Chapter 99: Guangming Street with its unique Feng Shui
. After walking out of the station, Lin Yi was immediately surrounded by a group of people enthusiastically.
These taxi and illegal car drivers, like hounds with a keen sense of smell, are stationed at the entrance of the train station all year round, and are full of expectations for every passenger leaving the station.
"Handsome guy, do you want a ride? My car is cheap and comfortable, and I guarantee you will be satisfied!" a driver greeted enthusiastically.
"Hey, don't listen to him. His car is so shaky and rickety. Come take my car and I will take you safely to where you want to go." Another driver tried to sell himself.
When several people saw Lin Yi, they acted as if they had seen a treasure, and vied with each other to show off their advantages, hoping to attract this business.
"I don't want to share a car. I'm in a hurry. I'm going to Guangming Street for 20 yuan. Is anyone going there?"
Upon hearing the offer, a black car driver's eyes suddenly lit up.
He quickly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, stomped it out with his foot, and then walked quickly towards Lin Yi.
"Handsome, take my car." He took Lin Yi's luggage enthusiastically and said with a smile on his face, "I promise to take you to Guangming Street quickly and safely, and I will not delay you."
The other drivers were dissatisfied as they saw their business being taken away and couldn't help but start cursing.
They originally wanted to grab this business, but they didn't expect that they would be taken away by someone before they knew it.
Lin Yi calmly got into the car, ignoring the complaints of the drivers around him.
As the car door slammed shut, the driver skillfully fastened his seat belt, then stepped on the accelerator hard and the car rushed out like an arrow.
Along the way, the driver swung through traffic with ease thanks to his familiarity with the road conditions.
The car sped along, taking Lin Yi quickly to Guangming Street.
"Hey, young man, your accent doesn't sound like a local. What are you doing in Guangming Street?" While waiting for the red light, the driver couldn't help but chat with Lin Yi.
"My friend opened a store over there, I'm going to take a look."
After hearing this, the driver showed an expression of disbelief, "Oh, there are still people who would choose to open a store on Guangming Street? I'm not exaggerating, that place, even rats would shake their heads." When he said this, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and it was obvious that he knew the situation on Guangming Street very well.
You have to know that opening a store on Guangming Street is like opening a restaurant in front of a public toilet. No one with a mental problem would make such a choice.
"Is there anything special going on over at Guangming Street?"
When the driver heard this, he immediately became interested and started to talk about the story of Guangming Street. "You don't know, Guangming Street is simply a mystery in our city. The place is extremely remote and sparsely populated, and it is said that several underworld organizations are hiding nearby. Therefore, most people are reluctant to go there, for fear of getting into big trouble for no reason."
At this point, the driver showed a fearful look on his face, sighed, and continued: "To be honest, I was really worried about your friend choosing to open a store there. But maybe he has his own plans and considerations."
While chatting with the black car driver, the car had unknowingly stopped in front of a store at the end of Guangming Road.
After paying the money, Lin Yi got off the car with his luggage.
Looking around, Lin Yi found that this place was indeed as the driver said, remote and deserted, with almost no one to be seen on the entire street.
There were only a few old men and women strolling slowly, enjoying the leisurely afternoon.
Deep in the alley, sounds of fighting and quarreling can be heard from time to time, which makes people worry about the safety here.
Lin Yi stood on Guangming Street, looking around at the sparsely open shops, an expression of laughter appeared on his face.
The commercial atmosphere on this street is really ridiculous and so unique that it cannot be ignored.
In addition to the unique jewelry store opened by Su Xiao, there are also wreath and funeral clothing stores, flower, bird, fish and insect stores, and antique shops on the street.
The four shops have very different styles, but are strangely gathered on this deserted street, forming an absurd comedy scene.
If guests come to this street to shop, they really need a strong heart.
From exquisite jewelry, to mourning wreaths and shrouds, to leisurely flowers, birds, fish and insects, you may even find a treasure in an antique shop.
It's like a wonderful journey through time and space.
Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. He really couldn't understand Su Xiao's original idea. Why did he choose to open a store in such a remote place full of strange shops?
Pushing open the door of Lidya Su's jewelry store, the crisp doorbell rang. Lin Yi walked in and found that there was another person there.
"How strange!" Fatty Ma spoke first, breaking the silence in the store, "Su Xiao, you actually have customers in your store, it's really rare!"
"Your place is really hard to find, but the environment is not bad." Lin Yi sat on the chair he moved and looked at Su Xiao's store.
After hearing Lin Yi's words, Fatty Ma showed a puzzled look on his face.
He has been here for so many years, but this is the first time he has heard someone praise the environment of Guangming Street.
You know, even the police are unwilling to come to this damn place, and the security situation is extremely poor.
"You said the environment is good? This is Guangming Street, are you sure you're right?" Fatty Ma couldn't help but ask, with a hint of ridicule and disbelief in his tone.
Hearing this, Lin Yi smiled softly and shook his head: "I'm not talking nonsense, the environment here is indeed okay. Although it looks a bit shabby and deserted, it has a unique atmosphere. Moreover, the air here is much better than in the city center."
Hearing Lin Yi's serious answer, Fatty Ma was stunned.
He took another look at his surroundings, as if trying to find the unique atmosphere and fresh air that Lin Yi had mentioned.
However, all he saw were still dilapidated and deserted streets and the occasional sound of fighting.
"Okay, Fatty Ma, drive your car out. My friend is here. Let's go out for a meal together." Su Xiao said, putting away the tablet in his hand.
At this time, Su Xiao had passed 465 levels of the game developed by Pi Pang, and the game was about to be halfway through.
Upon hearing this, Fatty Ma immediately stood up from his chair and said with a smile on his face: "Good fellow, I was wondering how anyone could come to such a ghost place, it turns out you are your friend! Well, I'll treat you to dinner today." With that, he turned and ran to the Wreath and Funeral Clothing Shop next door.
After a while, Lin Yi heard a sound like an airplane engine starting outside.
He looked outside the door in confusion, and saw Fatty Ma driving a damaged version of the Jinbei van from World War II and parked in front of the jewelry store.
The car looked older than Lin Yi and it could fall apart at any time.
"Is this your car?" Lin Yi asked with some shock in his tone.
"Hey, don't look at it because it's broken. It's my treasure." Fatty Ma said with a proud smile, "It can't go anywhere else, but it's the most practical means of transportation on Guangming Street. Come on, let's go eat."
Lin Yi shook his head helplessly and followed Lidya Su into the shabby Jinbei van.
As the car door closed, a harsh metal friction sound was heard, and the three people were driven towards a nearby restaurant.
