Chapter 58: River Fish, Silver Beads, Pheasants and Wine
"This ...... What you said is true, are you really willing to help the old woman and me?" the old woman looked at Chi Don in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes.
When Chi Dun nodded seriously, the old woman walked out of the room satisfied, Xiao Se's back straightened up a lot at some point, and she could be seen from the back in a radiant appearance.
When the figure of the mother-in-law disappeared from the room, Zhang Quanyi pushed Chi Dun down on the bed, grabbed his collar and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Zhang Jiaoxi, why are you so excited?" Chi Dun moved away quietly, this posture was easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Do you know that the old woman herself is seriously ill and can't stand the stimulation, you don't even know what happened, why should you promise her? What if you can't do it? Do you really think that the outside world is as simple as you play in the sect?!"
Chi Dun could even see the bloodshot in his eyes, and Chi Dun still remembered that even when he was in the Criminal Hall, Zhang Quan had never shown this appearance.
"If it's a thing, there will be a way. ”
"The best way is to let that old woman die early!" Zhang Quan directly interrupted Chi Dun, and he continued: "Why do you think I stayed here, Najia Mansion is a big family that runs the dart game, although it is only a side line of the Jia family in Hengzhou, but it is not something you and I can afford!"
"Moreover, there are still three guests in the late stage of the Lingguang Realm in Jiafu at this time, and they are still in Jiafu now, how do you bring Xiao Na back?!"
If you don't have these, how can you ever get the old woman to intercede with you!
Chi Dun turned sideways around him and wandered to the window, it was almost noon, the sun was warm, and it was very comfortable to ask hot on his face.
He hadn't thought about it, and Chiton would choose to help the old woman because he had that idea.
Why not help someone who is in despair?
The old woman didn't know what was going on in the house, and today she actually picked up an immortal and went home, which is a blessing from heaven!
She was overjoyed, and went to the yard to find the fish basket from the morning fishing, and when she opened it, there were only three fish in it, and sighed helplessly, and the old woman carried the fish basket on her shoulder.
She can still afford the weight of more than ten catties.
All the way to the town, which has been renamed Beili Town since the appearance of the Beili Sect. There are a lot of people living in the north away from the town, perhaps because there is a sect here, and in these years, people from other nearby towns have also gathered.
After all, at the foot of the fairy mountain, it must be safer than other places.
The old woman wanted to go to the stone bridge in the town to sell the fish, but when she walked nearby, she found that it was very crowded.
The sun was high, it was close to noon, and it was not long before it was time to eat.
She took down the basket that was hanging from her shoulder, and rested on the ground, and the old woman lifted it up again and held it in her arms.
Walking towards the stone bridge step by step, her slender body tried her best to avoid everyone in front of her, those in new clothes, she couldn't afford to be messed with.
But how can such a crowded place not touch everyone?
It happened that a fat man came in front of him, and the old woman hid to the side, but her body was pressed against the pillar of the stone bridge, and she was still hit by him.
"I'm sorry!"
Sikong was startled, he was looking for Chi Dun's figure everywhere, he didn't see the person in front of him, and immediately blamed himself.
"Eh, it's okay, it's okay, I didn't stain your clothes, right?" The old woman patted Sikong Zhen's sleeve with some fear, such a good material, it would be a pity if she soiled it.
Sikong Zhen hurriedly said: "I'm sorry mother-in-law, I'm looking for someone, I didn't notice you, please." He used his round body to prop up a small path, enough for the old woman to pass.
The mother-in-law's heart is warm, she is a good child, and there are not many people who can treat a beggar like her like this.
"Thank you, kid. ”
The mother-in-law thanked her, walked over, carefully found a corner on the bridge, and put the fish basket down.
She suddenly remembered that the clothes on the white little fat man just now felt a little similar to what Chi Dun was wearing?
Although the clothes on Chi Dun's body are in tatters, the old woman's eyesight is still there, and the clothes on his body are not something that ordinary people can wear.
Alas, it may be a coincidence.
"Does anyone want river fish, only one for a tael of silver!" In order to sell the fish early, the old woman only called out half the usual price.
There were many people passing by, and some of the maids and servants who had gone out to buy vegetables also looked at her fish, but they all walked away in disgust.
The fish caught in the morning, which has been kept in the basket without water, is still brought up with a harpoon, and now it has no vitality.
It doesn't look very fresh, obviously, this kind of person is impossible to buy the old woman's fish, but there are also some people who like to take advantage of it, and when they see the old woman's fish is cheap, they come up to take a look.
It didn't take long for it to be sold.
With three taels of silver in her hand, the old woman rushed to the pawnshop and removed the silver beads and hairpins she had tied her hair with, and replaced them with the equivalent of five taels of silver.
With eight taels of silver in her hand, the old woman went to the West Market to buy a live pheasant, spent six taels, and the remaining two taels were taken by her to buy a pound of turbid wine sold in the winery.
Carrying these things, the old woman picked some green wild vegetables from the field outside the town on the way home, and then went home.
Carrying a chicken, he staggered into the small courtyard.
Immediately saw Zhang Quan, who was busy working in the yard, and she hurriedly beckoned: "Quan'er, come on, kill this chicken, and make up for the little immortal master!"
Zhang Quan looked at the chicken and wine in the old woman's hand with complicated eyes, stretched out his hand to take it, forcibly lifted his spirit, and nodded: "Okay, auntie, you can rest first." ”
He didn't ask the old woman where he got the chicken and wine, and he didn't want to ask, which only added to his sadness.
Ji Dun, who was sitting in the room, sighed, he was wearing a martial robe, this was Zhang Quan's clothes, he was wearing a little wide, and his shoulders couldn't support it.
He can vaguely understand Zhang Quan's current psychology, no wonder this guy has stayed here and not left.
When he is gone, the old woman may really fall into a desperate situation.
Then her future can only be bleak.
There are so many good people in this world, I just don't know, am I one of them?
Zhang Quan, who walked to the kitchen, also saw Chi Dun's gaze sweeping over him, Zhang Quan gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't tell her, I'm from the Beili Sect, I lied to her before that only the immortals on the Beili Mountain can help her, if she knows that there are only cultivators on the Beili Mountain, and not any immortals, she will be disappointed. ”
