Chapter 140: Haunted
Zhang Xiaopaw first opened his mouth to break the silence, and then felt a little apprehension in his heart, looking around with his eyes cramped and uneasy, not daring to look at Qi Yoyo.
Although he didn't think he was at fault, after all, he saw what he shouldn't have seen and touched, so that when he faced Qi Yoyo alone, he couldn't help but feel weak in his heart, feeling as if he had been caught stealing something.
Qi Yoyo was still a little embarrassed and embarrassed, but after seeing Zhang Xiaopu's cramped and uneasy appearance, he couldn't help but smile, his mood relaxed, and he said: "If it weren't for Gongzi sacrificing his life to save him, the little woman would have been a wisp of dead soul now, as the saying goes, the grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, and the little woman Xie Gongzi is too late, how dare she blame Gongzi." has not thanked Gongzi in person, the little woman is really ashamed, and looks at Gongzi Haihan. ”
As he spoke, he bowed down to Zhang Xiaopu Yingying and said, "Thank you for saving your life, and I will bring a heavy bow and thank you when I return to Yancheng." ”
Zhang Xiaopai hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Girl, don't need to be polite, please get up quickly." Actually, I just did my best to help Brother Zhou and the sword in the girl's hand to save the girl. So the girl really wants to be grateful, and she should thank Brother Zhou and the girl for her own sword. ”
"Gongzi Zhou wants to thank him, Tai'a also wants to thank him, and Gongzi also has to thank him. At that time, under that circumstance, Gongzi dared to go into the underground river with Tai'a, putting life and death aside, chivalrous and courageous, which was admirable. Qi Yoyo said in a sincere tone.
Zhang Xiaopaw was quite surprised in his heart, he also thought that Qi Yoyo left him alone, whether he wanted to remind him or warn him directly, let him go out and don't talk nonsense, after all, a woman's reputation is more important than life, and everyone must be extremely cautious, but he didn't expect Qi Yoyo to thank him so sincerely.
After a pause, Qi Yoyo continued: "Regarding Chunlan and Xia Zhu's offense to Childe, the little girl apologizes deeply, and she will definitely punish them severely when she goes back." ”
Zhang Xiaopaw waved his hand and said, "No need. As I said earlier, if you don't forgive or hold a grudge, let's just treat it as if it never happened. ”
"The son is massive, which makes the little woman admire. Qi Yoyo complimented, and then straightened up.
Zhang Xiaopu's eyes fell on the sword in Qi Yoyo's hand, and asked with interest, "Is its name Tai'a?"
"Yes. Qi Yoyo nodded.
"It's very powerful!" Zhang Xiaopaw praised, "If it hadn't been for its power at the critical moment, a sword piercing the female ghost's head, the girl and I would probably have died in the underground river." Say thank you to it. ”
Qi Yoyo looked at Tai'a Jian with pity, and his face suddenly showed a look of shame, and he sighed: "It's because I am not good at learning and making the sword dusty, otherwise with the power of Tai'a, how dare the demons and monsters get close to half a step?"
"The girl is talented and intelligent, and I believe that in time, she will be able to make Tai'a shine!" Zhang Xiaopaw said.
Qi Yoyo pursed his lips and smiled, but he was not modest, and said, "I think so too." ”
After speaking, his gaze turned from Tai'a Jian to Zhang Xiaopu, two faint red clouds suddenly flew on his cheeks, and he whispered: "The little girl has a reluctant request, and I hope that the son will be fulfilled." ”
"Girl, please speak, if it is something that Zhang can do, he will not shirk it. Zhang Xiaopaw didn't dare to say everything.
"I implore the son to sell the spring dew to the little girl, and the little woman will be grateful. Qi Yoyo pleaded.
Although she didn't know what Zhou Jianlai's purpose was for deliberately giving Chunlu to Zhang Xiaopu, Chunlu was something she was determined to obtain, so no matter what calculations Zhou Jianlai and Zhang Xiaopaw made, she had to try her best to fight for it.
As for why she didn't say it just now, because she felt that it was easier to talk to Zhang Xiaopaw alone than to talk to Zhang Xiaopaw in front of Zhou Jianlai. To put it simply, Zhang Xiaopaw is simple-minded, has no desire for profit, and is easy to speak. To put it more simply, Zhang Xiaopaw is stupid and easy to deceive.
Qi Yoyo knew that Zhang Xiaopu was stupid and easy to deceive, and Zhou Jianlai didn't know it, but he still handed Chunlu to Zhang Xiaopu, because he knew that Qi Yoyo was not a villain who forgot his righteousness, she would definitely offer a suitable price to buy, or offer an exchange of conditions of equal value, maybe it would be slightly lower than the market price, but this is much safer than the three hairy boys with no background taking Chunlu to the market to sell, you must know that the value of Chunlu can make many seemingly sanctimonious guys do murder and overkill.
In addition, it can also make Qi Yoyo owe Zhang Xiaopaw a small favor, maybe it can also add some favorability to Zhang Xiaopaw in Qi Yoyo's heart, in case he is favored by a beautiful woman, won't it make a beautiful marriage?
If Qi Yoyo knew that Zhou Jianlai thought so beautifully, he would definitely not hesitate to punch him in the face and let him know why the flowers were so red.
But I have to say that Zhou Jianlai is still shrewd.
"Is it useful for the girl to want Chunlu?" Zhang Xiaopaw frowned slightly, because Zhou Jianlai specially whispered to him when he was eating just now, Chunlu is very, very expensive, and he feels that Qi Yoyo is already so beautiful that there is no need to spend this money.
Afraid that Qi Yoyo would misunderstand, he hurriedly explained: "I think the girl is already beautiful, and there is no need to spend all this unjust money." ”
"Spring dew can erase scars. Qi Yoyo blushed and whispered.
Zhang Xiaopaw was stunned for a moment, and then showed a suddenly realized expression, and the hideous scar on Qi Yoyo's chest appeared in his mind.
Seeing the change in Zhang Xiaopaw's expression, Qi Yoyo suddenly felt ashamed and angry in her heart, she said that Chunlu could erase the scar, just to test Zhang Xiaopaw's reaction, but Zhang Xiaopaw gave her a reaction that she didn't want to see the most, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "This bastard really saw it all!"
Seeing that Qi Yoyo suddenly glared at herself, Zhang Xiaopaw was a thief, hurriedly diverted his gaze, coughed dryly, took out a small porcelain bottle containing spring dew from his arms, took two steps forward and handed it to Qi Yoyo, and said: "The girl is useful to use, money-money-"
He casually wanted to say that there was no need for money or something, but the word "money" suddenly got stuck as soon as he exited, because he suddenly thought that Zhou Jianlai specially told Chunlu that it was very expensive, and it seemed that he had long expected that Qi Yoyo would ask him for Chunlu, and it was very likely that he would generously give it to others, so he specially advised. Thinking like this, he couldn't help but blush, and the word money was stuck in his mouth and he didn't know what to say.
"Money, I'll give you a reasonable price. Qi Yoyo saw Zhang Xiaopu's embarrassment, smiled, took the porcelain bottle handed to him by Zhang Xiaopu, and at the same time took Zhang Xiaopaw's words, which resolved his embarrassment.
"Well, okay. "Zhang Xiaopaw is also real, and he didn't fake politeness to Qi Yo again.
"I don't have any money with me, so I'll give it to you when I go back. Qi Yoyo picked up the small porcelain vase.
"No problem. Zhang Xiaopaw said briskly.
"Aren't you afraid that I will turn my face and not admit it?" Qi Yoyo asked with a smile.
"It's just four pieces of spring dew, even if it's worth a lot of money, I don't think it's as valuable as the reputation of the eldest lady of your City Lord's Mansion, right?"
"It's just four?" Qi Yoyo glared, "I think you don't know the value of spring dew at all." Let's put it this way, if it weren't for the fear of delaying the water supply, even if I knew that this cave was dangerous and abnormal, I would have taken the risk of looking for dry food. If I spread the news that this cave has drought in Yancheng, do you believe that the major forces in Yancheng will fight for the ownership of this cave?"
"As for it?" Zhang Xiaopao felt that Qi Yoyo was exaggerating.
"Very much. Qi Yoyo was extremely sure, "Five years ago, the auction house in Yancheng City auctioned a piece of spring dew, and the transaction price was 30 million taels. ”
"——" Zhang Xiaopaw was dumbfounded.
"Wait a minute. Qi Yoyo suddenly frowned, she suddenly remembered that Niu Dawa clearly said that she had found five dry dumplings, but why did Zhang Xiaopaw say four spring dews and the other one? Do you not want to sell them to her? So she asked: "I heard Dawa say that you have found a total of five dry dumplings, so why are there only four spring dews?"
Zhang Xiaopu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face showed an expression of extreme remorse, thinking that the three of them had eaten 30 million taels of silver in one bite, he felt that his breathing was not very smooth.
"Eat—eat!" Zhang replied with a bitter face.
Bang!
Qi Yoyo didn't think about it, a fist was imprinted on Zhang Xiaopaw's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Loser!"
"Fight—good fight!" Zhang Xiaopaw applauded, covering his eyes.
"Then another punch?" Qi Yoyo rolled his eyes and said.
"Yes—it hurts a little!" Zhang Xiaopaw was so frightened that he hurriedly took a step back, but he couldn't hold his breath in his heart, and after thinking about it, he said: "Zhou Jianlai and Niu Dawa also eaten, and when you catch up with them, you give them a punch too." ”
"-" Qi yo yo.
Qi Yoyo walked to the wall and pulled out the torch inserted in the crack of the stone wall, and said, "Let's go, hurry up and catch up with them." ”
"I'll do it. Zhang Xiaopaw stepped forward to take the torch, although he had not learned gentlemanly etiquette, but he also knew that it was very ungentlemanly to let a lady carry a torch on the road.
Zhang Xiaozhu was in front, and Qi Yoyo followed ten steps apart.
"Zhang Xiaopaw, let me ask you a question?"
Say. ”
"Would you like a woman with a flaw? Like a scar on my body, if it can't be erased, it will be with me for the rest of my life, then will you like me? Would you like to marry me and spend your life together? You—don't get me wrong, because this question has been bothering me, and I can't find the right person to ask, and you happen to have seen my hideous scar, so I want to ask, can you men accept a woman with a flawed body?"
"You people in the city have complicated thoughts, and I can't answer you. But if you stay in our country, I can tell you for sure that there will be people who really like you, but only if you are kind-hearted and thrifty. Although we country men also like beautiful women, they prefer kind-hearted people, because people are not good-hearted, and life will not last long. ”
"Are you comforting me?" Qi Yoyo smiled bitterly, feeling that Zhang Xiaopu's words were too perfunctory.
Zhang Xiaopaw was silent for a while, and then spoke: "My wife has a black birthmark on her face, which is born in the middle of her face, which is very eye-catching, but I never think she is ugly. She is kind-hearted, hardworking, optimistic, cheerful, and ingenious, and in my heart she will always be the most beautiful woman in the world!"
"She's very lucky—" Qi Yoyo just wanted to say that she was lucky to meet a man who loved her, but suddenly thought that Zhang Xiaopaw's Liujia Village was slaughtered by the big tooth dog, and his wife, the girl who seemed to be called Que'er, was also killed.
After being silent for a long time, Qi Yoyo suddenly sneered, blushed and asked, "Zhang Xiaopu, if I am not married at the age of thirty, but I suddenly want to marry and have children, and you happen to have no wife, how about I marry you?"
"Miss Qi, I suddenly remembered something. Zhang Xiaopaw said suddenly.
"What's the matter?" Qi Yoyo asked curiously.
"Actually, we found a total of six dry dumplings. Zhang Xiaopaw said.
"Huh?" Qi Yoyo wondered.
"But it's a pity that we burned the whole one, and the spring dew burned out, and we didn't get a bite of the meat. ”
"Zhang Xiaopaw, wait a minute, I have something to tell you. Qi Yoyo gritted his back molars and whispered.
"——" Zhang Xiaopu shivered and hurriedly quickened his pace.
As soon as night fell, every house in the eight northern cities was closed, the door bolt was tightened, the window sash was sealed, and a knife was placed under the pillow.
The streets were so empty that even those fleeing were looking for a place to hide.
If people who don't know see this scene, I'm afraid they will think that this is a dead city.
Of course, this is not a dead city, but a lot of people have died in this city lately, and all of them have died in the night. Everyone died miserably, their brains hollowed out, and their blood sucked up.
Hunting for the murderer day and night, he was so anxious that his eyes were bloodshot, the corners of his mouth were blistered, and the soles of his shoes were worn through several pairs, but he didn't even catch a single hair for a few days.
The whole city is on alert, but the murderer is unscrupulous, and begins to commit murder every night, from the east of the city to the west of the city, regardless of men and women, regardless of old and young, rich or poor, it seems that as long as the opportunity is caught, they will kill, this several nights, two or three hundred people will die tragically every night, so that everyone in the entire northern eight cities is panicked and in danger, and at night there will be rumors, families are closed, and they can't sleep for a long night.
Some people say that the bigtoothed dog has infiltrated the North Eight Cities and is going around to create chaos.
But more people said it was haunted, because someone saw an extremely terrifying ghost. It is said that he has scales all over his body, no hair on the top of his head, wide ears, prominent eyeballs, turned out nostrils, no lips on his mouth, long and fine teeth, long arms and short legs, sharp front claws, and five fingers on his hind paws, like a demon of hell.
"Boss, does this old way work?" In a courtyard in the east of the city, a few catchers hid behind the pyre stacked in the corner of the courtyard, looking at the old Tao in the courtyard with a peachwood sword in his hand, shaking the soul bell, jumping up and down on the Dharma platform, and chanting words in his mouth.
"Do you have a better way?" Zhao Gang, the head catcher, asked with a glare, he hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were blistered and blistered, and he was haggard and tired.
