Chapter Seventy-Four: Life is Ruthless, Heroes Are Useless

The seventeenth prince came to the town where he bought medicine, and wanted to go to the pharmacy to settle accounts, but he thought of the fierce shopkeeper, and he might not be able to beat it, sighed, came to a pawnshop, took off his shirt and said, "How much is this dress worth?"

The man took it and looked at it, the clothes were of high quality, and the tailoring skills were excellent, but they were a little shabby, and there were a few cuts, and it was estimated that he was a down-and-out young master. The man felt pity on him, and raised the price a little, and said, "Ten taels of silver." ”

"Thank you!" Although the seventeenth prince was not in a good mind, he knew that this blouse could be sold for ten taels, so it must be that the shopkeeper had pity on him! The seventeenth prince took the silver, and his eyes couldn't help but be hot: first, he was a dignified prince of the Heavenly Dynasty who pawned his own clothes for the sake of his stomach! The embarrassment of despair was something that only he could understand; second, he was moved by the kindness of the shopkeeper, there are still good people in this world, and it is still worth protecting, and he can't change his chivalrous heart for the sake of those few small nights!

In the future, there will be no hesitation in his sword!

The seventeenth prince carried ten taels of silver in his waist, and he felt very confident in his heart, feeling that the first young man in the capital was back again, so he found a medium-sized tavern for a snack.

The seventeenth prince walked in, ordered a few side dishes and a pot of wine, although there were a few silver, but the seventeenth prince did not dare to squander too much, who knows when the master will wake up! Therefore, it is still necessary to save, the seventeenth prince admonished himself in his heart.

The seventeenth prince ate for a while, and felt tasteless, and always felt that something was missing. Suddenly, there was a sound of pipa from upstairs, and I realized what was missing—accompaniment! The seventeenth prince sighed: Save money! Save money! After paying a little silver, the seventeenth prince left sullenly. Wandering through the streets, you came to a lively place.

"Uncle is here to play!"

"Come on!"

The Seventeenth Prince's footsteps slowed down. The old woman's eyes were so good that she could see at once the thoughts of the Seventeenth Prince: his slow steps must have been hesitating! With her eyes signaling, the girl immediately understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her arm, "Childe, come and play for a while!"

This son-in-law made the originally romantic seventeen princes completely give up resistance.

When I came out again, I only had a few dozen dollars left: this was still the change I found for dinner.

The seventeenth prince was very annoyed, cursing the stinky woman who had just pulled him in!

But it didn't help. Looking at the pitiful amount of dozens of dollars in his pocket, the seventeenth prince thought of his pants again, which should also be a few taels of silver, but...

The seventeenth prince gave up, he really had no face, and walked on the street with his bare legs as if nothing had happened.

The seventeenth prince used the remaining money to buy a few buckets of rice. And because of the difference of two pennies, I cut with the store for a long time, and finally let the rice be carried away.

Alas, when has my seventeenth prince ever been so poor and sour! Master, if you don't wake up again, you'll be really sorry for my great dedication.

Before dark, the Seventeenth Prince slipped back into the cave. Then he went out to collect firewood and boil medicine. In the end, I built a small fire next to the Master, hoping that the Master would wake up soon.

Such days have passed until the bottom of those buckets of rice. At this time, he was extremely remorseful: Why did I just follow that fox spirit in! How can this be good? It is not a way to stay on the mountain, so let's go down the mountain and have a look! I hope to meet a kind-hearted bodhisattva who will give me a few dozen taels of silver. The Seventeenth Prince prayed to the Buddha very sincerely, and then went down the mountain.

When he came to that street again, the seventeenth prince did not meet any bodhisattvas, so he could only be his iron sword and buy rice. I thought to myself: I don't know how many days I can last this time, Master wake up quickly! If I don't wake up, I will really be a pants next time. When he went back, the seventeenth prince couldn't help but swallow a big mouthful of saliva when he saw a tempting roast duck with golden butter oil hanging on a paved shelf.

"In the past few days, I have only eaten rice, without a little oil and water, and I have been widowed. And I also use that medicine jar to cook rice every day, and I eat it with a mouth full of medicinal taste!" The seventeenth prince stared at the roast duck with green eyes, but how could he be shy in his pocket! Suddenly, the seventeenth prince came to his heart.

The Seventeenth Prince walked up casually and asked, "How much is a roast duck?"

"Five hundred texts. ”

"Wrap me two. Saying that, the seventeenth prince pretended to pay for it.

"Okay" The boss didn't doubt it, took down the two roast ducks, and wrapped them in lotus leaves.

"A total of one or two pieces of silver. The boss handed over the roast duck with one hand and reached out to ask for silver with the other.

"Hmm! Here you go!" the seventeenth prince held the stone he had picked up on the ground in one hand and took the roast duck in the other.

The boss hesitated: It's really strange how to hold the silver. When I took over the 'silver' boss, I suddenly realized!

"Stone!!"

The seventeenth prince snatched the roast duck, carried the rice, and galloped away like the wind!

"Hey, hey, what kind of money are you!" The boss didn't want the stall anymore, and chased after him and shouted, "Come on! Come on! Grab the roast duck!" But how could he outrun the seventeenth prince, and after a while, the seventeenth prince got rid of the boss, took the roast duck, and returned to Huyuan Mountain proudly.

Just as I was going up the mountain, I suddenly heard a person say, "Huh—where did the aroma come from?"

Another soldier also said, "Well, I smell it too." Somebody's cooking something over the fire, right?"

"Go and see! If you do, drive him away, and the brothers will have a good time." ”

"Well, let's go!"

The two came in search of incense. The seventeenth prince hurriedly hid behind a big rock, thinking: The two foodies still want to eat the roast duck that Uncle Ben had worked so hard to grab! Hmph! Look how I teach you! The seventeenth prince opened his purse, and the aroma became even stronger.

"Behind that stone!" the two men cautiously approached the stone. Just as they were about to stick their heads out to see who was behind the stone, a wooden stick suddenly appeared and knocked the two unconscious to the ground. The seventeenth prince threw away the wooden stick, took a bite of the roast duck, and said, "Even you two little thieves also want to eat Uncle Ben's roast duck!"

The rice persisted for a while longer. The ghost ghost still hasn't woken up, but he's not dead either. The Seventeenth Prince looked at the few medicinal herbs left and thought to himself, "Master, is this a living dead?" Alas! If Master doesn't wake up after these medicines are boiled up, I will have to find another way!

The seventeenth prince boiled good medicine for the ghost ghost, took it and fed it, and went to cook rice again.

Alas, for the last time. Where can I get the rice again? The seventeenth prince couldn't help but think of roast duck in his mind again.

No, that boss must have had a deep influence on me.

But the aroma of roast duck always lingers around my nose. The seventeenth prince endured it all night, and the next morning, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he cleaned up a little and went down the mountain.

When he arrived in the town, he passed by the roast duck restaurant, and the seventeenth prince couldn't walk on his feet. He stopped a random person on the street and asked, "Do you know me?"

"Maniac!"

The Seventeenth Prince secretly rejoiced: It seems that my disguise technique is still good.

Actually, where is the transfiguration? It's just a lot of dust on the face.

"Boss, how do you sell roast duck?"

"Five hundred texts. It's a great duck, fat but not greasy!"

"Okay! Get me one!"

"Okay! Wait a minute!"

The boss wrapped a roast duck and handed it over, still like last time, asking for money with one hand and giving the duck with the other. It's just that this time the rope tied to the purse is tighter. The seventeenth prince didn't talk to him anymore, and without saying a word, he snatched it up: "Bring it!"

"I-grass-you-ancestor!" came a heart-rending cry from behind the Seventeenth Prince.

If you give me two more roast ducks, I'll stand and let you beat them.

The seventeenth prince has been worn off by life.
