Chapter Eighty-Three: Sweet Spring City
Gu Shiyi smiled and nodded,
"How much silver is this knife?"
The blacksmith grinned and gestured a finger,
"One hundred taels!"
"What?"
Gu Shiyi's eyes widened,
"One hundred taels, why don't you grab it?"
A hundred taels of silver! You will touch your mouth up and down, and a hundred taels of silver is enough for me to catch many evil cults!
That's a desperate fight with your head!
The blacksmith was not angry, but laughed,
"Ninety-nine catties of fine iron, my Lao Jia's product must be a high-quality product, look at this blade!"
Gu Shiyi decisively put down the knife in his hand,
"Buy cheap and heavy!"
Old Jia blacksmith thought for a moment and pointed to the corner,
"That cheap, it was the last knife my father built before he died in the early years, and it was heavy enough, but maybe it was the last few years of his old man's house, his strength was poor, and the heat was also worse...... Let's see for yourself! ”
Gu Shiyi took a look over and saw that this knife was similar in style to a firewood knife, it could be said to be a firewood knife, it was too heavy, and ordinary people couldn't use it, and it had been left for a long time, it was covered with ash, Gu Shiyi took it in his hand and checked it, and found that the weight was quite appropriate, and said secretly in his heart,
"Anyway, it's used to refine the body, the important thing is to practice moves, what does it matter if the knife is good or not?"
So he asked,
"How much silver?"
Lao Jia thought about it and stretched out a finger, Gu Shiyi's eyes widened,
"This also costs a hundred taels of silver?"
"No, ten taels of silver!"
Ten taels of silver, this price is acceptable!
However, Gu Shiyi was still not satisfied, and bargained with him for a while, successfully talked about eight taels of silver, and then took the firewood knife and left.
Lao Jia smiled and sent Gu Shiyi out of the door, and when the people were far away, he said to himself,
"At the beginning, I didn't know what my father was crazy about, he made such a knife, and pressed it in the shop for so many years, I still can't sell it, I didn't expect that there would really be a fool to buy it!"
If he hears this, he will jump out of the grave and slap him in the mouth.
"Idiot, that's when Lao Tzu got a guest to give him the Outer Dark Iron, and kept a little bit to build it, should you be so good at forging the Outer Dark Iron, it is already Lao Tzu's best effort to make it like this, you ...... You have eyes and don't know what is inlaid with gold and jade, but you sold it for ten taels of silver, you're a loser! You wait...... I'm looking for you in the middle of the night! ”
Gu Shiyi naturally didn't know that Lao Jia blacksmith had returned to his childhood for several nights in a row, and was beaten several times by his own Lao Tzu in his dream, and the day after she bought the firewood knife, she set off with the third lady of the Wang family.
Because the king was in a hurry to marry his daughter, the dowry was ready-made, and although he thought that his daughter had damaged her reputation, she was still distressed by her own flesh and blood, so she added a dowry of thirty percent, so when the dowry was brought out of Xiaoyue Nunnery, it was also a mighty ten-mile red makeup.
Gu Shiyi was arranged to sit in the carriage behind the third lady, the third lady was married by one of her cousins, and the parents gave her a wedding that day, and the bride cried into tears, not to mention the scene of shedding tears with her parents.
Gu Shiyi sat in the carriage, but felt that his nose was slightly sour, Li Yan'er leaned on the window and watched, remembering the only wedding in his life, and thinking of his parents in that world was also indescribable.
Envy!
She's so envious!
She is not like Gu Shiyi who envy Miss Wang for being able to marry, she is envious of Miss San's love for her parents, at least when she marries far away, her parents are really worried about her and sad for parting!
And she, she has never gotten her closest relatives, even a little love!
The red fox also looked sour,
"Boom...... My dead husband, we've only been married for a month! ”
Although the orcs don't pay attention to this, it's the same to get married!
It's not out of January, and she's still a bride!
This depreciation is too fast, and she will become a widow in a month!
The three female creatures just lay on the window and watched, each with their own thoughts, when the old monk appeared in the corner of the carriage and sat cross-legged.
"Amitabha! The three donors, the worldly love is difficult, everything is suffering, it is better to enter my Buddhism......"
"Shut up!"
The three of them turned around and shouted in unison.
What do you old monk know, honestly recite your Buddhist scriptures!
The convoy of the wedding was so rickety on the road, the convoy was to take an inland boat to the city of horses, and then turn into the colorful river to Wansha Prefecture, the same path as when Gu Shiyi came.
They first went to Pony City by land, because the convoy was slow, they had to walk by land for a month, Gu Shiyi was not in a hurry, they could eat and drink with the convoy, before and after everyone, everyone called Gu Xiaomaster, where is it bad?
And since the third lady of the Wang family was rescued by Gu Shiyi, she was a little closer to Gu Shiyi, and when the carriage stopped to rest, she often invited Gu Shiyi to come over and talk.
Although Gu Shiyi said that he was dressed as a man to the outside world, but after all, he was a cultivator, and everyone had no objection to them getting along alone, but Gu Shiyi thought that the third lady was a married person, and her reputation could not be bad, so she often invited the third lady's cousin, Wang Dagongzi to talk together, and the three of them were often together, sometimes I heard Gu Shiyi talk about what he had seen and heard when he walked the rivers and lakes, and Wang Dagongzi talked about the story when he was studying, only Miss Wang San was a boudoir woman, and she was bored in the boudoir, and there was nothing to say. However, I will take out some of the short things I heard about in the parents, these two are also very smiling and listening, so the three of them get along well, and after a long time, they are not called Xiao Gu's master, one is called Eleven Brothers, the other is called Eleven Brothers, and Gu Shiyi is called Brother Wang, the third sister, very affectionate.
In this way, he also arrived at the Pony City safely, and stayed at the inn that had been booked in advance, and the eldest brother of the Wang family went to Bishuimen to discuss the boat in the Pony City.
Gu Shiyi followed Miss San to visit the Pony City, all the rich ladies in the world can't go shopping without a buy, buy and buy, Miss Wang San is the same, she didn't want to marry far away, but she hated her father and mother ruthlessly, and wanted to marry her to someone she had never met, she had cried several times on the day of her wedding, and although she was better later, she was still very depressed.
If a woman wants to relieve depression, the best thing is to buy and buy, Miss Wang San took the rich dowry given by her parents, and swept a street of goods in this horse city, Gu Shiyi and the girls and guards behind her were all empty-handed.
Gu Shiyi was holding five boxes of pastries in his left hand, and three exquisite brocades in his right hand, secretly envious,
"It's good to be a big lady, a man has been set since he was a child, and he is never bad for money!"
Of course, she can do it, but she just thinks about it, but she has never regretted leaving the Gu family!
When they returned to the inn, the eldest brother of the Wang family had finished his business, and when he saw the two of them returning, he said to them,
"The price has been negotiated, and we can leave tomorrow!"
The Wang family has silver, naturally rich and generous to charter a whole ship, the next day they packed up their things and boarded the ship, the voyage after boarding the ship was very smooth, Gu Shiyi accompanied the eldest brother of the Wang family and the third lady to eat and drink during the day, talking and laughing, at night in the cabin to practice their three-plate axe, but also re-engaged in the old business to tell fortunes to everyone on the ship, but what people didn't expect was that the old monk was also proficient in this way, so Gu Shiyi was in front of the stage, and Li Yan'er and the old monk were working in the back, ten counts nine spirits, All the people on the ship were full of praise for this little master Gu's ability.
And the red fox has now become a pet of the ship, nothing stays in the cabin, only fools around in the cabin of the guards, girls, and mothers-in-law, and comes back with a round belly every day, it especially loves to go to the girls' rooms during the day, but goes to the cabins of the guards at night, and comes back to talk to Gu Shiyi about those young and strong guards, all of them are from a practicing family, the eight-piece abdominal muscles, the bronze complexion, the bony muscles, and even it can go into the bath room, that is really a feast for the eyes, and it is said that Gu Shiyi has a lot of money, The red fox is envious and jealous to the extreme, but the red fox is simple-minded, and he clearly tells himself not to offend the gold owner's father, but he has nothing to do and stimulates the gold owner's father bluntly.
For example
"You see it in vain, and you can't touch it!"
"What do you say, don't you sleep more at night if you talk too much?"
"You'll look for a man in the future, right...... You're thirty years old, can you still find a man? ”
The red fox is cheap, and the party made Gu Shiyi want to smoke it, if Li Yan'er hadn't stopped it, it would have turned into a scarf around Gu Shiyi's neck!
Just when Gu Shiyi thought that such days would last until Miss Wang arrived at her in-law's house, their ship arrived in Ganquan City, Wansha Prefecture.
As the name suggests, 60% of the land in Wansa is a vast desert, and 80% of the state's population is concentrated in 40% of the land, which is a place with water sources and oases.
And this Ganquan City is the most famous one, there are two springs in this city, one big and one small, the big spring has a radius of five zhang, among which there is a steady stream of clear spring flowing out all the year round to form a small lake, which is the drinking water of all the people in the city, and that small spring, there is a square circle, the clear water flowing out of it has its own sweet taste, only the dignitaries and cultivators in the city can drink.
These two springs have been around day and night for thousands of years, nurturing a famous city in Wansha Prefecture.
Gu Shiyi has never been here, so as soon as the boat arrives at the dock, she is also very active to follow Miss Wang Jiasan to get off the boat and wander, although this Ganquan City is located in the hinterland of the desert, but the city is full of small rivers, all of which lead the water of the big spring to flow through the front of each household, and the residents of the city can take water to drink, and there is another river dedicated to collect sewage and discharge it into the desert outside the city.
Therefore, after Gu Shiyi and Miss Wang San entered the city, all they saw were rivers and rivers, and they could go down the stairs to get water along the river, and there was a stone bridge across the river after three or five hundred steps.
