Chapter 538 Mutual Use

538

Following Xiaoguding and his party, they were all smart people. They immediately understood that the old man Yueji did this just to please Xiaoguding and others. It's just that everyone doesn't understand that he clearly knows that he and others are from the northern mountains and forests, but why he wants to win over the people who are likely to get no reward.

"Moon chicken old man, why did you do this? You know..."

It's hard for Song Chuyao to change, so she asked when she thought about it.

Inexplicably, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in the eyes of the moon chicken old man, and then smiled as usual and said with a smile, "There are many friends and many ways. Maybe there will be places where the young ladies can help the old man in the future."

The little boned man and the little ghost became a great genius. He keenly caught a trace of disappointment in the eyes of the old man and smiled and said, "The old man doesn't have to be disappointed. Maybe I and my companions can help the old man now. I don't know where the old man's house is and how many times he has to come to set up a stall. Do you pay taxes on a monthly or daily basis?

The old man of the moon chicken looked at Xiaoguding and his party again, focusing on the green road and the street lights. Suddenly, he waved his hand and put away the goods on the stall and said to Xiaoguding, "It's by day. Why don't the prince and others talk about the poor house?"

Everyone vaguely guessed some eyebrows, frowned and scratched their cheeks inexplicably, and didn't know what riddle the two were playing.

"It's an honor, please lead the way first!"

Little Guding nodded with great joy, regardless of the hard plan he thought of yesterday, nor the speculation of Song Chuyao and others racking their brains.

There were many people on the road. Everyone only introduced their names at will and did not have too many discussions. I heard more about the introduction of the local customs here and the general situation of Qiyue City.

When Song Chuyao saw a patrol army in the city, she suddenly remembered something and asked strangely, "Old Moon Chicken, now in the war between the two worlds, have you not recruited practitioners to join the army?"

"Why not! The old man's eldest brother and second brother have all been drafted into the army, and now he doesn't know whether he will live or die. It also makes it much more troublesome for the old man to collect elixirs, and he can no longer fly out of thousands of miles away from the mountains and deep water to collect some elixirs. Recently, the harvest has been much smaller. It's not just the old man..."

Hearing about the army of recruiters, Cheng Zhiji, an old man, began to complain.

The street lamp looked at the moon chicken old man gathering in the later stage, and there was only one line of cultivation away from the Yuandan level, and asked puzzledly, "Why didn't the old man hit the Yuandan level? In this way, the collection of elixir is more efficient.

"Why don't you want to, but the old man's talent is extremely poor and doesn't want to waste elixir. But I didn't expect to live for more than 200 years. I'm close to close my eyes and can't advance to the Yuandan level. Maybe I usually rely too much on the two big brothers and become much more lazy!"

Cheng Zhiji sighed and was ashamed.

Xiaoguding smiled and asked, "Is that the old man's children have a large number of well-talented plastic materials?"

Cheng Zhiji shook his head and said, "The old man's children's qualifications are mediocre, but the eldest son has a grandson, and the second son has a granddaughter who is better. He is less than 20 years old. Like the prince and these three ladies, he has reached the middle of the gathering stage!"

Compared with the shocking news behind, Xiaoguding and others were more shocked by the previous news. Because they were puzzled, Xiaoguding strangely looked at Lu Luchan and the street lights.

Lu Lvchan blushed and bowed her head and said silently. The street lamp transmitted into the secret art: "Mr. Ding doesn't know something. Some ordinary people know that their qualifications are extremely poor. After reaching the gathering level, they will marry and have children, and entrust their hopes to their descendants for development. Like this old man, when he is only 200 years old, three generations live together, and it is very common in the world of cultivation.

Only then did Xiaoguding know that not all practitioners were like big families, thinking about forcing Qizhi to get married and have children.

Cheng Zhiji took Xiaoguding and others around the city, traveled dozens of miles, and came to ordinary houses in the west of the city. Here, unlike the several-storey high-style houses that Xiaoguding and others have seen before, the houses here are obviously shorter. The brick wall materials of each house are different in blue and white. The only thing that is common height and small is that there is no big palace with dragons and phoenixes, which are brilliant, magnificent and solemn and noble, and they are not always It covers an area of several mu, with clusters of houses, garden pools and so on.

Unlike the bustling city, the houses here are chaotic and crowded, and the road is sparse and much more deserted. The contrast is huge, which makes people a little uncomfortable.

"Yo, Brother Yueji found a big customer and came back so early. Don't you make a fortune? Remember to buy me a drink then!"

A middle-aged man with a square face came, with messy hair like a chicken coop, wrapped in a gray cloth on his back, and wanted to go far away. He greeted Cheng Zhiji with a smile, and politely nodded to Xiaoguding and others as a greeting.

Xiaoguding and others don't walk fast. When they come here from the free market in the city, the sky is bright. It's time to go out to do business. This guy is the same as Cheng Zhiji, and he is also ready to set up a stall.

Cheng Zhiji pointed to him and shook his head and smiled, "Lazy donkey Zhang, the sun has sunburned his buttocks. Can you take a seat when you go? Don't put it on. I've sold it for you. How about the profit? Why don't you take advantage of this time to go out and look for it and make some money.

Zhang, a lazy donkey, stretched out his hand and scratched the chicken coop head even more disorderly. He said with a wry smile, "My eldest brother has joined the army. I have gone through a lot of hardships and searched outside for half a month before I found such a thing. Can you collect another 30% of my profit and let my family drink the northwest wind? At most half of the profit, no more!"

Cheng Zhiji said, "Half-achievement is half-finished. If I hadn't looked at your poor boy and spread out such a lazy father like you, I wouldn't have been too lazy to help you. Don't be too lazy and save a little. Now, unlike in previous years, your eldest brother is not at home, so you should stay more and be diligent, or you can eat and wait to die! Give it to me, and you can continue to collect medicine.

The lazy donkey threw the package behind him, and then stretched out a palm and said, "First pay ten silver money in advance to save the emergency, my family..."

Cheng Zhiji patted his hand heavily and said, "There is no door! You have to hand over the old man to your wife, so as not to let you take this lazy donkey to drink and go crazy and don't do business!"

The lazy donkey pointed to Cheng Zhiji angrily and said, "You moon chicken..."

Suddenly, I saw Xiaoguding and others looking at him with a little contemptuousness. They were a little disdain, so angry that they blushed and shook their sleeves and said unhappily, "Well, if I had known I would have sold it by myself, I wouldn't bother you, this annoying noisy chicken!"

Cheng Zhiji watched the lazy donkey leave angrily and was not angry. He sighed, "Such a lazy man, pity his wife and son!" This boy is blessed. He is young and lazy, and makes them suffer in vain!"

Song Chuyao waited for the lazy donkey to go far away before spitting: "This guy is really lazy! In the past half month, only such garbage has been collected, and others only give half the profit, which is several times better than selling directly in the store!"

The shabby package of the lazy donkey Zhang is only wrapped in ordinary cloth, and some of the elixirs inside can be known that there is no middle-level elixir that can be put into the jade box. All of them are sold, and they are only worth 20 or 30 silver coins. Not to mention that it is a waste of time to set up a stall, and half of the profit is only one or two pieces of silver money!

"Let the ladies and gentlemen laugh!"

Cheng Zhijie shook his head and said, "This guy owes a lot of bad debts. Before he entered the city, some better medicinal materials were taken by the creditor to offset part of the debt at a low price. Only these inconsightable things will let him sell and pay back the money by himself."

Song Chuyao asked, "How to calculate the low price?"

Cheng Zhiji raised three dry fingers: "It's 30% less than the purchase price of the store's medicinal materials!"

Song Chuyao opened her big eyes and said in disbelief, "He is not only lazy, but also a fool? If he also does such a thing, when will he pay off his debts?

"He is lazy, not stupid!" Cheng Zhiji said, "The debt he owes to a bully in the city can only obey his orders obediently."

"A bully in the city, is there such a figure in this cultivation world?"

Although Song Chuyao despised the lazy donkey Zhang's laziness, she was very curious that this kind of bully, which is extremely common in the mortal world, would also appear in the world of cultivation, and couldn't help asking the bottom.

Cheng Zhiji waited to enter his room and said, "He is the brother-in-law of a lover of the city owner, known as the 'skinned butterfly'..."

Then, Cheng Zhiji briefly talked about the situation of the lazy donkey Zhang's family.

Zhang Cheng, a lazy donkey, is also known as Zhang Cheng, and he also has a brother in the Yuandan level. Because his cultivation talent is as poor as Cheng Zhiji, he is idle every day, but he is addicted to drinking.

His parents were better when they were there. They knew that he couldn't practice and could not be a tool. Early on, he used 200 gas-gathering elixir as a bride price to marry his family and seek his grandson to grow up.

Song Chuyao patted the table angrily and said angrily, "A woman is only worth 200 air-gathering elixir?"

Her move shocked a younger woman who had just come in, and the tea in her hand was almost spilled.

"Don't make trouble!"

Xiaoguding stared at her angrily and said, "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Do you think this is selling your daughter?"

Song Chuyao was even more angry. Liu Mei stood up and wanted to curse. Xue Yueer quickly pulled her and clapped her hands and said, "Don't talk nonsense, just listen."

The street lamps familiar with these inside information, Cheng Zhiji and even Ma Mingxiang shook their heads.

They didn't say anything, but Cheng Zhiji still explained, "In our small households, 200 gas-gathering pills are a heavy betrothal gift, which is worth 4,000 silver! Ordinary people's marriages range from one hundred to one hundred and one hundred. This is still the lazy father-in-law who dislikes him for being lazy and worried that his daughter will suffer with him. I didn't expect it to be so now. It's a sin!"

Hearing that those elixir are worth 4,000 silver, it seems that the amount is indeed not small. Song Chuyao thought of the elixir refined by herself and others. There is still a considerable large part of the raw materials. They are two Yuan Dan-level masters, and there is also a large supply of the Lu family. It is really the elixir materials found by herself and others. Except for the unexpected harvest of the silver mackerel demon, I'm afraid it's not enough to refine 100 gas pills.

Thinking like this, her anger subsided, but she still couldn't figure out why there were such mercenary parents in the world to treat her daughter's lifelong happiness as a business.

Inexplicably, she is more angry with such a despicable behavior than those robbers who robbed their homes.

Probably, it's because she is a woman.

In Song Chuyao's wild thoughts, Cheng Zhiji continued to tell the unfinished story.

Marrying a wife for his useless little son, Zhang Cheng's parents looked for a panacea and did some sewing for clothes, which became more difficult. Especially when Zhang Cheng's wife was pregnant, Zhang's father often went deep into the rare mountains and forests to search for more elixirs. Unfortunately, he met the monsters in the later stage of the head gathering, and died in the war, and ended up with no bones.

Since then, the Zhang family has gone downhill. According to the news, Zhang's mother fell ill, cried for a few days, and was paralyzed in bed. The boss of Yuandan was forced to leave the customs with all his strength. He went out to find elixirs and maintain his family. While treating his mother, he tried his best to help his younger brother's family early to pick up his father's way to find some elixirs for his younger siblings.

For good, the boss became a weapon, so he looked for the elixir for several years and unconsciously advanced to the Yuandan level. However, Zhang San lost his discipline during this period. He often sold the elixir found by his eldest brother to drink, and even secretly went to the dark kiln to have fun.

When Zhang's wife learned the news that he had become worse, she was so angry that she wanted to go from her mother's house. Zhang's mother, who missed her deceased husband's illness, was sad and angry, and finally died.

Disappointed, his eldest brother no longer handed over the medicinal materials to him for sale, and all of them were sold by the moon chicken old man. First, he temporarily maintained the normal life of his sister-son and son, and no longer asked him to practice successfully. At the same time, Brother Zhang Cheng began to plan his own family.

He lost control and lost the source of money. Sometimes Zhang Cheng, who was drunk, went into the dark kiln for fun and had no money to pay the debt, so he owed the debt of the skinned butterfly.

The skinned butterfly is afraid that there is also a Yuandan-level brother in his family, and does not dare to do bad things. According to his rules, Qiangxian first draws the middle-level elixir to pay off the debt every time Zhang Cheng collects the elixir and returns to the city, and does not increase the debt.

Originally, it would not take long for Zhang Cheng to pay off his debts, but he was too lazy and greedy for enjoyment. Before he paid off his old debts, he wanted to drink and play with women. The debt slowly rose more and more.

There is a middle-aged and upper-level monk brother. He doesn't worry that he won't return it. He doesn't have the ability to pay it back. He also takes the initiative to lend him money to drink, which has increasingly developed Zhang Cheng's lazy inertia.

Zhang Cheng's brother had no choice but to care about his life and was responsible for the livelihood of his brother-in-law, mother and son, so he delayed his marriage until he was recruited into the army.

The wife of the Zhang family, who lost financial assistance, usually barely lived by washing clothes and other jobs. Only some of the money saved and a small amount of money sent by her mother's family were robbed by Zhang Cheng to drink and fool around instead of paying off debts.

Song Chuyao and other women became more and more angry. Liu's eyebrows couldn't be opened, their silver teeth clenched, and their fists were unconsciously pinched tightly. Forced by the suppression of Xiaoguding, they did not make a special move of claping the table and scolding.
