Chapter 843: Inquiring for Information
Zhang Tuohai walked over quickly. The door was not closed. The room was dark and there was no light. Therefore, Zhang Tuohai could only see a pair of curious big eyes, and the rest was unclear.
Those eyes were still looking at Zhang Tuohai curiously, but they just leaned back slightly, but did not close the door.
“Yes.”
Zhang Tuohai was delighted when he saw this, and he quickly walked over and said, "Hello, we are travelers, and we got lost when we got here. Can we stay with us for one night? We can pay you some money."
As Zhang Tuohai spoke, he took off a bracelet from his wrist. The bracelet was full of gold beads and was very heavy.
Ever since he came into contact with the civilized world, Zhang Tuohai has been accustomed to carrying some money with him. This gold bead bracelet is one of them. Gold can be regarded as the most widely circulated valuable item. This thing can effectively help him solve a lot of unnecessary troubles. Even after being promoted to a demigod, he still habitually carries some with him. As a result, he used it here.
The man in the room hesitated for a moment when he saw the golden beads being handed to him, but he still pushed them away and said, "Wait until my brother comes back, then you can ask him. My brother has gone to collect firewood, and he will be back soon."
Zhang Tuohai took a glance and saw that the outstretched hand was small and thin, with some frostbite and stains on the surface. It looked like a truly poor person.
"It looks pretty normal from now on."
Zhang Tuohai breathed a sigh of relief. He took out the golden bead with a natural intention of testing the situation. Now it seems that at least the people in this room are normal on the surface. At least with his level of skill, he can't find any loopholes in the details.
After a while, a figure appeared from the foot of the mountain in the distance.
The figure was short, hunched over, and was walking slowly towards us from a distance, dragging a large bundle of firewood.
The figure slowly approached, and when the last rays of the sun were about to disappear, it finally arrived at the entrance of the village.
At this time, the man raised his head and just saw Zhang Tuohai and Lilith standing at the door.
The man's face changed, he threw down the firewood, pulled out an axe from his waist, and ran towards the two men.
The man looked like a teenager, about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing a tattered piece of clothing with patches on top of patches, and the original fabric of the clothes was almost invisible.
The boy had a sallow complexion, a thin body and was extremely skinny. It was obvious at first glance that he had been suffering from long-term malnutrition.
However, his eyes are very bright.
The young man ran up to the two men in a few steps, blocked the wooden door with his body, and held the hatchet tightly in his hand, staring with his eyes wide open and baring his teeth, like a hound ready to attack.
"Who are you? What are you doing in front of my house?!"
Seeing the boy's appearance, for some reason, Zhang Tuohai suddenly thought of Awei. The two men looked completely different, but Zhang Tuohai always felt that they were a little similar.
"Maybe it's the similarities in personality traits ." Zhang Tuohai guessed secretly.
"Don't worry, we are not bad people," Zhang Tuohai said, spreading his hands to indicate that he had no weapons in his hands. "We are just two lost travelers. Seeing that it is getting late, we want to find a shelter nearby to stay for the night. Don't worry, we won't stay for nothing. How about this gold bead as a gift?"
Zhang Tuohai said this as he handed the golden bead to the young man.
When the young man saw the golden beads in Zhang Tuohai's hand, his eyes widened and a look of horror appeared on his face.
He was not just a boy trapped in the mountain village. In order to exchange for necessary daily necessities, he had followed the villagers to the city. He remembered that the thing in the man's hand was an extremely precious item, which only the bigwigs had. He had asked those "knowledgeable" people in the village about it. This thing was extremely valuable. Even if he just cut off a little bit, the salt he could get in exchange would be enough for him to eat for a lifetime!
And the man in front of him actually handed a whole pill to him, and all he asked for was a place to stay for one night.
The feeling of being hit by the pie made the boy feel dizzy.
However, he quickly recovered his composure, glanced hesitantly at the golden bead in Zhang Tuohai's hand, and then pushed it back: "I, I can't accept it."
"Why? Don't you want it? Or is it not enough?" Zhang Tuohai was a little curious.
"My grandfather once told me not to covet things that do not belong to you, otherwise, you will bring disaster upon yourself. You have given me too much. Take it back, I will not accept it."
The boy said firmly.
"Is it because of this? Interesting." Zhang Tuohai felt that this young man was interesting. He could actually refuse a huge amount of wealth . He was definitely not an ordinary person.
If this was an ordinary imaginary world, Zhang Tuohai might even suspect whether the other party was the son of luck.
"The prices aren't equal, are they? Then change one."
Zhang Tuohai looked back and happened to see a young chicken flying through the grass.
whoosh!
The golden bead in Zhang Tuohai's hand shot out directly and pierced the chicken's neck in one fell swoop.
The chick flapped its wings twice and fell to the ground.
Zhang Tuohai walked over, picked up the young chicken, put it in the boy's hand, and said with a smile: "This thing should be okay, right?"
The boy looked at the chick in his hand in astonishment, his mouth wide open, a look of disbelief.
He had no idea how Zhang Tuohai shot down the pheasant.
The other party didn't seem to even move his hands. A golden light flashed, and the chick fell down with its neck broken. The method was very similar to the sorcery in grandpa's stories?
Could it be that the two people in front of me are monsters?
Want to eat yourself?
However, the boy quickly rejected the idea.
If the monster really wanted to eat him, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. It could just do it directly.
Since they are not going to eat him, then what has nothing to do with him. They are just coming in to stay for one night, which is no big deal.
If this chick was taken apart and mixed with bran to eat slowly, it would be enough for him and his sister to eat for a month. Even the feathers could be used to make a blanket for his sister.
He remembered that the rich people in the city liked to make cloaks with beautiful feathers, which must be very warm to wear.
With the blanket, my sister no longer has to sleep on the cold wooden bed.
"Okay, come on in. Remember, it's only one night."
The young man hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded, pushed open the wooden door, and let Zhang Tuohai and Lilith in.
"Thank you very much." Zhang Tuohai's heart was filled with joy. It was good to have found a breakthrough. As long as there was a breakthrough, the rest would be easy.
