Chapter 0563 - Butcher's Shop
"You...... Then you just ......" Charlotte was surprised by Tiantian's expression at this moment, and couldn't help but stutter.
"Silly boy, she lied to you just now! I didn't expect you to be so easy to deceive!" Old Tang raised his head and said, "If my daughter is so easily deceived by you, then I dare to bring you to my house?" Don't think I don't know what your kid has in mind, tell you, don't even think about it!"
Tian Tian grimaced at Charlotte, her delicate face was indescribably cute, but the wisdom in her eyes made Charlotte feel ashamed and indignant, but she didn't expect to be tricked by a little girl!
Xia Luo looked at Tian Tian helplessly, it seemed that her preconceived ideas had hurt her, Xia Luo thought that Tian Tian was a little girl with an immature mind, and Tian Tian's appearance was just like her name, and she looked sweet. These all made Charlotte subconsciously attribute the sweetness to harmless little girls, but she didn't expect it......
"Brother Charlotte, these clothes are back to you, next time you cheat people, you have to use some fresh tricks!" Tian Tian's long eyelashes blinked, and said to Xia Luo with a sweet smile.
"I'll give you these clothes!" Charlotte waved her hand, "Now let's go to Bao's butcher's shop!"
Tian Tian unceremoniously put away her clothes, "Thank you, Brother Charlotte, well, let's go!"
Butcher's shop Po
Bao's butcher's shop is far away from Old Tang's space goods store, and Charlotte called a carriage and found this butcher shop under Tian Tian's guidance. The store is not bad, there is a smell from afar, it seems to be the smell of braised meat, it seems that there are not only all kinds of fresh meat for sale here, but also cooked food for sale.
"Brother Charlotte, this is Po's butcher's shop, I'll be waiting for you here!" said Tian Tian in the carriage, her big eyes seemed to be flashing all the time, extremely cute.
Charlotte nodded, and then walked into Bao's butcher's shop.
"What do you want?" asked a gentle female voice.
Charlotte looked up and saw the tall and strong woman, if she could really call it a woman, looking at Charlotte with a shy expression.
"Oh...... Oh...... My name is Xia Luo, and Li Ling asked me to come here to find Po!"
"You're Charlotte?" the tall woman was almost the same size as Charlotte, "I'm Po, you wait, I'll call Daddy out." ”
"Daddy, Daddy!" There is no doubt that if you only listen to the voice, Ah Bao is definitely at the level of temptation, but after connecting the voice with the person, it is a bit miserable......
Xia Luo shook her head, and at this moment, a male voice like a pig came from behind, "Bao, what's wrong? Is someone bullying you, Daddy will come soon! I want to see who is so bold as to bully my baby daughter!"
Charlotte turned his head to look over, and a body that was a head taller than him ran out of lightning, holding a kitchen knife in each hand, and shouted as he ran: "Bao, where is the person who bullied you?"
"Boy, are you bullying Bao?" the man saw Xia Luo at a glance, and the kitchen knife in his right hand pointed at Xia Luo and asked fiercely.
"Uncle, you misunderstood, I'm Xia Luo, and Li Ling asked me to come to Bao!"
"You're Charlotte, yes, it's pretty much the same as Lingling described, boy, are you going back to Li Village now?" Li Village is Li Tong's village, and most of the people in it are surnamed Li.
Xia Luo shook his head, "Uncle, I'll go back to Li Village in two days, I'm just coming to tell you, so you don't have to wait all the time." ”
"Well, come to me when you are ready to go back, I will hire a carriage for you to send you back, Lingling and they even gave me the carriage money before leaving!"
"No need, uncle, I know the way, I can go back by myself!"
The man gave Charlotte an appreciative look, "Yes, young man, I like your character!"
"Uncle, then I'll go first!"
"Wait......" Ah Bao on the side called out softly, Xia Luo's heart trembled, and she swallowed with difficulty, "You...... What else is going on with you?"
"I ...... I ......" Po stammered for a long time, then secretly glanced at the middle-aged man on the side, "I want to bring you some words to ...... To give...... Brother Li Tong ......"
Xia Luo was worried for a long time, and when she heard Ah Bao say this, she suddenly felt a surprise in her heart, "Brother Li Tong, what are you talking ......about?"
"By the way, Ah Bao didn't say it, I almost forgot about this matter!" The middle-aged uncle said, "You go back and ask Li Tong's kid, ask him if the dowry is ready, and tell him that Ah Bao will wait for him for another year at most, and I will find another in-law for Ah Bao in a year!"
"Daddy......" Po exclaimed anxiously.
The middle-aged uncle waved his hand and stopped Ah Bao's words, "Ah Bao, you can relax otherwise, but this dowry can't be a little sloppy! Dad can't let you suffer a little grievance!"
"But, Daddy, Brother Li Tong ......"
Xia Luo gradually heard some signs, it must be a matter of dowry, Li Tong's money has been relieved by the surrounding villagers, where is there any extra money to make a dowry, but I didn't expect Brother Li Tong to like this type of woman......
"Uncle, I don't know what the dowry is? I once saved my life by Brother Li Tong, if it is money, I can guarantee that there will be absolutely no problem!"
"It's not money...... Ah Bao shook his head gloomily, "The dowry that Dad wants is any one of the Flower Carving Beast, the Lost Deer, and the Orchid Pit Viper." ”
"The Three Beasts?" exclaimed Charlotte in shock.
"Yes, it's the three difficult beasts, if he really loves Bao, he will take the three difficult beasts as a dowry!" said the middle-aged uncle with a dark face.
"However, no one has hunted the three difficult beasts for many years, and Brother Li Tong ......," Ah Bao cried.
"Needless to say!" the middle-aged uncle said coldly on the side, "If he can't take out the three difficult beasts as a dowry, don't think about seeing Ah Bao again in the future!
Xia Luo walked out of the butcher shop and shook his head helplessly, he didn't expect this middle-aged uncle to ask for the three difficult beasts as a dowry, if it was something else, it would be easy to say, but these three difficult beasts ......
If there is anything most famous in the Flower Language Plain, it is undoubtedly the three difficult beasts. The three difficult beasts represent the highest etiquette in the Flower Language Plain, and no matter which one of them is definitely the price of the city.
The Flower Carving Beast, the beast is as its name suggests, the whole body is like a carved flower, it is the most beautiful beast, this beast is extremely smart, there are very few people who hunt the Flower Carving Beast from ancient times to the present, and there are only three furs of the Flower Carving Beast, which are in the hands of the richest people in the three Flower Language Plains. It is said that everyone who sees the carving beast will be confused by the carving flowers on its body, and occasionally be able to resist the temptation of the carving beasts, and then face the attacks of various fierce beasts driven by the carving beasts, which also makes very few people able to hunt the carving beasts.
Lost deer, wherever the lost deer appears, there will be a thick fog, normal people can't see in this dense fog at all, and this dense fog can also confuse the direction, without exception, no one has ever seen the appearance of the lost deer. The name "Lost Deer" is also the name given by the people in the hunting area, and it is undoubtedly the most mysterious of the three difficult beasts.
The orchid pit viper, it has always been known for its ferocious venom. According to people who have seen the orchid pit viper, it is nearly 100 zhang long, its body is coiled up like a mountain, its whole body is not afraid of knives and guns, and it is born with a pair of copper skin and iron bones, and the hunter's hunting props have no effect on it at all! The venom it sprays is dark blue, and it has a faint sweet smell, it is said that it resembles the taste of an orchid, and it is named the orchid pit viper by people. Someone once saw the orchid pit viper in the depths of the hunting area, and it is said that it is surrounded by a sea of snakes, large and small, of all species.
Regardless of whether the legend is true or not, there is no doubt that these three beasts are extremely rare, and they are veritable "difficult" beasts.
Lao Huang's entrustment
No wonder Brother Li Tong hasn't gotten married yet, it turned out that Xia Luo thought it was because Li Tong's family was too poor, but now it seems that Li Tong also knows that this dowry is simply incomparable, and he himself knows that he can't prepare these dowries!
That uncle doesn't look like a person who is difficult for a strong man, but why did he let Li Tong use the three difficult beasts as a dowry?
Xia Luo was curious, and made up her mind to inquire about this matter from Li Tong after she went back.
"Let's go! I've already met Po. ”
Tian Tian looked at Xia Luo's expression and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
Xia Luo didn't dare to treat Tian Tian as an ignorant child now, "It's okay, it's just a little mine just now, let's go find your dad first." ”
Back at Old Tang's house, Old Tang asked Xia Luo to take some polar firewood for him, and he immediately began to make space items, and even Tiantian happily took the polar firewood to the side to make it.
Charlotte looked at the pair of making maniacs, shook her head, found a house for herself, and went to sleep.
After resting at Old Tang's house for one night, the next day Charlotte went to buy some things, and in the early morning of the third day, Charlotte said goodbye to Lao Tang's father and daughter and returned to Li Village.
With a small turtle as a means of transportation, Charlotte's speed was naturally incomparable, and he arrived at Qingtan Village in the middle of the afternoon.
Thinking of Lao Huang's injury, Charlotte decided to take a look.
Walking into the familiar courtyard gate, Xiaoxian's figure was busy walking through the courtyard, and there were a lot more medicinal materials in the yard, which should have been picked by Xiaoxian.
"Brother Charlotte!" Xiaoxian turned her head, she was obviously stunned when she saw Charlotte, the last time Sister Li Ling came back, she told her that Charlotte was missing, she had been worried, how could she not be happy to see Charlotte at this moment.
"Xiaoxian is beautiful again!" said Charlotte with a smile, and walked over to take the dustpan with medicinal herbs from Xiaoxian's hand.
"Brother Charlotte is laughing at me again......" Xiaoxian's face was flushed, and she looked a little different from last time, and she was obviously more mature.
"I'm telling the truth!" Charlotte patted Xiaoxian on the head, and then asked, "How is Uncle Huang's injury?"
Xiaoxian said happily: "Thanks to Brother Charlotte's medicine, plus Brother Charlotte left so many fish and shrimp, Dad's injuries are recovering well, and he will be able to go to the ground after a while." ”
"Xiaoxian, who's coming?" Lao Huang's voice came from inside at this time.
"Dad, it's Big Brother Charlotte!" said Xiaoxian and ran into the house, and Charlotte hurriedly followed.
"Uncle Huang, I happened to be passing by here, I heard Xiaoxian say that you are recovering well from your injuries, I'll take a look for you!" Xia Luo said and sat on the side of Lao Huang's bed.
Lao Huang's ribs recovered quickly, and now as long as he doesn't do strenuous movements, his body can sit up.
"Good, good!" Lao Huang is not as ignorant as Xiaoxian, he knows from Xiaoxian's mouth that Charlotte is extraordinary, and the young man is kind, if he can entrust Xiaoxian to this young man, one of his biggest heart problems will be removed.
"Xiaoxian, you go and cook for Brother Charlotte, everything delicious has been done, everything has been done!" said Lao Huang to Xiaoxian.
"Yes, Dad, then I'll go!"
"Xiaoxian, don't be so troublesome, just make a little bit of it! By the way, this is what I helped you bring some flour, rice, and soybean flour, you have already eaten it when I left last time, but you can't just eat those fish and shrimp, it's not good to eat too much!"
Lao Huang shirked it and accepted it, he liked Xia Luo more and more in his heart, and he was determined to entrust Xiaoxian to Xia Luo.
"Uncle Huang, you lie down, I'll check your body for you. ”
Xia Luo actually wanted to use his upgraded blessing tree to heal Lao Huang's injuries, anyway, he had already let the little turtle exert some weird abilities last time, even if he showed a little more, it didn't matter, Lao Huang must have known some peculiarities about his body.
With the mobilization of Xia Luo's consciousness, the blessing tree became clearer and clearer, and slowly a green light tree appeared from behind Xia Luo, Lao Huang was extremely shocked in his heart, and he felt more and more that this young man was not an ordinary person.
After being moistened by the blessed tree, Lao Huang's bones will recover faster, plus Charlotte gave Lao Huang some spiritual spring water, Lao Huang's whole person is full of vitality, where is there still a little bit of patient appearance, looking as if he is twenty years younger!
"Charlotte, thank you for everything you have done for our father and daughter!" Lao Huang felt that his whole body was full of strength, and it seemed that he would be able to walk on the ground soon!
"Uncle, don't be so polite. Although the aeration grass you gave me may not seem like much to you, it is very important to me, and I am not alone in what I have done for you. ”
Lao Huang looked at Xia Luo's expression, finally made up his mind, and suddenly said, "Xia Luo, what do you think of Xiaoxian?"
"Xiaoxian, it's very cute!" Charlotte sat on the edge of Lao Huang's bed after washing her hands.
"I want to marry Xiaoxian to you, are you willing?"
Charlotte squirted the water out of her mouth with a "poof" and said, "What?"
"I don't want any dowry, I just hope that Xiaoxian won't suffer anymore, I can see that Xiaoxian still likes you very much. Lao Huang said seriously.
Only then did Xia Luo know that Lao Huang was serious, "Uncle Huang, it's not that I don't want to, but ...... It's ......"
"I'll tell you the truth, uncle! I'm not from you at all, and I think you can see that I have many strange things that you haven't seen before, and this is what people in our society do! Besides, one day I'm going to leave here......"
This time it was Lao Huang's turn to be shocked, they were a closed world here, and no one had ever been able to get out, but Charlotte actually said that he was from outside......
After the initial shock, Lao Huang took a hard breath and seemed to have made up his mind, "You also know that I am old, and the old man has no other expectations for his children, only hope that they will live well." Xiaoxian is my only daughter, she has been protected by me since she was a child, she does not understand the world, and she will ...... in the future If I die in the future, how can I rest assured that Xiaoxian will live here alone, in this case, it is better to entrust Xiaoxian to you!"
"But ......"
Lao Huang interrupted Xia Luo's words, "If Xiaoxian is willing, I can let Xiaoxian leave here with you, I have no other expectations, I just hope that Xiaoxian will have a happy future life, even if I die now, I can rest assured!"
Lao Huang's words Xia Luo understands, indeed if Lao Huang unfortunately has an accident, Xia Luo can almost guess the fate of Xiaoxian, here is more cruel than the outside society, capable people may not live well, not to mention Xiaoxian is a little girl who does not understand the world, "Have you asked Xiaoxian what he meant?"
