Gu An, who was chatting with Boli and the other three, noticed two unfamiliar faces joining them. He could not help but be startled, but from the way they were dressed, they were undoubtedly from the cannibals tribe. He couldn't help but say, "Boli, they …"
Boli grabbed his wrist and whispered, "The elders agreed. Bring us into the city first, and we'll tell you what happened later." Gu An looked solemnly at the other three tribesmen. Seeing that they were nodding, he immediately calmed down and brought the six people with the horses to register.
When it was their turn to register, Gu An showed his token to the registration staff at the city gate and successfully registered them. Immortal Lord Crocodile's name was changed to "Da Niu," while the others' names remained the same. After all, the names of the others, including Yue Qianchou, would not attract much attention. Only Immortal Lord Crocodile's name was famous in the Immortal World, so he had to change his name. As for why he was called Da Niu, it was naturally because someone was called Niu Youde.
After passing through the city gate, a bustling city that was different from the Loess Plain outside appeared in front of everyone. The wide streets were filled with exquisitely built, simple, and luxurious shops. Boli and the others were a little dazzled. Immortal Lord Crocodile's face was full of emotion. He probably did not expect that a city would appear in this place sealed off by the Heaven and Earth Formation.
The pedestrians on the streets could easily distinguish between those who were from the city and those who were from other tribes. First, there was the difference in clothing. The people in the city all wore cloth clothes, and few would wear things like animal skins. Second, there was the difference in their behavior. Those who walked on the streets and kept looking around, as if everything was new to them. Just like Yue Qianchou, who had a head full of pigtails, one could tell at a glance that they were foreigners.
Most of the people in the city who wore cloth clothes looked at the tribesmen with disdain. If not for the fact that the city lord needed these people to participate in the triennial fence meeting, they would have chased all these natives out of the city.
Gu An knew that his tribesmen rarely had the opportunity to enter, so he introduced the entire Loess Plain in detail as he walked …
Loess City's land area was not small, as could be seen from the more than three hundred thousand permanent residents within the city. However, tribal warriors like Gu An, who had obtained residency rights, did the dirtiest and most tiring chores in the city, making up less than one-twentieth of the city's population. This was equivalent to more than 10,000 warriors from various tribes serving the 300,000 locals in the city. The so-called city dwellers were actually the nobles and their family members who managed the various cities in the Holy East Land. Even if they did nothing every month, they could still receive one gold coin per head, which was equivalent to one hundred silver coins.
And tribal warriors like Gu An, who had obtained residency rights, were similar to those who worked in the city. However, even if they worked themselves to death, they would only be able to earn 50 Silver Coins a month at most. Most of them would only earn around 20 Silver Coins a month. But relatively speaking, it was still much better than hunting in the tribe. However, due to the high cost of living in the city, the warriors of each tribe only had a few silver coins left after filling their stomachs.
In fact, their lives were far from being as comfortable as they were in the tribe. As long as they could hunt enough prey in the tribe, their lives were still relatively comfortable. In short, their lives were much worse than when they were in the tribe. However, the tribesmen needed them to stay in the city, because salt could only be bought in the city. Usually, the tribesmen were not allowed to enter the city. Even if there was extra game to sell, they could only rely on the tribesmen who were struggling in the city to do it.
Yue Qianchou felt that the Immortals' rule and management of the city and beyond were a little ridiculous. Because the entire continent was sealed by the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Formation, ordinary people couldn't get their hands on salt. After all, people couldn't live without salt, and the Immortals relied on salt to rule and manage the entire continent.
These so-called city dwellers actually lived in a huge cage. From birth to death, almost no one could take a step out of the city. Only those who were restricted to farming outside the city walls and providing the city with fresh fruits and vegetables were allowed to enter and leave the walled city. However, they were only able to leave the city to work in the fields.
Although there was only a wall between the city and the city, it was like two different worlds. The city dwellers thought that they lived a decent life, but in fact, they paid for their lifelong freedom. They would never know how rich and colorful the outside world was, and how vast the outside world was. As for the tribes living outside, they maintained the most primitive way of life without being disturbed.
Yue Qianchou couldn't figure out what these trapped Immortals wanted. Why did they want to turn the continent into two extremes? What puzzled Yue Qianchou the most was, what was the purpose of the fence gathering? What were the 100 warriors who won every competition doing in the Immortal City?
The group was chatting as they walked. Suddenly, two boys crossed the street. When one of them saw Yue Qianchou, he tugged on the other boy's sleeve and gestured for him to look at Yue Qianchou. The two boys were about seven or eight years old. They looked at Yue Qianchou as if they were looking at a monster, and they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The group stopped in their tracks. They didn't know what the two children were laughing about. Yue Qianchou was even more confused. Could it be that his temperament was so extraordinary that even the children could tell that he was a fake native?
Sigh! The children's eyes were pure and they could tell people apart! Yue Qianchou looked around proudly, showing off his extraordinary temperament. Unexpectedly, the two children looked at each other and smiled wickedly. They spat a few times, and only stopped when the saliva in their mouths was dry.
Immortal Crocodile raised half of his eyebrows. The expressions on his face were very colorful. He seemed very happy to see Yue Qianchou being treated like this. Boli and the others looked at each other, a little confused. Gu An's expression didn't look good …
Yue Qianchou wasn't wearing any clothes. Looking at the spit on his body, he was a little confused. He didn't know what this meant. He comforted himself. Perhaps this was similar to the Water Splashing Festival in Yunnan. It was a kind of etiquette. It meant that I was very popular with children. I'll endure it! If I really can't endure it, I'll just spit on them.
However, illusions were always easily shattered. The ridicule of the passersby made Yue Qianchou feel that something was wrong. Yue Qianchou pulled a long face and asked, "Little brat, why did you spit on me?"
One of the children put his hands on his waist and pointed at Yue Qianchou. He said disdainfully, "You're so small, and yet you came to participate in the fence meeting. Aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourself? Damn native, scram back to where you came from. "
Am I small? Yue Qianchou asked himself. His height was not bad! But when he looked back at Boli and the others, he immediately understood. His height was not bad outside, but compared to the warriors of various tribes who were more than two meters tall, he was indeed thin and short...
Son of a b * tch, you think that I'm easy to bully because I'm small! How dare you spit on me … Yue Qianchou's face completely darkened.
Who knew that he wasn't the only one being bullied by these two children. The other child ran in front of Gu An and pointed at his braided hair. He said, "You're obviously a poor and dirty native, but you still want to learn to wear our clothes. Scram out of Loess City. Ptui ptui … "He started to spit on Gu An again.
Obviously, the miserable Gu An was despised by the little boy because he wore cloth clothes and had braided hair. But even so, Gu An's face was livid. He didn't dare to flare up because he couldn't afford to offend the natives in the city.
When the child facing Yue Qianchou saw that his companion was spitting to his heart's content, he immediately wanted to compete with him. He started to spit again at Yue Qianchou.
F * ck! Yue Qianchou looked around and his gaze paused on a small alley on the side of the road. Not only was he not angry, but a warm smile appeared on his face. Facing the spitting saliva, he stretched out his hand and showed the thing in his hand. He smiled amiably and said, "Little friend, do you want it?"
That child was stunned for a moment and revealed a stunned look. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and stopped spitting. He even called his companion over. Yue Qianchou then showed the other child what he was holding in his hand, only to see a handful of gold coins appear in his hand out of nowhere …
"Little friend, do you want it?" Yue Qianchou once again guided them patiently.
One of the children was very shrewish. He put his hands on his waist and said, "Damn native, how do you have so much money? Where did you steal it from? Quickly give it to me, or else I'll report it to the authorities …"
"Shh!" Yue Qianchou raised his index finger and gestured for them to be quiet. He pointed to a small alley on the side of the road and said softly, "Let's go there to talk. I have a small question to ask you. As long as you answer me, I'll give you these gold coins. How about that?"
The two children looked at each other slyly and immediately nodded. "Let's go!" They ran into the alley first and even waved at Yue Qianchou, signaling him to come quickly. Yue Qianchou nodded with a smile and walked in.
Boli and the others looked at each other. They didn't know what Yue Qianchou wanted to do because they didn't see clearly what Yue Qianchou was holding in his hand. But from what the child said, it seemed to be money?
Immortal Crocodile's eyelids twitched. He saw clearly that Yue Qianchou was holding a handful of gold coins in his hand. Based on his understanding of Yue Qianchou, he didn't think that Yue Qianchou would be so friendly as to give gold coins for free … Could it be that this guy would even kill children?
After one adult and two children entered the alley, the younger one immediately said, "Ask quickly if you have any questions!" Yue Qianchou looked back at the occasional pedestrians on the street behind him and pointed inside. "Go a little further in! If other adults see that you two children have so many gold coins, they might rob you. "
The two children agreed tacitly, thinking that Yue Qianchou's words were very reasonable. They were obviously very familiar with the terrain here. They led Yue Qianchou into a corner, and the child who spoke earlier said, "Ask here!"
