Experience of living in a chaotic world of demons
Chapter 40 Entering the City
The autumn wind is bleak, and there is a bit of chill in the air. Gujiazhuang is gradually becoming more lonely. The clothes worn by the villagers are getting thicker and thicker. Some poorer families can only go out as little as possible except for necessary work.
The first is to prevent cold, and the second is to reduce consumption to achieve the purpose of saving expenses.
But all this has little to do with the main family.
Located at the top of the Gujiazhuang food chain, the members of the main family are incredibly wealthy, at least they don't have to worry about survival.
The main courtyard.
Making tea around the stove, three middle-aged men with different temperaments were sitting in the pavilion.
If anyone sees it, they must exclaim that the three masters of Gujiazhuang are actually gathered together!
One is dressed as a scholar, one is bald, and the other is much more plain. He does not look like a martial arts master, but more like an old farmer hoeing the ground.
Gu Jingang, a bald man, grabbed the tea cup in his hand and drank it all. The exquisite tea cup looked even more compact in his broad, calloused palms.
Gu Jingang smacked his mouth twice.
"This tea tastes really bad. It's very bitter. Chang Ming, you just like those arty people in the city. If you have the money, you might as well buy a few pieces of meat to eat."
Gu Changming was not worried. He sipped the light tea and narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to enjoy the changes. After a long time, he shook his head and smiled:
"I haven't seen you for a few days. King Kong, you would call me arty. That's not bad. This tea has to be tasted slowly to get the flavor. Naturally, someone as impatient as you can't get the true meaning of it."
Gu Jingang immediately snorted.
Gu Dajiang, who was dressed as an old farmer next to him, laughed.
"Of course, among the three of us, Chang Mingqin is in the most stable state of mind, but I don't care about that. Isn't he calling us here just to enjoy tea?"
He had a dark complexion and a friendly smile.
Gu Jingang's eyes lit up and he said quickly:
"But is the blood-strengthening pill thing settled?"
Gu Changming rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, feeling a headache caused by Gu Jinjiang's loud voice.
"That's right, that's why we called you here this time. We finally invited the alchemist Ge Qing from Canghe County to take action a few days ago. We will bring the demon wolf blood and other materials there and let him refine the blood-strengthening elixir. ”
"It's really difficult to ask this Master Ge to take action. It's been several months." Gu Dajiang couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, there is no way. A warrior cannot practice without the help of elixirs, so the alchemist's status is naturally high. Dr. Ge is highly praised in the city. He is one of the few alchemists who can refine blood-strengthening elixirs. It takes a lot of effort to ask him to practice alchemy."
Gu Jingang couldn't help but sigh:
"It would be great if we had an alchemist of our own."
Gu Changming laughed dumbly.
"If there is an alchemy master in charge, within a few years, the strength of our Gu Family Village will be more than doubled. Such talents are the treasures of all forces. If they are not passed down and cultivated, it is just a delusion."
Gu Jinjiang did not refute, he turned to:
"This demon wolf blood is of extraordinary value. Why don't I go and deliver it in person? That way you can rest assured."
Gu Changming shook his head and said:
"No, the Black Sand Gang is becoming more and more domineering now and is keeping a close eye on us. The bandits in the surrounding mountains and forests are also some ruthless people. There may be rebels fleeing from Yunzhou. If you go to the city alone, you will become suspicious. I I plan to let Dajiang go, he has a more stable personality.”
"Furthermore, Oe will escort Shouchi's purchasing team into the city in a few days and secretly carry alchemy materials. This will be inconspicuous and will not arouse suspicion."
Gu Dajiang nodded slowly.
"That's okay. I'll purchase supplies openly, and secretly I'll go find Master Ge to refine the medicine. It'll probably only take a few days."
Gu Jingang said hesitantly:
"Is there any risk in this? If someone attacks me..."
Gu Dajiang's strength was at the bottom among the three, and he was a little worried.
Gu Changming said:
"Act according to the rules. As long as the Blood Strengthening Pill is not exposed, the possibility of encountering an attack is very low. When we return, we will meet you halfway. If we get the Blood Strengthening Pill, everything will be safe!"
"good!"
…
Time passes.
The day for Gujiazhuang's purchasing team to enter the city is getting closer.
Gu Sheng was sorting out his harvest from hunting. He couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that the skins stacked up were such a big bundle.
Not counting the skins of the Silver Fox, just these skins are worth five or six taels of silver.
In addition, there are some velvet antlers, deer bones or other relatively rare medicinal materials. Hunters who occasionally see precious medicinal materials when hunting in the mountains will collect them in exchange for money. They are considered part-time medicinal collectors. Gu Erniu taught Gu Sheng how to identify some medicinal herbs.
Gu Sheng's gains were much greater than those of an ordinary Orion in a year.
This is also normal.
Gu Sheng's archery skills have reached a perfect level, and his hunting success rate is far beyond that of ordinary hunters.
In addition, Gu Sheng is alone, his expenses are not particularly large, and sometimes he is not in a hurry to sell his leather to the village at a low price, so the savings can be quite considerable.
Without having to support his family, Gu Sheng could save money more than ten times faster than others after meeting his own needs.
"After entering the city this time, I will definitely accumulate more than thirty taels of silver!"
Gu Sheng's eyes were full of joy.
For the people at the bottom, this was an unimaginable amount of wealth. Gu Sheng's father worked hard for most of his life and only saved half a tael of silver.
But what Gu Sheng saved in a short period of time was sixty or seventy times that of his father!
certainly.
There are many reasons for such an exaggerated gap.
Gu Sheng was not in good health when he was young. He often had headaches and was weak. He spent a lot of money on this, and his father's funeral also cost some money, so he had little savings.
Most of what Gu Sheng gained came from the silver fox and the hunting bows and short blades, which were rare.
However, even so, Gu Sheng accumulated wealth very quickly. If others knew about it, I'm afraid that the threshold of his house would be trampled by matchmakers from all over the country the next day.
"Go to the city tomorrow, and rest today!"
Gu Sheng prepared the ceremony for tomorrow and fell asleep.
The next day.
At dawn, Gu Sheng walked out of the village with the bundled skins. The silver fox skins and two hunting bows were tied in the middle, tightly, and others couldn't see them at all.
Outside the village.
There were already more than a dozen people waiting here.
There are basically no tenant farmers. Most of them are people with special skills in the village. Some of them want to go to the city to sell some goods for money to survive the winter, some want to go to the city to visit relatives, and some want to go to the city to gain experience.
Gu Sheng saw Gu Erniu.
Gu Erniu's legs have basically recovered, but he will feel a dull pain when running fast, so he has to continue to use medicine for a while.
He also tied a large bundle of leather behind him, which also contained two bows.
Gu Erniu saw the harvest behind Gu Sheng, and he sighed twice and exclaimed in a low voice:
"Ah Sheng, you are amazing. You have harvested more than I have harvested in less than half a year!"
When he killed Li Yan last time, he had seen Gu Sheng's archery and knew that Gu Sheng's archery realm had reached a height that he could not reach.
Now seeing these leathers, he immediately knew that Gu Sheng's archery skills would surpass his own earlier than he thought.
He couldn't help but marvel in his heart that Gu Sheng was not an ordinary person.
This low-key and calm personality is not something that ordinary people can learn.
While the two were talking, several hunters came over, also going to the city to sell skins.
Seeing the skins behind Gu Sheng, they were all stunned.
To some extent, the hunters' harvest can be equated with strength. Each of them silently raised Gu Sheng's status in their hearts, and they unconsciously showed more respect during the conversation.
The group waited.
Soon.
The village's purchasing team slowly came, with donkey carts and carts coming into view, as well as some drivers and porters. The purchases before winter were not small in scale.
