Chapter 27 The breath that shouldn’t appear
Thomas spoke sadly about his rough and degenerate first half of life.
Wang Jixuan plays the role of a qualified listener.
For Wang Daochang, although Thomas's story is not very interesting, as long as he looks at the lives of mortals, it can also enhance his understanding of the world of mortals.
The handmade car drove along the bumpy winding road into the forty-ninth floor, actively avoiding the confrontation area between the Black Fire Gang and the Wanlijin Gang, and drove into Wanlijin's territory unimpeded.
Just like the area controlled by the Black Fire Gang has a nickname called "Resurrection City", Wanlijin's territory also has a unique name.
【Emerald Manor】.
This is a large farm that provides brewing materials.
The size of the Emerald Manor is almost the same as that of the Resurrection City. White greenhouses used for growing crops can be seen everywhere. The main residential area is compressed into a narrow area, creating a strange scene of a 'box forest'.
Wang Jixuan suddenly heard the children's screams of joy.
He looked out the car window;
Children are playing in the maze-like ‘box forest’. An energy-saving lamp will light up in front of many box rooms, and adults are sewing and mending under the light.
Emerald Manor is the lower city area that consumes the most light and electricity besides Happy City.
In addition to fermenting wine and supplying vegetables and fruits to the upper city, Wanlijin's third largest business is hand sewing. Forty percent of the clothes, shoes and hats in the entire lower city come from this forest.
Including the green sweatshirts of their rival Blackfire gang.
Wang Jixuan could also see many people drinking and chatting on the stage in twos and threes, and many men and women with loaded guns patrolling everywhere.
His attention was quickly drawn to the greenhouses.
In his perception, the aura over there...
Very pure!
The amount of spiritual energy is also slightly higher!
Is it because there are so many plants?
This accidental discovery made Wang Jixuan feel a little more eager.
It turned out that he was quite lucky today.
The agent who brought him here, "Goat Butt" Thomas, finally stopped narrating and lamenting, pointed to a continuous greenhouse area, and said in a hoarse voice: "We will go there later.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou, I have never told anyone else my story, except my driver... Just now, you made me re-examine my life.
"In return, I will introduce you to my adoptive mother, which is my former home. She is the most famous old man in the Wanlijin Gang.
"Okay, let me tell you the truth.
"Because your uncle is an energetic man, that's what I planned from the beginning. I arranged for you to come to my hometown. I hope you can get along well with my brothers and sisters here. When they need help in the future, you can Offer them a little favor.
"Wait a minute, I need to change my style, otherwise that cranky old lady will hit my sexy butt with her broom."
Thomas began to wipe his face and remove his makeup.
"Thank you," Wang Jixuan said softly.
Taoist Wang was somewhat emotional after hearing the story along the way.
Thomas is this guy's 'stage name'. In order to facilitate his business in the Happy City, this guy also has a rather poetic real name of Hua Queyue, which is basically no longer used now.
Focusing on a sense of contrast.
Thomas "claims" to be a sexual conservative and has a secret girlfriend. His seductive dressing up, the way he talks, and the way he behaves are all designed to enhance the recognition of him by different groups of people.
To do a business like his - to get people from Zhongcheng to settle down in Xiacheng, and to get people from Downtown to settle in Zhongcheng - the most important thing is connections.
A few minutes later.
Thomas wiped off his eye makeup, foundation, and bright red lips, put on a black shirt, skillfully applied sticky hairspray on his hands, and plucked his comb-shaped hair into six-quarter lengths with three strokes. Smooth head shape.
A charming middle-aged man in his forties with a fit figure quickly appeared in front of Wang Jixuan.
Taoist Wang: The transformation techniques in this world don’t even require casting spells!
"How about it?"
Thomas deliberately used a bubble voice:
"Can I be a male cover model? In fact, my first job in the City of Joy was as a window model, you know."
Wang Jixuan smiled: "What should we do next?"
"Follow me, put away these bohemian expressions of yours, just... try to be calm inside, and make yourself look like an intellectual."
Thomas rubbed his nose:
"My adoptive mother has a very bad temper and hates gangsters who are not doing their job properly. Don't tell her why you were forced to come to the lower city. She hates murderers the most.
"You just say that you have offended some people with background in Zhongcheng, they want to kill you, and your uncle arranged for you to hide for a while, that is enough.
"do you understand?"
"I guess so."
"Get out of the car and wait for me for a while. I'll go take care of you and ask them to take more care of you in the future."
Thomas put on a pair of ordinary sneakers, opened the door and got out.
Immediately, a warm shout came from the side: "Brother Hua! I haven't been back for a long time!"
"Hahaha! Long time no see!"
"It's been a long time since I've seen you bring someone here. Are there peanuts that can extract oil and water this time?" "This time is different. His uncle is in charge of logistics on the eleventh floor and is very energetic... Don't tell anyone about this." No one, especially my old lady, should know."
"Wow! Why would such a person come to our slum?"
"They also have enemies, and this poor guy was framed by someone else, so he can only come here to avoid the limelight..."
Wang Jixuan got out of the car and saw Thomas chatting with seven or eight men and women under the street light.
There were more Wanlijin gang members coming here, talking around Thomas, and taking cigarettes from Thomas's hand.
The uncle driver opened the trunk and took out two foam boxes.
"Brother Zhou, come here and help me."
"Okay," Wang Jixuan took a box and found bags of edible flour inside.
The basic food of the fortress is starch sticks. They are not made from this wheat flour, which is considered to be a relatively expensive item in the lower city.
Wang Jixuan waited with the driver for more than ten minutes, and Thomas finally ended the smoke and greeting session.
This guy walked over with a cheerful face, patted Wang Jixuan on the shoulder, turned on a pocket flashlight, and headed towards the greenhouse area ahead.
As he got closer to these greenhouses, Wang Jixuan's feeling became stronger.
The spiritual energy here is indeed purer.
Unexpectedly, he found a good place to practice by mistake!
These greenhouses are arranged very closely. Each greenhouse is a standard ten meters long and three meters wide. There is a family in each greenhouse. Those who can live here are families of Wanlijin Gang members.
While showing the way, Thomas introduced Wang Jixuan: "The formula soil that can grow crops is Wanlijin's top-secret technology.
“Don’t underestimate the soil that seems to be everywhere. Each household’s greenhouse can receive a fixed limit of formula soil every year.
“Accordingly, each greenhouse must produce enough crops every year, mainly grapes for winemaking and vegetables for the upper city. If the specified quantity is not reached, the family will lose the right to plant the crops the next year.
“Taking care of plants is the easiest job in the city.
“If they can get the production to go higher, there’s going to be some reward for the extra production.
"For the sake of fairness, the harvesting is carried out uniformly by the Wanlijin Gang. If the growers are found to be stealing, they will permanently lose their planting rights and will be severely beaten."
Wang Jixuan said: "It actually sounds pretty good."
"In terms of environment, your choice of Wanlijin is actually the wisest choice, but as an agent, I must say that the possibility of getting ahead here is relatively low, unless you go to fight against the Black Fire Gang."
As he spoke, Thomas cleared his throat and straightened his waist subconsciously. He looked at the three-story wooden building standing out from the crowd behind the greenhouse area and exhaled softly.
The wooden building is a bit old and has been standing here for many years.
The news of Thomas's return had reached here in advance. Seven or eight children, ranging from three to twelve or thirteen years old, crowded under a yellow door light at the door, looking eagerly in this direction.
"Brother Hua!"
A little girl shouted in surprise.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
With laughter, Thomas rushed over with open arms, flashlight shaking.
The eight children came forward at the same time, chirping like a group of little magpies.
Wang Jixuan listened to Thomas chattering all the way. In addition to knowing Thomas's rough, violent, and sentimental personal growth story, he also heard Thomas talk about his "adoptive mother's wooden house" many times.
These children were adopted by the old lady.
The reason why they were able to draw an area here and create a small yard in which they planted some dark-resistant fruit trees and some simple vegetables was actually because of Thomas. ——After Lao Tuo became a prominent figure in the lower city, he fully repaid his adoptive mother who raised him.
Wang Jixuan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little more.
This is the emotion of mortals...
Um?
Wang Jixuan frowned inadvertently and looked at the new figure that appeared under the door light.
It was a white-haired old lady, who looked to be sixty or seventy years old. She was wearing a light-colored floral skirt and a brown sweater jacket. She was leaning on the door frame, smiling as she watched her adopted sons and daughters playing in front of the door. noisy.
In Xiacheng, it is very rare for an old man to live to this age, but this is not the reason why Wang Jixuan frowns.
Maybe Wang Jixuan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the old woman looked up.
Through the light from the nearby greenhouse, she could see clearly what Wang Jixuan's 'Zhou Tiantian' looked like after he had disguised himself.
She said with a dark face: "Xiaohua! You bastard! You are finally going to take over my business!"
"Mom! This young man is different!"
Thomas smiled and leaned forward, opening his hands to ask for a hug, but was forced back by a pretentious kick from the old lady.
"You are still in such good health," Thomas praised, waving secretly to Wang Jixuan and the driver.
Wang Jixuan's expression had returned to the smile it had been before. He held the foam box forward, closed the distance and sensed it carefully.
That's right.
There was a mottled and messy aura surrounding the old man.
The Qi in the body of Wen Heisen, the third leader of the Blackfire Gang and a D-class psyker.
