Chapter 100: Star Rotten Root (Hundred Chapters Scattering Flowers~~)
The heaviest time of the day in Elysium is dawn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The rich breath was pale yellow like the wind and sand, floating in the air and wandering, as if there were thousands of frightened faces looming in the clouds.
A young man wearing a animal skin mask and carrying a wooden box on his waist woke up early in the morning, jumped onto the roof, looked at the helm of the Black Fox Gang, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, and entered the street of Elysium alone.
The morning in Elysium is exceptionally cold, and there is always a cloudy wind that blows on people's faces like a knife, and it is hard to imagine that it is almost summer.
There will be people on the streets who get up early to sweep and collect the bodies of those who have died on the streets, day after day, there is always a reward.
It is an industrious city, and from the moment the gates are opened, there will be a flood of vendors pouring into the city, occupying various vantage points in the city, and fighting for a lively stall for themselves.
It is also a simple city, where the fists are used to interpret the supremacy of violence, even the vendors need to have some skills to set up stalls in the better places in the city to sell their goods, and the weak have to huddle in the corners, praying in the most inconspicuous places that someone will patronize their stalls.
The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the city of Bliss that has just dawned is undoubtedly the most chaotic moment, Yunshu is walking on the street wearing a mask, and most of the people he sees are greeting each other with their fists, if the fight is a friendly expression, then the people on this street deserve the words "love each other".
Glancing at the side of the road, a wooden flat pole connects the two baskets together, giving it a simple and intimate feeling.
The owner of the basket was a middle-aged man with thick limbs and a hideous scar on his face that stretched from the corner of his mouth to the root of his ear, which was extremely terrifying. By this time, the man had already defeated three vendors who were competing with him for territory, and confirmed his position as the king of land.
Rubbing the corners of his mouth that was hurt, the man smiled at Yun Shu and shouted politely, "Friend, buy some herbs so early?"
Judging from Yunshu's judgment, most of the people on this street are medicine farmers who sell medicines, who spend a lot of time in the mountains looking for medicinal materials, and occasionally come to the city to set up stalls to sell.
Looking at the man in front of him who had just fought for the land, and at this time he was as relaxed as enjoying breakfast time, Yun Shu was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "Show me what treasures you have." ”
The man agreed, and immediately opened the woven bamboo lid of the basket, and suddenly a medicinal fragrance came to his face, making Yunshu feel a little intoxicated from the bottom of his heart.
The medicine in these two baskets was very fresh, and some even had roots and soil attached to them, apparently not more than a day after they were picked.
The vendor glanced at the wooden box on Yunshu's waist, and said with a big grin: "I don't play with you either, all prices are sold to you at market prices, Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao, buy more, I can also give you cheaper, these two baskets are sold out early, I can still hurry home and hug my big fat son, otherwise in a few days, I will have to go into the mountains with the team to collect medicine." ”
Yunshu probably guessed that the other party saw that he was carrying a wooden box on his waist, thinking that Yunshu was a doctor, and when Yunshu often dealt with medicinal materials, he was too lazy to slaughter a "connoisseur" like Yunshu. After all, most of the people who sell medicine sell their medicine to doctors, and those who practice medicine are the parents of these people.
Therefore, most of these people who collect medicine are relatively angry with the doctors.
Yun Shu was naturally not stupid enough to puncture this misunderstanding, he just smiled, pretended to be an expert at the man who sold medicine, and asked nonsensibly: "I have already purchased most of the medicinal materials, so I will not buy those that are often seen on the market, just to see if you have found some uncommon medicinal materials, maybe there are what I need." ”
The vendor rubbed his head, as if he was thinking, and soon his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I'll show you here." ”
Saying that, the vendor rummaged hard from the depths of the basket, and finally found a wooden box, and gently placed it in Yunshu's hand, he was not afraid that Yunshu would run away with something, after all, this place was full of city defenders, shouting slightly, this kind of robbery in broad daylight is still managed.
The starting point is a light box, made of wood, with a layer of cotton cloth on the outside, which looks particularly delicate. This seemed to be incompatible with the basket or something, Yun Shu frowned, and gently opened the box.
Suddenly, a dazzling breath rose out of the wooden box, straight towards Yunshu, and smoked out two lines of tears.
When the man saw this, he laughed as if he had succeeded in his treacherous plan.
"Star rot root?" Yun Shu was stunned for a moment, and quickly searched for a poisonous prescription for this herb in his heart.
The man obviously didn't expect Yunshu to recognize this thing so quickly, he smiled, rubbed his chin and said: "Sure enough, it's an expert, this thing is not common, I was happy for a while when I first found it, but then I thought about it, this thing seems to be not easy to sell, after all, it contains toxicity, although it is rare but there is no market." ”
The cloud writing did not change color, or rather, even if he made any expression, it would be obscured by the mask, and he silently closed the wooden box and put the wooden box back into the basket.
Seeing this, the man seemed to know that this thing could not be sold for a while, and he was not in a hurry, waved his hand, took out a water bag from his arms, and poured himself a mouthful.
I thought that the masked customer in front of me would leave, but who expected that this person was not in a hurry to leave, but stood there with great interest, looking at the stall owner carefully.
The stall owner was in a fog, touched his face, and then rubbed it vigorously, and finally panicked, and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
Yun Shu smiled and said, "How can this thing be sold?"
"Huh?" The stall owner felt that there was a play, and immediately offered a cheerful offer: "Fifty taels of silver, sell it to you!"
Yunshu calculated, these fifty taels are really not expensive, because after all, this thing is far more than this price in terms of rarity, just because there are not many people who buy it, so the price is inexplicably reduced, which is considered to be cheaper Yunshu.
It's a pity that the little silver in Yunshu's arms is less than fifty taels, and he can't afford it at all.
Knowing that he was shy in his pocket, Yunshu still said indifferently: "Is there any other way to buy this?"
Hearing this, the stall owner immediately learned that Yunshu didn't have enough money, and he wouldn't be a villain enough to deliberately laugh at the other party for being a poor ghost.
It is true that practicing medicine is really popular in the city, after all, so many people fight every day in Elysium City, and so many wounded people need treatment every day, but there are more wounded soldiers, and there are more doctors, and there are many gangs that have designated doctors for medical treatment, and some small characters are difficult to make a lot of money.
Glancing at Yunshu's strange animal skin mask, the stall owner grinned: "That's it, this friend, since you are the first guest I met today, it can be regarded as you and I are destined, this star rotten root, forty taels sold you." ”
Obviously, this person has the intention of making a friend, but helplessly, Yunshu does not have much money on him, and he bought a lot of medicinal materials for refining poison when he was in Hongcheng, and at this time his pocket is empty, let alone forty taels, I am afraid that even twenty taels will be difficult to get together.
Smiled wryly and responded to the vendor: "How long will you still be setting up a stall here?"
"Haha, these two baskets of medicines, they will leave when they are sold out, according to the previous speed, they will not have a chance until noon at the earliest, and they may not be sold out at night. ”
Nodding, Yunshu responded: "Then I'll come back later, can you keep this thing for me?"
"Friend, this is the Elysium, where will there be people and money that can't get by? If no one buys it before you come, then this thing will definitely sell you for forty taels. And if someone comes to buy it halfway, I will bid sixty taels, if they are too expensive, I will not sell, but if they are generous, hehe, sorry friend, I still have to support my family. ”
Understand the intention of the stall owner, in fact, as long as you think about it carefully, you can know that this stall owner has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and everyone wants to beg for a living.
Yunshu nodded again, and had to say, "Okay, I'll go raise money." ”
