Chapter 10: The Way to Make Money (4)

Two days later, on the county road at the entrance of Yangliu Village, Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu were waiting for the carriage of the shopkeeper. Jiang Wu was holding a white-haired puppy in his arms, looking very cute.

"This time when I came to Yangliu Village, not only did I not get the 300 Wen Demon Elimination Bounty, but I also brought a money-losing goods!" Jiang Chen muttered: "Brother, you really shouldn't have promised Wei Daozi to take care of Yinquill for him." ”

Jiang Wu smiled slightly: "You also said that if Yinqu is left out, or if you meet someone who doesn't understand its habits, it is likely to cause trouble." Since we have promised to help Wei Daozi finish this scene, we must properly dispose of Silverquill, and there is no more suitable way than for us to adopt it. Xiaobai is very well-behaved, as long as there is food, there is no need to spend a lot of effort to domesticate. ”

Xiaobai is the name of this silverquill, at this time it curled up in Jiang Wu's arms, yawning lazily, it is hard to imagine that it will actually become a giant demon with the size of an elephant.

"I don't care!" Jiang Chen said: "It's just that this silver quill has to be full in three or two days, otherwise it may turn into a demon at any time and cause a big mess." If the landlord is reluctant to feed it, and our brothers are nervous, it will be more troublesome at that time. ”

Jiang Wu nodded: "This is indeed a problem. After you go back, you must try to beg the landlord and aunt to take Xiaobai in, and at most let the aunt add some food expenses. ”

While the brothers were chatting, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a moment later, the shopkeeper Hu arrived in a car.

"Shopkeeper Hu came on time!" Jiang Chen praised: "I thought I would have to wait a little longer." ”

Shopkeeper Hu laughed: "We businessmen are based on reputation, and we say that noon is noon." Moreover, most businessmen are busy, and they have a strong sense of time, and sometimes they miss business later. ”

In addition to the shopkeeper Hu, there was another person in the car, a slightly beautiful woman.

Shopkeeper Hu introduced: "This is a lady I met on the road before, and she is also going to Yunlan Town, so I will give her a ride." You brothers squeeze in. ”

Jiang Chen Jiang Wu thanked them and got on the train, the carriage was not big, Jiang Chen Jiang Wu and the woman sat facing each other, the woman smiled at them, quite kind. The woman was very interested in Xiao Bai in Jiang Wu's arms, and reached out to touch it, but Xiao Bai suddenly screamed "woo", which frightened the woman to retract her hand.

Shopkeeper Hu drove off, and he praised Xiaobai, saying that it was a very beautiful puppy, and if it was sold to a young lady from a rich family in the town, it might be able to sell it for a lot of silver.

Jiang Chen was quite moved and planned to entrust the shopkeeper to sell Xiaobai, but unfortunately Jiang Wu resolutely opposed it and had to give up.

"How's the matter with the two of you demon slayers, have you got the bounty?" asked the shopkeeper Hu suddenly.

"Demon extermination?" the woman was stunned.

Shopkeeper Hu said with a smile: "I forgot to introduce you, these two little brothers are not simple, they are the Taoists in our town, and this time they were invited to Yangliu Village to eliminate demons!"

"So you're Daoxia!" the woman frowned slightly, she seemed to be a little afraid of these demonic things.

"Don't mention it!" Jiang Chen responded to the shopkeeper: "The monster is too powerful, and in the end, it was subdued by the old Daoist Yang of Qiyunguan, and we didn't make any effort and didn't get the bounty." ”

"Don't be discouraged!" Shopkeeper Hu said with relief: "You are still young, if you really devote yourself to cultivating the Tao instead of swaggering and deceiving, your future Taoism will definitely become more and more profound." ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Jiang Wu nodded, but his eyes looked at the woman.

Since getting into the car, Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu have been paying attention to this woman. The woman was very amiable at first, but when she heard that they were Taoist heroes, she tried her best to avoid their gaze.

Not long after, Jiang Wu took out a talisman paper from his arms and said to the shopkeeper Hu: "By the way, Old Daoist Yang gave us a peace talisman to exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits." The shopkeeper Hu has been running around all the year round, and it is somewhat useful to paste this peace charm on the carriage. ”

"I have a heart!" said Shopkeeper Hu. However, he didn't care much about these things, and after taking the peace charm, he just glanced at it, and hung it in the corner of the carriage.

"That's not how the peace charm is used, I'll put it on for you. Jiang Wu said, then took off the peace charm, unfolded it, and pasted it on the window edge of the carriage. He seemed to think that the Dao seal of this talisman was not powerful enough, so he took out a vial and poured out a little cinnabar, and drew some more Dao patterns on the talisman.

The woman watched Jiang Wu's movements without blinking, and her face became more and more ugly.

"Shopkeeper Hu, please stop. I'm getting out of the car. The woman suddenly cried out.

Shopkeeper Hu was stunned: "Get off? Yunlan Town still has more than half a day away!"

The woman said, "I remember, I have a sister who married into Yangliu Village, and I haven't seen her for many years, and I happened to stop by to see her this time. I will stay in Yangliu Village for a while, and it will not be too late to go to Yunlan Town in the future. ”

When the shopkeeper saw that the woman was very resolute, he stopped the carriage. Before she could fully stop, the woman got out of the car in a hurry, thanked the shopkeeper, and hurried away.

"What's the matter?" muttered the shopkeeper, and after seeing the woman drift away, he made sure she would not change her mind again, and then continued to drive.

Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu looked at each other and smiled.

Jiang Chen said: "Shopkeeper Hu, I heard that the forest in Sanhe County is not very peaceful, and some demons are infested, although they are just some little demons that absorb people's yang energy, but if they come into contact, it will also bring some trouble." With this peace charm, those little demons dare not approach. If you see that this peace charm is damaged, don't be careless, let us draw a new one for you. ”

"Where are so many monsters in broad daylight!" "The shopkeeper Hu will be suspicious: "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." I don't rush at night, I won't meet youkai!"

"Not necessarily!" Jiang Chen said, "It's not a bad thing to be careful......!"

"What happened just now?" asked the shopkeeper suspiciously.

"It's nothing," Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "This time, our brothers took your car, but they didn't get the demon removal bounty, so they took out a few peace charms, which can be regarded as paying for the fare." ”

The shopkeeper laughed: "I just piggybacking on the way, and I didn't plan to charge you the fare! Okay, since you said so, I will keep this peace charm in the car." ”

......

In the evening, they returned to Yunlan Town. Shopkeeper Hu sent Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu to the mouth of Suiyuan Alley, and the landlord Aunt Li was standing under the yellow locust tree at the mouth of the alley, looking here.

"I've been waiting for a long time!" shopkeeper Hu smiled: "Don't worry, you're back safely!"

"Thank you!" Aunt Li said to Shopkeeper Hu: "I'll make a basket of steamed buns another day and let the two brothers deliver it to your shop." ”

"Then I'm in for a treat!" Shopkeeper Hu was very happy: "The buns made by Aunt Li are full of praise from the neighbors!"

Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu got out of the car, and the shopkeeper Hu also said goodbye and left.

Jiang Wu was thinking about how to propose the adoption of Xiaobai to the landlord's aunt, and the landlord's aunt had already set her sights on Xiaobai.

"What a handsome puppy!" The landlady immediately hugged Xiaobai from Jiang Wu's arms, gently stroked its fur, and praised it repeatedly: "This fur is snow-white and snow-white, it looks so good!What is its name?"

"It's called Xiaobai, a stray dog, picked up on the road. Jiang Chen said.

"Xiaobai, this name is too ordinary, can you take a snack with a name!" the landlady muttered, she couldn't put it down and hugged Xiaobai, and kept teasing it. Xiaobai seemed to be dizzy from the bumps of the carriage, and it curled up in the arms of the landlady, without resistance at all, and looked very well-behaved.

"Go back to the house and rest, I'll go buy some meat and bones for Xiaobai." The landlady left a sentence and walked away with Xiaobai in her arms.

The brothers were stunned for a moment, they were still worried about how to persuade the landlord to adopt Xiaobai, but now it seems that they don't need to open their mouths at all.

"Sure enough, you still have to rely on your face to eat!" Jiang Chen sighed: "Even if it's a dog, you have to be good-looking to have meat to eat." ”

That night, the landlady and aunt bought some extra vegetables to prepare for the brothers to wash the dust. But she heard that the brothers didn't get the bounty for slaying demons, so they only made green vegetables and tofu, coarse tea and light rice.

On the contrary, Xiaobai has a bowl of meat and bones to entertain it. Jiang Chen could only sigh "People are not as good as dogs".
