Green Willow twisted her eyebrows, lowered her head, turned away, and turned her back to the people who were pointing at her, although she knew that the other party had no malicious intentions, she still felt extremely flustered in her heart, and just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Lin Wan hooked her lips and smiled, didn't say anything, and waited for the crowd to disperse before taking Lu Liu's hand and continuing to walk forward.

Seeing that Xiangfu Street is coming to an end, Wang Qi and Fluttershy are not yet happy, standing in front of a small merchant's stall and waiting for Lin Wan and Luliu.

Lin Wan took two quick steps with the green willow and came to the stall of the little merchant.

I saw that there were all kinds of novel gadgets on the stall, there were walking puppets, flying carpentry birds, very delicate woodcarved villains, as well as various woodcarved houses, tables, chairs, teapots, etc., the most rare thing is a "small" word, some small objects are only the size of a fingernail, but they are impeccable.

Although Lin Wan had seen more magical miniature carvings than this, it was very rare to be able to do this in this era of simple tools. I couldn't help but smile slightly, and asked, "Little brother, are you doing all this yourself?

The little merchant showed his white teeth, smiled innocently, and said, "Yes, miss, these are all handicrafts handed down by the villain's family, and they are not as good as my grandfather and father, and the business is not as good as day by day." If you like it, buy some and go back to relieve boredom, I'm going to leave the capital tomorrow, Miss won't buy it this time, and I won't be able to buy it next time. ”

Lin Wan frowned and asked suspiciously, "Listening to your accent, it should be someone from the capital." Why are you leaving the capital? Where are you going?"

The little merchant sighed helplessly: "Our Lu family has lived in the capital for generations, but it's a pity that in my generation, the family is in the middle of the road, and even the house is now being confiscated." Therefore, I plan to leave the capital and go to other places to see if I can eat together. ”

Lin Wan was silent for a moment, and then slowly asked, "Are you willing to tell me, what is going on?" I think with your craftsmanship, you shouldn't be able to survive in the capital, right?"

Seeing that Lin Wan was interested in his story, the little merchant felt that there was nothing to hide, so he nodded and said, "If Miss is willing to listen, the villain will tell you about it." The villain's name is Lu Chen, and he is the nineteenth generation of the Lu family. Our Lu family's carpenter shop used to be the most famous in the capital, and no one in the world could unlock the mechanism and Luban lock made by my father. The villain didn't boast that the champion building still uses the lock made by my father. ”

Lin Wan couldn't help but think of the lock that she saw in the Zhuangyuan Building that had no keyhole and no key, but could only be opened from the inside, but could not be pushed open from the outside, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she blurted out: "Is it the iron lock that can only be opened from the inside, not pushed from the outside?"

Lu Chen nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly, I didn't expect Miss to see the gentleman's lock." Only, it wasn't made of iron, it was made of iron, and the wood was very hard, and when it was painted, it looked like it was iron. ”

Lin Wan nodded suddenly, smiled slightly, and said, "I thought that kind of lock could only lock the gentleman, but it couldn't prevent the villain." It turns out that it's really called Junzi Lock, which is really an apt name. ”

Lu Chen smiled and said, "That lock was invented by my father, and the name was also chosen by him, and my father likes to invent these strange things the most." After a pause, he continued: "Everything was fine, but five years ago, two people from the rivers and lakes suddenly came and took my father away, and he has not returned. ”

Lin Wan couldn't help frowning, nodded slightly, and motioned for him to continue.

"My grandfather and mother have passed away in the past few years because of excessive grief. Over the years, in order to find my father and bury my grandfather, my mother has spent all the family's savings, and now I have mortgaged the house to a pawnshop in order to handle my mother's funeral. When it expires tomorrow, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop will come to collect the house, I am now alone in the capital, and I don't even have a house, what am I staying here for?" Lu Chen sighed lightly and lowered his head in frustration.

After listening to Lu Chen's story, everyone's mood was very heavy, and Fluttershy and Wang Qi, who were originally in high spirits, suddenly quieted down, their faces full of sympathy.

Lin Wan thought for a while and asked, "Lu Chen, how much silver do you owe to the pawnshop shopkeeper?"

Lu Chen was stunned, shook his head, and said, "Miss, maybe that silver is nothing to you, but I can't pay it back as a villain." Forget it, I'm just a little merchant from all over the world. Let's go, there's nothing to be reluctant to. ”

Lin Wan hooked his lips slightly, and asked lightly: "But, if one day, your father comes back and sees that the home is gone, and the family is gone, what will he do?"

Lu Chen's face changed, and he was very shocked in his heart, although this hope was very slim, but it was not completely impossible. Now, speaking from the mouth of the strange young lady in front of him, he felt very cowardly, and he was still looking for an excuse to escape from his incompetence.

Lin Wan looked at Lu Chen quietly, as if she had seen through his inner struggle, and patiently waited for his decision.

Lu Chen lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head again, walked in front of Lin Wan, knelt on his knees, kowtowed to Lin Wan, and said solemnly: "Miss, the villain knows that you are a kind person, please help me!

Lin Wan smiled slightly and said, "Get up quickly, I am willing to help you because I think you are worthy of my help, I hope you will not let me down, and I will not let your ancestors down." ”

Lu Chen looked up at Lin Wan, his eyes suddenly glowed with a positive and confident look, and he said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss!" said that, kowtowed again, and then stood up.

Lin Wan nodded slightly, and asked again, "How much silver do you owe to the pawnshop?"

Lu Chen no longer hesitated, and replied respectfully: "If Miss Hui is concerned, the villain owes a total of three hundred taels of silver to the pawnshop with interest." ”

Lin Wan nodded to Lu Liu, who took out a silver ticket from the money bag and handed it to Lin Wan. Lin Wan took the silver ticket and glanced at it, it was exactly three hundred taels, handed it to Lu Chen, and said, "This is three hundred taels of silver tickets, enough for you to pay back the pawnshop." You go and redeem your deed first, and arrange everything in the house. went to Tianxianglou to find Shopkeeper Ji, and said that Miss Lin Qi asked you to go, and he would help you. ”

Lu Chen took the silver ticket and said respectfully: "Yes, Miss, the villain obeys!"

Lin Wan nodded, didn't say anything more, and walked towards the carriage waiting by the side with Lu Liu, Qing Tong and the others.
