between Zhang Yuan and the clerk.
Some people just glanced curiously, while others' eyes were obscure, as if they were thinking about something.
There are also people with fierce flashes in their eyes, looking quite evil!
Zhang Yuan ignored the gazes of these people.
After the waiter brought the food and wine to the table, he slapped an ingot of silver on the table and said, "Refund more and make up less."
Damengze is special, and silver notes are not easy to use here.
After Zhang Yuan learned about the situation, he took a lot of silver and gold leaves with him.
As a result, this twelve-weight ingot of snowflake silver attracted more attention.
And covet it!
Zhang Yuan didn't care and just drank and ate on his own.
The dishes here are mainly river fresh food. Due to the lack of rich seasonings, the taste can only be described as ordinary.
It is better than a fresh word.
As for the staple food, a big bowl of purple rice is quite unique and the taste is unexpectedly good.
He ate one bowl and asked for another.
Quite a pleasure!
After eating and drinking, Zhang Yuan asked the waiter to remove the leftovers and ordered a pot of hot tea to taste slowly.
Seeing the guests in the lobby leave one by one, when Zhang Yuan was getting a little impatient, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man sat down opposite him.
The visitor had a humble smile and asked tentatively: "May I ask your Excellency, are you from Xia Xu?"
Zhang Yuan put down the tea cup and grinned: "My surname is Zhang. ”
