Chapter 39: Toad Caravan

May is the transition between spring and summer.

The fragrance of flowers is diffused, and the mountains are green. The sun began to gradually bloom its warm side.

Under the clear blue sky, white clouds floated like cotton wool.

On Qingmao Mountain, the Qingmao Bamboo Forest is still as straight as a gun, pointing to the sky in the distance. Weeds are growing wildly everywhere, and the grass is dotted with unknown wildflowers. As soon as the breeze blows, the weeds rise and fall, and the smell of rich pollen and green grass blows in.

On the mountainside, there are a lot of terraced fields. Layer by layer, step by step, the green wheat seedlings are planted, and it looks like a green sea from a distance.

Many farmers in the terraced fields are busy. Some are clearing ditches and waterways for water diversion, while others roll up their trousers and plant seedlings while standing in the fields.

Naturally, these people were mortals with foreign surnames, and the people of the Gu Yue Clan did not engage in such lowly karma.

Jingle Bell……

The sound of camel bells could be heard faintly in the spring breeze.

The peasants straightened up and turned their heads to the foot of the mountain.

I saw a caravan, like a colorful long worm, slowly sticking its head out from the mountain road.

"It's a caravan!"

"Yes, it's already May, and the caravan should come."

The adults understood. The urchins gave up playing in the water directly, and with the mud in their hands, hopped up and down to the caravan.

There are 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang, and Qingmao Mountain is just one of them. On each mountain, there are cottages, and people maintain the cottages with blood and family.

Between mountains and mountains, the mountains and forests are deep and secluded, and the cliffs are steep. The environment is complex, inhabited by a large number of beasts or strange Gu insects.

It is simply difficult for mortals to pass. Individuals who want to overcome these difficult obstacles must have at least a rank three Gu Master's cultivation.

As a result, the economy is sluggish and trade is difficult. The most important form of trade is the caravan.

Only by forming a caravan of such a huge scale can Gu Masters in groups be able to help each other, overcome difficulties and obstacles along the way, and travel from one mountain to another.

The arrival of the caravan, like a bowl of boiling water, was suddenly poured into the calm and peaceful Qingmao Mountain.

"In previous years, it was April. This year, the caravan didn't come until May. But it finally came." After hearing the news, the shopkeeper of the inn was really relieved. The business of the inn was extremely light in other months. Only counting on the arrival of the caravan can bring a year-long income.

At the same time, he still has some green bamboo wine in his inventory, which can be sold to the caravan.

Not only the inn, but also the wine shop's business will be booming.

The caravans drove into the ancient moon cottage one after another, and at the head was a precious brass toad. This toad is 2.5 meters tall, with an orange body, a broad back, and warts on it, just like the huge copper rivets on the ancient city gates.

On the back of the precious brass toad, a large pile of goods was fixed with thick hemp ropes. At first glance, it looks like Baochan is carrying a huge burden.

A middle-aged man with a pockmarked face and a fat belly sat cross-legged on Bao Chan's head. His eyes narrowed with a smile, and he clasped his fists to greet the surrounding Gu Yuezhai people.

This person's surname is Jia and his name is Fu. He has a rank four cultivation base and is the leader of this caravan.

Bao Chan jumped forward slightly, and Jia Fu sat on the head of the toad, stable. When jumping, his height can be flush with the window on the second floor. Even if it falls to the ground, it must be higher than the first floor of the bamboo building.

The originally wide street suddenly seemed a little narrow at this time. Like a monster, the precious brass toad broke into the forest of bamboo buildings.

After the treasure toad, it was a big fat worm. The eyes are like stained glass windows, colorful and colorful. Fifteen meters long, the body shape is similar to that of a silkworm. But the surface is covered with a thick layer of black-glazed leather armor. The leather armor was also piled up with a puff of cargo, tied in loops with hemp ropes. In the gap between the goods, there are Gu Masters sitting one by one, some old and some young.

And mortals,

They are all sturdy warriors, following the black-skinned fat beetle on the ground and slowly moving forward.

After the fat beetle, there are camel chickens with colorful feathers, hairy mountain spiders, winged snakes with two wings, and so on. But these are only a few, and most of them are mainly toads.

These toads are similar to the precious brass toads, but they are smaller in size and have the shape of a bull and a horse. Loaded with goods and people, with a bulging belly, he hopped on and on.

The caravan meanders deep into the cottage.

Along the way, the children stared wide-eyed, watched curiously, shouted happily, and marveled.

The windows on the second floor were opened one by one, and the mountain people observed closely. Some eyes flashed with fear, while others waved their hands to express a warm welcome.

"Brother Jia, it's a little late this year, it's been a long journey." Gu Yuebo, as the patriarch, personally welcomed the leader of the caravan.

Jia Fu was a rank four Gu Master, so if a rank three clan elder was responsible for the reception, it would undoubtedly be a form of neglect and contempt.

Jia Fu clasped his fists with both hands and sighed: "This year is not going well. I encountered a group of ghostly blood bats on the road, and I lost a lot of good players. I was in Precipice Mountain again and encountered mountain fog, so I really didn't dare to walk. Therefore, It took a lot of time. Teach Brother Gu Yue to wait for a long time."

In words, very polite.

Gu Yue Shanzhai needs caravans to trade every year, and the caravans also need harmony to make money.

"Hehehe, it's good to come. Please, the clan has prepared food and drinks, let me wash the dust for my brother." Gu Yuebo extended his hand to invite.

"The patriarch is very polite, too polite." Jia Fuzuo was flattered.

The caravan arrived in the Qingmao Mountains in the morning and settled in the Guyue Village at noon. In the evening, a large area of ​​temporary shops was formed around the cottage. Various red, blue, yellow and green tall tents were erected, and there were countless small stalls tucked in between the tents.

Night fell, but the lights were bright here.

An endless stream of pedestrians poured in from the stockade. There are mortals and there are Gu Masters. The children were jumping up and down, and the faces of the adults also showed a look of joy like a festival.

Fang Yuan walked in here alone with the crowd.

The crowd was bustling, crowds surrounding the stalls, or constantly coming in and out at the tent entrance.

There were shouts of barking around.

"Come here, take a look. The first-class blue sea cloud tea brick, drink this tea, you will be happy like a fairy! Even if people don't drink it, feeding tea Gu is cheap and beautiful. Only five yuan stone is needed for one piece. !"

"The brute force Heavenly Ox Gu, when the Gu Master is motivated, can skyrocket the power of an ox. Don't miss it when you pass by!"

"Zhixincao, the first-class Zhixincao, look at this quality, it's as fresh as freshly picked. Two prime stones per pound, what a cheap price..."

Fang Yuan heard this, his footsteps paused slightly, and followed the sound to look over.

I saw an ostrich pulling a two-wheeled scooter. A pile of pink-green grass was piled on the trolley. Each grass is a meter long, slender, and on average only the width of a fingernail. Some grasses also have red heart-shaped buds at the tips.

Bosomniac is one of the supplementary foods for Gu worms, and its value lies in that it can be paired with some food to feed Gu worms.

For example, Fang Yuan feeds Moonlight Gu and needs to feed two petals per meal. If it is mixed with the last confidante grass, the moonlight Gu will be full after eating a single moon orchid petal.

There are only two primeval stones per pound of bosomniac, and one primeval stone for every ten petals of the moon orchid. After a little calculation, I knew that it would be more cost-effective to feed the Gu worms with the bosomweed.

"Half a month ago, I killed Gao Wan because I used Moonlight Gu in the school, and I was fined 30 yuan stone. But then the Mo family compensated me for 30 yuan, which is not a loss. These days, I robbed me. Twice, a total of 118 primeval stones. But recently, I have been consuming the refined middle-level primeval essence to warm and nourish the walls of the aperture, and I have to consume three primeval stones every day. Plus the feeding cost of the Gu worms , my own living expenses, and the primeval stones that I invested in buying green bamboo wine one after another. I still have ninety-eight pieces in my hand."

Since Fang Yuan killed someone, his cruel and ruthless image has penetrated deep into the hearts of the students, and no one dared to challenge him for a while. Makes his robbery much easier. Only a handful of people dared to confront him each time.

Fang Yuan calculated in his heart, turned his eyes away, and continued to walk towards the depths of the temporary shop area.

There were a bunch of people around the bosom grass stall. They are all Gu Masters or students, holding primeval stones in their hands and rushing to buy them.

It's not that Fang Yuan has no money to buy this confidante, but that he has no time.

"If I remember correctly, that slut toad is in that shop. There was a Gu Master in a previous life who gambled on it on the first night, so I made a lot of money. I have to hurry, I can't lose the big because of the small. already."
