After baking bread in the morning, I have to worry about the leather shop in the afternoon. As the market approaches, busyness is the norm.
Although the family runs a leather shop, after his uncle's death, his fiefdom - a dyeing shop - was taken over by the baron. Considering the past relationship, this dyeing shop in the countryside only charges himself and others. One-third, all kinds of leather are collected from Orion farmers, then weaved and dyed in dyeing workshops, and finally put up in stores at the market.
Carrying a bang and a gong in one hand and a small gong in the other, Chen Yi arrived at Herring Village in the barony. A commemorative ring frame was erected at the entrance of the village, marking the location and making it easy to recognize. Although the name of the village is related to herring, herring is not produced here. Instead, it is rich in a river fish called biscuit. It is said that an unknown baron mistakenly thought it was a herring. Divine judgment was still quite popular in those days, so this Name of the village.
"Uncle Aubrey, this pigskin weighs three pounds, eight silver reeds, plus eleven copper dils."
"Dog skin? Let's see, one pound six, six silver reeds."
"Mary, your sheep's fur is not shaved well. You can only get five silver reeds and no more. The cloth is well woven and very long. I will give you three more copper dires for two silver reeds."
...beating the gong, Chen Yi shouted to collect fur cloths on the wooden platform of the village square. The villagers surrounded by them pondered the price. The collected fur cloths were piled on the rented donkey, one after another. Stack.
After spending a whole morning, he finally collected all the leather cloths that a village could collect. Chen Yi tied the leather cloths on the donkey and put away the gong, but he was not in a hurry to leave.
From a distance, a particularly short and thin figure walked towards her. That was the dwarf girl Riley. She was wearing only a tunica.
"Mr. Chenyi, wait for my dad, he went to the public oven to get bread." She said in a childish voice, with young stubble growing around her lips, which is a sign that the dwarf is about to enter puberty.
"Okay, Riley."
Chen Yi touched Riley's head. Her father Suishan was good friends with her uncle. He was a hunter in the village, not the common blacksmith in the story. Even though dwarves have good skills, not every dwarf can be a blacksmith. The barony may only need one or two blacksmiths.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a short and stocky figure with a long beard that dropped to the ground appeared far away on the horizon. He was also wearing a long-sleeved tunica. The dwarf's clothes were not that particular. He walked with short legs and hurriedly hugged Running over with a pile of gray leather.
"Uncle Suishan, is this a wolf skin?" Chen Yi couldn't help but be surprised. The wolf skin was very rough and there was still unwashed blood on it.
When Suishan came closer, Chen Yi saw that his cheeks were extremely thin and glowed with a hungry yellow color.
"Yes, kid, I squatted in the forest for three days." Suishan forced out a crumpled smile, his eyes sunken.
"Uncle Suishan, how did you kill the wolf..."
Wolves are gregarious animals that usually appear deep in the forest. They usually appear in pairs, and they are extremely cunning. Hunters who go up the mountain often hide away. In fact, Chen Yi wants to ask why he wants to kill the wolf in Broken Mountain more than how to kill it. Adventure to kill the wolf.
"Bah," Suishan spat on the ground, "There was a female wolf that had just given birth. The male had gone somewhere. He was never seen. He might be dead. I chased the female wolf to the cave and chopped off its neck with an axe. .”
Seeing Chen Yi weighing the skin, Suishan begged: "Son, please help me count more. My wife has a cold and is very ill."
Chen Yi suddenly realized that no wonder Suishan wanted to go up the mountain to kill the wolf.
After taking the scale and weighing it, Chen Yi counted the pounds and weighed thirteen silver reeds on the scale.
Suishan opened his mouth, his sunken eyes couldn't help but feel happy.
Chen Yi added five more copper dils and said, "These will buy some meat for my aunt. I will take her to the town to see the priest sometime."
His own kingdom of God is limited to Resurrection Town and does not include the entire barony.
"Kid, thank you, thank you, Raymond has a good nephew." Suishan's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, "In addition to these, as long as I get the fifteen silver reeds from the warden..."
"Warden, how about fifteen silver reeds?" Chen Yi was puzzled.
Everyone knows that the warden of Resurrection Town is a tough guy.
"It's normal that you don't know, kid. I just found out." Suishan looked around, gestured for Chen Yi to bend down, and said close to his ear: "The warden sent someone over to say that the Baron has purchased a batch of newly made healing medicine. , whoever wants to try it will give fifteen silver reeds."
Baron got a new batch of healing medicine?
Chen Yi couldn't help but be confused. He had been paying attention to the castle in the past few days, but he had never heard of this news.
However, fifteen silver reeds is not a small amount of money, and Chen Yi also wants to see what happens.
"Come on, Uncle Suishan, let's take a look together."
"Quick, you are indeed Raymond's good nephew," Broken Mountain laughed heartily, "It's time for the castle to return that armor to you."
He was talking about the knight's armor recovered by Baron Artest.
After Raymond's death in the Holy Land, his armor was transported by packhorse to the Baron through pagan hands.
Raymond, who ignored the baron's orders and went to the Holy Land to protect the Holy Silver Cathedral, was naturally relieved of his knighthood.
Chen Yi stopped thinking and asked, "Where is the warden? In town?"
"The logging village, the village with the lumber mill." After saying that, Suishan turned around and told Riley to go home.
The logging village is on the border of the barony. Chen Yi thought.
Many villages in the barony have no village names, and a few have ring frames or roadside shrines to demarcate their locations. The logging village is the common name.
Because Chen Yi was holding the donkey, the two of them couldn't walk very fast. Fortunately, they arrived at the village gate before dusk.
Without looking carefully, you can see a group of people crowding at the end of the village from a distance, surrounding the warden, several jailers, and a priest who came from the town.
But the situation is different from what Suishan said. Instead of getting fifteen silver reeds for a trial drink, you can buy a small bottle for five silver reeds.
"This extraordinary potion is an ancient medicine prepared by my priest using the ancient methods of the true religion, together with your priest. The most important thing is the red paint on the icon."
The jailer shouted loudly and beat the gong. Many villagers from other places came to watch, grabbing the potions distributed inside and outside. People in this world are surprisingly pious. The old man who looked like an elder hurriedly pushed his way through the crowd. , tried his best to take out three silver reeds, a small bag of salt, and only asked for a bottle of potion with icon paint. The things were piled in the money box in the jailer's hand, and he clasped his hands to beg not to drink it immediately. Instead, it was placed in the village church for worship.
The village elder who was rejected had to drink the potion on the spot, and soon he was rolling on the floor in pain. The priest who came with the warden preached that this is an angel warning you, and you must count your sins and good deeds carefully, and subtract them. Happiness in this world.
After a while, the village elder stood up as if his bones were falling apart. After the pain passed, he clasped his hands together and repented sincerely. The priest brought holy water and wiped it on his forehead.
"The angel has passed the ring and is a good person."
There was an exclamation in the crowd, and they gathered around the village elder to ask questions. The village elder who had not fully recovered from the dizziness talked about some hallucinations in a daze, and the priest interpreted it. The feeling of spinning around was said to be that angels were holding him, and it hurt. The blurred vision was described as the indescribable light of heaven. It was so miraculous that the crowd rose up and scrambled for the sacred medicine.
Suishan cursed angrily: "You son of a bitch, how can you get such a big deal?"
He pulled Chen Yi's shoulders and said, "Don't be fooled. They said earlier that it was a new healing medicine, but they never said it was a holy medicine."
Chen Yi also found it funny. He was here, but he had never seen any angels before.
"Uncle Suishan, he originally said he wanted to try the fifteen silver reed?"
"I won't hear you wrong about money." Suishan said. Seeing the curiosity in Chen Yi's eyes, he advised: "You won't believe his lies. If you drink it, you will lose money." Twenty silver reeds!”
After hearing his words, Chen Yi originally just thought about it, but now he has to take action.
"Yes, I just want to lose twenty silver reeds." After saying this, Chen Yi squeezed into the crowd.
Staring intently at the silver and copper coins stacked in the jailer's hand, the warden nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at another box containing salt bags, eggs, cloth and other miscellaneous items, and shook his head.
After all, it's not cash. The warden couldn't help but feel pity.
Clang.
Suddenly, he clearly saw five intact silver coins thrown into the cash box.
Looking up, I couldn't help but feel that the man looked familiar.
The man took the leprosy potion from the jailer's hand and smiled politely at him.
The warden took a closer look at the cash box and clearly saw that the top five coins were all marked silver coins!
