Chapter 619: The Grass Cart

On the long street outside the inn, a team of carriages and horses had just marched into Baili Town, there were ten carts, only half of the horses pulling the carts were left, and the rest of the carts were all dragged by strong men. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Since this group of men and horses drove into the town, many people immediately gathered around, and for a time the horses neighed and shouted, and it seemed noisy.

Hearing the voice, Xu Yan frowned, pushed the door and walked out.

Outside the store, Xu Yan saw a strange scene, some half-grown children were clapping and laughing around the carriages and horses, some children climbed on the shoulders of the strong men escorting the goods, and some women even gathered around, some whispered softly, and some wiped their tears.

As if the scene of reunion after a long absence, Xu Yan just glanced at it, and his eyes fell on the goods loaded in those big carts.

Seeing the things in the car, Xu Yan's eyes suddenly changed slightly.

Ten carts, all loaded with the same thing.

Grass!

Nearly 100 strong men came back with ten carts of grass, this kind of strange thing is really confusing.

However, when Xu Yan saw those strange grasses with very fat blades, he became more and more puzzled.

The leaves of the strange grass are fat, and there are purple lines on the leaves, especially in Xu Yan's left eye, this strange grass actually rises with a very faint aura, it is actually a kind of spirit grass!

The spirit grass is not fake, but the spiritual energy is too rare, I am afraid that it will not even reach the level of the lower grade spirit grass, and it basically cannot be used to refine the spirit pill.

The first time Xu Yan saw this strange grass, he couldn't identify what kind of spirit grass belonged to in the north of the sky for a while, and he didn't know the name of this spirit grass.

The convoy stopped not far from the inn, and at this time the leading strong man came on foot.

He is the oldest person in the team, around forty years old, with tendons and flesh, he looks very strong, and he can see that he is extraordinary, especially his breath is very long, and he is much stronger than the innate martial artist.

Building the Foundation Realm......

Xu Yan could roughly see the strength of the other party, the middle-aged strong man should have a foundation building cultivation, while the other strong men were just innate, but he couldn't figure out why the other party came over to him.

Walking to the front of the inn, the strong man glanced at Xu Yan, nodded politely, and then said to the woman standing outside the door: "Heavy rain, your man can't come back this time, here is thirty taels of silver, let's mourn." ”

The woman, who was already tightly pursing the corners of her lips, covered her mouth at this time to prevent herself from crying, but the tears fell down in a pour.

"Uncle Chang, why can't my father come back?" The little boy named Dayu glared and asked seriously, "Is it that Daddy is lost, I'll go find him!" Heavy rain knows the way! ”

The strong man known as Uncle Chang sighed heavily, patted the little boy's head, and said: "The baby grows up quickly, you must learn martial arts diligently when you grow up, from now on, you can only rely on your mother and son, you are a man, remember to protect your mother." ”

The little boy blinked as if he didn't understand, and threw himself into his mother's arms to ask about his father's whereabouts, and the woman held back her tears and told lies to deceive the child.

On a trip, not only did one die, but after pacifying the woman who opened the inn, the strong man walked to several other women who had not found their own man, and each of them gave thirty taels of silver.

Xu Yan, who was standing on the side, saw that he had roughly guessed the ins and outs of the matter, and the young men in these towns went to collect spirit grass, thus losing some manpower.

Even if the aura is very scarce, presumably the strange grass on the cart should also have some effect on the innate martial artist's cultivation, and dying for the sake of the spirit grass is very normal in the eyes of any cultivator.

If you die because of this, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky, if you want to live a safe life, you don't have to take risks.

It is not uncommon to die due to greed, so Xu Yan almost didn't care about the death of the innkeeper, but he was a little sad when he saw the appearance of the boy.

At this time, the strong man surnamed Chang had already finished distributing the silver taels, and began to beckon other strong men to unload the truck, and someone brought a large scale to weigh the weight of those strange grasses.

Thinking that he should distribute the spirit grass to other martial artists who have reached the innate level in the future, Xu Yan looked at the busy crowd with a hint of indifference, he wanted to wait until these people were allocated, so that he could talk to the strong man with the surname Chang.

Xu Yan was a little surprised to meet a cultivator of the Foundation Building Realm in such a small village and town, since he had met him, it was just an opportunity to understand the Tianbei cultivation world.

In order not to make others suspicious, Xu Yan had to wait patiently on the side, although he had a void pill cultivation, he was a newcomer, and he didn't know the truth about Tianbei at all.

"Nine pounds and three taels."

"Eight pounds and nine taels."

While calculating the weight of each car, the face of the strong man surnamed Chang became more and more bad, and when he finished weighing the last car, he let out a long sigh.

"Ninety catties in total, less than ninety-one catties, and we are still ten catties short of alfalfa."

There are still ten catties left, and these four words are like a hammer, smashing into everyone's hearts, and the long street immediately fell silent, and you can hear a needle.

"Brother Chang, let's go again, it's only ten catties, it's not difficult!"

"That's right, it's only ten catties, it's not much, we'll leave now, it should be in time!"

Several strong men surrounded me at this time, and they all looked very anxious when you said a word.

"There are five days left until the end of the month, and it's too late......"

The strong man surnamed Chang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "This time we went deep into the dense forest for hundreds of miles, and only found these, there is no alfalfa grass in that jungle, if you want to find it, you have to go to a new place, not to mention the farther distance, you will also encounter strange monsters, and go in a hurry, maybe no one can come back, and then the old and young women and children in Baili Town can only wait for death." ”

"Brother Chang, then what should we do, there are still ten catties left, if we don't pay enough this month, Changle City will definitely not be able to spare us."

A slightly thin man clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red and said: "Last year, my third brother was killed, I don't want my second brother to be killed, I can't hand over a hundred catties of alfalfa, I have to hand over a hundred heads, Brother Chang, we have no way out!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll figure out how to ......"

The strong man surnamed Chang lowered his head and thought for a while, and then instructed a man in the crowd with bright eyes and a very clever look, and said: "Xiao Qi, you ride a fast horse to Chenlu Village to see how they harvest this time, if there is extra alfalfa, we will buy it with silver, and there are still a few hundred taels of silver left in the town, you can bring them all." ”

As soon as he heard the strong man surnamed Chang say this, the man named Xiao Qi immediately nodded and agreed.

At this time, the choked woman at the door of the inn raised her head suddenly, pulled her son, ran to the strong man surnamed Chang, and stuffed the thirty taels of silver in her hand into the other party's hand.

"We orphans and widows, we don't need so much money, the eldest brother of the Chang family takes it, as long as there are no more dead people in Baili Town, it is nothing for us to eat a few less meals."

The innkeeper's actions immediately resonated with the others, and soon a crowd gathered around, especially the woman who had lost the man and thus received the silver taels, all of whom handed over the money.

Looking at such a scene, Xu Yan's eyebrows jumped slightly.

It seems that his previous guess was wrong, the men in the town did not take the risk to collect spirit grass for their own cultivation, but had other hidden secrets.
