Chapter 28: The East, the East
Walking on the street, Qu Shan was relaxed for a long time.
In the past few years, he has been forcing himself to be in cultivation, and he hasn't walked outside for a long time. But today, he suddenly walked out of the warrior camp on a whim.
Storm Bear City has not changed much, and three years is too short for a city to change, so short that it is almost negligible.
A weapons shop suddenly appeared in front of him, Qu Shan hesitated for a moment and walked in.
He has never had any good weapons, and the only weapons he uses are standard spears issued in the reserve camp, which is extremely uneasy for him, who is used to using flying sword magic weapons in his previous life, and the quality is not satisfactory. Although Qu Shan had also thought about refining a flying sword for himself, with his current cultivation, it was simply impossible, and the materials used for the flying sword were not something that could be found casually.
The shop is unusually simple, the boss is a middle-aged man, with a rough face full of kindness, seeing the song list, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Is the little brother here to choose weapons?" Our shop has the best smelting master in the tribe, refining swords, guns, swords and spears of all kinds of weapons, there are many varieties, the quality is definitely the best in the whole tribe, the little brother can choose at will...... Of course, if there are any special requirements, you can also put them forward, and we guarantee to make you satisfied......"
Qu Shan is dressed now in the leather armor of a reserve battalion soldier, although he is young, the boss does not dare to slack off. Such a person, maybe a few years later, will be a member of the three armies, and it is not something that a person like him can afford to provoke.
Qu Shan roughly scanned the weapons on display, and sure enough, there were a variety of them, there were as many as ten or twenty kinds, and the largest number were knives, guns, bows and arrows.
Picking up a steel knife casually, the sharp blade flashed with a cold light, Qu Shan lightly touched the blade with his hand, and a small wound immediately appeared on his fingertips. The smelting technique is indeed very good, Qu Shan nodded.
Put down the steel knife and pick up another spear. The body of the spear is made of aged iron poplar, which is a fine material, tough enough, and the spear edge is also polished to shine, and it looks like a fine steel spear.
However, Qu Shan was not pleased, these weapons were similar to the ones he was using now.
Looking at them one by one, I didn't find any better weapons, and Qu Shan felt a little disappointed. It seems that it is not easy to find a random guy on the street.
He was about to go outside, but the owner of the shop stopped him.
"Isn't my brother satisfied with the weapons in this shop? This shop is the best shop in the tribe, and if you can't find a suitable one here, you won't be able to buy it anywhere else. ”
Qu Shan smiled: "Boss, the things you have here are just ordinary goods, and such a weapon can also be called the best in the tribe?"
The boss smiled mysteriously: "Hehe, what is placed outside here, of course, is just ordinary goods, if you want a good one, it's not without ......" He suddenly leaned into Qu Shan's ear, "Our store also has excellent weapons shipped from the East, little brother might as well take a look......"
Qu Dan's eyes couldn't help but light up, the weapon of the East?
He still remembered that the long knife in Abbahu's hand had been handed down from the East, and its tenacity and sharpness were much higher than that of ordinary weapons.
"But for the price...... It's going to be a little more expensive. The boss laughed.
uh——!
Qu Shan was stunned. Price?
Only then did he realize that he didn't have any money at all. When I was in Bujia Village, the people in the village were self-sufficient, and occasionally an exchange was also bartered, how could there be such a thing as money, after arriving in Storm Bear City, because I had been staying in the reserve camp, all the food, clothing, housing and transportation were distributed for free, and there was no place to use the money.
He scratched his head and pretended to be calm and said, "How are the weapons of the East compared to the ones outside?"
"Then you don't need to say!" the boss said with a smug face, "It's not that I'm bragging, the smelting technology of the Oriental people is more than a hundred times higher than that of our Storm Bear Tribe, and the weapons they make, each of them is a high-quality product, in our Snow Clan's tribe, but it costs a lot of money......"
Qu Shan snorted: "Isn't it forged by the folding method......
The boss was stunned for a moment, as if he was surprised how the song list knew how to fold, and he smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, it turns out that the little brother also knows how to do it." In that case, I'll tell you the truth, if the little brother wants an oriental weapon, I can offer the lowest price, how about forty yuan......"
Qu Shan pursed his lips and walked out of the door with his hand: "If it's just that kind of goods, forget it." Hey, is it really that hard to find a good weapon......" doesn't give the other party a chance to talk at all.
Boss: "......"
After walking a long way, Qu Shan couldn't help but laugh, the boss was really bluffed. But then I thought about it, I was going to get some money. Penniless, no matter what world you are in, you can't.
............
There was a sudden commotion in the streets, and some people ran in the direction of the city gates.
At first, there were only one or two people, but gradually more and more people merged, and it became a large flow of people. People swarmed and ran in the direction of the city gates. While running, someone shouted: "The caravan from the east is coming, everyone go and see it." ”
"Run, the caravan has brought a lot of good things, and you won't be able to grab them if it's too late!"
"It's finally here, it's only once in a few years, and this time I must grab a good ...... goods"
Figures swished past Qu Dan, as if they were in a 100-meter race. As the number of shouts increased, the queue that followed the outside grew larger and stronger, and at the last glance, the entire street was full of rolling people, forming a super long queue with no end in sight.
Oriental caravans?
Qu Shan was stunned for a moment, and then ran along. Just now I was talking about the weapons of the Orientals, and in the blink of an eye, a real person appeared.
He had heard of this oriental race more than once.
Most of the tribe's sophisticated weapons are produced in the east, and these weapons have a deep impact on the life of the tribesmen, and the thousands of villages in the tribe, the animal skins and herbs and other items that are hunted every year are mostly gathered in Storm Bear City, most of which are used by the residents of Storm Bear City, and a small part are purchased by merchants from the east.
In addition to these, cloth, porcelain, tea and other items in the East are all favorite items of the tribesmen, and often as soon as the Oriental caravans appear, they will be looted.
There was a very close commercial exchange between the Orientals and the tribes.
In addition, every year of the tribe's Violent Bear Mount Trial, the warriors who pass the test can get their own Oriental names given by the tribe, which are specially taken by the patriarchs and elders who hire visitors from the East.
Even the four-level structure of the army, battalion, guard, and team in the Violent Bear Army, as well as the training methods that Qu Shan receives every day, I heard that they also borrowed from the training model of the Orientals, so that they have this set of things that do not seem to belong to their own civilization.
It can be said that although the Orientals are not common, their culture and civilization have deeply influenced all areas of the life of the Storm Bear Clan.
The gates of the city had long been crowded, and the people were shouting loudly, crowding forward and moving forward, rushing outward, as if the caravan in the east had an attraction comparable to that of a black hole.
Qu Shan was startled by the scene in front of him, he gritted his teeth, slammed into the crowd, and squeezed forward desperately.
There are people all around, shoulder to shoulder, butt squeezing buttocks, and there is a rare gap. Qu Shan rushed left and right in the crowd, moving forward with difficulty.
The Orientals are even more attractive to him than these people. After coming to this world for so long, the scope of his life is just such a big world, which is unbearable for him who was well-informed in his previous life, and he has long longed for a life farther away.
I don't know how long it took, but the front suddenly emptied. When I looked up, I saw that I had already squeezed to the front. The crowd was surging with emotion, shouting loudly, stretching their necks, and staring with their eyes open.
Qu Shan looked over, and a shocking scene came into his eyes.
