Chapter 14 A Thousand Gold Buys Donkeys and Mules, Baili Xuntoad Palace
Qin Yuelou was wandering in the market of Gusu City, attracting many girls to look at him. Even a married woman with her hair in a woman's bun was secretly looking at Qin Yuelou.
After all, Qin Yuelou's appearance in this life is higher than that in his previous life, and much higher. In fact, the Monkey King's bonus to appearance is even higher.
Just like the offspring of the hybrids between the Familia and humans in the K-line mythology, before those offspring transform into Familia creatures, their appearance must be very high, and the secretion of hormones will also be different from ordinary people.
Qin Yuelou had read an article in his previous life, which briefly discussed the issue of girls' body odor.
The so-called body fragrance of girls is not pickled by cosmetics, but the hormones that can be "smelled", or pheromones, or a male trap.
It's just that with millions of years of evolution, this kind of girly body fragrance will not be "smelled" by too many men.
As for mixed-race descendants of the Ke family, regardless of gender, this pheromone will be "smelled".
After all, the "fake love at first sight" caused by good looks and pheromones can also make prey fall into false love. In this way, the breeding behavior and breeding number can be improved. After these descendants are transformed, they will grow in size.
Dependent family.
In terms of appearance alone, Qin Yuelou can indeed stand out among the heroes, but he himself does not care about this aspect. After all, he does not have any worldly desires now, and the most important thing is that he may not be able to be tempted now.
Although he couldn't see inside, he could clearly feel that his heart was transforming into a heart of stone.
This stone heart is not a stone, but an immortal stone.
It's just unclear whether he will be as sentimental as Jia Baoyu but not sentimental. After all, Hu Qiye may have made a prophecy and he lacks the root of love.
Therefore, Qin Yuelou was unmoved by the various looks from these women, and even felt bored.
He just wanted to eat a peach quietly.
So he ate the peach.
After many inquiries, he learned that there was a donkey rental place not far from the market.
Renting a donkey is similar to renting a car. You rent it by the day. If the donkey owner doesn't follow, you have to pay a deposit. All the expenses related to the donkey on the road are paid by the renter. After the donkey is taken back, the donkey owner will check the donkey for any damage.
If there is no damage, any damage will be refunded or compensated from the deposit.
But Qin Yuelou was going to Guobei County, and naturally he couldn't go back so quickly, so he planned to buy a donkey. Anyway, if he had time, he could just ride a donkey and stroll around slowly.
The donkey rental house was quite impressive, with a registration office outside and a donkey shed behind. After arriving at the registration office, Qin Yuelou took a good look.
Sitting at the registration desk was a short, middle-aged man with a moustache. When the middle-aged man saw Qin Yuelou, he immediately beamed. It was obvious from a glance that he was an expert at talking to people and telling ghosts.
"Oh, sir, are you here to rent a donkey? I see that you are very handsome, sir. There are many good donkeys behind our shop, including BMW, Baojun and Land Rover."
Qin Yuelou was happy when he heard this.
"Aren't you selling donkeys? Why do you still have a Land Rover?" Qin Yuelou became a little interested.
"You don't know this, right? Land Rover is a donkey with a bad temper. This donkey once kicked a tiger to death, but it just left a scar on its butt. Can't it be called a Land Rover?"
"What about BMW and Baojun?" Qin Yuelou asked still interested.
"A BMW's father is a horse and its mother is a donkey, while Baojun's mother is a horse and its father is a donkey."
"Isn't that just a mule? What you said is ridiculous." Qin Yuelou smiled.
"Hey, Master, this is wrong. Although they are mules, their bloodline is better than other mules. It can be said that they have inherited the advantages of both parents."
"But why do you only talk about these three heads? I think your store is so grand, it shouldn't only have three heads."
"Sorry, sir, you came too late. The other donkeys and mules have been rented out, and now only these three are left."
"Then isn't this what others picked out?"
"Sir, look at what you said, how can you pick out the remaining ones? These three are just because they are too expensive and not many people want to rent them. After all, even those who can afford it don't like my store. Come on.
Yes, you have a sharp eye and will make our store shine after you come here."
Not only can he talk nonsense to others, but he is also proficient in flattery.
Qin Yuelou laughed and threw a gold leaf to the shopkeeper.
"Frankly speaking, I'm not here to rent, but to buy directly. Is this gold leaf enough?"
When the store owner heard this, he blinked and put on a more flattering smile.
"Master, we are doing long-term business. First of all, this mule. If the mule is well fed, it can live for fifty years. In these fifty years, assuming that there will be a short-distance rental every five days on average, then it will be rented once
Calculate it based on five days..."
Qin Yuelou watched the middle-aged man with a rat beard calculating his abacus, and the abacus beads were crackling as he struck them rapidly.
"Besides, although this donkey can be used for about thirty-five years, if the donkey dies unfortunately, its meat can be sold, and its skin can also be sold..."
The beads are still crackling.
Qin Yuelou's words went in and out. What did this store want to do? Wasn't it just raising the price? But he frowned and felt very disgusted.
It's just that his behavior is no different from oppression.
What this shop owner meant in his words was to squeeze the value of these donkeys and mules to the limit, squeeze out all the use value, and even turn the remaining scraps into treasures in exchange for further benefits.
What's more, these donkeys and mules are not human beings, and the shopkeeper will not treat them as human beings.
But who can say these donkeys and mules are inferior to humans?
Qin Yuelou was disgusted by what he heard and just wanted to end this meaningless conversation as soon as possible.
"What do you mean?"
"Additional money is required."
"Okay." Qin Yuelou nodded and threw five gold leaves to the shopkeeper.
"Five gold leaves, I want all the remaining three. Don't be greedy and swallow the elephant."
"Young master, you are really generous with your actions."
So Qin Yuelou bought a mule and a donkey. He led the mule and donkey alone and walked back. The grumpy donkey was not afraid of Qin Yuelou. Qin Yuelou was still feeding the donkey carrots.
As for the rat-bearded profiteer, he looked at the six golden leaves with pleasure.
"You are so rich, but no matter how rich you are, don't you still have to drink my foot-washing water?"
After the profiteer finished speaking these words, the gold leaves lost their gold color and turned into emerald green.
The profiteer was stunned for a while, and then ran out quickly to find Qin Yuelou.
However, Qin Yuelou had already gone far.
"If you are greedy enough, you are still trying to manipulate capital. Who will suffer if you don't suffer?" Qin Yuelou said sarcastically as he fed the donkey carrots.
"But one is enough. You donkey is a little smart. I will ask you to go to Guobei County with me later. But as for these two mules... well, let's give them to the Mu family and his son."
"
Qin Yuelou thought so and went to Mu's house.
But he didn't see Mu Chan Palace, nor Mu Xiaohuan.
Since they were all acquaintances anyway, Qin Yuelou took the three animals directly to the cowshed behind Mu's house, exchanged a lot of fine feed and poured it into the trough.
He made a piece of paper, left a message on the paper, then took the donkey and prepared to leave.
Then he heard rapid footsteps.
"Toad Palace! Toad Palace, you're back?!" Mu Xiaohuan ran over in panic, but when he found out it was Qin Yuelou, he was very disappointed, but his hope was ignited again.
"Mr. Qin, please, please take me to find Toad Palace. Toad Palace...he's gone, he's gone!" Mu Xiaohuan was about to kneel on the ground with a plop, but Qin Yuelou used his magic power to support him.
Living.
"No, Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu is already a mature adult. Do you still have to care about where he goes?" Qin Yuelou was very puzzled.
"No, Mr. Qin, Toad Palace... Toad Palace said that he went to Yinmao Town... You must take me with you."
"No, Mr. Mu, I don't understand what you are saying at all. Why are you so nervous about going to a town?" Qin Yuelou was puzzled.
"Mr. Qin, it's that woman. That woman lured Toad Palace there. Mr. Qin, you must take me with you to bring Toad Palace back!"
The preface does not match the postscript, the answer is false, and the core of the issue is avoided. What is Mu Xiaohuan hiding?
"Mr. Mu, if you don't say anything, how can I help you? At this point, you have at least three things to tell me." Qin Yuelou raised three fingers.
"Yinmao Town is very dangerous." Mu Xiaohuan's tone was trembling.
"That's not the sentence."
"There...there are monsters there." Mu Xiaohuan seemed to be in deep fear and covered his heart.
"That's not the case either."
"Those demons are the sharks who migrated from the South China Sea. They live in Yinmao Town and sacrifice people. I once escaped from Yinmao Town. They...my wife... was also killed by them.
The ones we captured were still small at the time, so I could only escape with them... I originally thought that after so many years, they wouldn't find us, so... I came back, but... I didn't expect that they would still be there.
The ghost lingers..."
Mu Xiaohuan covered his eyes, his eyes were red, he looked very remorseful, and he clenched his fists tightly.
"Then we really need to go rescue him." Qin Yuelou listened and then asked Mu Xiaohuan, "But where is Yinmao Town, and how did you know that Mr. Mu went to Yinmao Town?"
"Toad Palace left me a letter. The letter said that he wanted to get married to a woman named Bai Qiulian, so he first went to her hometown of Yinmao Town, which is located in Yangjiang City three hundred miles away.
Yangjiang City is close to the sea. There is an island called Dongji Island, and Yinmao Town is on that island."
"We can arrive within three hundred miles." Qin Yuelou picked up the sword wine and prepared to drink it.
"Master Qin, please take me there." Mu Xiaohuan looked at Qin Yuelou with stern eyes.
"I... have been hiding for so many years, and now they have captured all my children there. Even if I die there, I have to leave Toad Palace and end my relationship with that place."
