Chapter 012: Robbery
The more amiable Mr. Shen looked, the more hairy Xu Yuan's back became, thinking that this was a smiling tiger, she suppressed the apprehension in her heart, took out the jade pendant and said, "Oh, this is it." ”
Mr. Shen didn't take it, narrowed his already small eyes and stared at the jade pendant, and didn't say anything more for a long time.
Xu Yuan could almost hear the sound of the retreat drum from her chest, she pretended to leave, put away the jade pendant with her backhand, and said, "Sir, have you seen something?" I can't see it, so I'll leave. ”
Mr. Shen still smiled like Maitreya Buddha, stretched out his hand to stop him: "Hey, little girl, don't worry, jade is really good, but ah, it's not a treasure." ”
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you have any basis for saying that it is not a treasure?" If you can explain the words on the jade, I will believe it. This jade is a hard-won treasure, it must be a treasure! ”
Mr. Shen chuckled and said, "This jade is pure and thick, with few impurities, it is a good jade." But this color is not uncommon in the jade of the country of Pi (Burma). The words on it are also simple, a "Xu" and a sentence of "a safe life" are just ordinary jade pendants to bless children. If the girl wants to sell, I'll give this amount, and if I don't sell it, it's not a big deal. He said that he compared a three, which means three taels of silver.
There were not many people in the pawnshop at this time, and a few of the customers who were wandering in the store came over to see the jade, everyone came to see the excitement, with a playful smile on their faces, only a young man, after glancing at the jade pendant, his brows were deeply locked, and he couldn't help but look at Xu Yuan, as if he hoped that she could take out the jade pendant for a while.
Xu Yuan was surrounded by people at the moment, and she only felt very embarrassed, but fortunately, she got the answer about those few seal characters, and she was able to escape immediately, so she pretended to be dissatisfied with the price and said, "It's just such a little silver, I definitely won't sell it." ”
After that, he pulled Xiaolan out of the crowd without looking back.
The pawnshop's daily bargaining conversation like this can happen many times, and everyone can't see any excitement and the baby disperses again. And the young man also walked out of the pawnshop and quietly followed behind Xu Yuan and the others.
The market was full of people, and the two did not notice that someone was following them.
The answer she just got didn't solve Xu Yuan's doubts, but made her even more headache. Before, she thought that the things written on this jade pendant would be related to the identity of Xu Chusheng or the Xu family, and after knowing it, she would find it and report it. But "peace for life"? A jade pendant for a child? It's completely different from the guess, what's the use of knowing this, and the clue is completely broken.
Xu Yuan sighed and said, "It's a toss." ”
Xiao Lan also looked a little depressed, and comforted: "At least I know what this piece of jade means, although it seems that it is useless to know......"
The two wandered aimlessly down the street, chatting with each other.
Xu Yuan said: "We don't have a place to live, let's find an inn to live in later." ”
Xiao Lan was puzzled: "But we don't have any money to use......"
Xu Yuan lowered his voice and said, "Let's go find a business, and if we exchange the gold leaf, we will have silver." ”
As they said this, the two happened to walk around a somewhat secluded corner. Suddenly, a big man blocked in front of them, looking at them.
Xu Yuan was startled, and her heart would not have been whispered so much just now that the golden leaf was still heard. Xiaolan subconsciously clenched Xu Yuan's hand. Dahan didn't speak, Xu Yuan and Xiaolan lowered their heads, didn't want to cause trouble, and pretended not to see him and wanted to leave.
However, this big man was obviously not passing by, he chased after him and took two steps, raised his hand to stop the two, and said, "Can you show me the jade pendant before?" ”
Yes, it's not the gold leaf, it's the jade pendant that is taken care of.
This is not a dead end, there are people coming and going not far away, but the road to the place where there are people has been blocked by this big man. Xu Yuan pondered whether he could run, and said loudly: "Zhuangman, what are you doing here?" What can we two little girls have anything of value, this is the town, and there is the government not far ahead. ”
The big man seemed to be stunned, and after raising his hand for a long time, he said helplessly: "I'm not robbing...... I really want to take a look at the jade pendant you just now, just a look. ”
This figure, appearing at this time and place, is not a robbery, Xu Yuan looked at the man in front of him suspiciously. It's just that even if he robs Xu Yuan, he can't do anything, he must give it, she doesn't have the sentiment to protect a piece of jade with her life. So Xu Yuan took out the jade pendant tremblingly and handed it over.
Seeing that the little girl's hand was shaking, the big man said guiltily: "I'm really not a robber......" said and took the jade pendant, raised it and looked at the sun a few times.
Xu Yuan saw that he didn't seem to care about them, so he pulled Xiaolan and was about to run. The big man reacted violently and reached out to grab her.
Xu Yuan and Xiaolan were so frightened that they fell together as soon as they were pulled. The two of them trembled and stepped back with their hands. What should I do, what should I do, the exit to a place where there are people has been blocked by him, and this guy can't beat it at a glance!
Xu Yuan: "Big brother spare your life!" The jade pendant has already been given to you, you raise your noble hand and let us go, we don't have two taels of meat to chop up, and the hands are still pierced! ”
Xiaolan: "Yes, yes, yes......"
Dahan: "......"
The big man tried to pull out a smile that he thought was kind, and whispered, "I'm really not a robber...... It's just the girl's jade pendant, I know. ”
From the perspective of Xu Yuan and Xiaolan squatting on the ground, this smile full of flesh looks really scary. But hearing that his words were sincere, and there was no further robbery, Xu Yuan felt a little calmer, and asked cautiously: "Then why did you stop us?" Is it just to see this jade pendant? ”
Dahan shook his head and said, "Not only, I also want to ask the girl, where did this jade pendant come from?" ”
Xu Yuan was thinking about how to answer, and at the same time wanted to get up, Xiaolan moved faster than her, so Xu Yuan took her hand and slowly stood up.
Xu Yuan saw that this big brother really didn't seem to be a robber, so he had a little courage and asked, "Why are we telling you, what if you have a bad plan?" ”
Dahan looked at Xu Yuan very sincerely, and he didn't know what he wanted to say: "I...... That ......" didn't say a reason for a long time.
Xiaolan interjected: "Since I don't know what I'm going to do, let's go......"
Seeing that these two little girls were really leaving, Dahan was in a hurry, and he was a good young man who was sincere and down-to-earth, and he was embarrassed to keep pestering other girls here. ”
Xu Yuan and Xiaolan: "......"
