Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 362: Yusu Flower Name; Absurd Game (5k)

"Little brother, you can't even afford to raise yourself, so why do you keep a cat?"

The person in front of him was of medium build, wearing a well-tailored cotton coat, with a broad forehead, straight nose, and deeper eye sockets than those of the average person in Beiaozhou.

He greeted You Su with a smile, and although he spoke in a friendly and cordial manner, he had an inexplicable sense of superiority.

You Su frowned, the contempt in the eyes of the man in front of him almost overflowed, this person must be the one he was waiting for.

"He has been with me since he was young. How can I throw him away if I don't raise him? I can't bear to do so." You Su scratched his head in a naive manner and took Bai Ze back into his arms.

The middleman nodded slightly when he saw this. He knew very well that the people who worked the best were those who had elderly parents and young children. And this cat was obviously the concern of this young man. As long as the cat was there, it was equivalent to holding the young man's handle.

"That's right. Your cat is very pretty. It must cost a lot of money to raise it, right?" the middleman asked knowingly.

You Su could sense that this middleman had no cultivation skills, which made him feel a little relieved.

"Alas, it's because I can't afford to keep it, so I want to come to Shuocheng to find a job to keep it... Boss, don't look at my young age. I'm very strong and capable! You can come to me if you need any help!" You Su recommended himself enthusiastically, showing his desire for a job.

The middleman looked You Su up and down and nodded frequently, obviously very satisfied with You Su's physique.

"I do have a good job here..."

"I can do it, boss!"

"Don't worry, how old are you? Where are you from?"

"I'm nineteen this year, and I'm from Baiyun Village in the east of Beiji City." You Su answered one by one. This Baiyun Village was the deserted village where he had met Qu Ye before.

The middleman rolled his eyes, as if recalling this place, but the Arctic City was already a deserted city, so who would remember if there was a village there? He waved his hand and asked again:

"Then why can't you get into the city by yourself?"

You Su was prepared for this, and said in a sad voice: "I was born and raised in the village. My parents died early, and I didn't even have a household registration in Beiji City. When I grew up and wanted to make up for it, the officials in Beiji City ignored me. It was really hard for me to make a living by hunting there, so I thought of trying my luck in this big city."

"I see... There are indeed a lot of people like you. There's nothing we can do about it, since we have so many messy villages in Beiaozhou. We've called on them to come to the city to build these big houses before, but those fools just wouldn't come and insisted on staying in their shabby huts. As a result, they can't come now if they want to." The middleman sighed and shook his head.

Beiaozhou developed late, and many people at that time still had the concept of "tribe", and could not understand that many different races were crowded together to form a city. Now they have discovered the benefits of cities, but the limited urban space cannot accommodate so many "barbarians", resulting in many people born in remote villages being unable to obtain an official identity.

"Yes, yes, yes..." You Su echoed repeatedly.

The middleman gave You Su a satisfied look and said, "Don't worry. I've seen fifty or more people in your situation. This is a good job, but it's not easy. I saw so many people and I chose you. If you are willing to do it, then do it well. I will help you get into the city."

"Thank you, boss! I will definitely keep working diligently!" You Su promised earnestly, performing flawlessly.

"You are lucky. If you get this good job, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory. Don't forget me when the time comes." The middleman patted You Su's shoulder and seemed to pinch it intentionally or unintentionally, "Come on, follow me."

You Su raised his eyebrows slightly. For some reason, he felt a chill all over his body after being pinched. "Boss, what kind of job is this... It's so good, I'm afraid..."

He looked so timid, just like a poor boy from the mountains.

The middleman turned around with a frown and said viciously, "What are you afraid of? There are so many people outside, do I have to cheat you? Let me make it clear, it's hard to get into this city, and it's hard to get out of that city! If you are worried that I will cheat you, then get out! It doesn't matter who I look for? You really think you are a piece of shit!"

"No way, boss... I'm just a little timid... I will definitely do my best!" You Su quickly took two steps and followed closely behind the middleman.

The middleman then turned around and continued walking, with a look of disdain on his face.

"Um... don't you need to ask my name?" You Su asked softly.

"No need. It doesn't matter what your previous name was. You just need to remember your new name from now on."

The middleman did not lead You Su directly to the city gate, but left the official road and walked into a small path.

You Su clenched his fist quietly, the plan was already half successful.

The middleman must have taken him to make a fake identity certificate.

"Boss, then...what is my new name?"

The middleman stopped and looked back. You Su could feel that his eyes had changed again.

It was no longer contempt, but instead an aggressive admiration, like... a man sizing up a woman.

"Just call me Sakura."

……

"Bang" sound.

The leaky door was kicked open.

"The identification has been prepared. Have you memorized the poem I asked you to recite?"

Still dressed the same, the middleman came in, straightening his collar.

Bai Ze quickly dived into You Su's arms. Although he said he disliked You Su very much, he had already regarded You Su's arms as the safest nest in his heart.

"I've memorized it..." You Su's voice was not very confident.

"Recite a few sentences for me to hear." The middleman's voice was cold.

"The mountains and rivers are all in a blur, and there is a black hole on the well. The yellow dog has white on its body, and the white dog has swelling on its body..."

"You are really a good material! You memorized it in one day! You will make a fortune this time!" The middleman looked like he saw a treasure and urged, "The higher-ups are in a hurry to get it, come with me!"

You Su stood up and followed, but his humble brows suddenly became sharp.

He was locked up in a small house outside the city for a day. The only thing he had to do was to memorize the mediocre doggerel he had just written. On the way, he was served with delicious food and hot water, as if they were afraid that he would not be able to memorize it. However, You Su memorized the poem by heart after only reading it once.

But You Su had no intention of enjoying it, because he had already vaguely guessed what kind of good job the middleman had introduced to him.

The people of Beiaozhou value martial arts, and they value masculinity even more in the wind and snow. The men here always have endless anger to vent, so... the bitterly cold land of Beiao is actually the place with the most Longyang in the five continents, even more so than Nanyangzhou, where men and women are equally feminine.

The reason why the middleman asked You Su to recite the poem was probably to package him as a "Sakura" boy who knew a little about poetry, so that he could sell it for a good price. After all, literary and artistic style is a rare commodity in Beiaozhou.

You Su did not regard homosexuality as abnormal, but when he was favored, he would not sit still and wait for death. So he secretly decided that after entering the city, he would definitely kill the human trafficker who abducted refugees.

"Take this document and when you enter the city later, you must say whatever I tell you to say. When I don't tell you to say anything, just shut up!"

The middleman handed over a document with a red seal on it, which recorded You Su's name and origin. Of course, not a single word on it was true, but as long as the red seal was true, it was enough.

You Su kept this hard-earned fake identity certificate. This person named "Dabang" might become his new identity in Beiaozhou in the future.

Wait, that name?!

For a moment, You Su didn't know whether he should tear up the certificate. He quickly guessed that this was also a marketing method used by the middleman.

Under the flying snow, there is a young man who is as light as a cherry blossom and writes poems, but has a name full of hints like "Dabang". Such a contrast makes those men who are as fierce as wolves and tigers...

Is it really necessary to enter this city... You Su felt distressed, but the answer was self-evident.

Even if it’s not for food, hot water and inns, there is one more important thing when going into the city, and that is - a car.

The difficulty of walking on the snowy road is incomparable to the smooth road in Zhongyuanzhou. If you want to walk from here to Kongyuan Mountain, you have to cross the snowy mountains, pass through the ice lake and overcome various difficulties. It will take at least two months. Walking alone in the ice and snow for two months is undoubtedly a kind of torture to the body and mind. Therefore, many people in Beiaozhou have never left their homes.

Qu Ye and Miss Wang had always traveled by sleigh before. The reason they walked to the Arctic snowfield was because there were no vehicles or horses willing to go to the desolate Arctic.

"I'm really going to make it big this time!"

The middleman clenched his fist excitedly. If he wasn't afraid of scaring You Su away, he would have wanted to grab You Su again.

Walking back to the place where You Su was waiting outside yesterday, the refugees were still huddled together for warmth, waiting for those black-hearted businessmen to come and give them a way to survive, or a way to die.

You Su sighed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Will killing the three evil gods make the world better? The answer is obviously no.

This also made You Su more determined to help Chen Yi dig out the mastermind behind the scenes. The white snow covered too much darkness that should have been exposed. Suddenly, You Su noticed that these refugees suddenly stood up together, and their originally miserable faces became full of life.

"Here he comes, that person is coming again!" The refugees told each other and stood up as if to welcome someone.

This scene also aroused the interest of the middleman, who moved over to watch the fun.

"Make money, make money! Make money without cheating anyone!"

A shout came from afar.

You Su raised his eyebrows slightly and recognized who the visitor was at a glance, or rather, it was impossible for him not to recognize him.

The man who came was a handsome middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a few strands of white hair mixed in his temples, and an incomprehensible smile on his lips. Judging from his appearance alone, he is definitely a killer of women, but his dress shattered his elegant temperament.

He was wearing a ridiculous and exaggerated colorful Taoist robe, like a flamboyant peacock in the world of black, white and gray. He was dragging a box made of several worn-out wooden boards behind him, covered with a white cloth with a crude Bagua diagram drawn on it, which looked both shabby and funny.

With this outfit, he is definitely a complete freak in Beiaozhou.

But it was this fake and exaggerated Taoist priest that attracted many refugees. They all gathered in front of the Taoist priest's stall, rubbing their hands in anticipation of something.

"Come on, come on! Don't push, don't push! Line up and take your time! Everyone has a chance!"

Taoist Hua continued to shout.

The middleman watched from afar and spat inwardly, "Damn it, you've come to my territory to steal my business. These poor guys have been squeezed dry by you, so what can I squeeze for?"

You Su listened to it, his brows furrowed.

He followed the middleman and watched the excitement, only to find out that the reason why this Taoist priest attracted these refugees was that he could play a free game.

The rules of the game are also very simple: there are three secret compartments in that simple box, one of which contains one or two taels of silver, and the other two contain nothing.

He first asked the participating refugees to choose a secret box, and then mercifully opened a secret box that contained nothing, thereby eliminating a wrong answer for the refugees. Finally, he asked the refugees to choose again between the remaining two secret boxes.

Most of the refugees chose to stick to their choices when faced with the remaining two secret boxes, but the chances of getting one or two taels of silver were obviously 50-50, so the number of people who could get one or two taels of silver in the end was obviously much smaller. This made many people regret it, but unfortunately a refugee only had one chance.

You Su looked at the Taoist priest, and his sword-like brows relaxed slightly. He thought he was a swindler, but it seemed that this Taoist priest was really distributing benefits. Every refugee who guessed the location of the silver could immediately get the one or two taels of silver, but not everyone could enjoy this benefit.

But what puzzled You Su was what was the purpose of this Taoist priest doing this?

"Boss, would you like to try your luck too?" Seeing the middleman staring at him unwillingly, the Taoist priest greeted him with a smile.

The middleman snorted and said disdainfully: "You think you can fool me with the same tricks you used on children?"

The Taoist priest still smiled and said, "This is free, how can it be called a scam?"

The middleman was addicted to gambling, and the reason why he couldn't save money from these shady businesses was that he spent all his money in the casino. Although he didn't care much about a tael of silver, he couldn't resist the temptation and immediately made a decision:

"Okay, I'll play with you!"

Seeing this, You Su didn't want to cause any more trouble. He just wanted to get into the city quickly, so he whispered, "Boss... let's go into the city first."

Unexpectedly, the middleman waved his hand and said, "Get lost!"

Taoist Hua smiled meaningfully, "Okay, then I wish the boss good luck! Come, choose one."

After saying this, the Taoist priest laid out three secret compartments as he did before and asked the person in the middle to choose one.

The middleman pointed to one confidently, and the Taoist priest smiled and opened an empty door, leaving the middleman with the choice of changing or not changing the remaining two secret compartments.

"To change or not to change? Boss, you have to think about it carefully." The Taoist smiled.

The middleman hesitated for a moment, but thought that he had been in the martial arts world for many years, so how could he be deceived by this Taoist priest? So he said firmly: "I won't change it!"

The Taoist priest laughed and opened the door chosen by the middle man, and it was empty inside.

The middleman's face darkened and he snorted, "It's just bad luck this time. Try again!"

"I'm afraid you have a bad fate." Taoist Hua said sarcastically.

"What did you say?!"

How could a gambler like the middleman listen to such words, especially those said by a Taoist priest? He was immediately furious and threatened to tear down the Taoist priest's fortune-telling stall.

Taoist Hua was forced to stop them and persuade them:

"I'm just a jerk. Boss, I'm sure you'll have better luck next time."

"Then come again!"

"But...but the rule is that each person only has one chance..." Taoist Hua was very hesitant.

The middleman immediately took out a handful of silver and said angrily, "I'm spending money to play!"

Taoist Hua hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Since the boss is so determined, then I will listen to the boss. I am not a liar, how about this, I will put the change given by the boss into the secret compartment. If you guess right, you can take all the silver with me. If you guess wrong, you have to pay the same amount of money, but I will still put it all into the secret compartment. In this way, the boss will always have good luck. How do you think?"

The middleman was so excited about gambling that he didn't care about the detailed rules. He immediately shouted:

"Alright! Come on! Let me make it clear first, if I find out you're doing something dirty, I'll chop off your hands!"

With a swish, a silver knife with a cold glow was stuck into the ground, causing the refugees watching to boo in fear.

So the middleman played it a few more times, and in the end, no matter whether he chose to change or not, he chose the space.

His face turned pale and he firmly claimed that the Taoist priest Hua was cheating.

Taoist Hua had no choice but to ask a refugee to open the secret compartment for him, while he stood far away.

The result is, without exception, still a space.

The middleman then said that the refugee was a sting, and even asked You Su to open the secret compartment, but it still did not change the result.

Taking out money has almost become a habit. The unwilling middleman touched his pocket, but found it was empty. Now all the valuables on his body are in one of the secret compartments.

"Alas... It seems that the boss is really unlucky. If you have no money, just go home. We will stop here today." Hua Taoist made a gesture to close the stall.

What a shitty bad luck... I have a very good luck! This is the last bet, just the last one! I will definitely be able to turn the tables!

"Don't worry! I still have money!"

The middleman shouted angrily, pointing at You Su: "Sell him to Chuixue Tower in the city! He can be sold for at least five thousand taels! I'll take him and gamble with you again!"

This statement caused everyone to sigh, as if they had never expected a person to be so valuable.

You Su also secretly clenched his fists, hating himself for trusting this man. If he had known that this man was so unreliable, he should have killed him with a sword.

Taoist Hua looked You Su up and down and said with a smile, "This kid is not bad. I'll listen to you and try again."

The middleman laughed crazily, but in the end, there was nothing.

"This person's life is really bad..."

"Yeah, yeah, if it were me, I'd win once if I had to choose between the two!"

The gossips of the people around him were the last straw that broke the camel's back. He rushed towards the Taoist priest like a madman, determined to cut the fake Taoist priest into pieces.

But he found that the Taoist priest had been standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.

The next moment, the middleman widened his eyes and stared stiffly at the invisible force that shattered his heart.

Taoist Hua waved his hands, smiled as if nothing had happened and said to You Su:

"Hey bro, do you want to play a game?"
