Li and his brother walked on the lively and noisy streets of Qinyang City, looking left and right. There were various shops and restaurants on both sides of the street. Many shopkeepers stood at the door and shouted loudly to solicit business.
The little girl saw the familiar millet and pure white new rice piled in the wooden cabinet at the door of a shop, so she walked over and looked carefully at the price tags of various rice grains in the rice shop.
Rice is more expensive than millet, new rice is more expensive than old rice, and good new rice costs nine cents per catty.
Two hundred kilograms of new rice equals eighteen hundred wen.
Li and his brother left the door of the rice shop and walked aimlessly on the street, looking at the prices of various items.
Candied Shanlihong costs a penny a pack, so expensive.
Beautiful copper hairpins cost sixty cents each, so expensive.
The floral brocade from Songyang Mansion costs fifty taels of silver a piece, so expensive.
Li took his brother to the door of a mountain goods store. This mountain goods store occupies more than ten doors facing the street. It has an extraordinary momentum. On the plaque at the door, there are six characters of Qinyang He's Trading Company.
Li Daidi looked at the large characters with iron hooks and silver hooks, and vaguely felt that there were several moves with weapons in them, but he didn't know what weapons they were.
She used her eagle eyes and looked into the mountain goods store. There was a row of shelves filled with leather goods.
There are rabbit skins, deer skins, wolf skins, bear skins, fox skins... They are all tanned by tanners, and they are clean and shiny.
Daidi Li looked at the price tags next to these leather goods and opened his mouth slightly.
Only then did she realize that the animal skins she usually ate were so expensive.
An ordinary deer skin can buy hundreds of kilograms of millet, and bear skins and fox skins are even more expensive. A good fox skin can cost dozens of taels of silver.
One tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand penny, and one thousand penny can buy more than 170 kilograms of millet!
Li Daidi was holding on to his straw sandals, his steps a little unsteady.
The little girl remembered that she had seen a man in a long gown at the foot of the city wall who was writing letters for people, so she ran there and waited until the fat old woman who wrote letters home to her son left, then she walked over little by little and stood there.
In front of Mr. Changsha's desk.
Li Daidi took out a polished piece of pyrite from his belt and placed it on the table.
"Grandpa, I want to ask you something."
The old man in a long gown smiled and touched his beard, took Li Daidi's hand, and put the piece of pyrite back into her palm.
"I don't want anything from you, just ask. If I know, I will tell you."
"Thank you, grandpa."
Li Daidi paused and asked seriously:
"Grandpa, is there a sea in our world? Where is the sea?"
The old man in a long gown had a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
"Yes, the sea closest to Qinyang is in the east. It is close to Boyang Mansion. It is more than 1,200 miles away. When my hair was not white, I used to sell fish floss at the beach. It cost me a lot of money just to go there.
In the past six months, I also encountered bandits and pirates, and almost didn't come back."
"Grandpa, is the sea really that big? It's not as big as the head at a glance."
"It's really that big. Even if you get on a boat and sail hundreds of miles into the sea, you can't see the edge. Once you reach the sea..."
…
Li took her brother back to the mountains next to Xiaosongzhuang. She didn't eat anything for a whole day and night, so she shot a deer next to a mountain stream, roasted it and ate it whole without adding salt.
Bear skins and fox skins are the most expensive in mountain goods stores.
It's not easy to sell bear skins. People want to ask how you, a little girl, got the bears skins.
Li Daidi thought about it, jumped up the tree, and jumped deeper into the forest with the movement of a magpie stepping on the branches.
She and Liang De had almost eaten all the foxes in this area, and there wasn't much left, and their fur was all mixed and unsightly.
She looked at the furs in the mountain goods store from a distance. The most expensive fox furs were pure colors without any stray hairs. Pure white and pure black were the most expensive.
She had never seen this kind of fox in this area, but she heard from the old people in the village that there were snow-white vixens in the mountains, so she decided to go deeper into the mountains and take a look.
My father and mother-in-law told her not to go into the mountains since she was a child, because there are monsters in the mountains that can eat people.
But the master told her that monsters are more powerful beasts. Now she is equivalent to the seventh grade of a public full-time martial arts school in the known worlds. Ordinary monsters can't beat her, so there is no need to be afraid.
Li Daidi flew up and down like a black hawk circling over the mountain forest.
A pair of eagle eyes scanned everywhere, looking for the shadow of the white fox.
After searching for three to five hours, Li Daidi was passing by a cliff covered with dead vines when a white phantom flashed quickly from her peripheral vision.
Li Daidi immediately flew down from the sky with an eagle swoop, stopping right in front of the snow-white fox.
This fox has snow-white fur and is twice as big as an ordinary fox. It looks like a white wolf.
Its two big tails were swinging fluffily behind it, its round eyes were glowing with green light, and it was staring at Brother Li in front of it with vigilance. It let out a threatening growl from its mouth, and its sharp fangs and claws gleamed coldly in the sun.
Sparkling.
Brother Li scratched his head.
"Why do you look so weird? What did you eat to make you look like this? I don't know if people will accept it."
The black-faced little girl stretched out her hand and gestured, thinking about how to pull off the extra tail without damaging the other parts of the leather.
The two white foxes showed no intention of retreating when they saw the enemy in front of them. They first took two steps back, and then rushed forward with all four legs!
The white fox's movements were incredibly fast. Its entire body turned into a silver arrow, and its sharp teeth bit Li Daidi's throat!
Li Daidi was not in a hurry, the inner energy of the iron flow condensed on the edges of his palms, his palms were intertwined, and he slashed towards the white fox in the air with a well-practiced double-sword scissors.
The wind howled and white shadows swayed.
The front ends of the four legs of the two white foxes lit up with green light, and the demonic wind suddenly rose. The white foxes used the force of the wind to change direction in the air, and even dodged to avoid the inevitable blow from Brother Li.
Li Daidi had exhausted all his moves and was unable to withdraw his hands. He was unable to change his moves to pursue him for a while.
She has always lacked an opponent of comparable strength. She usually used Yan Jian to kill tigers and black bears with one palm. How could she have imagined that this white fox could change direction in the air.
The eyes of the two white foxes glowed with green light, and dozens of wind blades condensed and formed in the air. As they waved their sharp claws, the wind blades all struck towards Brother Li's back!
A sharp wind blade capable of cutting through towering trees struck Li Daidi's back. The sound of steel clashing sounded one after another. Li Daidi lost his footing and was knocked to the ground by the wind blade, raising a large amount of dust.
The black-faced little girl got up from the ground, wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corner of her mouth, patted the dust on her body, and said to the two white foxes floating in the air:
"You are doing great harm."
The surging iron current boiled in the little girl's meridians. For the first time since practicing the Fengming Iron Shirt, Li Daidi pushed his inner energy to the extreme state.
The faint chirping of young phoenixes sounded, and the iron color under Li Daidi's skin became more and more obvious. The external energy of hundreds of birds collected from the feathers for dozens of days gathered behind her back, making her body as light as a flying swallow.
Extremely.
At this time, the air was like a pond of heavy water to her, and the little girl floated up.
The two white foxes felt the threat of fatal murderous aura, so they did not hesitate, and used all their demonic power to escape through the wind. A silver arrow wrapped in green light was as fast as lightning, and they escaped several feet away in the blink of an eye.
Li Daidi pressed down with one palm, using his energy to counter-shock and rotate his body, turning into a phantom that broke through the air, tearing apart the stagnant air.
That falcon-like phantom was faster than the two-tailed white fox Fengdun. It caught up with the tail of the silver arrow and completed three movements in an instant at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.
The harrier flies, the bird falls, the crow rides on the dragon!
The phantom turned into reality. Li Daidi stepped on the backs of the two white foxes with his feet together, and pressed the white fox's head with his right palm. The dense penetrating force penetrated directly into the skull, destroying everything.
The two white foxes whined, the blue light in their eyes disappeared, the hundred-year-old demonic power disappeared, and the corpse fell from the sky.
Li Daidi picked up the white fox by its neck, landed lightly on the ground, tilted his head and thought for a while, then pulled out a big tail and began to peel the skin carefully with a knife.
Above the cliff, the big man with a bow hiding under the rocks breathed a sigh of relief and continued to quietly follow Daidi Li.
