Chapter 139: He slipped away
"You're a woman, you're actually following up." Seeing Bai Jinli suddenly appear, Zhao Rui's face suddenly became ugly.
"yes, not only did I keep up, but I also learned where you lived. Little guy, your sister has said it, hurry up and get the things! ”
"Give it to you, isn't it just a little bit of broken food, as for chasing me desperately?" Zhao Rui angrily threw those things into Bai Jinli's hands.
"Rui'er, don't be rude!" The woman who had just closed her eyes opened her eyes again when she heard this, and began to look at Bai Jinli with her arms half-propped up, and then spoke apologetically.
"This girl, I'm sorry, my brother is ignorant and has caused you trouble, I hope you will forgive me."
Bai Jinli took the opportunity to start looking at the two of them.
To be honest, they look very similar, especially the eyes, which are very bright and a little arrogant, and the corners of their eyes are slightly raised, vaguely a bit fierce and noble.
And looking at the looks and dresses of the two people, it doesn't seem to be the costumes of the Great Qi Kingdom.
And the temperament that comes with that body is quite chic.
"Forget it, I don't remember the villain, so I'll let him go today. You're not from the county, are you, why are you staying here? Bai Jinli asked casually.
"You want to care?" Zhao Rui snorted coldly.
He hated this woman so much.
Obviously, he is the best person in their place, but he didn't expect to fall into the hands of this woman today.
Moreover, this woman also saw the downfall of him and Ning Er with her own eyes, and she was afraid that she even heard their communication.
As soon as he thought of this, he didn't want to give Bai Jinli a good face.
"Rui'er, don't be rude!" The girl has changed from a posture of supporting her arms to being supported by Zhao Rui on a wooden pillar on the side.
After scolding, she spoke lightly with a polite and detached smile.
"It's true that we're not from here. Deceived by traitors, we woke up in a foreign land. It's really helpless to stay here, and I hope it doesn't bother the girl. “
Bai Jinli found that this girl was really generous.
When Fang Cai supported her arms, her back was very straight, even if she was sitting against the pillar now, her clothes were ragged and her face was haggard, but she couldn't hide the temperament revealed in her bones.
"You were trafficked? Forget it, I'm not going to pursue it. ”
"Thank you, girl."
"Well, these two dumplings have been pinched flat, give them to you, and these foods, give, take them!" Bai Jinli took out the food and stuffed it into Zhao Rui's hand, turned around and was about to leave.
"By the way, I think she seems to be sick, you take her to Xuanbaotang to find Doctor Xue, and say that Bai Jinli asked you to go." With that, her figure disappeared into the alley.
"Ning'er, this ......"
"Since it was given by the white girl, let's eat, you've been hungry for so many days." Zhao Ning smiled slightly, but he was thinking in his heart.
If there is a fate in the future, she will definitely repay this woman for her kindness today.
"Ning'er, you eat first, give." Zhao Rui didn't mind, helped peel off a zongzi, and handed it to Zhao Ning.
Then, he picked up another one and nibbled on it.
After chewing, he opened the cloth bag wrapped in pork jerky and handed it to Zhao Ning.
"Rui'er, you taste it, there is such a delicacy in Qi Kingdom." Zhao Ning pinched one and tasted it, and then pinched another one and stuffed it into Zhao Rui's mouth.
"Well, it's barely okay, I don't like it very much, you can eat it yourself. After eating, let's go to the Xuanbaotang she said to have a look. ”
Zhao Rui actually thought that the thing was really delicious, especially when they had been hungry for many days.
But Ning'er is a woman, he has to take care of Ning'er a little more, he can bear it.
After eating, Zhao Rui helped Zhao Ning to walk out, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a silver ingot lying on the ground next to the shed.
It looked like it was about twenty taels.
"Ning'er, could it be that she accidentally fell on this?" Zhao Rui picked up the twenty taels of silver and asked.
"I'm afraid she deliberately left it here." Zhao Ning is a person with a clear mind, and looking at Bai Jinli's eyes, she knows that she has the idea of helping them.
"And give it back to her?"
"No, since she gave this favor, then let's take it. Rui'er, remember her name, Bai Jinli. When we go back, we will find a chance to repay her. Zhao Ning had a hint of solemnity in his tone.
Without this woman, they would have starved to death and died of disease.
But after having twenty taels of silver, when she was well treated, the two of them could find a way to go back.
"Well, I know, Ning'er." Zhao Rui nodded, and there was no longer impatience and annoyance on his face.
When Bai Jinli returned to the tree with the recovered cigarette pouch, she only saw the figure of Old Man Bai, but Mrs. Li didn't know where to go.
"Dad, where's my mother? Why isn't she here? ”
"Pear, you're back? Did you catch the thief? Your mother said she was going to buy something for you, and she hasn't come back yet! ”
"I didn't catch it, he slipped away, but I picked it up." Bai Jinli handed over the cigarette pouch and continued to ask.
"My mother went buy me something? What to buy? ”
Old Man Bai felt a little sorry for his zongzi, but he was also relieved that the cigarette pouch was recovered. As for the zongzi, if you lose it, you can throw it away, anyway, there are still at home.
"Your mother said that she was interested in a toy bird on a stall, so she wanted to buy it for you, I don't know why, I haven't come back after going for so long.
If it weren't for the fear that you wouldn't find us when you came back, I would have wanted to look for her, and I don't know if I got lost or what's going on. Old Man Bai explained.
"Toy birds? Let's go and see. Bai Jinli was slightly flustered, and then remembered.
When she was shopping, she stumbled upon a toy bird carved out of wood, which looked a little like the one she had caught, so she looked at it twice.
Unexpectedly, her mother thought she really liked it, so she went to buy it for her.
"Yes, let's go."
According to their memories, when the two of them were about to walk to the stall, they heard Mrs. Li's voice coming from there.
"It's just a piece of wood, and it's so expensive? Why don't you grab it? Even if it's expensive, I'll buy it. It's just that I asked you to give me another inkstone, why are you so brainless! “
"Auntie, we also have to do business. You said to send an inkstone, that's not good, we will pay for death, do you know how expensive that inkstone is? It's much more expensive than a wooden bird! The stall owner's face was depressed and helpless.
"What's expensive? Isn't it just a broken thing, how valuable can it be? If it weren't for the fact that my daughter could use it in school recently, you wouldn't be happy to ask for it for me. Mrs. Li snorted coldly.
"Auntie, why don't I sell this bird, will you go somewhere else to take a look?" The stall owner wanted to cry.
This aunt is too powerful! Just for about 50 copper plates to haggle for him to kill almost two teas, I don't know if she said that she spoke for so long, and her voice was still so loud, was she tired?
Just because of her voice, I don't know how many guests have been scared away?
"Not for sale? Why! It's not that the old lady doesn't give money, why don't you sell it to me? Anyway, I don't care, I want birds, you have to give me this inkstone, the price is still the previous price. ”
Listening to Mrs. Li's tone and appearance of forcibly selling things, the stall owner was angry and wanted to report to the official.
Is there such a person? Yes?
"Mother, since people don't want to sell it, then forget it, in fact, I don't like this thing very much." Bai Jinli hurriedly stepped forward to pull Mrs. Li.
"Girl, are you back? Did the thief chase him? Are you tired of running? Are you sleepy, thirsty? When Mrs. Li saw her appear, she hurriedly asked.
"Well, I'm back, the thief didn't catch it, my father's things were found for him. Mother, when you say that, I seem to be really thirsty, let's go, let's find a place to drink tea. ”
After speaking, Bai Jinli pulled Mrs. Li away and gave the stall owner an apologetic smile.
Old Man Bai also breathed a sigh of relief and followed beside the two of them.
The onlookers also dispersed when they saw this.
Actually, it's not that big of a deal, is it? It's just that people talk about the deal and don't negotiate it, there's nothing new, it's better to squeeze to watch the dragon boat race.
I heard that there are several teams in this year's dragon boat race, and the first team to win has a jackpot of 100 taels, so they have to go and see the excitement.
"How much do these two things cost? I want it, wrap it up for me. ”
"Huh? Okay, a total of 1203 copper plates! “
"Well, don't look for it." Yan Su directly threw two taels of silver over.
"Okay, I've wrapped it for you, you can take it, go slowly, you are welcome to come again next time!"
Just a few steps after Bai Jinli and the others walked out, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from their ears.
Bai Jinli glanced back, it was Su Yan dressed in white.
"White girl, what a coincidence!"
"Master Su, you also come to the market!" Bai Jinli greeted politely.
"Yes, there is a dragon boat race today, I heard that it is very lively, come and have a look. These two are Lingzun Lingtang, right? Yan Su smiled and greeted Old Man Bai and Mrs. Li.
He came here when he left the Zhongling Embroidery Workshop, and he didn't see Bai Jinli after looking for a long time.
was about to go to the restaurant alone, and when Yan Yi came over to find someone, he saw the noisy scene in the market.
"Pear, who is this person? Do you know? Mrs. Li looked at the handsome person in front of her, who gave people a feeling like a spring breeze, and couldn't help but whisper Bai Jinli.
"Well, I know, he has business dealings with Lin Shenyuan, we have met before." Bai Jinli explained.
"I see, hello son, I'm Pear's mother, and he's Pear's father." Mrs. Li looked at Yan Su's unusual appearance and temperament, and she was also very polite to him.
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet the white girl and the two. You're also going to watch the dragon boat race, right? That's just dropping in, let's get together. ”
"No need, I'm going to take my father and mother to have a cup of tea first, Su Gongzi, you can go first." Bai Jinli refused.
They are just a cooperative relationship, and her father and mother are still there, even if they want to talk about something, it is not too convenient now.
