The old-fashioned grocery store is littered with all sorts of things, and even outside the house there are things on sale, from brooms made of silver needles and grass to soup scoops made of Reiji wood,......

A torn pennant reads: Old fritter grocery store.

Compared with those stores with luxuriously decorated storefronts and carved wooden plaques, this is really a veritable grocery store, quite a feeling of being forgotten in the corner of history, standing here, and then looking at the grocery store with no decoration at all, Ji Feng always has a feeling of traveling through time and space, as if he has seen history.

"We don't take any credit!"

The owner is an old man who is hunched over and sorting out his belongings, and his snow-white hair reveals a little vicissitudes. Even though Ji Feng and Brother Hao were already standing at the door of the store, he didn't look back, but lightly dropped such a sentence.

"Who said I was here to buy something?" Brother Hao scolded the old man unceremoniously, it seemed that the relationship between the two was very good.

"If you don't buy anything at the grocery store, it's like if you don't go to the toilet in a thatched house, what are you going to do?" The shopkeeper's metaphor really played a good role, and it made Ji Feng laugh.

Hearing the laughter, the shopkeeper slowly turned around, looked at Ji Feng with a little surprise, and then asked with a smile on his face, "What do you want to buy?"

"Hehe, I want a map of barren mountains. Ji Feng said politely to the shopkeeper, but he could obviously see that the shopkeeper's surprise was very fake, and as long as there was no problem with the shopkeeper's eyes, or no problem with his hearing, then the shopkeeper should have discovered Ji Feng a long time ago, why did he show surprise at this moment?

"I'm old! My eyes are blurry, and my ears can't hear clearly. The shopkeeper's words seemed to be responding to Ji Feng's thoughts, and he was probably explaining the surprise just now, "What did you just say?"

"Old deaf, he wants to buy a map of the barren mountains. Brother Hao approached the shopkeeper and shouted loudly.

"The picture of the barren mountain? Is the barren mountain a celebrity? Only small utensils are sold, not pictures of celebrities. If you want to buy a picture, please go to another house. "The shopkeeper's interruption is quite round, and it is really flawless.

"I'm going to buy shit for you! I mean he's going to buy wasteland...... Mountain...... Earth...... Fig. Brother Hao repeated the previous words word by word in front of the shopkeeper, and at the end he did not forget to add, "Did you hear clearly? It's a map, a map!"

"I heard, I wasn't blind, I was just deaf. The shopkeeper scolded Brother Hao fiercely. Then he smiled at Ji Feng and said, "You want a barren mountain map?"

"Hmm!" Ji Feng also deliberately raised his voice, so as not to repeat it desperately like Brother Hao.

"Come with me. ”

The shopkeeper said to Ji Feng as he walked, "This map is not cheap!" When he walked to the grocery store, the shopkeeper pointed to the four crooked characters written on the wall with a brush and said, "In addition, this store does not take credit." ”

"As long as the map is worth buying. Money is not a problem. "Ji Feng does have enough gold coins to buy this map, and the 100,000 gold coins he asked for from Xiangchen at the beginning are still as much as 70,000," Of course. The owner's map, but to ensure accuracy, don't let me follow the map, and then get lost. ”

"Accuracy is guaranteed. But don't tell me, the problem is that there is no money. The shopkeeper began to search the mountains for a map of the barren mountains in the mountains of goods.

Boom!

The shopkeeper's flipping action is slightly larger. The stacked goods lost their balance and all crashed to the ground, and the whole grocery store, which was already a mess, is now even more chaotic.

"Where did I put it? I remember it was placed in the middle of the Compendium of Materia Medica!" The shopkeeper rummaged around, and the goods were getting more and more chaotic.

"Then if you find the Compendium of Materia Medica, won't you find the map of barren mountains?" Ji Feng said.

The shopkeeper threw the round iron pot heavily on the ground, continued to flip the shelves, and naturally continued to throw things, answering Ji Feng as he threw it, "The key is that I can't find the Compendium of Materia Medica now." ”

Khan! Very sweaty!

Ji Feng suddenly wondered if this demented old man really had a barren mountain map? Even if there were, would the barren mountain map still be a map with high accuracy? In addition, could I trust that map?

But compared to not having a map, it would be better to have a map after all, and in the end he still had to induce the shopkeeper's thinking, "Shopkeeper, can you think about it, when you stored the Compendium of Materia Medica, did anything appear around you?"

Usually forgotten memories are like things threaded with fishing lines, forgetting, it's just that those things are sunk in the water, but as long as you find that fishing line, pull it hard, all the memories will naturally emerge, which is naturally the reason why Ji Feng keeps using words to induce the shopkeeper to recall what happened.

"Hmm...... I think about it!" the shopkeeper gently scratched his hair, then snapped ake, "it seems to be ...... It's a pampas fan. I remember that someone came to buy a fan, and then I clipped the map to the Compendium of Materia Medica. ”

"Where's the reed fan?"

"Forgot!"

The shopkeeper's words made Ji Feng's hope that he had finally ignited shattered in an instant, and Ji Feng, who was also angry, almost went crazy, and asked through gritted teeth: "Shopkeeper, did you lose the map?"

"Nonsense! That map is a must-have for getting in and out of the barren mountains. I spent a lot of money to get the details of each location from the mercenary groups in and out of the barren mountains, and asked them to draw a map for me simply, and in the end, it took me three months to compile the sketches of each mercenary group into a full-fledged map. The most important thing is that I will update and upgrade the map every six months to ensure that the location of the phantom beasts marked on the map is always real. The shopkeeper narrated the origin of the barren mountain map for Ji Feng in detail, and naturally explained why his barren mountain map was expensive, and of course, more importantly, he told Ji Feng that he would not lose the barren mountain map.

It's just, now it's - forgot!

"I haven't read anything, don't lie to me. Ji Feng didn't seem to understand what the shopkeeper was telling, and of course, he didn't doubt the accuracy of the map so much.

Bang dang!

The shopkeeper tore all the iron pots on the shelves directly, but in the end he still didn't find them, and now he began to turn to other shelves, and this grocery store has no place to settle down at this time, and it is even more chaotic than Fei Guo's studio.

"Shopkeeper, you are thinking about whether there were things or people around you who had a deep memory when you gave your pu reed fan to other people. Ji Feng continued to induce the shopkeeper to recall.

"The things that are remembered the most, the things that are remembered the most...... It's a bowl of my favorite braised fat sausage......" Saying this, the shopkeeper rushed out of the grocery store angrily, pointed directly at Brother Hao's nose and said, "But I was stolen by this bitch, and when I thought of it, I trembled with anger." ”

"What happened a month ago, you old deaf, do you still remember?" Brother Hao looked at the shopkeeper in surprise.

"It's still fresh in my memory!" cried the shopkeeper indignantly.

"Shopkeeper, why do you remember the braised fat sausage so well?I don't think it should be just because the braised fat sausage is the shopkeeper's favorite!" Ji Feng asked with a little curiosity, of course, his purpose was also to draw out the barren mountain map.

"Because of the fat intestine itself. The fat sausage in our Huabeicheng is the best-selling, and the long one is in short supply, and it can't be bought at all when it's late. That day, it was my birthday, the old woman in order to celebrate my birthday, I got up early, and when the sky was bright, I went to the vegetable market to buy fat sausages, but on the way home, I was hit by this dog cub, and then the fat intestines were scattered on the ground, this dog cub, actually did not help the old woman pick up fat intestines, and ran away. The shopkeeper pointed at Brother Hao's nose and scolded sharply, "The most infuriating thing is that he dared to come to my shop and eat all the fat intestines while I was bringing Pu Wei fans to others." You say, can I forget such an angry thing?"

"I'm shitting you! I scared the shit at the time! Damn, the sky was bright, and I suddenly bumped into an old woman, just about to see which old woman was so blind, and dared to hit me, who knew that when I turned my face, I saw her picking up intestines. I almost scared off two souls of three souls, I didn't even settle accounts with you, but you hated me. Speaking of this, Brother Hao was also very excited, and he thought he had seen a ghost that day.

"You bitch...... shopkeeper immediately shouted when he heard that Brother Hao was scolding his wife.

"Brother Hao didn't see her face clearly, but she seemed to know Brother Hao's identity clearly, why?" Ji Feng had a slight doubt.

"His smell is the best ID card. "The shopkeeper said that, but he didn't actually dislike the smell emanating from Brother Hao's body, and he wouldn't have stood here for so long.

"And what's next?" Ji Feng continued to ask the shopkeeper.

"The old woman is more than eighty years old, and after being hit by this dog cub, a black blue appeared on her chest, so I picked up the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and prepared to find medicinal materials for her......" The shopkeeper said here, and immediately closed his voice, and then hurried to the deepest part of the grocery store, and found the "Compendium of Materia Medica" under the recipe, and naturally found the barren mountain map from it, "Aha, finally found it for me." ”

Barren mountain map, is with a fine carving knife slowly carved on the cowhide, after all, the toughness of the cowhide is better than the sheepskin, suitable for long-term recycling, and after special treatment of the cowhide, in terms of preservation is also absolutely good, finally, with the ink that does not melt in the water to the map a little bit of color, so that the whole map is completed.

It's easy to say, but with exquisite carving technology, it is enough to become a stunt: the mountain stone is engraved so precisely, and the flowing water and ancient wood are even more distinct.

And the fine density is also quite good, basically everywhere is marked with the infestation of phantom beasts, and even some places are rich in what fruits are engraved on the cowhide, which is really a good thing.

"What does this green mean?" Ji Feng asked, pointing to the slightly weird green dot on the map. (To be continued......)
