Chapter 33 Hawker
The banshee arrived quickly and left without any delay.
Sure enough, as she said, the two women reminisced about the past, talked about a lot of past events at Qin Chun Spring, and then left in a hurry under the moonlight.
Wei Wu was confused, but when he came back with the bead in his hand, he had a heavy look on his face, as if something big had happened.
"What's wrong?"
"I knew this would happen, but I didn't expect it would happen so suddenly."
Holding the pearl in his heart, he knew that the matter was of great importance, so he refused to show off and confessed to his master:
"Sister Jie Ling told me that An Yuan River God was furious when she learned that an eighth-grade water god was born in the territory. At this time, the river god's spies are probably on their way to the village."
"The crisis is coming, we have to prepare early." Xianzhu took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became firm.
"???"
Suddenly wondering if his memory of a certain period of time had been tampered with, Wei Wu listened to the two women chatting the whole time, but the information he obtained was completely different from that of his own Xiaohe mussel.
No longer entangled in a woman's heart, which is like a needle in the sea, Wei Wu touched his chin and said:
"It seems that there will be distinguished guests coming soon, so we have to make preparations early."
…
Two days later,
The village that had been peaceful for a long time suddenly became lively. A short merchant led two mules and horses and arrived at the village loaded with a variety of goods.
After the busy farming season, villagers and their children surrounded the vendors.
"Hey, why did you change people this time?"
"Awei is sick, I will run for him this time."
"Seller, please give me two taels of coarse salt and two balls of thread."
“Very good~”
"Seller, please bring some vinegar and tea. I'll exchange it for new rice..."
"Okay, wait a minute. Ten pounds of rice are exchanged for one tael of vinegar or five cents of tea. How much do you want to exchange?"
"Well, give me some salt instead..."
"Abba, I want to eat candied haws~"
"I don't sell candied haws on ice here."
"Then do you have butter cakes?"
"nor"
"Neither this nor that, what on earth do you have?"
"I am a grocer, not a treasure chest. If I want to eat candied haws and butter cakes, I have to go to the county town."
Wei Tao's face was full of disappointment, and he looked at his father pitifully. The latter looked helpless and could only coax:
"Study hard and Daddy will definitely buy you sugar-coated haws when you take the county exam next year."
Wei Tao looked troubled: "We have to wait for a long time for the county examination."
"Then add another bag of butter cakes."
Wei Tao couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "Then let's just say this, we gentlemen..."
“It’s a deal!”
After coaxing the child, Wei Changsheng carefully looked at the package on the donkey's back, as if he wanted to see through the wrapping cloth what kind of goods were hidden inside. Unable to come up with an answer, he could only ask directly:
"Do you have a mousetrap here?"
"Mousetrap?"
The salesman was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected that there would be demand for mouse traps in this remote place. He shook his head:
"I didn't bring it this time. How many do you want? I'll bring it to you next time I come back."
Wei Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "How about, let's get ten first~"
“Ten??”
Even though he was prepared, the vendor was still surprised when he heard Wei Changsheng's demand.
He did enough research before going out and knew that this village was a little different from other surrounding villages. It was an extremely rare and wealthy village.
But when Wei Changsheng asked for ten mouse traps, he knew that he still underestimated the village.
Mousetraps are different from ordinary objects. They contain gold and iron and contain mysterious mechanisms. They cannot be made by ordinary craftsmen and are expensive.
In the county, only wealthy families usually buy, but someone in this village actually wants to buy ten...
"Ten mousetraps...then you have to pay a deposit first."
The two agreed on the amount of the deposit, and just when Wei Changsheng was about to pay, a strange voice came to his ears.
"Small shopkeeper, do you want to accept the goods here?"
The two of them followed the sound, and the person who came was a young man in strange clothes. At first glance, this young man seemed ordinary, but the more he looked at him, the more interesting he became, and he couldn't help but have a good impression in his heart that he was not even aware of.
Wei Changsheng has been in the village for some time, and he boasts that he knows most of the villagers, and a few of them have acquaintance with each other and have more or less impressions.
But he had no memory of the young man in front of him, as if he suddenly appeared from the stone.
The vendor glanced at Wei Changsheng and saw that he didn't speak or pay. He looked like he was just waiting to see what happened. Then he turned to look at the new customer.
"Receive it, why don't you accept it? What kind of goods do you have?"
"Do you want a rat to fuck you?"
The young man said as he took out a dried rat from his arms and silently placed it on the vendor's scale.
Looking at the shriveled rat on the scale, the vendor couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, and almost couldn't help but curse.
"I don't accept mice here. If you really want to sell them, maybe you can go to the cat demon territory. Those cats like these gadgets the most."
"However, you only have one rat. It's a pitiful quantity. I'm afraid you won't be able to get half the money for the steamed buns."
"Oh..." The young man thought thoughtfully, turned around and pulled out a large package from behind and placed it in front of the vendor.
"Well, I don't have anything else here. I just have enough control over the mice. How about you go to the cat demon's territory for me now..."
"You mean to let me put aside my good business and make a special trip for you?" The hawker's expression changed and he said displeased.
The young man smiled and said: "You can teach me, kid. Go and come back quickly. You will be indispensable for your benefit."
"So, you came here specifically to cause trouble?"
The hawker's face was as dark as water. He finally realized that the strange young man in front of him was not here to sell things. He was clearly here for him.
This is my first time here, and I have never caused any trouble. First of all, I have ruled out revenge from my enemies.
'Could it be...'
His mind moved, and he thought of a possibility, and all the hair on his body stood up at the same time.
The atmosphere at the scene gradually became solemn.
Wei Changsheng, who was watching from the sidelines, looked at Wei Wu who was carrying the big bag thoughtfully, and then found that his line of sight was gradually lengthened to a position far away from the two of them.
The two people who were laughing and angry were clearly in front of him and within reach, but they seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall.
The young man's expression remained unchanged, and the smile on his face became stronger:
"It's obviously you guys who are here to cause trouble, why do you bite back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible aura emanated from this young man.
The hawker suddenly noticed that the young man's body was getting bigger and taller, standing like a towering mountain in front of him.
And he is like a little ant standing in front of a mountain. Even if a piece of stone falls from the mountain, it will crush him to pieces.
The vendor swallowed his saliva. At this moment, he finally realized that he had bumped into a great god without even realizing it.
He subconsciously wanted to step back, but found that no matter how hard he exerted himself, his legs felt like they were carrying a thousand pounds of weight and they could not move at all.
The hawker's expression changed drastically, and he said with a stern expression: "I am a member of the Traveling Chamber of Commerce. God, please think carefully about the consequences of offending our peddlers and lackeys!"
