Chapter 33: Gathering by Fate
After Liu Dali sneaked into the bedroom, he immediately closed the door and walked in the direction of the bed, only to find that there was no one on the bed!
He groped around the bed unconvincedly, it was empty, and he lay under the bed and reached out to touch it, but there was still no one, and no one was found in the whole bedroom.
There weren't a few clothes in the closet, so I couldn't hide people at all.
"What about people?"
Liu Dali hurriedly came to the bedside, and the window was locked from the inside, so the possibility of people jumping from the window could almost be ruled out.
Suddenly creepy.
The doors and windows were locked from the inside, but the people were gone......
"Hell!"
Liu Dali was so frightened that he ran away.
When the sound disappeared completely, Gu Rao came out of the space, checked the bedroom first, and found that there was nothing missing.
She sat on the bed, thinking in her heart that the man's voice was a little familiar, but because it was so ordinary, she couldn't remember where she heard it for a while.
How dare that man just pry the door in?
Is it to make sure that there is no one at home, or is it ......
No, the man knew that there were people in the family, and he should have known that she was the only woman in the family, and he was clearly looking for her just now, and the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.
Thankfully, she didn't fall asleep tonight, and if she did, maybe the man wouldn't know when he came in.
Gu Rao frowned, and decided to do some protective measures at home tomorrow, if that man dared to come at night again, he would definitely have a profound and unforgettable lesson!
-
I didn't sleep well last night, and I didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning today, and after I got up, I went to the space to mix a vegetable and fruit salad for lunch.
It was clear that she had long been accustomed to being alone, eating and sleeping alone, but on the first day she left, she felt a little unaccustomed.
Eating alone seems to be just a matter of dealing with it.
She didn't eat much anyway.
If Bee Ye is at home, she may still be interested in stir-frying a few more dishes, eating a little of everything herself, and the rest will go into Besino's stomach.
Thinking about it, Gu Rao realized that something was wrong.
She used to live alone, and she lived a very delicate life every day, and she never felt that she could deal with it casually by herself like just now!
What's wrong with you?
Gu Rao knocked her head and poured out the water that had gone in at some point.
Push open the courtyard door.
The lively street dispelled the short-term loneliness in Gu Rao's heart, locked the door, and went out alone with a basket.
-
Gu Rao walked into the largest pawnshop in the town.
He took out a pair of fishtail tassel gold earrings wrapped in embroidered handkerchiefs from the rattan basket, put them on the high counter, and said crisply, "Shopkeeper, help me see how much this can cost." ”
Gao Caitong saw that it was gold, and the whole person was in good spirits, took it with both hands and looked at it carefully, and checked the weight, knowing that it was made of pure gold.
"Dead or alive?"
Gu Rao asked, "How much is it to die, how much is it to live?" ”
Gao Cai General weighed the weight.
"Just one or two."
"If you live, I can give you a tael of silver first, and after the one-month period, you don't come to redeem it, and this pair of earrings is a pawnshop."
"If you die, I can give you five taels of silver."
Gu Rao frowned.
"The workmanship of these earrings is very fine, and the workmanship alone is more than five taels of silver."
Gao Caitong smiled when he heard this.
"The pawnshop is all at this price, and the five taels of silver I give you is already high."
"If you are reluctant, you can live, and after a month, you will pay back one tael of silver and fifty wen of interest, and the things can be returned to their original owners."
But in his heart, he was sure that this woman would definitely choose to die.
Generally, the people who come to the pawnshop are people who are in urgent need of money, and this woman is dressed plainly, and at first glance, the family can't live anymore, and she wants to exchange her previous jewelry for some money.
I don't have any money now, but I will have money in a month?
Gu Rao took the gold earrings back.
"I'll go somewhere else and ask."
Gao Caitong's face was slightly stiff.
"We are the largest pawnshop in Wild Boar Town, if you don't believe it, just ask and know, other places can't afford our high price."
Gu Rao smiled politely.
"I'm just going to ask."
"If the price given elsewhere is lower than what you give, I will still come back, your pawnshop is here, and after a little delay, you won't grow a pair of legs and run away by yourself."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Seeing that people were really leaving, Gao Caitong waved his hand and made an expression of making less money.
"Forget it."
"Your jewelry is indeed exquisitely made, or a style that I haven't seen before, I want to be fresh, generous once, only earn you a handmade money, ten taels of silver to die, how about it?"
This is true, a tael of gold was originally worth only ten taels of silver.
Gu Rao sighed, looking like she had something to say.
"You may not believe it."
The corners of Gao Caitong's mouth twitched slightly, don't say it if you know that he doesn't believe it!
Gu Raocai didn't care about Gao Caitong's thoughts, and said to herself, "Before my family fell into the middle of the road, my father was an official, and this pair of earrings was made by court craftsmen, which is extremely rare on the market, and the handiwork fee is ten times the price of gold itself. ”
Gao Caitong, "......"
Ten times, there must be a limit to bragging!
Gu Rao's hand holding the gold earrings shrank, her eyes were filled with three memories, three guilt, and four hesitations.
"This pair of gold earrings is a gift from my father to me, and now my father is not around, if I take this seriously, when I miss him in the future, I won't even have something to look at ......and miss."
"Am I really going to sell it?"
Gao Caitong, "......"
Reluctant to sell you to the pawnshop?
Master, this is a master!
Looking at her unworldly face, I thought she was a wronged man, but I didn't expect that an old fox like him would be able to act, so he almost believed it!
It's all a thousand-year-old fox, and he didn't bother to pretend anymore, so he pulled his face and said coldly, "Don't say it, eleven taels of silver." If you are willing, you will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and if you are not willing, you can go elsewhere and tell the story of you and your father by yourself, and see if they will give you an extra penny. ”
Gu Rao's smile was like a flower.
"Deal!"
"The boss is a cheerful person, if I have any good things to do in the future, I will definitely come back to you."
Gao Caitong took the earrings in his hand, gave Gu Rao eleven taels of silver, and signed the death deed in duplicate, so he waved his hand to Gu Rao impatiently.
"Even the gift of the curtain, what other good things can you have?"
"Come on."
"If there is really a good thing, I will give you a sincere price directly, so that you will be tired of making up stories, and I will be tired of listening to my ears."
-
With a huge sum of eleven taels of silver, Gu Rao felt a lot more at ease, so she first went to the lock shop and bought five copper locks, one was used to lock the courtyard door, and the rest was kept for backup.
Then I went to the grocery store, the blacksmith shop, the carpenter's shop, and the rice grain shop to buy some pots and pans, brooms, baskets, tables, chairs, stools, and other furniture.
If you buy a lot of things, there will be a guy to deliver it to your door when the time comes.
It's still early.
Gu Rao walked around the street for a while, and the delicacies sold on the street probably include steamed buns, noodles, sugar gourds, baked cakes, bean curd, called flower chicken, rice cakes, osmanthus cakes, red date cakes, pine nut sugar, maltose......
