"So, everyone, I'll be leaving now?"
The old man cautiously glanced at Zhang Tian and the others.
He was afraid Zhang Tian would turn around and rob him of his money.
Zhang Tian waved his hand, and the old man, like a donkey, sped away with his donkey.
"This old man, if it were in the past, Fatty would have definitely turned his donkey into hotpot."
Fatty watched the old man leave and grumbled a remark.
"Alright Fatty, let's go buy train tickets."
Hu Bayi interrupted Fatty's words, patted his shoulder, and walked ahead.
Zhang Tian looked at the city before him, his steps slowing.
"Customers, would you like to take a chartered car? It's very cheap, only fifty cents."
Before Zhang Tian had walked a few steps, a group of young and middle-aged men pulling rickshaws rushed over.
"Boss, want a ride?"
Fatty looked at Zhang Tian.
"Let's not. We finally have some free time, let's take a stroll."
Zhang Tian felt that after finally relaxing, there was no hurry to return.
Once back in Beili, there would be a mountain of things to deal with.
Rather than that, it was better to enjoy Kun Kun and wander around.
"Boss said no. You guys can go find someone else."
Fatty waved at the rickshaw pullers. The men exchanged glances and had to turn to leave.
Walking on the bustling street, peddlers were endless.
On both sides of the street, there were people selling jewelry, clothes, and some local specialties from Nanyun, like mushrooms.
In short, the variety was vast.
"Holy crap, boss, guess what I saw?"
Fatty's eyes lit up as if he had seen something.
"What?"
"It's traditional clothing from the Miao village! Fei Fei would look great in it!"
Fatty said excitedly.
Zhang Tian looked at Fatty's excited expression and twitched his lips. Was it really about looking good? He didn't want to expose him.
"Boss, can we go take a look? We've come all this way, shouldn't we bring back some local specialties?"
Fatty grabbed Zhang Tian's hand and shook it left and right.
Zhang Tian couldn't refuse this guy, so he nodded in agreement.
Everyone came to the small stalls around.
On the small stalls, there were various Nanyun traditional clothes.
Those clothes were worn conservatively, giving off a classical beauty.
Unlike modern times, Miao village clothes had a large opening at the legs. This was not the case here; traditional clothes were conservative and wrapped the body tightly.
This was to prevent insect bites. If there were large openings on the legs, one couldn't survive in the forest.
Fatty held the clothes, looking them over with satisfaction.
"Boss, how much are these clothes?"
"Five yuan."
The boss held out five fingers.
"Five yuan."
"Can you make it cheaper? Two yuan!"
Fatty started haggling without hesitation.
This habit of seeking petty advantages was fully displayed.
"Fatty, they're only five yuan, is it really necessary?"
Hu Bayi whispered from the side.
"Old Hu, you don't understand, this is a kind of fun."
Fatty smiled.
The boss, however, looked bitter.
"Four yuan at the lowest, otherwise I won't sell."
The boss's face also showed some determination.
Zhang Tian didn't watch Fatty haggle. Instead, his gaze shifted to other things, such as the Nanyun local specialties on the side.
After all, when one travels far, they should bring something back, shouldn't they?
He went to a jewelry stall and began choosing accessories.
Zhang Qilin, having nothing to do, went to look at the place selling miscellaneous items.
In such a place, antiques wouldn't be popular.
Firstly, the people here were generally poor, and antiques were not necessities.
Secondly, this place was remote, unlike Beili where there were many people and many wealthy individuals.
Zhang Tian bought some local silver hairpins at the jewelry stall.
He bought three: one for his mother, one for Tuan Tuan, and the other as a gift to Queen Jingjue for her help.
"Right, I promised her I'd take her out. If there are no clothes, it won't do."
"Fatty, buy three more sets of clothes for me!"
Zhang Tian shouted towards Fatty.
"What! Boss, you want Fatty to bleed dry!"
"I want a set too, thank you Fatty."
Shirley Yang spoke from the side, smiling.
"Fatty, as my sister-in-law, a set is not too much, right?"
Hu Bayi patted Fatty's shoulder.
Fatty's lips showed a smile that was more bitter than crying.
"It's not too much, but can you guys not pick on one sheep? Fatty is truly like a young bride stripped naked and put to bed, clean inside and out."
Fatty grumbled, but he still bought a lot of clothes for them.
This guy could only talk tough, but in reality, he was capable.
Zhang Tian also bought a lot of local specialties.
For example, fungi, some fruits, and jewelry.
He also bought jewelry for Fatty and Shirley Yang.
"Here, Fatty, your return gift."
Zhang Tian handed the jewelry to Fatty.
"Thanks, boss. Boss, could you put these in the space for me?"
Fatty said, handing over a large bag of clothes.
Zhang Tian found a secluded spot and put them away, also telling Queen Jingjue that she could wear one.
Whether she wore it or not was up to her, it had nothing to do with Zhang Tian.
After quickly finishing everything, Zhang Tian spent another half a day wandering in the city.
After they had their fill of fun, they went to the ticket office.
In Kun City, there was a unique train station, Ming Kun Station.
The ticketing method here was naturally to buy tickets with money at the counter.
Of course, because the train was the only means of transportation, there were many people buying tickets.
Looking at the endless stream of people before him, Fatty touched his cheek.
"These days, tickets are so hard to buy."
Fatty sighed.
"It's close to summer, so it's the peak season for migrant workers, hence the crowds at the train station."
"Let's wait."
Hu Bayi said, and Fatty nodded dejectedly.
After several hours,
Zhang Tian and the others only managed to buy sleeper tickets.
Few people bought sleeper tickets when traveling by train, especially in this era, so even if they waited for a long time, there were still tickets available.
After a few more hours, Zhang Tian and the others boarded the train.
Sitting in the train, looking at the scenery outside the small glass.
As the coal engine roared, the train whistle blew a crisp sound.
Zhang Tian stretched and sat on the bed.
"Let's take stock of what we've gained this time."
Zhang Tian said, and the previously relaxed atmosphere instantly became serious.
Zhang Qilin also brought his gaze over.
"We got quite a few things this time, for example, the witch's jade pendant from the red coffin earlier, and then the green pearl from the statue of the Xian King."
"The Yingchen Pearl, it's a shame we didn't find the Xian King's cultivation methods."
"A large amount of medicinal herbs, a large number of pill books, some pill furnaces, and a large number of pills."
"Some of the pills haven't had their effects discovered yet, so I plan to study them when we get back before distributing them."
"For now, let's distribute the cultivation methods obtained inside and the known pills. How about it?"
Zhang Tian spoke continuously.
Everyone nodded, with no objections.
Zhang Tian thought for a moment and spoke again.
"As for the Yingchen Pearl, I plan to keep it in the space, because the Yingchen Pearl has the effect of producing that kind of aura. We can use the Yingchen Pearl for cultivation later."
Zhang Tian said continuously, and everyone nodded.
This time, the main item was the Yingchen Pearl; as for the others, they seemed less important.
