C1047 Slums
Jin Gu and the others left, it could be considered fate, in the few days that they were together, Bai Xiaobei didn't mind helping them.
Half of the caravan was dead, the guards and servants were not in high spirits, they cleaned up the corpses and prepared to leave.
Bai Xiaobei flicked his finger, and a beam of fire shot up into the sky. All of the guards stared blankly at the world that had turned into a sea of fire.
Everything had been turned into ashes. This was a true heavenly fire!
The temperature of the Thunder Rain Empire was extremely low, and the people here had extremely high resistance to the cold. Thunder rumbled in the sky, and there were even places with rain and snow; it was truly a strange place.
"Sir, Thunder Rain Empire is up ahead."
After Jamukha saw the gigantic walls of the Thunder Rain Empire, he let out a long sigh of relief. Luckily he had luck had met with Bai Xiaobei this time, otherwise, if they had really been captured, their Zamu Family would have definitely gotten worse.
The bandits were actually from the Black Flag Army, no wonder no one had surrounded and exterminated them!
He was worried about the Black Flag Army getting the news this time. They had a good reputation, but they actually did this sort of thing behind their backs.
Hearing that, Bai Xiaobei looked up and exclaimed: "This city wall is really high!"
It was hard to tell how much manpower and resources were expended on this city wall that was over ten meters tall. It was simply inconceivable.
"This is the outer city wall, and inside the inner city wall. The Thunder Rain Empire outer city are all normal people, if you want to enter the inner city, you need to at least have money."
Jamukha's words stunned Bai Xiaobei for a moment. Wasn't this just a typical urban area?
However, he also understood that it was definitely not as simple as he thought.
There were too many caravans here, going in and out, the guards all expressionlessly inspecting the place. Bai Xiaobei scanned the place with his divine sense, and completely did not spend any money to do so.
It seemed that the laws of Thunder Rain Empire were very strict.
Jamukha handed over a silver plate and a few guards along with a few snow wolves circled around the caravan. Soon enough, all the snow wolves were attracted by the smell of blood and they growled.
Jamukha communicated with the guards in a low voice, and after the guards went over to check for a while, they nodded and allowed them to enter.
"So strict?" The sense of smell of these Snow Wolves was very scary. In fact, one of them even circled around him once. However, after taking a glance at him, it immediately ran away with its tail between its legs.
"There's nothing we can do. Although the outer city is in chaos, the people coming in and out of the city are extremely strict."
Entering the city, Bai Xiaobei smelled a fishy smell.
"The Thunder Rain Empire is close to the sea?" Bai Xiaobei saw that a large number of stalls were filled with seafood. There were all kinds of messy seafood of all kinds, with residents of all kinds, hawkers, fishermen, adults and children everywhere.
"Right, we are facing the North Sea to the north, with most of our Thunder Rain Empire being dependent on the sea, so our Thunder Rain Empire is relatively richer, as the sea is rich with resources. We also do some business in the sea."
Jamukha immediately replied: Master, I wonder if it is possible to visit Zamu Family?
An exalted Immortal, with such a powerful strength, if he could help the Zamu Family a little, then the problems that the Zamu Family would encounter would be easily solved.
Unfortunately, Bai Xiaobei didn't even have this thought, hiding amongst the ordinary people was the safest.
He was captured by the Thousand Ash Monk and yet he didn't cry?
Jamukha was disappointed for a moment, and could only say: "If Master is going to the inner city, you must go and visit my Zamu Family, because my Zamu Family must properly entertain Master."
"Alright, let's go!"
Bai Xiaobei nodded, and followed the crowd and disappeared into the crowd.
The clothes of the people here were a mess, so Bai Xiaobei didn't feel anything unusual about them.
The so-called outer city was like a slum the further one went. The houses that one lived in were all very simple and crude, and it was a torture to live in such a place that was close to the ground below zero.
A large man was selling fish, and a few children were helping to kill the fish. The dirty ones were all smiling.
Being able to adapt to life here was already enough to make them very satisfied.
"Brother, are you selling fish? "It's fresh. One small coin for two."
Noticing that Bai Xiaobei was staring intently at them, one of the little boy hurriedly asked.
"No, thank you." Bai Xiaobei shook his head. One small money and two big fish? One gold coin, wouldn't that mean he would need millions of big fish? Based on his calculations, he instantly understood the purchasing ability of money.
Hearing that Bai Xiaobei was not selling, the little boy grinned and continued to grab and kill fish in the ice water.
A Little Girl sneakily ran over. A few children quickly gathered together and blocked the Little Girl's path. Little Girl probably woke up late and looked around in fear.
The big man threw a few coins over and said, "You don't need to come."
The little girl's face was pale and the children were too scared to say anything. The little boy who had just sold his fish hesitated and said, "Boss, Xiaohua's family is far away and we still have to take care of her mother. Can we let her stay?"
"Scram, no matter how long-winded you are!" The big guy scolded him, "Get lost! It's only because you're pitiful that you're forced to work here. If you don't feel grateful, then forget it. Why are you still here, get lost!"
The little girl stammered, unable to speak. In the end, she picked up a few coins and hesitantly didn't want to leave.
Bai Xiaobei felt this was strange, the people around him all felt that it was normal and did not even look at him.
"Don't stand here, get lost!" The big man was very rough, and the little girl was so scared that she quickly stood back, not daring to speak up for her.
Bai Xiaobei shook his head and ignored his. The little girl was younger than him when he first met his, and he was probably only seven or eight years old.
This place was obviously a cruel place to live.
He walked around and saw many strange things, but they were all meaningless. The dining area outside the city was too backward and was dirty to the point where he had no appetite, even though he did not need to eat.
When he was about to enter the city, he saw that the little girl who had been chased away was being chased out of a pharmacy.
"I gave you money …"
"Didn't you give us less money last time?" It's just in time. Scram! " The shop assistant, who had just walked out, kicked him again, causing him to tumble to the ground.
"You didn't give me the medicine." The little girl stubbornly hugged the shop assistant's leg and said, "I gave you money last time."
"You want to die, don't you? "If I said I didn't give it to you, then I didn't give it to you. If a sick ghost dies, then so be it. What kind of medicine are you taking?" The shop assistant grabbed the little girl's hair and threw her out.
Bai Xiaobei could not watch any longer, he waved his hand and helped the little girl up.
"What the fuck kind of society is this?" Bai Xiaobei retorted. Along the way, he had met with many bullying cases, and it seemed that the position of the woman was not high here. The position of the man was still better.
When the little girl saw Bai Xiaobei, she quickly retracted her hand.
"Customer, do you want to buy medicine?" The face of the shop assistant instantly changed and he smiled.
"Why didn't she give it when she paid?" Bai Xiaobei looked at the little girl, then at the shop assistant whose expression changed extremely quickly.
"Her mother secretly went out to sea and was discovered and thrown into the sea. She even came back alive. She was an ominous person to begin with, so if she dies and falls, wouldn't it be a waste for her to eat medicine?"
The shop assistant disapproved.
"Why is it an ominous person? Just because he doesn't die? "
Bai Xiaobei was stunned hearing this, what did this mean?
"Women are not allowed to enter the sea, otherwise there will be a storm. This is the rule, her mother secretly went out to sea, she sacrificed the sea and then ran back, naturally she is an ominous person. Guest, stay far away, this little girl is also not a good person."
The servant's words made Bai Xiaobei understand, it was just that the woman could not go out to sea, so he had to be thrown into the ocean as sacrifice? It was a terrible custom.
"Give it to her."
Bai Xiaobei looked at the shop assistant and said, "She paid."
"He ate the waves …"
"Don't let me say it a second time."
Bai Xiaobei also didn't have to be too fussy about it, he only felt that it was unpleasing to the eye. He felt that the moment he stepped into the Nascent Infant Stage, he probably wouldn't be willing to bother with such things.
Therefore, he felt that if he could do these things, he would do it.
The shop assistant felt that Bai Xiaobei was not easy to mess with and quickly ran back into the shop. He quickly took out a medicine bag and threw it to the little girl, then went back into the shop without looking back.
"Thank you milord, thank you milord."
The little girl hugged the medicine and thanked him profusely before hurriedly running into an alley and disappearing.
"Poor era." Bai Xiaobei sighed as he turned to leave.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaobei turned around, and looked dumbstruck at the shop assistant who just disappeared into the alley with a pole in his hand, his face twitching slightly.
In a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
The little girl ran very fast. Without even looking back, she arrived at a shed that was wrapped in beast skins. In a hurry, she crawled into it.
Bai Xiaobei's consciousness sensed that there was a woman with weak aura inside.
Soon, the little girl ran out with a jar in her arms. Just as she was about to boil the medicine, she saw a shop assistant with a stick not too far away.
"F * ck, what the hell is this thing!"
The shop assistant cursed. The little girl had retreated to the corner of the room with the medicine in her arms, her whole body trembling.
Bai Xiaobei originally thought that this shop assistant was only here to snatch the medicine, and very quickly discovered that it wasn't, he raised the rod and smashed it towards the little girl.
The little girl didn't feel the pain she had expected. She only saw a flash of fiery light before she witnessed an astonishing scene.
The lackey turned into a fiery light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, she saw the man dressed in green who had helped her.
"Is he trying to kill you?" Bai Xiaobei squatted down and looked at the little girl.
"Yes, yes …" The little girl's eyes reddened. No one had ever dared to help her. In the slums of the outer city, girls were a burden. Some were thrown away when they were born because they couldn't go out to sea.
Even if he died, it would be a waste. As long as he was not met by those guards who turned a blind eye, he would not pursue the matter.
"Here, eat this. Give this one to your mother. Just eat your body."
Bai Xiaobei took out two Spirit Fruits and handed them over to the little girl. Spirit Fruits were the lowest kind, the little guy despised them, but only Xiao Hui liked to eat them.
"Take it. Just eat your body."
Bai Xiaobei saw that the little girl seemed to be in a daze and reminded his again.
