What Jia Chao didn't expect was that Miyi Market really had an office hall!
The super big one looks like the city hall in the previous life!
The hall is built inside the mountain. It took a lot of manpower and material resources to build such a cave.
Different from the lax defense outside, people holding conflicts can be seen everywhere in the hall.
As soon as Jia Chao and the other three entered the lobby, someone came up to ask if they needed accommodation.
After some exchanges, Jia Chao learned about the accommodation conditions at Miyi Market.
There are three options here.
First, go to rest on the plank road outside. The advantage is that it does not cost money, but the disadvantage is that safety is not guaranteed.
Second, stay overnight in a "rest area" on the right side of the lobby. The advantage is that it is cheap and safe, but the disadvantage is that it is messy and smelly.
Third, around the corridor on the second floor of the hall, there is a circle of evenly distributed small holes, each of which can accommodate three to four people.
Obviously, the third option is more in line with Jia Chao's ideas.
In this way, privacy and security can be guaranteed, and as for the cost, it is nothing to Jia Chao.
Because their charges are based on meat and hides.
Jia Chao did a little calculation and understood why they designed it this way, because it could meet the daily needs of market managers.
After Jia Chao handed over two pieces of animal skins and as much meat as three big men, he was given the right to use a cave for two days.
After finding the cave and throwing You Chen down, Jia Chao took Xingyue to go "shopping".
But they didn't wander long before they returned to the market hall.
Because all transactions in the Miyi Market can only use a kind of domino circulating within the Wilderness Liberals as the intermediate currency.
In other words, wilderness liberals already have the ability to issue currency!
The dominoes they made seemed to be made by rune masters with special abilities and had good anti-counterfeiting capabilities.
Unlike the spiritual borrowing stones popular in Senluo Presbyterian Church, these dominoes have no other functions besides being used as currency.
This made Jia Chao feel very uncomfortable, because this approach of the wilderness liberals made him feel exploited.
After exchanging some finished animal skin clothing and pottery for a small amount of dominoes at the trading desk in the hall, Jia Chao took Xingyue shopping again.
"Achao, why don't we replace all the pottery and animal skin clothing with this domino?"
Xingyue curiously took the two dominoes in her hands and rubbed them. The runes on them made people feel inexplicably comfortable.
Jia Chao rubbed Xingyue's head and said to her:
"Everything has a price when it is exchanged. The price they gave is too low, so it is not worthwhile to exchange it!"
Xingyue nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Because for her, it was too difficult for her to fully understand these truths, so she might as well just listen to Jia Chao on everything.
Neither of them are the kind of people who are good at shopping, especially Xingyue.
As a woman, she is more unwilling to bargain with others than Jia Chao.
If she liked something, she would take it directly. If someone asked for a few dominoes, she would give them a few.
Bargain? nonexistent!
The dominoes Jia Chao gave her were only replaced by two animal horn daggers.
Jia Chao didn't bargain for him, he just shook his head silently.
After walking around twice, Jia Chao didn't buy anything, but he became interested in a woman outside the market hall.
This is a woman about the same age as Atu.
Her head drooped weakly, and her graying hair was neatly combed.
But her two legs were broken at the knees, and her whole body was as thin as a stick insect.
What concerned Jia Chao most was her eyes.
Where the eyes should have been, there were only two black holes left.
The eyeball that should have been in the hole was placed on a tattered animal skin in front of her.
When everyone passed by this woman, they looked familiar and turned a blind eye, as if they were used to it.
But Jia Chao really couldn't bear this situation, so he squatted in front of the woman.
"What do you want to change?" Jia Chao asked the woman.
After the woman heard his voice, the corners of her mouth twitched, then she raised her head hard and said:
"I want to kill someone!"
The voice is not loud, but the enunciation is clear.
The passers-by smiled jokingly as they passed by, shook their heads and left.
At this time Xingyue came to Jia Chao, took Jia Chao's hand and shook his head.
Jia Chao patted Xingyue's hand, took out some meat and water from the spiritual sea space and placed it in front of the blind disabled woman.
"You should probably find a way to survive first!"
After saying this, Jia Chao took Xingyue away.
Seeing him leave, the blind woman just smiled faintly, without even a hint of helplessness in her expression, appearing restrained and polite.
When Jia Chao looked back and saw this scene, he suddenly made a decision in his heart.
The two quickly returned to the cave they rented, only to find that You Chen, who was supposed to be lying here, was missing.
"Achao, where did you say You Chen went?"
While Xingyue spread out the animal skin sleeping bag, she was worried about the young man with whom she had spent some time together.
Jia Chao leaned against the wall at the entrance of the cave, his eyes falling on the crowd in the hall below.
"He's right here, and he seems to be in some trouble!"
Hearing this, Xingyue stuck out her head from the hole and looked at the hall below.
"You said he was the guy surrounded?"
Jia Chao nodded and patted Xingyue on the head.
"Let's go down and see him!"
At this moment, You Chen, who was surrounded by three strong men, was shouting loudly.
"I told you! This is the relic of the old priest of our tribe!"
While talking, he kept trying to jump up to reach a smooth object held by a big man.
The big man raised the object in his hand with a joking look on his face and said to the onlookers:
"Don't believe what he says! I saw him running out of the cave above with my own eyes!
Look at him, he has nothing. Who would believe that he can afford to live in the cave above?
He must have stolen this thing from that cave! "
When You Chen heard this, he became anxious and said, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't steal this!"
Hearing this, the big man turned his head to look at him and asked:
"Then tell me, who is the person living in that cave? Why does he want you to live in his cave?"
You Chen: "..."
How does he know who brought him here?
He only remembered that he fainted in the snow, and when he woke up, he was already in Miyi Market.
When he first heard the news, he thought of exchanging his only treasure for a rune stone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he appeared, he was stopped by three big men.
"Look! He can't tell!" Seeing You Chen's silence, the big man took the initiative to attack.
Seeing this, You Chen became more and more anxious and retorted loudly:
"I didn't! I didn't! I didn't!"
But such incompetent rage could not explain anything after all. Instead, it made the people around him look at him more suspiciously.
