When Princess Sanssouci went all the way north, Xue Ling was also heading north. After squatting on the mountain for two days, I finally had to find a way to leave. After thinking about it, she was still wearing Aunt Li's daughter's clothes, carrying two caught pheasants and a rabbit, and simply walked along the official road. His face was covered with mud and sand, and he only said that he was going to the town to sell prey. I met people along the way, but no one checked them.

Originally, she met an old man who sold wine and drove an ox cart to take Xue Ling for a ride, but when she thought of the fire in Lijia Village, she really didn't dare to have anything to do with people. Or walk slowly by yourself. Wait to see the city walls. There is only a little light left in the sky.

Fortunately, there seems to be no curfew in this small city, Xue Ling didn't know where he was at this time, he only looked at the two big characters written on the city: Ming County. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he walked into the city gate.

In the evening, there are still a lot of pedestrians on the streets, and the town here should be quite prosperous. But Xue Ling didn't know where there was a market or something like that, and he didn't have time to find it. In the past two days, without Lu Wen'an, she didn't know what to do with rabbit meat, and the plants didn't dare to eat indiscriminately, so she relied on a little water to support her, and walked for dozens of miles. When I saw a tavern, I asked the owner to change some food casually, squatted on the corner of the street, and barely recovered a little after gobbling it up.

After eating, Xue Ling sat on the ground and fumbled with his original clothes, thinking about whether it would be better to change them back or not to change them for the time being. I didn't know where to go, but I felt something the size of a walnut in the pocket of my original clothes and pulled it out to take a look. It was the ghost work exquisite ball that Xue Li gave her.

Xue Ling didn't know much about this thing, but he knew about jade, which was a good piece of mutton fat white with sugar. When you weigh it, you always have to spend money along the way, and you have to buy something to defend yourself. The ball should be worth some silver, so he stood up and asked the biggest pawnshop in the area.

After asking, Xue Ling still changed his clothes back. She thought about it for a while, poor people have such valuable items, it is always easy to arouse suspicion, in case the pawnshop asks, it is more wrong to say more. It's better to dress up as a boy and pawn, so as to avoid businessmen watching people put down dishes.

The original clothes, soaked in the river water, have long been gone. Aunt Li should have been washed with fine pulp. As soon as he changed back, he pulled a male bun, and Xue Ling became the arbitrary young man again.

Just pulled the corners of her clothes twice, her eyes were a little sour, Aunt Li ....... was just a person.

"The little boy is going to pawn this ghost craftsman exquisite ball?" The pawnshop here is quite large, and a gray-haired old man took Xue Ling's waist and shone it in the candlelight for a long time before asking.

"Yes, I lost my purse. It will be a few days before the family arrives and wants to exchange some silver. ”

"Childe's ball, it's not worth any silver."

Xue Ling smiled, thinking that all the traders in the world would talk like this, and he didn't think he was annoyed: "The shopkeeper doesn't know the goods, this is the best mutton fat white with sugar." is to go to the capital, and it is also rushed by the prince and grandson. ”

"The little boy is a rich man, and what he said is not bad. This is the best mutton fat white jade, but this jade piece is a name. Although this carving is also fine, it has been doing this business for decades, and it can be seen that this is not from the hands of any person. If the little boy needs a lot, this... Small shops are powerless. ”

Xue Li is indeed not a big man, that little bit of half-baked technology is still pondered by himself, Xue Ling usually doesn't like to study these, and it is really difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. After thinking about it for a while, he wanted to save some flowers, so he said, "The shopkeeper's bid." It's just enough for me to linger for a few days. ”

The old man turned around and said: "If the little boy is really in urgent need of silver, this ghost ball is not his favorite." If you are old, you can be a good person, and your son can die. The right to buy this piece of jade is the bank. ”

For Xue Ling, this is really not a love thing. Even if it is, there is no need to care about it at the moment, as soon as I hear such an offer. One bite responded: "Death is death, this is just a plaything." ”

"Childe, take it, this is fifty taels of silver."

As soon as Xue Ling stepped out of the pawnshop door, the pawnshop closed. Inside the shop was the old man in ecstasy: "Rich, rich, rich." He shouted three times before stopping, and held the ghost ball over and over again.

The pawnshop guy asked puzzledly, "Master, didn't you say that this is not worth much?" ”

"You idiot, I want to say it's valuable, how can you fool that kid to die, and redeem it in two days, our shop can't be opened."

"Then what is the value of this ball, I think you are quite right, this is the value of jade, and we can't make much money for fifty taels of silver."

"For your size, you kid has a lot to learn. The jade is brittle, and the ghost work of jade carving is rare. This ball is only the size of a walnut, the jade quality is the best mutton fat white, not to mention, the set of balls is as many as seven layers, the carving is really rare, and it is not much better than the famous master. The old man paused, then continued, "But these are not the most valuable things. Inside this ball, there is a Nine Dead Soul Restoration Grass."

The guy was quite curious: "How can there be this kind of fairy grass in this world, isn't it all in the book?" ”

"What do you know, every day you are not motivated, tell you to read more books and not read. It's just an ordinary grass, and he has a common name called Cypress. In our case, there is no such thing. Only in the depths of the desert Gobi. When picked, it can be dried into a ball of dead branches. If you soak it in water, you will be resurrected again in less than two days. I don't know what kind of ingenious thinking it was, and what kind of chance it was, someone put this grass in this ghost ball. Just soak in plenty of water. This Nine Dead Soul Grass will come out of the ball. Oh my God, get rich." The old man's spittle flew sideways, and he couldn't stop at all.

"You hurry up and call someone, choose the fastest horse, and send it to the head office in the capital for auction, I'm afraid of this year. We don't have to worry about eating and drinking." Put away the ghost ball carefully, and said: "Fly the pigeon first and tell the head office that the beauty of this ghost ball is to attract those rich and noble." ”

Xue Ling had never looked at the ball carefully, he was only playful, and he often wore it on his waist. I didn't know that in that ball, Xue Li actually put in a Rausch weed unique to the northwest. At this moment, it has been handed to the capital by fast horse.

When I came out of the pawnshop, it was completely dark. Fortunately, he had silver on him. Fifty taels was really unsightly in the past, but here, the purchasing power was actually beyond Xue Ling's imagination. She bought a good short sword and carefully selected a set of her daughter's clothes to change into. Thinking about going back all the way, I simply dressed up my daughter's house, which made it easier to hide people's eyes, so I simply discarded the original clothes

When I needed to pack up, I found an inn to live in. Took a hot bath. Lying on the bed, Xue Ling couldn't fall asleep for a long time. The fire in Lijia Village was still burning red in her mind, Lu Wen'an's whereabouts were unknown, and her father's life and death were uncertain.

It's all like a thorn, and the person who it is turning over and over just wants to be delivered.
