Chapter 314: A Town with a Big Head
With a flick, the charming gold coin flipped in the air, blooming with a blinding light in the afterglow of the setting sun, and then it was ruthlessly held in the palm of the palm by a hand! The old man's mood is as painful as his first love at the age of 18 and running away from a stinky boy herding sheep!
Xiao Zhi sat cross-legged on the cart and said lightly: "Old man, I am a traveler from other places, and I accidentally lost my way on this Gobi Desert, can I use this gold coin as a reward to take me to the nearest town?" ”
The old man's eyes were fixed on Xiao Zhi's hand holding the gold coin, and the color of greed was unobstructed, but through the contact just now, he also knew that the strange young man in front of him was not a good person to mess with. The reason why he lived to the age of 68 was that in addition to not being nosy, he was aware of current affairs......
He hurriedly rubbed his hands and smiled: "Of course, I often help many lost travelers on this Gobi Desert." ”
Bang, the gold coin crossed in the air and a beautiful figure fell into the old man's hand, subconsciously put it in his mouth and bit it with yellow teeth, it was gold, very pure gold casting, and he made a fortune!
Silver coins are now popular, and gold coins are also in circulation, but the amount is too small, and those large quantities of gold are basically made into all kinds of gold ornaments and tableware in the homes of managers, because they think that gold is a kind of defilement in the hands of the common people. As a result, the value of gold coins in the hands of civilians has skyrocketed......
Using gold coins is not only of high value, but also can enhance your status invisibly (fantasy)!
The old man carefully put the gold coin into the innermost hidden pocket in the crotch of his trousers, smiled and gave the old horse a whip, and dragged the cart in the direction of the setting sun.
Xiao Zhi smiled, his gaze suddenly froze, because of the distortion of space, a brown piece of paper fell.
Here's the mission.
Stretched out his hand to catch it, only to see the content on the piece of paper: "Kill more than three ancient gods of Yanan, both reality and dream ancient gods, that is, the task is completed, note, no summons can be summoned to assist." ”
Well......
Is this cutting the old gods as a vegetable?
There are more than three ancient gods, and it is difficult to say four directly?
In Yanan Town, in addition to the ancient gods who abandoned their bodies and flew to the dream (spiritual) world, there are also ancient gods left over from the past that did not ascend in reality, and they are all difficult to deal with, and their abilities are very strange......
Xiao Zhi sighed softly, and the old man in the carriage heard it, and said with a hoarse smile: "Young man, what is there to sigh, my speed is very fast, and I will definitely be able to reach the town before dark!" ”
Xiao Zhi raised his head, this old man dared to transport dry food on the Gobi Desert alone, he was also a not simple character, the action of pulling out the gun and the knife just now was clean and neat, and if he was an ordinary person, he would have been lying on the ground a long time ago, or the old man could know something.
He coughed lightly twice and said: "I left my family and walked around the world alone, in order to see the prosperity and magic of various places with my own eyes......
When Yanan was spoken, the old man's expression changed slightly, and even the carriage was a little slower, and he pretended to ask casually: "Oh, Yanan scholar, what did he say, as far as I know, the people there are crazy." ”
The car kept jolting, making the parts that Xiao Zhi was carrying keep clanging, and he looked at the orange sunset and said: "That scholar is very proud to say that their students have researched a kind of blood that can cure all diseases in Yanan, as long as a drop is injected into the human body, it can eliminate the symptoms and restore health, and even the dying can be saved......"
The old man sneered and said, "What a madman, only a madman can do it by injecting the blood of something unknown into the human body." I've seen a lot of terminally ill people, desperate for a glimmer of life, passing through our town to buy supplies, and then traveling thousands of miles to Yanan, so far I haven't seen a single person come back from Yanan, I say that you should understand. ”
Xiao Zhi shrugged his shoulders: "No way, magical places are always attractive, I also want to go there to see what is going on with the blood that can cure all diseases......
The old man shook his head, he suddenly thought of something: "To go to Yanan, you need to cross a desert, you must need to purchase supplies in our town, find me directly, no matter what materials you need, even weapons, swords and guns can be obtained for you, and at the best price!" I have more connections than anyone else. ”
Xiao Zhi casually agreed.
The carriage came to a quaint town before the sun went down completely, it was very prosperous, there were all kinds of people walking around the streets, but there seemed to be no public toilets here, and many people solved the problem of urinating and defecating, and directly found a relatively hidden corner to release themselves at will......
Walking on the street is the most suitable, although there is also feces and urine everywhere, but it is much better than those small streets and alleys, Xiao Zhi didn't believe in the old man's evil and took a closer look at an alley, and almost died on the spot, which is definitely a hellish existence.
His stomach kept churning back and forth, and he forced himself to leave, but a woman pushed open the window on the second floor, poured a plate of and urine into the alley, splashed a little on his shoes and trouser legs, and his endurance instantly collapsed, and she vomited all over the ground......
The old man was no stranger to this kind of scene, all the small towns he knew were basically the same, looking at the young man's white-skinned and squeamish appearance, he must have come from an aristocratic family in a big town! Alas, it is good to be born, if he can also be born in a rich family, at this time he should be a servant under his feet, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are constant.
After Xiao Zhi vomited, he was not in the mood to purchase supplies, he walked into the most exclusive dilapidated hotel in the town under the introduction of the old man, because the gold coins were too dazzling, in order to sleep peacefully, all the money paid was exchanged for silver coins, but he generously gave the waiter a few silver coins as consumption, which still surprised people......
It is unthinkable to get extra money without having to pay extra for services, and everyone is not very wealthy, including foreign travelers, who are eager to use one silver coin as two flowers and completely squeeze the value of it......
Xiao Zhi set a trap in the room before going to bed to prevent the old man from being greedy and taking risks to plot, but after a quiet night, he was not disturbed in any way, and he felt very satisfied, and he was still a well-behaved person.
After waking up, he went to the town market to choose a camel suitable for crossing the desert, the old man was already waiting here, and recommended a strong camel for Xiao Zhi to test ride to feel comfortable......
Xiao Zhi was not verbose, bought two camels, hung them with enough water and dry food, and some emergency things. The old man volunteered to be a guide, saying that it was difficult to tell the direction in the desert by relying on the map alone, and that someone had gone around the desert in a large circle with water and dry food, and as a result, Yanan did not make it and returned to the town.
It's always good to have a guide.
The old man's name was Charles Fukes.
