Chapter 62: A Letter for Help

She often buys paper at Hanmo Studio, of course she knows the price of paper, and when she calculates it casually, she immediately wants to cry.

At present, the quality of paper is not very good, ordinary white paper, 100 pieces sell for 60 pieces, good quality paper is 3 pieces of 1 piece, and the paper used for printing is just yellowed hemp paper.

Calculated on ordinary white paper, even if a book has 50 sheets of paper, a book is only 30 texts.

Why do you want to sell for 300 wen a copy???

Shopkeeper Liu does have many question marks.

Early the next morning, I went to the Kirin bookstore.

When Shopkeeper Jia saw her, he hid in the inner room.

What's going on?

Kirin Bookstore also began selling a collection of poems entitled "Little Cave Sky".

"How much?"

The little guy didn't dare to say it.

She slapped the counter suddenly: "How much?" ”

"Two ...... Two...... Two hundred and sixty texts. ”

Glancing at the book behind the counter.

"That, how much?"

"Huh?"

"Are you all deaf or stupid?"

The little girl asked for the following collection of poems: "Fifty Poems of Dongting", sold, 600 wen, rent, ten days, 30 wen. ”

"What's the lease law?"

"It is only rented to students of Huai'an Academy, Huaiyang Private School, and Xiangshan Academy, and they want a school book opened by the government."

"How much is that?"

"Six hundred texts."

"How much is that?"

"Always."

"Why is it so expensive?"

"That'...... It was a Buddhist scripture. ”

It's just a folded book, why is it so expensive?

Far higher than the selling price of paper.

After asking for a long time at the Qilin Bookstore, she figured out the reason - it is still the era of engraving and printing!

Is the boot fee expensive!!

Calm down.

She was depressed, but it was just a loss, and when she had money, she would make sure that the whole movable type printing press came out!

Although there is a collection of poems of "Little Cave Sky", due to the high price, the children of the poor family still can't afford it, so every day, someone stands in front of the white wall to copy the poems, hahaha, for the sake of the loss in her heart, she copied some of the poems behind the wooden signs in the store on the white wall - free, there are new verses every day, come on, come on!

"Shopkeeper!"

Seeing her swaying about to go out, Sun Xiaohou stuffed her with an envelope.

"What?"

"I don't know, it's been a few days since I sent it, and I forgot about it." Sun Xiaohou touched the back of his head and staggered away.

It's not the first time she's received a letter.

Since the small cave is red, every three or five times, there is a letter sent to the shop, expressing admiration - not to her personally, mainly poetry, of course, some people think that the poetry is written by her, after all, the poetry that can't be found in the poetry dictionary, who else will there be besides her?

In addition, there is a special letter to scold her.

Oops, how many people are popular.

She didn't want to see it, but she smelled a fishy smell.

Open it and take a look.

Suddenly, his face changed.

The letter should have been sent to Hongjia Village, but the old village chief was illiterate, so he took it directly to the shop, but no one cared.

That...... The deadline stated in the letter has passed.

What term?

"Within ten days, if you don't bring money to ransom them, hang them at the entrance of the village!"

Which of them?

Sun Da and that brother!

Sun Da picked up the person on the road and went to which tea house, as soon as he went, it was more than 20 days, and she thought that he continued to measure Huai'an, but they were detained by the people of the tea house!

There is still a time limit to redeem people!

Today is the last day!

Even if she has wings, she can't fly!

And the shop is full of women, Sun Er and Sun Xiaohou are not useful at all, how can she go to that tea house alone?

What's worse is that she doesn't know what tea house is coming from!!

Oh ...... Yarn is up.

Fold up the distress letter.

She explained a few words to Fangcao: "I'm going to see tea, go for a few days, and the shop will be handed over to you." ”

"I can't!"

"If it doesn't work, close the door, whatever you want."

Saving lives is like fighting fire.

Her "far water" is going to save the "far fire".

…………

…………

In the alley next to Xuefu Road, Cai Xu looked left and right, and when he saw a person passing by, he quickly covered his face and turned to the wall on the side.

“…… Didn't you say it last time, shopkeeper Liu, this, it's not good for you to come to me, really, the impact is not good. ”

She handed the letter over: "Urgent." You help me see, where is there a tea house nearby, the distance is two or three days, small place. ”

Cai Xu took the letter, turned around, faced the wall, and unfolded the letter.

"In addition, is there anyone in Huai'an who knows martial arts?"

"Coming with you?"

"Yes."

Cai Xu touched the back of his head, and then said: "According to what this letter says, today, today is the last day. ”

"To live to see people, to die to see corpses."

"Your buddy?"

"Nonsense."

Cai Xu turned around: "Small tea house, northeast, two or three days away, according to Cai's speculation, it is either Moss Town, or Zhoujiazhuang, not far from Moss Town is Dingyuan kiln, Zhoujiazhuang is a small place, in the ravine." ”

She pondered for a moment.

"Both places are in one direction."

"It should ...... It's Zhoujiazhuang. ”

Like the villagers of Hongjia Village, most of them are surnamed Hong, the old village chief is surnamed Hong, and the two women in her shop are also surnamed Hong.

She vaguely remembered that Sun Da said that the man ...... What is called Zhou, the surname Zhou should be correct, therefore, the possibility of Zhoujiazhuang is relatively large.

"Awesome! It's Zhoujiazhuang! Brother Cai, do you have any friends who know martial arts, introduce me to me, it's best to leave immediately, don't worry, it will definitely be rewarded. ”

"Introductions are naturally introducible, but now I can't leave! Otherwise, I'll tell you the address, and you can try it? ”

"Is it good to report your name?"

"Giving money works best."

Cai Xu told her two addresses.

In the early years of Huai'an, the martial arts hall was prevalent, since the strict crackdown on mountain bandits and water bandits, after finding out that a group of bandits was related to a martial arts hall, the martial arts hall gradually declined, and furthermore, now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, learning martial arts is not much use, you can only go to the big restaurant or Qinglou and other places to show people, and there are no more positions.

Like a rich family, they directly buy a male slave with a strong physique.

The first address is near Chunsen Road.

[Hong Family].

A quiet courtyard in the middle of nowhere, she still has some impressions.

Before she crossed the threshold, someone stopped her: "What are you doing?" ”

"I am looking for you to take care of things, I have something to discuss."

"What are you talking about? Tell me that is. ”

She looked inside, but there was no one in the courtyard: "I want to invite two masters to go to Zhoujiazhuang with me, it may take four or five days to go back and forth, I don't know how you calculate the money?" ”

The man looked at her in surprise, but did not speak for a moment.

"I didn't make it clear?"

"Yes, yes, but you are a woman...... Let's go, don't stick here. ”

"You don't take this job?"

The man walked inside, and she was stepping over the threshold to follow: "My friend told me that you ......."

"Stop!"

The man yelled, making her tremble.

"What's wrong?!"

The man immediately raised his eyebrows: "Women are not allowed to enter!" Tell you out, you can't hear, do you? If it dirties my yard, it will break your legs! And your hands, don't touch anything! ”
