Chapter 27: Taste

The sky was bright.

A man wearing a shabby hat, a coarse cloth shirt, and carrying a bamboo basket lined up to wait for the inspection of the garrison division of the city guard.

After paying a large amount of money to enter the city, the gatekeeper glanced at this young man full of poor temperament, and immediately lost interest.

They just casually pulled into the bamboo basket, and immediately covered their noses with disgust, and waved him impatiently to let him go.

Wei Tao put the bamboo basket on his back again, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the others into the city gate quickly.

After killing the mad woman, he didn't even dare to rest a little longer, and finally came to the village at the foot of the mountain in the dark before dawn.

First threw the armor and weapons into the rising river and washed away, Wei Tao casually sneaked into a house, found a set of rags and clothes to change into for himself,

and then put on a bamboo basket in the firewood house, and in an instant, he turned back into a firewood man who struggled to make a living.

Thanks to the heavy rain last night, it not only greatly increased the difficulty of searching the mountain, but also washed away the traces that he did not deal with, and once again reduced the hidden danger of being discovered.

Just walked a short distance away, suddenly there was a sound of falling things behind him.

Wei Tao's heart tightened, and he immediately looked back.

I saw a couple of men and women saluting at the city gate, and several soldiers gathered around, poking and poking on a pile of books with spears, without the slightest intention of letting them go.

After only one glance, he turned away with a blank face.

This kind of thing happens more than once a day, and people who often go in and out of Cangyuan City have long been surprised.

It's actually very simple to solve it, even if the two people who were stopped have nothing to do with each other in the city, they just need a little bit of fun.

The guards were allowed to leave without saying a word, and no one cared if there were any prohibited items in these salutes.

This is the way of the world itself, and it has nothing to do with whether it is righteous or not, right or wrong.

They have neither the strength nor the relationship, and they don't want to waste money, so they only mention the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, except for increasing the number of soldiers guarding the city and the onlookers laughing, it has no effect at all.

Not long after, Wei Tao walked into a fly restaurant on the street, asked for a large bowl of noodle soup and a basket of steamed buns, and found a window seat to eat slowly.

Although the rain has stopped outside, after an autumn rain, the temperature has dropped significantly, and many pedestrians outside have put on thicker jackets, no longer the short clothes that filled the streets a few days ago.

Wei Tao took a bite of the bun, drank another sip of hot noodle soup, and sighed comfortably.

According to the ontology's memory, the price of firewood will start to rise at this time of year.

The family will gradually reduce the time spent looking for and picking herbs, and turn more to collecting firewood and selling money, and then purchasing grain, salt and other materials in advance.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to cope with the needs of life when the mountains are covered by heavy snow in the cold winter.

This year should not be as hard as before.

Not to mention that his family has a relatively stable livelihood, just counting the silver he earned with his own hands during this time, it is far more than all the expenses of a family of four for several years.

There was even money left to buy a house.

The curtain was lifted, and a man and a woman walked in from the outside and sat down at the table across from him.

The people in the snack bar went in and out, Wei Tao didn't notice them, and he was concentrating on eating the food in front of him, but the words of the woman behind him made him raise his head.

She said, "I told you to prepare some extra money to feed the guard dogs in the morning, and you had to be hard, and now you are all right, and you have been beaten in vain, and you have broken a few salutes." ”

The man's left cheek was high and swollen, and he said with anger, "They are just guarding the city, and they dare to openly ask for money from a man, it is simply lawless, ignoring the laws of the Great Zhou!" ”

"What you said, there may have been some truth a few decades ago, but now you still stalk your neck and don't admit the reality, which really makes people laugh off their big teeth."

"I, as long as I can get into the Jinshi again, or donate the official ......"

"What can you do if you win the Jinshi, what do you think you are, after reading a few broken books, you have been arguing all day long about self-cultivation and Qi family ruling the country and leveling the world, but now you don't even have a home, and there is only a hard mouth left, right?"

Wei Tao couldn't help but smile when he heard this, drank the last bite of noodle soup, and threw a few big coins on the table, regardless of the two young people who were getting more and more noisy, and slowly walked out of the shop.

He turned left and right in the alleys of the outer city, and by the way, he bought some flatbread and braised pork for today's meal, and after making sure that no one was following, he suddenly sped up and returned to his newly purchased house.

After closing the doors and windows, Wei Tao could finally take a breath and let his heartstrings, which had been tense for a long time, relax a little.

As soon as he took that breath for a long time, he suddenly felt that his head was swollen and cracked, and his whole body was sore.

The pain of tearing in several places on the shoulder, chest, and back of the shoulder, and endured it again and again, so that he didn't cry out directly.

That woman is terrifying.

Before she met him, she had already killed an unknown number of Wind Forest Sergeants, as well as a group of Moon Shadow Viewing Daoists.

Even though she was seriously injured at the time and only had one breath left, she could still press him and beat him, and even almost killed him.

Fortunately, he was wearing a counter-injury stabbing armor and was a dual-wielding crossbow archer, so he had the last laugh with the advantage of his weapon.

After slumping on the chair and resting for a while, Wei Tao struggled to get up, took out all the firewood in the bamboo basket, and then peeled off a pile of cow dung below, finally revealing the true harvest of this entry into the mountain.

The first was a portrait he had turned out of the arms of a richly dressed Taoist, a portrait the size of a ruler when unfolded.

He held his breath and stared at the drawing of the human body marked with dense lines and small print for a long time.

Then I have to admit that I know every word on it, but when it is connected together, it becomes a difficult and obscure heavenly book, and people can't understand its true meaning at all.

Putting the portrait away, he carefully took out another scroll.

It appears to be made of some unknown animal hide, soft and resilient to the touch.

Wei Tao has considerable expectations for it.

Because this is found from that terrible woman, maybe it will record her arrogant and domineering life's learning.

With a hint of inexplicable nervousness, he slowly opened the hide.

Little by little, time passed.

He stared at the patterns on the animal skin for a long time, but he didn't understand the essentials at all, and his expression was blank and helpless from beginning to end.

Who am I and where am I?

What the hell is this?

Although he couldn't understand the first picture, he at least knew that it was a portrait of a human body of equal proportions, and he knew the words on it, but he didn't know why it was connected.

And on this animal skin is a numbing abstract graffiti, like a pattern drawn by a depressed person following his inner thoughts.

The dense chaotic lines are repeatedly intertwined and entangled, and there is no other feedback and feeling except for dizziness, nausea and nausea after reading.

Carefully putting the two drawings back away, Wei Tao cleaned up his mood, fetched a basin of water and began to clean the looted gold and silver.

The scattered silver coins were quickly washed and set aside, and there were only four strange coins left in the basin.

Wei Tao took them in front of his eyes and took a closer look.

These four coins are strange.

First of all, it gives a soft touch to the touch.

In terms of shape and size, they are not the outer circle and inner square of copper coins, but more similar to the appearance of fish scales.

In terms of color, there is a hint of fantasy purple in the golden yellow.

On the obverse of each fish-scale coin, the word "racha" is engraved.

On the back is a strange pattern, which looks like a vertical pupil that shoots a lot of light.

After staring at it for a long time, it even made people feel a little chill inexplicably.

"The crazy woman said it was pretty, and I thought she was lying."

Wei Tao's mind turned, put a fish scale coin in his mouth, and bit it lightly.

Now he can be sure that this thing is definitely not gold.

The next moment, Wei Tao took it out of his mouth.

Smacking his lips and a slightly eccentric expression.

The smell of this thing......

It smelled like the sea.

It occurred to him that the woman seemed to have said that they were not only good-looking, but also useful.

"What does it mean to be easy to use......" Wei Tao muttered to himself, his face gloomy as watery.

In an instant, the decision had been made to dig a deep pit in the yard and bury them, so that they would never see the light of day again.

"Shhh

At this moment, his palms were suddenly hot, as if he was holding a red-hot soldering iron.

Swish!

Wei Tao didn't have time to be surprised, but he was attracted by the status bar that appeared in front of him.

There, a whole new interface emerges.

Top-up Center......

"Recharge Center!?"

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm his somewhat chaotic mood.

Could it be that these fish scale-shaped, coin-like things, can be converted into gold coins that raise the progress bar of the Red Line Fist?

He had tried before, whether it was gold or silver, as well as copper coins of the Great Zhou system, he couldn't make the status bar react in any way.

As a result, this little thing with the word "Luo Cha" written on it can actually open the recharge center in the status bar?

"Whether to top up or not."

Without any hesitation, Wei Tao pointed directly at the "yes" and nodded.

Swish!

The palms of the palms slammed into the air, and the strange coins that had not yet been studied disappeared without warning.

Immediately after a few crisp sounds, the available gold coins in the status bar interface jumped directly from 0 to 4.

Wei Tao's eyes widened suddenly, and he didn't hide the look of surprise in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the recharge was successful!?

With this effect, what is the taste of the sea?

Even in the Aral Sea, he will be satisfied.
