21. Coming from afar

"Sister! Brother Yun! ”

Zi Youzheng was immersed in Yun Tianming's voice, and just wanted to ponder the meaning of the lyrics, but was interrupted by Ashin's shouting.

Ashin ran over and said:

"Sister.... There were a lot of people in the village, and a few of them looked at the fierce ones, pulled a lot of rabbits, and said that they were going to sell them to our family. ”

"Aunt Cui said she couldn't make up her mind, so I asked me to come and call you." Ashin said a little anxiously, although his voice was intermittent with the movement of running over, Ziyu also understood it.

"Slow down, don't fall." Ziyou watched Ashin run in a hurry and added:

"I know, don't come here, go back first and tell Aunt Cui that we will come over immediately, and walk back slowly."

Ziyou and Yun Tianming glanced at each other, and Aunt Liu, who rushed to dig sea pepper seedlings next to her, also heard it.

Chao Ziyou said: "It's okay, we'll all be fine, wait for me to tell them, there is something at home, you can go back quickly." ”

"Well, thank you, auntie."

Aunt Liu waved her hand at the two of them, squatted down, and began to dig for sea pepper seedlings.

The two hurried back.

Before I got to the door of the house, I saw a group of about eight or nine people, standing in a circle, standing at the door of their house, next to a donkey cart and a few carts full of cages of rabbits, and even a few of them were hung on them.

Although the clothes on his body were all in tatters, he looked particularly spectacular due to the large size of the group.

"Sister, Brother Yun!" Ashin shouted when he saw them coming.

The group of people also heard the movement and looked over along the eyes of Aunt Cui and Ashin.

I saw a man stand up.

He was wearing a homespun shirt with fewer patches, a belt casually tied around his waist that looked slightly cracked, long black hair, tied up casually with a strip of cloth, a full beard, covering his facial features, tall and fierce, and his appearance looked a little fierce at first glance.

but his eyes are not like those of a great evildoer.

He hugged his fists in the direction of Yun Tianming and Ziyou, as if he had never seen Yun Tianming's crutches, and asked him:

"Are you the one who runs the house? Is it up to you to get an idea about collecting rabbits? The tone was extraordinarily polite.

Yun Tianming shook his head and looked at Ziyou.

Zi You knew at a glance that the other party was here to sell rabbits, and there were many people who came to send rabbits recently, but it was the first time that so many people were sent at once.

She walked over to the other party, followed his example and hugged her fists and said, "The little woman is in charge of collecting the rabbits." ”

After speaking, he looked at everyone's gray faces and chapped lips and said:

"It looks like you're coming from afar, let's have some tea in the house." After Ziyou finished speaking, he nodded at Aunt Cui.

Asked Ashin where Huang Yu had gone?

"Brother Yu is still doing math problems in the school, and he hasn't come back, he is more obsessed than I was at the time." Ashin replied.

"Then Ashin will help the eldest lady bring some tea, and see if there is anything to eat." Ziyou touched Ashin's head, and after speaking, he looked at Yun Tianming again.

"Whoa." Ashin replied.

Yun Tianming also waved his hand at Ziyou, signaling her to be busy first.

Ziyou nodded and led the other party to the courtyard.

"Everyone, wait a moment, the room is too small to sit down, wait for me to move the tables and chairs out, you can rest your feet first."

After saying that, Ziyou went to the hall and moved the table out, the table at Aunt Cui's house was six feet long and four feet wide, made of solid wood, and when Ziyou picked it up, her entire body was completely covered.

The group in the courtyard just untied the rabbit tied to their bodies,

I saw Ziyou walking out with a big table in his arms, and they were all surprised, and they felt that it was not good to stand dry, so they hurriedly came over to help.

Ziyou only felt a light hand and said, "Thank you." ”

After she finished speaking, she went and moved all the stools out of the house.

Aunt Cui held the teapot and poured a glass of water for everyone.

Ashin came over with another curtain of white-flour steamed buns.

When it was handed to them, they were still a little incredulous.

"Not yet." The bearded man said.

Only then did everyone react and say with flattered expressions: "Thank you, thank you." ”

"You're welcome, let's talk about rabbits after eating." Ziyu looked at the man with a long beard.

The other party's grateful Chao Ziyou nodded, and swallowed a whole steamed bun in a few bites, and Ziyou was stunned for a moment, the first time I saw someone eating steamed bread, it was swallowed.

....

Ziyou handed over another one.

....

Hand over another one.

....

I'd like to hand over another one.

....

"Thank you, girl, Duan is full, hiccup~"

"We're also full, we haven't eaten white noodles for a long time, thank you girl..."

Ziyou didn't want to thank them, nodded at them, and looked at the beard.

"When I heard that the stone trench village collects rabbits, my brother just... Hiccup~"

Ashin hurriedly handed over a glass of water.

Ziyou looked a little funny when he looked at the other party hiccups and was in a hurry to speak, so in order not to embarrass the other party, he took over the conversation and asked:

"Are all the rabbits out there ready to be sold?"

"Hmm, Hiccup~"

"Do you know the price?"

The man who claimed to be Duan drank the water and swallowed deeply.

"I know, seven cents a pound is one penny more than others."

Ziyou nodded at him, and saw that Yun Tianming had already taken out all the weighing tools.

"I'm going to get pen and ink." After Ashin finished speaking, he ran over.

The group went outside the door again and unloaded the rabbit into the yard.

Let the sons be weighed by their leaders.

As soon as he finished weighing Ashin, he counted it out.

"Sister, there are three hundred and four rabbits in total, one thousand nine hundred and eighty-two catties, and if you pay seven dollars a catty, it is thirteen thousand eight hundred and seventy-four wen." Ashin finished speaking and looked at Ziyu.

Everyone looked at Ashin in a daze, and then looked at the beard again.

"Ahem." He coughed dryly, and looked at Ashin again to see that there was no trace of an abacus in front of the other party.

Surprised, he asked Ashin: "How did the little boy figure it out?" It's so fast! ”

"My sister taught me." Ashin's proud asahi looked.

The other party took a deep look at Ziyou.

"Admire! We have already calculated before we came today, and although there is a slight discrepancy in the amount of weight, it is very different. ”

"Don't dare to be, my name is Ziyou, may I ask your Excellency's name?" Ziyou asked, holding a pen.

"Duan chapter, set up a morning chapter."

Ziyou nodded, filled in the name on the contract, and handed it over.
