Chapter 20: Don't be willful in the future
"Forget it, if it's so cheap, then we won't sell it, take it home and make it ourselves, it's just that my mother's body is not bad, isn't it? It must be good to drink this snake gall wine. Liu Man'er said to Ye Yuan.
"Really? Then you have to think clearly. The shopkeeper who collected the snake glanced at Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan up and down, maybe in his heart, the two of them didn't even have the money to buy wine.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Liu Man'er didn't argue with him more, but walked forward with the basket.
After Ye Yuan saw it, he also followed behind Liu Man'er.
"Hey, you two wait a minute, buying and selling is not benevolent, isn't this business to be discussed, the price is not suitable, you can discuss it again."
The shopkeeper saw that these two people were really determined to leave, so he stayed in the back again.
"Forget it, we want to pay two taels, are you willing to give it to the shopkeeper?" Liu Man'er turned her head and asked.
"Then you'd better go somewhere else." When the shopkeeper heard Liu Man'er's words, his face sank again, and he waved his hand to let the two of them leave quickly, as if Liu Man'er and the two had no intention of doing business.
After leaving here, Liu Man'er and Ye Yuan looked at each other, and finally Ye Yuan took the back basket in Liu Man'er's hand and said, "Man'er, we really don't sell this snake?" ”
"Of course it's going to be sold." Liu Man'er said with a smile, "Even if I want to give this snake to my mother to drink, but I can't find such a big vat?" Even if I found such a large vat, I wouldn't have found so much wine. ”
"Didn't that shopkeeper just see through our embarrassment, so he's sure we'll come back next time?"
Regarding Liu Man'er's analysis, Ye Yuan was silent, she was right, her family was indeed too poor.
"But it's okay, if we sell the snake, won't we have money?" Liu Man'er said with a smile, "They don't want it, let's go to the county, we won't sell it for two taels of silver at that time, such a big snake, at least for decades, this is a mountain spirit, at least a hundred taels will be sold." ”
Hearing Liu Man'er's happy face, Ye Yuan couldn't help but smile, "You're thinking too much." ”
"yes, but at least it's better than being in town, isn't it? In the county, how to say, there are more rich people. Liu Man'er said, "Anyway, when the time comes, our selling price will definitely not be less than two taels." ”
"Hmm." Ye Yuan also nodded.
But he never thought that he had entered Liu Man'er's trap, how could he ever say that he was going to the county?
But seeing her excited face, what if you take her to the county?
It's just that......
"Man'er, the county is twenty miles away from this town, have you walked so many roads?" Ye Yuan proposed, "Why don't you go home first, I'll go alone." ”
"No, I'm going to the county, or you'll call me a carriage?"
As soon as she said this, Liu Man'er subconsciously closed her mouth, this Ye family is poor like this, where can I have the money to call a car.
"Forget it, I'll walk, I can do it." Liu Man'er hurriedly said again, and exercised at that time.
But in fact, she works every day and exercises every day, and now she is only fifteen years old, and she has more strength than those men in her previous life.
"I've wronged you." Ye Yuan stretched out his other hand, rubbed Liu Man'er's head, and said, "When I sell this snake, I will hire a carriage to come back." ”
"Forget it." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "Be low-key, if we really sell it for a good price, let's come back by ox cart, the ox cart is also good." ”
"Good!" Ye Yuan agreed.
The two of them walked to the county.
Fortunately, this body is sturdy, but after walking for more than half an hour, seeing the distant destination, Liu Man'er still has a trace of frustration in her heart.
"How far is it?" She couldn't help but ask.
"What, this can't go?" Ye Yuan's tone had a hint of banter and mockery.
Liu Man'er sighed, but admitted it, "Yes, I can't walk." ”
"What then?" Ye Yuan said seriously, "Otherwise, I'll leave you here halfway?" I'll pick you up when I get back? ”
Hearing this, Liu Man'er looked around, this road is an official road, and it can accommodate two small carriages walking side by side, but the problem is that at the moment, no one has seen it on this road.
In the wilderness, although it was noon, Liu Man'er inexplicably felt a chill oozing from her back.
"If you leave me here, what if I'm taken by a tiger?" Liu Man'er said angrily, "Then where are you going to spend five cents to buy a daughter-in-law like me?" ”
"That's what you said, then you can hide it, there's a stone there, you sit on that stone, and the tiger can't run up."
"And what if I'm captured by the bad guys?" Liu Man'er said again.
"Don't worry, where do the bad guys dare to arrest you, you look even more terrifying than the bad guys." Although Ye Yuan said this, he didn't mean this in his heart, he just wanted to tease Liu Man'er.
But who knew that Liu Man'er nodded and agreed, "Since that's the case, then I'll wait for you on the side of the road, anyway, after you leave, it has nothing to do with you whether I am dead or alive at that time, whether I am eaten by a tiger or taken away by a thief, it has nothing to do with you." Anyway, I'm in your heart, but it's just a matter of five cents. ”
Originally, she just wanted to retreat and make a radical move, but who expected that after saying that, a trace of sadness rose in her heart.
Not to mention Liu Fusheng, in fact, she doesn't know what kind of status she has in this family, although the Fang family is okay to her, but sometimes thinking about it, she is just a daughter-in-law they bought back for five cents.
After all, he is not a member of their family, and he can be left behind at any time.
The more I thought about it, the more it seemed to take root under my feet, and it was difficult to even take a step.
"I'm kidding you, are you really angry?"
Ye Yuan didn't understand, this was so good to herself just now, how could she be really angry in a blink of an eye.
"If you don't leave, then I'll really go?" Ye Yuan thought that Liu Man'er was in this state on purpose, so he strode forward alone.
He thought that he had seen through Liu Man'er's temperament in the past few days, and knew that although she looked stupid, she was actually clever, and she would definitely catch up.
But he walked a long way, turned his head suddenly, but didn't see anyone behind him, and he just thought that someone was following him and wanted to scare him, but it was just his hallucination.
"Man'er?" Ye Yuan screamed, but there was no response.
He was a little panicked, could it be that this stupid woman was really waiting for him on the side of the road?
Although there are few people here, after all, it is a roadside, and people come and go, which really makes him a little worried.
Although Liu Man'er looks like a normal person, who knows when she will be stupid? When the time comes, others will be abducted back into slavery and slavery, abused, or run around, and from then on, the five families will be returned, reduced to beggars, and starved to death in the wilderness.
Ye Yuan almost didn't dare to continue thinking about it, he patted his head and ran back.
What are you doing with a fool? After all, she is young, and her temperament is like that of a child, so she needs to be coaxed.
While thinking about it, he blamed himself, ran to the same place to see, he really didn't see anyone, Ye Yuan searched up and down, but he still didn't see anyone, now he was really panicked......
"Man'er, Man'er?"
He shouted at the top of his voice, but no one answered him.
Ye Yuan was in a hurry, and when he looked up, he found that on the stone he had just pointed to, there seemed to be a gray figure faintly.
Because her gray clothes were very old, the color of stone, he didn't even notice it for a while.
"Man'er, how did you get up here?" Ye Yuan ran over anxiously and angrily.
"Didn't you tell me to hide over here?" Liu Man'er said in a low voice, looking innocent.
She had been crying on the side of the road just now, but no one paid attention to her, so she had to retaliate against him to be anxious.
"Okay, don't be willful, good girl, come down quickly." Ye Yuan's tone was a little sterner.
"No, I can't walk, I'm going to rest on this." Liu Man'er said stubbornly.
"If you do this again, then I'll really leave." Ye Yuan is a person who eats soft and does not eat hard.
"Then you go, you've already walked through it once anyway." Liu Man'er said without admitting defeat.
Ye Yuan really raised his legs and walked on the road, but before he could take two steps, he heard a cry behind him, and he was really speechless to Liu Man'er.
I could only turn back, look at her and say, "What are you crying about?" ”
Liu Man'er burst into tears, "Aren't you leaving, what are you doing when you come back?" ”
"Don't be willful, come down." Ye Yuan said in a good voice.
"If you don't come down, you can't walk." Liu Man'er was still a little stubborn, but her voice was lowered, soft, soft, and pitiful.
"Okay, I'll carry you away, okay?" Ye Yuan said helplessly, "I don't believe you next time, you just said that you could go, but you didn't go halfway, so you just got it." ”
"I can walk, but I can't walk now." Liu Man'er's words have no logic or reason at all.
"Okay, I'll carry you, come down." Ye Yuan coaxed again.
A smile appeared on Liu Man'er's face, and she said, "Then you catch me, I jumped off here." ”
"Don't don't, don't ......" Ye Yuan said in a continuous voice, this stone is two people high from the ground, and it is not fun to fall down.
"I'm just kidding you, are you serious?" saw Liu Man'er slowly climb down from under the stones.
As soon as she stood in front of Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan's face sank, and she just wanted to open her mouth to scold her, but when she saw that her eyes were red and her eye frames were full of tears, her heart softened again, "You can't be so willful in the future, you know?" ”
Liu Man'er nodded, sobbing like a child: "Then you can't leave me alone and leave by yourself." ”
"Good!" Ye Yuan solemnly promised.
Liu Man'er burst into tears and laughed.
