Chapter Twenty-Eight: Shopping for Clothes in a Small Town

If you enter the center of the town from outside the town, it will take more than half an hour to walk, to say the least, and Poplar is afraid that Xiaoyu will encounter danger, so he directly chooses an alley near a ready-to-wear store and shuttles through.

Poplar looked at his outfit and shook his head helplessly.

Although he wanted to change into a costume of this world, he didn't have this kind of costume on his body now.

"Whatever, if you're treated as a monster, you'll be treated as a monster, and you won't stay on this planet for long anyway." If it hadn't been for the accident in Ju'an City, he would have been able to return to Earth in two days.

However, he had been wearing the same clothes for the past two days, and the clothes were stained with the blood of the night wolf, although they had now coagulated, but they made Poplar feel very uncomfortable.

He longed to return to Earth and take a hot bath, but at the thought of the light rain that was still waiting for him to return from the ruined temple, he could only let go of this thought and walked quickly towards the outside of the alley.

The floor of the alley is paved with pebbles, and it is a bit hard to walk on it, but after walking out of the alley, stepping on the smooth bluestone road of the town makes him feel a lot more comfortable.

There are actually no ready-to-wear stores in the town, only a small cloth store, but Poplar had seen a lot of molded clothes in the backyard of this small cloth store, which made him mistakenly think it was a ready-to-wear store.

The cloth shop is not large, there is only one shop, and the cabinet against the wall of the shop is full of all kinds of colorful cloth, and the shopkeeper is a thin middle-aged man.

Two plump middle-aged women were standing in front of the counter with baskets and bargaining with the shopkeeper, as if the other party was bargaining too hard, and the shopkeeper kept shaking his head.

In the end, because the price was not negotiated, the two middle-aged women scolded and walked outside.

Seeing Poplar walking in from outside the store, the shopkeeper couldn't help but be stunned, because Poplar's dress was too weird, and his short hair looked very unusual.

However, he quickly regained his expression, and asked in a cold tone, "Does the little brother buy cloth or make it to order?" ”

Originally, Bai Yang still thought that the service attitude of the businessmen in this world was not bad, but he didn't want to find that when he heard the question of the shopkeeper in front of him, he found that it was the same everywhere, and the service attitude was good and bad.

However, if you think about it, you can understand that Ju'an City is a big city after all, and the competition between merchants in it is fierce, and there is only one ready-to-wear store in this town, which is a monopoly industry, and it is strange that the service attitude can be good.

"Buy clothes." Poplar didn't bother to talk nonsense with the other party, and said directly.

"It's making clothes, right?" The shopkeeper frowned and confirmed.

"Don't you have ready-made clothes here?" Poplar asked in surprise.

"I'm sorry, those are made by others, if you want to make it customized, choose a piece of cloth and pay a deposit, and you can come and withdraw it after three days." The shopkeeper explained with a cold face.

"Three days? It's been too long, can you get it on the same day, I can add money. Poplar asked, shaking his head.

"No, it will be the next day at the earliest, but the production cost will be doubled." The shopkeeper shook his head and said.

Poplar thought for a moment and asked, "How much does it cost to make a lady's coat from this cloth?" He asked, pointing to a piece of purple cloth.

"Women's coats?" The shopkeeper asked, puzzled.

"It's the clothes and pants that girls wear outside." Poplar explained awkwardly.

"If someone brings it over and wants to make a dress, I need to know at least her height and size." The shopkeeper asked.

Poplar gestured with his hand at the position of his neck, and said, "I didn't bring it, but it's almost so tall, and my body is relatively small, uh, it's about the same as you." ”

"Ahem, little brother, don't joke, if it's convenient, it's best to bring someone, the clothes made that way will be more close-fitting." The shopkeeper coughed lightly and persuaded him.

"The shopkeeper is fine, even if it is a little bigger, it is not too much of a problem." Poplar really has no choice, if you can bring the light rain out, then there is no need to be so troublesome.

The shopkeeper thought about it, nodded, and said, "Okay, since the little brother said so, then I will make a coat for the little brother according to the size of my inner brother." ”

Although he hadn't seen what the other party's insider looked like, Bai Yang still nodded and asked, "How much does it cost?" ”

"The cloth needs sixty-five copper coins, the production fee needs fifteen copper coins, and the little brother needs to pay a deposit of eighty copper coins in total." The shopkeeper quickly quotes a price.

Eighty copper coins are only eight iron coins, not even one or two pieces of silver, which makes Bai Yang a little surprised that it is so cheap to make a set of clothes.

Then he took out two silver tickets from his arms and put them on the table, and in the puzzled eyes of the other party, he said: "I am willing to pay two taels of silver tickets to buy a ready-made dress." ”

"This." The shopkeeper had a hesitant expression on his face.

At this moment, the black curtain behind the counter was lifted, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman walked out after the curtain.

The middle-aged woman is about the same height as Xiaoyu, but slightly plumper than Xiaoyu, no wonder the shopkeeper would say that he would make a coat according to the size of his insider.

"Husband, didn't you just make me a set of clothes and pants yesterday, since the little brother is so anxious, I can give that set of clothes and pants to the little brother first." Said the middle-aged woman.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but be anxious, and couldn't help but say: "This can't be done, that's the clothes I made for you, how can you give them to others?" ”

Hearing the middle-aged woman's words, Bai Yang's eyes couldn't help but light up, he ignored the shopkeeper's words, and asked the middle-aged woman directly: "I wonder if I can take a look at that set of clothes and pants first?" ”

"Okay, please wait a minute, little brother, I'll go to the back room to get it." After speaking, the middle-aged woman turned around and walked into the back room.

The shopkeeper tried to say something, but eventually kept his mouth shut.

Not long after, the middle-aged woman walked out of the back room with a set of clothes and pants in her hand.

The clothes were pure white with some peculiar patterns embroidered on them, and the pants were purple.

"Little brother, I wonder if this suit is okay?" The middle-aged woman asked with some apprehension, the reason why she was willing to take out her clothes was naturally because the other party could take out two taels of silver tickets.

"Yes, I want this suit." Poplar nodded and said.

"No, little brother, I can't sell you this dress, it's a big deal I'll give you a job today, and you can come back to pick it up in the afternoon." The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped.

Bai Yang was naturally unwilling to wait so long, and finally someone was willing to sell him ready-made clothes, how could he retreat, he hurriedly took out three taels of silver tickets from his arms again and put them on the table, and asked with a dissatisfied face: "It's okay now, right?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at the five taels of silver tickets on the table, his eyes were almost straight, he didn't expect the other party to be so generous for a set of clothes.

Although this suit was more meaningful to him, he had spent nearly three days sewing it for his wife with the best fabric in the store, but compared to five taels of silver, what was there to be reluctant about.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was embarrassed and didn't speak, Bai Yang directly thanked the middle-aged woman, picked up his clothes and walked outside.

After Bai Yang left, the middle-aged woman excitedly picked up the five taels of silver tickets and said to her husband: "Husband, I didn't expect this little brother to be a high roller, and these five taels of silver tickets are almost half a month's income from our shop." ”

After Bai Yang left the small cloth shop, he entered the alley again, and when there was no one around, his thoughts disappeared in an instant.

Xiaoyu hugged Xiaobai and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, although there was no one around, but any little wind and grass would make her feel nervous.

The golden bow and arrows that were originally placed by Poplar's side have been put into the quilt by her.

She looked around nervously, constantly hoping that Childe would come back soon.

But she waited, waited, waited, waited, and felt that the time was almost over for a whole day, and she still didn't wait for the figure of Childe.

"Childe won't want me, will he?" Xiaoyu couldn't help but think worriedly.

"Xiaobai, what should I do if my son doesn't want us?" Xiaoyu muttered pitifully to the little white wolf in her arms.

The little white wolf still didn't open his eyes, and Xiaoyu didn't know how long the little white wolf would have to wait to open his eyes, only to see the little white wolf's fat head arched in Xiaoyu's arms, as if answering the question she had just asked.

"Childe, don't you really want a light rain?" Xiaoyu was a little remorseful at the moment, why did she promise her son before and let the other party go.

She bit her lip, not knowing what to do, and one hand hiding under the covers tugged at the bow of the golden bow tightly, as if this was the only way to make her feel a little safe.

Just when she felt dazed and helpless, she suddenly found herself in front of her, and a figure blocked the direct sunlight.

She almost subconsciously planned to take out her golden bow and shoot an arrow, but when she saw the figure of the person who came, she immediately cried with joy.

"Childe!" Xiaoyu instantly stood up from the quilt, and the whole person threw herself into Poplar's arms.

"Ugh." Poplar was a little embarrassed, he didn't know where to put his hand, you must know that at this moment, Xiaoyu left the quilt, and the messy red coat on his body was not much different from not wearing it, revealing a large piece of fragrant shoulders and pink back.

"Okay, Xiaoyu, look what I brought you." Bai Yang hurriedly got out of the storage space and said to Xiaoyu who was leaning on his arms.

Xiaoyu was really fooled, and turned her head to look at his right hand.

"Childe, is this the clothes you bought for me?" Xiaoyu asked.

"Well, yes, Xiaoyu hurry up and change your clothes, and I'll take you to a small town later." Bai Yang urged, he had to hurry, Xiaoyu leaned on his arms like this, so that his lower body already had a physiological reaction.

"Oh." Xiaoyu answered, turned around and took the clothes from his hand, and then walked towards the open hall.

But halfway through, Xiaoyu suddenly turned her head again and asked with a red face, "Childe, you, can you come in together?" ”

"Huh?" Poplar was dumbfounded.

"Well, me, I'm a little scared." Xiaoyu's face turned even more embarrassed.

Bai Yang was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "That, this doesn't seem to be convenient, right?" ”

"Childe, I, I don't mind." The light rain said like a mosquito.

Bai Yang didn't hear clearly for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Ah, Xiaoyu, what were you talking about just now?" ”

"No, no, I mean Childe just needs to stay outside the door." Xiaoyu hurriedly explained in a panic.

"Oh, that's it, okay, no problem." Poplar was a little disappointed, he thought he could feast his eyes, but now it seems that it was his wishful thinking.

He followed Xiaoyu up the steps and stood in front of the gate of the temple like a door god, looking at the mountain scenery outside the temple, the willow trees, the pine forests and cypresses, and the sun was just right at the moment.

Xiaoyu quickly changed her clothes and walked out, if Xiaoyu, who was wearing a red wedding dress before, was a delicate rose, then at this moment she was as holy as a snow lotus, and her poplar eyes were almost straight.

Except that his hair looked a little messy and gray because he had not been washed for many days, the whole person was bathed in the sun and looked as holy as an angel.

"Childe, me, is there anything wrong with me?" Xiaoyu saw Bai Yang looking at her dumbfounded, and she asked with some trepidation.
