If she expected this to be the result, then she really wouldn't want that set of fortune-telling things. Xin Yi really didn't expect that this group of people would really have a relationship with her, and they had to let her pay for it.

"Oh? Isn't this rich, who just cried out to be poor," said the strong man, grinding her hand with the sole of his shoe.

"Whew!!" Xin Yi was so painful that cold sweat and tears came down together, and he swallowed the moan back into his stomach with only heavy gasps.

Everyone looked at ...... I—I brought twenty taels! Banxia said, taking out two silver ingots from his arms, "Press this first, I'll go and get the remaining eighty taels!" ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here, when will I bring the money, and when will I let your brother go."

Banxia also seemed to see the tears in her eyes, and her eyes darkened, "I...... I have one more condition...... Don't step on my brother, I'm sure...... I'll be back for sure! ”

"Boy, don't go yet! Ask us terms? The strong man looked at Banxia with disdain and said, "If you don't go quickly, you will directly trample on his hands, do you believe it or not?" ”

"I'll go! Here it goes! Banxia's body was so frightened that he trembled, and when he heard this, he hurriedly agreed, respectfully handed over the two silver ingots, and then turned around and ran.

The strong man surnamed Shi took the silver, put it on his teeth and bit it, "Hey, okay, it seems that you know that you can't escape this catastrophe, and there is a backhand?" Brat? As he spoke, he finally lifted his feet, and when Xin Yi withdrew his hand, the back of his hand had already turned over the flesh and blood. You see, your brother is more sensible than you. As he spoke, he was about to kick again. Xin Yi was so frightened that he hurriedly wanted to block it with his arm, but at this time, there was a ridicule: "Look at the bear-like you scared, where is the power of the deception at that time?" Yes? As she spoke, the whole crowd laughed and pointed at her.

After about a cup of tea, some in the crowd were too late and had already dispersed, and some were still waiting to see if the remaining eighty taels of silver could be brought in. The strong man stepped on the bamboo skewers all over the ground, walking back and forth, the bamboo skewers creaked and creaked, and they were about to break. And Xin Yi could only watch, clamping the wrist of his left hand with his right hand to relieve the pain of the wound.

She seems to finally understand why she has to talk a little hard to not be bullied, fighting and fighting, thinking about the little yin tricks, those are all struggles in the palace and the house, and that is with the brain. But now in this market, what is the use of having brains, after all, it can't withstand the fists that are directly smashed.

It was more than a quarter of the time, Banxia came in a hurry, and when he arrived here, he was so tired that his knees were weak, and he knelt directly on the ground, and the package containing silver on his back fell to the ground, making a crisp sound of silver impacting.

"This, here are eighty taels." As he spoke, he unwrapped the package, and there were six silver ingots of ten taels in it, and some pieces of broken silver of all sizes, which were weighed on a scale, and were more than twenty taels. "You can let my brother go this time, right?"

"I really didn't expect your family to be bad, right?" He picked up the bag of silver and checked it again, "Then he turned to Xin Yi and said: "Since I said a hundred taels, the villagers have seen it, and I don't embarrass you, so I'll let you go!" With that, he raised his leg and stepped on her shoulder again, and then everyone left with a smile on their faces.

When Xin Yi saw them leaving, the first thing he did was to struggle to get up, lie on the ground and pick up the bamboo sticks one by one and stuff them into the stickers. The onlookers in the outer circle also began to gradually leave, Xin Yi was afraid that which bamboo stick would be kicked away, so he hurriedly ordered: "Banxia, ...... quickly Come and pick it up for me. ”

"What's the use of picking up these things...... Eldest sister, do you still want to continue doing this! Banxia ran out of breath, stood up at this time, and stomped her feet angrily: "Eldest sister! Don't pick it up! He looked at the wound on the back of Xin Yi's hand, "Watch out for your hands......"

"It's fine." She glanced up at her younger brother, lowered her head and continued to pick up the bamboo sticks, "Even if I don't do this business in the future, then this thing belongs to Uncle Chongxuan, and I have to find a chance to return it to him." ”

"You ......" Banxia couldn't say anything to her, seeing that Xin Yi insisted on doing so, she could only hum helplessly in the end, squatting down to pick it up with her.

When the two of them picked up the bamboo sticks on the ground and were about to leave, the old woman who was selling potatoes next to them stopped her. "Wait, lad."

"Thank you for taking care of your mother-in-law these days...... I wonder if there is anything else? Xin Yi turned her head to look at her mother-in-law, and subconsciously wiped her eyes with the back of her right hand.

The old woman saw that she was about to collect the stall and go back, looked at the silver money in her pocket, picked up two small pieces of broken silver and stuffed them to her, "You take it, although you can still pick up things with this hand, but I was still shaking when I looked at it just now." You take this money, there is a medical hall over there, you go to a doctor and have a look. ”

“…… No, it's good to ask for your money. ”

Xin Yi turned his head to look at Banxia, and when he saw this, he hurriedly agreed: "No, we have brought silver, really." As he spoke, he also took out two small pieces of silver and signaled.

"Then why don't you take your sister to see it...... If this hand is really broken, it will be even worse in the future. When the old woman said this, Xin Yi was startled.

Maybe I just heard Banxia's sentence and leaked my mouth, and maybe I guessed it a long time ago and didn't break it. In the face of such enthusiasm, she was in a dilemma, but she was at a loss, and was stunned for a long time, before she thanked her and let Banxia take it. "I don't know how much it will cost to see a doctor, I borrowed this money, and I will pay it back to you next time."

"I look at you, such a fuss, in this Jizhou City, you are afraid that you can't do this fortune telling, if you still want to do this business, then it's better to move."

Xin Yi said nothing, just pressed his wrist and walked towards the medical hall.

I ate a hundred taels of silver in this accident, and it is estimated that after paying off the debt before, there is not much silver left in the savings, and it is estimated that there are at most ten taels or eight taels left. It costs money to see a doctor, and it costs money to eat and wear, and this time it seems to be starting from scratch again.

But fortunately, the only good news is that the damage to my hands and bones is not serious, and it is just enough to apply medicine to heal the skin injury.

The two sisters and brothers walked on the way home, Banxia helped her hold the lottery holder, and looked at her several times, but Xin Yi didn't speak for a long time.

"Eldest sister......?" Banxia tugged at the hem of her clothes to bring Xin Yi back to her senses. "Eldest sister, is her hand still painful?"

Xin Yi slowly shook his head, "Why didn't you go to school today?" ”

"What else...... Isn't Sister Lan worried about you, or she wouldn't have asked me to follow...... Eldest sister, today, today, I am still with me, or ......" arrived at the door of the house, and Banxia also stopped. Zizhu and Pei Lan saw that Xin Yi's hand was injured, and they also asked with concern for a long time, but she didn't answer for a long time, just sat quietly alone, silent

This night, she was almost as nervous as she was preparing to set up a stall on the first day. Because they don't know what the future will be like and what will happen. Xin Yi poured all the bamboo sticks in the skewer on the table with a bang, wiped off the mud and ash stains on the step one by one with a wet rag, and counted the quantities.

There are a total of 62 hexagrams. But the number of bamboo sticks, no matter how you count them, is only sixty. Xin Yi checked them one by one, and sure enough, he found that there was no eighteenth lot. She opened the book, and it was written that the eighteenth sign was the top.

It seems that I really lost all this luck? Xin Yi smiled bitterly and sat quietly for a while before blowing out the dim oil lamp and climbing into bed.

"Sister, don't think about it, it'll be fine, we still have a lot of silver left, don't worry."

"Hmm." Xin Yi turned over to look at Pei Lan, who was sleeping beside him, and smiled with her, "That makes sense, next time Yong Mingyan comes back, remember to ask him for silver, you're welcome." ”

When Perrin heard her say this, it was as if she had recovered from the blow, and only then could she sleep peacefully.

On the contrary, Xin Yi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep: she lost a counting stick, and after all, she was told not to count anymore...... Or should we go back and look for it?

Although she had the intention of going back to find a sign, but Pei Lan went into the mountain, and Banxia also went to the school first, and left Zizhu alone to her. Only after trying to coax Zizhu to take a nap, did he tiptoe out of the door.

has already given a hundred taels of silver, and Xin Yi guesses that no one will trouble her again today. Changed into men's clothes and stuck a mouth of hair stubble. She decided to try her luck one last time in the city. If she finds the way to settle the lot, the sky is endless, then she may be able to continue this kind of work. If she doesn't find it, then I'm afraid she will really have to change her line.

It's easy to throw things away, but it's a lot more troublesome to find. When Xin Yi entered the city, she felt the cold eyes and guidance that fell on her, but she still insisted on looking around with her head down, hoping to find the trace of the lot. She remembered that the eighteenth lot, if it was a lost item, was—

"Tianyu Li Min has five Lun, and he leaked it in the family

You can understand the meaning of it, so things are still ten successful"

According to the signature, this is a 10% way to find the signature. But she almost walked around the city, and found no trace of anything similar.

Tsk, maybe someone has already thrown it away as firewood and burned it?

Xin Yi was thinking of this, and when he was about to give up, he repeatedly read the signature, and he had a flash of inspiration - "Family? "It's impossible to leave it at home, does it mean that the lottery is still in the position of the hexagram stall? She said that she was tired from walking, so she simply turned back to the original path, rummaged through her previous hexagram stall for a while and did not find it, and finally sat down in front of the stall and rested for a while.

The old woman selling potatoes next to her had already closed the stall and gone back, and Xin Yi was the only one around, with her elbows on her knees, basking in the sun in a daze.

Suddenly, footsteps came closer and closer, as if they were coming towards her. But before the footsteps came, he was the first to speak: "It seems that I came unfortunately? It seems that the gentleman is not in the stall today...... But who should I go to for this signature? ”

Xin Yi was stunned for a moment, looked up, but saw the handsome boy standing in the twilight, and a calculation stick in his hand had been handed to her.

The handwriting on the counting sign is clearly visible - 'the eighteenth signature'.

"What's wrong? It's not the first time I've met my husband, why are you so surprised? The slight smile on the corner of his mouth was as elegant as a glimmer.

Mu Fangjin...... Why are you here...... Why, ...... at this time?
