Chapter 160 Boat lights on the starry river
"I have money!"
Three words, a life-saving method!
"How many?"
Chen Banxian's movements were slightly slower. In these few seconds, Lao Huang's arm bones were almost completely broken.
Can he still survive if his Tianling Gai is pinched?
Lao Huang grimaced in pain. He was also a ruthless man and struggled to tell a number.
"Two thousand, I have two thousand black coins!"
Two thousand black coins, all his previous net worth plus the purchase of a house, he only got one thousand black coins, and then he saved nearly one thousand more through more than a month of hard work.
Two thousand, this number is not a small one.
Chen Banxian was quite surprised by him. Converted into Daxia coins, this was two million.
He let go of Lao Huang's shabby hand and said, "Give me the money."
Lao Huang murmured, and with difficulty took out a metal card from his arms.
The card is half similar to Liangcheng's contribution point card, but it has many more lines and patterns on it, which greatly improves its aesthetics.
When Chen Banxian came into contact, a number of 2000 was displayed on it.
It’s really 2,000, not even a lot.
"Brother, today I, Lao Huang, bumped into you because I didn't know how to do it. Please forgive Lao Huang this time. From now on, I, the little old man, will walk around you."
Lao Huang begged, without any of the toughness he had just now, not daring to threaten him in the slightest.
"You are so skilled. It seems that you have already prepared for today."
Chen Banxian was in a better mood and asked Lao Huang again: "Sure, I'll let you go today. Be kind and kind in the future. Just tell me how to get to the North 14th District and then you can get out."
"Brother, it's actually easy to find the districts in Baihu City. You just need to open the compass and walk around the city to the north. The entrance to each district is sorted and numbered."
Lao Huang was uneasy and quickly finished his words with his head lowered, fearing that Chen Banxian would regret it and slap him to death.
"Brother?"
Lao Huang didn't get a response, so he raised his head and glanced tremblingly.
There was nothing, and the cloaked man had already run no matter how far he ran.
Chen Banxian moved quickly around Baihu City. In his sight, large or small clouds of white mist enveloped the various traffic arteries entering the city.
There are as many doors as there are avenues.
He counted, because East District 3 is very close to the north, he quickly saw the words North 24, North 23 and so on.
Some areas have many people coming in and out, and some areas have fewer people coming in and out.
With the natural barrier of white mist, regardless of what happens in the future, it is already the strongest defensive site at this stage.
Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years.
No matter how rare the world is, there are still dragons and phoenixes. Chen Banxian secretly warned that he had better not be too arrogant.
Being ahead for a moment does not mean leading all the time. He couldn't understand Shen Qinghe at all.
At least he couldn't move the white mist into the building world.
In some places, the white mist shrouded the docks and the rivers flowing into Baihu City.
North 14th District has arrived. This is one of the places where the river is the main channel and the bridge is the link to the outside.
North 14th District.
Before he could get closer, he saw lights dotted along the river, and one after another origami boats carrying burning branches, matches, or candles floated slowly in the river.
Keep running into the distance. Maybe some paper boats will be extinguished soon, but there will always be paper boats shining brightly and keeping moving forward.
Some fish are attracted by the firelight at night, rolling in the water, and splashing in the water from time to time.
Many people would come to the river to put down a paper boat from time to time, and then return to the gate of North 14th District.
When he got closer, he saw that there were many small boats not made of paper, but also made of woven leaves. They were rickety and about the size of a palm.
What are they doing?
Out of curiosity, Chen Banxian asked a woman who put in a paper boat.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
The woman clasped her hands and closed her eyes to pray to the paper boat. After she finished praying, she looked at Chen Banxian:
"You are new here, right?"
"Yes, yes." Chen Banxian pointed to the small boat she put on. It was made of a few leaves and was made with ingenuity. There was a small flame with a little resin on it.
It won't burn for long, but the light is not weak.
"This is a tribute to a great hero."
The woman's eyes showed gratitude: "We are able to get here because he sacrificed for us behind."
he?
Chen Banxian's heart moved, as if he thought of something.
As if they were talking about that great man, the woman endured the exhaustion after a day's work and explained to Chen Banxian.
"He faced the enemy who invaded us alone. He was not afraid of death and had the people in his heart. In the end, he detonated a hydrogen bomb and died together with the enemy.
It's because of him that we got here safely, he is the savior of us all! "
The woman was even willing to tell Chen Banxian's deeds to the cloaked man in front of her. After a while, her eyes flashed:
“Although he died, we will always remember him, and the purpose of releasing the boat is to allow his soul to find its way home.
Tell him - we are here and this will be our home from now on. "
Each small boat carries their best wishes to pay tribute to the deceased hero.
Looking around, there are dots of light on the water, like the stars on the ground, swaying and jumping.
"Whenever we have time, we will come and put up the boat lights. Isn't it beautiful?"
The woman stood up and left: "No more chatting. You will learn more about his deeds after entering our North 14th District."
Her eyes were sincere: "I believe that after you understand what kind of person he is, you will also come here to put out boat lanterns for him."
As the woman finished speaking, Chen Banxian gently opened his cloak and looked at the small boats in the dark night.
The sparks of fire gathered into a river, and the curling threads were actually moving closer to him.
He touched the river of fire lightly with his hand, and suddenly heard some vague sounds in his ears.
"Go home, go home..."
"We are finally settled, please come back soon."
"This is our home, and it is also your home."
“The moon in the sea sheds tears, and the warm sun in Lantian produces smoke.
This feeling can be recalled later, but it was already at a loss. "
Praying loudly, as silk as bamboo, Chen Banxian withdrew his fingers and smiled bitterly at the burning faith above his head.
"We are getting closer and closer to the way of heaven."
Then he stopped looking at these things, fearing that one day he wouldn't be able to bear it anymore.
Then he came to the entrance.
Some people here hold white cards, some hold gray cards, and most people hold gray cards.
Chen Banxian demonstrated on the spot that he was a transcendent in the flesh system, and paid one hundred black coins to become a distinguished blue card owner.
It seems simple, but it is actually very difficult.
The white card requires a residence in Liangcheng, which is a huge black currency asset.
In comparison, the blue card is easier because it gives preferential treatment to extraordinary people.
As for green cards, they will not be issued here at all. It is very troublesome. They need to pass an assessment, make a certain contribution, and then have to sign and agree with the senior management of District 14.
Entering the fog gate, North 14th District has finally arrived.
Unlike what he imagined, there was no so-called World Tower built here, but a huge empty city.
District 14 is not a small area, but Liangcheng does not have a large population, so the elevator is omitted and a city wall structure is built instead.
It is divided into core city, inner city, cool city, and outer city.
The core city is populated by dignitaries, leaders of Liangcheng, etc.
The people living in the inner city are extraordinary people and their family members and relatives.
Liangcheng is the outer layer of the aboriginal people, a city to commemorate them.
The outer city is the trading place for all gray card holders.
Not everyone can enter Area 14.
The number of places is limited, and the city is only that big in total. Almost all nearby cities have fled here.
Therefore, North 14th District is not the residence of Liangcheng people. Instead, it is their descendants who occupy the living space of the former residents.
The green card is just for not being evicted at night in District 14.
The thick city wall was like a giant cartoon he had watched before, blocking the direct connection between cities and creating a strict hierarchy.
They have equipment to detect and identify passes. As long as you pass in front of you, the light will be green if there is a card, and the light will be red if there is no card.
It's so convenient that it's almost starting a technological renaissance.
Holding the blue card in hand, Chen Banxian felt like he was like the river water, finally finding his home.
Let’s settle first.
It was late at night, and people had finished get off work, so he casually found a bench on the street to sit down and take a nap.
"Hey, this is my place."
However, uninvited guests soon arrived. Chen Banxian frowned: "Friend, everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis, right? Does this stool have your name written on it?"
The man pointed to the armrest of the stool and said, "Look if there are three characters "Lu Fuxing" on it. That's my name."
Chen Banxian took a closer look and saw that he actually wrote these three words.
"You're awesome."
He gave a thumbs up and moved to another stool.
"Who is that? This is my stool. Write your name on it!"
Another person arrived, and Chen Banxian's face turned dark when he found that there were no empty stools left for him in Liangcheng District.
"Woo"
Banjiao yawned, she could be big or small, she had already slept on her shoulder for several times.
"Let's go to the inner city."
Chen Banxian didn't believe that there were still people competing with him in the inner city.
Once we arrived in the inner city, things were immediately different.
Everything is in order, the streets are neat and clean, and everyone talks and meets in a friendly manner.
There were many chairs everywhere, so he found a clean and sheltered stool to sit down on, planning to make do with it for the night.
The first person who passed by looked at him for a few times, shook his head and left.
The second passerby also took a look, shook his head and left.
Next, is the third, fourth, fifth...
"Don't you guys sleep at night?"
Chen Banxian couldn't stand the gaze and went a little crazy.
His poor inferiority complex is at work. He wants to buy a building immediately and tell everyone that I am a rich man, I am very rich, and I am an extraordinary person. Please don't look down on me!
However, it was useless. When everyone saw him, they would still stop and look carefully, as if they were identifying something.
Can you tell if he is a monkey?
Chen Banxian simply pulled down his hat and pulled the sword spirit out of its scabbard. This was the sword he had picked up. It was just the right size to seal his internal organs.
"Bitch, you finally let me out? Do you know how uncomfortable it is for me to hold back? Grandpa this morning... eh? It's evening? Grandpa will fight with you tonight!"
Chen Banxian turned a deaf ear and pretended to sleep.
It's much more comfortable to have a companion to help him attract firepower. One person may be intimidated, but two people will have a wonderful chemical reaction.
