Chapter 33 Borrowing money
On the street, Meng Wuxian walked alone.
"It's so boring, where did those two girls go, why can't they find anyone. With his arms behind his head, Meng Wutear opened a pair of dead fish eyes and muttered uncontrollably. He felt that it was a wrong decision for him to come out, and sure enough, shopping or something was the most boring, so it was better to cultivate.
"Hey, there's even a place to sell weapons here. Meng Wuxian suddenly saw a few weapons hanging on the door of your store on the street, which was obviously a store selling weapons.
"I happened to have a sword in my hand, so I went in and took a look. Meng Wu's face was full of excitement with tears, he had long wanted a sword of his own. During these days, he coveted Mo Mo's sword, but the other party didn't even let him touch it, let alone lend it to him.
Walking into the house, the house is quite deserted, and it seems that the business of this store is not very good. The facilities in the house are also very simple, the front desk is facing the door, and the room is full of shelves for weapons. The shopkeeper was reading an unknown book, and when he saw a customer coming, he said directly: "Just read it, watch it and pay for it." ”
A few black lines appeared on Meng Wuxian's head, how to say it, this boss is really, there is enough weirdness. No wonder there are so few guests, and it's not for nothing. How can business be good with the attitude of the boss, it is not bad if it is not closed.
Inside the room, Meng Wuxian looked at the dazzling array of weapons to himself, and all kinds of weapons dazzled him. Fortunately, the weapons here were all placed separately, and Meng Wuxian only planned to look at the sword as a weapon.
After looking at it for a long time, Meng Wuxian found that although there were many types of weapons here, they were all ordinary weapons, which should have been made by ordinary blacksmiths. This kind of weapon is generally provided for the army, and few warriors use this kind of weapon, because for the warrior, this kind of weapon is not of much use at all, and the power is slightly stronger and can be directly crushed.
Shaking his head in disappointment, Meng Wutear turned around and walked out of the door, he couldn't look at any of the weapons here.
"Huh?" Meng Wuxian suddenly stopped, and he saw something familiar. On the wall behind the shopkeeper, there was a necklace, and the appearance of the necklace was very similar to the one I bought last time in Yancheng Lin Xueyin, as if it was a pair. Not only is the appearance similar, but even the spiritual power fluctuations emanating from it are almost identical.
"Boss, where did you get this thing?" Meng Wuxian walked up to the shopkeeper and pointed to the necklace hanging on the wall and asked.
The shopkeeper looked in the direction of Meng Wuxian's finger, and then withdrew his gaze.
"I got it from a little beggar. ”
"Beggars?"
The shopkeeper closed the book in his hand and recalled: "About two months ago, I saw a beggar holding this necklace in his hand. I saw that the chain was not like a vulgar thing, so I paid some silver taels to redeem it. ”
The last time I saw it was more than two months ago, it can't be so coincidental, right? Thinking like this, Meng Wuxian said, "Now, I want this necklace, make a price." ”
"Are you sure? I paid a lot of money to redeem it last time, and you have to get a higher price for it. ”
"No problem, you can make an offer. Meng Wu patted his chest with tears and said. "I'll buy it no matter how much it costs. The words were very powerful, but he never thought that he had no money at all.
"If you really want it, take fifty taels of silver, and the chain will be yours. I can tell you in advance that I took this necklace to the Uliz auction house and asked the master treasure connoisseur to appraise it, and they said that it was just an ordinary necklace tainted with some spiritual power. It's too late for you to regret it now, and I won't return it to you after paying the money. The shopkeeper seemed to be afraid that Meng Wuxian would regret his loss afterwards, so he kept admonishing.
"Okay, okay, I got it. You are really a bad guy, how can anyone do business will tell the buyer all the shortcomings of the product. Meng Wuxian smiled and said, he thought it would be more expensive, he remembered that the necklace he bought for Lin Xueyin last time cost him more than a thousand taels; touched his body with his hand, and Meng Wuxian had to pay.
"Uh~" Meng Wutear's face changed suddenly, and his movements also paused. Only now did he remember that he didn't even have a penny on him, so where could he get fifty taels.
"Why, you repented. Seeing Meng Wuxian stop moving, the shopkeeper subconsciously thought that Meng Wuxian had changed his mind and didn't want to buy.
"That's... Can you use the Tonifying Pill to pay the bills here?" Meng Wuxian only had the Tonifying Elixir he got from Mo Mo on his body, and asked cheekily.
"No, you can't. The shopkeeper's face became a little unnatural, this guy had no money for a long time, and he wasted so much saliva in vain. Sitting back in his chair and leaning back, the shopkeeper began to read the book again.
"That, you are accommodating, my elixir is worth more than silver. ”
"That's for you warriors, but for me, silver is the best. The shopkeeper said as he read a book. "If you really want to buy it, you can go to the Uriz auction house and exchange it for silver. ”
"Can you exchange it for silver? Why didn't you say it earlier. Meng Wutear's face was a little excited, and he was about to exchange for silver.
"They also need to have at least a hundred tonic pills there to redeem them, otherwise they won't exchange them for you. ”
His body stiffened instantly, and Meng Wuxian cried out in his heart. The sum of the front and back on his body was only fifty or sixty tonic elixirs. "You wait, wrap the necklace for me, and I'll go back and get the money. ”
As he spoke, Meng Wuxian ran in the direction of the inn. He was going to ask the shopkeeper Zhao to borrow some silver, although it was a little difficult to speak, but it was only for the sake of the necklace.
Back at the inn, Meng Wutear ran to the backyard, where Shopkeeper Zhao and Jun Xiaoxiao lived.
"Shopkeeper Zhao ~ Shopkeeper Zhao!" entered the backyard, Meng Wutear shouted at the top of his throat. After all, Jun Xiaoxiao also lives in this courtyard, and it is not easy for him to find room by room, in case he finds Jun Xiaoxiao's room, it is always a little bad.
"Who, disturbing the quiet. An old voice came, and Shopkeeper Zhao walked out of the room.
"It's no tears, I don't know what to do with looking for old decay. With his eyes open, Shopkeeper Zhao looked at it for a while before he could see who it was.
"Hehe, shopkeeper Zhao, let's discuss something for you. Meng Wuxian ran to the shopkeeper Zhao, rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassed.
"Hehe, if you have something to say, just say it, I will definitely help. ”
"This, I urgently need fifty taels of silver now, I don't know..."Meng Wuxian said a little restrainedly, it was the first time he had borrowed money from outsiders.
"It turned out to be asking for money, I thought it was a big deal. Shopkeeper Zhao stroked his beard and smiled.
"Of course, it's not for nothing. I have some tonic elixir here, and I want to exchange fifty taels of silver with you. ”
"Eh, without tears, you will see the outside world. Isn't it just fifty taels of silver, just take it directly? Shopkeeper Zhao took out a money bag from his body and handed it to Meng Wuxian. "It should be more than fifty taels of silver, so you can use it." ”
"How can this be done, how can I ask for your money for nothing. Meng Wutear excused. "You should take these elixirs. Saying that, Meng Wuxian took out all the tonic pills on his body.
"I can't help it, this mere fifty taels of silver is worth these elixirs. Besides, I'm a mortal, this elixir is useless to me, so you should keep it yourself. ”
"No, take your money for nothing, I don't want to go. Seeing that Shopkeeper Zhao didn't want to make up the elixir, Meng Wuxian also returned the money bag.
"You kid are so tough, or else, you keep the money, and as compensation, you have to help me when I need it. This can be regarded as an equivalent exchange, how about it?" said Shopkeeper Zhao, with his eyes rolling.
"That's a good idea, that's it. When Meng Wuxian heard this, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he agreed.
"Then you can take the money. ”
After taking the money bag, Meng Wuxian said goodbye and hurriedly ran out and went straight to the weapon shop.
And Shopkeeper Zhao is already happy in his heart at the moment. It only cost a mere fifty taels of silver, which not only shortened the distance between the two, but also succeeded in making the other party owe him a favor;
