Chapter 192 Buy
Worry-free City.
Outside the bun shop, a group of people gathered around.
They stared at that person closely, and could not see any signs of fraud. Some people did not even believe him and actually asked other shops nearby.
However, the bosses also admitted frankly, saying: "He is the boss of the bun shop! That's right, it has always been him!"
"That's right, do you have a problem?"
"..."
Everyone was confused.
He Wenzhi was thinking in his mind, glanced at Bai Ruozi beside him, and then pulled her away from here.
It’s not that I’m going to any special place, I just want to check the situation of the bun shop owner’s residence.
When they got here, they found that there was really no one else inside, and the only thing left was the donkey.
But the donkey has returned to the mill and continues its original work.
There were many people living in the huge Wuyou City. He Wenzhi went to the surrounding residents to inquire about the situation.
The answers obtained are all the same.
That person lives here, this house is his, that bun shop is also his, and he is the boss.
And... it has always been like this, there has never been a change of people!
I can’t figure it out! I really can’t figure it out!
He Wenzhi frowned, crossed his chest with one hand, and touched his chin with the other.
"Ask brother, I always feel...it seems like I am looking for a substitute..." Bai Ruozi said suddenly.
"I've thought about it too, but..." He Wenzhi nodded, but felt something was wrong.
From the very beginning, he had already thought about whether he would be looking for a substitute. After all, this one looked so similar.
But if you are looking for a substitute, there is no need for the substitute to have no memory, right?
The Awakened One now behaves like he has no idea or recognition at all.
Obviously they were walking together before, entering the secret realm from the outside together, and they also said that they would cooperate to find the main force together.
As a result...he couldn't remember any of these things, and even regarded himself as a native here.
Not only that, but other people here also feel the same way, saying that this is how he is and that he has always lived here.
If this is really looking for a substitute, then this [finding a substitute] is a bit exaggerated.
Not only was it affected, but the surroundings and even the entire city were affected.
Furthermore, it is understandable that ghosts look for substitutes. Many ghosts look for substitutes.
But... they are all human beings!
This is what He Wenzhi cannot figure out.
Many people here have been contacted by He Wenzhi.
At that time, the aunt who was selling candied haws took the initiative to touch He Wenzhi. Yang Huo judged that she was human.
Like Xiaoyu and her grandmother, He Wenzhi has also come into contact with them, they are both human beings.
He Wenzhi has never had contact with the boss of the bun shop, but others have.
It is estimated that other people should have tested it when they came into contact, otherwise they would not be as surprised as they are now.
It is precisely because they are sure that the other party is a human, but they behave like a ghost [looking for a substitute], that is why those people react like this.
"What secrets are hidden in this city?" He Wenzhi frowned.
He took Bai Ruozi back to the original place where the bun shop was. Until now, there were still people surrounding it.
Just listen to those people still talking, some people still don’t believe it, probably because they can’t understand.
So someone suggested that since you have always been the boss here, your skills in making steamed buns must be good.
As long as you make the crystal buns with your own hands in front of us, then we will believe you!
Maybe he couldn't stand these people's nonsense, so the man agreed.
The final result was that everyone was shocked, because he really did it, and his technique was very skillful, as if he had been a master for decades!
Seeing this scene, everyone was speechless.
It's impossible to achieve such skill in just one night, but you didn't expect that you would inherit the skills from a substitute?
Even the proficiency level is full.
Some people are suddenly thinking, in the end, will this person who is used as a substitute be able to get out?
Judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that we will not be able to leave.
After all, he no longer even knows who he is.
"Is it okay now!?" The man suddenly said: "I've done it, I've seen it! What else can you say?!
Or do you still want to taste my crystal? Do the buns taste authentic?"
"No way." Everyone shook their heads. How dare they try it?
Isn’t it the beginning of everything because this man ate steamed buns?
In this way, what really makes this person forget who he is and think that he is a native here is because of that bun?
Thinking about it carefully, something was wrong with this person from the very beginning when he ate the buns.
He Wenzhi thought to himself when he walked to the place selling candied haws, it was the same old lady from yesterday.
“Let’s have a bunch of candied haws on a stick.”
“Good!” The aunt’s face was filled with a very happy smile, and then she poked He Wenzhi’s waist and whispered. He said: "Little handsome boy, you and the girl next to you are not married yet, are you? Do you really not consider my daughter?"
He Wenzhi smiled and shook his head, but took the candied haws and did not Say more.
But when it came time to pay, it was a bit embarrassing, because no one wanted his money at all, and it was not a currency that could be circulated here.
The aunt also took out the currency here and gave him a look, which shocked He Wenzhi at that time.
This is actually a ghost coin!
Why do living people use Hades coins to trade? !
But the aunt was still very polite. When she saw that He Wenzhi couldn't come up with the money, she didn't say anything and just treated it as a gift to him.
It's just a bunch of candied haws, not worth much.
He Wenzhi was shocked, but he still thanked him a few times, but he didn't know that the aunt's eyes were looking straight at him at this time.
"Brother, you are eating, why aren't you eating yet?"
He Wenzhi suddenly became alert, and without showing any expression on his face, he just said with a smile: "I won't eat it now. , take it back to eat later!”
“That’s not possible! I’m giving this to you for free, I have to see you eat it with my own eyes!” The aunt said reluctantly, “Then at least first Eat one!”
He Wenzhi's eyes suddenly narrowed, and it seemed that it was exactly what he thought.
Not just steamed buns, but everything in this worry-free city may cause problems as long as you eat it.
Is the whole city looking for a substitute?
At this moment, Bai Ruozi took out the Ming Coin and handed it to the aunt.
"Isn't it just a bunch of candied haws! Do you still have to watch whether he eats it now?" Bai Ruozi looked unhappy and said, "I paid the money!"
When the aunt saw that she was rich, she couldn't say anything in the end.
It’s just that when she collected the money and left, her face didn’t look good.
He Wenzhi asked: "Why do you still carry the Underworld Coin with you?"
Bai Ruozi explained: "The Corpse Clan itself has many half-human and half-corpse beings. , and also often deal with dead people and corpses, Sometimes it is inevitable to use some means to eliminate disasters, so everyone in the zombie tribe will have some with them."
"Do you want to buy more this time? Something!”
"You can just buy it, I will definitely bring enough for this time!" Bai Ruozi said, opening his backpack, and there were actually a lot of ghost coins in it.
However, He Wenzhi suppressed those Ming coins, and then said: "If the wealth is not revealed, the Ming coins are of no use to us, but to the people here, they are all Real money!"
"I asked my brother, who would dare to take money from me?" Bai Ruozi smiled.
He Wenzhi couldn't help but laugh, and even reached out to scratch her nose.
“That’s right.”
"Hee hee."
Following that, He Wenzhi went to the pork shop and bought some pork that had grown up eating the pig food made by the beauty.
Then I bought a basket of steamed buns from the nearby steamed bun shop, and then went to the crystal steamed bun shop and bought some crystal steamed buns.
The awakened people and practitioners who were still on the street felt very strange when they saw this scene.
At the same time, someone reminded: "Brothers and sisters! You saw what happened yesterday and today. There is something wrong with the food here. You can't eat it! Why do you still buy it?"
"Yes! Look what happened to that man! I think he will have to stay here forever and never get out!"
"Brother, it's only the second day, you have to Hold on!"
"If you are really short of food, join us and stop being a lone ranger!"
"Although we don't know each other, we are all from the same place. As long as we unite together in this strange place, we can always find a way! When the time comes to find a large force, everything will be solved!"< br>
Actually, yesterday, someone did ask He Zhi if he wanted to join.
It's just that He Wenzhi had his own things to do, so he declined politely. However, he didn't expect that these people would still be so enthusiastic today and would still care about him.
So he said: "Do you have a lot of food?"
"It's not too much, that is, everyone has prepared a backpack before coming in, with as much or as little as they want, all added up. Together, as long as you save some food, you should be fine for a month!”
“What about water?”
“This...”
He Wenzhi scanned those people again and said, "Where did you spend the night last night? Did anything happen to you?"
"I just stayed at an inn in the city for one night. Because the inn was locked at night, we didn’t go out. I didn't find anything... Could it be that you found something? How about we exchange information?"
He Wenzhi thought for a while and said, "I can't be sure now, I just feel that this city has arrived. There is a problem at night, anyway you Just worry, it's nothing. It's best not to come out at night."
The man nodded, then lowered his voice, looked around at the shops and vendors, and then whispered: "Brother. , let me tell you something too, When we stayed at the inn last night, we discovered that they were all using ghost coins for transactions! That’s dead money!”
Fortunately, some of these people had ghost coins with them, so they were allowed to do so. Avoided sleeping rough last night.
Upon hearing this, He Wenzhi smiled and shook the thing in his hand: "Don't you think I know?"
"Ah this..." The man suddenly felt so embarrassed and thought Find a hole to get into.
They are already buying things, obviously they know that they need to use Hades coins to trade!
He Wenzhi patted him on the shoulder, didn't say anything, and just left with Bai Ruozi.
Walking on the road, Bai Ruozi asked: "Ask brother, where are we going now? Why did you buy these things?"
"We are going to visit Xiaoyu's house now. It would be bad to go empty-handed. Of course we have to bring something with us, right?" He Wenzhi smiled and said: "Oh, that's right! I will pay you back the money when we get out. "
Bai Ruozi: "..."
This is a ghost coin, a dead man's money!
I am a living person, why are you paying me back money from a dead person!
She was speechless for a while. She always felt that sometimes the idea of asking her brother was weird. She really wanted to pry open his head and see what was inside.
Soon, the two came to Xiaoyu's house.
Dong dong dong!
There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it!" Xiaoyu's voice came from inside.
“Sister Xiaoyu, it’s us.”
"Are they the brother and sister from last night?"
"Yes, open the door!"
With a creak, the door was opened.
Xiaoyu said in surprise: "It's really you! Oh, that's not right! Aren't you going home? Why are you here again?"
Bai Ruozi said: "This is not what happened yesterday Sister Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed to have stayed here for nothing, so she bought something as a return gift today.”
"Oh, I'm so embarrassed! Sister, you don't have to be so polite." Xiaoyu said, but kept staring at the big piece of pork.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ruozi smiled: "I'll make it later!"
"Hehe..." Xiaoyu smiled sheepishly.
He Wenzhi asked: "Xiaoyu, where is your grandma?"
"Grandma went out early in the morning!" Xiaoyu said, opening the door completely and letting in The two came in and continued: "Grandma often goes out early in the morning, saying that she wants to prepare food for us to eat."
He Wenzhi: "Isn't there a lot of food in the city? Why do we have to go out to look for it when there are so many shops outside?"
"I don't know, grandma has always been like this." Xiaoyu said as he took the steamed buns, pork, and candied haws.
She swallowed her saliva and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother and sister, can I eat a bun first and then a candied haws?"
"No, I have to wait for your grandma. Let’s eat together when we come back!” He Wenzhi shook his head.
"Okay..." Xiaoyu seemed very disappointed, but he still took everything into the kitchen obediently, and then moved chairs for the two of them to sit down in the yard and bask in the sun.
She herself walked to the side, first filled the water tank with water, and then chopped firewood on the side.
He Wenzhi thought for a while, explained a few words to Bai Ruozi, and then walked over and asked him to come and chop.
Xiaoyu naturally refused. After all, I’m sorry, this is a guest.
However, due to He Wenzhi's insistent request and Bai Ruozi asking her to come over and talk to him, she finally had to agree.
He Wenzhi was chopping firewood, observing the surrounding environment carefully, and thinking in his heart at the same time.
Why does Xiaoyu's grandma go out to find food instead of getting it directly from Wuyou City?
Could it be because she knew she couldn’t eat it?
But isn’t she also from Wuyou City?
Moreover, if it was known that there was something wrong with the food in Wuyou City, then why was the little fish so greedy just now and wanted to eat it right away?
When grandma knows there is a problem, she shouldn’t tell Xiaoyu, right?
It was precisely because he felt something was wrong here that he refused to let the little fish eat just now, but said he would wait for grandma to come back.
The reason why Bai Ruozi came to chop firewood and let Bai Ruozi chat with Xiaoyu was also to let Bai Ruozi try to get some information from Xiaoyu's mouth.
After all, they are all girls, so it is probably easier to communicate.
Thinking about it carefully, among all the people I have come into contact with so far, only Xiaoyu’s grandma has a completely different attitude.
And what happened in Xiaoyu’s room last night?
He Wenzhi was chopping firewood. He was so curious that he couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoyu, you woke up in the middle of the night last night? Were you crying?"
Xiaoyu was stunned and said: " No, I slept soundly at night and I won’t wake up.”
“Won’t wake up?” He Wenzhi frowned, who lit the lamp in Xiaoyu’s room last night?
And who made the sobbing and rubbing sounds?
And the way grandma looked last night, from a certain perspective, it was obvious that she wanted to protect He Wenzhi, so she was so anxious, and even used a warning attitude in the end.
There was nothing I could do, after all, it was why he didn't listen first when he asked, so grandma was in a hurry.
"It seems like the only way I can find out is when the old lady comes back." He Wenzhi thought in his heart.
He looked at Xiaoyu again and asked: "Xiaoyu, when does grandma usually come back?"
"Grandma won't come back at noon, she has to wait until the afternoon or evening."
“Okay.”
He Wenzhi nodded, now he could only wait.
I just don’t know if I can get some information about Huang Xiaoyan from the old lady.
"Maybe you can ask the old lady about Xuanwu Pavilion, or Lanyue Mountain..."
The broadband is broken, and it uses mobile phone codes. I will update these first today. In Writer Assistant, it is really inconvenient to code on mobile phone. The cat's red light kept flashing, so I called China Telecom, but it won't come until tomorrow. I hope I can come as soon as possible.
