A quite prosperous town, of course compared to this place and the small villages that came over.
There were about hundreds of people in blacksmith shops, gold and silver jewelry shops, clothing, shoes and hats, hotels and taverns.
The only thing they didn't have was the money in their wallets.
"Everything here costs money."
Regel deliberately asked Maria: "Can your god conjure money for us to spend?"
Mary answered absolutely: "The book says you cannot tempt God."
Everyone secretly smiled.
You must know that some sects have a history of more than a year, and they must have a certain way to survive.
The more believers there are, the more rules and regulations are set, and all loopholes have been repaired.
"Then everyone disperse."
Gordon also became angry and said to Maria: "Saint, if you are really a saint, then go get some food for your followers, don't just pay lip service. ” "I'll give it a try, but don't worry, God will be with us."
Maria was quite confident.
I really don't know where her confidence came from.
Everyone dispersed and started looking for money and food.
Sneijder and Cheng Qianxun took two rabbit skins and some mouse skins, Rudolph and Gordon each took a silver bowl, and Regeer said to go to the blacksmith shop to see if there was any.
There was no work to be done, such as chopping wood.
After long-term training, Regel's wood-cutting skills have become increasingly sophisticated, and he can cut a lot of firewood in a short time.
The blacksmith shop needs a lot of firewood, so there should be a chance.
And Maria, she can die wherever she likes.
This town is only so big and she can’t lose her for a while, as long as it doesn’t disturb their business.
All exchanges require bargaining.
The owner of the clothing store said that rabbit skin can be used to make hats.
Rat skin can only be used as the edge, and the skin here is not very valuable.
Instead, I was very interested in the semi-dried wild vegetables that Sneijder brought.
There are basically no such wild vegetables here.
We bought them together and gave them twenty copper coins and half a bag of five kilograms of flour.
Rudolph and Gordon also completed the transaction.
They first asked who had the money in the town, and then went door-to-door to sell it, saying that it was sold to a jewelry store, antique store, gold and silver store, and they would buy it back after taking a fancy to it.
But not at this price.
The two silver bowls are in very good condition, and there are some fine silk flowers engraved on the bowl surfaces.
As a gimmick of matching, the richest man in town bought both.
I happily gave him fifteen silver coins, which was considered a very good price.
Reger exchanged a pile of firewood for five knives.
Although the knives were made by apprentices, they looked a bit bad.
Even if you sell it at a reduced price, you won't be able to make much money.
He simply gave it to Regel as money for chopping wood.
The knife is not big and can be inserted into your waist or shoe.
Also, you can cut wild fruits without a sword.
"Then we should go find our saint."
Sneijder joked.
"I hope she hasn't been sold yet," Gordon said.
Reger smiled: "If it is sold, she will help count the money."
Rudolph looked up at the sky: "The clouds are quite low, it looks like it's going to rain."
Gordon nodded: "Yes, I need to find a place to spend the night."
The town is not big and it is very fast.

They find Maria in the tavern, standing at a table.
He was preaching with righteous indignation and impassion.
"Oh, it's here."
Cheng Qianxun looked up at Maria: "Hey, Saint, have you earned any money or food?"
"What's the point of making money?
What's more important than awakening these ignorant people?"
Maria said with a blushing face, and then continued to curse: "You people who don't believe in God will be abandoned by God sooner or later, hurry up Wake up."
But few people listened to her, a few were drunk, a few were discussing their own affairs, and two or three were just to kill time.
"So you know her."
The boss came, with an unwelcoming expression on his face: "Take her away quickly and keep a close eye on her.
She has ruined a lot of business."
"You are still drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking to death, why don't you listen to God's words?"
Maria pointed at a guest who was drinking and roared.
"Don't worry about me, you are not my wife."
The guest's reply made the others laugh, and they would have kicked her out if it weren't for her age.
Cheng Qianxun couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "You have been here all this time and haven't earned a penny."
"Of course," Mary said very proudly, and it could be said that she was arrogant: "What is more important than spreading the gospel of God?"
Knowing this, what else can she do besides sighing?
Maria is a crazy girl now, and she will still be like this when she gets old, and she will become a crazy woman.
Will the mercy and charity of others be regarded as offerings to God?
Is such a person lucky or unlucky to live?
Cheng Qianxun was still relatively patient and said: "Of course it is important to spread the gospel, but the stomach is also very important.
If you are not full, how can you have the strength to preach and persuade?
If you are hungry for three days, you probably don't even have the strength to speak, and you still want to do it.
Let’s get some food quickly for the great expedition.”
Of course, the more important thing than spreading the gospel is not filling our stomachs, but going on an expedition.
The twenty-day journey might be a short time for some people, but for Maria, who could not leave the village, it was naturally almost the end of the world.
She puffed out her chest and said loudly and seriously: "Now, which believer in God can offer me some food?"
Suddenly the whole tavern was filled with laughter, and Cheng Qianxun and the others were almost covering their foreheads.
Sure enough, don't expect this crazy girl to get anything to eat or drink.
In fact, the main reason is that the villagers were too kind to her, always pampering her and giving her food.
Sneijder walked to the counter.
Most of the people standing at the counter of this kind of tavern are the bosses themselves: "I want to borrow a place to live, as long as it's cheap."
The boss looked at it and said, "The cheapest small room costs four cents."
Probably because Sneijder didn't look like someone with no money, but he said it was cheap, so he said he wanted a small room.
"No matter how cheap it is," Sneijder added.
This is not the time to save face.
We need money to buy various equipment.
We can't just run into the desert with ten days of dry food.
The boss replied: "Every person has a room for a bunkhouse...
No matter how cheap it is, there is only a livestock shed, and you can get one room for as many people as you like."
"I don't live in a barn."
Maria immediately shouted: "How can I live with animals with my status?"
Come on, the place we used to live in was almost like a barn, and there weren't even any animals.
Regal knew that scolding was useless.

He also started to coax him: "There are saints who live in cattle sheds, and some were born there."
"I can't help it anyway."
Maria pursed her lips: "It stinks so bad, I can't stand the smell."
I'm so delicate and expensive, I can't bear a little hardship, but I still want to walk for more than 20 days just on my feet, let's just dream It was getting dark, but the fire in the blacksmith shop was still burning.
Four teammates are preparing dinner. . .
Reger returned to the blacksmith shop.
The blacksmith was a good man and agreed to let them stay in the shop downstairs for one night.
"What smell is it?
Such a strong smell."
Maria frowned.
The blacksmith shop smelled of pig iron, the smell of metal that was forged at high temperatures and then put into water.
If Regel hadn't chopped a lot of firewood this afternoon and the blacksmith was a good man, who would have let so many strangers sleep in his shop and still have her turn to pick and choose.
"The animals in the barn smell much heavier than this."
Cheng Qianxun was helping to cut wild fruits.
He rolled his eyes and said: "I don't live here.
You can make a bed outside in the open air."
Maria said dissatisfiedly: "Anyway, we're just laying a floor on the floor here..."
"Wow!"
It started to rain suddenly outside.
Listening to the sound, it was raining quite hard.
I swallowed the rest of the words and went to make a bed on the floor on a rainy day and sleep in the mud.
Today's wild vegetable gnocchi soup was put in a little salt, and the wild fruit pie was put in an egg and a little sugar.
It really tasted much better, now that I have money.
Finally I can buy some salt and sugar.
After eating, Regel went to discuss taking a bath with the blacksmith.
Now, like ordinary people, they sweat a lot, and even if the smell is not that strong, they still feel uncomfortable.
The blacksmith said that they also bathed in the river outside.
It was already dark outside and it was still raining, so everyone went to bed first and waited until daybreak.
If you can sleep in the house with the door closed, you don't have to be on duty.
The blacksmith's family lives upstairs.
The surrounding residents seem to be relatively simple.
Even the businessmen don't have too much cunning and low prices, so they still sleep this night.
It must be quite fragrant.
At dawn the next day, Gordon was the first to get up and go chop wood.
When the blacksmith and his son woke up and stretched downstairs to start work, they saw Gordon chopping wood and felt embarrassed: "No, if we go down again, it will be enough for a month."
Gordon wiped his sweat slightly and stopped: "Okay."
The blacksmith went upstairs, and after a while his wife came down with some clothes.
He said that he heard that they were going to take a shower, so he lent them some replacement clothes.
They are all coarse cloth robes, some even patched, used as pajamas and work clothes, but they can be washed clean.
It can be regarded as helping them.
After all, resources are scarce, and even old clothes can be sold for money.
Even rags can be exchanged for a few pieces of candy.
There are already people at the creek, some are washing clothes and some are taking a bath.
Only men take baths, and they only need to wrap a cloth around their waists, while women specially set up four wooden boards as walls in the water.
They can wash inside; they can also take off their clothes inside and wrap their bodies with cloth or Put on other clothes, and when you get out, go to the deep water to take a dip or swim.

There is a little gap under the board, and the water reaches up to the calves.
"That's it."
Maria's words came again: "How can this be washed?
What if the board falls and a man breaks in..."
"If you don't wash it, I'll wash it.
I feel like I'm stinking."
She left quickly while Maria didn't continue to "bounce".
Whether you like to wash or not, no matter how smelly a person is, they can't smell as bad as a rotting corpse.
In fact, it's quite thoughtful inside, and there are even nails for hanging clothes.
When she did a rough wash in the "ladies' shower room", put on clean clothes, and began to wash the dirty clothes in the water, Maria also came in.
Seeing Maria's squirming look, she went out holding the dirty clothes before she could say anything.
Her teammates had also finished washing, and she greeted, "I'll wash your clothes."
"No, it's already washed."
The teammates washed their own clothes in the water.
The blacksmith's wife was very thoughtful and gave them a long rope so that they could hang their clothes on a tree by the river.
Reagor and Gordon hung out on the ropes while Sneijder and Rudolph tumbled dry.
The cloak is very long and wide.
When sleeping at night, it wraps around the body and is equivalent to a blanket.
However, after washing, it is as heavy as a bed sheet.
She helped hand out the clothes, and while everyone was working, Maria finished washing them.
"This is mine" Maria handed over the wet clothes.
Regal was immediately surprised: "You actually finished washing the clothes.
It's rare.
I thought the noble Miss Qian Jin would ask us to do it for you again."
Maria raised her head slightly: "Am I really that bad?
Don't forget, I have lived alone for more than six years."
Finally, I saw a little hope that this charming young lady might still be saved.
Rudolf said abruptly: "Maybe the clothes accidentally fell into the water and had to be washed.
I just saw the clothes fell into the water.
It took you a long time to pick them up, and it took a while before you started washing."
If it was originally When preparing clothes, you should start washing immediately after the clothes are put into the water.
Maria blushed and said nothing more.
Her sect cannot lie, so if that's the case, then she won't speak out.
All the clothes have been hung up with ropes.
The sun is not bad today, so the clothes should be dry before noon in two to three hours.
"Gordon, follow me.
We still need some necessary supplies.
The others will stay here to look after the clothes."
Rudolph needs to buy some things.
"Regel and I are going too.
Is it okay if I leave you two to look at the clothes?"
After Sneijder received a positive answer, the four of them left together.
You have to look at your clothes.
Although the folk customs here are still okay, who can say for sure if there is a thief.
These are the only clothes you have.

If they are stolen, they will be gone and you will have to spend money to buy them.
"The ground is all wet, how can I meditate?"
Maria frowned.
"Then sit and meditate.
If there is a spirit in your heart, you can sit or stand."
Cheng Qian found a relatively clean large stone and sat down.
This stone should be where the villagers often sit.
The top of the stone is polished.
Very light.
Maria's eyes widened immediately: "It's so good that it could be written into a book."
Too lazy to talk to this crazy girl, she just sat and stared at the wet clothes on the tree swaying slightly in the wind.
After Mary muttered a few words, and seeing that she wasn't listening, she found a stone to sit on, closed her eyes, turned her face to the sky, and communed with God again, except that she didn't cross her legs.
About two hours later, only Sneijder came back.
He went to touch his clothes and said, "Well, it's almost done.
Go back quickly.
If possible, we'll leave immediately."
"We're ready to go."
Maria stood up excitedly and ran away without even caring about her clothes.
She looked at Sneijder helplessly, and Sneijder also pouted at her, and the two of them gathered their clothes together.
After collecting the clothes and carrying them back to the blacksmith shop, I saw a donkey in the distance
