Chapter 195: Encounter
The next day, the White Tiger God ate the barbecue carefully prepared by Weidiya and drank the steaming wild vegetable chicken soup. Although it tasted good, in the last few days, every meal has been meat, either roast or stew, and occasionally wild vegetables and wild fruits, and he has long been tired of eating them. He is now a frightened bird, and when he goes to the bazaar to exchange things, he travels discreetly and masked. The seasonings and spices used in the barbecue were all exchanged for Weidiya when he went to the border market last time, and he also discounted the hands and feet of a few rogue hooligans who followed him. If it weren't for the fear of killing people to attract attention, with his old temper, he would have dismantled those hooligans a long time ago. He was secretly angry in his heart: a bunch of garbage! The trick is not a little brighter, and even the woman of the gang leader dares to provoke. The tiger is not powerful, you and I am a sick cat?
After eating the barbecue and broth, the White Tiger God wiped his mouth: "I went hunting." Together, you go to the nearest market to exchange some or buy some rice and noodles and come back. Don't try to escape, if I find out, I'll skin you and eat your flesh. Extract your souls and refine them into ghosts, so that you will never be able to live beyond the ages!"
The plump and mellow Weidiya and the slender and enchanting Marika were so frightened that they quickly kowtowed and said, "White Tiger God! We are loyal to you and have no second hearts! If you want us to go east, we dare not go west!"
The mighty and majestic White Tiger God said, "Very good, as long as you are obedient and serve me well." When my skills are restored, we can make a comeback, and when the time comes, we can eat and drink spicy food, fine wine, silk and satin, and jewelry for you to choose from. But not everyone can have such an opportunity, you have to cherish it, don't let me down?"
After the White Tiger God finished speaking, he took a long knife, a quiver on his back, picked up a bow and rope, and walked out.
Weidiya and Marika, re-roast hot roasted meat, boil broth. This is still learned from the cook lady from Middle-earth, saying that raw, cold and greasy food is easy to eat bad stomach, causing diarrhea, and high temperature can kill a lot of germs, disease from the mouth, eat and drink hygienic, and wash hands before eating! Sure enough, after doing so, there are many fewer people with diarrhea in the gang this year than in previous years. Because of the tangible examples, the gang members have also become more hygienic, especially the top leaders of the gang.
Weidiya and Marika, after eating breakfast, finished cleaning up the dishes. After looking outside the wooden house for a while, I saw that there was no figure of the White Tiger God. They began to talk in a whisper.
Marika asked, "Sister, you said yesterday that you accidentally found the demon beast he killed becoming his subordinate, but what evidence do you have?"
Wei Diya said: "That's a wolf demon, the corner of the right eye was slashed by someone else, leaving a scar that grew downward. And his right-hand man, Wolf Fang, a dog-legged man who wears sunglasses all day long, accidentally dropped his sunglasses once, and I found that their scars were exactly the same shape!"
Marika was taken aback and asked, "So, it may be that the White Tiger God instructed the wolf demon to kill your father, and then appeared in the way of a hero saving beauty, pretending to kill the wolf demon, and slept with you." Now that you've discovered that he's your father's killer, why commit yourself to serving him?"
"I've been looking for his weaknesses, learning from his skills, and looking for opportunities. But the more I got to know him, the more I realized that his power was immense, and that recklessness would only lead to self-destruction. I can only be patient and wait for the moment. Fortunately, God has eyes, they were besieged and fled in embarrassment. Now that his temper is getting more and more cloudy, and he still looks at us with the eyes of food, I guess we don't have much time left. That's when I told you everything. ”
Marika said excitedly: "As soon as I heard you, I also remembered. The rat demon who chased and killed my mother that day was knocked away by him with a slap and died of blood spitting from his mouth. The rat demon is in line with the image of the main tip of the third rudder. No wonder he wears a long tall hat, I still think he has an ugly face. In this way, he is our father's and mother's enemy!"
Wei Diya said: "Sister, we are not his opponents combined, he also has powerful ghosts. If we want to take revenge, we can only think in the long run, and you must not show his feet and let him see the flaws. Let's hurry up and get something, otherwise we will come back late and be beaten and scolded by him again. ”
Marika said, "Okay, sister, let's go." The two men took their prey furs, sacks of burlap, and some coins, and walked out of the hut and hurried to the nearest market.
Seeing that there was no one around, Marika asked, "Sister, why should we follow him with fear? We can run far away, and when we have practiced our supernatural powers, we will come back to clean him up." ”
Widiya pricked up her fingers and whispered in her ear, "Shhhh His nose is so powerful that he can judge his territory and determine the direction of his prey. And his ghost is also good for searching for enemies. He is most familiar with our breath, and it is unlikely that we will escape his sphere of influence. ”
Marika began to become sullen, and Weidiya hurriedly persuaded her: "Sister, you must adjust your mentality as soon as possible. Don't let him see the flaws, or we'll die an ugly death. ”
Marika smiled wryly, "Sister, I'm dragging you down." Do you think I'm a waste? Am I a strange insect? I can't take care of my family, and I can't make a career. I can't do the housework well, and I can't do the work well!"
Wei Diya comforted: "Sister, don't feel sorry for yourself. At least until you take revenge, you have to pick yourself up. You're just pampered. Moreover, due to the domestic environment, we women can only rely on the strong, as vases, as slaves, and as tools for giving birth to children. As you go through it, you'll learn a lot of skills. Haven't you learned how to cook now? As long as you study hard, you will gradually learn a lot of skills. ”
Marika said, "Thank you, sister, for your enlightenment! Now that I'm in a much better mood, let's speed up." Otherwise, if you go late, a lot of good things will be picked up by others. ”
The two women entered the bazaar and walked through the busy streets, first going to the fur shop to sell their furs. The shopkeeper saw that the two girls were dressed luxuriously, and thought they were the master servants of the rich and noble.
Weidia didn't speak, and it was Marika, who had the lighter skin, who was in charge. Although the caste system has been abolished in the country of Gaoshan, the deep-rooted beliefs that have been formed over thousands of years cannot be changed all at once. Whether it is the emancipated lower caste or the egalitarian high caste, there is still an invisible caste wall in their hearts that has not been pushed to it. Coupled with the knowledge and resource monopolies of the upper castes, it may take decades to achieve true equality for all.
Marika asked, "Boss, this is the fur that my servant hunted, if you look closely, they are all fine furs." The most rare thing is that the whole sheet is intact, undamaged, and the fur is shiny, soft and warm, and it will definitely make a good leather coat or scarf. ”
The fat-headed, big-eared, shrewd boss said: "Miss! Your servant is really brave! This fur is good, but we are a tropical country, and it is not cold in winter, and few people wear fur! Although it is said that you can buy it at a high price in Middle-earth, Omoco, Franco, Depp and other countries, but the distance is long, and the long-distance pipe is heavy, and it is not something that I can do as a small businessman. We just collect fur, make a difference, and support our families. ”
Marika made a gesture to leave, and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Tell me your price, and if I am satisfied, I will sell it to you, otherwise I will have to sell it to the other two." ”
The fat-headed and big-eared boss said, "Miss, don't worry! We will definitely give the highest purchase price in this town." Two wolf skins, one 200 Chinese Turkish coin, three fox skins, one 300 Chinese Turkish coins, ten dog skins, 20 Chinese Turkish coins, 30 rabbit skins, and 20 Chinese Turkish coins, a total of 2,100 yuan. ”
Marika asked, "Why is it that wolf skins are bigger than fox skins and less expensive than fox skins?"
The fat-headed and big-eared boss said: "Because things are scarce and expensive." In the Alpine Country, foxes are protected animals, especially spiritual foxes. Now we can still play a side game, saying that there are foxes that no one has adopted in the wild, and when the situation stabilizes, it is estimated that there will be fewer and fewer foxes that can be hunted. ”
Marika asked again: "Aren't dogs also protected animals in the Heavenly Power Demon Country, why is the price of dog skins so low?"
Fat-headed and big-eared boss: "It's not worth it because there are too many dogs!" There are about 1 billion dogs in the world, which is more than the population of many countries. Among them, there are more than 200 million dogs in the Middle Earth Kingdom, more than 100 million in the Indu Kingdom, and about 100 million in the Tianquan Demon Kingdom. So dogs are worthless!" Then the boss smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice: "But the dog demon is valuable, and it is full of treasures! If you can hunt it, we will definitely buy it at a high price." ”
Weidiya made a color, and Marika nodded: "Okay! Boss, for the sake of the news you finally revealed to us, I'll sell it to you!"
The fat-headed and big-eared boss smiled and said, "Don't worry! You will sell it to me, and you will never suffer a loss." I still want to do business with you for a long time! You can go to the other two and ask them, they will definitely not pay more than me. And sometimes they collect it, sometimes they don't, it's like we have a stable customer, and we have to buy it all year round! Give you this two thousand one hundred yuan in earth coins. You count it in person and make sure it's correct. I won't admit it when I leave the store! It's an unwritten rule!"
Marika shakes the paper, listens to the sound, looks at the photo-changing ink numbers, looks at the watermark portrait, touches the engraving indentations, looks at the offset printing numbers, and looks at the white watermark. First confirm that it is genuine, and then click on the quantity. After confirming that it was correct, she smiled, "That's right." Happy cooperation!" Then he turned around and walked out of the store with Weidia.
The fat-headed and big-eared boss said in the back: "Slow down, two! Welcome to come back next time." ”
Marika and Widia turned a few corners to the farmer's market and started shopping.
The two of them picked and chose and quickly bought rice, flour, vegetable oil, sauce, vinegar, salt, tea, spices, spices, milk, and curry. They put their heads on their shoulders and began their journey home. Because of the cost savings and the fact that no one else would find out where they lived, they did not take the car.
As soon as Marika and Widia walked out of the farmer's market, they were followed by a few ruffians (liu).
Marika said to herself: "These scumbags! The dog can't change eating shit, and wants to bully us two single women again." We're not weak women, wait until there's no one in the suburbs, and see how we clean you up!"
She was distracted by how to deal with the ruffians who were following behind, so she didn't pay attention to the street environment, and her clothes hung on the table of a Taoist priest who set up a fortune teller. Pulling the table forward, she stumbled and fell forward. A breeze swept past her. The basin with the grain and jars on his head flew out of his hand. She fell to the ground, her heart full of despair: I am really stupid! I have broken the spices and spices, and I have polluted the food! I will definitely be beaten and scolded by the gang leader again when I go back.
Marika fell on the ground and sobbed, and after a while, she didn't hear the sound of a heavy object falling on the ground. She looked up and saw the tall and thin Taoist priest who told fortunes, holding the basin with one hand. The basin stood firmly in the air, not a single grain of grain was scattered, and not a single bottle or jar containing cooking oil, spices, and spices was broken.
Marika wiped away her tears and said in her heart: "It's so fast! This Taoist priest is good at kung fu!"
Tao Yuan, a tall and thin Taoist priest, said gently: "Miss, get up! It's cold on the ground, and it's easy to get sick after a long time!"
