The sun is shining brightly, and the ears of wheat are fragrant.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, there are endless wheat fields as far as the eye can see.

The wheat waves rose and fell in the breeze, shining as bright as gold, and among the swaying wheat waves, the men bent down and waved their sickles, and the wheat stalks in their arms fell behind them. Smoke was already rising from the hut at the edge of the field, the women were busy inside and outside the door, and the children ran out of the door with clay pots and porcelain altars on their backs, giggling and chasing and running to the fields.

Everyone's face is full of smiles, and in the harvest year, all troubles will dissipate in joy and smiles.

"Jingle bell, ding bell."

Under the sun, a two-seater caravan slowly approached, sprinkled with a series of crisp bells along the way, like the laughter of the townspeople celebrating the harvest.

The black caravan, clanging all the way, with a broken wooden sign on the roof of the car, which reads Monica and Babu Chamber of Commerce, at this time the arrows representing the swapped positions under the two names have been crossed out again, although it is just a few casual strokes, but the name of the Chamber of Commerce is back to the order of Monica and Babu.

"Hey, Miss Merchant, Mr. Merchant." Seeing the caravan coming, someone on the side of the road naturally waved his hand, and the rough voice was particularly penetrating in the wheat field, "Are you leaving today?" ”

"Hi~" The caravan stopped, Monica leaned out of the cockpit, waved her hand vigorously, and responded loudly, "I've been staying for a few days, I have to go, thank you for your hospitality these days." ”

"Everyone is here to send it off, Mr. Merchant and Miss Merchant are leaving."

The sound penetrated the vast field, inside and outside the house, in the field, from time to time someone raised his head to look this way, people in the direction of the work in their hands, three or three in twos and twos, and soon, dozens of people came to the caravan one after another, lively and lively like a festival.

"Wow, Miss Merchant, your beads are really delicious, I have never eaten such a delicious fruit in my life, come, you're welcome, you can take this piece of ham with you on the road, the ham I made is the best in our village."

"Mr. Merchant, don't listen to his nonsense, he has never eaten several kinds of fruits in his life, and he thinks everything he eats is delicious. However, the beaded fruit is really delicious, and after eating it once, the children in the family may be able to remember it for a lifetime, hahahaha. ”

For a while, there was laughter and laughter around the caravan, and everyone, especially the children, gathered around the caravan for a long time and refused to disperse.

It took a maximum of half a month to leave Grep Town, and this was already the fourth life that the three of them had passed.

It's not a prosperous place, the scope of the world is not large, the population is small, not even a town, it can only be regarded as four larger villages, the largest population is only a few hundred people, there are no special products except agricultural products, not even cash crops, let alone handmade products, but at least the folk customs are very simple, there are no good toys like Sherlock before, which makes Babu feel bored, and he can't mention the nature every day.

This is the case in all four villages, and the situation of the caravans is not much better.

Having just turned into a wholesale merchant, Monica has almost emptied her entire inventory, leaving her hands with nothing but beaded fruit and fruit wine. However, the relatively high-value cash crops did not sell well in such a small place, and only 10 boxes were sold in 10 villages in a row. The harvest was more, and the villagers were very generous, ten boxes of fruit were exchanged for large bags of flour, which had already taken up the space in the car, and even Anna's nest was compressed a lot smaller, and there were bundles of wheat stalks tied to the top of the caravan, and the space that had just been vacated in the handbag was not spared, and two pigs were actually loaded, and a corbel was stuffed.

I have gained a lot, and I have returned with a lot of money...... And leave.

It stands to reason that such caravans will not be too popular in various places, everyone looks forward to the caravan every year, the purpose is not only to sell their accumulated products, but also to buy something from the caravan that is not available in the village, just the beaded fruit can only taste things is obviously not enough to satisfy the villagers everywhere, and these simple guys always write their likes and dislikes on their faces, and the unpopular caravan will not be paid attention to by many people at all.

But Monica's team is different from that of the Babu Chamber of Commerce, and they are very popular because ......

"Uncle Merchant, Uncle Merchant, change one more and change another."

"Yes, uncle, you all have to go, let's change one at the end."

Babu was already surrounded by a lot of people, and a group of small things led the charge, and their parents followed behind them shouting and cheering, making it difficult for Babu to move. For a moment, dozens of small dirty hands wiped Babu's clothes, making Babu's forehead bounce.

"You little bastards, get out of the way, pester me again, be careful that my Anna eats you."

Babu held Anna in front of her to guard her, and little Anna found herself lifted, and curiously stuck out her head, sniffing and sniffing and sn......iffing and sn He yawned boredly, turned back into Babu's arms, and stopped talking about a bunch of boring guys and an even more boring brother.

"Don't get out of the way, you want to see magic, okay, you little bastards, don't regret it."

Bang, Babu slapped his hand, and a large handful of colorful scraps of paper spewed out like a fountain between the closed hands, and the hands slapped again, and when they opened, a long strip of cloth pulled between the two hands.

The third time to clap his hands, after a burst of cheering sound, dozens of copper coins fell to the ground, in the exclamation of the people around, Babu's movements were as fast as lightning, the copper coins did not land, he was taken into his hands one by one, counted the money in his hand, and then nodded with satisfaction.

However, he didn't continue to perform, but instead crossed the group of stupid children, stuffed a few copper coins in each of the hands of the parents behind them, and then patted his clothes and said with a smile: "Okay, the performance is over." ”

Everyone around was a little stunned, and at this time, a child finally realized that something was wrong, and when he touched his pocket, he found that all his pocket money was gone, and his pocket was empty.

"Wow", so the children finally stopped laughing, and began to cry, their parents were very happy, counting the pocket money that belonged to their children and smiling, unfortunately, people's joys and sorrows are not the same.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for children to cry and laugh adults, the caravan finally squeezed out of the crowd of farewells, leaving behind the cries and laughter, and the simple villagers waved their hands behind their backs to bid farewell to the strange businessman who had brought everyone a few days of happiness, and the caravan replied with a crisp bell, and its back swayed farther and farther away, gradually disappearing between the undulating waves of wheat.

Babu felt that the strange sense of spatial vibration was difficult to get used to anyway, and the dusty sky and the ubiquitous red mist were depressing, especially after just a few days in the sunny village.

Fortunately, after four experiences, Babu was able to adjust to this change of mood in time, and when he returned to the edge, he only sighed softly, and continued to pedal under his feet, with another beating copper coin on his finger.

"Haha, you really stole other people's children's pocket money." Monica recovered faster, tilted her head to see Babu's booty, and laughed directly, "I guess they will hate marginal merchants from now on, and they will throw stones when they see the caravan, hahahaha." ”

"I'm doing this for their good." Báb kept the copper coins in his hands and kept them hidden, "so that they would know early what the sinister heart is, so that they would be less deceived in the future." ”

"Then I really thank you for them." Monica glanced at him angrily, looked at the dazzling copper plate on the back of his hand, and suddenly rolled the whip, like a snake, swept away his companions who appeared from time to time, wrinkled his nose and snorted softly, "Private money, confiscated." ”

"Hey, that's vicious." Babu made a friendly thumb down gesture, and out of nowhere, he pulled out another copper plate and continued to play, "However, in the past half a month, we have stuffed all the cars and all the food, is this really appropriate?" I feel that the food is heavy and worthless, and the cost performance is not high. ”

"Huh?" Monica was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly, and explained, "Several hard currencies of the fringe caravans, metal ingots, grain, fuel, and other goods may lose money, but these three hard currencies are not profitable. You haven't experienced a famine before. ”

"Hmm." Babu nodded, "I remember the town of Thor used to ......."

"I'm talking about, before."

Babu stiffened and turned her gaze to Monica, but Monica just controlled the direction as usual, even looking at him, looking as usual, as if what she had just said was not what she said at all.

Babu was silent for a long time, and gradually smiled, and as the smile grew thicker, he nodded, and his voice became softer: "I can't remember, but I shouldn't have experienced it." ”

"So you probably can't understand how sought-after food is in demand in the present world where the harvest has failed for several consecutive years, although the danger is very high and it will be robbed if it is not good, but once the transaction is completed, it will be several times or even dozens of times the profit." Monica shook her head, "But I don't really want to come across this kind of opportunity to make money, the danger is too high, if it's just a simple bad harvest, it's even more dangerous if there is a problem in the whole world and the cultivation is reduced." ”

"High risk, high reward, no dangerous stimulus, how can gold coins take the initiative to run into our pockets." Babu flicked the coin into the air, but before it could fall, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the caravan behind him and swallowed the coin in his mouth.

"Hey, little thing, loosen up, that's money, it's money, it's not delicious, and you can buy a lot of delicious food, spit it out, give me back my money, hey, don't bite, at least give me back my hand, loosen up."

The chaos behind her filled Monica's face with an irrepressible smile, and she whistled as the vehicle accelerated like it was on the edge.

But none of the three noticed that when they returned to the edge this time, the sky covered with dust, above the dust, the entire sky had been shrouded in a large shadow of a large shadow, the shadow writhed and rolled, and hundreds of millions of tentacles waved and wriggled on the surface of the shadow, and with each wave, it was as if something had drilled out of the surface of the subject and dispersed into the surrounding environment.
