Chapter 175 Stealing Horses

After wandering around the street for a while, Feng Yuerong saw a pharmacy, this pharmacy is a little different from other pharmacy, it looks a little simple, there is not even a decent faΓ§ade in front of the door, some shabby, only the words "Gu worm pharmacy" are written on the door, but there are many people entering this pharmacy, in and out, and now at night, there are also many people.

Feng Yuerong felt a little strange, looked at this not very big shop, and said to herself: "Gu insect medicine shop, how can there be such a medicine shop, can Gu insects also be used as medicinal materials?"

Chu Feng said: "I heard Master say that many people raise Gu worms, in fact, they are to enhance their own strength, and in the process of raising them, it is also more troublesome, and there is a certain degree of danger, but I didn't hear Master say that this Gu worm can still be used in medicine." ”

Feng Yuerong smiled slightly and said, "Chu Feng, let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

After the two walked into the pharmacy, a somewhat strange smell came over, and it was a little disgusting to ask, Feng Yuerong quickly covered her nose and muttered, "What kind of smell is this, it smells bad." ”

After Chu Feng sniffed it, he said, "It seems to be the smell of some carrion air-dried." ”

After the two walked into the pharmacy, they looked at the people coming and going inside, as if they were trading something.

Feng Yuerong stepped forward curiously, and saw that all of them were Gu worms, some were alive Gu worms, some were dead or some had been dried, there were many kinds of these Gu worms, in fact, centipedes were the majority.

Looking at these Gu worms, Feng Yuerong suddenly had a disgusting taste, she had seen others raise Gu worms before, but it was not the same as these.

Feng Yuerong felt that the hairs on her body stood up, and she felt a little uncomfortable looking at these disgusting Gu worms.

After watching it for a while, Feng Yuerong walked around the pharmacy again, basically trading Gu worms, some came to sell Gu worms, some people came here to buy Gu worms, and more, some people bought some juvenile Gu worms, and it seemed that they wanted to take them back.

After Feng Yuerong inquired, she learned that many people here are raising Gu worms, basically every family will be the same, most of the people here live on Gu worms, after raising Gu worms, there will be people outside to collect them, here, raising Gu worms has become an industry.

But Feng Yuerong has also heard from her family that raising Gu worms is not something that everyone can raise, and it takes a lot of energy, although the Gu worms raised by the people here are the lowest level of Gu worms, but they are also a little dangerous.

After staying in the pharmacy for a while, the two of them also saw that not only men, but also some women, the elderly, and even some children would come to trade, among them, women came here to trade Gu worms the most.

After a while, the owner of the pharmacy saw that Feng Yuerong and Chu Feng had been staying here all this time, and there was no trade, so he walked over and said with a smile: "Two, are you here to buy Gu worms, or sell Gu worms?"

Feng Yuerong shook her head and said, "It's the first time we've come here, and when we see that the people here are all raising Gu worms, we're curious, so let's come here to take a look." Shopkeeper, you people here, what is the use of raising so many Gu worms, can they really be used as medicinal herbs?"

The shopkeeper looked at Chu Feng and Feng Yuerong's extraordinary appearance, not like ordinary people, so he said politely: "The two of you don't know, we here, it is also in recent years, we have only started to raise Gu worms, and this is still from Liangzhou." In the past, we were very poor here, and the people couldn't even eat, but then a person from Liangzhou came and told us how to raise Gu worms, and said that we could earn a lot of silver, so our people here began to raise Gu worms. ”

Feng Yuerong nodded, and then asked, "So that's the case, but as far as I know, this Gu worm shouldn't be used as a medicinal herb." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Some Gu worms can't be used as medicinal materials, but some Gu insects can, you see, like these centipedes, they can be used as medicinal materials." ”

Chu Feng knew that centipedes could be used in medicine, but these centipedes looked bigger than ordinary centipedes, and he also had doubts: "Shopkeeper, the centipedes here are all bigger than the ones we saw?"

The shopkeeper said: "This is because we have different methods of raising, so in terms of body shape and medicinal properties, it is also better." ”

It was getting late, but there were still a lot of people who came here to trade Gu worms, Feng Yuerong was not used to such an environment, and then walked out.

I saw so many Gu worms just now, there were all kinds of them, and now that she came out, Feng Yuerong felt a little disgusting when she thought about it, and she didn't even feel in the mood to go shopping, and then she went back to the inn with Chu Feng, and after washing up, she was ready to sleep.

Now they are about to arrive in Yuzhou, and they will be able to return to the Holy Academy in three or four days, so the two of them don't want to stay here longer, and they are ready to leave at dawn tomorrow.

The next day, after the two had breakfast, when they were about to leave, Xiao Er came over with a smile on his face.

Seeing Xiao Er coming, Chu Feng said, "Xiao Er, hurry up and bring our horses, we're leaving." ”

Xiao Er smiled embarrassedly and said, "This, the two inns, I'm really embarrassed, last night, we got into the thief here and stole your horse." ”

"What! The horse was stolen, what the hell is going on?"

She was about to leave now, but was told that the horse had been stolen, which made Feng Yuerong a little angry.

Xiao Er hurriedly apologized: "Two guest officers, I'm really sorry, we, we don't want such a thing to happen, it's all because we didn't close the door yesterday, so your horse was stolen." ”

"Then there are no horses, how can we go?" Feng Yuerong was very angry, and she wanted to slap the table in anger.

"We'll pay for it. ”

Seeing that Feng Yuerong was furious, Xiao Er hurriedly said about the compensation.

Feng Yuerong said coldly: "I don't need your compensation, hurry up and get the horse back for us." ”

Xiao Er was a little embarrassed: "This horse has been headed, I'm afraid that it is, I'm afraid it won't be able to be recovered, otherwise, let's compensate the two guest officers." ”

"No, get the horse back to Miss Ben quickly, and go now. Feng Yuerong was completely angry, if there was no horse, it would take longer to go back.

"But, but, this horse,"

Xiao Er didn't know how to reply, and he was hesitant for a while.

"You don't want to go!"

Fengyue Rong said loudly again, and at this time, the shopkeeper also hurriedly walked over.

"Two guest officers, I am the shopkeeper here, I don't know, why is this girl so angry?"

Seeing the shopkeeper coming, Feng Yuerong said directly to the shopkeeper: "Then you came just in time, our horse was stolen from you, what do you say?"

The shopkeeper smiled very kindly and said, "This girl, don't be angry first, your horse has been stolen from us, it is our responsibility, we are willing to compensate according to the price, and please two guest officers, don't be angry." ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out twenty taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Feng Yuerong.

Looking at the twenty taels of silver, Feng Yuerong felt a little funny: "I said shopkeeper, do you treat us as asking for food, what's the use of asking for this silver, our horses are gone now, how can we go back." ”

The old man smiled, then took out ten taels of silver, and said with a smile: "This girl, I'm really sorry, we don't want to see such a thing happen, in fact, in recent times, our guests here have lost a lot of things, not only you have lost your horse, so please forgive the two guest officers." ”

Chu Feng said: "Since you have been losing things here, why don't you report to the official?"

The shopkeeper said: "We have reported to the official, but the thief who stole the things has not been caught, so we can only compensate the guest for the silver according to the price, so we also asked the two guest officials to accept the silver and buy two horses again." ”

Chu Feng looked at Feng Yuerong and wanted to hear her opinion. Feng Yuerong was angry in her heart, even if she was scolding them now, it was useless, it was better to buy a horse quickly and go back as soon as possible.

Feng Yuerong took the silver and said, "Hmph, this time, I won't pursue it, I advise you, it's best to look at it and don't lose anything again." ”

"Yes, yes, we will definitely take a good look, the two guest officers walked slowly. ”

Feng Yuerong said to Chu Feng, "Then let's buy two more horses." ”

"Hmm. ”

After the two walked out of the inn, they prepared to go to the horse market to buy two horses.

After arriving at the horse market, I found that there were not many horses here, and they were not good, and the two horses that the mayor gave him were not of the same grade at all.

After walking around the horse market, there wasn't even a horse in the picture, and Feng Yuerong was a little helpless: "Boss, don't you have any good horses here?"

The boss smiled and said, "This girl, this is already the best horse we have here, there is no better one." ”

Chu Feng looked at these skinny horses, some of them were still sick, and they couldn't be used as leg strength at all, so he asked, "Boss, are all your horses here like this?"

The boss nodded, "Now, it's all like this." ”

Chu Feng said, "Now, was there anything good before?"

The boss nodded and said: "Before, we had horses here, but they were all good horses, but in recent years, there are no good horses, and these horses are left." ”

"Then what's going on?Are there any better horses in other places?" Chu Feng asked.

The boss shook his head and said: "This son, we have no good horses here, before, the horses I sold were also the best horses we have here, but now those horses are gone, if you go to other places, I'm afraid they are not as good as the horses I have here?"

Feng Yuerong was also curious when she heard it, and said, "Then what is this for?"

The boss said: "Those good horses have been bought, not only horses, but also some other livestock, as long as they are of good quality, they have all been bought." ”

Chu Feng asked, "What did those people do when they bought so many livestock?" ”

"Of course, I bought it to raise Gu worms. The boss said casually.

"Raising Gu worms, do you use live livestock to raise Gu worms?" Feng Yuerong asked in shock.

"Yes, otherwise, I would have only been left with these thin and sick animals. ”
