Zhou Jun listened to Xiao Yu's instructions and hurriedly went to the drugstore to buy medicine. Mu Liutian was now much better than before, so he went back to his room to get dressed. After all, it was still very cold in April in this mountain, and besides, Xiao Yu was
Yu was shocked to the core.
Seeing that Xiao Yu easily cured Mu Liutian's rubella, a group of Taoists couldn't help but show admiration. Some of them knew about this, but they didn't care about it. Besides, they happened to do it.
Let's take this opportunity to test what abilities these Maoshan disciples have.
An old Taoist stood behind him, looked at Xiao Yu up and down, and then whispered, "This little guy is quite capable. He doesn't panic when things happen. He looks pretty good."
"What's so weird about curing rubella? We're going up the mountain to deal with red-haired zombies. It's not as simple as curing rubella. I don't think much of them. They're all too young. Even if they started practicing since childhood, it's only been more than ten years now. What can they do?"
"That's right, not to mention that he has offended Master Yang now. You don't know that Master Yang will retaliate. This kid beat him in front of us. This revenge will be avenged sooner or later. We'd better not get involved with them, so as not to
Get into trouble."
Xiao Yu had already gone back to his room with Mu Liutian at this time, so naturally he didn't know that those Taoists had gradually alienated them.
"Xiao Yu, what is this thing? Why haven't I had it before?" Mu Liutian huddled under the quilt and said with a scared look on his face.
"Rheumatism is urticaria. This kind of thing is not contagious. It will occur from time to time, especially in some places where the environment is relatively dirty. This thing will appear! People with bad skin will often get this disease, so you have to make it yourself
Be careful."
Xiao Yu explained it once, and then distributed the cakes he bought to several people. After a while, the cakes became a little cold, so they were not as delicious as before, but they still tasted good and chewy.
strength.
Everyone sat in the room for a while, and the landlord had already prepared breakfast. Then they went out to eat together, and everyone yelled and went shopping together.
"Masters, we rely on mountains to eat here, so there are a lot of game. If you want to buy game, go to the river dam behind the town. There are hunters in the mountains everywhere. If you want to buy herbs, go to the Tutu Temple in the west of the town."
The landlord stood at the door and introduced everyone enthusiastically for a while, and then continued, "I bought game meat and I will process it for everyone for free, so everyone can eat it well."
Generally, there are not many people staying in the inns in the town. Even if they rent a room, there are still some mountaineers or businessmen who buy cattle. It is rare that so many people live in private rooms at the same time. This is better than the business during the Chinese New Year.
So the landlord is cheerful all day long, and he is happier now than ever.
"Do you have bear paws for sale? I heard that there are bears in your mountains," a Taoist said hello.
"There are no bear paws. They are protected animals. If you eat them, you will go to jail." The landlord chuckled, but the expression on his face betrayed him!
Bears are indeed protected animals, but the mountains are high and the water is far away, especially under these mountains. Some game animals are also secretly traded, and of course this bear is one of them.
After Xiao Yu and others listened, they all became interested. Whether it was game or medicinal materials, these things were rare in the city, so now they all wanted to feast their eyes and see what they were selling.
something.
A few people had just walked a hundred meters on the street when they saw a team of brave cows walking out of the mountain road. A person in front of them was pulling a cow with two horns on its head. This cow looked very strong.
, there is a bamboo tube on the rope that pulls the cow. The bamboo tube is more than two meters long, and one end is held in the man's hand.
Behind the first cow, more than twenty cows followed one after another, like a team preparing for a review, and began to appear on the streets of the town. Behind the cows, there was a person following, driving the cows from time to time.
Xiao Yu looked at the man pulling the cow and couldn't help but whispered, "Why is there a bamboo pole on the cow rope?"
Lao Bai on the side laughed and said, "This bamboo pole is very useful. Generally, this kind of cow likes to hurt people. People don't dare to approach, so they will put on the bamboo pole. When the cow comes close, beat it with the bamboo pole, or
Push the bamboo pole against the ground so that the cattle cannot reach you. This is a common method used by people in the mountains."
Xiao Yu nodded in understanding, while Zhou Jun on the side quickly asked, "Where did they buy so many cows? Aren't you afraid of walking in the mountains?"
"Why aren't you afraid? There are blind bears everywhere in the mountains. If you are unlucky and encounter one, you will die."
"In this barren mountain, sometimes there is no one on the mountain road for dozens of miles. There is only a small road, with weeds and shrubs on both sides wrapping the road inside. The trees cover the sky and the sun, and you can't even see the sun when you stand inside. Are you afraid?
"
Lao Bai seemed to know a lot about these things. He talked about it eloquently, and then sighed, "These are all miserable people. They don't have much money to make a difference!".
"Why go to the mountains to buy cattle? Why don't you just buy meat and eat it?" Mu Liutian said speechlessly.
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes and said immediately, "Without cows, where does the meat come from? A lot of the meat you eat in the city is imported from abroad. Some of the meat has been stored for three or four years, and then the label is changed and it continues to be sold to you.
It’s all zombie meat, there’s no way this kind of beef is good to eat.”
"Yes, these cattle are raised by farmers in Bashan. When the animals are grown, they cannot bring them to the city to sell them, so this has led to the livelihood of cattle drivers. Cattle drivers drive twenty cows at a time in the mountains.
I travel for half a month, sometimes only once a month, and earn thousands of dollars to support my family, so it’s very hard.”
Xiao Yu nodded, with a look of awe on his face, respecting the spirit of these cattle drivers. They run around in the mountains all year round, walking alone in the mountains, and there are no people around for dozens of miles. This kind of perseverance is not ordinary people's.
Comparable.
The cattle driver walked past Xiao Yu and others in a swaggering manner. Although he looked a little tired, his face was full of joy. As soon as the few people were not far away, one person stepped forward to greet them. Then the two held hands and walked back and forth.
After shaking his hand, the man shook his head and left.
"What are they doing?" Mu Liutian asked.
"Compare prices. This is a rule in the industry. The code words cannot be seen by others." Lao Bai said with a smile, and then continued to move forward with Xiao Yu and others.
"Old Bai, you said that the cattle drivers run in the mountains every day and should be very familiar with this place. If we ask them to be our guides, will the probability of finding the seniors of the Fox Clan be higher?"
Xiao Yu whispered something beside Lao Bai, and then added, "Besides, they know more farmers in the mountains. If we go with them, maybe we won't go hungry."
After listening to Xiao Yu's words, Lao Bai thought it made sense. This cattle driver was very familiar with the farmers in Bashan and knew which roads were feasible and which were not feasible. It was indeed better to be with them than to be with those Taoists.
many.
"This is a good idea. With such a person by your side, the probability of success is indeed much greater. You can go shopping with them later, and I'll discuss it with the cattle driver to see if we can negotiate this deal."
Bringing two more people will definitely cost more, and the consumption on the road will also increase, but Xiao Yu doesn't care, he has plenty to eat, and as long as the cattle driver can go with him, he is willing to pay for the money.
