The key is that you don’t have much technical skills when you come to the daughter country to sell goods, and it won’t be like going to a casino and being set up to lose.
If you have a lot of hardships and are lucky enough not to be captured by the big corvee, you can make money.
Therefore, the month after a big corvee is often the peak period for the influx of wage earners (men), because the probability of having two big corvees in a row is relatively small.
When these people from the Western Kingdom talked about the pain of leaving their hometown, they all had runny noses and tears. They were also homesick due to their drunkenness. Coming to the daughter's country to sell goods was not only a waste of energy, but also a lot of money.
What a waste of money.
Seeing that these people were all drunk, Fang Linyan pondered for a while and then said to the busy second brother:
"Since this daughter is so dangerous to men in the country, how come the second brother Wang can stay here for forty years?"
Gu Ding looked at the extremely busy second brother Wang, smiled lightly and said:
"There is a reason why he was able to stay here for forty years. That is because he had to throw away his ancestral name, sold himself as a slave, and became a dog to the nobles in the daughter country."
"Think about it, your life from now on will be sharing a woman with several men, and this woman will sit on your head every day as her master. You are just her servant. You will have to laugh when you see her sleeping with other men.
, and you can’t touch other women.”
"Not only that, once she gets pregnant with your son, she will definitely abort it. Even if she can leave a son for you, she can't bear your surname! When you see her, you have to nod and bow down and call her young master. This girl is in her
Under my guidance, I will only treat you like an old dog..."
After saying this, everyone was speechless. One of them, Gu Fei, a young man, put down his wine bowl, shook his head and said:
"Don't mention this life, it's difficult even to think about it for a second! I used to think that it was just getting married, but I didn't expect that living this life is a hundred times harder than recruiting a married woman. It can't be done, it must not be done in this damn place.
stay."
Seeing that the old man Gu Ding was also drunk and started chatting, Fang Linyan asked another question:
"I'm a newbie here, and I really don't know much about the situation here. After listening to Gu Zhangren's words, it's as if the clouds are clearing and the sun is shining brightly, but there's one thing I'm a little curious about."
Guding said:
"You tell me, you tell me, we are just chatting over the wine table right now. I'll just say it, and you just listen to it."
Fang Linyan whispered:
"Actually, I was quite curious before I came to this daughter's country. There is no more affection in the world than between parents and their children. If two people are cold-hearted and cold-hearted, then there is something to be said for it."
"But how can the women in this daughter's country be so cruel? Once they become pregnant, they have to go to the fetal spring to verify the gender of the fetus and then abort it?"
After hearing Fang Linyan's words, Gu Ding and others all laughed, and Gu Fei even said with a big tongue:
"Brother Xie, you probably came here not long ago. In fact, the people in the Daughter Country don't shy away from this reason. You will know it if you ask around in the market."
After hearing this, Fang Linyan immediately said:
"I was about to ask Brother Gu for advice."
Gu Fei said:
"Youdao is a country where people are nourished by the soil and water. All women who are born and raised in the daughter's land are usually in good health and seldom get sick. But once they leave their hometown too far, they will become acclimatized, which is very serious."
"So, the local merchants in the Daughter's Kingdom usually only travel three to four hundred miles nearby. This is the limit. They never go more than five hundred miles away. And my uncle has also dealt with them and knows that they usually
When traveling far away, there is one thing that is indispensable: country soil."
"What is that?" Fang Linyan asked curiously.
At this time, Old Man Guding was happily chewing a piece of fat lamb in his mouth. After hearing Fang Linyan's question, he didn't rush to answer. Instead, after chewing a few more times, he served the piece of meat with wine, and then said:
"The "xiangjing soil" mentioned in other places is actually just grabbing a handful of soil from the hometown, but the "xiangjing soil" brought by the merchants of the daughter country is different. It must be the soil in the water that has been drank for a long time, and then fried and dried in a pot.
Grind it finely and sprinkle a little when you eat every day."
"For example, if you often drink the well water at home, you have to go to the bottom of the well to get out the sediment. Or if you drink the water from the river in front of your door, you have to get the river mud and dry it. If this is the case, this method can only be used at most.
It can only keep people from the daughter country for half a year. If you don't return home, you will definitely be seriously ill and bedridden."
Gu Fei continued:
"This is the first special thing about them, and the second special thing is that once a woman here is pregnant with a male fetus and does not abort it in time, and the fetus grows to more than three months, the pregnant woman herself will become
My whole body becomes swollen, and then there are red spots all over my body, hands and face, which can be seen by others at a glance."
"At five months, pregnant women will be in quite a lot of pain. The reaction to morning sickness is extremely strong, and few people can endure it."
"Not only that, but it has been passed down since ancient times that if a girl country really gave birth to a male fetus, then when the male fetus was born, the mother's abdomen would burst and die. Not only that, the born male fetus would also turn into blood.
Monsters like demons bring harm to one party."
"So, not only the people are deeply disgusted with this, but the supervision is very strict, even the official government has issued repeated orders and publicity for many times, and also dispatched special supervisors all over the country to supervise and monitor. Anyone who violates the prohibition will be killed without mercy.
."
This statement really opened Fang Linyan's eyes.
Old man Guding added:
"Not only that, I heard that as long as the male fetuses are aborted, the government will pay for them to be taken away and burned. According to folk rumors, the male fetuses that were aborted at first were thrown away everywhere. As a result, some had special birthdays and horoscopes.
, it will attract miasma and vicious energy to linger nearby, and eventually turn into a ghost, a baby is born, etc., causing plagues and disasters!"
"In this case, the government came forward to deal with the aborted fetuses in a unified manner to avoid the emergence of evil spirits. The miscarried woman can also receive a sum of money to rest and support her health. It is also a kind act to care for the people."
After hearing the news, most of the doubts in Fang Linyan's heart were gone. It was almost an hour since the bloody light beam dissipated. The limelight had passed, and he was full of wine and food. It was time to go to Zhaotai Spring.
So Fang Linyan called Brother Wang over, exchanged the money directly and asked for directions, then Shi Shiran went downstairs. He didn't encounter any strange things along the way. With the help of the magic talisman he bought,
Soon we arrived at Juzhen Temple.
This Juzhen Temple is located in a village. You can see the white walls and black tiles of the Taoist temple from a distance. Although it occupies a small area, it looks very clean. It is estimated that there are only about ten people inside.
Just people.
Fang Linyan went to knock on the door. After waiting for a long time, someone came to open the door. The person who opened the door was an old Taoist nun whose face was covered with orange peels. She glanced at Fang Linyan with her eyes that were more white than black and said nothing.
Just say it and close it immediately!
Fortunately, Fang Linyan reacted quickly and blocked the door with one kick, and then said:
"This Taoist priest is very polite. I really have something to ask you to see the master of your temple."
The old Taoist nun had a cold face and kicked him in the foot, but she was an ordinary person. Fang Linyan didn't feel any pain, but her feet hurt from the shock, so she took a sip and said:
"You are so rude. There are only Taoist nuns in this temple, and there are no male visitors. Why do you forcefully open the door?"
Fang Linyan frowned and said:
"I have nothing to say to you, the old gatekeeper, and I want you to come out, the master of the temple."
How could this old Taoist nun give in? But she couldn't help it at this time, so Fang Linyan rushed directly inside and squeezed her away easily.
When it comes to how well this old woman curses, Fang Linyan is absolutely blown away, but Fang Linyan doesn't even try to compete with her verbally, so there's nothing she can do.
However, when Fang Linyan just broke into the main hall, he saw a middle-aged female Taoist priest walking out hurriedly. She had an average appearance, but she seemed to be amiable, but she frowned at her.
Fang Linyan said:
"This benefactor is so rude. This place is a pure place, and we practice Kun Dao. Why do you, a man, want to barge in here?"
Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"I thank you Wen. Are you going to ask me the name of this fairy?"
The female Taoist nun looked quite well-educated. Although she was very angry, she still said:
"Princess Jingyi, to thank the benefactor, why don't you hurry out?"
Fang Linyan flipped his wrist, half of the reverse luck pendant was spread out in the center of his palm, and then smiled and said:
"I was entrusted by someone to hand this magic weapon to the master of Juzhen Temple for her to take a look at. If the master takes a look at it and thinks I am presumptuous, then I will turn around and leave. I won't talk nonsense."
Taoist Aunt Jingyi was about to speak when she looked at the half pendant in Fang Linyan's palm. She was startled and said with a look of astonishment on her face:
"This...is this?"
Then she quickly stepped forward and grabbed the reverse luck pendant. Fang Linyan cleverly moved his hand and said:
"The pendant cannot leave my hand. The rest of Taoist Jingyi please help yourself."
Jingyi glared at him and could only hold Fang Linyan's hand up, then looked at it carefully, and quickly sighed:
"It turned out to be a genuine product made by Mr. Huang! Unfortunately, it has been broken. If it is intact, it would be priceless."
