Chapter 698: Discerning Eyes
Song Pingcun could finally take a breath, without spiritual power, his body movement was still a bit of a waste of physical strength, and he gasped for a while before he raised his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't sail a boat." I met an island at sea, and I escaped by hiding in the dark room of the cabin, and I was the only one left on the ship. I'll pay for the damage to your ship! Song Pingcun said the reason he had thought of in advance.
Sure enough, the woman's compassion is more. Let Song Pingcun wait, she went to ask.
Not long after, the maid appeared at the bow of the boat again and said to Song Pingcun: "You come on our boat first, my young lady has something to ask you." ”
A crew member on the sea ship lowered the cable and pulled Song Pingcun up.
Seeing Song Pingcun's climbing action, basically these crew members believed what he said. That's not pretending, it's really not.
Following the maid-like woman from the bow of the boat to the main cabin, a gauze curtain covered the figure behind, but Song Pingcun still saw it very clearly, there was a woman in gorgeous clothes lying on a low floor, and there was a woman sitting next to her. The people of this boat, so far, he has not found a single immortal cultivator, it should be an ordinary mortal.
"Miss, it was this man's boat that hit our sea boat." The maid who led the way knelt down and said to the person behind the curtain.
"What's your name?" From behind the curtain came the voice of inquiry, from the seated woman.
Song Pingcun hurriedly replied: "Under Song Pingcun." When the road met the island, all the family unfortunately died, and the next person was left to drift with the ship, just because he did not know how to dock, and he did not deliberately want to hit the boat. ”
The maid next to her was still kneeling, as if she was used to it, and said, "Miss, I asked Elder Zheng, this person really doesn't look like a person who is begging for a living at sea." ”
"That's it!" The voice behind the gauze curtain was warm and delicate, but it was from another person, and this time Song Pingcun knew that it was a person sitting on a low floor behind the curtain. "Where are you going?"
"I don't know below, this time I was traveling with my family, I was playing, but I didn't expect to suffer this catastrophe." There was a hint of sadness in Song Pingcun's tone.
"Where are you from?"
"Chenming Continent Qiming Mountain."
"You don't look like a person who works hard, what do you do?"
"I am a scholar below, and I am fortunate to be able to live until now."
"I'm missing an accountkeeper on my ship, and you're willing to stay."
"This ......"
"What else? If you don't stay, do you know how much it will cost to repair our ship? The maid next to her reminded Song Pingcun in a low voice that this was really out of good intentions.
Song Pingcun was stunned, and he said compensation, it seems that the maid thought that she was just blurting out in a hurry. But now that he has no spiritual power, there is a group of people as cover, even if someone finds an abnormality, he can explain it, and immediately replied: "Thank you, Miss, I am willing!" ”
After agreeing to stay, Song Pingcun was taken to the bottom cabin of the ship by the maid who brought him on the ship and explained some things. Song Pingcun learned that the sea ship had just docked yesterday. It belongs to the Situ family of Wanrui Kingdom in the Jin Yao Continent, and behind the curtain just now is the second lady and the wet nurse of the Situ family, and the Situ family relies on commerce and trade, so every clansman will arrange to run around when he becomes an adult.
It's not surprising at all that Mr. Bookkeeper charges an extra bookkeeper!
Knowing the identities of these people, Song Pingcun was completely relieved. It is really dangerous to sail alone at sea, and it is not yourself who is at risk, but someone else.
The Jin Yao Continent and the Chenming Continent are not on a parallel line, but they are also in the east, almost across the sea from the Mingrun Continent where the One God Temple where they are going to be, and they are not far away.
After arranging his own residence, Song Pingcun began his life as a bookkeeper. He kept a daily record of the ship's cargo and transactions, and in his spare time learned from the crew about sailing and mooring. He found himself very interested in them, and quickly mastered some basic techniques.
The Situ family's transactions in the Luoying Islands were not on the ship, but most of the time the second lady did not get off the ship, and Song Pingcun, the bookkeeper who had just received it, basically had nothing to do.
The people who traded the goods disliked him for his lack of strength, and coupled with the gray hair on his head, they were afraid that he would be weak and powerless, so they didn't call him.
It wasn't until one day that a group of people returned a little dejected and went to report to the second lady that Song Pingcun entered the main warehouse again, but this time the gauze curtain did not fall, and he saw the woman's appearance clearly.
At the age of less than twenty, there is a very shrewd and capable light in her eyes, and a gorgeous dress makes her even more noble.
Song Pingcun bowed his head slightly to show respect, and then stood quietly aside, waiting for the report of those people to end. From their conversation, he vaguely heard the words "shoddy" and "immortals ignore it", and his heart couldn't help but move. It seems that this transaction is not going well, and it seems that there are still immortal cultivators involved.
The second lady's brows were tightly locked, obviously very dissatisfied with this matter. She glanced at Song Pingcun, who was standing aside, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Song, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Song Pingcun was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the second lady to suddenly ask him for the opinion of the newly arrived bookkeeper. He quickly sorted out his thoughts, and then replied respectfully: "Miss, although I have just arrived, I don't know much about the specific situation, so I don't know if I can tell me what the specific situation is?" ”
When the first person saw Miss Situ Er nodding, he took out something that looked like a wild ginseng from a beautiful box next to him and handed it over. said, "Do you know what this thing is?" ”
Seeing the other party's movements, Song Pingcun could roughly guess that there might be something wrong with this wild ginseng. If your spiritual power is still there, you can easily identify it by just starting it. But there is no spiritual power at the moment, after taking it, after taking it roughly, the appearance and color are fine, these are the most common medicinal materials for refining pills, which are very precious to mortals, and to the Immortal Cultivation Sect, they are like mortals planting vegetables and vegetables, so even if he has no spiritual power, he can still see the problem at a glance.
"Second Miss, the year of this ginseng is only about two years, but judging by its color performance, someone should have used a strange method to give birth. It seems to be close to 100 years, but in fact, the efficacy of the medicine is far from enough, and if it is used to save lives, it may harm others and yourself. Song Pingcun changed his thinking and replied in a mortal way.
The person who brought the ginseng was very surprised, although he also knew that the age of this ginseng was insufficient, but he did not expect it to be so short. Somewhat incredulous, he asked, "Are you sure it's only two years?" ”
"It's absolutely true, and the number of two years is still an imaginary number, if calculated according to the emergence time, it will be about a few months."
"Ahh The man exclaimed, "Isn't this the same as a turnip!" You can see it. ”
"If you don't believe me, I can't help it. But it's very simple to experiment with the efficacy, just find a rabbit and try it. If the rabbit is fine if it is eaten, what I say is true. If the rabbit suddenly soars after eating, it is at least more than ten years, if it is a hundred years of ginseng, the rabbit will definitely die. ”
