I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 9 Boss Wife

"You didn't find Xiao Wu?"

"Goo!"

"Where's Ling? Have you found her?"

"Goo!"

“None.”

Zhou Mu frowned. Could it be that Xiao Wu was captured by the guys from the Fire Hall?

No, probably not.

That guy is much more slippery than me, but I still have to confirm it. It just so happens that I can't stay under the bridge any longer.

The red-dressed lady hasn't returned for a long time. The Nonghuotang may track her down here. Besides, the girl who escaped during the day may also bring people back.
Zhou Mu was not sure about the identity of the girl with a ponytail, but she was definitely not ordinary. The middle-aged man was a figure at the [Great Medicine] level!

Glancing at the darkening sky and pulling his hood closer, Zhou Mu took one last look at this 'home' where he had lived for nearly two years, then climbed away down the slope without looking back.

There are few people on the streets, but the breeding area is not peaceful. It becomes more dangerous as the night goes on. The main reason is that when you draw the life and death lot every month, if you draw the death lot, you can give someone else to become your "ingredient".

Therefore, many evildoers would occasionally capture some civilians as backup, and even develop an industry out of this.

After all, the powerful people in the breeding area also have to draw lots for life and death.

Paying three thousand yuan a month can help you avoid the life and death lottery. In fact, it does not mean that you don't have to draw the life and death lottery. Instead, if you draw the death lottery, you can directly find a scapegoat.

Three thousand may seem like a small amount, but it is something that must be paid every month, even if you are selected as a student.
Well, it is indeed a safe way, but it is a bit dirty.

With his head lowered and his body hidden, Zhou Mu walked quickly on the empty street, while the pigeon flew in the air. If there was anything wrong in the distance, it could also give early warning.

After crossing North 60th, 59th, and 58th Streets, Zhou Mu turned into a seemingly dilapidated alley at North 57th Street.

The alley is very narrow at first, but just enough for one person to pass through. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly becomes open and bustling.

There are some shops and stalls on both sides of the alley, as well as pubs that are rarely seen on the main streets. These shops and stalls are open all night, and the things they sell are not ordinary.

This alley is called Black Alley. It is not a place that ordinary people can come to. Most of the guys in this alley are fierce and ruthless people like Zhou Mu before.
Many dirty deeds are also quietly going on here.

"Newly arrived person card, superior person card, superior person card!"

An old man sitting cross-legged on the ground shouted and casually called Zhou Mu:
"Customer, would you like to buy a human card? They are all high-class human cards. You can use them to pick up goods at Nonghuotang or Tianxiang Pavilion at any time. Recently, there are many beautiful girls and boys. Take them home and they can warm your bed on weekdays. If you draw a death lottery, you can even die in your place!"

Zhou Mu glanced at him indifferently. There were many wooden signs on the stall in front of the old man.
This is a human card. Each card represents a person. It is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The upper human card corresponds to a young man or girl with good looks.

It is not easy to sell people directly, so the selling method of human cards was derived.
Just as the old man said, after buying the person card, you can go to a special place to choose the "goods" of the corresponding grade.

"Would you like a piece?"

The old man picked up a high-class card, sucked his teeth, and smiled mysteriously:

"Twenty thousand dollars a piece. Don't think it's too expensive. Let me tell you, there are a lot of top-quality goods coming in recently."

"Not interested in."

Zhou Mu walked away quickly, sighing softly. They were clearly all kept as "ingredients"
Continue walking and finally stop in front of a tavern and walk in.

There were no customers in the pub. The proprietress, who looked to be in her thirties and still had some charm, was leaning in a corner, drinking alone. Zhou Mu walked straight up to her and sat beside her.

"what?"

The drunken proprietress put down her wine cup, looked up and down at the young man who was wearing a hood and whose face could not be seen clearly, and laughed sweetly:
"Xiao Muzi, how dare you come here? I saw the reward during the day, it's 10,000 yuan."

She obviously recognized Zhou Mu immediately.

"Sister Bai."

Zhou Mu smiled and said:

"You wouldn't sell it to me for ten thousand dollars."

"That's hard to say."

The lady boss curled her lips:

"Ten thousand is not too little. Tell me, what is it? Buying or selling intelligence?"

This is a wine shop and also an intelligence shop.

"I don't have any information to sell recently, and I can't afford it." Zhou Mu said honestly:
"I just want to ask, has Xiao Wu been here during the day?"

The proprietress didn't answer, but stretched out her hand and made a 'five' gesture.

Zhou Mu was helpless:

"Five hundred? That's all? With our relationship, you shouldn't ask for more money, right?"

The proprietress tsk- ...

"I still say that. Spend one night with my sister, and you won't charge for information in the future. Why?"

"Let's do it." Zhou Mu nodded decisively: "I've thought it through. I won't suffer any loss."

The lady boss's expression froze for a moment, and she finally withdrew her hand angrily and rolled her eyes:
"You guys, you learned bad things from Xiao Wu, right?"

Zhou Mule said:

"I understand now. Sister Bai, you are only good at talking."

"Alright, alright."

I don't know her exact name, but the lady boss, who was always called 'Sister Bai', waved her hand:
"Xiao Wu came here during the day, bringing a girl with him, and asked me to find a secluded place to stay. He was even more shameless than you. He pestered me for three hours, but I still relented and finally confiscated his money."

As she spoke, the proprietress sighed sadly:

"What a big loss."

"Can you tell me where it is?" Zhou Mu asked happily.

"I sent him to the east." The proprietress said bluntly, "From North Tenth Street to North Ninety-ninth Street, it's all the fire-making hall's territory. No place is safe. The Tianxiang Pavilion in the east doesn't get along with the fire-making hall, so it's barely safe to stay there."

Tianxiang Pavilion is also a "dark and evil force" with half-demons.

"Sister Bai, which street in the east is it?"

"East 81st, that place is a slum, it is a bit messy, but with Xiao Wu's ability, it should be no problem."

The proprietress smiled and continued:

"I asked him to open a branch there to collect intelligence, which can be considered as working to pay off my debts. However, it will probably take some time for the branch to be established. What about you? How about you open a branch for me in the west?"

Zhou Mu was somewhat moved. After a moment of silence, he said softly:
"No thanks to you."

He knew that the proprietress was protecting them in disguise.

"Really not going?" The lady boss asked curiously, "If you are targeted by the Nonghuotang, you will be in a lot of trouble. So, do you really want to be a sparring partner in that Taibai martial arts school? Being a sparring partner can easily lead to death."

"I want to practice." Zhou Mu answered firmly.

"You."

The proprietress sighed and took a sip of wine:

"What's the good of practicing? The higher your level, the more dangerous it is. Forget it, you are such a stubborn ass, there's no way I can persuade you to come back."

She put down the wine cup and continued:
"Stay here for a few nights, and move out when you find a place to live. I'll give you one hundred yuan a day for the room, and when you have money, give me the rest. For the sake of our friendship, I'll give you a piece of information."

Zhou Mu's eyes lit up, and he quickly poured some wine for the proprietress:

"Please tell me!"

"The owner of Taibai Martial Arts School is a very powerful, very powerful, very powerful person."

The proprietress stood up leisurely and walked upstairs with her waist twisted:

"I don't know the details, but it's definitely not simple. Such a powerful person should have been eaten long ago. Maybe it's a big monster hiding in the breeding area? You can help me find out, and you will be rewarded!"

Going up to the second floor, the proprietress looked back and smiled, saying:
"You can sleep in the room at the back of the first floor. The bed will be made for you this afternoon. Don't close the door at night!"

Zhou Mu was stunned for a moment, then stood up and bowed solemnly to the proprietress before saying:
"I'll lie down right now and warm the quilt for you!"

The lady boss rolled her eyes:

"I still miss the time when you used to blush and stammer."
