Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family
Chapter 162 New Trading City
"I wonder what's going on between you two..." Cheng Mo sighed, crossed his arms and leaned back, looking at Xiong Wu's unconvinced look and asked, "Did he steal the person you like or demolish your house? You two quarrel whenever you meet."
Xiongwu sat on the table angrily and shook his head: "Nothing! I just don't like him!"
Cheng Mo held his forehead and sighed: "How come you are more childish than children! My baby... children are more mature than you."
Xiongwu slapped his thigh and shouted, "What? Don't you think that guy has a sullen face every day, as if someone owes him something? It makes me angry just by looking at him! He also scolds me every day! He is polite to others, but scolds me!"
"I'm scolding you because you're always making a fuss." The voice of another person involved came from outside the door. Hen Yi, whose right hand had not recovered from a fracture, walked in and nodded to Cheng Mo. Then, when he saw Xiong Wu sitting on the table, his face changed and he said, "Get down! Don't you know how heavy you are? This table is going to collapse under your weight!"
Xiongwu rolled his eyes at him, but still jumped down from the table obediently, then pointed at Hen Yi and said, "See? He is like this! I am the captain of the hunting team, why should he control me? And he is so mean to me every time!"
Hen Yi looked at him helplessly, then explained to Cheng Mo: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I'm just worried that he will get hurt. After all, he is always so impulsive and does things without thinking."
Xiongwu was unhappy again when he heard this and retorted: "How am I impulsive? I'm brave! Besides, I always have a plan when doing things!"
Hen Yi sneered: "Plan? Your so-called plan is to rush up and beat them up?"
"What else? When we encounter an enemy, we must strike first!" Xiongwu said righteously.
Cheng Mo watched the two of them arguing, feeling overwhelmed. He rubbed his temples and said, "Okay, okay, stop arguing. I think you should communicate well and express your ideas to each other, so that you can solve the problem."
Hen Yi and Xiong Wu looked at each other, then turned their heads away at the same time. Seeing this, Cheng Mo shook his head helplessly, thinking that these two people were really a pair of happy enemies.
Cheng Mo carefully examined Hen Yi's hand and asked with concern: "How is the recovery?"
Hen Yi smiled and nodded in response: "I have recovered very well. Now my fingers can move freely."
Cheng Mo felt relieved when he saw this, then turned his gaze to the still angry and unhappy Xiongwu, and suggested: "Then I'll let you go to the trade market and let Hen go to the hunting team?"
Hearing this, Xiongwu's expression suddenly turned ugly, and he muttered hesitantly: "This is not good..."
Cheng Mo sighed and explained earnestly: "If you plan to replace him to go to the trade market, then the hunting team will be without a leader. You must arrange a suitable person to lead the team."
After hesitating for a moment, Xiongwu replied helplessly: "Then...then forget it..."
Cheng Mo waved his hand helplessly and signaled them to leave: "Okay, okay! You two hurry out and solve this problem by yourselves!" As the two walked farther and farther away, Cheng Mo could even vaguely hear bursts of shouting from the ferocious crow. He couldn't help but sigh again, and turned to look out the window, as if thinking about something.

The day the trade market opened, the sun was shining and the place was bustling. Cheng Mo, curious, strolled through the trade market with the bustling crowd. The trade market was located near the God Punishment Tribe. The orcs were always full of awe for this mysterious and sacred land. Unless they were brave, no orc was willing to cause trouble nearby.
As Cheng Mo walked, he carefully observed the dazzling array of items on the stalls. As exchanges and cooperation between tribes became more frequent, more and more novel things began to appear in different tribes. At this time, he was attracted by a strange leaf and couldn't help but reach out to pick it up and asked, "Boss, what is this?"
Seeing this, the orc at the stall came over quickly, with a friendly smile on his face, and explained enthusiastically: "Oh, this leaf grows near our tribe! After drying it, soak it in water and drink it. The taste is very strong and it makes you feel very energetic. We usually call it green buds because only the young buds are the best to drink when soaked in water."
Cheng Mo turned the small leaf in his hand over and over again. The leaf was dark green, slender and flexible, and exuded a faint fragrance.
He asked, "Do you have any dried leaves here that I can take a look at?"
The orc boss turned around, picked up a ceramic cup on the table and handed it to Cheng Mo, saying, "I just made this. I haven't drunk it yet. You can try it, but don't drink too much, or you won't be able to sleep at night!"
Cheng Mo nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then he moved closer to the cup and sniffed it. Suddenly, a sweet aroma came to his nose, making it difficult to tell whether it was fruity or floral. The water in the cup showed a slight red hue, and through the clear liquid, he could clearly see the dried leaves floating leisurely in it. Cheng Mo took a sip carefully, and felt a gentle and sweet taste lingering on the tip of his tongue.
"Hmm... this tastes a bit like black tea." Cheng Mo commented after taking a sip.
Upon hearing this, the orc boss came forward curiously and asked, "Customer, do you know this kind of leaf?"
Cheng Mo smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "It just tastes a bit like black tea." Then, he pointed at the items on the stall and said generously, "I want all of these!"
The orc boss was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly began to pack up the items on the stall one by one, and then handed them to Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo took out a stack of coupons from his arms, counted a few and handed them to the orc boss.
After completing the transaction, the orc boss was in a particularly good mood - after all, this was his first deal of the day! So, he enthusiastically grabbed a few handfuls of dried roses and stuffed them into Cheng Mo's hands, smiling and recommending: "This kind of rose tastes quite good when used to soak in water, why don't you take it back and try it."
Cheng Mo gladly accepted the kindness, put the things into the backpack behind him, and continued to stroll leisurely.
The market was crowded with people, and everyone held the vouchers tightly in their hands. As long as they waited until the market closed, they could go to the booth at the city gate and exchange the vouchers for the items they liked and take them home. It must be said that this method of exchanging vouchers instead of physical objects really made everyone feel much more convenient.
