Chapter 15: Buying and Returning the Pearl

Looking back, it was none other than the girl who asked me outside the door just now. She stepped into the coffin shop, the metal pieces around her waist clashing and making a pleasant sound.

The little leopard immediately turned back, jumped off the coffin, and followed the girl.

At this time, if you look closely, the little leopard's hair is like silk, revealing a metallic luster, which is gorgeous and dazzling.

Unexpectedly, such a beautiful little leopard was actually raised by her.

"Dare to ask, do you know where Aconitum Village is?" The girl asked me suddenly.

I was stunned by her question, this girl is dressed very differently, how can she talk like an ancient......

Without waiting for me to answer, the shopkeeper who was shrunk behind the counter poked his head out and hurriedly said, "That's right, this young man's name is Ding Xiaoxi, and he is from Wutou Village." ”

Then the shopkeeper remembered what was going on, and said, "Since it was introduced by the blind man, I will give you a preferential price, three thousand five, not a single cent." ”

"I'll go!" I scolded in my heart, thinking that the blind man could have a lot of face, it turned out to be worth 500 yuan, and even if I didn't mention him, I would pay back the 500 yuan.

"Uncle, let's have less, three thousand yuan is good." It's better to rely on people than on yourself, and I began to bargain with the shopkeeper.

Generally speaking, you can't bargain too much about things that do red and white things, and this coffin of 3,000 and a half is also very fair, but I'm only 3,000 yuan, and I can't bargain without bargaining......

"You young man, how can you buy longevity and bargain like this?" The shopkeeper was unhappy, "The family is old, of course we must bury it as soon as possible, uncle, I didn't make any money from you; Besides, my longevity material, Seiko is made, the material is of high quality, it is comfortable to sleep, and it has been stable for a hundred years! ”

The two of us began to fight, our faces were red, and many people gradually surrounded us, pointing fingers and pointing, and almost scolded me. My face was red, but I had no choice but to hold on.

Fighting and fighting, the shopkeeper's eyes widened and he couldn't believe the coffin.

I saw the girl who had just asked sat in the coffin and muttered, "Is this coffin really that good?" I lie down and see if it's comfortable......"

According to tradition, a coffin can only sleep one person, and no one would have imagined that this foreign little girl would not talk about taboos at all and would go to sleep in someone's coffin.

"Don't!" The shopkeeper's strange screams stopped, once someone else slept with it, even if it was dealt with afterwards, it would not be able to sell at a high price.

However, it was too late, and at the moment when the shopkeeper shouted, the girl leaned back and lay in the cypress coffin.

The originally noisy coffin shop was dead silent, and everyone was dumbfounded, no one had ever seen such a scene, and they were all at a loss.

"It's not comfortable at all." The girl suddenly jumped out of the coffin, ran away with the little leopard, and complained all the way: "It's cold and ugly, boss, you lie!" ”

Taking advantage of the unpreparedness, the girl ran through the crowd like this.

"This ......" the shopkeeper pointed to the direction where the people had disappeared, to me, and to the coffin, and was speechless.

I already had the bottom in my heart, and I pretended to sigh: "Alas...... It seems that I can only go to the carpenter Fang to fight now......"

Although there is only one coffin shop, there are many local carpenters, and there are also many square carpenters who specialize in tables, chairs, benches and longevity materials. It will only be delayed for a day or two.

Seeing that I was leaving, the shopkeeper of the coffin shop was in a hurry, grabbed me, and said repeatedly: "It doesn't matter, I'll just sweep it with a willow branch, and you can still sleep peacefully, no difference." ”

The willow branch can be used to remove bad luck, and it can indeed be used if it is swept away, but in that case, it is not a new coffin.

"Three thousand, just three thousand!" I don't need to speak, the shopkeeper took the initiative to reduce the price.

I didn't have any of these taboos, but I still pretended to be reluctant, and I nodded after some embarrassment.

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered someone to break willow branches outside and sweep the coffin, and kept laughing, and now he begged me to buy it.

After sweeping, a few people in the shop joined hands and carried the coffin onto the cart, and to see that it was not early, I paid the money and hurried on the road.

After such a delay, it was dark.

Out of the northwest of Cangshan Town, there is a small road leading to Wutou Village, there is no one, and both sides are covered with dense shrubs.

I whipped the donkey, and was about to hurry home, but as soon as I got faster, a yellow shadow jumped out of the bushes on the left, blocking the way ahead, and it was the little leopard.

Although small, it was a beast in the end, and the donkey was frightened, and he stopped in a hurry, and kept stepping back on his hooves, and neighed uneasily.

I stood up and looked around, but there was no one in sight, so I simply shouted, "Girl, your little leopard is lost!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a lazy voice came from behind him, "No, I'm here, let's get on your way." ”

Looking back, I was startled, only to see the girl sitting on the coffin, dangling one leg, graceful.

"You come down!" I shouted: "This is my mother's longevity!" ”

As soon as she finished shouting, the girl jumped down lightly and skillfully, and sat down beside me without making a sound, her eyes looking straight ahead, and said disdainfully: "There are so many stinky rules, so it's always okay, right?" Hurry up and take me for a ride. ”

The little leopard jumped up like lightning and curled up in her arms.

Looking at the posture, she is going to Aconitum Village, where she is waiting for me to hitchhike. She helped me just now, and it was getting dark again, so naturally I couldn't catch her up, so I dragged her on the road.

It was dark and the road was not easy to walk, and it would take two hours to get to twenty miles, so I simply chatted with her.

"Hey, which family are you a relative of?" I grew up in Aconitum Village, and I have never seen her, so I can't help but ask curiously.

The girl didn't seem to be very easy to talk to, kept looking ahead, and replied casually: "It's none of your business." ”

Well, the hot face stuck to someone's cold buttocks, and I pinched my nose and continued to catch the car.

This area is wild, black holes, and flashlights can only shine a few meters away, so I have to be more careful.

An hour and a half passed, and the moon rose and shed a cold light, and I was relieved that I could finally see the Tao. The lazy donkey also let go at this time, and trotted with joy, like an arrow.

At the end of the plain, you can already see the aconitum gang, and under the moonlight, it looks like a huge turtle lying on the ground.

"Is it Aconitum Village in front?" The girl, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"yes." I threw a whip and replied: "Within a radius of ten miles, there is only one village, and seeing Wutou Gang is equivalent to seeing Wutou Village." ”

As soon as the words ended, the donkey, which had been running happily, let out a neighing and slowly stopped.

"What's going on? Why stop? Let's go! I crackled the whip and urged the donkey to go away, but the animal did not listen, but kept holding its rope back.

After all, it's someone else's donkey, I'm just scaring and scarering, it doesn't go, and I can't really smoke it.

Seeing that I couldn't do it, I had to jump down, grab the donkey's chew, and drag it forward with all my might. It's not a matter of being frozen all the time in the middle of the night, and the blind man is still waiting for me at home.

Who would have thought that this donkey was really a donkey's temper, and no matter how hard I tried, it would not go, and kept making strange noises.

"Don't pull it." A girl's voice came from the frame, "It's afraid that it will see something, so it doesn't dare to move forward." ”

She reminded me that legend has it that animals have much sharper senses than people, especially at night.

In order to avoid getting dark, I simply turned off the flashlight and looked around in the moonlight.

On the Great Plains, there are weeds and shrubs that are half a man tall, and the road is smooth, and you can see far away even at night. A gust of wind blew, and the grass beach was undulating and rustling, as if there were many things hidden.

I shuddered, pulled out the sickle on my waist, vigilant, and said in my heart, could it be the wolves in the Qinling Mountains coming down?

This kind of thing has happened in previous years, and if they can't find food in the Qinling Mountains, these wild beasts will take advantage of the darkness to touch the plains, prey on livestock and even living people, and then go back before dark.

In the middle of nowhere, a donkey cart and two people are perfect targets for wolves.

"You take this for self-defense." The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and I threw the scythe at the girl in the car, ready to use the whip myself. She is a delicate little girl, no better than me, a big man, and it is better to give her a sharp blade.

Unexpectedly, she didn't look at it, and with a wave of her hand, how did the sickle go and fly back.

I grabbed the scythe and was about to ask, when there was a "swish" sound in the grass beside me. I was startled, and when I turned my head to look, I saw that the weeds had been taken out of a line and swayed violently.

Sure enough, there was something! I was shocked and quickly backed away, my back against the board. No matter who this girl is, since I brought her here, I must protect her safety.

With a tightening of her shoulders, the girl stood up on the board, looked at the grass with a frown, and held me down with one hand, as if she had found something.

The next moment, all the grass around them moved, and there was not much hidden inside.

"Oops"! I'm horrified, it seems that there are really wolves, and there are quite a few of them!

The next moment, the grass on the side of the road parted, and a black mass popped out. After seeing what it was, my scalp exploded, and it wasn't a wolf at all, but an even more vicious water monkey!

This thing looks like a monkey but not a monkey, covered in dirty and tangled bristles, slowly approaching on all fours, tilting its head, and staring at us with a pair of gray-white dead fish eyes.

Next, one by one, water monkeys crawled out of the grass, and in the blink of an eye, we were surrounded.

These evil beasts are silent, gloomy and cold, as if they have crawled out of hell and want to choose people to devour.

"I'm just afraid I'm going to confess tonight...... "I was desperate in my heart, there were too many, and as soon as I swarmed up, I didn't have the strength to fight back at all, and I would be torn alive in an instant."

It doesn't matter if I die, there is a big girl like a flower behind me, thinking that she will also suffer, my blood immediately surged, and I whispered: "I lead away these water monkeys, you drive the donkey cart and run fast, remember that the first house at the entrance of the village is my house." ”

As soon as the words fell, the girl behind her shouted "yes", and then only heard the donkey neighing frantically, and suddenly rushed out.

This lazy donkey seems to have been beaten with chicken blood, and it broke out at an unimaginable high speed, which is comparable to that of a fierce horse! Before I could react, it had already pulled the car and ran out, smashed into the encirclement of the water monkeys, and disappeared.
