Chapter 179

After exchanging a few words, Guo Shier couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that this young master had taken a fancy to the clothes he was wearing and wanted to know where he bought them. This person's name was Ao Bao, which was a very strange pronunciation, but Guo Shier didn't find it strange. In the language of the small world, there were all kinds of pronunciations, and when translated, they would all be strange names.

The clothes that Ao Bao wanted, not to mention this place, even other small worlds didn't have them. This was a fine product produced by the Charm World, and many of them were enchanted with charms. Not only did they have excellent defensive effects, they also had the effect of warming in winter and cooling in summer. Guo Shier had collected a lot of them. Back then, he had swept many shops in many cities and purchased a large number of unique clothes.

According to Li Ran, if he could reach the great world, these special products of the Charm World would all be treasures. Being enchanted with charms meant that the power of the charms could be left on the clothes, and the clothes could show a variety of characteristics.

Ao Bao invited Guo Shier warmly, and he was also very curious about the people here, so he didn't refuse the invitation and followed Ao Bao to his residence. It was a small courtyard, a small building, and a few attendants. This was Ao Bao's temporary residence. His real home wasn't in Modo City. He was the son of a merchant, and this time he was delivering goods to Modo City.

Guo Shier gave him a few pieces of clothes, which made Ao Bao feel like he had received a treasure. After repeatedly thanking Guo Shier, he invited Guo Shier to go and watch a play. When Guo Shier figured out the meaning of the play, he couldn't help but be surprised. In his previous life, there were a lot of dramas, but in this life, whether it was in the Charm World or other small worlds, there was no such concept at all. He didn't expect there to be a play here.

After eating a local dinner, Ao Bao took Guo Shier out.

The two of them came to an inconspicuous alley, and Ao Bao politely invited Guo Shier into the alley. Walking along the alley, the twists and turns were about 200 meters long. Soon, they came to a door, and Ao Bao went up and knocked on the door. Guo Shi 'er murmured to himself, "It's just like a secret agent, being so mysterious." Of course, he wasn't afraid at all, as a professional, powerful force was his backing.

An old man opened the door, glanced at Ao Bao, then looked at Guo Shier, and said with a smile, "Young master Ao Bao, how come you have time to come here today?"

Ao Bao said with a smile, "I brought a friend to watch a play." As he spoke, he threw a small pouch of money to the old man. The pouch fell into the old man's hand and made a metallic sound. The old man squeezed his hand slightly and said with a smile, "Thank you, Young Master Aobao. Please, please come in!"

Guo Shier followed Ao Bao's lead. It was a large yard with flowers, plants, and rockeries. Because it was night, several oil lamps were hanging on the stone blocks on the side of the road. Guo Shi 'er's eyes were enchanted with spells, so he could see everything around him clearly.

Ao Bao said, "It is dark, the road is not easy to walk, follow me." He seemed to be very familiar with this place, and quickly led Guo Shier through the courtyard, walking deeper.

In a hall that was only about 200 square meters, there were more than a dozen short tables, which were already full of people. Ao Bao brought Guo Shier in, and immediately waved his hand to call a waiter, threw him a metal coin, and asked, "Are there any seats?"

The waiter showed a happy expression, and said in a low voice, "Young master Ao Bao, there are, there are seats, hehe, please come with me."

In the corner, there was an empty low table. This was a seat specially prepared for regular customers. Ao Bao called out, asked Guo Shier to sit down, and then said to the waiter, "Order some exquisite food, in addition, give me a portion of Modo City's most famous angel fruit."

Guo Shier sat down, quietly looking at the crowd around him.

First of all, the clothes of these people were very different from ordinary people, similar to Ao Bao, they were the kind of people who were very rich, in good spirits, and had a kind of superior aura. Although the strength was different, they were much stronger than ordinary people. Guo Shier asked, "Ao Bao, who are these people?"

Ao Bao said with a smile, "They are some noble officials of Modo City, and there are many … like me, they are all merchants."

Guo Shier nodded, it seemed that the status of merchants here was very high, they could easily sit on the same level as the noble officials. He asked, "The play you mentioned … when will it start?"

Ao Bao said with a smile, "There is no hurry, this is a small gathering, everyone can exchange information, talk to each other, eat some food, a little later, there will be a play."

Guo Shier scratched his head, he was really curious about this play, it should be different from the plays he had seen in his previous life, what would it be like, he could not imagine at all.

Soon, the waiter brought over some exquisite dishes. For Guo Shier, these so-called exquisite snacks were really very ordinary, only the angel fruit, he felt that it was not bad, it tasted sweet and sour, it looked very ordinary, it was light purple, just like the grapes in his previous life, but not in bunches.

Guo Shier had eaten countless kinds of fruits, and also collected all kinds of special fruit trees, they were all planted in the small mysterious realm, except for a few special fruits, the rest were left alone, and there was no time to pick them, they were left to grow on their own. On the other hand, A Handsome Old Man would go to the small mysterious realm to pick and collect in his spare time, mainly to pickle or make various kinds of preserved fruits and preserves.

After about an hour, Guo Shier was very patient, he chatted for a while and waited in silence. He did not know why, he was a little looking forward to it, it was a little funny just thinking about it, he had seen all kinds of entertainment in his previous life, he actually had the mood of looking forward to the play of a native from a small world.

The center of the hall was empty, short tables were placed around the empty space, Guo Shier knew that that was the stage. Indeed, someone had placed seven to eight short tables in the empty space in the center of the hall, on top of which were covered with greyish white coarse cloth. Three people walked out, stepped on the short table, and suddenly the surroundings became quiet.

An old man walked out, trembling, next to him were two middle-aged women, they helped him to the short table. One of the women put down three thick cushions, and the three sat down cross-legged. The old man was holding a very strange thing in his hand, it was a strange instrument that was connected in two semicircles, in Guo Shier's eyes, it looked like two pipa connected together, but the old man was not hugging the instrument, instead he was carrying the strange instrument on his lap.

The old man lowered his head and strummed the instrument, it made a few strange sounds, then he coughed, without saying anything, he started to strum the instrument, it made a tinkling sound.

A hoarse voice was heard along with the tinkling sound. Guo Shier could not help but laugh, it turned out to be a rap. The old man's voice was very unique, accompanied by the sound of the instrument, it felt even more strange. The two women took out two small hand drums and cooperated to beat.

There was a unique kind of vicissitudes and simplicity, especially the old man's hoarse voice, it made this kind of feeling even more.

Guo Shier secretly sighed in his heart, every kind of art has its own unique charm, otherwise it would not be able to spread in a place. The old man looked very ordinary, but when he opened his mouth to rap, that charm was very fascinating. Gradually, Guo Shier turned his attention to the content of the old man's rap.

At first, Guo Shier did not understand, but he quickly adjusted, after all, he was proficient in the language of countless small worlds, his sense of language had long been at the level of a grandmaster. As the old man continued to rap, his face gradually became serious.

Ao Bao was very intoxicated, he closed his eyes, shook his head, and his mouth was still in the rhythm of the rap. At a glance, it was obvious that this guy had listened to it many times, most of the people in the hall were the same.

When Guo Shier understood and followed the content of the rap, his face became extremely serious, because the old man was talking about the legend of this small world, which could also be said to be the world's myths. Guo Shier knew very well that although myths and legends were very distorted, there must be a source, which meant that these myths and legends were very likely the history of this world.

If it was just history, it would not be worthy of Guo Shier's attention. The problem was that from the rap, he found a lot of familiar things, including the enemies who came from across worlds, the resistance of the local heroes, and the battle that they called a catastrophe.

In the end, their so-called heroes perished together with the enemies who crossed worlds, bringing peace to the world. Guo Shier could not help but laugh, because the enemies described by the old man were evil and bloodthirsty, causing countless casualties in this world. Guo Shier estimated that if they wanted to show that they came from across worlds, they must also be evil and bloodthirsty. However, this world seemed to have no high-end martial arts, which meant that there were no heroes in this world, so how would they deal with it now?

The old man was only talking about a paragraph of the story. Guo Shier thought for a moment and asked softly, "Ao Bao, how long is this story?"

Ao Bao said in a low voice, "The story is very long … If you want to hear it from the beginning to the end, you'll need about half a year. Hehe, I've only heard the complete story once. Now, I'm listening to the most popular short stories. In fact, most people have never heard the complete story, but the best few stories have been heard countless times."

Guo Shier thought for a moment and asked, "The Battle of White Plains in this story … What place is White Plains?"

Ao Bao was stunned and said, "White Plains … I heard that it is in the west. Hehe, I have never been there, and I do not dare to go there. That place is a forbidden place, and now no one dares to go there. It is said that a long time ago, in order to find the footprints of the heroes, to find the White Plains where the heroes fought, they specially organized a team to go there. In the end … many people died. It is very scary … Since then, that place has become a forbidden place."

Guo Shier nodded. He was a little curious about the White Plains, but unfortunately, the old man's rap was only a story, and could not completely describe the whole legend and myth. He whispered, "Well, is there any way for me to meet him and talk to him?"

Ao Bao was stunned again, thought for a moment and said, "Well, as long as you pay … there should be no problem."

Guo Shier did not have any local currency. He thought for a moment and said, "I will use some fur and clothing materials to exchange for some money. How about it?" He instinctively felt that this story had clues and value.

Ao Bao did not refuse. In fact, he had long coveted the fur and clothing materials that Guo Shier owned. Because Guo Shier had given him a few pieces of clothing materials at the beginning, he was embarrassed to continue asking for more. Even if he wanted to buy more, he was too embarrassed to open his mouth. That was why he had asked him to watch the show. He did not expect that there would be an opportunity at this time.

"No problem, I will arrange it."

Guo Shier said again, "Don't worry, as long as I am satisfied, you will be satisfied."

Hearing this, Ao Bao could not help but be stunned. These words were really awkward. What do you mean if I am satisfied, you will be satisfied? However, when he thought of the exquisite clothing materials, his mood became extremely happy. He said, "Well, I will give you a satisfactory price."

Bang!

With a loud sound, someone kicked open the door, and a group of people rushed in while cursing.
