"Hey, come here, man" Zeng Su walked to the counter in a big way, and shouted in a rough voice, only to see that she was dressed as a man but could not hide her delicate face, with hair tied on her head, white brocade underneath, a tulle black robe, a silver trimmed belt, and white boots.

The guy who was wiping the table and chairs on the side heard that the person who came was so unceremoniously disturbing his work, while wiping his water-stained hands on his earthy yellow linen clothes, he turned around, and said in a slightly annoyed tone, "Alas? I said how do you..."

Zeng was stunned for a moment, full of doubts, alas? I seem to be here for the first time... Whatever, I'm here to buy something anyway.

Thinking of this, he didn't bother to care, and casually pointed to "How much is this hosta?" The guy turned his face enthusiastically and glanced at it, and suddenly looked embarrassed.

"What?" Zeng was puzzled. "This hairpin is not for sale," the guy said apologetically.

"Why don't you sell it, why do you put it out? Don't you want to take the opportunity to raise the price and knock us out, right? Tell you, I've seen a lot of tricks like this, don't play tricks on me" Qin Ming, who was outside the door, saw Zeng Su frowning and entangled with his guy, walked quickly to the two of them, and reprimanded unceremoniously when he heard the content of the dispute.

"Guest officer, even if you say so, I can't sell it to you, I haven't had time to put it away, this young man saw it, I can't help it" The guy explained with a sad face.

"What's the matter? It's noisy outside early in the morning?" Before anyone heard it, a chubby man wearing a brown gold-rimmed hat and a brown robe came from behind the door with a big belly, and he lifted the curtain and looked impatient.

Qin Ming didn't say anything, just raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Shopkeeper, these people want to...",

"Oh, it turned out to be Master Qin, why did you have time to come to us, the last time, thanks to your medical center, otherwise my son and the insiders are only afraid of all now... , My insider also said yesterday that he wanted to find an opportunity to come to the door to thank Zeng Bo, but you are here today. Seeing that it was Qin Ming, the shopkeeper of Cao, he didn't wait for the guy in the store to finish speaking, he interrupted directly, walked quickly in front of him, bowed down, and smiled all over his face.

After finishing a sentence, seeing that the person in front of him did not react, he immediately understood, turned his head and shouted angrily at the guy behind him, "What's the matter with you, you made Qin Ye unhappy, don't apologize quickly!"

"If you have any orders, just open your mouth, as long as I, Cao, can do it, there is no other word. After reprimanding the guy, he turned around and hugged his fist towards the other party with a respectful face.

"It's not a big deal, there is no need to apologize, it's just that the granddaughter of our hall owner has taken a fancy to a hosta in your store, and the guy is not selling it, and wants to knock on my door" Qin Ming said without being salty or light, and looked at the lilac hosta with silver edges.

"Ah, there is this..."Saying that, Shopkeeper Cao followed Qin Ming's gaze, then paused for a moment, his face showed embarrassment, and he stammered, "Indeed... Indeed, it is... I gave him an explanation, this... This thing can't be sold. ”

This time, Qin Ming was stunned, could it be that he misunderstood his buddy, this hosta is indeed not for sale, but it seems that it is not a particularly valuable thing, is there any other reason why it can't be.

Zeng Su saw that the expressions on both sides were not quite right, and he was afraid that the hosta he fancied would be gone, so he stretched out his little hand and grabbed the corner of Brother Ming's clothes tightly and pulled it.

Feeling the corners of his clothes being torn, he looked down at his junior sister, who was angry and funny, but the junior sister never forgot her own things, no matter what.

Immediately cast a puzzled look at the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper Cao saw his benefactor looking at him like this, he was also in a dilemma, lowered his head and was silent, Qin Ming was not in a hurry to stand aside; for a long time, the shopkeeper Cao seemed to have figured out something, gritted his teeth, stepped aside and stretched out his hand to make Qin Ming let Qin Ming into the store, "Alas, okay, I'll tell you, go to the backyard to talk", and then pointed to the guy, "You, go and close the door, and then make a pot of good tea to the backyard wing, and then come to the front door to watch, and no one else is allowed to come in." "Ah," the man agreed.

After the shopkeeper Cao finished speaking, he walked to the counter, took out a delicate silk handkerchief, took out a hosta from the glass window with a handkerchief, wrapped it, put it in a small silver box, and then put on a peach box, and then put it into his arms with peace of mind.

Although Qin Ming was full of doubts, he still pulled Zeng Su, who was dressed as a teenager, into the backyard of the store, opened the heavy gray cotton curtain, and saw a chic courtyard house, the bright yellow glazed tiles made the whole building shine, and in the center of the courtyard was a bare tree half a person high, only the thickness of an arm, shrouded in a thin mist, appearing and disappearing.

Seeing this strange scene, Zeng Su couldn't hold back his curiosity anymore, and took a step out, and ran to the center of the courtyard..."Master, wait, that place..." The shopkeeper Cao, who came in from the counter, saw it, and unconsciously stopped it, and just halfway through speaking, he stopped talking, because he remembered that this little young master came with Qin Ming, and he was also a benefactor from the medical hall, if it was an outsider, he would never lead it into the backyard, even if it was a distinguished guest coming to the backyard, he would never be allowed to approach the trunk, as for the benefactor, then forget it, and go to it.

Qin Ming didn't move or dissuade him, but when he saw the shopkeeper Cao's demeanor, he couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, why were you so nervous just now, what is unusual about the tree trunk in the center of the courtyard, and why is it already noon, and there is such a thick fog around?"

"Qin Ye doesn't know, this tree is not an ordinary tree, but a demon mist tree"

"Could it be the Demon Mist Tree in the Demon Mist Forest!?" At this time, Qin Ming was finally a little moved.

"Yes, it is this tree, it is said that the Demon Mist Forest is one of the top ten secret realms in Shenzhou, although it is not the most dangerous secret realm, but it is the most mysterious and difficult to find among many secret realms, and even in the Demon Mist Forest, this tree is not everywhere. Shopkeeper Cao looked at the tree trunk in front of him, and his eyes flashed.

"That..."

"Hehe, you're trying to ask, how did I get this trunk?"

"Exactly. ”

"Don't look at my current appearance, when I was young, I also traveled from south to north, where there was danger and opportunity, I never thought about the consequences, my vision was naturally not a problem, and I also met a group of friends in life and death, not only that, I also followed the demon hunting team into Grimat City, and studied magic for two years" Shopkeeper Cao recalled the high spirits of his youth, and unconsciously puffed up his chest, his chest was full of pride.

"As for how to get this trunk, it was an early morning many years ago, in the depths of the magical wasteland, when I was still a teenager," Shopkeeper Cao's expression became strange and solemn.

"You said the Demon Mist Forest is in the depths of the Magical Wasteland?" Qin Ming couldn't help but interject.

Shopkeeper Cao didn't seem to hear the question of the person next to him, and still said, "I'm still a teenager, and my father and a team of demon hunters and business travelers are on the road together, preparing to go to Grimat City, that should be my second trip to this huge city, and I was still as excited as the first time, because my father wanted to use the merits accumulated in the Demon Hunting Alliance over the years to give me a chance to study in the academy." But now that I think about it, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse..."

The middle-aged man's eyes were lowered, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he smiled bitterly.
