Chapter 40: The Wandering Little Girl
The sea breeze is blowing, the beautiful sea scenery is reflected in the eyes, and with the sand gulls "croaking" across the water, spreading their wings and flying, the small island by the distant sea has entered a new day.
Early in the morning, the fog was churning.
The farmers on the island get up early and are busy in the fields with hoes and cattle and horses. Although the earth has begun to enter the age of technology, most places are still not illuminated by technology, and they are still in a very primitive agricultural era, and work basically depends on physical strength.
By a babbling stream, a thin figure squatted by the stream with a schoolbag on her back, carefully washing her small sugar jar with water.
April had been wandering on the island for more than a month, and her neat clothes had become stained and even cracked in some places.
"Grunt~" The sound from her stomach indicated that she was already very hungry, touching her belly, Aprile pursed her lips and looked aggrieved, because she was still young and ignorant and thin, she had no ability to find food, and could only rely on the help of the island's residents.
Holding the small sugar jar in her arms tightly, it was empty, and the last candy had been eaten by her a few days ago.
"Daddy, Mommy, Cypril......" April called helplessly, tears rolling in her eyes, then she opened her bag and carefully put the sugar jar inside, and when she saw the smoke rising in the distance, she flattened her mouth and ran towards the village.
"Knock knock!"
A farmer's house heard a knock at the door, and the old woman opened the door to see a timid little girl standing in front of her.
"Grandma, I'm so hungry, can you give me something to eat." April blushed and wriggled the corners of her clothes.
When the old woman saw that the little girl was in disarray, as if she had been in trouble, she felt pity, and led Aprile into the house, and served her a plate of not very rich meals. The food in the countryside was coarse and didn't taste as good as in the city, but April was so hungry that she devoured it and hammered herself in the chest when she choked.
"What a poor child, how can you be alone, your parents?" The old woman asked, looking at April's pitiful appearance.
"There's a lot of bad people chasing them, and they're ...... It's gone......" April said as she ate, and she couldn't help but cry as she spoke.
"Alas~" The old woman sighed, and from the little girl's words, she heard that her parents might no longer be there, this world is like this, although the United Kingdom has been established for more than a hundred years, there are still many places where there are rebellious forces.
"Grandma, do you have any candy here, I want candy......" April bowed her head, her little face blushing. But when she thought of the sweetness of candy, she seemed to recall the warmth of being with her family, and remembered that after eating candy the other day, she saw her parents in a dream.
The old woman was stunned for a moment, and said, "We are in the countryside, not like the city where candy is sold, but we have honey here, why don't you taste it?" ”
"Thank you." April thanked politely.
The old woman smiled and empathetically brought out a jar of honey from the hut, all wild honey with high nutritional value.
"Come, you have a taste."
"Oops, it's so sweet!" Dipping a drop into her mouth, April's eyes lit up.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"Really?" Aprile was overjoyed, she took out the small sugar jar from her school bag, then carefully poured the honey into the sugar jar, and then closed the lid, "Thank you, Grandma!" She thanked her politely.
"Uh-huh." The old woman looked at the little girl's well-behaved appearance and couldn't help but have the idea of adopting, but April shook her head, she didn't want to stay on this small island.
"Oh, what a cute little one."
Looking at April, who bowed to her and left, the old woman said with emotion.
On the other hand, after Aprile had filled her stomach, she staggered towards the harbor in ignorance, listening to the shouting near the harbor, her eyes fluttering, and she lowered her head into a merchant ship.
……
On the other hand, after snatching all the gold and silver treasures of the gang of robbers, Mu Yang flew all the way to a nearby city, found an exchange in the city, and exchanged part of the gold and silver treasures for common currency.
"Sir, you brought a total of 0.2 tons of gold and 120 pieces of jewelry, which were converted into currency for a total of 110 million earth coins. Whether you want cash or a debit card. After completing the calculations, the owner of the exchange wiped his sweat and quoted the price tremblingly.
Mu Yang smiled lightly, but he didn't expect that the little gold and silver treasure he took out casually could be exchanged for so much currency, which showed how many people that gang of robbers had robbed.
"Exchange 2 million Earth Coins for me, and the rest will be stored in the card."
"Yes, yes, I'll handle it for you right away." The boss replied repeatedly, wiped a handful of sweat and asked the staff to assist in getting 2 million cash from the treasury, he had to serve such a big customer.
Mu Yang smiled and took the savings card and a tin box full of cash, and waved his hand. This earth coin is issued by the United Kingdom, which is used all over the world, and its purchasing power is similar to that of the renminbi in his previous life, and with this money, he does not have to worry about money at all.
Sure enough, the most lucrative industries are written in the criminal law.
After leaving the exchange, Mu Yang thought about it and went to the seafood market, preparing to buy hundreds of tons of sea fish for the cat immortals. After all, he took more than 10,000 fairy beans from the cat immortals, and he always had to express it.
Generously throwing out a stack of banknotes, the fishmongers immediately enthusiastically snagged him a hundred and eighty tons of seafood, which almost swept the fresh goods in the market, and then loaded them in large baskets and helped transport them to a remote alley. There, Muyang opened up the acceleration space and packed all the sea fish into it.
"This time, the cat immortal should be satisfied, hey, I exchanged these sea fish for more than 10,000 fairy beans, which is a lot of money."
This is the benefit of information asymmetry, if it is in the era after the beginning of the plot, Sun Wukong and they all know the importance of fairy beans, even if he uses a lot of money, don't think about getting a fairy bean.
Humming a little tune happily, Muyang went to the market to buy a stove and some fuel, and then took off into the air, and hurried in the direction of Kailinta.
