C17 (1/2)

Compared to the bustling eastern part of the city, the western part of Iron Rhinoceros City seemed somewhat run-down. In a corner of the western part of the city, because this place was as depressing and oppressive as a clay pot, the streets and alleys here were collectively addressed by a single name — Earth Tank Lane.

Today, it was drizzling, and a dirt road in the alley was muddy. Because it was still early, there weren't many footprints, only the footprints of dogs and cats.

As he walked past, mud and water splashed in all directions. When he hit the black mud wall, black spots appeared one after another, as if they were completely dried up blood.

Two old men who were already in the annals were sitting under the eaves playing chess. Compared to the complicated and time-consuming Blackie, the people here liked to fight in the mountains and rivers.

The chessboard was carved very firmly, except for the small flowers at the four corners. The chessboard was also made of wood, and was very polished.

”General!” An old man had killed the Red Marshal in one shot, and the game was over.

”Old man, do you know where Li Da Fu's family is?” Chang Lou bowed to ask the old man who had won the game. This old man was in a good mood and would most likely tell him.

The old man sized up the house. With a bamboo hat and a long blade, he said with a trembling voice, ”Turn left in front of you. The second house will be it.”

”Thank you!” The house saluted again and quickly disappeared around the corner.

Seeing that the house had already disappeared, another old man asked in surprise, ”How did the people from the east end suddenly become so polite?”

”Who cares!” Chess! Eating cannons! ”

”Not at all, not at all. I didn't pay attention to that. Let's do it again!”

For those of them who were old and struggling to survive, the death of the emperor and the collapse of the heavens had nothing to do with them. They were the true freelancers.

Soon, the game was over. The old man suddenly discovered that there was another person beside him. This person was dressed in black, had a straight face, and was tall and sturdy body. He held a large Zhanmadao in his hand. There was a suffocating pressure all over his body, as if a towering mountain was pressing down on him, causing him to be unable to breathe. A pair of sharp falcon eyes, there was a type of magic, when it stared at them, it would have the urge to shake off the guilt of wetting the bed when they were young.

”Did you two elders see a person wearing a bamboo hat and a knife come here?” His voice was extremely majestic, and could not be deceived.

”Yes!” The old man first nodded his head, then he added submissively, ”Just now, one of them went to Li Da Fu's house!”

Another old man quickly added, afraid that this person would be displeased, ”It's the second house on the left on this street!”

”Thank you!” The man cupped his fists in thanks and disappeared around the corner.

”Disperse!” ”Old man.”

”Alright!”

The two old men didn't have the mood to continue the game, so they packed up and went home.

He was still in the world, how could he be at ease?

Bang! Bang! Bang! Chang Lou knocked on the door. There was movement in the yard, but no one paid any attention to it.

”It's here!” It's here! Knock on what? It's not like I'm deaf! ” A woman, whose clothes were half undressed and whose makeup was heavily colorful, opened the door even though she was old and still had a bit of charm to her.

Chang Lou was shocked. This woman's facial features were very similar to the innocent and beautiful girl in the town of Yunmei. ”Is this time or suffering?”

The woman was also stunned. This person's appearance was obviously very rich. ”Is he looking for me?”
