Chapter 62: The Bronze Horse in Shangyang Lake

"Let the girl be frightened, this bronze coin should be regarded as an apology, and the girl is asked to accept it." Shopkeeper Ye handed over the copper coin.

"There's no need to apologize, after all, you Mohou Zhai didn't do anything wrong, I'd better buy it." Xue Wu paid the money and put the copper money in her purse.

"You don't have eyes!" Cai Ling ran out, but almost collided with an old man and kicked at him.

The old man was kicked to the ground by her, and the package he was holding in his arms also fell to the ground, he didn't care to get up, and quickly picked up the package.

The people around cast strange eyes, and Cai Ling said fiercely: "Look at what to see!" Look at me gouging out your eyeballs again! ”

"What kind of girl is this, why are you so domineering?"

"Ouch, don't say it, this is the daughter of the county magistrate, let her hear, don't want your tongue."

"Does she dare to cut my tongue?"

"What is it to cut your tongue? She's even been beaten to death! In the end, there is nothing to do, and we ordinary people can't afford to mess with it. ”

The people around him said a few words and dispersed.

At the door of Mohou Zhai, Xue Wu also heard the discussion of passers-by, and looked at Cai Ling's back as she disappeared into the crowd, her brows furrowed.

If the rumors are true, then she really has to be on guard, and she can't say what this daughter of the county magistrate will do.

"Follow me, don't lose it." She led Pei Lin into the bustling flow of people.

There was only one bronze coin in Mohou Zhai that contained purple qi, and she had to continue to look for it.

I ran several antique shops in a row, but I didn't touch an object containing purple energy.

Seeing that it was already noon, Xue Wu planned to eat and then continue to search for the baby, so she took Pei Lin into a nearby noodle restaurant and asked for two bowls of beef noodles and two side dishes.

Xue Wu sat down and waited for the food to be served, and seeing that Pei Lin was a little sullen, she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

Pei Lin turned his head and ignored her.

Yo, is this mad at her?

"You're not going to be angry about what happened, are you?" Xue Wu sat next to him, but Pei Lin ran to the other side.

Xue Wu was a little amused and held back, wouldn't it be added to the fire if she was still laughing at this time?

She continued to sit down and hugged Pei Lin by the arm, so that he could no longer move his position.

"Akang, I deliberately teased that woman before, I knew she couldn't come up with that much silver, and I didn't really want to give you to her."

Pei Lin puffed out his face, "Then if she can take it out, don't you really want to let me out?" ”

Xue Wu was categorical: "No, I like our family Akang the most, and I won't be tempted if others give me more money." ”

Pei Lin was barely satisfied this time.

At this time, the noodles also came up, Xue Wu helped him scald the chopsticks with hot tea before handing them over, and Pei Lin ate the noodles quietly.

Xue Wu gave him the beef in her bowl, looked at him with a loving gaze, "Eat more." ”

Pei Lin muttered: "That's enough, you can eat it too." He gave her a chopstick salad with pork ears.

After eating, the two continued to stroll down the antique street. This time, Xue Wu didn't enter the store again, but picked up it at the stall on the street.

When she passed a very simple stall, her palms suddenly became hot, and she looked over, and saw an old man squatting there, with only a furoshiki in front of him, and a bronze horse on it, and a large area of patina on the horse's body.

Xue Wu squatted down, "Uncle, can I get started with this horse?" ”

"Look, just look."

This old man was almost hit by Cai Ling before, this bronze horse was caught by him when he was fishing, he thought that this bronze horse might be an old object, so he wanted to take it to the county seat to ask, see if the antique shop accepts it, if it is really an old object, maybe he will make a fortune.

He heard that the most reputable antique shop in the city was Mohou Zhai, so he came here, but when he arrived at the door and saw the magnificent face, he hesitated again and did not dare to enter.

finally made up his mind to step in, and collided with Cai Ling, and the bronze horse in his arms almost didn't break.

At this moment, the little courage he had mustered was gone, and he simply found a place to put the bronze horse out, thinking that it would be better if someone took a fancy to it, if not.

After waiting for a long time, there was no one who came to patronize, and the old man was disappointed, who would have thought that a girl would be interested in the bronze horse at this time, where was he not allowed?

Xue Wu held the bronze horse, and the five element beads in her palm floated out, and in an instant, a flame-like purple gas escaped from the surface of the bronze horse, which was swallowed by the five element beads.

Of course, this scene is invisible to others.

After the Five Elements Bead had absorbed all the purple qi, she pretended to be optimistic and asked, "Uncle, where did you get this bronze horse?" ”

The old man didn't hide it, "I fished it from Shangyang Lake when I was fishing." ”

Shangyang Lake? How could there be a bronze horse in the lake? Did it come from somewhere else, or did it exist at the bottom of the lake itself?

Is this one the only one, or are there more?

"Uncle, how much is this?"

The old man rubbed his hands, but he didn't expect her to really want to buy it, so he tentatively quoted a price: "Twenty taels?" ”

Xue Wu glanced at the old man in surprise, this price is really unexpectedly cheap, just judging from the concentration of purple gas contained in the bronze horse, it is known that it has not stayed with the emperor before, so this can be contaminated with so much purple gas, and the items that the emperor often touches, can they be mortal?

Even the dishes and chopsticks used for eating are not simple, let alone decorative objects such as bronze horses.

was about to pay the money, but the old man misunderstood the meaning of her glance just now, thinking that she was too expensive, so he lowered the price first: "If the girl thinks it is expensive, fifteen, no, ten taels of silver is fine." ”

Anyway, it's for nothing.

"Okay." Xue Wan handed over a small silver ticket of ten taels.

The old man was surprised and delighted when he got it, and he doubted that this bronze horse could not be an old object, otherwise why would this girl buy it so happily? Are you selling low?

Looking at the silver ticket in his hand, he became nervous again, it was the first time he had gotten so much money, he was afraid of losing it, and he couldn't care so much, so he quickly packed up his baggage and left.

After that, Xue Wu bought a shoddy-looking painting at the stall, an ordinary rattle the size of a child's palm.

These two things are very inconspicuous, but the concentration of purple qi contained in them is not low, and Xue Wu suspects that they have been deliberately disguised, which makes them seem ordinary.

Because these two things look ordinary, they are sold as old things, and Xue Wu bought them at a very low price.

In fact, she found not only three objects containing purple qi on the antique street, but the others themselves looked very antique, and the price was not cheap.

She mainly wanted the Five Elements Beads to absorb the purple gas, and she didn't have to buy antiques, so she just took a look at the expensive price, and let the Five Elements Beads "white-prostitute" a handful, and then put the things down and left.
