Xia Jiaoxi and Tang Shu had been waiting in the hostel for a long time.

Seeing Chen Bai coming back, Xia Jiaoxi hurriedly got up to greet him, and Tang Shu also stood up and nodded towards Chen Bai.

Seeing Chen Bai holding a little girl, Xia Jiaoxi had already guessed that this was Ding Qing's sister.

There were still tears on the little girl's face, Xia Jiaoxi squatted down, trying to make his smile look more gentle, and then said: "My surname is Xia, you can call me Brother Xia, can you tell me, what is your name?" ”

Ding Keke held Chen Bai's hand a little harder, but he didn't speak immediately.

Chen Bai felt the strength of Ding Keke's small hand and said, "Her name is Ding Keke." ”

Hearing this, Xia Jiaoxi stood up, but at the same time kept smiling and nodded to Ding Keke.

At this time, Tang Shu also walked towards the three of them, still dressed in that dress.

After approaching the three of them, Tang Shu hugged his fist at Chen Bai and said, "Brother Chen, thank you for your help last night. ”

Chen Bai was holding Ding Keke, but he didn't return the salute, but just smiled and said to Tang Shu: "Brother Tang doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Tang Shu nodded when he heard this, and then said to Chen Bai: "Brother Chen, the hostel is always a little inconvenient, the mansion master invites you and Xia Jiaoxi to live in the mansion of the mansion. ”

Chen Bai did not answer.

Tang Shu had already sensed Chen Bai's cautious personality yesterday, so he continued: "We, the Tang family and the mansion master, are all people of the lord of the country, but with Brother Xia's mandate, this mansion of the mansion can be lived. ”

When Chen Bai heard this, it was not easy to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Brother Tang for your kindness, I will take my sister to buy a few clothes, and I will come over later." ”

Tang Shu glanced at the little girl, nodded, and then hugged his fist at Chen Bai and left.

.….….…

Although there is sunshine, it is almost autumn, and the sky is very cool.

Coco's clothes are not thin, but they look a little small.

Chen Bai noticed this problem early on, but all the money was on Xia Jiaoxi, and he could only take Xia Jiaoxi to shop together like now.

Along the way, Xia Jiaoxi bought Ding Keke a lot of snacks and gadgets, but Ding Keke never showed joy.

The little hand holding Chen Bai did not let go.

.….….…

Lan's shop is mainly engaged in silk and cloth skin, and is also engaged in other industries.

Therefore, Xia Jiaoxi brought Chen Bai to the shop of the Lan Chamber of Commerce.

Chen Bai almost concluded that the person who attacked and killed him some time ago was related to the Lan Chamber of Commerce. It's just that I don't have time now, and I don't have the ability to "return the gift".

Therefore, when he entered the Lan family's shop, he also pretended to be indifferent, and let Xia Jiaoxi choose clothes for Cocoa.

Get out of the Lan Chamber of Commerce's shop. I happened to see the girl who set up a stall at the entrance of Zhangtai Street yesterday on the side of the road, so I thought about returning the flute.

The girl was still dressed as a man, and she was talking to someone.

Chen Bai took Ding Keke forward, took out the flute, and beckoned: "This little brother, the flute will be returned to you." ”

When the girl heard this, she interrupted the conversation with the person, turned her head to look at Chen Bai, and then was attracted by Ding Keke, and hurriedly walked up to Ding Keke, squatted down, pinched Ding Keke's face and said, "What a cute bun." ”

Chen Bai knew that she was a girl, and he didn't care.

Ding Keke was not disgusted, but felt that the person in front of him was very kind.

Xia Jiaoxi frowned on the side, and wanted to step forward to stop it several times, but when he saw that Chen Bai didn't make a sound, he stopped thinking in his heart.

After a while, the girl got up, clasped her fists at Chen Bai and saluted, and then said, "Your name is Hong San'er, and I haven't asked Your Excellency for your surname." ”

"Chen Bai." Chen Bai took Ding Keke and did not return the salute, but just nodded.

After speaking, Chen Bai handed over the flute in his hand.

Hong San'er didn't take it, but glanced at the flute and said, "I don't have enough money now, let's put it here with Brother Chen first, and I'll pick it up in two days." ”

Where would Chen Bai believe this set of rhetoric, shook his head and said: "The money is not needed, and please ask Brother Hong to take the flute back." ”

Hong San'er still didn't react, but looked at Chen Bai with interest.

"It's not ugly, but what is so special about it that makes a blind man so worried." Hong San pondered in his heart.

Chen Bai saw that the girl in front of him had no intention of taking it back, so he had some guesses in his heart and wanted to verify it, so he said: "Brother Hong, if you don't take it back, the cost of putting it here is very high." ”

When Hong San'er heard this, he smiled teasingly and said, "Oh~"

"May I ask Brother Chen, how much is it a day?"

Chen Bai said: "Sure enough, I don't want to take it back." So he played with his flute and said, "One hundred silver, one day." ”

Hearing this price, the girl in front of her did not show a surprised expression, but thought for a while and said, "Okay, then it will trouble Brother Chen." ”

Chen Bai stared at the girl's eyes, the girl's eyes were very beautiful and watery, but Chen Bai didn't pay attention to this.

I saw Chen Bai take back the flute, and then hide the flute in his body in front of the girl.

The girl who had heard "one hundred silver a day" before was not unusual at all, and her eyes suddenly widened at this time, and she looked incredulous.

Chen Bai thought in his heart: "Sure enough, no wonder the force general didn't take the flute back last night, it seems that it is related to the instrument that he can contain the power general." ”

Seeing that Chen Bai had been staring at him, Hong San'er was suddenly a little flustered, but at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Little boy, do you want this Lu Tianzi?" ”

"This thing, but the price is one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and the price rises very quickly."

When the girl heard this, she quickly took the opportunity to turn her head and said, "If you want to, but can't you be cheaper?" ”

The person who had just spoken took out something similar to a carrot in his hand, half shorter than a normal carrot, and purple all over it, and spread it out in front of the girl and said, "This quality is only one silver, how can it be less." ”

After speaking, he withdrew his palm and turned away angrily.

Chen Bai turned his head, looked at Xia Jiaoxi on the side and asked, "Brother Xia, what is that?" ”

"Aphrodisiac." Xia Jiaoxi replied without thinking about it.

When Chen Bai heard this, he was very surprised: "What is a girl buying this thing for?" ”

Hong San'er didn't mind at all when he saw the vendors leaving, he just hid the shock in his heart, turned his head to look at Chen Bai and said with a smile: "Do you call Brother Chen, or Shui Changdong?" ”

"It's noon, can you invite the two of you to have a meal together?"

Hong San'er is indeed interested in Chen Bai, and he can contain the power of the general, this thing is too unbelievable.

Of course, it's just interest.

Chen Bai nodded indifferently, he also had some doubts that the girl in front of him needed to answer.

.….….…

Restaurants.

Hong San'er was not stingy and ordered a table of dishes.

Chen Bai didn't eat much himself, and only cared about serving Ding Coco.

Ding Keke was very well-behaved, burying his head in the bowl of food, but suddenly, tears couldn't stop falling into the bowl. Xu thought of her brother Ding Qing, who had never eaten such a good meal, and would never come back.

Chen Bai didn't speak, but patted Coco soothingly, and Hong San'er asked suspiciously, "Little sister, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Bai looked up at Hong San'er and motioned for her not to ask. In Chen Bai's opinion, it is better to cry.

It's just that Ding Keke still didn't cry, but the tears kept falling, Chen Bai hugged Ding Keke in his arms, but for a while, he fell asleep.

Chen Bai held Ding Keke in his arms in one hand and the vegetables in the other, and after a while, Ding Keke, who fell asleep in Chen Bai's arms, sobbed.

At this time, Xia Jiaoxi, who was sitting on the side, whispered to Hong San'er, who was sitting next to him, about Ding Qing he met on the road.

After Xia Jiaoxi finished speaking, Hong San'er looked at Chen Bai who was sitting opposite, his eyes were gentle, and he was not ready to be pretentious, but looked at Chen Bai and asked directly: "May I ask Brother Chen, who is the teacher?" ”

"Abandon it." I only heard Chen Bai answer softly, but the action of holding vegetables in his hands did not stop.

When Hong San'er heard this, he was also very shocked, because this first general had disappeared for twenty years, and he didn't expect to meet his disciples here.

When he became famous, Hong San'er was not yet born.

Hong San'er thought in his heart: "If it is abandoned, it really deserves the word "cheap". ”

Hong San'er just felt that the blind man was right, but it didn't mean that she would agree.

Chen Bai saw that the girl in front of him did not continue to speak, so he put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked, "Brother Hong, just now on the street, when I put the flute in my body, I was very surprised to see your appearance, is there anything wrong?" ”

Hong San'er rolled her eyes and said to Chen Bai: "Brother Chen, what's wrong with that, it's a big mistake." ”

Seeing Chen Bai's puzzled look, Hong San'er shouted in his heart: "God, what did such a legendary figure as Abandonment teach?" ”

Although he was slandered in his heart, he still opened his mouth to explain: "Brother Chen, if you want to take the power general's device, there are two conditions. ”

"One, the force will take the initiative to cut off the connection between the Destiny Star and the device, that is, the font on the concealer."

"Second, you need a powerful qi in your body."

"Or, the cultivation is above the power general."

"Those who meet these two conditions are called force generals' handler walking."

When Chen Bai heard this, he also reacted instantly, no wonder Hong San'er reacted so much when he picked up the flute at the entrance of Zhangtai Street at that time.

Without waiting for Chen Bai to speak, Hong San'er continued to ask: "Brother Chen, do you know that the organ that can be contained in the body can only be your own, or it can be cultivated to someone below yourself?" ”

Speaking of this, Hong San'er seemed to suddenly think of something, stared at Chen Bai with wide eyes and said, "Could it be that you are also a strong general?" Or are you just urging it to abandon? ”

Hearing this, Chen Bai shook his head and said, "Thank you, Brother Hong, for your doubts, Master really didn't mention this." ”

What Hong San'er said really made Chen Bai vigilant, and he thought in his heart: "Fortunately, that blind man will not have a holiday with the master, otherwise it would be dangerous." ”

"It seems that we will have to be more careful in the future."

At this time, the person who had been talking to Hong San'er on the street also entered the restaurant.

Seeing Hong San'er, his face was overjoyed, and he came over and said to Hong San'er: "Little brother, I asked you to buy it just now, but you didn't buy it, you see how long it has been, and Lu Tianzi has already risen to two silver." ”

When Hong San'er heard this, he looked at the visitor jokingly and said, "You know, I want a lot of money, is there a discount?" ”

I saw that the man hurriedly shook his head and said, "Little boy, don't talk about discounts anymore, and I won't sell them if the price is increased now." ”

After speaking, he looked at Hong San'er and shook his head with a smile, and then went to sit down and order food on the side.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Bai didn't have too many thoughts, thinking that maybe it was because of the scarcity of things.

So he asked Xia Jiaoxi on the side: "Brother Xia, is Lu Tianzi very unusual?" ”

Hearing this, Xia Jiaoxi shook his head and replied: "It's not unusual, you can buy a lot of copper in Langshan Yi." ”

"If you have to say something strange, maybe you were born in the grassland."

"Oh~", Chen Bai raised his eyebrows, and began to be a little interested.

At this time, Hong San'er suddenly winked at Chen Bai and said softly, "Brother Chen thinks there is a problem here?" ”

Chen Bai nodded when he heard this, and said: "The value gap is too large, either because of the shortage of goods, or because someone deliberately speculates and raises prices. ”

Price gouging, this word made Hong San'er's eyes light up, and he hurriedly asked: "May I ask Brother Chen, what are the consequences of price gouging?" ”

In order to thank Hong San'er for mentioning the device just now, Chen Bai said: "Does Brother Hong want to hear simple consequences or serious consequences?" ”

When Hong San'er heard this, he became interested in it instantly, and quickly got up, sat next to Chen Bai, and said, "Brother Chen, I want to hear it." ”

Chen Bai gently patted Ding Keke in his arms with his hand, while thinking, and after a long while, he said: "The simple consequence is that those who really need it can't afford it, which will restrict the circulation of goods. ”

"In addition, in the next year, the amount of planted or excavated Lu Tianzi will increase, and the price will fall, which will lead to the loss of income from the source."

Hearing this, Hong San'er frowned lightly and nodded thoughtfully.

Chen continued: "If it is turned into an investment product, the worst case scenario will lead to the damage of the entire country's economy. ”

At this time, Hong San'er couldn't sit still a little and wanted to ask what kind of situation would become like this, but seeing that Chen Bai didn't finish speaking, he held back and didn't speak.

After a few more breaths, Chen Bai said: "The worst and worst result is that if the price continues to rise, the demand will increase greatly, and the cultivation will increase on a large scale, resulting in the destruction of the food chain and soil erosion. ”

As soon as Chen Bai's words fell, he saw Hong San'er stand up suddenly, salute Chen Bai with a strange expression, and then turned around and left, not even paying for the meal.
