271 The mayor visited
He had an idea and said, "Okay, I'll teach you to read and write, so you can read for yourself, okay?"
"I'm literate, but I don't know a few of them. ”
"Yes, let me teach you, you don't need me to talk about it. ”
"I don't study, I just want to hear others read it, I don't want to see it. ”
Su Mu cleaned up the phoenix flowers on the ground and said, "Then you can help me wash the long-tail cream, how many more, finish these tonight, and sell a few ice talismans tomorrow." ”
"Then when I'm done, you're going to tell me the story of the princess's outing. ”
Su Mu rolled his eyes and said, "You know exactly where the princess goes, why don't you tell yourself yourself?"
The priestess fiddled with the long-tailed frost and shook her head.
Life is very hard, they accompany each other, and they are also a spiritual dependent, so Su Mu usually doesn't want to refuse her, she feels pity from the first sight of her, like a sister, she naturally wants to let her do everything.
Refining the ice talisman is not an easy task, several ice talismans have been busy until late at night, the priestess has sleepy eyelids, and her cheeks are supported with both hands, faintly meaning to sleep.
Su Mu let her lie on the bed, she slept under the bed, and simply laid some hay, today's selling was like a big war, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and she was going to sleep when she lay down.
"You haven't told me a story yet. ”
The priestess lay on the bed and muttered.
"Tomorrow. ”
Su Mu replied vaguely.
The priestess could not concentrate even if she wanted to, and fell asleep groggy.
The next day, he sold a few talismans, bought some raw materials, and went home to continue refining.
The days passed slowly. Su Mu has worked hard. But he alone can refine up to twenty sheets a day. With an income of forty silver crystals, he and the priestess consumed twenty for cultivation every day, and five for purchasing raw materials, but fortunately, the ice silk was already available to him, and the long-tailed frost was also found by himself, saving a lot of costs.
The priestess is a very sensible person, and in addition to being a little pestering, she will take the initiative to do a lot of things. Help make ends meet together.
Under Su Mu's guidance, she has begun to refine the ice talisman independently by herself these days, but her soul power is very strong, and her spiritual power is not enough, so it takes twice as long to refine one, although it is very slow, but it is better than nothing, so that the two of them can have thirty ice talismans every day.
"Su Mu, I have a good idea, we can earn hundreds of silver crystals every day by doing nothing. ”
this day. Before going out, the priestess came to Su Mu's side excitedly. A ghostly smile on his face.
"What's the idea?"
"We can sell the talisman making arts, find different people to sell them, and we can make a lot of money at once." ”
Su Mu said with a smile: "We refine less, but the demand in the town is also less, if we sell it to someone else, there is one more competitor, and we can't sell thirty sheets a day." ”
"You can change places often, do you want to live in Reed Town forever?"
"It's sparsely populated here, this place is often tens of millions of miles away from another place, and there are many mountain monsters in the middle, and it will take so long to change to the next place just on the road, but what you said is also a way, when no one needs the ice talisman here, let's go to a bigger place, and naturally sell the ice talisman before leaving." In fact, the best way is to find some loyal people to help us refine the ice talisman, just like the Snow Clan. ”
The priestess was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, the best way is not to refine the ice talisman, just find a beautiful place to live." ”
"Where did the silver crystal come from if we don't refine the ice talisman, how can we cultivate?"
"Why do we have to cultivate? Can't we just do nothing and live in peace for the rest of our lives?"
"If you don't cultivate, where can you get stability? This is not the Blazing Sun Realm, and you can survive without any skills. ”
"You can find a place where no one is around, and if you don't see people, you won't be in trouble. ”
"You're trying to be lazy, aren't you?"
"No, I just think we're too tired. You used to be the head of the Loose Sect, but when you come here, you're a peddler, and you seem to have a big difference. ”
"The vendors you see on the streets, maybe they were once the heads of the faction, and that's the price of ascension, and when you come here, you have to forget all the glory and start all over again. ”
"Then is this the Heavenly Spirit Realm?"
"I don't know, I've asked others, and they don't know, I always think that the palace above is the Heavenly Spirit Realm. ”
"Why didn't I see the palace?"
Su Mu didn't know why, he hadn't talked to anyone about this kind of problem, who saw the palace and who didn't see it should depend on how he ascended in the thousand-story tower.
"Is Su Mu at home?"
"Who?"
No one had ever visited here, and when she heard someone coming, the priestess screamed crisply, and hurriedly went out to check.
"It's me. ”
A pot-bellied middle-aged monk laughed.
"Su Mu, it's the mayor of the town. ”
The priestess turned around and looked at him, "Mayor Town, what are you doing at my house?"
As soon as the mayor saw Su Mu, he sighed, and said with a solemn face: "That's the case, Reed Town is in trouble." ”
Su Mu didn't have any expression on his face, but looked at the mayor coldly, there are difficulties, what does it have to do with him? He and the priestess are not from here.
"Su Mu, although you have only been here for a short time, you are also from my Reed Town, and your Ice Talisman is also well-known in Reed Town, and you have already established yourself here, so it can be regarded as your second hometown, right? ”
"Mayor Mare, what's wrong?"
The priestess is kind by nature, and she also has a sense of belonging to Reed Town, and when she hears that there is a problem here, she can't help but worry.
The mayor said, "Do you know the town of Flatleaf by the Reed River?"
"Yes. The priestess took Su Mu's hand and looked at the mayor intently.
"Those bastards in Flatleaf Town are going to fight with us if they say that Reed Town has cut off their livelihood. ”
"Why, isn't Bianye Town and us separated by a strip of water, we both live by the Reed River, why do we want to live and die against each other?"
Su Mu didn't say a word, but the priestess looked a little anxious.
Su Mu slowly glanced at the priestess, this girl is really warm-hearted.
"We live in the upper reaches, many people make a living by fishing for Jinsha, Bianye Town said that we will take away all the Jinsha, which is ridiculous, the river is alive, Jinsha is not finished, how can it be said that it has cut off their livelihood, it is clear that it is deliberately looking for fault. ”
"So that's the case, then you can just say no to them, why do it?"
"Well, they have to listen too!"
"How can you not listen, contradictions are all for a reason, there is a reason for a reason, how can people be unreasonable?"
The mayor said: "They are just unreasonable, everyone has already discussed, each family will send one person, and fight to the end with Bianye Town! The residents in front of them all agree, you are the last one." ”
Su Mu said: "Mayor of the town, I think this kind of thing should be treated differently, right? We are just living here temporarily, we can't be the same as those who live here all year round, right?"
"What do you mean, Brother Su?"
"I mean, it's impossible to help you for free. ”
The mayor said: "What you said is not right, this is not to help me, but to help yourself, to help all of us, after all, we are all members of Reed Town." ”
"The priestess and I are not from Reed Town, we can leave at any time, even if we want to fight, it is purely for help, but I never work for strangers. ”
The mayor smiled: "That's natural, as long as you contribute to our reed town, there will be a big bag of golden sands for you afterwards." ”
Jinsha is a material needed in many talismans, but Su Mu doesn't need it, so he said: "I don't want Jinsha, why don't you change it to a long tail cream, right?"
"But there's no longtail frost in Reed Town?"
"Then I can't help it, I just leave with the priestess without the long-tailed frost. ”
Su Mu said with a resolute face.
The mayor of the town thought for a moment, there are more people in Bianye Town than people in Reed Town, and they are more united, unlike Reed Town, most of them are outsiders, and each family has only one person at most, and the number of people is almost half less than the other party, so if you can fight for one by one, you will never let Su Mu leave.
"Okay, long-tailed frost is long-tailed cream!"
Su Mu nodded, although the long-tailed frost is not a rare thing, it is also quite troublesome to find, it often takes several days to go out, if someone goes to find it for themselves, it is worth it to make a little effort here, isn't it just a fight, he has also been to Bianye Town, and many people have also bought ice talismans with him, they are just some ordinary monks.
In a small place like the Reed River, there really can't hide any real dragons, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
After the mayor left, the priestess said, "I will also help when the time comes." ”
"You just stay at home, he said that the family is alone, why are we working so hard. ”
"Reed Town is our home, and it is everyone's duty to defend it. ”
"You just said that you don't want to live here forever, why are you so loving in a blink of an eye?"
"Although we have to leave in the future, we are very happy to live here now, and there are so many people rushing to give us silver spars every day, I think the people here are good people, and no one can bully us." ”
"Anyway, it's not a good thing, once the fight starts, it's bound to be dead and wounded, and it's going to be endless, in my opinion, let's just leave as soon as possible after we get the long-tailed cream. ”
The priestess frowned, and said unhappily: "How can you be like this, your self-interest is too heavy." ”
Su Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "You say this because you haven't suffered enough, you can accuse me, but I don't want to do anything that is not good for me." ”
"But it's also a joy to help others. ”
"Helping others and being used by others are two different things, do you really believe what the mayor said? Most people in Bianye Town don't rely on Jinsha for their business, and for a little Jinsha will they have such a big conflict with Reed Town? There must be other hidden reasons in it. ”
The priestess felt quite reasonable when she heard this, nodded slightly, and said, "Then why didn't you ask the mayor just now?"
Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "You are too kind." (To be continued......)
