Volume 1 Wandering Rivers and Lakes Chapter 27 The Storm Rises Again
All the people of the Great Sui Empire, who have reached the age of twelve, must have an identity waist card, which is not only the basis for the imperial court to levy taxes, but also the identity certificate of the people.
Lin Zining naturally has an identity waist card, and he carries it with him, even after being captured by Gao Qing and Li Qi, he did not lose it. Because if he doesn't have a waist tag that can prove his identity, he is a black homeless person, and the local government can arrest him and send him to the wasteland.
But when avoiding Li Qi's pursuit, Lin Zining lost his waist card, and because of this, he dared to lie that he was Wang Lecheng. If Lin Zining goes back to Zhenhai County directly, he will lose his waist card, and there will be stubs in the county's household department, and Liu's/father and son and others can also prove his identity, just make up for one.
But he wanted to come to Luanping County first, and he couldn't enter the city without the identity card given to him by Cat Seventeen.
Why were the soldiers guarding the door surprised when they saw Lin Zining's waist card?
That's because Cat Seventeen gave Lin Zining the identity of a foreign guest, in the territory of the Great Sui Empire, it is not that there is no human race who has not gone to the foreign race as a guest, but in the land of Luanping County, it is the first time that the soldier has seen it. However, Huang Zhicai gave a lot of benefits to several brothers every time he came, and there was no doubt that the waist card was genuine, so the soldier was surprised for a moment, but looking at Lin Zining's expression, it was a little unclear.
After everyone entered the city, they first had to go to the City God Temple to receive the jade pieces that were allowed to enter the Luanping County market, and after the unification of the Great Sui Empire, unlike the previous empire, the behavior of other races to interact with the human race was also included in the management.
Take Huang Zhicai's aquatic tribes as an example, if they only trade and exchange privately, the government doesn't care, but as long as they want to trade in the tax-collecting bazaar, they must rent this jade piece.
Without jade pieces, there is no way to enter the bazaar, and ordinary merchants do not dare to conduct formal transactions with these alien races.
Lin Zining thought that he could meet a few acquaintances in the City God Temple, but after entering, he found that in addition to the City God and the judge statue, he was familiar with it, and he couldn't see a familiar person.
However, he didn't notice that the statue of the judge on the main hall was quite strange with his eyes moving.
The market of Luanping County is in the south of the city, the people often take the south city as the same as the south city, the south city is not far from the city god temple, everyone walks for less than a quarter of an hour, they arrive at the entrance of the south market, stand at the entrance and look ahead, the bustling crowd is clustered on a wide street, the street is lined with rows of shops.
This street is called Nanshi Street, and you can walk along Nanshi Street for another mile or two to reach Nanshi. Huang Zhicai is a regular customer here, and he has shared three stalls with a few merchants, and it is his turn to use them today.
Lin Zining has been a guy in the Sihai Warehouse for more than three years, and when he saw that there were already many people standing in the three stalls without goods, he knew that this was Huang Zhicai's old customer. Although the word "business" emphasizes "life", if you want to make your business bigger, you need to have "familiar" customers.
Lin Zining followed Huang Zhicai and continued to walk inside, but there were a few sharp-eyed people there, as soon as they saw Huang Zhicai, they shouted Huang Yuanwai from afar, and their voices were full of surprise.
So Huang Zhicai led everyone up, and the people there crowded to greet him, quite a husband and woman lamenting, but they were surprised to see the feeling of the distant lover appearing in the peach tree around the corner.
If you really think of me, I look at the air, and the four eyes are relative to each other.
What is the hardest thing about doing business? Isn't it just that new customers become old customers, and old customers often come back?
Seeing the scene in front of him, Lin Zining couldn't help but look at Huang Zhicai, who was not tall, and secretly said that although Huang Zhicai was not visible, his kung fu for dealing with people was cultivated at home.
After the goods were placed, Huang Zhicai asked his nephew Huang Dalin to help Lin Zining show the way, and by the way, he helped Lin Zining cut the price.
Huang Dalin was a little immature, but he did things at a glance, and it could be seen that he was quite familiar with Nanshi, and took Lin Zining to the street lined with pharmacies after turning a few small alleys.
In less than half an hour, the two of them basically bought all the medicinal materials, leaving only one thing left, to be honest, not to mention Huang Dalin, even Lin Zining saw this medicine for the first time. In the past few years, Lin Zining has read a lot of medicine books, and he has also seen a lot of strange medicinal materials and utensils in the Sihai Warehouse, but he really doesn't know what this Fu Lin Zi is.
I found a few pharmacies, not to mention whether anyone sells this flavor medicine, those shopkeepers have never heard of it, seeing this situation, Huang Dalin stopped Lin Zining and said to him: "In this situation, we have to go to the Baicao King of Baicaotang, in Luanping County, if he doesn't know this flavored medicine, we don't think we can buy it." ”
Lin Zining was not familiar with his life, so he naturally listened to Huang Dalin's arrangement and followed him to Baicaotang.
Baicao Wang is the owner of Baicaotang, his surname is Wang, because he is familiar with pharmacology and medicinal materials, so Baicaotang is not only a pharmacy but also a medical hall. Because of his superb medical skills and the use of medicinal materials, he won the title of the king of herbs.
Before the two of them arrived at Baicaotang, they saw that there were a lot of people crowded at the door, and Lin Zining was immediately attracted by a man and a woman in the crowd.
These two people stood on the periphery of the crowd, tall and tall, and the green clothes on their bodies were different from the clothes of the others, which naturally attracted attention. The man's hair was gray, his hands were in his sleeves, and the woman next to him was covered with a veil, revealing skin as white as snow. Both of them are relaxed, as if they are watching the excitement, and they really feel like they stand out from the crowd.
Xu Lin Zining had been watching it for a long time, and the veiled woman noticed it and glanced to the left, but when she saw Lin Zining and Huang Dalin, her eyes flickered, and she tilted her head back, and did not stay at the two of them for long.
Lin Zining also knew that his previous actions were a little rude, so he had to walk over with Huang Dalin casually, and when the two approached, through the crowd, he saw a middle-aged man with a dark face and messy hair lying at the door of Baicaotang, and a white-haired old man next to him was applying needles.
Huang Dalin pointed to the white-haired old man and whispered to Lin Zining: "That old man is the King of Hundred Herbs." ”
Looking at the outfit of this formation, there is no need for Huang Dalin to say, Lin Zining also guessed that this person should be the King of Herbs, not to mention how the King of Herbs has medical skills, but he has a childish face and fairy wind bones, which makes people have to trust.
Lin Zining was only three or five people away from the veiled woman, and as soon as he stood here, the faint fragrance came to his nose, and he didn't know how many of the people standing here were surprised by the medical skills of the Baicao King, and a few wanted to smell the fragrance.
The King of Herbs was rescuing, and exclamations were heard in the crowd.
"Look, look, his face has turned pale!"
"Oh, his eyes are moving, look!"
"It's moved, the king of herbs is worthy of a generation of famous doctors."
"He's talking, what is he talking about?"
"You want to drink water, right? People who are seriously ill are prone to hunger and thirst. ”
......
The king of the hundred herbs tried his best to rescue there, without saying a word, and the onlookers were even more excited than the main owner, but fortunately, after the rescue of the king of the hundred herbs, the middle-aged man finally woke up.
However, when the man saw so many people watching him, he looked a little panicked and exclaimed, "What's the matter?" What are you going to do? ”
As soon as the words came out, he found that there were a lot of silver needles on his face and hands, and he was even more surprised, and asked in horror: "What are you going to do?" What did you do to me? ”
After speaking, without waiting for everyone to react, he jumped to the ground and stood up, and then used both hands together, and with lightning speed, he pulled out all the silver needles on his body in three or two strokes and threw them on the ground.
The crowd of onlookers accused him of not knowing the hearts of good people, saying that if it wasn't for the king of Baicao to save him, he would have returned to the underworld a long time ago.
This man is tall and thin, with a white face and purple skin, and he couldn't see his expression just now, but now he has a first-class eye, pulling his face, and revealing his fierce appearance.
He looked at the crowd of onlookers and shouted, "Uncle, I was pecked to death by an eagle and bitten to death by a tiger, what does it have to do with you?" Get out of the way, I'm in the way of the uncle! ”
After speaking, the middle-aged man pushed left and right, pushing several people away one after another, and some people were even squeezed to the ground, making everyone curse and complain again.
Lin Zining was standing on the periphery, because he was stable under the plate, under the crowding of this pushing, he did not move, and several people were squeezed behind him one after another, and now he and Huang Dalin and the man and woman stood in front of the crowd.
It took a lot of pulling and pulling before they could stop, and at this time, many people who were watching the excitement dispersed, and a few men with evasive expressions seemed to feel that they couldn't stay longer, and they all left, and the rest except for the doctor and the four people who bought medicine, it was Lin Zining and the veil woman.
Just when everyone felt that the wind and waves were calm, the middle-aged man who had just run out suddenly shouted and exclaimed, and then his body was rickety, and his hands and feet twitched, which not only frightened the pedestrians on the street, but the man in Tsing Yi, who had just said nothing, also exclaimed: "Not good!" ”
Without waiting for everyone to react, the man in Tsing Yi hit the ground with his feet, rose out of thin air, and suddenly flew in front of the rude man, but just when he wanted to catch the man who was shaking and screaming, he didn't want to change again at this time.
The rude man turned around suddenly, and his originally fair face was now covered with white feathers, and his mouth and nose had turned into a bird's beak.
That's not all, before the man in Tsing Yi could react, the bird-faced human monster first opened its mouth and screamed, making a piercing scream, and as the sound wave came out, the pedestrians on the street covered their ears with their hands, squatted on the ground and wailed, and even the weaker people had blood flowing from their ears.
The man in Tsing Yi didn't pay attention to the pedestrians on the street, but shouted, "Evil beast dares! With that, a blue-black long sword suddenly appeared in his hand, stabbing at the bird-faced human monster.
At this moment, the bird-faced human monster turned into claws with both feet and wings, and the whole person turned into a giant bird with a white head and a purple body, and its clothes were torn.
In the face of the sword that the man in green clothes flew into, the giant bird did not flinch at all, and flapped its wings to form a violent wind, which came suddenly, and the rolled up sand and stone artifacts not only obscured the vision, but also smashed the people.
The giant bird flapped its wings, not only was the wind raging, but its body also retreated a few feet, and it was able to dodge the sword of the man in Tsing Yi. Under one move, there was no damage to both sides, and the giant bird fanned its wings, rolled up the sand and gravel equipment, and injured the pedestrians, but it faintly gained the upper hand.
The next moment, a person and a bird looked at each other, and the giant bird opened his mouth first, and said in a sharp voice: "Pingyuan old thief, your master and apprentice chased from Ningzhou to Chuzhou, and I showed mercy to my subordinates several times, how can you not appreciate it, isn't my mouth tricky, my claws are not sharp, and I can't kill anyone?" ”
