The Mystery of Qixia Chapter 15 Bartering
"Are you selling knives?" said the old beggar, scanning them as if at random.
Luo Gan quickly snatched the kitchen knife and presented it to him, "Don't hide what our predecessors said, we are looking for a destined person for this knife." ”
The old beggar raised his hand to take it, but Luo Gan shrank his hand, and the kitchen knife kept a distance from him. The two smiled silently and looked at each other.
"Only those who know this thing are destined for this knife!" Luo Gan sighed, "Look at this fine workmanship, it is said that a master spent several years carefully polishing it." He has only done this one in his life!"
The cowhide can really blow! Ning Zhi's eyelids jumped, and he looked at the old beggar worriedly. Surprised, the senior who had saved him still looked calm, and did not show the slightest intention of killing Luo Gan.
The old beggar even took out a large, bulging sack from his pocket, and looked them straight in the eyes.
"Hehe, I can be its destined person, no matter what you offer. The old beggar rubbed his sack and said, "But do you know why I'm wearing such tattered clothes?"
"Because of you, hidden?"
"Because I'm ...... There are only spirit stones!" The old beggar shook the cloth bag, and a few green round stones rolled onto the road, "I can't use this outside! I want to make a new dress, and I've been thinking about it for many years, but the people in Jiangdu don't know how to make clothes! I ran to those sectarian trading places outside, and they wouldn't let me in! Because I was wearing tattered clothes, only Jiang Du was willing to let me in. I was driven to Jiangdu by them, and I had to come out because I didn't have a house in Jiangdu. Wandering, wandering, I really can't bear to go to Jiangdu to eat, light incense, drink, anything...... But this, but this just can't make clothes!
When the words reached the heartache, the old beggar burst into tears.
"And the embroidery girl outside doesn't accept spirit stones, mortals don't accept this thing! Good private exchange is also forbidden by the Lihe Gang, no cultivator dares to exchange spirit stones with me, I can't get money." You guys...... Take it if you need it. ”
The old beggar's words stunned them for a moment, and Ning Zhi pushed Luo Qian, and the deal was completed. In other words, Luo Gan still didn't get food, but got a big bag of spirit stones.
He remembered the appearance of squandering the spirit stone when he first saw the old beggar in the Jiangdu Inn, but he also sighed.
It turns out that a wealthy practitioner can also be a non-possessor in the mortal world.
The old beggar took out a coarse cloth from the accompanying package and wrapped the kitchen knife in layers, as if it were a treasure. When he was about to leave, Ning Zhi suddenly remembered something and chased after him and called out to him.
The other party did not feel displeased, but asked about Ning Zhi.
Ning Zhi was embarrassed and said, "Senior, you see...... What is the origin of that girl, and her injuries are healed, do you want to take her with you all the time?"
The old beggar blinked, glanced at the snotty silly girl, and said in surprise, "Isn't this her going to follow you?"
"Well, uh, senior, we have something important to do. Ning Zhi looked embarrassed.
"But I've got to go sell knives. "The old beggar's stomach made a long "grunt," and "though I don't know where she came from, I can tell you that she fears the very man who made her like that." ”
Looking at the old beggar's cunning fox eyes, Ning Zhi and Luo Gan glanced at each other, not knowing why.
The old beggar turned and walked away in a brisk manner. The bamboo cane clicked on the ground to point out a pleasant rhythm, and Luo Gan's heart seemed to be suddenly empty.
hesitated, and slowly spoke: "How can I feel like I'm being calculated?"
Ning Zhi inspected a bag of spirit stones, all of which were pure green spirit stones, and estimated that the weight was about the same as the jar on his back, and the number must be more than a hundred.
"When he went to sell knives, didn't he indirectly exchange spirit stones for copper plates?"
As soon as Luo Gan's words came out, the two of them were suddenly enlightened: How did Lingshi buy food here?
The Yuan Kendo, which was closest to Qixia, did not set up a cultivator's trading shop in Qixia, but set up three in each of Jiangning and Shangyuan. The reason is that Qixia is next to Shangyuan, and the shops that share Shangyuan nearby are similar.
As a result, the nearby sharing over the past few years has made the activities of the cultivators on Qixia's side less and less frequent, and everyone rushed to the next door.
Gradually, it has declined to the point that only one medical family remains, and most of the money in recent years is only mortal property, but spirit stones are becoming more and more scarce. However, the Lin family is also happy, and it is rumored that they spontaneously stayed away from the cultivation world, and only occasionally appeared to help the world.
But now, they are carrying this bag of spirit stones, even if they go to the various pharmacies of the Lin family, they can only buy medicine. If you want anything else, you will be treated as a street child.
The only use of these spirit stones was to assist in practice, but they couldn't even solve the basic problem of eating.
For a while, Luo Qian also began to worry about too many spirit stones, and finally realized the helplessness of the old beggar with a large bag of spirit stones.
Sanli Village still has to go.
On the way out of the city again, Luo Gan silently recited the scriptures taught by his mother to ward off hunger.
They had walked for nearly a day, and before dark they came again to the ruined temple on the hill they had been before.
Only embers remained of the fire that Ning Zhi burned, and he groped his way into the house, the place was dilapidated, but it was also a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
After a day of hunger, Ning Zhi was about to meditate to reduce his consumption, when he heard Luo Gan start shouting again. The silly girl ran over and clapped her hands and shouted "Yuyuyu".
Hungry and tired, he leaned against the earthen wall and fell asleep. In a trance, he fell asleep, and walked through the sea of sunlit flowers to a wooden house, from which curling smoke rose.
As if he had known it for a long time, he was not surprised when he walked into the house and saw Lin Zhinian smiling and serving him a plate of delicacies. Ning Zhinian took Lin Zhinian's hand as a matter of course, hugged and kissed.
After he buried his head in her neck, the refreshing body fragrance slowly poked into his throat. He tasted the unique fragrance of this woman, tasted the sweetness of morning thoughts, tasted the bitterness of parting lovesickness, tasted the softness of the beautiful woman on the side, and tasted a fishy fragrance...... Taste?
The sweet dream woke up suddenly, and Ning Zhi quickly wiped the saliva from his mouth.
The thing he hates most is fish!
But I saw people around the fire grilling fish in front of me?
The silly girl was shouting "jade" incoherently, and Luo Gan was flipping the big fish he had baked.
Noticing that Ning Zhi had also woken up, Luo Gan generously offered to help him roast it, but Ning Zhi refused.
"Then we'll eat it ourselves, and there are four in the bucket, two for each person. Smelling the tempting aroma of fish, Luo Gan whistled happily, "I don't know which stupid fork threw the fish here, haha, the master will enjoy it first as a respect!" The tip of his nose suddenly smelled a strange smell that was discordant but not unfamiliar, and Luo Gan turned his head in embarrassment.
Ning Zhi happened to walk behind him, and he was going outside.
Luo Gan watched him walk out meaningfully.
Go ahead and grill the fish to eat.
He ate a lot of food, but he didn't drink much. For Luo Gan, it was a pity.
This did not affect him from having a sweet dream, and when he unfolded the quilt and was about to sleep, he happened to see the silly girl pitifully cowering in the corner of the wall and feeling the fishbones.
"Hey!" Luo Gan didn't know what to call her, she had been quietly by their side, except for eating, "Go to sleep, you cover this." After a pause, he added, "It's a little dirty though." "It's all thanks to yesterday's old rascals.
The silly girl had big innocent eyes and didn't seem to understand what he was saying.
Luo Gan had to cover her with the quilt himself, and the silly girl obediently lay down in the quilt.
When Ning Zhi came back, he saw the silly girl sleeping soundly in the quilt, and wanted to attack Luo Gan, but she couldn't pull her face. He couldn't go and rob a girl.
It was cold at night, the clothes were thin, and the broken windows couldn't stop the wind in the mountains. Of course, when the two people woke up the next day, they were close to each other, and it was certainly not their own will.
Ning Zhi disliked Luo Gan, and Luo Gan also disliked him very much.
Embark on the trip, this to Sanli Village, is not far, but the mountain road is rugged, and you have to walk for several days to arrive.
But there is no such thing as no in the men's world, not to mention that the silly girls are tired and don't complain to them silently.
In fact, the silly girl is far more energetic than them, and she can be excited for a while when she sees birds and butterflies. If it weren't for the two men who desperately dragged her, the silly girl would have climbed up the tree to live with the birds.
