Chapter 418 Digging for Treasure(1/2)
Author: Lone Wing
at night.
Lin Qianxing made a simple mask with a piece of cloth and went to the remote public toilet.
Then based on my memory, I came to the treasure place shown in the [Book of Questioning Heaven].
Lin Qianxing took out the small hoe he had prepared earlier and quickly dug up the soil.
Without digging too deep, he found a small wooden box.
Taking it out and opening it, there were two gold bars and some broken silver inside.
The gold and silver in this world seemed a little different in Lin Qianxing's memory from his predecessor.
It seems to have some special value.
Such as warding off evil spirits, refining weapons, and even swallowing.
Gold and silver utensils can keep evil spirits away.
Swallowing gold and silver can help you live longer and strengthen your body.
It is said that some warriors in the inner city specialize in swallowing gold and silver to practice martial arts.
Lin Qianxing collected the gold and silver, backfilled it with soil, and left.
The smell here really made him feel a little uncomfortable.
On the way back to his residence, a skinny child glanced at him.
The other party seemed to be curious about what Lin Qianxing had done, but in the end he didn't dare to come up and ask.
In my previous life, I was withdrawn and very strict in doing things to protect myself.
Although he is only fourteen years old, his hands are stained with a lot of blood.
Although those people should all die.
As for why no one cares?
This is the outer city area!
There are more than 30,000 people in Nongshan City, and the outer city accounts for more than four-fifths.
Human life here is worthless.
The order is also the most chaotic.
Each region is responsible for each region's managers.
These managers are appointed by the adults in the inner city.
They all have some gangs under them, and they have practiced martial arts and have weapons.
The way the managers of these gangs manage ordinary people is that as long as you pay your "living expenses" on time, it doesn't matter what happens.
The death of one or two people is a trivial matter.
Just give them some money and send them away.
As managers, they consider themselves superior to others and do not want to deal with rats in the gutter.
One thing to mention here is that the so-called "living expenses" are the expenses for survival.
As long as you live, you must pay.
The cost is not much, just three days of food for an ordinary person per month.
But if you don't work and earn the money, you will be kicked out of the city.
What are the consequences of being kicked out of town?
There are eating fog everywhere outside the city.
There are countless strange beasts living in it.
Under normal circumstances, even martial arts masters may not be able to survive in it.
These are common sense in the memory of the predecessor.
What makes Lin Qianxing feel very strange is that people in outer cities usually have very heavy work.
They always have endless amounts of cargo to unload and endless chores to do every day.
And many things actually don't make sense.
For example, Lin Qianxing saw a worker carrying stones that could have been pushed by cart back and forth to several places in one day.
And the most interesting thing is that the stones were back to their original places the next day.
By the way, the bitter rice eaten by city people is also very strange.
This thing is slightly bitter, but it grows quickly.
It only takes one month from planting to maturity, and the yield is not low. It can grow well without fertilizing or anything else. It only needs to be spread on the ground, so city people are never short of food.
It is also worth mentioning that the matter of sowing rice has never been handled by people from the outer city. It seems that it is for the people in the inner city to control the lifeline of food?
When Lin Qianxing first accepted the memory of his predecessor, he thought it was common sense and didn't notice anything wrong.
But now that I think about it, this world seems to be full of weirdness.
After returning to his residence, Lin Qianxing tried to practice Buddhism.
The method of beating the body is naturally useful, but the results are slow. Lin Qianxing might as well take a knife and rub it on his neck to be reborn faster.
Then there is the vitality of heaven and earth.
Lin Qianxing could not feel the existence of any vitality of heaven and earth at all.
In fact, there is no energy from heaven and earth.
No, it's not none.
It's because he can't sense it.
In this way, time came to the next day.
Lin Qianxing went out to do some shopping.
In a shop in the outer city, Lin Qianxing bought some food, and then planned to look for books and other things that he could study with.
But unexpectedly, Lin Qianxing could not find a place to sell books.
After asking, I found out that people from outside the city had no need to learn to read.
In other words, their upward channel is very narrow.
Either join a gang, become a manager, work your way up, and one day enter the inner city.
Either you get the attention of your superiors, get promoted, and maybe have the opportunity to come into contact with writing or something like that.
Other than that, there is basically no need to learn writing.
They only need to work from morning to night to get enough food to satisfy their hunger.
Lin Qianxing looked at those people with numb faces and no light in their eyes. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why.
After all, if you really want to say it, if you work hard, you can have enough to eat. In a feudal society, it seems to be a bit prosperous?
But judging from the grain that is harvested every month, it stands to reason that productivity should have been liberated long ago, so why are people still living like this?
Lin Qianxing really couldn't understand these questions.
After making some inquiries, he took out some scraps of silver and finally got information such as books.
There is a man named Han Shouliang in Dongsan Alley in the outer city.
He was driven out by people from the inner city, and he usually taught those gang members how to read.
Lin Qianxing searched for the road and soon found Han Shouliang's house.
After knocking on the door, a pretty young girl about fourteen or fifteen years old opened the door.
"Girl, you're polite, I'm looking for Mr. Han." Lin Qianxing said.
The little girl was slightly shocked when she heard Lin Qianxing's words. It seemed that she had never seen such polite gang members.
But she still said: "Wait a moment, I will report it right away."
Then the little girl quickly turned around and entered.
After a while, the little girl ran out, looking a little breathless and said: "Mr. Han is waiting in the backyard, just go over."
"Sorry for bothering you, girl. This is just a small thought. I hope you don't mind." Lin Qianxing handed out a silver bean to the little girl and said.
The little girl held the silver beans and looked at Lin Qianxing in surprise. She seemed a little confused, but she finally accepted it.
Lin Qianxing stepped inside and took a look at the decoration.
Compared to other people from outside the city, Han Shouliang obviously loves life more.
There are carefully planted flowers and various exquisite furniture and furnishings.
