Chapter 12 Hostility
Jiang Li didn't know if this place was ancient, but judging from the style, it didn't seem to be much different from the ancient times in his own world.

After looking at some of the jewelry on the stall, she felt that the workmanship was not very detailed, but the styles were pretty good.

A man selling candied haws on a stick passed by, and she planned to buy one to eat. After asking, he couldn't find a single penny of silver, so she had to give up.

After thinking about it, she decided to go to the cloth store.Just because she traveled through time does not mean that her aunt will stay in her original world.She always buys two menstrual belts to keep.

The cloth shop was rich and found Jiang Li's penny.So after going out, she immediately went to buy candied haws.

Further on, she came to a grocery store.Brown sugar is called black sugar in this world. Jiang Li tasted it and found that the sweetness was very poor. It tasted similar to the brown sugar he had eaten before.

"How to sell this candy?"

"If you're celebrating Chinese New Year, it's cheaper for you, 25 cents per catty."

"What about white sugar?"

"It's much more expensive, 150 yuan per pound."

"It's so expensive."

Jiang Li couldn't help but sigh.

She looked and saw no trace of sugar in the grocery store.

"Where is the sugar? Can I see it?"

"can."

With that said, the waiter walked to the back and took out a box.After the box was opened, there was some white sugar inside, which looked like fine sand.

Just as Jiang Li was about to reach out and dip a bit to taste, the waiter closed the box and took it back.

"Sir, you can't try this. The price is too high."

"Oh, I'm sorry, we've never seen sugar over there before."

"Of course, this can be a rare commodity. Only my home in Sifang City has twenty kilograms, and other families only have two or three kilograms."

The waiter said proudly.

The price of sugar in this world is higher than Jiang Li imagined, but Jiang Li doesn't intend to buy too little.On the one hand, she needed to be prepared, and on the other hand, there was something she needed to try.She used the dozens of pennies she had just found to buy brown sugar.

After walking out of the grocery store, Jiang Li thought about where he wanted to go.Suddenly, blue words appeared in front of her eyes again.

"It has been detected that someone nearby is hostile to the host."

Seeing this, Jiang Li became alert.She was worried that someone from the government was catching the bandits.Looking around, she didn't see anything strange.

At this time, the words in front of me changed again.

"Would you like to select a mark?"

"mark."

Jiang Li thought in his heart, and then the blue words appeared again.

"The host level is low and can only mark one person"

As soon as this line appeared, Jiang Li was bumped into by someone who suddenly rushed out.The man's force was not strong and he did not knock Jiang Li down.

"sorry."

The man said something and left quickly.Jiang Li hadn't come to his senses yet. When he turned around, all he saw was the crowd, as if what just happened didn't happen.

Except for a blue scissor pointing in one direction.

Is this hostility?Sure enough, there is a bug.

The last time this line appeared was when the second master ambushed him. At that time, they were just testing and not hostile.

So this prompt is probably just a bug.

Jiang Li was not injured, so she didn't care about it.If the system was more reliable, maybe she would catch up to see what happened.

She continued shopping and arrived at the Four Treasures of the Study Store.

If possible, she would still like to teach her brothers on the mountain how to read.After all, a military advisor still has to look like a military advisor, and he cannot be idle at ordinary times.

After walking in, the waiter greeted Jiang Li warmly.

"What do you want to see, sir?"

"Do you have books here that teach people how to read?"

"Of course there are. Although small shops are not as good as those big bookstores, there are always people who can make copies for enlightenment."

With that said, the waiter turned around and took a few books and put them on the table.Jiang Li picked it up and looked at it.

The characters in this world looked like traditional Chinese characters, and Jiang Li could barely recognize them.She read these books, and their titles were nothing more than "Three Character Classic" and "Collected Poems".

Seeing this, she smiled.

After coming here, she found that many things were the same as the world she came from. Now there is even the "Three Character Classic".

It's as if this world is afraid that you can't fit in.Is it because I traveled here that this world is so suitable, or is it because it is such a world that I allowed myself to travel here?

She can't figure it out,
"How much does this book cost?"

"A book of five hundred texts."

After hearing this, Jiang Li almost screamed.

The price of one book can already buy several kilograms of grain.No wonder the poor are not qualified to study.

Jiang Li looked at a few books and shook his head.

Then, she asked the waiter again.

“For such an expensive thing, there’s nothing wrong with the quality, right?”

"As you said, although our store is not big, the quality of the products is not low. Look at the paper and the printing. There is not a single typo."

"Then let me see."

"Look."

Jiang Li said and opened a book.

The waiter originally planned to wait for Jiang Li to turn two pages before answering and continue to praise his book. Who knew that Jiang Li just flipped through page after page, taking his time.

But the waiter was worried.

"Guest officer, this is you?"

"What's wrong? I'm afraid there are mistakes in the book, so I can't read it more carefully?"

"...Then take a look."

The waiter left Jiang Li alone and went to greet other customers.It's his professional ethics that he didn't scold him.

Jiang Li finished reading a book over a cup of tea.

The waiter came over again and asked Jiang Li.

"Sir, how do you feel about our book? There's nothing wrong with it... Why are you reading another book?"

"That one is correct. Let me take a look at this one."

Jiang Li said it confidently.

What she needs is not to know what is in the book. She can make up these things at any time. She just needs to know the difference between the words in this world and the words in her original world, and which words correspond to each other.

Coupled with Jiang Li's memory from years of endorsements, this won't take a long time.

In two quarters of an hour, Jiang Li read through all the basic books and gained an understanding of the words in this world.

If there was anything strange, she found that these poetry collections contained famous poems from various dynasties, from the Three Kingdoms to the Republic of China.

However, her focus was still on literacy and she didn't have much energy to think about it.

Jiang Li stretched and closed the book.

The waiter came over again.

"Sir, have you finished reading?"

"Ah."

"Then what do you want to buy?"

"...can I not buy it?"

After Jiang Li said this, he saw the waiter's expression change.She felt that it was not easy for others, so she would just buy something casually.

"Then I'll... which one is the cheapest? I'll buy it..."

Jiang Li said, reaching out to touch the money bag, only to find that the money bag was gone.

Only then did she remember the person who hit her, and then she remembered the hostility the system said.

Okay, someone stole something from a bandit?
