Chapter 8: The Dark Fragrance Floats

Time is shallow, and a few days have passed in a blink of an eye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On this day, the caravan that Liu Changsheng and the others had been waiting for for a long time finally came quietly in a crisp bell.

The convoy, which stretched for hundreds of meters, stopped at the foot of Mount Umeng, and then began a chaotic and orderly formation of troops amid the noisy shouting.

A caravan is often composed of dozens or even hundreds of large and small merchants, and in each place, these caravans begin to break up on their own, and each merchant begins to set up their own shops, and a simple market will soon gradually take shape in this dazzling busyness.

Beishan Village is built in a small valley on the mountainside of Wumeng Mountain, backed by cliffs, at the entrance of the village built two sides of four or five zhang high and extremely thick and solid earth walls, the earth wall is made of yellow mud that washes away the sand and gravel and the golden silk grass that is tougher than iron wire, and then adds the mucus boiled by hundreds of herbs and poisonous insects to mix the mud, and then let the strong men in the village beat it hundreds of times with a big hammer before it was built, and its tenacity is not necessarily able to leave a little mark even if people hold a big knife and cut it on it for half a day.

At the entrance of the village, the way up the mountain is to set up two arrow towers, which are guarded day and night to prevent those robbers with evil intentions and bandits from invading the village, after all, Wumeng Mountain is on the periphery of the Red Leaf Mountains, and there are hundreds of large and small bandits in the Red Leaf Mountains, those bandits are all murderous guys, once they break into the village, then Beishan Village may be turned into the dust of history in an instant.

As for the caravans, they were not allowed to enter the village just in case, so the people in the village who wanted to exchange things with the caravans had to take things to the foot of the mountain to exchange with those merchants, although there was some trouble, but no one complained about anything.

As the sun began to sink in the west and the weary birds began to return to their nests, a loud gong and drum sounded, a loud sound from a leather drum called the Thundering Drum, which was made from the belly of a strange beast called the Thundering Beast.

This kind of alien beast has no other ability, but once it encounters a natural enemy, it will immediately make a thunderous noise to scare off the natural enemy, and the thundering drum refined with its belly perfectly retains its characteristics of being able to make loud noises, and the sound can travel extremely far.

The thunderous drum sounded three times, which meant that the caravan had finally put out its shops and was ready to open the market, and beckoned those nearby who wanted to exchange things to come over quickly.

When Liu Changsheng and the others heard the sound of gongs and drums, their eyes lit up, and they rushed to the market under the mountain with large bags and small bags on their backs.

"Changshengwa, this market is going to be open for several days, why are you in such a hurry?" An old man driving an ox cart couldn't help but laugh when he saw Liu Changsheng and a few large bags and small bags.

"Hehe, Zhong Lao, are you also going to the market?" Liu Changsheng turned his head and saw that it was Zhong Lao in their village, and immediately smiled.

This Zhong Lao has no children and no daughters, and he is a little pitiful, but he is good at drinking, and he often relies on Liu Changsheng's house to find wine to drink, and last time he almost drank the iron wire wine that Liu Changsheng used to cultivate, and almost made a fuss, but Liu Changsheng, who came and went, became familiar with this Zhong Lao.

"That is, I was lucky enough to catch a wire scorpion yesterday, and I went to see if I could change it for something that I could use. As he spoke, the old man said with a smile as he lifted a black gold net hanging on an ox cart.

"Wow, Zhong Lao, your wire scorpion is not small. Xiao Renfu said in surprise.

I saw that there was a wire scorpion that looked at least two inches in the black gold net, of course, this two inches was not two inches after the tail was straightened, but the torso after the tail was removed, it was two inches long.

The big scorpion seemed to know what fate he was about to face, and struggled through the Ugin net, but it was clear that what he did was in vain, Ugin was one of the toughest materials, and the Ugin net made from it was not something it could break free from.

"Two inches and six feet. The old man said proudly, obviously it is extremely rare to be able to catch such a large wire scorpion.

"Old man Zhong, your luck is good, the one I caught is only the size of a palm, and I almost didn't throw it back at that time. This is a black-faced man with a burden next to him who caught up and said with envy in his eyes.

When everyone heard the sound, they saw that there was also a black gold net hanging in front of the burden he carried, and there was also a wire scorpion in the black gold net, but his one was more than half smaller than the wire scorpion on the old man Zhong's ox cart, you must know that the bigger the wire scorpion, the more valuable it is, like the old man's four or five black-faced men on top of his feet, no wonder he was a little envious.

"Hehe, okay, since they're all going to the market, let's all come up. Zhong Laohan got cheap, so he also greeted with a smile.

Liu Changsheng and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, hugged their burdens, and climbed up, but the burden of the black-faced man was not easy to put down, so they didn't come up, and walked unhurriedly on the side, but it was not much slower than the ox cart.

The bazaar is not far away, just a few miles away, and it will not take long for a group of people to talk and laugh.

"Elder Zhong, then we will leave first. Seeing the place, Liu Changsheng jumped out of the ox cart and said goodbye to Zhong Lao.

"Where are we going next?" Hua Ni asked a little helplessly, looking at the green, brightly lit, and bustling market.

"Well, if you have anything to sell or buy first, you can deal with it yourself, and after you finish it, we will come back here to combine, if you don't know what to do, follow me first. ”

Liu Changsheng glanced at the somewhat chaotic bazaar, but he was much calmer than the others, and said after thinking for a while.

"Well, I'm going to sell the herbs, dried fruits, and the like that I usually have in my hands first, and then buy some things, so I'll go first. ”

The iron pillar looked wooden, but it was not a very false scene, and after speaking, he squeezed into the crowd with a large bag of things on his back.

"Well, we also have something to deal with, so let's go first. Zhao Guo and Xiao Renfu also said.

"I, I'd better follow you. Hua Ni said that her little face turned a little red.

"Well, let's go, I'm going to take care of some of the things I usually collect. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took Hua Ni's hand and squeezed into the crowd.

Hua Ni was held by Liu Changsheng, and the blush on her little face was even worse, but she didn't break away, and let Liu Changsheng lead her and shuttle through the sea of people.

Although Liu Changsheng is still young, he has been forced by his father to practice the bitter lotus decision for two years, and he often has medicinal wine to cultivate his qi and nourish his spirit, even in the face of those aggressive and foaming shopkeepers in those shops, he does not show a trace of fear at all, but he is very calm, and he fights with those shopkeepers slowly.

Hua Ni, who was following Liu Changsheng, looked at Liu Changsheng's body unconsciously revealing a mountain-like calmness with a slightly elegant atmosphere, and her eyes were suddenly a little confused.

"Hua Ni, didn't you also bring a lot of dried fruits with you, let's take them out together. Liu Changsheng suddenly turned around and said to Hua Ni.

"Well, oh. Hua Ni saw Liu Changsheng turn around and was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her head in a little panic and handed Liu Changsheng a package behind her, and the flush on her face went directly to the root of her neck.

Liu Changsheng looked at Hua Ni a little strangely, feeling a little inexplicable, but he didn't pay much attention to it, grabbed the package, took out the dried fruit inside, and handed it over to the shopkeeper who kept sighing.

The two of them didn't have many things on them, and most of them weren't of much value, so they walked a few places, and it didn't take much time to dispose of them, and then they took Hua Ni and walked back.

However, Liu Changsheng felt that Hua Ni seemed to have become a little strange, as if she was particularly shy, her face was red at every turn, and she lowered her head and did not speak, which made Liu Changsheng feel very funny, but when Hua Ni found out that Liu Changsheng was actually snickering, she understood it in a turn of mind, and the spicy energy immediately came back, and she fought at Liu Changsheng, and Liu Changsheng begged for mercy again and again.

Under the dark night sky, in the midst of the bustling market.

The colorful paper lanterns give this prosperous world a seductive halo.

Boys and girls walked through the crowd, playing and laughing.

swaying the young man, the girl's ignorant spring love.

With each other's laughter and laughter, they planted a wonderful seed in their hearts, and looked forward to the day when it would blossom and bear fruit.
