Chapter 47 Free City 3
When Xia An saw someone coming, he ran over happily. Although the scar on his face was a bit hideous, he really had the professional quality of a jewelry store salesman on earth who came to meet a big customer.
It was already late at this time, the sunset was half sunny, and the sunset covered half of the sky. As Xia'an moved all kinds of things from the car in batches, it caused noise from the people here.
Zhang Cheng noticed that Xia An took out the main tools, various needles, axes, saws, shovels, fabrics, and of course metal ingots I had seen before. In addition, there were some jars, which were rough and simple, and I don’t know what was contained inside. Every time Xia An took out something, it would arouse the enthusiasm and hustle and bustle of these people. However, although the whole scene was lively, everything was under control. The group of people did not snatch the goods. Although they were messy, they eventually placed the goods neatly underground and lined up in a row.
In the end, Zhang Chengdu felt that even if Xia An’s truck was not cleared, at least most of it was vacant.
You can see at a glance that the most important thing in Cheyenne's goods is tools. Is there a lack of tools in this place?
People, especially women, were chattering and obviously had their favorite goals.
The woman in the lead had no expression on her face, but looked at the rows of various goods under her feet. She looked at the goods, as if she was calculating, and as if she was looking at them.
"Sir Wu Ling, look..." Xia An asked with an almost flattering attitude.
The woman nodded reservedly. She raised her head and noticed Jia and Zhang Cheng who had not made any noise on the side. Especially Jia, he was wearing not ordinary clothes, but metal armor on the inner and outer skin. According to the standards of the earth, he would feel that this kind of armor has no advantage in terms of shape or defense. However, according to the standards of this world, this is a high-quality product and is expensive. In the case of the Quanrong Game, if a player chooses a warrior profession, he will not have the money to exchange for this kind of armor when he passes the first act.
By the way, although Zhang Cheng also wore armor, the leather armor was hidden inside a wide dress.
"Who are they?" The woman's eyes turned from Jia to Zhang Cheng.
"They are...my companions." Xia An's face changed, but he finally answered like this. "Don't worry, I can guarantee..." His voice stopped because the woman had already arrived in front of Zhang Cheng.
The woman is not tall, and she is slightly shorter when standing in front of Zhang Cheng. However, the aura of a woman can easily ignore the height difference between the two sides. Zhang Cheng then realized that this woman is very young, only about fifteen or sixteen years old. However, this age is already considered an adult in this world. And, most importantly, by the standards of the earthlings, she is very beautiful.
I saw the girl who was half short of him in front of me with her eyes slightly wide open eyes, her cherry lips were pursed, her skin was fair, and a few strands of hair were slid off her forehead. Even if she was not stained with makeup, her whole face was so delicate that it was impossible to pick out a little flaws. It would not be an exaggeration to call it beautiful.
Zhang Cheng has never seen women in this world. Kunwu City is not a single country, there are still many women in it. For example, Kunwu doctor has several maids. However, different worlds and even different worlds need different worlds, and there are different aesthetics in different environments. Just like the ancient Chinese on Earth, which is called a beauty with thick waist, flat chest, big butt and small feet, which is contrary to modern aesthetics and is completely evil. Of course, China is by no means the only exception. It is said that women in a certain country in Central Asia used obesity and long beards as beauty, leaving behind a photo of the first beauty who fell in love with all living beings back then. That photo can really induce vomiting for modern people. In addition, long necks are beautiful, tattooed faces are beautiful, and small eyes are beautiful... and so on. In the history of human beings on Earth, countless incredible aesthetics have emerged. These "beauties" under the aesthetics are even like monsters in the eyes of modern people.
This is why Zhang Cheng has seen so many native women who are indifferent and never have any special thoughts. The main reason is that in his eyes, these women are so ugly. They have neither the right appearance nor the right clothes nor the right makeup, and it is impossible to be beautiful.
"This is... Mr. Zhang Cheng." Xia An came over to introduce both parties. "This is Lord Wu Ling."
The title "Witch Ling?" made Zhang Cheng realize what immediately. Is this a priest? It's not like. The priests Zhang Cheng currently knows all put the holy emblem on his body anytime and anywhere, and always hold it in his hand to pray for a few words. They all look like a charlatan. So is it the so-called Haotian Priest? But as I said before, there is only one Haotian Priest here in Xiaxu, who is an old man named a wizard, and he is in a seclusion and will not show up at any time.
"My name is Nanling." The woman said. Her eyes seemed a little disappointed, as if she had recognized the wrong person.
Most men and women in this world are sex animals, so Zhang Cheng, of course, it is impossible for a vulgar person like Zhang Cheng to overcome this hurdle. Just by glimpsing the slightly disappointed expression on the girl's face, his brain has made uncontrollably inappropriate instructions, cherishing her.
"Miss Nanling, I don't know what to serve." Zhang Cheng said completely subconsciously.
"What did you say?" Nan Ling had just turned her head, but suddenly turned around after hearing Zhang Cheng's words.
The two of them met face to face, and a few seconds later, Zhang Cheng realized that Nan Ling was introducing herself in Chinese just now.
"hello," a bird sing suddenly appeared in Nanling. "howareyou?"
"Earth people, China," Zhang Chengze replied directly. "Time traveler." He knew that locals could not understand the language of the earth.
"Haha..." Nan Ling laughed. Then she immediately noticed that the eyes of the others were focusing on this side. In the eyes of others, Nan Ling first said a few words they couldn't understand for no reason, and then smiled at the stranger from outside. All of this revealed strangeness, which made people shocked and suspicious.
Not to mention others, even Xia An looked at Zhang Cheng with a strange expression.
"It's okay," Nanling returned to her original position. "So, is everything going as it was agreed?" he said to Xia An.
"Okay!" Xia An didn't care about anything else. For merchants, transactions are the most important thing, and the rest can be put aside first.
Nanling called out a few times, and someone sent something over there, which was taken by Nanling in his hand and handed it to Xia An. Xia An took it over, and the expression on his face was filled with a businessman who could express the greatest greed.
Zhang Cheng's eyes almost fell out because he knew very well what it was. In fact, he could see at a glance what was in Xia An's hand. It was a glass cup. Moreover, it was not the crystal clear glass cup commonly found on the earth. This cup can only be said to be of poor quality, with a lot of impurities in the glass. It was simply the kind of garbage that no one wanted on the road. But at this moment, Xia An's expression seemed to be holding a mountain of gold, which was really full of comedy and satirical effects.
Well, it's normal to think about it. Zhang Cheng still remembers that glass technology was the highest secret of a certain country in the Middle Ages. Merchants who monopolized glass technology were able to sell an ordinary mirror to sky-high prices.
"This is the glass cup..." Xia An touched her and reluctantly took out a box and put the cup inside.
This kind of thing belongs to the kind of treasure that cannot be obtained easily. It is also something he pursues hard.
At this point, the money and goods were all over. A group of men and women finally started to do something, each holding the things they had seen, and some noisy left the place. Xia An tidy up the things, especially this glass cup, and did not dare to put them everywhere. He packed them with several other valuables and put them in the house. When he came out, he saw that Jia was the only one in the yard, and Zhang Cheng was gone.
"Where has Mr. Zhang Cheng gone?"
"Follow that witch bell." Jia said while packing the horses.
...
The sunset is gone. The sunset that had covered the sky for a long time just now has dimmed. This can be said to be the last afterglow today. However, it is this afterglow that has a strange beauty, like a flame, dyeing everything in the mortal world with crimson red.
The two of them stood on the wall of Xiaxu and watched the sunset.
As mentioned earlier, the city wall of Xiaxu was very damaged, and the large gap was particularly eye-catching. However, although the large gap was the largest gap, it was not the only gap. It is not an exaggeration to describe the entire city wall as "fragmented". There are no guards patrolling back and forth on the city wall, so it has become a place without anyone else. Here, two time travelers can chat casually without worrying about being heard by anyone.
"You said... you are the leader here?" Zhang Cheng was really surprised this time. He originally thought that the other party's identity should be extraordinary (considering the knowledge that time travelers have, it was not surprising that they were at a higher position among the crowd), but he did not expect that they were the leader. In this dark and wilderness era, a woman actually became the leader of the human group? Even if that woman was a time traveler, this was incredible enough.
"Are you... a priest?" Zhang Cheng couldn't help asking. If he was a high-level priest, it would be understandable.
"Are you talking about panels?" Nan Ling laughed. "I'm sorry, I'm not. Those gods are bloodthirsty and savage, and they are not worthy of being called God. Human beings are used to calling their irresistible powers, calling their unknown horrors, and calling their wishful thinking God, but that is not the real God. The people, the people, the people, can make history."
She stretched out her arms and made a hug.
"Then are you?" Zhang Cheng asked. "Master?"
"On the panel, I'm just a level 3 warrior." Nan Ling said. "I feel very weak, right? But the strength of human beings has never been an individual, but a group."
Do you have any misunderstandings about this world? Zhang Cheng couldn't help but think so. But he immediately denied this possibility.
"Look," Nanling looked down at the neat community under the city wall. "I have worked hard to build a community." She said without waiting for Zhang Cheng to reply. "In this world where people cannibalize, it is really not easy to build such a community."
Her head lowered her head and looked particularly soft, with her black hair slid slightly along the side of her neck, revealing a small piece of fair and flawless skin on the back of her neck. She took advantage of her black hair in her red skirt, and the snow-white area seemed to be glowing.
"How did you build it?" Although Zhang Cheng is a little lord and a corporal, he has to admire the achievements of building such a community of thousands of people alone. Although to be honest, he feels a little weird. There is a... not very real feeling. "This is an era with extremely backward productivity."
"It was a dark age." Nan Ling corrected. "It was difficult at the beginning,... disease, hunger, wild beasts... were all difficult challenges. Only when everyone worked together and a little luck could they overcome these difficulties. But the most dangerous is not these, the most dangerous is people."
"Man?" Zhang Cheng asked. Didn't this say that this is the territory of the wizard? No one, including the local legal lord, dared not anger a great wizard, so he simply shrank his head and pretended not to see anything. In this way, who can still pose a threat to this place?
"Do you know why this world is dark?" Nan Ling said. "This darkness does not come from nature, from backwardness, but from people's hearts. There are always some people who were obviously enslaved and hurt in the past. But with the opportunity, they want to enslave and hurt others." She shook her head, as if she wanted to erase some nightmares that she didn't want to recall. "But I was lucky to find many like-minded people. In the end, we decided to live here together, neither bullying others nor being bullied by others."
"Zhang Cheng," she asked suddenly. "Would you like to join me? If there are two people, we can do more. I have a lot of like-minded people here, but they lack a lot of necessary qualities..."
Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment. Perhaps the hesitant expression was too obvious. The next moment, Nan Ling's face became cold.
"Why are you here?" she asked in another tone.
"I'll carry out the mission of my lord." Zhang Cheng replied truthfully.
"Master?" Nan Ling sneered. She looked at Zhang Cheng's clothes again. Although Zhang Cheng's clothes were simple, they could still see the texture. "So that's it, you have joined the slave owner and nobles."
Zhang Cheng wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know how to answer. A strong sense of incongruity puzzled him.
"We can have a lot to do in this world. Do you just want to pursue your own rights and status? Or do you want to pursue your own strength?" said Nan Ling. "It is difficult for men to resist this temptation. But you have to understand that joining the slave owner and noble side is the enemy of the people. You should know the saying "If you are not free, you would rather die"?"
"Do you know, this... I think in this world, racial conflicts are still above class conflicts." Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say it. According to what he saw with his own eyes, whether it is Quanrong, Hufang, or Huaiyi, these alien races have teeth that eat meat in one bite! No matter how much human beings exploit and oppress, it is better than being eaten alive by alien races.
Nan Ling wanted to speak, but before she could speak, a figure ran over next to her.
"Sister Wu Ling," the one who ran over was a child who was not very old, about twelve or twelve years old. "No, something happened there! The house collapsed!"
