On the table is a palm-sized wooden carving.

The carving is a handsome horse neighing wildly, raising its hooves and raising its head, neighing towards the sky, silent but as if there is a sound, very expressive.

It's just that the shopkeeper has a vicious eye.

The carving skills are very exquisite, but the wood selected is average.

Chu Lange seemed to have expected the shopkeeper's reaction, "Shopkeeper, please take a closer look, although the wood is ordinary, have you found that the carved horses are not ordinary?" This is a war horse, the one that has accompanied General Chu for several years. The greatest value of this is not the wood carving, but the carving itself, do you know who the person who carved it is? ”

"Who?" The shopkeeper's mind was completely raised.

"It's General Chu Lange."

"Bang! ……”

The shopkeeper was surprised, and before he could answer the words, there was a slight sound in the small room on the other side of the screen.

Chu Lange was very surprised, he didn't expect that there were people behind the screen. This body didn't understand martial arts, so Chu Lange didn't notice it at first. She looked at the shopkeeper inquiringly.

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically, "The girl doesn't have to mind, the people inside are the proprietors of our Mulan Zhai." ”

"Oh. Let's make an offer. Chu Lange didn't want to delay.

"Girl, please have tea." The shopkeeper said politely, and the shrewdness of the businessman began to calculate, "General Chu was a master of carving during his lifetime, and I have heard a little about this, but we ordinary people don't have the blessing to see General Chu's handwriting with our own eyes." The girl said that this is General Chu's posthumous work, how can I prove it? ”

Chu Lange said: "You don't need to prove it, those who understand it can naturally understand." ”

"Isn't that embarrassing, girl. If a customer asks me what proof I have, I can't say that I don't need it. The shopkeeper's face was embarrassed, and his slightly exposed eyes secretly looked at Chu Lange, a sallow and thin little face, only a pair of big eyes were particularly focused, and if you look closely, you will find that there is no youthful youth and apprehension in those eyes, like a bottomless pool of water, and the waves are not happy.

The shopkeeper was secretly puzzled.

Chu Lange raised the corners of his lips shallowly, as if he was smiling, and his action was to put away the carving art again, and then wrap it back layer by layer, "If the shopkeeper doesn't accept it, then I'll go find another house." ”

"Girl—" The shopkeeper stopped.

Chu Lange ignored the shopkeeper and continued to walk out.

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the side of the screen, "Give her a thousand taels, bring the things to my son to see......"

A very special and charming man's voice, soft with a hint of charm, revealing a bit of demon in the charm. Just hearing this sound is enough for the listener to reverie and be amazed.

Chu Lange smiled unabatedly, calm and waveless.

Don't be confused by the voice......

The shopkeeper immediately ordered the account office to take out a thousand taels and give it to Chu Lange.

Chu Lange put away the silver ticket, thanked him and left.

At this time, the shopkeeper sent the carving to the owner of the screen.

It doesn't take half an hour.

A young man with a wooden carving in his hand rushed out of the street in a panic.

It's just a pity that Chu Lange has long disappeared from the streets.

……

Chu Lange used the wood he picked up next to the thatched house and spent a little effort in exchange for a thousand taels.

After leaving Mulan Zhai, the first thing I did was to go to the money bank and exchange it for fifty taels of silver, and the rest was exchanged for a small silver ticket. The second thing is to go to the pawnshop to redeem the jade bracelet that was pawned a few days ago. Seeing that the time was still early, I passed by a tavern on Niulan Street, and took out a small piece of broken silver to buy a small jar of water-seeping wine.

Stroll to the moat, sit on the stone fence next to the willow tree, and drink alone.

I don't know why, I just want to take a sip.
