Chapter 298: The Toad
Seeing Jia Xu being taken away by Gao Shun with a bitter face, Yun Ting felt a burst of refreshment, as if all the qi he had suffered in front of Jia Xu in his previous life had been recovered at this time. Although each top strategist has his own personality and characteristics, as well as special biases, the only thing is to sell off. Every monarch in front of them must be hung in curiosity for a while, and only at last can he truly see his intentions. In Yun Ting's words, it is to stand with them, and always feel stupid!
In the Three Kingdoms, many strategists are not as weak as they were later, except for a few people, most of the strategists have a physical foundation. Just like Xu Shu, he was still a ranger back then, and there were many strategists who traveled to study when they were young, if they didn't have a hand, they were walking fat sheep, and their swords were not purely decorative. But when it comes to horseback riding, especially military riding, it is a kind of torture for everyone.
If the inner thigh skin doesn't fall off and regenerate thicker, the entire skin on the inner thigh that has been worn against the saddle will become a blur of flesh and blood. Not to mention that in the middle of the battle, you can be wise, but if you run slowly, no one will care who you are. Therefore, the process of practicing riding skills is a torturous process, especially for those who are new to horseback riding.
Lin Doujiu slowly opened his eyes, looking at the blue sky, slightly stunned. Can he feel himself on the move, as if in a carriage? But the memory of how he got to this carriage was blank, and all his memories were suspended at the moment when he fought with the Xianbei cavalry and finally knelt on the ground with his sword.
Straightening up, Lin Doujiu found that his body was covered with white bandages, and the wounds on his body were tightly wrapped.
His lips were extremely chapped, and it seemed that fire was about to come out of his throat, Lin Doujiu smacked his mouth, reached out to his waist, and touched the wine gourd. picked up the gourd, but he was able to measure the incomparably light gourd with his hands, and shook it slightly, swaying, but he didn't feel the shaking of the wine in the gourd. At this time, Lin Doujiu suddenly thought that he had drunk all the wine in the gourd long before joining that battle.
With a sigh, Lin Doujiu looked around and found that he was in a carriage guarded by soldiers, and in the carriage, there were two other people, but they didn't turn their heads, so they couldn't see him.
Yun Ting heard the movement, turned his head, and just happened to see the young man rescued by the toad eating the phoenix.
"Are you awake?" Yun Ting nodded slightly.
In these years, it is rare for players to be able to go deep into the Xianbei grassland and dare to join the battle against the Xianbei people. Whether he is a virtual player who can be resurrected, or a real player who has substituted for history, this kind of courage is admirable.
Death is simple, and sometimes it's not painful, it's just a moment. However, the way of death on the battlefield is not beautiful, sometimes it is very painful, and the unlucky people may struggle for a long time, with a few more knives on their bodies, not to mention the process of being trampled by the horse's hooves and becoming a pulp on the battlefield with cavalry, which is enough to make most players experience the fear of real death.
"Hey, you're awake!" The toad that ate the phoenix turned around, and his body approached Lin Doujiu, and he was already in front of the latter.
"Wine, I want wine." Lin Doujiu spoke, his voice hoarse and low. As soon as he said it, even he himself was startled, because this was not at all what his usual voice said.
"Wine?" The toad that ate the phoenix scratched its head, and its head was looking at the sky at an angle of forty-five degrees.
"If you want wine, you have to get the money out first!" He said loudly, and a rather lonely and snowy temperament emanated from his body. Once it comes to money, the whole person of the toad who eats the phoenix becomes different, and it is not an exaggeration to use the adjective to describe Lu Bu as invincible.
Pulling his fingers, the first finger was pulled down, and the toad who ate the phoenix continued: "First of all, let's explain that we are called the toad that eats the phoenix, if you want to set up an immortal tablet for me, I can't squeeze our name, so it's free!" Let's save your life-saving grace, the ancients said that the life-saving grace cannot be repaid, we don't want anything, just take some money! You must know how valuable your life is, of course, if you want to say that you are a cheap life, I can't do anything! ”
"The next thing is the medical expenses, the injuries you have suffered are very difficult to treat, but it took a lot of effort to pull you back from the line of life and death! I won't say anything about the effort spent, like a thousand-year-old ginseng, a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, these medicines must be given...... "Let's pull it, the toad that eats the phoenix not only takes the credit of the Dream God Machine as its own, but also adds its own words, adding a lot of things that I have only heard of and have never seen." If you are an uninformed person, whether it is a player or a game native, listening to what he said in it, I am afraid that you will have to carefully reflect on what he said, and then you will be so scared that you want to die a second time.
"There's also the cost of the road or something, anyway, you gave all the money in front, so you can give that little money by the way!" The second finger and the third finger were pulled down one after another, and the toad that ate the phoenix actually had a feeling of unfinished thinking entangled in his heart.
He grinned, summoned the player package, and searched his eyes among his various items before finally finding what he was looking for. As soon as his mind moved, a porcelain bowl had already appeared in the hand of the toad eating the phoenix, and in the bowl was clear water that continued to reverberate on the surface with the bumps of the carriage.
"Come on, come on, this toad is merciful, and you can drink as much water as you want! Don't look at it as free, but the authentic spring water is sweet and refreshing! Let's call it a big ice fountain! ”
"Millennial ginseng? Centennial Ganoderma lucidum? Lin Doujiu's mouth opened wide, he reached out and touched the bandaged places on his body, he really didn't know that his injuries could be treated with such precious things!
Reaching out to take the porcelain bowl, Lin Doujiu drank a bowl of water without hesitation, and his throat was moistened, making him feel much better now. I don't know why, probably because of the relationship between listening to the words of the toad who ate the phoenix, especially the cold that was taken away, Lin Doujiu became a lot more sober, and at this time he went to see the toad eating the phoenix, he was clearly looking at a neurotic!
In the real world, medicinal herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum are extremely rare, and there are not many collections in the empire! That's right, Lin Doujiu confirmed that he was not mistaken, these two types of herbs are used for collection, because they are only produced on the home planet, and the former home planet has become barren due to the relationship between the empire and the federation war, which is one of the reasons why the empire will leave the home planet.
To this day, the home planet is still heavily protected by the Empire, and there is no trace of technological existence on the entire planet except for the necessary buildings. Even if you want to go to the home planet for sightseeing, you have to go through many approvals before you can be allowed to enter. The entire home planet is still in a process of self-repair, slowly using time to heal the damage it has suffered, and all the malignant damage caused by human beings at the beginning, even if it is only a little, will take twice as long to recover.
In the textbook of the Imperial Academy, the highest institution of learning in the Empire, it takes billions of years for the mother star to form, and it only takes a few hundred years for humans to destroy it. In the end, even human survival is a problem, let alone the various rare herbs that grow in a more demanding environment.
So there is no way for ordinary people to get their hands on ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum! Not to mention a thousand years, a hundred years, and even a few years are hard to see! Except for the rulers of the major families, there are also powerful figures in the empire and the royal family, no one can really see them with their own eyes, at most they can only see them in some history textbooks or medical books.
These two are not medicines at all, but collectible plants!
In the game, even Lin Doujiu, who doesn't care about the game, can understand the rarity of the two, at least not the powerful can't get it. Not to mention the player, the player has no way to get that kind of rare herb in the short term except to dig it himself.
In reality, he can't eat ginseng Ganoderma lucidum, if he really tastes it in the game, Lin Doujiu thinks it's still good. But even if he had, he didn't know what it was like at that time, and he was really desperate!
Lin Doujiu took a deep breath, calmed down his ups and downs, and wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with his hands.
"One more bowl." He took the porcelain bowl and said to the toad who was eating the phoenix, since it was free, he was determined to drink it heartily. After this idea came up, it was after the toad who ate the phoenix said a lot of words asking for money.
"Huh?" The toad who ate the phoenix was stunned for a moment, but took out a wine jar from the package, but it contained clear water.
Filling the porcelain bowl, the toad who ate the phoenix looked at Lin Doujiu in a daze, and found that he was bored again, so he hurriedly poured water for him again. In the words of the toad, in order to make money, it is necessary to serve you, me and him!
The toad that ate the phoenix poured water n more times, until the wine jar in his hand became empty, he lifted the wine jar and buckled it down, only to see a few drops of water falling slowly little by little. Fortunately, this water is the clear water he bottled in an unknown drinking place, so it will be free, and he doesn't feel distressed when he eats the phoenix's toad! Of course, what he is more distressed about is that he has become a little second who pours water, and the most regrettable thing is probably that there is no tip.
"Have you had enough?" The toad who ate the phoenix asked, he put the wine jar back into the package, and asked Lin Doujiu with an expectant mood.
"How? If you're hungry, I've got peaches here! Fresh big peaches! Guan Yunchang's peach! A peach appeared in his hand, and the toad eating the phoenix took a pose to facilitate Lin Doujiu to see this peach more intuitively!
Lin Doujiu blinked, touched his round belly, and sighed with satisfaction. He shook his head pleasantly, rejecting the kindness of the toad that ate the phoenix.
"Full. Belch. As if the toad who was afraid of eating the phoenix didn't believe it, Lin Doujiu also burped.
He usually travels in China, and he doesn't care about the gold and silver on his body, he always spends money when he has it, and he can drink as much as he wants if he doesn't have money. Now, it's the same with drinking water, the wine in the Three Kingdoms has less taste for Lin Doujiu, after all, it's all liquid, and it would be nice to be able to make the chest and abdomen feel satisfied.
"Brother, don't miss it! I'm a limited edition, eat one less one, and then Guan Yu won't sell peaches! ”
"So be it! I see that you and I are very fateful, and I also saved your life, so we don't want much, for the sake of the fate between us, the loss of blood is a big promotion! The toad that eats the phoenix does not give up and continues to sell the peaches in his hand.
It's also strange to say that he wrapped a lot of limited goods of the three brothers Liu Guanzhang in his package, but he always couldn't sell them! Now, except for Liu Bei's straw sandals that have no expiration date, Zhang Fei's pork and Guan Yu's peaches are almost at the preservation limit of the player's package, that is, they are about to expire! At this time, the toad who ate the phoenix expressed his grievances, so he gritted his teeth, and as long as someone bought him, he would sell it with a seven-fold discount and a little blood!
Lin Doujiu shook his head, looked at the toad that ate the phoenix without giving up, and said, "Do you think I look like I'm rich?" ”
Lin Doujiu looked bare-hearted, and he suddenly saw the long sword on the back of the toad that ate the phoenix, it was clearly his sword! There was no trace of anger on Lin Doujiu's face, he used the ancient method of raising the sword and using blood to raise the sword, so that people and the sword could be one.
People choose swords, swords choose people, and ancient swords have spirits. In the last second of his life in this world, this sword was a long sword with a sharper edge in the hands of others, and it could not be as wonderful as in his hands.
"Ugh." The toad who ate the phoenix sighed melancholy, and looked sorry for Lin Doujiu.
He continued to ask, "You don't have any money in your package?" ”
"Nope." Lin Doujiu replied. As a person who can't find a way in the real world, he is the same in the game, so he did not hesitate to choose the real option of substitution into history, and there is only one life in the game, which may allow him to find the meaning of life.
"Give me my sword back." Lin Doujiu spoke again, looking straight at the toad eating the phoenix.
"Whew." The toad who ate the phoenix sighed, feeling that life is so melancholy.
He untied the sword on his back and put it in front of Lin Doujiu, his eyes were extremely clear. In the words of a toad, it is enough to use a spear and a knife yourself, what to do with another sword? The reason why he held Lin Doujiu's sword was just to see the joy of hunting.
He looks like a dead man who wants money, but the toad who eats the phoenix adheres to the principle that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. The toad thinks he is not a gentleman, but if he is not a gentleman, he cannot have his own path! This point made the toad feel a little strange, but people are so strange, it is enough for him to feel comfortable, and peace of mind is the most rare.
