Chapter 10 Mortgage Amber Pendant Laughing about robbing the ox cart
Princess Zixi hasn't slept for more than half a month, and she can sleep peacefully tonight, but as soon as she gets out of bed, a lot of love sprouts in her heart, lingering.
For a while, the shadow of the night left was dangling in front of me, the father's face flashed in my mind, and the next moment it was the bloody slaughter of the rattan armor guard, and the corpses were all over the field, and the next moment it was a huge locust spirit, rising up and down in the smoke miasma, which was terrifying.
She tossed and turned, hazy and asleep, and before she knew it, the dawn had pierced through the latticework of the window lattice, mottled and imprinted on her face.
After a night of careful consideration, Princess Zixi resolutely decided: no matter what happened in Tati Lake, she would go to Tati Lake to ask for troops and save her father and the Kejing people.
Yeli also stayed awake all night, and came to knock on the door early to call Princess Zixi. Princess Zixi just walked out of the dormitory, and the two came to the courtyard together, and after a simple wash, they didn't need breakfast, so they came to say goodbye to the hunchback.
Princess Zixi saluted and said: "Thank you Uncle for treating the two of us, this is a little meaning, and please ask Uncle to smile." ”
Saying that, Princess Zixi habitually touched the silver on her waist, but she couldn't touch a tael of silver, because she was in a hurry to get out of Stu City that day, and she didn't come out with her wallet. She couldn't help but panic there, and kept signaling for the night to leave.
Yeli was even more penniless, frowning, spreading his hands, looking embarrassed.
The hunchbacked man knew what Princess Zixi meant, and said with a smile: "You two don't have to be so polite, let's go back quickly." ”
Princess Zixi was very ashamed, and suddenly her face was happy. I saw that she was slightly sideburned, and she actually took off a pair of earrings and handed them to the hunchback: "Uncle: This is a pair of amber pendants, and you can exchange it for some silver, even if you thank Uncle!"
The amber pendant was as transparent as crystal, as bright as a pearl, and shimmered with a soft luster. The most rare thing is that the two pendants are similar in size, and there is a small insect curled up in each of them, which is really a wonderful rarity.
The hunchback man really looked at it, knowing that it was an expensive object, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, no...... This amber pendant is a lot of money! Take it back. ”
Princess Zixi said gently: "Uncle don't be polite, just accept it for the time being." But this is my mother's relic, and when I return, I will redeem it. ”
"No, no...... How can this be done!" The hunchbacked man still shook his hand, unwilling to accept such a valuable object.
Princess Zixi suddenly said solemnly: "Since I have spoken, how can I lose my trust? Uncle doesn't accept it, I am always uneasy in my heart." With that, he put the amber pendant in the palm of the hunchback, and limped out of the courtyard gate.
Ye Li caught a glimpse of this scene, and his heart overturned the five-flavor bottle, which was not a good taste: he remembered that he had broken his trust and wanted to kill people for a few bowls of rice.
The hunchback man was holding the amber pendant and was about to catch up, but Yeli suddenly stopped him and said: "This amber pendant is just a temporary collateral, and it will naturally be redeemed with silver when the time comes, so you can keep it for the time being, uncle." ”
After speaking, Yeli walked quickly and chased after Princess Zixi.
"It's... This... This girl...... Is... What a good girl......" The hunchbacked man grasped the amber pendant tightly, praised it leisurely, and suddenly hurried out of the courtyard, and shouted, "Girl: I will keep it for you for the time being, and you will have to come back to get it then." ”
When the words fell, he saw the two of them walking in the direction of Tati Lake, and the hunchbacked man couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly shouted again: "Girl! You can't go to Tati Lake! You can't go to Tati Lake......
But the two of them didn't seem to hear the warning, let alone look back, and disappeared at the bend of the hut in front of them.
The hunchbacked man clutched the amber pendant with both hands and stood on the village road in a daze.
When Princess Zixi and Yeli walked through the small village, they couldn't see a single figure, and the surroundings became more and more desolate.
Princess Zixi was lame step by step, and Yeli felt inexplicably pitiful, but she was embarrassed to take the initiative to carry her again, so she only gently supported her forward for half a minute.
And when Yeli's palm touched Princess Zixi's fragrant shoulders intentionally or unintentionally, she felt extremely warm, and her whole body seemed to constantly exude a faint body fragrance of her daughter's family.
Both are immersed in the wonderful pleasure of the opposite sex's initial attraction, regardless of the distance and danger ahead.
In a trance, a large green river lay in front of me, and there were several bamboo rafts across the ferry, and there was no ferry for the husband.
Yeli was very happy, and helped Princess Zixi to carefully step on a bamboo raft and sit down, and then casually picked up a penny and paddled the water, but the bamboo raft only circled in place and did not move forward.
Yeli was red-faced, but he was not embarrassed in front of Princess Zixi, the more he paddled the water, the faster the bamboo raft turned.
"This, this... What's going on, this... Why don't you go on this bamboo raft?"
Seeing this, Princess Zixi giggled and said, "Stupid, haven't you even rowed a bamboo raft?"
"No... Not... No. Yeli was at a loss for what to do, "How do you row?"
"You just tap the penny on both sides. Princess Zixi said.
"Oh, I'll try. Yeli replied as he plucked the penny left and right, and the raft really galloped forward slowly.
"Okay, okay!Yo-roar!Yo-roar!Yo-roar!Yo-roar......" Yeli was very excited, glanced at Princess Zixi, kept shouting in his mouth, and quickly clicked the penny.
The bamboo raft broke through the waves, paddled a white sparkling waterway, and galloped quickly to the opposite shore.
Because of the great drought and lack of rain, the river has fallen, so the river has become much narrower. The white sand on both sides of the strait reflects the sun, like a jade dragon winding out, and the reeds fluttering in the wind like snow in the distance, a charming and charming scenery.
Princess Zixi sat on the bamboo raft, raised her delicate face slightly, spread her slender jade hands, kept catching the flying reeds, and reveled in the beautiful natural scenery.
The bamboo raft floated on the green water, and it had already reached the ferry port on the other side.
Ye Lifu helped Princess Zixi to slowly get off the bamboo raft, and if Princess Zixi was reluctant, she looked back frequently.
On the embankment, when you look up, you can see a stone tablet erected on the ba, vaguely engraved with the three seal characters of "Baishadu".
Princess Zixi limped her right leg, forgetting her melancholy and troubles, and shouted happily: "Tatihu!
Ye Li didn't know how much hardship and bitterness were contained in these words, and when he saw Princess Zixi happy, he also accompanied her to keep shouting.
But after looking around for a long time, except for the reeds swaying like snow, and not seeing the light and shadow of a lake, Yeli asked, "Where is Tati Lake?"
"Stupid!" Zixi scolded with a grin, "It's still early! It's still more than a hundred miles from here." ”
"Alas...... So what are you happy about?" Yeli grumbled.
"I'm just happy!" Zixi finished speaking, laughing like a silver bell, while limping his right leg, spreading his arms, catching the reed flowers flying in the air, that appearance is extremely heart-wrenching.
The night was infected for a while, and as Princess Zixi caught the reed flowers, bursts of laughter floated in the blue sky.
The two of them ran and ran, and ran and ran, ran out of the road for a mile, and entered a village ruin.
But I saw that this village ruins have tiled houses, there are thatched huts, high and low, scattered, there are three or five people from time to time, coming and going, the scene is very different from the village on the other side, but those people are still yellow-faced, hungry, and hungry.
Suddenly, a walled house was revealed not far in front, and an ox cart was parked outside the door of the house, and there were two Zhuang Ding standing next to the ox cart holding a simple knife. Another fat landowner, with a bullwhip in his hand, was about to pedal into the car.
Overjoyed to see him in the night, he hurried over and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey...... Slow down, slow down, ......"
Princess Zixi was taken aback, and didn't know what she was going to do in the night, so she limped and followed.
When the landlord heard the call, he looked up and saw that they were two strangers, the man with the sword on his back and the woman with the sword, knowing that he was not the master to be messed with. He stood on the ox cart and said, "Hey, what's hey, what's that you're calling?"
Yeli hurriedly approached and said with a smile: "Come on, come on...... Come and take a step to speak, I have something important to discuss with you. ”
"Who are you kid? I don't know you, what is there to discuss? Hurry up, I'm busy, sir." The landowner whipped impatiently.
"It seems that the lord doesn't want to get rich?"
"Get rich? Who said that I don't want to get rich, sir?" I want to get rich in my dreams!" The landlord has always seen the world rarely, and his mind is closed and stupid, and when he hears the word "get rich," his eyes burst out with brilliance.
"It's easy to say...... Now I'll make a deal with you, and I'll keep you for a windfall. Yeli nodded frequently.
"Buying and selling?" The landowner's eyes widened in disbelief.
"How much silver can you sell for this ox-cart? I'll hurry up to-day and buy it for double the price." What do you think?"
The landlord pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Double the price? ”
"How about five times!" Yeli suddenly raised his right hand and opened his five fingers.
Zixi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd at night: he was penniless but wanted to buy the landlord's ox cart, and he talked about it seriously, and it seemed that he would not give up if he didn't buy it, which really made people laugh. So she stood aside, pursed her lips and smiled, and watched what was going on.
The price of cars suddenly rose fivefold, and the landlords' minds became lively. He secretly said happily: This is the way to the God of Wealth, and he will send silver early in the morning. This luck has come, and I can't get rich if I don't want to!, but it seems that this kid is really in dire need of an ox cart, so I will raise the price a little more.
After secretly thinking about it, the landlord raised his voice and asked, "Boy, do you really want to buy my ox cart?"
"Of course, of course... I'm waiting for a hurry! Who has the time to talk nonsense with you. Yeli replied crisply.
"In that case, you kid will give you ten times the price. The landlord opened his mouth widely, and while blinking his mung bean eyes and staring at Yeli's reaction.
The landlord was about to take Zhuang Ding to collect rent early in the morning, but before he went out, he bumped into this big deal, and he was so happy that he even jumped out of his fart, and secretly laughed at Yeli as an illiterate owner: The scalper with the frame can be sold for nearly one or two pieces of silver, which has increased tenfold, isn't it a big windfall?
So he said happily: "Boy: Seeing that you are a foreigner, I don't count you, you just give nine taels of silver." ”
"Okay, good ......" The night was overjoyed, and Princess Zixi looked very proud.
Zixi smiled slightly, did not speak, and said secretly: Look at what you give to others!
Yeli said it in a dignified and generous manner, but he didn't mean to pay the money. The landlord hurriedly said, "Where is the silver? ”
Yeli rolled up his cuffs and said with a big grin: "You go back to the house and get a pen and paper, and I'll set up a note for you." It is written that on a certain day, a certain month, and a certain year, I owe you nine taels of silver, and then write my name for leaving at night, and in a few days I will exchange real gold and real silver. ”
Hey, hey, Yeli actually came up with this idea!
It was about Zixi who mortgaged the amber pendant that reminded Yeli, but he really didn't have anything to mortgage inside and outside (except for the demon slashing knife), so he thought of this evidence.
When the landlord heard this, he was so angry that his mung bean's eyes and bones were rolling, and black smoke was coming out of his body: "Phew, where did you come from, a wild boy, who came to make fun of the old man early in the morning. ”
In a fit of rage, the landlord swiped the bullwhip with a "snap".
Yeli grabbed it with his hand and said loudly: "Manly man, once you say it, it's hard to chase the horse! Why don't you believe me Yeli?"
The princess Zixi next to her covered her mouth and smiled, bent the flower branches, and said brightly: "Night away, don't mess around! Let's go in a hurry." ”
Yeli still grabbed the bullwhip and didn't let go: "Natatihu is still more than a hundred miles away from here, how can you walk? If you don't buy this ox cart, when will it go!"
Princess Zixi heard it clearly: It turned out that it was for my sake! She couldn't help but be moved in her heart: "You...... But you don't have any money, how can you buy this ox cart? ”
"Aren't I about to sign a signature?"
"But do people believe you?" Princess Zixi retorted angrily and funny.
"I don't believe it! I'm going to buy this bullock cart. "Yeli still insisted.
When the landlord heard what the two said, he knew that this kid was a young man, and he would be entangled if he didn't make a ruthless move, so he simply threw away the bullwhip, jumped off the ox cart, and grabbed Yeli's chest with his left hand, and his right hand was ready to beat him.
Unexpectedly, Yeli reached out and pinched the landlord's left hand, and with a twist, he turned the landlord's arm to his back.
Before the landlord could start beating people, he had already howled like a pig, but he was grabbed by Yeli and twisted his arm so much that it was about to break.
The two Zhuang Ding hurriedly Pu Dao up, but before they could do anything, they were kicked to the ground by Yeli's legs, and they screamed and couldn't get up.
