"magic……"

Lin Yi withdrew his hand and looked at a short and thick driver: "How much is the car?"

"Go back to uncle, let's see where you want to go. If you go a longer distance, you will spend more. If you want to go chic and comfortable, there are chic and comfortable places to go."

The coachman chuckled, showing a smile that all men know.

"What's the time now?"

"What time? Uncle, you are talking about foreigners' stuff, right? We still have time here, after all, things from our ancestors can't be forgotten!"

The coachman wiped the seat quickly with his hands and feet, and said: "It's six o'clock in the unitary hour, but it's a happy time, sir, would you like to eat, drink, or have fun?"

The coachman looks simple and honest, but when it comes to eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, there will be a smile that men can understand on his face. He must have contacted some shops, and he can get a lot of benefits by taking customers there, or there are more customers. , Lu Zi also became familiar.

"The sixth quarter of the unitary hour...about 06:30?"

Lin Yi murmured, staring at the small town in front of him, and said lightly: "Take me to the teahouse with the most people, the benefits are indispensable to you."

"My lord, if you want to have fun, the villain can take you to a good place. As long as the money is in place, there are all kinds of women. There are even Yangzhou skinny horses in that place!"

Seeing Lin Yi talking about going to the teahouse, but he had no idea when it came to money, the driver began to yell loudly.

I thought the young man was embarrassed to say it, so he introduced it enthusiastically.

But after seeing Lin Yi close his eyes and concentrate on not speaking, he just shut up and stopped talking, picked up the rickshaw steadily and trotted forward.

Not to mention that this man is pulling the cart, he is really stable. Lin Yi, who was quietly watching the streets on both sides of the cart, stared at the scene in his eyes, and at the same time, he was thinking about what kind of film and television could have the current plot, but it was only for a while. Can't remember.

Because this period was too chaotic and evil, and there were a lot of films and TV shows.

But it will definitely not be an ordinary world, and there will even be practitioners. Otherwise, how could the barren village become such a lively scene in a very short period of time?

Where is this? ! !

Weird. .

After a short journey, the coachman stopped quickly, bowed his waist and said: "Master, this 'Fengting Pavilion' is the largest teahouse in Huangshi Town, and the storyteller in it is said to have come back from the provincial capital to learn art. There are a lot of foreign stories in it, and you know a lot about foreign culture. If you don’t like crowded places, you can open a small box to order your favorite tunes.”

"Hey...Young and tender girls can also order."

Lin Yi ignored the winking man, and said calmly, "How much is it?"

"Master Two Dime."

"Twenty cents? Can I exchange it for something else if I don't have any money? How about this?"

Hearing this sentence, the coachman drew back the dagger he had drawn from his waist, took the golden bean on the car seat in surprise, bit it in his mouth, and said joyfully, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

But when he turned around and looked over, where was the figure of this young man? ! !

Chapter 479 An era of chaos?A tricky thing strikes?

in the tea house.

People come and go, there are no empty seats.

Brother son, little master, coolie, ordinary people...

People in all kinds of costumes can be seen here.

Each tea table is equipped with tea, snacks, melon seeds, peanuts and the like. The closer the table is, the more delicate the various pastries and tea are, and the wearers are also dressed in either rich or expensive clothes.

Many people in this teahouse are listening attentively to the storyteller on the stage telling foreign stories.

And on the small stage in the tea house, a storyteller over half a century old wearing a long robe and holding a fan was talking about some genres and anecdotes about foreign forces, such as "big steel ship", "long gun cannon", "iron bird", "iron bird" The anecdotes of "car" and "railway train" made many spectators below stunned and complained.

"Fuck your shit, I believe that boats are made of iron, I also believe that foreign devils like cannons are powerful, I don't know about iron birds, I have seen iron cars, but they are tens of meters long The train can pull a mountain of goods hundreds of miles away in a short period of time? Who are you bragging about?"

"That's right, goods that look like hills, do you think we'll talk about the story of immortals coming down to earth?"

"I also think it's a bit fake."

"Isn't this newcomer talking nonsense just to cheat some money..."

The audience roared with laughter, it was obvious that some people of the same rank and class were idle and teasing and flirting with the storyteller. On the other hand, some honest people or listeners who listened carefully, and those who were either rich or expensive, did not follow suit, but there was some doubt in their eyes. move.

Perhaps, he was a little surprised by what the old man said.

The storyteller on the small stage didn't pay attention to these voices of doubt, or they had seen such scenes a lot.

He didn't speak, and calmly called the two apprentices beside him to bring some tea and pastries to eat calmly. After the silence below, he took the handkerchief from the younger disciple and wiped his lips. He continued talking in a cadenced voice.

"To drive a car on the ground, either by human power or by the power of livestock, it does not exceed a hundred miles a day."

"Since the principle of steam is clear, there are steamboats on water, and automobiles on land."

"The journey of a car depends entirely on the steam engine. The places it passes must be covered with railroad tracks. On the rails, the car can travel more than a hundred miles in an hour, which is beyond the reach of ordinary cars."

"A train, also known as a steamer, uses a steam engine as the driving force to pull passenger cars and freight cars on the railway. The vehicle equipped with a steam engine is called a locomotive, commonly known as a locomotive."

"The steam wheel car is equipped with a warehouse, which can pull tons of goods, and walks like flying on the track, just like the fairy method of 'traveling in the North Sea in the morning'!!!"

Immortal means?

When hearing these words, there was a commotion below.

I don't know how many onlookers were stunned by these words, the provocateurs fell silent, and those rich people also showed shock on their faces.

Indeed, who would not be surprised to hear that a car tens of meters long can carry cargo like a hill, and can also walk like flying?

Isn't this the means of the gods?

Seeing the panicked expressions of the people under the stage, the storyteller sneered and said, "Outside Shanghai, there were foreigners who once built a small railway stretching hundreds of miles, from Shanghai to Haikou, hundreds of miles away, carrying Shan Gao's goods, and arriving in the morning and arriving at noon. , Speeding like a god, the people around the railroad track for miles around panicked and regarded it as a monster, and wrote a letter to the provincial capital. After discussion, the officials decided that it was unknown and crushed the lifeline of the place, so they demolished it."

wow...

Hearing this rumor, many people in the audience were also startled. They whispered to each other, unable to believe that such a good tool was dismantled.

When the people around were immersed in the story, Lin Yi sat calmly on a seat, ordered some tea and snacks to sit and watch quietly, and listened to the storyteller's story with everyone.

It's a pity that Mr. Storyteller no longer tells stories about steel cannons, but starts to talk about stories about foreigners, such as "princess knight", "harem absurdity", "foreigner Zeus God" and other colorful stories , many people below cheered and shouted hello, and some people even reached out their hands red-faced, not knowing what to do next.

After listening to it for a while, Lin Yi shook his head and called a servant to set up a small box. He called someone to ask what dynasty he was in. It was only after he knew that he was in an era where there were many vassal kings and generals everywhere.

At present, the imperial government is incompetent, and its control over various places has been greatly reduced. At the same time, there are blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners overseas for trade, which has set off a separatist regime that is different from the past. The vassal kings and generals of various places colluded with foreigners because of factors such as power and interests. Together, they listened to the court's policies and did not listen to the announcement, causing many things that challenged the court.

Nowadays, vassal kings and generals from all over the country have set off to test the bottom line of the court under the collusion with foreigners. In particular, General Shi in the north successfully defeated hundreds of thousands of Beijing troops after he suppressed the civil servants to control a mansion. After being recognized by the imperial court, he proclaimed himself king and paid countless silver and food, and became famous all over the world.

Since then, generals from all over the world have become bold and bold, either to establish themselves as kings, or to seize the power of a place by force, making the world even more chaotic.

In the past ten years since then, the imperial court has not only failed to subdue the rebels in various places, but has become weaker and weaker. It has also made powerful forces in various places begin to control the currency, and the currency and prices of each region are different.

For example, Huangshi Town and even the towns and townships in the ten miles and eight townships are under the management of Marshal Wang in the county, but there are more powerful people above Marshal Wang.

As for other places, the people in this teahouse couldn't answer.

Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded calmly, and after sending the other party to a nearby map, he slowly walked down from the teahouse, intending to take a stroll around this small town alone to see what is so strange about it.

It's really weird to say here.

It was obviously a deserted and uninhabited place when it was just approaching, but just after stepping into the territory, it turned into this bustling town with a lot of people.

Everyone inside is extremely real, an independent individual, not a ghost manipulated by a ghost, why isn't he surprised?

Although he didn't transform into a real body, he should be able to detect any evil or evil in his human form, but there is no ghost or evil here. If it weren't for the previous situation, he might have thought that this is a small place where living people live. As for the town, how could it not be a surprise?

"I don't even know where it is."

Just as Lin Yi was going downstairs, the storyteller happened to be talking about the story of "lady cheating", which immediately caused laughter in the hall. Listening carefully, it turned out that it was a watchman who was ridiculed for his wife Hong Xing came out of the wall.

The honest watchman was arguing with others with a red face, but he just said that there were not so many people in the teahouse, and was even kicked out by some bastards laughing and scolding, before he left in despair.

There was nothing special about this scene, so Lin Yi ignored it.

After leaving the teahouse, Lin Yi walked around the town, trying to see something special.

It's a pity that this small town doesn't have any outstanding or evil features compared with other places. At best, the street at the entrance of the town is very prosperous, while other places are dilapidated and ordinary.

And the people in the town are all independent-minded individuals, and they can't see the difference.

In desperation, Lin Yi had no choice but to find an inn to stay.

It's not that he doesn't want to leave this small town, it's just that he walks out of the town, no matter how he tries to leave, he will eventually circle back to the gate of the town.

It was said that it was a ghost covering his eyes, and there was no evil spirit, Lin Yi had no choice but to stay here to see what dared to force him to stay.

The inn at night was very peaceful. From time to time, you could hear the sound of watchmen on the street and the noise of drunk people returning home one after another. As for any ghosts and ghosts coming to the door, I didn't see it.

Lin Yi, who had been half-closed all night, got up from the bed, stood silently by the window and watched Huangshi Town under the sun.

Last night, nothing happened.

None of the monsters he imagined appeared to deal with him.

Even now in the daytime when the rooster crows and the sun comes out, there is no illusory change in the town.

The sun is shining on the street, shining on the blue tiles and walls, many shops are opening one after another, and the stalls on both sides of the street are also selling and selling things, and many people are slowly pouring into the street. What is the difference between the breath of life seen in the town?

Except for not being able to leave this small town, it's just like the real world.

Silently, Lin Yi went downstairs, bought some casually to eat early, and then continued to stroll around the town, but the scene in front of him was extremely real, whether it was the touch or the vivid behavior of these people, it told him that there was no difference here place.

The only thing that made him frown was that the town still couldn't leave.

"This place is inseparable... What is it that trapped me here?"

Lin Yi frowned slightly, and called the rickshaw driver to pull him out of the town, but the rickshaw driver kept asking him where he was going as if he didn't hear this sentence.

Unable to find a way, Lin Yi stopped trying to get out of here. He casually wandered the streets, and suddenly heard many people talking about something, talking about something, and they were walking towards the place in groups. Go in one direction.

After inquiring, I found out that a watchman killed his wife last night. Now that the incident happened, he was taken to the ancestral hall in the town. The clan elders from Huangshi Town came here to start interrogating this person. .

Silently, Lin Yi followed a group of villagers towards the sacrificial hall. It didn't take long to see that the villagers surrounded the place with water, and some respected old people and the mayor of the innermost place came, and sat on the table to discuss indifferently. What, there was a man in the open space who was tied up by Wu Hua Da, and his body was covered in blood.

He looked carefully, and was surprised to find that the bound person was the one who argued with others last night.

"I'm wronged! I'm wronged! I didn't kill my wife!!"

"Clan elder! Everyone in the town knows that I have been honest and honest since I was a child. Otherwise, why would I be allowed to fight? I can't kill my wife!"

"Mayor! Mayor!! Several times there were thieves in the town who stole things, and some people forgot to close the door. I helped out and didn't want the things they sent. How could I do such a bad thing, I am wronged!!"

In the open space, the fat man was covered in blood from the beating, and his hands and feet were all tied up, but his voice was still very violent, and his body was still shaking.

Many people who saw this picture commented and pointed.

Several old people and people with authority and reputation in the town did not directly respond to the fat man, but whispered to each other. After a while, an old man with white hair and a goatee asked solemnly: "Did you kill the fat man?" Your wife, did your wife stab herself to death with a knife?"

"I..." The fat man fell silent, and his attitude of resistance suddenly relaxed, but it caused the people around him to discuss again.

"Hmph! Have you nothing to say?"

The old man grieved and said: "Zhang Bold, Zhang Bold, you are honest and kind in daily life, we think highly of you, so we let you work as a watchman to make a living, and you won't starve to death. Think about your starving old man." Parents are short of a few catties of food and can’t survive the winter, you grew up eating a hundred rice relief and finally got married, and now you are doing such a thing, are you still human!!”

"I..." Zhang Bold fell silent again, hesitating and not daring to speak.

Seeing this scene, many villagers began to curse, most of them said bad things about Zhang Bold, and the words became more and more harsh. The meaning of insult and abuse made many honest villagers feel a little strange.

Lin Yi squinted his eyes, looked at some directions in the crowd unexpectedly, and then withdrew his gaze.

He naturally noticed that some people in the crowd were deliberately stirring up emotions, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Hearing many swear words from the crowd, Zhang Bold looked painful and struggled. When the old patriarch was about to announce that Zhang Bold would be whipped ninety lashes and drowned in the pond, Zhang Bold resisted desperately and said something , It was this sentence that caused an uproar among the people present.

Because after hearing what others said about his wife Hongxing cheating, Zhang Bold went home early and didn't make a call. Who knew that the mayor's son and his wife were on the same bed, and he saw the mayor's son stabbing his wife with his own eyes. He was still covered on the bed after he died, and he was too afraid to speak.

Hearing this, the audience was in an uproar.

The old patriarch and his group were even more furious, they all angrily denounced Zhang Bold for lying, and then ordered people to stop Zhang Bold's mouth and beat him to death, and then tied stones and sank to the bottom of the pond.

Seeing this, Lin Yi was silent.

Because this kind of thing is too common in this era, a clan chief, mayor or something is the king's law of a place, it is too easy to kill an ordinary person, where a watchman can resist if he wants to What about the resistance?

What's more, what he said was really groundless, and he didn't know what happened in this place, and he didn't want to disturb it rashly.

After Zhang Boldly died, life in the town was still the same.

But with the passage of time, various strange things also appeared...

Chapter 480 Repeatedly, the deadlock that cannot be broken?

Nothing happened during the day, but Zhang Boldly died on the first night.
