Qi Ying and Chu Yanxu and a group of people went down to Tongfeng Mountain and walked south for two hours before entering the city, found a quiet inn and rented a small courtyard, and it was already too late to set up their bags.

Qi Ying instructed Xi Kexin to stay in the courtyard and clean the courtyard of the house, and then went out to walk around the neighborhood. No, just stepping into Sanhui City is like a wild horse that has broken off the leash and keeps jumping, "This is Sanhui City!" It's so lively! ...... There's a monkey there, go see ......."

Qi Ying and Xiao Luan crowded wherever they were lively, Chu Yanxu and Xiao Nan had no choice but to follow behind, at this moment the crowd in Sanhui City was surging, shoulder to shoulder, Chu Yanxu and Xiao Nan had always been happy and quiet and couldn't stand such a crowded toss, and their mood at the moment was like a parent taking a naughty child out on the street, bored and helpless.

Qi Ying watched the monkey trick for a while, and suddenly heard someone shouting in front of him, the middle-aged man was full of all kinds of strange flowers and plants in front of him, many people looked at the novelty and approached to watch, and for a while the crowd had gradually moved closer to the flower vendor's stall. Qi Ying was just about to get into the crowd when Chu Yanxu stopped him and couldn't move, "There are too many people here, don't run around, I won't be able to find you if I lose it." ”

"No, I'll just take a look......" Chu Yanxu's hand she removed was about to drill into the crowd again, but she still couldn't move, it was Chu Yanxu's shoulder that was held down, "If you really can't find me later, you can go back to the inn first, I can recognize the road when I go back by myself, I promise not to lose ......"

Anger gradually appeared on Chu Yanxu's face, "Nonsense! There are a lot of fish and dragons here, don't you know that it will be dangerous for a woman to be alone? ”

This Sanhui city is indeed a mixed place, located in the north of the abyss, Xuanjin, Fujian and the junction of the three countries, this city is a hundred years ago the three countries jointly demarcated and built. There are three gates in this Sanhui city, the northwest gate is open in the territory of the Beiyuan Kingdom, the east gate is in the territory of the Xuanjin Kingdom, and the south gate is in the territory of the Fujian Province, the three gates are guarded by the garrisons of the three countries, there are many checkpoints, and the pedestrians and accompanying items in and out of the city need to pass through layers of checks, precisely because each country only pays attention to the transit pedestrians and goods circulation within its own territory, and it is the one who chooses its benefits to supervise more, and the focus is on the city gate gate in each country, so the Sanhui City has become a place where the people of the three countries are mixed, There is also a lack of strong supervision, so it is more likely to breed various forces to entrench, and the chaos can be imagined.

"Shall I just take a look? Just a glance......"

Seeing that Qi Ying refused to give up and had to go in to join in the fun, Chu Yanxu looked helplessly at the dark crowd and sighed, "Follow me......."

He pulled Qi Ying all the way through the crowd, and the two of them finally stood in front of the flower stall, while Xiao Luan, who followed behind, was squeezed by the crowd and croaked, and finally squeezed to Qi Ying and the others.

"Wow...... It's so beautiful" The bright and colorful flowers in front of him made Qi Ying feel amazing, and he couldn't help but exclaim again and again, "Boss, what kind of flowers are these?" ”

"Auntie...... Madam, I didn't say that there are fifty kinds of flowers and plants in this stall, I don't know what kind of flowers and plants Madame asked? The flower seller saw Qi Ying for the first time, and saw that her words and deeds were inevitably a little childish, and he wanted to call "girl" when he opened his mouth, and then found that although she looked young, she was already dressed as a young woman, and saw that there was a handsome young man standing next to her, and the two behaved intimately, thinking that the two should be husband and wife, so they hurriedly changed their words to call Qi Ying "Mrs."

"Just the ...... in front of me" Qi Ying pointed to the potted plant in front of her, this potted plant was completely different from the other potted plants in the stall, the brown plum blossom ceramic wide-mouth pot was not directly planted with flowers, but planted with a half-height bowl thick branch, a flower plant grew on the half-rotten bark, the root system of the flower plant was coiled on the bark as if it was integrated with the trunk, and there were several white flowers with sharp shapes blooming on the flower plant, and the petals were extremely pale and weird.

"The flower that Madame asked is called the ghost orchid, and some people call it the ghost orchid, which is the most precious one of the flowers and plants in my stall, and it is absolutely unique. I have seen two times in half my life, Mrs. can see this flower at a glance in so many flowers, I must like it, Mrs. if you buy it back to cultivate appreciation, you can also eliminate boredom in your spare time, how about it? ”

The flower dealer was explaining the ghost orchid to Qi Ying, and the volume was deliberately raised enough for the onlookers to hear clearly, especially emphasizing the preciousness of the ghost orchid, attracting everyone to crowd over to watch.

Rare things are precious, people have always flocked to rare and precious things, and some people in the noisy crowd have begun to ask about the price of ghost orchids, and the flower seller pretended to have a deep meaning and did not answer directly, but turned his head to ask Qi Ying, "What do you think, Madame?" If Madame wants to buy it, this ghost orchid is Madame's ......."

The flower seller smiled flatteringly, his shrewd eyes did not forget to secretly look at Chu Yanxu next to Qi Ying, he sold flowers and plants in the market for half his life, with the daily face of pedestrians and customers coming and going, the ability to watch people put down dishes has long been perfected, looking at the dress of the couple in front of him, although it is not luxurious and dazzling, even if the man has been silent, he is handsome, serious and gentle, and his demeanor exudes a nobility that cannot be ignored; And the woman is even more good-looking, although her demeanor is lively and active, but she is elegant, which is not comparable to ordinary rouge vulgar powder. Seeing that the crowd in this large circle was willing to spend a lot of money to buy this ghost orchid, he saw the couple.

Qi Ying, who had high hopes from the flower sellers, did not answer, but looked at the ghost orchid carefully, "Boss, this ghost orchid grows in a dark and damp place?" ”

"What Mrs. said is right, the ghost orchid is a leafless epiphytic flower plant, and it likes to grow in woodlands and swamps, dark and damp places, I didn't expect that Mrs. You understand ghost orchids! ......”

The boss laughed, I have never seen the ghost orchid, and I don't know its origin. I just watched this ghost orchid grow on the dead bark, I think it's really novel, and the bark is so moist and seeping, it must be the boss you water from time to time, the ghost orchid petals are delicate and pale, and the boss you specially put it in a cool place, so I guessed that this ghost orchid doesn't like hot light. ”

The flower seller listened to Qi Ying's analysis, and his dark face suddenly showed a look of amazement, "I really can't escape Madame's discernment for anything!" Admire, admire ......"

"Master, how do you know that the ghost orchid was specially placed in a shady place by the boss? I saw so many flowers placed next to each other in a circle, and I didn't seem to see that the boss had placed them there, right? ”

Qi Ying saw that Xiao Luan was still at a loss, so he had to lower his voice and explain to him: "Didn't you hear the boss just now emphasize that this pot of ghost orchids is the most precious of these flowers and plants?" Since it is the most precious, it should be placed in the most conspicuous and safe place, such as the pot of phalaenopsis in the middle, but the boss just placed it in this shady corner, and the soil around the ceramic vase is still wet, isn't it just to place a cool and humid environment for the ghost orchid? ”

Xiao Luan suddenly realized, "You are still smart, master.....

Seeing that Qi Ying and Xiao Luan had underestimated for a long time, the flower seller smiled and asked, "Madame, but you want to buy a ghost orchid?" The small one for you to pack? ”

"It's not busy, the ghost orchid is delicate, I'm afraid I can't support it, and I have trampled on such a precious and rare thing in vain, so it's better to let people who are good at cultivating flowers and plants buy it and cultivate it well." I'll take a look at the other flowers and plants......"

Hearing Qi Ying's words, the boss couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but the freedom of trading could not be forced, so he had to force a smile and said: "It's okay, it's okay, madam, you can look at it casually, there are Bingjiao from Xuan Jin Kingdom, Crystal Orchid from Fujian, and Qi Yan from Beiyuan, all of which are precious and rare ......."

"I'm going to have that pot of Bingjiao"

"Okay, Madame, do you want anything else?"

"That's it, please pour out some water and wipe the porcelain plate clean......."

After paying the silver, Qi Ying held this pot of Bingjiao seedlings, looked at Chu Yanxu, Xiao Nan, and Xiao Luan one by one, and saw that the three of them were silent, thought about it and moved to Xiao Luan, and handed the potted plant over, "Apprentice, I'm sorry for you......"

Xiao Luan struggled for a while before taking the potted plant with a sad face, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Chu Yanxu and Xiao Nan next to him and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, isn't it nice to go shopping with a potted plant?"

"I'm tired of you, why don't you ask someone to help you?"

Before Qi Ying finished speaking, Chu Yanxu and Xiao Nan had already stiffened and flashed a few meters away, and she sighed leisurely, "Apprentice, you are still good to me, those people, Master, I can't count on it, alas....."

These roundabout words made the corners of Chu Yanxu's mouth, which was a few meters away, twitch, even so, he still chose to pretend that he didn't hear it, he didn't want to go shopping with a potted plant in his arms.
