Early the next morning

Xiaoba stretched his waist, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Hu Xiaoxi and the dumb mother-in-law sitting opposite him and looking at him. Feeling uncomfortable, Hachi-hachi turned over and sat up immediately, and hid the pocket containing the three-eyed spotted cat behind him with some vigilance.

Seeing Xiaoba's appearance, Hu Xiaoxi laughed out loud with a "poof". smiled: "Hey, you don't have to be so careful." We don't rob you of your stuff. ”

Xiaoba said in his heart: "I know you don't rob, I'm afraid you will see it..." ”

Hearing Xiaoba say this, the dumb mother-in-law couldn't help but nodded, but Hu Xiaoxi was so angry that she said, "My dignified Miss Hu family, will I rob you of that bit of?"

Xiaoba didn't know whether it was sincere or unintentional, and when he heard Hu Xiaoxi's words, he nodded immediately.

"You... Hmph!" the angry Hu Xiaoxi snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Seeing the two of them like this, the dumb mother-in-law secretly smiled, and then gently pushed Hu Xiaoxi. motioned to Hu Xiaoxi to thank Xiaoba for saving his life.

Xiaoxi saw that the dumb mother-in-law still encouraged herself to go, although she was angry, she couldn't refute the face of the dumb mother-in-law. He turned his head to Hachi angrily and said, "You saved us, thank you." ”

Xiaoba waved his hand and said, "No, I'm just passing by." ”

Seeing that Xiaoba didn't care so much, Hu Xiaoxi was sullen again. In order to give this tattered red-dressed hillbilly a little bit of discouragement, he said: "Hmph, my Miss Hu doesn't want to owe others to ask, if you need our help, just say." There's almost nothing we can't do in Nanya City!"

Hearing Hu Xiaoxi say this, Xiaoba's eyes immediately lit up and asked, "Really?"

When Xiaoxi heard this, the anger in his heart suddenly decreased a lot, and he felt a little proud. I thought to myself: "He really came to Nanya City to do business." Since he is here to do something, he has to ask him to beg for himself later. He patted his full chest proudly and said, "That's right, you can say it, just say what you want." ”

Hachi immediately said, "That's great, give me some money!"

"Okay, here you go... What? You want money?" Xiao Xi, who was about to show off his family's power proudly, suddenly looked like a deflated balloon, and thought: "This is really a hillbilly, facing the eldest lady of the Hu family, one of the two major families in Nanya City, and she is just asking for money!?" But then he thought about it, and since it was estimated that the amount of money he wanted was not small, he immediately asked cautiously: "How much money do you want?"

When Hachi heard how much he wanted, he lowered his head and raised his fingers to calculate something.

Seeing Xiaoba's appearance, Xiaoxi was more sure of what he thought in his heart, feeling that this kid wanted to slaughter himself fiercely. It's a shame that I still treat him as a good person.

After carefully calculating, Xiaoba stretched out two fingers to Hu Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi was suddenly taken aback, and said in his heart: "This guy is so ruthless, 20,000 yuan, although it is not that his family can't get it, but this is a year's and a half income from his family." This was known by the ancestor that he had to be punished heavily. So Xiaoxi, her face was slightly red, although she was embarrassed, but she still asked tentatively: "That... You also said that you were passing by, you want so much, can you talk about the past, can you be a little less..."

When Xiaoba heard Xiaoxi say this, he also frowned, and then said, "You don't have a handle in your big wardrobe, right?"

Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Hachi pursed his lips and said, "What else do you mean, slam the door." ”

"You!" Xiaoxi, who was suddenly angry, blushed, but he was looking for someone to bargain. It's really hard to refute anything, and people saved their lives and the lives of their dumb mother-in-law, and it's not a matter of money if they lose their lives. Just as Xiaoxi was about to grit his teeth and agree, Xiaoba said another word, so that Xiaoxi almost didn't get it. "Pick the door, you won't give me two hundred taels, I'll go and fight a dreadclaw bird and sell it for this price." ”

"What? you want two hundred taels?" Xiao Xi asked again in disbelief as if he had heard the Arabian Nights.

"yes, how much do you think?" Hachi asked, opening his eyes and tilting his head to look at Xiaoxi.

Exhaling heavily, Xiao Xi patted his chest and said, "I thought your lion would ask for 20,000 yuan..."

"Oh, how much is twenty thousand?" Hachi asked again a question that left Xiaoxi completely speechless.

"You don't know about 20,000, you can fool me, it's 100 200 taels, understand?" Xiaoxi was already a little broken and yelled at Xiaoba.

After Hachi heard this, his two hands immediately stood in front of him. Then he said to himself, "Five two hundred taels is one thousand taels." Ten two hundred taels are two thousand taels. Fifteen is..."They didn't know that Hachi had grown up in a mountain village since he was a child, and the largest number he had ever heard of was a thousand. And even if it's a thousand taels, he has only heard of it and never seen it, and he has never heard of the units and numbers in the upper range, so how can he understand the meaning of ten thousand.

Hearing Xiaoba's self-talk calculating, Xiaoxi covered his head and shouted in pain: "Oh my God..."

The dumb mother-in-law next to her was so red that she tried her best to prevent herself from laughing.

After about half a pillar of incense, Xiao Ba raised his head, looked at Xiao Xi blankly and said, "So much, no need, it's too heavy, I can't take it away if you give it to me." ”

Xiaoxi immediately roared: "There is a silver ticket! Do you know the silver ticket! Don't talk to me, go, follow me home, I didn't bring money when I went out, I'll get it for you when I go home with me." After saying that, Xiaoxi went over and picked up the dumb mother-in-law, and didn't look at Xiaoba again, and walked towards the edge of the forest with his head bored.

Hachi scratched her head, puzzled as to why she was so angry. But when he heard that there was money to take, he hurriedly chased after him in three or two steps, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Xi turned around and yelled at Xiao Hachi with a painful face: "Remember! Don't talk to me, we don't have a common language." Then he took the dumb woman and quickened his pace and walked out of the forest.

Hachi had to follow inexplicably...

......

When the three of them went out, it was relatively smooth, and they didn't encounter the attack of the fierce beast. It took less than three hours to get out of the Nanya Forest. After resting on the side of the avenue outside the Nanya Forest, the dumb mother-in-law bought a horse for each of them, and the three of them rode towards Nanya City...

When he came to Nanya City again, Xiaoba couldn't help but feel a little sad, and when he was a child, when Li Dali took himself to Nanya City for the first time, everyone sold the goods after hunting, and Li Dali specially bought a sugar gourd on the side of the road and handed it to himself, sweet and sour. Later, when I grew up, I had to practice with my sister Xinqu, and the number of times I came became a lot less. But every time Li Dali sells out the goods, he will bring back some delicious and fun things for himself. Thinking of this, Hachi's eyes turned red...

After the three of them entered Nanya City, they went directly to a huge mansion in the east of Nanya City. At the main entrance of this huge mansion hangs a gilded plaque with two vigorous and powerful characters of Hu Mansion written on it. The huge Cheng dù of the Hu Mansion had already stunned Xiao Ba, a countryman, and the continuous walls stretched out two or three miles horizontally, and with Xiao Hachi's eyesight, he couldn't even see his head. This is a building that is many times larger than the Blue Mountain School. At the main entrance, there are two cyan stone lions three meters high and two meters wide, exuding a burst of majesty. On each side of the main entrance stood four large men who greeted the guests. The height of the big men is more than 1.9 meters, and they look very strong. Xiaoba followed Hu Xiaoxi and the dumb mother-in-law to the main gate of Hu's mansion. Eight big men hurriedly greeted him and made a domestic servant salute to the news, shouting, "Miss."

Xiaoxi raised his head slightly, and didn't pay attention to a few big men and walked straight in with Xiaoba and the dumb mother-in-law.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties, who gave people a gentle and elegant feeling, walked out, saw Xiaoxi and the dumb mother-in-law, greeted him, and asked with concern: "Xiaoxi, why did you only come back today." The third uncle is very worried about you."

But Xiaoxi didn't give the other party the enthusiasm he deserved, and said coldly: "The cat cries the mouse" and walked away. Xiaoxi's third uncle coughed awkwardly, and then he turned around and saw the tattered Xiaoba. Then he walked up and asked, "What is the matter with this little brother coming to Hu Mansion?"

Xiaoba hugged his fist at Xiaoxi's third uncle and said, "Hello, Miss owes me two hundred taels of silver, and I came to get the money." ”

The third uncle was stunned, then smiled, took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels from his arms, handed it to Xiao Ba and said, "There are five hundred taels here, you can accept it." I'll pay you back for Xiaoxi, and if you need to come to Hufu to find me in the future. ”

Xiaoba saw that the other party had given an eviction order, so he was about to reach out to pick up the silver ticket. At this time, Xiaoxi ran over, snatched the silver ticket handed to Xiaoba by the third uncle and stuffed it back into the third uncle's hand, and said, "I will pay back what I owe myself." Can't I pay it back?"

As he spoke, he took Hachi's hand and walked towards the depths of the courtyard. Left the third uncle with a wry smile on the spot.

The third uncle saw Xiaoxi and they walked away, waved his hand, and at this time, a child-like person appeared from the air beside him, knelt down on one knee and saluted him. The third uncle said coldly: "Go and find out what's going on." And who that person is..."
