Chapter 11: An Unexpected Visitor

86_86881After the discussion, Uncle Zhu asked Lin Yu to put away the jade pendant, Lin Yu thought about going shopping, but she hadn't shown the silver to Uncle Zhu yet, so she took out the silver with body temperature and asked, "Uncle Zhuzi, can you help me look at this silver?" ”

When Uncle Zhuzi was at home, he had already heard Apricot and Shuwa talk about their silver pickup, and when he heard Lin Yu ask him, he took the silver, looked at it, put it on his teeth and bit it, nodded and said: "This silver is real, I can't weigh the exact weight, but looking at the size, it is estimated that it can be a small half tael, and it will be enough for your family to buy some things later......

Afraid that Lin Yu would not understand the value of this silver, he explained: "The current sorghum rice is four wen a catty, pork is nineteen wen a catty, and the money has always been about one or two silver, so I estimate that your silver can be exchanged for three or four hundred copper coins." ”

Lin Yu nodded when he heard this, and he was overjoyed in his heart, according to Uncle Zhuzi's algorithm, if he could really get so much money, he would be able to buy a lot of things, at least for a short time, the three sisters and brothers would not be hungry for the time being.

She is not going to buy anything other than food, this bit of silver is still a lot for her at present, but in fact, no matter what era, money is useless, filling your stomach is the king!

I couldn't help but calculate the amount of food I needed to buy, as well as salt... Well, in addition, you have to buy a few chickens, such a wide wasteland around their house, chickens can be raised free-range, and it doesn't take much effort, and the hens can lay eggs when they grow up, and the roosters can be exchanged for some silver!

Speaking of exchanging money, she remembered that there was still dried snake skin and snake gall in the package, so she begged Uncle Zhu to take her to the pharmacy.

The pharmacy is on the street next to the Fujia Restaurant, very close. Lin Yu was afraid that Uncle Zhuzi's oxcart would be taken away by no one to watch, so he asked Uncle Zhuzi to wait outside and walked in by himself.

The door of the pharmacy is facing the medicine cabinet, and on the right is a consultation room, Lin Yu walked directly to the front of the counter, there was a guy in it who was grabbing the medicine, and when he heard the footsteps, he turned his head to look at her, and saw that it was a child, so he turned back and continued to grab the medicine.

Lin Yu is a little depressed, it seems that this age is too young is not necessarily a good thing, I guess others treat her as a naughty child.

She put the package on the counter and asked directly, "Do you accept the medicine?" ”

The guy turned his head to look at her again before replying, "Wait." ”

Lin Yu didn't dare to speak anymore, so he had to stand on the side. After the medicine was finished, she stepped forward and took out the snake skin and snake gall, and the guy picked it up and glanced at it, and said, "Shiwen." ”

"So little?" Lin Yu asked casually.

"This is the market, snake gall seven snake skin three text, there are more snakes, if you don't sell it, take it away, I still have a lot of business!" As he spoke, he put the snake gall snake skin on the counter, ready to go back and grab the medicine.

Lin Yu was afraid that he would really leave, so he hurriedly stopped: "Eh, don't go, the shopkeeper, I'll sell it." ”

No matter how little fly legs there are, it is also meat, and one more penny is better than one less, and these ten pennies can always buy a few catties of sorghum rice.

Afraid that Uncle Zhu was waiting outside, Lin Yu took the money and hurriedly ran out.

The two of them returned to the same street where they had come. When I arrived at the rice shop, I let the shopkeeper weigh the silver, and sure enough, there was a small half tael, and if I exchanged it for huàn, it was four hundred and fifty copper coins. When asked about the price of rice grain, Lin Yu asked the shopkeeper to weigh ten catties of rice in Qiwen, sorghum rice in Siwen and corn in Liuwen for twenty catties each, spending a total of 270 Wen.

I went to the grocery store next door to buy salt and pepper, and I didn't plan to buy anything else, but when I saw the pancreas that could be bathed, I thought that I hadn't taken a good bath for a long time, and finally I couldn't help but buy it, and it cost another thirty yuan to buy it.

Uncle Zhu also bought some rice and some items needed for the family, and the two of them piled up a bullock cart together.

Lin Yu looked at the food she bought and felt a lot more settled, as long as she saved and ate, she could still survive for a while, and during this time, she must think of a way to make money. The days without food were too difficult, and she definitely didn't want their three siblings to suffer like that again!

On the way back, I passed by the bun shop, smelled the overflowing fragrance, and the forest fish swallowed saliva greedily, and finally couldn't help but buy ten, divided into two parts, one insisted on giving Uncle Zhu to take back to the apricots for them to taste, and one was picked up by himself.

Just after the bun shop and saw a meat stall, the meat stall only left two knives of hind leg meat, a pair of stick bones and a little plate oil, the boss said that the back meat is too thin as only 16 wen a catty, the stick bone 6 wen yuan, the plate oil is more expensive, 20 wen a catty.

The forest fish ninja meat pain bought the stick bones and plate oil, but the hind leg meat was reluctant to buy, she thought that the stick bones could be boiled into soup to supplement calcium for the two children, and the plate oil could be stir-fried, anyway, it was stained with a bit of meat, and there was no need to buy meat, after all, the current conditions were just a little better, and eating meat was still too luxurious.

When I arrived at the livestock market, it was close to noon, and Lin Yu looked around and didn't see anyone selling chickens, so I had to put my mind down.

Uncle Zhuzi drove on the official road at last, Lin Yu's mood was very happy, much lighter than when he came, even when he arrived on the bumpy dirt road, he no longer felt unbearable, especially when he thought of the surprise of the two sisters and brothers who saw what she brought back later, her mouth couldn't help but bend.

Guankou Town is only seven or eight miles away from Quhe Village, and it takes only half an hour to drive there. Uncle Zhu went home first and took down his things, and then helped Lin Yu send back the food she bought.

Uncle Zhuzi's house was the only one in the house, Lin Yu just wanted to step forward and say a few words, but the grandmother opened her mouth anxiously: "Why did you come back?" Yu'er, someone from your house came to our house to look for you, and Apricot brought them over, you go back quickly! ”

Uncle Zhu also asked Lin Yu to come back quickly, and he would help her get the food in a while. Lin Yu had to say hello to Grandma and Uncle Zhuzi, and then rushed back.

On the way, she ran and wondered, who would look for her? It can't be her cheap grandfather, who is the one who found someone to bring the Xiao family back from here, how could he not find her home? But if it's not him, who could it be? She was a little confused for a moment.

From a distance, I saw two adobe houses in my house, a carriage was parked in front of the reclaimed yard dam, and there seemed to be several children squatting and playing next to it, and there were two people standing in front of the carriage, one in front and one behind, the one in front was slightly taller, and the waist was very straight, and the person behind seemed to be a small guy, and the two were facing the direction of the mountain and didn't know what they were talking about.

Lin Yu came to the front, and felt that the person in front of her looked a little familiar, she thought about it in her mind, and found that there was no such person in the memory of the original owner, that is, this familiarity came from herself, but she had only gone out today, so it stands to reason that she shouldn't know this person...... With a flash of inspiration in her head, she felt as if she knew who this person was!

But they came too quickly, she hadn't even arrived home, and this person actually came to find her.

She suppressed the shock in her heart and walked over slowly, and the two men also turned around when they heard the footsteps.

"Hello, may I ask ...... you?" asked Lin Yu, pretending not to know.

"Hehe, little girl, you're finally back, we've been waiting for you for a while." The tall man said with a smile.

"I wonder what you're looking for me?" Lin Yu didn't know how to react, although the jade pendant was originally his, but this person made such a kind appearance made her very uneasy, so she felt that she was still pretending to be stupid for the time being.

"Little girl, don't be afraid, we are really not bad people, we just came to you to get back the jade pendant you picked up this morning." The tall man saw Lin Yu's worry, and looked at the person who looked like a little guy, and the little guy also said kindly when he got it.

Lin Yu didn't speak, just looked at them quietly, pretending to be at a loss.

The little guy was a little anxious, and said in his heart that he shouldn't meet a fool, right? He glanced at his master anxiously, not knowing what to say next.

"Little girl, I don't know why you pretend not to know, but please don't embarrass us, although the jade pendant is beautiful, it is not for fun, if you want to have fun, I will exchange it for you with a more beautiful one, okay?" The tall man thought that Lin Yu felt that the jade pendant was beautiful and wanted to keep it for himself, so he took a step forward with his hands behind his back, but he still said with a smile, and his words were very tactful.

Lin Yu still didn't speak, looking at them with her eyes open, and before she could speak, she thought it was better not to speak.

The little girl looked at the appearance of the forest fish, and felt that this girl was too ignorant, and she didn't take a good look at who the master standing in front of her was? Actually this attitude!

Thinking of this, his face was not as good as before, and he was about to speak, but when he saw his master stretch out his hand and wave it in front of him, meaning that he should not speak, he had to stop talking, so he had to stop talking.

"Little girl, today in the rich restaurant, if someone hadn't chased Zhao, and seeing that you were a little girl with an innocent nature, Zhao would never let you help pick up the jade pendant, and your worry Zhao also understands, Zhao can assure you here, as long as you return the jade pendant to me, no one will come to your door to trouble!" The man claimed to be surnamed Zhao, and he was obviously very anxious, but he still spoke kindly to Lin Yu, broke her worries, and tried his best to reassure.

"Although I don't want to know why those people are chasing you, but now because of this jade pendant has linked the two of us together, we are just ordinary people, powerless and powerless, you can find us, they may also find it, I will return the jade pendant to you now, but if those people come later, they may not believe it if I have no evidence, if you have an enmity with them, and they are also extremely vicious people, then our family may not have a way to live!" Since the surnamed Zhao made his words clear, Lin Yu didn't want to pretend anymore, so he simply said the worries in his heart
