Lu Wei lowered his head, twisted a straw back and forth with his slender fingers, and when he heard the old man's words, he sneered in his heart, the bandits must not be caught, there is nothing that they have done, and they have done it very true, and there will be ghosts if they can catch it. Zhou Kui took people into the mountain, and eighty percent of them went for her and the fat man. What is the reason why the Zhou family is so persevering, even the two who missed the net are so unsparing?

Lu Weiwei was full of doubts, chatting with the old man along the way. Towards evening, the old ox cart finally arrived at the city gate.

Anye City, located in the northeastern edge of Ningguo, is built on the mountain, surrounded by green water, and has pleasant scenery. Among all the towns in Ningguo, Anye City can only be regarded as a remote town, the size of three or four villages, and the number of residents in the city is not large. Although it is backed by the Sunset Foggy Mountains, it is quite rich in resources, but due to its remote location and the fact that there is only one official road connecting it to other towns, there are not many caravans willing to come and go here, and even the cultivators who come here to experience it are very few.

Lu Weiwei jumped out of the ox cart and raised his eyes to look at An Ye City, which was close at hand. Not counting the majestic city walls, the walls are covered with green moss, and weeds have grown between the cracks in the masonry. When her gaze swept to the city gate, she frowned slightly.

The old man followed her line of sight and saw that the guards guarding the door were inquiring and interrogating, and he knew it in his heart. During the small talk along the way, he learned that these two children didn't know anything, and they were lonely, so he kindly reminded: "In order to catch the bandits, now the city gate is more strictly checked than before, and you two will follow me after a while, don't say anything, do you know?"

Lu Wei nodded obediently, and did not shirk the old man's kindness.

The old man drove the ox cart and slowly moved forward with the people waiting in line to enter the city.

There were not many people entering the city at this time, and it didn't take the turn of the old man after a while. He handed the guard five copper coins, and drove to the city gate.

"Wait, what about the entrance fees for the two of you?" the city guard asked suddenly.

The old man looked back and saw that the guards were stopping Lu Weiwei and the fat man who were following him and preparing to enter the city together.

He hurriedly walked over, with a smile on his face, "Official, these two children are my grandchildren, and they are entering the city for the first time today, so you can make it convenient." ”

The guard glanced at the old man, then looked Lu Weiwei and the fat man up and down, and said in a businesslike tone: "No." It is a rule that you must pay an entrance fee to enter the city. Don't say it's your grandson, not even your grandfather. ”

The old man rubbed the corners of his clothes in embarrassment, leaned over to the guard and whispered: "Official, you see that they are two and a half old children, can they be spared." ”

"Go, go, go. The guard waved his hand impatiently: "If you have money, you will pay it and go to the city, and if you don't have money, go home." Again, be careful, and arrest you as accomplices of bandits. ”

Lu Wei looked at the domineering guards guarding the city, his brows furrowed, and at the same time, he sighed helplessly. She has a lot of valuable things on her, not to mention the treasures left by the master, even if she takes out any pill she refines, it is enough for everyone here to pay for entering the city. But she doesn't even have a copper plate in her pocket, which is really a hero who is hard to beat for a penny.

She thought about it, took out a first-class elixir from the cloth pocket she made temporarily before going down the mountain, secretly twisted a leaf, walked up to the guard and handed it to him, "We don't have that much money, this is picked on the mountain." I was going to go into the city to see if I could exchange money, but now I can use it to pay for the city?"

When the guard saw the first-level elixir, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, but there was a disgusted expression on his face, "Okay, although it is a rotten elixir, it is barely worth the entrance fee of the three of you to the city, let's go." Remember, it's not an example. ”

After speaking, he quickly put the elixir into his arms, and there was a hint of joy on his face. The first-level elixir, although the leaves are a little damaged, can be exchanged for three or four taels of silver when taken to the pharmacy. Today is really a big profit, and the wine money in the past few days can be regarded as a fall.

Lu Wei watched his movements and glanced at his mouth secretly. This person is really embarrassed to say that it is barely worth the entrance fee to the city, but they really don't know how much money a first-class elixir can be exchanged for.

Seeing that Lu Wei took out the elixir to solve the matter, the old man snorted and didn't say anything. beckoned the two to follow him, did not dare to linger longer, and hurried through the city gate into the city.

After walking along the bluestone road into the city for a while, Lu Weiwei shouted at the entrance of an alley to stop the old man. Let the fat man look at the ox cart, and pull the old man into the alley.

After looking at the people around, Lu Weiwei took out two more first-level elixirs from his cloth pocket and stuffed them into the old man's hands.

"Girl, what are you?" The old man looked at the elixir in his hand, a little confused.

Lu Wei smiled and said, "Uncle, thank you for helping us today." You can exchange these two elixirs for some money to supplement your family. ”

"What are you doing, kid? It's just a little thing. Besides, I didn't help you much, and you still exchanged the money for going to the city with the elixir yourself. I can't ask for this, you can take it back. The old man made a gesture to return what he had in his hand to her.

Lu Weiwei stopped him from moving, so that he could accept the two elixirs.

Walking out of the alley, on the bluestone road, the old man drove the ox cart and left leisurely. From time to time, he looked back at the two gratefully, and shouted words telling the two to pay attention to safety.

"Fat man, do you know where you can sell pills?" After the ox cart turned a corner and was completely out of sight, Lu Wei looked sideways at the fat man and asked.

"You know, you can sell pills in the Tianzhen Pavilion. Not only can you buy and sell pills, but you can also buy other valuable things. "The fat man has followed his father to Anye City once or twice, so he is naturally familiar with this place.

Lu Wei thought for a while and asked, "Then do you know where the ordinary pharmacy is?"

"Yes, go straight from here, and then turn right a short distance away is a pharmacy, and my father and I go to his house every time we change the elixir. The fat man nodded, and asked her a little puzzled: "Only, are you going to change the elixir first?"

"Hmm. Lu Wei affirmed his idea and nodded: "First use the elixir to exchange some money to buy a few clothes, and then find an inn to live in." There is no hurry to take revenge, let's inquire about the situation of the Zhou family in the past few days. "She is not in a hurry to exchange the pill for money, because the name Tianzhen Pavilion sounds lofty. The two of them looked like they were coming out of the countryside and mountain villages, and if they directly exchanged the pills for money, it is estimated that they would be kicked out by others as poor sour as soon as they arrived at the door.

Following the route described by the fat man, the two found the pharmacy.

Lu Wei took out two second-level elixirs, and five first-grade elixirs were placed on the counter. The proprietor of the pharmacy was not bad, although he saw that it was two children who came to exchange the elixir, he did not deduct the money for the exchange of the elixir, and calculated a total of one hundred and twenty-five taels of silver in a small cloth bag and handed it to them.
