Starting from Orion, kill a Martial Saint

Chapter 13 Black Market
The next day, early in the morning.

Wei Zheng came to the yard early, glanced at the towering Xiaozhoushan Mountain in the distance, and felt a chill in his heart.

Bai Ling'er helped straighten Wei Zheng's clothes, and then touched Wei Zheng's chest to make sure that the Orion Order sewn into him last night was still in his clothes, and then he felt a little relieved.

"You have to come back early." Bai Ling'er's voice was low.

After what happened yesterday, she really didn't want her man to leave her sight.

"Don't worry, I just went to the city to buy some ingredients to prepare for the winter."

Wei Zheng smiled softly and touched Bai Ling'er's head.

After telling her not to go out alone, and to go out to fetch water, she must go with Aunt Wang. Then, under Bai Ling'er's reluctant eyes, she carried the sack and walked along the official road towards the county seat. .

It doesn't matter if you don't go.

The only iron-tipped arrow was consumed yesterday.

How could he do it if he had no means of self-defense?

Before noon, Wei Zheng arrived at the fur shop, and under the astonished gaze of shopkeeper Zhang, he took out the wolf's paw whose blood had already solidified.

There seems to be a thick wolf tendon missing from the wolf's claws.

Last night, Wei Zheng specially tore off one of the thickest wolf tendons and secretly placed it at home.

A wolf's claw can be exchanged for a tael of silver.

It is enough for him to hunt more than 1000 hares.

However, these two taels of silver soon turned into a few scattered pieces of silver, which were replaced by five iron-tipped bows and arrows.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Zheng didn't stay too long. Following the memory in his mind, he came to the black market in the county.

The black market is no mystery.

Most of them were hunters without hunting orders, carrying the wild animals they had captured, and asking questions from stall to stall. Most of the stall owners who purchased wild animals also tried their best to lower the prices.

Wild animals that can be sold for a lot of money in the ordinary market can even be sold for as low as a dozen copper coins in this black market.

There is no way, these "wild hunters" do not have the Orion Order and are not qualified to sell goods in the shops in the city.

Most of those collectors are sturdy hunters. They collect the goods on the black market and go to shops in the city to sell them with the Orion Order. Sometimes when the Chinese New Year is approaching and business is good, they can sell them in one day. Make a big difference in price.

Wei Zheng was naturally greedy for such a profitable business.

But for him now, he can only think about it.

After so many years, the black market has long been saturated with collectors, and they all know each other. Many of them are gang members in the city. If Wei Zheng, a poor boy with no connections, wants to get a piece of the pie, I'm afraid. The next day, this group of delivery men will unite to punish them.

It is not difficult to survive in this world.

But if you want to live with dignity and dignity, it is difficult.

Wei Zheng observed for a long time, and after confirming that most of the black market was occupied by hunters, he found a somewhat empty wild goods stall.

The owner of the stall was a chubby middle-aged man. Seeing Wei Zheng dressed as a hunter but with empty hands, his slender eyes lit up instantly.

"Brother, here you go, what would you like?"

The fat man rubbed his hands, his face full of anticipation.

"Do you want to collect orders from Orion?"

Wei Zheng spoke in a low voice.

"Speak here, little brother." Hearing this, the fat man's face became solemn, and he pulled Wei Zheng to a deserted alley.

"True? If I try to trick me with a false order, I won't be able to get out of this city." The fat man narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up and down at Wei Zheng in front of him, with a murderous look on his face.

"What do you think?" Wei Zheng took out the Orion Order from his clothes.He handed it to the fat man in front of him.The fat man took the Orion Order and looked it up and down. After confirming that the official seal was correct, he returned to his smiling expression.

"Yes, it's genuine. The current market price is nine taels of silver a piece. Do you want to sell it?"

"Add five more pounds of sorghum rice." Wei Zheng took the Orion order back from the fat man's hand.

"Otherwise we won't sell it."

The fat man was stunned for a moment, then returned to his smiling look. "Brother is a happy person, so I'm not ambiguous. It's just five kilograms of sorghum rice. I'll give it to you."

"Brother, wait a minute, I'll get the money first."

With that said, the fat man hurriedly opened the door of the hut next to him. When he came out again, he had nine greasy silver cakes and a small dark brown cloth bag in his hand.

Wei Zheng made a brief inventory and after confirming that the number was correct, he put it directly into his pocket, carried the bag, and walked out of the alley with the fat man.

After getting an Orion Order, he could sell it for 20 taels of silver. Naturally, the fat man was in a good mood.

On the way out of the alley, Fatty kept talking to Wei Zheng about things, ranging from homely things to this bullshit world.

After the deal was concluded, Wei Zheng seemed to talk more. The two of them walked and chatted.

It wasn't until Wei Zheng's figure disappeared on the path leading out of the black market that the fat man wiped away the smile on his face and walked quickly back to the hut where he had just withdrawn the money.

In the hut, several naughty-looking men were reclining on the earthen bed boredly, and on the willow table placed on the earthen bed, there were several long knives and iron rods lying quietly with a faint cold light.

"The trick has come out." The fat man looked proud, picked up the pipe in his hand, took a puff, and spoke leisurely in the hazy smoke.

"That boy is outside the city, Xiaotang Village. From the city back to the village, just take that road. It's still the same old rules. I don't care how much you take, I only want six taels of silver."

"Hey, don't worry! It's not like the brothers have been working for a day or two, don't you think so?"

On the bed, a bald man with a hooked nose was lying on the bed smoking a copper pipe. He exhaled turbid smoke, slapped the pipe on the table, turned up with a groan, and showed his arms to the fat man standing at the door. muscles.

"Look, these muscles can beat that little bastard to death!"

"Stop fucking bragging!" The fat man looked unhappy. He grabbed the tattered clothes hanging on the wall and threw them on the bald face.

"If you keep fucking around, people will run away!"

"Then go to his village and deal with him. I've been to that shabby village, and they're all bullshit. They're so cowardly!" The bald head chuckled, put on his clothes, grabbed the weapons on the table, and walked out with a yawn. went.

The other two rogues in the room also got dressed, each found a weapon on the table, and followed the bald head out the door.

The three people talked and laughed all the way out of the black market's exit. After a brief discussion, they separated.

The bald man held a wooden stick covered with rusty iron nails, hummed a tune, and walked along the path toward the outside of the city.

The other two people climbed up the slopes on both sides of the path, one on the left and the other on the right. After a while, they both disappeared.

The bald man's footsteps were very fast, and not long after, he caught up with Wei Zheng at the end of the path, who was holding the silver in his arms and hurried on.

"Hey, that guy in front of you!"

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of the bald man's mouth, and he froze in place while waving the wooden stick in his hand.

In front of Wei Zheng, at some point, two strong men were already waiting, blocking Wei Zheng's path.

"Brothers, what's the matter?"

Wei Zheng stopped and turned around quietly, looking at the man behind him who was waving a wooden stick.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Baldhead spat on the ground.

"Everyone saw it just now. Put down the money in your pocket and get out of here. I can spare your life!"
