Looking at the five taels of silver on the table, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up.

That's silver, five taels, can you save five taels a year?

However, in the end, it can be regarded as a well-seen person, and the silver is seen, but he did not come up to get it at the first time.

"Guest officer, silver is a good thing, but this thing is sometimes hot, it depends on what you ask." Xiao Er tried to keep his composure, but his eyes never took off the ingot of silver for a moment.

Guo Mo looked at it, it was okay, he was a steady master.

"Then let me ask you, are you a native of Xiangyang?" Guo Mo asked.

"Of course, I grew up in Xiangyang when I was a child, and according to my grandfather, six generations from him onwards were locals." Speaking of which, the shopkeeper has a rare sense of arrogance.

"Then have you ever heard that there is a strange snake outside this Xiangyang City? This snake has fleshy horns on the top of its head, and its body is full of golden light, and it walks like the wind, and it contains highly poisonous. Guo Mo asked.

"This ......" Hearing Guo Mo say this, the shopkeeper tried his best to recall the situation of the snake near Xiangyang.

Not to mention, snakes are also a major "specialty" of Xiangyang, even in later generations, in May and June every year, it is also the season of snake infestment.

From time to time, I have heard of people being bitten by snakes, but the common one is a pit viper, commonly known as a "homespun bag".

And Guo Mo described this kind of snake, the shopkeeper racked his brains and still didn't remember it, but he felt that he had heard it somewhere.

I really couldn't remember it, so I had to smile bitterly: "Guest officer, I won't tell you, we have a lot of snakes in Xiangyang, and there are many categories, especially this season." ”

"You just said that kind of snake, I have never seen it before, but I always feel that I have heard it somewhere. Otherwise, you two will stay here today, and I'll run home overnight. ”

"The third uncle of my family is a perennial snake catcher, should I ask him?" The shopkeeper still wants to get the five taels of silver.

Looking at the sky, it was just past noon, and Guo Mo was not in a hurry.

Seeing the sincerity of what Xiao Er said, he was also quite satisfied, and gave him five taels of silver with a wave of his hand.

"You can take the silver first, if your third uncle really knows, if the time is convenient, you can bring him over, I have another thanks."

"Okay, I'll take a leave of absence from the shopkeeper, and I'll go back to you right away to inquire."

There is a saying: money presses slaves and maids, and art presses pedestrians.

Five taels of silver in hand, this little two didn't say a word, lost a courtesy, and ran downstairs.

"Brother Mo, what are you doing catching snakes?" Huang Rong asked puzzled.

"Rong'er, I'm looking for this kind of snake, called 'Bodhisattva Qu Snake', when I was in Shaolin Temple, I occasionally saw it in a Buddhist scripture." Guo Mo organized the language.

"The main thing is that the snake gall is a good baby, its gall is dark purple, and the spirit is immediately refreshing after taking it, the internal strength can also be greatly increased, and the meridians around the body are unimpeded."

"I want to use this to cultivate the 'Nine Yang True Scripture', but this 'Nine Yang True Scripture' is the most rigid and yang exercise in the world, and it is not suitable for Rong'er to cultivate, it's a pity."

"Brother Mo doesn't have to be like this, you can just protect me if you practice," Huang Rong grinned.

"It just so happens that I also took this opportunity to practice a few kung fu skills on 'Peach Blossom Island', it was such a waste of time before."

They did not wait in the shop, but opened two upper rooms, put away their luggage and horses, and went out into the street.

After all, when I came from the north to the south, there were still some differences in dress, and the weather was getting hotter, so the previous clothes were not very suitable.

The two of them just wandered around and bought a change of clothes.

Since "Dingxing", Guo Mo has been like a mobile vault, rich and easy to do, and it didn't take long for the two to choose a few sets of what they liked.

walked back down the street until Guo Mo couldn't hold anything in his hand, and the two returned to the store.

At this time, the shopkeeper had actually returned, followed by a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties.

The weather is hot, and the middle-aged man is dressed in a short shirt, with dark skin exposed, and he looks like a person who has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years.

It's just that the middle-aged man has a scar on his left ankle, which looks like it's been some years.

The black-purple scar on the palm of his hand made his left ankle obviously thinner, and it looked terrifying, even if he was standing, his body was a little tilted.

"The villain Li San has seen Childe, and I heard that Childe wants to inquire about a strange snake?" The middle-aged man spoke first.

"Yes, my family wants to refine an elixir and find such a snake as a medicine primer. Do you know where to find this snake? Guo Mo said casually.

The middle-aged man named Li San seemed to have thought of something terrible, and his face turned red and white.

"Don't hide it from the child, the villain is the snake catcher of this Xiangyang. More than 20 years ago, twenty miles south of Xiangyang City, there was a large dense forest. ”

"After the dense forest, it is the continuous Daiyu Mountain, which is inaccessible. The villain met the 'golden horn wind' outside the dense forest. ”

"'Golden Horn'? What is that? Guo Mo was a little puzzled.

After repeated explanations by the snake catcher Li San, Guo Mo realized that this "Bodhisattva Snake" was called "Golden Horn Wind" in the local area, which was easy to understand and very appropriate.

"Well, it's still early, so come with us and take us to the place where you last saw the snake."

Twenty miles, back and forth, riding horses does not delay time.

When Li San heard this, his legs and stomachs turned a little, and he looked at the scar as big as his left ankle.

After all these years, he didn't dare to go to that place again.

Guo Mo could see Li San's fear, "This Brother Li, you just need to take us over, when you get to the ground, these ten taels of silver are yours." ”

Guo Mo took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his arms, and the shopkeeper was forbidden to pull Li San's arm beside him: "Third uncle, let's go for a trip, isn't the eldest brother in the family still waiting for money to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Looking at the silver, in the end, Li San made a heartbreak and agreed.

The shopkeeper hurriedly brought the horses of Guo Mo and Huang Rong over, and borrowed a horse for Li San.

The three of them got on their horses, went out of the south gate, and went all the way to the south.

When you walk out of the five miles, you can see that there is a mountain in front of you, the mountain is not high, and in the words of later generations, the altitude is only four or five hundred meters.

Li San took the lead, got off the official road, and went southwest.

This road is not very easy to walk, the width is still okay, but it is full of potholes, and it looks like no one has come on weekdays.

After walking for about a few miles, we came across a three-way junction and continued southwest on the right-hand side of the road.

In this way, I changed roads three or four times in a row before I came to a dense forest.

Guo Mo followed behind, remembering the path in his heart so that he could come over tomorrow.

"Childe, it's here, the villain met the strange snake, and he was bitten, fortunately the villain cut off the rotten meat with a firewood knife in time, otherwise it would ......"

Guo Mo looked at the place, took out the silver from his arms and gave it to Li San.

"Childe, this ...... This seems to be a lot of money, right? Li San was puzzled.

"Brother Li goes back, the extra silver can be regarded as a bride price for your son."

Li San only said that he had met a good person, and it was a bunch of words of "Childe must be careful", and then went back with a thousand thanks.
