Walking out of the dilapidated alleys, you will see the bustle and bustle, with many people getting up early in the morning and selling vegetables with dew on the spot.

Xu Baichuan exhaled, looked back at Yizhuang in the alley, and felt that it was very novel, this is clearly two worlds, one doesn't want people to stay longer, and this one wants to stay here all the time.

Stopping at a steamed bun shop, Xu Baichuan took out a copper coin from his arms and said softly: "Two steamed buns." ”

Xiao Er took his copper coin, and casually grabbed two steamed buns, even if they fell to the ground, he didn't pick them up, and finally in Xu Baichuan's hands, there was only one steamed bun, or the smallest one.

Xu Baichuan smiled, he was used to this, since he went to Yizhuang, the people in the town were afraid of him like a snake and scorpion, for fear of being brought bad luck by him, he didn't want to explain anything, even if he said it, he wouldn't listen.

What's more, there is really a thing in Yizhuang.

Xu Baichuan pointed to the steamed buns on the ground and said softly, "Pick it up." ”

Xiao Er was very impatient, but he still did it, the shopkeeper had already seen it, and if he rubbed it again, he would be fined.

Xu Baichuan bit the clean steamed bun and walked slowly on the street, which was strange to say, but wherever he walked, the surrounding three-foot land must be empty, even if it was a beggar, he was reluctant to approach him, for fear of being contaminated.

There was an ignorant little beggar who wanted to come up, but with only some movements, he was pulled by the old beggar on the side, and he was scolded for splitting his head and covering his face.

"I'm afraid you don't want to live, that guy is a well-known evil star, his father and mother are all killed, and he works in the morgue, if you go to beg for money, and drag you into that hellish place in the middle of the night, you will know that it is terrible. ”

The rumors are terrifying, if they are normal, after they spread, they gradually changed their taste, Xu Baichuan's parents did not die, he just didn't see his father since he was a child, and his mother died early, that's all.

However, it is no different from the death of both parents.

In Xu Baichuan's heart, there is no father.

At first, Xu Baichuan wanted to argue and seek justice for himself, but later there were many people who said it, and he couldn't say anything about them, so he could only let it go, and the only thing he could do was to pretend that he hadn't heard it.

He threw the rest of the buns to the little beggar and walked away with a smile.

How can you be so terrible?

When he got home, Xu Baichuan walked straight back to the room, just pushed the door open, and there was a string of copper coins in his eyes, which were placed flat on the table, Xu Baichuan smiled, with this string of copper coins, he could do what he wanted to do.

He dug out the jar buried under the tree, wrapped it in his clothes, found a direction, and walked briskly with his head down.

There was no danger along the way, there were a few scoundrels who wanted to have fun with him, and they were also frightened by the reason he had just come out of Yizhuang, and arrived at the pawn shop safely, Xu Baichuan looked at the counter that was higher than himself, he was very unhappy, took the stool on the side, stepped on it, and was satisfied.

"The Xu family's code should be here, please accept the money of the shopkeeper. ”

Xu Baichuan took out a note, put it on the counter, and waited for the shopkeeper to inspect it.

The shopkeeper nodded, only glanced at it roughly, and knew in his heart that it was the trouble that came, if it was returned to him a few days ago, it would be fine, but now the thing has been taken away by the Li family's son, and he has no ability to make another one, so he pondered and said: "Guest, you are late, it's really unfortunate, that thing closed Li Gongzi's eyes yesterday and was taken away at a high price, you see, why don't we give you a share of the money." ”

Xu Baichuan shook his head, as long as money is enough for him, what he really wants is what is pawned.

The most beloved things of my mother during her lifetime cannot be left in the hands of anyone else under any circumstances.

When I was buried, I had no money, so I pawned it temporarily, but now I have money and I want to redeem it.

"Your grandson has a hundred-year-old name, and he promised that he would not sell it until the deadline, what should I do now, I will publicize this matter, and your store will not be opened. Xu Baichuan said calmly: "Either you get the things back, or Sun Ji will be ruined from now on, and he will choose by himself." ”

The shopkeeper's face was full of bitterness, what Xu Baichuan said was a fatal choice, if Xu Baichuan was allowed to sell pawns when Sun Ji was not pawned, it would ruin Sun Ji's reputation, and those who did pawn shops relied on their reputation to eat, and if there was such a thing, no one would come to him to pawn it in the future, but if he went to Li Gongzi to get it back, it would be a dead end, Li Gongzi's reputation in Yunzhen is well known, if he went to ask for it, he would break a few legs and pick up the essence.

"Ouch, my little ancestor, don't toss me so much, you don't know that Li Gongzi is notorious, that's the mayor's son, do we still have a way to live." The shopkeeper's tears were about to flow, and he said with a bitter face: "Otherwise, how about compensating you with the money I got from Li Gongzi at the price? ”

Xu Baichuan mocked: "Twenty taels? Sun Ji is really good at doing business, when my mother came to pawn, she was willing to give four taels, how to sell it has increased so much." ”

The shopkeeper was speechless, he knew that he was at a loss, and he was willing to give up some money for the sake of Sun Ji's reputation, but Xu Baichuan didn't know how to advance or retreat, so he was very blind.

Sun Ji can do it now, not only because of a good reputation.

What's more, what kind of character are you, Xu Baichuan?

Ke's father and mother, and an orphan, don't think that working in Yizhuang is unlucky, you really think that you have a bit of cheek.

The shopkeeper took out a piece of silver taels from the counter, put it on the table with a snap, and said with a smirk: "The money is here, you, if you are happy, take it, if you are not happy, then there is no way, don't think about going to the official, Sun Ji can be here Naturally, he is not afraid of you reporting to the official." ”

Xu Baichuan was silent for a while, said a good word, and walked out of the pawn shop with silver taels.

Walking to the door, looking at the two thugs who were not kind to him, Xu Baichuan smiled kindly, didn't want to argue, and walked straight away.

Sun Ji obviously doesn't want to be contaminated, but he can't do it, he must get back the things from his mother's life, and he may not be sure about others, but Li Gongzi.

Yet.

Following the sound of tinkling iron, Xu Baichuan walked into a blacksmith shop, and before he could stand firmly, he was so smoked by the oncoming heat that he couldn't stand, frowned, and said loudly: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu......"

Lying on the recliner to watch the apprentice strike iron Liu Yong is very comfortable, when he just took over Liu's shop, two or three big cats and kittens, seeing that the door is about to close, thanks to his talent and intelligence, the iron tools are easy to use, and the price is low.

"In the end, it's still the master I'm smart, if I were as stupid as you guys, I would have closed the door a long time ago, look at what I'm doing, don't use my strength!"

A skinny clever apprentice heard Xu Baichuan's call, and his heart was overjoyed, and he put down his hammer and trotted to Li Yong to report.

He has only been in the blacksmith shop for a short time, his body is fragile and he can't stand the fatigue, so he just changed his way to steal for a while, if it was in the past, Liu Yong would reprimand it, but now that outsiders are coming, business is still important.

After all, family ugliness can't be publicized.

Liu Yong wore a single coat with his belly exposed, and walked in front of Xu Baichuan slowly, slightly pleased: "Why are you kid, you are free to come to a certain house today?"

Xu Baichuan told the matter of the pawnshop, and added another sentence at the end.

"I want to buy a sword from you, and the money is here. ”

As he spoke, he lit up the jar wrapped in his clothes.

Liu Yong touched his chin and sighed: "Your mother is also a stubborn person, if you have difficulties, you can talk to a certain family, some silver is just something, and what is it, but she ...... , alas~"

Xu Baichuan knew Liu Yong's thoughts about his mother, but it was difficult to say anything about it, after all, it was about his mother, and he couldn't be the master.

Liu Yong smiled with a smile on his face, patted Xu Baichuan on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Don't talk about this, since you want a sword, then it's right to find a certain family, follow me into the warehouse, you can choose, ordinary people can only see the outside, and the inside is all good objects that I personally beat." ”

Xu Baichuan nodded, Liu Yong is a well-known good blacksmith in the town, and if he can leave it in the warehouse, if he takes it out and sells it, it will cost several taels of silver.

The storeroom is not too much, but there are a few shelves, and on each shelf there is a weapon, which is inconspicuous.

Xu Baichuan was curious, and stroked the blade of a spear with his hand, and then felt a tingling pain, and blood fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Liu Yong shook his head and laughed: "You are still the first person who dares to touch the tip of the gun, a weapon created by a certain family can be made at will, and they are all blown and broken, fortunately, you have little force, if you have more strength, maybe a finger will be gone." ”

Xu Baichuan came back to his senses, took his injured finger in his mouth, and did not speak.

There were two swords in the storeroom, one was gorgeous and looked good, and the other was very simple, even the hilt was rusty.

Knowing that he couldn't buy a gorgeous sword with money, Xu Baichuan picked up another simple sword from the sword stand.

Slowly pulled out the sword, and what appeared in front of him was a cold light of autumn water, and under its illumination, the treasury was a little brighter.

"What is this sword called?"

Xu Baichuan held the hilt of the sword tightly, and said softly with joy.

Liu Yong responded calmly: "This sword has no name, and it is also in the treasury, and the only one that I didn't fight." ”

"I'm going to have this one!"

"Cheng, exchange all your money for it. ”

"Good!"

Xu Baichuan loves the sword in his hand tightly, and he also knows that its value far exceeds the silver taels he owns, and if he exchanges it, he will not lose anything.

Xu Baichuan held the sword in his hand and walked out of the blacksmith shop penniless, he was really penniless.

Not a single copper was left.

Back home, Xu Baichuan stood in front of a tablet, whispered for a while, took out the newly acquired sword, and said to himself: "Mother, you often say that a gentleman repays his grievances with virtue, but I am not a gentleman, and it is natural for me to avenge you." ”

"This sword has no name, and the son is brave, so he uses his mother's name as the name of the sword, so let's take it as if his mother has always been by his son's side. ”

The hand stroked the quaint scabbard and said softly: "From now on, you will be called Qiu Feng." ”
