Chapter 126: Scattering (1)
The autumn sun is dazzling, sprinkling bright light all over the world.
Shimen Town, under the green mountains, is as lively as usual in the market, with people coming and going, cars and horses, and the shouts of hawkers and pawns one after another.
In the crowd, I saw Feng Shuzhu in front, Chu Qing and Xiao Jiu followed closely behind, and the three of them were smiling and strolling.
The smile on Chu Qing's face was particularly bright, as if he had never seen a mountain man in a prosperous city, and a pair of eyes seemed to be insufficient, looking left and right.
Feng Shuzhu saw it in his eyes and said with a smile: "Qing'er likes shopping so much, this is really Brother Feng's negligence, and it is really boring to hold it on the mountain." ”
Chu Qing grinned and replied, "I haven't been to this Shimen Town for a long time, and I only felt its prosperity today. ”
Feng Shuzhu also nodded, and said, "Shimen Town, it is really a blessed land, when the Demon Sect poisoned the Three Realms, it was not affected in the slightest. ”
Chu Qing said with a smile: "So Brother Feng chose Jade Shoot Peak to live, and he is really very discerning." ”
Feng Shuzhu smiled bitterly and said: "Your big brother Feng is not so powerful, the reason why he chose this place is actually because he found that there was no big sect within a radius of hundreds of miles, so he simply chose Jade Shoot Peak." ”
Chu Qing thought for a moment, turned his brain, and said with a smile: "That proves that Brother Feng is also very powerful, after you came, there were no other sects coming." ”
While the two were talking, unconsciously, they walked to a candy man stall, Chu Qing's eyes lit up, and he stopped.
Feng Shuzhu smiled sideways: "What, Qing'er wants a sugar man?"
Chu Qing's eyes stared at the vivid sugar people, nodded his head, and said, "I'm thinking about buying a candy man for the bag to go back." As he spoke, he sighed again, and complained: "This bag has been haunted since I came back from Guiyunguan." I wanted to take it down the mountain to play, but I couldn't find it anywhere, and I didn't know where it went. After thinking for a while, he said, "But that's fine, or I'll have to take care of it." ”
Feng Shuzhu and Xiao Jiu saw Chu Qing nagging like this, and they stood up and laughed without saying a word.
The candy seller smiled and said, "The girl wants to buy the candy man, to tell you the truth, my sugar man is the best in Jiangdi Street, and I must be very happy to bring it back to the children in the family." ”
Hearing this, Chu Qing smiled "poof", it turned out that this peddler regarded the bag as a child. After looking left and right for a long time, I finally picked up a sugar man of "Chang'e Running to the Moon", the sugar man is not only made of high-quality materials, like brown amber, but also the eyebrows of the characters are pinched very delicately and meticulously, and the body is even more clothed, as if flying away in the wind.
Chu Qing couldn't help but whisper in her mouth: "Such a beautiful fairy, you must like it." ”
The peddler praised the girl, you have such a vision, and took the candy man and wrapped it in paper.
Xiao Jiu didn't ask much, took out a few copper coins from his cuffs and handed them over.
The peddler took the copper coin with both hands, held it in the palm of his hand, turned it upside down, looked at it and looked at it, smiled all over his face, and thanked him again and again.
Chu Qing took the sugar man into his hand, and didn't forget to look at it twice, and the three of them continued to walk forward.
Along Jiangti Street, he didn't go far forward, and Chu Qing, who looked down at the sugar man, only felt that his arm was being pulled by someone, but when he turned his head, he saw that it was the wind and bamboo, and he stopped and looked ahead.
Chu Qing felt curious, and looked in the direction of his gaze, but saw that it was the boss Zhang and the others, who were busy in the "soup kitchen", and there were people sitting down in front of the door from time to time to beg for porridge. But Chu Qing found that unlike the last time the two of them came here with Xiao Jiu, there was an extra wooden box standing in front of the soup kitchen, and there were many jewelry hanging in it, gold, silver, and precious stones, which were bright in the sun, which was very good-looking.
Chu Qing looked at it and said in a low voice: "The last time I came, I only saw the porridge shop, but I didn't see the jewelry, could it be that this boss Zhang is back to his old business." ”
Feng Shuzhu looked at it for a while and said, "Don't make a conclusion first, let's take a look." ”
Chu Qing looked at it and said, "It seems that these people have done a lot of good things, and the horns on their foreheads are gone." ”
Feng Shuzhu looked at Boss Zhang and the others, nodded with satisfaction, and did not speak.
At the same time as the three of them stopped to look, a little girl with a horn combed came from the other side of the street, holding a windmill in her hand, laughing as she ran, staring completely at the windmill, and behind the little girl panted and chased after a young woman, who seemed to be the mother of the little girl, calling the little girl's name and telling her not to run so fast.
The little girl was running to the fullest, how could she listen to her mother's words, she kept running on her legs, and turned around and responded hastily, but in the blink of an eye, she had forgotten to look at the road.
Feng Shuzhu, who was standing on the side, read: "It's not good." But it was too late, only to hear a "bang", and the wooden box of jewelry placed in front of the soup kitchen was knocked to the ground by the little girl. The golden light was shining and scattered all over the place, and even if the little girl was young, she knew that she had caused trouble, and looked at the precious jewelry in front of her, and cried out with a frightened "wow".
Passers-by also stopped one after another, and Boss Zhang ran over in a panic, comforting the little girl while packing up the jewelry scattered all over the place.
At this time, the little girl's mother also caught up, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she was so frightened that she turned pale and couldn't say a word, and she was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses and was about to scold the little girl.
I saw Boss Zhang picking up the jewelry one by one, and muttered, "It's okay, it's okay." He said this because there was no damage to the gold and silver jewelry, but when he touched a jade bracelet, he held it up.
It was a jade jade bracelet without impurities, like clear water, which was obviously a rare and rare treasure.
Chu Qing, who had been watching from a distance, couldn't help but get nervous, and secretly thought: "This boss, is it possible that he is returning to his old business, and he can't blackmail porcelain." Seeing the pitiful appearance of the father and daughter, a sense of injustice suddenly rose in my heart, and I wanted to rush over at that time, but I was pulled by the wind and bamboo, and I looked at it with my eyes, so don't act rashly.
More and more people gathered around, pointing fingers, and even more talking.
Some said, "This is a priceless treasure, and it is a treasure at first glance." ”
Some said: "This is going to be a loss." ”
Some also said: "This mother and daughter can't afford to pay even if they sell themselves, where can the poor afford this bracelet." ”
......
Hearing this, the little girl was so frightened that she fell on her mother's lap and did not dare to look at it again.
The young lady also squatted down, hugged the little girl, almost sat down on the ground, with an unacceptable look on her face, and pleaded: "This, this, such a valuable thing, we can't afford to pay for it even if we sell our lives." ”
Boss Zhang came back to his senses at this time, and said bitterly: "It's all poor people, big sister, you don't have to be afraid, this bracelet, this bracelet, our brothers have to bear it, and you don't need to compensate!" After speaking, seeing that the young woman couldn't believe it, he stepped forward to help her up, and said: "Big sister, I said that you don't need to compensate, don't frighten the child, take the child home quickly." ”
The young woman heard it clearly this time, fell to her knees with a "plop", and shouted: "O great good man, great good man." ”
At this time, another man came out of the store, looked at Boss Zhang, and exclaimed: "Brother, this jewelry is stored by someone else to sell it here, and it's okay that it can't be sold, but it has to be compensated for the damage. ”
When Boss Zhang heard this, he said in a deep voice: "I naturally know how to make such noise here." Although he said this, his face was still helpless, and he looked down at the jade bracelet in his hand from time to time.
When I was in a dilemma, I suddenly heard two people in the crowd shouting in unison: "Shopkeeper, sell this bracelet to the little monk." ”
Boss Zhang and the people around him looked sideways, only to see two people coming from the left and the right on both sides of the porridge shop. On the left, one is carrying a blanket behind him, his face is full of wind and dust, but his eyebrows are delicate, and his eyes are unusually bright, he is actually the Kongming Master of Kongjue Temple, and the other person is not tall, wearing a gray monk's robe, and a long new hair, saying that the monk is not like a monk, and it is naturally Jiao Hougen.
The two stood opposite each other, each holding a gold ingot in their hands, which looked like a hundred taels, and looked at Boss Zhang with a smile on the corner of their mouths.
Including Boss Zhang, everyone showed an unbelievable expression and was dumbfounded, and the mother and daughter also looked sideways at the two, as if they were dreaming.
Chu Qing and Feng Shuzhu glanced at each other, nodded to each other, turned their heads again, and continued to look at the soup kitchen.
In the end, Zhang Dada reacted, his eyes widened, and he said, "You, you two masters, do you want to buy this broken jade bracelet?"
Kong Ming and Jiao Hougen nodded at the same time, and replied at the same time, "Exactly." ”
Boss Zhang looked down at the jade bracelet again, and then looked at the two of them, it seemed difficult to choose for a while, although this bracelet is a high-grade jadeite, but it has been broken at this time, and it should be worth a big drop, but the scene in front of him even once made people suspect that this jade bracelet has other valuable places. And I, who had been dealing in jewelry before, really couldn't see anything surprising, so I was stunned.
I only heard Kong Ming smile and said: "Shopkeeper, it's hard to think that this bracelet is a treasure, the little monk just thinks that you accumulate virtue and do good deeds to the sun, so as to save you from many losses." ”
Jiao Hougen also laughed and said: "Even if this jade bracelet monk buys it, he won't take it away." ”
When Boss Zhang heard this, he woke up like a dream, feeling that this was a god sent by God, who came to rescue him, but he looked left and right and didn't know who to sell it to, the monk on the left looked pleasing to the eye, but the one on the right also seemed to be an informal cultivator, and he was actually embarrassed.
At this time, I only heard Kong Ming smile and said: "Shopkeeper, you don't have to be embarrassed, you can give us these two bracelets." ”
When Jiao Hougen heard this, he glanced at Kong Ming, and nodded with a smile.
Boss Zhang almost couldn't believe his ears and eyes, this bracelet was originally worth a hundred taels of gold, but it was broken at this time, and he didn't expect to be able to sell it twice.
There was also a burst of surprise from the crowd of onlookers.
Seeing that Boss Zhang was still so difficult to decide, the two stepped forward, each took a bracelet from Boss Zhang's hand, and stuffed the gold into his hand.
Turning around, the two walked to the stunned mother and daughter, and said clearly: "Amitabha, little donor, you can rest assured, although you were shocked today, but this is also a blessing in disguise, this bracelet will be left as a memorial." Jiao Hougen also gave the bracelet in his hand to the young woman, and said, "Please take it, and take the child home quickly." ”
