Chapter 104: Stealing Food
At this time, they have left the original village of Youmajiaji, is a simple and peaceful town, today is the day of the town once every five days, early in the morning there are many shop guys in front of the open space to sweep clean, and many nearby villagers have already picked up their own goods here to seize the advantageous position, it is estimated that it will not be long before this place will become lively again.
After a while, two people walked side by side from one end of the town, and the two of them looked no different from the villagers here, except that one of them was wearing a strange scarf and hat on his head, so that people could not see what he looked like at all, and it was a little strange.
As soon as the two of them entered the town, they looked around, as if they were curious about all this, these two people were of course Gu Xiaowu and Kou Yuhuan after some disguise. Their clothes were imitated by Kou Yuhuan in the style of the people in the village at that time, but Kou Yuhuan's red hair and hideous scar on the left side of his face were too eye-catching, as a girl, even if she cultivated to such a realm, she didn't want to show her current appearance to others. Fortunately, people didn't pay much attention to them, although the person who dressed up like Kou Yuhuan was strange, it was not unseen, maybe he had some kind of disease, and he didn't dare to see people.
It's been three days, and along the way, they are cautious, secretly observing the words and deeds of people in this area, hoping to integrate into it as soon as possible. This is also the reason why the two have not yet found a way to communicate with people, otherwise they would have been able to communicate generously in front of people.
This time, the two decided to enter this town, also because this town was the first larger village they had encountered, and it was estimated that there should be information that could be collected in it.
The two of them walked down the street with the sparse people, and found that the customs here were similar to the places where they grew up, and except for the language barrier, the two could almost smoothly integrate into it.
Along the way, the two also found many different places, where people used round objects to trade, and some people used some unknown things to trade. It's just an ordinary town market, and there are all kinds of things, which are much richer and more lively than their hometowns, and of course, food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all things needed for rural home life.
When the two of them walked to the main street of the town, Gu Xiaowu was attracted by the various foods on both sides and couldn't move, but he had to resist the urge to go up and buy food.
Kou Yuhuan couldn't help but glared at Gu Xiaowu, but he walked into a store where there were not many people, because he used his divine sense to find that all the things in this store were engraved with words, it should be a bookstore or something like this.
Sure enough, when the two walked in, they found that this is a place to record written information, although the record of text is not a bamboo slip jade plate, but a soft and light material, which is not the same as brocade cloth.
What really made Kou Yuhuan excited was that she actually knew the words on it, these words were also a kind of semi-ancient script, and it was also the kind that Blue Bean used to like to use to show off, although she didn't know their pronunciation yet, but she could finally understand some information. Kou Yuhuan immediately picked out more than a dozen thick books of this kind of text, threw down a big pearl and left in the surprised eyes of the boss.
It didn't take long for the two of them to leave the town, but after Kou Yuhuan put away these classics, he told Gu Xiaowu to wait for a while, and then turned around and left mysteriously. Gu Xiaowu waited strangely for a while, and when Kou Yuhuan came out again, there was an extra string of red snacks in his hand, which he ate deliciously, and handed it to Gu Xiaowu casually.
Gu Xiaowu was even more shocked, but he was not polite, and took a bite like Kou Yuhuan, "It's so sweet, this is a snack over there, how did you buy it?"
"Don't eat it for me, this is stolen by this heroine, I hide my body and secretly take it and run, right?" Kou Yuhuan said while eating.
"Ah, why didn't I think of it, it's a pity that I haven't learned the art of invisibility yet, why don't you steal some serious food and come back?" Gu Xiaowu was not disgusted by Kou Yuhuan's stealing, but complained that she didn't steal more.
"Who said I didn't bring food back, look at your gluttony, it's not too late for us to find a hidden place to eat. Kou Yuhuan shook the ring on his hand and took the lead towards the dense forest in the distance.
The two of them did not stray far from the road, and after choosing a flat place, they immediately sat down and began to feast. Although I don't know the names of these local foods, they are generally delicious, and Kou Yuhuan has not stolen less, and he always feels that half of his goods have been moved into his pocket. The two hadn't eaten seriously for a long time, and this time they finally made up for their stomachs. Kou Yuhuan didn't eat much, most of them were eaten by Gu Xiaowu, and after she was full, she quickly picked up the classics she had just bought and read them.
When Kou Yuhuan finished reading all the clicks, he silently summarized the useful information. Most of these books are general tutorials or wilderness stories, and only one deals with some local geography.
This place should be located in the eastern part of the Xihuang Plain, and is under the management of a large local city called Xihuangcheng, and there are many urban areas like Xihuangcheng, but the nearest one is six hundred miles away. At the same time, these cities are protected by an existence called Tianyinyuan, and the local people respect this Tianyinyuan very much, and in the books, those who can call the wind and rain are called immortals, and those who can learn immortal arts are called monks, and they are proud to be recognized by the immortals.
Kou Yuhuan told Gu Xiaowu the information he had gotten, and Gu Xiaowu asked again and again while gnawing on an unknown domestic animal bone: "There are so many words, why is there only this bit of useful information." ”
"What can a small village and town have, these are just right for you, for an idiot like you. Kou Yuhuan smashed a classic book directly at Gu Xiaowu.
"Don't do it, I didn't say your reason, it seems that we should go to a bigger place to see, there will be more useful information there, we have also learned a few simple dialects these days, we are secretly learning some along the way, we should be able to go to the city to see." Gu Xiaowu took the flying classics and looked through them, but unfortunately he didn't know the words on it, it seemed that he should learn it as Kou Yuhuan said.
In this way, the two followed the direction mentioned in the book and walked all the way to Xihuangcheng, of course, along the way, the two not only consumed the food that Kou Yuhuan stole from, but also stole two more times in the small market they passed by.
