Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Town Rests
The white full moon slowly faded in the sky, the fog rose, and the sky was about to light up.
"Ah," the pawnshop boy on the silent street yawned, rubbed his eyes and began to prepare for the pawnshop to open, first lighting the lantern under the eaves, and then opening the door to sweep the fallen leaves in front of the door.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came into his ears, and he looked into the distance, and three thin figures in the mist walked slowly, they were supporting each other, looking very embarrassed.
The three of them walked towards them, only to see one person say, "Little Er, I have something to do here." ”
Xiao Xu was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted and said, "Several people are invited," he never judges guests by appearance, and there are too many real people who don't show their faces in this land.
Walking into the store with three people, he made a pot of tea and poured it for a few people, put the teapot down, and asked on the side, "What do you want to do?"
After speaking, he looked at the three teenagers carefully, and only then did he talk to him, this person's face was very pale, the other two were silent, and one of them buried his head very low, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.
Several people have some wheezing voices, as if they are coming in a hurry, there must be an extraordinary encounter with this appearance, although a few people look young, but he will not slack off, as long as there is money to earn.
"We're not going to be things, we're going to sell things. ”
The pale boy's words made him stunned again, but he didn't care and asked, "Then what are you going to sell?"
The young man untied the backpack behind him and put it on the table, he untied the backpack and said, "Look at this thing." ”
He opened his backpack and was silent, he carefully examined the black thing in front of him.
The room was silent, and the pale boy let him watch carefully without urging.
After a while, he said slightly: "Your Excellency, this is a blood-devouring silkworm?"
"I knew you could see it. ”
"This is not a good thing, at most five hundred taels. ”
The corners of the pale young man's mouth curled and chuckled: "You don't have to think about it, this blood-devouring silkworm can be used directly without feeding, and it is priced at eight hundred taels per mouth." ”
Xiao Er, surnamed Xu, didn't expect this young man to be so sophisticated, and what he said was so resolute that there seemed to be no room for counteroffer.
Xiao Xu's eyes rolled and he was weighing the benefits in his mind, and when he saw him pondering again, the pale young man said: "Since you know this thing, you should know its value, the price I want is not high, we are in a hurry to use the money, if you can't accept it, we will change to another place." ”
He still didn't speak, first touched and poked at the blood-devouring silkworm.
Then he said briskly: "Your Excellency doesn't have to say this, okay, I'll take money for your excellency for eight hundred taels." ”
"We want cash, not silver. ”
"Okay, okay, I'll go get it. ”
With that, he went to the pawnshop.
After a while, he walked out with a small wooden box in both hands, he put the wooden box on the table, opened it, and said, "Your Excellency, you can take an inventory." ”
"No need, the reputation of the one-name pawnshop is still good. ”
After he finished speaking, he wrapped the quilt and stood up to leave, Xiao Xu sent the three of them to the door and saluted, "A few slow walks." ”
Liu Yi, who had been silent after leaving the pawnshop, asked, "What will they do with the blood-devouring silkworm?"
Qin Sishan said: "This is not clear, since you have already made a decision, don't think about anything else, now let's go find an inn to rest," she patted the wooden box in her hand and regained some anger on her face.
Hearing her words, Liu Yi fell silent again, as if he hadn't crossed the barrier in his heart yet, and Qin Sishan didn't care about walking forward with Yu An.
The three of them walked into an inn and opened two rooms, Liu Yi and Yu An slept in one, and Qin Sishan slept alone.
With a lot of silver, there is no need to save, so I called hot water and poured it into the bathtub and soaked comfortably.
After Yu An finished washing Liu Yi came to wash again, he buried himself in the bathtub with his eyes exposed, and couldn't help but recall everything he experienced yesterday.
The steaming hot water he curled up in the tub was pleasant, but his heart still didn't feel warm, the rag on his right wrist had been replaced with gauze, and the wound had not yet healed, and blood was still visible.
Looking at the misty sky outside the window, what he thought about was not the life and death he experienced in the Taoist temple, but his decision to sell the blood-devouring silkworm, as if he had buried more than a dozen lives with his own hands.
But it's useless to think about it alone, what he needs is rest, and he is tired from the experience in the Taoist temple and the long journey.
After drying his body and getting dressed, he stepped over the screen and saw that Yu An had fallen asleep on the bed in the room, with tears on his face.
He smiled dumbly, this boy who was a few years younger than him was very different from the first time they met, he had been quietly beside them and did not make a sound, and now he was holding back the emotions in his heart.
Yu An had already fallen asleep and he was not able to do it yet, there was one more thing he had to do as soon as possible.
He gently walked out of the room and closed the door.
On the corridor on the second floor, he looked down, and there was no one in the store at this time, only the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter at the door.
A scent suddenly penetrated his nostrils, and he followed the smell to look down, only to see a person drinking in the center of the first floor, and a few side dishes on the table.
And the smell he smelled was the aroma of the sauced beef on the table, and his eyes fell on the face of the person who was drinking, and his expression became strange, this person was Qin Sishan.
He didn't think much about it in his heart, after all, they were not the same race, he just wanted to send Yu An to Tai'an City as soon as possible, and it didn't feel good for him to get too close to this demon clan.
Walked down from the second floor, he came to the counter to find Xiao Er, asked for a pair of pen and ink, a letter paper, after grinding the ink, he took the pen and dipped the ink, but hesitated.
He didn't know how to write, he just didn't follow the rules and went down the mountain privately, and now he was with the demon clan, if he told the master truthfully, I'm afraid he would come immediately.
After thinking for a while, he felt that it would be good to report safety to the master, so he wrote down: The disciple will return to the sect in a few days when he is well, and the master should not worry, Liu Yi respectfully.
After writing it, he wrapped the letter and handed it to Xiao Erdao: "Please help me send it to the Taiji Sect and hand it to the lark." ”
Xiao Er took the letter and said, "Okay, the guest officer's place is quite far away, and if you send a letter, it will cost five taels of silver." ”
Liu Yi was stunned when he heard this, he didn't have any silver on him, so he had to turn his head to look at Qin Sishan, who was drinking, and he said to Xiao Er: "You wait a minute." ”
After speaking, he walked towards Qin Sishan, she was pouring a glass of wine, and when she saw Liu Yi coming over, she said, "Why can't you sleep?" ”
Liu Yi didn't answer, he said with some hesitation: "You... You lend me five taels of silver. ”
"Five taels, don't be deceived by that little two, two taels of silver is enough, you just go and give it to him."
After that, she took out two taels of broken silver and threw it over, Liu Yi took it and took it to Xiao Er according to her words.
There were only three of them in the lobby on this floor, and Xiao Er also heard her words clearly, so he didn't think about anything else and took over the silver two: "Okay, guest officer, don't worry, this letter will arrive soon." ”
