Chapter 68
But luck from heaven is obviously not that simple.

Until the news came that Zhuang Nei entered the city, not to mention the injured tiger, even the healthy wild bear Gu Sheng didn't see a hair.

Gu Sheng could only sigh softly in his heart.

There is no way if you are unlucky, and there is no rush for this matter.

Fortunately, he has still made money since he practiced martial arts. He hunted wild boars and wolves from time to time, and roughly calculated that he spent more than ten taels of silver. At this time, all his savings should add up to about 20 taels of silver.

"This time I'm going to the city, I can sell some skins, and then go to the black market to see if I can get medicines such as four stone bows and exercise ointment!"

After clarifying the goal, Gu Sheng signed up for Zhuang Nei's procurement team.

The procurement team was naturally overjoyed at the addition of Gu Sheng, a skilled archer.

Only a few months have passed since the incident of going to the city last winter, so this time, except for a few villagers who had to go to the city due to urgent matters, almost everyone else in the village has some psychological shadows and dare not go to the city for the time being.

Last time, more than a dozen village residents died directly. When the corpses were carried back, the village was full of grief, and everyone still remembered it vividly.

Gu Erniu also chose not to enter the city, and Gu Sheng helped him get out the two leathers together.

"Ah Sheng, you must be careful. Although the Black Sand Gang has just finished collecting the annual donations in spring, nothing should happen, but if there is an emergency, you should protect yourself first."

Gu Erniu warned carefully, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face, which is equivalent to Gu Sheng taking the risk.

Gu Sheng smiled and said:

"I'll be careful, Brother Er Niu, just help me look after my house these days."

"Don't worry!" Gu Erniu's chest thumped loudly.

The procurement convoy entering the city this time was obviously much smaller, and there were fewer villagers accompanying it. The steward was someone Gu Sheng didn't know. After Gu Renxu's death, the master reappointed a new steward named Gu Renbing, but there were quite a few warriors leading the team.

This time it was Gu Jingang who took the lead.

There are six or seven warriors together.

Just after what happened last time, Zhuang Nei was still a little apprehensive, safety first.

After Gu Jingang used up the strong blood pill, he is now a minor success in blood refinement, with strong combat power, and the safety factor is higher if he leads the team.

But this time Gu Xiaojiang didn't go to the city, he seldom shows up now, and he rarely sees Gu Sheng, and he is all focused on practicing martial arts. The villa's expectations for him are very high, and he himself is under a lot of pressure.

"lets go."

Gu Jingang smiled at Gu Sheng, and then shouted in a deep voice.

Although Gu Sheng's talent in martial arts is mediocre, his amazing archery still impresses him deeply.

There was an experience of entering the city once, but this time Gu Sheng focused on the journey and tried to remember it, so that he would be safer when he entered the city alone.

This time the team is obviously much duller.

Everyone looked around from time to time, extremely vigilant, for fear that something might happen.

Fortunately, there was nothing unreasonable this time, even if there were bandits blocking the way occasionally, they retreated after Gu Jingang declared himself to be home.

see it.

Gu Jingang's prestige is even higher than Gu Dajiang's.

Moreover, last time when Gu's Village exterminated the Mangniu Mountain bandits, the nearby bandits knew that Gu's Village was not easy to mess with, and there would be almost no troublesome bandits in a short time.

The convoy was very fast, and arrived at Canghe County after noon.

Looking at the familiar city gate, Gu Sheng's tense spirit shook, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The experience of going to the city this time is the normal state of Gujiazhuang's usual purchases, and it is rare to encounter attacks once or twice a year or two.

Settled down in the courtyard.

After Gu Jingang nodded slightly to the crowd, he turned and went in to rest, while the steward Gu Renbing told the crowd:

"In the next few days, you can walk freely, bring a temporary guide, so as not to be expelled from the city, and wait until the purchases in the village are completed, and return to the village together, no waiting!"

In a daze, Gu Sheng seemed to see the shadow of Gu Renxu from Gu Renbing.

Gu Renxu had said the same thing back then.

Shaking his head, he put away the slightly complicated emotions in his heart, turned and left.

It was still early in the day.

Let's do things first.

This time there were no such valuable items as silver fox fur, so Gu Sheng didn't choose to go to Mingyutang, that would be too uneconomical, he chose the stall that Gu Erniu planned to go to last time to sell it by himself.

Although more troublesome, the price will be higher.

Today's Gu Sheng still has to plan carefully.

Walk into the market.

Immediately, you can see many vendors setting up stalls to sell, and people come and go, so lively.

Gu Sheng took a general look, there were many new gadgets or things needed for food and clothing, but there were no precious medicines needed for martial arts, let alone weapons and martial arts.

These are all publicly prohibited transactions, unless there is a permit issued by the government, similar to Ming Yutang.

Otherwise, you can only go to the black market.

A small stall was set up, and Gu Sheng neatly arranged the pieces of leather, and started selling like other vendors.

soon.

Someone stopped in front of Gu Sheng's booth.

Gu Sheng's archery skills are excellent, and he rarely damages the leather when he hunts, which is easy to attract people's attention.

The middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper asked:
"How much is this wolf skin?"

"Four hundred words."

"How about less, I want two leathers."

"I will charge you 780 papers for a small business. You are a big shot. My leather is not bad, and it is even more complete. You won't lose face when you buy it back."

"You young man can speak, so let's go for 780."

The butler man smiled, took out a money bag from his waist and counted fifteen big coins and thirty small coins.

"Okay, I'll tie it up for you!"

The first order went well, and Gu Sheng felt joy in his heart.

With the first customer, Gu Sheng became more and more acquainted. From time to time, customers stopped to ask, and some thought the price of the leather was too expensive, but Gu Sheng was not in a hurry, and took his time.

Until it was close to sunset, the skins brought in were also sold for seven or eighty-eight.

Wait until tomorrow, it is estimated that they can all be sold.

"Except for Erniu brother's two skins, I should be able to earn more than four taels of silver, which is not bad."

Gu Sheng closed the stall, stretched his waist, and thought silently.

Without the quick fortune of silver fox fur, one can only slowly accumulate wealth, plus Gu Sheng needs to consume a lot of meat for his daily martial arts training, as well as the expenses for exercise cream, four taels of silver is not bad.

He thought in his mind that he would go to the joint where he bought the bow last time when the weather got darker.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the place where I listened to the book last time.

The tea shed was still full of people, and there were sonorous and forceful cadenced voices coming from inside, but Gu Sheng froze in place, the storyteller was not Mr. Zhang whom he saw last time he went to the city.

Instead, it was another Mr. Li.

According to what Gu Erniu said last time, Mr. Zhang has been telling stories here for several years, so it should not change.

"Excuse me, what about the old Mr. Zhang who was here to tell the story?"

Gu Sheng pulled a pedestrian who stopped, and asked apologetically in a low voice.

The pedestrian's expression changed, and he threw off his sleeve impatiently.

"Dead! Died last winter!"

After Gu Sheng became a martial artist, his eyes and ears were clear, and he could clearly see traces of sadness and resentment in the pedestrian's eyes.

obviously.

This old gentleman didn't die from the heavy snow, as for what it is, it goes without saying.

He sighed, and there were slight ripples in his heart.
