Chapter 27 On the Road
Chapter 27 On the road
Looking at the crazy expression on the boss's face, Zhao Shen and I both felt very funny. Even Xiao Li, who just laughed at us, fell silent and almost drooled at the sight. After a while, that
The boss said in a trembling voice: "Are you sure you want to sell this luminous pearl?" I smiled and said: "If you don't sell it, why are we coming to you?" The boss swallowed his saliva and said: "Xiao Li!
Xiao Li, please quickly invite Master Zhou over and let him take a look at this luminous pearl." Xiao Li was stunned for a while and then said: "Oh, I'll go right away."
After saying that, he ran out in a hurry, and his speed could be compared with Liu Xiang. After a while, Xiao Li came back, followed by an old man in his seventies and eighty years old, panting and saying: "Where is it? Where is the Night Pearl?"
"The boss quickly helped the so-called Master Zhou over and said, "Here, take a look, how does this look like?" After studying it carefully, Master Zhou murmured: "It's perfect.
It's so perfect." The boss said anxiously: "What did you just say? How about this one?" Zhao Shen and I looked at their funny expressions from behind and thought to ourselves: "What can come out of my hand?
Isn't it perfect? If I take out the sacred stone, I won't scare you to death.
Seeing them watching for such a long time, I got a little impatient, so I went to the counter and urged: "When do you want to see it? It's almost dark. Can you tell me how much it can be sold for?"
He said with some trembling: "Master Zhou, how much do you think this can be sold for?" He knew in his heart that such a perfect luminous pearl must be expensive.
Master Zhou said excitedly: "This is worth at least one hundred thousand taels of silver." After hearing this, I thought, oh, they still use silver, which is very similar to our ancient times. "Okay, you guys
Just give me one hundred thousand taels of silver." I said a little impatiently. In fact, I don't know how much one hundred thousand taels is, and I don't have that idea in my mind. Anyway, I have a lot of these luminous pearls, so missing a few of them is no big deal.
So Xiao Li handed the one hundred thousand taels of silver notes into my hand with trembling hands. I took it and said to him: "Don't judge people by their appearance in the future. If you hit an iron plate, you will be unlucky."
Xiao Li said respectfully: "Yes, yes." But he was thinking in his heart, what is the iron plate? If I knew what he was thinking, I would be depressed to death. Then Zhao Shen and I left the jewelry store
, walked towards the hotel, oh no, I have to call the inn.
When I arrived at the inn, I asked for two upper rooms from the innkeeper, and then ordered some of the local specialties to be delivered to the room. After all, we can all skip meals now, but habits don't just change.
Before eating, I asked the waiter about the situation here. It turns out that this is the Dashun Kingdom, and this city is also close to the border. The more you go inside, the more prosperous it becomes. There are also Dashun Kingdom and Dahan Kingdom on this continent.
The three countries are at odds with each other, and wars often break out between them, and it is the people who suffer.
Since this is the secular world, I decided to have some fun here with Zhao Shen before leaving. After all, everything here is so new and interesting to me. I plan to go to the capital tomorrow to have some fun.
After dinner, Zhao Shen and I went back to our rooms respectively. We only had to meditate at night. Early the next morning, we paid the room fee and set off, but we didn't want to fly directly, that would be practical.
It was so boring. So I came up with an idea to go with the local caravan, so that I might encounter bandits.
I immediately went to find a caravan and told them that the two of us were going to the capital, but we were afraid of being unsafe, so we wanted to go with them. The owner of the caravan saw that we were pitiful, so he accepted us.
The scenery along the way was quite good. You could feel the scent of birds, animals and mountains everywhere, which is hard to find in our environment on earth. There was nothing to say along the way. When we were resting that night, the boss came over and said to us: "
We still have three days to go to the capital, so please rest assured." After hearing this, I muttered in a low voice, "Why aren't you here yet?" The owner of the caravan asked, "Ah? Why aren't you here yet?"
?" I quickly denied: "It's nothing, I'm just talking to myself." Zhao Shen on the side saw me smiling like this, I rolled my eyes at him and said: "What's so funny, don't allow it.
laugh."
The next day, after not walking very far, I finally met what I wanted. I saw a large group of people rushing down in front of me, each with a fierce look. One of the leading bandit leaders said: "This tree is my car, this mountain
I'm the one driving the car. I want to pass by and leave money to buy the road." A robber next to him said: "Boss, no, it's the other way around." The bandit leader said carelessly: "How can it be the other way around? I carried it last night.
Eighty times." The robber next to him continued to remind: "No, boss, I should drive this mountain and carry this tree." "Oh? Is that so? Then go back first and let's start again.
Once again.”
"Haha... This robber is really interesting. He can't even speak when he imitates others." I smiled and said to Zhao Shen next to me. The words of the robber leader made us all laugh. There was originally a somewhat frightening atmosphere.
No more.
The bandit leader jumped out and said: "I drove this mountain and planted this tree. Leave the money to buy the road and live on from now on." The boy next to him reminded him again: "Boss, I'm wrong again.
, I said the last two sentences wrong this time." The boss said with some disbelief: "How is it possible? I recited this paragraph a hundred times yesterday." "Hahahaha." Now we laughed even more.
I held my stomach and laughed loudly behind me. The boy next to me said: "I should pass by here and leave money to buy the road." Then the bandit boss touched the back of his head and said: "Do that again. I drive this mountain.
This tree belongs to me. I want to pass by and leave some money to buy the road." After saying that, he looked around and asked the boy next to him with some worry: "Did I say it right this time?" The boy solemnly confirmed this.
That's right.
Then the bandit leader shouted loudly: "Keep all the goods and valuables. The men stand on the left and the women stand on the side. They all squat down with their hands on their heads." The boy who just reminded him quietly said: "
Boss, there seems to be no women here." The boss touched his head awkwardly and said, "It doesn't matter, let's do it this way, the old one will stand on the left, the young one will stand on the right, and the middle-aged one will stand in the middle." I looked at it a little funny.
