Chapter 20 Inquiry

If only there was a watermelon, is there a watermelon to eat?

Li Jicai walked up to the old man in three steps and two steps, and the old man just stared down at his tea bowl as if he didn't see her, and didn't want to raise his head to look at her, ignoring her interest in the slightest.

It's embarrassing, is it because you can see that she has no money? In the past, when Li Jicai was working as a network administrator, he often encountered many children running to Internet cafes to surf the Internet, but there was no money in their pockets.

At first, she could still let them in to play for a while, but later the boss found out and scolded her, and said that if Li Jicai let those children go online for free, it would be deducted from her salary.

Originally, she didn't earn much salary, if she was deducted, where could she resist it? So later, when those children came to the Internet café to surf the Internet again, Li Jicai lowered her head and pretended not to see it, playing with her Nokia keyboard machine, and the sound of her nails poking on those keys showed that she seemed to be very busy typing, and she had no time to take care of the children who threw longing eyes at her.

Li Jicai really didn't have a penny on her, and the Wang family was poor, and she didn't have a chance to see what the currency of Chu looked like.

Li Jiye also followed not long after, and saw Li Jicai stopped in front of a small tea stall in a daze, and looked at her suspiciously, how could she drink tea if she wanted to.

"Do you have any money?" Li Jicai didn't look back, but she felt that a man and a dog behind her had followed, so she asked Li Jiye if he had any money, and if he had money, then she could speak.

Rich? Of course he has money, but his money isn't here for the time being.

Li Jiye pretended to touch his pocket, and then an embarrassed look appeared on his face, and his hands waved to both sides, indicating that his pocket was also empty.

He remembered that when he and his attendants landed here, his attendants obviously gave him a large bag of silver, but he should have accidentally lost it, and now he can't find it if he wants to, so he will have to rely on this Li Jicai in the future.

She knew that she couldn't count on him! Ay!

"Grandpa, my brother and I are tired and thirsty from walking so far, can you enjoy a bowl of tea?"

Li Jicai was afraid that the old man would collect money from them, and was hesitating to explain how they had no money, but they wanted tea.

The old man finally raised his head after Li Jicai spoke, and then looked at her fixedly and smiled: "A penny and a bowl." ”

The price was quoted directly, and you discussed it yourself to see if you drank it.

Li Jicai, who originally wanted to gain sympathy, suddenly choked back into his stomach what he was about to say.

"Grandpa, my brother and I are going to go to the capital to find our distant relatives, and we were robbed by gangsters on the way, so we finally escaped in the chaos, and we are already penniless, you can do it."

Because he was too anxious, he hesitated again and again, and Li Jicai opened his mouth again.

Originally, Li Jiye didn't feel thirsty, but when Li Jicai said this, he also felt that he was a little thirsty, after all, from last night to now, he has not finished his rice, he has not drunk a drop of water, and he has only been in the western suburbs for two days.

When the old man heard this, he looked at Li Jicai seriously, and took the person and dog behind her.

He did not answer Li Jicai's words directly, but set his eyes on Xiao Erhei's body. Xiao Erhei was stunned by the old man's eyes and took two steps back.

"This wolfhound, yours?"

Li Jicai just wanted to say no, but the dog followed her all the way from the mass grave to here, it was indeed her dog, and she had already named it.

So she nodded.

"I think this dog is good, and I can drink the tea here, but how about you give me this dog?" The old man's unkind face set off a strange smile, and an oblique scar crossed his face, splitting his face in two, Li Jicai hadn't noticed it when the old man lowered his head just now, and when she looked at him, she was shocked by his appearance.

But if she wants to sell Xiao Erhei for a cup of tea, this is inevitably a little immoral, after all, Xiao Erhei has been by her side since the moment she woke up, even if it may just be because it is fun, or something, but this can be regarded as one of her partners in another world, so long.

No, no, if you encounter any small rivers and lakes, drink the water, this old man's water can't drink, this person doesn't look like a good person, then don't drink it.

"Grandpa, this dog is called Xiao Erhei, he has come all the way with us, he is our partner, I can't agree to this, you don't drink this tea, if you don't drink it, you won't drink it." Li Jicai shook his head, and then said firmly.

Then he turned to the man and the dog behind her and said, "Let's go." "And then he took the lead.

The old man looked at her with burning eyes, and just when Li Jicai had already raised his feet and walked a few steps.

He finally spoke again: "That's it, I'll be a good person today, you drink, I won't take your money." "It's generous, but isn't there a deception in it?

Li Jicai was suddenly a little unsure, the old couple of the Wang family who rescued her before were really good, but it was not good when they tried to turn her into his daughter-in-law later.

The heart of defense is indispensable, at the beginning, he said that he wanted to change the dog, but now he changed his words and said that he would not change it and give them free drink, how can there be a good thing in the world to drop the pie?

I'm afraid this old man can't believe it or not.

But Li Jiye heard him say this when he was passing by the stall, so he stopped decisively, then stretched out his hand to pull out the small stool, squeezed it over and sat on it.

The table is boxy, and naturally there are stools on all four sides.

The old man sat one, Li Jiye sat one, and there were two remaining seats.

When Li Jicai found that there was no movement behind him, he looked back curiously, and found that Xiao Erhei had already pounced on someone's table.

Because Li Jiye sat down, Xiao Erhui, who had been following him all the way, naturally stopped.

The two of them sat there drinking tea, if Li Jicai could leave quietly, it would be a little embarrassing, forget it, they are all here, they are all passing by, they are really drinking his two bowls of tea and they will not be poisoned.

So Li Jicai's face pulled out a somewhat ugly smile, she also turned back, and also pulled out a small wooden stool and sat down, the four corners of this stool are tied together with four short logs, the thickness of the head is not the same, so the bottom is not flat, and when she sits on it, the whole person's body is also a little crooked.
