When the child walked away, Li Yan asked in a low voice, "What's strange here?"

Miyuki shook her head: "It's strange, I don't even have a little demonic energy......"

At this time, I only heard the sound of crutches behind the corridor, and an old man appeared in front of them. But I saw that his beard was white, his long eyebrows were lowered, and his face was red and glowing, like a young man.

The old man said, "The two guests have been waiting for a long time!"

Meixue Shili said: "Old man, we are foreign merchants and have strayed into the treasure land. Just because I saw that we have a picturesque scenery here, and I think it is because of the abundant water and grass, and the unique nature, so on a whim, I want to ask if there are any mountain goods or something?"

The old man's eyes lit up: "Miss, don't you want to sell some special products back?"

Miyuki nodded, "Well, that's exactly the case. But I don't know what's there?"

The old man immediately came to his senses and said, "Two guests, this village has excellent peppercorns and dried fruits. Well...... If it is also used as medicinal materials, there are also astragalus, codonopsis and other things. ”

Miyuki said: "We are miscellaneous businessmen, as long as we make money, we will do anything." Not...... May I ask your father-in-law's surname?"

"Don't be surnamed Hou, the little old man is the one in the village. Haha, this eldest lady speaks cheerfully, it seems that she is doing big business, why don't you do it like this, if you two are interested, how about walking around the village with me? ”

Meixue said: "That's the best, there is Lao Hou's husband." ”

Li Yan secretly picked up his big finger in his heart, thinking: It's really worthy of Miyuki, there are many ways. Being able to visit the village without attracting suspicion is really a shame for his resourcefulness.

Miyuki suddenly glanced at him, as if she knew his intentions, and pursed her lips and smiled secretly.

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously looked stupid.

At this time, I only heard Hou Lao say: "Two of you, please look, there is a pepper forest in front." The two of them looked up and saw a low shrub, which was spring ploughing at this time, and many people were busy.

Miyuki looked at it carefully for a while and asked, "Uncle, you guys here are very young." ”

Hou Lao was stunned: "How do you say this?" Mei Xue said: "Look at these farmers, which one is not strong and agile?

This sycophant made Hou Lao dizzy, and he laughed and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Xiao Lao'er is eighty years old this year. ”

Both of them were shocked when they heard this. As the saying goes, people are rare after 70 years, and it is surprising that this old man is nearly 90 years old but not the slightest bit old.

Miyuki took advantage of the situation and asked, "Does my husband have any secret to longevity......?" It can't be because we eat this pepper, right? If so, we'll have to buy the tree. ”

Hou Lao waved his hand and said: "That's not the way, the local people live a long life, it's for another reason...... said

At this point, he suddenly realized something, and immediately changed the topic: "Come on, I'll take you two to see something else." ”

Meixue pretended to agree and went with Hou Lao. I asked a few more times on the way, but the old man learned to be obedient and kept silent about the matter.

By the time it was dark, the three of them had already circled the village. Hou Lao asked, "What do you two think?" Can this deal be decided?"

Miyuki smiled slightly: "Although the quality of these mountain goods is not bad, they are not the best quality." ”

Hou Lao's eyes rolled, and he seemed to be ready to bargain. But unexpectedly, Miyuki said: "How many are counted, we want them all." ”

Hou Lao was stunned and said, "I heard it right, right?"

Meixue said: "It's not a secret, we are selling Cordyceps in Qinghai, and these Xu Shan goods are not a problem." It's just that the little girl has another request, you have to arrange for someone to pack the car and transport the things out. As you see, we have only two horses and no pack horses. You need to worry about this. ”

Hou Lao rubbed his hands, and said for a moment: "It's easy to say about this matter, but this price is ......."

Miyuki laughed, took out the ingot of gold and stuffed it into the old man's hand.

The gold ingot weighed five taels of feet, and Hou Lao stared at it, as if he had suddenly become ten years younger, and immediately said in a loud voice: "Okay, everything is easy to say!

Miyuki said: "This is a fixed price, and half of the freight will be paid when the freight is out." My husband has to let the figure be carefully installed, and there must be no damage, otherwise I won't pay the rest of the money!"

The old man thought to himself that there are still such unjust people in the world? Five taels of gold is already far from the supermarket price, and if you give another five taels, you will make money!

But who would be disgusted with too much money? He hurriedly agreed, patted his chest and said: "Miss, even if Lao Hou's head is broken, there will be no damage to this goods." Please!" and then beckoned the villagers to slaughter chickens and sheep to entertain the two.

After he was full of wine and food, he took the two to a house and said, "There is no vacancy in our village, can the two of you make do with Zheng Jiaquan here for a few days?"

Meixue smiled faintly: "Let's go in the wind and rain of business, nothing is particular." As long as there is a bed, it is good. Thank you, sir!"

Hou Lao said a few polite words, and took the two of them to see the room.

Li Yan looked around, and saw that the male and female owners of this household had ruddy faces, obviously a solid family. Of course, they were all smiling at each other.

But what is puzzling is that their child, a boy named Zheng Dabao, who is about ten years old, is born unusually thin and weak, and stares at them from time to time with a gloomy gaze.

Everyone in the village is able-bodied, and the children are no exception, but he is the only one. Although I feel strange, I have no time to investigate at the moment, so I can only wait until tomorrow.

But after only looking at one room, Hou Lao said: "In this case, the little old man has taken his leave, please rest well." ”

Miyuki's face immediately turned red, and she said, "Uncle, we are brother and sister, how do you arrange for the next room to leave?"

Hou Lao was shocked: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm really dizzy, I deserve to die......! I'll make another arrangement. ”

Having said that, he secretly wondered in his heart: These two people are not embarrassed or embarrassed, they don't look like brothers and sisters, could it be that they eloped? But fortunately, the money is in place, so they are too lazy to care. He and the Zheng couple worked hard for a long time, and finally vacated another room for the two of them to live in.

In the evening, Li Yan sat at the table, pouring himself cup after cup. Not only did he not remove his shoes and socks, but he even carried a single knife around his waist.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and when Li Man opened the door, he saw that it was Miyuki, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Miyuki said deliberately: "Brother, I still have some things to discuss with you." ”

Li Yan nodded, and let her into the house. I only heard her say: "I just calculated, our astragalus seems to be expensive, how to find a way to bring down the price tomorrow ......"

As she spoke, she put her finger in the wine glass, dipped the wine in the wine and wrote on the table: "The partition wall has ears. Then he wiped it off with his hand.

Li Yan nodded. He wasn't surprised, as he could already hear eight men lying in ambush around the room with weapons. Whether it is for money and murder or some other intention, it is certain that these eight people are definitely not good people.

If it was Li Yan himself, he wouldn't care at all. Not to mention eight people, even eighty people are similar to papier-mâché in front of his knife. But today is different, he can't let Miyuki make the slightest mistake.

So he also dipped in wine and wrote, "With me, it's okay." ”

Miyuki's face flushed slightly, and her mouth was still pretending to talk about business, but she continued to write on the table: "There are really strange things in this village. I don't think they're just hiding monsters, they're big monsters. ”

Thanks to Miyuki, she can use two minds, saying that writing is completely different content without lag.

But Li Yan didn't have such a big ability, so he could only deal with it "mmmm". But fortunately, during the day, he gave people the impression of being taciturn, and at this time, he did not speak, and others would not be suspicious.

Miyuki continued, "Although the climate here is a little warmer, it is within the normal range, and the diet is not special, and the villagers alone will never be so strong. ”

Li Yanyi frowned and wrote, "What do you say is the problem?"

"The spring water in the back mountain. ”

"Spring?"

"Hmm. I talked with the old man surnamed Hou for a long time, trying to trick his words. He said a few words to me at first, but then he didn't follow me at all. But I found that every time I glanced back at the mountain, he struck a stir. I asked Mr. and Mrs. Zheng again, and they only said that there was a spring there, and nothing else. So I'm going to check it out tomorrow. ”

Li Yan pondered for a moment and wrote: "Don't go, it's dangerous. Let me go. ”

He paused and wrote, "I'm stupid and can't frighten them." Her Royal Highness the princess has to go out in person. ”

Miyuki smiled: "That's decided." ”

Li Yan was about to get up, but found that Miyuki's fingers were trembling slightly. He suddenly understood that although Miyuki seemed to be sure of victory every time, she was just a girl.

She can also be scared and feel helpless, just like everyone else.

She is Princess Keihito of Akishinomiya, but she is also Miyuki Sakura.

So Li Yan wrote: "You go to sleep, nothing will happen." ”

Miyuki smiled again, pretended to yawn, and said, "You must remember today's events clearly." It wasn't early, so I went back to rest. ”

Li Yan hummed and sent her back to her room. Then he counted with his ears sideways: one, two, three...... Suddenly, he was suddenly shocked, there were only eight people just now, but now it has become nine.

But the ninth person didn't seem to have malicious intent, because Li Yan couldn't feel his murderous aura. But what does he want to do?

Li Yan decided to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and immediately followed the breath, walked to the turn of the corridor, and said to himself: "Where is the thatched house?" Alas, I can't remember clearly!" Before the words fell, he suddenly lifted a bamboo basket next to him.

The bamboo basket snapped to the side, but inside was a child—it was Zheng Dabao with gloomy eyes.

Li Yan asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"

He thought that Zheng Dabao would panic, but unexpectedly, the child looked around, grabbed his hand and said, "Listen, don't believe half a word they say!"
