Xu Ling walked on a country road.

Someone behind him suddenly stopped him, he looked back, Gu Daliang was panting, and called his name: "Xu Ling, you stop." ”

Xu Ling was puzzled, "Big brother, why did you chase after you?" ”

Gu Daliang took out a cloth bag from his arms, threw it to him without looking at it, and snorted: "My father was afraid that you would starve to death when you went out, so he specially asked me to send you two hundred yuan, and there was a word." ”

"What?" Xu Ling took the money and was a little overwhelmed.

"My dad said, either make money and come back, or you'll - don't come back!"

Gu Daliang's face was red and his neck was thick, let him see it, his father clearly didn't want Xu Ling to come back, who could have the ability to make so much money in three months?

But my father is also for my sister's good, as long as Xu Ling doesn't come back, I will bring my sister home in a few years, she is still young, even if she looks for it again, it is better than following Xu Ling.

Xu Ling naturally understood the meaning of his words, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I know this." ”

"You know?" Gu Daliang looked at him suspiciously, when did Xu Ling talk so well?

Xu Ling said: "Since I plan to change my mind, I will definitely do what I say, if I can't make money, I won't come back, and ask someone to give you the money, but I also have one thing I want to ask you." ”

"What do you say first?"

"After I left, there was not even a man at home to work, Xu Ping was still young, and he was brought by me to become a bastard, if you don't dislike it, what work is there at home, just let him help do it; And the roof of my house is broken, I am afraid of leakage when it rains, there is no firewood at home, and there is no water in the tank, let alone the food to eat......" Xu Ling babbled, sniffled, and untied the cloth bag that Gu Daliang gave him, and there were two strings of copper coins in it.

He gave it all to Gu Daliang, "I have my own ability to make money and eat when I go out, I borrowed this money from you, you take it back to Gu Yi, let her add some food to the family, and wait for me to come back." ”

Gu Daliang took the money, his expression was a little puzzled, and he was a little uneasy, "Xu Ling, you really ......"

He wanted to say that Xu Ling had really gotten better? But the relationship between him and Xu Ling is not good, and he cares too much about this.

In the end, Gu Daliang accepted the money and muttered with a snort: "Even if you still have a little conscience, you can go, you can rest assured about your family's affairs." ”

At this moment, the stones in Xu Ling's heart were completely put down.

He thanked Gu Daliang repeatedly, said goodbye to him, and walked along the country road in the direction of the town.

There were no people on the road, and there were no crops to be seen, but there were trees on both sides of the road, and crops behind the trees, and the river could be seen here, but it was getting farther and farther away.

Xu Ling walked slowly on the road alone, eating dates when he was hungry, drinking water in the space when he was thirsty, and he was quite comfortable without others.

The food in the space has grown a little bigger, but it is still a few days away from being able to eat.

Xu Ling rummaged through the memories in his mind, thinking about where he was going.

He had only been to the town before, and there were neighboring towns, and it took two or three hours to walk from Lianhuawanzi to the town, the town was called Erfang Town, the place was not big, and they were all Xu Ling's "old acquaintances".

He used to gamble, drink, borrow money and make trouble there, and he did all kinds of bad things, the town is not big, and the flow of people is also small, and he has long understood Xu Ling's mixed name.

Now that he was going to eat, he naturally couldn't go to the place where he was in the past.

Before leaving, Gu Litian showed him a clear way and asked him to go to the dock to carry his bag, the dock in Erfang Town could not go, and the town next door was not far away, but it was not big, and it was boring at a glance.

Xu Ling thought about it again and again, and decided to go farther away and go to the county seat to have a look. He had never been to the county seat before, but he had only heard that the wharves in the county town were full of people coming and going, and there were vendors from other places everywhere, selling everything, and he could make money casually, but he was only tempted, not moving.

Thinking like this, Xu Ling walked in the direction of the county seat, passing through Erfang Town on the way, he only glanced at it from a distance, and saw a wooden archway with the name of the town written on it, and the street buildings at the end of the town at a glance were only one or two two-story wooden buildings at the highest.

It's far worse than what I saw in the TV series.

Xu Ling shook his head and walked straight away.

He had no money on him, and he couldn't find anyone to take him for a ride, so he walked and walked on two legs, from day to night, and before dark, Xu Ling found an inn.

There was a blue cloth banner hanging at the door of the inn, Xu Ling was carrying a burden, but he didn't go in, this was already a town he didn't know, called Qinghe Town, while it was not completely dark, he turned around the street and found a place to sell goods.

The shouting of the fish sellers, the meat sellers, and the vegetable sellers are gone, and the things are all cheap, and only the people who come to buy things are cheap.

Xu Ling had already packed some dates in the space into his baggage, he found a place to sell dates, and after shouting for a while, someone came to ask for the price.

"The dates are ripe?"

"It's not all ripe yet, this is the jujube tree I planted at home, and it ripens earlier than other trees, but it's sweet, do you want to buy some and taste it at home?" Xu Ling sold hard, and the buyer was a woman, looking young, but her face had some traces of age, and the clothes on her body had patches, but they were very clean.

Xu Ling broke half of the dates and handed them to the woman, "Taste it, it's not sweet and you don't need money." ”

The woman was amused by Xu Ling, took the jujube and took a bite, it was sweet and crunchy, like honey.

These dates are picked and put into the space, and not only do they not wilt at the end of the day, but the taste is better.

The woman was a little moved, "How do you sell it?" ”

Xu Ling smiled kindly: "Six cents a catty." ”

"It's not cheap!" The woman exclaimed, "Six cents are almost enough to buy two catties of grain!" ”

Putting ordinary people is enough for an adult man to eat for a day.

Xu Ling took note of this in his heart, he actually thought carefully before setting the price, there are not many dates in the space, and they will kill more than thirty catties, if they are sold too cheaply, it is estimated that he will really starve to death halfway.

Xu Ling pretended to smile bitterly and begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, it's almost dark, I don't compete with you for the interest of this penny or two, ten cents and two catties, is it okay to cheapen you for two cents?" ”

The woman hesitated again and again, and finally asked Xu Ling to weigh ten yuan of dates for her, Xu Ling borrowed the name of the fish stall, and the woman was still a little unhappy when she paid, feeling that the dates were stained with fishy smell.

finally opened, but the first customer was so difficult to serve, Xu Ling was a little exhausted, where did he do this in his previous life!

If it weren't for the fact that there was a big family behind him, he would have wanted to give up on himself.

But the results are good.

Xu Ling also said that he did not forget to give three jujubes to others, and the vendor who sold fish saw that others were kind, and finally weighed two catties of jujubes.

Xu Ling sold almost the dates in the baggage, and with twenty yuan in his hand, he stopped selling them, went to the inn, spent eight yuan to ask for a shop, and fell asleep with hunger and grievances about the strangeness around him.
