Winter night!

It’s about nine o’clock!

Liu Dongming took Bai Jingting, Brother Yong and three brothers to the western suburbs.

This time, everyone except Bai Jingting brought the guys to eat.

Liu Dongming brought a pistol.

Now the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce has purchased a lot of guns from Xu Bai, but it still needs to be avoided in the city. Once it is done, it will be a big deal.

Of course, if it is just a small-scale gunfight, there may not be any problems.

As long as the background is strong enough!

No one dares to speak out.

After all, Qinglong Chamber of Commerce is a foreign chamber of commerce. Although it is now famous for the Qinglong Supermarket, its foundation is unstable after all, so it still needs to develop vulgarity. It is necessary to restrain it if you have to.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, but the moon was hanging high in the sky, and the road could be seen clearly through the thin fog.

Soon, the group arrived in the western suburbs.

"Crossing Muma Street and then passing Wuyi Lane, you'll be there!" Bai Jingting led the way to a dilapidated street and stopped to Liu Dongming, "This is Muma Street. In the past, the livestock business was very prosperous. Every day, Xilaixi was very lively!"

Only then did Liu Dongming take a closer look at the street.

The entire street uses the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. No, to be precise, it is actually the buildings of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The streets are all paved with bluestone slabs, but perhaps because of the age of time, the stone slabs have no longer been smooth but become concave, showing helplessness and desolation.

Before he could take a few steps, Liu Dongming couldn't help but frown.

Bai Jingting also found that Liu Dongming was wrong, looked at the black water at Liu Dongming's feet and said, "It should be the coal water on the other side of the coal yard, and you will disappear after walking through this street!"

"Coal water?" Liu Dongming squatted down, took out a match, and then took a special look after it was fired.

It is indeed the coal water produced by coal ash when it encounters water.

It is black and mixed with a lot of impurities. With the light of light, you can even see that the entire street is burning black.

"Is there no one here to care about so much coal and water?" Liu Dongming stood up and asked again.

Even if there is a spoil of stale water on the street, people will curse me, let alone so much coal water.

It's better when it's cold or rainy. Although it takes one step at a time, it doesn't affect people's lives much.

But once the weather is clear or summer comes, the dust on the streets is floating in the air. Not to mention people, even plants may not survive.

He observed the surroundings again.

Sure enough, some trees should have been planted on both sides of the street before, but most of them became commanders with bare branches and leaves long ago, leaving only bare trunks.

The situation here should have lasted for a long time.

"No one can control it, and it can't be controlled!" Bai Jingting replied: "There is a large yard in front of me, and there is no such thing as a coal yard. It's said that this coal yard has something to do with me. To be honest, this coal yard was opened by a friend of mine before. The reason why this coal yard was opened was to provide coal to the refinery.

However, although the refinery went bankrupt, the business of his coal yard became prosperous, and he had to pull dozens or even hundreds of cars of coal over almost every month."

The car Bai Jingting refers to is naturally not a ox cart or a horse cart, but a military truck.

Coal is actually a shortage of goods these days, and ordinary people cannot get involved.

A truck has a load of about eight tons, of course it may be even more unfair.

Hundreds of tons per month, that's almost thousands of tons!

There is not much coal in the entire Changsha City, but... can it be used so much for just a coal yard, or civilian use?

Liu Dongming's mind quickly turned around, as if he had thought of something, and asked again: "How can the residents here endure it?"

"That's not!" Bai Jingting said again: "I heard from people before that my friend made a fortune in a coal yard, so he simply bought all the streets. You also know that with a coal yard, no one is willing to buy a house here, and it is indeed not suitable for living here, so the price should not be high."

“That is to say, there are actually all empty rooms here?”

After hearing this, Liu Dongming carefully checked the houses on both sides.

After seeing this, I found many problems.

Almost every house has locks on the doors, and the locks are covered with coal ash. You can tell at a glance that it has not been opened for a long time.

Of course, the coal ash is so thick that it is impossible to tell how long it has been.

A coal yard drove everyone out of the street!

A coal boss bought the entire street for the coal yard!

The most important thing is Bai Jingting’s friend!

Coal is also one of the main raw materials for refining refineries!

If there is no connection here, I won’t believe it if I beat Liu Dongming to death.

However, he didn't continue to say anything, but just passed by the coal yard converted from a large slum and observed it carefully.

The coal yard is actually an open-air coal yard, with a huge courtyard inside, which looks like about twenty acres of land. The coal mountain composed of countless coals stands in the center of the yard.

Coal water slowly flows out from the middle.

Of course, the production of coal water is not specifically for people to wash coal. In fact, there is no saying that coal is washed in this era. The real situation is that the fog in winter is thick, and the water vapor formed is combined with the coal mountains.

Because this coal mountain is big enough, the fog accumulates into water, and it turns into a trickle of flowing towards the streets.

This is only one aspect.

More because of the rain, but these problems are not within Liu Dongming's thinking range.

What he noticed now is not only not coal water, but on the contrary, a small path formed by vehicles crushing behind the coal yard.

At the end of the path was a big door. Through the moonlight, he clearly saw that the handle of the door was reflective, which undoubtedly showed that the door was often used.

“Where does that back door lead to?”

After watching for a long time, Liu Dongming asked Bai Jingting again: "I don't think there is no house behind me, nor can I see the trees."

"later?"

After hearing Liu Dongming's question, Bai Jingting looked at the back door.

He looked at it for a while before saying embarrassedly: "I didn't notice that there was a door here before, but I think it should be after the refinery went bankrupt. I've been here before, yes, there was absolutely no door before."

Then Bai Jingting fell into memories, thought for a while before saying, "I remember that it was some dry fields, and I usually plant some vegetables, but now I don't know!"

"Do you guess it will turn into a road behind?" Liu Dongming smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth, and said, "There are so many coal ash on the street without wheel marks. I think the road behind may be very large, and have you seen it? The deep car marks in front of the back door mean that the coal truck actually came from behind.

But if you want to say that the business here is good, I don’t believe it. I can understand it after transporting coal, but look at their gates, the coal ash is so high. How many people do you think are there to buy coal here?"

Transportation can be carried out through the back door.

The front door is naturally the one that does business.

Does the front door look like a place to do business?

It’s not just like it. Not only is it not like it, but there are not even a few people coming. What kind of business is this considered to be doing?

Seeing Bai Jingting falling into deep thought, Liu Dongming did not disturb him and continued to walk forward slowly.

After walking through Muma Street, we arrived at Wuyi Lane.

It is said to be an alley, but it is actually more like a street.

Although Muma Street and Wuyi Lane are connected, they have a clear feeling.

The streets of Rome are dirty and messy, and they can't even live in people.

However, Wuyi Lane is clean and shady, and there is no garbage in the entire alley from the entrance to the end of the alley, and it looks more like a livable place.

Bai Jingting was secretly surprised as he walked along the way.

Wuyi Lane in the past was not like this.

But he didn't say a word, just silently leading the way.

He hasn't been here for a long time.

He arrived half a year ago because he wanted to come and have a look.

But before he even walked to Rome Street, he was touched by the Three-eyed Bear. In order to deal with the Three-eyed Bear, he smiled and bowed, so he could barely deal with it.

But after dealing with the three-eyed bear, he no longer had the interest to continue checking.

God knows what the Three-Eyed Bear is doing here?

What if you encounter someone who is forced to pay for debt again?

Therefore, since the refinery went bankrupt, Bai Jingting has never come in once.

Even if Liu Dongming hadn't said he would have come and had he seen it, he wouldn't have embarked on this refinery road that almost left his family dead and his wife separated.

"It seems that your friend has made a lot of money!"

Just as Bai Jingting was stunned, Liu Dongming's voice sounded again in his ears.

He looked at Liu Dongming and saw that Liu Dongming was standing in front of a room at this moment, looking at the furnishings on the door with interest.

I saw him looking at one room and then another room, and he kept looking at several houses before stopping.
