CHAPTER XXIX
Early in the morning, before the other people woke up, Canglan followed Cui Lun's father, Cui Wen, to the stall, and arranged the weapons he had cast in turn, waiting for the arrival of customers.
It's the first time I've done this kind of thing, and I don't know how to do it. In the past, when I was in the Zhuling Mountains, either someone came to the door or Canglan went to Qingyan Town to sell it to a weapon shop, and there was no need to do this kind of thing at all.
"You can yell a few times. Seeing that Canglan hadn't sold a single weapon for a long time, Cui Wen gave him a suggestion.
Where has Canglan ever done such a thing, it is extremely unnatural to shout.
"I'll cheer for you. Cui Wen said, "Come and take a look, the best weapons, it's okay to see if you don't buy them!"
Don't really say it, just a few shouts, there is a person who fell in love with a cold iron axe, Canglan asked for two hundred kulun, that person is also happy, did not bargain, directly gave it.
The first business turned out to be a good sign, and then three more customers came, each of whom bought a cold iron sword. At this time, Ripples also came over and asked about the situation.
"How much money did you make,"
"It's just getting started. ”
"You're too stupid, you can't do business, I'll come. ”
Ripple pushed Canglan aside, "Does anyone buy anything? Does that brother buy anything? Come and see." ”
Ripple's method of shouting was really unbearable, and Cui Wen was laughing back and forth. But even so, Canglan can't deny that this method is really useful, and after a while, the stall was surrounded by water. But most of them weren't there to see weapons.
After Ripple took over the stall, the remaining weapons were quickly sold, and even one sword was sold for a sky-high price of five hundred kuluns, which was really taken aback.
In this way, all the weapons of Canglan were sold, and the income was nearly three thousand kuluns, which was already a large amount. It's time to buy something new.
"Let's go buy something. ”
There was no time to clean up the stall, so the ripples ran away with Canglan. In addition to the stall place, there are also several shops in the transfer station, where you can buy and sell, and not everyone has the time to set up a stall, so many people choose to sell directly to these shops. Although the price may be cheaper, it can be regarded as a time saver.
Canglan visited a few shops, and finally took a fancy to a storage bag, although it was already the smallest one, the price was eight hundred kuluns.
"Couldn't the boss be cheaper?" Ripple asked.
"Girl, you've cut three hundred, you really can't go any lower. Although this is the smallest storage bag, it is also difficult to make, and you won't find a lower price on the market. ”
Ripple stuck out her tongue, "To buy or not to buy?"
"Buy. ”
For Canglan, the importance of storage bags is self-evident. With storage bags, both materials and weapons can be placed inside, and the weight will be reduced proportionally. The past few days just carrying ore and weapons on his back has made Canglan miserable, and he doesn't want to continue like this.
Storage bags look the same as different cloth bags, and are even smaller. Moreover, the storage bag is not just a simple relationship between cloth tape and magic, both the material and the process requirements are very strict.
After that, Ripple bought some daily necessities, and found someone to string the star beads that Canglan gave her and make a necklace to wear around her neck.
"Pretty!"
"Beautiful. ”
"Is it me who is beautiful or the necklace is beautiful. ”
"The necklace is beautiful. ”
At this time, a man walked behind Canglan, and Canglan instinctively turned around.
"May I ask if you are the one who is selling weapons over there today?" The man looked young, with a small hammer hanging from his neck, unlike the one he had seen before, this hammer was red, which meant that this person was a bronze swordsmith.
"It's me, but now the weapons are sold out. ”
"Can you look at that gun behind your back?"
The man said, pointing to the spear behind Canglan.
"This one doesn't sell. ”
"I know, just a little interested. ”
Canglan is a little embarrassed, and it is not a good thing to hand over a weapon to someone else.
"Don't worry, there are a few guards over there, I can't run. The man smiled, knowing what was going on.
Ripple said, "What if you hit us?"
"No," the man said, "I was abrupt, I should introduce myself first, my name is Changyuan, and I am the swordsmith of the Swordsmith Guild in Luoyang Town. ”
Canglan has some impressions, but it seems that the person who sold Cui's father Shuiyan is a member of the Chang family. This person said that his name is Changyuan, which must have something to do with it.
Seeing that Canglan didn't answer for a long time, Changyuan probably knew the answer, "It's really a bit hasty to let someone else hand over their weapons like this." May I ask who made this gun?"
"It was cast by a friend of mine. ”
Canglan lied rarely, and Ripples stared at him for a long time.
"Is this friend of yours here now?"
"No, he's long gone. ”
Changyuan looked a little regretful, "I really want to make friends with him, but I don't have this opportunity." In that case, I won't bother the two of you. ”
After saying that, Changyuan turned around and walked into the distance.
"You lied," Ripple pointed to Canglan's nose, "why are you lying?"
"He has something to do with the person who caused trouble half a month ago, and I don't want to get angry. ”
"There are good reasons, but lying is lying, that's the truth. ”
In fact, Ripple didn't care why Canglan lied, just found a way to suppress Canglan's momentum.
Just as Canglan and Ripple were arguing about the right and wrong of lying, a girl walked by Canglan, Canglan didn't notice her, and she didn't notice Canglan. Therefore, when they argued about how many times they met by chance in the future, they did not count this time.
————
Cao Zhou ran at the front of the line alone, he had to hurry back to the Shuoyue transit station, and he had to hurry up to tell the people at the transit station the news.
The bandits are coming!
After separating Cui Lun and his party, Cao Zhou continued to walk upstream along Mingyue Creek.
His original purpose was to find that demon and then avenge the dead folks, the first time he missed it, and the second time he won't miss it again.
Cao Zhou still remembers the tragic situation of the villagers, even though they have died, their faces are still full of horror. Who can be calm in the face of a sudden death? Those responsible for this matter put the blame on the bandits, which is the simplest thing to do, and it is also the most irresponsible behavior.
Or rather, they have always been responsible, otherwise the bandits would not be so rampant.
Cao Zhou knew that this matter could not be done by a bandit.
Since the completion of the transfer station, the bandits have reined in a lot, they may be planning something, but it is absolutely impossible to slaughter a village at this juncture, it will not do them the slightest benefit. Besides, the goods in the village are all there, and this is not the style of the bandits.
This time the village was slaughtered half a month ago, almost two months after the last one. When Cao Zhou heard the news, he immediately asked Ying to investigate the matter, and Captain Kraft did not refuse.
Seeing the tragic situation in the village, Cao Zhou was sure that it was the work of one person, which also meant that the responsibility would be pushed to the bandits again, and the matter would be settled again. However, this time was different from the last time, a child escaped the catastrophe by hiding under a haystack.
Cao Zhou originally wanted to get some news from the child's mouth, but the child was too frightened to speak, and just kept pointing in one direction, which was the upper reaches of Mingyue Creek.
Cao Zhou had no other information, so he went up the river, trying to find any clues.
After walking for several days in a row, Cao Zhou found nothing, and he began to doubt himself.
Why am I on this path?
What's the point?
Will that demon be waiting for me upstream?
Cao Zhou kept questioning himself, but he never gave up, because he had no other clues, not at all.
To be honest, Cao Zhou didn't want to see Cui Lun, because seeing Cui Lun would make him unconsciously think of another person, who was Cao Zhou's friend and lived in the first village to be slaughtered.
After separating Cui Lun, Cao Zhou walked along Mingyue Creek for a few more days, and his subordinates began to complain. Cao Zhou also realized that he was too persistent, chose to give up, and embarked on the road back.
But it was on the way back that Cao Zhou found the base camp of the bandits.
There is a wilderness where Mingyue Creek diverges, and on the other side of the wilderness are continuous mountains, which is such an obvious place, but it has not been discovered for so many years. It's no wonder that in the past few years, basically no one wanted Mingyue Valley, and the army's so-called search was just pretending, and it had never been careful.
This is the base camp of the bandits, and Cao Zhou did not rush into it directly, but grabbed a patrolling person around to inquire about the situation. This person originally refused to say anything, but after Cao Zhou scared him a few times, he recruited them all. At this time, Cao Zhou realized how serious the situation was.
Is there a chance that the bandits will win by attacking the transit station? Normally speaking, no, but not necessarily if there is an internal response. The bandits had been planning this for a long time, and had succeeded in inserting a gap to the transit station. They will attack at night, if not destroy the remedial, but make it inoperable.
Four days, according to the normal speed, it takes four days to rush back to the transfer station, Cao Zhou had arrived at the transfer station in the second night, and after showing his identification, he successfully met the leader of the transfer station, Hill.
"It's a big deal, the bandits are coming!"
As soon as Cao Zhou finished saying this, a noisy voice came from outside.
The bandits are coming!
