Chapter 6: The First Pot of Gold
"Just go pick it again, there are more than a dozen over there!" Xiao Tianming hurriedly protected the fruit in his arms. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He had completely forgotten that the fruit had been picked by the strange man, and that he had encountered the terrible ape lynx, but if he had not led the way, the strange man would not have been able to find the fruit tree.
The strange man ran back and picked all the yellow fruits, this time he didn't spread his hands to Xiao Tianming, obviously he didn't plan to give them to him.
The strange man ate two more, and then he was satisfied, held the other fruits in his arms, and followed Xiao Tianming down the mountain. I don't know if it's an illusion, Xiao Tianming seemed to see the lynx's eyelids tremble when he left.
"This fruit is very rare, why don't I go to the village to peddle it, maybe I can exchange it for some copper coins, and I can buy some rice and noodles to eat, otherwise I am afraid that my teeth will be sour just by eating this fruit." Xiao Tianming thought about it.
He is only eight years old now, and he already feels that his teeth are so sore after eating a fruit, he can't eat this fruit for lunch and dinner!
"But the real treasure is this weirdo!" Xiao Tianming was secretly happy in his heart.
The greatest treasure he found today was not the two fruit trees and these fruits, but this strange man! He had already seen that this strange man was indeed a great master, and he had a little suspicion that what he had done last night was just an illusion.
But today it was finally confirmed!
When passing by Kang Kee Noodle Shop, Xiao Tianming suddenly thought of something, this fruit is a rare thing, and there are not many people in Lingyun Village who are willing to pay for it.
But this Uncle Kang is one of them who can afford it.
"Uncle Kang, look at this fruit, do you want to buy it back and taste it?" Xiao Tianming asked.
Uncle Kang took the yellow fruit in Xiao Tianming's water, smelled it, and then threw it back to him, disdainfully saying: "Just this thing, it's just a fresh one, it's worth a few dollars." ”
Xiao Tianming was suddenly disappointed, Uncle Kang obviously didn't like these fruits and didn't want to pay for them.
But soon he was happy again, for he saw a familiar figure.
Zhao Zhugan!
He was walking along the village road with his cousin and the sturdy young man, and when Xiao Tianming saw him, he also saw Xiao Tianming.
Suddenly he wanted to go around, his cousin couldn't beat Xiao Tianming, so he couldn't bear it anymore, wait until he found a better opportunity in the future, and then teach him a hard lesson, now he just endured the humiliation.
"Ruozhu, why don't you say hello when you see me?" Xiao Tianming came to Zhao Ruozhu very familiarly, and people who didn't know thought they were good friends.
"Why should I say hello to you? Zhao Ruozhu saw that Xiao Tianming seemed to be a little ill-intentioned, and suddenly became vigilant in his heart.
Zhao Ruozhu often bullied other people's children in the village, and once when he saw Xiao Tianming, he wanted to bully him, and was finally beaten up.
After that time, their relationship became very bad, although it was not good in the first place. However, after being beaten that time, Zhao Ruozhu rarely did anything to bully the weak, but he was still angry with Xiao Tianming.
Their relationship was not very good because of this, and now that he suddenly came up with a smile on his face, there must be something wrong.
Xiao Tianming took out the yellow fruit picked from the mountain and said with a smile: "Look, this fruit is sour and sweet, it is delicious, how many can you buy and taste?"
Zhao Ruozhu looked at the fruit in his hand, and immediately began to laugh: "I said, why did you kid suddenly smile at me, it turned out that you were tricking me into buying things, just a few fruits, and you still want to cheat me out of money." ”
"You want to be beautiful, don't give it to me. Zhao Ruozhu decisively rejected Xiao Tianming's promotion.
Xiao Tianming didn't mind, but peeled off the skin of the fruit, and the yellow and clear flesh inside was revealed, and suddenly a fruity fragrance wafted out, refreshing people's hearts.
Zhao Ruozhu's eyes suddenly seemed to be attracted by a magnet, and his throat obviously had a swallowing movement.
The sour fruity aroma came out, and even the strong young man and Zhao Ruomu were attracted to it, but just now Zhao Ruozhu's words of refusal had already been spoken, and they couldn't say that they wanted to buy it.
"Look, Ruozhu, your cousin and your cousin's junior brother came to our Lingyun Village, I know you are not rare with this thing, shouldn't you, as a landlord, entertain them with local specialties?"
Xiao Tianming was very caring and gave Zhao Ruozhu a step down.
Zhao Ruozhu naturally borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "Since you said so, then let's buy a few and try them." As he spoke, his throat rolled a few times again, in fact, he wanted to eat it himself.
"Chenghui, one out of ten. Xiao Tianming quoted.
"What, ten wen one, why don't you go and grab the money?" Zhao Ruozhu suddenly felt that Xiao Tianming was deliberately cheating him, but he had said before that he wanted to buy a few, and he could only bear the pain.
Zhao Ruozhu is a child of the village chief's family, and he has a purse containing money, which contains as much as thirty or forty coins, and the sharp-eyed Xiao Tianming also saw a small silver bill.
He counted out thirty cents and said bitterly, "Take three." ”
Obviously, he was planning to have one with his cousin, which made Xiao Tianming difficult, there were only two on his side, but when he turned his head and saw the strange man behind him, he suddenly had an idea.
He ran up to the stranger with a puff of smoke, stretched out his hand, and said, "Give me a fruit." ”
The weirdo doesn't speak, and he doesn't move.
Xiao Tianming had already expected it, so he continued: "The fruit can't be eaten as food, so I sold it to buy rice and meat to eat." ”
This worked, the strange man handed over one of the fruits he was holding in his arms to Xiao Tianming, and he took it and handed it to Zhao Ruozhu with the two in his hand.
Zhao Ruozhu was suddenly a little unhappy: "That guy is dirty ......" was interrupted by Xiao Tianming only halfway through speaking.
"Anyway, I peeled the skin and ate it, and I didn't tighten it. ”
The strange man's clothes were too tattered and his hair was disheveled, and he looked very dirty, but if you looked closely at the strange man, you would find that his hands and exposed skin were not very dirty.
Xiao Tianming handed back two pennies to Zhao Ruozhu: "The first time you buy it, it's cheaper for you two pennies." ”
Zhao Ruozhu was very disdainful, and bought it for the first time, do you think I will continue to buy it? But after eating the fruit in his hand, he found that he really had to continue to buy.
"Tianming, sell me some more. Zhao Ruozhu was obviously addicted, "My cousin and his junior brother haven't eaten it yet." ”
The strong young man and Zhao Ruomu suddenly felt that they were so wronged, obviously you haven't eaten it yourself, why did you pull us into the water? But the fruit is really delicious, since someone has a treat, they won't demolish him.
Xiao Tianming was immediately happy, he walked to the strange man's side again, this time it was very smooth, he didn't say anything and was about to get three fruits, obviously the strange man could understand what Zhao Ruozhu said.
Zhao Ruozhu's copper money was not enough, so he had to borrow some from Zhao Ruomu and return it to him when he got home.
"Tianming, where did you pick this fruit?" After paying the money, Zhao Ruozhu began to inquire about the news, he grew up in Lingyun Village since he was a child, but he didn't know that there was such a specialty here.
Xiao Tianming didn't mean to keep it secret, and said honestly: "I picked it up over there in Lingyun Mountain." ”
He smiled and continued, "Why, you still want to pick them, there are so many beasts over there, you dare to go over there?"
It's not that he looks down on Zhao Ruozhu, just with his ability, if he really goes to the two fruit trees to pick the fruit, he is afraid that he will be picked by the lynx.
Being so underestimated by Xiao Tianming suddenly made Zhao Ruozhu's boss unhappy, Zhao Ruozhu said angrily: "Hmph, in a few days, the second uncle will take us up the mountain, and when the time comes, what is it to pick a few fruits, it is the hundred-year-old ginseng, and the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum can also be picked back!"
