Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Old Man Who Sells Exploding Fruits
Seeing such a spring color in this cold winter wax moon is really refreshing!
Tang Ba squatted down, curiously picked up a green bag and gently pinched it, the contents were a little hard.
The old man had already opened a green bun and handed it to Tang Ba, "Wu will eat one first." β
The green leaves hold three red balls, which are unusually eye-catching in this silvery white.
Tang Ba twisted one out of the corner of his eye, and was just about to put it in his mouth, but was stopped by Meng Liang.
"Wu, you can't eat indiscriminately. β
Tang Ba really hesitated.
The old man didn't explain when he saw this, picked one up, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Tang Ba was a little stumbling, and as the old man did, he stuffed a walnut-sized red ball into his mouth.
"Poof", the juice burst out and instantly filled the entire mouth, and the defenseless Tang Ba was directly choked, and the red water that he didn't have time to swallow sprayed snow.
Tang Ba wiped his mouth and looked at the scene where he was suspected of vomiting blood, and he amused himself first, and Meng Liang also pursed his lips and snickered.
Refreshing!
Tang Ba secretly praised and picked up another one and stuffed it into his mouth, this fruit is a bit big for Tang Ba, but only by eating it like this can it be really refreshing.
The thin outer wall is a brittle shell, and the thick juice of the bite opening is sweet and refreshing, and the aroma remains between the teeth after swallowing, which is simply not too wonderful!
True to its name.
Tang Bamei asked with a smile: "Old man, how do you trade?"
The old man put his hands in his cuffs and buried his head and replied, "2 coins." β
So cheap!
But......
Tang Ba looked at the faceless old man and muttered in his heart, sitting in the snow on a cold day to sell things, and finally had customers, is this old man too indifferent.
Tang Ba stood up and deliberately pulled Meng Liang away a few steps, although the words were said to Meng Liang, his eyes looked at the old man, "What is a strip coin?"
The old man still sat calmly in the snow, seemingly unconcerned whether anyone bought his things.
"Don Bawu, I'll give you a deal as much as you want. Meng Liang replied in a low voice.
Tang Ba thought for a moment, "Then let's trade it all, and give it to Dawu to taste." β
"Yes, Donbawu. β
Meng Liang and the old man traded, while Tang Ba stood quietly and watched coldly. It's not that she's too careful, but the old man's reaction is really unreasonable, even if he traded all the exploding fruits, the old man didn't show the slightest joy.
Tang Ba squatted down suddenly, and as soon as he caught a glimpse of a side face, he was blocked by the old man's hat, and Tang Ba's sudden action obviously made the old man panic for a moment, and the hand that had been hidden in the cuff was finally revealed, and the wide brim of the hat was pulled down and then retracted into the cuff.
However, Tang Ba saw it clearly, that hand was definitely not the hand that an elderly person should have, not to mention fair-skinned, but there were no wrinkles.
Although I don't know who this is, I don't know why I sell fruit here, and I don't know what the purpose of this person is, I really have no ill will towards her.
Tang Ba blinked, and poked the "old man" with a bad heart, and the "old man" was obviously stiff, and reflexively tilted to the other side.
"Old man!" the voice made Donba cry out with irony, "Are you happy that I traded all your fruits?"
"Happy, happy. The brim of the wide hat was slightly slightly, and the voice was still old.
"Then why didn't I see it at all!" Donba tilted his head to look under the brim of his hat, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.
"Uh......" The voice paused slightly, and then he laughed dryly, as if to confirm that he was happy.
Tang Ba pursed his lips and smiled, this person is too funny!
Meng Liang had already put away the cloth bag and stood up, shaking his hand on his shoulder, "Wu, it's time to go back." β
Tang Ba Ghost, who was about to get up, squatted back again, raised his head and stretched out his hand to Meng Liang and said, "The old man is very hard, this fruit is delicious, give him some coins!"
Meng Liang hesitated, took out two coins from the pocket on his waist and handed them to Tang Ba.
After Tang Ba took it, he deliberately moved the coin half an arm's length away from the "old man", and said with a smile: "Thank you for the fruit, you have worked hard." β
"It's good if Wu likes it. As he spoke, he raised his arm to pick it up, but his hand was still in his sleeve.
Tang Ba didn't let go but tilted his head and glanced at Meng Liang, Meng Liang was looking in the direction of the dining house and didn't notice her, Tang Ba took the opportunity to say very quickly: "Can I see you again?"
For some reason, Tang Ba just thinks that this person is waiting for her here!
This person's subordinates shook visibly and said in a low voice, "Yes." β
How can there be a previous old state, it is obviously a young man's voice.
Tang Ba curled the corners of his mouth and said no more, and walked back to the dining house with Meng Liang.
Seeing that the two had already walked away, the "old man" took off his hat, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was exactly the same as Tang Ba, looking harmless but secretly scheming!
The original nine-day trip was delayed by two days due to a heavy snowfall.
On the 415th day of the 1092 Witch Festival, the long journey finally came to an end, and the city of Zhongao arrived.
It was bustling outside the carriage, and there was silence in the carriage.
Tang Ba lay on the ground and silently counted the days.
It took 22 days from Davis to Zhongao City, and another 25 days will be the day when Kanga will take Eminem to escape and get on the ship, and when she returns to Sumivanu, she will inevitably see the "Zheng" mark left by Kanga, and then she will take the opportunity to escape, and everything will be implemented according to the original plan.
If she didn't see it, it meant that Kanga's mission to the tribe had indeed been canceled, so she would honestly follow Chabu back to the Witch Tower, and then make another another.
Tang Ba twisted an exploding fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, squinting his eyes to enjoy the sweetness of the moment when the fruit exploded, and he didn't know how long the fruit could be stored, just hoping that Kanga and Eminem could also eat such a delicious fruit.
The noise outside the carriage gradually died down, and Tang Ba turned over and sat up, lifted the felt curtain and looked, there was only a thick stone wall outside, and there was nothing else, she knew that this was going to the witch hall.
Sitting in the car, Donba felt her lean back, she guessed that it was going uphill, and after driving for a while, the horned car finally stopped.
Meng Liang's voice sounded outside the carriage, "Tang Bawu, it's time to get off." β
The door opened.
Tang Ba jumped out of the car, gathered his cloak, brushed his hair that was blown away by the wind, looked up, and couldn't help but secretly marvel!
A hexagonal tower-shaped building stands impressively, unlike the gray stone of Davis's witch tower, this witch hall is made of large pieces of bluestone, both in width and height, it looks more solemn and magnificent.
In front of the gate of the Witch Hall is a wide and straight staircase, which is nearly twenty meters high, plus the thirteen-story tower, it is nearly 100 meters high!
At the bottom of the steps stood six red-robed witches wearing triangular patterns, and when they saw Chabu getting out of the car, they greeted them, and they bent down in unison, "Greetings to Chabu Witch-"
Tang Ba heard the sound and left, and just as he stood firm beside Chabu, the six of them said in unison: "Welcome to the witchesβ"
As soon as the words fell, I saw one of them take a step forward and bend down again, and said, "The Great Emperor and Wu Zu are already waiting for the Great Witch in the palace, and the Great Witch of Duqian asked me to take you there." β
Chabrio frowned and said to Meng E, who was following him: "You wait for me here, Tang Ba, you come with me." β
Tang Ba blinked, she was so soon, she had never seen such a big person!
This is to be placed in ancient times, isn't it just to see the emperor!
