Chapter 313: Tea Shop (Second Watch)
Qin Ke heard Gao Yishui say this sentence neither yin nor yang, and his face turned red.
It was only in the casual conversation with Gao Yishui later that he learned that in fact, fierce beast teeth are not uncommon in Jiujiang City, the Great Wall lives in the bitter cold land of the northwest, which is not rich enough, and if it cannot trade with the outside world, it will only become more barren over the years.
The tooth and bone products of the beast are considered a special product of the Great Wall, although the number of fixed sales on the Great Wall every year is not too much, but it will never be as small as the merchant said, but it needs to be introduced by a specific person to buy it on the black market.
The price of a fierce beast tooth on the black market is one tael of silver and five pieces, which is still expensive compared to fine iron or bronze arrow clusters, and the number is not enough, so the Jing Wu military has never bought this kind of thing in large quantities, basically in a specific circle, as a plaything.
And Qin Ke's two taels of silver can only buy one fierce beast tooth, which is equivalent to making a big loss-making transaction.
Qin Ke said helplessly: "Then how do I know, the first time I went to Jiujiang City, I happened to have another bow on my back, so I bought it." ”
In fact, there is another reason, that is, he was used to being a poor ghost in the countryside, and suddenly he had Zhuge Wanling, or ...... Suddenly, with the financial resources of the entire Jing Wu as the backing, it is inevitable that he will be a little fluttering and want to spend a lot of money.
It's just that he's big-handed...... Compared with the children of the scholars in Jianye City...... Still looks very shabby......
If only the uncles and uncles in Daoxiang Village were here. He thought so in his heart, but he didn't want to show luxury in front of those villagers, he just wanted them to go to Jiujiang City, Jianye City or Ding'an City once, and go to those restaurants that were as beautiful as the Heavenly Palace, so that they could eat a dish that they couldn't imagine on weekdays.
Cai Yan stroked the fierce beast tooth tied to the arrow, and his eyes showed a bit of yearning: "Its shape is like a sheep, a human face, tiger teeth and human hands, the blood demon saliva is highly poisonous, and the night demon likes to raid at night, moving like lightning...... When I was a child, I always thought that these were monsters that adults scare children, but when I grew up, I realized that there really seemed to be such a thing on the side of the Great Wall, but I never saw what it looked like, and I heard that their eyes grew under their armpits, so how do they see things?"
"I'd love to see it. She really said this sentence that made Qin Ke feel a headache, maybe it was because she had been locked up at home for a long time, and now that she was out of the "cage", she really wanted to see everything, everywhere.
For Qin Ke, if he can not go to the Great Wall in his life, he will not go to the Great Wall, he does not want to see the spectacular scene of fierce beasts like a tide, and they spray a fishy breath, towards the eight-zhang high city wall, frantically picking at the brick cracks and climbing upward.
But maybe he really has to go there in the future, and the artifacts are scattered all over the place, maybe the Great Wall has one of them......
Even, it may be in the hands of that heroic General Mulan.
Gao Yishui said generously: "If you want to see it, I went to the Great Wall three years ago, but unfortunately I couldn't see the terrifying scene of the fierce beast attacking the city, but I also saw the corpse of the fierce beast, and the eyes were indeed under the armpits." The people of the Great Wall said that it was a 'scout' of the army of fierce beasts, and sure enough, not long after I left the Great Wall, I heard that two fierce beasts were attacking the Great Wall day and night. It is estimated that it was also because of the difficulty of winning that battle, so the Great Wall sent envoys to ask for help from various countries, and finally ...... Went to Jingwu. ”
Abu knows a lot about this matter, and during the time when he went south to Wu County, he also had a long time of contact with Mulan, and he admired Mulan and sighed: "General Mulan, it's really admirable, I heard that she joined the army when she was a teenager, and at that time it was estimated that I was still herding cattle for people, and what I thought about every day was how to make the cattle and sheep full and make myself full...... And General Mulan is already fighting for the peace of the world. ”
Gao Yishui does not refute this matter, the Mu family is indeed the shield of the world, and they have lived in the Great Wall for a long time for I don't know how many generations, in terms of combat power, the Great Wall Army has fought with fierce beasts for many years, and has never slackened, and has already developed a terrible fighting instinct, even if it is those barbarian armies in the sea, it will be more losses and fewer wins when it clashes with the Great Wall Army on the battlefield.
But he was interested in something else, he poked Abu with his elbow, and a somewhat lewd smile appeared on his face: "Eh, that's right. I've heard of your tall general...... When I was young, I left home and went north to the Great Wall, and I was a general for a few months, and I ...... with that Mulan Do you know about this thing?"
Abu looked at Gao Yishui stupidly, and suddenly didn't swallow a mouthful of saliva, and coughed violently.
"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem......" The violent cough made him shed two lines of tears, and his face suddenly turned red.
"How could I know about such a thing?" Finally, he finally stopped coughing and gasped: "I never dare to ask about Brother Changgong's private affairs." ”
Gao Yishui pursed his lips and pointed: "So...... I said Abu, you can't, no wonder you couldn't bring that Chan'er girl back, look at the people's Ah Ke......" He was about to point his finger at Cai Yan, Qin Ke immediately kicked him like a rooster and crowed "oh oh oh".
Batum is indeed a good hunter born and bred, as evidenced by the fact that he doesn't even have to stop to make his way in the jungle.
The barbarians who grew up on the edge of this mountain range, they entered the mountain range like a long-born child returning to their mother's womb, and they were very familiar with everything here. Tree shadows, mushrooms, and other things are the best indicators in his eyes.
After some time, they saw a pine tree that had been broken by lightning, and Batum walked up to it, knelt down with great reverence, muttered something in his mouth, and cut off a small piece of meat from his roe deer and placed it in front of the pine tree.
Gao Yishui explained: "He is kneeling down to worship the gods, they are very afraid of the thunder, thinking that this is the wrath of the gods, as long as they see such a tree, even if there is less prey, they have to cut a small piece as an offering, otherwise it is disrespectful to the gods." ”
Cai Yan looked at Batum's tiger's back and bear's waist, he kowtowed like a silly bear, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, she naturally didn't believe in the barbarians' so-called gods, but it didn't mean that she wouldn't be in awe.
At least in the eyes of her father Cai Yong, everything in this world is for people to do pragmatically, if everything is begging for the charity of a god who doesn't even know that there exists, how can people succeed?
"The tea shop is not far away. Gao Yishui listened to what Batum said when he stood up, and said, "There is about a quarter of an hour to go." ”
Several people were in high spirits, and there were a little smiles on their faces.
Being able to approach the location of the tea shop so quickly, Batum, the guide, naturally contributed a lot, and Batum also explained to Gao Yishui seriously on the way: "When you get to the tea shop later, you should be respectful to the owner of the tea shop, he is the messenger of the gods, if he is angry, we will be like the tree just now." ”
Gao Yishui looked at Batum with a smile and said, "The messenger of the gods, do you want to use thunder to slash me?" ”
However, when a few people saw the tea shop from a distance, they found that this tea shop was not as "majestic", "solemn" and "sacred" as Batum said......
The crooked pine trees supported the tea shed with withered grass, but it could not block some of the sunlight that shone through the cracks, and they were mottled on the table made of logs, and small insects slowly wriggled on it.
The simple table had not been painted at all, the stools were all stakes of some logs, and even Qin Ke could see one or two hares at a glance, hiding under the chairs and leisurely gnawing on the weeds.
Even if it is a real god, this god is probably a poor bastard in the sky, right?
If it weren't for the curling smoke rising from the chimney of the thatched house, Qin Ke would really think that this dilapidated house would have been abandoned long ago.
At this moment, it was close to noon, and there were still a few barbarians sitting on the table and muttering something, but they rarely maintained a little stability and restraint, and even for the "prey" at their feet, the rabbit, they did not have the slightest idea of being rude.
Qin Ke didn't see Lu Ming and the others, nor did he see horses stopping around the tea shop.
"Let's go first. Gao Yishui came out from behind the big tree, thought about it and smiled: "There is a saying that the boat will naturally ...... to the bridge."
