Chapter 223 [Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng]
Loulan City is built against the mountains and built against the river. The city is so big that it makes people look endless. The city is extremely prosperous and seems impermanent, but the void exudes a strong atmosphere of cultivation.
There is no one guarding the city gate, and anyone should be able to enter and exit freely. Therefore, Loulan City became the most prosperous city of the next day, including casinos, pawn shops, shops, restaurants, inns, brothels.
There are many outsiders here all year round, so the pedestrians passing by on the street were not curious about Shiraishi's arrival.
Bai Shi was walking on the streets and mountains. When he looked around, he seemed to be looking for something. What he was trying to find at this time was not Ouyang Jingjing, but a pawnshop, dismantle the property obtained from the monks and exchange it for crystal coins, and then find an inn for a temporary rest, slowly inquiring about Ouyang Jingjing's whereabouts.
Soon, he walked straight ahead for several meters along the street, and a pawnshop finally appeared not far away. Shiraishi subconsciously accelerated his pace and soon walked into the pawnshop.
The decorations inside the pawn shop were very neat, but at this time, there was no one except the pawn shop owner. He was a middle-aged man wearing a deep-legged robe. He had a black beard on his chin, a black gauze hat on his head, and a holding abacus in his hand. He was concentrating on something. There were some crystal coins and some crystal coins beside him.
Shiraishi was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the boss did not take the initiative to greet him, he spoke directly and said, "Boss, I want to be a thing."
Shirashi's words made the pawnshop owner stunned for a moment. After looking up at Shirashi, he continued to plot the abacus in his hand and said, "Have you lost all the money you have? Alas... People like you spend all their money in the casino all day long. How much money do you have? They will lose all their possessions, and say, what do you want to be?"
Shiraishi frowned slightly, and heard his words in confusion. After taking out the storage bag, he said, "Sorry, boss, you may have recognized the wrong person. This is my first time here this day. How can I say that a prodigal family is coming?"
Hearing this, the boss's body was stunned again. When he looked up at Bai Shi, he saw that Bai Shi took out a lot of property from the storage bag, and immediately pushed it to the boss and said, "You estimate how much these things can be worth."
The pawnshop owner saw that there were some blood stains on the property, and could roughly guess the source of the property, saying, "These things are hard to come by." The pawnshop owner said, trying to learn from Shiraishi's mouth about the source of the property.
Bai Shi did not speak, but saw that the boss had a random look in the property with his palm, and said, "These things are worth 4,000 crystals in total. If you are willing to be them, I will give you 4,000 crystals. If you want to redeem them, you will need 6,000 crystals. Look, how?"
The pawnshop owner gave a very reasonable price. He did not bully Shiraishi, the first time he came to this day.
When Bai Shi heard this, he thought that these things were of no use to him, and there were indeed a lot of 4,000 crystal stones. So after he agreed readily, he saw the pawnshop owner turn around, take out two crystal coin cards from a wooden box, and hand it to Bai Shi.
At this moment, a panting man suddenly ran over. After the man came, he put his hands on the wooden cabinet, looked at the pawnshop's owner, and said, "Boss Mo, lend me some more crystal coins. All my crystal coins have been lost. You lend me some more, and I will give them to you in a while!"
The pawnshop owner gave the man a blank look and said, "You owe me 4,000 crystal coins. You can't borrow money, so you can use something as a gift."
The man saw the pawnshop owner's expression, and his expression changed suddenly and he said, "Boss Mo, the profit of the things I, Ye Qiu, is far more than the four thousand crystal coins, why are you so heartless?"
The owner of the pawnshop did not look directly at him, but looked at Shiraishi and said, "There are 4,000 crystal coins in these two crystal coin cards. You can take them out when you go to any money shop."
Shiraishi smiled and nodded, saying, "By the way, Boss Mo, I want to ask you about some things."
The pawnshop owner asked, "What do you want to ask about?"
Bai Shi said: "Is there someone with the surname Ouyang in this Loulan City?"
Boss Mo frowned slightly, recalled the moment, and said, "Ouyang? I don't seem to have heard of it."
"As for the Ouyang family, you should ask me about this world... I know."
At this moment, the man named Ye Qiu said.
After Bai Shi swept his eyes over this person, he did not believe the person's words. He immediately turned around and was about to leave. Ye Qiu continued: "The Emperor Ouyang has a daughter who is beautiful in the world! She is called Ouyang Jingjing..."
When Shiraishi heard the man's words, he immediately became interested. After turning to look at the man again, he said, "Do you really know?"
Ye Qiu showed a flattering smile, grabbed Bai Shi, walked out of the pawnshop, and said, "It is not convenient to talk here, let's go out and talk."
Bai Shi followed Ye Qiu out and came to an alley. Then Ye Qiu looked around and said, "What are you doing with the Ouyang family... In this second day, not everyone can step into the Ouyang family."
Bai Shi looked calm and said, "I'm looking for Ouyang Jingjing... Do you know their home is there?"
Ye Qiu smiled wickedly and said, "Of course I know, but you also know that those who do our jobs need to charge a certain fee." Ye Qiu said, stretched out his finger and rubbed it in front of Bai Shi for a while.
At this moment, only Ye Qiu knew Ouyang Jingjing's whereabouts. Whether it was true or false, he wanted to give it a try, so he said, "Don't worry, I won't let you waste your energy. As long as you take me to find Ouyang Jingjing, I will give you two thousand crystal coins. How about it?"
Hearing Bai Shi's words, Ye Qiu's eyes suddenly burst out with a bright light and he said, "Okay, okay. But I'm a little tight... You heard it just now, so can you give me the crystal coin first?"
Bai Shi said, "Yes, but I can't give it all to you. I'll give you one thousand crystal coins first, and the remaining one thousand crystal coins. After finding Ouyang Jingjing, I'll give it to you. What's the matter?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu agreed readily and led Bai Shi to the money shop together. Until Bai Shi took out the crystal coins from the crystal coin card and handed over a thousand crystal coins to Ye Qiu, he saw Ye Qiu leaving.
"When we go find Jingjing?" When Ye Qiu was about to leave, Bai Shi hurriedly spoke.
Ye Qiu stopped and said, "It will take a few days to set off. I will handle the matter in this Loulan City clearly. By the way, if you want to find me in the future, just be in the casino ahead."
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he disappeared into Bai Shi's eyes.
Shiraishi didn't stop him, thinking that he had been waiting for such a long time and didn't care about these days. But if this man named Ye Qiu dared to play tricks on Shiraishi, Shiraish would definitely not let him have a good life.
So, after leaving the money house, Bai Shi found a restaurant, ate some food, and returned to his room. After a little rest, he walked out of the room and walked on the dimly lit street. He relaxed and walked to another restaurant. When he was walking to another restaurant, a scent of wine came from the restaurant, which made Bai Shi feel in his heart.
Bai Shi looked up and saw that the second floor of the restaurant was open-air, and the third floor was also open-air. Bai Shi walked into the restaurant, ordered some dishes, and walked straight to the third floor, standing on the edge of the floor, looking at Loulan City. Standing on this third floor, he could see most of the Loulan City.
Time passed slowly, and Bai Shi was drinking wine while looking at the dimly lit city of Loulan. It was late at night that Bai Shi took back his thoughts, returned to his place where he lived, and fell asleep in a drowsy state.
In this Loulan City, five days passed in the blink of an eye. During these five days, Ye Qiu had looked for Bai Shi in the future, until the sixth day, Bai Shi took the initiative to look for Ye Qiu.
There are many casinos in Loulan City. According to Ye Qiu, the casino he is in should be a casino called "Gambling".
It was Shiraishi's first time entering this casino. As soon as he entered the casino, Shiraishi felt extremely uncomfortable. This feeling made him scan the casino and saw a man in black coming over.
The man walked over, looked at Shiraishi up and down, pointed to the stairs ahead, and said, "The casino is below. If you go to bet, just go down there."
Shiraishi nodded, and did not speak, but walked straight towards the direction the man pointed. Until the moment he went down the stairs, behind the man in black, a man in white, holding a paper fan in his hand, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "This is the first time this person has come to our casino. Let me see. Will he be generous when he place a bet later?"
After the man in white finished speaking, the man in black immediately clasped his fists and bowed, followed Bai Shi's steps, went down the stairs and came to the underground casino.
The casino is very big, with tens of thousands of square meters at a glance. Even in this casino, it is full of people at this moment, and it seems that it is extremely difficult to walk, and it is a smoky atmosphere.
