"Hey—you!"
The stall owner swallowed hard, and stretched his neck to look for Joyna in the crowd.
But Joyna has long since disappeared, where can she still see people?
"Snapped!"
After standing for a while, the vendor held the money in one hand and slapped him with the other hand!
The burning pain on his face, this slap is not only to wake him up to see if he is dreaming; secondly, it is also to punish himself for being so arrogant.
I didn't expect to set up a stall here for several years and read countless people, but today I even missed it.
At first, he thought that Joyna was a scavenger, but he didn't expect that the other party turned out to be such a rich man!
After leaving the stall, Joyna began to speed up and ran out of the market all the way.
After running out of the market, Joyna's speed became completely expanded, and she rushed towards the south of the city that the stall owner said.
The prosperity of the southern city is indeed better than seeing it. There are more buildings here than the northern area, but it is also more dilapidated. The architectural styles of the houses are all kinds of strange, scattered high and low, and it looks like the old city of the hidden sand castle.
It seems that the people here have just experienced a carnival. The high platform made of wooden frames has not been removed. The nearby ground is full of garbage, most of which are soaked by rain and dirty.
Several drunk men were lying under the trees by the roadside, laughing and talking nonsense to each other, as if they were talking about the beautiful female slaves they saw today.
The slave market that had just been traded was quickly occupied by other traders and loudly sold, but people's enthusiasm seemed to cool down as the slave trade ended, and they saw more and bought less.
Georgina paid attention to what other people were talking about and walked slowly. She saw a woman who was thin to the point of being a stubble being pushed aside, and the jar in her hand rolled down and rolled right to her feet.
"Go away!"
A strong man threatened the woman viciously, and spat on the ground with his waist on his back, "I don't have money to sell water, but I can't steal it? Don't let me see you again, it's a good beating if you see it!"
Behind the strong man was a dilapidated large iron tank car with an old horse in front of it with two logs tied to it. There was a faucet on the big tin can, and the handle of the faucet had turned into a shiny metallic primary color after being touched thousands of times.
"I beg you, just get me some water... My man is sick and he hasn't had water for two days..."
The thin-skinned woman got up and began to plead bitterly, not wanting to brush off the dirt on her body.
Her pupils were like polished black gems, and there was helplessness in her eyes, as if she had not given up hope.
"Don't get out of here, don't stand in the way, don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"It's none of my business when your man is sick. If you want water, you can buy it with money!" After the strong man finished speaking, he continued to greet other customers who bought water, ignoring the thin woman at all.
The people next to him seemed to be used to this kind of thing, and they also coaxed, "You're out of money, you'd better do some flesh-and-blood trading for money!"
"Stealing water without money? Why don't you pick up the rainwater? That one doesn't need money!"
"Hahaha--"
Hearing this, the surrounding people burst into laughter.
Joyna's face changed slightly. She didn't expect clean water to be sold in the hidden sand castle.
She bent down to pick up the jar, walked over to the woman, and returned the jar to her.
The woman took the jar blankly, her eyes dull.
She just stared straight at the water gushing out of the tap, and said nothing, not even a word of thanks to Joyna.
Joyna shook her head slightly, watching people queuing up to fetch water, paying with one hand and delivering with one hand, and had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"I paid for her and sold her a jar of water," Joyner said after looking at it for a moment.
Hearing this, the thin-skinned woman suddenly raised her head.
Seeing Joyna's face hidden in the shadow cast by the elongated hood, her eyes were looking at her brightly, and she was stunned.
These eyes seem to be glowing!
"What, what did you say, you want to pay for her?" After a few seconds, the strong man turned his head and looked at Joyna with a stunned expression.
"Yes, fill her jar, and I'll give you the money."
Joyna took out a coin from her small bag, threw it to the strong man, and said, "Is this enough money to buy several jars? Give her the rest as well, as long as she comes, you don't care. Time to sell it to her."
The crowd began to whisper and whisper, and everyone showed some kind of strange expression that couldn't be said.
"Ha- okay, bring it here."
The strong man with a gloomy face stretched out his hand, grabbed the jar from the thin woman's hand, filled it with water, and handed it back.
The woman held the jar in one hand and glanced at Joyna, but still didn't say a word.
"Hmph, it looks like you're not a local, right?" The strong man scratched his cheeks, and he didn't forget to say something inexplicable after finishing his work.
"So what?" Joyner raised her brows slightly.
"It's nothing, a stranger, you have to pay some tuition..." The strong man continued to do business, and he didn't look at Joyna, and muttered.
Um, what do you mean?
Joyna stood there, her eyes narrowed, and she immediately began to ponder the meaning of this sentence.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a slight tremor on her body, as if someone was stealing her purse from behind!
Rao is Joyna's quick response, reaching out like lightning and grabbing that sinful, dirty hand!
"Uh...you!"
Joyna lowered her head and glanced, her face stiffened, her thoughts suddenly fluctuated violently, and then she stood still for five seconds.
"why are you?"
She saw a small, dry wrist in her hand—but it was strong. In the eyes of the woman who was thin to the point of hemp, like polished black gems, there was a look of fear and complexity in her eyes.
In shock, Joyna slowly released her palm, still with a look of disbelief.
When Joyna let go of her palm, the woman immediately turned around and fled in panic with the jar, without saying a word, disappearing into the crowd.
Clean water is an important resource for Yinsha Castle, which comes from a year-round mountain spring in the west of the city. Now this lifeline has been controlled by the Xuanming Gang for many years, and a water diversion pipeline has been built for this purpose and introduced into the city~www.wuxiaspot.com~ However, the only water outlet is surrounded by a brick wall. Watchtowers and outposts, protected day and night by gang thugs.
Every morning, there will be water sellers lining up to fetch water, and then selling it along the streets.
Most of the money from these water sales was taken away by the Xuanming Gang and turned into the daily expenses of the gang.
At this moment, Joyner was clutching the purse.
Her mind is very confused now, and the steps under her feet are slow and heavy, and she has completely lost the heroic mood when she was helping people pay.
She heard a burst of laughter behind her, and the crowd's voice grew louder, as if many people were waiting to see this scene, which seemed normal to them.
Only now did Joyna finally understand what the strong man who sold water meant.
Incomprehensible!
Have the people of this era fallen to such a level?
