Chapter 299: Yu Maiden
There are still two days before the opening of the market, but sporadic trading has gradually begun, and according to the information heard by Ahsan, this kind of trading will continue until the mountain god festival, that is, five days later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
During this time, there will still be many people coming one after another, but after the fifth day, there will be an important sacrifice called the Mountain God Festival, at this time, the city will be closed for three days, and the mountain pass will be banned, during which no foreigners will be allowed to enter the area of the land.
From here, it can be seen that the mountain god sacrifice is very important to the Yu clan, and as for what meaning it contains, Ah Shan and others have not yet known.
After all, in this era, the customs are different from place to place, and even the gods of faith are strange.
After finding a vacant land and settling down, after setting up a tent, and going to bed early, the next morning, Ah Shan and the others had disappeared, except for two people who were left to guard the ox cart and fur, the rest of the people were mixed into the city, and began to collect all kinds of messy information.
Killing Shengren didn't join in the excitement, he walked in the area that had been designated as a temporary trading area by the Chao clan, and looked around with interest.
Perhaps because they were afraid that they would not be able to occupy a good position, some people who came in advance had already set up their things and simply piled them up there, stating that this place had been occupied.
The things revealed are also very monotonous, most of them are some animal skins, and some special products related to food, such as yams excavated from the deep mountains, reddish berries, and some items that have never been seen at all and do not know what they are.
Coming to the man who placed the berries, Kill Shengren pointed to the largest berry and asked the middle-aged man with yellow and thin muscles, "How do you sell this fruit?"
But I don't know if it was a dialect problem, or if the man didn't hear clearly, he blinked his cloudy eyes and stared at Kill Shengren in a daze.
"Fruit ......" Kill Shengren knocked on the bamboo basket, the man reacted, stood up a little excitedly, rubbed his hands and asked, "That ...... You want to change this fruit?"
"Change?" Kill Shengren blinked, then "oh", nodded and said.."Yes, how do you change this fruit?"
Hearing him say this, the man was even more excited, after all, the value of the fruit is not high, even if he wants to exchange a little food, it is not enough, but he didn't expect that luck came today and he ran into a big wrong.
"I—I want to change the ...... for something to eat," the man trembled and stretched out two fingers, and then gestured.."Just two such big chaos, you can take them!"
"Two Chaos?" said Killing, a benevolent surprise.
This chaos should be something similar to a sweet potato, he has tasted it, and it doesn't taste very good, but it is easy to fill his stomach.
Smiling slightly, Kill Shengren took out a palm-sized cloth bag, shook it slightly, and there was a sparse crashing sound inside, he opened the cloth bag, revealing a few silver metal pieces..."There is no food, but with this, you can exchange it with people for food, enough for you to eat for a year." ”
These pieces of metal should be silver ingots to be exact, but they are just as important in such places where they cannot be used directly as currency.
Because in any tribe, metal is a controlled product, which is a relatively scarce strategic resource, and the replacement of grain with metal blocks naturally has a large number of people agreeing to replace it.
However, this middle-aged man didn't seem to know this, seeing that this heavy piece of metal could not be eaten, and he could not replace life and death with killing and killing, this stubborn energy made him laugh out loud.
In fact, he didn't come to amuse the middle-aged man, but found a mountain treasure in these berries.
This mountain treasure is no different from a berry, even ordinary cultivators may not necessarily see anything, and middle-aged people are just ordinary people, so they are naturally ignorant.
However, this thing was of no use to him, it was just a matter of interest, so the middle-aged man didn't allow it, and he didn't bother to grind it.
In this way, he was about to turn around and leave, but a crisp voice came from the side: "You berries, I want it-"
Hearing this voice, Kill Shengren was slightly stunned, and when he turned to look over, he saw a young girl standing aside.
The girl's lips were red and her teeth were white, her eyes were looking forward to it, her upper body was wearing sleeveless shoulders, revealing a small arm, and a leather skirt underneath, revealing her slender legs.
Seeing that Kill Shengren glanced at her, the girl raised her head slightly, her bright eyes slanted at him, and then looked at the short knife with exquisite patterns in her hand, and turned a knife flower slightly.."What you don't want, I'll replace it with him, no problem, right?"
That pretended to be deep made Kill Shengren couldn't help but smile.."Well, of course it's no problem, you feel free." ”
His indifferent appearance made the girl stunned, but as if she had thought of something, she squinted her eyes and showed a cold gaze: "Are you laughing at me?"
"Laughing at you?" Kill Shengren blinked, then suddenly realized "oh", and said with a very serious expression, "Well, that's right, girl, I did laugh at you!"
"You ......" The girl frowned when she heard this, and the two men behind her also reached out and touched the back, and they were a little eager to try.
With a smile on his lips, he stood there with his hands in his hands, as if he had said that you would let the horse come.
In the face of this provocation, the girl blinked and nodded.."Oh, I see, well, I just wanted to confirm, now that it's done, you can go." ”
Clapping her hands gently, she pointed to the basket of berries and said to a man next to her, "Take the things back, and give him a basket of chaos by the way." ”
"Understood. The man nodded slightly, then glanced at Kill Shengren, and pulled the middle-aged man out of here.
After a thoughtful glance, Kill Shengren stopped paying attention to them, and turned and walked forward.
But it didn't take long for him to frown slightly.
Because the girl had been following him, staring at him unabashedly.
Glancing back, the girl looked at each other as well, and Kill Shengren shook his head and smiled, and continued to walk forward.
As he passed below the cliff, he noticed a group of people gathered around him, as if they were talking about something, and vaguely words such as "stone" and "glow" came to him.
Seeing that it was still early, Kill Shengren was not in a hurry to go back, he squeezed towards the crowd, and the girl behind him saw it, and hesitated slightly, but still whispered something to the man next to him, and the man nodded and squeezed inside.
Surrounded by the crowd were three young children, and in front of them lay a cobblestone the size of a washbasin, which looked fine and had many small holes.
At this time, a man took an animal skin and put it on top of the cobblestone, slightly blocking some of the light, and after the light was blocked, the cobblestone shone slightly, revealing a hazy light.
This phenomenon caused a burst of exclamation, and the sound of gossip and gossip also sounded slightly.
When the man saw this, he glanced at the indifferent Killing Generation, then turned and squeezed out, came to the girl's side and whispered.
The girl frowned, thought for a while, and motioned for the man to accompany her in.
The man easily squeezed out a passage with the appearance of a tall man, and although the people around him frowned secretly, when they glanced at the short knife in the girl's hand, their faces changed, and they closed their mouths in a daze.
Carrying weapons is prohibited in the city, and this girl can play with a short knife unscrupulously, and her ability can explain the problem.
The girl ignored the complicated eyes of the crowd, but walked straight to the cobblestone, crouched down and observed for a while, and then stretched out her slender fingers and pressed it.
The three children looked at the girl a little awkwardly, but did not say anything to stop her.
After a few more moments, the girl nodded, stood up and clapped her hands, and asked, "How do you change things?"
One of the older boys blinked his dark eyes and said timidly, "We, we don't want food, we want medicine, the kind that can grow legs!"
"Legs?"
Hearing the boy say this, the crowd erupted in laughter.
The medicine that can grow legs is almost in the category of miracle medicine, not to mention that everyone has never seen it, and they have never even heard of this medicine, especially when it comes out of a child's mouth, it makes people laugh.
When the boy saw everyone laughing, his face turned red suddenly, and he shouted with all his might, "What a laugh, this treasure is something that fell from the sky, and it is accompanied by heavenly fire, and it is a sacred object used by the gods!"
"Artifacts?" A sturdy man on the side sneered with his arms folded, "Just pick up a stone that can shine and say it's a divine artifact, isn't there a divine artifact everywhere on Qianyuan Mountain?"
That Qianyuan Mountain is a high mountain beyond the land to the south, producing a kind of stone that can shine at night, because it is controlled by another tribe and is controlled as a strategic resource, only the tribe with very few good relations can replace this kind of thing anywhere, this kind of thing, many people have heard of it, so they are a little surprised to see the glowing stone with their own eyes, but they are not too surprised, and naturally they will not believe that this thing is a divine object.
These three children, obviously children from a small tribe, didn't know much about this kind of news, so when they saw everyone laughing, they suddenly became a little anxious......... It's all true, it really fell from the sky, and what fell from the sky wasn't a fetish, what else could it be?"
"There's a problem with what you say......" The corner of the strong man's mouth curled, and he laughed..."I really haven't seen the gods falling from the sky, but I've seen a lot of bird poop falling from the sky!"
"Hahahaha-"
The crowd burst into laughter again, and even caught the attention of many people around them.
Seeing that there were more and more people gathered, and some of them were still pointing and looking at this place, the boy's face was flushed, and he couldn't help but shout angrily.."If you don't plan to change, don't gather around us-"
The stout man seemed to be addicted, and still laughed at the boy.."It's not your house, why don't you let us be here?"
The people around also began to coax, and the angry boy gritted his teeth, and even his eyes turned red.
Glancing back, the younger brother and sister behind him also lowered their heads, which made the boy's blood surge even more.
He shouted angrily, and then stooped down to hold the stone, which, perhaps because of his little strength, did not move, and the boy blushed, and the crowd burst into laughter.
Glaring at everyone fiercely, the boy glanced back at his brother, who was as thin as a withered monkey.
"Brother, I'll come. The younger brother, who was as thin as a hemp rod, stood up, stretched out a pair of withered hands, and easily lifted the stone.
"Wait a minute......"
At this time, the girl, who had never spoken, opened her mouth and stopped the three children from leaving.
That Ah Si looked at Brother, put down the round stone at his signal, the stone fell to the ground, made a muffled sound of "clang", and smashed the ground into a big pit, everyone was slightly stunned when they saw it, and they were a little surprised by the weight of the stone, at this time, they guessed that the thin child was born with divine power!
"You, do you really want to change?" the little boy asked the girl with sparkling eyes, not noticing the eyes of the crowd.
"Why do you have to change the medicine that grows legs?" the girl asked, looking at the skinny child, meaningfully.
"Because ......" The little boy's tears rolled in his eyes, but he glanced at his face, gritted his teeth, and tried not to let the tears flow.........
"That's right......" the girl blinked, and asked casually, "Then how do you know that you can get this medicine in the market?"
"We, overheard ......," the little boy said in a heeling voice.
"Overheard?" the girl's heart moved, and then she squinted at him like a knife.
"From ......," the little boy suddenly reacted, and said pretending to be fierce, "What's the matter with you?
Seeing the appearance of the little boy, the girl pursed her lips expressionlessly, and then slowly pulled out the short knife in her hand, and pointed to the sky: "The Yu girl of the Yue clan is doing business here, and the idle people and so on, immediately dodge away-" The slightly calm words were full of strength, like a cold wind blowing around, all the people who heard this sentence were slightly stunned, and then, it seemed that some people reacted, glanced at the girl in disbelief, and when their eyes fell on the delicate short knife over there, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The crowd was quiet for a moment, and some people immediately left the place, as if they were infected, and in the next few breaths, most of the crowd dispersed, and some of the remaining guys, even if they had not heard of the name of Yu Nu, also reacted at this time, and quickly left this place of right and wrong, but in a moment, the originally noisy area became empty.
