At night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Squeak.
The wooden door was opened, and a figure looked around, then went out to the street. Then he quietly walked to a street further outside the camp:
No. 3, No. 4...
No. 4, 2nd Street!
This is it.
There is an iron lock hanging on the wooden door.
Tang Wen quietly opened the door with the key and stepped in.
None of the houses on this street had yards, and the wooden door he opened was just the door to the house.
The room was dark, so he took out the fire stick he had prepared and blew it gently, and a weak fire light came on.
The strengthening of his physique made his eyesight far better than that of ordinary people. In addition, as he ate a lot of bird offal, Tang Wen did not suffer from the night blindness that most people in the camp had.
The oil lamp in the house was lit, and the dim light did not illuminate much.
But in Tang Wen's eyes, everything in the room was clearly visible.
The wall directly in front of him caught his eye. There was a big black bow hanging there. He pulled a chair over and stood on it, taking off the bow.
Well, very heavy.
He is now so powerful that he feels light when wielding a long sword with one hand, and this iron bow seems to be heavier than three long knives.
Yes, when I was dozing off, I came to the pillow.
After this actual battle, he was a little dissatisfied with the attack distance of flying knives and flying rocks.
I was thinking about hunting more prey and trading meat for a bow and arrow to practice, but unexpectedly I found it right away.
After searching the house, Tang Wen found another dagger, almost half a meter long and made of plenty of materials.
There is nothing to say, I will definitely take it away.
There are also cabinets with missing doors in the house, which are exuding a rancid smell; a lame table, covered with a layer of black dirt, and several stools of different heights...
He shook his head and walked towards the back room, where the smell was even worse.
There is a wooden bed and a rice vat in the back room.
Tang Wen picked up the dagger, and with a look of disgust on his face, he picked up the quilt on the bed whose original color could not be seen.
nothing.
He picked up the pillow again, and there was a clanking sound, and something fell out of the pillow filled with hay.
what sound?
Why does it sound like copper coins?
Tang Wen knelt down and picked up the things on the ground, with a strange look on his face: "Is this really a copper plate?"
The shape of the copper plate is similar to the ancient round coins with square holes.
I heard Li Daniu say before that the shops and stores in the city use copper plates, not barter for goods.
Caravans from outside also accepted copper coins, but they were more willing to accept barter.
Except for the copper coins, the iron bow and the dagger, he took nothing else.
Return home quietly.
In the young lady’s expectant eyes,
Tang Wen took out the iron bow, dagger, and dozens of copper plates.
Tang Tang's smile gradually disappeared: "That's it?"
“Those are the highest value.”
"What's the use of the most valuable thing? Where's the food? Where's the use? Bring them all!" She couldn't help but raise her voice three times.
"Ah? We are stealing...well, we are taking things. Why don't we just empty them all?"
"What's wrong?" The young lady raised her eyebrows: "This is what he compensates us for, it can also be said to be our spoils! Empty everything. I'll go with you."
There was an eager look on her face.
Tang Wen:......
As a last resort, the two of them went there again.
At Tang Tang's request, one person carried a large backpack before going out.
Open the other person's door again.
Tangtang searched: How many kilograms of corn are there in the rice vat? Carry away.
A few benches and three dirty barrels? Move away.
"How stupid, there are two salted fish there, Xiaowen, you didn't even see them?"
"There's a lot of firewood in his house..."
Tang Wen quickly grabbed her: "Forget about the firewood?"
"Forget it?" Tang Tang looked at his younger brother: "Half the room on his side is filled with firewood, which is enough for us to burn until spring."
When she said this, Tang Wen also thought that the woodshed in the yard was indeed empty.
"Then, move away?"
"Move! If we move together, we'll probably have to move for two more nights." Tang Tang said with determination.
"Well, probably not."
With Tang Wen's current physical strength, he could walk as fast as he could while carrying two hundred kilograms on his back.
Tang Tang helped him tie the firewood into bundles with ropes, and Tang Wen carried them on his back.
Seeing in his sister's eyes that she "didn't eat so much chestnut rice in vain", he took advantage of the cover of night to quickly go back and forth seven or eight times, filling up his woodshed before dawn.
Judging from the current consumption of several kilograms of firewood per day, it is enough to burn the firewood until next spring.
The two siblings stood side by side at the door of the woodshed, looking at the harvest with smiles on their faces.
Not to mention, it feels like getting something for nothing, not even a prick!
The other things that were moved were all piled up in the yard. Tang Tang said with disdain: "The tables and chairs were chopped up and used as firewood. We don't want the barrels, salted fish and corn either. Let's take them out and exchange them for something..."
After a busy night, they were a little tired, so they went back to the house to rest.
After lunch, Tang Wen came to the blacksmith shop in the afternoon carrying an iron bow and dagger.
"This dagger is not bad. It has a scabbard that is suitable for your sister's defense." Blacksmith Li Daniu brought a whetstone to Tang Wen and looked at the iron bow that the latter brought.
"This bow?" He took it in his hand and tried to pull the string.
Hey!
Li Daniu's face turned red and he could only open it half full.
Buzz!
As soon as I let go, the steel string vibrated rapidly.
"Xiao Tang, this bow is good, but it's too strenuous. It's heavier than the bows I've seen in the guard camp! I'm afraid it will take two big men to pull it open."
Li Daniu looked rough on the outside, but he knew what was going on. Tang Wen didn't say anything about the origin of the bow, and he didn't even ask a question.
Tang Wen said sincerely: "Yes, yes, it's too heavy."
It was so heavy that even I could only fully draw the bow two or thirty times in a row.
"If there are copper coins, Brother Tang can sell the bow to the city. If the guard captain likes it, it can be worth several hundred kilograms of mutated animal meat, or it can be exchanged for enough food for several years."
Li Daniu said in an earlier chat that people in the camp who want to enter the inner city of the camp, that is, the city, need to pay an entry fee of 10 copper coins at a time.
10 copper coins can buy 10 jins of white flour and 20 jins of corn in the inner city.
For those outside the camp, it’s a sky-high price. Almost no one will go.
What's more important is that ordinary people outside the camp can't earn copper coins.
Tang Wen had no intention of selling the Iron Tire Bow, but hearing him say this made him feel like he was getting rich.
Not to mention hundreds of kilograms of alienated animal meat, even hundreds of kilograms of ordinary meat, Tang Wen didn't have.
Sure enough, the gold belt of murder and arson!
He said: "Brother Li, please make me two pairs of finger guards first, and then get some arrows. If you really want to sell them one day, take out a set and ask for a lot of money."
"It's easy to say, keep it on me. I'll also help you take care of this bow."
"How much meat do you need?"
"No, it's indecent! That pigskin is enough. Brother, you are really good, you can hit the wild boar. But don't go deeper into the forest, there might be alienated beasts that haven't been cleaned up."
"Okay, I remember."
While Li Daniu was busy with his work, Tang Wen went to the backyard to practice his sword.
After what happened yesterday, he was even more eager for strength.
[Breaking Wind Knife, master (109/1000)]
Not a single moment of half the afternoon was wasted.
"Come on, brother, let's spar for a while. Don't leave at night. Just eat at my place." Li Daniu finished his work at some point and stood in the backyard watching Tang Wen practice his sword.
"Okay, let me talk to my sister when I get back."
"Ask your sister to come with us. It will be lively when there are many people! What's the point of leaving her alone at home!"
"OK!"
It's funny to say that the two of them are good neighbors and good friends.
But I didn't even have a meal at the other person's house.
After all, food is too important to the people in the camp.
When we got home, Tang Tang also agreed to come over for dinner.
"We can't go empty-handed, right?" There was a hesitant look on the young lady's face.
Tang Wen knew that this was something distressing.
Before he could speak, Tang Tang continued: "It's not appropriate to bring chestnuts over there. They have helped us clean the house, so how about taking meat?"
Tang Wen smiled and said nothing.
Tang Tang curled his lips, cut into a pound of braised pork head, turned around and asked:
"Is that enough?"
Tang Wen smiled secretly: Miss Sister has really not changed at all. Even if she made a fortune last night, she is still as good as today... well, so good at living.
