Tsurumi Hatsuyun exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said in a cold voice: "At most, in two days, I will send eight hundred taels of silver." ”

"It's for the best." The female shopkeeper didn't raise her head, stroking the beautifully carved flower hairpin in her hand, her eyes were unstoppably loved, and she was about to wear it on her head.

But as soon as the action was made, Tsurumi Hatsuyun reached out and grabbed it.

"What are you doing?"

"It's not yours."

"It seems that this hairpin is very important to the girl, but since you choose to bet on us, the hairpin is mine for the time being."

“……”

Tsuru saw Hatsuyun staring at each other, this flower hairpin was the most valuable item her mother left her, let her give it to others, she was a hundred unwilling in her heart.

But she had to give it again, and after a stalemate for a while, she could only pick up the white mask, get up and walk out the small door.

"I'll come back and get it."

"Wait for the good news, but the girl should remember that you only have seven days."

“……”

Pushing open the door and about to go out, she stopped, looked back at the female shopkeeper and said word by word: "If I don't see the hairpin when I send eight hundred taels of silver, I will definitely tear down your shop." ”

The female shopkeeper did not speak, or rather ignored it completely, and observed the flower hairpin by herself.

……

At dusk, the sky gets darker.

After eating noodles and drinking a sip of soup, the guests on the side of the road put down a few copper plates and got up to leave.

"Little Er, the money is on the table."

"Okay, the guest officer walks slowly."

The shopkeeper came with a smile on his face, quickly put away the copper plate on the table, and was about to clean up the table, when he looked up and saw two beggars not far away, pouted, and finally straightened up and walked into the store.

As soon as Xiao Er left, two beggars surrounded him like wolves, holding the bowl and about to open their mouths to drink, but this noodle soup could only be smelled but not tasted, and before his lips could make contact with the noodle soup, he was pressed to the ground by another beggar.

"Get out of the way, it's mine!"

"You thief girl, obviously I saw it first!"

"You look like it's you, huh? Yes? I'll beat you to death! ”

Just a mouthful of noodle soup, the two beggars scuffled without saying anything, and the second little shop before didn't know when it appeared again, leaning on the doorrail and watching with interest.

The battle lasted for a while, and the end result was a short beggar who was carried by the tall beggar and thrown out.

He still wanted to fight for it, but he finally got up, and the noodle soup in the bowl had been drunk.

Seeing this, the beggar, who had been beaten and had a swollen nose and face, viciously spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the side of the road, and had no choice but to give up.

I don't know how long it took to walk, he sat down on the steps in front of a broken house, thinking about what had just happened, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he turned his head, he saw a stone next to him.

As soon as his eyes lit up, he reached out to take it, but before he touched it, he felt that the world in front of him suddenly darkened, and a faint fragrance gently brushed his nose, and the little beggar was stunned, and looked up, only to see a woman appear in front of him at some point, with a hat on her head, and a black veil covering her face tightly.

"You...... Who are you? He stammered.

The woman didn't speak, but raised her hand and threw something, and he hurriedly took it, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was two silver coins.

"Yes...... Yes, it's for me? ”

"Hmm." She nodded, and before the beggar could speak, another bag appeared in her hand and placed it on the ground, and the contents collided and rubbed against each other with a pleasant sound.

"I want you to help me do something, these two taels of silver are deposits, and I will give you three taels of silver after I finish the work."

"How?"

"Altogether...... Five taels? ”

"Hmm."

The beggar's eyes were a little dull, five taels of silver, the last time he saw so much money was the last time.

Anyway, I can't remember when, if I have five taels of silver on my body, then I can eat a lot of noodle soup?

His eyes became hot, and he didn't think about what the mysterious woman in front of him would let him do, and shouted without hesitation: "I'll go, I'll do whatever you tell me to do, just give money!" ”

The woman indifferently handed out a piece of paper, and the beggar took it and looked at it, only to think that the words on it were very regular, but he had not read a book, could not read, and did not know what was written on it.

"You take these things, go over there, turn right after crossing two intersections, and walk another forty steps to see Jishitang, you go inside and ask the shopkeeper to take the medicinal materials for you according to what is written above, and come here to find me after getting the things, I will wait for you under this tree."

Tsuru saw Hatsuyun pointing to the withered tree next to the house, and the beggar looked away and nodded, mingling in the well of Ju'a City, he was very familiar with the surrounding environment.

"Buy something for you, I'll do it!"

"Go now."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Just run an errand, there is a good reward waiting for him, the beggar is not willing to stay for a second, and he picks up the heavy bag and is about to go to Najishitang.

But after walking a few steps, he remembered something, turned around and asked, "Will you give me another three taels of silver or ...... when you come back from shopping?"

Tsurumi Hatsukumo had long since disappeared in place, and he didn't know where he had gone, and what he asked came to an abrupt end.

"Huh? Where did the people go? ”

After a second's pause, the beggar walked to the side of the dilapidated house and took a look, but there was no sign of the other party under the tree.

It's as if the world has evaporated.

"It's weird." Scratching his head, he had to walk in the direction of Najishitang.

As he walked, the contents of the bag made a rattling sound, and the weight of it made him a little curious, and when he walked through an intersection, he swept left and right, and when he saw that no one was following him, he opened the bag and looked inside.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, he was startled when he saw it, and the white silver blinded his eyes at once.

The beggar froze in place.

He had lived for more than twenty years, and for the first time he had seen so much money.

The hands holding the bag unconsciously used force, he slowly raised his head, came back to his senses, and looked down again.

That's right, it's silver!

I'm not dreaming.

His heart was beating faster, and he couldn't control his body, trembling slightly.

I'm afraid there are hundreds of taels of silver, right?

Five taels of silver can make him eat many, many bowls of noodle soup.

And for one hundred taels of silver, he can eat noodle soup for a lifetime, so that he no longer has to worry about being hungry.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look around again, and after confirming that no one was really following him, the greed and courage in his heart were infinitely magnified.

What Jishitang to go to?

What legs to run?

What is five taels of silver?

A hundred taels of silver is too much!

The beggar made up his mind, picked up the mouth of the bag, and turned around and ran into the alley next to him.

He was originally hungry and couldn't feel hungry at this moment, his legs became stronger than ever, he ran faster and faster, thinking of the bowl of noodle soup that was just ordinary, saliva couldn't stop flowing from the corners of his mouth.

He just wanted to run away, just now the woman couldn't find himself, and the silver belonged to him.

The beggar had only this thought in his heart, turning left and right in the complicated alleyways, and even if he bumped into someone, he only looked back.

He was full of anticipation for the future, but when he turned into an alley, he stumbled, and his dream was shattered.

The girl in green clothes, wearing a hat, leaned against the wall, turned the dart in her hand as green as a bamboo leaf, and turned her head to look at him casually.

"What are you doing here? What do I want? ”

"I ...... I ......" The beggar stammered for a long time and didn't know what to say, looked panicked, and finally cried out: "I ...... I'm going to buy it! ”

With that, he turned around and ran.

The girl didn't chase after her, and continued to turn the green leaf dart in her hand, looking focused.

"I'll be waiting for you under the tree."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The beggar quickened his pace, and he glanced back after running out of the alley.

The girl's figure disappeared again, and everything she had just seen seemed to be an illusion, when in fact she had never appeared.

All kinds of unusualness made his heart tighten, the beggar didn't know where the girl had actually been staring at him, but he couldn't find where she was.

There are some things that you shouldn't touch.

Five taels of silver is five taels of silver, and it is better to be able to eat many, many bowls of noodle soup than to lose your life.

He didn't dare to use the idea of more than a hundred taels of silver anymore, so he honestly ran to Jishitang with a bag of silver.

When he came to the door, the thugs on both sides saw that he was unclothed, and impatiently picked up his sticks and tried to drive people away.

"Where is the dead beggar, get away from it."

"Go!"

"Ah, two masters, I'll come in and buy something, don't beg."

"Buying something? Here are medicines for sale, what do you buy? ”

"That's it...... Just come here to buy ...... Well...... I have money. ”

"What's your money for a stinky beggar?"

"I'm so rich!"

Seeing that the two didn't believe it, the beggar became anxious and opened the bag, revealing the silver coins inside.

When the other party saw it, he was stunned for a moment.

"Where did you come from?"

"It's someone else's, I run errands for people." The beggar explained, and the two thugs in front of him looked at each other, then looked at him with strange expressions, and said nothing, waved his hand, and got out of the way.

"You go in."

The beggar breathed a sigh of relief and ran in with his money bag.

And the shopkeeper inside had already noticed what was happening outside the door, and as soon as the beggar came in, he asked, "What do you want?" ”

"I want what is written on it." The beggar handed over the paper that Tsurumi Hatsuyun had given him, and the shopkeeper took it and squinted at it, and there were all kinds of medicinal herbs on it, a total of more than a dozen.

The shopkeeper, who often selects medicines for the alchemists in the city, can see at a glance that these are the materials needed for refining the Yun Beast Pill and the Peiyuan Pill respectively.

Ten parts for the former and six parts for the latter.

He raised his head and looked at the beggar, and asked very seriously, "Who asked you to buy this?" ”

The words startled the beggar.

"I, I don't know, is a woman with a hat on her head, and I can't see what she looks like."

It seems that he is an alchemist......

The shopkeeper clicked on the counter, and already had a guess in his heart, but he didn't move on the surface, and opened his mouth to call the guy in the store, and asked him to take the medicinal herbs according to the wound on the paper, and then pack them and give them to the beggar.

"The medicinal herbs above are here, a total of one hundred and forty-two hanging dollars."

"Are these enough?"

The beggar put the money bag on the counter and made a rattling sound.

The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper counted together, and there were a total of one hundred and forty-five taels of silver in it, and there were just three silver coins left.

"Three taels more, I'll give it back to you."

"Huh?" The beggar was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that the remaining three taels of silver were his own.

"Oooh."

After taking the money, he fled with the medicinal herbs he had bought.

As soon as the beggar left, the two thugs outside the door then walked into the store and asked respectfully, "Uncle Bang, how is it?" ”

The shopkeeper didn't take it too long, and said, "Nine times out of ten, he is an alchemist who has not entered the Ji Yuan Division. ”

"Alchemist......" The eyes of the two flashed with surprise, and they said anxiously: "Do you want us to follow?" ”

"Go ahead, see that alchemist good student invite people over, pay attention to proportion, if people don't want to, don't force them."

The shopkeeper wanted to nod in agreement, but halfway through the conversation, he thought that the prescribing of the medicine house was not only his own family, but the relationship between the four major families was even more tense, so he shook his head: "Forget it, you don't have to go, it's not good for her to dislike us." ”

"Yes."

The two thugs looked at each other and had to give up.

On the other side, after the beggar got the medicinal herbs, he hurried to the agreed place, next to the broken house, and Tsurumi Hatsumo leaned on the dead tree and waited quietly.

Seeing him come back, she reached out and snatched the medicinal herbs he was carrying, and then put them into the storage space, and then left without saying a word.

The beggar's mouth opened and closed, and he looked at the place where she had stood for a moment, and soon remembered that he still had five taels of silver on him, and ran in the direction of the noodle shop with joy.

As soon as she returned to the inn, she didn't delay for a moment, released the Dan furnace, a flame came out of her palm, and she directly started alchemy.

In order to get back the flower hairpin, all the pills she refined next must be left in her hands, and only in this way can the money earned from selling the pills redeem the flower hairpin.

Shen Yi didn't say anything in the consciousness space, he could feel that after coming out of the fabric shop, the old witch became gloomy, if the flower hairpin couldn't be brought back, she would really turn the shop upside down regardless of any consequences.

Hanging upside down above the altar, Shen Yi closed his eyes and checked the red qi in his body, and when he saw that there were still twenty units, he was relieved to digest it.

Outside Tsurumi Hatsuyun also held his breath and focused all his attention on the Dan Fire, the time required to become a Dan was shortened, and it only took an hour and twenty minutes to successfully refine eleven Beast Pills.

Taking out the Yun Beast Pill, she picked up the Dan Furnace and refined the second furnace non-stop.

The Yun Beast Pill that she had left in her hand before was sold to Zhuo Ming Jin, and she came to Ju'a City to make up for Shen Yi and was half eaten by him, and now she still has ten Yun Beast Dan in her hand.

If she wanted to earn eight hundred taels of silver in one night, she had to refine four furnaces of Beast Pills before the time of day, and the number of Beast Pills in each furnace could not be less than ten.

In short, Tsurumi Hatsukumo worked very hard, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment when he tensed his nerves throughout the whole process.

In such a high-intensity alchemy, she lasted until the dead of night, and she had refined the four furnaces of the Beast Pills before the time came.

It wasn't until this moment that she breathed a sigh of relief, took the forty-two refined Beast Pills and hurriedly left the inn with Shen Yi. (End of chapter)
