Bai Tiao'er took another sip of old wine, looked at Qi'er with a smile on his face and said, "That's all the credit of my good grandson!" Looking at Qi'er's confused expression, he continued: "It's those shells you picked up, which can be sold for sixty copper coins!"

"Ahh

"Hehe, actually, it's just the money you sold for that conch. ”

"Conch ......" Qi'er remembered the conch shell he picked up last time, the size of his little hand, the sharp tail of the spiral accounted for one-third of the snail body, the screw mouth of the conch is particularly large, the snail mouth is extended upwards at sharp angles, and the snail body looks like a bird's wings, and the whole body of the snail shell is purple and white rotating threads, which are also very shiny.

Qi'er had been playing for a few days at first, and it was indeed very good-looking, but it couldn't have been worth so much money! In his heart, it would be very good to be able to sell three or five copper coins.

"Grandpa, what the hell is going on?"

"Alas, the children of rich families, what a ......" Bai Tiao'er couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "Today there is a girl with two ponytails, well...... Dressed beautifully, she looks like the kind of rich kid, and she noticed the shells when she passed by my stall, and then she took a fancy to the conch shell. When I was about to sell three copper coins to her, who knew that a little boy suddenly appeared behind the little girl, shouting, 'Ten copper coins, grandpa, I will give ten copper coins!'"

Bai Tiao'er ate a piece of salted fish, took another sip of wine, and continued: "That little girl still knows that kid, and when she saw that kid, she looked very angry and called his name fiercely. Alas, what's that boy's name...... Oh, by the way, it's called Zhu Hewei, and then the girl scolded the boy for being a 'pig tail' and 'you stinky pig tail'! Hmm, that kid...... He doesn't look likeable, but he is very polite, and he has a good temper with a 'grandpa' to me, and the girl is not angry when he scolds him, and he smiles and ......"

Qi'er laughed when she heard her grandfather talk about "pig tail", and it could be seen that her grandfather couldn't stop chattering, so she couldn't help but say: "Grandpa, I know, it was they who compared the price with each other to sell for so much money, so who bought it in the end?"

"It's a girl, and the kid didn't argue when he saw that she was about to cry, as if he was deliberately trying to make this girl angry...... Hey, that girl's temper is too bad, she must have been spoiled since she was a child!" Bai Tiao'er said and frowned, as if she remembered something, and continued: "I saw that the girl spent so many copper coins, and I couldn't help it, and after I found her forty copper coins, I kindly gave her the rest of the shells. Hey, this kid, you don't want it, forget it! But he threw all his anger on these shells, and threw them all to the ground, and crushed them one by one. ”

That night, the slightly drunk grandfather and grandson were very happy, and after washing, they lay on the bed to chat and rest. Tomorrow Qi'er will go to school in the town, and then they will be separated for a period of time, and the grandfather and grandson will depend on each other for many years, and it is inevitable that they will be a little reluctant. Qi'er snuggled in her grandfather's arms, as if she had endless words, and it wasn't until after the second watch that she fell asleep in a burst of sleepiness.

The full moon as big as a bathtub hangs in the sky, and there is not a single star in the sky except for this ridiculously large bright moon, but it is much brighter than any starry night sky.

Qi'er felt that the sky was so low, as if she could touch the big moon as soon as she raised her hand, but it was out of reach! The dark night sky was illuminated by this huge bright moon, and the quiet and cool night made Qi'er feel extremely comfortable!

Such a night sky does not belong to this world, Qi'er has never seen such a big bright moon, and he has never felt such a comfortable and beautiful night!

A well? No, it's a wellhead, such a big well! The frighteningly big full moon shone into the well from the wellhead, and the bright moonlight gently sprinkled on Qi'er. Wow! It's so beautiful! Qi'er couldn't help but sigh. No, Qi'er suddenly became clever, he realized that he was in the well, and he would see the big full moon in the sky from the mouth of the well.

Before Qi'er could be afraid, he felt his body suddenly sink and began to fall downward, he opened his mouth wide and shouted loudly, but he couldn't hear a sound. Qi'er's eyes were white, and he couldn't see anything clearly, as if he was in a thick fog, he couldn't hear his own shouting, but he could hear the sound of "clang, rattling" coming from this "dense fog", the sound was noisy, like a pile of iron chains dragging on the ground.

Qi'er didn't know how long it had fallen, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss, he stopped shouting silently, although it was hazy in front of him, but when he looked up, the wellhead and the bright full moon were still close in front of him, as if he had never fallen down, but his body was still falling.

This endless abyss......

Qi'er's feeling is becoming more and more illusory, this illusory feeling is very wonderful, the body is obviously still falling, but he can no longer feel a sense of falling, it seems very natural! The white "thick fog" around him is slowly disappearing, and Qi'er's eyes are gradually becoming clearer, just when he feels that he wants to see something, he suddenly feels a force coming from under his feet, and he is pulled down by something.

Qi'er couldn't help but look down, and actually saw an iron chain, half the thickness of his wrist, extending downward, feeling like this endless abyss growing to no end.

Qi'er could clearly feel that the chain was connected to his body, but he couldn't feel or see the place where the chain was connected to his body, the place from his stomach to his calf was illusory, but he saw the chain wrapped around the calf of his right leg, and just when he was in a daze, suddenly a blue-gray palm grabbed his face......

Qi'er sat up from the bed with an "ah", and the last terrifying palm still came to mind, like five fingers like withered branches, sharp long nails, like a huge eagle's claws. Qi'er came to his senses and found that his grandfather was not around, so he turned his head to look at the window, and the light that came in through the gap knew that it was almost dawn.

"It's that dream again. Qi'er muttered in his mouth, and while he got up and dressed, he thought to himself: "This dream has grown a lot!"

Qi'er has been having this strange dream since he can remember, several times a year, and he remembers it very clearly after waking up, but every time he is in a dream, he is at a loss, which is why he is unknown in the dream and feels familiar. In the past few years, Qi'er has been scared to wake up every time she dreams that she is falling downward, but this time the dream is much longer, like a book finally turning a new page.

After eating the breakfast cooked by my grandfather, it was already dawn. Grandpa called Qi'er to the room, took out a small flower cloth bag and put it on the bed, opened the flower cloth and saw that it was full of money, but it was all copper coins, and some small copper coins, which were estimated to be worth two silver coins.

Bai Tiao'er reached out and rummaged through the copper coins, and even turned out a few white silver coins, but he was not for the silver coins, and there was a small gray money bag in the pile of coins wrapped in this flower cloth.

This is a common small money bag, a piece of cloth is folded in half and sewn on both sides, sewn into the shape of a large bottom and a small mouth, and then sew a cloth rope into the mouth of the money bag, leaving a section at each end of the rope exposed, and then knotting the two ends of the rope, so that you can tighten the mouth of the money bag by gently pulling the rope loop with your fingers.

Bai Tiao'er picked up the small money bag, looked at Qi'er with a solemn face and said, "Grandson, you are going to school in the town today, and you will be a big child in the future, so you can't be called 'Qi'er'." You're not an ordinary kid, and you're not a ...... picked up by your grandfather."

"Huh?" Qi'er looked at her grandfather with a surprised expression.

"Hey!" Bai Tiao'er sighed softly, opened the money bag in his hand, and pulled out a red string from it with his fingers, and a yellow gold coin hung under the red string. This gold coin is not currency, whether it is a copper coin, a silver coin or a gold coin, which is legally circulated in various countries and cities, it is minted with an exclusive character print.

Like the currency of the Demon Country, in addition to the unique lace fine lines cast on it, the front side is also cast with the exclusive word "Yuan", and the reverse side is also cast with the exclusive word "Xue". The small copper coin is the simplest to cast, thin and small, and there is a small round hole in the middle, and the pattern on it is a very simple pattern. Small copper coins are commonly known as small coins, and because they are the same substance as copper coins, ten small coins are worth one copper coin.

Qi'er had never seen a gold coin, and looking at the gold coin pendant in her grandfather's hand, she couldn't help but say in surprise, "This copper coin is so bright and yellow!"

"It's gold. Bai Tiao'er said and handed it to Qi'er.

"Gold coins!" Qi'er looked at his grandfather in shock, and hurriedly took it into his hand to look at it, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Oh my God! Gold coins, isn't that a hundred silver coins!" This gold coin is smaller than ordinary currency, one side is a "charm" character, and the other side is a lotus flower pattern.

Bai Tiao'er sighed lightly and said, "Qi'er, listen to grandpa, what grandpa is going to say next may sound like nonsense, but grandpa assures you that what he said is true!"

Qi'er answered, looked up at her grandfather and said, "Of course Qi'er believes what grandpa said." ”
