Before the date agreed with the caravan has come, the gray rock iguanas still need to be raised in the village for some time.
The edge area of Beigou Pasture is full of sea buckthorn grass, which can be used to feed the gray rock iguanas, so there is no need to worry that the gray rock iguanas will starve to death.
The gray rock iguana can wait for the caravan to buy it, but the salamander meat from Surdak cannot wait. The summer heat is still in September and if it is stored for a day or two, the salamander meat will become a pile of smelly meat.
When the old village chief came to see Surdak in the evening, Surdak was taking a bath in a big wooden barrel.
The water temperature was slightly hot. Surdak was lying half in the barrel with his eyes closed, feeling the power of holy light growing in his body. The twenty-odd nodes in his body that were originally lit by the holy breath, after fighting with the salamander,
, has now extended to thirty nodes, and there are fuzzy thin lines of energy between those nodes, seeming to weave a very chaotic network in the body.
There was no wooden door in the bathroom, so the old village chief moved a wooden stool and sat at the door with his back to Suldak, which made him feel more comfortable.
"The salamander meat given to the village should be sold in Helensa City!"
The old village chief held a walnut pipe in his hand and smoked it.
"Well, it's up to you to make the decision."
After saying that, Suldak sank his head into the bathtub, spit a few bubbles in the water, and then got out again and wiped the water on his face.
The old village chief paused for a moment and then said: "I want to ask you to visit Hailansa City in person..."
Only then did Surdak realize that even if the old village chief decided to sell the salamander meat, he might not be able to do it without his own help.
Because there is only one ancient Bolai horse in the village, and it is currently tied to the stone roller in the yard. If you walk from Wall Village to Helensa City, it will take at least three days. In that case, even if you walk to the sea
In the city of Lanza, the salamander meat will probably go bad. If you ride a horse, it will only take one day at most. If you rush to Lanza overnight, you can probably arrive tomorrow morning.
Surdak took a long breath and said cheerfully to the village chief Bright: "No problem. After selling these salamander meats, do you need to bring something back?"
When the old village chief saw that Surdak agreed without even thinking about it, he felt much relieved. He held the pipe in his hand, took out a few iron tools from the pocket on his waist, and said to Surdak:
"If possible, you can exchange all the money you paid for selling salamander meat for these..."
Surdak looked at the artifacts that the old village chief took out, which turned out to be iron hinges for doors and windows, iron door bolts and some large and small iron nails, and asked with some surprise: "Are they all going to be replaced with these things?
Okay, I will go to the blacksmith shop to buy these. I will make some preparations and leave tonight. I will arrive in Helensa tomorrow morning. If I am lucky, I may be able to catch the morning market in Helensa City."
With that said, Surdak stepped out of the barrel, changed into a clean linen shirt next to the wooden frame, and put on the set of Warcraft leather armor.
His body was covered with burn scars, which turned pink after being soaked in hot water. He looked ferocious and terrifying. These scars were all over his strong body. After the old village chief took a look at it, he was slightly startled, but
Then he immediately turned his head, coughed twice slightly, and then reminded Surdak:
"Ahem, it's best not to sell it in the market. You won't get a good price at the market. You need to find a high-end restaurant in the city."
Suldak felt that since he had agreed to rush to Helensa City, there was nothing wrong with other things, so he readily agreed. When he walked out of the bathroom, he found that in addition to the old village chief standing at the door, there was actually
There were also Charlie, Luke, Val and two other young men. Seeing them standing aside awkwardly, Suldak couldn't help but ask: "You also want to sell the salamander meat in your hands?"
"..."
Surdak originally planned to let the five young people take the salamander meat home and eat it directly. Although the salamander meat was unlikely to significantly improve the family's physique, it had some effect after all.
But the five young people obviously didn't think so. They believed that if they could sell the salamander meat, they would improve their family's living conditions to the greatest extent.
I heard that the old village chief wanted Surdak to ride a horse to the city of Halanza, so he sent the salamander meat back that night and asked Surdak to bring the salamander meat he had received as well.
In Hellanza City, find a high-end restaurant and sell all the salamander meat.
Unexpectedly, all the salamander meat that was sent out was sent back after a long trip, and in the end, he had to go to Hellanza City by himself.
Now that the old village chief came to his door, Suldak was certainly not polite. He took a look at the bag of volcanic ash piled in the corner and asked the old village chief to find someone to pick up some limestone tomorrow and grind it into fine stone powder with a stone roller.
, and then send it to his home, where he will use the lime after he returns from Heranza.
Although the old village chief couldn't figure out what Surdak wanted to do, he agreed without hesitation and left the matter to his youngest sons, Charlie and Luke.
Charlie and Luke didn't have the guts to resist the old village chief, so they had no choice but to accept the job obediently. Then they were worried that the old village chief would continue to arrange work for them tomorrow, so they quickly found an excuse and dragged several other young people away.
When the old village chief saw that Surdak agreed to visit the city of Halanza, he left the salamander meat and walked out of the yard.
When the ancient horse came to Mali and had enough rest, the full moon in the night sky had climbed above his head. Just a moment ago, little Peter was sleepily clamoring to follow him to the city of Helensa. Now he was lying on the bed
Old Sheila fell asleep in her arms. Old Sheila glanced at Suldak with a touch of concern in her eyes. She was afraid of waking up little Peter, so she walked into the stone house without saying anything.
When Suldak led the horse out of the yard, a clear voice called to him.
Rita ran out carrying a cloth bag, raised her little face with a proud smile, and handed the cloth bag to Suldak. The bag was still warm. Suldak opened it and took a look, and it turned out to be
Two freshly baked wheat cakes.
"Be careful on the road!"
Rita stood at the door wearing a nightgown, with a 'V' shaped neckline revealing a large area of milky white skin.
This is a very obvious color difference from the wheat-colored skin on her neck and arms.
She has a very well-proportioned figure, and her hands are a little rough from the heavy farm work every day. Although the land seems too barren, she thrives like sea buckthorn grass in the cracks of the rocks. She grew up eating chestnut rice cakes and cassava porridge.
She did not become emaciated because of this. Her arms and legs appeared round and strong, her waist was slender, her chest was bulging, and her body was full of vitality.
Seeing Rita's blue eyes always touched the softness in Suldak's heart. Suldak asked Gubo to stop his horse and said to Rita:
"If everything goes well, I'll probably be able to come back the day after tomorrow. Don't worry, I've walked this road once."
Hearing what Surdak said, Rita nodded seriously.
…
The night road from Wall Village to Helensa City is not easy to walk.
Fortunately, the full moon was in the sky, and the silvery moonlight filled the entire mountain. As long as he did not go into a dark place, the moonlight would follow Surdak's head.
From the mountains in the distance came waves of sand wolves whining at night. After climbing over a barren mountain, sparse trees appeared between the mountain walls.
On the eve of dawn, I climbed over another mountain ridge, and a sea of raging trees appeared in front of me. A gust of mountain wind blew by, and the dark green leaves on the crowns of countless trees were rising and falling in the wind. Most of these trees were
Oak trees, the acorns in the mountain forest are about to mature. When a gust of wind blows, you can even hear the sound of acorns falling to the ground.
Surdak was riding a horse on this mountain ridge and saw only a vague outline of the city of Halanza halfway up the mountain in the distance.
As the sky gets brighter, the city of Halanza in the distance becomes clearer.
