"This poor scholar has made a fortune! Just now I saw him go to the clothes shop, buy so many books, and come to buy meat...... I'm afraid of a few taels of silver...... "A tall splash skin glanced at the pork shop and pondered.

I wondered if there was any benefit to be fished.

"Not only is he rich, did you see the little lady beside him? Although he covers his face, he looks like a beautiful embryo, and his skin is still white and tender, and he is not raised by ordinary people at first glance, maybe he is a lady. Let me sleep in my arms for a few months, and I will be happy to live for a few years. The short one next to him squeezed his eyebrows and smiled.

"Before, this poor scholar's family died, and he was the only one left, and I don't know where to pick up such a little lady."

As soon as he said this, the tall splash immediately became interested: "I don't know where I picked it up?" ”

"I haven't seen them on these streets before." The short one pondered.

"Otherwise, it's from a big family, and I don't know how to take a fancy to this scholar and elope with him. Normal big families definitely don't look down on such a poor scholar, and people want to recruit a son-in-law to recruit a talent. ”

"Either the sister in the Qinglou redeemed herself and followed him with a dowry. Don't all storytellers say that? Otherwise, why did this poor scholar suddenly become rich, buy clothes and meat, and buy so many books? ”

The short splash skin analysis is quite organized.

"Do you want to sleep with that little lady?" The tall splash asked suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

"Let's see where they go back in a while, touch them at night and kill the scholar, take the little lady away to play for a few days, and then get a kiln to sell in the field." The tall man whispered.

"Now that we're making trouble with monsters, when the time comes, take away the scholar's internal organs, people think it's a monster to eat, how can we find it?"

"Regardless of whether the little lady eloped or the sister who redeemed herself in the Qinglou, there must be a lot of silver in her hand now, and we can both make a fortune when the time comes."

The two splashed skins glanced at each other and smiled.

Anyway, it's very chaotic now, no one dares to go out when it gets dark, and no one knows that the two of them did it.

As for what to do if you run into that monster...... Qingyang County is so big, how can it be so unlucky?

At least one person can divide a few dozen taels on this trip......

A private school gentleman earns only a dozen taels a year, and ordinary people earn less than ten taels a year, which is enough to eat, drink and have fun for a long time.

……

"Childe, you go to read a book, the slave family goes to cook."

"Take off your clothes and put them aside, and the slave family will wash them after cooking."

As soon as she returned to the yard, Yan Ruyu carried the meat to the kitchen with brisk steps.

On the contrary, it was Gu Sheng, who walked for so long, carried a book, and sat in the room for a long time.

Gu Sheng looked at his arm, it was really thin like a hemp stick, and the wind blowing was not an exaggeration, but an accurate description.

I used to go out of the stall every day with a thin wooden board and four table legs on my back, and I was tired enough to go back and forth.

Now that there is no shortage of money, you have to raise your body first.

After a moment's rest, Gu Sheng picked up the thinnest copy of "Southwest Yi Xingji" and began to read.

This book was written thousands of years ago, and it is not very famous, there is only one book in the bookstore, and I don't know how long it has been placed, and the pages are yellowed terribly.

It is mainly about the experience of a person named Liu You in a country called "Southwest Yi".

And this country, long since perished.

In addition to describing the country's cultural customs, the book also has a large number of mountains, rivers, landforms, hydrological and climatic descriptions, depicting a mysterious and strange southwestern territory.

Gu Sheng looked at it and fell in.

"Childe, it's time to eat."

It wasn't until Yan Ruyu woke up Gu Sheng that Gu Sheng put down the book unsatisfied.

Dinner is still small rice, but there are two meat dishes, one is broth, and the other is stir-fried meat with green vegetables, because there is only salt, the taste is not too good, but Gu Sheng is also very satisfied.

At least there is meat to eat.

It's much better than the other day when I couldn't even see the oil and water.

Pulling a bite of small rice, feeling the rough miscellaneous rice crossing his throat, Gu Sheng said, "Remember to remind me to buy some white rice tomorrow." ”

"Okay!" Yan Ruyu said with some excitement.

"Childe, is it a slave to buy it?"

"I'd better go, it's not safe around here, you're too attention-grabbing." Gu Sheng shook his head.

There are a total of 16 squares in Qingyang County, which are divided into eight upper and lower eight squares.

There are many rich people in the upper eight squares, while the lower eight squares are all civilians and poor people, and the law and order are not much better.

Let's not talk about stealing chickens and dogs, and it's not uncommon for gangs to bully and dominate the market.

There are also cases of children and girls being taken captive.

If it weren't for making clothes today, he wouldn't be going to take Yan Ruyu out.

"Oh!" Yan Ruyu thought for a while and said: "Then the slave family will repair the house tomorrow, and the slave family will see that the roof is leaking rain in some places, the windows are also leaking, and the door will also be repaired." ”

"Will you do this?" Gu Sheng was a little surprised.

Yan Ruyu was stunned, a little uncertain, and said, "It should be quite simple, right?" ”

"Forget it, I'll talk about it when I get back." Gu Sheng shook his head, he felt that he was better than Yan Ruyu.

If you really can't do it, just hire a carpenter to come and fix it.

"Tomorrow, you will see if there are any earth dragons in the field, and collect them together after finding them."

"Childe, what are you looking for that?" Yan Ruyu asked curiously.

"See if you can raise it, and if you can, you can use it to feed the chickens." Gu Sheng said.

"Childe said yes, then it must be okay." Yan Ruyu affirmed.

After dinner, Gu Sheng went back to continue reading, and Yan Ruyu went to sit next to Gu Sheng after washing his clothes, watching him read quietly.

I have to say that when I smell the faint fragrance coming from my side, I can see a pair of eyes like autumn water when I turn my head.

This red-sleeved fragrance night reading is really fascinating.

Gu Sheng was about to rub his eyes every once in a while, flustered by the oil smoke.

I thought to myself that tomorrow I would like to buy an oil lamp with water to filter the smoke.

This kind of first was a palace lamp, and later it came out, and ordinary people could buy it, but the price was very expensive, and he couldn't afford it before.

"It's getting late, isn't Childe resting?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"You close the front and back windows, plug the doors as well, and go to rest. I'll look at it a little longer. "Gu Sheng now urgently needs to find some ways to improve his strength from the book and protect himself.

He longed to spend twelve hours a day reading books.

After all, there are youkai killing people in the city at night, and the surrounding environment is not safe.

"That boy also rests early."

In the middle of the night, Gu Sheng turned to the last page, read word by word, and thought about the meaning of the sentence from time to time.

"Click"

A thumb-sized, crystal like jade, with a few blood lines on his body, fell in front of Gu Sheng.

It looks a bit like a cicada.

Gu Sheng thought for a moment, and then was a little unsure.

"It's ...... Nine-year-old cicada? ”

……

It is said in "Southwest Yi Xingji" that there is a cicada called Jiuling in Xianyan, which will die every nine years, and will be resurrected after a month, and after being resurrected nine times, it will turn into an auspicious bird and fly to Nanshan.

Nanshan is the place where the Virgin of Nanshan is said to be the residence of the Virgin of Nanshan in Southwest Yi.

It is precisely because of this characteristic of the nine-year-old cicada that the Southwest Yi people believe that the fairy rock has a mysterious power that can bring people back from the dead, and this place has become the cemetery of the Southwest Yi people.

And this ninth-year-old cicada, every time it dies, it will lose a layer of jade-like shell, and after eating, it can be strong and long-lived.

It is said that a tribal leader ate a cicada, lived for more than 100 years, and led the tribe to fight with people when he was finally more than 100 years old, and died of exhaustion after killing 100 people in a row.

Because of this legend, each generation of leaders in the southwest will send someone to find the nine-year-old cicada, and the result is that everything can be found except the nine-year-old cicada.

In particular, you can always find all kinds of auspiciousness.
