Gu Shiyi smiled and nodded,

"How much is this knife?"

The blacksmith smiled and gestured with his fingers.

"One hundred taels!"

"what?"

Gu Shi glared at him,

"One hundred taels, why don't you go and grab it?"

One hundred taels of silver! You can use your words at every turn. One hundred taels of silver is enough for me to catch many evil spirits!

That's a risk with one's life!

The blacksmith was not angry and said with a smile,

"Made from ninety-nine pounds of fine iron, the product produced by me, Mr. Jia, must be of the highest quality. Look at this blade!"

Gu Shiyi decisively put down the knife in his hand.

“Buy something cheap and heavy!”

Blacksmith Lao Jia thought for a moment and pointed to the corner.

"That cheap knife was the last knife that my father made before he died a few years ago. It is heavy enough, but maybe in his last few years as an old man, his strength and firepower were weak, so he made it like this. It’s a knife, the style is really weird... Please take a look for yourself, sir!"

Gu Shiyi went over to take a look and saw that this knife was similar in style to a hatchet. It could be called a hatchet. It was too heavy for ordinary people to use. It had been stored for a long time and was covered with dust. Gu Shiyi held it in his hand and weighed it, and found that the weight was quite suitable. He thought to himself,

"Anyway, it's for body training. What's important is practicing moves. Does it matter whether the sword is good or not?"

So he asked,

"How much silver?"

Lao Jia thought for a while and stretched out a finger. Gu Shiyi's eyes widened.

"This also costs one hundred taels of silver?"

"No, ten taels of silver!"

Ten taels of silver, this price is quite acceptable!

However, Gu Shiyi was still dissatisfied, so he bargained with him for a while, successfully negotiated eight taels of silver, and then left with the hatchet.

Lao Jia smiled and sent Gu Shiyi out. After they were gone, he said to himself,

"I didn't know why my father was crazy at first. I made such a knife and kept it in the shop for so many years. I thought I couldn't sell it. I didn't expect that a fool would actually buy it!"

If my father hears this, he will definitely jump out of the grave and slap his big mouth.

"Idiot, I got the Heavenly Black Iron from a customer back then and kept some of it for myself. Do you think the Heavenly Black Iron is so easy to forge? I have done my best to make it like this. You... You have eyes for gold and jade, but you actually sold it for only ten taels of silver. You are a prodigal! Just wait... I will look for you in the middle of the night!"

Gu Shiyi naturally didn't know that Lao Jia Blacksmith had returned to her childhood for several nights in a row and was beaten several times by her father in her dream. The day after she bought the hatchet, she set off with the third lady of the Wang family.

Because Wang Yuanwai was eager to marry a daughter, the dowry and other items were prepared and ready-made. Although he thought his daughter had ruined his reputation, he still felt sorry for her own flesh and blood, so he added another 30% of the dowry, so the dowry never came to an end. When it was carried out from Yue'an Hall, it was also a huge pile of red makeup.

Gu Shiyi was arranged to sit in the carriage behind the third lady. The third lady was married by one of her cousins. On the day of the wedding, the bride burst into tears and said goodbye to her parents in tears. I won’t talk about the scene.

Gu Shiyi was sitting in the carriage, but felt that his nose was slightly sore. Li Yaner was lying on the window watching, thinking of the only wedding in her life, and thinking of her parents in that world, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

envy!

She is so envious!

Unlike Gu Shiyi who envied Miss Wang's ability to get married, she envied Miss Third for having parents who loved her. At least when she got married far away, her parents were really worried about her and sad about the separation!

And she has never received even a little bit of love from her closest relatives! The red fox also felt sad when he saw it.

"Hey...my dead husband, we have only been married for a month!"

Although the orcs don't pay attention to this, getting married is the same!

It hasn’t been a month and she’s still a bride!

This depreciation is too fast, and I will become a widow in a month!

The three female creatures were just lying on the window and watching eagerly, each with their own thoughts. At this time, the old monk appeared in the corner of the carriage, sat cross-legged and said,

"Amitabha! Three donors, worldly life is difficult, everything is suffering, why not come to my Buddhist door..."

"Shut up!"

The three of them turned around and shouted in unison.

What do you know, an old monk? Just go and recite your Buddhist scriptures honestly!

The wedding convoy staggered onto the road. It first went to Si Ma City to take an inland boat, and then turned into Wucai River to Wansha Prefecture. It was the same route as when Gu Shiyi came.

They first went to Si Ma City by land. Due to the slow speed of the convoy, it would take them a month to walk overland. Gu Shiyi was not in a hurry. He could eat and drink with the convoy. Everyone in front of him and behind him would call him Little Master Gu. What's wrong?

And since the third lady of the Wang family was rescued by Gu Shiyi, she became a little closer to Gu Shiyi. When the carriage stopped to rest, she often invited Gu Shiyi to come over and talk.

Although Gu Shiyi pretends to be a man to the outside world, he is a cultivator after all. Everyone has no objection to them being alone together. Gu Shiyi just thinks that the third lady is a married person and her reputation cannot be ruined, so he often invites the third lady. The young lady's cousin and Mr. Wang talked together, and the three of them were often together. Sometimes they heard Gu Shiyi talk about his experiences traveling in the world, and Mr. Wang talked about his stories when he was studying. Only Miss Wang San was a boudoir girl. I was bored in the boudoir and had nothing to talk about. However, when I talked about some of the shortcomings between my parents that I heard by chance, the two of them also listened with a smile to save face. In this way, the three of them got along well with each other, and they didn't feel uncomfortable even after a long time. Little Master Gu, one is called Brother Eleven and the other is Brother Eleven. Gu Eleven is called Brother Wang and Third Sister, which is very affectionate.

In this way, it was a safe journey to Si Ma City. After arriving at the inn that had been booked earlier, the eldest brother of the Wang family went to the branch of Bishui Gate in Si Ma City to negotiate about taking a boat.

Gu Shiyi followed Miss Third as she walked around Si Ma City. Rich ladies from all over the world cannot go shopping without shopping. The same goes for Miss Wang San. She didn’t want to marry far away, but her parents were so cruel that they wanted to take her away. Marrying someone she had never met before, she cried several times on the wedding day. Although she felt better later, she was still very depressed.

The best way for a woman to relieve her depression is to go shopping. Miss Wang San took the generous dowry given by her parents and swept through the streets of Si Ma City. Gu Shiyi, the girls and the guards behind her were all human beings. No one's hands are empty.

Gu Shiyi was holding five boxes of pastries in his left hand and three pieces of exquisite brocade in his right hand. He was secretly envious.

"It's good to be the eldest lady. The man has been determined since he was a child, and he is never short of money!"

Of course she could do it, but just thinking about it, she never regretted leaving the Gu family!

When they returned to the inn, the eldest brother of the Wang family had finished his work. When he saw the two of them coming back, he said to them,

"The price has been negotiated and we can set off tomorrow!"

The Wang family had money, so they were able to charter an entire ship. The next day they packed up and boarded the ship. After boarding, the voyage was very smooth. Gu Shiyi ate and drank with the eldest brother and the third lady of the Wang family during the day. Talking and laughing, he practiced his three-axe in the cabin at night, and returned to his old business of telling fortunes for everyone on the ship. But what people didn't expect was that the old monk was also proficient in this skill, so Gu Shiyi was at the front. , Li Yaner and the old monk were working at the back, and everyone on the ship was full of praise for the skills of this little master Gu.

And now the red fox has become the ship's favorite, staying out of the cabin for nothing, only hanging out in the cabins of the guards, girls, and women. Every day, it comes back with a round belly. It especially likes to visit the girls during the day. In the room, I went to the guards' cabin at night. When I came back, I talked to Gu Shiyi about the young and strong guards. All of them were from the training family, with their eight-pack abs and their bronze complexions. , those muscular muscles, it can even walk in the bathroom, it is really a feast for the eyes, it makes Gu Shiyi shed tears all over the floor, he is extremely jealous of the red fox, but the red fox has a simple mind, obviously I told myself not to offend my sponsor’s dad, but I still want to speak out and stimulate my sponsor’s dad when there is nothing wrong.

E.g,

"It's all in vain if you look at it, and you can't touch it!"

"What are you talking about? If you talk too much, won't you be able to sleep at night?"

"You should wait until you find a man later. By the way... You are already thirty this year, can you still find a man?"

The red fox has a mean mouth, and Shi Dang teased Gu Shiyi so much that he wanted to slap him. If Li Yaner hadn't stopped him, he would have turned into a scarf and wrapped it around Gu Shiyi's neck!

Just when Gu Shiyi thought that such days would last until Miss Wang's family arrived at her husband's house, their ship arrived at Ganquan City in Wansha Prefecture.

This Ganquan City is a very famous city in Wansha Prefecture. As the name of Wansha Prefecture suggests, 60% of the land in the prefecture is vast desert, and 80% of the population in the prefecture is concentrated in 40% of the land. These 40% of the land are areas with water sources and oases.

And this Ganquan City is the most famous one. There are two springs in this city, one large and one small. The large spring is five feet wide, and there is a steady stream of clear springs flowing out all year round to form a small lake, which is the source of water for all the people in the city. Water is used for drinking and drinking, and the small spring is about one foot in diameter. The clear water flowing out of it has a sweet taste. Only the dignitaries and cultivators in the city can drink it.

These two springs have been flowing day and night for thousands of years, nurturing this famous city among thousands of sands.

Gu Shiyi had never been here before, so as soon as the boat arrived at the pier, she actively followed the third lady of the Wang family off the boat and wandered around. Although Ganquan City is located in the heart of the desert, there are small rivers all over the city, all of which lead to the water of the big spring. Passing in front of every house, city residents can get water for drinking, and there is another river dedicated to collecting sewage and discharging it into the desert outside the city.

Therefore, after Gu Shiyi and Miss Wang San entered the city, they saw rivers crisscrossing the river. Along the river, you could go down steps to get water. After walking three to five hundred steps, there was a stone bridge across the river. It was clear that this was a desert. It’s just a water town in the south of the Yangtze River!
