“Hey – you!”
The stall owner swallowed hard and stretched his neck to look for Joyner in the crowd.
But Joyner has disappeared long ago. Where can she still see her figure?
“Pah!”
The vendor stood there for a long time, holding the money in one hand, and slapped himself hard with the other hand!
His face was burning with pain. This slap was not only to wake him up and see if he was dreaming; secondly, it was also to punish him for looking down on others.
I didn’t expect that after setting up a stall here for several years and getting countless visitors, I would miss it today.
At first, he thought Joyner was a scavenger, but he didn’t expect that the other party turned out to be a rich man with such generous spending!
After leaving the stall, Joyner started to speed up and ran out of the market.
After running out of the market, Joyner’s speed increased completely and she rushed towards the southern area of the city that the stall owner mentioned.
As expected, the prosperity of the southern city is better than seeing it. There are more buildings here than in the northern area, but they also look more dilapidated. The architectural styles of the houses are all kinds of strange, and they are scattered high and low. They look like the old city of a hidden sand castle.
The people here seemed to have just experienced a carnival. The high platform made of wooden frames had not been removed. The ground nearby was full of garbage, most of which was soaked by rain and was in a mess.
Several drunk men were lying under the trees by the roadside, laughing and talking nonsense to each other, as if they were talking about the beautiful slave girls they saw today.
The slave market just after the transaction was quickly occupied by other traders, shouting for sales. However, people’s enthusiasm seemed to have cooled down with the end of the slave trade, and people saw more and bought less.
Joyner paid attention to what others were talking about and walked slowly. She saw a skinny woman being pushed aside. The jar in her hand rolled down and landed right at her feet.
“Go away!”
A strong man threatened the woman fiercely, thrust his waist and spat on the ground, “You don’t have money to sell water, but you still want to steal it? Don’t let me see you again. If I see you, you will be beaten immediately.” ! “
Behind the strong man is a large, dilapidated iron tank truck. In front of the truck is an old horse with two logs tied to it. There was a faucet installed on the big iron can. After being touched thousands of times, the handle of the faucet had turned a shiny metallic color.
“I beg you, please give me some water… My man is sick and hasn’t drank water for two days…”
The skinny woman got up and didn’t bother to brush off the dirt on her body, and started Begging.
Her pupils were like polished black gems, with helplessness in her eyes, as if she still hadn’t given up hope.
“Get out of here, don’t block the way. Don’t you understand what I’m saying?”
“It’s none of my business that your man is sick. If you want water, just buy it with your money!” After the strong man finished speaking, he continued to greet the others. The customers buying water ignored the thin woman.
The people next to me seemed to be used to this kind of thing, and they also shouted, “You have no money, so you should just do some skin trading to change money!”
“Stealing water when you don’t have money? Why don’t you go catch some rainwater, that No money!”
“Hahaha——”
After hearing this, the people around burst into laughter.
Joyner’s face changed color slightly. She didn’t expect that clean water was sold in Hidden Sand Castle.
She bent down to pick up the jar, walked over to the woman, and handed the jar back to her.
The woman took the jar numbly, her eyes dull.
She just stared at the clear water flowing out of the faucet and said nothing, not even a thank you to Joyner.
Joyner shook her head slightly. She felt an indescribable feeling in her heart as she watched people queuing up to fetch water, paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.
“I paid for her and sold her a can of water.” Joyner said after looking at it for a moment.
Hearing this, the skinny woman suddenly raised her head.

was stunned when he saw Joyner’s face hidden in the shadow cast by the stretched headscarf, looking at her with bright eyes.
These eyes seem to be glowing!
“W-what are you talking about? You want to pay for her?” After a few seconds, the strong man turned his head and looked at Joyner with an astonished expression on his face.
“Yes, fill up her jar and I’ll give you the money.”
Joyner took out a coin from the small bag she carried, threw it to the strong man, and said, “Is this money enough to buy several jars? Is there anything left over? Give her the money, and you can sell it to her whenever she comes.”
The crowd began to whisper, and everyone showed some indescribable strange expression.
“Ha–ok, bring it.”
The strong man said with a sullen face, stretched out his hand, grabbed the jar from the thin woman’s hand, filled it with water and handed it back.
The woman held the jar in one hand, glanced at Joyner, and still didn’t say a word.
“Hmph, it seems you are not a local, right?” The strong man scratched his cheek, and after finishing his work, he did not forget to say something incomprehensible.
“So what?” Joyner raised her eyebrows slightly.
“It’s nothing, you’re a stranger, you have to pay some tuition…” The strong man continued doing business, and muttered without looking at Joyner.
Well, what do you mean?
Joyner stood there, her eyes slightly focused, and she immediately began to ponder the meaning of this sentence.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a slight tremor on her body, as if someone was stealing her money bag from behind!
However, Joyner reacted quickly, reaching out her hand like lightning and grabbing that sinful, dirty hand!
“Uh… you!”
Joyner lowered her head and glanced, her face froze, her thoughts suddenly fluctuated violently, and then she stood stunned for five seconds.
“Why you?”
She saw that she was holding a small and dry wrist in her hand – but her hands were very strong. The skinny woman’s eyes were like polished black gems, with a look of fear and complexity.
In shock, Joyner slowly moved her palm away, still looking in disbelief.
When Joyner let go of her hand, the woman immediately turned around, hugged the jar and ran away in panic, without saying a word, and disappeared into the crowd.
Clean water is an important resource for Hidden Sand Castle, coming from a year-round mountain spring in the west outside the city. Now this lifeline has been controlled by the Xuanming Gang for many years, and a water diversion pipeline has been built for this purpose and introduced into the city.
However, the only water outlet is surrounded by a brick wall. Watchtowers and sentries are built outside the wall, and are protected day and night by gangs and thugs.
Every morning, water sellers line up to collect water and sell it in the streets and alleys.
