Pinghai Chaos Chapter 18 A tael of silver

"Miss, don't run so fast!"

The two beauties in Pinghai Town chased one after the other, and the woman in front of her came to the intersection of the alley, holding a small flower basket in her hand, watching the people coming and going along the way, she couldn't help but stop, and her eyes were a little confused.

"Miss, sir said, the town will not be peaceful these days, so try to stay at home and don't go out. The woman in red behind her caught up and said.

"Red sleeves, why are you like my father, babbling all day long. Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the woman in red behind her and said, "It will be my eighteenth birthday in two days, and it is said that the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and I don't want to stay in this broken town at the age of eighteen." ”

She said, looked down at the basket full of small flowers in her hand, "Dad said, when can I sell this basket of mountain fruits, when can I go out to play." Hey, Red Sleeves, what do you think Dongting Lake looks like? How long is the Henghe River?"

"Miss, aren't you embarrassed for me?" the woman named Red Sleeves shook her head, "I'm not like I've never been out of town, how can I know." However, I heard that Mr. Storyteller said that Dongting Lake is the largest lake in our Jiangling territory, and legend has it that there are gods on it. ”

"Brag. Su Xiaoxiao poked the little face of the red sleeve with her finger, "How can there be any gods in this world? ”

"But if there were no immortals, how could there be so many outsiders in Pinghai Town all of a sudden, didn't they just come to the beach to find an immortal apprentice?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked up at the rainbow glow in the sky, she had been in Pinghai Town for more than ten years, and it was the first time she had seen such a spectacle.

She came back to her senses and said with a hint of anticipation: "It is precisely because of the strangers that I want to seize the opportunity! You say, apart from the outsiders, who will buy this kind of mountain fruit that is everywhere? Speaking of which, the red sleeves, the autumn chrysanthemums on the mountain are about to open, let's go up the mountain to pick some in a few days." ”

After she finished speaking, she looked down at the heavy basket, and couldn't help but become sad again.

"You can buy a mountain fruit for one or two pieces of silver, isn't this deliberately making things difficult?" Su Xiaoxiao muttered in a low voice.

However, Su Xiaoxiao didn't dare to say this in front of her father, otherwise, the punishment for copying the book would make her write until her hands were sore.

Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, walked out of the street with the basket, and began to sell the mountain fruits in the basket to those strangers passing by, and asked seven people in a row, only to hear one or two pieces of silver, no matter what gorgeous words were used to describe it, they all patted their butts and left.

"Miss, don't waste your efforts, let's think about how you should spend this birthday. Red Sleeves stood aside and held an umbrella for Su Xiaoxiao.

"It's hot to death, it's not for sale, let's eat cold powder with red sleeves." ”

On the other side of the street, on the second floor of a famous teahouse in a small town, an old man and a young man sat looking at each other. The old man was about sixty years old, and the young man was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Young master, although your status is expensive, but looking at the road, there are not many people who are more expensive than you. The old master asked the old man to take you out this time, that is, he wanted you to see what it means that there are mountains outside the mountains. The old man said earnestly.

The young man raised his head and drank a cup of tea, and said indifferently: "I don't think these cultivators are anything special, if you want to talk about a small town, it is not as magnificent as a street in our city, Guo Lao, you can afford to look up to this place too much, right?"

The old man shook his head, "Young master, I have lived for most of my life, I don't know how many people of all kinds I have seen, don't look at some people who are dressed dirty, begging on the street with broken bowls, they look down on him, maybe people can take your life as long as they move their fingers." Take the girl in Tsing Yi just now, what do you think of her?"

"Is that the girl who competed with Shen Pingqiu for the hairpin?" the young man asked himself, "In addition to her appearance, I don't think it's good, since Shen Pingqiu dares to take out thirty taels, she simply shouts for forty taels, even if the hairpin still changes hands in the end, at least it is not lost to others in terms of momentum." Besides, just shouting the price, maybe it will raise the price by another twenty taels, no matter how you say it, it's not a loss. ”

The young man said proudly, these tricks are all things that their boys and buddies are already tired of. But the girl doesn't even know this, either she really doesn't understand, or she just can't come up with more money.

"Again, you can't just look at the surface of the work. The old man said softly, "Young master, just imagine, what would you do if someone inserted something you liked, but you couldn't compete with him?"

"If you can't fight, then I can't make him feel better. The boy replied.

"But what if this favorite thing is just a steamed bun, and it's a beggar who robs you?" the old man asked.

When the boy heard this, he was dumbfounded. Recalling the free and easy look of the woman wandering away, he realized that he was wrong, very wrong.

"Young master, it's not too early, let's go too. The old man said, "Although this time I came to take you to see the world, if you can find a fairy fate, take a few more steps on the road to becoming an immortal, the more the better." ”

......

"Yo, little fairy, why don't you come to eat jelly again?

"That's it. Su Xiaoxiao walked into the small store with the diameter of the basket.

The red sleeve behind her pulled out a stack of copper coins and landed it in the money jar on the counter.

Su Xiaoxiao found a clean place to sit down, and after a while, two bowls of black and white jelly were served.

Su Xiaxia picked up the spoon, bit a full spoonful, stuffed it into her mouth, and ate it contentedly.

"Miss, what are we doing in the afternoon? It's rare that you don't have to read and write today, so we have to have some fun." Red Sleeves said while eating cold powder.

"It's so hot, let's stay home. Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, she thought about it for a while, and said softly, "Why don't we go to Brother Lingjiang's house?" ”

"Go to his house?" mentioning Ling Jiang, Red Sleeves couldn't help but show an ugly face, "What's so fun in a nerd's house." ”

"Didn't he sell all the books?" Su Xiaoxiao said, "Maybe he changed his mind and wanted to be a good man?"

"If he can be a good man, he will probably have to wait until all the men in the world are dead. Red Sleeves said coldly, as soon as her words fell, she subconsciously turned her head to look, only to see that beside them, there was a girl in Tsing Yi sitting, sitting there alone with her head down and eating cold powder.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Xiaoxiao asked as she looked at Red Sleeves' nervous expression.

"Miss, I always felt that someone was staring at us fiercely just now. Red Sleeves lowered his voice and said, "I thought it was a boy who didn't want his eyes, but when I turned my head, I realized that it was a woman." ”

"Is it the woman next to us?" Su Xiaoxiao said suspiciously, "You can't be mistaken, right?"

"How is it possible, Miss, I really have to be mistaken, haven't my red sleeves practiced in vain in the past few years?" said red sleeves confidently.

She was originally Su Xiaoxiao's maid, in order to protect Miss Quanquan, she went to learn from the master of the town's family, and now she is completely easy to deal with ordinary little thieves.

"She's also a foreigner, so shouldn't she also come to worship the gods?" asked Su Xiaoxiao curiously.

"Who knows. The red sleeves were holding the cold powder on his head, and he didn't bother to pay attention to these.

Su Xiaoxiao had a thought in her heart, suddenly stood up, and walked towards the girl in chivalrous clothes.

The girl in Tsing Yi scooped up the last piece of cold powder in the bowl, and was about to eat it in her mouth, when she noticed Su Xiaoxiao leaning over, and couldn't help but look up.

"This sister. Su Xiaoxiao carried the basket and said with a smile, "This sister, you also came to us to find immortals?"

The girl in Tsing Yi didn't answer, and ate the cold powder in the spoon.

"Sister, I'll tell you a secret secret. Su Xiaoxiao said, "I know that there is a place that is very unusual, and I may not be able to meet immortals there." Sister, do you want to hear it?"

"What do you want me to do?" asked the girl in Tsing Yi, covering her veil, and whispered.

"Sister, I have a mountain fruit here, which is delicious, but it is a bit expensive, and I need to buy one for one or two silver. Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "As long as sister, you buy a mountain fruit, I will tell you where that place is." ”

"Isn't it true that as long as anyone buys your mountain fruit, you will say that?" asked the girl in Tsing Yi.
