On the Seven Towers

In the early morning in Floro Town, it was much quieter than the school. There was no sound of the guards performing exercises, and there were no groups of students going to the cafeteria. A few clear rooster crows woke Li Jia up. He lived in the yard behind the store. Ji Yijun was still sleeping soundly in the same room, snoring softly.

Li Jia got dressed, scooped some well water from the water tank, rinsed her mouth, briefly wiped her face with a towel, and walked out of the house.

Passing through a small patio and coming to the living room connected to the shop, he saw Zhang Hong and soldier Hong Lifeng in another room already having breakfast.

"Morning." Li Jia said.

Hong Lifeng nodded as a greeting. Zhang Hong seemed not to have heard, patted the crumbs on his hands, stood up and walked to the back room.

Li Jia looked at the table. Zhang Hong and the others seemed to be eating very quickly. There were only two fist-sized pieces of black bread left on the plates on the table.

Hong Lifeng said with some embarrassment: "The conditions here are poor, and we two grown men don't know how to start a group, so we just bought some things like this to eat."

After saying that, he also got up and went to the inner room.

Li Jia sat down, picked up a piece of black bread that was comparable to briquettes, and took a bite. He had no memory of the sweet taste of the bread. It was as hard as a charred cake, and it was also mixed with tiny particles of sand and gravel. , Bend’s teeth chattered. After swallowing a small mouthful with difficulty, Li Jia gave up and threw most of the bread back on the plate. This was really not something for humans to eat!

However, when he looked at the plate, he noticed some small white dots on the bottom of the plate. When he took a closer look, he turned out to be white bread crumbs. No wonder the two old boys saw him coming in and quickly stuffed the bread in their hands into their mouths.

This kind of exclusion is boring and low-level.

Li Jia took two pieces of black bread in her hands and returned to the room. Seeing that Ji Yijun was still sleeping soundly, she threw a piece of black bread on his head.

Sure enough, he was a martial arts guy. As soon as the black bread hit Ji Yijun's face, this guy jumped up like a carp, kicked the blanket away, and shouted with his eyes closed, "Whoever hit me, whoever hit me, and pinched me." Light, get out of here."

"Hey, it's daybreak. Breakfast is here for you."

As soon as Ji Yijun heard about breakfast, he woke up with a smile. But when he saw the black bread rolled beside the bed, he suddenly became furious, "These two bastards are clearly bullying us, let's go and argue with them!"

"What are you talking about? A trading post with four people is divided into two groups and they are quarreling. I can't afford to lose this person. Let's go, wash up and let's go to the town. I don't believe we can't buy food."

———————————————————————

A bullock cart passed by, and the fishy smell hit our face. This was the fishermen on the nearby river transporting fresh fish to the town to sell. The smelly blood soaked half of the road greasy; both sides of the main road were already wet. Some farmers put vegetables on the ground to sell. The vegetables were piled on the ground haphazardly, looking like a pile of weeds. The woman in the building began to dry the washed clothes. The clothes were full of patches, which made people feel like they had been washed a little. will become fragments. The children who got up early made noisy noises in the narrow path with their bare buttocks and feet. This town seemed dilapidated and dirty to Li Jia, but the common people of this era, like people of every era, breathed life into the world.

Li Jia was wearing a shirt and trousers, while Ji Yijun was wearing a T-shirt. They were walking on the road out of place. Pedestrians passing by would occasionally stare at them for a while, but most of them were used to it. Only some naughty and curious children would look at them from a distance. They looked at them quietly, arguing with each other whether these weirdos were monsters in the story.

The two of them walked around in a circle with great interest, and then came to the bakery. Most of the black bread was a copper-cent piece of bread here, but there was still white bread for sale.

Ji Yijun picked out seven or eight of the best-looking white breads, then took out a gold coin from his pocket and threw it to the boss. The boss seemed to be frightened and hurriedly picked it up several times before grabbing the gold coin that was bouncing in his palm. gold. The other guests around were stunned when they saw the gold coins. Some people gasped, some stared at the gold coins greedily, and many people whispered to each other.

The boss was stunned for a while at the gold coin in his hand, then resolutely put the gold coin back into Ji Yijun's hand, pointed at the gold coin, and waved repeatedly.

"Put it away quickly." Li Jia quickly confiscated Ji Yijun's gold coins, asked the boss for a price, then took out ten large copper coins from his pocket and gave them to the boss, saying in the Spanish he had just learned: "Bread, basket, everything. Bought.”

The boss carefully handed over a large copper coin and gave Li Jia a few copper dimes. Then he handed him a basket and a basket of bread.

"Why are they all staring at me?" Ji Yijun looked back at the town residents who were pointing and watching them, and asked a little strangely.

Li Jia sneered: "Of course it depends on the rich. If you were in a bakery in Shanghai and saw someone handing over a hundred hundred-yuan bills when checking out, would you think he was a psychopath?"

"Absolutely... Could it be that such a small gold coin is so valuable?" Ji Yijun took out another gold coin and looked at it. It was slightly larger than one yuan, a little thicker, with an eagle carved on it, and the workmanship was quite rough.

"You must have never bought gold or paid attention to gold prices, right?" Li Jia smiled.

"That's not true."

"Although I don't know what the gold and silver reserves in this world are, judging from the current value of gold and silver coins, the rarity should be similar to that on Earth. This gold coin weighs about thirty grams. When we traveled over, one gram of gold was about two hundred It’s more than seventy yuan, you can do the math yourself,” Li Jia said with a smile.

"You mean... I just gave the boss 8,000 yuan to buy bread?" Ji Yijun's eyes widened.

"That's right, and the way you throw the gold coins over is almost the same as paying one yuan."

"My dear... I didn't expect that one day I, Ji Yijun, would become a master. No wonder there are so many big girls and little wives around me. Their eyes were straight when they looked at me." Ji Yijun said smugly, "I originally thought that the logistics team would give us five A gold coin and ten silver coins for living expenses are really stingy. I didn’t expect the treatment to be so good! Please help me calculate how much the silver coins are worth.”

"Different gold and silver coins have different qualities, but taking the gold ax coins of the Kingdom of Iberia as an example, one gold ax coin is worth about twelve silver gun coins and one thousand two hundred copper shield coins, which is what I The large copper coin you just paid is worth 12,000 copper dimes. But what you just gave him was unearthed by our school from the Earl's family's treasure house. The golden dragon coin from the ancient Black Dragon Empire is larger than the golden ax and has a lower quality. Well, it’s worth at least sixteen silver gun coins.”

Ji Yijun counted on his fingers for a long time and suddenly shouted: "Wow! In other words, our living expenses are more than 40,000 yuan?! It's paid, it's paid. Only now do I know that expatriate work is so profitable! In school Those people don't even have wages now and are working for nothing. If Ye Zi and the others knew about my uncle's deeds of buying bread with eight thousand yuan, they would definitely be jealous to death. "

"What's this? You don't know, right? Chen Hansheng and the others brought this amount with them to Suero this time." Li Jia stretched out five fingers and turned them forward and backward.

"A thousand gold coins?! Oh my god, I told you earlier that I would follow Xiao Chen. If Wang Jiyuan hadn't let him go, I would be riding to Su City with eight million in my pocket!"

When Ji Yijun and Li Jia were walking through a small alley, they suddenly found that the road ahead was blocked by people. The people blocking the road were young people in their twenties, most of whom were dressed in rags and had their hands on their hands. He was holding some sticks and stones in his hand, and looking back, he saw a few people blocking the retreat. The leader, a blue-haired young man, held a small dagger in his hand. He took two steps forward nervously and said sternly: "Hurry up and hand over the gold coins you have, and I will spare your lives, otherwise I will beat you to death!"

The words were spoken in Spanish, and Li Jia basically understood them. Ji Yijun, who didn't understand, also understood what the other party wanted to do. Although he didn't know these people, he smelled a familiar smell from them: bastards.

Seeing the two groups of people slowly approaching, Li Jia was frightened and said nervously: "There are too many of them. The leader said that we will not kill them if we pay them. How about we hand over a gold coin to deal with them first?"

"Are you mistaken? You don't believe what these little hooligans say! These people won't stop until they take away every penny you have. Besides, how do you know they won't kill people and silence them?"

"Then, what should we do?"

"Let's fight. These people are not in my eyes yet."

"What about me?"

"I'll protect you! What are you afraid of? If there's a fight and you can't take care of me, just hide and hide."

Just when Ji Yijun put down the basket and was about to take action, a voice suddenly came from the entrance of the alley: "Enrique, you guy, stop it! They are the magician's people, do you want to kill everyone?"

The blue-haired young man at the head glanced at the visitor, who was a young man with red hair. He snorted coldly and said: "Garcia, your old man, Ciro, is working as a dog for these outsiders, and you are here too. As expected, they all came from the same nest.”

"You dare to scold my father?" Garcia is an impulsive guy. When he heard Enrique's rude words, he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and rushed towards him.

But at this time, Ji Yijun took the opportunity to take action. Enrique was talking to Garcia. Unexpectedly, Ji Yijun bounced over like a cannonball. He chopped off his dagger with one hand and held the dagger in his hand with the other hand. , and put it on his neck.

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect this outsider to move so quickly. Enrique was also sweating coldly. When he turned around to talk to Garcia, he was at least seven or eight steps away from Ji Yijun. Unexpectedly, he became a hostage due to an oversight.

"Get out of the way, I'm leaving." Ji Yijun said in half-baked Spanish. He carried Enrique and walked towards the entrance of the alley. The other young people were worried about Enrique's safety and were intimidated by his abilities, so they had to make way for the three of them to walk in the direction of Garcia. .

When they walked out of the encirclement, Ji Yijun pointed at Li Jia and said to Garcia: "You are good! Protect him." Then, he pushed Enrique back and let his group of young people go out.

He took two steps forward, threw the dagger on the ground with disdain, looked around at the dozen or so young people in front of him, grinned evilly and said: "Without the burden, now you can let go and move around."

Five minutes later,

People fell to the ground in the alley, all screaming like ghosts and wolves. Ji Yijun, who was unharmed, looked down at them, took out a silver coin from his pocket, and threw it in front of Enrique, who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up.

"I am happy today, so I will reward you with medical expenses."

Then he turned around and put his arms around Li Jia and Garcia, "That's great, let's go buy some vegetables and fish, and I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Let's have a big meal and embarrass those guys who feed me black bread."
