Using the system to raise beautiful, strong and miserable villains

Chapter 32: Same city, two different people

"We're finally here. Sister Xiao Zhao, look quickly. The Wasteland City is ahead. If we speed up a little bit, we can probably enter the city before noon..."

On the way to Wasteland City, the four of them walked from the desert full of yellow sand to the Gobi wasteland with rugged rocks, and then from the Gobi wasteland to the dry land full of splendens, then to gravel soil, then to the river, and finally... Go to the towering snow-capped mountains in the distance, stand on the rugged slopes covered with short grass, and look in the direction of Zhou Caifeng's finger. In front of you, in the plain valley surrounded by lakes, there is an earth-yellow city, with a fall on the edge of the city. With sporadic greenery.

This earth-yellow city is what Zhou Caifeng and his grandson called the Wasteland City.

"Hey, sister Xiao Zhao, sister Xiao Zhao? Why are you so dazed? Can't you pull Mr. Shen away? How about you, sister Xiao Zhao, take a break and I can help you instead?"

Li Zhao was observing the city in front of him when an urging came from the side.

Seeing that the opponent's hand was reaching out impatiently, Li Zhao quickly refused, "No, no, thank you Sister Caifeng. I can do it. You'd better go and call Grandpa Zhou."

Just kidding, my own brother has a temper. He wanted to stay away from this attentive sister along the way. His attitude was polite and distant, and he was so defensive inside. How could she not see it?

Just like that, how dare he let her touch him?
"Oh, Sister Xiao Zhao is so polite. We are all so familiar with each other..." Balabala...

"Caifeng!"

Li Zhao refused Zhou Caifeng but refused. If the old man hadn't sternly stopped her and took her away, she would have been hard-pressed to refuse and was a little tired of dealing with it.

To be honest, in her last life, she was a bit of a bully, but now that she meets this person, she has to feel ashamed of herself, and she can’t stop yelling!
Following Zhou Caifeng, who was unhappy with his mouth raised, a group of four people gradually approached the city.

Li Zhao observed carefully. They entered through the east gate of Wasteland City. Maybe it was because the population of Wasteland City was small?Or is this wrong? This is the time when everyone is busy?
At the moment, there were people queuing up at the gate of Nancheng, waiting to enter the city. Apart from three or five people dressed like grandfathers and grandsons of the Zhou family, there were only pedestrians with two or three kittens and a few dung pickers carrying woven baskets on their backs.

Go to the right when entering the city, and go to the left when leaving the city. The two teams are parallel, and the inspection speed is not slow.

Li Zhao secretly observed and kept it in mind. When she saw Zhou Caifeng, who kept turning back to wave to them, being pulled by the old man to the front of the queue, she quickly pulled people to follow.

Along the way, Li Zhao didn't know that the old man didn't like his brother and sister this week, and he never had a good face, but why did he still point to them to lead the way, so Li Zhao and Shen Xi tolerated it.

At this moment, the city was in sight, the crowds were visible, and even the huge red arrow jumped out to show its existence. Li Zhao couldn't care less about the old man Zhou's dark face. She was a little excited and eager to try.

Check in and check in!I don’t know what good things will come out of today’s check-in. This is a city! A city!

Pulling Shen Xi into the queue behind the Zhou family's grandfather and grandson, taking advantage of the gap in the queue to enter the city, Shen Xi, who noticed that Li Zhao's expression was wrong, patted her hand and met Shen Xi's gaze. Li Zhao smiled mischievously. Smile, Chen Xi is decisive and clear.

After his observation, his Xiao Zhao was always distracted when signing in, and his expression was strange. Just in case, he had to cover up his child.

In this way, Chen Xi motioned to Li Zhao to pull him forward so that he could stand side by side with the Zhou family's grandfather and grandson. He patted the place next to him before deliberately saying: "Xiao Zhao, I'm thirsty. Help brother get the water bag."

Li Zhao responded hurriedly, bent down and stretched out her hand, while going to the box to get the water bag, she decisively punched in and signed in. When she saw the screen full of copper plates, Li Zhao smiled.

Auntie, I finally have money!
He raised his head excitedly and put the water bag into Shen Xi's hand. Li Zhao was about to offer the treasure, but Shen Xi secretly shook his head at her, took two sips of the water bag, and then handed the water bag to Li Zhao.

"Thank you, Xiao Zhao."

"You're welcome my brother."

Li Zhao was discouraged and slumped his shoulders. Who knows what it feels like to have so much joy and not be able to share it with friends, family members!
However, before she could slump down for two minutes, a big dark hand suddenly stretched out in front of her eyes.Li Zhao?

Li Zhao's attitude made the swarthy man in front of him, wearing rattan armor and holding a red tasseled spear, frown. He didn't close his open hands, but his tone was clear: "Is this a stranger, little girl? This is your first time in the wilderness?"

"Yeah." Li Zhao nodded.

The city guard looked Li Zhao and Shen Xi up and down and said, "I am a stranger without a household. Please pay the entrance fee of [-] cents per head."

Li Zhao was dumbfounded.

Woo hoo hoo, she just signed for a hundred copper coins, dear, her pocket wasn't even warm, so she was almost half gone?Do you want to hear this?
Li Zhao was disappointed, and Shen Xi beside him was also anxious.

He and Xiao Zhao were penniless, and now they had to pay entry fees to enter the city, which was embarrassing for them.

Chen Xi quickly thought about how they should pass this level, otherwise what materials would they have on hand to overcome it?Chen Xi then shouted: "Xiao Zhao."

His thoughts were interrupted by Shen Xi's shout, and Li Zhao came back to his senses and looked at the person in front of him. Li Zhao instantly understood the urgency in his brother's eyes.

He didn't have time to tell him the money he got from signing in. Seeing that he was anxious now, Li Zhao hurriedly put his head to Shen Xi's ear and whispered to comfort him: "Brother Seventeen, don't worry, I have money."

"Rich?" Shen Xi raised his eyebrows in surprise. It was obvious that they were all poor and penniless, but Li Zhao nodded calmly, "Yes, rich!"

Afraid that his brother wouldn't believe it, Li Zhao patted the straw bag he was carrying with his little hand and winked at Chen Xi.

Shen Xi understood instantly, and the guilt in his heart increased even more. Shen Xi, who was heartbroken, couldn't help but raise his hand to touch Li Zhao's forehead, "Good boy, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Zhao."

Li Zhao waved his hand nonchalantly, "Hey, what's the point of this?" Feeling the urging look from the sergeant beside him, Li Zhao said no more and hurriedly comforted the boss brother, "Okay, okay, Brother Seventeen, please wait. Don’t worry, I’ll pay you the entrance fee, and we’ll enter the city right away.”

"Okay, let's go."

Turning around and looking back, Li Zhao tightened the straw rope on his back and pulled the person two steps closer. While sighing at Goldfinger's father's agility, he pretended to be honest and took out the money from the straw bag beside him. The hot forty dollars were handed over to me with pain in my body.

The city guarding sergeant collected the money and waved it away. Li Zhao did not dare to delay and quickly led Shen Xi into the city.

Only then did he raise his feet, and saw at a glance that when the Zhou family's grandfather and grandson were being interrogated by the soldiers in front of him, Master Zhou did not pay for it. Instead, he took out a wooden sign from his arms and handed it to the soldiers. After taking a quick look, Li Zhao waved his hand and let him go. Li Zhao was surprised.

Following Li Zhao, he glanced around and found that in fact, it was not just the Zhou family's grandchildren who were carrying this kind of sign in and out of the city. There were many people before and after who were doing the same. Li Zhao was puzzled and entered the city. That’s all, is this treated differently?
There was an urging from behind, and Li Zhao quickly pulled Shen Xi through the city gate. Looking at Zhou Caifeng, who was approaching again, Li Zhao didn't understand and asked.

"Sister Caifeng, what was that wooden sign that Mr. Zhou held when he entered the city just now?"

Zhou Caifeng is so shrewd. When she heard Li Zhao ask this question, and looked at Li Zhao's expression, she smiled, also intending to please, and immediately pointed it out.

"Hey, little girl, you're quite smart. You asked me if the wooden sign is fake, but you want to ask why two cities in the same city treat us people differently? I want to ask why we don't have to pay the entry and exit fee for the people holding the wooden sign. It's real. Bar?"
