Chapter 51: Beipenglai (4)
Li Yingge was very interested in Ah Nian's eyes, and two days later, he took Ah Nian to see many people on the boat, and Ah Nian found that the ship looked like the prince of the Dragon Palace on patrol, and the boat was full of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
Ah Nian couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Nine won't be the crown prince of the Dragon Palace, right?"
"Of course not!" replied Li Yinyue.
"But he has something to do with the Dragon King. ”
After Li Yingge interjected, he immediately got Li Yinyue's eye warning, and he pretended to smile stupidly, and Ah Nian didn't ask much when he saw this.
The ship traveled at sea for ten days, and until the ship docked, Ah Nian never saw Uncle Nine again. When they got off the boat, Ah Nian and Zixu wanted to say goodbye to him, but Li Yingge and Li Yinyue said no, Li Yingge dragged Ah Nian and Zixu and got off the boat directly.
The four of them landed on the land, and Li Yingge let go of Ah Nian and said, "Uncle Jiu, he...... You don't want to see us now. ”
"What did we provoke him?" Zixu couldn't help but ask.
"We took his boat in vain, and he may not be distressed. ”
"Actually, we can pay!" Zixu said again.
Ah Nian looked at Zi Xu. They have nothing to do now, where is the money?
"He also wants to save face! You are Penglai's distinguished guests, and Ah Mi and I are his nephews, how can he be embarrassed to accept money? If we give money, we won't give him face!"
Zixu couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows, Ah Nian couldn't quite understand the mind of this ninth uncle, but he felt more and more that he was indeed wonderful.
Ah Nian and his party quickly left the coast and entered this small town called Wangchao by the sea. It was noon, the sun was warm, and the town was crowded with people, Li Yingge, who went ashore for the first time, seemed to be very curious about everything, and pulled Li Yinyue to look at the east and west, Zixu and A Nianzhu were behind the two, completely careless, just staring at the two of them to prevent them from being lost.
The two sisters stopped in front of a small stall, and Ah Nian asked Zixu in his heart, "What should we do next? Walk to the Imperial City on two feet?" That would take too long, but they didn't have the money now.
"Of course you can't rely on walking......" Zi Xuan didn't finish speaking, and suddenly dropped Ah Nian and stepped up with an arrow and stopped Li Yingge's hand, "Ah Yi girl, I don't want so much!"
Ah Nian followed over to take a look and found that Li Yingge was going to hand over a round pearl the size of his thumb.
Zixu came out, and the young shopkeeper who had already stretched out his hand to pick it up retracted his hand, lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at people, and hurriedly said, "Yes, it's a little too much!"
"It's not much, just one!" Li Yingge ignored it, put aside Zixu and put the pearl on the table, "The shortbread you made is delicious, I like it!"
"That girl take more!" The shopkeeper quickly wrapped two more packets and handed them to Li Yingge, still bowing his head and not daring to raise it.
Li Yingyue, who was beside Li Yingge, glanced at Zixu and Ah Nian, but before she could speak, she was dragged away by Li Yingge again.
Zixu looked at Ah Nian, Ah Nian smiled, "I was worried about having no money, but I didn't expect us to bring a little God of Wealth!"
"It's a fortune boy!" Zixu also laughed.
Because Ah Nian and Zixu didn't leave, the shopkeeper didn't dare to reach out for the pearls, and he probably felt that they stayed because he was greedy for a while, and the shopkeeper became more and more frightened, clutching his apron with both hands, and his head was lowered like a quail.
After Ah Nian finished laughing, he found that the shopkeeper was trembling, and said kindly, "Since Ah Yi girl gave it to you, you can accept it generously!" After speaking, Ah Nian pulled Zixu to chase after the two sisters......
The shopkeeper thanked him repeatedly, wiped his hands and picked up the pearls again, and smiled happily......
The two sisters had already turned around and waited on the side of the road, Ah Nian and Zixu chased after the two of them, and before they could speak, Li Yinyue pushed Li Yingge, and then Li Yingge spoke first-
"I was bad just now, I'll listen to you in the future!" Li Yingge lowered his head as he spoke, looking obedient.
Ah Nian and Zixu glanced at each other, and then looked at Li Yinyue at the same time, Li Yinyue nodded her head, obviously she had just said something to Li Yingge.
Zixu has always been a careless character, not to mention Fang Cai's matter, he didn't think that Li Yingge was wrong, and couldn't help but say, "We don't actually blame you!"
Li Yingge secretly glanced at Zixu, and saw that Zixu was really indifferent, and then she glanced at it again but caught a glimpse of Ah Nian's indifferent face, lowered her head again, and didn't dare to make a sound. In fact, during the time between Penglai and the ship, Li Yingge and Li Yinyue both saw that Zixu was very easy to get along with and easy to talk to, and Ah Nian was of course not difficult to get along with, but since she became beautiful, as long as she was slightly annoyed or slightly sunken face, it always made people feel overwhelming.
"Ah Nian girl?" Zixu felt that Ah Nian had never been embarrassed, and he couldn't figure out why she had a cold face.
"Let's find a quiet place to talk!" Ah Nian swept around, and there were people coming and going, which was not suitable for talking.
Zixu also looked around, "This town is so lively, there are people everywhere!"
"It's noon, are you hungry?" asked Ah Nian. It was lunch time when Uncle Jiu's boat docked, and Li Yingge actively pulled everyone off the boat, so the group didn't have time to eat lunch yet.
"Hungry!" Zixu replied the fastest, and he had always been more active in eating than anyone else.
Li Yinyue and Li Yingge also nodded their heads.
"Then let's find a restaurant to eat!" Ah Nian didn't have to eat because she was already an immortal, and her appetite had always been weak, in fact, it didn't matter if she ate or not, her proposal was more about considering the other three people.
No one objected, so a few people went into a restaurant and asked for a private room.
Ah Nian also ate a little meaningfully, and when everyone had finished eating and put down the dishes and chopsticks, Ah Nian went back to business-
"The pearl is Ah Yi's own girl, how to use it is your own business, it stands to reason that we shouldn't say more, but you have just entered the world, you don't understand the rules of the world, and acting like you used to do it may cause us trouble. ”
As soon as Ah Nian opened his mouth, he looked serious, and inexplicably gave birth to an oppressive momentum, and Li Yingge lowered his head and obeyed again as if he was being trained.
"Have you ever heard a word from Miss Ah Yi?" Ah Nian said unhurriedly, "People die for money, and birds die for food!"
Li Yingge nodded, "I've heard it, but I don't understand it." ”
Ah Nian didn't explain, and said, "There is another saying, when you go out, your money will not leak out." ”
Li Yingge raised his head, still not understanding.
Ah Nian turned his head and glanced at Zixu, who immediately understood what she meant, and took over the words, "Ah Yi girl, those pearls of yours may be sparse and ordinary in your eyes, but they are very valuable in the mortal world. The pearls you just gave that little brother are more than enough to buy his shop, and it is no problem to buy two or three of these restaurants. ”
Li Yingge was stunned, came back to his senses and shouted angrily, "Uncle Nine, that profiteer!"
Although Li Yingge didn't say exactly about Uncle Jiu, Ah Nian and Zixu both guessed it.
"Dad often says that Uncle Nine is not treacherous or businessman, but Sister you don't believe it. Li Yinyue glanced at Li Yingge, then turned her head and said to Ah Nian and Zixu, "We have a sea market there, all of them are bartered, and many things in the world are worth a lot of money in my place, Uncle Nine does this kind of business, and Sister A often exchanges some things in the world with Uncle Nine." ”
Li Yinyue had already made it clear, Ah Nian and Zixu's guesses had been confirmed, Li Yingge was ashamed and annoyed, and threw himself on the table without looking up.
Ah Nian didn't care about Li Yingge's little emotions, and urged Zixu, "You go on!"
Zixu found his words, and continued, "If people who go out carry a lot of money, they will generally be careful not to let people know about it, so as not to cause trouble. Ah Yi, girl, you were so generous before, if there are bad intentions targeting your money, we may have trouble coming to the door. ”
"Oh, I understand!" Li Yingge raised his head, looking very teachable, and said, "I can hand over all the pearls I brought to you, and you will control them!" With a bang, Li Yingge conjured up a bag and smashed it on the table, "Knowing that Ah Yi and I are going to go ashore, the brothers and sisters in the clan have given a lot, and I have brought them all, five or six hundred large and small!"
Zixu hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, "No, Miss Ah Yi is still ...... by herself" Before he finished speaking, he saw Ah Nian stretching out a hand towards the pearl bag, his eyes widened in shock, and his words were choked.
Ah Nian didn't take the bag, but just took out a pearl the size of his middle finger from it, put it in front of Zixu, and said, "Zixu Daoist, please take it to the pawnshop later, and after paying for this meal, we can leave." ”
Zixu shook his head, "No, in fact, I ......"
"Let you go!" Ah Nian glanced at him.
Zixu's words were beaten back into his stomach, he nodded, got up and was about to leave.
"Let you stay for a while, not now!" Ah Nian looked up at him.
Zixu could only sit back in her gaze, "Miss Ah Nian, please continue!"
"How do we get to the Imperial City?" Ah Nian asked again.
Zixu immediately replied, "I know that Miss Ah Nian must be anxious, so we'd better use the Soaring Technique." I can take Edgeworth, but only with one more person. Zixu looked at the two sisters, "The two of them are from Penglai, so they should be able to fly by themselves, right?"
"I'm fine!" Li Yinyue glanced at Li Yingge, and without waiting for Li Yingge to speak, she said again, "I can take Sister A!"
"Okay! Let's leave the town and leave!" Ah Nian was really anxious, and wanted to hurry up and report the safety of those who cared about her, and after going ashore, this mood couldn't help but surge.
Li Yingge's expression was slightly gloomy, revealing some reluctance.
Seeing this, Ah Nian was about to say something to appease her, but Zixu took the lead, he said, "We are going to the Imperial City next, that is the best and most prosperous place in this land, the lively and strange things that Ah Yi girl wants to see, there are all there, and they are better than here!"
Li Yingge's eyes lit up. "Really, don't lie to me?"
"Of course I don't lie to you!" Zi Xuan smiled, "I don't lie!"
"That's good!" Li Yingge couldn't wait to stand up, "Then we'll leave right away!How long will it take to get to the Imperial City?"
"If it's fast, it's less than a day, and if it's slow, it's two days!" Zixu replied to her.
"Okay, then let's go!" Li Yingge was about to rush out, but Li Yinyue grabbed her sleeve and grabbed her.
Li Yinyue said in a deep voice, "Sister, don't say that the wind is the rain. Miss Chu and Daoist Zixu still have to make arrangements. ”
Then, Ah Nian asked Zixu to take the pearl as a pearl, and asked Li Yinyue to follow. The two of them went and returned after a short time, bringing back two silver tickets and a small bag of broken silver. Ah Nian asked Li Yinyue to put away Li Yingge's pearl bag and silver ticket, Li Yingge did not object, and Ah Nian asked Zixu to take it first, and then called the store to settle the bill.
The shopkeeper cleared the situation and said, "Five coins of silver!"
Zi paid the bill, and the group left the restaurant.
Out of the town, to a secluded place where no one is around, Zixu cast a spell and flew away from the ground with Ah Nian first, Li Yinyue took out an almost transparent long silk belt and hung it on her shoulders, and then tied it behind her, and then she took Li Yingge's hand, the long silk fluttered lightly, and the two sisters also flew off the ground......
Zixu took Ah Nian in front, and the two sisters followed, Ah Nian looked back and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really like a fairy!"
"Miss Ah Nian can also learn the art of soaring!"
"You teach me?"
"Okay!"
Ah Nian just said that casually, but he didn't expect him to agree, but he was a little stunned.
"When Miss Ah Nian learns, you won't need me to take you!" Zixu said again.
Ah Nian suddenly inexplicably didn't want to learn. She hugged Zixu's waist tighter with both hands, and the whole person was close to it. Zixu was so nervous that his forehead sweated, but he stopped talking a few times, and finally didn't say anything to let her go, just concentrated on the sword, and didn't think about the situation behind him......
