Chapter 8: Childe's method of making money
Yan Qing noticed that Gu Li was looking at him, and also looked over to her.
The two looked at each other, Gu Li's eyes were full of doubts, and he was clear.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Li asked.
Yan Qing shook his head and began to eat, without seeing anything unusual on his face.
In this way, Gu Li didn't ask any more questions, lowered her head and continued to read.
There was only one lamp in the house, and she sat under the lamp to read a book, and the yellow light warmly sprinkled on her face and body, adding a sense of peace and warmth to this quiet spring night.
When she finished reading the book, Yan Qing happened to finish eating.
Gu Li closed the book and sighed, her face disappointed.
"What's wrong?" He asked softly.
Gu Li bit her lip: "When I passed by the bookstore at noon, I read a few books and liked it very much." But it was too expensive to buy. ”
Yan Qing smiled softly: "What's so difficult about this?" ”
Gu Li raised his eyes to look at him, with a surprised face: "I want three hundred Wen!" ”
Yan Qing didn't reply, but stood up and said to her, "Follow me." ”
"Where to go?" Gu Li's eyes were confused.
"Buy books." Yan Qing replied, standing at the door and looking back at her, waiting for her to follow.
Gu Li was surprised: "You have money?" ”
"Nope."
Gu Li became more and more puzzled, how to buy it if she had no money? Besides, the bookstore would have been closed a long time ago.
She pursed her lips, thinking he was teasing her.
However, Yan Qing suddenly approached her, pulled her sleeve, and pulled her up.
"Go make money." He pulled her out the door, and said as he went.
Ten thousand question marks rose in Gu Li's mind, and he didn't know what he wanted at all.
In the middle of the night, where do you go to make money?
Yan Qing suddenly stopped, she didn't pay attention and almost bumped into him.
"Did you bring any money?" He looked at her and asked, his voice clear and his face calm.
Gu Li nodded.
"How much?"
"There are more than a dozen articles." Gu Li replied.
"That's enough." With that, he moved on, and she had to follow.
He took her to a cinnamon tree not far from the gate of the Guanyin Temple.
The incense in this Guanyin temple is not bad, but at this moment, late at night, there is silence all around, except for the two of them, there is no one else.
Gu Li became more and more puzzled, there is not even a person here, how to make money?
He stood in front of her, looking down at her, the smile in his deep eyes seemed to be demagogic.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and went over her waist.
Gu Li was stunned, and her heart skipped a beat.
But his hand fell on the long hair that hung down her waist, and untied her red hairband that held a handful of green silk together.
His movements were very light, making Gu Li feel a soft, itchy feeling in his hair, and a slight throbbing suddenly appeared in his heart.
"It still needs a penny." He looked at her and said that his voice was gentle, his eyes were deep, and his smile was still there.
Gu Li came back to his senses and hurriedly took out a penny from his body.
Didn't he even have a penny? So what did he survive by traveling all day long?
Yan Qing tied the penny to the end of the headband, and tied the other end to the branch of the cinnamon tree.
"Tomorrow night, you can come early and get it." Yan Qing looked back at her and said in a gentle voice.
Gu Li didn't believe that he could make money in this way at all, if he could earn it so easily, then why didn't others tie the red rope?
"Let's go back." With that, he turned and walked the way he had come.
Gu Li followed him and went home together.
It was late at night, and they went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Gu Li got up late.
She hurriedly dressed, opened the door and tried to run out. Unexpectedly, there was a person standing in her yard.
Yan Qing heard the voice and turned to look at her, a warm and melodious smile appeared on his handsome and elegant face.
Gu Li was stunned, this was the first time she had seen him in the daytime.
He stood there with his hands in his hands, his long body standing upright, the light golden sunlight in the early morning sprinkled on his spotless white clothes, the spring breeze rippled with a smile, and it was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
His eyes were as deep as the ocean, as if they could swallow everything around him.
"You didn't go out?" Gu Li asked hesitantly.
He smiled and nodded slightly.
Gu Li took out the money on her body and put it on the table.
"I'm going to leave quickly, I don't have time to cook, the money is here, you can go out and buy something to eat yourself." As she spoke, she hurried out.
He didn't have any money, and she didn't know how he lived before, but now that she knew, she should take care of it.
He was the first living person she had seen since she came to this strange world, and he was also the person she knew best, and he helped her many times.
Even though she still hides something from him, she won't tell the truth about her identity, and sometimes she even warns of him, but deep down she already has a trust and hope for him. She hopes that in this strange world, she can still support each other and rely on him for their lives.
Yan Qing was still smiling and glanced at the money on the table.
Three hundred years ago, he had everything, and three hundred years later, he had to rely on a weak woman to support him?
That gentle and elegant smile didn't last long on his face, and soon after Gu Li left, it dissipated in the melting spring breeze.
Disappeared with him, as well as his phantomous immortal figure.
He was like a cloud of smoke, blown away by the spring breeze, and there was no trace.
Gu Li went a little late today, and Doctor Qin didn't blame her, but asked her to hurry up and eat.
All day, while working, she thought about the book she saw in the bookstore yesterday.
I don't know if Yan Qing's method is good or not, can he really make money?
She felt that she couldn't do it, so she thought that she would go to the bookstore again tomorrow, and ask the shopkeeper of the bookstore to keep the books for her, and when she had saved enough money, she would buy them.
When she returned home from work in the evening, Gu Li found that the door of her house was not locked, what she was like when she left, and what she was like when she came back.
The door was not locked, there was only one reason, Yan Qing was at home.
However, when Gu Li pushed open the door and walked in, he found that the house was empty, and there was no trace of him.
The handful of money she had placed on the table in the morning was still there, untouched.
Gu Li couldn't help but be surprised, where did he go?
After waiting for a moment for him to return, she went into the stove to cook.
After cooking, the night just fell.
She still remembered that Yan Qing had instructed her last night to let her come over early tonight to collect the money. So she went out of the house and went to the place where she had been with him the previous night.
Gu Li didn't have much hope, but when she arrived under the cinnamon tree and saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
I saw that the leafy laurel tree was full of red ropes, and copper coins were tied under each red rope, ranging from one or two to more than a dozen. Dense, dense, like a curtain falling.
It's only been a day and a night, how can there be so much? How exactly did he do it?
