Chapter 10: Shopping Spree
Robin didn't ask what he was doing in the city, and Zhong Shenxiu didn't tell her carefully. After the two of them had breakfast, Zhong Shenxiu ran towards the city like when they came, as it would be faster.
Without going elsewhere, Zhong Shenxiu took Robin and went directly to the medicinal materials store. When he arrived at the door of the store, Zhong Shenxiu put down Robin, took out a bamboo tube from his waist and walked in.
When I went in, I saw that the person standing on the counter was not the fat shop owner before, but a middle-aged man. Seeing that his face looked very similar to that of the fat shop owner, I guess he should be his son. Yes, I was on duty all night, so I should change someone else, otherwise even the most powerful person would have to lie down.
"What do you need to order?" The middle-aged man did not despise Zhong Shenxiu and Robin because they were children. Instead, he was very polite. It seemed that he had received his father's teachings.
"I'm here to sell snakes." Zhong Shenxiu said as he handed over the bamboo tube, and did not forget to remind him, "There is a five-step snake king inside. I haven't eaten anything for a long time. Be careful not to bite him."
The middle-aged man was obviously shocked when he heard the four words "Five-step Snake King", but he still looked at Zhong Shenxiu with gratitude, thanking him for his kind reminder.
In fact, Zhong Shenxiu's concerns are a bit redundant. People who do this industry are quite good at snakes.
The middle-aged man took a small empty iron cage and stuffed the bamboo tube into the cage with his hands. Then he saw him open the bamboo tube very carefully. When the snake body was exposed, he took out the hand and bamboo tube from the iron cage as quickly as possible, and skillfully fastened the cover.
The Five-Step Snake King was trapped in this bamboo tube by Zhong Shenxiu for several days without seeing the sun. He suddenly came out of the bamboo tube and began to hiss with excitement.
The middle-aged man seemed even more excited when he saw the five-step snake king in the cage. He hurriedly took out a bag of coins from the counter and counted them and handed them to Zhong Shenxiu, as if he was afraid that Zhong Shenxiu would take back the five-step snake king if he was one step slower.
Zhong Shenxiu ordered the money, and there were exactly seventy silver coins. Knowing that the middle-aged man had not deceived him, he took the bamboo tube back and led Robin out of the store. (This bamboo tube was finally made by Zhong Shenxiu, so he did not throw it directly to the store owner as generously as selling medicinal materials)
Zhong Shenxiu took the money and took Robin straight to the market.
The market is now filled with people, with various shouts mixed with each other, making it look extremely noisy.
Zhong Shenxiu came here and there was nothing else, she just came for shopping, and she was shopping even more crazy than last time.
He first bought a carriage and a strong horse, spent about ten silver coins, then bought a large jar, and then various pots and pans. He then bought a few sets of bedding, bought a few sets of change clothes for Robin, and then bought some other miscellaneous things. After purchasing one of the groups, the whole carriage was already full.
However, after buying so many things, I only spent more than 30 silver coins. This is not how valuable the money here is, but the things here are really cheap, especially these daily necessities. However, if you buy weapons and equipment, it is a different matter, it is simply too expensive. With Zhong Shenxiu's bag of money, you may not be able to buy a sword hilt, you should say how expensive it is! And magic equipment is even more scary!
Driving the carriage, Zhong Shenxiu and Robin in the carriage began to rush back.
The speed of the carriage was incomparable to the speed of Zhong Shenxiu's light skills. After a while, he had just left the city gate.
Robin looked at the car full of things curiously. She felt that the little master in front of her revealed endless mystery, but also had infinite abilities.
"Robin." Zhong Shenxiu called softly.
"What's the matter with Master?" Robin put his body to Zhong Shenxiu.
"You should also practice the Necromancer. Now, you are not allowed to practice again without my permission. Do you know? Today I studied the formation system of your Necromancer and found that there are many disadvantages and hidden dangers. After I compiled a complete plan, you will continue to practice. I will teach you some other skills in the next days. Do you know if you have to prepare for hard work?" Zhong Shenxiu never looked at Robin when he spoke.
"Robin is not afraid of suffering!" Robin said hurriedly.
"That's good."
After a little bit of gossip, Zhong Shenxiu and his team rushed back to the cave, settled the horses and started unloading the truck.
Robin was weak and could only carry some lightweight things like bedding and basins, while those "sumo-level" heavy objects were handed over to Zhong Shenxiu.
Looking at Zhong Shenxiu, who was carrying a water tank lightly, Robin was extremely surprised. She didn't understand why the master was obviously smaller than her, but she had such great strength. What was going on? Could it be that the master was an orc? I heard that the orcs were born with divine power.
Of course, Zhong Shenxiu didn't know what she was thinking about for Robin, who was thinking about it. She thought she was a little tired and took a break. If he knew that Robin had regarded him as an orc, he wouldn't know what he felt.
After a while of busy work, I finally arranged all the items.
"Wait here and I'm not allowed to run around." Zhong Shenxiu said to Robin with two buckets, but after he took two steps, he came back, "Forget it, you'd better follow me!"
To be honest, I was really worried about leaving Robin here alone for a long time. (Because the place where the water was lifted was a little far away from here)
Robin was so beautiful when he heard that he could follow him.
Zhong Shenxiu took Robin to the water source. Although this was much slower than he did alone, this was the safest way, and he could also teach Robin some herbal knowledge.
"Did Robin see this grass? It is called Qibuxinhua. It can be used to create poison that makes people die after taking seven steps." Zhong Shenxiu pointed to Qibuxinhua and explained to the guests.
Robin lit his little head and silently recorded its shape and color.
"Robin saw this. It is called ginseng. It can refine very good elixirs. I am not talking about leaves, but its root. Yes, that part. In the future, I will slowly teach you how to refine elixirs. Your current task is to clearly record all the herbs I taught you. If you don't understand, you can ask, but you must remember them clearly, otherwise a person may die. Do you know?" Zhong Shenxiu told Robin the powerful relationship.
Robin recorded more carefully the herbal names and some simple functions that Zhong Shenxiu pointed out to her.
The two walked for a while, and Zhong Shenxiu suddenly pointed to a large green leaf on the ground and said, "Robin, don't you like sweet potatoes? If you see those green leaves, they are sweet potatoes. Yes, you are right. They grow underground like ginseng. In order to deepen your impression, you can dig one out."
Almost as soon as Zhong Shenxiu finished speaking, Robin jumped and slashed at the sweet potato like a little rabbit.
"Master, it's really sweet potato!" Robin happily showed off at Zhong Shenxiu with a piece of stuff that was not much bigger than potatoes.
