Chapter 239: Weak Heart
Ji Xiu walked into the magic shop in Shilan City, her heart was uneasy, she stepped through the door, and found that the decoration inside was chic, although it was not magnificent, but it was obvious that the owner of the store had put a lot of thought into making the store rich.
For example, as soon as Ji Xiu entered the door, he saw handicrafts made of feathers, except for the three feathers inserted in the top are particularly gorgeous, and all the lower ones are ordinary chicken feathers.
Ji Xiu looked around and found that the store was empty, there were no customers who wanted to consume, no guys who looked at the store, and no boss who was settling accounts.
There seem to be very few goods here, there are more than a dozen things on a long table, and looking at these things of different shapes on the long table, Ji Xiu can't tell what these are.
"What the hell is this? Ji Xiu looked at the goods in the store and found that most of them were stones, and the most strange thing was a beating heart, which was in a bowl, still beating vigorously.
"Guest, are you a magician?" a man's voice came from beside him.
Ji Xiu turned around and saw a man in his forties walking from the stairs, with two deep nasolabial folds on his face, and the hem of his mouth, which looked evil.
"It's not. Ji Xiu replied honestly.
"Lowly Dilu, don't dirty my shop, get out of here. The man pointed at Igu and scolded.
Ji Xiu was stunned for a moment, then pulled over Igu and said, "You can see it clearly, its whole body, the clothes it wears, are cleaner than yours, how can it possibly stain your shop." ”
The man couldn't believe that the clothes worn by a diru were really cleaner than his, and he stammered, "This ...... It is...... Did you raise it?"
"Don't worry about this, I'm here to buy something, what are you doing?" Ji Xiu asked as she turned the subject away and pointed to the goods on the table.
The man still looked at Igu deeply, and he still had a deep disgust for Igu in his eyes, especially after knowing that Igu was wearing cleaner clothes than him, this man felt ashamed.
"Don't ask if you're not a magician, you can't afford it. When the man spoke, the nasolabial folds on his face would not move, as if he had been sealed with wax.
"Are you the owner of the shop, there are guests coming to the door, are you entertaining like this?" Ji Xiu said, but took out a handful of gold coins in his hand.
The man saw the gold coin in Ji Xiu's palm, his face changed slightly better, and he said: "I'm the shopkeeper, if you want to know what these things are, then buy them first, and I'll tell you after you buy them." ”
Ji Xiu felt that it didn't matter, anyway, he was just here to test whether the gold coins could be used, and it didn't matter what he used to buy with gold coins. Ji Xiu looked at the dozen or so things on the table, all of them looked very ugly, especially the beating heart, which looked even more disgusting.
"Don't you have any good-looking goods here?" asked Ji Xiu.
"I'm a magic shop, not a jewelry store for girls. The shopkeeper scoffed.
"Then I'll buy that, that one looks much better. Ji Xiu pointed to the handicraft at the door of the store, that is, a wooden stake with feathers stuck in it, except for the top three gorgeous feathers, the bottom was full of chicken feathers.
This time, it was the shopkeeper's turn to be stunned for a moment, it was not a commodity at all, it was used by him to decorate the store.
"Are you here to make trouble, believe it or not, I'll call the city guards. The shopkeeper's face turned vicious.
"Is that not for sale?" Ji Xiu smiled awkwardly, "Then buy all the things on this table." ”
"Do you have so much money?" the shopkeeper's face hardened, like a black brick.
"How much?" asked Ji Xiu.
"Two hundred and ten gold coins in total. The shopkeeper had an unceremonious tone in his tone, it seemed that after Ji Xiu asked the price, if he couldn't pay so much money, the shopkeeper would definitely not let Ji Xiu go.
There was a clang, and Ji Xiu took out more than two hundred gold coins from his arms and stacked them all on the table. Ji Xiu said: "Two hundred and ten gold coins, you come and take a look." ”
The shopkeeper walked over with a dark face, and first carefully looked at Ji Xiu several times, which can be regarded as looking at Ji Xiu from head to toe. The shopkeeper's move made Ji Xiu feel a little weak, Ji Xiu's eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to face the shopkeeper, anyway, he looked left and right, after all, Ji Xiu used all fake money, and it was a counterfeit currency that was easy to identify because it was too well-made.
The shopkeeper picked up the gold coin and looked at it, and immediately noticed that something was wrong, with a shocked look on his face, and looked at Ji Xiu with the eyes of a thief.
A cold sweat broke out on Ji Xiu's forehead, and his heart was even more empty, cursing Liang Wantry in his heart, scolding Liang Wantry for being a big fool, knowing that Wuxing was backward and the means of coinage were also backward, he even made such a sophisticated gold coin, and he also used the electric crossing technology, and now this gold coin is in the hands of the shopkeeper, and it will still shine.
"You...... Where did you get this gold coin?" The shopkeeper's sharp eyes, like eagle eyes, looked directly at Ji Xiu.
"I ...... Belch...... I'm performing on the street, and others reward me with ......" Ji Xiu spoke in a rambling manner, and in order to cover up the source of the counterfeit money, Ji Xiu also told a lie.
"Nonsense, who would reward a street performer with gold coins?" the shopkeeper told Ji Xiu's lie.
"That's not nonsense, there are people who will give a bounty. Ji Xiu said seriously, the person who Ji Xiu said would reward gold coins was actually himself.
"Fart-" The shopkeeper slapped the table hard, which really calmed Ji Xiu, and a few drops of cold sweat broke out on Ji Xiu's forehead.
Ji Xiu thought in his heart: This is even more difficult than the battle with the Xuanling Supreme Demon and the Heaven Swallowing Sprout.
"Tell me!" exclaimed the shopkeeper, "where did you get this gold coin, and how dare you bring it to my shop?" ”
Ji Xiu's head was a little confused, and he really couldn't think of any good excuses, Ji Xiu cursed in his heart, if you make fake money, you can make fake money, why do you make it so fake, others can see it at a glance.
"Where did you steal this gold coin?!" exclaimed the shopkeeper.
"Wait-" As soon as Ji Xiu heard the stealing words, his head immediately returned to normal, and the cold sweat on his forehead disappeared, Ji Xiu stood up straight and said, "You said stealing?
The shopkeeper also wondered how Ji Xiu's sudden change, how he looked like a thief with a weak heart before, but now he has become upright. The shopkeeper shouted, "That's right, you must have stolen this gold coin." ”
"Well, yes, steal your head. Ji Xiu slapped the table and said, "Can't you see that the gold coins are fake?"
Under Ji Xiu's palm, he directly collapsed the table, and the gold coins and commodities on the table rolled everywhere, and the boss's eyes popped out.
"City Guards!" the shopkeeper suddenly shouted, and tried to rush to the door.
Ji Xiu popped out a gold coin with his finger and hit the back of the shopkeeper's head directly, knocking the shopkeeper to the ground.
Ji Xiu touched his head and sighed: "Why did I come to buy something, it turned out to be like I came to rob, I really don't understand." ”
In fact, the shopkeeper really can't see that the gold coins are fake, although the black star is backward, and the coinage is also backward, but the information and communication are even more backward. For ordinary people, as long as the gold coin contains gold, it means that it is real, so it does not matter whether the gold coin is round or square.
The shopkeeper actually wanted to deceive Ji Xiu, after all, how could an ordinary person have more than two hundred gold coins, unless he was a nobleman or a magician, he could come up with so much money. Ji Xiu is not a magician, and he is not like a nobleman with a diru (Igu), so the shopkeeper suspects that Ji Xiu's gold coins were stolen. Therefore, the shopkeeper wanted to scare Ji Xiu into telling the source of the gold coins, after all, the unknown source of the gold coins would make a thief's heart, and the shopkeeper wanted to scare Ji Xiu away and take the gold coins for himself.
How do you know that Ji Xiu is really weak-hearted, because of counterfeit money, but the shopkeeper said that Ji Xiu stole the gold coins, and as a result, Ji Xiu was not weak at all.
"I'm messing up, let's go see what the others have to offer. After Ji Xiu finished speaking, he turned around and left, ignoring the gold coins that fell to the ground.
When Ji Xiu left, even Ji Xiu didn't pay attention, and the beating heart stuck to Igu's clothes and was taken away with Igu.
