Chapter 8: Miracles
The human heart is a very interesting thing.
Shaolan remembered a small game he played in middle school, and the girl sitting in front of him hated it at the time, so he wanted to play with her.
Shaolan said in front of the girl that she wanted to tell her table mate a big secret about the girl.
In fact, of course, Shaolan didn't know any of her secrets, but just pretended to speak, but in fact didn't say anything.
It's just that the same table is a drama spirit, and then the girl really believes that the two of them have what password she has, so she has to know, and she is angry and crying.
In the end, no matter how Shaolan and her table mates explained, they didn't know any secrets at all, and the girl didn't believe it, so she had to tell a secret. (You can play this little game)
Shaolan looked at the two little boys with a weak face, and smiled incomprehensibly.
They shuddered in unison.
Separated from the young man, Shaolan went back to lunch, and then followed Mu Shang, Mu Wen, and Mu Wu to hang around.
I couldn't stay in the carpenter's shop all the time, it was too boring.
Momiji Castle is not big, only a short commercial street.
In addition to shops, there are also many people who set up stalls on the street.
looked at Shaolan and stopped.
This is?
Holy.
Shaolan blurted out, thinking that she was dazzled, rubbing her eyes and looking again, to make sure that she was not mistaken.
This is sweet potato.
Isn't sweet potato an alien species? How this era will appear here.
It seems that he did not travel to ancient times, but to another world.
"Childe, you have such a good eye, this is a rare delicacy."
The taste of sweet potatoes does not need to be explained by the other party at all.
"How much?"
"Two with one stone, three hundred texts."
Note: Stone is a unit of capacity, not a unit of weight, and the size of the stone in different dynasties is also different, so everyone should be two sacks and one stone. The weight of 1 stone item is also different for different things, and the conversion of rice is about 150 catties, which is set like this in this book.
"One stone of rice is only three or five hundred wen, and you want two and three hundred wen?" Mu Wu grabbed the stall merchant by the collar.
"My lord is angry, I have to travel thousands of miles to transport things to sell, and it also costs money, right? Besides, it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it. ”
"Okay, let him go, I'll buy it."
"Nope." The carpenter flatly refused, "The money is not used to buy you this messy food. ”
Shaolan remembered this fact.
Looking at Mu Wen helplessly, Shaolan said, "Brother, our family will pay for it, just buy one stone." ”
"It's just too expensive." Muwen was not happy either.
"Believe me, we won't suffer, otherwise I will make up for the deficit in the future." Shaolan was firm.
Mu Wen thought about it and finally agreed, and reluctantly paid for this expensive food.
Because of the purchase of sweet potatoes, the four of them had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel, so they ended early and returned to the carpenter's shop.
Spent the day out of boredom.
The next day, Shaolan was woken up by a noisy crowd.
I vaguely heard someone shouting a miracle, a miracle.
After Shaolan got up, the carpenter was full of interest and said with a strong gossip color, "I heard that there is a miracle outside the Red Leaf Temple, and there is a statue of the green dragon god breaking through the ground, let's go and take a look." ”
"Don't go." blurted out that Shaolan realized that her attitude was clearly greasy and suspicious.
added, "This is my request for help from Qinglong, and its response to me, you don't go to the scene, and don't leak your mouth, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
"You can ask for the help of the green dragon, how can there be trouble." But the carpenter would not listen.
"Do you have what I can do? Are you more interested than me? Can you get help from the Green Dragon? Shaolan asked with a gloomy face.
The carpenter was suddenly embarrassed, "No, no. ”
"Then listen to me, keep your mouth shut, and you can't publicize this to the outside world now."
"Yes." The carpenter should come down, and his face is not happy.
Shaolan prayed silently, ready to sit back and watch the changes, but it was better not to be reassured.
So Mu Wen called Mu Wu, Mu Wen, and Mu Shang to explain like this.
Just as he was about to go out, the boy stared at the thick dark circles under his eyes and the bloodshot eyes came over.
Today he didn't take the two little boys, only two guards.
"I can't answer your question, but I swear I'll trust you for the rest of my life, and I'll never treat you badly as my subordinate."
Shaolan didn't have time to talk nonsense with him at all, and now there were more important things, "I heard that there is a miracle outside the Red Leaf Temple, let's go and see it together, when the affairs of your subordinates are not in a hurry, after all, we are still young." ”
"No, this is the most important thing, every Ming monarch needs the assistance of capable ministers to achieve a great cause. I want to expand the territory of the Momiji clan by a hundred miles, not more than five hundred miles, and establish a country. ”
"Good ambition, come on, I'll go see the miracle first."
Shaolan was about to leave when the young man grabbed her, "I will marry my most beloved sister to you, and my fief will be divided into half of you." ”
Seeing the young man's resolute attitude, Shaolan didn't want to delay any longer, and immediately said, "Okay, I promise you, let's go, let's go and see miracles." ”
"Great." The young man smiled happily, "My name is Red Leaf Inflammation, what is your name?" ”
"My name is Mu Lan."
The group then came to the Red Leaves Temple, where people came and went and were surrounded by a flood.
Shaolan and the others took advantage of their short height to squeeze in.
Listening to the conversations of the people around them, most of them believed that it was a miracle, but there were still some people who questioned it and wanted to dig up the statue of the green dragon.
Shaolan squeezed inside, and finally saw clearly that only half of the head of the Qinglong statue was on the ground.
"Is this really a miracle? No one is going to mess around, right? ”
Shaolan questioned loudly.
"Whose child is ignorant and what to say."
"Nonsense, offending the Qinglong God, believe it or not, I beat you?"
"Shhhh
"What about Childe?" Although the mouth is hard and the voice is quiet.
……
There was a lot of talking.
Hongye Yan got to Shaolan's side, "Is there really someone making trouble?" Why don't I have someone dig it up? ”
Shaolan was taken aback, it would be troublesome for you to dig it out.
"No, if this is a miracle, we can find out if it is a miracle and watch here day and night to see if it can really grow on its own. In this way, you will not offend the gods and you will not give others a chance to do anything. ”
Red Leaf Yan felt that it made sense, so he asked one of the guards to go back and report it, preparing to transfer a guard to guard.
The eyes of the entire Red Leaf City were drawn to this green dragon sculpture that broke out of the ground.
A short time later, the carpenter arrived with dry rations and took the opportunity to sell them.
These civilians were reluctant to leave, so many of them bought dry food from the wood merchants, so that the wood merchants took the opportunity to make a fortune, about 800 Wen.
After that, there were more people selling dry food, and there was no business.
As Shaolan expected, under the eyes of everyone, the green dragon wood carving was slowly rising at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
So more and more people gathered, the whole city was hotly discussed, and more people came to worship and worship.
