The caravan finally arrived at Hanglou Town, unloaded the goods, finished eating, and vomited the trough, and finally everyone who should rest went back to rest.

I don't know if this guy Bird Meat has been talking to me very well recently, and he actually arranged for me to sleep in the same room with him. However, his face became quicker, he fell asleep faster, and immediately began to snore all the time. Although I felt very tired at this time, I still couldn't sleep, so I wanted to go out to breathe.

I took the unpunctual watch out of my backpack and went out to find the innkeeper and asked for the exact time, trying to rematch the watch.

The boss, who was burying his head in the accounts, said: "I don't wear a watch here, there is a big clock outside, you go and watch it, right?" ”

When I heard this, I walked out of the inn and went to the corridor of the hanging tower to look for it. Sure enough, in the center of Hanglou Town, a large clock was also installed on the roof of the cave, which was similar to the style of Zuoqiu City, but the clock face was much smaller.

When I got it right, I noticed that the watch was actually six hours slower!

Twelve days is six hours slower, which shows that there are too many sources of interference on the road, and the error is at least half an hour or more per day. It seems that in the future, this watch may be okay to take out and check the date occasionally during the trip, but it is completely meaningless to look at the time.

After adjusting the watch, I leaned on the edge of the guardrail to watch the view. Because the hanging tower has two opposite sides, it is also divided into the left building and the right building, which is determined by the direction we face upstream when we enter the town. The inn we are currently staying at is on the eighteenth floor of the left building, about the middle of the building.

The scenery of the hanging tower town is actually really good, very dreamy fairy tale style. Everywhere I looked, there were hanging towers made of rattan and wooden planks. The river below is sparkling, and the ghost fires in the building are mixed with some red flames, so it should be that the owners of each shop have lit candles or oil lamps to illuminate them, and are also taking inventory, right?

Although the town also has a morning and evening schedule, there is no curfew, and there are still many people and ghosts walking around upstairs and downstairs, and they do not interfere with each other. Obviously, there are not many ghosts here, not as chaotic as Zuoqiu City, and the security is very good.

The upper reaches of the river seem to be a little phosphorescent from a distance, and I don't know what it is, but it must be a beautiful place. Maybe tomorrow if you have time, you can consider going over there.

After wandering around for a while, I walked back to the inn, where the boss's account seemed to have been settled and he was collecting the book. I casually asked, "Boss, where can I buy better ginseng in the town?" ”

"Ginseng? There is a pharmacy on the right floor diagonally opposite! The boss pointed to the opposite side.

"Diagonally opposite? How many floors? ”

"Twenty-eight floors. Upstream, there used to be a row of herb shops. ”

I walked to the door again and looked in the same direction that the boss said, "Yikes! It's so high, it's quite far, how can it be the most convenient to get there? ”

The innkeeper was quite enthusiastic, and also walked to the door to show me: "You can go both routes." One is to go down to the ground first, then cross the bridge, and go up from the third elevator. Or you can walk from the top, first up to the top floor, and then walk across the suspension bridge at the top of the cave to the opposite side. ”

"Which route do you recommend to take?"

"Well, I personally recommend that you take the upper one, the distance is closer."

"Okay, thanks!" I thanked him, but then asked, "By the way, what's the upper reaches of the river?" ”

"Oh, it's an underground lake, there are a lot of fish in it, and the nearest Yin vein is also upstream."

"Fish? Is the meat delicious? ”

"That's nature!" The innkeeper was proud, "The two pillar industries of Hanglou Town are the fishing industry in the underground lake upstream and the pharmaceutical industry in the upside-down forest on the next floor. The clear fish we have here is the most delicious! It's a pity that it can't be stored for a long time, so it can only be caught and eaten, as long as the fish comes out of the water for more than an hour, the meat will stink. ”

"No wonder I didn't eat it at dinner just now!" I feel a bit of a pity.

"That's right, if you want to eat transparent fish, you have to book in advance, you can't buy it if it's late! How about I, would I like to order a few for you to try tomorrow? "The innkeeper also wants to take advantage of the opportunity to solicit my business.

I thought about it and shook my head. I don't know what the situation will be tomorrow, how dare I book it casually, in case I have to leave tomorrow morning when I get up early? This transparent fish can't be stored for a long time, and it will be wasted if you don't have time to eat it!

After chatting casually for a few words, my sleepiness finally came up completely, and I yawned again and again. After thanking the boss again, I went back to my room and fell asleep, even if the snoring of the bird meat could not stop my sleepiness.

When I woke up the next day, it was already midday. Bu Ye finished breakfast early and went downstairs to guard the trading house, and the bird meat also went down.

After breakfast, the other team members also listlessly began to pack their belongings according to Buye's orders. I was a little anxious, very unwilling, and finally came to Hanglou Town and couldn't buy the local specialty ginseng.

An hour later, the bird meat came up from below. I hurried over and asked him if the goods had arrived?

Bird Meat shook his head and gave the answer I wanted to hear: "Not yet!" The caravan hasn't arrived yet! ”

So, I thought about it carefully, grabbed the bird meat and discussed with him: "I want to buy some ginseng by the way, it's in the pharmacy opposite, and it may take an hour to come and go." ”

Bird Meat hesitated for a moment and said, "Although the caravan has not yet arrived, the other goods are already ready. According to Bu Ye's temperament, it is really possible to drive away at any time! ”

I'm still not giving up, and I hope that Bird Meat will help me cover up.

In desperation, he had no choice but to say: "I don't necessarily have to say this kind of thing." Either you go and get back quickly, and if you don't come back by the time the caravan is leaving, I'll shout to you. Remember, you must not delay, Bu Ye never waits for anyone! ”

I nodded, thinking, "If I can't do it, I'll run over there!"

But when I actually walked on the suspension tower and the suspension bridge, I found that I couldn't walk fast at all, let alone run. The local errand boys and porters seemed to have learned the art of Lingbo's micro-step, and ran freely along the soft and swaying rattan path. And I could only climb the guardrail and move forward step by step. This made me spend a little more time on the road than I expected.

I finally climbed to the 28th floor of the right building opposite, and I was relieved when I finally saw the signboards of several pharmacies. However, the price of the first pharmacy did not go well, and the shopkeeper inside was definitely a profiteer!

He may have seen at a glance that I was a merchant from another place and a novice, so he tried to fool me into buying those high-priced medicinal herbs.

"We're all in the wholesale business here. If you're just here to buy a few strains of Ginseng, I'll only sell them to you at the retail price! He immediately quoted me a price that was only slightly lower than the pharmacy in Zuoqiu City.

"How much do you have to buy to be a wholesale price?" I frowned.

"Or I'll give you a whole package, you just need to buy any four other medicinal herbs of the same price, then you can all calculate at 80% off the retail price." He threw out what he thought was a tempting plan.

But the next moment I turned around and left, leaving him there to scold his mother. Joke? I thought I was a little tabula rasa!

Although time was precious, I decided to shop around and visit several pharmacies in a row before finally picking one of the cheapest bidders. Fortunately, I still brought a lot of Yin Yuan with me this time, and I directly bought enough Yin food for two months.

After visiting this last pharmacy and buying the ginseng, a big stone in my heart was finally put down. I was going to go back to the inn just like that, but I didn't hear Birdmeat call me, so I relaxed a little. At this moment, I saw a long rattan from a distance connected to the upper floor, and the pulley on it hung one rattan basket after another, and I don't know what it was.

It turned out that I had unknowingly reached the upstream end of the right building. It was very close to the underground lake that the innkeeper had spoken of, and the rattan baskets were hoisted up from the lake by pulleys.

I was curious, so I ran over to see it. The underground lake was so wide that you couldn't see the other side at a glance. More than a dozen tall ghost torches were erected on the edge of the lake, reflecting the water on the surface of the lake in a dark green. A few Yin Xiu rowed small boats on the lake, and from time to time a ghost would emerge from the water and throw one or two big fat fish into the cabin. Man is a fisherman, and a ghost is naturally a diver.

There was a man standing on the edge of the fence on the side of the hanging tower and was responsible for reaching out to catch the rattan baskets, and there was something beating in the baskets, probably fish. So I asked him, "Brother, what kind of fish are you in this basket?" ”

"Transparent fish!" He replied casually.

"Transparent fish?" My interest immediately came up, "Can I take a look?" ”

"No problem!" The old man lifted the lid of one of the rattan baskets for me to see. But I couldn't see much, as if only black spots and red flesh were wriggling.

"I can't see anything!"

My brother smiled and asked me, "Would you like to buy a few and try them back?" If you want to buy it, I'll grab a few and show you enough! ”

"Fresh?"

"Nonsense! Of course it's fresh! Isn't this just fished out of the lake? The old brother was not satisfied with my wording, and his eyes widened.

I thought to myself: there is nothing to eat along the way, and I am tired of eating sauerkraut and stir-fried meat every day. I didn't get to taste the transparent fish last night, and since the caravan hasn't left yet, it must have to wait until lunch is over. Forget it, I'll pay for a few and give them a try! Even if it's a newcomer to show their hearts!

Thinking of this, I agreed to buy four transparent fish from that old brother. He took out a few thin rattan sticks from his side, reached out and grabbed one of them into the basket, and then threaded the rattan into the fish's mouth, and then carried it away.
