Chapter 242 Minmin
Before leaving, Zhang Yuan left Shuisheng some gold and silver.

This gold and silver was obtained from the Brotherhood.

Although the quantity is not large, it is enough for the young man to live and practice for a long time.

It was Zhang Yuan’s last gift to him.

Zhang Yuan believed that with Shuisheng's intelligence and tenacity, as long as he did not die prematurely, his future would be bright.

After ending this relationship, Zhang Yuan quietly returned to Dachen Island.

He disguised himself again, changed his image and name, and then rented a small house on the island to live temporarily.

For more than ten days, he kept an eye on Chen Qi's nest through the red-eyed crows every day.

Chen Qi has a total of two bases on Dachen Island. Zhang Yuan wants to see if Yan Wushuang will come to find him.

As a result, he guarded for half a month, and except for a few suspected spies who came secretly, he didn't see anyone else.

Zhang Yuan was not surprised at all.

What kind of person is Yan Wushuang? He has been hiding in Damengze for more than ten years and is safe and sound. His scheming and tactics are definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Such a person will not make low-level mistakes!

As for these spies, Zhang Yuan did not alarm or contact them.

Because there is no way to be sure whether the other party is reliable.

Half a month later, Zhang Yuan gave up waiting.

He bought a small boat and headed for Nanli Island.

Nanli Island is one of the largest land islands in Damengze.

This island is the core settlement of the Min people, so it is also called Min Island.

Zhang Yuan suspected that Yan Wushuang was involved with Yan Min, so he decided to go to Nanli Island to inquire about the news.

See if you can find anything.

After walking along the water for several hours, a huge island appeared in his sight.

Nanli Island is not only very large in area, but also has mountains and forests, with spectacular peaks rising one after another.

Such islands are rare in Damengze and can be regarded as a Feng Shui treasure land.

It is said that the Min people have lived and multiplied on Nanli Island for hundreds of years and have always firmly controlled this large land island with rich resources.

Zhang Yuan drove the boat closer to the dock.

The Nanli Island Wharf is very large, with a large number of merchant ships, fishing boats and speedboats moored there. People are going up and down to carry goods, creating a bustling scene.

Zhang Yuan found a gap and parked his boat.

As soon as he came to the shore, two Min people wearing black shirts and wearing scimitars at their waists came over.

The clothing of the Min people is unique and very easy to identify.

Men usually wear black robes with Vermilion Bird patterns embroidered on the collar, cuffs or trouser legs.

The woman wore a plain white dress, silver jewelry on her head and a red belt around her waist.

"Do you have an ID card?"

A Minmin stared at Zhang Yuan coldly, as if examining a criminal suspect: "What do you want to do in Nanli?"

Zhang Yuan replied calmly: "No, I'm here to buy medicinal herbs."

Nanli Island is rich in timber, herbs, copper and iron ore, and the people do not prohibit outsiders from coming to the island to do business.

That’s why there are so many merchant ships and cargo ships in the dock area.

Zhang Yuan had already inquired about it before coming here.

His current identity is a solo medicinal herb dealer.

In order to hide his cultivation level, Zhang Yuan deliberately controlled the true qi in his dantian and stimulated his strength to increase his body size.

Make himself look more like a burly man with the third level of Hua Jin cultivation.

This is a skill he learned from "Jianghu Lu".

Of course, such a disguise would not be able to fool masters of the same level.

But it is impossible for a fourth-level warrior to serve as a dock guard.

The two Min people looked at each other, and the other one coughed and said, "Five taels of silver for the island identification card." Five taels of silver?

As soon as Zhang Yuan heard it, he knew the other party was blackmailing him.

He smiled and said, "How many times can it be used?"

If the other party answered once, Zhang Yuan would turn around and leave.

At worst, I can come back at night and sneak onto the island.

It's not that he can't afford it.

But you must never be such a sucker!
Na Min hesitated for a moment and replied, "Since this is your first time here, I will give you an ID card that is valid for one month, but you must pay five taels of silver!"

He looked like he had Zhang Yuan in his grasp!
Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment, with a reluctant look on his face, he took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to the other party.

In return, I received a wooden sign with red letters on a black background.

“This sign must be hung on the island.”

Min Min reminded: "Come to me to exchange it after it expires, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

After saying this, he and his companions strode away with their heads held high.

Zhang Yuan watched them check other people who came to the island, and then hung the wooden sign around his waist.

Nanli Island is vast, most of which is mountains covered with dense forests. The people of Nanli built an extra-large fortress in the plain area in the southwest as their home.

There are a large number of bamboo houses and wooden houses in this fortress, and the architectural style is completely different from that of Dachen Island.

It has a strong exotic flavor.

Most of the pedestrians on the road were ethnic minorities. The men were strong and sturdy, the women were graceful and charming, and there were also children wearing open-crotch pants running barefoot on the stone slabs.

There are houses of different heights on both sides of the road. An old man sits under the eaves smoking a pipe, and a woman beside him is weaving cloth with her head down. It is full of the atmosphere of life, but there are no shops or workshops to be seen.

Continuing to walk inside, Zhang Yuan saw the earthen building with the most characteristics of the Jing ethnic group.

This circular building was similar to the Hakka earthen buildings in Fujian Province that he had seen in his previous life. It was tall and solid, like a fortress.

In front of the earth building is a large open-air market!

There are no shops on Nanli Island, and all transactions are completed in this big market.

There are countless stalls of all sizes here, and many foreign merchants are doing business with local people.

Zhang Yuan walked around the market with great interest, browsing the goods displayed on the stalls.

The items sold by the Min people are mainly medicinal materials, animal bones, copper and iron metals, jade, as well as cloth and various food ingredients.

There were many things he had never seen.

As he walked, Zhang Yuan stopped in front of a street stall.

This stall sells all kinds of medicinal herbs, and they look high-end, including several pieces of processed wild ginseng.

Zhang Yuan didn't expect that ginseng was actually produced here.

So he squatted down and pointed at one of the wild ginsengs: "How much is this ginseng?"

This ginseng is of good quality and is about forty to fifty years old.

Wild ginseng is very effective in nourishing qi and blood.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan always keeps a few with him for emergency use.

The stall owner was a skinny middle-aged man. He blinked and looked at Zhang Yuan, then opened his palm and shook it: "Fifty taels of silver."

Zhang Yuan was a little surprised when he heard the other party's offer.

Because a similar piece of wild ginseng would cost at least one hundred and eighty taels of silver in Xiaxu!

Here it's less than one-third of the price.

A bit too cheap.

Out of caution, he asked again: "Is this the fifty taels of silver?"

The middle-aged Min Min grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellowed and uneven teeth: "Yes, it's fifty taels!"

Zhang Yuan immediately decided: "Then I want it."
