Chapter 56: The Origin of the Wooden Beads
After the beads were buckled together, Mo Changtian found that the holes on the strings of the smaller beads and the patterns on the larger beads on the outside were integrated.
The entrance to this cave is like a pearl in the mouth of the Vermilion Bird pattern.
Suzaku is a totem that can only be used by the royal family of Hongguo in the previous dynasty.
Mo Changtian led the troops to fight in the previous life, to suppress the remnants of the previous dynasty, and he also knew a thing or two about the affairs of the previous dynasty.
The remnants of the previous dynasty had some connections at the border pass, and once embraced the prince of Hongguo who he found out of nowhere as the emperor, trying to overthrow the Canglan State and restore the former glory of the Hongguo.
The reason why Mo Changtian recognized this thousand-year-old tree was because he had seen tree trunks with the same texture in his treasure house after he suppressed this group of chaotic parties in his previous life.
Mo Changtian's hand pinching the beads became harder and harder, his eyelids suddenly jumped a few times, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Damn, his mother shouldn't have anything to do with the royal family of the previous dynasty!
"Guest, guest officer, do you still want to buy this wooden bead?" The peddler saw that Mo Changtian's body was becoming more and more terrifying, and he stammered.
"How much?" Mo Changtian raised his eyes and looked at the vendor.
Seeing that the other party really liked this bead, the peddler wanted to raise the price, but he was a little scared in his heart, and hesitated for a moment before he tentatively spoke: "It's not expensive, only twenty Wen." ”
"It's expensive." Mo Changtian said lightly, and quoted another price: "Five cents, I'll buy it." ”
"No way, no way!"
The peddler was a little afraid of the person in front of him, after all, the other party was tall and strong, and a punch to him would make him hurt for a long time, but the five cents were too low.
Although the beads were picked up by him, they belonged to a business without capital, but for five cents, it was better not to sell them.
"At least ten cents, otherwise there is no need to talk about it!" The peddler plucked up his courage and reached out with a straight face to grab the beads that Mo Changtian had in hand.
As soon as his words fell, his hand reached over and didn't touch the beads, when he heard Mo Changtian say: "Deal!" ”
Looking at the other party's decisive appearance, the vendor felt that he had lost a lot for a moment!
Obviously he looks like an honest man, how can he be so good at bargaining?!
But the quotation has been said, and it is too late to regret it.
When giving money, Mo Changtian asked about the source of the beads very casually.
The peddler is not a person who can control his mouth, he stared at Mo Changtian's copper plate's hand, and subconsciously said:
"I won't hide it from you, this bead was picked up by the city god outside the county yesterday, this must be a blessing given to me by the city god, you don't lose ten cents to buy it!"
"There is a City God Temple outside Qingyun County?" Mo Changtian asked as he counted the copper plates.
"Yes, go out from the east gate and walk a mile to get there."
The peddler answered Mo Changtian's question and happily reached out to catch the copper plate.
After counting the number of copper plates and confirming that it was ten, he put it away.
"Does the little brother also want to try his luck at the City God Temple?" After earning the other party's money, the hawker's name for Mo Changtian has become a lot closer.
Mo Changtian let out an unclear "um" and turned to leave.
The rice grain shop was in the west, which happened to be the opposite direction to the east, and he actually wanted to go to the City God Temple in the hawker's mouth.
But Shen Qiushui and the two little guys were still waiting for him, he had to hurry over, lest they wait in a hurry, the City God Temple would not run, and it would be too late to go at any time.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly put away the wooden beads and ran to the alley to the west.
Shen Qiushui's side.
Since Mo Changtian left, Shen Qiushui led the two little guys in the direction of the grain store.
Mo Dong Mo Yu is so big, let alone the county seat, even the town has never been there, the last time he was tied up, he was stunned the whole time, where have I seen such a lively scene.
Mo Yu's small hand pulled Shen Qiushui tightly, his body was almost close to Shen Qiushui, and his eyes looked around curiously.
Mo Dong was similar, most of the things sold on both sides of the road he had never seen before, which made him feel very novel.
"Mother, what's that?!" Mo Yu tugged at Shen Qiushui's hand and asked, pointing to one place.
Shen Qiushui looked towards where Mo Yu was pointing.
It was an old grandfather, sitting on the side, weaving something from palm leaves, and it was vaguely clear that it was a dragonfly, and there were many bamboo baskets for sale beside him.
"Does Yu'er want it?" Shen Qiushui retracted his gaze and looked at Mo Yu.
When the two children come to the county for the first time, they can buy them something they like.
Yu'er tilted her head and thought about it, shook her head, and pouted: "It's still not good, you can only watch it and not eat it, it's not good." ”
"People are small and big, I didn't expect Yu'er to be so frugal at your young age, and you know how to only buy food." Shen Qiushui was amused by such a cute appearance, and clicked on the tip of Mo Yu's pink nose, dispelling the idea of buying toys for the two.
Mo Yu looked up proudly.
Shen Qiushui pulled the two children and walked towards the bun shop in front.
After Shen Qiushui inquired, he learned that there are three types of steamed buns in this steamed bun shop: steamed buns, vegetable buns, and meat buns.
steamed buns cost two pennies a piece;
vegetable buns for three pennies;
Meat buns cost five cents a piece.
This price is still within Shen Qiushui's acceptable range, and it is the first time she has bought these things to eat after wearing them for so long.
"Buns can be eaten, buy buns." Shen Qiushui bent down and smiled and said to the two children.
The two children had seen Mo Dabao eat steamed buns, and it was said that the steamed buns were delicious, and when they heard that their mothers wanted to buy them, they immediately looked at them and swallowed their saliva.
The longing gaze of the two children can't deceive people, and it seems that they really like it.
She asked the steamed bun seller to take five meat buns and two steamed buns.
The buns look very big, and it is enough for the whole family to eat one bun, Mo Changtian can't eat enough buns, and he can also eat two steamed buns.
After paying, Shen Qiushui took the bun wrapped in soft dried lotus leaves.
After it cooled down, she first divided the meat buns for the two children, and she wrapped the rest and put it in the basket she carried on her back.
Mo Yu took the bun and saw that Shen Qiushui didn't have it in his hand, so he asked curiously, "Why doesn't my mother eat it?" ”
Mo Dong also looked at Shen Qiushui.
Being stared at by the two children, Shen Qiushui smiled and was about to explain, but heard Mo Dong say: "Is it that you don't buy enough buns, eat mine." ”
After saying that, he raised his little hand and handed over the bun.
rarely saw Mo Dong care about himself, and Shen Qiushui suddenly wanted to tease him.
Shen Qiushui took the bun in Mo Dong's hand, opened his mouth to bite, but stopped and looked at Mo Dong.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
Mo Dong swallowed his saliva, looked at Shen Qiushui with his eyes, and hurriedly looked away when he saw her looking towards him.
Mo Dong shook his head: "If you don't want to eat it, let my mother eat it." ”
"Yes, my mother eats it, and Yu'er's is also eaten by my mother!" Mo Yu also hurriedly handed it over, for fear that he would be late, and Shen Qiushui would only remember Mo Dong's.
Shen Qiushui just wanted to tease the two children, but when she saw the scene of the two competing for her buns, she should have been happy for the filial piety of the two children, but she was really not happy, her heart was choked, and her emotions were very complicated.
