Xiao Xia lowered her head, no one knew what she was thinking about was the question of how much the fox could sell.

On the fifteenth day, Xiao Xia and Xiao Chun carried the newly woven bamboo basket on their backs, and set foot on the road to Gushan Town again in an ox cart, there were few people in the village today, only two or three Xiao Xia did not know the mother-in-law, and the last time they came did not come. It would be nice for people in small mountain villages to come back to town a few times a year, so they have spare money and time to hang out. Even Wang's husband and son were in town, and she couldn't come because Mrs. Jia didn't agree.

When she arrived at Gushan Town, Xiao Xia wore a brand new single coat and carried a bamboo basket a head taller than her to pull Xiao Chun as she walked, observing where she could sell the fox in the space. The last time I came to town, I still had six taels and nine hundred and sixty dollars left. In this era, one tael of gold was equal to ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver was one thousand wen. Two pennies can buy a white-flour steamed bun, which is still very affordable.

Xiao Xia took Xiao Chun and walked for a long time, and finally saw an inconspicuous small shop in an inconspicuous alley. An old plaque with the word 'leather' on the door of the shop reads. The black wooden door is hidden, and the door can be crowded.

Xiao Xia knocked on the door, no one answered inside, comforted Xiao Chun, who had been tugging on her sleeves, and walked in, the sun shone into the store, it was not big, there was no furniture, and there were several animal skins on the wall, but Xiao Xia couldn't see what it was.

"Anyone?" Xiao Xia cautiously whispered.

Very powerful footsteps came from inside, but out came an old man with a hunched back, wearing a black felt hat, a white beard hanging down on his chest, although it was the age of the sixtieth year, but a pair of shrewd and clear eyes and a strong body.

The old man looked up and down at the little girl standing in the room with a big basket on her back, her big eyes seemed to be able to speak, but it was impossible to ignore her just standing there quietly. The old man felt a little pity, if only it were a male baby. Hiding outside the door, the older girl was hiding with her eyes wide nervously, the two were sisters at first glance, but they had completely different personalities.

"Something?" The hoarse voice makes people's hairs stand up when they hear it.

Xiao Xia is not afraid. "Grandpa, do you accept prey here?"

"Receive."

Xiao Xia silently put the fox in the space into the back basket, which was covered with cloth all the time, so it would not be discovered.

Xiao Xia put the basket on the ground, tore off the cloth, and a fox appeared in the bamboo building.

The old man glanced at the fox in the bamboo building, without any expression, turned around and left. "Follow me."

Xiao Xia picked up the bamboo building again, this time it was not so easy, there was a fox of about ten catties inside. Xiao Xia turned around and motioned for Xiao Chun to follow him, and followed the old man to the inner courtyard.

The yard was very small, and the old man opened an iron cage placed on the ground, took Xiao Xia's bamboo building, put the fox in the cage, and locked it.

Xiao Xia had been watching silently, and she actually saw the fox she thought was dead, and moved, wasn't it dead? But it's been in the space for two days, and her space is a closed vacuum, and as long as it's a creature inside, don't think about being alive.

The old man observed outside the cage for a moment. He stroked his beard and said, "This fox is a grass fox, the most common among foxes, and its coat color is average." But the advantage is that it is still alive and unharmed. Therefore it is worth ten taels of silver. ”

'Ten taels? Xiao Xia was shocked, and a pure gold bracelet was only seven taels. I didn't expect that in this era, wild animals are also so valuable, which is really good. I have found a way to make a fortune.

"Thank you, grandpa." Xiao Xia smiled sweetly.

The old man didn't talk much, so he went into the back room and took a silver ingot of ten taels of silver and gave it to Xiao Xia, and waved his hand.

Xiao Xia didn't say much, bowed deeply, turned around and pulled her sister who had been trembling and left.

Koharu was dragged around by Konatsu along the way, and she didn't say anything when she asked her what she was looking for. Now I finally know that Xiao Xia actually caught a fox, she has never seen a fox before, and I heard the old man say that the fox is still a living fox. How did Natsu catch it? Koharu's mind is full of question marks?

"Sister, don't worry! I'm not going to get hurt, I have my own little way. You're going to keep this a secret for me, okay? "Xiaoxia is only eight years old, and her mother will definitely not let her go to the market alone, so she can only pull Xiaochun. can only let her help herself keep secrets.

"But?" Xiaochun is still worried, I heard the old man say that the fox is the most cunning and very smart, how did Xiaoxia catch it?

"Let's go sell your purse! I don't know how much I can sell it this time? Xiao Xia changed the topic, not giving Xiao Chun a chance to think nonsense, and dragged her to run.

As soon as they walked out of this alley, a teenager also carried a big basket on his back, turned into this alley and walked into the shop.

"Old man, you look at it." The boy is eleven or twelve years old, with melon seed face and phoenix eyes, a tall and straight nose, thin red lips, and very fair skin, which can even shine like a diamond in the sun. looks very delicate and handsome, but it's a pity that it's a man, if the girl grows up, she will be a beauty who fascinates all beings.

The young man obviously came to this store often, and went directly into the backyard, and when he saw the old man, he smiled lightly, and he actually had the posture of captivating the country.

"This roe deer is good, give you four taels." The old man had long been immune to his beauty, he didn't give him an extra look, and the young man was not angry, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the fox in the cage and had opened his eyes, and immediately became interested.

"Huh? How can there be a living fox, and that Orion is so powerful? The boy found a stick and put it into the cage, teasing the fox, who was not yet anesthetized, and could not move.

"A little girl sent it." The old man had obviously forgotten about Koharu, who didn't have a high sense of existence.

The boy tilted his head and thought for a moment. "That's the Orion of that house? The people who can come here are regulars, why am I not impressed? ”

"Haven't seen it before. The method of hunting had never been seen before, and the fox had no wounds on it, nor was it drugged or poisoned, but it could not move. The old man patiently explained.

"And such a powerful technique?" The young man was even more surprised, he actually put his hand into the cage and pulled the fox's tail, the fox in the cage had a look, as if he was going to pounce and tear apart this human who dared to provoke him in the next second. But it just shook its head and didn't move.

"There are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky." The old man sighed.

"Master?" The young man was about to speak, but the old man sternly stopped him.

"I told you not to call me master during the day. You take the money and go back! I'll go to you in the evening. ”

The boy nodded and turned to leave, as if nothing had happened.
