Chapter 120: The Thief Who Was Violently Beaten
When I walked into the Li Fu pawnshop, the shopkeeper recognized me at a glance.
He immediately greeted him with a smile on his face. "Hehe, the distinguished guest is coming, the small shop is really flattered." He ordered a warm cup of good tea and some desserts.
I was hungry, so of course I sat down and enjoyed my meal.
At this time, I had already taken off my fox fur, and the clothes on my body were inevitably a little thin and not warm enough, so I didn't want to waste any more time.
I handed the fox fur to the shopkeeper and said, "I'm also a regular customer, so let's give me a real price." ”
My cheerful attitude made the big shopkeeper smile even brighter, and he took the fox fur and looked it up and down carefully.
"Yo, what about the new silver-white hundred butterflies wearing patterned fox fur, Mrs. Ouyang, do you really want to be it?" The words of the big shopkeeper made me look up.
I smiled slightly, I haven't heard anyone call me Mrs. Ouyang for a long time, alas, hearing this title in such a situation now really makes me feel a little sad.
I sniffed and said loudly, "Dang, let's say, how much is it worth?" ”
The big shopkeeper gently touched the fox fur with his hand, as if considering what kind of price should be offered.
He pondered for a while before saying: "You are an old customer, and the last time the goods, let my master like it very much, he also specially instructed that as long as you come, we will pay a high price for the things in our hands." ”
I just smiled and didn't answer, I believed his words, because not everyone has such a good thing as a royal jade pendant in their hands.
Naturally, he would look up at what I had in my hand.
"This fox fur is also a boutique among the best, may I ask Mrs. Ouyang, do you want to live or die?" I understand from his words that the price of the live pawn is slightly lower than that of the dead pawn, because the live pawn still has a period of time, so that I can find a way to raise money to redeem the things.
If it is dead, it is equivalent to selling this fox fur to them, and it will never be redeemed again.
I took one last look at the fox fur, bit my lip and said, "Die!" ”
"Good, good! Hehe, Mrs. Ouyang is really a cheerful person, well, we will pay 800 taels of silver for this fox fur. ”
I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard it, this price is not low, hey, I am a little puzzled, the pawnshop industry is not so kind.
They make a living by driving down the price of goods, how can they suddenly give such a fair and good price this time.
Forget it, I don't have the mood and mind to waste on these things. Since he is willing to give this price, there is no reason why I should not agree.
"Okay, I promised." As soon as I had finished speaking, he took the silver ticket and some silver from his servant and gave it to me.
I had no intention of lingering here, so I went out and got into a carriage and left.
I first gave the coachman some pieces of silver, so that he could continue to follow me, so that it might be easier for me to travel.
Then I went to some small shops and bought a few simple and warm cotton clothes.
It was all small money, and when I had put some things in place and lodged in a small inn, I found that I had seven hundred and fifty taels of silver left in my pocket.
Alas, I can't spend it lavishly, because I don't know when I'll have it again.
I sat at the table in the small inn in a daze, what now?
Ouyang Deyuan, Poison Saint Master, and Pei Hanyi have all been poisoned by such powerful drugs, don't say they can't recognize me, and now they are bent on killing me......
I'm having a problem getting close to them, so how can I save them?
And what kind of kitsch is that? There is such a strong effect...... Enough to control people's minds......
I looked at the flickering candlelight in bewilderment, and alas, how could I suddenly fall to this point...... It was as if everyone had left me, and there was only one me alone in the vast land.
I was depressed, and suddenly I heard a commotion from downstairs of the inn, it was already evening, how could it be so noisy? Don't know if it will affect other people's rest?
Dissatisfied, I opened the door and walked out.
"It's him, it's this stinky boy, he dares to beat people when he steals things, everyone teach him a good lesson, see if he dare!" The innkeeper and the running hall and a few residents were beating up one person.
I saw that the thief who had been beaten was not very tall, as if he was still a child, so I immediately ran downstairs.
I pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting! He's still a kid! What he stole from you, I'll double the compensation for you, don't fight again. I shouted as hard as I pulled the innkeeper along.
I crouched down and hugged the ragged little boy so hard that they stopped.
A guy who ran away from the hall said to me: "Girl, I know that you are a good person and have a good heart, but this thief is so hateful, he came to steal things three times and twice, we haven't said anything yet, this time we caught him, he actually dared to hit someone, look at my face!" ”
I saw that the guy who ran the hall really had a wound on his face, and it seemed that this little boy was indeed wrong in the first place.
"I'm really sorry, he's the son of a distant cousin of mine, he was sick when he was a child, and his brain burned out, hehe, I'm sorry, your injuries and the losses in this store are all on me." After saying that, I immediately took out the silver in my pocket, which was a silver ticket of fifty taels.
I stuffed the silver ticket into the shopkeeper's hand and said, "Shopkeeper, don't be too little, take it first, show the guy the injury, or the things he took...... If it's not enough, I'll pay you ......"
This is a small inn, and the cost of staying for a month is only ten taels of silver, and now the shopkeeper suddenly holds a silver ticket of fifty taels in his hand, and his mouth is crooked when he laughs.
"Haha girl is polite, these are enough, enough......" He immediately stuffed the silver ticket into his arms, as if he was afraid that I would regret it and take it back.
When everyone saw this, they knew that the show was over, and they all slowly dispersed. I helped the beaten thief and walked slowly back to my room.
The little boy had a grease face, blood on his face, a sour smell all over his body, and his hair was scattered and weed-like, and I couldn't tell what he looked like.
It's just that his stubborn eyes keep staring at me, and I always feel that his eyes are familiar, as if I have seen them somewhere.
I asked him to sit on the edge of the bed, and asked Xiao Er to fetch some hot water, this winter is so cold, and the clothes on his body have been torn into rags, and he can't see the original appearance at all.
I touched his head and said, "Okay, the water is all right, let's take a shower first." ”
He stood up and walked to the bathtub, reached out and touched it, it was warm hot water, he turned to look at me and said, "You go out, I'll wash myself!" ”
I laughed and said, "People are small, but the rules are quite big, okay, I'll go out first." By the way, your clothes can't be worn anymore, you can wear the cotton clothes I bought first, I'm already on the bed. I'll ask Xiao Er to buy you a few more suitable cotton clothes, cotton pants and shoes. ”
I smiled at him, closed the door and walked out.
Xiao Er took the silver in my hand and went shopping happily, because every time I would give him a little more broken silver as the travel fee.
