Attic on the fifth floor.

In front of the window, the sun is shining.

A beautiful woman wearing a wide robe, but unable to hide her graceful figure and noble temperament, was sitting at the table, quietly reading a book.

The sun fell on her, gilding her with a golden glow, adding a bit of mystery to her.

On the table, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone have long been prepared.

Luo Qingfeng went upstairs, glanced at it from a distance, and walked over.

This time, the woman in front of him did not let him kneel again, but said, "Sit down." ”

Luo Qingfeng was a little surprised.

But he didn't think much of it, and immediately sat down beside her.

The woman didn't say anything more, stretched out her slender hand, gently pushed a book to him, and then took the initiative to pick up the ink block and began to study the ink on her own.

Luo Qingfeng couldn't help but glance at her, and secretly said in his heart: Today's senior Bai seems to be a little strange.

He didn't dare to ask more, opened the book, and read it carefully.

It's a travelogue again.

From these travelogues, you can learn a lot about the things between the demon race and humans.

Luo Qingfeng was also happy to help translate.

He spread out the clean rice paper, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and prepared to start writing.

But suddenly, he stopped again.

Bai Ruofei lowered her head to study the ink, seemed to notice his movements, and said, "Why don't you write it?" ”

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and said, "Senior Bai, what you said yesterday still counts?" ”

Concubine Bai Ruofei continued to study the ink, and said lightly: "Naturally, it counts." ”

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her expression again, then put her mind at ease, and immediately became full of motivation and started writing.

One person studies ink, and the other reads and transcribes.

Inside, the heating was overflowing, and the cigarette smoke was curling, and it was silent.

Outside the window, the sun gradually slanted from the sky to the west.

Soon, it was evening.

Luo Qingfeng put down the pen, rubbed his sore wrist, turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, and said, "Senior Bai, let's stop here today, there is still half a copy, I will write it tomorrow." ”

Bai Ruofei didn't say anything, nodded slightly, and put down the ink block.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her, coughed, and said, "Senior Bai, I should go back, that ......"

Concubine Bai Ruofei turned her head, looked at him and said, "What's that?" ”

Luo Qingfeng said: "That...... You shouldn't have forgotten what you said yesterday about gold, right? ”

Concubine Bai Ruofei looked at him coldly: "Gold? What gold? ”

Luo Qingfeng's face changed suddenly.

Concubine Bai Ruofei stared at the expression on his face for a while, then Fang stretched out her slender jade hand, spread out her palm, and said, "Is this it?" ”

In her snow-white palm, there was a piece of yellow gold.

Luo Qingfeng suddenly smiled and said, "Yes." ”

As he spoke, he reached for it.

Concubine Bai Ruofei suddenly closed her palms and held the gold in her palms again.

The hands of the two suddenly clasped together.

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, quickly let go, and said, "Senior Bai, you ......"

Concubine Bai Ruofei frowned slightly and said, "You touched my hand." ”

Luo Qingfeng hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry ......"

Bai Ruofei said expressionlessly: "What's the use of apologizing?" If you touch it, you touch it, and this piece of gold will be regarded as you giving me an apology. ”

Luo Qingfeng's face changed, and he got up and said, "Senior Bai, how can you talk and not count?" I've written it for you, and you said you'd give me gold. ”

Concubine Bai Ruofei said lightly: "You said before that you would come to me every night, have you come?" ”

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment and said, "Did the junior say it?" ”

Bai Ruofei said: "Then I didn't say that I would give you gold." ”

The two looked at each other.

Luo Qingfeng was angry in his heart, this woman was so unreasonable! Obviously the chest is so big, the person is so beautiful, how can it be ......

"Forget it, I'm not coming tomorrow."

He felt no need to argue anymore, said coldly, and was about to leave.

Bai Ruofei put the gold on the table and said, "Can't you afford to joke?" ”

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, stopped, and turned his head to look at her.

No matter how you look at it, this woman doesn't look like she can joke.

But the piece of gold was already on the table.

He didn't hesitate, he went over immediately, grabbed it in his hand, and saw that she didn't make any moves, so he was relieved.

"Senior Bai, it's the juniors who are wrong, and the juniors apologize to you."

When the gold arrived, his attitude immediately changed for the better, and he was extremely respectful.

Concubine Bai Ruofei glanced at him lightly, then lowered her head, looked at the words he had transcribed, and ignored him.

Luo Qingfeng didn't want to stay any longer, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Luo Qingfeng went downstairs briskly, and saw that Granny Ning was closing her eyes to recuperate, so she didn't bother, and left quickly.

After he walked down the steps, Granny Ning slowly opened her eyes, thought for a while, got up and closed the door, and locked it.

Luo Qingfeng walked out of the Demon Suppression Courtyard and went directly to the Red Leaf Alley.

He originally wanted to buy some sugar gourds, big roast goose and other good things to bring to Ah Ya and Grandma, but he had no other change on him except the piece of gold.

There are ten taels of gold, and ordinary shops can't change it.

Besides, he also wanted Crow to see this piece of gold, after all, that stupid little girl didn't even know the gold at the beginning, so he picked it up.

He took her gold, and gave her back even more gold, and also paid back the money owed to Sister Nightingale.

Now, finally debt-free and light!

Luo Qingfeng was in a happy mood, and soon came to the door of the small courtyard and raised his hand to knock on the door.

But after knocking for a long time, no one opened the door.

"Hey, aren't you home?"

Luo Qingfeng stood at the door, a little puzzled.

At this time, where can Crow and Grandma go? Did you go grocery shopping?

Just when he was puzzled, he suddenly heard his grandmother's voice from inside: "Aya, why don't you open the door?" ”

Well? At home!

Luo Qingfeng hurriedly raised his hand and knocked on the door again.

However, no one came to open the door.

Grandma seemed to come to open the door, but was stopped by Aven.

Luo Qingfeng knocked a few more times, and seeing that there was still no one to open the door, he was puzzled, so he immediately stepped back, jumped over, and jumped directly into the wall.

In the small courtyard, Crow was standing there blankly.

The old man was standing in the corridor, and when he saw someone suddenly jumping over the wall and coming in, he was startled, and when he saw that it was him, he was stunned and surprised: "Ah Feng, is it you?" You...... How did you jump over the wall and get in? ”

Luo Qingfeng was a little embarrassed and said, "I knocked on the door for a long time, why didn't Aya open the door for me?" ”

Raven turned her back to him, ignoring him.

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly said, "I am still boiling water in the house, you talk, you talk." ”

After saying that, he entered the house and closed the door.

Luo Qingfeng walked up to Ah Ya, looked at her with a puzzled expression, and said, "What's wrong?" Who you off? ”

Aya glanced at him, with a cold face, and did not speak.

Luo Qingfeng saw that the sun was about to set, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, took out the piece of gold, handed it to her, and said, "Aya, look, what is this?" Do you still know each other? ”

Raven glanced at it and lowered her head again.

"Gold! Is it bigger than yours? ”

Luo Qingfeng stuffed the gold into her little hand and said, "This piece of gold is full of ten taels, enough to repay your money." ”

Then he was a little embarrassed and said, "That, I don't even have a penny on me, can you give me a piece of silver?" A few taels is fine. ”

Ten taels of gold to pay off the debt, let her find a few taels of silver, it's very reasonable, right?

Raven glanced at the gold in his hand, looked up at him again, then suddenly turned around, ran into the kitchen, and slammed the door from the inside, not wanting to see him again.

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Then he said: "Forget it, I won't ask you for silver, anyway, I still have gold tomorrow." I'll come over tomorrow and buy you a sugar gourd and a big roast goose, okay? ”

In the kitchen, no one responded.

Luo Qingfeng saw that the sun had already set, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he had to say, "I'll come back tomorrow night." ”

After saying that, he did not linger any longer, went over and opened the courtyard door, and walked out.

"What a strange little girl."

"I don't know how many medicinal materials are needed to treat her condition, and the golden lotus under the Buddha last time should not be enough."

"It's pitiful that the little girl can't speak."

Luo Qingfeng thought as he walked towards the outside of the small courtyard.

When he was about to reach the mouth of the alley, he suddenly heard the sound of a strong wind whistling behind him, and turned his head to see that Aya, dressed in a black dress, ran over at a gallop, holding the piece of gold he had just given her.

Luo Qingfeng thought she didn't want to, so she hurriedly said: "This is to pay you back, the silver from the last time in the Big Buddha Temple should indeed be given to you, you don't have to be polite, I can still earn a lot of gold in the future......"

Raven stopped in front of him, handed the gold to him, and shook his head vigorously.

Luo Qingfeng said: "You take it, if you don't want to go, just give me a piece of silver." ”

The crow continued to shake his head, and seeing that he did not understand, he immediately put the piece of gold in his little mouth, bit it hard, and handed it to him again.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at it suspiciously, and found that the place where she bit the gold did not sink down, but revealed the black stuff inside.

"What the hell ????"

Luo Qingfeng was shocked, and hurriedly took it, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

This bite almost broke his big teeth.

Looking down, the gold was not only not dented, but also the paint had fallen off, revealing something black inside.

His face changed dramatically.

How can it be?

He immediately took out his Demon Slayer Blade, then put the gold in his hand on the ground, and said, "Crow, stand aside." ”

Raven took a step back.

Luo Qingfeng raised the broken knife in his hand and slashed at the gold.

The star power surged, and the sword flashed.

"Zheng—"

Sparks flew and the sound of metal clashing rang out.

Finished!

Hearing this voice, Luo Qingfeng's heart suddenly chuckled and sank into the bottomless abyss.

The gold was split in half.

He hurriedly bent down and picked it up, and took a closer look - iron! It turned out to be a big lump of iron!

Even the yellow skin on the outside is not golden!

He was dumbfounded, a little incredulous.

Aya looked at him from the sidelines, and a smile secretly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This is probably the first time she has smiled and this happy expression in front of anyone other than her sister and grandmother.

Luo Qingfeng held two pieces of iron thallium in a daze, and suddenly there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart.

Iron?

How can it be iron?

If other vendors on the street lied to him like this, it was natural and acceptable.

But how could it be her?

The white seniors of the dignified library pavilion, such a beautiful and noble woman, and may be the descendant of the great demon, how can she be a liar?

He was shocked and incredulous.

No!

How can a big man like Senior Bai be a liar?

Such a big man, it is estimated that he has never seen gold like a crow, and he is probably deceived by someone!

It must be so!

Thinking of this, he immediately cleaned up his mood, put away the Demon Slayer Blade and two pieces of iron thallium, and said to the girl beside him: "Ah Crow, don't worry, I should have taken it by mistake, you wait for me, I'll be back later." This fake gold was given to me by someone else, and I guess she was also deceived, so I went to her and asked. Don't worry, I'll definitely pay you back. ”

After saying that, he immediately walked out of the alley quickly and walked towards the Demon Suppression Courtyard.

Poor Bai seniors were also deceived.

I don't know which daring guy dared to deceive Senior Bai, and dared to give her fake gold, it is estimated that she will definitely be broken by Granny Ning and twist her head at that time.

It's okay.

If Senior Bai knew that this piece of gold was fake, he would definitely be very embarrassed, and then exchange it for a real piece of gold, maybe he would compensate him for one more piece, and maybe he would give him a little more gold, and maybe he would give him Xuanjin directly.

Thinking like this, he quickly entered the North Courtyard.

However, when he came to the library, he suddenly found that the door of the attic was closed.

There was a note on the door that read: I have something to do and come back tomorrow.

Luo Qingfeng suddenly secretly complained.

It's over, and I'm going to lose my trust in that little girl like Crow again.

If he didn't get the gold, he didn't expect to sleep well all night.

Ay......

After a moment of dejected desolation at the door, he sighed and had to leave first.

Forget it, come back tomorrow.

Don't worry, tomorrow he will come to help Senior Bai translate that travelogue, Senior Bai will definitely come back, and he will definitely not lose his gold.

Thinking like this, he felt a little relieved and walked away quickly.

After he walked away, two heads were exposed in front of a window in the attic of the library.

"Miss, isn't it a little too ......?"

The boy looked at ...... Somewhat pathetic......"

"Actually, there is nothing to be sorry for, he soiled Miss's hands, and he had the audacity to sit with Miss, and it was already Miss's extra kindness to give him a piece of iron."

"What? That kid even touched Miss's noble slender hand? Damn it! Where did you touch it? How long has it been touching? Did you get anything dirty on it? Damn, the old body went to cut him! ”

"Oh, the hand touched? Hmph, I just ate the bear's heart leopard gall! Tomorrow when he comes, give him another bag of fake silver! Trick him into crying! ”

The sun sets and night falls.

Luo Qingfeng returned to the red leaf alley with a sad face.

Crow was standing silently alone in the dark alley, obediently waiting for him.

Luo Qingfeng looked at this stupid little girl, and felt very guilty, and said, "Aya, I'm ...... I didn't get it. The man is out on business, and he won't be back until tomorrow. But don't worry, I'll get it tomorrow, and I'll buy you sugar gourds to eat when the time comes, five skewers! ”

The crow looked at him quietly for a moment, then stretched out his little hand, and in his little hand there was a piece of silver, and handed it to him.

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, looking at the silver in her hand for a while, and her heart suddenly became a little sour.

"Crow...... Thank you ......."

"I ......"

Raven blinked her dark and pure eyes, tucked the silver into his belt, then took a few steps back and waved her little hand at him.

Then he turned around and walked away briskly.

Luo Qingfeng stared blankly at the dark alley in front of him, as if he vaguely saw this little girl who couldn't speak, and suddenly jumped up and down.
