Section 40 Chivalrous Companions

After breakfast, Yin Suhong settled the room fee, plus two meals, and the two of them used two taels of silver and fifteen copper coins together.

Li Yuntao couldn't help but feel a little painful when she saw it, while Yin Suhong didn't even blink her eyes, obviously this kind of expense was very common in her opinion.

Taking the salute, the two ran to the town market. Yesterday it was dusk in the city, most of the shops were closed, and the vendors who set up their stalls in the market also dispersed to go home. So it's time to go ahead today to buy the materials you need to use next.

Most of the markets in Baifeng City are villagers from dozens of miles around who come to exchange shopping materials or set up stalls to sell their surplus crops. Many transactions were still carried out in the form of barter, and they also accepted Imperial coins, but the simple peasants tended to have a low valuation of their wares, so what could be bought here was quite cheap when measured only by the value of Imperial coins.

"Come on, come on, take a look, the good cotton cloth woven by my mother-in-law is thick and strong, and I can wear it for several years when I go home to make clothes." A young man with a much more energetic head than the ordinary villagers of Mune stood beside his burden and blushed and shouted, even if the perennial sun gave him a deep bronze skin, it could not hide the color change of his cheeks.

Three horses of undyed beige cloth stood in a basket beside him, and the other basket contained several pairs of cloth boots and some miscellaneous items such as fruits, mushrooms, and herbs picked in the mountains.

"Big brother, how do you sell this cloth?"

"A hoe, a climbing plow, two barrels, shovels, and kitchen knives will also work."

"You want so many horses, but you can't change them."

"Who said that I changed one horse, I mean that these things will be exchanged for three pieces of cloth, and they will all be given to you."

"Then you might as well exchange it for silver and buy it again."

The man looked dazed: "Can you exchange it for silver?" Where to change? ”

"Yo, it's hard to say, sometimes you can see the master come out to collect the cloth in the east of the city, see if you can catch up. Or do you send it to your door? ”

"How much money do you have prepared for silver?" Another asked.

“...... Or? It couldn't be less. A hoe smithy sells for seventy dollars. ”

"Where's the shoe?"

"You look at it, why don't you have fifteen dollars, my mother-in-law and aunt will work hard for five or six days to make a pair."

"Your mother-in-law is really capable, she is a good mother-in-law."

"That is, my family takes care of the baby at home, tending to the livestock during the day, feeding the chickens, weaving cloth by the way, making shoes, cooking vegetables and steaming buns in the evening, and I can eat hot food when I go home." The man grabbed his head and smiled proudly.

"Then you have to treat your mother-in-law well."

"It's not, this time I've changed enough things to have leftovers, and I'm going to buy her a bronze mirror to go back, and the one at home that let the baby fall to the ground has been spent."

"Then you don't need to buy a new one, you can bring it over next time to repair it for the bronze mirror master, more than a dozen Wen, brighter than new, but the water is smart."

Li Yuntao looked at the cloth, the line is fine, the thickness is also good, it is still cotton cloth, only one or two silver, it is really cheap. You must know that this is in Xiaoji Town, and it can be sold for at least five taels.

And the cloth boots with fine and strong stitches, except that the upper is not as beautiful as the finished product of the store, can hardly find any fault, only fifteen coppers. He clearly remembered that the same cloth boots in the ready-to-wear shop in Xiaoji Town cost thirty-five yuan.

But even if it is so cheap, the sales of cloth boots are not very good, because most of the villagers who come here to buy and sell are cheap and durable straw sandals, five copper coins can buy two pairs, if it is three pairs, only seven copper coins. Ten copper coins can buy a matchless, enough for a dealer to wear Chinese characters for a year.

At the moment when this man was talking to the villager who was asking the price, the old man who was selling straw sandals and bamboo baskets next to him had already sold seven or eight pairs of straw sandals.

"This little brother, how do you sell this mushroom fruit?" Yin Hongsu looked at the fruits and other miscellaneous items in the young man's basket and hesitated for a moment, then asked.

Yin Hongsu's figure was vividly displayed by a strong suit, although a pretty face was too heroic due to her own temperament, but she couldn't hide the beautiful color, as soon as she opened her mouth to ask, the red on the man's face was raised a few shades.

“... Woman..., you just look at it and give it a point, it's all picked by the way when you go up the mountain to chop wood, it's worthless. After holding it for a long time, the man said weakly.

"Heh~ By the way, this good thing can't be picked up by the way, I'm afraid it's not a little bit of a walk on the edge of the cliff." Yin Hongsu squatted down, and the legging trousers hidden under the placket were rounded by the plump buttocks.

She reached out and picked out a few of the dried mushrooms and fruits.

"This is your fate, but I can't say anything, I still understand the truth that wealth is not exposed, so I don't want to give it to you more, so as not to invite trouble. In this way, these things will be counted as a tael of silver for you. A tael of silver should not attract disaster, and then you take this and hang it in a dry place near the fire at home, which can help you drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters. ”

He took out the money bag from his bosom, took out a small silver ingot cast by the government, and took out a small talisman under the cloak, and handed the two things to the man in one hand.

"One or two silver, so much. No need, no need, woman, it's too much. The man shook his hand and didn't dare to take it.

"If you take it, you can take it, there is so much, do you want everyone else to see and worry about finding a thief?" Yin Hongsu grabbed the man's wrist and stuffed the silver ingots and talisman into his hand without giving him a chance to struggle.

The man is also a sturdy guy with strength, under Yin Hongsu's seemingly white and tender hands, he is missing as if he is being restrained by iron tongs, let his face grin, but the pinched arm does not move a bit.

The woman in front of her looked much more tender than herself, and she was fair-skinned and beautiful, but she didn't expect that her little hand was not only strong, but after the calloused crust on her hand was pinched tightly, she struggled a little and grinded it painfully, obviously a real practitioner.

The man didn't struggle anymore, and quickly held the two things in his palm and hid them.

"That's right, you deserve it, don't feel embarrassed, I'll tell you the truth, this money is actually nothing, the real value here is the talisman, you have to go to the City God Temple to ask for it, there is no two taels of gold can not be obtained." Yin Hongsu saw that he had accepted it, so he let go of the left hand of the hoop master and his wrist, and explained the benefits and disadvantages in the way of sound transmission.

The man got the property, held it in the palm of his hand, listened to what she said, and felt a little unreal, as if he had a dream in broad daylight.

Talismans worth two taels of gold, my mother-in-law has long been like going to the temple to ask for a talisman, but those talismans in the temple, it is said that only one or two gold or more are effective, and the effect of ordinary amulets is naturally very different, which is a fact that the neighbors and towns know, but they dare not say it on the surface.

The man took a breath, quickly hid the silver ingot and talisman in the inner pocket of the inner coat in Jin's arms, and then looked up to see that the woman in red had disappeared into the crowd with the young man who followed him.

"I earned it this time, this wind mushroom is the main ingredient for the production of medium-grade wind system spirit ink, and it is only born on the cliff with a strong mountain wind in the shade, and the general medicine picker needs to fight for his life in order to pick it. But it's worth the money, this wind mushroom is worth a gold in weight, don't look at this little air-dried mushroom, how can it almost weigh seven dollars.

What's more, these two fruits are for you to eat, peel off the skin and eat the seeds inside, although the flesh of this fruit is delicious, but the real value is this kind of seed, that is, the taste is bitter, chewed when eating, the more broken the better. Yin Hongsu threw the two red mountain fruits the size of hawthorn in his hand in two turns up and down, and then threw them to Li Yuntao who followed beside him.

"Master, what kind of fruit is this?" Li Yuntao turned out to be a red mountain fruit, thinking that it was a common vermilion fruit in the novel.

"Floating clouds are red, like the sun, often born on the south slope of the top of the mountain cliff, only to see the sunrise red glow and the sunset sunset, some people often confuse it with Zhu Guo, but the two are far from the medicinal effect. The biggest effect of this floating cloud red is to boost qi and blood, nourish essence, and the medicinal properties are mild. Even without excipients, it can be used as a medicine to assist in cultivation in the qi and blood realm.

Gray spots will grow around the ordinary floating cloud red fruit pedicle, and after ten years, it will turn from gray to silver, and there are seven silver stars around these two fruit stalks, and it has been in the heat for seventy years, if it is allowed to pass another thirty years, it will be able to advance to the spirit fruit. At that time, the effect of the medicine would have been better, but unfortunately he took it off now, and he couldn't take it back. It's better to eat. ”

Li Yuntao took the fruit and looked at it carefully, and there were indeed seven small silver star spots around the fruit.

"Master's promotion of the Spirit Fruit after a hundred years, what will happen to it?"

"This is the disadvantage that you don't learn enough, you just don't know these basics, I can only tell you a little bit. In addition to the nine silver stars that have been born in a hundred years, the floating cloud red will regenerate a gold star, and then regenerate a silver star every ten years, and one of the silver stars will be turned into a gold star in the first hundred years, and after a thousand years, the whole fruit will be replaced by silver, and only a circle of gold stars will be born at the fruit pedicle, and then the fruit will bloom on its own, and it seems that the sun rises in the east from a distance. This is the origin of its name, Fuyun Hong. Yin Hongsu sighed and shook her head.

"There really is a thousand-year-old elixir in this world." Li Yuntao asked.

"Naturally, there are, in the hinterland of the mountains that are inaccessible, or in the private medicine gardens of famous families with a long heritage.

"It's just that where is the elixir, the thousand-year-old Fuyunhong has been cultivated and become extraordinary, if you open the spiritual wisdom, it will turn into a spirit, even if the spiritual wisdom is not opened, it can not be used as medicine casually, what is the effect of it, our alchemy classics of the Imperial Sword Sect are not. After all, the effect of the medicine was too strong, and it would definitely not be used by disciples in the Qi cultivation period to improve the cultivation of the Qi and Blood Realm. In fact, even if the sect is willing to do it, that disciple has to bear it, only one seed, I am afraid that it will not directly support that disciple to explode and die. ”

"By the way, you can't eat the pulp when you eat it, and if you eat the pulp and chew the seeds, the effect of the medicine will be negated. One seed a day, it is best to take it at night before meditating and practicing, in fact, it is okay to eat it usually, as long as you don't encounter a fight, the consumption of digesting the medicinal properties of the seed will not affect normal action. ”

There are also several herbs that are only said to be excipients for making spiritual ink, but they will not be elaborated on their exact effects and effects.

It was 9 o'clock in the morning, the flow of people in the market began to increase, the smell of sweat, body odor, animal body odor, feces and urine on the people was steaming and diffusing in the sun.

Yin Hongsu still looks calm. However, in order to take care of Li Yuntao, the two still accelerated their progress. Quickly bought dried meat and dry food, plus several fruits that could withstand storage, and Li Yuntao's cowhide backpack could barely be stuffed.

Yin Hongsu originally considered preparing another war horse for Li Yuntao, but first, there was no war horse to buy and sell in the market, and secondly, he asked the merchant who sold horses, and the price of ordinary war horses was twenty taels of gold.

In the end, I could only buy an ordinary pack horse that looked short in size but was said to have excellent weight and endurance under the recommendation of the merchant.

Connected with accessories such as saddle stirrups, a pack horse also cost three taels of gold, and the small vault of Yin Hongsu instantly shrank by more than half. The gold owner was not distressed, but Li Yuntao, the apprentice, sighed, as if he had spent all his money.

"Lulu doesn't like to carry the opposite sex, even if I forced her before, now I am about to reach the limit, Lulu and I signed an equal partnership contract after all, not a subordinate mount or servant, always take into account her feelings. So this mount is a must-buy. After you build the foundation in the future, it is best to find a monster companion who can ride, so that you can also save a lot of money to buy a mount.

For example, Senior Brother Zhou Shoumo's partner can carry a lot of weight, but this guy is too restless and always likes to fight with the mountain monarch of Liu Qingxue's world. ”

"Oh, Master Zhou's monster companion is that big wild boar, he really takes it seriously." Li Yuntao recalled the big wild boar, and the door of the cafeteria was only big enough for it to stick into one nose. The fangs that protrude from the lips are all higher than the door frame.

With the pack horse, the two of them can carry more salutes, but in fact, most of the increased part is forage, bean feed, and drinking water prepared for the pack horse, and the extra thing they can bring is only a bag of ten catties of fruit. After all, the two of them are in a hurry, not a trip, and if they carry too much weight, the horse can't run.

After strolling around the market, the two of them spent nearly an hour and a half, Yin Hongsu was still a little unsatisfied, she looked up at the sun that was not far from the above: "Look at the time, it's almost noon, I'm afraid I'll have to eat in the city after a while, and when I get out of the city and go on the road, there won't be much time left for rushing today." No, we can't delay it like this. ”

"Let's get out of the city and eat lunch on the way." She said to Li Yuntao as if she was discussing.

"Listen to the master's orders." has a horse of his own, how can Li Yuntao have two words, naturally Yin Hongsu can say anything.

The two led their horses to the city gate, and saw a group of people saying goodbye at the city gate.

"Yin Woman." One of them, a tall and sturdy young man with long and angular, thick eyebrows and eagle eyes, and a bit of masculinity, hugged his fist first, "You really went out of the city today, why don't you take a companion on the road?" ”

The man was dressed in a white cloth shirt covered with a blue shirt, which was very clean, although it was a little old. Step on a pair of navy blue cloth boots, a cooked cowhide belt, and the wrists and ankles are tied with black iron protectors, which are clean and easy to move.

A long knife with a wooden sheath hangs from his waist, and the curved handle is slightly longer than that of a normal one-handed knife.

"You are?" Yin Hongsu looked at him with some confusion, looking a little familiar, but he couldn't remember the name for a while, he always felt that the name was on his lips but he couldn't call it.

"In Xia Han Feng, you and I were drinking at the same table last night." Hanfeng said with a smile.

"I drank a little too much last night, I forgot, I'm sorry." Yin Hongsu smiled apologetically.

"Yesterday, Lady Yin drank a few of us down. There are such a large number of heroines as Yin Nuxia, and the little woman is also the first time to see it. A young woman dressed as an aqua blue knight stood up and clenched her fists and said.

Just looking at her face, she is slightly older than Yin Hongsu, and her figure is also tall, and her delicate figure is outlined by the strength of the body, but it is a pity that there is a Yin Hongsu standing here, and she is compared to her in terms of posture and facial features.

"Little girl Mo Lan." She was holding a flute that looked like jade but not jade, and judging by the length of the flute, most of them had a sword hidden in it.

"I'm sorry, guys. I don't remember a few names, but I have them all on my face. A few of my friends here are all guys drinking at the same table, and you and I remember sitting at the next table. She said as she reached out and nodded at a few people.

Several people who were nodded by him nodded in acknowledgement and saluted with fists.

"I don't know why some of you want to go with me, I don't remember inviting you to drink last night." Yin Hongsu asked the doubts in his heart.

"To tell you the truth, last night I heard that Yin Nuxia was going to the direction of Xiaoji Town to fight the demon disaster head-on and save the people of Xiaoji Town, a few of us were quite ashamed to hear it, although the government has issued a notice to recruit the people of the rivers and lakes to fight the demon disaster, but only asked to deploy on the front line of Moji, but we never thought that the lives of the people of Xiaoji Town were in danger, only the government would organize the evacuation of the people of Xiaoji." Han Feng still clenched his fists and said.

"You can look at the actions of the government, it is clear that only the troops are only on the front line of Moji, and the dispatch speed is far less than the rapid movement of the warriors of the rivers and lakes such as me, when the army of the government arrives at Moji, Xiaoji Town is afraid that it has been trapped in the demonic disaster, not to mention waving the army north to save the people of Xiaoji." Another bearded man dressed as a heroic man said.

"Since Yin Nuxia can think of going to Xiaoji to save people first, I call myself a chivalrous man who walks the rivers and lakes to eliminate danger and help the weak, how can this kind of thing lag behind others, so I want to walk with Yin Nuxia." Han Feng took over the conversation.

"Yes, many people have more strength, although I am not sure about fighting against the demonic disaster, it is still my duty to save people. And when there are more people, everyone will take care of each other, and more people will come out. A man with wide shoulders and long legs said in an excited voice while holding his own gold and white steel spear.

"You can think about it, you will definitely die a life if you go here, it is better to leave a useful body to guard the defense line of Moji." In the face of everyone's enthusiasm, Yin Hongsu was unmoved, and still asked in a deep voice.

"What's the matter with death, the eldest husband does something and doesn't do anything, but he sacrifices his life for righteousness." A hat-bearer dragging a long knife shouted loudly across his chest. Bang bang ~ In the sound of the collision of palms and pectoral muscles, two handfuls of dust were knocked off the clothes.

"Since ancient times, there have been women who don't let me say that I have a beard, little sister, I also want to learn to be that woman today."

More than a dozen people in the audience expressed their attitudes, and each of them showed the righteousness of putting life and death out of the way.

Li Yuntao found that most of the men secretly glanced at Yin Hongsu.

"Since you are so eager, it seems that I am not open-minded and chivalrous enough to refuse. That being the case, let's go on the road together. ”

So a team of fifteen Jianghu warriors composed of Xiaoji Town rescue team was established, and everyone did not delay at the moment, bid farewell to the friends who came to see them off, and rode their horses on the road to Xiaoji Town.

It is worth mentioning that five of these fifteen people originally came to see them off, but after seeing Yin Hongsu, they temporarily decided to join the rescue team. The five of them went home to salute and let the brigade go first, and they would catch up on their own.

Yin Hongsu summoned the white horse that the White Deer Demon had transformed into with a blinding method, which stopped some thoughts of letting the horse or riding together.
