Chapter 206: Mysterious Amber
On top of the ∏ clay jute cloth was a fist-sized piece of amber, and the price of amber was very high, and he asked for 10,000 patterned money. Amber has been selling here for a month, and at such an expensive price, the ordinary people can't afford it or need it, so basically no one comes to watch, so only the idle nobles who have nothing to do in order to show their knowledge, they often come to discuss and study, and after studying for a month, no one still knows what it is.
When I asked the old man to sell it, he was also confused, and he didn't know what it was selling, and when I picked up the amber and looked at it, I was shocked on the spot. Everyone saw my face and guessed that I knew what it was, so they all held their breath and waited for the next step. But I stopped abruptly, I looked into the eyes of the white-bearded old man: "Where did you get this?" The old man looked at the amber in my hand, stroked his long beard, and calmed down: " Speaking of the origin of this treasure, it can indeed be called a legend, listen to the ancestors, this treasure is a major earthquake, from the cracks in the ground was squeezed out of the groundwater, and then ∮∑∮∑∮∑ it, ∷.≌[email protected] was picked up by the ancestors, and it has been passed on to the old man as the treasure of the town, and now the family is in decline, and the cheap body is seriously ill, and it is in urgent need of money, otherwise the ancestral things can not be shot. ”
"Then do you know what this is?Or did the ancestors pass down any words?" I continued to ask, and observed whether the old man's expression was fake? When the general jewelry businessman sells the treasure, he will make up a moving and tortuous story for the treasure, so as to inject "connotation" into the treasure, and the treasure will also rise, but the old man does not seem to be lying, from his conversation and inconspicuous small movements, his words are credible. "This object has never had an official name, for none of us knows what it is called, how it was formed, what it does, and what it does, and the ancestors have not left any words, just say that this treasure comes from the ground, and that one day it should be returned to the ground! I'm really ashamed of my ancestors. ”
I stuffed the yellow amber into my pocket, afraid that someone else would snatch it away: "You can just short-price." The old man saw that I was determined to win, he smiled, and thought, "This time I have to raise the price, and then let this apricot slowly bargain, if he really wants, 50 silver, then I will not let go, if he doesn't want it, then 50 copper will be sold." Anyway, the minimum should not be less than 10,000 patterned money, because the wife's illness is estimated to be 10,000 patterned money. The old man pondered as he stretched out five fingers and shook them in front of my eyes.
The old man deliberately pretended to be mysterious, I didn't have time to deal with him, I took out a gold ingot and put it on the high wooden table: "For you, 50 gold" The old man's eyes lit up, and he reached out and grabbed the gold ingots firmly, and refused to let go anymore. "Is there enough money?" "Enough money, enough money, thank you for your generosity." Thank you for your tip. The old man thanked him vigorously. Since the deal is closed, I don't have to stay long, I left the street with everyone and went straight out of the city to take a turn, I still have important things to do. It's strange to see that I spent a lot of money on something that doesn't look good. Candy asked curiously, "Brother Yuchen, what is that thing you bought?" It's not pretty, and it's so expensive?"
After hearing this, I touched the candy's cute sex bag and laughed: "When I return to the palace, I will answer in detail." "Sandbar Country. On the outskirts of Wangcheng, there seems to be no end to the endless yellow sand, and there are rivers meandering through the desert. On both sides of the river are poplar trees, which are quite dense, and under the trees, you can occasionally see desert roses and stone flowers. In addition to poplar trees, the most common single trees are sedum, radishes, cacti, cactus, cactus, and cactus are also everywhere. There are also pineapples, dracaena trees, saxons, gymnocarpus, camel thorns, strange willows, overlords, sea buckthorn and other long-leaved plants, which make the ancient royal city full of life, which is also a miracle in a sandbar country full of sand. ...
According to my observations and the descriptions of the residents, the area of the sandbank country is very large, and the horses cannot walk for more than a year, but most of them are death deserts (no signs of life, no water sources), and deserts with rivers like Wangcheng are rare, and other places are at most wells. Therefore, the people of the entire sandbank country live within a radius of more than 1,000 kilometers around the royal city, and from a distance, the mud and grass huts where the residents live are like white mushrooms opening in the desert, dotted with this boundless sea of sand, and there is no end in sight.
The scenery here is roughly similar to that of Israel on the modern earth, although the yellow sand is continuous, but there is a water source, there will be miracles like the "Holy City, Temple Mount", and there may be civilizations like the pyramids of Egypt. The country has a vast area, but the population is only more than 10 million, and they are all scattered around the center of the royal city. The reason for living by the royal city is simple, because only the royal city has a constant supply of fresh water. Tarji Lake in the royal city is a freshwater lake that never dries up, at the bottom of the lake, there is a holy spring, it flows every day without interruption, nourishing the people of the sandbank country, the spring water flows from the royal city in eight directions to the outside of the city more than 1,000 kilometers away.
This is also the mother spring of Shazhou Country, and the people of Shazhou Country swear to defend her sacrosanctity to the death. My wives are playing happily, like carefree little antelopes, and the purpose of my trip is to conduct field investigations, keep in mind what I have seen and heard, analyze and deal with them, and file them one by one. But I won't tell my wives about this, I'll take care of these worries alone, and I want my wives to be carefree, happy and beautiful all the time. In the suburbs, after eating all kinds of food, drinks and coffee I took out of the bird's nest space, my wives were even more happy, and they still wanted to enjoy the sunset in the desert until the evening.
After I said that I almost threatened them with my family law (they were not afraid of my family law at all, my family law was to strip naked and throw it on my bed), so they "reluctantly" went back to the royal palace with me to rest. As soon as I returned to the dormitory, a servant came to report that the king had come to look for me, and that I had left because I was absent, but he said that he would come again later. Listening to this servant's tone, Tarzan may have something important to discuss with me. (To be continued......)
