Doomsday rat

Not long after Hong Tao and his party left the small building, a small commotion broke out at the gate of the courtyard.Sun Ning from Zhongyi Transportation Company came to visit suddenly. After hearing about this incident, he pointed at Hu Yang, Wang Gang and others and cursed them, calling them ungrateful, mercenary and ungrateful villains.

If it weren't for the presence of plainclothes and security teams from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the two sides would probably have a bloodbath.Even if there was no fight on the spot, the unresolved hatred between the two families must have deepened.

Sun Ning publicly announced that in the future, as long as the vehicles of the Ping An Transportation Company appear in the east of the city, they will not be able to return easily.Although the conflict between the two old and new transportation companies has long been known to everyone, this is the first time that they have been torn openly.

"He who knows current affairs is a brilliant man. Manager Hu and Manager Wang, you two have made great progress. I wish you a prosperous business!" Watching Sun Ning and his group's carriage gradually go away, Zhang Qian turned his head and said something to Hu Yang and Wang Gang It sounds awkward, but there's nothing wrong with it as a compliment.

He also heard the news from Sun Feihu this morning, and regardless of the rain outside, he immediately gathered all his subordinates and rushed over without delay.

Would a person who dared to kill even the minister of the alliance, almost wiped out a refugee transport team, and could break into the zombie group to find the living corpse alone, be humiliated so easily?

He felt absolutely not, whoever did this would face a bigger murder.God knows if all the weapons of that person were confiscated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Even if he didn't have guns, whoever said that knives can't kill people.

Hurry up slowly, and finally the situation did not escalate, but the scene was really embarrassing.The creation of the alliance is too long ago, and many people, including him, have never experienced it.But how the Ping An Transportation Company came to be is no longer a secret since the case of the German embassy and the Olympian farm were solved.

On a rainy night last autumn, a group of refugees who had just arrived in the safe zone from the Northwest region were exploited by local snakes before they could stand still.The ending is very tragic, not for the refugees but for local snakes.Almost all of them were wiped out, and now witnesses and material evidence all show that Hong Tao took the lead.

In order to let his partners have a home, he bought this small building with the money he snatched from Youlong Company, and then took the lead in going deep into the red zone, starting from the doors, windows, bricks and tiles, like ants moving house, he was busy almost every night, hard Shengsheng repaired most of it before winter.

Afterwards, I got in touch with several bigwigs in the southern security zone, and resolved the conflict between the two parties with a few words, and then obtained the transport team license through the relationship.In less than three months, they have reached a level that most refugees would not be able to achieve after a lifetime of hard work.

But this is just the beginning, the refugees led by him are tough, and the transport team with him is equally fierce.The first time I passed by Jinmen Port, I attacked and killed a group of reselling vagrants there. Although no one knows the whole process of the incident so far, the ending is quite comfortable.

The next thing is to get acquainted with the Limin motorcade, relying on our own strength to gain a foothold step by step, and finally seize the opportunity when it comes, a small transportation team forcibly propped up a transportation company, and the colossus-like long The two veteran transportation companies, Feng and Zhongyi, fought against each other in the air, and they never lost the wind.

In order to allow the Ping An Transportation Company, which is still in its infancy, to have a relatively stable growth period, he once again got into the dark underground tunnel alone, stirring up the entire safety zone and even the entire alliance by himself. .

Ordinarily, as a law enforcement officer, Zhang Qian should not like what Hong Tao did.This kind of person is too prickly, too bold, and too unconstrained, and there are not many of them, as long as there are one or two, it will have a great negative impact on the local order and management.

But if you want to say hate, you can't hate it anyway.It was a bit too easy and too casual for him to kill. He didn't care about the identity, status, or background of the opponent, from the minister of the alliance to the low-level gangster.

It sounds like killing innocent people indiscriminately, but after careful consideration of what these people did, they were really not innocent victims.One counts as one, and I dare not say that all of them are heinous, and they deserve it.

Let's look at what he did after the transportation company grew up. The commission for the delivery of the car was at least doubled, so that the drivers who had to travel around all day with their heads up and down, but eventually turned over most of their income to the company. It is really possible to live affluently through hard work.

I have had face-to-face contact with him many times, and even confronted him, but I never felt that this cheeky and slick guy was the main messenger behind Ping An Transportation Company.Looking back now, I seem to have some experience. There is indeed an indescribable smell in those eyes, which is different from ordinary people.

But right now, the old man who built the transportation company with his own hands has almost become a lost dog. The alliance said he is a model of murderer and selfishness. His buddies who arrived in the capital from the northwest also chose to protect themselves wisely.

Even though Zhang Qian is neither a royalist nor a reformist, and he is not interested in the struggles of the upper class, just from the perspective of being a human being, he is disgusted with such a cold world.Even if there is an old superior among the shareholders of Ping An Transportation Company, he still hates it.

On the contrary, it was Sun Ning, who had always had a bad reputation and had dominated the safe zone in the east of the city for several years. Today, he couldn't help but look at him with admiration.Everyone in the safe zone knows why the Zhongyi Transportation Company is wading through this muddy water.

Without Hong Tao, it would be difficult for Sun Ning and nearly a hundred coachmen led by him to return to the safe zone.Repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred, this is the simplest moral concept of human beings.

No matter how much Sun Ning is usually worthless, this time he kept the moral bottom line, so he can still be called a person, and even a man.On the other hand, people like Hu Yang and Wang Gang always talk about friendship and righteousness.

But then the serf turned over and sang for a few days, and then he had forgotten his roots, and began to betray the benefactor who had fought side by side for profit.If anyone is still willing to associate with this kind of person, he is either a bastard or a good-for-nothing.

"This is a decision made by all the shareholders, and Brother Shu himself didn't object!" Hu Yang's dark face was expressionless, and he turned around and drove the drivers back to the yard.Wang Gang's face was dark and red, and he wanted to distinguish a few words for himself.

"That's right, all the shareholders are so righteous. I'm sure I don't mind changing it. If you want to blame, you can blame him. If you don't want to be a good alliance director, you have to run back to find a home. Now he is dumbfounded. As long as he has you Half of the awareness will not be mixed up to this point, it deserves it!"

To say that Zhang Qian's mouth is bad enough, he doesn't use dirty words when swearing.Coupled with his status as the squadron leader of the security team, Wang Gang almost suffered internal injuries, his chest heaved violently, his hands clenched into fists and he stared blankly for a long time, and finally he could only turn around and enter the courtyard gate.

"From today on, a post will be added on the road leading to the red zone in this district, strictly inspecting prohibited items, whoever dares to engage in favoritism and cheating, don't blame me for not being sympathetic!" Zhang Qian is not only talking about words, but also taking practical actions.

As a member of the security team, he understands the details of the work and life of the refugees better than the field staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he can be more precise and ruthless when attacking them.Moreover, this sentence was not arranging work for his subordinates in private, but he said it loudly to Wang Gang's back, which is similar to Sun Ning's declaration of war just now.

Chapter 932 New Seventh District

"Tsk tsk tsk... I thought people like Section Chief Wang were rare, but I didn't expect to see two of them this morning!"

The scene that happened at the entrance of the small building was not only seen clearly by the refugees nearby, but also by the plainclothes officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were on duty here, including Wang Jian who slept in the carriage every night. There is also Lan Yu'er who came over temporarily for inspection.

"It's normal. The higher you go, the fewer people like this. It's very cold at the top."

Wang Jian's complexion is also not much better than Wang Gang's. He heard about Hong Tao's expulsion from the company early in the morning from Lan Yu'er.The director of the Intelligence Bureau obviously has a special channel in the senior management of Ping An Transportation Company, otherwise he would not have come to watch the fun early in the morning.

But he can't intervene in the affairs of the refugees, let alone use the power in his hands to vent his inner dissatisfaction in a reasonable way like Zhang Qian.The only thing that can be done is to send a few more men to follow the carriage to the New Seventh District, do a good job as bodyguards, and try their best to prevent Hong Tao from being bullied by dogs again.

"Hehe, Section Chief Wang has been here for a few days, and his level has improved very quickly. He will turn around and curse people... I heard that he came out in the middle of the night and whispered to you for a long time. Did he teach you these things? of?"

Lan Yuer was still very sensitive to Wang Jian's cynicism, and immediately counterattacked.The way and method are very suitable for her identity. It sounds plain and unremarkable, but in essence it is extremely sinister.

"It's really inspiring. I seem to like this job more and more. If Director Lan is not satisfied, he can transfer someone else to take over." Regarding these baseless and very sensitive accusations, Wang Jian did not deny that he accepted them all. , and then earnestly asked for instructions on the next step.

"Don't pretend to be ignorant with me. No one is willing to step into the muddy water at this time except you and Chief Jia. Chief Jia still has Niu Dafu's case to be tried, so you are duty-bound.

But Wang Jian, I still want to remind you, you must be careful when you arrive in the seventh district.The new immigrant population in Xinjiang Province there accounts for less than half of the population. Among them are both rebels and redeemers. Most of the old Sabalin Ministry also live there. The situation is very complicated, and the support that the Ministry can provide is limited. "

It was no coincidence that Lan Yuer came here early in the morning. She came here to give Wang Jian a vaccination.Ever since the Intelligence Bureau learned that Hong Tao's resignation application had been approved by the Ping An Transportation Company's general meeting of shareholders last night, she hadn't closed her eyes in the middle of the night and read a lot of relevant materials, but she still didn't gain anything.

But she is very sure that Hong Tao was not driven away by the shareholders of Ping An Transportation Company.Because there were non-staff members of the Intelligence Bureau among these shareholders, he only received a short-term notice from Sun Feihu after he arrived at the Third Ring Entertainment City, and he had to vote as a last resort.

After Lin Na learned of the situation, she went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask Zhou Yuan without even having breakfast.

"It's normal to get more help than others, it's normal...Look at him, he gave away a pistol in public when he met Captain Hong for the first time. I asked him why he did this, isn't he afraid of getting into trouble because of it? He said that if the alliance If good people are treated as trouble here, then there is no need to stay any longer.

Look at you and me again, because of the so-called responsibility, we dare not deal with bad things, and dare not arrest bad people.Sometimes I can't figure it out, if this kind of responsibility can't protect good people and punish bad people, what's the use of guarding it? "

If it weren't for the conversation the night before yesterday, Wang Jian would definitely be very worried about the security work in the new seventh district.As Lan Yuer said, the personnel structure there is too complicated and too unclear. Although many local refugees have been transferred from various safe areas to mix sand, it is a long-term solution and will not have much effect in the short term.

But at this moment, he felt much calmer. Even if he didn't understand why Hong Tao left Ping An Transportation Company and Xiaolou, he didn't worry much about the security work in the New Seventh District.No reason, just a feeling.

"Feihu, did you see that there must be an eyeliner from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the company. Only the shareholders present know the decision we made last night. Director Lan came here early in the morning, unless she has a sixth sense!"

From Hong Tao's departure to Sun Ning's disturbance to Zhang Qian's appearance, the two people on the top floor of the Xiushan apartment diagonally across the road caught their eyes, including Lan Yu'er's sudden appearance.

"You still have to think carefully, otherwise you will lose like me back then!" Feihu Sun put down the binoculars, deeply convinced by his wife's speculation.

The day before yesterday, when he learned that Hong Tao was going to set off another homeless storm, he immediately decided to join without any hesitation, but he disagreed with his wife on whether to develop the company's shareholders as allies.

Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. Facts have proved that I am still immature in this area. I fell down once that year, and now I almost fell down a second time in the same place.Convinced, and encountering this kind of problem in the future, Feihu Sun decided to listen to his wife.

"Has everything been properly arranged in the New Seventh District? The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a very good eyeliner. If you don't think carefully, you will be taken advantage of." Mrs. Xiushan also held a telescope. Jane turned her back to this side, so she couldn't see the movement of her lips clearly.

"Don't worry, the people who went there this time all followed me to Maicheng back then... Why did you say he had to go to the New Seventh District? The situation there is too complicated. Except for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, all forces are desperately trying to get in there. On the bright side, more than a dozen people have died due to weapon fighting this month, and our hands can't reach it!"

In fact, Feihu Sun is not stupid, he learned a lot from a pitfall, so he was more careful, more careful, and more careful about this mission.In order not to attract attention, he didn't even dare to use too many personnel from the construction company, but used all the old relationships from that year, which was his last resort.

"It's easy to deal with chaos. He has been in Xinjiang Province for ten years, so he shouldn't be afraid..."

Mrs. Xiushan also asked this question at the beginning, why did she choose the extremely unstable New Seventh District instead of the other old safe districts that are better controlled.As a result, I only got an ambiguous answer: the old has the old disadvantages, and the new has new advantages.

What are the shortcomings of the old safe zone, and where are the advantages of the new safe zone? I'm afraid not only Mrs. Xiushan and Sun Feihu are thinking about it, but many people are also racking their brains.But they've been thinking about it all, and I'm afraid they won't get the answer.

There is only one reason why Hong Tao went to the New Seventh District to find a new foothold. He was always ready to escape!I have said so many rhetoric and made so many gestures. It cannot be said that they are all false moves, but it cannot be said that they are all real moves.

It has always been his style to act in the false, the real in the false, and the false in the real. Sometimes even he himself is not quite sure whether it is more false or more real, or more on one side?

In April, the new six districts were completed and officially included in the sequence of the southern safety zone. The total area is less than 6 square kilometers, and it can accommodate up to 3 people.The usual standard population density is controlled at about 1 people. If there are too many, it is not because there are not enough houses to live in, but because the supply of water and electricity will be relatively tight.

Since the end of March, the coalition government has mobilized a large number of engineers and refugees to the west of the New Sixth District, and continued to use the middle area between the third and fourth ring roads as the core area to start the construction of the New Seventh District.

Compared with the new sixth district, the construction speed of the new seventh district has almost doubled.Before the arrival of winter, the capital safety zone still needs to accept at least 3 immigrants from Xinjiang province. In order to complete the construction of the new safety zone, even the excavation of the moat has been temporarily stopped.

According to the plan, New Seventh District starts from Chengshousi Road in the east and reaches Liuxiang Road in the west. The total area is about the same as that of New Sixth District. After completion, it can completely meet the living needs of new immigrants.

After returning to the small building, apart from receiving visitors, Hong Tao spent most of his time studying the map, including the planning map of the safety zone obtained from Feihu Sun.Soon, I found a location that was more suitable for my needs, the Songjiazhuang Transportation Hub Building!

This place is very familiar. When Hong Tao first came to the safety zone in the south of the city, Hong Tao took Populus euphratica and the others to pan for gold in the red zone. This is the place where he reached the farthest and where he gained the most. He gained a lot from the parked electric bus and can still use it. power battery.

Chapter 933

At present, this building has been planned as the largest residential area in the New Seventh District. Although this area is densely covered with dozens of hundreds of high-rise buildings, it is limited by infrastructure such as going up and down, water and water, so it is suitable for survivors to live in. Most of them are low-rise buildings.

This transportation hub building just happened to meet all the conditions. It has only four floors, but occupies a large area. It is a gate-shaped building.There is an opening on the east side, and a large parking lot is surrounded in the middle, which can also become the residents’ yard.

In addition, there are also two floors of the same huge underground garage. Although it is not suitable for living, it is very convenient to use as a warehouse, market or even a small factory.The most important thing is that centralized management is easy, without separate water supply and power supply, it can be done together with the living space above, which saves a lot of preliminary work.

In the same situation, there is a low-rise building in a similar condition at the northwest corner of the intersection. It used to be a multi-purpose shopping center, but now it has become the second largest settlement in the New Seventh District.

What is most likely to occur in densely populated places?Whether in the old world or the end of the world, there is only one answer, business!As long as there is exchange, there must be businessmen.

It is said that when the first batch of immigrants in Xinjiang Province first moved in, small merchants and peddlers rushed from the nearby safe zone like flies that smelled the smell, carrying a lot of money and goods, not only selling but also purchasing, some bought There are sales, and the business is booming.

Gradually, some of the new immigrants from Xinjiang province also discovered this business opportunity with agility, and immediately joined the group of traders.It doesn't matter if there are no shops that are sheltered from the wind and rain. There are abandoned high-rise buildings all around. I can't find anything else. I get some broken window frames and piece them together, and then cover them with a piece of felt. Isn't it a ready-made stall, sheltered from the wind and rain and protected from light.

The group of businessmen is the most innovative no matter what time it is. As long as there is money to be made, no matter how difficult the conditions are, their enthusiasm cannot be stopped.In less than three months, the intersection has become a spontaneous market, and it is getting bigger and bigger with the continuous influx of new immigrants.

Since the New Seventh District is still under construction, the alliance government has no time to set up too many management departments. There is no need to pay taxes or stall fees for setting up a stall here. As long as you can find an open space, whoever will occupy it first will count. It can also be opened by laying a piece of cloth on the ground.

Of course, there are risks as well as benefits.Without a specific management department, there will naturally be no order, because quarrels and quarrels will happen at any time due to booth issues, and it is not new to catch up with violent people and fights.

Those who have the capital to sell the goods make the difference, and those who have no capital can also find a way, so there are two more industries. Dare to sell!

There is another one that is older, that is, the flesh business.There are so many abandoned high-rise buildings nearby, just pick up a room that is not too dilapidated, and get a mattress or bed board to start business.

As long as you have money, find a stall and ask if there is a place to relax. The stall owner will quote two or three prices with a smile on his face. After the negotiation is over, he will call a dirty child to lead the way.

Don't be afraid, as long as you pay a lot of money, security issues are still guaranteed.From the stall owner to the children leading the way, to the men wandering around the buildings, they are all part of this industrial chain.

In order for their own income to flow smoothly, they have to do their best to ensure the personal safety of their customers.If they were robbed and cheated every day, they would have to close down in less than a month, and everyone would lose their income.

The house arranged by Feihu Sun is on the top floor of the transportation hub building. It used to be a temporary warehouse that Feihu Construction Company found after entering the New Seventh District. It was specially used to store building materials and tools that were afraid of water and rain. There were also accommodation for several employees. Watching things by the way.

After listening to Hong Tao's request, he happened to give this house away. As for how it will be used, that is Hong Tao's right.From a legal point of view, this house is still assigned to the new immigrants by the Safety Zone Management Office, and has nothing to do with the construction company or the transportation company.

Benzhu and Shen Wansan drove the carriage, Hong Tao lay alone in the pile of parcels, walked west along Dongtiejiangying Street all the way, arrived at the crossroads at a leisurely pace, and was immediately surprised by hundreds of stalls.

Although the turnover of people here is not as high as that of the Great Ocean Road market, the enthusiasm and energy of the people are obviously much higher than those there.This is the advantage of new things. Like people, the younger they are, the more aggressive they are.

"Hey brother, how much is Mo Heyan!"

Before the carriage came to a complete stop, Hong Tao sat up straight away, jumped out of the carriage, walked to a stall with his hands behind his back, stretched out his hand and pinched a pinch of plant powder, put it under his nose to smell, and then handed it to Bungy Pig behind him. After nodding in the affirmative, the representative took out his wallet from his waist.

But before the wallet was in front of him, he lightened his hand, and then turned his head to see that a short figure had already run five or six meters away. His figure was very agile, and he swayed left and right in the crowd without touching any leaves. body.

"Hey...fuck! Huzi, come back, don't chase after him!" Hong Tao was startled at first, then yelled and cursed, but immediately stopped Shen Wansan who had already stepped forward to chase him out.

"Brother Mouse, he's a child, he can't run far!" Shen Wansan was similar to Sun Ning. After hearing that the transportation company had accepted Hong Tao's resignation, he immediately quarreled with Wang Gang, packed up his parcel and left the small building without hesitation.

Those who don't do things like this, stay away if you don't like it!This is the reason he gave, the simple one cannot be more simple.However, Hong Tao dared to bring this guy with him after asking Tong Limin for his opinion.

In Tong Limin's words, this guy is a fool. He was drinking and bragging an hour ago, and after an hour, he can turn his face and curse at the street because of a fart.But he has one advantage, he is brave and daring to go all out. Every time Wang Gang goes out alone, Tong Limin asks him to accompany him.

Now Tong Limin handed this guy over to Hong Tao. Besides being a bodyguard, he can also be used as a meat shield.Don't look down on him, but he is sincere and knows the good and the bad. He has been with Tong Limin for so many years and hasn't lost the chain once. He should be regarded as a trustworthy helper.

"When you catch up to a secluded place, you won't be a child anymore, it's all knives!" Bungy didn't move at all, and when he heard Shen Wansan's words, he gave the answer with a smile.

He was the only one who was picked by Hong Tao and had to follow him out.Say you don’t want to, but you have no choice. Many people committed suicide in the German embassy. If they stayed in the transportation company, without Hong Tao’s protection, they would have to be arrested by the Ministry of Internal Affairs one day.Don't look at those people who are very polite to Hong Tao, if it were someone else, they would definitely not look good.

Say yes, it's not 100%.Who is willing to live a life of ups and downs all day long, especially following this hero, maybe one day he will have an idea and kill another minister, it is too possible.

For the indifference of Hu Yang and others, Bungy doesn't care too much, because he doesn't believe that heroes will get into this situation.If it is Populus euphratica or one or two people who are greedy for pleasure, afraid of being implicated, and reluctant to get the property, there is still some credibility.

But he really didn't believe that the pony, the fat sheep, the scalper, and the lazy dog ​​all became villains.If these people were all soft bones, I wouldn't be able to live today.Even if people have the problem of sharing hardships and difficulties, and sharing wealth and wealth, they shouldn't be so neat, and there must be demons when things go wrong!

But he didn't bother to ask. Since the heroes are not in a hurry, it's useless to worry about it yourself. Let's just watch the development slowly.Anyway, it's not like I haven't lived a life of wandering around, and now I still have a place to live, which isn't too bad.

In addition, hanging out with Brother Shu may not be much worse than staying downstairs. There is no specific reason, it is just a kind of experience.This hero likes to pretend to be a grandson first and then be a grandpa to toss others around. Who can guarantee that it will not be the case this time.

"...Then, let's forget it!" Shen Wansan was just a little dazed, and his brain was really not stupid, so he immediately understood what Bungy meant.However, I am still very concerned about being robbed of my wallet in public as soon as I arrived at the door of my new home.

This is not just dozens of dollars, but also face.If someone treats you as a softie, then life will be difficult in the future.Especially in such an environment where thousands of people live together, there are unspoken rules in addition to the rules of the alliance. Generally speaking, whoever has bigger fists will be more comfortable, and whoever coaxes them will be bullied more.

Chapter 934

"He can't run away... Don't forget, we are now masters who have bodyguards wherever we go!"

Hong Tao didn't even intend to chase after them. There are more such children in the refugee areas of Xinjiang Province, who specialize in robbing the property of foreign merchants.If you grab it, run to the pre-negotiated place, which is usually a building ruin with a complicated environment.

There will be at least two adults waiting there with weapons. If you don't chase them, you will lose a little money at most. If you chase them, you will be robbed of them all, or even lose your life.Although the child who robbed the money just now didn't see his face, judging from his hair, he should also come from Xinjiang Province. Not only did he come, he also brought his habits with him.

The ancients said that goods are more expensive when they are away from home, and people are cheaper when they are away from home.When you first arrive in a new environment, it is not easy to preserve the original customs.This trick worked well in the Redeemer's refugee area, but it didn't work so well in the safe area of ​​the capital.

There are not only security teams here, but also plainclothes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Even if the kid and the gang that manipulated him were unlucky today, and got into trouble with someone they shouldn't have.Even if he didn't intend to recover the wallet, the plainclothes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would not give up.

What if it wasn't an accident, but a way of delivering a message?This is the basic quality of counterintelligence work. If Lin Na didn't think of this step, she would have sent her to the security team to patrol, and she was not qualified at all!

So it's not enough to just catch the child and recover the wallet. It is estimated that the plainclothes people will uproot this gang and send them to Jia Ziyi one by one to show them what a mother wolf is.

"Come on, weigh me half a kilogram... what are you doing so stupidly, I have money, and I have plenty of money! Look, there are money all over my body!" The child doesn't need to chase after him, but Mo Heyan still has to buy it.It's just that the owner of the stall was a little short-sighted. Seeing that Hong Tao's wallet was robbed, he refused to deliver the goods for a long time, fearing that he would not have money to pay the bill.

Then he saw that the originally good-looking Han people suddenly had the accent of northern Xinjiang herdsmen, and the taste was so full, as if soaked sheep urine was poured on roasted sheep eggs, and then covered with a layer of sheep tail oil.

"Are you a Han from Xinjiang Province? This pack is good cigarettes, give me an extra bowl!" The stall owner seemed to like the taste very much, and immediately opened the side pocket, using a small eating bowl as a measuring tool.

"Are you from KS or Hotan?" Hong Tao simply squatted in front of the booth, reached out to pick up a piece of cut cigarette paper, squeezed a pinch of shredded tobacco and rolled it up.

Many people in Xinjiang Province are rather rough and reckless in business, as long as they are not too vigilant, no matter whether they buy it or not, it doesn’t cost money to roll a piece, and they will not speak ill at each other, even if they themselves are poor.
