Chapter 4, the trap is over
Passing through the city gate on the east side is a vacant land with a radius of hundreds of acres, and every first and fifteenth day of the new year, a large number of people will gather here to sell or exchange their needs. Since the items sold here are exempt from all kinds of holding taxes as long as they pay a low booth fee, the items sold here will be much cheaper than the items listed on the shelves of large shopping malls, but there is no guarantee that what you are buying will be real or fake.
Although today is not the day to catch the market, in the corner where the warriors are accustomed to trading, in addition to three or four guards patrolling to maintain order, there are still some people setting up stalls and selling some items.
Lin Yuan walked through the aisle in the middle of the stalls, walking towards the northeast corner of the city, and at first glanced at the objects on the stalls and the stall owners who sold them, and couldn't help but smile slightly, a group of fish-eyed vendors, selling all kinds of counterfeit and shoddy items.
A man dressed in a warrior's outfit full of alcohol shouted: "Come and take a look, the fur of the red-eyed golden sable that was just hunted yesterday is sold cheaply, and it is exchanged for money just to give my brother medicine to heal his wounds." If my brother hadn't stopped it for me yesterday, I would have been the one lying in bed waiting to heal. The mall sells three hundred and eighty taels, and I only sell two hundred and eighty taels here. ”
Seeing Lin Yuan driving the carriage coming, the warrior came over and said to Lin Yuan: "Little brother, look at this is the best red-eyed golden mink fur, brother, if I am not in a hurry to use the money, I will not take it out and sell it today, the mall sells four hundred taels of silver, and today I will sell it to you at a low price of three hundred taels?"
The red-eyed golden sable itself belongs to the spirit animal, when the ice and snow thaw in the Hengduan Mountains last year, all things in the Hengduan Mountains flow into Lingyang Lake along the river, and the lake is fortunate to salvage a red-eyed golden mink, which is dissected by Lin Yuan himself, its fur color is golden and luxurious, the needle hair is dense and delicate, and the feel is light and soft.
Lin Yuan originally planned to use that fur to make a small jacket, the soft hair layer will not irritate the skin even if it is worn close to the body for a long time, and the thick and elastic skin layer can not only enhance the effect of heat preservation, but also serve as a protective equipment.
However, after Uncle Hua found the red-eyed mink, he forcibly bought it directly at the price of one tael of silver, saying that it would be of great use in the future.
At that time, Lin Yuan didn't think much about it when he heard that it was useful, but now that the red-eyed mink has appeared again, Lin Yuan recalls the past, and combined with Uncle Hua's recent strange performances, he can't help but think of whether Uncle Hua made that red-eyed mink into a warm jacket and gave it to his little lover, and his heart rose with regret.
Listening to the warrior selling the fur of the red-eyed golden mink, Lin Yuan had the heart to buy another one to make his own small jacket. Then he took the fur in the warrior's hand and said, "I just heard you sell two hundred and eighty taels, and as soon as I turned my head, I asked if I wanted three hundred taels." It's a bit unkind for you to do business like this. ”
When the martial artist saw Lin Yuan get out of the carriage and take the fur, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Isn't there no way, brother is lying on the bed waiting for money to buy medicine to save his life, who doesn't want to sell a few more money for better medicine." Little brother, if you really want it, then I will sell it to you for two hundred and eighty taels!"
Lin Yuan was interested in the fur, and there was a certain reason for listening to the introduction of the martial artist, so he carefully checked the quality of the fur. The fur layer is thick and soft, and the leather feels elastic, which is not much different from the red-eyed golden sable dissected last year, and he changed his words: "Uncle, I heard that you said that this golden mink was just hunted by you yesterday, can I have a discussion with you." I asked for the mink for three hundred taels, but how about you give me the golden mink's eyes as a gift?"
When the warrior heard this, he felt that there was a joke, and changed his words: "Little brother, I am not satisfied with you that the head of this red-eyed golden sable was just hunted yesterday, so he cut off his head and removed the flesh, and only brought a piece of fur down from the Hengduan Mountains. Yesterday, I don't know whether it should be said to be good luck or bad luck, in the outermost part of the Hengduan Mountain Range, I can only encounter ordinary fierce beasts, and I actually encountered a spirit beast like the red-eyed golden mink. My brother was not very vigilant because he was hunting on the periphery, and he was injured by a light from the red-eyed golden mink, and then the three of us in the primordial realm joined forces and introduced it into a pre-set trap before killing it, but poor my brother is still lying on the hospital bed!"
After listening to the introduction of the martial artist, Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment and felt a little strange at this time. The martial artists of the First Yuan Mirror are not as bad as the martial artists of the Body Refining Realm, at least in Chiyang City. There are three adventure teams at once, and they can be regarded as the number one adventure team in Chiyang City. Such an adventurous team must have some of its own prey sales channels, and there is no need to continue to sell them in the square. On the other hand, spirit beasts are different from fierce beasts, if the strength of the fierce beasts corresponds to the human beings in the realm of refining the body, the spirit beasts are like the existence of fierce beasts that have cultivated their vitality. Low-level spirit beasts can't be said to be treasures all over their bodies, but there are very few people who will only take the most precious part and throw away the others because they feel troublesome. And listening to his introduction to the operation on the periphery of the Hengduan Mountain Range, they went to three martial artists in the Chuyuan Realm, it stands to reason that the red-eyed golden sable is no more than thirty catties on its body, plus one wounded, there is no need to throw away the mink head and the golden mink body, because the flesh of the spirit beast also has a certain nourishing effect for the martial artist.
Lin Yuan began to grope for the fur again, the pores on the cortex were slightly light yellow, and the golden yellow of the fur and cortex was slightly rough; the background color of the cortex was exposed by a gentle scraping of the knife edge of the leather surface with a fingernail; the two stinky glands near the chrysanthemum were not removed; there was still a little yellow powder on the back, and with a little saliva, Lin Yuan was shocked: Good guy, it turned out to be a large Wong Tai Sin fur dyed with sulfur!
I had a plan to get out, so I smiled and said: "Uncle, we are not afraid of the cold in winter, and the fur is at most a piece of cold-proof and warm clothing, it really doesn't matter if I want it or not." It's just that my grandfather's eyes are getting worse and worse as he gets older. I wanted to buy the eyes of the red-eyed golden mink and make a pot of better decoction for him to make up for it, I don't know if it will have an effect, but at least it is also our filial piety as juniors. You see that the eyes of your red-eyed sable are thrown away now, and it is useless for me to buy them. I'll give you back this fur. ”
Lin Yuan talked nonsense for a reason, and he was not afraid that the martial artist would find out that he was lying, because of the eyes of the red-eyed golden mink, he had only seen the curative effect on a special miscellaneous book collected by Uncle Hua. It is said that the red-eyed golden mink has white eyeballs similar to other minks, but because this kind of mink is very easy to estrus, if the fire is not extinguished in time, the eyes will be red. After Uncle Hua's analysis, the redness of the eyeballs is due to the accumulation of a large number of sex hormones inside, and this accumulation process is irreversible, so the eyes of the red-eyed sable have become the best activator for a variety of aphrodisiac configurations. Last year, Uncle Hua used the eyes of the red-eyed golden sable as a guide to prepare a unique medicine and sold it to patients who did not raise it at a very high price. As for the curative effect, Uncle Hua described it like this: "Since the guest took that pack of medicine, their family has changed three beds a month. ”
As he spoke, Lin Yuan handed the fur to the warrior and headed towards his carriage.
Seeing that Lin Yuan was leaving, the warrior pulled hard, and the fur cracked in response, and roared: "Little brother, you are too unkind, how do you let me sell the fur of my red-eyed golden sable like this." ”
As soon as the words fell, two strong men came around. Although it was early spring, the strong men were dressed quite coolly, and with red complexions, they could drink a lot of wine at a glance, warm their bodies and show off their muscles, and wanted to force Lin Yuan to comply, looking at Lin Yuan coldly, and said: "My brother killed the red-eyed golden sable after he was injured, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it, what do you have to tear it off, you don't want us to sell it to other people, now the fur is torn and sold for a lot of money, and it can't be sold at a good price, and there is not enough silver to treat our injured brother." We have no grievances with you, you are so ruthless!"
The three strong men put on a posture of not wanting to leave without giving an explanation.
Lin Yuan turned his head and found that the guards patrolling the square looked back at him and walked into the distance, and immediately understood that it should not be the first time that these three guys have done this kind of forced buying and selling work here, and it is likely that they have a certain stake in the guards. After all, this kind of confused case in which both parties have their own words is likely to be sentenced by the intermediary to a decision of 50 boards each, and the position of the guards cannot be determined, so it is not impossible to directly make him pay 150 taels of compensation for the time being.
Judging from the breath, the martial artist who sold fur before had a stable breath, and it could be seen at a glance that it was a primordial realm martial artist who had cultivated Yuan power, and the super body he had cultivated with his unique exercises might be comparable to him; The muscular strong man's aura was chaotic, and he didn't look like a Yuan Force cultivator, if he could put the two of them down in minutes on weekdays, but with a Primal Yuan Realm martial artist who was comparable to his own strength, he wanted to knock them all down before the guards reacted and drove into the carriage, this possibility did not exist.
