11. Yokai
The next day, Qin Haitao took the Night Pearl to Niujiao Town to exchange for daily necessities, he first went to the pawnshop to exchange the Night Pearl for a silver ticket, and the pawn ticket in Niujiao Town has the function of a money bank. Then I happily went to buy a lot of things, Yaya's fine rice noodles, a product at home, and bought a few pieces of cloth, planning to make new clothes for the whole family. There are too many things that need to be added at home, there was no silver to buy before, but now that the silver is abundant, he naturally wants to buy more, and before he knows it, Qin Haitao can't fit the bamboo basket on his back, so he has to hire a carriage to carry it and go home humming a little song.
When passing by the door of Lu Ergou's house, he didn't want to be public, but Lu Ergou was serving the cactus and aloe vera he brought back from the Sand City at the door, saying that the cactus has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and the aloe vera is even more amazing, not only to strengthen the stomach and diarrhea, sterilization, and blood activation, but also to peel the skin and cut it into pieces and add japonica rice to make porridge, even the witch doctor of the Yangu clan said that this is a good thing, Lu Ergou naturally serves as a baby, even if he does not water it every day, he will stop and stare for a long time.
"Old Qin! What did you buy in the town today, and you actually pulled it back in a horse-drawn cart? Lu Ergou asked in surprise, yesterday Qin Haitao went to his house to borrow fine rice noodles, he asked Qin Haitao to exchange two loads of coarse rice in exchange, Qin Haitao couldn't take it out, it was only one night, why was it suddenly so generous?
"Oh! It's nothing, it's just some rice, flour, grain and oil and the like. Qin Haitao didn't stop, and replied lightly, Lu Ergou is a cunning philistine, if it is not necessary, he will not deal with Lu Ergou more.
Lu Ergou wanted to stop Qin Haitao to chat a few more words, but when he saw that Qin Haitao didn't stop the carriage, he knew that Qin Haitao was borrowing fine rice noodles for yesterday. Also, it is a bit too much to propose to exchange two loads of rice for just two small bowls of fine rice noodles.
It's not just excessive, it's just a blatant robbery. Qin Haitao Siwen, he didn't say it on his lips, but he remembered it in his heart.
The carriage kicked and pulled to Qin Haitao's yard, Zhao Yingzi heard the sound, and hurriedly came out of the back room with Yaya.
Lu Ergou couldn't help but be curious, and quietly followed behind, bending down and squatting in the corner to peek. The wall that Qin Haitao built with his own hands with clay was only half a person high, and it was only used to guard against livestock, and Lu Ergou had to bend down to peek.
How do you know that Lu Ergou sneakily looked at it, and almost fell out of his eyes in shock.
Zhao Yingzi hugged Yaya and looked down at the dazzling goods on the carriage, and smiled with joy. Lu Ergou's location is just right to see the whole picture of Yaya.
Oh! Lu Ergou was so frightened that he almost barked. Where did this monster come from? The eyes turned out to be purple! No, no, no, blue! No, no, no, it's still purple! Seeing that Qin Haitao hadn't finished unloading for a long time, Lu Ergou began to mumble in his heart again. Yesterday you couldn't even afford rice noodles, but today you are so generous, will you be able to spend money?
"Qin Haitao! You are so bold that you dare to steal! Lu Ergou jumped onto the low wall and yelled at Qin Haitao with his waist crossed.
Stealing from the Yangu tribe is a serious crime, and not only must you pay a fine, but you will also be imprisoned in a dungeon, and you will not be able to see your family for three years.
"When did I steal?" Qin Haitao stopped unloading and said indifferently: "It's you, who climbed my wall for no reason and attempted to steal." ”
"Hah! Good for you, Qin Haitao! Dare to hit a rake, wait! Lu Ergou jumped off the wall, and the wind ran towards the patriarch of the Yangu clan.
When the Samar patriarch heard Lu Ergou add oil and vinegar, he also felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly came to Qin's house, and saw that there was a carriage parked in Qin Haitao's yard, and there were still some items on the carriage that had not been unloaded.
"Young Sect Master! You went back to the clan last night? Although the Sama patriarch respectfully called Qin Haitao the sect master, he felt sorry for Qin Haitao in his heart, and it was quite unwise to break with the family for a woman. If it weren't for that, with Qin Haitao's ability and status as the eldest son, he would be the heir of the future sect master of the Qin family.
The people of Niujiao Town also knew about this, but Qin Haitao lived in Niujiao Town for five years, and no one in the family came to take care of it, so the people of Niujiao Town forgot about this stubble.
"Nope! It's just that a friend sent some silver to buy something for Yaya. "Patriarch Sama and Lu Ergou came to the humble house together, Qin Haitao naturally knew why, so without waiting for Patriarch Sama to ask, he first said the source of the silver.
"I see!" The Sama patriarch glared at Lu Ergou, and it was not surprising that with Qin Haitao's identity, he had a few generous friends. "Where's Yaya? I took it out and took a look, but I didn't have time to see the children when I settled down. ”
"This ...... The girl is asleep, sorry! Patriarch! Next time, next time I'll bring it to you personally. Qin Haitao hesitated for a moment, and then lied, although he and his wife were ready, but as a last resort, he didn't want his wife and Yaya to suffer irrelevant criticism.
Who would have thought that before he finished speaking, there was a baby's cry in the hut, and the Samar patriarch's face sank instantly, What's the matter, I've settled down for you, and you won't show me a look?
Qin Haitao secretly complained to himself, it was impossible to hide it anymore, so he had to step into the hut and take the girl out. "Just woke up, patriarch." He said that he would let the patriarch look at the child, but his hand grabbed the corner of the swaddling cloth and covered the girl's eyes. "Children are afraid of light, the patriarch forgive me, forgive me!"
The Sama patriarch stared at him strangely, look at the hair, you have covered the child's face, let me admire the swaddling pattern is almost the same. I became more and more curious about the child's appearance, didn't Lu Ergou lie that the young sect master really brought back a monster?
"It's cloudy today, don't take precautions!" The Sama patriarch didn't wait for Qin Haitao to answer, and opened the swaddling clothes covering the maid by himself.
Yaya was blinded by swaddling clothes, and she was already unhappy, but at this moment, when she saw the black face and long beard of the Samar patriarch, she was so frightened that she pouted and cried. In this way, Yaya's eyes are even more crystal bright, light purple, light blue, and dark blue alternate with each other, as if shattering the colorful glass beads.
What a monster! The Samar patriarch retreated in shock, his face instantly turned pale, and he said tremblingly, "Less...... Young Sect Master, this kid is a monster, you can take it to the back mountain and throw it away. ”
"The patriarch laughed! Yaya is just special-looking, with a nose and eyes, and as for the color of the eyes, aren't the Nehai people also blue? Qin Haitao said with a straight face, "The wolves in the back mountains are infested, and they want me to throw the girl away and feed the wolves, unless in the next life!" ”
When Zhao Yingzi heard the wolf, she was so frightened that she snatched the maid in Qin Haitao's arms, ran back to the hut like lightning, slammed the door shut, and tied the door latch with a "click".
"Zhao Yingzi! You don't even listen to the patriarch? Lu Ergou saw that Zhao Yingzi had closed the door, and grabbed it and wanted to knock on the door, but was unceremoniously stopped by Qin Haitao.
Long Shishilang exuded dragon power in the bracelet at the right time, and Lu Ergou rushed several times, each time stopping two meters away from Qin Haitao.
"Obedient? If you are obedient, you will throw the girl to feed the lang. You are obedient and throw your big dog, two dogs, and three dogs to the back mountain. Zhao Yingzi leaned her back against the door and scolded behind the door, but she hugged Yaya tightly with both hands, for fear that Yaya would be snatched away by the patriarch.
"Good scolding!" Ryushiro applauded in the bracelet.
"And you say it's not a youkai? See, Patriarch, I can't even come near him. Lu Ergou was shocked and frightened, but Patriarch Sama thought he was playing tricks.
"Qin Haitao! Have you ever met the Nehais? That's just legend. If this child stays, the entire Yangu clan will not be able to tolerate you. "The Samar patriarch was in a hurry, and he didn't even need an honorific title.
"If you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean you haven't! Have you ever seen Hou Yi shooting the sun? Have you seen the Bodhisattva in the temple? So why do you believe it? Qin Haitao snorted coldly and replied unceremoniously, "Lonely and unheard!" The sky is ten thousand acres, the sea is big and small, the mountains are high and low, and people are naturally different. ”
"Good! If you don't throw it away, from this day on, no one will be allowed to approach you, and no one will be allowed to sell you anything. The Samar patriarch was furious, and for the first time the patriarch's authority was challenged.
If you don't want it, you don't let it Qin Haitao said in his heart, fortunately, I bought a lot today, and I can support it for more than half a year.
"Patriarch! Just let them go? Lu Ergou followed behind the Samar patriarch and asked unwillingly.
"What are you going to do? Qin Haitao didn't violate the clan rules, could it be that he would have to foul if he picked up a cat and rabbit and came back to be his daughter? "Patriarch Sama had just finished speaking, and suddenly had an epiphany, yes, Qin Haitao raised monsters as daughters, and it didn't seem to be foul. But he has already ordered them to be isolated, and the dignity of the patriarch cannot be violated, so let's do it for the time being.
"You don't confiscate what he bought?" Lu Ergou continued to remind that as long as the patriarch ordered the confiscation, he would have to search for it, and it would not be impossible for him to take the sheep and get something when the time came.
"People went to the town to buy it, and they brought it back in a carriage, and everyone saw it, and you have to say that they are stealing, so if you show evidence, I will order it to be confiscated."
"Evidence of theft...... Not really. ”
"That's it. You keep an eye on them for any changes, and report back at any time. When necessary, coercive measures may be used. ”
After the Sama patriarch left, Qin Haitao entered the house. "Tomorrow I'll make the fence a little higher."
"But we're isolated, and we can't buy some things!" Zhao Yingzi said worriedly.
"Then do it yourself!" Qin Haitao replied.
"What about literacy? You can't enter the private school either. ”
"I'll teach it myself!"
"You...... You're not going back to inherit the family business? We have a maid now, and our ancestors can explain it. ”
"Yaya looks like this, I'm afraid it's worse than here when I go back. Uncles and aunts, cousins and cousins, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp? Rather than go back and listen to their constant noise, it is better to be isolated here. At least we are a family of three, and our hearts are connected. ”
Hey, hey! Is a family of four good? Don't leave me out. Ryushiro sighed in the bracelet, how can I let them know that I exist? The things you buy are only enough for half a year, but what about after half a year?
