Chapter 12: The Clear Water of the Lechuan River (1)

The Lethe River is clear.

......

"Xiaobei, what are you doing here? Didn't you hear your father tell you to go back to guard the shop?" Mu Geng looked at Yi Xiaobei who was still wandering around the stalls with disgust, when was this time, why are you still here to watch some gadgets that girls like? I am not afraid of being laughed at.

Yi Xiaobei didn't mean to turn back at all, and was still tossing and turning on the two lotus lanterns: "You say my father, you like it, you go to guard the shop, anyway, my father treats you like his own son, you guard me the same." ”

Mu Geng was a little angry: This Yi Xiaobei, people are quite righteous, but they always like to leave the work to themselves.

Although the second elder of the Yi family raised Mu Geng in front of his second son, it is no wonder that Mu Geng is angry every time he sees Yi Xiaobei.

Yi Xiaobei didn't notice the anger on the person next to him, and just took a blue lotus lamp from the stall, and was grabbed by Mu Geng by the back collar and dragged it backwards.

Hurriedly threw a few copper plates to the stall owner who was almost angry, Yi Xiaobei smiled shyly, and while unloading his strength from his back collar, he quietly removed his hand from his back collar: "Okay, okay, isn't it just to guard the shop, I'll go." Don't be angry, I'll go back and put lanterns on you, okay?"

Mu Gengrao was already accustomed to Yi Xiaobei's faceless appearance, and at this moment, he was also dazzled by the blue lantern that Xiaobei was carrying: "What the hell is this!

Yi Xiaobei didn't mind, but instead reached out and handed the blue lotus lantern into his arms, feeling like a bribe: "What's wrong with blue?

Just like me, I am a woman, but I can only wear men's clothes for the rest of my life.

......

Yi Xiaobei's parents wanted a man to take over their pawnshop, but they gave birth to a daughter.

The doctor said that this girl was not easy to come by, and it would be difficult to have children in the future, so just raise it as a man!

So, just like that, Yi Xiaobei pretended to be a man and mingled in private schools all the year round, and got acquainted with Mu Geng, a good buddy.

Yi Xiaobei returned to his pawnshop with mixed feelings, and happened to meet his father's angry eyes: "Where are you going! Didn't I tell you two days ago, I want to guard the shop today! I still have to participate in the lantern festival with your mother!"

Yi Xiaobei: "......" is really a bowl of good dog food that came out of nowhere.

Father Yi suddenly saw Mu Geng behind Xiao Bei, and the anger on his face immediately dissipated cleanly: "Xiao Geng, why are you here too? Don't you go to see the lanterns at night? I heard that this year's lanterns are a little more beautiful than in previous years." ”

Mu Geng looked back with a strange look, glanced at Xiaobei, and said to Father Yi faintly: "...... I heard that my uncle and aunt are very interested in going to the lantern festival today, so I came to accompany Xiaobei to guard the shop, so as not to make Xiaobei feel lonely. ”

Father Yi sighed: "Xiao Geng is really a good boy......"

Yi Xiaobei: "...... okay, okay, the drama is sung for you, and I will give you the stage as well?"

Obviously, he is the child of the Yi family, but every time Mu Geng comes over, he can always get acquainted with Yi's father and mother like a parent of the Yi family.

With an attitude of not being out of sight, Yi Xiaobei walked behind the counter and looked down at the account book.

I don't know if God wants to compensate for Yi Xiaobei's embarrassing gender or what, she is a good hand in both arithmetic and estimating value.

As long as the things in the pawnshop are recovered by Yi Xiaobei's hands, they can always be sold at three to four times the price, only making money and not losing, but they can also coax the people who come to take things and the people who come to collect things to be obedient.

For this doorway, Mu Geng is very convinced.

It's just that Mu Geng feels curious that for a man, this Yi Xiaobei is too thin.

With thin arms and thin legs, and a white and tender face, if you say that you want to do a play, I am afraid that you will also be a famous character.

Suddenly, Xiaobei turned his head, and a pair of watery eyes met Mu Geng.

Mu Geng opened his eyes suddenly, and his heart was beating wildly: Bah, what kind of drama, how can you slander your brother like this!

"What's wrong with you?" Yi Xiaobei didn't notice where his strange appearance came from, he just frowned and stretched out his hand to the abacus, "I'm sorry for you to give that to me." ”

It turned out to be just an abacus...... Mu Geng's heart was empty, but he still took the abacus for her.

Look at her lowering eyes and making calculations, the small and straight nose bridge, and the red lips that are not self-red, but it looks like a ......

With a "bang", someone suddenly smashed something on the counter, which interrupted Mu Geng's thoughts and shocked the entire pawnshop.

Yi Xiaobei frowned and raised his head, looking at the handsome man in front of him, but with a bad breath: "...... What's the matter?"

The man was stunned, he probably didn't expect that he would be treated so impolitely, but he was in a hurry, he had an errand to do this time, and he was too lazy to bother with this little guy: "...... I'm going to be something!"

With that, he opened the cloth bag that had just been smashed on the counter, and inside was a wooden box.

When the box was opened again, the jade products inside made Mu Geng's eyes suddenly light up: even if he didn't understand Yi Xiaobei, he could see that this thing was worth a thousand gold.

Yi Xiaobei didn't raise his head, but just stared thoughtfully at the jade carving: "How much money is the eldest brother going to be?"

“...... One hundred taels. The look of heartache on the man's face flashed.

Mu Geng's heart was in ecstasy, but Yi Xiaobei said: "It's not appropriate." ”

"Why?!" The man gasped, why, could it be that this girl could see it? But he had already checked it, and there was no mark on it.

Yi Xiaobei was calm: "...... We're closed. ”

Mu Geng: "......"

Man: "......"

The color of the owl flashed on the man's face, and he reached out and picked up Yi Xiaobei's collar across the counter, pinching her so much that she almost didn't catch her breath.

At a glance, I recognized this thing as a tribute from the palace, because this jade quality was too special. But what I didn't expect now was that this guy actually dared to commit murder in broad daylight? Could it be that this jade carving was not only sold cheaply, but also had to involve something else?

Mu Geng reacted very quickly, and stepped forward with a punch and kick, although he failed to hurt the person in front of him, but he finally let go of Yi Xiaobei, who was almost strangled to death.

Yi Xiaobei sat on the ground and coughed violently, while Mu Geng stood in front of Yi Xiaobei vigilantly, looking at the person in front of him.

What a handsome kung fu! That person's heart jumped violently, not with fists and legs, but with real moves! This guy, could it be ......

There was a whistle behind him, and the man didn't dare to stay longer, so he turned around and was about to run, but Mu Geng stretched out his hand and smashed the jade carving and the wooden box to him: "Remember to take your things away!"

The man turned around and snorted, but he didn't dare to really break the jade carving, so he could only leave with the box in his arms.

Yi Xiaobei was still coughing for a long time, and Mu Geng was so frightened: "What should I do? Shouldn't that person's hand be poisonous, right? Why are you still coughing?"

Yi Xiaobei was angry and funny in his heart, what kind of poison is so poisonous that he can be applied to his hands? What if he turns himself over first?

However, as soon as this thought came to mind, Yi Xiaobei fell to the ground dizzily.
