Chapter 520 Behind the Prosperity
Anzi was stunned by the grandeur of the didn't react. She observed for a while and then looked away.
The open square was not empty.
She found that the place was full of people. Most of them looked haggard, but their eyes were frighteningly bright. She saw a few or dozens of them divided into different groups, forming circles of different sizes.
Ran Ran leaned over to take a look and saw that the person standing in the middle of the circle formed by the locals was the trial-taker.
As for the reason, Ranran and the others received the same treatment a moment later.
"This young lady is so beautiful, please come to my house as a guest. I think even my humble house will feel honored!"
Ran Ran: I haven’t seen any shabby houses in this city.
"Oh! What a lovely boy! Look at his skin, which is whiter than milk. Oh my God, please come to my house as a guest! I think my daughter will be so happy that she will go crazy!"
Anzi: ...No, I'm afraid your daughter will really go crazy...
It was fine at first, with only a few people surrounding them and asking questions, but after a while, more and more people came.
Ranran and Anzi were almost surrounded by the crowd. Countless hands struggled to insert themselves through the gaps and pulled them. The owners of the hands shouted frantically: "Please come to my home!"
This was like a large-scale solicitation scene, except that these people's actions were much crazier than solicitation.
Being squeezed by so many people, with loud voices hitting her eardrums and disgusting smells attacking her sense of smell, Ranran felt like something was wrong with her. She was dizzy and could hardly calm down.
In a trance, she saw an old woman dressed in gray standing outside the crowd, staring at her.
She was wearing no ornaments at all, only a shabby grey gown.
Ranran looked at the crazy people around him again. Although their clothes could be considered rich, they lacked one thing - jewels. However, no matter how poor they were, they were much better than the old woman who was dressed simply.
As if something flashed through her mind, Ran Ran immediately pointed at the old woman, "Let's go live at her house."
The noisy sound stopped instantly, and the crowd that was constantly pushing and shoving seemed to have been paused. They looked in the direction of Ranran's finger, and resentful looks gradually appeared on their faces, as if someone had stolen something very important from them.
After Ranran and Anzi's residence was determined, the crowd surrounding them dispersed.
Ran Ran watched these people walk towards the new trial-taker who had just arrived at the square without stopping. Soon, a circle of enthusiasm was formed again.
She looked at the strange scene and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Her eyes were extremely dark, like an abyss that could not be seen clearly.
"Wow, those people are so enthusiastic." Anzi rubbed his little arm, and slowly saw a bruise there.
Very enthusiastic indeed.
Ranran smiled softly, but there was a hint of coldness on her brows.
She walked up to the old woman and said, "Old lady, I wonder if we can visit your home?"
The old woman's reaction was surprising, but also within Ranran's expectations.
She just glanced at Ran Ran and An Zi coldly: "I advise you to leave here now."
Sure enough, it was different. The old woman's words and deeds were incompatible with the others. Naturally, Ranran and the others would get completely opposite answers from the old woman.
Unlike the others' enthusiastic invitations, the old woman did not want the two of them to come to her house.
Ran Ran's eyes flashed with understanding, and he smiled and said, "I want to ask why."
The old woman sneered, "People as poor as you don't deserve to stay in this city!"
Anzi touched his nose and muttered softly: "Not enthusiastic... but very fierce..."
"But we have reasons to stay in the city and cannot leave." Ran Ran's face remained unchanged, and a clear voice followed. The old woman's face changed, as if she was angry: "You want to become a local here? Have you heard about it?"
"What did you hear?" Ran Ran asked quickly.
The old woman was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that they didn't know. After hesitating for a moment, the old woman said coldly: "You can live in my house, but everything must be arranged by me. If you don't obey, get out of this city."
She didn't give Ran Ran and An Zi any chance to choose, and said loudly and domineeringly: "Follow me now!"
Ranran seemed not to mind the old woman's bad attitude at all. She just followed the old woman. Anzi immediately followed Ranran.
Soon, they gradually moved away from the busy main road and walked towards the residential area.
Ran Ran noticed that the roads here can be said to be well-connected. There are roads everywhere that are as wide as the main roads, and there is a road almost every two or three households.
The roads in this city are like the lines on a chessboard, crisscrossing each other, and the buildings are like the empty spaces on the chessboard, distributed very neatly in the city.
Anzi suddenly leaned close to Ranran's ear and said, "Ranran, we can actually stay in a hotel. She's always mean to you and doesn't look like a good person."
"Those super enthusiastic people are not good, and this mother-in-law doesn't look good either."
Ran Ran's eyes flashed with a smile, and he asked back: "You dare to follow me when you don't look like a good person?"
Anzi had a confused expression on his face, he didn't even know what was going on, "This is the first time my feelings and intuition are fighting each other. This mother-in-law doesn't look like a good person, but I don't think she is a bad person."
The old woman in front turned her head and glared at Anzi, snorting, "I can hear you! And there are no hotels in our city!"
Anzi immediately shut his mouth obediently.
Speaking ill of others in front of them... He was so rude.
On the way, Ranran wanted to get some information about the city, but the old woman just said gloomily: "No one in this city will tell you anything, don't dream about it! Now follow me to rest!"
Ranran had no choice but to give up.
Along the way, every house had a light on. It was very bright at first, but as they went further and further away, the light became dimmer and dimmer.
The dizzying fragrance was also gradually weakening. Before Anzi could be happy, he smelled an increasingly obvious stench in the air.
carefulness
After sniffing, Anzi opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
The smell was coming from the old woman! And it was getting stronger and stronger!
It smells extremely disgusting, as if it can attack the human brain and make people want to vomit.
Oh my god, it was simply torturing his sense of smell! Anzi's face turned pale because of the stench. He tilted his head to look at Ranran, only to see that she looked normal, as if she didn't smell it.
Ran Ran actually smelled the smell as well, but she was concentrating on observing the old woman, so she couldn't care how bad it was.
She found that the old woman's back seemed to be getting more and more hunched, as if she was in great discomfort.
Later even Anzi noticed it because it was so obvious.
The two men saw that the old woman's back was lowered and tense, as if bent into a bow. Anzi could not ignore the stench emanating from her body, and he immediately denied the idea that the old lady was not a bad person.
Screw his uncle’s intuition, this is too scary!
Anzi kept an eye on the old woman, worried that she would suddenly turn into a wolf and eat him and Ranran.
He was alert and grabbed Ranran's sleeve in a cowardly manner.
Ranran felt it, but she didn't move.
The atmosphere between the three people was becoming increasingly tense, and Ranran was afraid of alerting the enemy.
Finally, the old woman walking in front stopped.
