Chapter 2153 Snow Mountain Cities
"Isn't this what you drew, I guess?"
Yu Lei said with a smile: "This game is still very popular in the third prince's house. Basically, there will be this program every year and festival. As long as you can guess a question correctly, you can get a reward, but it's like what you said, A Peng. In that way, even if it is some very simple questions, after gestures with body and gestures, people will be confused and give some completely different answers."
"I still remember that during the Chinese New Year this year, I drew a dragon for you, but you guessed a worm, and we didn't get the final prize."
Xia Fei gave Yu Lei a blank look, and continued: "So although this woman still remembers the dream back then, what was written in the book in the dream is actually her personal understanding, so there may be a big gap in the content. In and out? But now people still come to her for this matter, which means that the content of this book is very important! I remember that some foreigners will use spells similar to talismans, which they seem to call magic, so is this a book? Magic book?"
Eighty-nine is not far from ten.
If the Gentile is an easter egg about the Necronomicon, then the book he wrote should be a low-profile grimoire.
"I remember that among the dream interpreters back then, some people seemed to have studied these so-called magics, because these magics are more convenient than talismans, and can be used directly in emergencies, without the need to prepare in advance like talismans; But, the amount of magic that a person can use is quite limited, and side effects such as dizziness are prone to occur, so there are pros and cons between the two, just like a bow with a quiver and a bow that has already been used. stringed crossbow."
Xia Fei continued: "In short, after I return to Liangcheng, I will investigate these matters. If there is any result, I will come back and inform you as soon as possible. As for the son-in-law who came to Yangjia Village, you will be responsible for it. Look at this man Which sect and sect your martial arts routines come from, if you can be sure, please use Feige to pass on the letter to let me know."
"No problem, then you can set off. This incident really reminded us. It is a bit unpopular but we have almost forgotten its existence. At this time, it may give us a fatal blow! So you have to let The third prince asked someone to make a list of the existence of similar dream interpreters, and then he had to find a way to target these people." Yu Lei instructed.
After Xia Fei left, Liu Xing and Yu Lei met again for a while, and went back to the room to rest when they saw nothing to do.
Sleep until dawn.
Because there is no air conditioner in the inn in Feicheng, the temperature rises sharply after dawn, and Liu Xing wakes up directly from the heat.
"It's too hot these days."
Liu Xing washed his face and said helplessly: "I don't know how I got here when I was young and there was no air conditioner, but the weather was not as hot as it is now, right?"
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he heard a burst of cries from outside the inn.
Liu Xing, who had nothing to do, opened the window to watch the excitement, and found a few people downstairs carrying a box of goods, trying to sell something.
But what Liu Xing was concerned about was that all of these people had tattoos that were not clearly visible on their arms, and only one tattoo was on the left hand.
You must know that in Xinlong Empire, the left is the most respected, so this person should be the leader of this group of salesmen?
"What are you looking at?"
Yu Lei who pushed the door and entered said: "A Peng, if you have nothing to do in the morning, go to Yangjia Village, because I am quite famous in Liangcheng, so if that person is really a disciple of a certain sect in Liangcheng , then more or less met me once, so I can't go directly to Yangjiacun to meet that person now; and you know friends in Yangjiacun, Apeng, so there is a reason to go to Yangjiacun now, of course the most The important thing is that you are not well-known, so that person can't recognize you as the third prince."
"No problem, I will go to Yangjiacun after breakfast later, but Brother Yu, come and take a look, why do these sellers have tattoos on their hands?" Liu Xing said.
As we all know, tattoos in ancient times were basically associated with the word "stabbing", so serious people do not have tattoos, whether it is on the face or arms.
So Liu Xing thinks that these salesmen should have something to say.
"Oh, that should be someone from Snow Mountain Trading Company."
Yu Lei didn't even look at it, so he said directly: "Snow Mountain Firm is a well-known firm in the north, because the owner of this firm is the city lord of the cities in Snow Mountain, it's normal that you don't know, Ah Peng, after all, this firm rarely visits us. Here to do business, of course, it's not because they haven't opened up sales lines, but because their products are so popular that they are sold out before they reach us, so their salesmen will go back directly. "
"oh?"
Looking at Liu Xing who seemed to understand, Yu Lei went on to say: "The so-called Snow Mountain Cities are the cities located in the northernmost part, because they are all located near the Snow Mountain. All the cities in the Snow Mountain are the same as Boyang City, they only have a city lord but no prefect, and there are no outsiders in the city, so these cities only rely on us in name, and usually pay us some taxes."
Hearing Yu Lei's words, Liu Xing remembered that before he entered the martial arts module, he seemed to have opened a chess piece related to the snow-capped cities, and the identity of this chess piece was also a city lord?
"Snow Mountain Cities, strictly speaking, are the traitors of the Ice and Snow Kingdom in the north, but in fact, the previous king of the Ice and Snow Kingdom passed away quite suddenly, so several people stood up to fight for the throne. As a result, the person supported by the Snow Mountain Zhucheng failed. ; so the city owners of these cities had no choice but to choose to rely on us, because if they don’t look to us as a backer, then they will definitely die.”
Yu Lei said with a smile: "So the Snow Mountain cities have cut off the connection with the Ice and Snow Kingdom, so in order to obtain stable food and various daily necessities, they formed the Snow Mountain Trading Company to do business with us, but the goods of the Snow Mountain Trading Company are indeed It's pretty good, and it's something that we don't have here, so these goods can be sold out quickly; as for these salesmen with tattoos on their arms, they are similar to the people on our side who were stabbed to a certain place, and they belong to the kind Sinners who need to make up for their mistakes, you should understand what I mean, right?"
"Understood, these tattoos are to distinguish them from ordinary people like us, that's why the Snow Mountain cities dare to let them come to us to sell goods with confidence, but if this tattoo is placed on the arm, isn't it easy to hide?" Liu Xing frowned and said.
"That's why the snow mountain cities let them sell their goods in summer, because these sellers have become a little afraid of the heat after living under the snow mountain for a long time, not to mention wrapping themselves tightly in this summer, what do you think? You will all find it suspicious, right?"
While speaking, Yu Lei walked to the window, "Sure enough, these people have tattoos of aniseed snowflakes from various cities in the snow-capped mountains on their arms, but because their tattooing skills are a bit poor, the aniseed snowflakes look a bit messy. It is even more difficult to distinguish when you are far away; but this is a bit interesting. Usually, it is almost impossible for the Snow Mountain Firm to come to Feicheng, because they should have sold out when they were in Liangcheng. After all, Liangcheng has the ability to sell Snow Mountain. All the goods in the firm were bought, of course I mean under normal circumstances.”
"Obviously, the current situation is a little abnormal! If these people are really from the Snow Mountain cities, it means that the situation in the Snow Mountain cities is not very good this year, so they took out all the goods at the bottom of the box, That's why the sellers were sent to Feicheng to sell things; but this kind of thing happened several times, one time was because the Ice and Snow Kingdom wanted to trouble them, and the other times were avalanches in the snow mountain, which caused the snow mountain Zhucheng suffered a huge loss, so I reckon it should be the latter."
Just when Liu Xing was about to speak, Yu Lei continued: "By the way, A Peng, your family runs a medical clinic, so there are only medicinal materials such as snow lotus found in the snow-capped cities. You should be in need? So I'm going to buy some for you!"
In the world of martial arts, the gold content of snow lotus is not low. After all, it is a high-grade medicinal material, and if you add a prefix like "Tianshan", this snow lotus will become the top medicinal material in the world of martial arts, and can even be used as a medicinal material. Known as a treasure of heaven and earth!
So Liu Xing was overjoyed, and he wanted to refuse but greeted and said: "Well, isn't this costing brother Yu? But I have long admired Xuelian, because it is mentioned in many medical books that Xuelian has great effects, even It has the ability to save a life, so..."
Looking at Liu Xing who hesitated to speak, Yu Lei said with a smile: "Apeng, if there is no accident, I will stay in Tianshui Town for a while, so if I want to use this snow lotus, it may also be used in my on my body, so I am taking precautions, right? If you don’t need it, it’s my rent for you. Anyway, I have saved a lot of money over the years, but I have nowhere to spend it. After all, I I usually live in the third prince's residence, and I have places to eat and live when I go out."
After saying this, Yu Lei went downstairs to go shopping without waiting for Liu Xing's answer.
And Liu Xing also reciprocated, directly went to the shopkeeper of the inn and ordered a table of dishes, even if it was for breakfast now.
After ordering, Liu Xing also went out to watch the super high-end street stall of Xueshan Trading Company, because the things sold at this street stall were not cheap, but they were all good things visible to the naked eye.
But for Liu Xing, the most important function of this stall is to cool himself down, because the big box they just brought up contained a large ice cube, which can make people look cool even in the sun. air conditioner.
This is not easy.
It is not an easy task to use ice cubes in the ancient summer, especially such a large ice cube, just putting it here makes people envious.
So the passers-by who come to join in the fun at this time, in addition to watching the strange things, are also "blowing the air conditioner", because this kind of experience is very rare.
As for the goods on the stalls, as Yu Lei said, they are mainly all kinds of medicinal materials, and there are also some special products of the snow mountain, such as the fur of some unknown animals, pretty gemstones, and some A large opaque bottle, which seems to be filled with medicinal wine.
But what Liu Xing cares about the most is that there is a piece of cloth hanging on the top of the box, on which is written the price of each item, and there is an obvious note on the back - support barter, food is the best!
It seems that Yu Lei's guess is correct. It is very likely that the snow mountain cities have encountered an avalanche, which caused their food to become scarce, so they support barter at this time, and they can also use the most common food to buy food. Exchange these rare goodies.
It’s no wonder that they came to Feicheng to do business. It turned out that they heard that Feicheng had a large amount of grain stored.
So, at this time, Liu Xing had a very bold idea, that is to exchange all kinds of food stored in Tianshui Town for the goods of Snow Mountain Trading Company! Because in the previous series of operations, Tianshui Town has stored a lot of food, which must be able to support the players until the end of the module.
Therefore, Liu Xing and the others originally thought about the extra food, or used it to gather nearby NPCs, and if there was a chance, they would use it to exchange favors from the third prince. No matter how bad it was, they could improve their quality of life.
But at this time, it may be possible to directly exchange things for something that is very good for Tianshui Town.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing walked up to Yu Lei who was buying snow lotus, and expressed his intention to barter for things.
After thinking for a while, Yu Lei paid for the snow lotus in his hand first, and then led Liu Xing out of the crowd.
"A Peng, are you sure you want to do this?"
Yu Lei asked earnestly: "I don't know how much food you have prepared in Tianshui Town, so you have to make sure that the food is enough to cope with the difficulties ahead! Although the products of the Snow Mountain Firm are quite good, and they can be sold in this Time is a big advantage, but let's not waste food because of choking, after all, you are not alone now, so all your decisions should take everyone in Tianshui Town into consideration!"
Liu Xing smiled, nodded and said: "No problem, I have read the ledger before going out, so I know that Tianshui Town has stored enough food, and there is even a little too much food. Convert it into something more useful! What's more, the situation of the Baijia Ranch is pretty good, it can provide us with a steady stream of fresh meat, so you can rest assured, Brother Yu."
Since Liu Xing said so, Yu Lei could only support Liu Xing's idea, and began to bargain with Xueshan Trading Company on behalf of Liu Xing.
