"Quiet! Did you buy groceries today?"

An Quan in the courtyard was shouting to the back room.

Usually Anquan makes dinner at home, and the work of buying vegetables was officially taken over by the little female ghost some time ago.

After waiting for a long time and not hearing a quiet answer, An Quan had some doubts in his heart, so he got up and walked in. As soon as I walked into the house, I saw Jing Jing lying on the bed, covering herself tightly with the quilt.

An Quan lifted the quilt and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"

Why is this little female ghost so strange today?

After squirming quietly for a long time, he slowly spoke, "An Quan...... We're out of money......"

"Isn't there another piece of gold?"

An Quan felt a little strange, how long had it been, and such a large piece of gold had been spent?

"I just bought something, who knew it would be so careless......"

The little female ghost lowered her head and her voice was like that of a mosquito.

An Quan glanced at her room and knew why the money was being spent so quickly. A room full of new clothes, drawers full of gold and silver jewelry, and a lot of rouge gouache.

Even if you have a vault, you can't afford to use it like this.

In retrospect, a few days ago, Mei Niang had quietly told herself that she was a little lavish in spending money quietly, so let herself talk about her. At that time, I didn't pay attention to it, thinking about how many things she could buy as a little female ghost, and how much could she spend?

Didn't think about it...... It's really a lot of money!

An Quan's heart became more and more determined at this time, this little female ghost was definitely born in a big family before her death. Just rush to this method of spending money, where can ordinary people raise it!

"Forget it!"

The money was spent, and it was spent, anyway, it was originally brought by the little female ghost, but An Quan himself did eat the soft rice for so long. Could it be that he still has the right to reprimand her?

I remember that I still have a few eggs at home, so let's deal with them tonight.

The little female ghost saw that An Quan was not angry, so she slowly raised her head and asked cautiously, "Why don't you ...... I'll go up the mountain and let the little monkey look for it later, and see if there's any gold?"

"No need!"

An Quan directly refused.

No amount of silver is enough for the little girl to spend like this, and besides...... It's time to think of a way to make a living, if you always expect to pick up gold from Yan Mountain, it will naturally not work.

......

Early the next morning, An Quan pushed a small cart out of the door, and on the cart were some puppets carved last night. It's good to use these gadgets to tease children, and selling them for some money is enough for daily expenses.

Of course, the little female ghost didn't let go, and was caught and used as a coolie.

After finding a corner and placing the puppets in place, An Quan put down the rattan chair and lay down comfortably.

As for the little female ghost, her small rattan chair was also brought along, and she was lying on it like An Quan at the moment.

A small stall, two people all lying down and pretending to sleep, there is such a business?

An Quan: Their strange behavior attracted the attention of everyone around them.

Don't look at the little female ghost who is crazy when she is with An Quan on weekdays, but she looks very dignified outside, and she is not bad looking.

At this moment, the eyes of the men in the bazaar drifted here from time to time.

After a long time, the first business finally came to the door. This is a woman with a child, and the child can't help but rejoice when she sees the puppets in the shape of small animals on the Anquan stall, most of which are cute and cute.

"How much is this!"

The woman asked, picking up a puppet in the shape of a small monkey.

"Five pennies!"

An Quan didn't move, and this sentence was answered by the little female ghost.

These pieces of wood are all leftovers picked up by An Quan, and they are not worth a lot of money at all. As for carving, Anquan can make one in three or two clicks, and it really doesn't take much effort.

Moreover, these puppets did not depict gramophonic spells, and they could not move around on their own, which was far worse than the ones given to Chen Zheng.

Therefore, Anquan chose the pricing of five cents.

"So cheap?"

The woman really didn't expect it.

These puppets are delicate and lifelike. It only costs five cents?

The woman immediately took out ten pennies, and picked out a puppet in the shape of a pig, and bought it together.

This woman seems to have a good family background, but she is quite generous. But come to think of it, although the five cents are not much, who would be willing to spend this money to buy a plaything!

After the woman was gone, no one came to buy it for a long time.

The little female ghost was a little bored sitting there, so she took two pennies and went to buy two strings of sugar gourds and came back. Hand one to Anquan. Then, I sat down in front of the stall and ate.

It was a long time before someone came again.

This time it was an old couple, the woman seemed to be a little ill, and was supported by the old man towards the stall.

"This girl, I wonder if you can carve puppets here?"

It was the old woman who spoke, but her voice sounded a little out of breath, and it seemed that saying these words made her feel very difficult.

At this moment, the little female ghost can't be the master, so she can only turn her gaze to An Quan.

"Yes, I wonder what you two want?"

An Quan picked up the carving knife from his side and asked the old couple.

"Then ask this boy to carve one in my image!"

The old woman raised her right hand tremblingly, pointed to herself, and said.

"Yes!"

An Quan took a piece of wood, stared at the old woman for a few moments, and then moved quickly in his hand. After a while, a puppet identical to the old woman appeared.

"Okay...... All right...... It's so good! ...... like me."

The old woman took the puppet and rubbed it in her palm, muttering to herself.

"Even if it resembles it, how can it still speak like you?"

The old man standing beside the old woman had a bitter tone in his tone.

An Quan noticed that the old man secretly reached out and wiped the corners of his eyes while the woman was not paying attention.

"Two, this is ......"

Seeing that they were behaving strangely, An Quan couldn't help but ask out loud.

Hearing An Quan's question, the old woman was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of the child's jokes." My husband and wife have been married for more than 50 years. Now, the old woman is seriously ill, and her days are numbered......"

No wonder the old woman spoke so hard.

"I know I'm not in good health, so I don't have to say anything!"

The old man said with some distress.

"There is not much time left and right, if you don't talk about it now, you won't have a chance in the future!"

The old woman seemed to be able to see it, and a hearty smile appeared on her face.

Then he continued to say to An Quan: "This old man is reluctant to give up on me! It just so happened that I saw you selling puppets here, so I thought of carving one in my image." That way, he won't be able to see me anymore, and he will still have a thought......"

After the old woman said these words, the old man's face was already full of tears, and he was desperately wiping it with his sleeve at the moment.

Hearing the old woman's words, An Quan was speechless for a while.

As for the sentimental little female ghost, she can't cry anymore.

"Give me the puppet, there are still some places that have not been carved......"

An Quan said, taking the puppet from the old woman's hand.

Then, a phonogram was engraved on it.

Handing the puppet to the old woman again, An Quan pointed to the top and said, "If you have anything to say to the old gentleman, say it according to this ......place."

The old couple were a little stunned by An Quan's strange behavior, but they didn't think about it.

The old woman followed An Quan's instructions, pressed the place on the puppet, and then whispered, "Old man, ......"

"Old man......"

"Old man......"

......
