Chapter 17: Hate (2)

The hawker named Yifan, who lives far from the market. The two of them made a turn and made nearly half an hour before they arrived at their destination.

Ivan's living standard is probably medium among the civilians in the Roger Camp. The house is similar to the real-life adobe brick houses common in rural areas during the Xia Dynasty. The main room on the first floor plus a low loft that can also be accommodated.

Ivan's family is a family of four, and the couple has two daughters. The eldest daughter is already married as a wife. The younger daughter looks like she is eight or nine years old. She hides behind her mother and peeks at Zhang Shen. Ivan's wife looks much younger than him, but judging from her rough hands, she is also a hard-working person to manage the family.

All the tanned velvet papers of Ivan were placed in an empty room.

After counting, there were a total of 143 pieces, five pieces made into bundles, and piled into a hill.

"Sir, are you... not satisfied?" Seeing Zhang Shen frowning after frowning after turning around the pile of velvets for a few times, Ivan was frightened.

Zhang Shen shook his head: "I'm just thinking about how to transport so much velvet back."

As the lowest-level storage device, the shrinking hand towels have restrictions on the weight and volume of the stored items. Moreover, there are already a lot of pieces of things inside, so it is obvious that such a large pile of velvet paper cannot be filled.

Ivan's eyes rolled: "Sir, why don't I go and borrow a wheelbarrow to help you move it back?"

Although his family background is slightly better, he is not as luxurious as to be able to buy a wheelbarrow. He usually goes on and goes by himself when he sells things on the market.

"Is it right here?" Zhang Chan asked casually.

"Just at the corner, Old Charlie's house, and it's just a few steps!" When talking about Old Charlie in his mouth, Ivan's face clearly showed envy and longing expressions, "Old Charlie is lucky. His daughter is attracted by a noble adult and has gained a lot of money... Otherwise, he wouldn't have the spare money to buy a wheelbarrow."

"Okay, you go and go back quickly." Zhang Shen refused to comment.

Within a few minutes, Ivan came back with a wheelbarrow sweating profusely, obviously running all the way, for fear that Zhang Shen would be impatient.

"By the way, this is the money to buy your velvet paper, and the shipping fee." Zhang Guan watched Yifan's family of three carry the velvet paper into the car and then fix it with something like a hemp rope. Suddenly, he slapped his head and remembered.

The golden coins made the three of them look straight.

"Ten, ten, ten gold coins? No, no, no, sir, there are too many, really too many! These things are only three gold coins at most, no, two are enough!" Yifan forced himself to look at the small pile of gold coins handed over by Zhang Shen, and hurriedly refused.

"Please accept it. Your velvet paper has helped me a lot. The extra one is my thank you."

"If you really feel sorry for it, make more velvet paper at home these days. Maybe I will come here to buy some in a few days. The rest is even a deposit."

"This, this... OK." Zhang Shen's words had already reached this point, and Ivan had no reason to refuse. He grabbed the gold coins with his trembling hands, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and stuffed the money to his wife, who was also extremely excited.

"Selia, I'll send things to the adults. You're waiting for me at home. Remember, don't go out casually." After solemnly instructing my wife, Ivan put the rope on his shoulder and dragged the wheelbarrow out.

After walking out of the gate of Ivan's house and walking a few steps, Zhang Shen was surprised to find that the alley where no one had walked around had become noisy and lively. Nearby residents walked out of the house one after another, and adults stood at the door or in the alley, and the children's faces emerged from the wooden panes of the attic, and their eyes were all looking at a place.

"What's the situation?" Zhang Chan turned around and asked Yifan.

Ivan put down the car, stood on tiptoe and looked at it a few times, and smiled and said, "Sir, it is the old Charlie's house I just mentioned to you, and it is the owner of this wheelbarrow."

"From this attitude, it's probably because his daughter has returned, and his son-in-law has come with him." Ivan smacked his lips, and couldn't help but fantasize about his daughter's appearance as a professional adult in the future.

"Oh." Zhang Shen asked casually, without much interest.

Continue moving forward, before the gathered alleys wait for Zhang Chan to speak, they see the latter's outfit and Ivan's expression, and make way for the two of them to pass through the car.

At the corner, there was a house slightly better than the Ivan's house, which was the old Charlie's house.

At the door, a man in his fifties greeted his neighbors with a smile on his face, most of them were Old Charlie. Around him, two men and women dressed clearly differently, were Old Charlie's daughter and son-in-law.

His daughter is really good-looking, with a concave figure, a pair of peach-shaped eyes, small cherry mouths, rare long blue hair, natural curly ends, and she is a beauty even if she doesn't dress up.

She smiled happily on her face and snuggled in the arms of a man. The latter had a gentle smile on her face and said something in her ear, which made her smile cover her mouth and smile, her eyes flowing, and her wind was full of charm.

Looking at the man in a moon-white long gown, Zhang Shen narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

That person is Xu Ping!

"It turned out to be this scum!" A little dark red appeared deep in Zhang Shen's pupils, flashing and fleeting.

Perhaps because he sensed something, Xu Ping turned his head, his expression suddenly stagnated, and his face showed a look of astonishment.

Then, he nodded at Zhang Chan and smiled, indicating friendship.

"Sir, are you and that adult acquaintance?" Ivan interjected.

"Old acquaintance? Humph, that kind of garbage..." Zhang Shen smiled coldly, ignored Xu Ping's show of goodwill, and stepped forward.

Ivan secretly scolded himself for talking too much, shrank his neck, pulled the cart with his head down, and stopped talking.

Xu Ping saw Zhang Shen's disdain and contempt, his expression stopped and his smile froze on his face.

"Dear, what's wrong?" The beautiful young woman in her arms asked in a delicate voice.

"It's okay." Xu Ping replied with a gentle smile, but his heart was filled with anger, wishing he could tear Zhang Shen to pieces.

"Hmph, a slag who has just completed the trial dares to show me his face. You are seeking death!"

"Wait, as long as three virgins, my Yin-Yang Hehuan Technique can advance to the seventh level, and then it will be your death!"

"When the time comes, let's see how I torture you!"

The beautiful young woman was once again immersed in her husband's handsome appearance and warm smile, and her heart was filled with the touch of happiness.

After being disturbed by Zhang Shen, Xu Ping suddenly felt a sense of "urgency".

"Nana, I suddenly remembered that there was another important thing to deal with. I might not be able to spend the night here tonight." A hint of apology appeared on Xu Ping's face full of love and tenderness, and a hint of pain appeared in his eyes.

The woman called Nana looked stagnant, and when she saw her husband's expression, she comforted him: "It's okay, my dear, we have a long life in the future, won't we?"

"Yeah." Xu Pingzhan smiled and secretly activated the moves in the Yin-Yang Hehuan Art, making the woman in her arms more addicted to herself.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

He piled up the velvet paper sent by Ivan in an empty room, and Zhang Shen thought about the situation inside and outside the camp for a moment, but it felt that the number of these points in front of him was probably not enough.

Although the drawing of the refining array does not limit the carrying objects, as the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance to extravagance to frugality. After getting used to the convenience and speed of velvet, Zhang Shen is completely unwilling to draw on the ground.

Moreover, after several days of actual combat, Zhang Shen discovered a small trick that can shorten the drawing time.

The essence of the refining formation is to use the rules of the world. It is not said that it must be drawn on the spot. You can draw other parts except the techniques in advance, and just select the techniques directly!

Zhang Shen’s current level of alchemy is limited to the most basic refining of naturally occurring substances, such as making the soil soft and hard, the transformation of water and ice, the generation of flames (uncontrollable), etc. As for the transformation of rocks, bricks and soil, the complex refining of water into snowflakes, steam, wood, and steel cannot be completed.

Not to mention the transformation of gold, the human body is refined into such high-end, atmospheric and high-end products.

Therefore, Zhang Shen can use only a few methods now. In addition to the selection, splitting and combination of techniques, other parts can be completed in advance. Just pay attention to classifying the six basic forces of "earth", "fire", "water", "wind", "light" and "darkness".

The oval symbolizing "water", the triangle symbolizing "earth", the diamond symbolizing "fire", the square symbolizing "wind", the upper crescent moon symbolizing "light", and the lower crescent moon symbolizing "dark".

In fact, although there are six basic categories of alchemy, someone’s current abilities can only use the first three…

Making up his mind, Zhang Shen closed the door and walked towards the trading market again.

This time, he went to the other end, with relatively concentrated stores.

As mentioned earlier, the reason why Zhang Shen has been buying velvet paper at Yifan is because the quality of the velvet paper he tanned is excellent. But without Zhang butcher, Li butcher and Wang butcher, the quality is just slightly worse.

Based on his memories of visiting the market, Zhang Shen walked towards a shop that specializes in selling velvet paper.

When Zhang Shen was a few hundred meters away from the store, when he passed an intersection, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his sight.

"Huh? That's..." The man quickly disappeared into the crowd. Zhang Shen was confused and took a picture of the [ignorant talisman] on himself and sprinkled some potion to restrain his breath, and quickly followed.

Judging from the back and breath, it was indeed that person, but why did the outfit change? Didn’t that guy keep dressing for five or six?

With the question in my heart, someone who was idle and had nothing to do followed closely.

The man in front seemed to have no idea that he would be followed and had no intention of being guarded. Although he was fast, he also swaggered through the market and continued to move south. Looking at the direction he was walking, he should be the poor area near the city wall to the south.

As expected, nearly twenty minutes later, the two of them came to a closer, low and dilapidated slum area.

The man's goal was very clear, pointing directly to a certain room.

At the door, a man in his forties and a girl of fifteen or sixteen was standing there. When he saw the man coming, the man smiled like a flower on his face, and the girl showed a shy and sweet smile.

The man exchanged a few greetings with the man and held the girl's hand into the house.

The moment he turned around, Zhang Guan saw the man's appearance clearly.

Although there are a little changes, it is the same as I guess.
