"Really?" Kuang Bao couldn't believe it, but he still turned around and came to Lin Shuran, "Then how much silver can you give?" If you want, I still have it at home, as long as you are willing to give me fifty taels of silver, these are all for you, I will not lie to you, these are the precious seeds that my father found from the sea, and you can't find them anywhere else. ”

Kuang Bao opened the black cloth bag and let Lin Shuran take a closer look, he was afraid that Lin Shuran would be too expensive, so he immediately changed his words and said: "Otherwise, thirty taels will do, but I don't know these seeds, and I don't know how to plant them, if you plant something and kill someone, it has nothing to do with me." ”

When he said this, Kuang Bao was a little weak-hearted, his father was a treasure hunter under Pei Shao, the big boss of the wild market, and he usually followed the sea to find some strange wild things, and sometimes he didn't go home for several years, and his father also liked to collect some seeds that he hadn't seen every time he went to a place, and when he got home, he wanted to plant to see if he could survive outside the island, and he thought that the first time he planted something he ate to death, since then his father no longer tries to plant those seeds, but purely collects and plays.

"Okay, then you take me to your house first, if the seeds are not good, I don't want it!" Lin Shuran was overjoyed in her heart, just a few seeds in this black cloth bag had already made her overjoyed, and she didn't know what surprises were waiting for her at Kuang Bao's home.

So, Lin Shuran followed Kuang Bao to his house, his home is in a village near the gate of the western suburbs of Beijing, the third home at the entrance of the village is Kuang Bao's home, the earth and stone house is a little dilapidated, the yard is not small, and there are a few fruit trees planted, but as soon as you enter the courtyard, you can smell a very strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, a girl who looks about the same age as Ping'er is boiling medicine, and she is surrounded by four or five children of different ages.

Kuang Bao said that those were his children, and his wife was sick and lying on the bed, so it was difficult to come out to meet people, and then he took Lin Shuran to a room in the east, pointed to a low tank in the room and said: "The rare seeds that my father found when he went to sea are all here, and they are all sold to you!" ”

Kuang Bao had eagerness and worry in his eyes, he was afraid that Lin Shuran would suddenly decide not to want these seeds, after all, even his father didn't know what these seeds were, but he just felt that they were rare and rare to collect and put them back, some of them had been put away for many years, and even had worms, and these good ones were picked up and stored in this tank.

Lin Shuran opened the cylinder and looked at it, and was really happy in her heart, this Kuang Bao's father is really a capable person, there are a lot of baby seeds in it, and she quickly closed the cylinder head.

"Thirty taels?" Lin Shuran looked at Kuang Bao again and asked deliberately.

Kuang Bao thought that she was not very satisfied after seeing the seeds, thinking that the treasure in her father's eyes might be worthless in the eyes of others, otherwise people like Pei Shao with poisonous eyes would not put these seeds in their eyes, and Pei Shao would not look down on them, which means that this kind of seed is really useless.

The little boy in front of him may be inexperienced and illiterate, thinking that he has never seen it, so he feels strange, he is afraid that Lin Shuran will regret it, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Thirty taels, it can't be less, it's difficult to find a second copy of these seeds in the world." ”

"Since your home can be found, there are naturally others in this world who can find it!" Lin Shuran was not coaxed by Kuang Bao, but going to sea to find it would inevitably cost huge manpower, material and financial resources, and now that there are ready-made ones, she naturally won't miss it, "Thirty taels is thirty taels, but you still have to keep this money for your mother's treatment, if you lose the bet, there will really be nothing." ”

"No more betting, no more betting!" Kuang Bao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that Lin Shuran was unwilling to spend thirty taels to buy it, and he panicked to find another bag to put the seeds in the jar for her, but Lin Shuran said that she even asked for the jar together, "Okay, this jar will be given to you!" ”

Kuang Bao rubbed his hands happily, he owed thirty taels of silver to Quansheng Casino, and now he could save his life again, he decided to go to the casino to repay the money as soon as he got the silver, and never gamble again.

Lin Shuran happened to have silver on her, she took out thirty taels and gave it to Kuang Bao, planning to order Honggu, who was secretly following, to move the jar to the southern suburbs of the grange first.

When she walked out of the door, she saw that Kuang Bao's children were looking at her with a curious face, and Kuang Bao took the silver and was in a hurry to go out, he said to his eldest daughter Kuang Liu'er: "Liu'er, Dad just sold your grandfather's seeds to this son, Dad is rich, Dad will go to pay back the account of the gambling house, and never gamble again, you wait for Dad to come back!" ”

Kuang Liu'er wanted to stop him and said: "Dad, you said the same thing last time, when you get to the gambling house, you will change, and you will gamble with the silver, and your mother is already very sick, you must hurry up to find a doctor, otherwise, you give me a few taels of silver first, I will take my mother to the doctor first, and there is nothing to eat at home." ”

Unexpectedly, Kuang Bao flicked his sleeves and said: "The people in Quansheng Gambling House are fierce, last time I paid a tael of silver, they almost beat me to death, this time the shopkeeper said, not a penny less, otherwise I will sell you to the brothel, and your mother's illness will wait a little longer." ”

After speaking, Kuang Bao took the silver and left without looking back, leaving only Kuang Liu'er with a sad and helpless face and a few sallow-faced children.

At this time, Lin Shuran walked out of the room, she wanted Kuang Bao to help her move the seed tank to a nearby town first, so that she could find a carriage to transport the seeds back, but Kuang Bao, who got the silver, was preoccupied with the gambling house, so before she came out, the person was gone.

Lin Shuran shook his head, the Kuang family seemed to have reached the point of exhaustion, there were still a few heavy muffled coughs in the main house, and several children with yellow faces and thin muscles looked at her pitifully and timidly.

"This son, how are you going to bring those things back? Why don't I carry you to town? Kuang Liu'er seemed to be aware of Lin Shuran's embarrassment, the low tank in the house was not light, and the other party looked weak and weak, and it was estimated that he couldn't move.

Similarly, Lin Shuran also felt that Kuang Liu'er in front of her was thin and had no strength, she shook her head, Honggu was nearby, as long as she said hello, it was not difficult to take things away.

She raised her eyes and carefully swept the front yard of Kuang's house, except for a few fruit trees, nothing else was planted, so she asked Kuang Liu'er: "Girl, do you have any other seeds from overseas?" Have you ever planted your own? ”

Kuang Liu'er shook her head honestly and replied: "The seeds that grandpa has found over the years are all in that vat, and my father packed some in a cloth bag yesterday, because I don't know if the things that grow from these seeds are poisonous, and grandpa has not allowed us to plant them since very early times." ”

The ancient people did not pay attention to the method of planting, and always sprinkled the seeds and let them grow freely, Lin Shuran just felt strange, since the Kuang family had so many rare seeds in their hands, why not try to plant one? Could there be any other reason?
