Chapter 61: The Village Settles In
[I received a notice that I will be on the Sanjiang recommendation list next week! This seems to be the first time! In order to celebrate, I decided to watch two shifts a day next week, hehe, starting from Monday and ending on Sunday.
In addition, thank you for the generous reward from 'Towering Dewdrops'!
"This is a fifth-order demon core, right?"
Xiao Ye's shopkeeper didn't know where to find out a pair of white muslin gloves and put them on his hand, and then gently pinched the darkest color and the most agile looking magic core and carefully observed it in the light coming in from the door of the store.
"It should be, but isn't it up to you to decide this?"
Lin Shu's answer seemed a little stupid, but he directly pointed out a fact, the shopkeeper Xiaoye glanced at Lin Shu in surprise, but just saw Lin Shu's clear eyes, and couldn't help but be a little confused, is this person simple?
But depending on the age, it can't be the latter anyway, right? But the shopkeeper Xiaoye is well-informed, there is no one in the rivers and lakes, a child of this age may not be the old rivers and lakes, the shopkeeper Xiaoye has seen a younger thief, but he has been stealing for ten years, that is called a slippery!
It's just that this young man's eyes are too clean, even an old fox who has accumulated years of life can't hide his eyes so cleanly.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, it's a bit of a gaffe, to be honest, in this small village, I can't receive a few fifth-order demon cores in a year, after all, the people who come here to hunt are not very good, you understand!"
After speaking, the shopkeeper Xiaoye intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the monkey head who was looking around in the fence next to the door, and Lin Shu pretended not to see it at all, but looked at the counter and shelves that were running in the other direction of the store Lin Xiaomei and Lin Xiaoyong.
"It's okay for my brother and sister to go over there and have a look, right?"
"No trouble, no trouble, try to visit, welcome to buy! ”
There was no one in the store at this time, and a young female clerk over there greeted Lin Xiaoyong's brother and sister, and was very enthusiastic about being their shopping guide, of course, Lin Xiaoyong didn't plan to buy anything at all.
"Shopkeeper Xiaoye, we came from the north to settle here, Brother Yang said that you are the most practical here, so you look at the price of these things, I believe in you, we will often deal with each other in the future." ”
"Okay, Mr. Lin is refreshing, then I'm not welcome, there are a total of thirteen demon cores here, including one of the fifth order of the qi system, three of the fourth order of the qi system, four of the fourth order of the water system, and five of the third order of the water system, according to our price here, the purchase price of the fifth order is eight hundred gold coins, the fourth order is eighty, and the third order is forty, a total of one thousand five hundred and sixty gold coins, and then on this basis, I will add forty to you, make up an integer of one thousand six hundred, what do you think?"
Lin Shu grinned, he didn't bargain at all, now that he was unfamiliar with life here, even if he suffered a loss, it would be okay, anyway, these demon cores were all picked up for nothing, and they were eaten by Xiaoqiang and the monkey head much more.
"Okay, deal. I don't know if it's cash? We don't have that."
"Hehe, understand, it doesn't matter, I'll pay you two hundred cash first, please Xiao Wu take you to settle down first, and then the village office can give you a charge card, we really don't have much cash here, please forgive me!"
"Hehe, it's okay, then leave three fourth-order demon cores for you first, and we'll come back later. ”
"It's good, it's good. ”
Lin Shu received a small bag of gold coins very smoothly, shaking it and making a loud noise, the sound was really good, Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei's eyes were involuntarily attracted by this small bag.
However, the contents of the small bag were quickly spent, and the annual poll tax for the three of them was one hundred and fifty gold coins, and then they bought a few new clothes, threw away the wrinkled and torn clothes on their bodies, and then invited Yang Jinwu to have a meal together, Lin Shu still had twenty gold coins left on his body, and the prices here were really high!
"Brother Yang, I want to ask you if the house here is expensive, if you don't have enough money to buy it, can you rent it?"
Yang Jinwu burped, these things are really delicious, he is usually reluctant to eat, his monthly salary is only twenty gold coins, plus some small extra money, he goes out on vacation to go to the gangster team, it is very powerful to earn forty or fifty a month, but there is a big family to raise at home, so this kind of foreign meat can only be opened once in a while.
Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei didn't dare to eat more, because Lin Shu had warned the two of them that due to the long-term consumption of raw food and wild fruits, now their stomachs would not be suitable for cooked food and greasy, so they only let the two of them eat a little cooked food, but ordered two large plates of vegetables, so that Lin Xiaoyong could only watch Yang Jinwu and the monkey head feast.
Hearing Lin Shu's question, Yang Jinwu hurriedly replied with a smile: "A simple wall kiln is only two hundred gold coins, plus the money to buy the land, five hundred gold coins is enough, if you buy the land boundary by yourself and then find a magician to build it, you can save one hundred to one hundred and twenty gold coins, but you have to wait for two or three days." ”
Lin Shu thought for a while and said, "Then it's better to buy ready-made, but if it's too remote, isn't it more dangerous? I have two children at home." ”
"That's right, but our village hasn't seen a Warcraft for more than ten years, and besides, there is a lookout post on the top of the mountain, and there will be an alarm if a Warcraft attacks, so as long as it's not too remote, it's not a big problem. Besides, I'll help you find a place with a relatively good location, and the price may be fifty to a hundred higher, is that a problem?"
Lin Shu smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's it." ”
After eating enough, Yang Jinwu stopped a child on the side of the road and gave him a copper to find someone, and after a while, a shrewd man came down the steps of the hillside, and greeted Yang Jinwu, who was very conspicuous in the crowd.
"Xiao Wu, here, you come up, I'll take you directly to see the house. ”
"Eh, here!" Yang Jinwu replied loudly while reminding Lin Shu: "Let's go!"
"Let's go! Xiao Yong!" Lin Shu took his little sister with one hand, and greeted Lin Xiaoyong, who was staring at a group of children on the street.
"Oh, here it is!" the last nasal voice was, of course, to the half-grown children who looked at the short knife behind his waist with envy.
"This is Lin Shu, he just came to our village today to settle down, this is his brother and sister, Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei, this is Yang Jinshan, my cousin, who specializes in doing some bulk trading intermediaries, if you want to buy and sell any large things in the future, you will find him, there is the Yang family cover, safe!"
Lin Shu immediately understood Yang Jinshan's role, this Yang Jinshan was obviously a figure closer to the core of the Yang family, so he was involved in the bulk buying and selling of the entire village, and he might even be one of the spokespersons of the Yang family in business.
Lin Shu smiled and nodded: "Definitely, what does this so-called bulk transaction mean, does it mean the transaction amount?"
"No, it means something that is difficult to handle, such as equipment that does not see the light of day. ”
Lin Shu suddenly, it seems that this seemingly calm mountain village is not simple, in fact, it is also here, you can settle down casually, the identity of the origin is made up at will, out of the village is the primeval forest, when to hang up others and what to hang up the ghost to know the way, so, the water here must be very muddy, therefore, this so-called bulk trade also came into being.
"Oh, I see, I'll be sure to find you if I need to. ”
"Hehe, you're good! How old are your two siblings, and my son is about the same age as your brother. ”
"Xiaoyong is twelve, Xiaomei is seven years old, and they just want to go to school!"
"Twelve, it's a pity that there is no magic vocational school here, but there are ordinary liberal arts, and your brother is a magic receptor?"
"Yes, a level 3 magic receptor, but we have family heirlooms, so it's no problem not going to vocational school. ”
"Oh, that's good, family heirloom! That's a great family, hehe, it's a gaffe!"
"Huh. ”
Lin Shu pretended not to know about this temptation, it was better to keep it unfathomable, rather than making it up by himself, it was better to let someone make it up for him, and no one could figure out whether it was true or false.
chatting along the way, the experienced Lin Shu soon found that this Yang Jinshan is definitely not simple, his speaking skills are quite experienced, perhaps, in this village, he also has other missions, but when he meets Lin Shu Yang Jinshan, there is no way, the news he gets is Lin Shu's deliberate misleading or roundabout things that make him self-righteous, and there are some obvious fakes in it, Yang Jinshan thinks that he has a very thorough understanding of Lin Shu, but in fact, it is all an illusion deliberately caused by Lin Shu.
Lin Shu soon saw his house, it was an ordinary wall kiln, a simple rain shelter was set up at the entrance of the cave, there was a small courtyard outside, there was a family more than ten meters away from the left and right, and there were also households up and down, living here should not worry about the attack of the Warcraft, at least the Warcraft would not choose their own home when they came, right? Of course, Lin Shu's heart actually decided that if the Warcraft really attacked here, the choice must be his own home.
Lin Shu thinks that the house is good, there are three houses in the cave, a toilet and a kitchen, the water supply and water are complete, but don't think about the magic net, one in the middle of the three houses is the living room, one on the left and right, and one window outside, facing the south, the yard is more than 20 square meters, the courtyard wall is chest-high, it is built up with gravel, and then reinforced with magic.
This house was lived in before, and later it is said that it was made to make money and exchange it for a bigger one, so this one is going to be sold, and there are still some vegetables growing on the land in the yard.
Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei happily rushed in and out of the room, very excited, Lin Shu looked at the two children, his heart was also warm, the feeling of having a home again really made people's hearts very warm, but what about my sister? Lin Shu's heart trembled slightly, and a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes, just when Yang Jinshan caught a glimpse, he also nodded secretly in his heart, this child is really not a simple person, in fact, how many of the people who came to settle here are simple?
Lin Shu's requirements for living are very low, and Lin Xiaoyong and Lin Xiaomei also have no requirements, in their opinion, this is much better than a tree hole. So the last small house was sold for 560 gold coins, and Lin Shu, Lin Xiaoyong, and Lin Xiaomei also settled down in the southern border village of Yangzhang City, Jiangnan Province, in the Tang Kingdom.
On the night of the same day, a report recording the detailed information and assessment of the three Lin Shu siblings appeared on the desk of the three tripartite supervisors in the border village.
Lin Shu: The origin is unknown, suspected to be a descendant of the Lin family in a northern province, with a simple personality, easy to believe in people, a professional animal trainer, the rank is unknown, the beast is a fifth-order demon calf, named 'monkey head', male, about ten years old, strong attack power. The younger brother Lin Xiaoyong is twelve years old, and the younger sister Lin Xiaomei is seven years old, the younger brother and sister are both magic receptors, the younger brother is third-level, and the younger sister is fifth-level, practicing family exercises. It is advisable to continue to observe.
