Volume 1 Awakening from a Dream Chapter 26 Wanhai City
Wanhai City. The first impression of this city is that it is noisy, with only six stone pillars at the gate, and not even a city wall.
At a glance, there are balconies everywhere on the high-rise buildings of the four cities, which is very different from the form of the buildings I have seen before, because the roof of this building is semicircular.
Looking at other buildings, there are various forms of roofs such as single slope, double slope, quadruple slope and rest hill. Looking at the window, it was a thin, transparent cube inlay.
He'd seen it in several other states, but there were very few buildings of this type. Wanhai City is different, basically, all buildings are like this.
At this time, Qingli and his party got out of the carriage and walked towards the stone sign on the side.
There is a lot of paper on the billboard, and each piece of paper is densely printed with letters. From this, Qingli saw a very important news, taking a boat to hand over two pieces of original crystals, and one hundred gold coins can be exchanged for two pieces of lower grade original crystals.
The original crystal is so expensive, this must not be bankrupt, and they don't know that Qingli is so expensive, or rather, they don't know that they have to hand over the original crystal by boat.
You look at me, I look at you, staring at each other, and finally sighing weakly, which makes them miserable. Originally, there were more than 300 gold coins left in the currency, but this was not enough for four people, not to mention Qingli's hands, there were only 100 copper coins left.
Qingzhi asked, "What should we do, we don't have enough gold coins to exchange." ”
In this regard, Qingli felt that what could be done, a hundred gold coins, this currency is not a small amount, now I can only wait, wait until the Mu family's pursuers arrive, and use some means to seize their Qiankun bags, otherwise, there will not be enough currency.
Speaking of the Mu family's pursuers, now two kilometers away, a group of Mu family people are lying on the ground, like tired dogs, out of breath, this is obviously even if they are killed, they can't run.
The leading Great Elder Mu Bei stomped his feet on the spot with righteousness. He hated the tree cutter who blocked the way, although he didn't know who it was, Mu Bei always felt that he definitely had something to do with Mu Ziyun.
Zilan glanced at the person behind her with disdain, the speed was still the same as before, not slowing down or speeding up, but the person was relaxed and did not feel tired.
Ten minutes later.
Stopping Xiaoyunbu, the corners of Zilan's mouth were slightly hooked, and a pair of beautiful eyes were bent with a smile, and she saw Qingli.
Now, Qingli and the others are still worried about the billboard, first, it is currency, second, it is still currency, and third, this Mu family's pursuers will not be tired to death.
Zilan slowly walked towards this side step by step, and in order to surprise her, she could barely hear the sound of walking.
When he walked behind him, even Mu Ziyun didn't notice it, and the only thing he sensed was the golden rookie worm, but he didn't know why it just didn't make a sound.
I saw Zilan stretch out her hand to Qingli and slap it, and Qingli, who was still worried, was shocked, thinking that it was someone from the Mu family who was chasing her, and took a step to the right, and the Xiaoyun fist in her hand quickly used it to hit the person who had just slapped him.
But as soon as the fist wind hit the middle of the road, he stopped and stared straight at Zilan with a shocked face. Qingli didn't expect that Zilan would also come to Wanhai City today.
Zilan smiled, reached out and pressed her fist against her, and said, "Li'er, I haven't seen you for a few years, but my strength has grown." Well, look at the breath, it's all awakened. ”
Mu Ziyun was a little wary of Zilan, while Qinghuang and Qingzhi were standing by Qingli's side, just in case. However, in Zilan's eyes, it was a petty fight.
Qingli's eyes were full of joy and surprise at the moment, these purple orchids were in her eyes, but the next sentence made her almost angry, only to hear Qingli say: "Great, grandma has come to send gold coins, we have currency to buy original crystals." ”
Zilan frowned, stretched out her hand and knocked lightly on Qingli's head, and said, "Okay, you have no conscience, I'm glad that I'm here to send gold coins!"
Qingli was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "No, I feel right, I'm also very happy that grandma can come." Moreover, grandma, you promised me before that you would take me to the Tianyuan Continent to find a master. After speaking, he thought of something again, and then said: "By the way, grandma, have you met a group of people from the Mu family on the road?" ”
When Zilan heard this, she thought about it for a while, and then said: "What Li'er said about the Mu family, grandma doesn't know. However, not far from Wanhai City, there are more than a dozen tired dog-like people. ”
On the side, Mu Ziyun hurriedly asked, "I don't know, is there an old man who looks like he is in his sixties and is dressed in a green robe." ”
Zilan nodded and said, "There is such one, what, he is the person of the Mu family that Li'er said." ”
Qingli and the others nodded at the same time, but they never thought that this time they would use a tree to block the Mu family's pursuers would have such a good effect, it seems that it was right to use a tree as an obstacle before.
Looking at the expressions of Qingli and the others, Zilan asked: "The tree trunks that block the road one by one, can't it be that you did it!"
Qingli nodded very comfortably, maybe this grandma ran over. Think about it, such a long road, how tiring it is!
The corners of Zilan's mouth twitched, this kid is too cunning.
Protocrystal Purchase Pavilion. This is the place where people who want to take a boat to the Tian Yuan Continent must pass through, and now in this pavilion, there are more than a dozen men and women standing scattered.
Zilan led Qingli and the others into the hall, and walked towards a long row of counters. Behind the counter stood a woman in her twenties, dressed in a brown dress, with a plain appearance and fluent speech.
Qingli said: "Do you still have to queue up?"
Zilan nodded and said, "Well, Li'er, you go and sit over there for a while, and grandma will go and change the original crystal." ”
Hearing this, Qingli nodded, and walked to the hall with Mu Ziyun and the others, on the left, there were dozens of tables, chairs, and stools, and some people were sitting on some seats.
After glancing, Qingli sat closer to the door of the hall. On the way here, Mu Ziyun introduced each other to Zilan, and three hundred gold coins were also handed over to Zilan.
Qing Zhi and Qing Huang were sitting in a row, staring around curiously, listening to their remarks, while Mu Ziyun and Qing Li were sitting in a row, getting closer to them.
A man in gray said, "Hey, I don't have enough money, I'm going to go home this time." ”
Another gray short-hanging big man sighed and said: "I'm not enough, who knows that I need to take a boat across the sea, and I still need the original crystal, I still wanted to go to the Tianyuan Continent to explore the rivers and lakes, but now it's in the soup." ”
At this time, a young man about twenty years old, dressed in green clothes, was striding towards a few people, he smiled and said, "No money, you can come to me, I can take you to the Tian Yuan Continent." But you've got to sign this contract, how's that?"
The big man frowned, and he said, "Boy, this is not a place for you liars to show off, get out of here." ”
The young man was not angry, but he still had a smile on his face, depending on what the big man said to him.
Qingli glanced at it with some interest, and he felt that this young man was greasy, and it was absolutely true to lend them money, but this contract was a little incomprehensible.
Contracts are not something that can be signed at will, the so-called wrong step. A contract is like a deed of sale, one contract becomes someone else's servant, and another contract becomes a slave, and this is all a contract at work.
The young man turned to look at the other man, and then said, "I don't know if this person is willing to sign this contract, I can take you to the Tian Yuan Continent you want to go to." ”
The man glanced at the contract in his hand, but shook his head in the same way. When the young man saw that he had been rejected one after another, he didn't care, turned around and left here.
When the young man actually left, there was a discussion: "Is what he said true or false?" ”
Of course, many people are very cooperative and say: "This really can't be fake, fake can't be true."
Zilan's side has already started trading, because there is always a lot to change, the staff took two wooden barrels, but the result is still not enough, after taking another wooden barrel, this is the gold and silver coins given by Zilan are all loaded.
The lower grade original crystal was also exchanged for a total of more than 20 yuan, and this time the boat was settled.
Zilan greeted Qingli and the others, and the group walked towards the dock of Wanhai City. The pier is not far from here, it can be reached in more than 20 minutes, and now they are not in a hurry, so naturally they will not take any carriages.
Along the way, you can eat most of the food in this city of ten thousand seas. For example, the seafood, which they have never eaten, and the large round balls planted on the trees with plume-like lobed leaves, which are called coconut fruits, contain delicious juice.
Qingli felt that whether it was seafood or coconut fruit, he couldn't eat enough and drink enough.
As she walked, the smell of barbecued meat wafted over, and Qingli looked forward to see that there was a stall with a strange stove set up on it, on which golden meat was roasted.
After walking in, Qingli asked, "Boss, what kind of meat are you roasting? Qingzhi, who followed Qingli, was also a foodie, and he didn't eat less along the way.
The boss who was cooking barbecue was a middle-aged man, and when he saw Qingli asking him, he said: "Haha, I haven't seen it, this is a squid in the sea, plus my unique ingredients, it must be fragrant, do you want to have a skewer." ”
Qingli nodded and said, "Well, bring me five strings!"
The boss smiled and said, "Okay, wait a minute, I have other guests here." ”
Next to Qingli, there is a strange girl standing, and the grilled squid made by the boss is hers.
Qingzhi said at this time: "Brother Li, you buy it first, I'll go see what my father and mother are buying first." ”
Qingli nodded and said, "You go! By the way, help me get some currency, my currency is not enough." ”
Qingzhi said "um" and said, "Got it." ”
After a while, the girl's grilled squid was ready, and the boss took the grilled squid and handed it to the girl, and said with a smile: "A total of five copper coins." ”
The girl nodded, and after paying the bill, she left.
The boss then came down and began to grab the fresh squid from the barrel again, and threaded the squid in his hand with a long, thin wooden skewer.
After several times, the five skewers of squid were skewered and began to be placed on the stove shelf, slowly roasted with fiery red charcoal.
Qingli watched, and at the same time remembered the boss's method, and he was going to try to bake some when he had time in the future.
The time of putting the material and the time of the squid reversing are all carefully watched by Qingli.
After a while, five portions of grilled squid were ready, and after paying the currency, Qingli said goodbye to the boss. walked towards Mu Ziyun's location and walked over.
At this time, Qing Zhigang took the currency to Qingli's side, and when he saw that Qingli had come, he smiled and handed the bag containing the currency in his hand to Qingli.
The grilled squid tasted very good, Qingli ate it herself, and at the same time gave it to Mu Ziyun and them.
Qingzhi said: "This is also too delicious, Brother Li, let's go buy more and put it in the Qiankun bag, so that we can eat it at any time if we want." ”
Mu Ziyun said: "This taste is very good, if you can learn it, it is also a good craft." ”
Qinghuang nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense. ”
Qingli listened, smiled on her face, and said, "Just now, I observed the boss's method of grilling squid, and now, I have it all in my mind, and when I have time, I will give it a try." ”
We're chatting here. After a while, Zilan came over, greeted Qingli and them, and asked Qingli and the others not to hang out and prepare to go.
Following Zilan all the way, through this food street, after a journey of twists and turns, Qingli and they finally arrived at the dock of Wanhai City.
A gust of sea breeze slowly blows in front of you, and there seems to be a hint of saltiness in this wind, which is the taste of the ocean!
