Chapter 41: Xiao Qingxuan descends the mountain
"As I dragged him up, I noticed that his eyes were searching for something, and that's when he started to get scared. But I don't see those eyes, are they eyes that only he can see, and we can't?"
"In answer to the third question, those eyes mistakenly thought he had divulged something to me, so he died. ”
Shen Fang's tone made the panic in his heart even better.
But Cangma's heart was snickering, because Shen Fang successfully frightened everyone again. Shen Fang and Qin Shaochong must not be afraid of those eyes, the two of them are just playing tricks. If those eyes were really so powerful, he would have come out and kill everyone a long time ago, but he didn't do it for a long time. He didn't do it because he didn't dare to do it, because he knew that he didn't have the ability to have a head-on conflict with the Heavenly Sword Sect.
But Cangma also knew that these eyes did exist. If those eyes showed a stronger murderous aura, he would be able to discern the exact direction of those eyes. But now, all he can do is wait and see.
Everyone continued to rush according to the previous plan and continued to look for clues, but in terms of attitude towards Cangma, everyone has changed a lot, and they are not as repulsive as a few days ago.
Half of the credit goes to Shen Fang and Qin Shaochong, and the other half goes to Cangma's identity.
Because the future route will pass through towns and villages more frequently, Batianzhai has already exchanged news along the way, so every time Cangma passes through a village and town, he will inevitably get excellent hospitality. The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect naturally followed Cangma and ate and drank along the way, they all knew in their hearts where these good wines and dishes came from, and they were all Cangma's face. Therefore, no one will look at Cangma's face anymore.
And along the way, the eyes behind him seem to have stopped a lot. Due to the failure of the last plan, the Ghost Spirit Ninja Dao temporarily restrained for a while, and did not continue to act under the banner of Decepticon, and they also knew that this trick would not work. But since they have a blood feud with the Heavenly Sword Sect, this group of people will definitely take action again. Cangma is not very worried about this, as long as they don't fight the idea of Batianzhai, Cangma can't wait for them to make the noise as loud as possible. Because he also has a heart to rob while the fire is hot, and some of these three forces are circulating.
Xiao Qingxuan finally caught up with Cangma, because she came down the mountain after Ji Wanying's condition was almost better, so there was naturally a lot of delay in the middle.
She flew all the way, following the direction indicated on the map, while estimating the day in her mind, and at about this time Cangma should be near Panshui Town. Seeing a small town built by the water from a distance, Xiao Qingxuan chose a no-man's land and quietly fell to the ground.
At this time, I happened to meet a peasant couple with their children walking towards them, Xiao Qingxuan hurriedly straightened her clothes and stepped forward and asked, "Big brother and sister-in-law, is Panshui Town ahead?"
"Exactly, exactly. The peasant man put the burden on his shoulders on the ground, waved his hand and gestured: "Walk two miles along this road, and you can look at the archway of Panshui Town." ”
In fact, Xiao Qingxuan had seen this road clearly as early as when she was in the sky, but she still arched her hand and said, "Thank you." ”
"If the eldest brother is afraid that he will not know the way, he will follow us, anyway, my father and I are also going to the town today. The child's eyes sparkled at Xiao Qingxuan, although he looked like he was only five or six years old, he was not afraid of life at all.
"Call uncle. The peasant woman laughed and rebuked, "This child, no matter how big or small, is not called a man." ”
"Out of the way, out of the way. Xiao Qingxuan hurriedly said: "You can call it anything, child." ”
Seeing that Xiao Qingxuan didn't look like a bad person, the peasant woman also said: "If you don't mind, little brother, just follow us, anyway, everyone has to go to Panshui Town." ”
"No need sister-in-law. Xiao Qingxuan said: "If you are busy, go first, I just ask for directions, and I am not in a hurry." She still prefers to walk alone, and always finds it inconvenient to be with others.
"Okay, then we'll go first. Then the woman said, "Father, let's hurry up, for we won't be able to catch the morning market if it's too late." ”
"Hey. The man raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and then picked up his burden and continued on his way.
The child said, "Dad, when I grow up a little more, I will help you carry the burden." ”
"Hey, the dog baby is really sensible, and he knows that he feels sorry for his father. The man smiled and said, "When we get to the market, let's sell these two baskets of dates and give you a proper birthday." ”
"Oh yes!" said the child, jumping up, "Then we'll have to sell it for more money." ”
"Okay, I'll sell the money to buy you a big chicken leg. ”
"Giggles. The child was smiling happily.
Looking at the happy scene of this family of three, Xiao Qingxuan's heart was mixed for a while, she first shook her head, and then couldn't help but sigh.
Things in this world are always so unsatisfactory.
Even selling dates was the same, a family of three set off before dawn and traveled nearly 20 miles to the town. But after a whole morning, not even a single date was sold.
"Sell green dates, sweet and crisp big green dates. "The child was shouting in the street with his throat pulled, his throat was smoking, and no one came up to ask for the price.
"Dog baby, don't shout, this date can't be sold. ”
The child felt aggrieved and anxious, and his eye sockets were shining, "Dad, why didn't anyone come to buy our dates." ”
"Maybe someone else has planted jujube trees in their homes. The child's father sighed, "I'm really useless, even if you two run with me for nothing, but you haven't even earned a copper." ”
"Don't say that, father, the dates can't be sold, so let's eat them ourselves. The woman comforted her softly, "This year's harvest is good, and our family will not be hungry." ”
"I thought that after selling the dates today, I could buy a few chicks to go back, but who would have thought that it would be so difficult to make some money this year. The father touched the dog's head and said, "We have to think of ways to save money for this child to learn a trade in the future, but we can't teach him to grow up and be as incapable as me." ”
As he was talking, suddenly a short, stocky middle-aged man in decent clothes walked over.
"Are you going to buy dates, uncle? ”
The fat man asked, "How much do you have for two baskets of dates?"
As soon as he heard this, the child's father instantly came to his senses: "Always money!"
"It's too expensive. The fat man shook his head.
"And what do you offer?"
The fat man stretched out his palm and said, "I'll give you five coppers at most." ”
This price is too ruthless, a hundred copper is a consistent money, but this man only gave five copper. But he was the only one who asked for the price today, and his father didn't want to miss this opportunity easily.
"If you add some more, I'll sell it. ”
"Five coppers at most. The fat man said: "I'll tell you the truth, my five coppers are not for your dates, I want to buy your two bamboo baskets." ”
"If you add some more money, I'll give you even a basket. The child's father pleaded again and again: "Well, let's exchange the food money for our family of three, my son's birthday is ...... today."
"Who's family doesn't have any difficulties, and whose money doesn't blow in the wind. The fat man pointed to the dates and said: "You can't sell your dates, who doesn't plant a few dates in the rich family, and who will come to buy your dates if you don't have money, who do you say you can sell your dates to?"
"Yes...... You bought a basket, what should I do with my dates?"
"Then I don't care. The fat man said: "I am a fishmonger, now is the fishing season, I see that your basket is strong, if you are willing to sell, I will collect five coppers." If you come back tomorrow, you will only bring a basket with you, two pennies, and I will take as much as you want. If you say yes, that's it. ”
The woman hurriedly pushed him twice behind his back and whispered, "Let's go back and make a few more baskets." ”
"Cheng, Cheng. The child's father got up and said, "Sell it, five coppers, then you will have to talk tomorrow." ”
The fat man said: "Don't worry, tomorrow is still this time, as long as your basket is sturdy, I will take as much as I want." ”
"Good, good, good. I didn't expect my basket-weaving skills to come in handy, so I was naturally very happy, "Since the basket has been sold to you, I can't take this date, so I'll just give it to you." ”
"Since you said so, I will not take advantage of you in vain. The fat man took out seven coppers, "I'll add two more cents to you, a total of seven cents, you have taken it." ”
"Hey!"
After the money was handed over, the fat man told the young man beside him to pick up the burden and walk all the way to the market.
Although it was only sold for seven copper coins, the family was still very happy, after all, there was hope for tomorrow.
But who knows, as soon as the fat man turned around the corner, his face changed to a different look: "Hmph, Lower Riba Man." He patted the young man next to him and said, "Look, you still have to learn from your uncle to do business, let's pick these two baskets to the pastry shop in the back street, and sell him properly for the usual money." ”
"Gao Ming, or uncle, you will do business. The young man smiled and said, "Shall we come tomorrow to collect his basket?"
"He likes to sell to whomever he likes to sell to, I'm just teasing him, otherwise, how can I buy such cheap dates?"
"Good strategy!"
"In the future, there are still things you learn. ”
......
The family of three didn't know they had been fooled, and the couple was calculating how many baskets they could make overnight.
"When we get home, we will weave it until tomorrow morning, at least we can make up a basket, which is twenty-five yuan, and we can exchange it for the same money in four days. ”
"Then we will make a fortune, and when the time comes, we will save money, recognize a master for the dog baby, and let him go to the town to learn the craft, and our dog baby will definitely be able to get ahead in the future." ”
"Dad, mother, I must learn the craft hard!"
"Good boy, the dog baby is smart and filial, and he will definitely be able to make a difference. ”
The dog baby's father grabbed the seven copper coins in his hand, "Although I can't buy big chicken legs for the dog baby to eat today, but we will also go back to the restaurant ruthlessly, spend four cents, and save the rest." ”
The dog baby's mother touched the dog baby's head and said, "Dog baby, you're hungry." ”
"I'm dying of hunger, mother. ”
