I was a little depressed for a while, so I put away the jade pendant.

Changing his mood, he got up and filled the wooden basin with water and brought it back to the hut: "Mother, I'll boil the water in a while, throw a towel, and wipe it for you." ”

"My family Ah San has really grown up."

Looking at Su San, who was walking around the house, busy lighting a fire, Bai Yinli expressed his relief.

"Ah San is still young."

Su San put down the dry firewood in his hand, looked at Bai Yinli seriously, and looked a little coquettish when he smiled.

As if infected, Bai Yinli's face couldn't help but smile.

She smiled very beautifully, and Su San was a little stupid when she saw it.

"It's so good to look at my mother."

Bai Yinli scolded with a slightly red smile on his cheeks.

"My mother laughs so beautifully... It's like..."

Su San quickly flipped through the ancient poems he had learned in his mind, thinking about which sentence was suitable for description.

"Take care of the city, and then look at the country!"

racked his brains and finally thought of a poem that was appropriate for the occasion, and Su San excitedly told Bai Yinli.

It's just that when he heard this, Bai Yinli didn't look very happy, but gradually restrained his smile, and his eyes became sharp: "When did Ah San learn to compose poetry." ”

Su San secretly screamed in his heart, in his memory, Bai Yinli had only taught the original owner to read, but he had never taught the original owner to compose poetry.

She swallowed her saliva, pretended to be calm and continued to sort out the dry firewood: "It's Ah San... Self-taught, Ah San went into the city this time and saw a place to sell books and tell stories, so he stayed for a while, and just heard someone use this sentence to describe a beautiful woman, so... And I took it to heart. ”

At the end, she licked her lips and peeked at Bai Yinli while lowering her head to light the fire.

Just listen: "Ah San... My mother doesn't expect you to do anything big in the future, I just hope that you can spend this life peacefully. ”

"But mother, we can't eat and dress well now, and we don't even have any money to see when we're sick, do we have to keep going like this?"

Su San didn't understand why Bai Yinli taught her like this.

Putting down the firewood in his hand, he sat up and looked at her, his eyes full of puzzlement.

Poor to a certain extent, the mother and daughter don't dare to get sick at all, once they get sick, they can only be like Bai Yinli at this time, even if it's just a small wind chill, they can only sit and wait for death if they don't have money to buy medicine.

It's just that Bai Yinli seems to have her insistence.

She sat up excitedly, frowned beautifully, and her voice became stern, and even a little broken: "Ah San, don't you listen to your mother's words?" You... Ahem..."

"Nope!"

Su San was a little aggrieved, although there was a view in history that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", but Su San, as a modern new woman, does not agree.

She is a strong person in her bones, and firmly believes that women should be self-reliant and have their own financial income, so that they will be more confident to speak as a family in the future.

For a while, two people from different eras, with different ideas, looked at each other.

In the quiet thatched hut, only the sound of Bai Yinli's heavy breathing and the "gurgling" sound of the water burning on the fire.

After a long time, Su San took the lead in lowering his gaze, got up and mixed it with warm water and began to wipe Bai Yinli.

"Mother, I'll go out later to see if there are any wild vegetables to dig up and eat."

The original owner used to go digging wild vegetables with Bai Yinli, but yesterday the original owner ran to the town by himself, and I don't know if Bai Yinli would let her go out alone.

She pursed her dry lips, a little nervous.

"Yes"

Bai Yinli didn't say anything, just looked at Su San's eyes... stared at it for a long time.

After everything was cleaned up, Bai Yinli fell asleep tiredly.

Su San lightly took out a cloth bag made of rags from under the thin mattress.

Carefully fold it into a long strip and habitually wrap it around the palm of your right hand.

After pestering, he looked at it a few times over and over again, and said to himself: "It's shorter!" ”

"Mother, I'm leaving..."

Although Bai Yinli had already fallen asleep, Su San still whispered to Bai Yinli's pale sleeping face.

Before going out, she took some dry firewood and filled it on the fire, and then she came out of the hut with confidence, carefully folded the straw curtain, and walked in the direction of Fugui Town.

...

"Take a look, take a look, fresh big meat buns..."

"Zhang's soybean curd is freshly baked..."

Su San walked on the streets of Fugui Town, listening to the noisy cries of selling, looking at all kinds of pastry buns, swallowing saliva, and his stomach also cried with "grunt".

"Ugh..."

Sighing, Su San covered his shriveled stomach, looked up at the sky, pursed his lips, and frowned to endure the throbbing pain in his stomach.

As if she was hungry, she lowered her head and patted her stomach.

Said to himself: "Please, you are holding on, I also know that you are hungry, I am hungry too, I will get the silver later, I will buy you something delicious, okay!" ”

Holding his stomach and walking a few more steps, he stood at the intersection of Fugui Town, looked up at the storefronts of the market, and finally fell on the coldest storefront in the market.

"Pawn Shop"

The pawn shop is not very large, on both sides of the door is written on the words "enter the door and be poor, go out with a lot of money" and other words, and there are also a string of big copper coins hanging on both sides, which is eye-catching.

The environment in the pawn shop is also very simple, as soon as you enter the door, you will see a big "dang" word written on the high "counter", but there is no one in the house.

"Anyone? Shopkeeper's! ”

Su San shouted loudly.

As soon as the words fell, a lazy voice came from overhead.

"Huh? When what? ”

It turned out that the shopkeeper was sitting on the top, but the "counter" was too high, and the shopkeeper was lying on his stomach, so Su San, who was not dominant, naturally couldn't see it.

"I'm going to be this jade pendant."

She tilted her head and glanced at the shopkeeper who sat up, her gray hair was meticulously tied back her head, and her small eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness.

With a hooked nose and a pointed chin, although it doesn't look very kind, it doesn't look like a thief-eyed person.

After some observation, Su San carefully took out the jade pendant placed on his chest and handed it to the "counter".

The shopkeeper took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it carefully, lit a candle, and placed the jade pendant on top of the candle, as if he wanted to see the color of the jade pendant through the light.

After only a few seconds, the shopkeeper finished the identification as soon as he blew out the candle, looked down at Su San and said.

"Your jade pendant is of average quality, but for the sake of her being a piece of jade, if you want me to give you 10 taels of silver."

"Ten taels? Isn't it a little less? ”

Su San didn't know if 10 taels was too much, but with her experience from watching TV and novels, the price given by the shopkeeper of the pawn shop was generally very low.

The shopkeeper looked at her for a while, gritted his teeth, and said another number: "12 taels, no more!" ”

As he spoke, he handed the jade pendant back to Su San, and said angrily: "You want to be a bento..."

Su San took the jade pendant and kept rubbing it in his hand, reluctant to do so in his heart.

It was a last resort to get rid of the jade pendant, but no matter what, she came to this world because of this jade pendant.

If you can't say that you have to rely on this jade pendant if you want to go back in the future, and since this jade pendant can take her through together, maybe there are any secrets that no one knows?

"Is it wrong?"

The shopkeeper was a little impatient, and his tone was not as good as before.

"When."

Su San stretched out his hand holding the jade pendant to the "counter" in slow motion.

However, just when the shopkeeper was about to reach out and take the jade pendant.

"Huh"

The sound of sharp weapons rubbing the air came from far and near, and neither of them reacted, and the sharp weapons passed through the shopkeeper's neck with a "bang" and stuck to the wall behind him.

The shopkeeper who reacted was agitated, withdrew his hand, and stroked his neck back and forth in fear for a while.

Squatting under the counter, he cautiously poked his head out of the door and found nothing, so he hunched over and pulled out the darts on the wall.

The handle of the dart is engraved with the word "Feng", which is the same as the jade pendant engraved in Su San's hand.

"That, it's unlucky today, I won't accept you either."

The shopkeeper laughed dryly twice, and looked at Su San under the "counter" embarrassedly.

I saw her take a deep look at the darts, put away the jade pendant and walked out of the pawn shop. Standing in the doorway, he looked around, and his eyes fell on the high wall opposite.

Su San immediately walked over, raised his hand and knocked on the wall: "Don't hide, you have been exposed!" ”
