CHAPTER XXV
It turns out that the human heart is really fucking blacker than this robe.
The moment Xiao Yu rushed out, he knew that he had succeeded, and dusted his lips and whiskers with his dirty and crooked long nails, and then pulled the messy and sparse gray beard on his chin, and smiled dryly, revealing a few teeth like Maifan stones, which became more and more trivial and suspicious.
The peddler glanced at Xiao Yu, who was holding the parrot tightly, and then at Li Xiao, who was stubborn. With a mouthful of big yellow teeth, he spit out two words: "Ten taels!" ”
"You bird is golden? Why don't you grab it! Before Li Xiao could speak, Li Hu jumped up.
The peddler just glanced at Li Hu lightly, and knew that this kid was not the one who could call the shots. The sly eyes only rolled for a tenth of a second, and the face changed to a different face.
"Little brother, your sister likes it so much, you might as well buy it. It's only ten taels of silver, and it's not a big deal for you. For those of us who are small families, that's a big deal. The peddler said to Li Xiao, his face full of flattery. He tried to speak in civilized language, although he opened his mouth and a strong smell of breath made Li Xiao have to retreat.
"Two-two!" Li Xiao covered his nose and said two words at the same time, he really didn't have anything to say about such a thing. He wants to end this deal quickly!
He was obviously stunned, saliva hung on his beard, his little eyes were full of tears, and he whimpered: "Little brother! Going to die, going to die! My family has not eaten, I have six children, and my 80-year-old mother. The family really can't open the pot, the old lady is dying of hunger, and the child is sick, so the child's beloved bird is taken out and sold. You don't know how sad my big girl cried. Do good deeds, eight taels of silver, shall you? ”
A sad look, a pleading tone. The atmosphere was rendered to the extreme, and the tears flowed naturally.
Li Hu wiped his nose and glanced at his eldest brother secretly. As for Xiaoyu, she was already teary-eyed. I'm worried about the sister who lost her beloved playmate!
Your sister! If he hadn't caught a moment of cunning in the eyes of this thing, Li Xiao almost believed it. If this damn bastard had been acting, the little golden man would have come back a long time ago.
suffered a disaster, and there was no disaster in his mother's wind and rain this year. The biggest scourge in Liaodong is the Jurchens of the dog day. The most outrageous is the eighty-year-old lady, you have six children, this old man pinched his nose and recognized it. Don't make up an eighty-year-old lady, this kind of extremely unreasonable vocabulary is not successful, and I don't know what's wrong. As long as the guy begs for others, there is an eighty-year-old lady.
The last time Li Xiao heard someone say this, it was still in the signing room of the yamen of Liaoyang Mansion.
"Five taels of silver! Five taels of silver! Just when Li Xiao was about to bargain fiercely, suddenly the parrot spoke to himself.
Li Xiao's head twitched, and he looked at the parrot very carefully. Extremely suspicious that this guy has become a fairy, and he can buy a goblin for five taels of silver?
"Brother! You just buy it, he's so pitiful. Xiao Yu held the parrot in one hand, and tugged hard at the corner of Li Xiao's clothes with the other. The peddler very dogged and handed the chain forward, so that Li Yu could take the parrot closer to Li Xiao.
Five taels of silver, and the girl who sold herself with grass on the street was also at this price. Now that he has to spend five taels of silver to buy such a broken bird, how can Li Xiao feel panicked.
All economic laws and calculations were shattered by Xiao Yu's pitiful big eyes.
"Deal!" When these two words were spoken, Li Xiao was very suspicious of his mental state.
Hearing the eldest brother speak, the second Li Xiu happily paid the money to the vendor. Li Hu carried the cage together very angrily, and Li Hao looked at the parrot in Xiaoyu's hand. He wants to hug too!
The money is gone, and the deal is over! The siblings were gone, and after walking a long way, they could still hear the vulture-like laughter of the vendors.
"Big brother! Xiaoyu doesn't eat at night, don't be upset, okay! Xiaoyu grabbed the parrot like a chicken in one hand and held Li Xiao's hand in the other. Chu Chu's pitiful big eyes slanted forty-five degrees and looked at Li Xiao.
"It's okay, Xiaoyu just wants a bird, it's not a big deal. Wait for my brother to make money in the future, and buy you a big one. More than a foot high, such a large walnut bites open in one mouth. He patted Xiaoyu's head and tried to smile at Xiaoyu. I was very worried that the parrot, which was worth a big girl, would be caught dead by this child.
Just find the ingredients and make matches. Five taels of silver, it's really a small thing.
Among the raw materials for matches, the most important are phosphorus and sulfur. Li Xiao wandered around the market for a day, but he couldn't find these two things. Only after asking did I know that these two things are military supplies. The people don't sell it at all, and it's not ordinarily difficult to get this thing.
Finished! The plan to make a fortune was stillborn, and this was still five taels. When he finished eating, Li Xiao looked at the parrot worth a big girl and became angry. Why didn't I meet a ...... who sold a big girl, the girl who planted the grass and sold herself was so ugly. Li Xiao felt that he planted grass and sold himself, which was probably a helpless move by the family to clean up the inventory.
"Xiaobai, eat meat!" Xiaoyu carefully tore off a piece of mutton and put it into the parrot's mouth. Geritu left a slaughtered sheep, and thanks to the cold weather, he has been eating mutton for the past few days.
"Eat meat! Eat meat! "It's the voice of a parrot.
Little white ......! Li Xiao naturally thought of the famous puppy of Nohara Shinnosuke. This product is also covered in white hair, so it's called Xiaobai, so it's fucking called Xiaobai.
With the beginning, the back is confusing. After all, it's still a group of children, where is there anyone who doesn't like small animals. This one feeds a mouthful of rice, and that one feeds a mouthful of meat. The dinner table became a parrot's meal! It wasn't until Li Hu fed the parrot with the shredded meat that came out of his teeth that Li Xiao felt that this farce should be stopped.
"In the future, when it comes to eating, parrots...... Xiaobai put it in another room. Li Xiao had to make a rule, a table of children, even Li Hu didn't eat well. After taking a bite, he glanced back at Xiaobai on the shelf.
"Bad big brother, bad big brother!"
Li Xiao took off a shoe and threw it over, and the little white monster flew up with a scream. A few feathers fell in the air!
"Bad big brother, bad big brother!" Xiaobai stood on the beam of the house and called, I don't know when, the chain on its leg has been loosened.
Now Li Xiao has no choice, and keeps admonishing himself. He is a good young man with ideals and ambitions, and he can't be like a flat-haired beast.
Seeing that the eldest brother was deflated, Li Hu was very happy. Because of the boss's ferocity, he could only hold back, and the rice almost squirted out of his nose.
As a result, the sound was too loud, and Li Xiao knocked it on the head with chopsticks, and it turned red.
