Chapter 079: A Deal

Whether it is steamed buns, frogs, snakes or chickens, he will not choose either, because he has no appetite at all now, and he only feels disgusting now. Who can eat in a place like this? Only the weird kind of forgetfulness can eat.

Ochre Aya stared at Bai Luoshang tightly with a pair of sparkling eyes, she found that she suddenly had a strong interest in this person, seeing Bai Luoshang's unyielding expression, Ochre Aya couldn't help but threaten: "I don't know what to do, starve you to death." ”

Bai Luoshang smiled bitterly: "Whether it is starved to death or poisoned, it is a dead end, didn't the girl say that she wanted to save my life?

Ochre laughed, "Yes, I'm here to save you, and I always have to show you a way to live." ”

Bai Luoshang nodded vigorously in agreement.

Ochre Aya smiled and said, "I think you should be a person who remembers your gratitude, if I save you, you will definitely repay your gratitude." ”

Bai Luoshang nodded vigorously again in agreement.

Ochre Aya leaned in at him and said with a smile: "Yesterday you bought your life with ten taels, how much are you going to exchange for your life today?"

Bai Luoshang smiled and asked rhetorically, "How much are you going to want?"

Ochre Aya smiled and asked, "How much can you pay?"

Bai Luoshang rolled her eyes and thought for a moment before replying, "I can give as much as you want." ”

Ochre Aya clapped her hands, "Once the word is spoken, the horse is difficult to chase, since Bai Daxia has said so, then we will say so." Since the noble prince is willing to spend 1,000 taels of silver to buy you, then I will ask for 2,000 taels of silver, you should be able to get this, right?"

"Well said. ”

"Then when can you give the money?"

"I don't have any money on me. ”

Ochre Aya frowned, and said unhappily: "You dare to lie to me?"

Seeing that this woman was about to get angry, Bai Luoshang hurriedly shook his hand and said with a smile: "I never lie to people, although I don't have silver with me, but if I want silver, the silver will naturally arrive, but it's a matter of time." ”

Ochre Aya lowered her eyelids and thought for a long time before she asked him in disbelief: "Then how much time do you need?"

Bai Luoshang smiled and swore solemnly: "As long as I can get out of this mountain, silver is not a problem." ”

Although this was extremely vague, Ochre Aya finally chose to believe Bai Luosheng's words, "Since you say that, I don't think you will go back on your word." ”

Bai Luoshang was slightly surprised, why did this woman believe his words so much, and where did this trust come from?

He thinks that he is not a man who seems to be honest and kind, and how can he be believed by others when he says it, because even he himself will not fully believe his own words.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Bai Luosheng's face again: "You trust me so much?"

But she said, "I don't believe in you, I just believe in myself." ”

"Oh?"

"Naturally, I have my own way of making it impossible for you to settle this account. ”

"What can you do?"

"How could I easily let you know. ”

"Can't I know?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Okay. Bai Luoshang had no choice but to say this, because he knew that women's ideas had always been unreasonable.

Ochre Aya confirmed again, "I want two thousand taels of silver, and I can't miss a cent." ”

Bai Luoshang nodded, "I won't give you any less." ”

Ochre suddenly laughed.

Bai Luoshang didn't know why this woman had to ask for these two thousand taels of silver, but from her expression, it seemed that she really needed these silver very much. Now that he had just given her a promise and had not fulfilled it, she had already laughed happily.

Bai Luoshang said tentatively: "Can I know, why do you want these two thousand taels of silver?"

Ochre Aya put away the smile on her face and asked indifferently, "You really want to know?"

Bai Luoshang nodded and said, "It's just a little curious." ”

Ochre Aya said with a straight face: "Curiosity is not good. ”

"I know. ”

"And you still have to ask?"

"Can't you tell me?"

"Yes. Ochre Aya pointed to the dilapidated house and asked coldly, "When you woke up, did you find that this place was different?"

Bai Luoshang glanced around, except for the gray and the house was a little broken, nothing strange was found.

Ochre Aya didn't feel strange when she heard him say it, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you see other strange things either?"

Bai Luoshang swept to the side again, but still didn't find anything strange.

Ochre Aya didn't believe it, "You definitely didn't look closely, but if you look closely, you'll definitely find something strange." ”

Bai Luoshang looked around again, and then said without being salty: "I must say something strange, that is, there is a group of people named Hanako over there, and I think this is probably a beggar's nest." ”

Ochre Sneered, "That's right, it's a beggar's nest full of people named Hanako. ”

Qiu Lifeng's fire almost burned down the entire ruined temple, but this hall was only burned to the roof and the door of the hall.

I don't know why, the fire didn't burn down here, but the part outside the main hall was unrecognizable. It seems that something stopped the spread of the fire and kept the main hall.

The statue of the god of the city god is also majestically enshrined in the center of the main hall, and covered with thick cobwebs.

The offering table was already in tatters due to disrepair, and when the wind blew it, it staggered as if it was about to collapse.

At first glance, there was a thick layer of dust everywhere, and the ruined walls were covered with moss. As you can imagine, even if you can shelter from the wind and rain before this, it is extremely humid and cold. The rain doesn't come in, and neither does the sun. It's just that because of a fire, this hall has no roof, so the bright sunlight can shine in.

Under the broken wall, leaning on one or twenty beggars, they kept their heads hanging and snuggled together motionlessly, neither making a sound nor moving, as if they had taken root, and like statues made of stone.

Even if he was only two steps away from them, he couldn't detect the breath of a living person on their bodies, a heavy and dead breath, the breath was very weak, and there was no living energy.

Now that I think about it, the reason why Lou Qianyun wants to protect this broken temple may be that the real ones he wants to protect may be these beggars who live in the temple. No wonder Qiu Lifeng said that setting fire to the temple can force out the people behind the scenes. It is impossible for a fire to threaten a person with profound skills like Lou Qianyun, but if you use the lives of these people to persecute it, it is very likely to succeed.

So, what does Lou Qianyun have to do with these beggars?

"Originally, it was also a place to shelter from the wind and rain. "It's a pity that all that's left is the broken wall on three sides and a broken door, and even the roof is burning, I don't know how long these people will live." ”

Bai Luoshang silently raised her eyes to look at the roof above her that was almost almost tiled, and she didn't know what to say.

The roof beam, which had been shattered by the fire, looked like it could collapse at any moment, and the nose could smell the smell of burning.

The whole house has been engulfed in fire like this, why hasn't the place where people lived been burned down?

The reason could only be that someone organized the spread of the fire, so how did the people who stopped it do it?

There were no traces of dampness, and it was clearly not extinguished with water. Since the fire had already burned to the roof, it can be seen that the fire was very fierce at that time, how could such a big fire be extinguished?

Bai Luoshang rubbed his nose, the smell in this hall made people feel very uncomfortable, not only the smell of burnt smoke, but also a very strong smell of rottenness, which was even more unbearable than the sour smell of ordinary beggars.

It's a bit reluctant to live in this kind of place.

Bai Luoshang glanced at Ochre Aya and guessed, "Do you want two thousand taels of silver because you want to rebuild this temple?"

Using the silver to rebuild a shelter for these people was the only possibility that Bai Luoshang could think of, but it was quickly denied by Ochre Aya.

I only heard Ochre Aya sneered: "Do you think this kind of place needs to be rebuilt? They hid in this dilapidated temple in the original place to prevent people from discovering it, if they built a brand new temple on such a barren mountain, wouldn't it be easier for people to find out?"

Bai Luoshang stared at Ochre Aya and asked, "Why can't these people be discovered?"

Ochre Aya realized that her mouth was fast, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly changed the topic and said, "You get up." ”

Bai Luoshang stared at Ochre Inexplicably, not understanding what she was trying to do.

Ochre Aya pointed to Bai Luosheng's body, "You seem to be holding down something." ”

Bai Luoshang lowered his head and saw that it was a tattered and tattered cloth.

"Is this yours?" Bai Luoshang pulled the rag out from under him, only to feel that the smell on the rag was even more unpleasant.

Ochre Aya snorted, "This is Xiaosheng's clothes, he lent this to you to cushion your back while you were sleeping." ”

The little student she said was the little boy who was full of lies, and since he left Bai Luoshang and Qiu Lifeng in the corpse cave and ran away, Bai Luoshang had never found this little ghost. Now that he heard Ochre Aya say this, he was finally sure that the little ghost was really in the same group as these people.

"Is this child an orphan?" asked Bai Luosheng casually.

Unexpectedly, he only got a sneering response from Ochre Aya.

Bai Luoshang looked at her, "Did I ask the wrong question?"

Ochre said coldly, "Didn't he already tell you that his parents were dead?"

Bai Luoshang nodded, thinking that the little ghost was not full of lies, at least this sentence was true. But Bai Luoshang still couldn't understand why this little ghost had to tell a lie like "he was eight years old, and his father died ten years ago"?

"Then what do you want to do with the silver?" Bai Luoshang really couldn't figure it out, if it wasn't to use the silver to rebuild a place for these beggars, then what did Ochre Aya want to do with the silver?

"People here are sick. "They're sick, they need silver, they need to see a doctor." ”
