[comprehensive] superior skills

"It's you two guys who want to rent a house?"

In the square of the Pigpen Walled City, the charter woman with a cigarette in her mouth squinted at the strange newcomer, "He looks like a dog, show me a dime first!"

"How can you swear at people casually!"

Because the outlandish clothes did not meet the contemporary aesthetic needs, the mynah, who was rejected by hotels and tea restaurants one after another, puffed up his mouth angrily, "We are giving you business, not begging!"

"So what if I scold you, I still want to beat you!"

The charter woman picked up the slippers and was about to start, "Dare to walk around in skirts in broad daylight, you really think my place is a rabbit's nest, one after another comes here!"

Among the onlookers, a shy uncle blushed with shame when he heard this, stomped his feet and ran back to his tailor shop with a groan.

"No matter what you look at, you don't need to start work!"

Pointing at a group of watching tenants, the renter yelled, "If you don't work, you won't have money to pay the rent. Be careful, I will drive you all out!"

After showing off her femininity, the charter woman turned to the little Taoist priest who was barely normal, "Don't say I didn't warn you, young people should keep their eyes open when they come out to walk in the rivers and lakes, don't just look at people who are handsome and put your heart out, Be careful that in the end, the bamboo basket fetches water in vain.”

"Who are you talking about?"

The starling put the basket on the ground, "I went out with living expenses!"

"Hehe, you have a pretty temper!"

The charter woman puffed up her chest, "You think I'm afraid of you if you have big breasts! I'm the boss in this pig cage city. Without my consent, let alone a few salted fish, you don't even have a hair Want to sell it!"

"Please stay calm, both of you."

Song Ci, who couldn't find a chance to interrupt for a while, hurriedly counted out a few banknotes, "It's rare to meet each other by fate, why bother to go to war over a trivial matter. Landlady, I have 200 yuan here, I don't know if it is enough to pay the rent?"

"Let's be so-so."

The renter took away the banknotes and walked up the stairs in a dignified manner, "Hey, I gave that brat a chance just for your sake. The house is only this big, it's a bit cramped for two people, but you can make a room in the middle." A curtain. Also, fire is not allowed in the house. If the house is ignited and a large part of the house is burned, I’m afraid you won’t be able to afford it if you sell it. If you want to eat, you can go to the corridor to heat it. As for the collective bathroom, you can only use it every morning. used."

She opened a musty room, "If you have any dissatisfaction, bring it up as soon as possible, and don't wait for it to be outdated."

"No problem, we just want to find a place to stay."

Song Ci looked around the room, "Thank you, Mrs. Landlord, please."

"Since it's my own, you can call me a renter from now on."

The charter woman lightly blew a smoke ring, "The store on the first floor includes all food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is much cheaper than in the urban area. If you have something to do, go to the welfare club diagonally opposite. My husband is in charge there."

Before leaving, she glanced at the second king who was still seasick, "It's okay to keep pets for self-defense, just be careful not to scare the children. That's all for now."

"Thank you, charterer!"

After seeing off his immediate boss, Song Ci put down his luggage and sat in the shabby living room, saying earnestly: "You have seen the current situation, unless you are willing to change your clothes, don't expect decent people to rent you a house. Of course, I'm not saying that the Pig Cage Walled City is not decent, but the person you want to find is unlikely to appear in such a mixed environment."

"Hmph, mentioning this matter makes me angry!"

Starling stringed the moldy salted fish together and hung them on the clothesline to dry, "If it wasn't for that idiot Tingtou who randomly bought some fairy tale books for Xiaomei to read, why would she run away from home! Xiaomei is the kindest person in our hometown The cutest girl, the clansmen who pursue her can line up to the Persian Gulf from here! Now it’s all over, I don’t know which bastard is cheaper!”

"There's no way you can just be in a hurry."

After checking that Badai didn't have a wrist watch, Song Ci knew that this was probably another heavyweight NPC, "Do you have a photo of Xiaomei? I still have some money. I can help find people in newspapers or find radio broadcasts." It’s better than looking for a needle in a haystack.”

"Report?"

The starling scratched his hair in distress, "It can't be published in the newspaper. Xiaomei ran away secretly, and I sneaked out to find Xiaomei. It would be bad if the teacher in the clan knew!"

Song Ci was speechless after hearing this: "It's not okay, that's not okay, myna, I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't call the wind and rain. Shanghai is so big, where do you want me to help you find someone? No one I know has a charter wife." many!"

"It's really a word that awakens the dreamer! The renter is the boss here, she must know how to find Xiaomei!"

The starling carefully cut out the prince's illustration, "Xiaomei is more skeptical, she said that if she wants to find the prince, she won't do anything carelessly. Why don't you help me think about it, where is the prince most likely?"

"Wait a minute."

Song Ci got up and took the change, "I was so weak from soaking in the sea water earlier, I'd better go downstairs and have something to eat first."

The charter lady said it right, the entire pig cage city is no different from a small village, except for daily necessities, there are even barefoot doctors who see Chinese medicine.

The breakfast shop happened to have fried dough sticks and hot porridge just out of the pan, Song Ci ordered a few casually, "Please hurry up, we have to go out."

"okay!"

The boss, Ghost, walked over nimbly with a tray. Seeing the starling, he was stunned for a moment, and then spit out a string of birdsong, "GoodM!"

The starling gathered the thick grass skirt spread out because of his sitting position, "Why can't I understand what he said?"

Song Ci took a sip of the preserved egg and lean meat porridge, "Oh, the boss asked you if the porridge is light, and if you want some pickles."

"It's fine with pickles, I don't like to eat things that are too salty."

Starling chewed on the fritters, "Boss, do you accept salted fish here? Authentic seafood, guaranteed to be genuine!"

A Gui rubbed his apron and smiled, "We have a small business here, and the people who come and go are ordinary neighbors, and we rarely eat salted fish."

"You don't even eat salted fish?"

Mynah muttered softly, "Human beings are so picky, no wonder things are getting harder and harder to sell."

"Young boy, don't embarrass the ghost."

At the next table, the charterer with two blushes on his face burped, "My wife just said that you are not allowed to sell even a single hair, and you still come here to ask about salted fish. Isn't this causing trouble for others!"

As soon as he put the porridge bowl away, he unceremoniously picked out some of the best-looking fritters in the food basket, "I advise you to save it and eat it slowly."

Starling's chest rose and fell, "So what if I eat it myself, I won't give in to evil forces!"

Song Ci ignored the two guys who were still bickering, and asked while paying the bill: "Boss, I would like to ask you, if I want to find someone who only knows the name in Shanghai, where is the most convenient place to go?"

A Gui collected the fifty cents, "It depends on whether you have enough funds. If you want to be on the safe side, you can go to those beggars who are begging on the street; I can go to the police station. But be prepared to be slaughtered, you know the current situation..."

"Of course it's an urgent relationship with the fish, it's dead!"

Myna jumped up excitedly, but said without confidence: "But I don't have any money..."

"Speaking so loudly without money."

The charterer shook his head and sneered, "Hey, boy, I remember you. I will ask my wife to collect the rent from you when the day comes."

"Come on, who's afraid of you!"

The starling stretched out his biceps, which are even more toned than a bodybuilder, "Inhumane, it's a shameless act!"

"Let's go, what are you talking about?"

In order to reduce the eye-catching effect, Song Ci put away the whisk, which tasted like salted fish, and went on the road with only the second king on his back, "I just found out a good place, even if you can't find the prince, you can meet many beggars. "

"Paramount?"

The starling who got off the rickshaw looked up at the building that he saw as no different from the Pigpen Walled City, "The prince lives in this kind of place? Will Xiaomei be in it?"

"Otherwise, just shout and try."

Song Ci looked around and found the beggars who had been driven away by Filipino security guards in an alley at the corner of the street. "Let's go over there first to inquire..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the starling with a rough voice, "Xiaomei!! Where are you? I'm my starling. Answer quickly!!"

Under the interference of his noise, not only the bulbs of the street lamps were broken, but also the forehead of the little Taoist priest covered with black lines, "Brother, I was just joking, you can't even hear this, can you?"

At the same time, the inspector, who received a strict order from his superiors to protect the lives and property of the Paramount guests, immediately pulled out his baton and rushed over aggressively, "No noise is allowed in public places!"

"Don't run away!"

Song Ci jumped over the rickshaw driver who couldn't dodge and the lady who kept yelling and scolding the little red guy, and slipped into the small old dark alley full of sundries.

She thought she was fast enough, but she didn't expect to see the refreshed troublemaker as soon as she looked up.

Holding two bottles of soda in his hand, the starling said with a smile: "I suddenly felt a little thirsty halfway, here, let me buy you a drink."

"Brother, right? Do you mind if I ask you a little more?"

Song Ci shook the soda bottle, feeling that the weight was not enough to cause death, and continued: "If, I mean, if you can't find Xiaomei, do you plan to follow me for the rest of your life?"

"Of course!"

Mynah unscrewed the cork and poured the soda with pure natural flavor all over his head and face, "How can a man be dishonest!"

The little Taoist priest who had already decided to regard compassion as his life motto whispered silently: "Brother, is it not enough for you to drink only one bottle of soda for such a big man?"

She said that she was about to wave the bottle to try to do something wrong, but she didn't succeed in pulling it a few times.

Song Ci turned around, and suddenly found an old beggar in ragged clothes and unkempt hair hidden behind the cardboard box, sucking the mouth of the bottle.

"Ah, it's been a long time since I had such a delicious free drink."

The old beggar wiped the water stains that had slipped down his chin, and sighed comfortably: "Little brother, for the sake of buying me a soda, I'll sell you this peerless secret book at a cheap price of ten yuan!"

Song Ci took a close look at the four large characters on the cover, "Sunflower Collection? Are you here to tease me?"

"It's all for you to see, it really is a rare talent in a hundred years!"

The old beggar tore off the covers of the booklets one after another, and performed an alternative version of the face-changing stunt, "I don't like the Sunflower Canon, but what about the Nine Yin Scriptures and the One Yang Finger? Or the Dugu Nine Swords? Not satisfied, do I have to sacrifice the ultimate magic weapon, the Tathagata?" God's palm?!"

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you."

Song Ci quickly took out ten yuan and stuffed it into his hand, "Excuse me, have any of the little brothers nearby heard of a girl named Xiaomei?"

The old beggar's face changed when he heard the words, and he said angrily: "I kindly gave you a fortune, do you think I'm a beggar?"

Song Ci understood it in seconds, and respectfully took over the hodgepodge of martial arts cheats and handed over ten yuan again, "Thank you for your trouble."

Only then did the old beggar show a smile, he pulled out a bamboo branch stuck in the ground and knocked on the wall, "Someone bought the news."

Not long after, the inspector, who still had a ferocious face when we first met, ran in with his head bowed, "I don't know what your orders are?"

The old beggar who collects money and does nothing is described as lazily laying down on the cardboard box bedding, closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep, and said, "Ask them."

The impatient starling couldn't hold back his words, and said a lot, "Xiaomei, you can tell she's beautiful just by the name, only the blind will miss it!"

"Hearing what you said, I'm a bit impressed."

The inspector carefully recalled: "A few days ago, it was rumored that the third head of the Ax Gang and the driver of the Crocodile Gang were fighting over a beautiful girl who looked like a fairy, but that girl must be a little careless. Let the boss not follow the driver..."

"That must be Xiaomei!"

The starling said angrily: "I didn't expect that she would refuse to change wherever she went! Tell me, the one who hooked up with Xiaomei is called a prince?"

"Returning the prince is not a fairy tale. There are people so stupid who would die for a name!"

The inspector laughed for a long time before taking a breath, "That lucky driver is not as handsome as you, but he has a good skill. I heard that he made a lot of money for the boss of the crocodile gang, and he has a high status in the gang. , otherwise you won’t be able to keep the beauty around you. By the way, his name is somewhat similar to that of a prince. I vaguely remember that it’s called Wang Ping..."

"Wang Ping?"

It wasn't until this moment that the drowsy Song Ci cheered up a bit, "Sir, is the Wang Ping you're talking about the one in his early thirties with an unremarkable appearance?"

She hadn't met the gamer in Jiangnan before, she thought she would never see each other again with the mutual aid team, but unexpectedly she did.

"Yes, it's him."

The originally casual inspector looked at the two strange men, "You know him? That would be much easier."

He took out a note from his pocket, and wrote an address on the back, "This is the territory of foreigners, and no one would dare to make trouble. You will know when you go over and ask."

"Concession?"

Song Ci thanked the inspector, and once again set his eyes on the maverick starling, "Are you really not going to change a suit?"

"Why are you always obsessed with such trivial matters!"

The starling pointed out, "The old man is even more sloppy than me, so he still has a younger brother to serve him! Hey, what about him, he was here just now!"

Song Ci touched the cardboard box that was still warm, and couldn't help but feel shocked, "Come and go without a trace, could it be that the old beggar is really a hidden master..."

She subconsciously looked at the watch, and the frame of the countdown showed a bright orange color that had not been seen for a long time with the ups and downs of the subject's heartbeat, which was really dazzling at first glance.

Even though the cheat book in his hand was still tattered and tattered, Song Ci didn't dare to throw it away as garbage. Instead, he solemnly found a plastic bag and put it in the watch.

After returning to the Pig Cage Walled City, Song Ci brought the reluctant starling to Daguan Taifu, "Boss, please measure him for a suit...skirt that fits."

"It's trivial."

Holding a tape measure, the tailor greeted him very warmly, "This guest, stand still and don't move. Let me measure your shoulder width and bust first."

"What are you doing?"

Starling hides behind the screen but doesn’t show his face, “I’m not used to being touched when I make clothes, just check with your eyes!”

"Visual guess?"

The tailor smiled shyly, "This is more difficult, and it won't work if you don't have basic skills."

He drew two pink lines on the chopping board, "I think your figure is pretty good, and your butt is upturned. If you wear a skirt, I'm afraid it can't fully show your beauty. Let me make the decision and design a pair of trendy pants for you, okay?" good?"

"Can't!"

Starling, who insisted on carrying forward his personal style to the extreme, sternly refused: "I still have things to do, and I don't have time to wait for you to dawdle there. Just find a piece of fabric and wrap me up!"

"Then how can it work? If you say it, you will smash the signboard."

The tailor observed for a while, and finally found a finished product from the treasure at the bottom of the press box, "I made this dress for the charterer when I first moved here, but unfortunately she only likes to wear flowing gauze pajamas. Why don't you just wear it?" Give it to you."

Song Ci, who was waiting quietly, almost laughed when she saw this, because she really couldn't imagine what a sturdy charter woman would look like in a tutu skirt, "Mynah, I think it's not bad, why don't you try it first?"

"Yes, and you."

The tailor miraculously conjured up a white suit with excellent texture, and said with great anticipation: "I think you will look very good after wearing it!"

Half an hour later, a young man dressed in the style of returnees and his female companion wearing a sun hat rang the doorbell of the Wang Mansion on Sinan Road.

The doorkeeper looked suspiciously at the stranger, "Who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?"

Song Ci, who had changed his face again, took out a handwritten business card and said with a smile, "Please help me tell Mr. Wang that an old friend is visiting, please take the time to see me."
