Chapter 4 Pearl Powder

After this move, Lu Mingfei faintly regretted it, but he was not an indecisive person, since he did it, he did it.

Soon came to the side room, and when she saw Yao Xing'er, she couldn't help but pull her away.

Yao Xing'er's little face was flushed, she wanted to ask the reason but didn't dare to say anything, just stared at a pair of round eyes and followed Lu Mingfei's footsteps.

Lu Mingfei knew in his heart that it would be fine if he just took the clothes away and teased them.

Unexpectedly, there are valuables among the clothes, and being caught by someone is indispensable to a lawsuit, Lu Mingfei doesn't want to squat in prison at a young age, and Yao Xing'er will be involved.

The journey was also smooth, and the two of them ran out of the back door after a short time.

Qu Xiaotian saw Lu Mingfei coming out, his face was excited, and he hurriedly greeted him, and was about to ask when he heard Lu Mingfei say in a hurry: "I'm afraid that Feng'an City won't be able to stay for the time being, let's go out of the city first to avoid the limelight!"

After speaking, without waiting for Qu Xiaotian, who was full of doubts, to react, he ran towards the distance, picking some dark and remote roads along the way.

While running, Lu Mingfei also explained the general reason, whether it was Qu Xiaotian or Yao Xing'er, they were both honest people by nature, and they couldn't help but be shocked and flustered when they heard the words.

The three of them ran out of Feng'an City in one go, already panting and exhausted, especially Yao Xing'er, whose temples were wet with sweat, her chest was constantly rising and falling, and her feet were so heavy that she couldn't move half a step.

Lu Mingfei was going to continue running towards the official road, but was stopped by Yao Xing'er.

"Even if you have to leave, you should go home and pack some soft clothes, and there are two new robes I sewn for you in the cupboard, and you can wear them after collecting the threads, it would be a pity to leave them behind. ”

Lu Mingfei didn't plan to go home, but after all, it was Yao Xing'er's hard work and it was not easy to give up, so after hesitating for a while, he ran towards the suburban alley where the three of them lived.

Feng'an City is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the place where the three people live passes through a mountain road, and the night is dim, and it is difficult to walk.

Qu Xiao was born with a bit of brute strength, so he simply carried Yao Xing'er on his back and walked all the way home.

The adobe house where Lu Mingfei lives has no lock on the door and does not need to be locked.

It has long been a house with four walls, except for a tattered wooden bed, an old table and chairs, and a large water tank, there is nothing of value.

Entering the room, Yao Xing'er was still panting heavily.

Lu Mingfei took the opportunity to pull Qu Xiaotian outside the door, touched the money bag embroidered with exquisite ornaments for a while, and took out the two gold ingots and some scattered silver.

Then he handed the scattered silver into Qu Xiaotian's hands and said: "One world, two brothers, I should have shared each of these golds, but I plan to use these to redeem Sister Xing'er when the limelight is over. Although it was sold to the Qinglou, the bustard lady treated her well, and it was too unrighteous for us to leave like this. ”

Qu Xiaotian checked the silver in his hand, grinned, and then returned it to Lu Mingfei's hand and said, "You can keep the silver first, and then talk about it after I redeem Sister Xing'er, maybe I will drink your wedding wine at that time." ”

The two have been friends for many years, and there is no need to be polite, Lu Mingfei took the silver back, and was about to put it in the money bag, but felt that there was something else in the money bag.

After touching it for a while, he grabbed a small piece of serpentine jade pendant, which was warm and crystal clear. Then, out of it, a ball rolled out, faintly shimmering with a faint sheen.

"This jade pendant looks pretty good, and maybe it's worth some silver. ”

Lu Mingfei's background naturally does not distinguish between the advantages and disadvantages of jade, but even if the jade pendant falls into the hands of a layman, he can feel that it is exquisite and extraordinary.

The general muttered to himself, and took the bead in his hand and looked at it again.

"I've seen this thing, it's the pearl worn by those women in Feng'an City, but it's not as big as this one. ”

Qu Xiaotian glanced at the bead and explained.

Lu Mingfei played with the "pearl" in his hand for a while and said: "Look at that person, it should be the noble son of the Gaomen family, and the size of this pearl also matches his identity, but unfortunately, this time it is cheaper for our brother." ”

glanced at Qu Xiaotian again and said, "Don't go with us, after all, there are still people to take care of at home." ”

Qu Xiaotian was hesitant, and he didn't know how to make a trade-off for a while, he originally planned to advance and retreat with Lu Mingfei, but the old lady at home was really a little relieved.

Lu Mingfei was still resolute and said categorically: "That's it, we won't leave for too long, and we'll come back after avoiding the limelight." ”

Yao Xing'er saw Lu Mingfei and Qu Xiaotian coming back after speaking, so she got up and walked towards her house, packed her package and prepared to leave.

It's just that she is a woman after all, and she has not gone through the wind and waves, so it is inevitable that she will be a little uncertain and uneasy at this time.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a little guilty and worried in his eyes.

I remembered that I had heard the old gentleman say that pearl powder has the effect of brightening the eyes and removing dizziness and calming the mind, which is a good nourishing product.

Although he was a little reluctant, he thought that it would not be bad to let Yao Xing'er take it.

Simply put his heart horizontally, took an inkstone from the corner of the wall that he used to learn words, and patted it towards the "pearl".

The beads seem to be round, but I didn't expect them to turn into a pile of powder directly after a beat.

The Hidden Yuan Bead was originally a treasure, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, and it was handed down to the brocade-robed boy and finally turned into a pile of residues.

If the other party saw Lu Mingfei's actions, he didn't know how he would feel.

Lu Mingfei took another rolling pin, grinded the residue finely, and then put it into a porcelain bowl and poured in water and stirred evenly.

It happened that Yao Xing'er took the package from home, and saw Lu Mingfei coming to her with a porcelain bowl.

"Sister Xing'er, you drank this bowl of water. ”

Yao Xing'er smiled faintly, knowing that Lu Mingfei was worried that she would run dry at the beginning of the road, so she prepared clear water and hurriedly took the porcelain bowl.

As soon as he put it to his mouth, he couldn't help frowning.

After sniffing lightly for a while, Yao Xing'er looked up at Lu Mingfei and asked puzzledly, "Why does this water smell weird?"

Lu Mingfei took the bowl and smelled it, it did have an indescribable smell of meat.

How did an ordinary market boy know what the taste of pearl powder should be, thought about it and handed the porcelain bowl back to Yao Xing'er and said: "The taste is a little strange, but it's all good things, I added pearl powder to it." ”

Yao Xing'er snorted softly and looked at the bowl of water in surprise.

In this regard, she has more knowledge than Lu Mingfei, and she has indeed seen many girls in Qinglou for a long time, and they usually drink pearl powder to have the effect of rejuvenating their faces.

Although she hadn't tasted it, she knew that it was a luxury that was very expensive.

Although she was surprised in her heart, Yao Xing'er was willing to drink it in one gulp.

After hesitating for a while, he said to Lu Mingfei: "This taste is too bad, I can't drink it, so you should drink it." ”

Lu Mingfei knew that the other party was mostly reluctant, so he pushed for a while, but Yao Xing'er was always reluctant to drink it and insisted on leaving it to Lu Mingfei.

When the two were pushing, Qu Xiaotian suddenly broke into the door, and said in a little panic: "Oh no, go and take a look, there is a torch at the foot of the mountain coming towards this side, I'm afraid that the person is chasing after me." ”

Lu Mingfei couldn't help frowning, he expected that the other party would inquire about Yao Xing'er's residence and chase him all the way, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

The three of them couldn't help but panic.

Lu Mingfei suddenly looked at his broken wooden bed, stepped forward and lifted the bed board, and said to Yao Xing'er: "Sister Xing'er, you hide here, no matter what happens, don't make a sound, I'll go and lure people away." ”

Yao Xing'er's face was full of nervousness, and she didn't know what to do.

"I ...... I...... So what are you going to do?"

Lu Mingfei hurriedly said: "You don't care about me, the mountain road near here is rugged, I just lead him to the difficult road, the other party will definitely not be able to catch up with me." Don't hesitate, if it's any slower, none of us will be able to run!"

Gritting her teeth and stomping her feet, Yao Xing'er reluctantly got under the bed, Lu Mingfei hurriedly restored the wooden bed, and then ran outside with Qu Xiaotian.

Before going out, he looked at the bowl of water on the table, which would no longer be bothered to push and throw, and it would be a waste to throw it away, Lu Mingfei simply poured it into his stomach in one go.
