Martial Arts in a Troubled World: It Starts with Peeping at the Neighbor's Sister

Xu Hua walked out of the inn and went to the place where grain was sold. Xu Hua asked about it. Coarse grains cost seven copper coins per pound.

Refined grains cost fifteen copper coins per pound. The price of grain has skyrocketed so much. No wonder many people around him starved to death.

If he was still working in the mine a few months ago, his monthly salary would only be enough to buy four pounds of coarse grains. He would definitely starve to death. In addition to the increase in grain prices, meat prices have also increased.

For example, the more expensive black horn beef jerky used to cost thirty copper coins per pound, but now it costs sixty copper coins per pound. Although the price has only doubled, the price is indeed terrifying.

Ordinary families really can't afford it.

Now he finally understands why Feng Buping has to come out to make money alone. It feels like even Master Lin doesn't dare to eat ten pounds of black horn beef jerky every day.

At this moment, Xu Hua realized that the more than five thousand copper coins he had were still not enough. If he wanted to buy coarse grains, it would be fine, but if he wanted to eat good food, it would definitely not be enough.

What's more, Xu Hua is an iron warrior, and his consumption is very large. In addition, he needs to buy internal medicine and external medicine to improve his cultivation.

Thinking of this, Xu Hua felt that he was too poor.

Poor.

Xu Hua walked out of the store, and then he wandered on the street. In fact, it was not only the price of food that increased, but also the price of cotton and cloth, and charcoal fire.

It was cold and freezing, one was to eat, and the other was to keep warm. Both were indispensable, and the lack of one would cost a person's life.

Half an hour later, Xu Hua came to a large medicine shop. This medicine shop was not as big as the Chuntang in Heilong Town. Xu Hua asked about it, and the internal tonic medicine was now 500 copper coins per set.

Hearing this, Xu Hua once again lamented the importance of money.

Here Xu Hua also inquired about the Yangxue powder, which Xu Hua had used once. It was a pair given to him by Lin Yuan. After he soaked it, the effect was pretty good, and more than 30 upgrade points were converted.

But the price is also very expensive, close to a thousand copper coins per set.

It is really difficult to be poor in literature and rich in martial arts without strong financial support. This is just financial support, not to mention advanced skills, personal talent, etc.

Fortunately, Xu Hua does not need talent, anyway, he is just hanging on the wall, he just needs to slowly accumulate upgrade points.

To make money, you have to find a way to make money.

Xu Hua wandered around for a while and felt hungry again. He found an inn. This inn is quite popular and there are many people eating.

Xu Hua ordered a bowl of black horn beef rice.

After a while, the black horn beef rice was served. This bowl of rice tasted really good, and Xu Hua ate it in big mouthfuls.

At this time.

The people at the table next to him started discussing.

"Have you heard that Master Han has issued a task, saying that he wants warriors to accept the task for 3,000 copper coins."

"3,000 copper coins, this is not a small amount. It can buy 50 kilograms of black horn beef jerky and 200 kilograms of fine grain. If a family of three is frugal, it is enough for two months."

"That's right."

However, the other person shook his head and said, "Do you think this task is so simple? Dare to open 3,000 copper coins, which means that this task is very difficult. You want to earn money from the task, but the task wants your life."

"Brother Li, from your tone, Do you know what this mission is? "

"Well, I thought I wanted to make some money, but I went to see this mission, so I decided to give it up. I might lose my life."

"Brother Li, what exactly is the mission? Tell me about it."

"It's to find some good people to escort some food, dried meat, etc. to Yangqi Town."

"So it's to escort food. This mission shouldn't be difficult."

"Why not? Yangqi Town is 150 miles away from Liusha Town. There are many bandits on the way. To be honest, it's very dangerous."

As the few people were talking, the eyes of a person behind them condensed.

It was Xu Hua. Xu Hua was interested.

If he earned these three thousand copper coins, he could buy a batch of dried meat, food, and medicinal materials here and return to Heilong Town. At that time, he could practice while living a happy life with Zhang Wan'er. No matter how the wind and snow outside were, or how riots there were, it had nothing to do with him.

Xu Hua immediately stood up, walked to the table behind him, and put down a few copper coins, "Brothers, these copper coins are for you to drink a little wine, I want to find out some information."

Several people smiled and said: "Brother, please ask, we will tell you everything we know."

Damn it, money is still the best.

Just like Lan Xing in the previous life, money can make the devil work.

"Brother, you just said that Mr. Han issued a task? May I ask where Mr. Han's home is?"

...

After a while, Xu Hua walked out of the inn with satisfaction and rushed all the way to Mr. Han's mansion.

Soon.

Xu Hua came to the outside of Mr. Han's mansion. The mansion was very large, with two lions outside and red lanterns hanging. There were also many maids, coming in and out. Each maid was small and exquisite, with a tall chest. This was a wealthy family.

Several stone skin masters' guards saw Xu Hua coming and immediately blocked Xu Hua's way.

"Who are you?"

"I heard that Master Han issued a task, and I am the one who came to take the task." Xu Hua said calmly.

"Oh, so you are the one who took the task. Okay, follow me." Several guards took Xu Hua in.

Soon, Xu Hua also entered the hall.

There were seven or eight people standing in the hall. Xu Hua took a look and saw three stone skins, three iron skins, and the strongest one, who turned out to be copper skin.

Xu Hua took a look at the young man in brown brocade clothes. It was this man who was a copper skin master.

now.

A fat middle-aged man sat on a chair in the hall. It was Mr. Han. Behind him stood two masters, the iron masters.

This is a master raised by his Han family.

"Mr. Han, tell me what the mission is this time."

"Yes, Mr. Han, hurry up and say it. We can't wait any longer. The family still needs money."

Mr. Han looked at the seven or eight people and nodded: "The mission is to escort a batch of food back to Yangqi Town. Anyone who participates in this mission will receive three thousand copper coins."

Some people were originally in high spirits, but when they heard that they were going to Yangqi Town, their expressions changed, and several of them even lowered their voices.

"What, go to Yangqi Town to escort the food back, here."

"Yangqi Town is one hundred and fifty miles away from here. It is full of dangers. We have to pass through Yanzi Mountain. I heard that bandits are rampant in Yanzi Mountain. There is a man named Zhou

Soldier, I like to drink human blood after killing people. Forget it, I still don’t accept this mission, my life is at stake. "

Several people whispered.

Then several people clasped their fists and said, "Boss Han, I'm afraid we can't take on this task, sorry for bothering you."

Several people left one after another.

Boss Han's expression changed, but seeing that there were still three people left, he breathed a sigh of relief. This batch of food was very important to him, and it was okay to have three people.
