Chapter Eighty-Five: The Leather Shop
The young lady and the brother didn't hear what Yun Duo said, she had already followed the gray mouse out of the alley, turning all the way, and came to the most prosperous commercial street, most of the houses here are shops outside, and there is a small courtyard that can be used for people to live in.
The place where Yun Duo is standing now is one of the alleys behind a small courtyard, and the rats have already entered through the small hole at the base of the wall, and Yun Duo looked at the wall, and listened to the lack of movement around, took out a handkerchief to cover his face, jumped up, and went up to an old locust tree on the edge of the wall.
I don't know how long the old locust tree has been growing here, its dense foliage towering into the clouds, and its shape is hidden by the interlaced branches, and the clouds look down.
The courtyard below is clear at a glance, different from the traditional yard, there is a stone road in the middle, and both sides are all made into sheepfolds, cowsheds, and some cattle and sheep are circled inside, and a row of houses in the back is quiet, without a trace of movement.
The front shop looks like it's open from the perspective of the clouds, but I don't know what it's selling.
Just as he was about to get off the tree, the clouds froze, and under the wall was ......
There seemed to be something under the gap between the wall and the sheepfold and the cowshed, and when the clouds looked closely, there was a trap looming under the weeds?
Such a small gap, why put this, this yard is really weird.
The cloud jumped off the tree, patted the hem of the skirt, walked out of the back alley, pretended to wander and walked to the main entrance of the shop, and it turned out to be a fur shop.
Yun Duo straightened his face and walked into the shop.
All kinds of leather goods were stacked in a messy manner, and there was only one old man with a rickety body, squatting on the ground to sort out the leather goods.
Yun Duo cleared his throat, and the old man seemed to have just noticed that someone was coming, stood up, grinned his toothless mouth, and beckoned, "Girl, do you want to buy skin?" ”
"Exactly, my father is about to celebrate his birthday, I want to buy a good leather for him to make a big one, I wonder if the shopkeeper has any good recommendations?"
"Then it depends on the girl's budget? We have all the good ones. ”
"Money is not an issue, you pick up good recommendations." Yun Duo looks like a little daughter who doesn't know what to do.
"Girl, sit down, I'll pick you a few." The old man's smiling face seemed to be blooming, and he hurriedly let the clouds go to the circle chair by the window, and was about to turn around and pour tea.
"Don't pour the tea, hurry up, it doesn't taste very good here." Yun Duo looked disgusted, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and looked unbearable.
The old man said yes, and when he turned around, Yun Duo clearly saw that he seemed to be relieved, and Yun Duo just didn't know.
The old man picked among the skins piled on the ground, took out a few wolf skins and fox skins, and walked tremblingly to the clouds, and was about to hand them to the clouds.
Yun Duo dodged sideways: "Just put it on the table, this is the best?" ”
"Of course! Girl, you see, this wolf skin is oily and slippery, and it is the most suitable to be a big one, and this fox skin is also good. ”
Yun Duo's eyes swept over the leather goods, and he said with a wealth of money: "Hmm! It's good, I want as much silver as I want, but you have to deliver it to me. ”
"This ...... Girl, look, I'm the only one in this shop, I'm afraid it's not easy to go! Are you coming alone? Seeing that you are not bad for money, why didn't you let the maid follow. The old man asked casually.
"They were annoyed to death, I finally got rid of it, if you don't give it to me, I don't want to take these stinky things." The clouds looked pampered.
"Yes, yes, then I'll send you to the house, I don't know where the young lady's family lives?"
"It's over there Tonghuai Hutong, and the biggest Zhou Mansion is, Nuo! This is silver, and if you have more, it will be regarded as a reward! Yun Duo casually put a purse still on the leather goods on the table, and then looked like he could no longer bear the smell of the house, and was about to go out with a silk handkerchief.
"Gotcha! Slow down, Miss, I'll send it to you later. The old man grabbed his purse, weighed it, and sent it out the door.
The clouds did not look back, and walked along the street until they could no longer feel the gaze behind them, and then they blended into the crowd and flashed to the mouth of an alley.
Turning left and right from the alley, he returned to the big locust tree, and jumped on the branch where he had been hiding before, just in time to see that the leather shop had been on the door.
The old man hurriedly entered the house in the backyard, and he didn't stumble anymore, his rickety back was straight, although it was still the vicissitudes of life, his figure was extremely tall.
Yun Duo secretly thought in his heart: Sure enough, there is a problem, all the good and bad leather goods are piled together, although the skin given to her is good, but it is not the best, which businessman will not know the quality of his own things.
The address he reported was also made up casually, but the man did not suspect it, and it was obvious that this person was not the shopkeeper of the shop.
Besides, the leather goods are not cheap, although there is money in the purse he gave, but it is definitely not enough, although the old man made a look of a wealth fan, but he didn't even open the purse to see, obviously just wanted to take her away quickly.
Although there is no news from my brother's side, all the road sections outside Cangshan County have been set up, and those people can't get out of Cangshan County, so the people who kidnapped my uncle can only hide in the county seat.
There was a gray mouse leading the way, and then there was this temptation, and Yun Duo was sure that Uncle Bacheng was in this shop.
It's just that it's a blue sky, and I don't know how many people there are on the other side, Yun Duo is worried that he will rush in, what if he provokes the dog to jump off the wall and hurt his uncle.
Let's just wait here until it gets dark, and the clouds have made up their minds, adjusted their comfortable positions on the branches, and prepared to wait.
Suddenly, there was a slight movement between the branches in the lower left, and the clouds looked down, and only a corner of cyan could be seen among the dense leaves, and the color of the clothes was similar to the leaves.
Friend or foe? The cloud held its breath and quietly slid down, quickly pulling the hairpin from his head against the man's throat before the man could react.
"Say, who are you?"
The person who was restrained first stiffened, but after hearing the sound of the clouds, he relaxed, did not look back, and said in a low voice: "Duoduo, your hairpin is not sharp enough." ”
Before the words fell, the hairpin in Yun Duo's hand had already been taken off, and Yun Duo only felt that his body was spinning, and he had been bound between the branch and the man's chest.
The clouds didn't have time to react, and the first thing that broke into the nostrils was the man's nice smell of grass, which lingered on the tip of his nose when he was wrapped in that coat last night.
Yun Duo raised his hand and hammered it on the man's chest, and said angrily: "I don't think my hairpin is sharp enough, I'll cut your throat next time." ”
The man smiled lowly, "Hahaha! Okay, as long as you are willing, I will wash your neck and send it to your hairpin. ”
