Chapter 22: An Assortment of Stones

"Could it be possible, what's so good about this place?" Ji Fengyan rubbed her chin. Her master had passed away for a long time, and it was the first time she dreamed of meeting him. There was no reason why the sound would not come.

Ling He and the others had just gone to bed not long ago, and the huge yard finally looked a bit better after a night of cleaning. Although it was a little poor, it could still be lived.

Ji Fengyan wandered around the yard, taking advantage of the rising sun, she slipped out resolutely.

She wanted to see what was so special about this place.

Although Jicheng is small, the folk customs are simple and honest. It is early in the morning, but the streets are already crowded with people. Stalls of all sizes have been paved on both sides of the street, and shops with various things are already open.

Food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are not lacking in everything. Ji Fengyan walked around the city for a while, and probably got acquainted with it. Compared with the 24th century, this world is more primitive, but this is not like the ancient times in Ji Fengyan's memory. There are no skirts and long gowns here, nor sharp swords and wide knives. What we have here are some more westernized things, such as long spears and short swords, silver armor... and what is called a "staff" which is almost like a firewood stick. "The wooden stick...

Ji Fengyan looked around, and her interest gradually faded away. Just when she was about to find a place to fill her stomach first, she suddenly saw a crowd full of people gathered outside a shop. It was very eye-catching. .

Ji Fengyan rushed over with the intention of watching the excitement.

It was a rather large shop, but it was different from other shops. The goods displayed in this shop were not fine clothes, but... pieces of dirty broken stones!

Those stones are big and small, the big ones are the size of a square table, and the small ones are as miniature as quail eggs.

Piles of seemingly inconspicuous stones are stacked together to form "small hills" in the shop.

Some stones are placed on exquisite shelves, which look very strange.

The people surrounding the shop were noisy one by one, and they almost didn't fight over the stones. Some people in shabby clothes entered from the other side of the shop, and each of them carried a bag on their backs. Baskets full of stones, when the people carrying the baskets walked into the shop, the little brothers in the shop immediately went to meet them, and the noisy crowd all stared at the people in the baskets. stone.

It's like... that's just lumps of gold!

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Ji Fengyan took advantage of his petite stature to squeeze to the front of the crowd, looked at the roaring red-faced big man beside him, and asked with a smile.

The big man kept scanning the stones in the store with his eyes. Hearing Ji Fengyan's question, he was a little puzzled. He lowered his head and found that it was a little guy who only reached his chest, "Little brat, this place is not for you. Yes, go, go, go..."

The big man waved his hand impatiently.

Ji Fengyan said in a good manner, "Why can't I come here?"

The big man frowned, looked at Ji Fengyan who looked like a curious baby, and could only ask, "Little devil, aren't you from this city?"

"Uncle has good eyesight!" Ji Fengyan nodded.

"No wonder you don't know anymore." The big man twitched his lips.
