  Chapter 236 235. The value of salamander meat

   The day agreed with the caravan has not yet come, and the gray rock iguana still needs to be raised in the village for a while.

  The edge of the Beigou Grassland is full of sea buckthorn grass, which can be used to feed the limestone iguana, so there is no worry that the limestone iguana will starve to death.

  Grey Rock Iguanas can wait for the caravan to buy them, but Suldak's salamander meat cannot wait. The heat of September is still hot, if you store it for a day or two longer, the salamander meat will turn into a pile of stinky meat.

  When the old village head came to find Suldak at night, Suldak was taking a bath in a big wooden barrel.

The water temperature was slightly hot, and Suldak was half lying in the wooden barrel with his eyes closed, feeling the growing power of the holy light in his body. The twenty or so nodes in his body that were originally lit up by the holy breath, after fighting the salamander , has now extended to thirty nodes, and there are vague thin lines of energy between those nodes, as if weaving a very chaotic net in the body.

  There is no wooden door in the bathroom, so the old village head moved a wooden stool and sat at the door with his back to Suldak, which made him feel more comfortable.

   "Give it to the salamander meat in the village, or sell it in Hailansa City!"

  The old village chief held a walnut pipe in his hand, and smoked it 'clack clack'.

   "Well, it's up to you to decide."

   After speaking, Suldak sank his head into the bathtub, spit out a few bubbles in the water, and then got out again, wiping the water on his face.

  The old village head paused for a moment before saying, "I want to invite you to visit Hailansa City..."

  Suldak finally realized that even if the old village chief decided to sell the salamander meat, it would not be possible without his own help.

Because there is only one ancient Bolai horse in the village, and it is currently tied to a stone roller in the yard. If you walk from Wall Village to Hailansa City on foot, you will have to walk for at least three days. In Lansa City, the salamander meat might also deteriorate. If you ride a horse, it will only take a day at most. If you rush to Hailansa overnight, you can probably arrive tomorrow morning.

  Suldak let out a long breath, and said to Village Chief Brett, "No problem. After selling these salamander meat, do you need to bring something back?"

Seeing that Suldak agreed almost without thinking, the old village chief felt much more relaxed. Holding the pipe in his hand, he took out some iron tools from his waist pocket and said to Suldak: "If you can, you can exchange all the money you sell salamander meat for these..."

Suldak looked at the iron parts brought out by the old village head, which turned out to be iron hinges for doors and windows, iron door bolts and some large and small iron nails, and asked in surprise: "Can you replace all these things?" ?Okay, I will go to the blacksmith shop to buy these, I will make some preparations, and I will leave tonight, and I will arrive in Hailansa tomorrow morning, and if I am lucky, I may be able to catch the morning market in Hailansa City."

   As he spoke, Suldak stepped out of the barrel, changed into a clean linen shirt next to the wooden shelf, and put on the set of monster leather armor on his body.

His body was covered with burn scars, which had been soaked in hot water and turned flesh pink. He looked hideous and terrifying. These scars covered his robust body. The old village chief was slightly startled after taking a look at it, but Then he turned his head immediately, and after coughing slightly, he reminded Surdak:

   "Ahem, it's best not to sell it in the market. You can't sell it at a good price. You should find a high-end restaurant in the city."

Suldak felt that since he had agreed to go to Hailansa City, there was nothing wrong with other things, and he readily agreed. When he came out of the bathroom, he found that besides the old village chief standing at the door, there was actually There were also Charlie, Luke, Val and two other young people. Seeing them standing aside awkwardly, Suldak couldn't help asking, "You want to sell the salamander meat too?"

   "..."

  Suldak originally planned to ask the five young people to take the salamander meat home and eat it directly. Although the salamander meat could not significantly improve the health of the family, it still had some effect.

  But the five young people obviously don't think so. They think that if they can sell the salamander meat, they will improve the living conditions at home to the greatest extent.

Hearing that the old village chief wanted Suldak to go to Hailansa City on horseback, he sent back the salamander meat that he had shared that night, and asked Suldak to bring the salamander meat that he had given to him to the village as well. In the city of Hailansa, find a high-end restaurant and sell all the salamander meat.

   Unexpectedly, the salamander meat sent out went around, and all of them were sent back. In the end, they had to go to Hailansa City by themselves.

Now that the old village chief came to his door, Suldak would certainly not be polite. He glanced at the bag of volcanic ash piled up in the corner, and asked the old village chief to find someone to pick up some limestone tomorrow, and then use a stone roller to grind it into fine stone powder , and then sent to his home, he will use the limes when he returns from Hailansa.

  Although the old village chief didn't understand what Suldak wanted to do, he agreed without hesitation, and handed over the matter to his youngest son Charlie and Luke.

  Charlie and Luke didn’t have the guts to resist the old village head, so they had to accept the job obediently, and then worried that the old village head would continue to arrange for them to work tomorrow, so they hurriedly found an excuse and dragged the other young people away.

  The old village head saw that Suldak agreed to take a trip to Hailansa City, so he left the salamander meat and walked out of the yard.

When the ancient horse came to Mali to rest enough, the full moon in the night sky had already climbed above his head. Just now, little Peter was clamoring sleepily to follow him to Hailansa City, and now he was lying on his stomach. Old Sheila fell asleep in her arms. Old Sheila glanced at Suldak with a hint of concern in her eyes. Afraid of waking up little Peter, she walked into the stone house without saying anything.

  When Surdak led the horse out of the yard, a crisp voice called him to stop.

Rita ran out with a cloth bag, raised her small face with a smug smile, and handed the cloth bag to Suldak. The bag was still warm. Suldak opened it and took a look. Two freshly baked wheat cakes.

   "Be careful on the road!"

  Rita stood at the gate wearing a nightgown, with a 'V'-shaped neckline revealing a large piece of creamy white skin.

   This is a clear contrast to the wheat-colored skin on her neck and arms.

She has a very well-proportioned figure, and her hands are a bit rough due to the heavy farm work every day. Even though the land is so barren, she grows up as tenaciously as seabuckthorn grass in the crevices of the rocks. She eats chestnut rice cakes and cassava porridge. The girl from the mountain village who grew up did not become emaciated due to not having enough to eat every meal. Her arms and legs were round and strong, her waist was slender, her chest was bulging, and her body was full of vitality.

  Seeing Rita's blue eyes, which can always touch the soft thing in Suldak's heart, Suldak asked Gu Bo to stop and said to Rita:

   "If all goes well, I will probably be able to come back the night after tomorrow. Don't worry, I have walked this road once."

  Hearing what Suldak said, Rita nodded seriously.

  …

  The night road from Wall Village to Hailansa City is not very easy.

   Fortunately, the full moon was in the sky, and the silver moonlight sprinkled the entire mountain. As long as you don't go into a dark place, the moonlight will follow Suldak's head.

   From the mountains in the distance, there were waves of sand wolves whimpering at night. After turning over a barren mountain, sparse trees appeared between the mountain walls.

On the eve of dawn, after turning over another mountain range, a raging sea of ​​trees appeared in front of my eyes. A gust of mountain wind blew by, and the dark green leaves on the crowns of countless trees rose and fell in the wind. Most of these trees were Oak trees, the acorns in the forest are about to ripen. When a gust of wind blows, you can even hear the sound of the acorns falling to the ground.

  Suldak was riding a horse. On this mountain ridge, he saw that the city of Hailansa in the distance halfway up the mountain was just a vague outline.

  As the sky got brighter, the city of Hailansa in the distance became a little bit clearer.
