BXBX NOVEL Chapter 410: Your elephant is not bad, how much can you sell it for?
Shen Mingjiao pursed her lips and said nothing, not because those snakes are afraid of elephants, but because both snakes and elephants here have problems.
Fu Ling waved away Ah Cai's hand, straightened his clothes, and walked forward with a straight back:
"In Xiawujiazhai Fuling, I was ordered by my grandfather to ask the chief of the water for medicine,"
He pointed to Shen Mingjiao and the group behind him, "These are the companions who came with me."
The man sitting on the elephant's back casually glanced at Shen Mingjiao and his party who were in a state of embarrassment. He raised his chin and asked:
"Oh, I don't know what medicine I want to ask the patriarch for?"
Fu Ling frowned, but still said according to what had been discussed earlier: "Someone in the clan was accidentally bitten by a short-tailed viper. My grandfather heard that there is a medicine that can cure this snake's venom in Shenwu Village. So he asked me to bring the witch doctor over here." Searching."
After finishing speaking, he took out a few pieces of high-quality fur material from the bag, "This is a thank you gift."
The head of the Shui clan quickly glanced at the smooth and slippery materials, "Our Shenwu village has ancestors' precepts, and no outsiders are allowed to enter.
But... it's not easy for you to come all the way, so let's do it! You wait here, I will ask the tribe to bring the medicine. "
It is indeed as the Wu patriarch said, they are both in Wenshan City and belong to the same clan. Even if the Shenwu Village can hide from the world, it is not easy to refuse such trivial matters, besides...
Catriarch Shui stared at the few pieces of fur indiscriminately. These are all high-quality materials, and they can be worth hundreds of gold outside.
Fu Ling frowned, because she was displeased with the other party's attitude, and they didn't come here to ask for any medicine at all! He couldn't help but quickly glanced at Shen Mingjiao.
But she saw that Shen Mingjiao's feet seemed to be numb, and she was about to fall when she was staggering, but she was supported by Yun Shu who was beside her with quick eyes and hands, and when she straightened up, the purse on her waist accidentally fell off. The tether was torn apart, revealing a thick roll of banknotes, Shen Mingjiao hurriedly bent down to check it.
This action happened to be seen clearly by the water chief sitting on the back of the elephant. His eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but look carefully at Shen Mingjiao.
Before coming here, I tried to be realistic in disguise. All the women worked hard, but Fu Guang dyed her blond hair black with some unknown means, so no matter who saw them at first glance, they thought they were just ordinary Miao women.
However, at this moment, Shen Mingjiao deliberately straightened her back and raised her chin slightly. Even though she was in a mess, she still showed a bit of arrogance and pride.
She seemed to have reached the limit of her patience, and complained to Fu Ling in a low voice:
"Didn't Daddy say that you Miao people are the most hospitable? We have traveled so far, let's not talk about the hospitality of good wine and food, at least let us go in and have a drink!"
Fu Ling froze for a moment. Although he looked straightforward, his thoughts were delicate, and thanks to the past few days of getting along, he quickly reacted. Patriarch Chongshui begged in a low voice:
"Can we go in for a drink and a break?"
Clan Chief Shui frowned hesitantly. There is no rule that outsiders are not allowed to enter the Shenwu Village. It's just that few people set foot on it.
But now, the head of the village is the one who has set up a very poisonous Ten Thousand Snake Cave outside the village to prevent outsiders from entering.
But when Patriarch Shui thought of the pile of bank notes he saw just now, the minimum denomination of the bank notes was also fifty taels, and he hesitated again.
Anyway, that person just left not long ago. According to the usual practice, the next time will be at least three months later.
As long as he is careful, he will kill this group of people when he gets the money. Throw it into the mountains, and it is guaranteed that no one will notice.
He gritted his teeth and nodded arrogantly at everyone: "Yes."
The elephant swung its trunk, turned its bulky body and walked back slowly, and a group of people followed behind the elephant.
Feeling the eyes of the water chief from time to time, Shen Mingjiao suddenly raised her head and said with a smile: "Your elephant is not bad, how much can you sell it for?"
Her tone was not bad for money, the corner of the head of the aquarium's mouth was crazy about Yang, but he tried his best to keep a straight face and said in a cold voice:
"What nonsense, this is a sacred object in the village, only the patriarchs of the past generations can ride it, beasts have spirits, how can you insult it with money!"
Shen Mingjiao said "Oh" very understandingly: "I have said so much, it means that it is more expensive than the elephant next to you! Your eloquence is really a good salesman. After you pack it like this, it instantly makes this one ordinary The elephant becomes noble and holy!"
She spread her hands: "But after what you said, I really like this elephant. How much is it? Do you have a price?"
The corner of Aqua Chief's mouth really twitched this time, as if he couldn't believe that there was such an operation!
Fu Ling persuaded in a low voice: "You really want to buy an elephant!"
Fu lowered his voice again and said: "He cheated on you. These are just ordinary elephants. There are many elephants in the mountains. If you want, I will get one for you later."
Shui Patriarch: "..." Do you think I'm dead? Also, when did I say I was selling elephants? I think should not be!
However... What is certain right now is that this group of people or this unknown woman is worth a lot.
Nothing happened next, and the group entered the Shenwu Village smoothly.
Both belong to the Miao nationality, and the houses in Shenwu Village are no different from Wujia Village except that they are more primitive.
The only difference is the feeling. If Wujiazhai is warm and simple, it will give people a cold and depressed feeling.
If there is only one violation, it is only the head of the water clan of the Shenwu village in front of him.
A group of people came to a vacant stilted building. Fu Ling and the guard A Cai followed the head of the water clan to get the medicine.
After Shen Mingjiao sat down, two women in authentic Miao costumes came over to serve tea. After they left, Yun Shu whispered:
"This water chief is too..." not like the head of the clan.
Shen Mingjiao also lowered her voice: "Obviously, this is a brat!"
It stands to reason that even if the patriarch of Shenwu Village is not pedantic and rigid, he can't be a villain who is greedy for money and has his eyes above the top anyway.
As for the person behind Chief Shui, it is definitely Qing Yao without even thinking about it.
Yun Shu asked: "Then what shall we do next?"
Shen Mingjiao glanced at a corner of the door, and deliberately said loudly:
"Didn't you say that there is a thousand-year-old agarwood here? This is lifeless, where can I find it?"
Yun Shu reacted after a moment of surprise, and answered with a smile: "Maybe it's that Taoist Youfang talking nonsense, why don't we go back after playing for a while!"
Shen Mingjiao snorted, "I don't want it. Daddy collects wood in Wenshan City. I sneaked out without telling anyone. If I didn't bring anything back, I would lose face!"
Yun Shu persuaded: "Although the thousand-year-old fragrant wood is worth tens of thousands of gold, the master is the richest man in the north, and his family wealth is far more than ten thousand. Miss, why are you so obsessed with finding some wood?"
"What do you know, Daddy's 50th birthday next month, this is a gift for Daddy..."
After a while, until the figure outside the house disappeared. The two looked at each other, tacitly agreed.
Ming took a sip of oil tea patiently. "What charades are you playing?"
Shen Mingjiao probably glanced at the furnishings in the room: "Obviously, fishing!"
Ming rolled his eyes: "He's the richest man in the north. And he came all the way to buy goods in person? How can a fool believe such nonsense?"
Shen Mingjiao asked: "Why are the operas of those emperors and princes so popular among the common people?
Because it is outrageous enough and the plot is cool enough. So it doesn't matter if we listen to it, as long as the water chief believes it is enough. "
The reason why they say this is because Patriarch Shui is greedy for money and has no brains, and he will not be willing to let her "fat sheep" go, so they have a reason to stay in Shenwu Village.
Secondly, after knowing that the rich businessman's father of "Fat Sheep" is in Wenshan City, not only will Chief Shui not kill them, he will also ensure their safety, because he wants more.
