Early in the morning, why did the second brother come? ”

"It's time for us to leave home." Ning Haoyu sighed, his tone quite helpless.

Ning Meng frowned suspiciously: "Daddy hasn't heard any news yet?" ”

Ning Haoyu shook his head: "No, I estimate that there will be more luck than lucky." We have to go back as soon as possible, and we can't delay any longer, otherwise our family will be ruined. ”

Although Mrs. Ning left them silver before leaving, it was not enough for the family's expenses!

Ning Meng suddenly understood Ning Haoyu's difficulties, she sighed and patted Ning Haoyu's shoulder: "Second brother, don't be too anxious. Daddy must be fine, after we go back, look for more medical centers in nearby villages, maybe we can ask the imperial doctor to treat Daddy and Mom. ”

Ning Haoyu lowered his eyes, covering the grief-stricken look in his eyes.

He didn't dare to think about the worst, he just hoped that his father and mother would return safely.

After some discussion, the siblings prepared to return to their hometown to visit their parents.

"Second brother, let's go to the Li family pharmacy in the south of the city to get some herbs, and then hire a car to go back to the village. This way the distance is short, the speed is fast, and there is no need to worry about it. Ning Meng said.

"Hmm." Ning Haoyu nodded in agreement, and then the brother and sister worked together.

Ning Meng went to Li's pharmacy to buy medicinal herbs, and then went to the street to buy a new dress, and also went to the jewelry store to shop, selected a few gold hairpins and gold collars, and planned to take them back to honor his father and mother.

"Girl, you want to buy hairpins. The slave and maid have a good eye for you, so you might as well buy this hibiscus hairpin. "The guy recommended a beautiful and luxurious hibiscus hairpin, and the price was half a percent higher than other golden hairpins.

"I don't think the hibiscus hairpin is for me." Ning Mengwan rejected the guy's proposal, turned around and asked, "Where is the shopkeeper?" ”

The guy was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "Oh...... Do you want to see the shopkeeper? The little one will lead you over. ”

The shopkeeper was a chubby and round man, with an honest appearance, and after listening to the intentions of the two guest officers, he said with a smile: "Since the two guest officers like this kind of simple and elegant jewelry, the small one is up to you, just the price......" He stretched out two fingers and dangled.

"Twenty-eight thousand taels?" Ning Haoyu's eyes widened, "Shopkeeper, are you sure this hairpin is worth twenty-eight thousand taels?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, looking like a profiteer: "Of course, more than that, if the two of you buy objectively and sincerely, our store is willing to give you a hibiscus hairpin to ensure that you are satisfied." ”

His face was full of treachery, and it was clear that this hibiscus hairpin was a fake.

Ning Meng sneered: "Since the shopkeeper is so reluctant to give up the treasure of his own town store, why don't you sell it to me?" I'm willing to pay 36,000 taels for it. ”

The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "The little girl really loves to joke, this hibiscus hairpin in our store is an ancestral heirloom, how can you cut love casually." The little one has a good eye for you, so I'll give it to you. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he shouted out, "Man, come in." ”

Soon, the guy came in with a tray. On the tray is a delicate hibiscus hairpin, the workmanship is very fine, the hairpin is carved with a lifelike peony pattern, it looks beautiful, and it also has a faint fragrance, which makes people smell and feel particularly comfortable.

"Little girl, what do you think of this hairpin? This is an ancestral heirloom, it can be said to be unique, and you will definitely not suffer a loss when you buy it. The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly.

Ning Haoyu couldn't help but scold: "Phew! "Who is this dead fat pig lying to? He bet that this hairpin is definitely fake, but it is just exquisitely made and looks like the real thing, which is why it is deliberately sold for such an expensive price.

The more Ning Haoyu thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Shopkeeper, don't you want to cheat?" ”

After being seen through the treacherous scheme, the shopkeeper was immediately annoyed and angry, and scolded with a straight face: "What nonsense, do you know whose property this is?" How dare you run here to make trouble. Hurry up and get out, otherwise don't blame the store for being rude, and you will be the one who will lose face at that time. ”

Ning Meng looked at Ning Haoyu and motioned for him to leave first, so as not to cause trouble. After all, it is in the county seat, and if something happens, the impact will not be good.

Ning Haoyu bit his lip and hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to leave, and the province affected his sister because of this.

When the brother and sister walked away, the shopkeeper immediately turned his face and told the man to pack up his things and prepare to close the door.

Ning Haoyu had just stepped out of the Li family's pharmacy and had not walked long before a group of people suddenly rushed out of the shadows to stop them.

Ning Haoyu was so frightened that he protected his sister and shouted: "Who is coming, report your name!" Although he was afraid, he did not forget his duty, and desperately tried to delay time, hoping that the official would come over quickly.

"Yo, you're a man. You can rest assured, you are only seeking wealth today, and you will not hurt people's lives. The black-robed strong man at the head smiled. He was followed by seven or eight big men, each of whom was powerful, his eyes were blazing, and he was full of murderous energy.

Ning Meng pulled his brother's sleeve and reminded in a low voice: "Brother, don't be impulsive, they are not good, we can't fight them." ”

Ning Haoyu took a deep breath, trying to restrain the fear in his heart, trying to make his voice sound less trembling: "What do you want to do?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense! Hand over the money, and I'll spare you from death! The black-robed strong man waved his hand, and several strong men around him immediately surrounded him, surrounding Ning Haoyu and Ning Meng, with a posture like a thief.

"Brother, I'll stop them, you take the opportunity to escape, don't worry about me." Ning Meng grabbed Ning Haoyu's hand and lowered his voice to admonish.

"What nonsense! I won't leave you! Ning Haoyu said firmly.

The black-robed strong man smiled grimly: "It seems that you don't want to cooperate, then it's no wonder to me." He beckoned to everyone: "What are you still doing in a daze, on!" ”

Before the words fell, Ning Meng drew his sword out of the sheath and slashed at the big man led by him with one move.

A look of surprise flashed in the strong man's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, he smiled contemptuously, and directly smashed his fist towards Ning Meng, wanting to try Ning Meng's catties.

Ning Meng dodged his attack, quickly hid behind his brother, and quietly crushed the jade pendant.

Ning Haoyu didn't recognize the jade pendant, but he also sensed the danger coming. He subconsciously dragged his sister into his arms and hid it, raised his foot and kicked the big man's leg hard.

Ning Meng watched the strong man staggering back two steps, the corners of his mouth raising a sarcastic arc.

Sure enough, it is actually a lucky thing to hide in space whenever you encounter danger.

The strong man was attacked by a sneak attack, and he was furious: "Let's go together!" Kill this stinky boy! "He doesn't believe in evil, and he can't deal with a hairy boy.

The others immediately pounced on Ning Haoyu.

"Mengmeng, brother will lead them away later, you run away!" Ning Haoyu protected Ning Meng behind him and entangled with them. Although he was afraid, he did not regret it. He didn't want to leave his sister behind, not to mention that he couldn't leave his sister alone.
