Chapter 81: The Golden City (6)
Cheng Zhengzhi smiled bitterly and said: "I suddenly feel that I am very close to home. But I also know that I am too far away from home. ”
When others heard it, it was just a crazy thing.
But Liu Xiaohua understood what he meant.
What he meant was that even if his guess was correct, the earth had existed for billions of years, and who knows when it was. There may be an endless amount of time between the two points in time. It's simply insurmountable.
Looking at Cheng Zhengzhi's languishing appearance, Liu Xiaohua really had the urge to sue him.
Sue him, and so do yourself.
Sue him, and now she is also shocked and lost in her heart.
Although he is gradually adapting to the world, he will inevitably feel lonely and want to go home.
She looked at Cheng Zhengzhi's side face and hesitated for a long time. In the end, there was no opening.
What's the use of suing him? Two people will hug their heads and cry if they don't say it's good.
She was thinking about it, just comfort Cheng Zhengzhi for a few words.
Cheng Zhengzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to her excitedly: "I think, I was worn here, will there be a reason?" Like, save the world or something! Why did this civilization fall, do you think? Why did it disappear? There's a need for a super savior here! ”
As he spoke, his mood improved again. said to Liu Xiaohua: "Besides, if it's really what I think, I won't die!" Right? Cultivate the immortal body, the immortal body, and live to the end, you can go home!! With that, he danced and grinned back to the table, and went to eat.
Leaving Liu Xiaohua silently looking at his back.
She thinks that simple-minded people may really live a more optimistic and happy life!
The dim sum sent by the guy, although the taste is much better than roast rabbit, but except for Cheng Zhengzhi, everyone is not in the mood, and they were tricked by Zhang Fengnian, and the love is difficult to calm down for a long time, and the current situation is very strange, all of them are like chewing wax.
The next day, when Liu Xiaohua woke up, it was already dawn.
The others were still lying on the table, not awake. The cries of selling on the street came and went.
"When?" Linglong rubbed her eyes. She also fell asleep on the table.
When everyone woke up, they found that no one could tell when they had fallen asleep.
"Maybe it's because it's been too tiring and tiring for a while." Linglong touched the green stubble on his head, with a look of resentment.
She knew the hardships of the path of monasticism, but she didn't know that it was such hardships.
After suffering for so long, sleeping in the open like a wild man, now I finally have time to rest. Originally, I thought that I would take a good rest for three days, take care of it, make it clean, at least like a person, and then go back to Xiaopenglai directly.
However, a few people looked at each other, and they really didn't know where to start.
They haven't washed it for a few months, their clothes are already dirty, and their necks and bodies are mud balls when they rub them, and it's okay to lie to people that it's an elixir. The hair can't be untied until it is knotted. So I lost all my faith.
Liu Xiaohua felt that it was better to simply make it dirtier, so that she couldn't see the human appearance, and others didn't know that it was them.
In this spirit, I smeared a few more handfuls of dust on my face.
When everyone went to look for Zhang Fengnian, they knocked on the door but no one answered. He was told by the guy that he had already gone out.
Liu Xiaohua asked, "Didn't my senior brother leave anything behind?" ”
This time the guy shook his head and said, "I haven't arrived." ”
Presumably to get the stuff I said? "Didn't say when you would be back?"
The man said, "But never." ”
Linglong complained: "Why is the master like this." I also want to borrow money from the master first, and go to the street to buy something for my master. How can you take nothing with you when you go out. ”
When the man heard this, he said, "If the little lady is short of money, just borrow it from our store on credit." When the little lady goes back and has the money, when she comes back next time, she can just pay it back. ”
Linglong was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Is that okay? ”
The guy laughed and said, "Naturally." It's not a big deal. ”
After a while, he returned, holding a tray in his hand, covered with a red cloth. When Linglong uncovered it, she was stunned.
There were several gold ingots on the plate. Although she had to borrow money, she didn't have to borrow so much. Just a few big bucks are enough.
The guy looked at her and was stunned, and said, "If the little lady is too little, there are still some of them." ”
Linglong hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, no." ”
Xu Sijiu stared at the gold, looked at the guy again, and asked in disbelief, "Anyone can borrow it?" ”
"Naturally. Everyone who comes is a guest. There is no reason to be differentiated. The guy smiled sincerely.
"Maybe when it will be returned?"
"Indefinitely. When the guest comes next time, it will be returned, and it will be fine. Our store is not short of this money. Convenience with guests is convenience with oneself. It is a blessing for us that the guest will speak of our kindness to outsiders in the future. ”
"Is there interest on that?"
"Don't."
Cheng Zhengzhi stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the guy's eyes, and said, "Do you have a problem with your eyes?" Can't you see that we're dressed like beggars? You lend so much money to a beggar, can the beggar afford it? ”
The man said sincerely: "Our shopkeeper often says that the nobility of people is not the difference of status. Some people dress luxuriously, but they are worthless. Some people, no matter how down-and-out they are, are unparalleled in the world. ”
Cheng Zhengzhi gasped and said, "Yo, this word is still a set." Who are your shopkeepers? Consciousness is quite high! ”
The man modestly said, "It's just an ordinary person." ”
Linglong said: "Then ......" wanted to stretch out his hand.
Liu Xiaohua felt that something was inappropriate, and blocked her hand: "Then thank you for being the shopkeeper, but our elder said that you can't accept money." ”
Linglong immediately said angrily: "What are you doing here, I didn't ask for it for nothing!" Sooner or later, it's still for others. Is this also called receiving money? Besides, everyone is an ordinary person, what are you afraid of? As he spoke, he took advantage of Liu Xiaohua's preparation, reached out and grabbed a piece of gold in his hand.
Liu Xiaohua couldn't stop it.
Linglong smugly made a disdainful expression at her, raised her chin and said to the guy: "Then thank you shopkeeper." Tell your shopkeeper, my name is Linglong. is a disciple of Xiao Penglai, not a person who is untrustworthy. When I get back to the mountain, I'll have someone bring it to you right away. ”
The guy laughed, "Yes." He also advised, "Guests must go to the market when they are free, we have many things here that are not found elsewhere." ”
Before leaving, ask the others, "Do you want to borrow on credit?" ”
Xu Sijiu looked at the tray in his hand, and he was really a little moved. Her family was poor, and she had never seen so much money in her own life.
The man seemed to see that she was interested in coming, and asked her in particular: "Do you want to borrow this little lady?" ”
Xu Sijiu pinched the dirty purse on his body, thinking that this money was not taken for nothing, he always had to pay it back, and he couldn't afford to pay it back when the time came, so he had to shake his head bitterly, "No need." I don't have anything I want to buy. ”
When the young man left, Linglong turned her head and said to Liu Xiaohua, "Uncle Xiao is too careful." Take the words of the great uncle as if they were holy decrees. ”
Liu Xiaohua saw that she had taken it, so she didn't say much. It's just that when I went downstairs, I asked the guy who ran the hall: "Are the two people who stayed last night still there?" A scholar, a woman with a child. ”
The guy scratched his head and asked, "Is there such a person?" Wait a minute. So he ran to the back and asked. After a while, he came out and said, "Leave early in the morning." ”
Linglong couldn't wait, pulled Liu Xiaohua and left, saying, "Don't worry about it so much." We're here to rest. When the master came back with his things, we left. "A crowd of people rushed out into the street.
The market here is really lively, and there are all kinds of things sold. Eat and drink pancake glutinous rice balls.
Linglong wanted to eat candy man, and with money in her hand, she was confident, so she waved her hand and said, "Give us one by one." It has to be like it. ”
The old man who sold the candy smiled and pinched it, but when he finished pinching it, he looked at the money she took out in his hand, but he was stunned for a moment, and said with a bitter face: "Girl, don't tease me." I don't want this money. ”
Liu Xiaohua smiled and asked, "Why?" ”
The old man looked at her and said, "Isn't this a joke, little lady, where can I find it?" You'd better give me a lot of money. ”
But everyone didn't bring money out at all, so how could they give him a lot of money, so they had to return the sugar man to him, and he wasn't annoyed.
As a result, such a long street, I asked all the way to the past, and I hit a wall when I bought anything. No one can find it.
If you want to buy something expensive, calligraphy, paintings, antiques or anything, there are no here. The streets are full of food and drink. There is no money bank that can exchange huàn money.
Linglong's face pulled down, and said angrily: "Go back, go back!" What to shop for! What the hell place! "Ignore the others, turn around and leave.
Liu Xiaohua waited for her and the others to leave, and walked around the street again.
A lady who sold cooking cakes thought she was begging, so she kindly gave her a cake. She didn't refuse, and took it and ate it in a big gulp. When the eldest lady saw that she was a little child, like a wild man, she felt sorry for her and asked her, "Who is here in your family?" ”
Liu Xiaohua remained silent and said, "I'm here to find my brother." ”
"There's no one else in your house?"
"It's gone."
The eldest lady sighed and said, "What kind of iniquity has been created?" ”
Liu Xiaohua asked, "Who is here in the eldest mother's family?" ”
The eldest lady shook her head and said, "There is no one." The family life is too hard, the man has passed away in his last year, and he has two sons to raise. I'm here to set up a stall and subsidize it. And he said, "If it weren't for the impossible, I wouldn't have come here." ”
Saying that, he hesitated for a long time, turned his head to look, and saw that no one was paying attention here, so he pulled Liu Xiaohua and whispered, "You, go back quickly." When your brother arrives here, he will definitely not be able to do it. If you find it, if he wants to give you something good, you must not ask for it. ”
Liu Xiaohua's heart suddenly burst into her heart, and she asked curiously, "Why?" My brother loves me the most. Why can't you ask for something from him? ”
The eldest lady just shook her head.
Seeing that the people setting up the stalls next to her looked at her, they immediately ignored Liu Xiaohua and greeted passers-by with a smile.
Liu Xiaohua saw that she couldn't find anything more, so she had to go back to the inn.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Linglong arguing with someone.
She shouted, "I just borrowed this money, and I don't want it now." I can't buy anything, so I have to do something. ”
The man was embarrassed and said, "But just now, who did it, you can't tell, who am I going to find to end this matter?" ”
"It's just a boy who looks like an ordinary person."
The man said bitterly: "But we here, everyone is ordinary. ”
"Either you can give me a lot of money." Linglong took a step back. She still wants to buy something.
"Yes, we don't have a lot of money in the store now." The guy complained again and again.
The guests who eat and drink in the lobby seem to be used to this kind of thing, and they are not curious, eating and playing by themselves.
Linglong said angrily: "Then I can't borrow it?" After all, it's the person in your store, I gave it to you, you just have to ask him to return it. Or you take the money and return it directly to the shopkeeper. ”
This guy is not very old, and she forced him to cry and said, "Little lady, I really can't do this." You are reasonable, and you said you were going to borrow this money. If you borrow it, you will borrow it, and if you want to pay it back, you will naturally have to find someone who handles it to pay it back. That's the rule in the store. If you look for me, what can I do? ”
Linglong said angrily: "Then you call all the guys in your store to come over and let me admit it!" ”
The guy stomped his feet and said, "Little lady, how can there be such a thing!!" We're still in business. ”
"Okay. Then I'll find it myself! With that, Linglong ran to their back hall.
The guy looked at her back and sighed, and didn't care about her. Busy going on your own.
Linglong has been looking for the night, probably rummaging through the whole store, and she is afraid that the guy is deliberately avoiding her, so she specially asked Liu Xiaohua and them to come to help and hold a few key aisles.
But when it was dark and locked, no one was found.
That little man, it's really gone.
went to find Zhang Fengnian, but Zhang Fengnian hasn't come back yet.
Several people sat in the room, looking at each other. Xu Sijiu said: "Uncle Xiaoshi, I told you not to borrow it." You want to borrow it yourself, and you see you can get it now. ”
Linglong slapped the table and glared at her, "You want to fight again, right?" ”
He Wen'er stuffed the food in her mouth, and rarely persuaded Xu Sijiu: "Okay, don't talk about her anymore." ”
Not long after they left, they were all alone, and they disappeared. No one in the store went looking for it.
"Let's eat something first." Cheng Zhengzhi said while eating: "If it's gone, it's gone." Maybe something happened at home all of a sudden, and I went home. I'll be back tomorrow. It's the same if you pay it back tomorrow. Anyway, I don't want interest. If we don't find him tomorrow, we'll find their shopkeeper. Just return it to the shopkeeper directly. ”
Linglong's mood is better.
Just as he was about to eat, Zhou Qing, who had been standing by the window, suddenly said, "Come and see!" ”
