The owner of the hall couldn't look at it, and scolded: "Yue'er, just take a sip, want to be angry with your mother?" You've been out for nearly two years, causing us to be scared day and night, and you're still not going to let us live in peace when you come back? ”

Xue Yue'er cried: "If Brother Hao doesn't recover, I won't be able to eat!" ”

Old man Hu sighed: "That's really the case! The fat man thought that you were just witnessing the process of the battle, but he didn't expect to touch the fairy in person! A fairy is a fairy in the end, and the magic weapon elixir doesn't have to be hidden on the body! This kid meets a fairy, and great joy is followed by great sorrow, no wonder this stubborn boy can't stand it! If you want to get his faith back, it's just locked up here, it's not a way, you have to let him go out and walk! ”

Xue Yue'er seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and urged with a little joy: "Grandpa Hu, you save Brother Hao!" ”

Old man Hu smiled: "If you want the fat man to save people, you can drink this bowl of chicken soup first, drink less, and the fat man will turn around and leave!" ”

"But Brother Hao doesn't eat, how can I have the heart to drink?"

Xue Yue'er looked at Li Hao, who was unconscious in her arms, and shook her head.

Old man Hu got up and said: "That fat man goes back and is happy, he is too lazy to care about the affairs of the two of you, you can figure out your own way, see if you starve to death first, or this kid will starve to death first!" ”

Xue Yue'er panicked and hurriedly said, "Grandpa Hu, don't go, he is your apprentice, if you don't help him, who can help him?" ”

Old man Hu shook his head and said, "The fat man can't help this, only you can help him!" And if you starve to death, Li Hao will definitely starve to death! Therefore, you must live well and live happily, only in this way can you save the soul of this kid. ”

Xue Yue'er said suspiciously: "Only I can help Brother Hao?" But as soon as he woke up, he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to be Sister Fairy's, and when the people outside heard it, where did we still live? I can't go out! ”

Old man Hu said with a smile: "Take him to the far-reaching, secluded, inaccessible mountains and forests, it's fine!" If you are willing to drink soup and eat normally, the fat man will take you out and come back to his senses for this kid together, otherwise, the fat man will just go outside to drink and be happy, and he will not be too lazy to worry about this anymore. ”

Xue Yue'er hurriedly picked up the soup bowl and said, "I'll drink it, Grandpa Hu, you must help me!" ”

In just one breath, Xue Yue'er drank a bowl of chicken soup to the bottom.

The owner's wife was overjoyed, and hurriedly brought another bowl of chicken soup to persuade her to drink it, Xue Yue'er shook her head and said, "I'm full, I can't drink it!" This bowl has to be reserved for Brother Hao to drink! ”

Thinking of this, Xue Yue'er woke up Li Hao, took the soup, and slowly fed a spoonful of chicken soup to his mouth, Li Hao's slightly chapped lips opened, and he drank the soup half-awake and half-asleep.

The hall owner's wife burst into tears and persuaded her: "Yue'er, I'll help you feed it, can you drink it yourself?" ”

Xue Yue'er's face was slightly happy, and she shook her head and said, "No, I want to feed it myself!" ”

The owner and his wife watched from the side with moist eyes, looking at Xue Yue'er like a real loving mother feeding her children, and like a gentle and virtuous wife feeding her seriously ill husband. Over the years, I seem to have grown up, honed a lot of maturity, and become considerate.

In the small secret room, there was only a little bit of joy, and the rest was all sorrow and sadness, feeling too depressed, Old Man Hu shook his head and said: "Little doll, where did you get this other more than 300,000 taels of silver?" ”

Xue Yue'er fed Li Hao soup, he was willing to drink it, and he was overjoyed, and immediately replied: "Princess Wenyue bought our fifteen cold water pearls of silver!" ”

The hall owner was surprised and said, "Fifteen pearls are worth 300,000 taels of silver? ”

Xue Yue'er replied with a more happy face: "Brother Hao doesn't want to sell it yet!" He wanted to exchange a gemstone bracelet worth a million taels for the princess's pearls, in exchange for me, the princess was unwilling, forced by their power, Brother Hao deliberately gambled to lose to the princess, so that she won at such a cheap price! ”

Old man Hu smiled and picked up Li Hao's gemstone bracelet, and said in a circle: "This bracelet is worth a million taels of silver?" ”

Xue Yue'er glanced at it and said, "That's it!" ”

The owner and his wife opened their mouths in shock, and they were petrified into clay sculptures. Their real estate, shops, and land, as well as these treasures, etc., were all sold, and there were not enough to make up 20,000 taels of silver, and the string of bracelets they wore on their hands was worth more than 50 such amounts!

Old man Hu shook his head and smiled: "Such a precious thing is indeed rare, I have seen a lot of fat people who are worse than this!" How did you get it? ”

Xue Yue'er said with interest: "These two strings of cold water pearls and the fifteen thumb-sized cold water pearls, as well as the superb cat's eye green rough stones of these two bracelets, can be compared with the other two strings of high-grade rough stones, and the price is twenty-five taels, which was obtained from a gem supplier on the continent over there." ”

The owner and his wife were dumbfounded, this treasure worth nearly three million taels was easily exchanged for only twenty-five taels, is this the big boss stupid or what's going on?

Of course, they don't know that the price of rough is quite cheap, but it has to be processed by top masters, with extremely high skills, and then sold by famous stores, and the profit has to be doubled.

One of these links can not achieve such an effect.

As for the cold water pearls, at that time, a whole string of pearls could not be made, and the price was naturally pitifully low, which is the difference between finished products and semi-finished products.

Old man Hu smiled: "This kid is really good at business!" In exchange for what? ”

Xue Yue'er said with a smile: "Nearly three hundred catties of high-grade tiger paste wine!" ”

Referring to Li Hao's proud thing, Xue Yue'er suddenly danced with her eyebrows, took out the bottom package from the wooden box, took out two bracelets and said, "These two bracelets are ready to be given to my father, do you like them?" ”

The owner's wife couldn't put it down, and at first glance, it was no different from Li Hao's string, and said with a smile: "I like it!" How much is this string worth? Like your string, it's worth 1.8 million taels? ”

Xue Yue'er said embarrassedly: "The Dao of the shopkeeper of the Extreme Treasure Pavilion is only worth 50,000 taels. This superb rough stone was not intended to be given to us by Brother Hao when he saw that the gem merchant was carrying it! If my mother likes it, I'll give you this string! ”

The owner's wife smiled: "No need! This bracelet alone is worth more than our family's industry, and my mother is already satisfied with wearing it! By the way, do you have that snow-white pearl necklace? Such a big one, snow-white and round, weird and good-looking, my mother also wants to put it on a string! ”

Her mother was now excited when she saw the treasure, and began to sweep the treasures brought by Xue Yue'er with a smile.

Xue Yue'er said with some embarrassment: "This is a cold water pearl, which is very rare, and it is difficult to make a whole necklace when it is so big." There is a cold feeling to the touch, and it is not good for ordinary people to wear it, unless it is worn in a hot summer. Mother, if you like it, tomorrow I will ask my father to go to Heiniu Mountain to dig treasures, there should be ordinary pearl necklaces there. ”

……

The owner's wife said: "What a treasure, why do you bury it casually?" What should I do if someone steals it? ”

Xue Yue'er said with a smile: "Father, mother, the 80,000 taels of silver tickets here, and this whole box of gems, were specially sent to you by Brother Hao!" How do I know that my mother likes pearl necklaces, not even precious jade carvings! ”

The owner of the pavilion was stunned and said, "All of them were given to us?" What do I want so much money for, and what do you yourselves? ”

Xue Yue'er shook her head and smiled: "Brother Hao thinks there are too many things, and there is trouble on the road, so I am afraid of recruiting people to chase and kill, so I will collect our family as a treasure house!" Brother Hao said that we should build a manor in the town to take in homeless young children and teach them to read and learn calligraphy, or practice martial arts. You don't have to deliberately look for it, if you encounter it around our town, you can take it in, and if you do it too much, it will attract suspicion! ”

Old man Hu said with a smile: "This kid is nostalgic for his tragic life experience, and wants to borrow the hand of the museum owner to do this good thing!" Owner, you must remember, don't deliberately search for homeless children, just take them in in the town, don't publicize them, otherwise you may be killed! This kid is a thief, and he thinks about this as thoughtful as an adult! ”

The pavilion owner nodded and said, "The tree is very popular, I still know this." ”

Li Hao was half asleep, Xue Yue'er was anxious, but the feeding speed was extremely slow, and a bowl of chicken soup became cold in the blink of an eye. Feed it again, Li Hao will shut up and stop drinking.

Xue Yue'er's excited expression suddenly disappeared, and she said anxiously: "Brother Hao, you should drink more!" I've been hungry for so many days, it's not okay to go on like this! ”

As soon as she said this, the joy in the room vanished, and the sadness returned.

Old man Hu smiled and persuaded: "This matter is not urgent, let's feed it tomorrow." Now that this kid has arrived here safely, don't click on his sleeping hole, it's okay to let him howl more, howl out of that depression, but get better faster, then you must not worry too much, first rush your body. Remember, if you want your brother Hao to be good, raise yourself first, when feeding, don't cry, feed him happily, you know? Okay, you go to sleep first, and the fat man will come back tomorrow. ”

Xue Yue'er's face was slightly relaxed, and suddenly two fingers behind her back came quickly, and she fell unconscious, hugged Li Hao, and fell asleep in the arms of the owner's wife.

The owner's wife exclaimed, "What are you doing?" ”

The owner of the hall said: "Lady, it's okay, it's a sleeping hole, in order to let Yue'er rest for a while, crying for most of the night, let's go back to the room to rest first, right?" ”

There was a sound of rolling in the secret room, and Old Man Hu had already gone out first.

The lady of the hall owner shook her head and said, "I'm not going, I can't sleep tonight, I'm going to stay here with Yue'er." By the way, we have to leave Yue'er behind, we can't let her go anymore! ”

The hall owner looked at Li Hao in Xue Yue'er's arms, sighed and said, "I'm afraid that we can't help it now!" Lady, go out, it's useless to be anxious, don't be in a hurry to break your body, but you can't help Yue'er! ”

The owner's wife still shook her head and said: "Husband, go sleep by yourself, I definitely can't sleep tonight, it's better to stay here and see Yue'er more, I haven't seen it in the past two years, I want to see it for a while, don't run away in a few days and can't see it!" ”

The hall owner sighed and said, "I can't sleep tonight, so I'll stay with you here." ”

The owner's wife shook her head and said, "You have to go back, if Ling'er wakes up and can't see us, she will cry and make a fuss!" ”

The owner of the hall said helplessly: "Alas, Ling'er, this child! Maybe we're too spoiled, and we have to let him out to experience the experience! Look at this kid, he is about the same age as Ling'er, he is skilled in martial arts and resourcefulness, and he is full of experience in the rivers and lakes, and he is even more powerful than us as adults. I always thought that if he could study honestly and do business or something, he would definitely have a great achievement. I just want to chase some ethereal immortal, and make this monstrous disaster! Alas, the things in this world are unsatisfactory, accounting for eight or nine times out of ten! ”

The hall owner's wife shook her head and said: "I'd rather Ling'er do nothing and study in the academy honestly, rather than let him come back with bruises like his sister!" ”

……

The hall owner's wife caressed Xue Yue'er's face lovingly, gently smoothed her brows for her, and looked at her slightly pale face. After a while, she looked at Li Hao next to her kindly, and said to the hall owner: "Husband, take off the child's mask too, and see what it looks like?" ”

The owner looked at Li Hao's slightly swollen face, slightly apologetic, although he felt that he should not have abducted his daughter out to suffer, but he felt that the reason for this must be the rude and willful Xue Yue'er who chased after him relentlessly, and ran away with Li Hao without knowing what was going on. But one thing is for sure, Xue Yue'er must have wanted to go out with him very much, and even threatened Li Hao to take her out.

Gently removed his mask, revealing his thin melon seed face, frowning, small eyes and nose, except for the obvious thinness, nothing special.

The owner's wife said: "This child is really thin, is it the same as when he first went out?" ”

The hall owner tried hard to recall his cunning and scoundrel cleverness, and his every move at the beginning, because of Xue Yue'er's escape, is still vivid and impressive, and nodded and said: "It seems to be as thin as it was at the beginning!" ”

The hall owner's wife was puzzled and said, "They have so much silver on them, why don't they eat a little more to make up for it?" ”

The owner sighed: "Some people are born with hard work, relying on food, and they can't get fat." Perhaps, he is this kind of person! ”

The owner picked up the large pile of silver tickets, counted them slowly, and exclaimed: "This stack, a full 876,300 taels!" ”

The hall owner's wife exclaimed: "That's not nearly 900,000 taels!" With this treasure, there must be three or four million taels? And what they buried on the road, and what they called the capital industry, what is this that is rich and rivals the country! ”

The hall owner sighed bitterly: "I only know that his nickname is 'Li Hao', surnamed Li, I don't know what his name is." With so many silver tickets and jewels, I still suspect that this kid is a stolen thing! Otherwise, it would have come so quickly! ”

The owner's wife said: "The husband doesn't believe in his predecessors, doesn't he still believe in Yue'er?" When she told her about the silver and jewels, her eyebrows fluttering, they were certainly not stolen! ”

The hall owner nodded and said with a wry smile: "That's right!" In this case, we are useless! ”

The owner's wife said: "The husband is useless, chasing his daughter, and he hasn't caught up after chasing for more than half a year, causing her to come back with such a big sin!" ”

The owner of the hall was suddenly embarrassed and speechless, and continued to play with the pile of rare gems, under the light of the night pearl the size of a dragon's eye, the soft light, the treasure was shining, dazzling, and the lady of the hall owner gave up Xue Yue'er, and excitedly played with the pile of colorful gems.

In the end, he took the jewel bracelet in his hand and compared it with Li Hao's string repeatedly under the pearl light to find the difference.

After a slow comparison, I found a slight difference, and the light adjustment of the best bracelet was more vivid and natural.

Compared with the bracelet, the owner's wife continued to take out gems of different colors and put them side by side, enjoying the wonderful feeling of dazzling brilliance.

After looking at it for a long time, the owner of the hall became a little excited, and suddenly touched the cold water pearl necklace in Li Haojin, and sighed: "This thing is really precious, it is used to practice internal skills for people, calm the mind and relax the mind, it is very suitable." The princess of the palace probably coveted the huge and rare pearl, and even more so because of this effect, so she would offer such a high price. ”
