Chapter 158: G. Guzhen 2
Seeing that the mayor threw out a request for help, Zou Xuan immediately responded: "If there is anything I can help, please don't be polite." Just ask! ”
Seeing Zou Xuan's readily agreed, the mayor of the town seemed very happy. But soon his delicate eyebrows began to wrinkle together, and he only heard the mayor sigh: "We have been short of supplies here recently......"
As soon as he heard that it was related to matter, Zou Xuan chuckled in his heart! In reality, Zou Xuan was scared by Ye Yun, and now he was a little nervous when he mentioned money, although the mayor did not mention any money, but the materials were in short supply, Zou Xuan's first reaction was to link it with money.
"Huh?" Mayor Mare's words were interrupted by Zou Xuan's strange reaction. "Are you alright? I don't think your face is good. ”
"Huh? Ah......h "Ahaha, maybe it's the fatigue of the journey, I'm fine, Mayor Mare, you continue."
Although he said so, Zou Xuan's heart is really up and down now!
The mayor looked at Zou Xuan several times, and every time Zou Xuan would greet him with an awkward smile.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Well, it's okay, Mayor Mare, you go ahead !!"
After receiving Zou Xuan's affirmative reply, the mayor continued to say with a bitter face: "Recently, we have been fighting frequently, and both food and equipment are consumed very quickly, and the first thing to solve now is the problem of eating. ”
"Mayor Mare, how much do you say?" Zou Xuan gritted his teeth and squeezed these words out of his mouth, and his expression was quite painful.
The mayor was surprised that Zou Xuan was such a straightforward person, but it didn't seem right before and after, so he asked tentatively: "What do you think of 20 silver?" ”
Zou Xuan looked at his pocket and continued to grit his teeth in pain: "20 silver?" ”
Mayor Zhen frowned: "What? Is it a little less? So...... How about 30 silver? ”
"Huh?" Zou Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it was the mayor who was talking to him about the remuneration, and now he realized that he was wrong!
Seeing the change in Zou Xuan's expression, the mayor also understood, and then laughed "haha", and Zou Xuan also laughed embarrassedly.
After laughing, back to the point. The mayor said, "Now that the supply can't keep up, I wonder if I can find a way to find something else." ”
"In what way?" Zou Xuan asked curiously.
I saw the mayor of the town smile ghostly, showing his hidden cunning side!
Zou Xuan thought he was dazzled at this moment, but the mayor's smile flashed, and Zou Xuan forgot to explore something because of the next request.
"Hunting!"
"Hunting?"
"Yes." Mayor Mare nodded, smug at his thoughts. "Let's go hunt some wild animals to replenish the army's rations, what do you think of this idea?"
Zou Xuan also nodded. "I guess that's fine, but it takes a lot of animals, right? It seems that the gravel and sand in this vicinity are extremely desolate, will there be so many animals? ”
Faced with Zou Xuan's doubts, the mayor smiled confidently. Then he pulled Zou Xuan to his desk, and saw a map spread out on the desk, which should be a map of the ancient town and the surrounding area.
I saw the mayor nod somewhere with his hand, and said, "There are a large number of wild wolves living here, and I think it shouldn't be a problem to fight a little wolf meat!" ”
"How much?" Zou Xuan asked.
The mayor pursed his lips and said without thinking, "I think fifty wolf meat should be enough to withstand this formation!" ”
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Zou Xuan accepted the task, but the mayor immediately added: "I will send five transporters to help you transport wolf meat, and after it is finished, you can hand it over to them and you can come to me to receive the payment, the reward, just according to what was just said, 30 silver, what do you think?" ”
At the mention of what happened just now, Zou Xuan was embarrassed again.
What else could this be? Zou Xuan could only quickly agree, and then escaped from the mayor's room like the wind!!
Leaving the mayor's room, he didn't have to walk a few steps to see five soldiers walking towards him. These five people should be the transporters that the mayor said!
These transporters were a little different from the previous ones, they were all very short, and the armor on their bodies was also some light leather armor.
One of the transporters walked up to Zou Xuan's side. "Green White Warrior, we are the soldiers responsible for helping you transport wolf meat, and we will also lead the way for you and help you find the wolves!"
"It's hard work!"
——
Mission: Hunt for wolf meat. Objective: Fill five carts transporting wolf meat. Reward: 30 credits, 100 EXP.
——
Walking on the Gobi Desert, there are five artificial carts in front of you driving the road, which is quite like the picture of the rich man pulling the cart and preparing to go to the countryside to collect rent.
Along the way, Zou Xuan had nothing to say, and accosted the transport soldiers on the side: "Have you been fighting lately?" ”
The transport soldier sighed, very helpless: "Yes, I've been busy lately!" ”
"Fight whom?" Zou Xuan asked again, but this time the transport soldier didn't seem to hear it, and didn't answer. Zou Xuan thought that the other party might really not hear, shrugged his shoulders, and asked other questions.
"Why do you see only soldiers and other residents in the city? Children, the elderly, women, and even ......"
Zou Xuan wanted to say that there were no men who participated in the war, but before he finished speaking, the transport soldiers had already rushed to answer. "Legend has it that the ancient town used to be a very beautiful town, but now it is just a fortified town, and the children born here will be sent away from here and sent to live in other towns, where they will learn knowledge and skills. Then when you grow up, you will come back here and become a soldier! ”
The transport soldier said a little sadly, after all, he had to leave his hometown since he was a child, and when he grew up, he had to abandon his old life to fight here, and such a life could not be associated with beauty no matter what.
Zou Xuan nodded, somewhat understanding the feelings of the transport soldiers.
"What about the old man? And what about women? ”
The transporter replied, "The old men will leave, they are responsible for imparting the necessary knowledge to the children of the ancient town, they can be said to be the best teachers!" They are veterans of many battles, they know how to win the war, and they know how to survive! As for the women, they will also return. ”
"But I didn't see it in town."
"Because at this time, they are still busy with armaments, and the women of the ancient town only come out at night to add color here."
Through a simple conversation, Zou Xuan finally figured out the current situation of the ancient town!
At this time, five carts stopped at the same time. I saw the transporter pointing ahead and saying, "Green White Warrior, we have arrived!" ”
