Chapter 242 Bao Min
When leaving, Zhang Yuan left a sum of gold and silver to Shui Sheng.
This gold and silver was confiscated from the Brotherhood.
Although the quantity is not very large, it is enough for this young man to live and practice for a long time.
This was Zhang Yuan’s last gift to him.
Zhang Yuan believes that with Shui's intelligence and tenacity, as long as he doesn't die prematurely, the future will be bright.
After ending this fate, Zhang Yuan quietly returned to Dachen Island.
He disguised himself again, changed a new image and name, and then rented a small house on the island to live temporarily.
For more than ten days in a row, I stared at Chen Qi's lair through the red-eyed crow every day.
Chen Qi has a total of two strongholds on Dachen Island, and Zhang Yuan wants to see if Yan Wushuang will come to him.
As a result, he stayed on guard for half a month and saw no one else except for a few guys who were suspected of being spies.
Zhang Yuan was not surprised at all.
What kind of person is Yan Wushuang? He has been hiding in Damengze for more than ten years and has been safe and sound. His scheming skills are unparalleled by ordinary people.
Such a character will not make stupid mistakes!
As for these spies, Zhang Yuan did not alert or contact them.
Because it is impossible to determine whether the other party is reliable.
Half a month later, Zhang Yuan gave up waiting.
He bought a small boat and went to Nanli Island.
Nanli Island is one of the largest mainland islands in Damengze.
This island belongs to the core settlement of Mon people, so it is also called Mon Island.
Zhang Yuan suspected that Yan Wushuang was involved with Bao Min, so he decided to go to Nanli Island to inquire about the news.
See if you can find anything.
After walking in the water for several hours, a towering island appeared in his sight.
Nanli Island is not only very large, but also has mountains and forests on the island, and the peaks are spectacular.
Such an island is rare in Damengze and can be regarded as a geomantic treasure.
It is said that the Chan people have lived and thrived on Nanli Island for hundreds of years and have always firmly controlled this large continental island rich in products.
Zhang Yuan drove the boat close to the dock.
Nanli Island Pier is very large, with a large number of merchant ships, fishing boats and fast boats moored. People come up and down to carry goods, making it a lively and prosperous scene.
Zhang Yuan found a gap to park his boat.
As soon as he reached the shore, two men wearing black shirts and wearing scimitars came over.
Baemin's clothing is unique and easy to distinguish.
Men usually wear Xuanyi with red bird patterns embroidered on the collar, cuffs or trouser legs.
The woman wears a plain white skirt, silver jewelry on her head and a red belt around her waist.
"Do you have an ID card?"
A man stared at Zhang Yuan coldly, as if examining the suspect: "What do you want to do in Nanli?"
< br>
Zhang Yuan replied calmly: "No, I'm here to buy medicinal materials."
Nanli Island is rich in wood, medicinal herbs and copper and iron ores, and the people of Changmin do not prohibit outsiders from doing business on the island.
That’s why there are so many merchant ships and cargo ships in the dock area.
Zhang Yuan had already inquired before coming here.
His current identity is that of a drug dealer working for a single gang.
In order to hide his cultivation, Zhang Yuan deliberately controlled the true energy of his Dantian and stimulated his strength to increase his body size.
Make yourself look more like a burly man with level three strength cultivation.
This is a technique he learned from "Jiang Hu Lu".
Of course, such a disguise cannot be fooled by masters of the same level.
But it is impossible for a fourth-level warrior to serve as a dock guard.
The two people looked at each other, and the other one coughed and said, "The identity card for landing on the island is five taels of silver." Five taels of silver?
Zhang Yuan knew as soon as he heard that the other party was extorting money.
He smiled and said: "How many times can it be used?"
If the other party answered once, Zhang Yuan would turn around and leave.
At worst, we can sneak onto the island when we come back at night.
It’s not that he can’t afford the money.
But you must not be taken advantage of like this!
Namin hesitated for a moment and replied: "Seeing as this is your first time here, I will give you an identity card that is valid for one month, but the money cannot be less than five taels!"
Looks like he’s convinced Zhang Yuan!
Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment, and with a hint of reluctance, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to the other party.
In exchange for a wooden sign with red characters on a black background.
"This sign must be hung on the island."
Songmin reminded: "Come to me for a replacement when it expires, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Finished , he and his companions left with their heads high.
Zhang Yuan watched them check other people who landed on the island, and then hung the wooden tag around his waist.
Nanli Island is vast, with most of it being mountains covered with dense forests. The Chan people built a very large walled city in the southwest plain area as their home.
There are a large number of bamboo houses and wooden houses in this walled city, and the architectural style is completely different from that of Dachen Island.
With strong exotic characteristics.
Most of the pedestrians walking on the road are Bao Min, the men are strong and strong, the women are graceful and charming, and there are also children wearing crotchless pants running barefoot on the stone slabs.
On both sides of the road are high and low houses. An old man sits under the eaves and smokes a cigarette. A woman on the side lowers her head and weaves cloth. It is full of life and there are no shops or workshops in sight.
Continuing to walk inside, Zhang Yuan saw the earth building with the most Jing ethnic characteristics.
This round building is similar to the Hakka earth buildings in Fujian Province he had seen in his previous life. It is tall and solid like a fortress.
In front of the earth building is a large open-air market!
There are no shops on Nanli Island, and all transactions are completed in this big market.
There are countless large and small stalls here, and many foreign businessmen are doing business with local residents.
Zhang Yuan walked around the market with great interest, browsing the goods on the stalls.
The items sold by the people are mainly medicinal materials, animal bones, copper and iron metals, jade, as well as cloth and various food ingredients.
There were many things he had never seen before.
While walking, Zhang Yuan stopped in front of a street stall.
This street stall sells all medicinal materials, and they seem to be of relatively high quality, including several sticks of prepared wild ginseng.
Zhang Yuan did not expect that ginseng was produced here.
So he squatted down and pointed at one of the wild ginsengs: "How much does this wild ginseng cost?"
This ginseng is in good condition, and is about forty or fifty years old. .
Because wild ginseng has a very good effect in nourishing qi and blood.
Therefore, Zhang Yuan always kept several of them at his side for emergency use.
The stall owner was a skinny middle-aged man. He blinked and looked at Zhang Yuan, then opened his hand and shook it: "Fifty taels of silver."
< br>Zhang Yuan was a little surprised when he heard the other party's offer.
Because similar wild ginseng costs at least 180 taels of silver in Xia Xu!
It’s actually less than a third of the price here.
A bit too cheap.
Out of caution, he asked again: "Is this fifty taels of silver, right?"
Middle-aged Baomin grinned, revealing a mouth full of burnt and uneven teeth: " That’s right, it’s fifty taels!”
Zhang Yuan immediately decided: “Then I’ll take it.”
