020 Go to Jiuyuan County(1/3)
Rongchang Pawn Shop.
dusk.
The business in the pawn shop was relatively slow, with not a single customer. The shopkeeper was drowsy with his chin in his hands, and a few waiters nearby were drinking tea and chatting.
"Shopkeeper, I want to treat you as something."
When there was business, the pawnshop owner suddenly opened his eyes, rolled his eyes, and put on a professional smile.
That's called being harmonious and making money.
The customer was a young man, about 20 years old, quite handsome, but his clothes were very ragged, with coarse cloth and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. He looked like a poor man at first glance.
"Brother, what do you want to be?" the shopkeeper asked with a smile.
The shopkeeper of the pawn shop is very professional and treats the poor and the rich equally without any slightest contempt on his face.
"How much does this cost?" Li Jun handed over a package.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The owner of the pawn shop took the package and it was quite heavy.
Open it and take a look.
The pieces are pieces of rusty bronze, and you can vaguely see patterns on them, which are quite ancient.
"Brother, where did you get this thing from?" The shopkeeper stopped smiling.
Li Jun thought for a while.
"These scraps of copper were handed down from my ancestors. Recently, my family couldn't open the pot anymore, so we had to exchange them for some rice and noodles. Shopkeeper, how much is it worth?" Li Jun made up a random reason.
"hehe."
The pawnshop owner sneered.
"Let's not talk secretly. Brother, this thing looks like it came out of the tomb. It's evil, and most people really don't dare to accept it."
Li Jun said nothing and looked at the pawnshop owner quietly.
These are pawn shops' routines. They try to find the shortcomings of the pawned object and lower the price as much as possible.
really.
The pawn shop owner softened his tone.
"Fortunately, you came to our Rongchang Pawn Shop today. My boss is very capable and can talk to the Demon Suppressor. Only my family dares to accept things from the tomb like yours."
"Look, you're quite pitiful. You only have two pennies."
Black, really dark.
Li Jun's package of bronze weighs more than ten coins?
"Sure, I'll die, the shopkeeper will give me the money!"
Li Jun agreed without hesitation. Anyway, he still had several packages of this stuff at home. If he found a few more pawn shops, he could always get dozens of coins. Plus the money Hu Mingsheng gave him before, it would be enough for him to live on.
.
In a world full of ghosts and monsters, every moment is precious.
Never waste it on trivial matters.
Seeing Li Jun agreeing so happily, the shopkeeper felt a little sick. If he had known that he was eager to make a move, he should have lowered the price.
An idea struck.
"Brother, I think you are really pitiful. I will give you an extra ten cents and you can keep this dog."
Dog Da: "..."
Li Jun really wants to give a thumbs up, this shopkeeper is really good at doing business.
Li Jun shook his head and walked out of the pawn shop with two slings of money.
Then, he followed the same pattern and went to all the pawnshops in Anping County and exchanged dozens of coins. The heavy copper coins piled up on the table, giving him the illusion of being very wealthy.
such a pity!
After all, this is a world filled with ghosts and monsters. What can we do with more money?
A dreamless night.
The next day, the sun rises.
Li Jun went to the Yamen with a small amount of money and obtained the road guide through abnormal means.
Then, I contacted a trading company and planned to go to Jiuyuan City in a few days.
…
"Ce~"
In the barren mountains and ridges, an official road stretches into the distance.
A group of business travelers trudged along the official road.
There is a large flag at the front of the business trip, embroidered with complicated patterns, with the word "river" in the center.
Li Jun knew that it was the symbol of Hebo of the Weishui River.
Business travelers in Anping County who travel across counties will go to the Yamen to pay for a Hebo flag.
When ghosts and monsters see He Boqi on the road, they will usually give him a little bit of sympathy.
In addition to the Hebo flag, there were also many yellow talismans, black dog blood, and a big red rooster placed on the car in the middle.
They are all for self-defense.
Of course, the caravan also raised a worshiping immortal master.
"Brother Li Jun, the world is not peaceful now. Why are you going to Jiuyuan alone?"
The speaker was a red-faced man named Zhang Youcai, a cook in the caravan. Even though he was a rough guy, he was good at cooking. Anping County is a small town, and Zhang Youcai had known Li Junyuan before.
Zhang Youcai liked Li Jun as soon as he saw him. He liked him inexplicably. He felt that this young man resembled his son.
It's a pity that Zhang Youcai's son died early.
A good person, he couldn't think about it anymore, so he hanged himself.
Zhang Youcai remembered that his son was obviously a cheerful person, so why did he hang himself?
I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out.
Every household in this world has things that they can't figure out. As time goes by, they will be forgotten.
Li Jun said absently: "Find a way to survive."
Zhang Youcai sighed.
He thought that Li Jun couldn't survive in Anping County, so he had to take the risk to find a way elsewhere. What a pity!
He remembered that Li Jun's parents seemed to have died, and the wife he finally married ran away with someone.
He is also not very clever and fails to complete several jobs.
Poor, pitiful!
Li Jun didn't know Zhang Youcai's thoughts. All his attention was now on the immortal master he was worshiping.
The surname of this immortal master worshiped is Ouyang, and he is known as Immortal Master Ouyang.
Master Ouyang is very mysterious and spends most of his time in the car. Even his meals have to be brought to the car.
Of course, this is not surprising.
The strange thing is that his meal is always a cooked meal with a live animal.
Sometimes it’s live chickens and ducks, sometimes it’s live mice, live cats and dogs.
The merchant traveler brought several carts full of living animals to supply to Immortal Ouyang.
Could it be raising ghosts?
Li Jun didn't know the details of Master Ouyang, so he didn't dare to send ghost soldiers to investigate rashly, so he could only make a rough estimate.
Hu Mingsheng once said that whether it is Yin Yang sect or spiritual sect, the essence is related to ghosts.
Ghosts need to eat just like people.
The food of ghosts is very wide. They will eat humans, similar species, animal flesh and blood, and even water plants and dew when they are extremely hungry.
and.
Ghosts seem to prefer raw food with blood.
Li Jun suddenly thought of a question.
Will practitioners in this world use humans to feed their ghosts?
Li Jun shuddered at the thought of this.
