Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

When the sun rose, the three of them rushed to the market.

Just like the last time they came here, the three of them searched for a long time before they finally found a stall on the street and started setting up their business.

After setting up the stall, Gu Chan said to Ding Meihua, "Grandma, Ma Zheng and I are going to buy bows and arrows. You stay here and wait for us."

"Okay, go quickly. I'll trouble you to take good care of our Ah Zheng from now on."

"Don't worry, he is my younger brother, of course I will protect him." Gu Chan patted his chest.

Then she took Ma Zheng away and rushed to an arms shop at the end of the street.

While walking on the street, Ma Zheng kept stealing glances at the brothels on both sides, because outside the brothels, there were many girls with revealing clothes and heavy makeup standing.

"Pa!" Gu Chan raised her hand and slapped Ma Zheng on the head.

Ma Zheng cried out in pain, touched his head and asked, "Boss, why did you hit me?"

"Lust is a sword hanging over your head. You are so young and yet you are looking around everywhere. What will happen when you grow up?" Gu Chan scolded.

"No, boss. I don't know what Qingpu does. I asked grandma before, but she wouldn't tell me, so I was curious!" Ma Zheng explained with a wronged look on his face.

“……”Gu Chan!

What to do?

Of course, the Qingpu is engaged in the flesh trade!

If she wasn't a girl and it wasn't convenient for her to talk about these things, she would really like to break the child's innocent fantasy.

Ma Zheng asked again, "Boss, do you know what these girls are doing in there?"

"Don't ask if you're annoying or not. You'll understand when you grow up."

"Tsk! You talk as if you know. Aren't you also a child?" Ma Zheng muttered unhappily.

Gu Chan was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked forward quickly.

The horse was following closely behind her.

Soon the two arrived at the armory.

The shop is not big, with just a front door on the ground floor. It is filled with all kinds of weapons. The owner is Qin Xiang, a middle-aged woman with long black hair and a melon-shaped face. She looks pretty.

She wore a long blue dress on the upper body and white silk pants on the lower body. Her clothes were exquisite, but very conservative, wrapping up her good figure tightly. It was obvious at a glance that she was a good woman.

Seeing Gu Chan and the other person enter the store, Qin Xiang asked with a smile, "What are you two kids doing here? Do you want to buy weapons too?"

"Sister, we want to buy two sets of bows and arrows." Gu Chan walked to the counter, stood on tiptoe, looked at Qin Xiang, and replied sweetly.

"Did you bring the silver?" Qin Xiang asked.

Gu Chan reached into her pocket, took out the two silver ingots and put them on the counter.

Qin Xiang picked up the silver and weighed it, then walked out with a smile and led the two to the pile of bows placed under the right wall. "Please choose! These are all light bows that cost ten taels of silver each. If you buy a bow, I will give you a quiver and ten arrows."

"Ma Zheng, you choose!" Gu Chan ordered.

Ma Zheng immediately picked it up excitedly.

Qin Xiang looked at Gu Chan with a puzzled look on her face, "Why don't you choose?"

"Sister, I want to buy a heavy bow. The light bow is too light for me..."

"Ah! You kid, it's okay that you are young, but you really brag without thinking! With your thin arms and legs, you still buy a heavy bow! Can you pull it open?" Qin Xiang mocked Gu Chan before she could finish her words.

As the owner of a weapons store, she knew very well what kind of weapons different people used.

Gu Chan's body is that of a ten-year-old child. She is not strong, but rather delicate like a little girl. No one would believe her if she said she wanted to buy a heavy bow.

Gu Chan was not angry either. She could understand the boss lady's mentality. "Sister, I can pull a bow of 60 dan. How about this, find me a bow of 100 dan and let me try. Maybe I can pull it too."

"Hahaha……"

Qin Xiang suddenly laughed, holding her stomach and laughing so hard that she was all smiles.

At this time, people were coming and going on the street outside the store. Many people were startled by the boss's laughter and stopped to gather at the door of the store to watch the excitement.

When Gu Chan saw this scene, her face froze.

"It's over, this is the pretentious plot! If I don't show off today, it seems that I won't be able to buy the bow. But I have to keep a low profile! I can't be too conspicuous, otherwise it will be disadvantageous to me!"

Seeing more and more people standing at the door to watch, Gu Chan began to mutter to herself.

It's not that it's bad to pretend to be cool, it's just that the last time she came to the market, she went to the medicine shop to pretend, and ended up getting into big trouble with the county magistrate. Now she doesn't want to get into trouble, she just wants to buy a bow and take it back quietly.

So at this moment, she really didn't want to pretend.

But the proprietress obviously had too few entertainment programs on weekdays. She was either bored or had nothing better to do. After laughing, she actually shouted to everyone, "Listen, everyone! I just heard a big joke. This kid said that she could pull a bow of 60 stones, and asked me to give her a bow of 100 stones to try. I was so happy."

"At such a young age, you don't learn well and you actually brag."

"Whose child is this? Why is he here in the weapons shop to act like a big wolf?"

"Kid, do you know that in our Tiancang Country, bragging is against the law? Even if you are a child, you will still be punished if you brag and violate the law."

The crowd around immediately responded and began to mock.

Gu Chan was stunned on the spot after hearing this.

After all this trouble, she only realized now that bragging is illegal in Tiancang Country!

Fortunately, she used strategy when she came here last time and did not show off in front of the drugstore owner Zhou Dachuan. Otherwise, she might have gotten into this kind of trouble.

Ma Zheng didn't dare to pick on her anymore. He quickly ran over to Gu Chan and whispered anxiously, "Boss, why are you talking nonsense? This is bad. If the boss lady reports to the police, you will be arrested and beaten in the county government office."

"Then why didn't you tell me that bragging is against the law?" Gu Chan complained angrily.

"You didn't ask me! I thought you knew!" Ma Zheng spread his hands helplessly.

Gu Chan put her hand on her forehead and her face turned green.

However, she also admitted that Ma Zheng could not be blamed for this matter. She could only blame herself. After all, she did not have the memories of the original owner. She had lived in Jiuyang Village with Zhang Wanshan for several days, and she had not asked about the laws of Tiancang Kingdom.

It seems reasonable that he has suffered such a bad fate now.

Qin Xiang glanced at Gu Chan and smiled awkwardly, "Boy, this is the first time you come to brag to me, so I'll give you a chance. Just admit that you were bragging and apologize to me politely, and I'll let it go. Otherwise, so many people are watching! If someone calls the police to arrest you, don't blame me!"

“……”Gu Chan!

Dry!

What to do? She doesn't want to show off now, lest she attracts attention.

Why not prove it? They said she was breaking the law by bragging. If she proved it, she would have to pretend to be cool again.

This is a vicious circle!

Gu Chan is having a headache right now. Should she pretend or not?
