It's a very prosperous town, of course, relative to this place and the small villages that come over. There were about 100 people in the www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion, blacksmith shops, gold and silver jewelry stores, clothing, shoes and hats, hotels and taverns, and the only thing they didn't have was money in their wallets.

"It's all going to cost here." Regel deliberately asked Mary, "Can your god conjure up money for us to spend?" ”

Mary replied in absolute terms, "It says that God cannot be tempted." ”

Everyone smiled secretly, you must know that some sects have a history of the previous year, and there must be such a set if they can survive, the more believers there are, the more rules and regulations are set, and all loopholes have been filled.

"Then everyone disperses." Gordon also became angry, and said to Maria: "Holy Maiden, if you are really a Holy Maiden, then go and get some food for your followers, don't just pay lip service." ”

"I'll try, but rest assured, God will be with us." Maria is still quite confident, I really don't know where she got such confidence from.

Everyone scattered and began to look for money to eat, Snead and Cheng Qianxun took two rabbit skins and some mouse skins, Rudolph and Gordon each took a silver bowl, and Regel said to go to the blacksmith shop to see if there was any work to do, such as chopping wood. After a long period of training, Regel's wood-cutting skills have become more and more sophisticated, and he can cut a lot of wood in a while, while the blacksmith shop needs a lot of firewood, and there should be a chance. And Mary, love to die where to die, this town is so big, it can't be lost for a while, as long as it doesn't disturb them to do business.

All exchanges require bargaining, and the owner of the clothing store says that rabbit skins can be used for hats, while rat skins can only be used for edges, and that the skins here are not very valuable. On the contrary, he was very interested in the semi-dry wild vegetables that Sneijder brought, and there were basically no such wild vegetables here, so they bought them together, and gave them twenty copper coins, as well as half a bag of flour, and five catties.

Rudolph and Gordon also completed the deal, first asking which one in the town had the money, and then they came to the door to sell it, saying that it was sold to a jewelry store or an antique store, or a gold and silver store, and they liked it and bought it back, but it was not the price. The two silver bowls are still in very good condition, and there are some filament flowers carved on the bowl surface. Under the guise of matching, the richest man in town bought both of them and happily gave them fifteen silver coins, which was a very good price.

Regel exchanged a pile of firewood for five knives, although the knives were made by apprentices, and they looked a little bad, and they couldn't be sold for a few dollars at a reduced price, so they simply gave Regel as money for chopping wood. The knife is not big, so it can be inserted in the waist or in the shoe, and there is also the fact that you can cut wild fruits without a sword.

"Then it's time to go to our holy woman." Sneijder teased.

"Hopefully she's not been sold." Gordon Road.

Regel smiled: "If it is sold, she will help count the money together." ”

Rudolph looked up at the sky: "The clouds are quite low, it looks like it's going to rain." ”

Gordon nodded: "Yes, you need to find a place to spend the night." ”

The town was not large, and soon they found Mary in the tavern, who was standing at a table, preaching with indignation and impassionedness.

"Oh, here it is." Cheng Qianxun looked up at Mary: "Hey, saint, have you earned any money or food?" ”

"What is more important than awakening these ignorant people?" Mary said with a blushing face and a thick neck, and then continued to scold: "You who do not believe in God will sooner or later be abandoned by God, wake up quickly... ”

But few people listened to her, a few were drunk, a few were discussing their own affairs, and two or three were just to pass the time.

"So you know her." When the boss came, he directly put an unwelcome expression on his face: "Pull her away, take a good look, she has smashed a lot of business." ”

"You, still drink, drink, drink, drink death, why don't you listen to God's word?" Maria snarled as she pointed to a guest who was drinking.

"You care about me, you are not my mother-in-law." The guest's answer made the others laugh, and if it weren't for her age, she would have been kicked out.

Cheng Qianxun couldn't help but roll his eyes: "You have been here all this time, and you haven't made any money?" ”

"Of course!" Mary, however, proudly said, "What could be more important than the preaching of the gospel of God?" ”

Knowing this, what else can you do besides sighing? Mary is a madwoman now, and when she gets old, she will still be like this. Will take the mercy and charity of others as an offering to God, is it lucky or unfortunate for such a person to live?

Cheng Qianxun still said patiently: "Of course it is important to spread the gospel, but the stomach is also very important. After three days of starvation, I don't even have the strength to speak, do you want to go on a great expedition? Hurry up and get something to eat. ”

More important than evangelism, of course, is not to fill your stomach, but to go on an expedition. Twenty days may be a short journey for some, but for Maria, who is not in the village, she is almost at the end of the world. She straightened her chest and said loudly and solemnly, "Now which believer in God offers me some food?" ”

Immediately, the tavern was full of laughter, and Cheng Qianxun and they were about to cover their foreheads, so don't expect this crazy girl to get anything to eat and drink. In fact, the main reason is that the villagers are too good to her, and they have always been used to her and give her food.

Snead walked to the counter, this kind of tavern, most of the people standing at the counter are the owner himself: "If you want to borrow a place to live, as long as it is cheap." ”

The boss looked at it: "The cheapest small room is four." "It's about Sneijder's dress that doesn't look like a person with no money, but he says it's cheap, so he says Koma.

"No matter how cheap it is." Snead said again, this is not the time to save face, you need money for all kinds of equipment, you can't just take ten days of dry food and run to the desert.

The boss replied: "One person and one child in the shop... No matter how cheap it is, there is only a livestock shed, give a child, and live as many people as you like. ”

"I don't live in a barn." Mary immediately cried out, "How can I live with an animal?" ”

Come on, the place where I used to live is almost the same as a barn, and there are no livestock. Regel knew that it was useless to scold, so he also coaxed: "There are also saints who live in barns, and there are also those who were born there." ”

"I don't live anyway." Maria pouted, "It stinks, I can't stand the smell." ”

It's really delicate and expensive, I can't bear a little bit of hardship, and I want to walk on my feet for more than 20 days, dream!

It's getting dark, the fire in the blacksmith shop is still burning, and the four teammates are preparing dinner... Regel returned to the blacksmith's shop, and the blacksmith was a good man, and promised to give them the shop downstairs for one night.

"What a taste, such a heavy taste." Maria frowned, the blacksmith smelled of pig iron forged at high temperatures and then put into the water.

If it weren't for the fact that Regel had chopped a lot of wood this afternoon, and that the blacksmith was a good man, who would have let so many strangers sleep in his shop? It's also her turn to pick and choose.

"The animals in the barn smell much stronger than that." Cheng Qianxun was helping to cut the wild fruit, and glanced at him: "If you don't live here, you can shop in the open air outside." ”

Mary said dissatisfiedly: "Anyway, it's a bunk here... ”

"Wow~" It rained violently outside, listening to the sound, the rain was not small. I swallowed the next words, went to lay on the floor on a rainy day, and slept in the muddy water.

Today's wild vegetable gnocchi soup with a little salt, and a little sugar in the wild fruit pie, the taste is really much better, and with money, I can finally buy some salt and sugar.

After eating, Regger went to discuss a bath with the blacksmith, and now they, like ordinary people, sweated a lot, and even if the smell was not so strong, they still felt uncomfortable. The blacksmith said that they bathed and washed in the creek outside.

It was already dark outside, and it was raining, so everyone went to bed and waited until dawn.

If you can close the door and sleep in the house, you don't have to be on duty, the blacksmith's family lives upstairs, and the residents around it seem to be relatively simple, even if they are merchants, they don't have too much cunning and too low prices, and they still sleep soundly this night.

The next day at dawn, Gordon was the first to get up and go chopping wood.

When the blacksmith and his son woke up, stretched their waists and went downstairs to prepare to start work, they saw Gordon chopping wood, but they were embarrassed: "No need, if you go down any longer, it will be enough for a month." ”

Gordon wiped his sweat slightly and stopped: "Okay." ”

The blacksmith went upstairs, and in a few moments his wife came down with some clothes. Said he heard that they were going to take a bath, so he took some change of clothes and lent them some clothes.

They were all coarse cloth robes, some of which were patched, and were used as pajamas and overalls, but they were cleanly washed. It can be regarded as helping them, after all, resources are scarce, and even old clothes can be sold for money. Even if it's a rag, you can exchange it for a few pieces of sugar.

There were already people in the creek, some washing clothes, some bathing. The bathers were all men, who only had to use a cloth around their waists, while the women had put up four planks in the water as a wall in which they could wash; You can also take off your clothes inside, wrap your body in a cloth or change into other clothes, and go to a deep place to bubble or swim after coming out. The underside of the plank is a bit of a gap, and the water reaches the calf.

"That's it?" Mary's words came again: "How can this be washed, in case the plank falls off and a man breaks in... ”

"You don't wash it, I wash it, I feel like I stink." While Maria didn't continue to "jump", she hurried away. Love to wash or not, anyway, no matter how stinky people are, they can't stink rotting corpses.

In fact, it is quite thoughtful inside, and there are nails to hang clothes. When she had done a rough wash in the "ladies' bathroom", changed into clean clothes, and began to wash her dirty clothes in the water, Mary came in.

Seeing Maria's squirming appearance, before she could speak, she went out with her dirty clothes in her hands.

Her teammates were also washed, and she beckoned, "I'll wash your clothes." ”

"No, it's already washed." The teammates washed off their own clothes in the water.

The blacksmith's wife was still very thoughtful, and gave them a long rope so that they could dry their clothes on the trees by the river.

Reggle and Gordon hung on the rope, while Sneijder and Rudolph churned their clothes dry. The cloak was long and wide, wrapping around the body at night, like a blanket, but when washed, it was as heavy as a sheet.

She helped deliver the clothes, everyone was working, and Mary came out with the washing.

"This is mine!" Mary handed over the wet clothes.

Legel was suddenly surprised: "You actually washed the clothes, it's rare, I thought that the noble lady Qianjin was going to ask us to do it for you again." ”

Mary raised her head slightly: "Am I really that bad?" Don't forget, I've been living alone for over six years. ”

finally saw a little hope, this Miss Jiao may still be saved.

Rudolph said coldly: "It's probably because the clothes accidentally fell into the water and had to be washed, right?" I just saw a garment fall into the water, and it took you half a day to start picking it up, and it took a while to start washing it. "If you were going to put your clothes in the first place, you should put them in the water and start washing them immediately.

Mary blushed and said nothing. She can't lie as a sect, and since that's the case, then don't say it.

All the clothes are hung with ropes, and the sun is okay today, it should be two or three hours later, and the clothes will be dry before noon.

"Gordon come with me, we still need some necessary supplies, and the rest of us stay here to look at the clothes." Rudolph needs to go buy something.

"I'll go with Legger too, and it's okay to leave you two to look after your clothes, right?" After Sneijder received an affirmative answer, the four of them left together.

The clothes must be watched, although the folk customs here are still okay, but in case of a thief, who can say for sure. These are the only clothes, and if they are stolen, they will be gone, and they will have to spend money to buy them.

"The ground is all wet, how can I meditate." Maria frowned.

"Then sit and meditate, and if you have a god in your heart, you can sit or stand." Cheng Qian found a relatively clean big stone and sat down, this stone should also be a place where the villagers often sit, and the top of the stone was polished.

Maria's eyes widened: "That's so well said that it could be written in a book." ”

Too lazy to talk to this crazy girl about anything, she just sat and looked at the wet clothes on the tree that swayed slightly in the wind. After muttering a few words, seeing that she was not listening, Mary found a stone and sat down, closed her eyes and turned her face to the sky, and went to communicate with God again, except that she was not cross-legged.

After about two hours, only Sneijder returned, and he went to touch his clothes: "Well, it's almost dry, go back quickly, and if possible, leave immediately." ”

"Can you go?" Mary stood up excitedly and ran away without even her clothes.

She looked at Snead helplessly, and Sneijder also curled his mouth at her, and the two of them collected their clothes together.

After collecting the clothes, he carried him back to the blacksmith's shop, and saw a donkey in the distance. (To be continued.) )
