EBE Chapter 128 Swords, Spears, and Halberds
Chapter 128 Swords, Spears, and Halberds
Xia Shengsheng took three or four baths with the wound on his body before he could wash away the smell.
But when Qiqi was applying medicine to Xia Shengsheng, she still looked disgusted.
"Do you have any sympathy? I'm in this state, and you still despise me?
Go away, I'll do it myself!"
Except for some wounds on the exposed skin on Xia Shengsheng's face, neck, and arms, the rest of her body was fine, after all, there was a layer of clothes between them.
Qiqi knew that he was in the wrong, but he really couldn't get over the psychological barrier. The thought of Xia Shengsheng swallowing a giant python made him feel sick.
However, Xia Shengsheng did not suffer any loss from this incident.
The baby-shaped ginseng and the giant python's gallbladder were both sold to Qiqi.
According to Qiqi's identification, the ginseng is more than 1800 years old, and this huge python must have lived for hundreds of years. If it had not met Xia Shengsheng this time, it would have become a spirit. Its snake gall is extremely precious.
Qiqi offered two million, but Xia Shengsheng didn't want to sell it to Qiqi. After all, the money he got from selling it to Qiqi was not enough to support her current life.
Not everything can be bought in this mall.
Xia Shengsheng has saved more than 80,000 yuan in the shopping mall over the past few months.
If we just deal with the food and drink problems in a disaster year, it should be enough if we save a little.
Besides, there is still some time before the disaster year, and the amount will continue to increase.
There is no point in saving too many words now.
Therefore, Xia Shengsheng wanted to take these two things to the era where she lives now and sell them. Even if she didn't use the money to buy anything for the time being, she could leave it to her children as capital for survival in the future.
"Sister Shengsheng, I'm not cheating you this time! The price I'm giving you is the price on the black market, otherwise I can't give you such a high price.
Why, why don’t you sell it to me?
I really didn’t take any kickbacks this time, the price was really the highest.”
What Qiqi said is true.
Although he always took kickbacks whenever he bought or sold something to Xia Shengsheng, and his bids were not honest.
But this time, he really didn't hide any selfish motives.
One reason was to thank Xia Shengsheng for encouraging him when he was heartbroken.
The second reason was that Xia Shengsheng had obtained these two precious medicinal herbs with great difficulty, and he almost died in the belly of the giant python.
The third reason was that the person he was dating before cheated him out of his last savings and disappeared.
From then on, no one called him "baby" every day or asked him to buy bags for them.
He now has so much money saved, but suddenly he has no place to spend it.
Therefore, people are not as enthusiastic about making money or taking risks to get kickbacks as before.
“It’s really not about whether you take kickbacks or not.
The main thing is that I can’t take out your money. What’s the point of me depositing millions with you?
It would be better to return to the world where I live now. The money from the sale will be useful for buying real estate or land in the future, don’t you think? "
Qiqi glanced around with a mysterious look on her face, then moved closer to Xia Shengsheng and spoke in a very weak voice.
“Let me tell you a secret. It would be useful for you to save more money now. Don’t you foresee that there will be a drought in the world you live in?
The strong prey on the weak. Don’t you need some weapons to decorate your village?
And! Your dream has not yet been completed.
There may be more wars later, and if that happens, weapons will be very important to you.
What can you buy with the more than 8 yuan you have saved now?
So, you really sold this thing to me.
Otherwise, you won’t even have anywhere to cry.”
arms?
"What? Can't we bring modern things into ancient times? Weapons? Can you sell me a few Aks? Or nuclear weapons?"
Xia Shengsheng absolutely didn't believe that Qiqi could let her take these modern weapons to ancient times.
Doesn't this disrupt the balance of the world?
"Cough cough...
You think too highly of it. The weapons I'm talking about are swords, spears, swords and halberds. Isn't there a shop selling ancient costume props on the fourth floor?
What am I...
I made the wrong choice when I was stocking the goods. I originally wanted to stock a batch of props that wouldn't hurt anyone, but I didn't expect that all they stocked were real stuff.
It’s difficult to sell it now.”
The more Qiqi spoke, the more nervous she became, and her voice became smaller.
Xia Shengsheng said so! You really can't believe everything Qiqi said. Who is so foolish? You'd be a fool to believe his lies.
“Oh, you put the wrong goods on and couldn’t sell them, so you come to cheat me?
Even if I really need it in the future, why should I buy it from you?
It’s not something amazing, like we couldn’t buy it in our time.”
Just as Xia Shengsheng was about to leave, he was stopped by Qiqi.
"If you want to buy one or two weapons, you might be able to buy them, but if you want to buy weapons in large quantities, who will make them for you?
Won't the court investigate you? Don't think things are too simple. Even if you have money, you can't necessarily buy everything.
So, I'm not totally useless here, right?"
Xia Shengsheng had never thought about this before.
Qiqi is right. In ancient times, there were restrictions on buying weapons and other things.
Just like in the 21st century, you want to buy a gun.
If a natural disaster occurs in the future, it will definitely cause riots, refugees, and bandits, which are all disasters that need to be dealt with.
Then weapons are indispensable.
So, after some consideration, Xia Shengsheng sold the ginseng to Qiqi for a total of 88.
He took out the snake gall and prepared to ask Doctor Zhao if he wanted it.
Doctor Zhao likes these things the most.
Doctor Zhao has always been fond of precious medicinal herbs.
Xia Shengsheng once accidentally heard Doctor Zhao say that his most precious thing was a ginseng that was tens of thousands of years old. So Xia Shengsheng's thousand-year-old ginseng was not so precious to him.
The gallbladder of snakes that are hundreds of years old is rarer than ginseng.
"Oh, by the way, I'll take a few ingots of gold and make some gold leaves later."
"Okay! I'll open the door for Sister Shengsheng."
All of Xia Shengsheng's valuables are kept with Qiqi.
The original small locker has long been unable to accommodate all the space.
It would be troublesome to open more than one.
Qiqi directly converted the shopping mall’s mother and baby room into a storage room.
It was rented to Xia Shengsheng at an annual rent of 2 yuan.
If you calculate it this way, Xia Shengsheng's savings of more than 8 yuan is really not enough for anything.
When Xia Shengsheng came out from Qiqi's place, he was holding the precious snake gall in his arms.
Then look at the corpse of the python lying in front of you.
I couldn't help but shudder.
I felt goosebumps all over my body.
He quickly left this bloody and gloomy place.
After getting down the mountain, I didn't rush home, but went directly to Doctor Zhao.
Anyway, she had already washed and changed her clothes. She bought the clothes from Qiqi, the same shop that sold ancient costume props.
The clothes of an ordinary peasant woman were made of good materials, but the price was also very expensive. Xia Shengsheng spent two thousand dollars on it.
If her clothes hadn't been corroded and tattered and smelled really bad, she wouldn't have spent such a high price to buy such a set of clothes.
It’s not that I’m short of money, I just feel it’s not cost-effective.
