Chapter 43: The Flesh of the Monster
Shu Shu's whole heart was about to jump out, and the little monster looked at her with desolation in his eyes. Not far away, there were elves or little monsters in cages, and they were all kept in cages. And the top of this cage is also pasted with a diamond-shaped copper plate. They looked into the distance motionless with mournful eyes.
A small boss walked over and looked at them with a smile and said, "Why do you want a little monster for the three of you?" My monster is not only obedient but also able to speak, which can relieve boredom and amuse...... You can also turn into a humanoid and have fun, do you want one?"
Shu Shu was so frightened that she stood there motionless, she didn't expect that the demon hunter in the world was so powerful, and he would catch so many elves, as well as a few monsters. Humans can't tell what elves are and what are youkai, and they think that these elves are just as damned as youkai, so they are locked up here.
"Boss, what kind of monsters are these? I think they are so docile, could they be elves?"
The boss looked at Shu Shu and immediately said with a smile: "Girl, what you say they are, they are what they are! They will do whatever you ask them to do, as long as five taels of silver, how about taking two back?"
Sister Liu next to her immediately pulled Shu Shu and said, "Don't listen to him, who dares to ask for this dirty thing? Unless those dignitaries buy it back to eat meat, how can ordinary people dare to raise these things." It's disgusting to watch, let's go. ”
Shu Shu asked a little incomprehensibly, "Sister Liu, why do you say that? They look cute, and they are pitiful, why do you think they are disgusting?"
Sister Liu sighed and said helplessly: "They do look a little cute, but you don't know that our place is next to the Spirit Domain, and it stands to reason that there should be more elves." But I don't know why we barely see the elves, but all we see are youkai, and they look fierce and vicious. But I heard that the meat was delicious, but I haven't eaten it, and I'm inexplicably terrified just looking at these monsters. “
The boss said a little unhappily: "What are you afraid of? These are meek monsters, I can tell you, don't talk nonsense!"
Sister Liu seemed to suddenly realize something, and bowed her head and apologized again and again: "This boss is really embarrassed, let's go." ”
After speaking, Sister Liu pulled Shu Wei and Shu Shu to move forward, but Shu Shu and Shu Wei seemed to be fixed in place, and they couldn't pull it no matter how they pulled it. Shu Wei's expression looked even more angry, as if someone had borrowed her money and didn't pay it back.
"Shu Wei, what are you two doing, we still have to buy some food, we still don't want to eat this monster's meat, it's too expensive. ”
Shu Wei's brows tightened tightly and said, "Shu Shu, how much money do you have left?"
Shu Shu looked at his money bag and said helplessly: "I still have one or two silver left here, and Sister Liu's silver is almost spent, but Shu Wei, don't be impulsive, grandpa knows that it's time to scold us again." ”
Shu Wei looked at these elves in front of her with grief in her eyes. They have no resentment, they should not have harmed human lives at all, but these humans have imprisoned them. And eating their flesh in such a cruel way made her unconsciously angry.
She walked up to the boss and pointed to a little white fox and said, "How much does this guy cost?"
The boss immediately praised Shu Wei and said: "It's still a girl's good eyesight, this little fox is spiritual, don't look at her as just a fox, in fact, she can talk, and this fur, you can touch this feel, this is a first-class white fox." If you want, I'll sell it to you cheaper, five taels of silver!"
"A tael of silver!
The boss immediately said loudly: "This girl, I don't think you are sincere in buying things! The price you gave is too little, if you sincerely want it, you can add more! I will sell it to you if you add more!"
Shu Wei's brows were clenched into fists, and she clenched and creaked. She couldn't wait to step forward and beat that boss into a pig's head! Let him still bully these elves, but she understood what the situation in the world was not clear to her, and now that she did it, grandpa would definitely punish her in various ways, and she still had to endure it.
Sister Liu, who was next to her, tugged at Shu Wei's sleeve and said, "Let's go buy food first, otherwise everyone will be hungry at night." One tael of silver is too expensive, and we can buy a lot of steamed buns. ”
The shopkeeper said with some displeasure: "Why is your eldest sister so unpleasant, my little fox is genuine, even if it is a fur, it is more than a tael of silver, you will definitely make a profit if you buy it back!"
Sister Liu pulled Shu Wei and was about to leave, but Shu Shu took out the silver and took the little fox out of the cage. Seeing the little fox in her arms trembling with nervousness, she smiled and stroked the little fox's fur a few times.
"Boss, a tael of silver, took it for us. After speaking, she had to remove the diamond-shaped copper coin from her body. The boss immediately came over and grabbed her hand and said, "Girl, you must not take this thing down, this can be a spell to control such a monster, if you take it down and he runs away, you can't blame me, I won't return the money to you." “
Shu Wei nodded and said, "Thank you boss for the reminder, I know." ”
After speaking, she hugged the little fox and followed Sister Liu and Shu Wei to go back. Along the way, Shu Wei's expression looked very complicated, she kept looking at the little thing in Shu Shu's arms, and there was a little more puzzlement in her eyes. She said in a very small voice:
"Eldest sister, what are you thinking? This fox must also be an elf, let's go back and let grandpa deal with it." ”
Shu Wei nodded and said, "Okay, I didn't expect that these elves and monsters in the world would be so bad now, and it would be a shame to be played with by humans and applauded." ”
Sister Liu looked at Shu Wei and Shu Shu's expressions and looked serious, she said helplessly: "I think it's strange, why is this little fox so cheap, even if it is a dead fox's corpse on weekdays, it costs one or two silver, and the living ones are basically five taels of silver, this boss looks weird." ”
Shu Shu looked at the sun that was about to set, and the setting sun shone on Sister Liu's face, she looked very simple. It didn't look like a lie.
"Anyway, the little fox is fine, let's go home quickly. ”
Sister Liu looked at the things they were carrying and shook her head helplessly, this time the daily necessities were almost bought, plus what was originally at home should be enough, but the food was not bought. Looks like they're going to go hungry at night.
The pale yellow sunset shone on this quiet little courtyard, and several children's laughter could be heard in the courtyard. When she walked in, a child who had just walked came over crookedly, and Sister Liu immediately went over and hugged him in her arms and said, "Little baby, my mother is back." ”
