Chapter 10: The Return and the Bloodstained Gold
(Chapter 3 to, ask for collection and ask for votes!) )
"By the way, boss, do you need these two packs of white salt? How about you pay me a total of fifty gold coins for these things, if you need them? ”
Liu Qi looked at the somewhat chubby spice shop owner across the table, poured out the packets of thirteen spices and two packets of iodized salt in his backpack, and then looked at the fat spice shop owner who was a little bald and said.
“… This white salt, tsk... Fifty gold coins? Okay, wait a minute! ”
Looking at the two packs of white salt wrapped in paper I don't know what it was, the spice shop owner looked at Liu Qi with some hesitation, and found that Liu Qi opened one of the packs with a knife after nodding his head, and after trying the taste, his eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed to Liu Qi's price.
However, he asked Liu Qi to wait a little and hurried out.
A few minutes later, the owner of the spice shop, who had come in with a money bag, ran in.
"Jingle Bell..."
"Fifty gold coins in total! Guests, you can take an inventory! ”
Putting the money bag on the wooden table, the shopkeeper pushed the money bag in front of Liu Qi, said to him, and wiped the sweat beads that had just come out on his forehead, obviously running in a hurry.
"Of course, this has to be inspected!"
"Gollum—"
Liu Qi said unceremoniously, and then untied the money bag directly, but looking at the small things that appeared in front of him in the money bag with a golden luster, Liu Qi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Gold!!
A sparkling gold !!
It's not that Liu Qi hasn't seen those gold and silver jewelry and all kinds of jewelry in TV movies and even jewelry stores, but they are all other people's things, and he doesn't have much hope at all with his net worth.
But these gold coins are about to belong to him!!
“1、2、3、….49、50! That's right! It's fifty gold coins!"
Although Liu Qi doesn't know how to distinguish the fineness of gold, he still has a way to distinguish gold, well, he uses his fingernails to scratch its surface to see if there will be traces.
The hardness of gold and silver is soft, and the ancient gold coin minting process is not up to the modern level, so if it is real gold and silver, it is easy to leave some marks on it with teeth or other hard things, but the accuracy and efficiency of this method are very questionable.
However, although this method is rough, it is better than nothing! Liu Qi is not a gold and silver jewelry craftsman, and he can at least know whether these gold coins are fakes, of course, this possibility is not too big, after all, counterfeit coins are not too popular in the Bronze Age, especially precious metal counterfeits.
"Welcome to our store next time!" The owner of the spice shop looked at the five packets of spices and two packets of white salt on the table with a smile, and was extremely polite to Liu Qi, obviously he was extremely satisfied with this transaction that was satisfactory to both parties.
"Uh-huh, I hope so!" Liu Qi's attention was now focused on the fifty golden gold coins, and he didn't pay much attention to the invitation of the spice shop owner.
Looking at Liu Qi's perfunctory attitude, the spice shop owner frowned slightly, but immediately stretched, for him, the spices and white salt that Liu Qi had just sold were enough for him to make a fortune in Beila City, Liu Qi's current perfunctory response attitude is not a problem in front of the gold coin! Merchant, the desire for gold coins is an abnormal obsession, what is a perfunctory attitude?
After being respectfully sent out by the owner of the spice shop, Liu Qi looked outside, grinned, and felt the heavy feeling in the backpack behind him (what he thought), which was always a little unreal.
"Well, it's always a bit unreal now, fifty gold coins, each one is much heavier than a silver coin, and it is estimated that it adds up to about a catty! Let me calculate, if a gram of gold is sold in a black store, at least 200 yuan is okay, then a pound of 500 grams is... At least 100,000 soft girl coins???!!! ”
"Sir! Mr!! ”
As soon as he walked out of the spice shop, Liu Qi was still recalling that his original flat purse might become bulging all of a sudden, when a voice that seemed familiar interrupted his bittersweet memories.
"Huh?! It's you! Ult! ”
Liu Qi looked in the direction of the voice with some displeasure, and only after finding out that it was Ult did he slow down his tone a little.
"Sir! I've been waiting for you, do you still need me to show the way? ”
Wuert asked Liu Qi with a rather courteous look, but he seemed to be deliberately currying favor with Liu Qi.
“… Well, forget it, go to the nearby jewelry or jewelry store! ”
Liu Qi didn't know why Uert looked so courteous, he could only attribute it to the power of the silver coin, Liu Qi, who was already planning to go back, looked at Uert with a pleading pitiful look, thinking that he still had ten glass beads and didn't make a move, and the words of refusal that came to his mouth turned into an inquiry.
"Yes! Be!! Please follow me!! ”
There was a hint of ecstasy in Ult's eyes, but it was fleeting, and he hurried ahead to lead the way.
Liu Qi walked behind him, although he had just exchanged the worthless things he had on hand for dozens of gold coins, but for some reason, he always felt a little panicked in his heart.
"What's going on? Could it be that the owner of the spice shop just now is going to eat black? Or..."
Looking at the figure in front of him who was walking a little fast, Liu Qi frowned a little, somehow, since he was shocked and changed his body, his senses have become more and more acute. Yesterday (the time in the real shijie) when I first entered the Age of Empires shijie, I also had this panicked feeling when I encountered the wolves, but I didn't fully notice it at the time, so why is this feeling happening now?
Liu Qi, who was secretly lifting his spirit in his heart, took out the small axe in the backpack and placed it between the backpack and his back, well, as for the worn-out pot lid? Well, already thrown back! The defensive effect and appearance of that thing are really speechless, so it's better to carry an axe and cut people directly.
………………
After Ult led Liu Qi through a few streets, Liu Qi had already confirmed in his heart that something was very wrong.
The sneaky guys who followed behind him were not like modern agents or spies, without the slightest tracking skills, and they followed a few streets from the market in the back, without the slightest disguise or disguise, did they really think they were blind? But considering that this is the Bronze Age, espionage or stalking skills are far from being developed to the level of later generations, and that those people are not very specialists, it is understandable to be found.
"Ult..."
Liu Qi looked coldly at the guy in front of him who was trying to take him to a remote alley, with a hint of anger in his eyes, and his hand tightly grasped the handle of the steel axe.
How dare this guy deceive himself? He must pay a heavy price!!
Liu Qi's heart roared like a tsunami!
Liu Qi, who killed a wild wolf with his own hands, is now not as good as those soldiers or soldiers who have experienced the battlefield in the era of cold weapons, but he can be regarded as a person who has seen blood (wolf blood is also counted).
Seeing that he was getting more and more remote, the pedestrians around him were becoming scarcer, and the buildings were becoming more and more dilapidated, Liu Qi no longer had the excitement of selling the spices and salt just now, but was angry and angry, and there was a trace of killing intent!!
"Sir, when you enter this little alley, you will be... Yes!!! ”
When Ult saw the alley in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he quickly turned his head to explain to the strange businessman in strange clothes behind him. He knew that the other party must be a little suspicious, after all, he didn't have the ability to hide the situation in the surrounding streets, but as long as the other party got here, he couldn't help it, this remote alley was the most chaotic place in Beira City, there were often dead people or fights, as long as he was careful, the money on this businessman was enough for him to pay off those gambling debts...
However, before Uert finished telling the lie he had fabricated, a palm-sized axe slashed into his neck, and the sharp axe instantly severed his arteries, and the blood splashed at the fracture was a foot high, even staining Liu Qi's body.
Looking at Wuerte, who fell to the ground and rolled around screaming and rolling around his neck, Liu Qi knew that this guy was dead, and the blood vessels in his neck arteries were cut off, and this injury would have a chance of life unless he immediately appeared in the modern emergency room.
But... It's the Bronze Age, and there's a hairy emergency room, so this guy Ult is almost dead!! And at most after a few minutes you will die from excessive blood loss!!
"Phew, human blood really tastes better than wolf blood!"
Liu Qi ignored Ult, who fell to the ground and howled, wiped his face twice with his hand, spit out a mouthful of saliva that had just been stained with Ult's blood, and evaluated the difference between the two.
Looking at the few people behind him who saw that the situation was not right, they had already unabashedly their tracks and took out the weapons hidden on their bodies, Liu Qiqiang resisted his desire to vomit, and did not step forward to meet the battle, but turned around and ran into the small alley.
By the time a few Romans with bronze daggers or daggers and the like ran over, Ult was not far from death, and could only show with his hands and feet, which twitched from time to time.
After leaving a person to watch, several Romans followed Liu Qi to the alley, but they did not find any trace of Liu Qi, so they could only run over quickly.
After some deliberation, they divided the linen robes and things on Ult's body, and dragged the body away, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.
When the city guards who enforce the order in the city arrive, there is no trace of it except for a pool of blood, and it can only be hastily cleaned up and ended!
………………………
"Whew... It's finally back! ”
Liu Qi stood in front of his laptop with his backpack on his back and gasped, he was carrying a small axe stained with blood stains in his hand, and the clothes on his body also showed many signs of blood, completely looking like a murderer had just left the scene of the murder.
"It's so dangerous, if you don't have a chance to quit, it's a little difficult to run, but I finally ran out! Hmph, Uert, you dare to eat black, and now you will become completely dead! ”
While Liu Qi was busy taking off the blood-stained clothes on his body, he thought viciously in his mind, and in the face of danger, Liu Qi, an otaku, chose to be a killer without hesitation.
“… Hey, I got it on my backpack too! Well, it's good that the gold and silver coins were not lost! ”
Taking off the bloody clothes on his body, Liu Qi found that the backpack was also stained with some blood, but when he opened the backpack and saw that the gold and silver coins inside were fine, Liu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If you lose the gold and silver coins that you almost got with your life, it will be a tragedy!
"Take a shower, wash your clothes, and your backpack first, and then deal with these gold and silver coins!"
After grabbing a handful of gold and silver coins in his hands and feeling the magic of these small things, Liu Qi decided to deal with the blood stains on his body first, and then decided to sell these things.
While Liu Qi was taking a bath, humming a little song, placed on the gold coin on the table, a trace of fine blood stained the bright gold coin, red and gold intertwined with an unusually dazzling eye!
