Chapter 599: Whip up
Chu Feng knew that it was impossible for those villagers to deceive him, so there were only two possibilities, either the shopkeeper was lying, or the villagers were deceived by those traders.
No matter which one it was, Chu Feng wanted to figure it out.
"Young man, what you have in here is an ordinary stone, do you know what is written on it?" The shopkeeper seemed to be a good man, and he was not annoyed by the fake money, and his tone was still very calm.
"What kind of words are written?" Chu Feng asked with a frown.
"That's stupidity, if you got this money from someone else, then you have been deceived, if you don't believe me, you can go somewhere else and ask again. The shopkeeper sighed, seeming sympathetic.
"It's the traders, they're the ones who lied to us!"
Ishiyama reacted, and now he finally understood why those traders refused to allow them to buy things with this kind of "money", because it was not money at all.
The girl on the side, her eyes wide, obviously did not recover from this sudden surprise.
The money, that was the money that their village had worked so hard to save, it was the money that they had given to the warriors on behalf of their hearts, but now, it was not money, it was just ordinary stones.
It feels like they deceived the Warriors, they fooled the Warriors with stones!
"Hey, there are a lot of bad people in this world!" the shopkeeper sighed again, then stretched out his hand and took out something from his arms, "Look carefully, this is 'Dou Yan', don't be deceived in the future." ”
Chu Feng and the three of them stared at the shopkeeper's palm, on which there were several metal coins, the pattern was like a clenched fist, and there were strange patterns on it.
Is this the world's money?
Chu Feng stared at it for a long time, and couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that this is the money here!"
When he first saw the "money" taken out by the villagers, he felt like a stone, but he didn't expect it to be a stone.
Coming out of this shop, the three of them were in a bad mood, and they originally thought that they could buy a lot of things when they came to town this time.
But now, they don't even have a "bucket", some are just stones.
"Those guys, what they did is really amazing, even the simple villagers are so fooled, next time, don't let me touch it. Chu Feng thought so in his heart, and had already decided that when those trading ships went again, he must give the other party some color.
"Lord Warrior, I'm sorry!" suddenly heard the sound of a girl choking up beside him, startling Chu Feng.
Chu Feng looked back, and sure enough, he saw that the girl had tears in her eyes, and she might cry at any time.
"Yeya, what's wrong, why are you crying so well?" Chu Feng smiled and comforted.
"Warrior, I'm sorry, we didn't know it wasn't money, we didn't know it was stone. As the girl spoke, tears were already running down her cheeks.
Their simplicity is ridiculed by others, and their kindness is trampled on, and whoever is put on this kind of thing will feel wronged.
"It's okay, it's not your fault!" Chu Feng continued to comfort.
After a long time, the girl's mood finally stabilized, but she was the same as Shi Shan, the two of them lowered their heads, and their sad expressions were clear at a glance.
After many inquiries, Chu Feng had confirmed that the ones in their hands were indeed not money, and he also learned that they were not the first to be deceived, and there were people who used similar stones for money.
"Let's see if we can think of another way, get some money, and don't run in vain. Chu Feng thought about this question in his heart, he didn't say this idea, he was afraid that Shi Shan and the girl would be even more sad.
"I wonder if there are any pawnshops or anything like that around here?" The first way Chu Feng thought of was to exchange some of the small items he owned for money.
It's a pity that after searching along the street for a long time, I didn't find this kind of pawnshop, even if it was similar.
It is said that the town is too poor, and it has to pay "tribute" to some people on a regular basis, and no one can afford to open such a pawnshop, and the good things are not enough to rob!
Some items that have not been seen before, timid shop owners, do not dare to accept them at all, for fear of causing trouble.
In the process of inquiring, Chu Feng and the three of them unexpectedly learned that the salt mixed with sand was not used to eat directly for people at all, but was used to pickle some dishes, and that kind of salt was very cheap, and a bucket of salt could be bought.
Ishiyama and the girl were hurt twice, and now they know that those traders actually treated them like animals, exchanging the most inferior things for them.
What exactly are they doing wrong?
I have been deceived again and again!
If they hadn't met Chu Feng, if they hadn't come here, they wouldn't know when they would have been able to know what they really wanted.
I'm so unwilling!
Ishiyama and the girl have never been so lost as they are at this moment.
Seeing the two of them like this, Chu Feng was not in the mood to hang out, so he was ready to find a place to rest first, and as for how to get the money, it was not too late to think about it later.
As you walk forward, you can see that there are some vendors carrying burdens on both sides of the street, most of them mainly sell food, and passers-by will buy some as dry food for convenience.
This discovery gave Chu Feng an idea.
"Let's go to the front and take a rest, it seems to be good there!" Chu Feng said, pointing to an open space in front of him.
Shi Shan and the girl had no opinion at all, the two of them hadn't spoken for a long time, and they followed behind Chu Feng silently.
The clearing, too, has some vendors, and some pedestrians choose to rest there, making it look like a small bazaar.
Just as Chu Feng and the three of them were about to walk there, suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came quickly from the front.
In a short time, I saw more than a dozen tall horses galloping over, and the riders sitting on the horses, ignoring the pedestrians on the street, kept pumping the whips in their hands to make the horses run faster.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way if you don't want to die!" a loud voice came from the horse.
Some pedestrians even fell to the ground in order to escape.
The riders on horseback didn't care about this, but they laughed so much that they even whipped their whips at the pedestrians on the side of the road.
"What is the origin of these people, is this the rhythm of horse racing on the street?" Looking at the horses galloping over, although Chu Feng was curious, he also moved aside with interest.
After a few breaths, the man on horseback had approached.
"It's grandma's, give me a flash, Lao Tzu lost because of you!"
The man on horseback, with a fiery temper, raised the whip in his hand and danced wildly, one of which was clearly drawn at the maiden wild girl who flashed to the side of the road.
