Chapter 322 The Human World
On the bank of Yunwu Lake, there is a vast green forest.
"Brother, where is the cloud black market? You don't know the way, do you?"
Little Guizai watched his senior brother adopt the technique of flying clouds and riding fog, and plunged headlong into the vast green forest to search around. No matter how simple-minded he was, he knew that he might have been fooled.
Brother Smelly didn't take him out to play at all, he was clearly out to run an errand.
"Senior brother certainly knows the way, but we still have to look for it. After all, we are new here and don't know anything about the local area."
Chu Chen laughed.
He really didn't know where there was a cloud black market.
The cloud black market is similar to a market, it is not opened for a long time, but opened in time periods.
It is not a single one, but a large number, densely distributed on the bank of Yunwu Lake.
Among the nightmares of the people in Yunlin, some people had very real and clear dreams, pointing out the specific location of the Yunwu black market.
Right now, Chu Chen roughly knew about a dozen strongholds of the Yunwu black market, large and small.
The Yunwu black market stronghold has a characteristic, that is, it is adjacent to the Yunwu Lake.
The mist drifts away from Yunwu Lake all day long, drifting to the surroundings, and converging with the perennial clouds and mist in the mountains. As a result, the surrounding area of Yunwu Lake is cloudy and foggy all the year round, making it extremely shaded and suitable for some dark activities.
With his escaping technique and foot strength, it doesn't take much trouble to walk around a dozen strongholds.
In less than half an hour, he left three strongholds.
Not long after, he came to the fourth stronghold.
Chu Chen pinched the summoning formula with his hands, and sent out the soldiers and horses under his command to search around.
This time, good news soon came from the soldiers under his command—several groups of people were found in the mountains.
Chu Chen was overjoyed and found a place.
Ordinary people would enter the mountain in groups if they had nothing to do. Obviously, he had to find a place to find it.
Chu Chen immediately took over his soldiers and horses, turned the seal head of [Renxin Yinling Wanshengbao] into a hale and hearty old man wearing a hatchet, cast the spell [Borrowing Steps], and his body was dressed like a ghost. Lin passed.
Soon, he "ran into" three people on the road.
An old man, a middle-aged man, and a young man.
At first, the three of them were quite wary of Chu Chen, thinking that they had bumped into something dirty like a ghost or ghost.
However, after Chu Chen said that "he encountered a hurdle that he couldn't get past, and his family was in urgent need of money, and there was nothing he could do in such a hurry", the three of them relaxed their vigilance a little, and gave him a "sympathetic" look.
"Oh, everyone is a miserable person!"
Among the three, the old man in Qianshou couldn't help sighing.
In this way, Chu Chen managed to sneak in among the people who were going to the market, and entered the Yunwu Ghost Market with them.
"Brother, what has happened to you?"
A group of people were walking on the mountain path, Chu Chen took the initiative to ask the old man in Qianshou.
The old man in Qianshou sighed and said:
"My eldest son just married a wife the year before last. Not only did he spend all his family savings, but he also owed a lot of money to his relatives and friends. This year, my younger son also fell in love with a girl. He cried and asked his family to match him. "
"Old man, I can't favor one person over another. Naturally, I want a bowl of water to be leveled, so I gritted my teeth and responded."
"What should I do if I don't have any money? Old man, I can only go outside to borrow money. It was originally agreed that nine out of ten and thirteen will return. The time limit is one year, and the principal and interest will be paid off at one time. The old man thinks that this year will be a little harder, and he should be able to pay it back if he tightens his belt. But, who knows, the other party is cunning, fooling the old man that I am illiterate, borrowing Lei Gong Bang, in just three months, the old man owes them a full 300 taels."
Lei Gong Hong is another name for "loan usury" by the common people. Because they hate the lenders, the common people begged Lei Gong to kill him with a thunderbolt, and they were condemned by God.
After the old man in Qianshou told his story, his face was full of anger, aggrieved and helpless sorrow.
"Ah~"
The middle-aged men and young people on the side also sighed.
Both are fallen people in the world, and the hearts of these two people are also full of desire to confide.
Before Chu Chen could inquire, the two of them talked about their experiences one after another.
Middle-aged people also farm for a living, but their lives are relatively prosperous. The family has [-] acres of land and is one of the richest households in the village. Not to mention how good their life is, but they have enough food and clothing, and they have enough money to send their son to a private school. The family had a good time.
But the good times didn't last long.
Some time ago, the middle-aged man accidentally met a group of cronies and friends, and brought him into the gambling house.
He knew that gambling was not a good thing, and he couldn't get involved, but he couldn't stand the invitation of his friends, so he went to play a few games.
What happened, I won money.
This made the middle-aged man find fun, and couldn't help but play for a while longer.
After playing this game, he immediately fell into it, lost everything, and went home in despair.
Originally, his family was rich, so it was okay to lose once or twice, but after losing, he was unwilling and wanted to get back his capital.
So he entered the casino again.
Gradually, sink into it.
As a result, needless to say, in just half a month, the middle-aged man mortgaged all the land and house in his family, and the family business was ruined, not to mention the foreign debt.
Right now, the middle-aged man's family members don't know about it, and the matter hasn't been revealed yet, so he dares not tell his family members, for fear that their family members will collapse and despair if they find out.
It's just that sooner or later the matter will be revealed, and the debt collectors will come to take away the property soon.
He still wanted to give it a go and win back everything he lost, but it was a pity that he had no capital and was powerless to recover.
Just when he was panicking, someone told him that the cloud and fog black market could bring him hope.
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the young man quickly talked about his own experience.
The young man's experience is relatively simple. He is a scholar, and he went to Goulan to listen to music with his classmates and friends. He fell in love with a woman from a brothel at first sight and fell in love with her.
Unexpectedly, that brothel girl seemed to treat him differently.
Young people are naturally very happy to be favored by their sweetheart.
However, his family background is ordinary, and he has exhausted all his efforts at home to support his studies, so there is no money left for him to squander.
The brothel is a well-known gold-selling cave, young people are struggling, and they want to see their sweetheart.
Just when he was in distress, someone extended a "helping hand", saying that he was optimistic about him and thought that he had a promising future in the imperial examination, so he could lend him money.
The young man was short of money, and when he heard that there was such a "good thing", he agreed without thinking too much.
Seeing that the young man suddenly became generous in his actions, the brothel woman couldn't help but sound.
Due to their vanity, young people will naturally not tell the truth, but lie and say that they were given by their family.
Seeing that the young man's family background is good, the women in the brothel pay more and more attention to him.
With the romance between the two, the young people borrowed more and more money.
The most deadly thing was that because he lingered in brothels, he missed his homework and his studies plummeted.
Ever since, the person who lent him money before not only broke the loan for him, but also pressed him for the debt.
How could young people have the money to pay off their debts, and they dared not go back and tell their parents and family members, and they fell into despair.
At this moment, he heard about the cloud black market from his creditors, and he came to try his luck in desperation.
"Hey, sorry about that!"
The old, the middle and the young sighed in unison, their faces full of regret, anxiety and uneasiness.
Chu Chen was walking on the mountain road, and after listening to the three tell their stories, he couldn't help but fell silent.
It seems that this may be the reason why Yunlin County's national luck and people's mental power have been declining year after year.
