Chapter 22: The Strange Egg
Boulder Town is a small town full of commercial atmosphere, it is said to be a small town, but the population is unusually dense, and there are hawkers on the streets of large and small, which adds a bit of liveliness to the seemingly small Boulder Town.
The vendor who had just asked for three hundred Sky Dome coins to sell to passers-by was the hardest shouting on the entire street, but no one seemed to pay attention to him.
"Look, these three people are starting to cheat people again, but fortunately no one was fooled today. ”
"And this time it's even more exaggerated, it's three hundred Sky Dome coins, this guy's head is arched by a pig. ”
"Oh, it's not just that his head is arched by a pig, I see his head is made of balls. Yesterday I still remember that the price of his what Dan was still one hundred and fifty and no one bought it, and today the damn price has increased, I really don't understand him. ”
Why is this person called "three-handed" by such a strange name?
The original name of the three-handed man was Zheng Baichuan, who was a little older and estimated to be between thirty-two and thirty-five years old, the third in the family, and left-handed, so he was called a three-handed person. He has a pair of thief eyebrows, sparse eyebrows, fluffy and messy hair, and a hunched waist, which suddenly looks particularly obscene.
A group of people chattered around the three-handed man, and those who were passing by Boulder Town from elsewhere chose to avoid the peddler without even looking at him.
The surrounding group of people are all locals in Boulder Town, and this person named "Three-handed" has lived in this Boulder Town for generations, Three-handed is a real "indigenous", but the reputation of Three-handed seems to be not particularly good, almost everyone in the crowd can see that there is a look of contempt for Three-handed.
"Take a walk and take a look, it's all good stuff, just look at it! It was clear that the three-handed man ignored them and continued to shout.
Three-handed people are also commonplace. The three-handed man then sneered, and then said, "A group of things that don't know the goods, what do you know, these are all precious, they really don't know Taishan." Hmph!"
The three-handed man looked down at these things in front of him at this time, and suddenly let out another sigh, "Alas"
"Isn't there anyone who knows the goods? I've been selling these things for hundreds of years, and the poor table is rotting and nothing has been sold, I don,,,,,,,,,,'t know," the three-handed man had not finished his sentence, when he was interrupted by the next sentence.
"Boss, how do you sell this egg?" At this time, the three-handed man raised his head, this is a handsome and extraordinary young man, I saw that the young man was looking intently at the palm-sized, colorful "egg" in front of him
The three-handed man didn't pay much attention to the young man, but his eyes squinted, and this look didn't matter and suddenly made the three-handed's heart beat faster. In his heart, he said, "What a beautiful woman who has captivated the country and the city, that appearance is really mouth-watering!" It turned out that when the three-handed man saw the woman beside the young man, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he lost his mind for a while.
"Ahem!"
A cough made the three-handed man suddenly come to his senses, and he fixed his eyes to see that there was an old man behind the young man. Then he glanced at the imposing old man behind the young man, and saw the old man standing respectfully and silently behind the young man, and suddenly two words came out of the three-handed man's mind, "master" The old man stood without saying a word, and his expression was unusually cold.
A seemingly ordinary young man, he was accompanied by a beautiful woman who was almost demonic, and there was an old man who seemed to be powerful.
"Oh! What a good eyesight, I can see the extraordinary nature of this egg at a glance, and I am dissatisfied with you to say that this egg fell from the sky five hundred years ago, and it was still intact when it fell. The three-handed man said passionately, and the one he said was out of the blue, lifelike, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Yes, I want it! What you said!" The young man opened his mouth and came, without even looking at the three-handed man, it was just a pair of you don't ink blots, how much money Uncle Ben wanted.
The young man was stunned for a moment when he said this, and thought to himself, "My good man!" I have met a big wronged man today, and this egg can be said to be described by the word that has been sealed for a long time, but I didn't expect that I started selling it when I was ten years old, and today it is finally going to open. ”
The three-handed man paused, then concealed his excitement, and then coughed softly, "Eh,,,,,,,,, so let's do it! Brother, I see that you are also a refreshing person, and the price is five hundred Heavenly Dome Coins, how can you ,,,,,,, it." The three-handed man said with a weak heart in his heart.
Five hundred Heavenly Dome Coins?The three-handed man himself didn't know how to say it, and he didn't know if the young man in front of him would be scared away by his unbridled words. I couldn't help but start muttering in my heart, and my eyes glanced at the boy from time to time.
"Okay! 500 is 500. ”
One sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the three-handed man was immediately shocked by the young man's words, not only the three-handed, but also the people around him were shocked when they heard it.
"Where did you come from, fool! I don't know if I've been cheated. ”
"Why was this kind of wronged head touched by a three-handed person, why can't I touch it?"
"It seems that the three-handed man is afraid that he will be happy today, and he won't even be able to sleep well!"
The words of the surrounding group of people made the three-handed man embarrassed for a while, and his heart began to feel uneasy, thinking to himself, "My ancestors!
At this moment, a soft and gentle voice sounded: "Brother Immeasurable! This is five hundred Heavenly Dome Coins! Is this egg really worth so much?"
It turned out that this old man, one young and one girl were Ye Wuliang and his party. From the time he began to enter Boulder Town, Ye Wuliang heard the loudest shouting of these three people on the entire street, and for a while Ye Wuliang was curious and wanted to see what was going on, so there was the conversation just now.
At this time, Ye Wuliang picked up the egg on the table, shook it lightly in his ear and said, "Hey, I, I just look at this egg is a little different, you see that this egg is as big as my palm, and it is colorful, different from the bird eggs I saw in the village, I have never seen such a peculiar egg, so I just want to buy it and play with it." Ye Wuliang's words set off a burst of cynicism in the surrounding crowd.
"Cut! I thought it was the son of a big family, who spoke bigger than the sky, it turned out that his mother was a hillbilly from the country, and he was just a liar who could only talk big. ”
"That's it! No money is no money, and they still pretend to be presentable, these days, everyone really has it. ”
"Not necessarily, what if people are the ones who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers? ”
A group of onlookers chattered and chattered. Some directly choose to ignore and leave, and some continue to watch the show.
At this time, Wen Lao turned his head violently, his eyes kicked at the people around him and looked around, there seemed to be a fire in his eyes, which was burning, as if it was about to erupt, and the people around him trembled.
Ye Wuliang didn't take it seriously, and sneered, "Boss, I don't have five hundred Heavenly Dome Coins, but I have something more valuable than five hundred Heavenly Dome Coins, I think we can try to exchange them." What do you think. "Ye Wuliang does not have the Sky Dome Coin, it is no wonder that Ye Wuliang is still a newcomer who has not been deeply involved in the world, and the Sky Dome Coin, a currency that is common throughout the continent, Ye Wuliang has really never been in contact with it.
When the three-handed man heard this, he immediately showed a look of contempt and disdain.
Ye Wuliang saw that the three-handed man had such an attitude, and he didn't bother with him, Ye Wuliang immediately secretly ran the Linglong Heavenly Soul Chain, and pretended to take out a golden jade from his sleeve.
The people around were shocked again, and at this time, someone shouted, "Dark gold and jade!"
Ye Wuliang took the dark gold jade in his hand and raised his eyes, and said, "How about it, boss? Can such a good piece of dark gold jade be exchanged? ”
The three-handed man's eyes suddenly glowed with gold, "Change, change, change, oh, this little brother! You are really too sincere, in that case, then this egg will be handed over to you." As soon as the three-handed man finished speaking, he snatched the dark gold jade from Ye Wuliang's hand, and then bit the dark gold jade with his mouth, after it was indeed a real dark gold jade, the three-handed man raised his head and laughed.
"Boss, can I take this egg?" Ye Wuliang said
The three-handed man was still in a state of excitement, and with a wave of one hand, he said casually, "Take it, take it!" As soon as the words fell, the three-handed man rolled his eyes and said, "That guest officer, I suddenly thought that I still have some things, ************ I'll go first! Hee hee "the three-handed man saw that it was good, and began to hurriedly close the stall, and after a while, the things on the table were swept away by the three-handed. fled the scene in a hurry.
"You've been deceived, boy!"
"yes! These three people are here to trick outsiders like you. You've all fallen for him. ”
"If you regret it, I can take you to his house. ”
At this time, the people around him came to persuade Ye Wuliang, which means that you are a big wrongdoer, and you don't know that you have been deceived. and pretending to be nothing, it's really stupid to go home.
Ye Wuliang also knew that the three-handed man was a charlatan, but Ye Wuliang didn't care, wasn't it just a piece of dark gold and jade, Lao Tzu was so much.
Ye Wuliang didn't care about the words of the people around him, and then said that it didn't matter, so he beckoned Wen Lao and Meng Ruyan and said, "Let's go, let's go!"
————————————————————
The night was quiet, there was no sound, only the wind was still playful.
Ye Wuliang and his entourage casually found an inn and stayed, Ye Wuliang put down his bags after entering the guest room, took out the peculiar "egg" he bought from the three-handed man during the day, and put it on the table in the guest room.
Ye Wuliang looked left and right, looking up and down carefully.
"According to the people in the town, you appeared in this town many years ago, which means that you have never hatched, and others are about to treat you as a dead egg," Ye Wuliang said softly.
As soon as the words fell, the egg in Ye Wuliang's hand began to move, and the palm-sized "egg" began to glow white, flashing and flashing, like fireflies, flickering rhythmically. Ye Wuliang was stunned in his heart, and after a while, he calmly said softly, "My good girl! You can still shine, it turns out that you are not a villain."
As soon as Ye Wuliang finished speaking, this "egg" seemed to not like Ye Wuliang saying that he was a bad egg just now, and began to break free from Ye Wuliang's palm, and immediately flew out, jumping up and down in this room, saying that he was very angry, but like a naughty child, naughty and willful.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open, and the person who came was Wen Lao, who lived next door to Ye Wuliang, Wen Lao heard that there was movement in Ye Wuliang's room, and immediately got up and came to Ye Wuliang's room, and kicked the door to smash.
However, the mischievous "badass" was startled by the sound of kicking the door open, and fell to the ground.
"What kind of person! dare to disturb the young master's rest!"
