Chapter 25, Water Spirit Carving

The morning light kicked off, and freshness descended on the world.

The door of the Su family in Tielangfang opened, and Su Ang walked out, the bright red crown on his head and the green bamboo thorn painting on his left forehead to his cheek contrasted with each other, and he was dressed in a brand-new muslin robe, which made him particularly energetic.

The place to go is the 'city' located in the neighborhood of Li, the so-called 'market' is the market, a place for buying and selling, and there is a market in each district, but on the other side of the neighborhood is the most complete and best goods.

All the way, they all nodded to him, and when they looked at his left cheek, there was less disgust and more approval. Su Ang laughed a little, the cuizhu that was also painted was to cover the scar before he won the list, but after he won the list, it became something that was praised.

After walking around twice, I bought a roll of white iron Jane and spent hardware. The white iron Jane is one grade higher than the Qingzhu Jane, just the hardware, which is cheap, but the price is clearly marked on the "market", and there is a Jane broken in half as evidence, and I am not afraid of buying fakes, the only pity is: I didn't buy the satisfactory carving.

Engraving is used to write, and its quality affects the speed of conversation. Sitting down at a restaurant, Su Ang knocked on the table and said, "Shopkeeper, have a bowl of broth." ”

The restaurant is a place for pedestrians to eat and rest, different from Dongtulou, it belongs to the kind of flow, the thatched roof is thin wooden wall, and the flagpole cloth flag with the word "food" will be inserted at the door, generally only boiled millet is provided, but the cloth flag of this house is not small, there should be millet and millet boiled, that is, the broth boiled with cereals.

The broth came up quickly, Su Ang took a sip, felt that there was little salt, and didn't care, took out his own carving, wiped it with his fingers, and sighed.

This carving has been used for two years, and it has been dull, so what about using it to talk about the war and play around?

Syllable!

Suddenly, two dark figures sat beside him, one of them clapping his hand on the table and pressing it against it.

When I turned my head to look, I found that there were two people wearing black cloaks, the cloaks were ordinary coarse cloth, but the workmanship was very exquisite, and the head and face were covered together, so I couldn't see the appearance clearly, and I couldn't see the men and women clearly.

The other party still lowered his head, and a hoarse voice came from under the hood: "Are you looking for carving? ”

Hearing this deliberately pretended sound, Su Ang nodded slightly, and the other party took his palm away, only to see that it was a finger-long carving, like a knife, and the end was wrapped with black leather. Su Ang put his hand up, but as soon as he touched it, he couldn't help but flash with astonishment in his eyes.

It's not too expensive, but it's too cheap, Su Ang asked the price of carving, and the top one on the market costs fifty gold, but in terms of feel, it is 108,000 miles worse than Shui Lingke.

This carving, which feels like a woman's soft skin, is bent and is just clasped between the index and middle fingers, like an extension of the fingers, and with a slight stroke, it cuts through the rough tabletop.

Looking at the blade and tip of the water spirit carving, Su Ang was even more surprised, other carvings were all bronze or iron, and the water spirit carving was crystal clear, like the most transparent glass. No, it's not glass! it's a diamond, or rather, a polished, huge diamond!

In the 21st century, diamond is the hardest substance in nature, so diamonds are extremely expensive, there is a saying that "a diamond lasts forever, and the diamond lasts forever", Su Ang does not know the price of diamonds in Yao Kingdom, but the polishing work alone is far more than 20 gold, and then look at the hardness of diamonds, think with your ass, and know that it is much stronger than the 'top' cutting of 50 gold!

At this moment, both black cloaks trembled, and one of them made a rumbling sound in his stomach.

Glancing at the remaining half bowl of broth, Su Ang took out the blanket, opened his mouth, and poured the remaining nine pieces of gold cakes, as well as more than a hundred and a half taels, into a table. The two black-robed men stood up and stared at the nine golden cakes, unable to see their faces, but seeing their bodies trembling, it was obvious that their emotions were not very good.

"You only have nine gold, do you want to buy a water spirit carving?"

The voice was still hoarse, but with the slightly magnetic timbre of a young man, obviously Su Ang's actions made him unable to suppress it, and wanted to do it, but Su Ang smiled, said that he was not in a hurry, and counted sixty from half a tael and pushed it aside.

"Shopkeeper, two more bowls of broth. ”

The shopkeeper of the restaurant was a middle-aged man with a turmeric complexion, and when he heard Su Ang's shout, he hurriedly brought two bowls of broth over, deliberately added more meat, and said with a smile: "Su Kuishou came to the small shop to eat, naturally he wants to add more meat, you ......" The voice stopped suddenly, and the owner looked at the water spirit carving in Su Ang's hand, and then looked at the gold cake and copper coin, his face was a little pale.

Yao Guo has a very strict control over the market, there are special stalls in the market, and after the transaction, it must be given as proof. The tax collector will collect a fee, that is, a tax, according to the simple bill, and trade it in the restaurant, which is equivalent to tax evasion.

It is said that the cool officials are ruthless, and if the tax collector knows, he will not have to open this restaurant.

"Twenty dollars for a bowl of broth, that's the price of three bowls. Rest assured, Suang has no idea of buying or selling items. As he spoke, Su Ang pushed sixty and a half taels over.

"Of course, you're the leader, you use it slowly, use it slowly, use it slowly......"

Unable to offend Su Ang, the shopkeeper left vaguely, standing on the side of the cauldron, still looking over. Facing the vigilance of the shopkeeper and the suppressed anger of the two black-robed people, Su Ang smiled gently and carved the water spirit on the table.

"You should also be Wenjie, you can't sell the guy who eats. ”

Connecting the water spirit carving with gold cakes and copper coins, all of them in the direction of the two black-robed people, Su Ang pointed to the green bamboo pattern painting on the left side of his face, and laughed at himself: "I, Su Ang, an honest man, can't do anything to rob while the fire is burning, take away your guys who eat, and lend the rest of the money to you." If a friend has the meaning of wealth, he should make me a friend. ”

Hearing this, the shopkeeper stopped paying attention to this side, but at this moment, a laugh came from under the black robe on the left.

"Hey, friend, what is your identity, and you are worthy?"

Boom!

Hearing the laughter of his companion, the black-robed man on the right raised his palm, knocked his companion to the ground, and then lifted the corner of his hood, revealing his scorching eyes, and looked Su Ang up and down. After a while, he smiled and pulled his companion to sit down to eat.

The two of them seemed to be extremely hungry, buried their heads, and quickly drank up the broth, they ate quickly, but their shoulders were level, their arms did not move, and they only used their forearm movements to scoop the broth, if they didn't have to cover their faces with hoods, Su Ang felt that their waists would also be as straight as loose.

After eating, the black-robed man swept the gold cake and half a tael into his coat, looked at Su Ang, and took out something from the cuff of his companion. It has a straight rod with a lustrous sheen, and a sharp howe that seems to be so soft that it seems to pierce everything.

"Brush?" his body shook suddenly, and the muscles on Su Ang's arm couldn't help but tense for seven points.

In the 21st century, brushes are particularly common, but in the Yao Kingdom, they are a rarity.

Different from stone, copper, and iron carving, the brush needs to be made of cherished plants or the bones of the spirit, and the brush is refined with the hair of the most beautiful place of the spirit, so as to transmit talent, and the price is particularly expensive. Moreover, the ink used in the brush is a luxury consumable.

Generally speaking, only people can afford to use a brush, and only people can use a brush to practice calligraphy, and carry out another form of self-cultivation.

So, the two in front of you are lifting people?

Hearing Su Ang's exclamation, the other party was obviously even more surprised, and said with a smile: "In this poor and remote place, you actually know the brush? Mo Duo thought, I am not a lifter, but my family has money, and I have already prepared all kinds of things, so you don't have to worry about me running out of food." ”

Nodding slightly, Su Ang stared at the brush, his eyes were particularly hot.

The other party laughed again: "If you like brushes, you can go to the merchants in the east to see, those merchants are little guys from Tiesha County in the north, they are so poor that they like to take some small things to be embarrassed, they have some four treasures of the study." ”

After that, the other party pinched the water spirit carving, turned around and left, and when he was halfway there, he suddenly shook his hand, and a crystal streamer drew a round arc and inserted it on the table in front of Su Ang.

"You said to make friends? Okay, Shui Ling will send you as a meeting gift!"

Chic, handsome, and a little pretended. Su Ang pinched the water spirit carving, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

It's too late to catch up, the other party has already disappeared in the crowd, but if you accept the water carving, you will be suspected of buying and selling black goods and helping to evade taxes, you have to go to the tax collector to explain the matter, if you are denounced, the cool officials of Yao Country are not joking.

Su Ang beckoned to the shopkeeper and persuaded the shopkeeper to help him go to the tax collector to make a certificate after a while, so he put the water spirit carving in front of him and observed it carefully.

Compared with the water spirit carving, of course, the brush is better, but the water spirit carving is already an extraordinary treasure. Su Ang took out the ordinary bamboo slips and carved two words casually, and the hard bamboo slips were like knives cutting tofu, and a lot of crumbs fell.

took out the white iron slip again, and after a few clicks, the white iron slip was dismantled into pieces.

This situation made De Suang shocked, although he did not cut the body of the white iron Jane, but only cut the rope of the connected roll of the white iron Jane, but the white iron Jane has undergone special treatment, and the toughness of the rope is comparable to that of fine iron.

To be sanctified, to go home, you must first live.

And how much faster will it speed up to talk about it with water spirit carving?

Thinking of this, Su Ang laughed, stood up and called, "Shopkeeper, please accompany me, let's go to the tax collector to explain!"

The market was full of people, rubbing shoulders, but there was a gaze that never left Su Ang's body. Not far to the west of the restaurant, a person wearing fine iron armor and a hideous leopard head on his left shoulder, representing this person, is a hundred generals in charge of a hundred soldiers.

He sat on the ground, with a face more handsome than a woman, but when his eyes opened and closed, all he revealed was iron-blooded murderous aura, as well as Ren Xia's uninhibited arrogance.

"Qi Qi Bai General, Su Jiazi is leaving. "Someone got down on one knee.
