The blind shopkeeper snorted coldly when he heard this.

"I'm blind, but I'm not stupid, you swagger up next to me like that, can you still make a little noise?"

The shopkeeper's tone was cold, but his voice was very clear, even with a warmth that was very incommensurate with his terrible appearance.

If it weren't for these scars, if it weren't for this blind and hunched and lame body, Ah Zi vaguely believed in his heart that the shopkeeper of the Willow Wind Inn should be a handsome boy in his prime.

This made Ah Zi even more curious about what the shopkeeper had gone through, especially the shocking circular scar on his neck.

But after thinking about it, I couldn't muster up the courage to ask in the end.

"You're a witch?"

Seeing that Ah Zi didn't speak for a long time, the shopkeeper asked first, and the result was a blockbuster.

"How do you know?"

Ah Zi's eyes were full of surprise, and he forgot for a moment that he should try to hide the identity of the witch.

The shopkeeper raised a pair of sunken eyes, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Ah Zi's feet, and said, "I have never encountered such a light step and walked straight to my side to be discovered by me." ”

Ah Zi didn't argue, and didn't care about the contradiction that the shopkeeper had just taught himself that he was too loud and now claimed that his steps were light, but he was full of interest in the shopkeeper's series of actions in the middle of the night, so he simply got closer, and asked in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, is this piece of Longyan Mine Spirit Stone you worship?" ”

The shopkeeper deliberately raised his voice and said, "The little girl is quite eye-catching." Do you even recognize this spirit stone? ”

Ah Ziran scratched her head with a smile, leaned closer, and asked, "Why do you want to worship spirit stones?" I have heard that spirit stones are very scarce, and because most of them are sworn by the beasts to protect them in the tribe, it is difficult to obtain, and the court often finds skilled craftsmen to make all kinds of iron tools and sell them, but I have never heard of anyone taking such an uncarved piece of natural ore as an offering. ”

The shopkeeper sighed twice when he heard this, and said, "Didn't you see where my Willow Wind Inn is open?" At the foot of Longji Mountain, adjacent to the golden forest, it is not blessed by Lady Liu. But he had to withstand the danger of being attacked by the beasts on the mountain at any time. If you don't take out this spirit stone and worship it night and night, and pray for the blessing of the Sacred Heart Niangniang, maybe one day you will be in a different place? ”

The words were said easily, but Ah Zi vaguely heard the loneliness and helplessness contained in it. Cautiously asked, "Shopkeeper." Are you a witch? Why won't that Lady Liu take you in? Could it be that she didn't care about the love of her clan? ”

The question asks the exit. Ah Zi regretted it a little, and seeing the shopkeeper's face full of loneliness and stunned, it made her blame herself. But I don't know what to say to redeem it.

"Who told you I was a witch." After a long silence, the shopkeeper asked a rhetorical question.

Ah Zi was happy to get out, so naturally he didn't argue with him anymore, and waved his hand again and again: "It's me who has lost my eyes, don't be surprised." ”

Then there was a long silence.

The shopkeeper who is like a sculpture can only be speechless to Ah Zi, who is not good at words by nature.

But strange to say, this shopkeeper's appearance is terrifying, and his behavior is sneaky and difficult to fathom, but after just a few words, Ah Zi's impression of him is not bad, and even has some familiar and cordial flavor in his bones - maybe this is the biggest reason why she dares to boldly speculate that the other party is a witch.

Seeing the shopkeeper sitting there, motionless and "looking" at the spirit stone on the alcove, Ah Zi also followed and looked in that direction.

The luster of this ore is not as transparent as the spirit stone hanging on his chest, but it has a low-key and restrained beauty, such as the legendary glossy dragon scales, tough, simple, and invulnerable......

Thinking of this, Ah Zi's heart suddenly moved.

Wouldn't it be great if you could take such a spirit stone to make a knife for Ah Brown? With Ah Brown's ability, he will definitely be able to carry it all over the world and make a name for himself. The sword increases the hero, such a picture is already very happy just thinking about it.

"What's the matter with stealing pleasure like this?"

Another astonishing sentence from the shopkeeper was thrown, and Ah Zi squinted his eyes and stared at him, dangling his hand in front of the sunken eyelids, always feeling that the blind shopkeeper had grown another pair of eyes somewhere, and always paid attention to his every move.

"Interested in my spirit stone?" The shopkeeper asked suddenly.

Ah Zi had an idea, seemed to understand the mystery in this question, and asked rhetorically: "Are you willing to sell?" ”

The shopkeeper pursed his lips and shook his head with a smile: "Not for sale." ”

Ah Zi was deflated, got up and prepared to go upstairs.

"If you stay with me, I might consider giving this spirit stone to your companions." The shopkeeper added another sentence behind Ah Zi.

Ah Zi was embarrassed, she wanted this spirit stone, but she didn't want to stay in this cold and terrible inn to accompany a lonely elder.

But she wanted that spirit stone too much to miss this opportunity.

But when he thought about it, he and the shopkeeper were only one-sided, and he was willing to exchange such a valuable gift as a spirit stone for himself to stay, which shows how lonely he has been in his heart.

Staying alone for ten years in such an unfrequented inn, anyone would want to be accompanied, right?

In that case, maybe there is another way to solve the blind shopkeeper's request other than to stay himself?

Ah Zi came back to the shopkeeper's side and asked, "We will rush to the Golden Forest as soon as dawn, if we are lucky enough to meet Mrs. Liu, how about I say a few kind words for you in front of her old man, and beg her old man to accept you again?" ”

Even Ah Zi herself felt ridiculous when she said such a thing—how could Lady Liu, who was the master of the Golden Forest, listen to her as a little girl who didn't understand anything.

Unexpectedly, the blind shopkeeper took Ah Zi's conditions very seriously, which made Ah Zi secretly surprised and overjoyed.

"Two beautiful words, plus ten thousand taels of silver."

After thinking about it for a long time, the shopkeeper came up with such a sentence.

Ah Zi almost shouted when she heard the words, and went around and around, but in the end, she couldn't get out of a money word?

But the matter of this money is easy to say, but it is also tricky to say that it is difficult to do-since the price is given, that is, he is willing to sell, but where did he come up with so much white money?

As if seeing through Ah Zi's thoughts, the shopkeeper's face did not change and said: "You come to the southern capital, and when you see you as a little demon with fine skin and tender meat, the royal family there must treat you well, right?" No, it should be said that they offered you up like their ancestors, right? Didn't I prepare some coils for you or something? (To be continued.) )
