Chapter 55: Selling Scorpions to Make Money

The black paint gives the house a sheer finish, and the whole room has only one window, which is very large, on the opposite side of the door.

The large bed lies flat on the right-hand side of the door, and a large table and a few chairs are just a few steps away from the bed; On the right-hand side is a bathtub blocked by a screen, and the whole room looks very simple.

Lu Manman got up from the chair, ran to the door in a panic and closed the door, and then asked him timidly, "Big brother, what do you think?" We don't have any money, what should we do? ”

Li Chenluo said lightly: "If you come, you will be safe." ”

He really didn't think much about anything, and just used one sentence to make Lu Manman extremely worried.

Lu Man scratched his head and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

She wondered if this man had the money to settle the bill. Could it be that he really planned to mortgage her here to work as a coolie? No, she had to find a way to solve the tricky problem at hand!

Li Chenluo explained, "It's right to believe me, I am worthy of your trust." ”

This made Lu Manman very panicked, and she didn't know what to do, so she said, "Hey, I'm panicking, I'd better figure it out myself." ”

"If you have a way, I'll go take a shower first and wash away the filth on this body."

Li Chenluo didn't think so, he didn't know what she was worried about, since he brought her here, there would definitely be a way to solve it!

I saw Lu Long sigh and said, "Okay, I want to think about it." ”

Li Chenluo thought about it when he was about to walk behind the screen, then stopped, turned his head to the road and said: "By the way, you go to the shop Xiaoer to send gold sore medicine and gauze, it's best to get a few new clothes, you look at me, sloppy, you can be a beggar on the street." ”

Lu Long was a little cowardly, so he asked, "Okay, don't you have to give money?" ”

Sure enough, people who don't have money dare to speak.

Li Chenluo said gently: "There are all on the account, and the settlement will be made when you check out." ”

He just wanted to take a shower now, so he didn't care so much.

Lu Long asked again: "Then when are we going to check out?" ”

Li Chenluo said casually: "Let's see how my wound recovers." ”

Lu Manman's eyes widened after listening, and he said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you go wash up." ”

Then she ran to the staircase, held on to the handrail, and shouted below: "Little Er! Little two! ”

When the shopkeeper heard someone shouting to him, he staggered up the stairs, and asked as he walked up, "This guest officer, what are your orders?" ”

Lu Man frowned and said, "Take two sets of clothes, as well as gold sore medicine and gauze, remember to send them soon." ”

The shopkeeper nodded politely, and then responded, "Okay guest officer." ”

After saying this, the shopkeeper was about to turn her head immediately, but she was stopped by Lu Manman, and she asked, "Wait a minute, how do you settle the bill?" ”

The shopkeeper explained to Lu Manman without thinking about it, and he said: "We all have bookkeeping, and we can settle it in installments, or we can pay the full amount after checking out." ”

"Okay, okay, then you can go and get busy first."

Lu Manman really wanted to let him go this time, but the shopkeeper nodded and said, "The little one has retreated." ”

As a result, the shopkeeper hadn't walked a few steps and was stopped by the long road, she said embarrassedly: "Alas, wait, wait, let me ask you another question, do you know where the medical center near here is?" ”

She turned her head and remembered that she still had a few scorpion meat on her body, Li Chenluo said that this can be used in medicine, and now that she thinks about it, she should be able to exchange it for a few pennies to save the emergency.

This time, the shopkeeper didn't turn around, but introduced while going downstairs: "You can see it when you walk all the way out of the inn on the left hand side." ”

Lu Manman thanked him embarrassedly, "Okay, thank you, thank you." ”

The shopkeeper didn't think there was anything wrong, so he said, "You're welcome." ”

She followed the shopkeeper downstairs, and the shopkeeper politely led the way to the door, and personally pointed out the route to the medical hall.

After Lu Long gladly accepted, he strolled down the street with only enough space for two carriages in parallel.

Bluestone houses can be seen everywhere, and the real roads should have been paved with bluestone before, but now they are too old to see the original color.

The road was long and kept walking according to the words of the shopkeeper, and finally, before I walked a few steps, I arrived at the medical hall that the shopkeeper said.

The medical hall is very old, especially the signboard that may fall at any time, it may be too early, and there is no one in the medical hall now.

Lu Manman secretly rejoiced in her heart, this is fine, no one is easy to do, otherwise she is thin-skinned and afraid of being gossiped.

Lu walked into the threshold of this medical hall in a low manner, and then walked inside, and sat on a chair in front of the table of an old man who was over seventy years old.

Then she took out the burden in her arms and showed it to the old man.

She asked, "Doctor, can you see if my scorpion meat can come out?" ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Manman was very worried in her heart, she was afraid that people would not accept it, and she thought that she was here to smash the field, and she would sweep herself away......

Lao Langzhong looked at Lu Manman very kindly, and then lowered his head to look at the package she took out, but it was too far away, and his eyes were a little bad, so he said, "This ...... Can you take a closer look? ”

Lu Manman politely opened the package, then moved it to Lao Langzhong, and said, "Please take a look." ”

Lao Langzhong's eyes lit up, and he recognized what this thing was, and he said, "Scorpion meat, is this scorpion poisonous?" It's not easy to get out of the poison! ”

Lu Manman introduced: "I've eaten several, isn't this still alive and well?" ”

Lao Langzhong didn't believe it after hearing this, these scorpions didn't seem to be bred by herself, they should be wild, and how could wild scorpions be safe?

No, he's going to find out.

The old man's eyebrows seemed to be dancing, he sank, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll give you a pulse first." ”

Lu Manman nodded, "Okay." ”

She stretched out her hand, her clothes were dirty, for fear of soiling Lao Langzhong's hands, she pulled up her sleeves, and then put them in front of Lao Langzhong with confidence.

Lao Langzhong stretched out his right hand to check the pulse, his brows were still slightly furrowed, he was confirming whether this guest was a daughter......

Finally, he soothed a moment and nodded meaningfully, "Hmm...... The girl's health is very good, has she been hungry or thirsty recently? ”

Lu Manman felt that he had been exposed, so he replied to him embarrassedly, "Yes, I just entered the city today, and I haven't recovered yet." ”

Lao Langzhong habitually stroked his beard, which was no longer there, and said with a smile: "Oh, some dehydration, this scorpion meat really didn't cause harm to the girl's body, otherwise, girl, you can make a price and sell these to me?" ”

"I don't understand the market, you just say it, just take as much as you want!"

Lu Manman was very greedy for this sentence, but she didn't know how much to sell......

Lao Langzhong understood, then thought about it, and gave a reasonable price for the long road, he said: "That's it, the girl's scorpion meat is already a familiar person, if you don't buy it to others immediately, then I will also lose it, it is not easy to store, this scorpion is of different sizes, and the old decay produces two taels of gold, what does the girl think?" ”

Two taels of gold, now for Lu Manman, he can give as much as he wants, not to mention that these two taels of gold are after the price is lowered, no matter what, she is very happy.

She slapped the table with a smile and said, "Okay, deal." ”

Lu Manman thought that this was the end of the matter, but it turned out that this old man was kind-hearted and made up a lot of things for Lu Manman.

He said: "Old decay, you can make up for a few bottles of medicine and bruises, otherwise the girl will be too bad." ”

She gladly accepted and nodded, "Doctor is polite, thank you so much anyway." ”

"Please wait a moment, in vain, and get two taels of gold and a few bottles of good general medicine!"

Lao Langzhong turned his head and called his little apprentice to come out and get money and medicine.

After a while, out of nowhere, a boy with the same figure as Lu Manman, with a ruddy face and fair skin, said politely to the old man: "Master, the medicine and money you want." ”

After speaking, he wanted to hand over the things in his hand to Lao Langzhong, but Lao Langzhong said, "Give it to this little brother." ”

Lu Manman was a little dazed when he heard it, Lao Langzhong didn't call himself a girl, but shouted to his apprentice that he was a man, what was he doing?

"Oh, please take it, guest officer."

After the little boy finished explaining, he handed the items in his arms to Lu Manman.

Lu Man smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

After the little boy left, Lu Manman asked Lao Langzhong curiously, and she said, "Doctor, I have something very doubtful, how did you see that I was a daughter, and why did you ...... just now?"

The old man saw the idea of a long way, so he said, "Didn't I demolish you in front of him?" There are some differences between men and women, since the girl is out to walk the rivers and lakes, she generally doesn't want others to know her identity, and she still understands this old age. ”

After listening to Lu Manman, she no longer suddenly realized, she thanked him again and again, "Thank you!" ”

Thank you to him for keeping a secret from him, and thank him for his kindness.

Lao Langzhong finally explained, "Go ahead, buy something delicious, and add that the girl's family can't treat herself badly." ”

Lu Manman also accepted it gladly, she said: "Okay! Doctor, we'll see you soon! ”

He also narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Hahaha, goodbye to the rivers and lakes, the guest officer walks slowly." ”

At this time, when Lu Long stepped out of the medical hall, the thief had an aura, and she was full of confidence, and sure enough, rich people were different, and even spoke with confidence.

The road is long and she didn't forget to check the gold and medicine in the bag, it is true, great, she can use the money to pay the bill, and then when she sends Li Chenluo home, she is not afraid that there will be no dry food and water on the road!

She was very happy and excited, how did her little head do something worthy of Li Chenluo's praise!
