Qin Mu was puzzled. Why would touching a sweat towel bring bad luck and bring bad luck for three years?
However, the texture of this' sweat towel 'was soft and smooth to the touch. It had a natural fragrance and was indeed good for wiping sweat. It should be made from a special kind of silk and was very expensive. It was hard to see such a high quality fabric in Great Ruins.
Qin Mu stuffed the sweat towel into his chest and played with Junior Protector Sword and its scabbard in delight.
The top half of the scabbard of Junior Protector Sword was gold in color and was decorated with jade and pearls. The mouth of the scabbard was carved with the mouth of a fish dragon. The place where the fish dragon opened its mouth was where the treasured sword would be unsheathed.
The bottom half of the scabbard was silver without any decorations or carvings. The tail of the scabbard was carved with the tail of a fish dragon which was also gold in color.
Ding.
Qin Mu returned the sword back to the scabbard and his vital qi poured into the scabbard. Junior Protector Sword was unsheathed once again and when it was unsheathed, a huge fish dragon appeared from the scabbard and leaped to his head, spitting out a sword with its mouth wide open.
Qin Mu raised his hand and pulled out the sword from the fish mouth, feeling refreshed.
"This scabbard is indeed good stuff, it can actually manifest a fish dragon!"
He returned the sword back to the scabbard and the fish dragon swallowed Junior Protector Sword, disappearing into the scabbard.
Qin Mu was overjoyed and poured his vital qi into the scabbard once again. The fish dragon reappeared and spat out Junior Protector Sword. He pulled out the sword and inserted it back into the fish mouth, fusing the fish dragon with the scabbard once again.
He played with it over and over again and Blind couldn't help but say, "Mu'er, stop playing. Your granny has gotten a few more animals for you to herd. These few cows will be brought to Border Dragon City to sell tomorrow. "
Qin Mu acknowledged and immediately returned to the village. He brought the six bullocks out of the village to herd and was bewildered, "Granny had already sold all the animals in the village some time ago so why are there six more cows now? Where did these cows come from? "
When he walked out of the village, he saw Village Chief, Apothecary, Mute and the rest gathered together to discuss something. Cripple sat at one side and took apart a black banner. He threw the banner to Old Ma to use as a curtain for his carpenter's shop and the pole of the black banner to Madam Si to herd the chickens.
The next day, Qin Mu hitched up the ox cart and Madam Si smiled, "Mu'er, come with us to the city this time."
Qin Mu was surprised and delighted. He immediately carried Junior Protector Sword, Pig Slaughtering Knife, bamboo cane, iron hammer and all the other items on his back and jumped onto the cow cart. Blind walked over leisurely and sat on the left and right of Madam Si on the cow cart.
The cart was loaded with some ironware made by Mute, as well as a few piles of strange beast furs that Old Ma, Cripple, and Qin Mu had hunted for. There were also two goats that were tied up and placed among the goods.
There were three big yellow bulls tied to the front of the ox cart. They were very strong, and there were three more tied to the back of the cart.
The young man waved his whip. The big yellow ox blinked innocently and walked out of the village.
This was his first time entering the city, so he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He was so excited that he felt as if his body was about to fly. He didn't notice the innocent eyes of the big yellow ox and the goats.
Border Dragon City was a thousand miles away from Remnant Old Village, therefore entering the city was a big matter. However, Great Ruins was desolate and the land route wasn't easy to travel. They had to first take the water route and then walk over ten miles on land to reach Border Dragon City.
Qin Mu drove the cart to the side of Surging River and saw Cripple pitching a huge bamboo raft beside the river. He carefully drove the ox cart onto the bamboo raft and Cripple untied the rope. The bamboo raft then floated down the river at a faster and faster speed.
Even with this speed, they still needed four to five days to reach Border Dragon City.
After floating for over forty miles, Blind used his bamboo cane to tap on the water surface and the bamboo raft instantly floated towards the shore.
Qin Mu didn't understand what he meant and raised his head to look at the shore. He saw that it was the direction of Grandma Temple. There were already many people from various villages gathered on the shore. Most of them were also driving ox carts and horse carriages as they waited by the river.
Surging River was treacherous and the current was rapid. Furthermore, there were many water monsters and ferocious big fish in the river. Therefore, the villagers from various villages would usually choose to head to Border Dragon City on the same day so that they could take care of each other.
The riverside was filled with bamboo rafts and there were still bamboo rafts sailing over from afar. Not long later, there were over a hundred bamboo rafts gathered here.
Blind took out a few incense sticks and lit them in the wind before sticking them on the riverside. The other villagers all went forward and stuck an incense stick on the riverside. The fragrant mist lingered on the riverside and floated towards the heart of the river with the breeze.
Suddenly, someone shouted a loud and clear chant. Following that, even more people started to sing loudly by the riverside. This was a river song and they were singing to worship the river god.
"Traveling the nine rivers with a woman, the wind raises the ripples of the water;
Riding on a water cart, the lotus cover, driving two dragons;
Ascending Kunlun, I look around, my heart soars, vast and mighty;
The sun is about to set and I forget to return, only the puddles are in my bosom;
… "
The ancient intonation reverberated through the nostrils and throats as numerous villagers sang together. Their voices were melodious and heroic. This scene made Qin Mu feel indescribably touched.
