Chapter 45 Black Market Buying Arms

Lin Yufei and others were wandering in the black market and found several muskets of the same size on a stall. They were obviously military items, so they walked over and looked at these guns.

These muskets were all front-loaded flintlock muskets, and the origin mark on the butt had been removed. He pointed the muzzle upward, squinted at the barrel and found neat rifle lines engraved inside, and nodded with satisfaction. , said to the seller: "How many of these guns do you have?"

The seller of this stall is a little man covered in a black robe. Judging from the beard exposed under the hood, he should be an old man. He was stunned after hearing Lin Yufei's words, because few buyers ask directly without asking the price. Since he was confused about the other party’s intentions, he pointed at a few muskets on the stall and said, “Just a few of them.”

"Well...I know, then forget it,"

Lin Yufei nodded, threw the gun on the stall, turned around and left.

As soon as he left, the stall owner became a little anxious and asked quickly: "Don't leave in a hurry. How many handfuls do you want?"

Lin Yufei looked back at him and said calmly: "This looks like a business."

The stall owner chuckled and said, "These things are quite sensitive, and I can't help it. Please forgive me."

Lin Yufei nodded and asked: "Do you have a large quantity of goods? I want new ones and matching bullets."

"this……"

The stall owner was a little hesitant. Seeing Lin Yufei was about to leave again, he quickly said: "Yes, but it will be more troublesome to transport this kind of thing..."

After hearing what he said, Lin Yufei thought for a while and said with a smile: "Well, I understand. A large amount of goods must be transported by opening some joints, right?"

The stall owner smiled and said: "Yes, this thing is a standard weapon of the military, it is very troublesome,"

Hearing his sincerity, Lin Yufei nodded with satisfaction and said: "How much can you get and at what price?"

The stall owner thought for a while, then traced the quantity and price on the stall with his fingers. His position and posture were very clever, and only Lin Yufei could see the quantity and price.

Lin Yufei did not answer him immediately, but picked up another gun, observed it carefully, and then nodded: "I will add another ten percent, but the ammunition will be doubled,"

After hearing this, the stall owner thought about it for a while and replied: "Okay, the delivery time is fifteen days. It is best for you to pay one-third of the deposit now."

Lin Yufei casually took out a bag and shook it. There was a crisp metal collision sound inside. He handed the bag to the stall owner and said: "There is a little more money in it. The extra money is considered as your hard work fee."

The stall owner took the bag, opened it carefully, looked inside, and immediately said with a smile: "Thank you, generous sir,"

Lin Yufei nodded, touched the square table used as a booth, and asked: "Is this table strong?"

The stall owner was stunned, thought for a moment, and replied: "These tables may not look very old, but they are made of hard wood, and even the sharpest ax is difficult to split."

Lin Yufei smiled and said: "It's not very strong, look."

As he spoke, he raised his left hand, pointed his five fingers down, and inserted it on the table with a pop. All five fingers were inserted into the wood. He raised his left hand, looked at the five holes, and said to the stall owner with a smile: "I Remember your face, you said the delivery time is fifteen days, then I will come here to pick up the goods after fifteen days, otherwise, you know,"

The stall owner looked at the five holes on the table, with cold sweat running down his back. He waited until Lin Yufei had gone far before he came to his senses. He quickly put away the deposit, and then tied all the muskets on the table to his back. , left the black market in a hurry, and took the time to prepare the goods.

Everyone left the black market. Zhao Xi fiddled with a few teeth in his hand and asked Mo Xue: "Mo Xue, why did you buy these? I can feel that they are special things, but they look useless."

Mo Xue took the tooth back from her hand, put it in the storage space, and said with a smile: "It will be useful when you go back. You forgot the three roses from Sister Jin. The poisonous roses she is using now, these fish monsters." Teeth may be the material for the next rose,"

Zhao Xi blinked and suddenly realized: "Well, the next one is called Piranha Rose, I understand."

As she said that, the little girl looked up at the stars in the sky and asked, "Brother Lin, it's midnight, where are we going?"

Lin Yufei shrugged and said: "Let's walk around and find a suitable place for us to sleep overnight. This port is quite big. Sparrow and the others do not recruit sailors in a day or two. We have to wait until the guns arrive before leaving. I guess That’s when they’ll be able to recruit enough people,”

After he finished speaking, he asked Mingxiu: "Mingxiu, are you going back to Gibbs' place to rest?"

Mingxiu shook his head, with his pigtails swung into an umbrella shape, and curled his lips and said, "I won't go to that pigsty. It's too messy and smelly in there. I'd rather sleep in the open."

Lin Yufei shrugged and said, "Then let's go for a walk on the beach over there first. Maybe we can see sea turtles laying eggs."

He randomly picked a direction and several people strolled away.

Mingxiu smacked his lips and said, "Turtle eggs are a good thing. I like their fishy smell."

Zhao Xi frowned and said, "Oh, no, you are not allowed to eat it. The little turtle is so cute."

As they said this, the two started arguing. One wanted to eat the egg, while the other objected desperately.

Lin Yufei smiled and said: "Mingxiu, why are you so greedy? I'll find some eggs that can't be hatched to satisfy your greed."

After hearing this, Mingxiu smiled happily and said, "Okay, hehe,"

Zhao Xi pouted and said dissatisfied: "Mingxiu, you eat everything, sooner or later your stomach will be full of parasites,"

Mingxiu chuckled, patted his belly and said, "It's okay, I'll just make some medicine, haha."

"snort,"

The little girl turned her head and ignored him.

Before reaching the beach, Lin Yufei twitched his ears, stopped, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, those colleagues happened to be there during the day."

Zhao Xi raised his hand and pulled out the jeweled machete. The two machetes glowed brilliantly under the moonlight.

Lin Yufei waved his hand and said, "Girl, don't be so nervous. You and Mo Xue don't need to go there. Mingxiu and I will go and take a look."

He said, pointing to a high ground next to him.

Mo Xue understood, immediately jumped to the high ground, found a suitable position, set up a large-caliber sniper rifle, and searched through the scope. When he saw the figures on the beach, he nodded to Lin Yufei and said: "Well, four people , on the beach, seems to be leaving,"

Lin Yufei nodded and said: "I understand, just aim at the archer. The girl is here to protect you."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Mingxiu and ran towards the beach.

Mingxiu felt that he was flying up like a cloud, and he quickly took out a bottle of medicine and drank it. After the medicine entered his stomach for a moment, he said to Lin Yufei: "Captain, let me down, I can keep up."

Lin Yufei saw him drinking the potion, so he let go as he was told. When he found out that Ming Xiu could follow him without missing a beat, he was surprised and said: "Your potion is very magical."
