Chapter Twenty-Six: Silver!
The dilapidated room, the dim candlelight, a small wooden table where a few dishes are too crowded, two people sitting in a daze, staring at each other with big eyes.
Silver, the burden is full of white flowers!
Even if the only light source in the room at this time was the faint light of the oil lamp, this large pile of silver still reflected a dazzling brilliance, which made the Mei family and his wife dizzy, and felt that their souls were flying.
The silver is cold, and when you hold it in your hand, it is hot.
The silver is white, and to the eye it is red.
Mei Xinyan wanted to say something, but the stalk was in her throat and she couldn't say it, and finally turned into a long sigh.
"Daughter-in-law... Daughter-in-law, what should I do? Mei Youqian panicked, looked at the big bag of silver on the table, all the wine he drank was forced out by sweat, he soaked his clothes, and said with trembling white lips.
Mei Xinyan swallowed her saliva, forced her composure, glanced at Mei Youqian, and said, "What's the panic, it's not okay to be a little out of breath, and it's not the first time I've seen so much silver." ”
Mei Youqian didn't answer, but first leaned on the table, trembling his legs, stood up, walked to a small bucket in the corner of the house, scooped half a scoop of water with a scoop, drank it suddenly, suppressed the fire in his heart, and said, "I've seen it, but it's not mine." ”
Has Mei Youqian really seen it?
Of course it's true, when Mei Youqian sneaked out to do the "911 Plan", he ran from Shaoguang County to Tianliang County, thousands of miles away, when he met many people who had the same goal as him, he found out that all the people who were invited were Xiucai, and even this year's Xiucai, Mei Youqian was shocked at that time, and if he could master this list, it was definitely not an ordinary person, there must be an official background behind this.
And when he arrived at the address on the courier bill with his companions, Mei Youqian was completely stunned.
Nangong San, that is, Mr. Nangong, as everyone respectfully called, as the person in charge of the "911 Plan", he actually sat in front of the door of the mansion and waited for them.
In front of Mr. Nangong there were several cases, sitting four or five talents with pens, registering the information of the visitors, and beside him were three huge bath tubs, which were full of silver, bubbling and pointy, and exuding a dazzling brilliance in the sun.
Mei Youqian felt his heart shake at the first sight, his feet fluttered, his heart was pounding, and he didn't know what was going on behind him, so he registered and paid the money in a daze, and lived in the house.
It was the first time he had seen so much silver in his life, although he later knew that it was fake, only the one above was real silver, and the bottom was full of stones, but Mei Youqian knew that the impact of that large pile of silver on his spiritual world was real, and that was enough.
And today, for the second time, Mei Youqian saw a large pile of silver that was enough to shake his heart, and at least for now, it was his own silver.
Mei Youqian is poor, he is really poor, he was deceived by Nangong San, not to mention, when he left, he was forced by a sudden accident to bring Mei Xinyan, although the two of them had a little bit of silver taels from dividends, but in the process of their desperate escape, they were spent like flowing water, and when they arrived at Lijiazhuang in this greedy wolf county, they were already penniless, if it weren't for Zhu Erye's mother-in-law, they were really pitiful, and lent them the house to live, and if there were usually two good brothers to help, the Mei family and his wife would have starved to death a long time ago。
Mei Xinyan stretched out her hand and pulled the burden in front of her, which startled Mei Youqian, and hurriedly asked her what she was going to do.
"You dare to rob money, but you're scared after robbing. Mei Xinyan took a handful of furoshiki and poured all the silver inside on the table, clanging into a piece, "You don't have to count first." ”
Mei Youqian was stunned, nodded yes, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from his pocket, and prepared to record.
There is no small scale for weighing silver at home, only Mei Xinyan weighed it with her hands, estimated an approximate weight, and asked Mei Youqian to write it down on paper.
The two of them tinkered until the sky was bright, and they repeated it two or three times, and even the lamp oil was refilled before they estimated the pile of silver in front of them.
"120 taels. Mei Youqian calculated the estimated data several times, and after adding them, he took out an average.
"The total estimate is 120 taels. Mei Youqian swallowed his saliva, moistened his dry throat, and repeated it again.
"Put it away. Mei Xinyan touched her sore wrist and said casually, "Put away and sleep, and then talk about other things." ”
"Still asleep?"
"If you don't want to sleep, you just keep staying up, I'm going to sleep anyway. Mei Xinyan got up, didn't wait for Mei Youqian to answer, kicked off her shoes directly, didn't take off her clothes, lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.
Mei Youqian rubbed his sour eyes, looked at the morning light that penetrated through the window, wrapped the silver on the table again with a furoshi, stuffed it under the bed, collapsed on the bed, closed his eyes, turned over and over and couldn't sleep, as if there was silver diaphragm in the quilt under his body.
It wasn't until he was kicked by Mei Xinyan that he gradually quieted down and let out a slight snoring sound.

"Wow"
'Li Tao' stood up from the bath bucket full of medicinal liquid, reached out to take the bath towel handed by the slave, wiped his body, and washed it with clean water again before changing into a new set of clothes and ending the routine of medicinal bathing every morning.
Li Shuwen looked at his apprentice, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
I have received a lot of apprentices, but like Li Tao, I really haven't met it, not only is he talented, he enters the martial arts quickly, but he also has a complete set of boxing techniques, and more importantly, he has a humble attitude, respects the teacher, and sometimes he will suddenly masochist, but it is harmless, as long as he does not attack himself hard, it is not a big problem.
"Master, the apprentice's medicinal bath is over. "'Li Tao' bowed to Li Shuwen.
"Well, yes, yes, full of qi and blood, the realm is stable, and I have officially stepped into the martial arts. Li Shuwen looked at Li Tao with his bare chin, and said with a smile.
And 'Li Tao' stood with his hands tied, neither humble nor arrogant, and listened quietly, as if Li Shuwen was not talking about him, and Li Shuwen was even more satisfied.
"In the next few days, as a teacher, you have something to go out, you can practice according to your own plan, I think your boxing is very standard, much more standard than mine. Li Shuwen stretched out his hand and copied it, holding the big gun in his hand, "Practice hard, and when you are fully successful, the teacher will personally broaden the meridians for you." ”
"Yes, master. "'Li Tao' didn't seem to hear that Li Shuwen was leaving, but as usual, he didn't talk much, and he didn't ask Li Shuwen why he wanted to go out.
Li Shuwen smiled slightly, grabbed the big gun, and didn't speak anymore, turned around and left.
"Damn, you should ask the master where he is going, isn't it good to take me with one. Li Tao in the system space saw Li Shuwen leave, and hurriedly said to the system.
"Oh, I think I should ask where the medicated bath solution is for the next few days, what do you think? ”
"No, no, no, don't ask. Li Tao's head shook like a rattle.
"I'll stand for two hours, and then I'll go out and find the guy from last night. ”
"Okay, okay, you're brother, you have the final say. Hearing that the system said that he was going to stand on the stake again, Li Tao hurriedly lay down in the system space.
'Li Tao' was standing in the courtyard with a tiger pile, and Li Shuwen came to Li Yuan's courtyard again at this time, it was still the pavilion last time, and it was still the seat last time.
"Da Da Da"
Li Yuan's fingers couldn't stop tapping on the stone table, and his eyes looked directly at Li Shuwen who was sitting opposite the old god.
"Brother, have you really thought about it?"
After a long time, Li Yuan finally broke the silence by opening his mouth.
"Well, I've thought about it a long time ago. Li Shuwen stretched out his hand and pressed the table, leaving a shallow palm print, and then reached out and stroked it, and the palm print just now disappeared like magic.
"Alas, brother, you still can't let go. Li Yuan raised the cup in his hand and drank all the contents of the cup.
"It's not that I don't want to let go, it's that my heart doesn't allow me to let go, as long as I think that those scum scum can still sleep peacefully, I can't sleep. Li Shuwen stopped what he was doing, raised his head and met Li Yuan's eyes, and muttered.
"Yes, brother, you can do whatever you want, with your strength, no one in the four northwestern counties can stop you. Li Yuan saw that Li Shuwen insisted, and he didn't say anything, after all, Li Shuwen's strength at the peak of Danjin was there.
"However, brother, I must say that this time the matter may be a bit big, and you must not reveal your identity. ”
"What's this, I specially learned an eight-pole knife, isn't it just for this kind of time. Li Shuwen heard Li Yuan's words, smiled and waved his hand and said, "Who could have guessed that the famous 'Spear God' not only has the real strength of Dan Jin, but also knows a set of sword techniques." ”
"Well, that's right. Li Yuan raised the wine glass in his hand and saluted Li Shuwen, "That brother is here, I wish the old brother can completely cut off the entanglement of mortal dust this time and make a breakthrough!"
After speaking, drink it all.
Li Yuan stood in front of the courtyard gate, looked at Li Shuwen's departing back, let out a long sigh, and was about to turn around and go back to the house, but he felt that the family next to him seemed to have something to say to himself, but he didn't speak, looking very embarrassed.
"Li Chuan, what's wrong?" Li Yuan asked suspiciously, after all, this family member is not a young man with him, he is half a cronie, he now has an expression that he knows that something is wrong when he looks at it, of course he has to ask.
"Master, it's the young master's business. When the family named Li Chuan heard the old man ask him, he no longer hesitated, leaned his head close to Li Yuan's side, and said in a low voice.
"Huh?" When Li Yuan heard this, he was also a little puzzled, didn't his rebel son practice at home recently, what was the matter.
"Come in and say. Li Yuan glanced at him and walked into the house.
"Yes, sir. Li Chuan also stepped into the courtyard and carefully closed the courtyard door.
