Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

After burning the bloody pants, Gu Chan sat down at the table to eat.

Because she had some stomach pain, she felt full without eating much.

At this time, Ma Zheng suddenly rushed in from outside, "Boss, let's go to Master Erniu to learn hunting skills!"

"I can't go today. You have to accompany me to the county to buy a pair of pants." Gu Chan replied with a stiff face.

"Ah? Don't you have pants to wear?" Ma Zheng was a little unhappy.

Gu Chan immediately became furious, "Then go find Zhao Erniu yourself! Stop bothering me here, get out!"

“……”Ma Zheng.

Zhang Wanshan, who was sitting next to him, was also stunned.

He always felt that something was wrong with Gu Chan today, and her temper was much worse than before, but he couldn't tell exactly why it became like this.

Ma Zheng looked aggrieved after being yelled at. He lowered his head and said, "Okay! Then I'll accompany you to the county! Don't be angry."

"Oh! I... I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself just now." Gu Chan sighed and apologized helplessly.

She didn't want this to happen, but now she couldn't control it and could only apologize to Ma Zheng.

Ma Zheng took off the bow and quiver from his back and put them aside, then said to Zhang Wanshan, "Grandpa Zhang, please keep an eye on them for me. I'll come back and get them later."

"Okay, go ahead! Be careful on the road." Zhang Wanshan nodded in agreement.

Gu Chan immediately got up and left with Ma Zheng towards the county.

Not long after the two men left the village, they ran into the village chief's son who was returning from the county.

Gu Chan was stunned when she saw him. "Didn't you go to the county to buy a big rooster yesterday morning?"

"Yes! Didn't I buy it? It cost me a total of one hundred and thirty taels of silver!" The village chief's son pointed to the backpack behind him, looking painful.

When Gu Chan and the other two looked over, they immediately felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

What he bought was not a big rooster at all! It could only be called a small rooster.

The size of this little rooster was only half the size of the old hen in his house, and it cost him one hundred and thirty taels of silver.

In Gu Chan's opinion, this little rooster was worth at most one hundred taels of silver, not so much money.

The village chief's son felt a little guilty when Gu Chan looked at him, so he quickly changed the subject, "Where are you going so early in the morning?"

"Let's go to the market to buy pants." Gu Chan replied calmly.

"Okay, go ahead! I'll go back first. The old hen at home must be waiting anxiously."

"You went to the county yesterday morning and came back early this morning. Did you go to Qingpu to play last night?" Gu Chan asked directly.

The village chief's son was obviously panicking. He laughed dryly and said, "You two little brats, you know nothing. You can only talk nonsense. I will ignore you. I have to go home."

After saying this, he trotted away with the little rooster on his back.

Gu Chan and the other two laughed as they watched.

What is a guilty conscience?

Isn't that what the village chief's son did? He must have stayed in Qingpu all night last night, and this little rooster must not have cost 130 taels of silver. He deliberately quoted this high price and then used the money to go shopping in Qingpu.

"Humph! As expected, men are animals that think with their lower body, so disgusting!"

Gu Chan cursed inwardly, then calmed down and continued on her journey with Ma Zheng.

Due to poor health, Gu Chan did not walk as fast this time as last time. When the two arrived at the county market, it was almost noon.

They found a cold noodle stall and sat down. Gu Chan ordered a bowl of cold noodles and let Ma Zheng eat first. She then went to a tailor shop not far away to buy some pants.

"Young man, do you want to buy some clothes?" The owner of the tailor shop asked as soon as Gu Chan entered the shop.

Gu Chan looked behind the counter and found that the boss was a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a pointed face and a monkey-like appearance. His eyes were a little small, and he looked at people with squinting eyes, showing a shrewd look.

What is most memorable is that the boss is bald. The shiny spot on the top of his head gives him a Mediterranean look. Combined with his better clothes, he does look a bit funny.

So that’s what Gu Chan said!

Since she came into this world, she has never seen any handsome men or beautiful women.

The only handsome man is the handsome guy in black who died in the wasteland yesterday; the only good-looking woman is Qin Xiang, the proprietress of Wanqi Shop.

Taking her eyes off the boss's face, Gu Chan looked at the many pants hanging in the store and said, "I'm here to buy pants."

"What kind of fabric do you want to buy?" asked the boss.

"Let me take a look myself first! You are busy." Gu Chan waved her hand without turning back.

Seeing this, the boss thought that Gu Chan didn't bring much silver, so he ignored her and chatted with his apprentice who was packing cloth nearby. "Apprentice, have you heard that Mr. Wang has been very worried these past two days. He searched the whole city for the chivalrous man named Batman, but couldn't find him at all!"

"He deserves it. I think Batman has stolen too little. He only stole a few hundred taels of silver and two magical herbs. If it were me, I would empty his entire treasure house." The apprentice muttered in a low voice in encouragement.

"You want to die, but I don't! Don't talk nonsense." The boss reminded with a smile.

The apprentice quickly shut his mouth wisely.

Gu Chan laughed secretly as she listened, thinking that what she had done before was not wrong, at least she could get the support of the people.

But now she was also anxious.

Tomorrow she has to go to the county government office to deliver the spiritual herbs to the county magistrate, but she doesn't have any spiritual herbs now, and it is even more impossible for her to get them from the treasury of the official's mansion.

After all, there were only two spiritual herbs in the treasure house, and she took them all.

Now Gu Chan didn’t know where to find the spiritual herbs, and her body was also feeling uncomfortable due to her first menstrual period, which made her very anxious.

"Forget it, let me calm down first and buy what I need first." Comforting herself in her heart, Gu Chan took a long breath and suppressed her inner impatience.

Then she looked at the pair of pants on the right that was made of better fabric and said, "Boss, I want this one. This size should be suitable for me."

"Nonsense, they're just children's pants, how come they don't fit you?" The boss muttered unhappily, walked over, took off the pants and handed them to Gu Chan.

Gu Chan took the pants and touched them carefully. She felt that they were very comfortable. She did not ask the price. She immediately reached into her sleeve and took out a silver ingot of twenty taels and threw it to the boss, "With this material, give me two sets."

"Okay, okay, I'll match it for you right away." The boss took the twenty taels of silver, and his attitude instantly became enthusiastic, and the way he looked at Gu Chan was different.

Gu Chan had a stiff face. Under normal circumstances, she would definitely not be like this.

But she has her period today and is in a bad mood. If you look down on me, I will throw money at you.

Money makes the world go round, and I just have a bad temper.
