From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 997
Chapter 997 Crouching Bull Island
The city walls of Crouching Bull Continent gradually appeared in everyone’s sight. The city walls here were similar to Moonshine Bay. They were built from local materials, but in terms of quality and scale, they were much better than Moonshine Bay. However, there were still not many guards. All they could see was either napping or playing cards.
“Girls! It’s time for the masquerade party …”
Chen Guangda stopped and looked at Yan Qing and the other ladies. The ladies revealed a very resentful expression, but they still obediently let go of their long hair and lay on the ground. They rolled in the sand like lazy pigs. They waited until they were unkempt before standing up bitterly.
“No way! It’s still too beautiful …”
Chen Guangda shook his head in dissatisfaction. This move of theirs added to the messy beauty. Chen Guangda simply opened the water bag and fell to the ground. Then, he grabbed Big Eyed Xia, grabbed the mud, and wiped her face and body. He completely wiped her into a mud monkey before letting her go.
“Bastard! You’re going to make me ugly …”
Big Eyed Xia stared at the muddy face and cursed. If it wasn’t for Chen Guangda’s masterpiece, even he wouldn’t have recognized this female ghost. Seeing the situation was not good, Yan Qing and Li Damei immediately wanted to run, but Chen Guangda threw them to the ground and directly pushed them into the mud pit, causing them to rub violently.
“Pfft ~ Dog calf! You’re making my mouth …”
Li Damei cried out from the mud pit. Her mouth was covered in mud, and Yan Qing put a mud helmet on her head. After being released by Chen Guangda, she immediately cried and scolded, “You heartless bastard, you are so ruthless towards your wife. Don’t touch me in the future. I want to break up with you!”
“Oh, I don’t want to. Who told you to be so beautiful? I don’t want to get into trouble every day …”
Chen Guangda waved the mud on his hand and laughed mischievously. Then, he smiled and looked at Li Tingyu and the others. The ladies immediately took a step back in fear. Jiang Shilin hurriedly waved her hand and said, “You … Don’t touch me. We’ll do it ourselves, but can you not get your hair on it? It’s very difficult to wash!”
“What do you think …”
Chen Guangda proudly rolled up his sleeves. A few ladies could only crouch bitterly to the side of the mud pit. You began to wipe my body, and only then did you stand up. Not to mention that normal men didn’t like them anymore, even the evil spirits in their faces would have to fear them.
“Get up!”
Chen Guangzhi snapped his big toes in high spirits. They turned around and strode towards Crouching Bull City, but the girls kept cursing. Although they knew that their pretty faces were easy to cause trouble, they had never been in such a sorry state in their lives. The resentment in their hearts was definitely no less than Bloody Mary’s. They also decided not to let Chen Taidi touch them for at least three months.
Crouching Bull City was built by the lake. From afar, one could see a few small boats parked by the lake. There were also a few exquisite pavilions and bamboo houses on the shore. However, the entire Crouching Bull Lake was surrounded by hemp ropes. There were also several white wooden plates on the lake, which were written in large blood-red words-Kill anyone who stole fish!
“So domineering, can’t it be that you can’t even wash your clothes …”
Yan Qing looked at the sparkling lake with some yearning. Obviously, she wanted to dive into it and have a good bath. However, Qiu Yu shook her head and said, “This entire city is the private property of the boss lady. The fish inside are all raised by her family. Let alone washing clothes, she can’t even drink water. As long as she dares to cross the hemp rope, she will catch you!”
“This place! Who is ruthless and who is reasonable …”
Chen Guangda shook his head noncommittally and walked towards the city gate. However, the sun in the northwest rose earlier than in other places. Although the sun had already revealed the horizon, it was only five o’clock at most. There wasn’t even a ghost in front of the city gate, and the guards on the city gate didn’t know where to hide to take a nap.
“Hey! There’s no one here. We’re going into the city …”
Chen Guangda picked up a stick and knocked fiercely on the city gate. After a long time, a sleepy man appeared upstairs. However, just as he was about to point at Chen Guangda and curse, Chen Guangda took out a pack of cigarettes and smiled, “Boss! Open the door! The brothers are frozen stiff!”
“Wait …”
The other party agreed very straightforwardly. Not long after, the thick wooden city gate was opened. Two men wearing black bulletproof vests and carrying long knives walked out. They yawned and asked, “Where did they come from? Do you have permission to enter the city?”
“Hehe ~ The good people from Moonshine Bay have come to seek refuge with their relatives …”
Chen Guangda nodded and bowed as he stuffed the cigarette into the other party’s hand, but he still had no intention of letting them in. Seeing that the person beside him was also rubbing his fingers, Chen Guangda could only bitterly take out a golden ring and stuffed it into the other party’s hand and said, “Boss! That’s all! You all know about our poor place!”
“What’s in the bag …”
The two guards stared at Chen Guangda’s bulging backpack. Chen Guangda immediately opened his backpack and said, “We dug out a brood of sand lizard eggs on the road. I wonder if we can sell them for money. If you like it, then take it. You should be filial to both of you!”
“Go, go! Take it away, you guys dare to dig for this unlucky thing, are you all poor and crazy?”
The two guards hurriedly took a step back, afraid that the sand lizard would break out and bite them, and they also looked at the women. They probably saw that there was really no oil or water to salvage. The leader, Qiu Yu, did not even have any shoes. He waved his hand and said, “You can just press a palm print in the back. Don’t knock so early in the future. Do you hear me?”
“Hehe ~ Since we’re here, we won’t go out. This place is much better than our Moonshine Bay …”
Chen Guangda laughed and rubbed his hands. He looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world before. The two guards immediately scolded the leopard and woke up the registrar who was sleeping in the cave. After registering them briefly, they were directly let in without any interrogation.
“That’s right! I finally have a bit of a look …”
Yan Qing looked back and forth at the street behind the city gate. A straight slate road extended for at least a few hundred meters. Although there were many adobe houses and plank houses on both sides of the road, she could finally see the brick houses and the second floor. However, it still remained the boundless earthen yellow color. No matter what the buildings were, they were wrapped in a rough layer of yellow sand.
“Follow me, I hope my cousin is still alive …”
Qiu Yu walked forward worriedly and explained, “My family used to live here, but that was two years ago. Later, my father took me to Moonshine Bay to avoid debt. I wonder how my cousin is doing after these two years!”
“It’s fine! As long as we can find a temporary place to stay, you don’t have to worry about the rest …”
Chen Guangda waved his hand confidently. Qiu Yu nodded and quickened his pace. At this time, there weren’t many people on the street. They quickly arrived at a messy residential area. The surroundings were almost all small courtyards made of dirt. Looking at the tattered shoes hanging on the roof, one could tell how poor the living conditions were.
“Eh? Why did it become a tiled room …”
Qiu Yu looked at a small brick courtyard and was slightly stunned. However, he immediately ran forward and knocked happily. After waiting for a long time, a young woman ran over and opened the door. However, she cursed impatiently, “What are you doing? Even beggars dare to knock on the door. Believe it or not … Ah? Xiao Yu, you … How did you end up like this?”
“Sister!”
Qiu Yu threw herself into the other party’s arms and burst into tears. The young woman hurriedly hugged her and comforted them, but her eyes were constantly looking at Chen Guangda and the others. The moment Chen Guangda saw her gaze, he knew that it was over. The little girl obviously treated them as beggars. She hated them as much as she hated them.
Sure enough! After Qiu Yu finished speaking, the young woman wiped away the tears that did not exist. She closed the door and said, “Don’t worry, Xiao Yu, you will stay with me in the future. Even if you don’t work, I can still support you. Come with me!”
“Wait a minute! They are my saviors. Can you let them stay here for a few days first …”
Qiu Yu hurriedly pushed open the courtyard door and pleaded, but the young woman leaned against the door frame. She pointed at the courtyard with a strange expression and said, “I also want them to live in the courtyard, but there must be a place for them to do so. We only have a main house with a broken firewood room. We can’t let them sleep in the courtyard, can we?”
“But …”
Qiu Yu pulled her sister anxiously, but Chen Guangda walked up and smiled. “Forget it, we have to find a house anyway. Stay here with your sister. We are destined to meet again!”
“Don’t leave …”
Qiu Yu hurriedly wanted to run out, but her cousin pulled her back. With a “bang”, she closed the door and scolded, “You dare to recruit anyone at home. I’m telling you, poor people are short-sighted, but poor people can do anything. If they kill people and rob money, I’ll see what you do. Hurry up and follow me into the house!”
“What the hell …”
Chen Guangda spat heavily. Previously, they were still talking about their families being poor and short-sighted. Who knew that it would fall on them in the blink of an eye? However, it was only natural for them to think that they were poor and loved wealth. No one would be willing to recruit a bunch of poor people to eat and drink at home for free. It was just that they had never been disliked by others and hadn’t thought of this in advance.
“Senior Official Chen! What do you plan to do now …”
Yan Qing rolled her eyes and walked over. She directly flipped out all the valuable items in her pocket and held them in her hand. Xia Fei and the other girls also walked up one by one to learn from them. However, after they took out all the items, Chen Guangda was suddenly dumbfounded.
“Where’s the soap? Didn’t I give you five pieces of soap each …”
Chen Guangda looked at the women in disbelief. The most valuable thing they had now was two bars of soap, which he had contributed. However, Yan Qing said angrily, “You still cared about soap when you were running for your life. Why didn’t you say that you would drag the camels over as well?”
“Then what should we do? What should we eat now …”
Chen Guangda spread out his hands with a dull expression, but a few women hugged the stick proudly. Xia Fei said arrogantly, “I don’t care! Anyway, you’re my husband, and it’s your responsibility to raise me. Even if you go to sell your butt, you still have to let me eat, right, sisters?”
“That’s right! Even if we sell our butts, we still need to eat enough …”
