I Have a City in a Different World

Next to the big tree at the entrance of a remote mountain village, young Agen was carrying a bundle of firewood and staring blankly into the distance.

At the end of the sight, on the other side of the mountain, it is said that there is a very large city.

Early tomorrow morning, he will go to that place and start working hard for his life.

The young man's mood was very complicated, full of hesitation and reluctance, but also a trace of expectation.

It is the choice of many young people to go to distant cities to find a job that can make money to support their families.

The barren and sparse land cannot support many people. In order to survive, young people in the village have to leave their homes.

Young people who left the village all said they wanted to return home in fine clothes, but after so many years, no such person has appeared.

The vast majority of young people who leave the village have fewer and fewer contacts, until eventually they are no longer heard from.

Whether he rose to prominence or died in a foreign land, no one knows.

The young man has many brothers in his family, and now it’s time to go out and make a living.

If it is really money, it can be regarded as a filial piety.

According to the request of the man in white robe, he signed the contract after being sober for many years.

Then your smile was fixed on your face.

Four years' worth of banknotes, one hundred blank contracts worth one year's worth, now belong to many years.

His humble fate will also be reversed. "

A stack of colorful small-denomination banknotes and a stack of yellow contract paper with red patterns were all handed over to the person after many years of meeting.

I immediately withdrew my gaze and prepared to return to my home.

"Where did he get such a small note?"

Outside the village in the distance, young people basically have to go through this process when they go out and wander around.

At a cross-shaped position, there was a piece of dry bark placed outside the hole, and something seemed to be rolled outside.

Having one more person outside the home will make life more comfortable.

When Yang Shou's mother said that, tears came out of her eyes again. You know the origin of the money, and you are afraid that your child will do something stupid.

The moment his fingers touched the contract, a piece of information flooded into his mind, allowing Nuan Yang to understand his gains and losses.

The mother was still wiping tears, wondering if she heard her son's words.

As long as you let yourself go, I can agree to any conditions.

"The reason for forgetting that matter is to mention it to others. If someone comes to visit you one day, you can deny seeing the money even if you beat him to death.

There is no intermediary to guide the villagers to the labor market outside the city and help them find jobs.

The man in white robes behind his eyes must be a legendary ghost, trying to take away his life at this moment.

Early in the morning on the seventh day, Nuan Nuan was carrying his backpack across his body and was completely prepared for a long journey.

Similar farewells happen every year, and the villagers have not noticed it for a long time.

Yang Shou's mother returned home and remembered what her son had told her, so she came to the landlord's position.

Under the century-old tree at the entrance of the village, a strange man appeared at some point and was looking at him quietly.

As a thank you, the villagers have to pay the other party a sum of money.

Years was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he could not help but tremble.

"Yang Shou heard my mother say that you have to fight with others inside. You will suffer some losses and put in less effort. If you can get peace, it will be bad."

Without that amount of money, the younger son will be able to marry a wife, and the little girl’s dowry will have to be pretty good..."

How could you give such a small amount of money to others cautiously? I would doubt it even to death.

He hid things secretly and returned home for many years, pretending that nothing had happened.

In the next time, we will walk down the 700-odd road until we reach the outside of the city.

I think those colorful papers should be money, but the man in white robe is deceiving himself.

The mother kept telling her, tears wet her eyes.

There are not many people outside the village who want to leave with me. We are on a journey.

The white robe under the strange man was made of some unknown material and flowed down like a waterfall in the mountains.

Those who had been traveling for many years joined the team that appeared at the entrance of the village under the watchful eyes of their families.

My father was holding his head high and sighing from time to time, and a group of brothers and sisters also looked worried.

Xie Yan smiled weakly and nodded vigorously.

As soon as he turned around, he froze on the spot.

With a gentle sigh, Agen was ready to go home and prepare for tomorrow's trip.

Suddenly receiving a small amount of money, a poor couple was really depressed, but even less felt relieved.

When he came back to his senses, there was a trace of calmness on his expression.

After the contract was signed, the white-robed man disappeared without a trace after many years.

"What is he going to do?"

Agen knew almost nothing about the outside world.

Eight hands...

For many years in my village, I also carried small and large packages and went to make a living in distant places.

My heart was full of surprises, but I had no time to pay attention to it. I was focused on getting out of the crisis.

The boy has never left home since he was a child, and rarely even sees people outside the village.

Therefore, I am not a human being. One banknote from this stack is equivalent to my family's income for a year.

Others don't care, and think that a poor mountain villager who has lived in poverty for many years can leave something bad to his mother.

Unexpectedly, this man in white robe, as bad as a paper man, suddenly floated in front of me.

It's funny to say that Yang Shou has never seen small-denomination banknotes once since he was a child.

Contracts and banknotes have been known to each other for many years.

The man in white robe looked at Yang Shou and stretched out his hands urgently.

Under the grass behind me, there were banknotes and blank contracts.

After years of making up my mind, when I leave home tomorrow, I will secretly leave a note and tell my mother.

Yang Shou felt a hint of anger from under the other party, and felt a faint sense of fear in his heart.

The villagers dispersed slowly, busy with their own affairs.

"That's what Yang Shou left behind. I asked you to go to the landlord to look for it. I didn't expect it to be so little money..."

The man named Yang Shou reminded his mother in a low voice at the last moment after leaving the village.

The woman who was working looked at the items in her wife's hands and fell into a sluggish state.

"Mom, don't forget to go to the landlord, you left something here!"

Although the parents were reluctant to give up, they had no choice. The family property could only be passed on to the eldest son, and the other children had no property to divide at all.

Such a weird sight has made my scalp numb for many years. How can a special person not have eight arms?

It's because I went to school, and I know a word.

The intermediary sitting under the bullock cart is patiently urging people to say goodbye to their families in a hurry.

Looking at the white-robed man for many years, he asked with a trembling voice, his dirty face full of fear.

The woman had seen those banknotes of the smallest denomination before, but she never expected them to appear in the hands of her own man.

After years of confusion, a bony arm stretched out from the white robe.

My father held a few banknotes in his hands, held firm for a long time, and finally stamped his foot hard.

At that moment, my mind was filled with legends about various monsters and monsters. Stories about these mountain spirits and monsters taking human lives had scared me so much that I dared to go out to pee at night more than once.

After years of being relaxed, the man in white robe suddenly said: "Touch the contract with his finger and pay Agen for ten years, and all those things will belong to him.

Pull out the bark and untie it

But he also wanted to show it to others so as not to cause trouble for himself.

This face was covered by a hood, and it was impossible to see his face clearly, but he could feel that the other person was looking at him.

As the woman spoke, her voice became higher and higher, ending with a long sigh.

There was a smile on the mother's face, because no matter what it was, it was just a thought left by her son.

"Master, please wait and see!"

My first reaction was that of surprise, but not of fear that it would bring trouble to my family.

It took more than ten seconds before he came back to his senses, grabbed the things in his hand and rushed to the front yard.

Holding the banknotes in his hand, Xie Yan had a puzzled expression on his face.

For many years, Xie Yan didn't have a clear concept, and he only wanted to get rid of safety.

Instead of many years in my village, a team was formed and followed the bullock cart back quickly.

The Bai Bangren's tone was full of temptation, but Yang Shou's heart was at a loss.
