Chapter 168: Workmanship
Long Yuan came out to practice, most of the time in the mountains and forests to collect fruits for the purpose of hunger, after a long time, he also missed the time when he was a child. However, he has a big appetite, and he has always been hungry, and he ate roasted tiger meat some time ago, and the tiger leg in his stomach seems to have become a gluttony to live in his stomach, which makes Long Yuan have the desire to eat meat from time to time.
Looking at the wild pheasant fluttering in front of him, Long Yuan felt that his saliva was about to drip down.
"Chicken, chicken, don't blame you, you're a dish of Hades. ”
Swish!
Fingernails scratched the necks of several pheasants, and these pheasants went to the Yama Hall together. After some cleaning up, Long Yuan caught fire, skewered a few pheasants on the branches, and made a fire to barbecue.
"It is estimated that the killers of the Kui Wolf Sect should not be able to find my trace in a short time, so take advantage of this time to inquire about the clues about the Treasure Book of Mountains and Seas, and at the same time practice the Dancing Void Technique from scratch. Long Yuan muttered to himself.
Half an hour later, the barbecue was finished, but it didn't take long for the last of these fragrant roast pheasants to remain.
Long Yuan didn't eat enough, even if the last one had a stomach, he couldn't eat enough.
Just as Long Yuan was melancholy for eating, there was a noise and the sound of rolling cars in the distance, and at the same time, there were cries for help.
Now that Long Yuan's heart has been opened, and he has experienced a fugitive life, he is very sensitive to wind and grass, and these subtle sounds naturally cannot escape his detection.
Long Yuan grabbed the roast chicken in his hand, and a few people approached the source of the sound.
A group of strong men were chasing several carriages on horseback. This line of strong men held steel knives in their hands, and their faces were hateful, and at a glance they knew that they were horse thieves in the mountains. Long Yuan saw that although those horse thieves were strong, they didn't look like martial artists, so he felt that there should be no threat.
"Just to help the owner of the horse chase away these horse thieves, it makes sense that he should have invited me to a meal. Long Yuan said in his heart.
Whoa!
Long Yuan grabbed a few stones and threw them out, and several horse thieves fell. Another one took off, and he flew a few feet and kicked the horse thieves off his horse.
When the thieves saw that there was a master, they mounted their horses and turned and fled.
Long Yuan was just about to chase after those carriages, and the roast pheasant in his hand was naturally brought to his mouth. Suddenly, he felt empty in his hands, and the roasted pheasant was caught by an eagle.
"Damn, you dare to take food from me. Long Yuan jumped up and chased after the eagle using the Sky Dance Technique.
When the eagle saw that a person had actually flown up, he hurriedly flapped his wings and accelerated. Seeing that Long Yuan was about to catch up with the eagle, the latter's claws loosened, and the roast chicken fell.
Long Yuan only cared about catching the roast pheasant, ignored the eagle that flew away, and chased straight after the falling roast chicken.
"Ahh
The eagle seemed unwilling to lose the food in its mouth, and sprinkled a bubble of bird droppings in the air.
"Damn!" Long Yuan looked up when he heard the sound, and the bird poop almost fell on his head, and he dodged in mid-air.
And the roast pheasant also fell, and Long Yuan looked down, and the roast chicken actually landed in the driving carriage.
Long Yuan didn't think much about it, and a dive also landed in the carriage. Inside the carriage were some cloths. Long Yuan saw that there was no trace of the roast chicken in the carriage, so he rummaged around in the carriage before he caught the roast chicken in his hand again.
"Look where you're going. Long Yuan tore off a piece of chicken and ate it freely.
"Phew. ”
A coachman felt that the carriage was suddenly much heavier, and the body of the carriage creaked, and when he saw that the horse thief behind him had stopped moving, he reined in his horse and stopped.
Long Yuan in the car didn't know what was going on outside the car, and as soon as the carriage stopped suddenly, he crashed into the front of the carriage.
Bang!
Because Long Yuan was carrying a ruler on his back, as soon as the carriage stopped, the front door of the carriage was suddenly smashed by him, and all the cloth inside fell down.
"Who are you?" said the coachman, when he saw a man fall from the car.
At this time, the driver of the rest of the carriage and the people in the carriage also got out of the carriage, and the group was stunned when they saw a stranger breaking out of the carriage.
Long Yuan's hands were full of oiliness at this time, the corners of his mouth were still sticky with the greasy of pheasants, and he was holding a roast chicken in his hand, looking quite embarrassed. There were also a few girls in the group, and when they saw that Long Yuan was good-looking, but he was in this outfit, they all laughed.
"Ah! These silks are covered with mud and oil. This...... This...... What can I do?" a man who looked like a butler cried out when he saw that the cloth was covered with footprints and grease stains.
"These silks are five gold coins each, you ...... You pay. The butler pointed to Long Yuan and said.
"Five gold coins a horse?" Long Yuan's eyes widened when he heard the butler's words, this was a sky-high price for him, and now he didn't have a penny on him.
"I didn't know it was so expensive. By the way, I ran away from those horse thieves just now, so I don't have to pay for them. Long Yuan hurriedly explained.
"No way, how can you beat so many horse thieves by yourself at such a young age. The butler said.
"I am a disciple of the Martial Sect. Long Yuan said. He didn't want to be dragged to the official because of such a thing, it would be too embarrassing.
Everyone was startled, and they exchanged their heads with each other and looked at Long Yuan again.
The disciples of the martial arts have a good influence in the world, and if the children of any family can enter the martial arts sect to practice, they will be envied by the neighbors.
The housekeeper was also stunned when he heard Long Yuan's words, and muttered in his heart: "I didn't listen to the advice of a few coachmen on the route back to the city this time, and I took this road because I was greedy, but I didn't expect to meet a horse thief." Now the horse thief is gone, but half of the cloth is destroyed. If Mrs. knows about this, I'm afraid I'll be gone. ”
The housekeeper looked at Long Yuan and rolled his eyes. I want to see that this kid is not very old, but he is sloppy, most of the disciples of the martial arts sect are imposing, this kid is estimated to be an unsuccessful disciple of a small sect, it is better to throw this black pot to him.
"Which sect are you a disciple of? If it is really the horse thief you ran away, I will ask our wife to send some small gifts to your sect as a token of gratitude. ”
Long Yuan saw that this housekeeper's eyes were erratic when he spoke, so he kept a heartfelt eye, and said in his heart: "Let's not say whether he gives gifts or not, in case Uncle Shi knows that I have ruined the goods of civilian merchants for the sake of roast chicken, he will have to strip me." This housekeeper looked at himself with a demon, and it was better not to reveal his identity. ”
"I've been practicing with others for a few years, and I'm not a fancy school. Long Yuan said.
The housekeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't look for you to carry the black pot. Then his face turned angry, and he pointed at Long Yuan and said: "You kid is really hateful, you don't admit that you damaged our goods, and you also pull the tiger skin and say that you are a martial arts disciple, and you are not ashamed to talk big." Someone, tie me up and take it back to my wife. If he dared to resist, he would take him to the officer. ”
"Yes!" Several servant-looking youths came over with ropes and tied up Long Yuan.
Long Yuan didn't resist, he was worried that he couldn't find something to eat, and now he had some plans in his heart. The family to which the carriage and horse belonged looked like a big family. If you find an errand in it and have a place to go, you can also inquire about the legend of the mountain and sea treasure book.
Although the master told him that the treasure book might appear in the area of Queshan Mountain, this range was too large, and if he didn't collect more clues, he would just look for a needle in a haystack and find a needle in a big river.
After walking for an hour, the group came to a city gate, and above the city gate was engraved several big characters "Yiqing City".
After entering the city, the chariot and horse entered the house of a family who seemed to be quite wealthy, and the courtyard was framed and the building was very magnificent.
Long Yuan was thrown into the firewood room of this family by the servants, and he didn't see the so-called lady.
Early the next morning, someone untied Long Yuan.
"Are you new here?" a man dressed as a foreman came to the firewood room and asked Long Yuan.
"Have you anything to eat, I'm hungry. Long Yuan said.
"Work first and then eat, as long as you can work, you will have enough to eat. The foreman said.
"Then I'm new here. ”
"Go, I'll take you to the place where you work. The foreman said.
Long Yuan put the ruler in the corner of the firewood, anyway, the ruler was extremely heavy, and he didn't worry about losing it. He was taken by the foreman to a construction site filled with dye vats. Bamboo poles lay across the dye vat, and the bamboo poles were covered with cloth to dry. Hundreds of workers are gathered here, and the workers are working and sweating like rain.
"From now on, you will work here, don't think about being lazy, or you won't be able to pay off your debts for the rest of your life. Madame is kind, I didn't let the butler break your legs, you have to know about Entu, you know?" said the foreman.
"Got it. Long Yuan nodded.
"If you have a lot of strength, you will pour dyes, and if you have a lot of strength, you will build a cloth. Do whatever you can, and the more you work, the more you will be paid. The foreman gave the order and left.
Long Yuan saw that there were at least hundreds of workers here, most of whom were strong men, and there were also some half-aged people in their forties and fifties.
"Anyway, there are few people wandering outside, and I can't ask for any clues, so I might as well stay here and see if I can find some clues or legends about the treasure book. Long Yuan muttered.
Although Yiqing City is far less large than Yueyang City, the layout of the city is very similar to that of Yueyang City, and this is also the first time that Long Yuan has encountered a city near the ancient mountain.
Long Yuan has been out for a year and a half, and he misses that Yueyang City very much, which is why he wants to stay here.
After picking a flat pole, Long Yuan picked up water from the dye pool and poured it into the dye vat. Looking around, he walked over to a strong man.
"This big brother, do you know the Treasure Book of Mountains and Seas?" asked Long Yuan.
The strong man looked at Long Yuan, frowned, and said, "Who are you, don't delay my work, go and go, go and go." ”
Long Yuan was left to dry like this, and asked two more questions, but no one gave Long Yuan a smile.
"Looks like we're going to have to get along with these people first. Long Yuan pressed his eyebrows.
Since he began to contact people in the world, Long Yuan has learned a lot of knowledge about life, he has been deceived by pits, his clothes have been stolen, and he has also encountered kindness but was complained and hated. Immature teenagers always have to suffer some losses, so that their faces can not be immature.
Long Yuan thought about it and had a way, so he began to work hard.
