On this day, the wind was beautiful and the sky was cloudless.

Cangcheng is still bustling and noisy, with people coming and going on the streets, and there is a lot of traffic.

Niulan Street is a very famous street in Cangcheng, which has an excellent location and is in the center of Cangcheng. It connected the northern city, where the nobles lived, and the southern city, where the commoners lived. And here is a dense number of shops, most of them are strange and strange things, and the rich and unrich people in Cangcheng like to come here to hunt for treasures in the sand and enjoy the taste of Taobao.

It's noon, and there's a ridiculous show going on in a shop that specializes in magic crystals.

Since it was noon, there was hardly anyone in the shop, and at this time a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old walked at the door, dressed ordinarily, with a thin body and a fairly handsome face.

The young man walked into the store, walked straight to the counter of the low-level magic crystals without looking at anything, picked up the five first-level magic crystals in the counter and examined them carefully, and said with a very satisfied expression:

"Boss, I want these five first-level magic crystals, how much is it. ”

The shopkeeper was a short and fat middle-aged man, and when he saw the voice, he immediately became interested, but when he saw that the person who came only asked for five lowest-level magic crystals, he lost his spirit, and said casually: "Eighty crystal coins each, a total of four hundred crystal coins." ”

"What? eighty-one, why don't you go and grab it?" said the young man loudly.

The short and fat shopkeeper didn't think it was when he heard it, and things like this kind of bargaining were staged every day, so he pouted his lips and said, "The market is at this price, do you want to love it." ”

"Market price, but the shop not far from you only sells 70 crystals a piece. The boy continued.

"Seventy is seventy. Take the money. The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and said.

The young man smiled: "Didn't I buy it at seventy just now, and there is less boss." ”

"Needless to say, sixty-five one. The shopkeeper gave in again.

The young man smiled again and said: "Hehe, boss, in fact, I found a thing, your store is quite dark, such a first-class magic crystal, you go to the southern wilderness mountain range to buy it, it will only be more than ten crystal coins, how can it change hands to Cangcheng for sixty-five, six or seven times the profit, your heart is really black enough." ”

When the shopkeeper saw that this person had bought some small things, he actually engaged in a personal attack, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "What does the child know? Do you know how far it is from the barbarian city in the wild mountain range to here? And you have to hire someone to escort the transportation, and how expensive the annual cost of the shop in Cangcheng is? Buy it or not, don't buy it for me and leave." ”

The young man didn't care, and continued: "From Mancheng to Cangcheng a total of four hundred and sixty kilometers, the general use of tasks, the mercenary fee is very low, besides, you transport a lot of goods at a time, like this kind of first-class magic crystal apportionment, probably one or two crystal coins, and Cangcheng's shop fees, like you, are fifty amethyst coins a year, which is equivalent to five thousand crystal coins, boss, I'm not wrong, actually... I don't mean anything, I just want you to be cheaper, hehe. ”

"Eh... How do you know so clearly, forget it, I'm afraid of you, fifty crystals a coin, one less is not sold. The stocky middle-aged man looked like he's seen a ghost.

"That's right," the young man smiled with satisfaction, and reached out to take the money from his bosom, but his brow furrowed, as if he suddenly remembered something. A hand was stretched out in his arms, but his head looked mysteriously left and right, and when he saw that there was no one, he leaned over to the boss in a low voice and whispered: "Boss, I remember that having the golden token of the night family seems to be able to get a five-percent discount!"

"Yes, what? do you have?" replied Humpty Dumpty, nodding his head. The night family is the patron saint of the south, and as a child of the night family, he has more or less certain rights in the south, and the golden token can buy things at a fifty percent discount. But those who have the golden token are the direct children of the Ye family, and who will be short of money in the general direct line?

"Hey, hey!" the boy touched his head embarrassedly. Stretched out his hand and took out a golden token, and the word "night" on the token was a big dragon flying and phoenix dancing. "I'm ashamed, I am a little related to the young master who is light and crazy, so I borrowed his token and had nothing to play. Settle the score, boss. ”

"One hundred and twenty-five crystals. The short and fat landlord suddenly had a black line on his forehead, this business is definitely a loss, fortunately, this lord bought a cheap first-level magic crystal, if he bought a fifth- or sixth-level magic crystal, then I don't know how much he will lose.

"Okay, you take this money, I'm leaving, don't send it, I will definitely come back to take care of your business when I have time in the future." The young man smiled happily and picked up the five magic crystals and walked out of the store.

As soon as the young man came out of the store, a girl in white at the door of the store quickly leaned over and whispered, "Brother, have you bought it?"

Yes, the two are brother and sister of Ye Qinghan. Seeing his sister asking, Ye Qinghan nodded, looked left and right like a thief, and said in a low voice, "Okay, let's talk about it when we go back." ”

The two walked quickly, left Niulan Street, and turned into their courtyard from the small gate of Yejiabao.

"Hehe, I bought five magic crystals today, and each one is ten crystals cheaper than yesterday. ”

Entering the room, Ye Qinghan threw the magic crystal on the table, took a sip of water and said with a smile, seemingly satisfied with today's results.

"Brother, it's so powerful, quickly summon Xiao Hei out and give it to eat. Night whispered and picked up a magic crystal and laughed happily, for her, there is nothing in this world that makes her happy, as long as her brother is happy, she will be happy with everything.

"Well, Xiao Hei is out to eat. Ye Qinghan nodded, summoning the war beast Xiao Hei.

A white air flow overflowed from Ye Qinghan's chest, slowly condensed, and finally turned into a palm-sized war beast Xiao Hei. As if he had just woken up, Xiao Hei stretched out his two paws and rubbed his two drunken eyes, when he saw the magic crystal on the table. Immediately screamed happily, turned into an afterimage, flew to the table, grabbed the magic crystal and gnawed it.

"Sha, Sha!"

Looking at the war beast Xiao Hei, the expression of happiness after eating the magic crystal. The night was cold, but there was a pain in my heart.

It's been ten days since Xiao Hei summoned it, and on the first day, after receiving five magic crystals from the family's supply hall for Xiao Hei to eat. He has been keeping Xiao Hei in the war beast space, relying on battle qi cultivation to get it through the weak period.

Moreover, he also had three more hours a day to cultivate the battle qi, hoping that Xiao Hei would absorb the battle qi and grow up.

But!

It was only on the third day that he discovered a tragic event.

Xiao Hei didn't even absorb the battle qi anymore, and he didn't seem to like this kind of food very much.

In desperation, Ye Qinghan had no choice but to endure the pain and take out his savings for many years, and go out to buy magic crystals for Xiao Hei to eat and help him get through the weak period.

Although Ye Qinghan is a direct descendant of the family, Ye Tianlong's own grandson... But he was very poor, very poor. My father went early, and my father's relics were long since been recovered by the family. As soon as his father left, his family's status in the family plummeted. At the beginning, the family's monthly profits did not dare to be less, but since the grandfather went into hiding, the monthly profits have gradually decreased. So far, it's basically just enough to eat and drink. After the death of his mother, he spent some more, so Ye Qinghan was very poor, poorer than the marginal children of the Ye family.

So there was a bargain at the beginning of the night, and he bought magic crystals with pressure. So much so that I need my sister to go out of the wind when I buy magic crystals later, and use the family golden token to buy things, which is a shameful thing for the family, if I let the torture hall know, it will definitely be another punishment, so...

It's not a way to go on like this, Xiao Hei can eat so much, and if it goes on like this, he will definitely be unable to wear pants......

Thinking of the way he wore a pair of pants and carried the little war beast around begging for magic crystals! The night shuddered, pondered, and many thoughts flashed in his mind, and he must have an idea in his heart.

"Girl, I'm going to discuss something with you, I... I want to go far away. ”

"Oh, there you go. Ye Whisper was playing there with Xiao Hei in her arms, not noticing her brother's expression, and said casually.

"I mean... I want to go far away. Ye Qinghan saw that his sister didn't understand, so he repeated it again.

Seeing her brother like this, Ye Whisper finally reacted, and asked suspiciously, "Eh, is it far away?"

"Mancheng, a bit far, it may take half a year to go back and forth. Ye Qinghan said solemnly, with a lot of guilt in his eyes, after all, he left his sister a little girl at home, helpless.

Ye whispered and lowered her head and groaned, and her faint eyebrows curled up slightly, which made people feel distressed. But after only a while, Ye quietly raised his head, raised Xiao Hei in his hand, and asked, "Is it because of Xiao Hei?"

"Indeed, the magic crystals in the barbarian city are very cheap, only a few crystal coins, our family is poor, you know..."

"Well, when to go, I'll prepare for you. Ye whispered and smiled slightly, without revealing a trace of reluctance and grievance.

"Tomorrow morning, go early and come back early. Ye Qinghan also laughed, and did not show any reluctance or worry.

The two began to clean up with a smile on their faces, their expressions natural. It seems that I didn't go to a barbarian city hundreds of miles away, and it seems that I left not half a year but half a day.

All the reluctance, the concern in the head, and the sorrow are hidden in the eyes of the two of them, all in the words.
