After leaving the Kangaroo Stadium, Wells did not leave the Rock City immediately.
As if to make Lu Qiu happier, he slowly wandered the streets, taking a few streets that he hadn't been to last time.
It is the morning now, and there are so many animals coming and going in the city, just like a festival. Today, the streets can be described as shoulder-to-shoulder.
Lu Qiu looked around curiously.
Wells wandered among them, frowned and pushed back the cloth bag on his chest, and then pressed Lu Qiu's head into the bag by the way.
Now Lu Qiu only had the top of his head and a pair of eyes to look out.
Wells suddenly remembered what day it was today.
There are four free trade streets in Giant Rock City, like a market, open every other week for two days at a time. Animals can come and sell their goods here for a small booth fee.
Today happens to be the first day of the market.
There are all kinds of things sold on the Free Trade Street, and it is very lively.
Wells turned around and walked towards Free Trade Street following the animal flow.
Lu Qiu found that more and more black and bright big bugs appeared beside them. These bugs were all over one meter long, and there was a huge horn that stretched and forked on the top of their heads. The back was a bright, dark red, as if smeared with oil, and the edges of the shell were black.
Behind each big bug is pulling a scooter-like flat plate, which is full of various goods. It looks like the bugs are all porters.
If they went to the place where the aircraft was parked outside the giant rock city at this time, they could find that the four parking spots outside the city had been wrapped in insects.
It's just that Wells was in a hurry before and went straight to the hospital after getting out of the aircraft. The speed was too fast, and Lu Qiu didn't see it clearly.
In fact, these bugs were not scary at all, and Lu Qiu also recognized them. They were all unicorns. They were so powerful that they could lift more than 850 times their own weight, so they became the best porters in the animal world.
Aircraft are not allowed to enter the city. If the animals selling goods are too much and they are not strong enough, they can only hire Unicorns to help.
Unicorns are not slow, their asking prices are low, and they also help with handling, which can save a lot of trouble. Therefore, even if there are many animals that can be moved by themselves, they will choose to hire one or two.
In fact, if you look closely, these unicorns are quite cute, but the legs inexplicably made Lu Qiu think of the big spider that scared her.
The ground was too crowded, and Wells flew a little higher, but it wasn't too high, and now the air was crowded with all kinds of birds just like the road.
With a wide field of vision, Lu Qiu turned his eyes to observe.
Right in front of them, there is a rabbit with red eyes and big white ears, which is following a pure black unicorn. This unicorn looks smaller than the others, and its speed is much slower. , take a few steps and then stop for a while.
When it stopped, the rabbit took out a bottle wrapped in straw from the bag hanging on his chest, opened the bottle and placed it in front of the Unicorn.
Because it was at a high place, Lu Qiu vaguely saw that the bottle was a kind of pale green water. This water is the sap and food for the unicorns.
After taking a sip of water, the Unicorn continued to walk forward. The rabbit was talking to it from time to time, and the Unicorn shook his head slightly as if responding.
The interaction of one rabbit and one bug made Lu Qiu's original resistance to these bugs disappear instantly.
She began to observe the surroundings more carefully, and saw that almost every unicorn was followed by an animal, which should be the employer.
One of the richest employers employed ten unicorns at a time. It was a white-haired sheep, walking with its head held high, carrying two bags on his back, and the unicorns' carts were also full of the same bags.
The bag seemed to be the seeds of some crop, because a group of birds gathered above them, and only sparrows could be recognized by Lu Qiu.
These birds are very interested in the contents of these bags, but because of the regulations, they are afraid to start, so they have to keep circling and refusing to leave.
A small round bird with a pointed grey belly and a long beak landed on Hanyang's head, lowered his head and chirped at Hanyang, not knowing what he was talking about, Hanyang blew.
As if some kind of agreement had been reached, the little round bird landed on the back of Han Sheep and began to peck at him. The long, pointed beak ripped open the hair from time to time, as if he was rummaging for something. After turning his head over, he jumped to his neck. Keep busy.
But before it finished pecking, several black-winged birds with red eyes and red pointed beak flew down from the sky. This bird is very special, the tip of its beak is red, but the second half is bright yellow, and its belly is hairy. Also brown.
One of the birds aggressively pushed the busy little round bird away, chirped at the Hanyang sheep, and skillfully turned over the wool while chirping, and pinched out a slender little bug with precision. .
It turned out to be a business.
The little round bird, who had been busy for a long time and couldn't find anything, was a little frustrated, and jumped back to the bag on Hanyang's back, as if it was about to fly away.
Hanyang blew twice, the little round bird's eyes lit up, and immediately flew towards Hanyang's face.
Hanyang stuck out his tongue, and there was a pinch of wheat on his tongue.
The little round bird immediately pecked its tail happily.
After eating, it spread its wings and flipped up and down in front of Hanyang for a while before flying back to the sky.
Lu Qiu, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, widened his eyes in amazement. It turns out that the competition in animal business is so fierce.
The group that flew later should be cow starlings, which originally fed on the bugs and flies on the animals' backs. The behavior of the little round bird was purely a business rush, no, it was a food rush. No wonder the cow starlings would run on it. .
After watching with interest for a while, the Free Trade Street is already in sight.
The extremely wide streets were already lined with various small stalls, and behind each stall was a separate hut full of spare goods.
Too tall animals directly demolished the roof of the house.
At this point, the Unicorns diverted to the various stalls, and the street opened up a bit. Wells fell down and followed the first stall to slowly stroll past.
He didn't have anything in particular that he wanted to buy, it just depends on whether Lu Qiu likes it or not, he just takes a shower and pays for it.
It was the first time that Lu Qiu had visited the animals' market stall. He immediately stretched his neck and looked at the stall with great interest. He was holding the cloth bag with both hands, and half of his body was sticking out.
There are too many animals here, and Wells is uneasy about putting her on his back.
Even though Lu Qiu used Anpajama pants, his sharp nose could still smell the smell, so Wells was not too worried about holding her in his arms.
Lu Qiu didn't care. Although the bag wasn't as comfortable as Wells's arms, it was more comfortable.
The row closest to the street, I don't know if it was specially arranged, but behind the stalls are all huge animals. Up is an elephant.
The elephant was so big that it was taller than the room behind her. She squeezed reluctantly behind the small stall with a bucket beside her. From time to time, she stuck out her nose to suck water, then rolled up and sprinkled a little on herself.
Summer is getting closer and closer, and noon is getting hotter and hotter. There are too many animals here, and the air is even more turbid.
Lu Qiu looked back at Wells with some worry, and found that his expression was normal and there was nothing uncomfortable, so he was relieved.
The things placed in front of the elephant stall are very complicated. Apart from two white and long tusks, the rest are some fruits and bark
Lu Qiu didn't quite understand how there was bark, and there was a lot of bark.
But after a while, it becomes clear that the bark is thin and fresh, and herbivores should like it.
Sure enough, a sika deer soon came over and bought a few pieces of bark.
This sika deer is a doe with a slightly rounded belly, which seems to be pregnant. After finding her sight, a male sika deer with tall and double horns suddenly squeezed behind the doe. He guarded the doe vigilantly, stared at Wells on guard, and then carefully took the doe away.
Lu Qiu was embarrassed for a moment, looked up at Wells, and found that he was looking down, as if his eyes had never left him.
Suddenly feeling very calm, Lu Qiu pointed at the elephant's stall, indicating that he wanted to buy something.
"To buy that."
Wells approached the stall knowingly.
Lu Qiu felt that there was a piece of bark that looked like cinnamon, and a faint smell wafted out, but she had only seen dried cinnamon, not fresh, so she wasn't sure if it was.
"Wells, hug."
Before it was inconvenient to get closer in the bag, she opened her hand to Wells, and the movement was extremely skilled.
Wells hesitated for a moment, but still took her out and brought her to the booth. Lu Qiu lay on the bark and sniffed one by one, and sure enough, there was a large piece of cinnamon.
The smell of cinnamon is quite special, and many animals sneeze when they smell it. For example, Wells, who is now beside him, has thrown his head back.
The cinnamon trees are not too thick, and this cinnamon bark is much smaller than other bark.
Lu Qiu waved the cinnamon to Wells Dan: "I want to buy this." She had no money, so she could only use the giant cat at this time.
"How much?" Wells asked the stall owner.
"Twenty beast coins."
Wells didn't talk nonsense to the owner of the elephant stall. He reached out his paw and touched him with the terminal before paying.
"Thank you for your patronage, do you still like other things?" Elephant asked happily after doing a single business, with its long trunk waving in front of Lu Qiu.
Lu Qiu couldn't help reaching out to touch it. This elephant was too big, its trunk was thicker than the legs of the elephant in the previous life, and its two jade-white ivory gleamed in the sunlight.
The two tusks sold at the elephant stand were not poached or obtained from carcasses. It was hit by an elephant when it was fighting with other animals, and it can be sold when the money is needed. The purchase price of ivory is very high, because it may not be possible to collect one for a long time.
The elephant was a little curious about Lu Qiu, and stretched out its nose. Lu Qiu usually wanted to touch something when encouraged.
But unfortunately, after the transaction, Wells didn't need a word. After throwing the bark into the bag, he turned around ruthlessly and left without giving Lu Qiu a chance to communicate with the elephant.
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.
After leaving the elephant booth, they continued to move forward. In front of them was the rhino booth. A few ox starlings they had seen before stood on the back of the rhinoceros. When they saw a customer approaching, they opened their mouths and chirped, as if they were helping to sell goods.
The rhino booth is not much different from the elephant next door, there are many plants, saplings and vines. There is no ivory, but there are rhino horns for sale. Unlike the small horns given by baby rhinos, it is the horn of adult rhinos.
In addition to the rhino horns, there was also a lot of rhino skins, which made Lu Qiu seriously puzzled. After selling the horns and skins of his companions, these rhinos didn't think there was any problem.
The rhino skin of the shoe was still peeled off in one piece, and there was almost no damage, which made her stunned. There are more than one here, and there are seven or eight of them. Where did so many rhinos come from
If she could communicate, she would probably know that this rhino was a dealer and would buy rhino skin from other rhinos. There are also many rhinos in the rhino group that cannot be enlightened. The lifespan of ordinary rhinos is not as long as that of intelligent animals, and their skins will be peeled off after old age and death.
The price of horns is much cheaper than that of skins. After all, horns can grow back after they are cut off, and after being cut off, they will grow faster next time. Therefore, if a rhino is short of money, he will save a little horn to sell.
The booth next door to the rhino is a brown bear. There were only two things on the bear's stand, a jar of wild honey and royal jelly.
He raised all the bees himself, and there was a large beehive next to him, and from time to time there were bees the size of fists crawling out and flying around.
At this moment, the brown bear was sitting lazily on the ground, holding a jar of honey in his arms, and holding a long thin spoon in his hand, digging the honey into his mouth one by one.
He ate casually, nibbling on his head, as if he was about to fall asleep in the next second.
Wells's eyes were just casually swept, but after thinking of something, he stepped back and looked at the jar with disgust for a while, his paws tapped on the edge of the jar, making a crisp sound.
The jar is a kind of glass-like material, and there are many marks on it that have not been wiped clean.
Wells frowned, sniffed again, and after confirming that it was honey that had not been wiped clean, he grabbed a jar.
"How much?"
"Five hundred beast coins."
Five hundred is too expensive, much more expensive than the price in the city store. Some animals that were passing by and moved around immediately retreated after hearing the price.
Wells was so wealthy that he didn't care about the price, he just tapped the jar with the tip of his claws: "Is it the best honey?"
Seeing that he really wanted to buy it, the brown bear moved his small ears and raised his black claws: "I am the best beekeeper around Big Rock City, all of which are pure local honey, without any additives. These are head honey, you see. The color, smell, and smell are definitely more than the ones sold in the store. Those are all processed, and they say they have a lot of things added. Who knows what it is. If you buy it, I will give you one. A portion of royal jelly is definitely worth it.”
As he said that, he took out another small can from under the booth. It was very small, about the size of Lu Qiu's slap. This amount is not enough for these giant beasts to swallow.
Wells didn't dislike it. He didn't expect that he would get a gift when he said something. He never negotiated the price, and he never asked too many Wells when buying things. He was a little happy for the first time.
It's a pity that Lu Qiu couldn't communicate smoothly yet. She was quite familiar with bargaining, and she might be able to teach Wells a good lesson.
Two more jars, one large and one small, were added to the bag. It will be a little heavy by now.
Lu Qiu turned his head to look, pulled the edge of the bag and motioned him to put it on his back, and sat on his back himself.
Wells shook his head: "No, it's not heavy."
If I can't get it, I can hire a unicorn and let them help send it to the aircraft. If you think they are not quick enough, there are many big birds circling around to work part-time and fast delivery. So Wells wasn't in a hurry at all.
Then, after walking through more than a dozen stalls in a row, he didn't see what he wanted to buy. Wells stopped and walked, and Lu Qiu kept looking around curiously.
She saw the white-eared rabbit she had seen in the distance.
Her stall is very close to the corner, the location is not very good, the front of the stall is quite deserted, and there are almost no animals near.
The thin black unicorn huddled motionless beside her, and it didn't seem to be with those outside.
The rabbit sat unhurriedly behind the booth, stroking the back of the unicorn with its paws from time to time, and the teeth made a slight grinding sound.
Lu Qiu looked at the things on her booth. There were quite a few small blankets made of rabbit fur, and the size was only 1.5 meters. For Lu Qiu, this size was just right, but for the many large animals here, such a A small blanket, maybe not enough for a butt, and too rough for a pup.
Occasionally, one or two smaller animals came to ask, and it seemed that the price was a bit high. After asking, they all shook their heads and walked away.
Rabbit bowed his head in disappointment.
The Unicorn touched her leg with her horn.
In addition to the small blanket, there was a pile of gray-white spherical objects next to it. Lu Qiu looked at it for a while but couldn't see what it was.
She wanted to go over a bit, but Wells stopped in place, unwilling to step forward.
"Wells, what's wrong?"
Wells didn't look very good.
"Don't buy that."
Lu Qiu blinked in confusion.
Wells said helplessly and earnestly: "It's not good to play with shit, it's unsanitary. Wait for me to buy you some other toys to play with, darling." He licked her forehead and cheek with his tongue.
Lu Qiu: "...???"
I don't understand, what shit, nothing!
Those gray-white spherical objects are rabbit poop, and dry rabbits can be used as medicine. In addition to their names, they also have the effect of killing insects, detoxifying and treating hemorrhoids.
The place where this rabbit lives is relatively remote, and the surrounding area is very dangerous. The pharmaceutical factory will hardly go there to buy it. She has been planning for a long time this time, and brought all the hoarding goods at home.
Now that Wells was unwilling to step forward, Lu Qiu had no choice but to glance at the fluffy and soft fur of the white rabbit.
I originally wanted to take the opportunity to touch it, but this one looks really good to touch, especially the little round tail. Pity.
Moving on, Lu Qiu saw the Hanyang he had previously paid attention to at the place next to Xiatiao Street.
He was unpacking the bags and dumping them on the booth. In front of him was a crowd of customers, completely covering the sky. It was almost impossible to see what was being sold at the booth, which contrasted sharply with the depression in front of the rabbit booth.
It's amazing that most of Hanyang's customers are birds, and all kinds of birds are rushing to his booth. These birds have a bag that is about to be bigger than their body hanging around their necks. After shopping, the birds fly out with their chests up and carrying their bulging pockets. It may be because there are too many things hanging, and they will not fly as high as they can. Earlier, one flew into the air, and the wobbly one almost fell.
Previously, Lu Qiu saw that the Hanyang let the round bird eat wheat. Could it be that it was also sold? She patted Wells' paw curiously and told him to go to the stall.
When Wells approached, standing in front of them was a big rooster with red crest, white hair and black tail. This big rooster croaked loudly and rushed in with flapping wings. The neat hair on the body was squeezed all up, and there was no image at all.
In fact, what he said in his mouth was: "Give me ten pounds! I want ten pounds!"
But Lu Qiu couldn't hear anything, and he couldn't see the things being sold at the stall for the time being.
All her attention was on the big cock, her coveted gaze from his comb over his wings to his thighs to his powerful claws.
Tiger Skin Wind Claw Chestnut Roast Chicken Cola Chicken Wings Rooster Stir-fried Chicken Intestines Braised Chicken…
The drool dripped from his mouth and landed on Wells' paw.
He looked down suspiciously, and found that Lu Qiuzheng was staring at the loud rooster in front of him, gulping, as if he wanted to eat it.
I also make chicken at home on weekdays. Why haven't I seen small pets so greedy? Are they hungry
Looking up at the sky, it was noon and it was time for lunch.
Then go have chicken for lunch today.
Wells thought about it, and didn't care too much about Lu Qiu's staring at the big cock, after all, her eyes were completely predatory and not threatening.
The big rooster finally grabbed ten pounds of things and came out. After coming out, the hair on his body was even more disheveled, but he didn't care at all, he just carried the bag with his wings and walked out contentedly.
Lu Qiu's eyes shifted slightly, and after seeing the contents of the bag, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Although the color is not the same, this thing is definitely not wheat, it seems to be rice? !
Life is incomplete without rice!
Lu Qiu's eyes were brighter than before!
"Ah, rice, go buy it, let's go in!"
She was so excited that she almost broke free from the arms of the giant cat. Wells was almost caught off guard by her sudden arrival.
For a person who likes to eat more rice than noodles, rice is the whole of life. After coming to this world, he has eaten meat, vegetables and fruits for too long. Even if he is full, he recalls it as if he was not full.
The business is very good. Hanyang brought a scooter and most of the goods have been sold so far, mainly because there are too many birds. Although there are other foods to eat, this taste is good and nutritious, and the price is not expensive. Green rice is still their first choice.
Lu Qiu was afraid of being bought out, so he tried to rush forward again. Wells understood her urgency, and as soon as his head lowered, he resisted the bird's butt in front of him and rushed in.
This act instantly caused a flutter of wings and bird scolding, and a few of them would have left the bird poop on him if it hadn't obstructed the rules.
"What are you doing! Do you know how to queue up, why are you so rude!"
"You... ah, it's a cat!"
As soon as they saw it was a cat, most of the birds hurriedly shut their mouths before they could say anything.
Almost all the birds that can be here are not too big and not very strong, and they are very in awe of cats, which are considered natural enemies.
Squeezing to the front, Lu Qiu grabbed a green rice grain about the size of a peanut and bit it. The taste was extremely sweet, but it really tasted like rice.
"Buy, buy, buy!"
Lu Qiu almost fell on the rice pile with his big arms.
I used to eat it every day and didn't think it was good, but now when I see it, I can't wait to take it home and eat it slowly.
Wells gently pulled her up, and said to Hanyang lightly: "I want all of them."
Since small pets like it so much, of course they bought them all.
Anyway, rich and willful.
As soon as he heard that he wanted the whole package, all the birds around him that had not been caught suddenly turned their heads, and the resentment shot out of his eyes almost drowned him.
At this time, they could no longer be afraid, and they all shouted at each other.
"What's wrong with your cat!"
"It's amazing to have money! Can you cover it all with money?!"
The author has something to say: The ox starling (niu liang niao) suddenly felt so cruel to those who did not distinguish between nl
