As the most prosperous city in Terra, Londinium also has dark corners, namely the old town. Similar to the lower town of Longmen, the old town of Londinium is called the slum by the people here because most of the poor people in Londinium live here. As for more, the official settings are not given and I am too lazy to compile them, so the introduction of the old town ends here (crossed out). I won’t go into detail about the story of the old town. Chen An rode his bicycle slowly and it took him half an hour to get here from the bustling city. It was only a half-hour drive, but it felt like we had arrived in another world. The downtown area is a prosperous and bustling city, but the old town is a dilapidated and old town. This is not an exaggeration; it is the truth. Most of the buildings in the old town are very old...not old in the sense of being accumulated with time and history, but really old. Although there are many pedestrians on the roadside, most of them are in a hurry. Occasionally, you can see people arguing on the roadside and swearing.
The road is not clean. When passing through the alley, you can see piles of garbage and sewage from the alley entrance. In general, it is somewhat similar to the lower town area of Longmen. Of course, the "like" here refers to the atmosphere of depression, decadence and barbarism that permeates the air and can be clearly felt by people, not the environment - the language and culture are different, how can the environment be the same? When they arrived at the old town, Chen An got out of the car, pushed the car, walked slowly on the road, and observed everything on the roadside with interest. He was not from the old city. Almost everyone in the old city who saw Chen An noticed this at the first moment, even the young children. Some people were curious about the stranger who appeared out of nowhere, but most people just cast a curious glance and no longer paid attention to Chen An. Occasionally, those who are more curious will only look at it for a few more seconds and then look away. No one came up to talk to Chen An, and similarly, no one came up to cause trouble for Chen An. Because although Chen An had been observing curiously, his expression remained calm from beginning to end. There was no unpleasant arrogance or contempt, nor any sympathy or compassion. His temperament does not have the arrogance and so-called aristocratic air that people in the old city find particularly offensive. Instead, he has a kind of friendly feeling that makes people feel very comfortable. So even if the gangsters on the street saw Chen An, they would just glance at him, or look a little longer because he was handsome, and then turn their faces away nonchalantly and no longer pay attention to him. I don't have the usual intention of causing trouble or extorting money from outsiders. Chen An walked slowly on the road until a girl blocked his way. A purple-black short-sleeved jacket with a base shirt of the same color underneath, a purple skirt, and stockings of the same color. He has purple hair and purple eyes, pointed horns, and his hair is tied up, revealing his pointed ears. He is a Sarkaz. Not from the old town. The first time he saw her, Chen An was sure of it. The girl blocked Chen An's way and looked him up and down. She curled her lips in contempt and said, "You look like a weak person. You run around here alone. Aren't you afraid of being dragged down to hell by greedy evil spirits?" Weak people, greedy demons, hell?
Chen An was stunned for a moment, looking at the purple-haired girl with a thoughtful look in his eyes. The girl said again: "You can tell at a glance that you are not from Londinium, you are so stupid... Hey, I have to leave here urgently. You have a car, how about taking me with you?" Chen An did not answer. His expression turned grim and he uttered a cool and powerful line: "The sky is calling, the earth is calling, and justice is calling." The sky is calling, the earth is calling, justice is calling... After a moment of silence, the girl repeated what Chen An said in her mind. Her eyes sparkled slightly, and she had only one thought in her mind - this is so cool! Chen An added: "My heart and my mind are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just." The girl's feigned contemptuous expression could no longer be maintained, and stars appeared in her eyes. "My appearance here is not an accident or coincidence, but a guidance of justice." Holding the bicycle kickstand, Chen An came to the girl, stretched out his hand to her, and said with a smile: "Justice guided me to find you, girl, let's be friends." The girl held Chen An's hand without hesitation and said very seriously: "Yan Rong, what you just said is so cool, I like it." That's not cool, that's immature. Complaining in his heart, Chen An said seriously: "I have many more lines like this. If you like, I can teach you. By the way, my name is Chen An, Chen in Chen An, An in Chen An. If you think my name is too long, you can call me by my nickname, which is The Most Handsome Man in the World." The most handsome man in the world? Yan Rong looked at Chen An in a daze. Suddenly I felt like I was being hasty in making friends. ...... Chapter 115: The rich woman caught you! Relying on the handsome (zhong) and energetic (er) lines, Chen An made new friends. After chatting with her for a while, Chen An had a general understanding of her situation. Just as Chen An noticed when he saw her for the first time, Yan Rong, like him, was not from the old city. However, she was a native of Londinium and came from an ordinary family that was not poor. But because she liked to deal with the poor and wandering orphans, she always frequented the old town. She has a bit of a hard mouth and is a middle school girl, but she is a nice person. The reason why he stopped Chen An on the road was not because he really had something to do and wanted to borrow his car and leave in a hurry, but because he saw that he was not from the old town and thought that if he continued to wander around the old town alone, he might get into trouble, so he did this. Of course, Yan Rong did not admit this, it was Chen An who guessed it himself. Because of Chen An's words "the most handsome man in the world", Yan Rong felt that he had made a hasty friendship. However, after chatting with him for a while and hearing many handsome lines from him, Yan Rong no longer had such thoughts in his mind. Instead, he felt that he regretted meeting him too late. Yan Rong's eyes sparkled: "How cool! Where did you learn these words? Why haven't I seen them before?" "Some are from TV, some are from books, and some are from other people." Pushing the cart and walking on the road with Yan Rong, Chen An said with a smile: "I remember a lot of these lines. If you like, I can tell you all of them."
"Yeah." Yan Rong nodded repeatedly, looking very expectant. Chen An smiled and changed the subject temporarily: "You said before that this place is not suitable for outsiders to come here, why did you come here?" "I'm different from others. I come here often to play." Yan Rong subconsciously puffed out his chest, looking like he wanted to be proud, but also disdained to be proud: "Helping others is a cool thing, I like to do cool things." To translate, I am a good person and I like to do good things. Chen An understood and his eyes softened. Yan Rong was a bit childish, but he didn't like to show off, so he explained it casually and then complained: "Besides, playing in the slums is much better than at home. I have a guy named Furong at home, and that guy is simply a heinous criminal. I'm not a child, but she always wants me to go to bed early, saying that early to bed and early to rise are good for the body. She also likes to make some terrible things for me to eat, saying that they are nutritious meals, but how can there be such a bad nutritious meal? How can she have no idea how bad the things she makes are?" The resentment seemed to be really deep, and Yan Rong couldn't stop talking when he talked about Furong. He mumbled and complained a lot. Chen An didn't interrupt and just listened with a smile. "Devil's food. She must have thought I was living too well and wanted me to go to hell sooner." After Yan Rong said this, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have complained too much and felt a little embarrassed. Her face flushed slightly, and she pretended to be calm, and changed the subject in a clumsy way: "Don't just listen to me, what about you? The name Chen An doesn't sound like a Victorian. You are a tourist from outside, right? Why would you want to run to a place like the slums instead of staying in the city?" "I'm a doctor." said Chen An. "Doctor?" Yan Rong raised his eyebrows in surprise. She looked at Chen An suspiciously: "Shouldn't doctors wear white coats? Why are you wearing black? Are you bragging?" "Do you think I'm bragging?" "feel." Yan Rong smacked his lips and told the truth: "Our Victoria doctors are very noble. Poor people look down on them, so why would they come to the slums? And doctors, shouldn't they stay in the hospital every day?" Not only expensive, but also slow. It is common in Londinium to go to a hospital or a better private clinic to make an appointment and then wait in line for three to five days. "I'm a doctor from outside...although I'm just a traveling doctor." Chen An made a joke and said, "My profession as a doctor is just a secondary job. I like to travel around. This time I came to Londinium just to travel here." "What does this have to do with you coming to the ghetto?" Chen An replied: "Of course it is related. I will probably stay in Londinium for a while. I don't want to waste this time, so I plan to open a clinic here. Come and take a look first." Yan Rong was a little confused: "Opening a clinic here, what are you thinking? Didn't I tell you that poor people can't afford to see doctors? The slums are full of poor people, okay?" "I am not a doctor to make money, I just want to find something to do when I have nothing to do."
Chen An smiled slightly: "I am not a rich man, but I can make a decent living, and I don't pursue great wealth. For me, medical skills are not a tool to make money, but a skill to help people. In this case, why not help those patients who need help without getting in the way of myself?" Yan Rong was speechless. Looking at Chen An's warm smile, the girl suddenly remembered a sentence she had heard from him before - My heart and my mind are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just. ...... "It's getting late, Yan Rong, I should go back. I'll come again tomorrow. See you tomorrow." "Then I'll see you tomorrow. Just wait and see. I'm the local boss here. By tomorrow, I'll definitely find a suitable place for you to open a clinic. Justice will guide me." "Then trouble you." After wandering around the old town for a morning, Chen An said goodbye to Yan Rong when it was almost noon and he had to go back to cook. Yan Rong felt somewhat unwilling. After knowing the reason why Chen An came to the slums, she thought about helping Chen An find a suitable place to open a clinic, but after spending a morning with him, she did not succeed in fulfilling her wish. Without trying to keep Chen An, after making solemn promises to him, Yan Rong waved to him and watched him leave. Riding a bicycle out of the old town, Chen An returned home. But on the way, a black car coming from the opposite direction stopped him. Chen An looked at the car blocking the road in surprise, and without thinking much, he turned the car around to take a detour. The car door opened, and Shi Huaiya got out of the car. She looked at Chen An and shouted angrily: "Mr. Chen, where do you want to go!?" Chen An was stunned, and blurted out two words: "Rich woman!?" ...... Time goes back to two hours ago. Around nine o'clock in the morning, Shi Huaiya and Chen returned to Londinium. After taking a car to the temporary manor where she was staying, the manor's housekeeper found her. He said respectfully, "Miss, the person you asked to find some time ago has been found. Do you want me to send someone to bring him to you?" "found it?" Shi Huaiya blinked and immediately showed an expression of surprise. But then, she thought of something, and she showed her sharp fangs and her eyes became ferocious. He would rather take two thugs from Penguin Logistics than a rich young lady like her who is so rich that she is shining with gold. That bastard is dead! ...... Chen An was humming a little tune and riding his bike leisurely on the way home when an old acquaintance suddenly appeared and stopped him on the road, which surprised Chen An.
He looked at Shi Huaiya in surprise, with her delicate fangs showing and her fierce look, and thought he was hallucinating. Shouldn't the rich woman be in Longmen? Why did she come to Londinium? While Chen An was in a daze, Shi Huaiya came to him angrily. She wagged her tail and shouted, "Mr. Chen, explain to me clearly why I, Beatrix, am inferior to those two Penguin Logistics thugs. When you left Longmen, you took them with you but not me. Do you look down on me?" Chen An didn't say anything, but looked Shi Huaiya up and down. Cat ears, twin ponytails, and tiger teeth, has the rich woman really appeared? After thinking about it, he felt that he should not jump to such a hasty conclusion, so Chen An parked the car, stretched out a hand, and poked Shi Huaiya's face with his finger.
