Chapter 101: Rock Sugar Gourd
"Chen'er, Chen'er, where are you, Chen'er?"
Su Kexin called Chen'er's name around, they were new to the city, they were not familiar with each other, once they lost the child, they might not be able to find it back in this life.
But there are more people around, Chen'er is small, mixed in the crowd, where to find him?
"Chen'er, where the hell are you?!"
Su Kexin was about to cry.
The child is her lifeline, the child is lost, how good is this, she will not be so flustered about other things, but the child can't.
Su Yuanhan's eyes were sharp, he was sitting in a wheelchair, and through the gap in the crowd, he saw a red villain not far in front of him at a glance.
"Mother, Chen'er is in front. ”
As he spoke, he pushed the wheelchair and walked forward quickly, with Su Kexin following closely behind.
Sure enough, Chen'er stood quietly in the middle of the road, he raised his head cutely, and looked at the string of rock sugar gourds in front of him and drooled.
Su Kexin let out a long sigh of relief and pinched his ears, "Chen'er, you're scared me to death, why are you running around if you don't follow your mother?"
"Mother, I want to eat sugar gourd. Chen'er said.
"Okay. Three-year-old children are always full of temptation for snacks on the street, Su Kexin took some copper plates from her side and said, "Uncle, how much is it to get three sugar gourds?"
The owner of the stall was an old man with a somewhat rickety figure, unkempt hair, a pale face, and the outstretched hand also chapped with a few bloody wounds, especially the lips turned up, revealing a mouthful of mottled yellow teeth, which made Su Kexin a little disgusted.
When he saw Su Kexin take out a few copper plates, he laughed dryly twice with a cracked mouth, and said, "This lady must not know the value of my sugar gourd, right? My sugar gourd sells for one hundred taels and a few copper coins of yours, I'm afraid you can't even buy a bamboo stick." ”
"What?"
Su Kexin thought she had misheard, "One hundred taels, uncle, what you sell is sugar gourds." ”
If one hundred taels is in the capital, it is enough to buy ten years of sugar gourds.
The old man rolled his eyes disdainfully, and said: "I naturally sell sugar gourd, this is located in a remote area, this hawthorn is scarce locally, naturally expensive, the weather here is humid, white sugar can not be preserved, the cost is too high, the most important thing is my secret formula, it is hard to find, this sells a hundred taels, it is reasonable, you can't afford it, just avoid it." ”
"I see you old man, you look easy-going, but you are such a profiteer. Sui Han couldn't stand it anymore and interjected.
The old man's eyes widened, "I'll sell it, if you don't buy it, you will step aside, and don't come to provoke me." ”
"You ......" Sui Han was not convinced, and wanted to reason with the old man, but Su Kexin stopped him and shook his head lightly at him, after all, this is Furong Town, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, this old man doesn't know what the background is, it's better not to cause trouble.
"Chen'er, the sugar gourd here is too expensive, shall we buy it after we return to the capital?"
But Chen'er looked straight at the string of sugar gourds and refused to leave.
Su Kexin was a little displeased, "Chen'er, be obedient." Let's go. ”
"No, mother, I'm going to eat sugar gourds. ”
Chen'er has always been sensible, but this time, she didn't know what evil she had committed.
"Chen'er. There were already curious glances from people around, Su Kexin couldn't hold her face, they had to stay in the holy land for a few days in the future, and she didn't have much on her body, she didn't dare to spend too much.
"The sugar gourds in the capital are big and sweet, and they are much smaller here, so they must not be delicious, so we don't want to eat them. ”
"No, mother, I know it's delicious, I'm going to eat it, I'm going to eat it!" Su Yuanchen stomped his foot anxiously.
Su Yuanhan saw that Su Kexin was a little embarrassed, so he came over and said, "Second brother, don't make trouble, let's wander outside, we have to save a little, one hundred taels is enough for our expenses for a month, how can I let you eat sugar gourd alone." ”
Nian'er took Su Kexin's hand, "Mother, let's go, ignore him, just let him drool while watching the sugar gourd here!"
"Mother's ......" Chen'er saw that Su Kexin was leaving, hugged Su Kexin's thigh, tears in her eyes, "Mother, don't go, I really want to eat sugar gourd, woo, I really want to eat it." ”
Although Chen'er is naughty on weekdays, she will never spill it on the street, but now because of a sugar gourd rolling on the ground, Su Kexin lost her face.
Looking at Chen'er's willful appearance, Su Kexin really wanted to slap her, but there were more and more onlookers around, and she really couldn't do it.
There was no way, she had to grit her teeth, took out five big ingots of silver from her arms, and handed them to the old man.
"I only have so much, so let's get one for now. ”
The old man laughed again, showing his mouth full of scorched teeth, and said: "Is this right, it is difficult to buy the best in your heart if you have money, this little baby loves to eat so much, you should have bought it for him a long time ago." ”
The old man removed the shiny sugar gourd from the shelf and handed it to Chen'er, who immediately burst into laughter, took it with both hands, gently stuck out his tongue, and licked it.
"It's so sweet, mother, you can take a bite too. ”
"I don't eat it. Su Kexin glared at him angrily.
"Nian'er, you eat too. ”
Nian'er turned her head away angrily, "Second brother, you are so disobedient, I don't want to eat your sugar gourd!"
Seeing that the whole family was angry with him, Chen'er was a little disappointed, but the more he looked at the sugar gourd, the more he liked it, and he didn't care about anything else, so he opened his mouth wide and bit it down.
A fragrance of a hundred fruits filled his mouth, and he chewed it happily twice, only to feel as if a heat wave rose in his throat and rushed straight into his brain!
Chen'er only felt that his eyes were swollen and painful, his ears were buzzing, he shook stiffly twice, and then his eyes went black, and he turned over and fell.
"Ah, Chen'er?"
For a while, Su Kexin and the two children were frightened.
"Chen'er, what's wrong with you?"
It's just that I ate a piece of sugar gourd, could it be that I was poisoned?
"Don't go!" Su Kexin grabbed the old man's sleeve and cried: "You old man, what are you giving my son to eat? ”
The old man stroked his beard gently, but said with a smile: "Fate, fate." ”
Saying that, her sleeves flicked, Su Kexin only felt that her hands were empty, and her sleeves had slipped off, and when she looked up again, the old man was gone.
Ran away?
On the ground, only the old man's bamboo frame with a rock sugar gourd was left, Su Kexin reached over and picked up the bamboo frame, and at the moment when the bamboo frame was in hand, suddenly, the blue light flashed, Su Kexin only felt that her eyes were bright, and the bamboo frame became a long sword with cold light.
The light swam on the sword, with a hint of murderous aura.
She was stunned, her hand on the hilt of the sword, only to feel a cold qi on the sword body surging down her arm and towards her body!
The exercises she practiced were originally the Nine Abyss Cold Howling Exercises, which also belonged to the genus of Qi Cold, but now this cold air is clear and cold, straight into its marrow, like a clear spring purifying, making her whole body feel refreshed.
She flipped her wrist and saw two words engraved on the sword with a peach blossom seal, Qingshuang.
