Chapter 52: Promise
Leaving the room of the shopkeeper Liu on the fourth floor, Xiao Ba went downstairs and returned to the guest room where they lived, where Xiao Yu'er was touching everywhere, playing with the things in the room, and You Zifang was tinkering with something on the table.
Xiao Ba came in and pulled a chair and sat down, Xiao Yu'er saw him come back and immediately ran around him, showing him the small things found in the room, Xiao Ba smiled and played with her, and said to You Zifang that he had just talked upstairs.
When you heard that Shopkeeper Liu was willing to pay a hundred taels to invite Xiaoba to go, and if he could bring back something, he was willing to exchange it for the restaurant, he jumped up directly from the seat, looked at Xiaoba with wide eyes and said.
"Why didn't you agree, what are you hesitating about!"
"What's the difference between this and giving money for nothing?"
"You promised, even if you go for a walk around and come back, you will have a hundred taels of silver, I damn it! If you don't go, I'll go" You Zifang scolded and felt that Xiaoba was hesitant, this kind of good thing can be exchanged for anyone, so he was eager to take over the deal.
"Shopkeeper Liu must have something to hide, things won't be so simple" Xiao Ba said the real doubts in his heart, if it is really that simple, is it worth a hundred taels of silver, or even the entire restaurant.
"Businessmen, generations of business, the basic trade-offs of interests are the most understood" Xiao Hachi said lightly, Xiao Yu'er on the side pricked up his ears to listen to their conversation, listened to a few words and didn't understand too much, but very obediently did not open his mouth to disturb Xiao Hachi and them talking.
"That's too, people run such a big restaurant, it's impossible to give money for nothing" You Zifang also slowly regained his calm, just now he was blinded by money instantly, and he was bent on asking for money, and he didn't think so much about it at all.
"I can actually go, even if there is danger, I have the confidence to get out, but I don't know the details inside, I'm afraid that it will be delayed for too long, Xiaoyu will definitely not be able to follow, that is, you need to stay with her all the time and wait for me" Xiaoba said what he thought in his heart, and Xiaoyuer on the side heard it.
Xiaoba is going out again, leaving her and Youzifang waiting here, suddenly the little mouth is deflated, and the unhappy little mood comes up, Xiaoba saw this and hurriedly comforted her, and said that it is good to eat and drink here, and you can also go outside to play and so on, all the good things are said again, and Xiao Yu'er's mood slowly returned to happiness.
The wanderer saw Xiao Ba's posture with a baby, and his eyes widened.
"I didn't expect that you have a talent for bringing babies!"
“... Maybe" Hachi knew that Youzifang was teasing himself, but he did change a little, obviously changed, he used to be cold and silent, and he had more contact with dead people, or people who were about to die.
Now I don't know what's wrong, the words have become more, and the personality is not as cold as before, especially when treating Xiao Yu'er, he doesn't show himself like his previous self, how can he care about taking care of others.
"When I first saw you, you wanted to me if you didn't agree with me, and almost took my life, after all, you still owe me a yellow talisman"
"You are such a ruthless person who actually has such a side, what has changed you, I'm afraid!" You Zifang looked like he was underbeaten, and deliberately pretended to be very scared, which made Xiao Yu'er giggle and laugh.
"I don't know" Xiaoba said in a low voice, he didn't know what's wrong, as he came into contact with more and more people, he began to become more and more integrated into the world, including dealing with Shopkeeper Liu and others, etc., he didn't need to think about these before, he just needed to complete the task.
"The matter of the Wind Demon Conference, the decision to go or not lies with you, I will eat and drink together, how can I talk nonsense" You Zifang rarely got serious and said serious things.
"You take Xiao Yu'er with you, you can play in Qucheng during the day, and I will try to return within two days," Xiao Hachi said after thinking for a while.
"Decided to go?"
"A little curious, this Wind Demon Conference" The reason why Hachi's curiosity was aroused was actually related to what happened on Xiaoshi Mountain and what he saw in the Lost Forest, and he was curious about what the Wind Demon Conference was like that everyone was going to.
The main reason for refusing to agree right away is Xiao Yu'er, Xiao Hachi is always worried about her inexplicably, I don't know why I attach so much importance to it, maybe it's the guilt that has been haunting her heart.
"That's good, wrap me up, Xiaoyu! Did you hear it, I'll take you to play" You Zifang said to Xiao Yu'er with a smile, Xiao Yu'er listened to him where to play, what was fun, and was very amused, but her happy little face suddenly changed, and she puffed out her mouth and said to Xiao Ba.
"Hachi, you have to come back and pick us up quickly!"
"Okay" After getting Hachi's affirmative reply, she was happy again.
"When are you leaving?" You Zifang asked
"I'll set off tonight, I'm used to walking at night," Hachi said flatly, stood up and checked the things on his body, walked to the window again, opened the window, and glanced at the beautiful scenery of the water city outside the window.
"Pay attention to safety" You Zifang actually mentioned such a sentence seriously, and found two green talismans from the things he had just made up and gave them to Xiao Ba.
"This is my highest level! For self-defense," You Zifang said with a smug face.
"Thank you," Hachi said with a chuckle, taking the talisman. Xiao Yu'er also walked over at this moment, stretched out her little hand to grab Xiao Ba's clothes, and her clear eyes revealed a look of concern.
Suddenly, Xiao Hachi couldn't stand it, and hurriedly climbed out of the window and went to the roof, this sensational feeling was particularly strange.
Standing alone on the roof, the warm breeze blowing on his face, the strange feeling began to slowly subside, he looked at the green talisman in his hand, and the eyes of the little fisherman just now, and an inexplicable emotion arose in his heart.
On the roof, Xiaoba took out the yin and yang fish plate, urging the yin fish to produce black lines, which are still old operations, and the black lines extend along the house to all sides, and every move around them will be fed back, so as to ensure the safety of Xiao Yu'er.
Then Xiaoba rolled down directly from the roof, grabbed the eaves with one hand, jumped in from the window on the fourth floor, and landed in the room of Shopkeeper Liu, who was sitting at the tea table drinking tea, Shopkeeper Liu was startled, but after looking at Xiaoba, he immediately put a smile on his face, because he knew that Xiaoba came back to him, there must be a play!
"How is Xiaoyou thinking about it?" Liu Yongqing asked in a low voice.
"I promise you a deal," Hachi said as he turned over and entered the room, instead of sitting down, he stood up.
"That's great, Xiaoyou's courage and courage, I absolutely admire it!" Liu Yongqing spoke very nicely, and was busy looking for something in the drawer, and after a while, a dark red bill was found, and the bill was stamped with the seal of Huaixiang Restaurant, and Liu Yongqing took a pen and wrote his name on it.
When you're done, you respectfully hand it to Hachi.
"This thing is a proof, we businessmen do things reasonably, and we will never go back"
"Good" Hachi is not a person who inks, and accepted this crimson bill and put it in his arms.
