At this time, it was already very dark, but fortunately, Meng Fusheng's martial arts eyesight was very good, so that he would not be blind, but this also brought great difficulties to his search.

But Meng Fusheng didn't flinch because of this, he groped around the place where the jade pendant might fall, and even threw away the soft soil, for fear that he would accidentally step on the dirt by falling in the morning, but he never found it, which made him anxious.

At this time, there was a sudden strong wind, and then it rained, the rain became heavier and heavier, which was worse for Meng Fusheng, the arrival of the heavy rain made the sky darker and darker, he could barely see clearly, but now he could only see a hazy piece, Rao was so he was not willing to give up, buried his head like a hard farmer working in the field and worked hard to find the black land, this piece of mud was going to be turned over by him and still found nothing.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, the soil on the mountain was soft, and it was very likely that there would be danger if it was a little later, he didn't care, but thinking of the promise to Senior Brother Shengyun and Du Weizhen, he wiped the wet water on his face that didn't know whether it was tears, sweat or rain, and stepped on heavy footsteps, lost his soul and went down the mountain.

When he went back, he regretted it again, thinking that maybe he could find it if he held on a little longer? It rained so heavily tonight, if the jade pendant fell there, it was very likely that it would be buried deeper, and the chance of finding it would shrink infinitely, he thought about it, his heart was like a knife, and he had no intention of washing the stains on his body, let alone having dinner, changed into clean clothes, covered his eyes and fell asleep.

He originally thought that he would not be able to sleep tonight, but he did not expect that he would soon lose consciousness.

The next day, he opened his eyes with great difficulty, and his eyes were groggy, and as soon as he remembered it, he found that there was a soft weakness in his body, and the heat on his body was far more than normal, and he reacted in a trance, oh, he had a fever.

Meng Fusheng didn't have a big reaction to this result, he didn't even take a hot shower after getting drenched in the rain, it was not strange to catch a cold, he even had a self-punishment nature in it, he felt that he had lost the jade pendant that Yan'er was carrying, why should he be good?

With that in mind, he lay back on the bed. But the empty stomach protested, and his stomach was even hungry and painful, so Meng Fusheng staggered and helped things out of bed, and asked the shopkeeper to send hot water up, and after he drank it, he used his internal force to urge sweat, and the hot sweat soaked his clothes. But the result was very good, his fever quickly subsided, and his body was more comfortable, but it was still not completely cured, and with the willingness of the mood, he looked very gloomy and sullen, and his lips were sickly white.

The crisp and moving song resounded through the empty mountainside, only to see a petite figure jumping around, and then stopped in a place, it was the little girl, she was holding a basket and humming a song to the place where she picked wild vegetables yesterday, with this cheerful smile on her face, just as she passed by the place where Meng Fusheng collected medicine yesterday, she suddenly stepped on something hard.

She let out a puzzled "huh", then looked at the ground, where the sun shone on something, refracting a dazzling light. The little girl showed a shocked expression, then picked up a jade pendant and wiped the dirt off its surface, although she didn't understand this, but from the warm touch she could guess that it must be a very expensive thing. And this jade pendant is very delicate, like a girl's belongings.

The little girl originally thought about whether it would be the eldest brother, but after thinking about it, how could the eldest brother wear such a feminine thing, so she dispelled this idea. But if Meng Fusheng was here, he must have been so excited that he couldn't speak, it turned out that this was Du Yueyan's jade pendant.

Presumably he was trampled into the dirt by him or the little girl after falling from Meng Fusheng's body yesterday, Meng Fusheng's rummaging yesterday was at night and it was raining heavily, and it was definitely not so careful, and the jade pendant was washed up by the downpour that fell all night, and it was picked up by the little girl.

The little girl didn't have any idea when she picked it up at first, thinking that maybe it was a rich lady who accidentally dropped it when she went up the mountain to play, so she simply put it in her arms first, and paid attention to it while picking wild vegetables not far away, to see if anyone came to find it. But when he finished picking wild vegetables, and waited for another hour or two and no one came, she took out the jade pendant and looked at it, and couldn't help but have other thoughts in her heart.

"Maybe someone else doesn't want it?" The little girl had a whimsical idea, "The young lady of the rich family likes the new and hates the old the most, so she thinks that the jade pendant is too old and loses it and buys a new one." ”

She knew that such a possibility was very small, but the natural selfishness of human beings made her think that this conjecture was correct.

Anyway, I can't wait for someone to come, so why don't you just treat the jade pendant? The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and then, like a thief, she once again carried the jade pendant in her arms, and with a basket full of wild vegetables, she sneaked down the mountain and found the largest pawnshop in town.

This was the first time the little girl had come to such a place, and she was a little nervous, swallowed several times at the door, and stomped her feet again, and then gritted her teeth and walked in.

There are not many people in the pawnshop, after all, there are not many people in the town, most of them are ordinary people, and there are no treasures at home.

The shopkeeper behind the cabinet saw a half-old girl come in, so he opened his drooping eyelids and said weakly, "This is not a toy shop." ”

The little girl plucked up the courage to walk over, then slapped the jade pendant on the table and made up a lie: "This is my mother's jade pendant, she asked me to be it, you see how much it is worth." ”

The shopkeeper was not interested, but as soon as his eyes fell on the jade pendant, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but play with it in the palm of his hand, and put it under his nose to watch carefully, and his heart was shocked, this is a good thing, he looked at the thin little girl outside, and he didn't think that she could still take out such a treasure.

The shopkeeper coughed a few times, his expression became careless, and he threw the jade pendant back and said, "Twenty taels of silver." "This jade pendant is worth at least a thousand taels of silver, but for a little girl who has never seen the world, this money is enough. She was afraid that she had never seen so much money in her life, and the shopkeeper thought triumphantly, she must have happily sold the jade pendant.

In fact, he still miscalculated, this jade pendant is carved from rare mutton fat white jade, which can be regarded as a tribute, where is the price calculated by a pawnshop shopkeeper in a small town who has never seen the world?
