Chapter 18: A Knife Strikes
In this way, Ye Qingzhou easily sold all kinds of fruits and vegetables he planted at a high price.
Lin Zhixiao, the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, personally sent Ye Qingzhou out of the restaurant, and even took the initiative to send him back to the village in his own carriage, but Ye Qingzhou politely refused.
"Old Madam Ye, let's talk about today's matter!" Before the two parted, Lin Zhixiao, the shopkeeper, confirmed with Ye Qingzhou again.
Ye Qingzhou shook the heavy deposit in his hand and said with a smile: "Naturally." ”
This scene was seen by Boss Wu of Tianfeng Building opposite, and he didn't forget to tease the two people next to him that Drunken Xianlou was really exhausted.
Ye Qingzhou glanced at the sky and felt that it was still early, and the eldest daughter-in-law would not come back so early when she returned to her parents' house, so she continued to wander around the shops on the street.
Whether it is seeing the windmills and sugar men that children like, or the rouge gouache and silk that girls like, or the poems, books and wine that men love, she has to buy some of them if Ye Qingzhou likes them.
Fortunately, Ye Qingzhou's space has been completely repaired and can accommodate everything in the world.
Otherwise, with her old body at the moment, I'm afraid she won't be able to carry these things at all.
After wandering around the market, Ye Qingzhou looked at the shop at the end of the street that sold all kinds of seeds and seedlings, and stepped in.
She picked and chose in the store, and after buying everything she needed, she could still notice that the two people who had been following her all the time had not left.
"Old man, there are too many of these seeds, or you can't wait for you to plant some and buy them again." The shopkeeper is also a kind-hearted person, lest the old woman in front of her buy so many things at once, and in the current season of great land drought, if she does not live, she will lose all her money.
"Thanks for the reminder." After Ye Qingzhou thanked him, he still put all the things he had selected before into his bamboo basket, paid the money and walked out of the store and turned into the alley on the side.
Behind her, two young men immediately followed.
"Old thing! If you want to live, take out all the money! The man in a gray robe with a black cloth around his face slammed his fist into the wall beside him.
Another man surrounded by a black cloth immediately pulled out the knife in his hand and put it directly on Ye Qingzhou's neck, "Our brothers have followed you all the way, so if you know each other, you should quickly take out all the money." ”
Ye Qingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at the blade that was shining with cold light, and asked with a smile, "You see that I am all too old, is there any room for negotiation in this matter?" ”
In broad daylight, killing two people casually may cause a lot of panic to the people in the city.
Ye Qingzhou felt that this could be done, but it was not necessary.
"Leeway? Hahahaha...... "As if he had heard some funny joke, the man with the knife directly patted the wrinkled old face of the old woman in front of him with the back of the knife, and raised his hand to tear off the heavy bag of silver that she tied to her waist.
"Then you old woman should tell me first, what did you do in the Drunken Immortal Building just now? To get such a large sum of silver? The man with the knife shook the very heavy money bag in his hand, and felt more and more that there must be something in it.
Ye Qingzhou, who was slapped on the face with a knife for the first time, gradually cooled down with a smile on his face, "It's the first time I've seen someone use a stone as silver." ”
When the man with the knife heard this, he immediately put away the knife, opened the money bag with both hands, and sure enough, he saw that what was contained in it was not silver, but stones.
"Extra! You dead old woman, you dare to lie to Lao Tzu! The man slammed the bag of stones to the ground, and the knife in his hand slashed directly at Ye Qingzhou's body.
