Chapter 37 There is silver
"I have my own secret weapon, don't worry!"
"Can't you even tell your sister?" Koharu was a little sad.
"This method was also given to me by others, and I was not allowed to tell anyone else. Otherwise, you can't use it anymore. Xiao Xia said with a pitiful tone, suggesting that she was also very helpless.
Xiaochun is a simple child, and he must have heard his sister say this and didn't ask questions, so he thought about his mother's ginseng.
"So when are we going to buy medicine for my mother?"
"I'm so worried! My father and mother won't let me come back late. But the backer town can't buy a century-old ginseng at all, you know. You can only go to the county seat, and the nearest county seat from here is Jiuyang County, and it will take two days to go back and forth. Sister, can you help me find a way to hide it from my father? ”
"You're going to the county seat, don't think about it, my father and mother won't agree." Xiaochun also knows, but if he leaves for two or three days, he will definitely not be able to hide it, so he can only worry his father.
"If only I let my dad buy it." Koharu's eyes lit up.
"Won't Daddy give the money to Grandma?" If Xiao Xia would never agree to it before, but at this time, she felt that she could tell Shen Zhong that Shen Zhong was a dutiful son, but he was still very good to his wife and daughter, at least in this era, it was not easy to do this.
The sisters discussed for a long time and didn't have a way to get the best of both worlds but to sleep, and then talk about it after changing the silver, there is really no way but to tell their parents, and then they will be told after buying ginseng, otherwise how to regulate Xiao Wang's body?
Because it wasn't the fifteenth day of the new year, there was no ox cart in the village to go to the town, so Xiaoxia got up early in the morning and set off before Xiaochun woke up. Walking on the mountain path, to be honest, the scenery is very charming, but Xiao Xia is not in the mood and time to enjoy it, so she spends her pace as fast as possible. After a month or so of exercise, walking is nothing for Xiao Xia, but it is not that she will not be tired.
After a morning of hiking, he finally arrived at the backing town, and Xiao Xia, who had been here twice, knew where to hire ox carts and carts. After turning around, I finally saw a man with a cart of firewood squatting on the corner of the street selling firewood, and immediately noticed it and walked up.
"Uncle, how do you sell your firewood?"
When the man saw that someone had finally asked about his firewood, he immediately smiled.
"A bundle of two pennies."
When the man saw that Xiao Xia heard the price, he didn't say anything, and he didn't leave, so he hurriedly said, "I can deliver it to my door." ”
"Uncle, how many bundles do you have here, I want them."
When the man heard this, he quickly praised how good his firewood was, a total of twenty bundles, and forty wen guaranteed to be delivered to the door as far as possible.
Xiao Xia turned around and nodded with satisfaction.
"I want all the goods with the car, and I'll give you 300 yuan, what do you think?"
When the man heard this, he was a little strange, why did he even ask for his broken car and give it back so much. This kid is well-dressed, but he can't be a fool, right?
Xiao Xia looked at the man's tangled appearance, and directly took out three hangings of money from his arms, one hanging a hundred yuan.
"To sell or not to sell?"
"Sell ......"
Xiao Xia took the man to turn left and right, and finally found the back door of the store that collected wild things, gave the man two hangs of money and sent the man away.
Xiao Xia waited for a long time and no one passed, so he put the firewood on the car into the space and put the bear and sika deer who were still in a coma on the car, and covered the firewood before knocking on the back door of the leather store.
After a while, the back door opened, and it was still the tough old man from before.
The old man was also stunned when he saw Xiao Xia, and then glanced at the board car behind Xiao Xia to understand. Open the back door directly.
"Trouble grandpa to help, I can't push the car myself." Xiao Xia was embarrassed, she respected the old and loved the young, so she asked an old man of such an age to help.
The old man didn't hesitate to push the cart, and the prey on the cart was not light, and it was impossible for a little girl to transport it by herself.
Xiao Xia couldn't stand still, and pushed hard. "My dad just had something important to do, so he left first." Just explain, anyway, the old man won't ask more if he doesn't believe it.
Xiao Xia didn't feel that she had to make any effort to drive into the yard, and she was even more convinced that this old man must be unusual.
Xiao Xia carried the firewood on the car and finally revealed her prey. This time, the old man did not show any more surprised expressions, but stepped forward to look at his prey.
"Adult sika deer, alive, physically intact. The most valuable parts are deer antler velvet and antlers, which are worth sixty taels. ”
The old man easily picked up the fifty or sixty pound sika deer, and began to observe it again, motionless like a sleeping bear.
"Adult brown bears, alive, with their bodies intact. The most valuable parts are bear bile and bear paw, which are worth eighty taels. ”
Xiao Xia almost smiled, she didn't expect such a value. There are a total of fourteen silver ingots in ten taels, and when Xiao Xia pushed the empty cart and walked out of the small courtyard with a heavy amount of silver in his arms, he was not only happy but also curious about the old man. But curiosity kills the cat, maybe this old man is the so-called master of the world, doesn't it say that the little is hidden in the wild and the big is hidden in the city? This old man must be unusual, and he must have a good relationship.
Find a place where no one is around and put the board cart that is out of the way into the space. Have a great time coming home! The way back seemed to be much shorter, and the steps were much lighter.
When I got home, it was just in time for dinner, but Xiao Wang's face was already very ugly, and she had just warned Xiao Xia yesterday that she couldn't see people for another day, how could people not worry.
"Mother...... "Xiao Xia carefully flattered." Don't be angry. ”
"Where did you go all day today?" A good-natured little Wang was also provoked to anger.
"Mother, I just feel very scared in this family, can you understand? I don't want to face those people, people who say I'm a monster and are going to burn me. I really don't want to see them, so I really don't want to come back. Xiao Xia's words made Shen Zhong and his wife, who were originally very angry, deflated at once.
A few days ago, no one in the Shen family dared to mention it anymore, but it didn't exist.
"Daddy...... You know what it feels like to be on fire? I'm really scared, the fire is so hot, and I hurt so much when I roast it. Xiao Xia recalled the scene at that time, although he had the fear he said, but he was not afraid at all, it was impossible, it was really a line of life and death, if he didn't have the ability to save his life, the consequences could be imagined.
Xiao Wang's heart was full of guilt, and seeing the anger and hatred in Xiao Xia's eyes made her feel even more uneasy. "Xiao Xia, how can you say that it is also your grandparents......"
Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Wang's weak explanation and smiled coldly. She has long lost hope for Baozi Niang! turned to look at Shen Zhong, who had been silent. "Daddy thinks so too? I don't think I should hold a grudge against my grandparents, even if they wanted to marry me to a fool and now they want to burn me to death, I should be as obedient as ever? ”
