Chapter 466: Remnants
Li Zhiran and Ma Fangyu walked side by side in the downtown area, and in the eyes of outsiders, they didn't look like two opposing sides at all, but like very good friends.
However, compared with Li Zhiran, Ma Fangyu seems much more restrained, after all, his heart is not completely open, because he is afraid that once he relaxes, he may fall into the other party's way.
Maybe only when he gets along with Li Zhiran, Ma Fangyu will be so cautious.
After nearly an hour, under the infection of Li Zhiran, Ma Fangyu gradually relaxed and gradually devoted himself to the joy of this bustling city.
After all, this is the day before the appointed day, and after this day, you may never see today's scene again.
Although the things sold in the downtown are mainly related to cultivation, there are many people who choose to bring some mortal things here, after all, cultivators are also human beings, as long as they do not transcend the seven emotions and six desires, they also have a demand for these.
Li Zhiran seemed particularly interested in these things, and after visiting several places, she finally stopped by a street stall.
Her eyes lit up as she stared at an ornament on the stall, a pair of butterfly-like hair ornaments that shimmered with gold.
After looking at it for a few minutes, Li Zhiran was reluctant to take her eyes off. At this time, the seller saw the business opportunity, hurried over, and asked, "Isn't the girl in love with that pair of butterfly hair accessories?"
Li Zhiran nodded and said, "Yes, I think that butterfly hair ornament is a little special, so I like it a little." ”
The seller smiled: "The girl is really good-looking, yes, I can vouch for my personality, this butterfly hair ornament is indeed unique, and it contains very important significance." ”
Hearing him say this, Ma Fangyu was also interested, and took a closer look at the butterfly hair ornament, only to find that this butterfly hair ornament was unique.
It turns out that this pair of butterfly hair ornaments have half folded wings, but it doesn't look like there is any sense of disobedience, if they are together, they can just make up a pair of wings, like a pair of people holding each other.
"I don't know what kind of meaning it has, I would like to hear about it!" Li Zhiran asked curiously.
The seller set up a posture and began to talk.
"This butterfly hair ornament is named Remnant, which was given to me by someone who is destined to do so. About 10 years ago, when I met him, he was dying, and before he died, he gave me this fragment and told me that although it was broken, it was made by his own hands, and it was unique in the world, implying unswerving love until death. ”
Then he told me a story. It is said that there is a pair of lovers who are not blessed, and their love is not tolerated by everyone in the world. In order to be able to be together, they do not hesitate to be enemies of the world. However, after all, they couldn't fight against everyone in the world, and they were finally captured. However, even if they were captured, they always held hands, and would rather die than give up on each other. In order to force them to let go, some people began to come up with various methods, including whipping their hands, burning their hands with fire, and freezing their hands with ice...... Eventually, all methods were tried, and none of them succeeded in getting them to let go of themselves. In a fit of rage, they cut off their arms and forced them to separate, and they paid with their lives. Although they were buried separately after their deaths, who knows if they would live together in another form. ”
In the end, the seller's tone was a little heavy, similar to the mood of Li Zhiran and Ma Fangyu at the moment.
This is indeed a poignant love story, and this remnant is a symbol of the lovers with broken arms, who are deeply in love, although they die without regrets.
After a while, Li Zhiran walked out of her sadness and said, "You can show me the remnants!"
The seller answered, quickly took the remnants, and handed them over to Li Zhiran.
Li Zhiran began to carefully examine the remnant, only to find that its carving was exquisite, and it was absolutely extraordinary.
The more Li Zhiran looked at it, the more she liked it, and she was very glad to be able to meet such a beautiful thing here.
Seeing Li Zhiran's reaction, the seller was naturally overjoyed, because he finally had hope of selling it.
"Girl, you are naturally beautiful, and this remnant is very compatible with you, and if it can be worn on your head, it will surely complement each other, and it will definitely set you off more beautifully. ”
Hearing these words of praise, Li Zhiran smiled slightly, and her eyes shifted from the remnants to Ma Fangyu's body, which seemed to have a bit of inquiry.
Being stared at by Li Zhiran, Ma Fangyu unconsciously trembled in her heart, thinking that she would not let herself pay for her.
The seller also saw Li Zhiran's intentions, and with his ability to observe words and feelings, he naturally thought that she had a lot to do with the man in front of him. It seems that whether this deal can be reached or not, the man in front of him is the key.
So, the seller turned to Ma Fangyu and said: "I think you have an extraordinary temperament, and this girl is a talented and beautiful woman, a natural pair, if you can buy this pair of remnants and give them to your beloved, it can symbolize that your love is stronger than gold......
Before the seller's words were finished, Ma Fangyu immediately interrupted: "Stop, stop, stop! What a beloved, what love is stronger than Jin, I am an ordinary friend with her, not what you think." ”
Hearing this, the seller is like a monk in the second zhang, confused. With his experience, this woman's expression clearly has a bit of admiration, but why this man is different from what he imagined.
Now, he found that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to look at Li Zhiran next to him with an embarrassed face.
Instead of being angry, Li Zhiran smiled and said, "Yes, you can treat me as a friend, it seems that you have made progress." ”
After she said this, Ma Fangyu realized that he had inadvertently called her a friend just now, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, because even he couldn't believe that one day, he would look at the woman in front of him like this.
Li Zhiran continued: "What if I want you to buy it and give it to me?"
After saying this, Li Zhiran's eyes were like a puddle of clear water, staring at Ma Fangyu deadly, quietly waiting for his reply.
At this moment, Ma Fangyu couldn't help but have an illusion, could it be said that she also had feelings for men and women towards herself?
Soon, Ma Fangyu denied his speculation, with his understanding of Li Zhiran, she is the most elusive woman in the world, and she must not be deceived by her appearance.
Ma Fangyu reined in his thoughts and replied, "This doesn't seem appropriate!"
Li Zhiran retorted: "What's wrong, don't forget, you still owe me something." ”
As soon as these words came out, Ma Fangyu was slightly surprised, and asked in disbelief: "Are you sure that this is what you asked me for?"
Li Zhiran nodded in conviction, "Yes, it's such a simple thing, I believe you can do it." ”
If this is the case, Ma Fangyu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know what the other party wanted to ask for from him before, and he once thought that she would definitely embarrass himself, but he never thought that it would be this, it would be much easier.
As for the moral behind it, as long as it is not an actual thing, Ma Fangyu can not care about it at all.
After making up his mind, Ma Fangyu said to the seller: "Put this thing away, I want it!"
Hearing this, the seller, who had lost hope because he said the wrong thing, immediately became excited, quickly gave Ma Fangyu a thumbs up, and replied: "Okay, I'll put it away." ”
With that, the seller quickly found a wooden box, took the remnants from Li Zhiran's hand, and carefully put it into the wooden box.
After doing this, the seller handed it to Ma Fangyu with a smile on his face, and gestured five fingers to him, "Childe, settle the account now!"
Ma Fangyu nodded and said, "Isn't it just five taels of silver, it's simple!" After speaking, Ma Fangyu was about to pay the money, but saw that the seller shook his head, obviously denying the price.
"It won't be fifty taels of silver, right? Okay! Okay! Okay! It's cheap for you today!" Ma Fangyu was not short of money, so he didn't want to worry about the other party.
Unexpectedly, even at this price, the seller still shook his head, and Ma Fangyu exclaimed: "Do you want five hundred taels of silver?"
The seller replied: "One price, five hundred taels of gold, not a penny!"
These words directly shocked Ma Fangyu and Li Zhiran, no matter how you look at it, this remnant is just a mortal product with exquisite work, even if the meaning behind it is extraordinary, it is impossible to be worth this price, he is so indiscriminately bidding, it is better to grab it.
Anyway, she didn't have to pay for it, she leisurely watched from the wall, and Ma Fangyu said dissatisfiedly: "I finally know now, why can't you sell this thing after keeping it for so long, such a high price, I'm afraid only a fool will buy it." ”
This got to the point, and the seller sighed, and then explained: "Don't tell you, you said, there were indeed several customers who took a fancy to it before, and they all let it go because of this price." In fact, I know that the price is ridiculously high, but it is only a matter of loyalty to a man, and it was made clear when the man gave it to me that if I want to resell it, it must not be less than five hundred taels of gold, otherwise I would not have been able to get it. ”
Listening to his explanation, Ma Fangyu was very surprised, this seller knew that it was difficult to sell at this price, but he never lowered the price for the sake of a promise to a dead person, which shows that he is a person who values faithfulness.
"Then did he explain the reason to you?" asked Ma Fangyu.
The seller replied: "He did say it, he said that this remnant represents love, which is a priceless treasure, and if he meets his destined person in the future, he must pay a certain price to get it, and only in this way can this remnant show its due weight." ”
So that's the case, Ma Fangyu and Li Zhiran both understood that if they really love each other, let alone five hundred taels of gold, even if it is expensive, it is worth paying.
For example, it was not Li Zhiran who was standing in front of Ma Fangyu at this time, but Feng Qingluan, who he was thinking about, if she took a fancy to this thing, Ma Fangyu would be willing to take it down even if she poured all the money on her body, this is the reason.
However, Ma Fangyu has no love for Li Zhiran, so he is naturally unwilling.
On the contrary, it was Li Zhiran, the corners of her mouth curved a faint arc, and said: "For you, isn't it worth five hundred taels of gold in exchange for a few lives?"
It seems that Li Zhiran is determined to take this thing, Ma Fangyu showed a wry smile, thinking that what she said made sense, it would be a blessing to be able to use money to save a few lives.
It's just that he still remembered what he said to the seller just now, "Only a fool will buy it", but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, it would be returned to himself.
Ma Fangyu smiled awkwardly, then took out a gold ingot worth five hundred taels from himself, and handed it over to the seller with some reluctance.
"Then, five hundred taels of gold, a lot, is it time to hand over the remnants to me?"
"That's, that's!" the seller handed the remnants to Ma Fangyu as he took the gold.
Seeing so much gold, the seller could no longer hide his excitement, he immediately put away the gold, and then began to pack it, ready to close the stall.
It's no wonder that with so much gold in his body, who is still working so hard to set up this stall.
Ma Fangyu handed the remnants to Li Zhiran, "This is what you want, give it to you!"
Although Li Zhiran was delighted, she didn't take it in a hurry, but said: "Since you gave it to me, naturally you have to put it on for me with your own hands!"
Hearing this, Ma Fangyu was stunned.
