Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 6 006 The Madhouse is Gone

Feng Xiuhu suddenly realized something.

He and Shunzi came from the bottom of the city.

He finally remembered the question he had asked Shunzi just now - how do the people below get up?

Shunzi was not referring to the Broken Wave Bridge at that time, but the elevator.

But it's not just an elevator, it's actually a complex of buildings.

At the angle formed by the Broken Wave Bridge and the white stone wall, simple houses made of wooden boards are built one after another along the wall. Accumulating little by little, they form a whole area of ​​suspended buildings, just like the trajectory of mold spots climbing upwards from the bottom of the city.

Wooden houses of all sizes are crowded together in a messy manner, with no aesthetic appeal at all - it might be a luxury to say that they are beautiful. Feng Xiuhu suspects that they only consider the practicality of living in them and have not even considered safety.

If it doesn't collapse one day, use it one more day.

Feng Xiuhu felt scared when he thought about sleeping in such a place for a night.

He pointed to the upper town behind him and asked, "Are the houses expensive there?"

Shunzi shook his head blankly: "I don't know, I've never been there."

Feng Xiuhu put his hands on his hips and thought to himself, "I need to move somewhere else. I think the upper city is a good place. It's high up and has a good view."

Shunzi muttered quietly: "I think living in the village building is not bad..."

"What's your business?"

Feng Xiuhu complained, "You could jump through the floorboards with just a few jumps. Besides, there's a monster living in there—who wants to live in the same building with a monster?"

"monster?"

Shunzi didn't understand.

"Can't you see?"

Feng Xiuhu began to wonder if he had opened his Yin-Yang eyes.

"That purple thing with patterns on it looks like a purple garlic that has turned into a spirit."

Shunzi slapped his forehead and said, "Isn't that Miao Gensheng?"

Feng Xiuhu was shocked: "You still have such connections?"

Shunzi was at a loss for words: "Brother, that's not a monster. Miao Gensheng is an owlman. All owlmen look like that! You forgot, he's also a member of our team. You hired him specifically to keep watch at night to prevent thieves from coming in at night."

"Owlman..."

Feng Xiuhu touched his chin and his eyes wandered around. He realized that he still had a lot to learn.

But today's study quota has exceeded the limit, and he urgently needs to clear his mind.

Feng Xiuhu grabbed Shunzi and turned to leave: "Hurry, something is about to overflow, we need to find a place to release it."

Shunzi hurried to catch up. Seeing Feng Xiuhu's anxiety, he couldn't help but get anxious too: "What is that?"

Feng Xiuhu said seriously, "Knowledge."

"Who should we look for then?"

"Driver!"

……

The two of them hurried along, with Shunzi leading the way. The eldest brother was very anxious, and Shunzi followed suit, until they finally started to jog.

Soon Feng Xiuhu saw the familiar streets.

Passing by the teahouse, Feng Xiuhu glanced at the opposite side inadvertently, then stood there motionless.

Shunzi ran for a while before realizing that his elder brother hadn't caught up with him, so he quickly turned around and ran back.

"Brother, are you tired from running? Let me carry you."

Feng Xiuhu stared across the street without saying a word.

There was a mental hospital across the street, but the door was closed at this time, tightly wrapped with iron chains and sealed.

Feng Xiuhu turned around and entered the teahouse, pulling the shopkeeper out from under the table.

"what happened?"

He asked, pointing across.

The shopkeeper shrank his neck and smiled apologetically: "It's obvious at a glance. He was sealed by the Divine Guards."

"Yesterday, the Divine Guards came and rushed in and started arresting people. Later, I heard that someone was communicating with the evil spirit inside, and the Divine Guards caught him red-handed."

Looking at the empty yard behind the iron gate, Feng Xiuhu felt uncomfortable.

After all, it is his birthplace, so I have some feelings for it.

"How did the Divine Guards know there was someone inside communicating with the evil spirit?" The shopkeeper looked at Feng Xiuhu and forced a wry smile. "Squad Leader, if you don't know, how would I know?"

Feng Xiuhu pointed at his nose and asked, "Should I know?"

The shopkeeper couldn't laugh anymore: "It's not my decision..."

Shunzi hesitated to speak and secretly tugged at Feng Xiuhu's trouser waist.

He knew Feng Xiuhu was having another attack, so he leaned over and whispered in his ear, "The Divine Guards are soldiers from our church."

Our church?

Feng Xiuhu became more energetic and straightened his back involuntarily - it turns out that we have a backer!

"I know, get out of here."

Feng Xiuhu kicked the shopkeeper on the butt and didn't make things difficult for him.

The shopkeeper crawled into the teahouse.

Feng Xiuhu is a reasonable person. Although the shopkeeper reported him yesterday and he got beaten, it was indeed his misunderstanding at first.

Evened out.

Shunzi pulled Feng Xiuhu away.

Back to yesterday's curb again.

Feng Xiuhu was surprised: "You are still here."

The driver lifted the handlebars and asked impatiently, "Are you going or not?"

"go!"

Feng Xiuhu jumped onto the car seat and Shunzi followed him in.

The driver, however, was no longer in a hurry. He lowered the handlebars and discussed with Feng Xiuhu, "We need to pay more for this trip."

"Just name a price."

Feng Xiuhu waved his hand gracefully, and he was determined to take this divine bath today.

The driver looked at Feng Xiuhu, then at Shunzi, and then raised his finger: "One."

One string contains one hundred copper beads.

Feng Xiuhu didn't know the market situation, so he looked at Shunzi.

Shunzi got anxious and pointed at the driver's nose and cursed: "You're driving a black car!"

The driver's face turned sour. "What are you talking about? Everyone knows there's only one place in the lower city where you can take a divine bath. It's not close! Normally, I'd charge fifty copper beads for just one person, and look at you—why shouldn't I charge you for three people?"

"Who says it isn't?"

"That's a perfect calculation!"

"I'll have to pay more for this trip."

The drivers sitting in a long row pointed and expressed their agreement.

Shunzi's face turned red with anxiety, but he had no way to refute - after all, he paid extra for the elevator.

Feng Xiuhu also thought it made sense, so he gestured to Shunzi: "I thought it was very expensive, pay for it."

Shunzi rubbed his sweaty hands on his clothes and said awkwardly, "Brother... I don't have enough money."

Feng Xiuhu almost jumped up. "Where's the money? Where's all the money I had yesterday?!"

Shunzi quickly explained: "Don't worry, big brother. I don't dare to carry so much money on me. I just hid it in the old place. No one knows where it is except us two brothers."

Feng Xiuhu became even more anxious when he heard this - he didn't know either!

He looked at Shunzi's thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked honest and simple. He didn't seem like the type to try to get something for nothing, so he calmed down and said, "Good brother, I feel uneasy when I don't have money on me. Take me to see it quickly."

The driver was fed up: "Hey! What's going on? You won't move again?"

"Just wait!"

Feng Xiuhu left a sentence and left in a hurry with Shunzi.

The two men walked back along the way they came. Halfway through, they suddenly saw a man running towards them. When he came close, he was gasping for breath.

Feng Xiuhu felt that the man looked familiar and recognized him as one of the brothers who followed Shunzi yesterday.

"Er Mazi, what happened?"

Sunja asked nervously.

Er Mazi propped himself up on his knees and pointed to the other side: "Squad leader, the priest wants you over. He said there's something urgent."
