Chapter 225 Dachen Island

Damengze is vast and boundless.

But there is also land in the water.

These pieces of land divided into pieces by rivers, lakes, wetlands and swamps are called land islands.

There are countless islands of all sizes scattered throughout Damengze.

Dachen Island is one of the largest land islands in the settlement!

Zhang Yuan's boat was docked next to a simple pier.

After getting off the boat, he gave the young man who led the way one or two taels of silver as agreed.

"Thank you, sir!"

The young man smiled widely and kept bowing to Zhang Yuan to express his gratitude.

He added, "Sir, my name is Shuisheng, and I grew up here. If there is anything you need me to do for you, just let me know!"

The young man was quite smart and knew that Zhang Yuan had definitely never been to Damengze before.

Otherwise, there is no need to lead the way yourself.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yuan was generous, so he naturally had the idea of ​​currying favor with him.

It would be great to get some oil and water!

Zhang Yuan saw that the other party was very clever, so he nodded and asked, "Then how can I find you?"

The young Shuisheng quickly pointed to a row of mud houses on the right side of the pier and said, "I usually live there."

"Ah."

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Then take me to Fuyun Inn now."

Shuisheng was delighted: "Yes, sir!"

He led the way, holding a woven straw bag containing a large turtle, and Zhang Yuan followed slowly behind.

Take a look at the surrounding scenery.

If the waters previously dotted with houseboats were rural, then Dachen Island undoubtedly belonged to the city.

The buildings here are much denser, with earthen houses, stone houses and wooden buildings of various shapes and sizes lined up side by side. There are quite a few shops along the street, and it is quite prosperous and lively with people coming and going.

Although it cannot be compared with Xiaxu, it is comparable to a small county town.

The people living on this island left a deep impression on Zhang Yuan.

Most of the men and women walking in the streets are strong and agile, and most of them carry weapons. Although they are dressed rather simply and shabby, they all exude a tough aura.

There are many ferocious and vicious ones among them, and the proportion of warriors is alarmingly high!

But there were no patrolling warriors on the road. Everyone kept their distance from each other and was on guard against and alert.

Zhang Yuan noticed that Shuisheng always walked close to the roadside and took the initiative to avoid people coming towards him.

Apparently this is the daily routine here!
Suddenly, there was chaos on the street ahead.

Shouts and screams rang out one after another.

A man was knocked to the ground, spitting blood and wailing loudly, looking very miserable.

However, the attacker did not let him go and chased him and stomped on his head.

Until the man completely fainted.

The attacker raised his head and looked around, without any sign of fear or guilt.

He blended into the crowd and disappeared.

The next moment, a group of beggars jumped out from nowhere and dragged the man on the ground into a nearby dark alley.

When the people around saw this, they all turned a blind eye.

The streets soon returned to their original liveliness and bustle.

Only the blood remaining on the ground proved that a tragedy had just happened here!
"grown ups."

Shuisheng noticed Zhang Yuan's expression. He looked around and then lowered his voice and said, "They are from the Dahe Gang. They are very fierce. We can't afford to offend them."

The young man was probably worried that Zhang Yuan would stand up for justice, so he gave him a friendly reminder.

Zhang Yuan smiled.

He won't meddle in other people's business!
The two continued walking forward, and not long after they walked, they saw the Fuyun Inn.

"That's it."

Zhang Yuan took out another piece of silver and handed it to Shuisheng: "This is a reward for you. Also, please help me keep an eye on the boat and don't let anyone steal it." His small boat was parked next to the pier.

If no one takes care of it, it probably won’t last until tomorrow!

Shuisheng immediately patted his chest and assured Zhang Yuan that he would definitely protect his boat.

Before leaving, the young man did not forget to hand the straw bag containing the giant turtle to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan was somewhat amused and confused.

He simply carried the big turtle into the inn.

The Fortune Inn is the largest hostel on the island.

There is a reason why Zhang Yuan chose to live here.

Many years ago, Han Zixun kept sending people to Damengze to lurk.

Spy on information related to Yan Wushuang.

Over the years, Han Zixun, who was in Xiaxu, had been keeping a close eye on Yan Wushuang's movements.

Waiting for an opportunity to take revenge!

The power of a person's hatred can be seen from this dashing young man from aristocratic family.

If Zhang Yuan wants to deal with Yan Wushuang, he definitely needs to know the latter's latest situation.

Fuyun Inn was the place where he met with the spy.

As soon as Zhang Yuan entered the inn, a waiter came up to him and asked, "Excuse me, sir, are you staying here or just stopping by?"

This inn also provides meals. There are more than a dozen tables in the lobby, most of which are occupied by guests.

Business is quite good.

"Open a room first."

Zhang Yuan handed the straw bag to the other party: "Make me a few more specialties and warm up a pot of wine."

"Okay!"

The innkeeper took the turtle and said with a smile: "You go first, the food and wine will be served soon!"

Zhang Yuan sat down at the empty table next to him, took the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

Drinking leisurely.

He keenly noticed that many eyes were falling on him.

There were dozens of drinkers sitting in the lobby of the inn, some of them were fierce and powerful.

Some people heard the conversation between Zhang Yuan and his waiter.

Some people just glanced at it curiously, while others had obscure expressions, as if they were calculating something.

Some people also had fierce light flashing in their eyes, looking quite unfriendly!
But Zhang Yuan ignored these people's gazes.

After the waiter had served the food and wine, he slapped a silver ingot on the table and said, "Refund if there is more, and make up if there is less."

Damengze is quite special, and silver notes are not very useful here.

After understanding the situation, Zhang Yuan took a lot of silver and gold leaves with him.

As a result, this ten-liang ingot of silver attracted even more attention.

And covet!

Zhang Yuan didn't care at all and just drank and ate.

The dishes here are mainly river fish, and due to the lack of rich seasoning, the taste is just mediocre.

The key is just one word: fresh.

As for the staple food, a big bowl of purple rice is quite unique and the taste is unexpectedly good.

He ate one bowl and asked for another.

It feels so good!
After eating and drinking his fill, Zhang Yuan asked the waiter to clear away the leftovers and ordered a pot of hot tea to savor slowly.

Zhang Yuan was getting a little impatient as he watched the guests in the lobby leave one by one. Then, a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance sat down opposite him.

The visitor smiled humbly and asked tentatively, "Excuse me, sir, are you from Xiaxu?"

Zhang Yuan put down his teacup and smiled: "My last name is Zhang."
