Chapter 161: The Dumb Couple (Page 1/1)

"Hey, old man. ”

A disciple of the Seven Saints Sect walked over and stopped the donkey cart, he was the one in charge of the group of girls' food.

It had been several days since their group had left Dingtao City, and the few villages they passed by were not large in number, so they could not buy much.

If it's just a few dozen of them, who told them that there are still more than 100 people who need to be escorted, don't look at the girl's family, the consumption of food is not small.

Therefore, in addition to buying in the villages and towns and cities passing by, if you meet such villagers, you will also get some food and vegetables from them.

"Where is this going, is it going to be sold in the city?"

The old man was eating donkey meat and roasting it, and when he heard this, he stopped the donkey cart, first put away the fire and put it in his arms, and then he looked around with a little fear, and then he made an ahhh

"It turned out to be a mute.

The disciple walked to the back of the donkey cart, looked at the dozen cabbage radishes and a few bags of rice pulled on it, and said, "I want it, how much money?"

The old man seemed surprised, first glanced at his wife beside him, and then stretched out a finger.

"A tael of silver?"

The old man was startled when he heard this, shook his head again and again, and kept gesturing a finger.

The disciple scratched his head, looked at the old woman and said, "I don't understand what your old man said. ”

Hearing this, the old woman touched the old man beside her with her elbow, signaling him not to make a gesture, and then she slowly got out of the car, leaned over, picked up a branch from the side of the road, and wrote three words on the ground.

"It's a mute couple. ”

The disciple didn't say anything, frowning and carefully identifying the three words on the ground, before he said, "Oh, a hundred words, right?"

This time the old man smiled again and nodded.

"Okay, I'll do it. The disciple beckoned to the girl behind him and said, "Come and put these in the carriage quickly." ”

The girls dared to be disobedient, and immediately a few people ran over, but as soon as the disciple saw that all of them were thin girls, he immediately frowned, pointed to the few people in the crowd who looked strong, and said:

"I don't care who you like to point fingers at others in private, but since I asked you to come to work, then don't play tricks with me!

When he turned his head to look at the thin girls, the disciple's tone softened a little and said, "It's good for you to move the cabbage and radishes, and let them carry the bags of rice." ”

When the disciple said these words, he didn't notice that the old woman's eyes first flashed a strange color, and then turned his head sideways to look at the old man beside him.

The old man glanced at his wife, and he understood a trace of that look, and nodded faintly to show that he understood.

"Here, count to see if you have enough. ”

The disciple took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, took out a small string of copper coins from it, and handed it over.

The old man took the copper coin with a happy face, and he didn't have the fear just now, so he counted it there, and didn't even care that the old woman was tugging at the corner of her clothes to signal to leave first.

The disciple's eyes narrowed slightly, and although he didn't urge, his right hand was already on the hilt of the knife on his waist seemingly inadvertently.

On the surface, he pretended to be indifferent, but in fact, he was already a little vigilant in his heart, not only him, but even the other brothers around him, when they saw the situation of covering their faces, they also swept their eyes over from time to time.

Although they have seen a lot of such passers-by, but now there is a person who does not know the identity is making trouble everywhere, and they are worried that there will be that person among these people who is disguised and pretended, and now it seems that he is counting money, and maybe he will do it in the next moment.

As the old man counted them word by word, the disciple became more and more vigilant, and took two steps back as if nothing happened, and distanced himself from the couple, lest he react if there was a real problem.

After a while, the old man finally finished counting, took out three copper coins from them and returned them to the disciple, signaling you to give more, and return these to you.

The disciple was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just three cents, you don't have to keep it for yourself." ”

As a result, the old man was very stubborn and insisted on not wanting to, and in the end, the disciple didn't want to waste time for this money, you want to give more to others and the other party is not good, so why bother talking more?

However, in this way, when the disciple and the other people who were still doubting the identities of the two before, they let down some of their vigilance.

The old man seemed to be thanking him for a few words, and then he took his wife and prepared to drive back, took out the still hot donkey meat from his bosom and burned it and ate it.

The disciple was also about to go back, but his nose moved, he smelled the smell of meat, turned his head and saw the old man eating donkey meat, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Wait a minute!"

The old man stopped the car and looked at the disciple with a puzzled expression, holding the burning hand of the donkey meat on his chest, as if he was worried that the disciple would regret to take back the money in his arms.

The disciple shook his head, and said in his heart that he was really a farmer who had never seen the world, would he care about a hundred yuan?

"Old man, let me tell you something, do you want to buy this donkey?"

The disciple's eyes were fixed on the donkey, and the image of roasting the donkey's meat had already appeared in his mind.

These days, I am worried that I will be drugged by those people, they dare not eat the food cooked by those girls, they dare not eat the wild fruits outside, and the prepared jerky has long been eaten, and now they can only gnaw on tasteless dry food every day.

Sometimes if you are lucky enough to come across a hare or something, you can open the meat, but there are so many people in their team that those little animals have long been frightened and don't know where to go, and they have caught three rabbits and a fawn along the way.

For dozens of them, who like to eat meat on weekdays, these things are not even enough to stuff their teeth, otherwise why would the large amount of jerky prepared be eaten in a few days?

Now seeing this donkey in front of him, this disciple felt that he couldn't miss it, especially the aroma of the donkey meat that the old man was eating, which made him start to swallow his saliva.

As long as the other party is willing to buy it, he dares to buy it, even if it is more expensive, it doesn't matter, he knows that this feeling will definitely be unanimously praised by his peers.

The old man seemed to be stabilized by this disciple, and he was stunned for a long time before shaking his head.

"Don't, old man, how about you make a price and make sure you won't suffer?"

The old man continued to shake his head.

Seeing this, the disciple directly took out a small ingot of silver from his arms and said, "How about these, it's more than enough to buy your donkey?"

This time, the old man did not continue to insist, his eyes were shining at the ingot of silver, and he turned his head to look at his wife, as if asking for advice.

Seeing that his wife nodded, the old man also nodded to the disciple.

After taking the silver, the old man pointed to the wooden cart pulled behind the donkey, and made a few gestures, which meant that the wooden cart will be delivered to you.

The disciple also understood, and immediately cried and laughed, but he thought that he needed firewood or something to roast donkey meat for a while, so he didn't say anything, pulled the donkey cart and walked towards the bonfire.

Hearing that he had bought a donkey and was ready for everyone to satisfy their hunger, the disciple of the Seven Holy Sect immediately cheered.

Listening to the happy voices of those people behind him, the old man and the old woman who were drifting away also smiled with satisfaction.
