Chapter 227: Mortal Planet (2)

Han Bing picked up the wine jug, took a sip, and asked, "Xue'er, how old are you this year?"

"Seventeen. Ling Xue lowered her head, her face even redder.

"Tomorrow, I'd like to go around the nearby town. Han Bing said.

"Really?" Ling Xue raised her head, her eyes flashing brightly, "I haven't been on the street for a long time, I'll tell my grandmother to take you out tomorrow." ”

"That's fine. Han Bing smiled and nodded, he was not familiar with the nearby towns, and it was not a bad thing to have someone as a guide, he had a stomach full of doubts in his heart, but asking it would inevitably cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so it was better to go out and take a walk and see more.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Han Bing opened his eyes, and all night, he was breathing breathing, and the quilt on the bed was still folded unchanged. Of course, he used his own spirit stone to breathe, and after a night of vomiting, most of the injuries in his body had recovered.

"Brother Han, are you up?" Ling Xue's voice came from outside the door.

Han Bing shook his head, walked to the door, and opened the door.

"Let's go now?" he asked.

"Hmm. Ling Xue nodded excitedly, her playful pigtails jumped up and down, looking lively and smart, she waved her right fist and said, "Grandfather gave money, we can go to the street to buy food, we don't have to eat breakfast at home." ”

"Let's go, then. Han Bing was infected by her excitement and smiled.

The two quickly left the hospital gate and came to an official road not far away. The official road is not too wide, it is just a border town, and it is not very prosperous.

After a while, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind her, Ling Xue turned around and said excitedly: "The carriage is here, we can take the carriage to the street, much faster." ”

Han Bing stood on the side of the road and watched a domestic four-wheeled carriage slowly stop in front of the two of them under Ling Xue's beckoning.

"Go, go up. Han Bing followed Ling Xue to the carriage and sat down, the carriage had no carport, and it looked like there could be a maximum of seven or eight people in the entire carriage, with two rows of wooden benches. At this time, there were only Han Bing and the two in the carriage.

"How much does it cost to go to the town market?" Ling Xue asked the coachman.

"10 copper coins per person. The coachman raised his whip, the horse pulling the cart neighed, and the carriage started slowly. Ling Xue took out 20 copper coins and handed them to the coachman.

Han Bing noticed the money Ling Xue was taking, and knew in his heart that the currency here should be gold, silver, and copper coins, which seemed to be the same as the mortal currencies of other Xiuzhen Stars. Han Bing had always had little contact with mortal merchants, and he didn't have much concept of these coins.

Han Bing looked at both sides of the official road all the way, it was quite desolate, except for a few buildings in the sparse Lala, most of the places were overgrown with wild grass. In the barren grass, the graves are particularly conspicuous, and many of them look like they have been newly buried.

"This is at the junction with the Qi country, and there have been many wars and many deaths for many years. Beside Han Bing, Ling Xue said softly, her eyes also on those newborn graves.

Han Bing turned his head, showing a trace of sympathy in his eyes, he knew without asking that Xue'er's father should have also died in the war with the Qi State.

The carriage galloped all the way, and in the middle of the road, several fellows who rushed to the market were carried one after another, and the new ones talked happily all the way, but it was also lively.

Han Bing's gaze kept observing the surroundings, and every grass and tree here was full of strangeness to him.

After about half an hour, the official road became wider and wider, and the buildings on both sides also increased significantly.

"It's almost there. Ling Xue looked at the front of the carriage and said loudly.

The coachman in front of him whipped the horse's buttocks again, and said loudly: "You come to the market today, and you should still be able to encounter the excitement." ”

"What's the excitement?" someone accosted.

"A few days ago, from Han Wuguo, a group of traveling merchants came, bringing a lot of novelty objects, and many people rushed to buy them, which was very lively. The coachman said loudly.

"Ah, I heard that the silk of the Han Wuguo is beautifully made, and the clothes are very beautiful and comfortable to wear. A woman in the car immediately said in surprise.

"It's just too expensive. ”

"Yes, it's too expensive, the daughter of the old Qin family got married some time ago, and I bought some silk from the Han Wuguo, and I touched a few handfuls at that time, and the quality is really not to be said, it is as smooth as water. "The woman in the car, you said a word, and I said a word.

Han Bing turned his head and suddenly glanced at Ling Xue's somewhat lost eyes on the side.

"What's wrong with you?" Han Bing wondered.

"Nope. Ling Xue was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook her head, a blush crawling on her face.

At a street corner, the carriage stopped, and Han Bing and several people got out of the car.

"It's the market, and it's a bit lively. Han Bing looked at the dense crowd in the distance and sighed.

"yes, it's the biggest market in town, and it's not too far from our house. Cher looked around and swept over the shelves of goods on the side of the street.

The two walked forward, Han Bing tried his best to spread his divine sense, here, with all his strength, the coverage of his divine sense was only ten zhang away, he observed the crowd around him, after a long time, his heart sank, as he expected, there was not a single monk here, not a single one.

Ling Xue bought a few meatloaf at a food stall and handed them to Han Bing, Han Bing couldn't refuse, so she reluctantly took one, and the rest was eaten by her alone.

"Is it delicious?" Han Bing looked at Ling Xue's gobbling up, like a naughty child.

"Hiccups – delicious. Ling Xue said as she wiped the oil stains off her mouth with a handkerchief, and suddenly her face turned red, as if she realized something, and muttered a little embarrassedly: "People haven't eaten meatloaf on the street for a long time." ”

"If it's delicious, buy more and take it home to eat slowly. Han Bing touched her head and said with a smile, what a child.

"No," Ling Xue's eyes widened, and she said seriously, "Grandmother also asked me to buy a few pieces of cloth to go back." As she spoke, she took a handful of stiff cloth from her pocket and counted them one by one.

Han Bing glanced at it, except for the three silver coins in her hand, the others were all copper coins. Just one meatloaf costs 5 copper coins, and these money obviously can't buy much of anything, he sighed lightly, hesitated slightly, took her little hand, and said:

"Let's go, go look elsewhere. ”

The two walked a long way further and finally stopped in front of a cloth shop. Ling Xue took a few steps forward and stood in front of the counter full of all kinds of cloth. Han Bing swept the labels on the bundles.

Linen 50 copper coins a foot, cotton 80 copper coins a foot......

As Han Bing's eyes turned, he suddenly saw a label in the innermost part that said Han Wu silk: 50 silver coins per foot. Sure enough, it was very expensive, Han Bing's eyes froze, he had never bought these things, so naturally he didn't care about the price, and when he compared it at this moment, he felt it.

50 silver coins is 5,000 copper coins, which is equivalent to the living expenses of ordinary farmers for half a year. Ling Xue's gaze also glanced at those colorful satins, but she quickly turned her gaze away.

"What kind of cloth do the two guest officers want?" The shopkeeper poked his head out from behind the counter, glanced at the two of them, and finally stopped on Han Bing, in his opinion, compared to the girl in front of him, Han Bing was much more decently dressed, like a rich family.

What Han Bing is wearing should also be regarded as a kind of silk shirt, but the fabric is a little strange, not like it is made locally. The shopkeeper's gaze swept over Han Bing's clothes, and he had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask.

"Shopkeeper, I want three feet of cotton, this kind of cloth. Ling Xue pointed to a roll of light gray cotton cloth on the counter in front of her and said. The same cotton cloth is also divided into many colors and is dyed with different dyes.

"Okay!" the shopkeeper opened the cloth roll neatly, took a ruler to measure, cut and packed, and the whole movement was smooth. "Preferential price, a total of 220 copper coins. ”

Ling Xue paid the money and took the cloth from the shopkeeper's hand, Ling Xue glanced back at Han Bing and said, "Brother Han, let's go?"

Han Bing's gaze had been staying on the few rolls of colorful silk, and Ling Xue followed his gaze and glanced at those silks a few more times with a longing expression.

"Guest officer, do you want to buy a little authentic Hanwu silk back, these silk are new goods that have just been shipped, the quality is absolutely high, and they are good goods that money can't buy on weekdays?"

"Thank you, shopkeeper, this is too expensive, we won't buy it for the time being. Ling Xue pulled the corner of Han Bing's clothes and smiled at the shopkeeper.

Han Bing also looked at the shopkeeper, and then followed Ling Xue out of the store, the silk was good, but Han Bing didn't have the money in his hand, so he couldn't buy it. In this kind of mortal planet where there are no monks at all, spirit stones must not be used as currency.

When leaving the store, although Han Bing had his back to the store, he still noticed a hint of ridicule on the shopkeeper's face. He sighed lightly, quickened his pace, and followed Ling Xue to the crowd on the side of the road, and continued to walk forward.

The powerful monk of the dignified Holy Period was actually stumped by a few gold coins.

Walking on the road, Ling Xue gradually became a little more cheerful, anyway, she hadn't thought about buying those expensive silks at all, so she wasn't too disappointed. It's just that Han Bing himself is a little lacking in energy.

"Brother Han, what do you want to eat, I'll buy it for you. Ling Xue raised her clenched fist, she still had some money in her hand.

Han Bing looked at the quirky girl in front of him, his heart was much more relaxed, and he smiled: "I'm not hungry, No, there is a stall selling headdresses over there, do you want to buy some?" Han Bing said, pointing to a stall not far away.

On the wooden shelf of the stall, there are all kinds of delicate objects such as hair bands and hairpins, which look dazzling, Ling Xue's eyes were instantly attracted, and the two of them came to the stall, picked and chosen, and finally took two hair bands, one water-colored and one pink.

Han Bing looked at Ling Xue with a satisfied face, and sighed in his heart, he had long been accustomed to the cruelty of the cultivation realm, and he had seen more fighting, killing and killing, and for the first time, he had fully integrated into the life of mortals, and suddenly felt that this kind of life was actually happier.

At the next stall, after Ling Xue bought a few more small pendants, the money in her hand was not much, and the two of them saw that it was still early, and planned to go back after shopping casually and seeing the excitement.
