I woke up and became a mountain!
No big deal, it's just a mountain, right? No need to eat or drink, how great.
Wait, this is another world?!
Xianxia, or something bizarre?
...Chapter 135 Yu Zhongdou's Mission After eating the bone-eating ants, the yellow-throated marten showed an impatient expression and hid slightly to the side, not allowing her to touch it.
Wei Yiyi felt a little regretful, but she knew that she couldn't be too hasty.
She just arrived, it’s normal not to trust her!
But it doesn’t matter, one day, she will definitely “impress” it and make it make a contract with her.
She clenched her fists and encouraged herself.
The yellow-throated marten glanced at Wei Yiyi and had no idea what she was doing. It had finished eating, so why didn’t she leave?
Forget it, if she doesn't leave, it will.
The yellow-throated marten wiped her hand with its tail as a farewell and left.
The fur on its back is like ancient wood that has been deposited by time, showing a deep and rich brown color. The luster seems to be silk that has been polished countless times, delicate and smooth. As it moves, light and shadow flow through the fur, changing into charming colors.
Wei Yiyi was dazzled: Ah Huang is so handsome!
Look at its footsteps, so light, its four legs are short but powerful, and every step is silent. If she hadn't figured out its daily patrol route, it wouldn't have been so easy to find it.
When the gazes behind him disappeared, the yellow-throated marten, who was very concerned about his idol image, breathed a sigh of relief, jumped onto the top of the wall, and ran away in a few steps.
After the patrol, the yellow-throated marten returned to the mountain temple and met Yu Zhongdou and the other man outside.
[Are you back?] 】Lili was very happy to see the yellow-throated marten.
The yellow-throated marten greeted calmly: [Hmm! Are you and your host done? 】
Lili: [Well, today's training is over, and I have explained everything that needed to be said. The host brought me here to say goodbye to you. 】
The yellow-throated marten knew it when it arrived. Once it adapted to life in Longyang Village, Lili would leave Longyang Village with its host and go elsewhere to perform the tasks assigned to them by the mountain god.
The yellow-throated marten was a little envious.
Of course, it was not envious of Lili for having a contract with a host. What it envied was that Lili was able to leave the territory of the Mountain God and help the Mountain God complete tasks.
I don’t know when it will be able to be as loyal to the Mountain God as Lili’s host.
Yu Zhongdou also spoke a few words to the yellow-throated marten, which were conveyed by Lili.
It can be seen that the goblin who came to the village did not like him very much, as if he had stolen something from their home.
Turning his head to look at Lili who was happily talking to the yellow-throated marten on his shoulder, Yu Zhongdou seemed to understand something.
It turns out that he has experienced the "treatment of an unpleasant son-in-law" before he even got married?
It’s not surprising that he thought this way. He was really familiar with this matter. He had always “disliked” Gao Guangliang before.
[Be careful!] 】The yellow-throated marten glanced at Yu Zhongdou and told Lili, "Don't let anyone sell you out." 】
Lili pouted: [I won’t let anyone sell me out. The host will protect me! 】
Yellow-throated Marten: I'm talking about you, the host!
Yu Zhongdou: Is it possible that it is talking about me?
After finally taking Lili away, Yu Zhongdou could feel that the yellow-throated marten was still following them when he left the village, and it looked a little worried.
If it weren't for the fact that this kind of goblin without a contract could not leave the territory of the mountain god, Yu Zhongdou even suspected that it would continue to follow.
…
Blue Tile Town.
Before entering the town, Yu Zhongdou shrunk Lili to the size of a finger and hid it in his collar. He also took out a package that had been prepared long ago from Niu Ming's space.
The package contained hemostatic herbs, dried persimmons, dried kiwis, and amulet pendants given to him by the mountain god, asking him to see if he could sell them and act accordingly.
If it can be sold, it will be a way out for the village.
If I can’t sell it…
They'll think of other solutions.
This was Yu Zhongdou’s first time to come to Lanwa Town. He found that this town was much larger than Quanchun Town. The city gate was particularly high and there were guards at the gate.
Everyone who entered had to pay two copper coins.
He arrived a little late. Those who wanted to enter the city had already entered. Those who did not enter the city were refugees who came from nowhere and were gathering in groups of three or four near the city gate.
Yu Zhongdou had heard rumors about "refugees" and "natural disasters" before, but their village had not yet reached the point where they had to flee the disaster. Later, he met the mountain god, and as conditions improved, the idea of fleeing the disaster became even further away from him.
If he hadn't seen these refugees, Yu Zhongdou would have almost forgotten that there was still a famine outside.
Yu Zhongdou was not familiar with the situation and did not dare to approach the refugees. Instead, he paid the money and went straight into the town.
After I went in, I found that there were actually refugees in the town, looking like beggars, begging.
Some kind-hearted people would give some food, while others would just be indifferent and drive people away, asking them to stay away from their shops.
Yu Zhongdou first went to buy a piece of cake from a lady selling cakes, and then pretended to chat with her and asked her about the things happening in the town.
The old lady took a look at Yu Zhongdou's package and asked: "You came in from outside, right? To visit your relatives?"
Yu Zhongdou said, "I'm from Niba Eighteenth Village. I want to go to the city to exchange some things. Auntie, do you know which store sells wild goods from the mountains?"
"Are you selling wild goods? What are they?" the old lady asked. "Your bag doesn't look like much. Would you like to show it to me? I might take some."
Yu Zhongdou said embarrassedly, "Auntie, I didn't bring much this time. I mainly want to find a shop to do long-term business. As you know, the news is not very good recently. There are reports of disasters outside. My father is unsure, so he asked me to take some things to the town to see if I can exchange some money to buy some food to store back."
When she heard that the other party wanted to do long-term business, the old lady did not stop him. She told Yu Zhongdou an address and reminded him not to go to the wild goods store in the east as it was easy to get scammed there.
Yu Zhongdou thanked her profusely and even took out two dried persimmons as a thank-you gift to the old lady.
Yu Zhongdou went straight to Qiao’s Wild Grocery Store.
Unexpectedly, when the waiter saw Yu Zhongdou's dress, he showed a disdainful look and almost drove him out. The shopkeeper looked friendly and scolded the waiter immediately, asking Yu Zhongdou to take out the things for a look.
"This thing..." Shopkeeper Qiao pinched the dried persimmons, looking puzzled, "What kind of wild stuff is this? Why haven't I seen it before? Are you sure this thing is edible and won't kill people?"
Yu Zhongdou: "It's definitely not going to kill anyone. Every household in our village eats this. It's called persimmon. It looks like this when it's dried. It tastes sweet. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Afraid that Shopkeeper Qiao would not believe him, Yu Zhongdou tore off a piece and started eating it in front of him.
Shopkeeper Qiao then tried a piece and was a little surprised.
This thing is comparable to the candied fruits he had eaten before. It is sweet and has a fruity aroma. It is perfect for people who are not particularly fond of sweets.
It just so happens that the boss's old lady's birthday is in a few days, and he is worried about what gift to give her. This thing is good, so he can prepare some.
But merchants always like to bargain, so Shopkeeper Qiao didn't show it, but said lightly: "The taste is a little bland. You are a peasant, and you may not know the taste of the ladies in this town. They like sweet food, the sweeter the better."
How would Yu Zhongdou know? He only knew that everyone in the village, young and old, loved to eat it. He had never been here before, so how would he know what the people in the town liked to eat?
Therefore, just let Manager Qiao name a price. If he thinks it is suitable, he will sell it; if not, he will not sell it.
It’s not easy for them to get this thing!
There are only a few fruits on a tree, and you have to pick them and dry them in the sun, which is very laborious.
