C48 (2/2)
Raising his head, he saw that the sky wasn't the sky. There was only a faint light anyway, but he couldn't see any light source. There was also a faint mist mixed in as they walked forward.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally caught sight of a passerby. Their faces could not be clearly seen, but they could only see that they were all carrying oil lamps in their hands. The light was very weak, and their footsteps were very hurried.
Everyone was walking in the same direction. I didn't know where they were going, but when I finally saw them, my heart felt a lot more at ease.
I hurried forward and caught up with the man who was walking in front of me. He was holding an oil lamp, wearing thick cotton clothes, and carrying eight lanterns that looked like they were from the ancient times.
”Hello, may I ask …” Before I could finish my words, the person I was holding onto broke free from my hold on his clothes and ran forward like a wisp of smoke.
I don't know where I got the courage.
Chase after him and run forward...
After running for an unknown amount of time, the person that I had just captured came to a sudden stop. It was at this moment that I noticed that the surrounding environment had changed and the people had also increased, most of them similar to him.
Those people all lined up and stood in two rows, as if they wanted to enter some place. Looking forward, there was a gate in front of them. No, it was more accurate to call it a door frame.
The door frame was very tall, and with the fog surrounding it, I couldn't make out the words at all, and I didn't recognize the writing very well.
Before I knew what was going on, I was suddenly pushed through the door frame by two large, green-faced men in front of me.
As soon as I entered the door frame, the scene in front of me changed. It was as different as heaven and earth from where I was just now.
I thought I was seeing things, so I rubbed my eyes. When I opened them again, I believed it …
There were countless pavilions in front of him, and all of the people in front of him were shouting, ”Hot buns, hot buns that just came out of the oven, come here. Look at these top quality materials and gold and silver coins …”
This street is very special, how should I put it? It looks a bit like an ancient market in the television, where the vendors were all wearing long-distance running coats, which made me curious. At the same time, I was also a bit more interested in this street.
I started to look at the shops one by one. There were a lot of people shopping around, and they came and went unceasingly.
At this moment, I was standing in front of a bun house. Listening to the owner of the bun house yell, I felt a little hungry. The moment I opened the drawer of the steamed bun, a kiss came out from the bun house.
I greedily sniffed with my nose and walked closer to the bun house. I picked up a steamed bun and placed it in my mouth before gently taking a bite. ”Huh?” The taste was completely different from what I imagined.
How was this a steamed bun? When it entered his mouth, it was as if he was chewing on wax. Not only was it not soft, it was hard and bitter. There was also a faint smell of blood and mold.
”Pah pah …” I spit it out of my mouth and dropped the bun on the floor. As soon as I dropped it, the little fellow who was standing next to the box immediately grabbed my hand.
”You untactful girl. You are ruining my steamed bun. Hurry up and compensate me with one tael of silver …”
Hearing the waiter's words, my hand that was taking out the money from my pocket suddenly stopped. Silver?
Aiya, what the heck, isn't this going too far? My face was blank. In this era, where would I get you silver? Moreover, this steamed bun is too expensive, one silver tael.
I didn't care. I took a dollar out of my pocket and gave it to him.
”I'll give it to you. It's fine if the steamed buns are horrible to eat, but it's still so expensive. I can already buy four for a dollar!”
”What is this?” The short boss's one dollar bill was a bit of a shock.
”Money!”
