Although she had seen Aunt Hua, Tao Yunjin was still surprised, after all, seeing so many demons coming and going on the street, this was unimaginable before.

She even saw a fish demon walking in front of her, with a slippery head and two long whiskers hanging down from her mouth, looking like a catfish, but with her hands and feet together, in front of a crowded stall, she would say "borrowed." ”

Seeing her like this, Ah Yi was quite amused: "Slowly you will get used to it, we are like this here." Demons can do business, they may join the army, and they can also be officials. ”

Tao Yunjin immediately thought of a key question: "Don't they eat people?"

Ah Yi smiled: "Did Aunt Hua eat you?"

Tao Yunjin tilted his head and thought for a while: "You mean, the demon can eat people, or not, it all depends on whether he is willing or not." But isn't it dangerous for people to put the initiative in the hands of demons. ”

Ah Yi shook his head: "It's not dangerous, there are priests and monks in the city, they maintain order internally and defend against enemies externally, so most of the demons living in the city know the rules and abide by the rules." ”

As he was talking, the fish demon suddenly shouted: "You are a fool, I see you being a fool!"

The crowded stall was a gambling stall, and the fish demon itched his hands and stepped forward to play a few tricks, but he lost everything.

The person who set up the gambling stall was dressed in a short dress and was very capable, and he seemed to have a bit of kung fu, and his attitude was also very strong: "Fart! Lao Tzu has been setting up a stall here for several years, and he is the most credibly important, and you dare to come to the court with a stinky catfish? Big guy, look at it, this guy has two eyes on the two sides of his head, and he can't even see the dice in my hand clearly, and he still wants to play?"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd around them.

The fish demon was annoyed and ashamed, and jumped aside: "There is a kind of going through a few tricks with the old lady, let's speak with strength!"

The people around are not strange, the people and demons here are martial, and all disputes can be resolved with martial arts. They all got out of the way and let the stall owners come out.

The stall owner didn't talk nonsense, and stood up with a spear in his hand.

Watch the lively crowd wait for one person and one demon to stand still, and then form a circle around.

Tao Yunjin was about to stand on tiptoe to see what was going on, when he heard a light fly above his head, and the nail hit the treetops behind the crowd, and he split a branch with a bang.

It was a powerful sword light.

Ah Yi was speechless: "The people who maintain order are here." ”

Tao Yunjin looked around: "Where is it?"

Ah Yi: "People don't need to be there, just the sword light arrives." ”

Sure enough, the fish demon and the stall owner put away their knives and guns, and after one returned to the stall, the other left here and continued to walk. The crowd of people who watched the excitement also dispersed in a hurry.

Tao Yunjin smiled: "This trick is good, sit in the center, look at the Quartet, who dares to make trouble, eat the sword light." ”

After saying "Huh", he was surprised: "It still rhymes!"

Lu Yi's local products were very popular, and they were sold out in less than an hour, and Yao Gu had already left to go to the pharmacy to see if she could buy a few scarce medicinal materials in the mountains and forests.

According to his godfather's instructions, he bought a few New Year's goods, many of which were items that Tao Yunjin strongly requested to buy.

For example, a piece of pig pancreatic soap, a comb, a small copper mirror, a piece of cloth, and a brush.

Tao Yunjin even wanted to buy a box of rouge, so frightened that Ah Yi quickly retracted his outstretched hand.

Ah Yi felt sorry for money and felt that these things were very chicken.

Tao Yunjin was dissatisfied: "What's the matter? These are all necessities!"

Ah Yi pointed to the bronze mirror: "I'm a big man, is it necessary to look in the mirror every day?"

Tao Yunjin couldn't take his eyes off the mirror when he saw it, and looked at the person in the mirror carefully: "Your face is really not handsome, at most it is a middle-class posture." But it can't be helped, who calls you the host? The son doesn't dislike the mother ugly, and I don't dislike the host ugly. ”

Ah Yi was impatient: "Have you seen enough? This is on the street, I can't afford to lose that person." ”

As he was talking, a joke came from behind him: "Little brother is handsome! No wonder he likes to look in the mirror." ”

Turning around, several young people were holding their arms and looking at him with a smile.

Lu Yi's ears were a little red, and he hurriedly put away the mirror.

Tao Yunjin sneered: "I like it!" turned around and left.

The young people didn't let him go: "Walking is also girly, it won't be a chick pretending." ”

Ah Yi was unhappy: "Serious gentlemen, who is the mother?!"

The owner of the rouge stall said: "This guest officer, do you still want rouge?" I see that you like it very much, and you refuse to let it go, and it doesn't cost much, or buy it!"

There was a burst of laughter from the young people, and Lu Yi's ears were hot, so he hurriedly fled.

Turning a street corner, he stopped, and said unhappily: "Remember that you are now in a man's body, not the eldest lady you used to be." ”

Tao Yunjin pouted, and wanted to criticize my princess for her illness, and besides, I was not a big lady before.

But the reality that Lu Yi is a straight man of steel is in front of her, and she has no interest in arguing a few words.

glanced out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly saw a pawnshop, just changed the topic, and hurriedly pulled Ah Yi in.

The teller at the reception was warm and thoughtful and served him tea. "Guest, what do you want to be?"

Lu Yi said embarrassedly: "I'm not right." I'm going to ask you to get an estimate, is that okay?"

The teller blinked, and in the spirit of the businessman's tact, he quickly nodded: "Yes, yes." ”

Lu Yi carefully took out the wooden box, took out the chalcedony, and handed it to the teller.

The teller looked at the sunlight for a while and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, I'll ask the shopkeeper to take a look." ”

As he spoke, he went to the back hall with the wooden box in his hand.

The back hall is not big, there are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls, the museum shelves are full of small antiques, a pot of orchids decorated with buds is placed on the coffee table, and a rockery covered with moss is arranged extremely elegantly.

A man stands behind a bookcase, copying a pair of letters.

The man was of medium stature, with a carved head on his neck, and when he heard the teller's footsteps, he finished writing in his hand before putting down the brush.

While taking the wooden box, he raised his eyelids and glanced at the teller, who was inexplicably a little timid.

No way, who called him an eagle owl, born with sharp eyes.

After opening the lid of the box and looking at it for a long time, the teller felt that he was not having an illusion, and always felt that the shopkeeper's gaze was becoming more and more sharp.

Closing the wooden box, the shopkeeper walked out from behind the bookcase, walked to the curtain separating the front and back halls, and opened a crack, and saw a very young man sitting in the front hall, dressed as a mountain hunter, not like a priest or a monk.

The shopkeeper turned around and asked in a low voice, "When or sell?"

The teller followed behind him, and at the moment he was busy saying, "If you don't sell it, don't sell it." Please estimate the price. ”

The shopkeeper's brows were furrowed, and the teller thought he was unwilling, so he said, "Why don't I go back to him?"

The shopkeeper immediately shook his head, paced back to the bookcase step by step, seemed to think as he walked, and finally decided: "Give him three thousand, and ask him if he would like to sell." ”

The teller's eyes widened, thinking that he had lost his eyes again, and thought that this chalcedony was ordinary, at most a dozen taels.

So he respectfully took the wooden box and returned to the front hall, and put it in front of Lu Yi with a smile: "Master, you have put away this chalcedony." ”

Lu Yi was stunned: "What, the shopkeeper is unwilling to help me appraise?"

The teller smiled: "Not either." If you want to sell it or not, we are still waiting for good tea and water here. If you're willing to sell, our shopkeeper can make a price. ”

As he spoke, he paid attention to Lu Yi's expression.

Ah Yi was about to refuse, but Tao Yunjin stopped him: "What's the hurry, it's okay to talk about the price." ”

Then he said, "How much are you shopkeepers willing to give?"

As soon as the teller saw the play, he proudly stretched out his index and middle fingers.

Lu Yi looked at the two fingers and said tentatively: "Second ...... Ten?"

The teller shook his head as he became more and more proud.

Lu Yi scratched his head: "Two hundred?"

The teller smiled: "Two thousand." ”

Lu Yi was very surprised, opened the wooden box again and glanced at the chalcedony, he didn't expect this thing to be so valuable, and he was even more uneasy, did his godfather know it? This is two thousand! Will he regret giving it to me? Do you want to tell him about today's events?

For a while, my mind was a little messy, and I stood there without speaking.

The teller said with confidence: "Master, our shopkeeper likes it and is willing to pay this price, but he may not be willing to change to another house." If you hesitate, the shopkeeper will be happy to pass, and you will regret not having this shop in this village. ”

He looked at Lu Yi's dress, and he had already seen that he was a hunter in the mountains, and he had never seen the world. The shopkeeper liked this thing, so he helped the shopkeeper bargain and saved a thousand to go back to the shopkeeper to ask for credit.

Lu Yi put away the wooden box, looked up and smiled: "Thank you." ”

Lift your feet and go out.

The teller was stunned and hurried to the door to stop him. "Master, are you leaving?"

Lu Yi smiled: "Yes, I asked you to estimate the price, you estimated, I thanked you, so I won't bother much." ”

The teller was like a wooden pestle at the door, watching Lu Yi leave blankly.

As soon as he turned around, the shopkeeper's gloomy face was close at hand.

The teller was busy smiling, but he didn't prevent the shopkeeper's backhand from being a slap in the face. Crisp and loud. "Fool!

The teller covered his face and wanted to cry without tears. Although it is wrong to make a self-assertion, but if you add that thousand, that stupid boy may not be willing to sell it!

The eagle owl stood at the door, his sharp eyes watching Lu Yi's back go away.

Lu Yi looked for three or four pharmacies on the street, and finally found the medicine aunt, who was holding the shopkeeper's hand and chatting about family life.

When the shopkeeper saw Lu Yi coming in, he exaggerated "Yo": "Let's see whose young man this is, how energetic he is, my sister hasn't seen you for a while, I didn't expect to be so tall!"

Lu Yi was not very accustomed to this enthusiastic female shopkeeper, and laughed dryly on the side.

Yao Gu was helpless: "I said Ah Qing, don't pretend to be young at your age, okay?

Ah Qing was unhappy: "Stingy! What's wrong with my sister? My Ah Qing is happy to be a sister, so I will be a sister for the rest of my life." ”

Yao Gu quipped: "Ah Yi calls me an aunt, and you are his sister, so do you also want to call me an aunt?"

A Qing glanced at her: "You just love to take advantage of me." ”

Then he leaned close to Yao Gu's ear and lowered his voice: "With such a good descendant watching in front of you every day, you are not hungry at all?"

Yao Gu pushed her into the inner hall: "Why is there no shape!"

Suddenly, he probed out again and instructed Lu Yi: "Ah Yi, you go out of the city first, I will catch up soon." Aqing said that the city gate has been closed early recently, because there are a large number of A clans nearby, so you should be careful. ”

Lu Yi agreed, picked up the packaged medicinal herbs and walked out of the door towards the city gate.

Ah Qing was pushed by the medicine aunt, and hurriedly pulled the corners of her skirt, tidied up her clothes and headdress: "What are you doing!"

Then he lowered his voice: "Didn't you go to the city today to find him?"

Yao Gu knew that she was going to talk about this next, so she pulled her to the inner room. He bowed his head and was silent for a while, and said, "He didn't ask me to go, for fear that people would see me." ”

A-Qing frowned: "What does he mean? You are not married to me, why are you afraid of people see......ing? He doesn't want to be nice with you?"

Yao Gu sighed: "No. I could see that he was genuinely treating me. ”

Ah Qing raised her eyebrows: "Then why did he tell you to wait for so many years?

Yao Gu fell silent.

Ah Qing shook his head and sighed: "You, you're just too stupid! I liked him since I was a brother and sister in the same school, but I never dared to say it, but now I finally pierced a layer of window paper, you are translucent here, and you don't cover anything, what about him? It's still pitch black, and the promise can't be seen, and the action can't be seen." Even I will take care of you!"

Yao Gu bowed her head and said nothing, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

Ah Qing hurriedly wiped her gently with a handkerchief: "Look, you see, you came again without saying a few words, I really can't do anything about you." ”

The two muttered and talked in the inner hall for a long time before Yao Gu wiped away her tears and reluctantly left.
