The sea breeze was lingering, and the beautiful seascape came into view. As the sand gulls "croaked" across the water and spread their wings, the small island on the distant seaside entered a new day.
In the early morning, the fog rolled in.
The farmers on the island get up early and are busy in the fields carrying hoes and driving cattle and horses. Although the earth has begun to enter the technological era, most places are still not penetrated by science and technology. They are still in a very primitive farming era, and work basically relies on physical strength.
Beside a gurgling stream, a thin figure squatted by the stream carrying a schoolbag, carefully cleaning her small sugar bowl with water.
April has been wandering on this small island for more than a month. Due to the long period of wandering, her neat clothes have been stained here and there, and some places are even torn.
"Gurgulu~" The sound coming from her belly showed that she was already very hungry. Touching her belly, April pouted with a look of aggrievedness. Because she was still young, ignorant and thin, she was unable to find food, so she could only rely on The rescue life of the island residents.
The small sugar bowl she held tightly in her arms was empty. The last candy was eaten by her a few days ago.
"Dad, Mom, Sepuryl..." April called helplessly, tears welling up in her eyes. Then she opened her schoolbag and carefully put the sugar bowl in. When she saw the smoke rising in the distance, she collapsed. He straightened his mouth and ran towards the village.
"Knock knock knock!"
A farmer's house heard a knock on the door. The old woman opened the door and saw a timid little girl standing in front of her.
"Grandma, I'm so hungry, can you give me something to eat?" April blushed and twirled the corners of her clothes.
When the old woman saw that the little girl's clothes were in a mess, as if she had suffered a disaster, she immediately felt pity, took April into the house, and served her a plate of not-so-rich food. The food in the countryside is very rough, and the taste is not as good as that in the city, but April is very hungry, she devours it, and when she chokes, she hits her chest hard.
"What a pitiful child, why are you alone, where are your parents?" the old woman asked looking at April's pitiful appearance.
"There are a lot of bad guys chasing them, and they... are all gone..." April said while eating, and couldn't help but cry when she got sad.
"Alas~" The old woman sighed. From the little girl's words, she could tell that her parents might be gone. This is how the world is. Although the United Kingdom has been established for more than a hundred years, there are still many places where rebels exist. power.
"Grandma, do you have any candy here? I want candy..." April lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment. But when she thought of the sweetness of the candies, she seemed to recall the warmth she felt when she was with her family. She remembered that after eating the candies a few days ago, she saw her parents in her dream.
The old woman was stunned for a moment and said: "We are in a rural area, unlike the cities where we sell candies, but we have honey here, why don't you try it."
"Thank you." April thanked politely.
The old woman smiled and thoughtfully took out a jar of honey from the hut. It was wild honey and had high nutritional value.
"Come on, try it."
"Oh, it's so sweet!" After putting a drop into her mouth, April's eyes lit up.
"If you like, I'll give these to you."
"Really?" April was so happy. She took out the small sugar bowl from her schoolbag, then carefully poured the honey into the sugar bowl, and then closed the lid. "Thank you, grandma!" she said politely. grateful.
"Yeah." The old woman looked at the little girl's well-behaved appearance and couldn't help but have the idea of adopting her, but April shook her head. She didn't want to stay on this island.
"Oh, what a cute little guy."
The old woman said with emotion as she watched April bow to her and leave.
On the other side, after April filled her stomach, she walked towards the port in confusion. Listening to the shouts coming from near the port, she blinked her eyes and lowered her head to sneak in. In a merchant ship.
…
On the other hand, after Mu Yang snatched all the gold and silver treasures from the bandits, he flew all the way to a nearby city. He randomly found an exchange in the city and exchanged part of the gold and silver treasures into common currency.
"Sir, you brought a total of 0.2 tons of gold and 120 pieces of jewelry. The total converted into currency is 110 million earth coins. Do you want cash or a debit card." After completing the calculation, the boss of the exchange wiped his sweat and trembled. Quote the price.
Mu Yang smiled lightly, but he did not expect that the little gold and silver he took out could be exchanged for so much currency. This shows how many people the bandits had robbed.
"Exchange me for 2 million Earth coins, and the rest will be stored in the card."
"Yes, yes, we will handle it for you right away." The boss responded repeatedly, wiped his sweat and asked the staff to help him get 2 million in cash from the vault. He had to take good care of such a big customer.
Muyang smiled and took the debit card and a tin box filled with cash, then waved. This earth currency is issued by the United Kingdom and is universally accepted. Its purchasing power is similar to that of the renminbi in the previous life. With this money, he no longer has to worry about money.
Sure enough, the most profitable industries are written in the criminal code.
After leaving the exchange, Mu Yang thought about it and went to the seafood market, preparing to buy hundreds of tons of sea fish for the Cat Immortal. After all, he took more than 10,000 fairy beans from the Cat Immortal, and he always wanted to express his gratitude.
Generously throwing out a wad of banknotes, the fishmongers immediately enthusiastically collected 180 tons of seafood for him. This transaction almost swept all the fresh goods in the market, and then packed them in large baskets and helped transport them. A remote alley. There, Mu Yang opened the acceleration space and put all the sea fish in it.
"This time the Cat Immortal will be satisfied. Hey, I used these sea fish to get more than 10,000 fairy beans. It's a huge profit."
This is the benefit of information asymmetry. If it were in the era after the plot started, Sun Wukong and the others would all know the importance of fairy beans. Even if he spent a lot of money, he would not be able to get a fairy bean.
Humming a tune happily, Mu Yang went to the market to purchase a stove and some fuel, then jumped into the air and rushed towards Kelinta.
