Ah Cai's footsteps were a little hurried. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He was still following behind Lin Xinyin, and he was already in front of him after a while. His breathing was heavy, his face was grim, his eyes staring ahead were still full of unfading anger, and his hurried steps had distanced himself from the people behind him, but he didn't realize it.

"Ah Cai?" Lin Xinyin looked at Ah Cai and didn't seem to be quite right, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Are you okay?" ”

"Ah...... It's okay. Ah Cai had an epiphany, slowed down, and said apologetically to Lin Xinyin: "I'm sorry...... Sister Yin, am I walking too fast? ”

"It's okay." Lin Xinyin smiled. Originally, she didn't know the way, and it was reasonable to let Ah Cai walk in front, but his look just now made her a little worried.

But this will see that Ah Cai seems to have returned to normal, and Lin Xinyin laughed and joked again: "Ah Cai, you were so brave just now." ”

"Brave......" Ah Cai smiled bitterly, slowed down, his eyes suddenly became much darker, and began to talk about the past one after another: "Actually, I am usually very timid. I've been beaten a lot since I was a child, and I would be unfamiliar with people at first, but I was always the one who suffered the most, so I learned to compromise, learn to pretend to be smiling, and learn to pat on the back...... As a result, the number and intensity of beatings are less. ”

"But there are exceptions...... For example, if you are scolded by your parents, you will unconsciously lose your mind...... When I was four or five years old, I didn't know where my parents had gone...... After so many years, not to mention that I will be beaten so much that I can't even recognize my parents, even if I stand here well, my parents won't recognize me, and I won't recognize them. ”

"But I'm lucky, at least I don't have to feed anymore, if I was a baby, I would have starved to death, right? Ha ha! So I didn't die, and I could forage for food like stray cats and dogs, and if I couldn't stay in the village, I would run to the town...... But you can't go anywhere! Generally, the fattest and richest areas are entrenched by land snakes, if you break into it casually, even if you can beg for something, not to mention being robbed, people will be beaten to a full head! ”

"So, I've been beaten up a lot, and I'm experienced! At that time, I rarely asked for money from well-wishers, and if I did, I couldn't hide it, and I would get beaten. Later, I learned to be obedient, as long as I can eat it, as soon as I want to eat, I will swallow it immediately, and it will definitely belong to you, and it will not be snatched away! Hum! ”

"However, not all of you are well-wishers. Once, well, I remember when I was six years old, I don't know when I was wandering in that town, a man who was very well dressed gave me a steamed bun and asked me to help him deliver a letter to a young lady standing at the gate next street. I was so happy to nibble on steamed buns, and when I handed the letter to the young lady, I was looking forward to what she would give me in return. After reading the letter, the young lady actually cried as if her father and mother had died, and finally collapsed to the ground!! I didn't react stupidly, and the steamed buns in my mouth hadn't been swallowed, and as soon as the door opened, a few aunts and uncles rushed out, just glanced at me and the young lady on the ground, and without saying a word, I was beaten with a bamboo stick and broom! Beat me up until I vomited what I ate last night! Damn, I don't know anything!! ”

"One time was even more terrifying! This time it's a very beautiful older sister...... Of course, now that I think about it, it's not very beautiful, it's much worse than Sister Yin...... But she spoke very softly, smiled and gave me a cake, and asked me to help her send a nice little box to the person in the opposite alley, who didn't know what to help, anyway, I gave it to the person who stood at the gate and hurried away. Behold! I hadn't taken a few steps before I heard a scream from behind, and when I looked back, the open box was rolling on the ground, and the one who took the box was crouching on the ground with his eyes covered, screaming Assassin Assassin! I almost scared my heart! Thankfully, I didn't stay where I was the first time! So I ran as hard as I could, for an unknown number of miles, and almost died on the road...... My mother, I still have nightmares when I think about it...... And ah! If I had opened my curiosity at that time, I would have been blind......"

"Later, I learned to be obedient and no longer dared to give things indiscriminately. Ah, speaking of that pretty sister...... In fact, Brother Long also taught me a few times that I should not be fooled by beautiful women...... Ah, I'm not talking about you, Sister Yin, don't get me wrong...... Hey, but that's what I have, and I can't change my...... No, well, I didn't mean that either, Sister Yin is a good person, and I'm talking about other bad women...... Well, there are other bad guys...... Haha, what am I talking about...... It's not, it's not ......"

"By the way, Sister Yin, do you know how I met Brother Long? In fact...... I'm embarrassed to say, but I started stealing when I was seven years old...... One day, I actually stole to Brother Long, and what was even worse was that he found out, I thought I would be beaten into a meatloaf by him, but I didn't expect him to let me go...... Haha, what a blessing! And later? Well, after that, he happened to stay there for a few days, and then he happened to meet a few times and got acquainted with it...... Later, I somehow followed him as a younger brother, and then later, he ...... Dead ......"

Ah Cai chattered all the way, from the indifference at the beginning to the subsequent eyebrow dancing, as if telling an interesting story about the protagonist being someone else, but only when he mentioned Brother Long, he brought a trace of sadness.

"Ah Cai......" Lin Xinyin looked at Ah Cai's appearance, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

The corners of his mouth were raised high to the sides, and several wrinkles were drawn up on his cheeks, and under the bulges were two deep laughing sockets, and the spring smiles left an indelible mark on his face as if they had slid from the mountains to the troughs, and there seemed to be an unending laugh in his grinning lips, and yet—his eyes began to redden.

"Ha, ha. I'm fine, Sister Yin......" As if feeling Lin Xinyin's pitying eyes, Ah Cai sniffed, waved his hand to wipe his eyes, put up a smiling face, turned around and pretended to be old at her: "Actually, what I said is also a lot of exaggeration...... Let me tell you, Sister Yin, there are many dead children who make up lies and pretend to be pitiful to cheat people out of money! I've done this too, hehe! If you really lose, Sister Yin! ”

"Heh......" Lin Xinyin just smiled and didn't say anything. She noticed that Ah Cai's sleeves that had wiped his eyes were dry, and there was no wet trace at all...... He's been crying since last night, has he dried up his tears?

As he spoke, he turned another corner.

……

"Sister Yin, it's here!" Ah Choi pointed to a shop on the opposite street.

The shop doesn't occupy a large area, and even the stove where breakfast is cooked, steamers, cauldrons and other utensils is condensed into a movable wooden frame and placed outside the store to make room for a few more tables. Above the shop, under the eaves hangs a large old wooden sign, the words on the board are blurred in the heat rising from the steamer, and you have to get closer to see that they are three ugly words scribbled: "Li Youji".

Although this small shop is simple, the front of the shop is full of aroma and can arouse people's appetite.

"Arrived?" Lin Xinyin followed Ah Cai's point, led Xiao Huang to follow, came to the front of the store and stopped, looked around, and suddenly hesitated.

Well, there's no post for horses to tie down here, flagpoles, railings, or anything like that......

"Little girl, this shop only entertains people, not horses." A burst of ridicule suddenly sounded.

Lin Xinyin followed the sound, only to find that there was a man and a woman buried behind the pile of steamer utensils, both of whom were quite old, the middle-aged man looked at her with a simple smile, and the woman kept working with her hands.

It seems that this is still a husband and wife pair. Lin Xinyin smiled embarrassedly at the shopkeeper and said, "This horse is very obedient and won't mess around, uncle." After speaking, she patted Xiao Huang's long face again: "Xiao Huang, did you hear that?" Don't run around, or I'll leave you......"

These words made the middle-aged woman who was buried in work laugh, she stopped and glanced at Lin Xinyin, looking at the other party with the pretty appearance of a peasant girl, but her tone was much more friendly: "Sister, go in and find a place to sit." ”

"Hmm." Lin Xinyin nodded, and before following Ah Cai into the store, she specially instructed Xiao Huang: "Remember, don't run around." I can't afford to break someone's stuff if I break it......"

I don't know if Xiao Huang remembered it, but Ah Cai next to her remembered this sentence.

Xiao Huang sighed, stopped the horse's hooves, and lowered his head to stare at the uneven bluestone slab under his feet, as if to find the grass from the crack in the stone that could be used for breakfast.

……

There were no other customers in the store at this meeting, Lin Xinyin casually found a chair to sit down, turned her back to the door, and asked Ah Cai next to the table: "What does Ah Cai want to eat?" What's so good here? ”

"Well, soy milk and fritters will do." Ah Cai thought about it carefully, and finally reported two simple breakfasts.

"Is that enough?" Lin Xinyin was a little surprised, but then a little relieved.

"Enough, the soy milk here is very fragrant! Well, the fritters are not bad, too! Ah Cai turned to his own initiative and shouted to the shopkeeper: "Boss, two portions of soy milk and two fritters!" ”

"Okay!" Another mellow tenor.

After a while, two large bowls of steaming soy milk and two crispy fritters were served.

As soon as I checked out, it was only four copper coins, which was really cheap.

"Come, come, try, Sister Yin." Ah Cai couldn't wait to tear the fritters into several pieces and soak them in soy milk, then scoop them up and send them to his mouth, swallowing while saying vague words: "Hmm...... It's delicious...... "It looks like he's hungry."

Lin Xinyin smiled and picked up the soup spoon, scooped up a spoonful of soy milk and tasted it: uh, the taste is really strong, not bad, and it warms the stomach, so warm that it seems that the whole body is bathed in the spring breeze.

It was a heartwarming moment. Although she was reminded that there was still a lot to do, she still wanted to quietly feel every minute and every second of this warm and leisurely life.

……

"Huh...... It's delicious...... Boss, a soy milk, a fried dough stick, a scallion pancake, two quicksand buns......" A crisp male voice suddenly sounded, as if a new guest had arrived.

Lin Xinyin looked back curiously and saw a young man slowly walking into the store.

But seeing this man's face like a crown of jade, his eyebrows are like ink paintings, his eyes are like paint, his skin is like clotted fat, his head is tied with a white scarf, he is dressed in a crane fur, his waist is tied with a sash, and his feet are wearing deerskin boots.

What a handsome and personable man. Lin Xinyin couldn't help but look at him curiously, but after the man saw her, he seemed to be stunned for a while, but after reacting, he sat not far from Lin Xinyin, staring at her with his eyes unsuspecting.

This made Lin Xinyin feel uncomfortable, so she quickly lowered her head and drank soy milk.

It's just that I always feel that one side of my cheek is itching...... It was as if I was being stabbed by something, and it was very uncomfortable.

Lin Xinyin frowned and looked at it, and was stunned.

He was still watching her.

…… Ignore...... Pretend not to see it and continue to drink soy milk...... Lin Xinyin continued to bury her head in the battle, but her movements became extremely stiff, scooping up a spoonful of soy milk from the bowl and sending it to her mouth, and then swallowing it, it felt as if it was going to take half an hour.

Because, I always feel that there is a burning gaze sweeping over my face, as if I am a strange treasure in the window for others to visit and buy!

Lin Xinyin helplessly looked at the mantis and almost fainted.

He's still watching!

I can't eat it anymore! Lin Xinyin straightened up, put down the soup spoon, sighed, and was about to greet Ah Cai, who had almost eaten, to leave, but suddenly heard a sound of footsteps.

The man finally stopped sitting and watching from a distance, but stood up, walked directly to Lin Xinyin's side, pulled a chair and sat down, and looked at her with a bright sunshine: "Hello, girl." ”

Lin Xinyin once again looked carefully at the man who was quite close to her.

Well, it's indeed a handsome face that's not as handsome as it can be, and it's impeccably dressed. If he was decorated with some roses, jasmine and snow lotus behind him, what a beautiful picture would it be?

But she didn't feel it. If you want to insist that there is, it's just, annoying......

I was harassed three times in one morning, what kind of rotten peach blossom luck did I hit today? Lin Xinyin only felt annoyed, so she blew a cold wind on the handsome man in front of her: "What are you doing?" ”

"Oh, I just think the girl is very familiar, as if she is familiar...... I wonder if it is convenient for the girl to give her name? The handsome man once again dissolved Lin Xinyin's cold wind with a sunny smile. Honestly, his smile is really good-looking.

"......" Lin Xinyin was speechless for a while, but her heart was rolling: Look at it, look at it! The ways and excuses of accosting throughout the ages are the same, no wonder it is said that history should be used as a mirror! I think it's cheap to history! Well! What's next? Report each other's names, addresses, hobbies, and then find out that not only do they have the same surname, but they also live next door and have the same hobbies? Bah! That's such a coincidence! Or do you just get up and leave now, and then this man will stalk all the way and roll on the ground and play idiots and drag his feet to move people with sincerity? Cut! That's pediatrics! If you want me to say, at this time, a few stinky hooligans should appear at the right time to stir up the scene, so that it is convenient for this man to help the hero save the beauty...... Ha ha! If I were the screenwriter of a gossip soap opera, I would arrange this bloody plot for him...... Hey! Perfect!

……

Lin Xinyin, who laughed out loud when she thought about herself, quickly controlled her emotions, and was about to say "inconvenient" to the handsome man with a straight face, but suddenly realized that there seemed to be a black shadow behind her!

She reacted sensitively, and was shocked, immediately got up, pulled Ah Cai and jumped aside, and looked forward: a group of people had poured into the store, led by the obscene Wan Feizi.

"Little girl, it turns out that you are hiding here, if you don't see the horse outside, you really can't find it! Hey! "There are a few other good-looking and richly dressed gentlemen standing next to Wan Feizi, and there are several more family members behind him, the crowd is menacing, it seems that this time he is prepared.

As soon as these gentlemen saw Lin Xinyin, their eyes suddenly lit up like hungry wolves, and they began to comment on their chatter.

"Yo, you have a nice face! It's a little more beautiful than the red card of the red mansion drunk in the flower capital! ”

"It's a pity that the body is tightly wrapped, and I can't see how I ...... be."

"I'll take a look at it later, don't you know it's clear? Hey! ”

"That's it, haha!"

This group of hooligans actually compared themselves to the women in the Qinglou...... Lin Xinyin's face turned pale, her left hand pulled Ah Cai closer, her right hand leaned forward slightly, and the jade on the ring began to shine with blue light.

But she was not in a hurry to summon the Ye Mei Sword. If this group of hooligans who don't know whether they live or die dare to approach her, she will definitely give them a surprise that they will never forget in this life.

"That's it, it's ......" Wan Feizi followed and coaxed beside him, but when he saw Ah Cai's angry eyes, he couldn't help but feel a pain in the lower gear, and quietly moved a few steps back.

"A bold and shameless person, molesting a woman from a good family in broad daylight!" The handsome man stood up at the right time, indignantly blocking in front of Lin Xinyin and Ah Cai, his eyes swept over the ghost-like crooked melons and cracked dates in front of him.

Suddenly, there was a burst of ridicule in the shop, and several wolf-like contemptuous glances swept across the handsome man's face, as if to tear him to pieces.

"Ah......" Lin Xinyin didn't expect that the imagination just now would really come true, but she didn't know what skills this seemingly weak man had, and he really became a hero to save the trouble. Although she didn't like the feeling of being accosted, she didn't want to watch him innocently beaten, and when she wanted to make a noise to let him go away, someone in the gangster group on the opposite side had already started to move!

"Damn the little white face, I'll let you pretend to be a hero!" One of the crooked melons jumped out first, holding a wooden stick and slashing down at the handsome man!

The handsome man snorted coldly, still blocking in front of Lin Xinyin, and when the crooked melon rushed forward, he suddenly stretched out his right hand, and the three fingers of his thumb, index finger and middle finger slammed the attacker's right wrist, and then slashed along the arm to the elbow like lightning!

Suddenly, as if there was a muffled noise, the rascal who acted as the first daredevil, roared, and the wooden stick in his hand fell to the ground, his face turned pale, and his steps were unsteady, but he could not collapse to the ground, because his elbow was still grasped by the handsome man.

The scene suddenly cooled down, and everyone stared and couldn't speak.

Lin Xinyin was secretly surprised: she couldn't see what tricks the man used, and she didn't see half a piece of blood, the hooligan who was firmly holding his elbow was wailing at this moment, the five palaces on his face were twisted into a ball of pain, and his arm was hanging down at a strange angle, as if the bones and tendons had been broken.

"Girl, you leave first, I'll clean up here." After a while, the handsome man turned his back to Lin Xinyin, stretched out his left hand towards the door, and made a "please go first" action, which was very chic.

“…… Good. Lin Xinyin saw that the other party's martial arts seemed to be very strong, and since she didn't have to worry about it, she answered a word very simply, and pulled Ah Cai away without giving up. After walking away a few steps, she turned back to the handsome man and smiled and said, "Can you go outside and ......?" ”

She didn't want the shop to become a battlefield.

The handsome man was stunned for a moment, then nodded again, curled the corners of his mouth and smiled at Lin Xinyin, the exposed teeth flashed like a mirror: "No problem, then you wait for me at the door." ”

Lin Xinyin shuddered secretly, didn't answer or not, walked out of the store with Ah Cai, and apologized to the dazed husband-and-wife shopkeeper: "I'm sorry...... I'm sorry for your trouble. ”

"Ha, ha, ha......" The middle-aged man could only smile helplessly.

The handsome man who was still in the store suddenly remembered something, and shouted at Lin Xinyin, who was already at the door: "Ah, girl, I forgot to say it just now...... Xiaosheng's surname is Liu, and his name is Qianli......"

But I don't know if Lin Xinyin heard it. She had already taken Xiao Huang and pulled Ah Cai away for a while.

After walking a few more steps, Ah Cai asked puzzledly, "Sister Yin, don't you wait...... That person? ”

"What are you waiting for?" Lin Xinyin patted Ah Cai's head: "Don't you still want to get the banker's ticket?" We have something to do ourselves. And that person seems to be very good at martial arts, since we don't have to worry about it, why waste time waiting for him. ”

In fact, she has another layer of unspeakable worries: that person's martial arts are so strong, and he doesn't know where it comes from, what if she really gets entangled......

"That's too." Ah Cai touched his head and smiled: "Then, let's go...... I remember that Brother Long's home was on the east side of the town. ”

After walking a few more steps, suddenly, there were several screams behind him.

Lin Xinyin and Ah Cai looked back and saw a few hooligans, so they flew out sideways, and after falling to the ground, they couldn't get up again.

And then another, two...... Like one large piece of garbage after another, people were swept out of the doorway.

…… Terrible.

Lin Xinyin and Ah Cai nodded in unison and continued to hurry.

……

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

At noon, in the east of the town, there is an alley.

This alley is long and narrow, the light is not good, the air is turbid, walking in this small alley, looking up at the palm-wide line of sky, Lin Xinyin still has the illusion of walking through the deep mountains and old forests last night.

The alley is so narrow that Xiao Huang alone occupies almost half of the path. If it weren't for the fear of being stolen, Lin Xinyin really wanted to tie it to the alley.

"Here we are." After a long time, Ah Cai, who was leading the way in front, stopped at the door of a house.

The door was narrow and broken, and a rusty lock hung weakly on the door, but the crack in the middle of the door was so striking that it seemed as if it had been slashed by an axe, and it seemed that no matter how tightly it was closed, it could not stop the cold wind. There are still a few couplets on the walls on both sides of the house, but there is no complete word, I don't know if it is a relic of Chinese New Year's Eve that year.

Ah Cai approached the door of the house and took out a key from his bosom and inserted it into the door lock. This movement disturbed several pieces of flying dust, causing him to blink and frown. When he pushed the door open, the musty smell and dust that rushed to his face made his brow furrow even tighter.

"Uh......" Ah Cai smiled at Lin Xinyin embarrassedly: "I used to run around with Brother Long, but in fact, he and I have never lived here, and no one has cleaned it up, it's dirty and messy inside, Sister Yin don't mind." ”

"It's fine." Lin Xinyin touched Xiao Huang's sideburns: "Good, wait outside first." Then he followed Ah Cai into the house.

"Heh......" Ah Cai laughed self-deprecatingly, walked through the vestibule less than five steps, and opened the firewood door of the inner room: "If it weren't for the fact that there was a Zhuang ticket hidden inside, this broken house actually didn't need to be locked, and it was useless to lock it, and the broken door was kicked by a person and fell down......"

The doors and windows of the hut were tightly closed, and as the doors creaked open, a ray of sunlight penetrated into the room, illuminating the space that had been sleeping in the dark for an unknown amount of time. As a result, countless flying dust began to dance in clusters in the pillars of light that penetrated in, as if to celebrate regeneration.

Walking on the decaying wooden floor, a screeching sound can be heard with every step. Ah Cai will be very sad: "However, although Brother Long joked a few times to let me dig up tickets or something, he didn't make it clear that it was under that floor...... It's not a big house, so it's a hassle to turn over the entire floor......"

"Hmm......" Lin Xinyin walked back and forth a few times, carefully observing the floor under her feet, and after a while, she noticed that one of the floors seemed to be newer in color than the surroundings.

"Ah Cai, is there a time limit for the banker ticket here?" Lin Xinyin first confirmed one thing to Ah Cai: Is this banker ticket actually similar to the regular savings of her time? Hey.

"Uh...... I don't know very well, but it seems that at some point every year, Brother Long has to take a trip to Qianzhuang with a banker ticket...... "Ah Cai doesn't understand this kind of thing, but he can still recall some details."

"That's it...... Since there is a time limit, it should expire and be renewed, and this kind of paper thing should not be buried in the ground for decades like gold and silver......" Lin Xinyin said as she walked to the newer floor and squatted down, and after a closer look, she came to a conclusion: "Since it needs to be taken out and hidden every once in a while, then this hiding place shouldn't be as rotten as those floors that have not been moved for a long time...... Otherwise, if it gets moldy, the paper underneath will also suffer. ”

Lin Xinyin reached out and touched the floor, faintly sweeping out the traces of a dark box, her pretty eyebrows suddenly moved, but she didn't know how to open it......

But, at least, it's close to the answer! She was quite excited, she couldn't help but summon Ye Meijian, gently inserted it into the floor, and then stroked horizontally, pry out half of the floor along the scratch, and sure enough, she saw half of the banker's ticket!

"Found it!" Lin Xinyin was overjoyed.

"Found??" Ah Cai was surprised and delighted, ran to Lin Xinyin and squatted down, looking at the Zhuang ticket and couldn't help but admire: "Sister Yin, you are so amazing, you found ...... so quickly"

"Hey, hey." Lin Xinyin smiled unceremoniously, pried open the floor on the other side, withdrew Ye Meijian, and was about to speak when she mentioned the Zhuang ticket, when suddenly the wind blew, half of the Zhuang ticket was still in her hand, and the other half fell back to the ground.

…… Ay?

Lin Xinyin and Ah Cai were dumbfounded and looked at each other.

It's a failure! Lin Xinyin clearly remembered that she had already controlled the strength just now, but she didn't want Ye Meijian to cut this Zhuang ticket, but she didn't expect the sword to be sharp, and she still cut it in half......

…… What can I do? Lin Xinyin picked up half of the Zhuang ticket on the ground and fought with the one in her hand, well, it's quite complete......

But it can't be sticky, there's no scotch tape here!

"Sister Yin...... How can this be done? Can it still be used? Ah Cai had a bitter face and was at a loss.

“…… I guess so...... How do you know if you don't try......" Lin Xinyin also had no idea, but at least the elements of this banker ticket are there, it's much better than being burned by fire, right?

"Hmm...... Then, let's go to Fuxiang Money Village and try it......" Ah Cai got up weakly.

"Uh-huh." Lin Xinyin is also bottomless, but she still has hope.

The two of them stepped out of Brother Long's house, and although there was nothing of value in it, Ah Cai still locked the door firmly.

The alley was too narrow, and it was difficult for Xiao Huang to turn around, but fortunately the other end of the alley was not a dead end, so the two of them continued to cross the narrow alley for a while before returning to the street.

……

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Zhenzhong Street, Fuxiang Money Village.

The money village is quite large, but there are not many customers, only a middle-aged couple in luxurious clothes gathered at a counter, not knowing what to do.

There were also two tall men standing at the door, and the two of them looked back and forth at the movement in the store, seemingly the guards of the money village.

There was a loud sound of abacus echoing in the empty store, but it was a middle-aged man with a mustache, fiddling with an abacus in one hand and flipping through the account book with the other, concentrating on calculating the account.

"Shopkeeper Wang, Boss Zhao wants to take ten gold ......" The guy who was waiting for the middle-aged couple shouted to the man who was dialing the abacus.

Shopkeeper Wang's fingers stopped, his beard curled, and his face was a little dark and he ordered the guy: "Go to the treasury and get ......" but he still said to Boss Zhao with a smile on his face: "Boss Zhao withdraws so much cash, but you must pay attention to safety." ”

"Then you don't have to worry about it." Boss Zhao snorted, as if he disdained to talk to Shopkeeper Wang.

"That's, that's, it's my mouth." Shopkeeper Wang laughed, lowered his head and rummaged through the account books, and scolded in his heart: Old Zhao who has no one in his eyes, no wonder you raise a fool of Zhao Er! This is retribution! Hmph, when will you trick that stupid boy into borrowing usury, and when the interest rolls over, you will have to pay back ten times what you old guy takes!

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper Wang moved his beard and calculated in his heart: The loser of the ten thousand families has recently secretly borrowed a few usury loans from his father, and the amount is also considerable...... I have to let Li Ergou work harder and drag the fat man to continue to indulge in the casino, haha......

The shopkeeper Wang, who was thinking about laughing, suddenly heard a voice.

"Boss, withdraw money ......"

Withdraw money again? Take my life! Shopkeeper Wang frowned, looked forward, but only saw a pretty girl standing in front of the counter, and was stunned: It was a male voice that I heard just now...... So he leaned out of the counter and looked at it, only to find a dirty child almost as high as the counter, timidly handing over a banker ticket.

It turned out to be a little ghost...... What money can be withdrawn, ten copper coins? The shopkeeper of the king cocked his beard disdainfully, took the banker's ticket, but was stunned again: It was actually two halves?

Damn, what kind of beggar ticket came from, how much do you want to get? The shopkeeper Wang disdainfully put together the two halves of the banker's ticket, and when the numbers on it caught his eyes, his eyes suddenly widened, and his eyebrows jumped suddenly.

Ten gold.

The shopkeeper swept the dirty child in front of him, and then swept the girl dressed as a farmer next to him, and swept back and forth dozens of times, and a ghost idea came up in his heart, and first asked the child with a black face: "Cough." Kid, where did you get this banker's ticket? ”

……

Ah Cai was stunned. He didn't know the bottom of his heart, and now he didn't know how to talk: "Yes, yes......"

"Where did it come from?" Lin Xinyin looked at the appearance of the king's shopkeeper, although she didn't know what he was thinking, but it was probably not a good thing: "Isn't it to give money when you see the ticket?" ”

"Hey, of course you have to ask about this. Who knows if this ticket is yours? It's not yours, how can you give money casually? "The shopkeeper Wang seems to have calculated that the other party is just an ignorant child and an illiterate peasant girl, isn't this just a pair of persimmons that can be pinched casually?

"You're a liar!" But Lin Xinyin, who is remote, knows a little bit of banking knowledge, so she immediately fought back: "There is no signature on it, whose ticket is it, what does it matter to you?" Now the ticket is in my hand, it's mine! If I give you a ticket, you will give me the money! ”

The shopkeeper Wang was dumbfounded, and he realized that the other party didn't seem to be very easy to pinch, but he immediately put the two halves of the banker ticket on the counter, and changed the excuse: "Okay, even if it's yours, but this banker ticket has been broken into two, and it is not complete at all, and it cannot be exchanged!" ”

"Nonsense!" Lin Xinyin blushed, she didn't know if this detail was true, but she had decided to get the money even if she was stalking: "These two halves of the Zhuang ticket are spelled together, there should be, seals, logos, amounts, village numbers, which ones are missing?" Is it incomplete there? As soon as she said that, she dragged the sleeve of Boss Zhao next to her: "Uncle, you say, isn't it?" Isn't it? ”

……

Boss Zhao looked at Lin Xinyin's flower and moon appearance blankly, and his ears kept echoing with the clear sound like a spring breeze just now, and he was suddenly stupid.

Do you say it......

Do you say it............

Do you think it's ..................

In a daze, he seemed to see the smile of a beautiful woman, and heard a coquettish voice: "You say, am I very beautiful......"

"Yes......" Boss Zhao replied with a smirk, but unexpectedly, his arm suddenly hurt, and he woke up from a sweet dream with a "sigh", and looked back, but was pinched by his wife. So he hurriedly pretended to be serious, and after reading the Zhuang ticket, he despised the shopkeeper again: "This is clearly true, are you bullying other people's children?" ”

However, Boss Zhao's face, which was less than half a tea time, re-met Lin Xinyin's gaze a little, and he put on a somewhat blurred smile: "Girl, don't be afraid, I'm ......"

But before he finished speaking, his arm hurt again, and he couldn't help screaming.

The wife next to him had a gloomy face, pinched his arm, and dragged him all the way out of the bank.

……

However, with the notarization of the helper, Lin Xinyin suddenly became full of confidence, and raised her eyebrows towards the shopkeeper Wang: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Shopkeeper Wang spat at Boss Zhao who was dragged out of the door in his heart, and then made a delaying strategy against Lin Xinyin: "Okay, but the term of this banker ticket will expire in three months, and you can only withdraw the money if you get the deadline." ”

"Ha, nonsense!" Lin Xinyin estimated that this was similar to regular savings, but she had gone to the bank with her mother to handle this kind of business, so she decided to gamble again: "You can take it if it doesn't expire!" At most, it is the interest of the loss point! ”

"Uh......" The shopkeeper Wang completely blackened his face, and saw that there was no one else in the money village at this time, so he shouted to the two men at the door: "Drive these two little ghosts out!" ”

"Oh......" The two men at the door looked at the weak child and girl, lifted the stick by the wall, and walked lazily.

"Hmph." Watching the two big men approaching step by step with sticks, Lin Xinyin was not timid, and when they got closer, suddenly their eyes changed color, and the ring on her right hand flashed blue!

A silver light streaked through.

Before the two men could react, the sticks in their hands had been broken in two and fell down and hit their toes, and as soon as the pain came, they all made a few "oops" and took a few steps back.

Lin Xinyin had already used the pupil technique to summon and withdraw Ye Meijian in an instant, turned around, looked at the shopkeeper Wang again, and raised his hand and slapped it towards the counter: "Money!" ”

In fact, she also thought that maybe it would be more deterrent to insert Ye Meijian directly into the counter?!

However, if you think about it rationally, you can't do it.

What happens if you go to the bank and pull out a gun or knife?

In the same way, if you take out a sharp weapon here, according to the practice of the king's shopkeeper with this ghost idea, will you be wronged as a money robber, and then put into prison?

That's tragic......

So it's better to be sensible.

……

The shopkeeper wanted to speak, but suddenly another voice came from behind him.

"What are you arguing about......

Another middle-aged man walked out, which was a little kind, not as obscene as the king's shopkeeper.

"Ah, Boss Qian...... These two little ghosts want to withdraw money and take ten gold......" The shopkeeper Wang looked back and hurriedly told the person who came the truth.

"Go to the storeroom and get it." Boss Qian glanced at the shopkeeper Wang, and smiled at Lin Xinyin and Ah Cai: "The small shop is not well entertained, and if you are offended, please give more guarantees." ”

"Oh, it's okay......" Lin Xinyin looked at the boss who seemed to be a good person, and her tone softened.

After a while, the shopkeeper Wang put ten gold on the counter with a sigh of relief.

"Ah Cai, take it when you count it." Lin Xinyin winked at Ah Cai with a victor's smile.

"Uh-huh!" Ah Cai counted happily a few times before putting it into his collar: "Then, Sister Yin, let's go." ”

"Hmm." Lin Xinyin smiled and walked out of the money village side by side with Ah Cai.

……

"Boss......" Shopkeeper Wang looked at Boss Qian with a sad face.

"You're a dog who can't change eating. It's no different from a monkey who has just run down the mountain to be a man. Boss Qian stared at the shopkeeper Wang dissatisfiedly: "I'm going to go out tomorrow, you have to watch the pawnshop, don't make trouble in the store like now!" ”

"Yes, yes. Then these two little ghosts ......" Shopkeeper Wang looked at Boss Qian unwillingly, as if to find out what it meant.

"I've never seen it before, it's an outsider, right?" Boss Qian showed an evil smile: "That female doll is good-looking, it looks like it's worth more than ten gold." ”

"Surely, I just caught a glimpse of them leading their horses past the door of the store." Shopkeeper Wang smiled and burst out with yellow teeth.

"Hmph. I'll ask Zhao Bao to contact you. Boss Qian put away his evil smile, regained his kind face, and turned around and walked into the store.

"Yes, yes, yes. Hey! But the king's shopkeeper did not hide his excitement at all.

……

"Ah Cai, what's next?" Lin Xinyin held Xiao Huang and looked at Ah Cai with a face full of joy.

"I want to hurry up and give Brother Long Zhang Luo's funeral now...... Incense paper tin foil coffin, a lot to prepare. It's almost a day, I'm afraid that Brother Long's body will ......" Ah Cai's face was a little more worried.

"Hmm. However, it is better not to prepare here, it is better to go to Lianping Town or other towns. Lin Xinyin always had a lingering worry in her heart, afraid that if she stayed here for too long, she would have an accident.

"That's what I thought, so ...... I'm about to leave now, Sister Yin, I can't accompany you......" Ah Cai's tone was a little choked.

"Fool, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and there will always be a time for people to part. Ah Cai, are you going back to Lianping, then I'll give you a ride? Lin Xinyin was also faintly infected by Ah Cai's emotions, but she still smiled strongly.

"Yes...... Then, Sister Yin just goes to the west intersection of the town, if you can't find Brother Yuan here, maybe you have to start from the east of the town and go to Xinyang to look for it again. Ah Cai wiped his eyes and smiled.

"Well, but, Ah Cai, you have so much money on you, it may not be safe to take the big road, be careful." Lin Xinyin thought about it and reminded her.

"I know...... I remember that there was another hidden mountain road to the west of the town, and I might have to detour a little further back to Lianping, but there were no people to walk, and it was safe. Ah Cai smiled and then advised Lin Xinyin: "Sister Yin, don't always worry about me, you have to worry about yourself." ”

"Hmm......" Lin Xinyin smiled and stroked Ah Cai's messy hair again, and continued to move forward.

……

When the road always ends, it will not be long before we reach the intersection of the west side of the town.

"Ah Cai, what are your plans after Brother Long's funeral?" It's time to part, but Lin Xinyin is still a little reluctant.

"Well, Brother Long said he wanted me to do business with him...... But I don't know anything now, maybe I'll find a small job somewhere first, and then I'll talk about it when I have some experience...... Hey, if you want to open a store in the future, you can name it Longcai and remember it, hehe! Ah Cai's eyes revealed a vision for the future, and he suddenly smiled.

"What kind of store are you going to open?" Lin Xinyin was very interested in Ah Cai's idea.

"It's not clear yet...... Well, maybe it's a good idea to open an inn? Hehe, then I'll go and see the inn there and ask me to come to work! Ah Cai excitedly said his thoughts.

"Why do you want to open an inn?" Lin Xinyin was also curious.

"I ...... Well, anyway, I just want to open it...... Hehe, if I really open an inn in the future, I will reserve a warm room for Sister Yin! Sister Yin will come to patronize the small shop when she arrives! Ah Cai's face turned red again. Because he remembered the appearance of Lin Xinyin, who was curled up and sleeping on the rocks last night in the Qimu Gorge.

That's why he wanted to open an inn.

"Well, speaking of the inn......" Lin Xinyin looked at Ah Cai and was embarrassed to say the reason, so she didn't investigate deeply, and remembered another thing, so she gave Ah Cai a suggestion: "Xiao Yuan and I used to live at the Qingyuan Fulai Inn for one night, and the proprietress of that shop, Yan Ruhuaren, is very good, if you want to go to the inn to work...... Why don't you try it there? ”

"Really?! Sister Yin? Do you know that store? Will you ever go back there in the future? Then we'll have a chance to meet again! Ah Cai became more and more excited, he originally thought that if he said goodbye at this moment, maybe it would be difficult to see each other again in the future, but it didn't seem to be the case.

"Well, it's possible." Lin Xinyin responded to Ah Cai with a smile. She doesn't know if she will have the chance to do so in the future, but it's always good to have a little hope......

"That's good!" Ah Cai immediately made up his mind: "Then I'll go to Qingyuan from now on!" Well, even if the store doesn't want me, I'll be pestered until they want it, hehe! ”

"Ah, probably not......" Lin Xinyin thought secretly: It won't cause trouble to Sister Ruhua, right......?

……

The sun is tilting, the laughter is over, and the farewell is near.

"Then, Sister Yin, I'll leave...... I can't stop you for too long......" Ah Cai looked at Lin Xinyin reluctantly, and her eyes turned red again: "Thank you, Sister Yin, really." ”

"Well, got it, stop crying." Lin Xinyin nodded Ah Cai's forehead with a smile: "Promise me, don't always cry in the future." However, when she said this, she suddenly had a sour nose, but she was finally able to control her emotions.

"Well, good. Then I'm really leaving......" Ah Cai sniffed, quickly turned around, waved his hand to wipe away his tears, and began to take a step.

But it was a few steps and a turn back. Every time she turned around, Lin Xinyin's figure shrunk a few points.

After a long time, Ah Cai turned around again and shouted, "Sister Yin, can we meet again in the future?!" ”

"Yes!" Lin Xinyin shouted back affirmatively. So, she saw the vague smile of Ah Cai standing in the distance.

After a while, Ah Cai's figure gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

……

Even if you can't see you again, at least you can have more sustenance, right? Lin Xinyin thought so.

It's just that now, I'm the only one left.

The sun was still strong, and the streets were shaking when the town was in the midst of a hustle and bustle, but all this sound and light seemed to have nothing to do with him.

It's as if between heaven and earth, there is only oneself.

Loneliness climbed over me like a shadow. Fortunately, there is still a spiritual sustenance, but, Xiaoyuan, where are you?

Thinking of Ling Yueyuan, Lin Xinyin suddenly flashed a thought: If, if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, Xiao Yuan is not in front of him at the moment, but behind him, then he will come along the road, but he will not meet Ah Cai who is walking on the mountain road, then how can he know that he is here......?

Well...... Probably not. Lin Xinyin shook her head: It's better to continue to enter the town to find someone to ask, otherwise, go to Xinyang in the next town.

So, Lin Xinyin turned around, took Xiao Huang, and walked along the street into Wuhua Town.

Uh, the second fool Zhao under the big locust tree is gone, did he go home for lunch?

Fortunately, I was afraid of pestering him again. Lin Xinyin hurriedly quickened her pace and got out of this dangerous zone.

……

It's boring to walk by yourself and have no one to talk to......

Lin Xinyin smiled and touched Xiao Huang's sideburns: "It's good to have you, otherwise what can I do?" ”

After walking a little further, I suddenly felt an unusual feeling of discomfort.

Looking back, there seemed to be a figure shaking at the end of the alley.

Someone is following? Who?
