While Luo E, Lu Tian and others were on their way, the villagers of Huangyan Village got up one after another, and they soon discovered the silver left at their door.
The most are five or six liang, and the few are only two or three liang.
Get rich! Get rich!
The villagers who picked up the silver behaved like thieves. Not only did they not go out, they even closed the door behind their backs.
Money cannot see the light of day.
On the way to the town market.
"Mom, why is it so strange today? I haven't met anyone else." Zhao Di looked around and found that she hadn't met anyone after walking for so long. She felt very strange.
At this time in the past, we could already see other people going to the market in the village.
"Maybe they are already in front." Luo E replied.
"Then let's hurry up."
The pace of the three of them continued to quicken.
town, market.
The three of them rushed to the market, found a deserted place, and put down today's goods.
"Selling charcoal~"
"Selling bamboo baskets~"
Looking at the pedestrians passing by, the three of them started shouting.
On the other side, Lu Ning glanced at the three people from a distance and walked in the opposite direction.
This was Lu Ning's first time coming to the town's market, and his eyes were full of curiosity.
The stalls are lined up one after another. Although they are simple, they are orderly.
There are vegetable sellers, fish sellers, meat sellers, charcoal sellers, kitchen utensil sellers, etc. It’s dazzling to see.
"It's quite lively."
The environment here reminded him of a market on Earth.
Lu Ning was very interested and watched as he walked.
Soon he stopped in front of a man selling yam.
There were some medicinal materials in front of the man, including Gastrodia elata, Codonopsis pilosula, Polygonatum sibiricum, Chonglou, Wulingshen, Chaga antler, Shenjing tea, etc. Except for a few that Lu Ning knew, there were many medicinal materials that he could not name.
And most of them are fresh.
He left a stall next to him. The owner of that stall was an old man. There were some mushrooms on the stall, including various types.
"Excuse me, are there no ginseng for sale?" Lu Ning asked the man.
Hearing Lu Ning's words, the man couldn't help but smile: "You kid, do you know how much silver a ginseng plant is worth? Even ninth-grade ginseng is worth twenty taels of silver. Even if I have it, can you afford it?"
After he finished speaking, the man looked at Lu Ning with a half-smile, thinking that a child who didn't understand anything was quite interesting.
Hearing the man say twenty taels of silver, Lu Ning's expression suddenly became surprised.
He didn't know how to classify the grades of ginseng, but he heard from the big man that even the lowest grade of ginseng cost twenty taels of silver, so he really couldn't afford it.
"It seems that the calculation is in vain." Lu Ning was disappointed in her heart.
Originally, he planned to use five taels of silver to buy some medicinal materials to see if taking them could increase the energy of his system.
And ginseng is a powerful medicine, so it is naturally his first choice.
I didn’t expect ginseng here to be so expensive.
"Then how much do these Gastrodia elata and Codonopsis pilosula cost?"
"These are cheap. Gastrodia elata costs one tael per catty, and Codonopsis pilosula costs ten cents per catty."
"Give me a pound of Codonopsis first."
When he heard that Lu Ning wanted to buy Codonopsis pilosula, the man suddenly beamed.
"Okay!"
He really didn't expect that the humble child in front of him could actually afford medicinal materials. Even the cheap Codonopsis pilosula cost ten cents per pound, which was simply not something ordinary families could afford.
The man took the weight and weighed a pound of Codonopsis pilosula to Lu Ning, and carefully tied it with hemp rope.
"Ten cents." The man held Codonopsis pilosula and waited for Lu Ning to give him the money.
Lu Ning dug around in his pocket and took out a couple of silver coins and handed them to him.
Seeing Lu Ning directly take out one tael of silver, the man looked slightly surprised. He didn't expect that he would take out so much money. This one tael of silver is enough for an ordinary family to eat and drink for a year.
He glanced at Lu Ning in surprise, "This little brother
Brother, I can’t find it.”
Unconsciously, his title has changed.
"I have no small change."
"Here~" The man hesitated for a moment, "How about you take a pound of this Gastrodia elata and treat this Codonopsis pilosula as a gift from me. Do you think so."
Lu Ning shook his head. For the time being, he just wanted to try whether taking Codonopsis pilosula could increase the energy of his system. He would not buy a large amount of medicinal materials until the effect was seen.
If Codonopsis pilosula is useless, Gastrodia elata is also useless.
The man hesitated for a moment, looked around warily, and suddenly said to Lu Ning mysteriously: "I just saw you asking about ginseng, do you want ginseng?"
"You have?" Lu Ning was surprised.
If you have ginseng, that's even better.
"I don't have the whole ginseng plant, but there are some roots. Let me show it to you."
The man carefully took out a handkerchief from his arms. This handkerchief was actually made of fine silk. He spread out the silk to reveal a few ginseng tendrils inside.
"This is a ginseng that was discovered in our village before. It is three hundred years old. I only got a few roots. If you want it, I will sell it to you for ten taels."
"Ten taels? Didn't you say that a ginseng plant only costs twenty taels of silver? Why are you selling so many ginseng roots at such an expensive price?"
"This is not ninth-grade ginseng, this is fourth-grade ginseng!"
Fourth-grade ginseng is more precious than ninth-grade ginseng, so it is naturally more expensive to sell.
"I don't have that much silver. Can you sell me one tael of silver first?" Lu Ning spread out the one tael of silver in his hand.
"This~" The man hesitated for a while, then nodded vigorously, "Okay."
The man picked out the smallest and thinnest root among the ginseng roots. He took a tael of silver from Lu Ning's hand and then handed the root to Lu Ning.
"Take it carefully so you don't lose it," the man warned.
After taking the money, the man was also happy.
One tael of silver is not a small amount to him.
Lu Ning ignored the smiling man. He held the ginseng root in his hand, quickly walked to a deserted corner, and then directly stuffed the ginseng root into his mouth.
After chewing a few times, my mouth was filled with a bitter taste.
"Gudong." Swallowed it in one gulp.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but he felt a warm current rising from his lower abdomen after a while.
Lu Ning stared at the system in his mind.
He found that as the warm current rose, the energy also began to rise rapidly.
[System is Activating (Energy 4/100)]
【Energy 5/100】
【Energy 6...7...】
In an instant, the energy reached [29/100]
"Great, useful!"
Lu Ning became excited.
He never expected that it would rise so much all at once.
It is indeed a three-hundred-year-old ginseng, even one root has such great effects.
"Sell me another four taels of silver ginseng whiskers."
Lu Ning walked up to the man again and handed over all the remaining four taels of silver in his hand.
"Okay, okay, right now!"
The men were so happy that they were a little incoherent.
He excitedly took out his handkerchief, took out four ginseng roots and handed them to Lu Ning. When passing them over, he did not forget to take the four taels of silver from Lu Ning's hand first.
Pay the money with one hand and receive the goods with the other.
Lu Ning took the ginseng whiskers and planned to leave.
"Little brother, please be patient." The man called out to Lu Ning.
"What's up?"
"My name is Yan Honggui, old man. Usually everyone calls me Gui, old man. I don't know what you call me, little brother."
"My name is Lu Ning."
"It turns out to be little brother Lu Ning."
"Little brother, if you need any medicinal materials in the future, just come here to find me. Old man, I live in Heishu Village next door. If you can't find me here, you can go to the village to find me."
"Okay, I get it."
Lu Ning nodded, took the ginseng whisk and left immediately.
After arriving at a deserted corner, Lu Ning took out the ginseng tendrils again and ate them one bite at a time.
Soon, all four tiny ginseng tendrils entered his stomach.
As the warmth flows in the stomach, the energy of the system begins to rise rapidly.
【Energy 70/100】
【Energy 100/100】
[System activation successful]
"Very good, the activation was finally successful!" Lu Ning felt excited.
【Lu Ning】
[Power: 0.4]
【Speed:0.3】
【Defense:0.3】
【Spirit:1.4】
[Attribute points: 1.29]
As the system is activated successfully, the system panel changes again.
The properties panel is similar to the game panel in my impression.
"The attribute point of a normal adult is 1."
If you calculate it this way, except for his mental attributes which are a bit high, his other attributes are pitifully weak.
Fortunately, there is still energy left after just activating it, and there are still 1.29 attribute points that he can freely distribute.
"Where should we allocate first?" Lu Ning was hesitant.
Logically speaking, he is very weak now, so for the sake of safety, he should first fill up his defense points.
In this way, even if you encounter any danger suddenly, you will not lose your life easily.
For those who live in the Tao, life comes first.
After all, as long as his defense becomes stronger, external attacks will have no effect on him, and he is innately invincible.
"But strength is also very important. Strength is the most powerful defense. As long as you are strong, you will not be afraid of any enemy attack. You can defeat ten enemies with one force and just go through it."
"Now the mental attributes are the highest. How about improving the mental attributes first? Maybe there will be unexpected benefits along with the improvement of the mental attributes."
During his hesitation, Lu Ning did not allocate the remaining attribute points immediately.
These 1.29 attribute points are relatively precious, and he should carefully consider them before allocating them.
Lu Ning walked out of the corner and continued to wander around the market.
Looking at the dazzling array of items, Lu Ning was a little moved, "Hey~ the huge sum of five taels of silver is empty again so quickly."
Five taels of silver, calculated on earth, is equivalent to at least ten or two hundred thousand, which is not a lot.
"The most important thing right now is to make money quickly."
With money, he can unscrupulously buy ginseng to enhance his own strength.
Lu Ning was walking around the market, and when he looked up, he happened to see Luo E and Lu Tian.
"Mom, it's my little brother!" Zhao Di pointed at Lu Ning with a look of surprise on her face.
She ran over and pulled Lu Ning over.
"Aning, you ran out secretly!" Luo E looked at Lu Ning seriously.
Why is this child so uneasy?
"Humph, it seems that being beaten by dad was not enough." Lu Tian had a gloomy face.
Then he suddenly smiled evilly, as if he had already thought of the scene of Lu Ning being spanked again.
"Mom, I'm bored at home, so I wanted to come out and take a look. You wouldn't let me out, so I had to follow you secretly." Lu Ning didn't hide anything and admitted it generously.
Several people gave him a few words of education, but they had no choice but to let him go back alone after he came.
"Stay well and don't run around again," Luo E warned.
"I understand, mother." Lu Ning nodded obediently.
At this moment, several men carrying bows and arrows and knives came towards them.
One of the young men stared at Lu Zhaodi with surprise on his face.
"Mei, you are here too today." He walked up to Zhao Di with a happy face.
"Brother Ahu." Zhao Di suddenly became a little shy when she saw the person coming, and called him.
"Brother Dashan."
"Sister E."
Luo E also started chatting with one of the older men.
This group of people are hunters from Wuxi Village next door. The important thing is that they came to the Lu family to propose marriage before, and Lu Daniu agreed.
If nothing else happens, their two families will be in-laws from now on.
Orions are very popular both in the village and in the town. If Lu Zhaodi, the second eldest son of the Lu family, had married in the past, she would have been better off than most of the girls' families.
Luo E was very satisfied to have such an in-law, so she had a smile on her face when chatting with Brother Dashan.
Lu Ning looked at the group of hunters in front of him, especially the honest young man who was very close to his second sister. At this time, the two of them were flirting with each other. How could Lu Ning not see the ambiguity in it.
However, his focus was not on these people, but on the bows and arrows they carried and the knives they carried.
After visiting the market for so long, this was the first time he saw these weapons.
"Bows and arrows?" Lu Ning looked at the bows and arrows behind them, his eyes flashing.
"Maybe I can~"
In such an environment and age, if bows and arrows are used properly, they are as powerful as modern pistols.
After making up his mind, Lu Ning took the initiative to step forward.
"Second sister, who is he?"
"He is your Brother Ahu, why don't you call someone?"
"Brother Ahu."
"Brother Ahu, this is my little brother named Lu Ning."
"Okay." Ahu roughly touched Lu Ning's head.
After recognizing his face, Lu Ning obediently retreated behind everyone.
After chatting for a few words, Dashan, Ahu and the others left.
"Mom, my little brother is missing again." Zhao Di was still immersed in the love between a man and a woman, but when she found out that Lu Ning was missing, she couldn't help but panic.
"You guys look at the charcoal and the bamboo basket, I'll go look for it." Luo E was also worried, so she left the two of them and ran to find Lu Ning.
"What a troublesome guy." Lu Tian complained as he watched Luo E leave.
When Luo E was looking for Lu Ning.
But they saw that Lu Ning was already following A Hu and the others and drifting away.
