[Full-time expert umbrella repair] How to survive in the wild with your enemies

The master scanned the surroundings viciously, and tightly held the crudely crafted vegetable basket with both hands.The old stall owner's eyes swept away to make sure that no one was paying attention, so he met Ye Xiu with a puzzled expression.

"Little brother, this piece of leather is not the same as the piece of scrap iron just now, is it to fool me?"

The old stall owner asked, reaching into the vegetable basket, carefully weighing a piece of leather inside.

It was a rabbit skin from Ye Xiushun, the fur was white with gray, and the tribesman who skinned it was very rough and frizzy, so Su Muqiu used it as a door skin to keep it out of the wind and snow for several months.

However, the old stall owner fumbled left and right, holding the vegetable basket, and refused to let go.

Using the vegetable basket as a cover, the old stall owner even bravely pulled off the slender rat tail at the end of the rabbit fur, but failed to pull it off, as if it was born like this, rather than artificially attached.

In addition, the fully preserved rabbit ears are not the usual narrow and long, but slightly shorter, with rounded upper edges... like a half-rabbit, half-mouse species.

The old stall owner held the piece of leather and looked at it again and again, unable to put it down, his eyes became greedy.

But he immediately concealed these emotions, and with a surprised expression, he said to Ye Xiu: "There are too few people who know this thing, and no one will recognize it if you take it to other places. Let me tell you the truth, this piece Leather is very rare, and from your accent, you are from another place, right? Your boss must have a status to get this kind of thing."

Hearing the old stall owner's words, Ye Xiu, who was holding a strange lock and trying to unlock it, looked up, paused for a moment, and then asked in a daze, "...Huh? You said, this thing is very rare?"

"Yes! Even if you know this general store, you can't swallow it. You have to go to the black market and underground auctions. If you don't worry, let me handle it. I have a channel, old man, and I can sell it without leaving a trace. Of course, I won't treat you badly. You five hundred sheep coins."

This city is called Yangcheng, which originated from the fact that the earliest households in the vicinity raised sheep, and gradually became rich accordingly, hence the name.Currency is also called sheep coin, but sometimes people are used to calling it currency directly.

According to Ye Xiu’s inquiry just now, the multi-grain bread that can keep you full for a day costs about one to three yuan. In addition, thanks to the butcher’s introduction, Ye Xiu also learned that you can buy a calf for [-] coins, and [-] coins , probably enough to buy a mature cow with average body fat.

The stall owner said sincerity, so Ye Xiu rubbed his fingers sincerely: "It's not natural to do this! I really don't know how much this thing costs, but no matter how you look at it, it's worth more than this price, right? If my boss gets angry, he will give me a Going to do the dirty and tiring work, who can I cry to?"

"I don't have much profit for five hundred coins on the black market! It's 520 at most, and you can earn a little extra." The old stall's doctrine is strict.

"Why is there no profit?" Ye Xiu turned his eyes, made a plan, and then raised his chin forward: "Here, the owner of the stall on the street, the yellow-haired stall, told me that he would accept me... 650 currency."

"What?!" The old stall owner turned pale with shock, and turned his head to stare angrily. The yellow-haired stall owner just happened to look up.The two may have been enemies for many years, and they stared at each other inseparably for a while, Ye Xiu's nonsense was a little more believable.

After a long while, the old stall owner and Ye Xiu looked at each other, and immediately began to haggle over the price, no matter what, they had to beat their old rival to win it.

The old stall owner was hiding the good things in his hands for fear of being seen by anyone, but the young man in the alley had sharp eyes, and he saw all the rat tail and rabbit fur protruding from the side of the basket.There were a few more doubtful shouts in his ears, the young man pulled over his collar, and continued towards the small communicator inside:

"Yes, I'm still watching. The man just now had a piece of sage rabbit skin on his hand."

"...Tell the boss that I am absolutely right, I am sure it is something from the Shadow Continent!"

The young man bowed his head and whispered, and left in a hurry.

Ye Xiu glanced at the opposite side casually, the alley was empty, only a few chattering stall owners around.

After discussing the price with the old stall owner, Ye Xiu collected the money and walked slowly into the alley.

A few street vendors on the side looked at him suspiciously, and saw Ye Xiu glance back and forth at the crowd from time to time, as if waiting for someone, so they returned to the topic.

Ye Xiu walked a few steps into the alley and stood against the wall. Half of his body was completely merged into the shadows. The sunlight from outside the alley made the other half of his thoughtful brows and eyes very clear.

A white image appeared and a silent ghost jumped out. The big leopard gracefully walked to Ye Xiu's side, rubbing its wet nose lightly against the back of Ye Xiu's hand. Ye Xiu understood, spread his palm, and the snow leopard's object rolled into his hand.

"Did it come from that person?" Ye Xiu happily patted the leopard's head, "The little cat did a good job."

"Meow!"

It was an exquisitely designed ruby ​​cufflink, which glowed with a clear and clean luster in the sunlight. There was a pattern engraved under the gemstone holder, which seemed to be a three-stringed harp surrounded by one-sided wings.The engraved pattern was really too small, so Ye Xiu squinted his eyes to distinguish it for a long time, then he simply gave up and decided to take it back to show Su Muqiu.

Someone yelled from behind without warning: "Hey, what are you doing here?"

Ye Xiu: "Huh? Waiting for someone."

Ye Xiu responded, turned around and pushed the leopard back very quickly.Seeing him hiding things, the gangster's eyes suddenly became malicious, he grinned at the corner of his mouth, took a big step forward, and actually fell to the ground on the spot, looked from under Ye Xiu's feet, and said shamelessly : "Come on, what are you hiding, let me see something good! The best thing is wine..."

The leopard was so big that it was half his height when sitting. Ye Xiu's figure couldn't block it at all, especially when he felt the head of the big fluffy cat under his hands rubbing restlessly, as if he thought Ye Xiu was there. Playing around with him, touching him happily, you can't hide it!

If this guy is timid, he wailes in fright and attracts the 'police', and he will be in trouble.

Ye Xiu touched the vibration blade on the side of his leg with his hand, and said with a friendly and enthusiastic smile, "Is there anything good to hide? It's just..."

The little gangster looked up unhappy, raised his head and spat: "Cut, there is nothing at all! Are you hiding a wool?!"

Ye Xiu paused in his heart, and finished the second half of the sentence with a smile on his face: "...It's just a sore shoulder, I'm here to do some gymnastics to stretch my muscles and bones. Come together! One two three, two two three." Then, As if to prove it, Ye Xiu twisted his arms and neck left and right.

gangster:"……"

Ye Xiu smiled, ignoring the inexplicable look in the other party's eyes, and looked at the leopard beside his legs. The leopard innocently bit the tip of its tail, and let out a deep meow from its throat.

Ye Xiu was amazed: "You can still decide who you want to be seen by? It's really convenient."

The gangster saw this guy doing gymnastics talking to himself, and suddenly felt that he had encountered a lunatic.

Ye Xiu walked out of the dark alley, and the snow leopard followed him step by step, but it didn't attract much attention. Ye Xiu simply pretended to be a cat and wandered around the market again.

...

Ye Xiu took photos of all the things he could see in the market, and sent them to Su Muqiu through Mu Yuchengfeng's information network.He was wandering among the crowds. Su Muqiu had already moved two mechas into the emptied factory. The factory was more than ten feet high. At this time, two mechas were just stuffed in, one black and one white, bathed in the high windows. The light, the visual effect is quite spectacular.

Holding the tools, Su Muqiu walked around following the wiring diagram attached to the information book that they dug out earlier, and temporarily reconnected the electricity and tap water to the factory.

When Ye Xiu returned to the factory, Su Muqiu was sitting cross-legged in front of the mecha, flipping through the photos Ye Xiu sent back one by one.

"Back?" Su Muqiu said.

"Ah."

Ye Xiu responded, raised his eyebrows and looked around at the several lights in the factory, and sighed: "Technical geeks save the world... Hey, why don't you recharge the mechs by the way? You can also use electricity, right?"

"The Federation calls this 'technical nerds rule the world'." Su Muqiu changed another photo, "The wires are too old, once they are connected to high-energy-consuming things like mechas, the wires can catch fire on the spot. And This power source is an illegal operation, and you are responsible for the huge power consumption? It can only guarantee daily power consumption such as lighting."

"Good news, our electricity bills and food have been settled. I guess the three rabbits are sold, and the electricity for several mechas is enough." Ye Xiu raised the things in his hand, "I spent some money on food and clothes. you do not mind?"

Su Muqiu didn't bother to pay attention to it, and waved his hand casually: "Okay, I see."

"Are you looking at the photo I sent back?"

"Hmm... the things in the photo, no matter how I think about it, I don't think it's right..." Su Muqiu said to himself, immersed in his thoughts.

After receiving the report from Ye Xiu that he had sold the leather from a vendor, "a piece of rabbit skin can be sold for so much money" caught his attention.Su Muqiu began to focus on things like butcher shops, statuettes of groceries, and oil paintings on vases, and looked at the animal paintings on them, but whether it was a white porcelain vase carved with a white rabbit, or a portrait of a lady holding a cat, or a water bird swimming in the river , and even the bull heads displayed at the meat stall are all similar to Su Muqiu's original star species.

"Come and see."

With a flick of Su Muqiu's fingertips, the projected photo floated in front of Ye Xiu. The latter glanced at it and replied clearly: "The creatures in the empire are probably of the same species, but they are almost the same. There is not much difference."

A rabbit is what a rabbit looks like, and a street rat is still that way.

In Nuo Da Bazaar, there was no place where they could not recognize or be familiar with species—it was completely different from the situation where the three views were subverted after they were forced to fall into that forest.

Su Muqiu pondered: "If the animals in our cognition are actually 'normal' here, then..."

The two turned their heads involuntarily, and looked at the man who was temporarily surrounded by the factory at the same time.
