In fact, she had stayed here for a long time, so long that it took up a quarter of her vacation. What's more, she had never thought that she would have to spend two months on another trip full of unexpected events.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard two people talking. Actually, she really didn't mean to eavesdrop, but their voices were too loud, and Liu Liang couldn't help but listen.
"A lot of people came outside."
A man said to his companion, "But this dark street doesn't seem to be anything special. It's even worse than the open street. At least the things sold in the open street are much cheaper than here. A cup of tea costs 500 yuan, which is an average person's monthly salary."
So he really couldn't see what was so interesting about this dark street that would attract so many people to come here from across the ocean?
"Then you don't know."
His companion was quite satisfied with the dark streets. "What you see now are just appetizers for the dark streets, which are used for relaxation. The so-called dark streets are naturally not in the open, and they can't be at this time. They are after midnight. That's when they become dark streets in the true sense. At that time, the things sold are beyond your imagination."
"You can say that everything you want is here. It just depends on whether you have enough money."
Not to mention the man who thought the dark street was boring, even Liu Liang stopped and was about to leave.
The show started at midnight. Fortunately, she didn't go out, otherwise she would have missed it. She waited for half a month before she finally got to the dark street.
that is……
Liu Liang raised her wrist to check the time.
It's only around eight o'clock now. If it's one o'clock in the morning, there are still more than four hours.
Could it be that she had to eat again in these four hours? Even though her money could afford it, her stomach couldn't.
At this moment, the word "Inn" was written on a lantern in front of a small shop.
Liu Liang walked over.
"Want to stay in a hotel?"
The proprietress who was counting on an abacus inside asked Liu Liang.
And every time this happened, Liu Jing always felt like she was traveling through time and space again, even though she knew it was fake.
"Yes, stay at the hotel."
Liu Liang replied.
"Three thousand for the upper room, two thousand for the middle room, and one thousand for the lower room."
The proprietress smiled and asked, "Which one would you like to choose?"
And the sky-high price she quoted was really not too high at all.
"Come upstairs."
Liu Liang was about to leave because it was too expensive, but when she put the dozen or so land contracts in her ring, she remembered that she was a rich person now and would be even richer in the future.
A person's life is only a few short decades long. If she doesn't enjoy it now, won't she just enjoy it one day less?
So she asked for the upper room directly. Although she didn't know the difference between the upper room and the lower room, there was no problem in buying the more expensive one.
The proprietress took Liu Liang's money and gave her a key.
Liu Liang turned the key in her hand. It was just an ordinary key, but there was a white magnolia made of jade hanging on it.
Although the quality of the jade is not top quality, it is indeed made of real jade.
Liu Liang took the key and found the corresponding room. She had been to Ming Street dozens of times, sometimes several times a day, but she never knew that there was an inn here.
And I've never heard of it.
But she knew that the dark streets were different from the open streets. The dark streets here were a very peculiar place. Some things could only be bought in the dark streets. Of course, some places might only be open in the dark streets.
Moreover, this place is so expensive that it is usually not open. However, once it opens, you can eat there for three years. Even if the dark street misses a year due to various reasons, you will still make up for the money from the previous year next year.
She walked in and closed the door.
The room is not big, but the inside is just like the outside, antique and even the bath tub in the bathroom is made of wood. There is a gauze curtain hanging on the bed, which can be used to block light and keep away mosquitoes.
Liu Liang sat on the wooden bed and could clearly smell the fresh scent of wood coming from all around.
Made of logs, it is rarely seen nowadays.
She lay down, and a faint coolness came from the back of her head.
I don’t know what’s inside this pillow, but it actually has such an effect.
It seems that the three thousand yuan was not wasted.
She closed her eyes, and before long, she felt exhausted all over, and then she fell asleep unknowingly.
Until she vaguely heard a noise and someone shouting.
The dark street is open, please go downstairs.
Liu Liang opened her eyes and sat up. Of course, she became much more awake. No wonder it was so expensive. It turned out that it had a purely manual wake-up function.
Liu Liang walked downstairs. When the proprietress saw her, she smiled at her.
Liu Liang also nodded slightly to her and then walked out.
It was already around one in the morning, but the crowds were still as large as ever. Those selling food were still busy, but the shops on both sides, which were originally closed, were now brightly lit again, and the things displayed inside were completely different from those on the open street.
Ming Street usually sells some food and handicrafts, but this time they are selling antiques and the like, and every household has the same items.
Liu Liang finally believed what the man said. The night before was just an appetizer of the dark street. The real dark street would begin in the second half of the night, after midnight.
There are so many antique calligraphy and paintings that even a store specializing in antiques and cultural relics cannot have so many.
There are more than a hundred of them, and each one is open to welcome customers.
Liu Liang walked into a small shop and looked at the dazzling array of goods inside. She couldn't help but feel a little dazzled.
There are jade, gold, silver, and some pottery.
However, just as others have said about dark streets, they are the best places to shop for treasures, but it is not easy to find real treasures here.
It is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Liu Liang placed her hand on a piece of jade.
The jade looks good, but it is a modern imitation. Although it has been deliberately made to look older in appearance, no matter how old it is, it is still fake. It lacks the heaviness and age that time has given it.
Liu Liang let go of her hand and went to look at another one.
She looked at about ten pieces, eight of which were fake, but only two were authentic. They were not too old, and they were relatively large vases.
Liu Liang did want to buy some, but they were a little too big. She couldn't possibly carry all of them back home, right?
So in the end she was not tempted, but walked out of Zhang's store and went to another one.
