Chapter 39: A Thief
I didn't let go of my hand, it was the only comfort I could give her.
"I'll definitely find a cure for you." I say.
I was ashamed because I was thinking of the old fox when I said this. I can't do it on my own.
"Am I ugly?" Ye Xianxian looked at me.
I lied: "No, you're not ugly."
"I know, you're lying to me."
I was ashamed in my heart, but my face remained silent: "No, I don't care what you become."
Actually, Ye Xianxian is very good and gentle with me, and I accepted her.
But this acceptance was somewhat forced, and I forced myself to accept her.
I care about her appearance. But for the sake of her happiness, I pretended not to care about her appearance.
Ye Xianxian was in a better mood: "Actually, I've been used to this kind of thing since I was a child."
I know she must have encountered a lot of this discrimination, and she didn't cry for herself. She's for me, and she thinks she's embarrassing me.
I looked at her and had to comfort: "Slim, no matter what you become, even if you can't be cured, you will always be like this." I will never leave you. ”
I'm telling the truth, and I can't say I don't care what she looks like. I still care a little about how she looks, but I've decided that I'm not going to leave her.
I've gotten used to it all my life, and I'm used to being with me all the time when it's unlucky.
Frankly speaking, it's good to have a wife like me. It's not my turn to pick three or four, and besides, this is a woman who is really good to me, better than ten thousand beautiful women.
Slender didn't speak, but she could tell she was very moved.
I wanted to ask her the question that had been wondering me for a long time, why she said she wanted me to be her boyfriend when she first saw me.
Ask her now and she'll tell me I'm just about to speak.
A figure flashed not far away, a figure that was all more familiar, old fox.
The old fox is sneaky and looks around. Much like a thief.
Slim also saw it, and we glanced at each other, forgetting the humiliation just now.
The two of us followed with a good heart, and the old fox was very alert. He kept looking around, and he became more and more mysterious.
The two of us are full of curiosity, isn't this old guy in Taishou Mansion, why is he sneaking around here.
The old fox lowered his head and walked in a hurry. We followed him for most of the day and found him in a blacksmith's shop.
The blacksmith shop was relatively rudimentary, and Slim and I saw the old fox and the owner of the blacksmith shop whispering.
I saw him mysteriously take out something from his arms. It was so far away that we couldn't see what it was
But the blacksmith boss looked scared. He shook his hands and didn't know what to say.
The old fox held out two fingers, and the fool could see that they were making a dirty deal.
The blacksmith boss hesitated, but shook his head. What the old fox told him to do must have been very risky, or he would not have refused.
The old fox had no choice but to stretch out five fingers, and the blacksmith boss gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great deal of determination. Finally nodded.
Money can make ghosts grind, and this principle is common everywhere.
I'm a little bored. The old fox must be doing something akin to black market trading.
What does this matter to me, this genius who has been deceived. This old liar, he can trick you so that you don't have any pants left, and you have to help him count the money.
Taishou really used him as a tool to collect money, and maybe he came here at the behest of Taishou.
Xian Xian was also a little impatient, so I had to drag her back to our capital post office.
Slim was hurt so much, and I didn't have the right words to comfort her. The only thing I could do was to hold her hand and continue to walk like this.
Several times she wanted to shake off her hand, she didn't want to embarrass me. But I held it tighter, and loved whoever I wanted.
We came back, and Monkey and Mao were obviously surprised.
The two of them were trying to make fun of us in all the language they could think of.
But when they saw Ye Xianxian's gloomy face to their mouths, they immediately swallowed it back.
Ye Xianxian shook off my hand and returned to her room without saying a word.
"Quarrelsome?" The monkey asked.
I found a stool and sat down and ate a bite of food on the table. The monkey is drinking with Mao.
I looked around and said to him, "The food is salty."
The monkey immediately forgot his curiosity and immediately agreed: "The deflated calf is getting more and more foolish."
In the evening they came back one after another like the birds in their nests, and they were all very happy. Xiaojuan, they chattered non-stop.
Me and the monkey Ah Mao, they're already a little smoked. The monkey slut immediately forgot his sadness, and ran to the side of the big and small Lanzi to offer his courtesy.
The old fox came back very late, and we were all waiting for him to have dinner together.
"Hey, you've had some happy event. Look, you're having fun. I said.
The old fox burst in and sat down next to me.
He ignored me, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, picked up the bowl, and pulled rice into his mouth.
After eating a few bites, the old fox spoke: "There is a task."
"I know, I see it. What did you do sneaking into the blacksmith shop in the afternoon? Recruit from the truth. ”
The old fox was stunned for a moment, and he stopped his chopsticks: "Did you see me?"
Xian Xian nodded: "We went out to play in the afternoon, and we happened to meet you and went to the blacksmith shop."
"Who else saw it?" The old fox was a little nervous.
I was a little dismissive: "No one sees you, it seems that you don't have anything to follow."
The old fox immediately grabbed my speech: "No one sees me, but it's a dog that sees me?"
The old fox didn't care and scolded Xian Xian too.
And I'm used to this kind of sarcasm and accept it.
Me: "Wangwang, I'll bite you to death."
The old fox is in a good mood today, and he is actually in the mood to joke with me: "The dog that bites people doesn't bark."
So I shut up and bit down on his arm.
The old fox reacted quickly, and when I bit down, I realized that my mouth was not his arm, but a bone that had been gnawed at leftovers.
They laughed, and I kept spitting. Anyone who has someone else gnawing on the remaining bone in their mouth will feel sick.
The old fox immediately calmed down: "We are busy."
The monkey rolled his eyes: "What's the matter, let's make money again." This Taishou is really a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed. It's really out of tricks, and now the poor and the rich are almost all looted by us. ”
He's right, the old fox is a natural genius for making money. But the people have long since gone hungry, and we have no more money to loot.
"Not this." The old fox said and took out a piece of paper from his bosom: "See for yourself."
I took it, soft to the touch. It turned out that this was not a piece of paper, but a piece of embroidered gold cloth.
Although Cai Lun has long improved papermaking. Because of the limitations of the times, it has not yet become popular.
Most of the official documents are still bamboo slips, and cloth is only used by nobles.
"Recruitment?" I looked at the cloth, and although I didn't know the ancient Chinese, I could barely read it that it said conscription.
"Well, there's a war, and there aren't enough soldiers." The old fox continued to pull the meal.
"War? With whom to fight?" I'm a little baffled.
The old fox pointed to the hammer: "Hammer, teach him a lesson."
"Me?" Hammer was surprised, he didn't expect the old fox to call him.
"What the hell do you tell you at night? Cast pearls before swine. "The old fox obviously didn't expect the hammer to be so faceless.
The hammer slammed down: "Oh, play yes." We're going to have a war right now, what's it called?"
The hammer touched his head, and finally the excitement of the brain circuit was connected: "By the way, it's called a snot war."
"Fuck off!" The old fox threw his chopsticks at the hammer.
The hammer was so frightened that he immediately shut up.
I comforted the hammer: "It's okay, eat your meal." Not to be angry with you. ”
So the hammer trembled and touched the chopsticks.
