"No, this is twenty taels of silver tickets, for you. ”
The excitement continued, but Miss Jiang finally remembered that Ye Jun was born and took the time to give him the reward.
Carefully hiding the silver ticket in his arms, Ye Junsheng smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, you will have to carry the big worm in the future, you can squeak." ”
Jiang Jing'er couldn't help but roll her eyes: This nerd thinks that big insects are everywhere, and they are so easy to kill?
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Ye Junsheng walked back to the city. As the saying goes, if you have money in your hands, you don't panic in your heart, and you don't have to clean up the firewood.
When I walked to the entrance of the village, I suddenly heard a "moo" cow cry, and when I looked up, I saw a thin young man in front of me leading a buffalo.
The buffalo has shriveled skin, cloudy eyes, and a broken left horn, and the characteristics of "old, weak, sick and disabled" are extremely obvious. At this time, it stood on all fours, let the youth lead, but refused to go forward, its mouth let out a "moo" call, and its expression was very anthropomorphic towards the young man, looking very pitiful and desolate.
"Old cow, I know that you are afraid and do not want to be stabbed, but now that you are old and can no longer farm, I have to sell you for some silver taels ......"
The young man said, "When the ox refused to go, he broke a branch and drove it away." But the old cow kept barking and still stopped.
Hearing its scream, the young man sighed, gritted his teeth, and was about to whip hard.
"Childe, buy that cow ...... quickly"
Ye Junsheng was about to surpass the past, but an eager voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
It's the fox fairy who is talking!
He was pleasantly surprised, and his right hand couldn't help but touch his arms - the "Spirit Fox Picture" was hidden inside.
After many days, the fox fairy finally appeared again. It's just that the other party only said a word, and then fell silent, and there was no more silence.
Ye Junsheng was shocked and groaned. But soon, he made up his mind, walked over, and stopped the young man: "This little brother, are you going to sell the cow?"
The young man looked at him and replied, "Yes." ”
"Oh, where are you going to sell it?"
The young man's expression was gloomy: "I'm going to sell it to the Wu butcher in the township." ”
To sell to a butcher is to sell to him to slaughter, to cut the meat and to sell.
-- In the Tianhua Dynasty, the role of ploughing cattle was very important, and it was never allowed to be slaughtered privately, and only old, weak, sick and disabled cattle that had lost their labor force could apply for a slaughter order.
Among them, the formalities must have been completed a long time ago.
Ye Junsheng changed the topic and inquired about the other party's life experience. The young man is quite upright and knows everything. It turned out that his name was "Ah Yong", his parents died when he was a child, and his brother and sister-in-law were extremely mean people. Now that the buffalo is old and sick, and can no longer go to the field, it has to choose to sell it so that he can earn some money to marry his wife and live.
After listening, Ye Junsheng was thoughtful, he didn't have time to think about it, and got straight to the point: "Little brother, if you can, can you sell this cow to me?"
The young man let out an "ah" and looked at him: "You want to buy it?"
Ye Junsheng smiled and said, "Well, but I bought cattle, not to buy them to kill." ”
The young man was surprised: "Then what are you going to do?"
Ye Junsheng smiled: "This little brother doesn't need to ask more, whether to sell it or not?" Don't worry, how much does Butcher Wu bid, and I will do the same." ”
The young man tilted his head and said humbly: "Two runs." ”
Two runs, that is, twenty taels of silver, the price is not expensive. But this price can only buy old cattle, and the price of ploughing cattle in the prime of life is even higher, up to more than ten yuan, and even much higher than the value of slaves and maids.
Cattle are more expensive than people.
"Two Penetrations......
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Ye Junsheng's mouth: At the moment before, let alone two times, he may not be able to get two pennies. But as it happened, he had just received a reward of twenty taels of silver from Jiang Jing'er.
In this way, if you buy this cow, it means that the silver ticket that has not yet warmed will change hands again.
Unwillingly.
It's just that the fox fairy suddenly appeared, and it must make sense to buy this cow by himself. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll buy it." ”
"Don't buy it!"
Someone shouted behind him, and when he looked back, it was Jiang Jing'er, who walked out again for some reason.
"Idiot, are you stupid? What are you buying this cow for?"
Ye Junsheng said: "Buy it and raise it." ”
Jiang Jing'er's expression was not good, and then she thought of something, her face improved slightly, she pulled him aside, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to buy this cow and bring it back to the city to sell it at a high price?"
Ye Junsheng shook his head and said very seriously: "No, I really have to buy and raise it." ”
Miss Jiang was almost so angry that her eyes darkened: "You fool, you are not allowed to spend money indiscriminately." ”
Ye Junsheng blinked his eyes and said in surprise: "I said Miss Jiang, the money is mine, how to use it, I don't need your approval." ”
"You!"
Jiang Jing'er stomped her foot fiercely: "The mud can't support the wall!" turned around and left angrily, forgetting even the original intention of coming to Ye Junsheng.
......
Five hundred miles south of Jizhou, there is a mountain name "Jingyang", it is a sacred mountain outside the world, the white clouds are misty all day long, such as real and illusory.
The mountain behind Jingyang is precipitous, the cliffs stand in a forest, the flying stream is like a waterfall, the ravines are like hemp, among them, the pine and cypress are green, the lush clusters, the cranes can be seen soaring from time to time, and the spirit monkeys jump.
A large number of Taoist buildings are located here.
In the Jingyang Hall, at this time, a person was sitting upright, looking at the nose and the nose, and the heart was in the meditation. This Taoist is about the middle of the year, with a long beard fluttering, a crystal skin, delicate as a baby, and wearing a gossip robe.
The hall was extremely quiet, and you could hear a needle falling from the ground.
Suddenly, the sound of "bang" was extremely alarming. If Ye Junsheng heard it, he would definitely be surprised, so at this moment, it was at the same time that the fox fairy appeared to speak-
Daoist Huo Ran opened his eyes, and his eyes burst with light, which was terrifying. As soon as he stretched out his hand, a bronze mirror flew into his palm.
This mirror, however, is the size of a palm, and it is antique. At this time, the mirror scene surged, and finally slowly formed a pattern, as if it was a map, with the distribution of the veins of the Chengchi Mountain Range. In one place, a little grain of light flickered.
The Taoist looked carefully, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and muttered, "The western suburbs of Pengcheng County...... Could it be that she has been hiding there for a hundred years?
His face was gloomy, and suddenly a law was struck. Soon, there was a footnote outside the hall: "Zhou Chaoshan visited the master, I don't know what the master commanded?"
The man who came was a young man, three inches in size like a gourd, wearing a wide robe, which looked a little funny. His face was scorched yellow, with a short beard, and he knelt on the ground at this time, waiting for the decree of the law.
The Taoist flicked his fingers and flew out a round treasure jade, and said: "Chaotic Mountain, you go to Pengcheng County for a trip, follow this breath to pursue and search, once you find it, don't act rashly, and report the information immediately." ”
Zhou Lanshan took the treasure jade, stretched out his hand to wipe it, and remembered the breath on it, and said respectfully: "Obey the law." ”
Exit the temple.
The main hall, quiet restored.
After a long time, the Taoist who sat still suddenly stretched out his hand, and a wide painting scroll appeared out of thin air, and when the air was spread out, it was fully revealed.
This is a painting of a woman dressed in white, with eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like paint, and an ethereal face that makes people feel suffocated when they look at it. She was looking into the distance, her eyes looking into the distance, as if she was expecting something.
Behind her, a white and flawless furry tail suddenly appeared, mischievously erected, as if unwilling to be covered by the dress.
It's a fox tail.
The human body is a fox tail, and the appearance of a fox demon.
"If it's really her, the matter is serious, and you must return to the sect as soon as possible......
The voice of the Taoist echoed in the hall, gradually returning to nothingness.
