Chapter 54: Crazy Sale
Li Qin'er waited quietly outside the maid hall, recalling the experience of the past few days, and couldn't help but feel an unreal feeling in her heart.
Her father was a gambler, and lost her to the Black Dragon Society as a bet, and then was forced by the Black Dragon Society to go to Qunfang Pavilion as a prostitute, and then, the strange son in the house came to the rescue, and she volunteered to come to Haiyue City for the maid.
Stopping on this strange street, Chu Yun was not beside her, and a feeling of loneliness arose inexplicably in her heart.
In the dim light, unfamiliar faces walked in front of her silently from far and near.
Gradually, these faces seemed to become familiar faces, one after another, and involuntarily poured into her mind. There is not only the remorse of his father's death, but also the disgust of relatives and friends when they bury their father, and the fierceness of the Gu brothers of the Black Dragon Society, as well as the lewd smiles of many men looking at them
Li Qin'er's body was cold and hot at first, as if she had fallen into a nightmare, the fear in her heart became worse, and she wanted to roar, but there was a heavy pressure in her heart, so that she couldn't roar even with all her strength, and her thin shoulders shook involuntarily.
At the height of the panic.
"I'm back!"
A familiar voice came from behind itself.
The plain words instantly dispelled the haze in Li Qin'er's heart, she suddenly came back to her senses, and even her steps became brisk, and she followed Chu Yun all the way back to the inn.
In the early morning of the second day, Chu Yun withdrew from the guest room and took Li Qin'er to the yamen, and according to the description of the owner of the maid hall yesterday, he easily found the tea house.
The tea house is located in a house five hundred meters west of the yamen, the eighth room from east to west, the left is a ready-to-wear store, and the right is a department store, Chu Yun observed it carefully, and the owners of the other two shops are also simple old men, it is estimated that Qin'er will not be bullied by them.
Pushing open the two wooden doors of the tea house, you can see that the decoration of the shop is very old, and it is obvious that it has been operated for generations.
The owner of the tea house had apparently just moved out, and the air was circulating in the house, and there was not the slightest musty smell. Dozens of tea cans were neatly placed on the counter, and when the lid was lifted, there was actually a small half pot of tea.
The former owner was obviously also a good and attentive person, and actually left a note under each tea can. However, Yu Tang's text Chu Yun knew very little, just these dozen or so words, he actually didn't know half of it, and it was estimated that it was some instructions that introduced the name, taste, purchase price and purchase address of tea.
As the young man at the maid hall said, this teahouse will be open as soon as it is opened.
It seems that Li Qin'er doesn't have to worry about her future vitality, and he is very satisfied. However, when she turned her head, she found that Li Qin'er was looking at herself with consternation, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.
Chu Yun didn't know that his embarrassment of not being able to read and write had fallen into the eyes of the little girl.
Hey, it's a loss of face, there is a slight regret in his heart.
However, after settling Li Qin'er, she will fly away, and she will no longer have the slightest relationship with her, this doubt should be regarded as a mysterious memorial to herself, thinking about it, his heart was suddenly relieved.
The wooden door that opens to the backyard is a small courtyard full of flowers and plants. There is actually a pot of kapok, which is Li Qin'er's favorite flower. Talk about a few green leaves, a red and white flower blooms alone, a trace of fragrance is absent.
The little girl poured some water on the kapok with pity, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy that she couldn't hide.
Seeing Li Qin'er's happy appearance, Chu Yun's mood became unreasonably happy.
The indoor beds and stools are extremely clean, and you only need to buy some bedding to move in.
Qin'er only stayed here for a long time, and couldn't help cheering, and immediately fetched water and sprinkled it.
Chu Yun went out on his own, bought some necessities from the department store next to him, and bought bedding, firewood, rice and other things from the shops on the same street.
When everything was settled, before I knew it, it was already a busy morning.
The two of them each found a room to take a hasty rest, Li Qin'er washed rice and cooked by herself, the little girl was good at the kitchen stove, and the cooking smoke was swirling, and after a while, she ate steaming rice.
The meals are basic, but they feel like home.
Looking at the fine beads of sweat on Qin'er's forehead, as well as the black charcoal ash on his face, Chu Yun lost his mind for a moment, if he lived such a dull life, wouldn't it be a kind of happiness?
Seeing Chu Yun looking at herself in a disgraced manner, Qin'er's cheeks suddenly blushed, and her heart beat uncontrollably. Could it be that Childe likes himself?
After the meal, Chu Yun asked Qin'er to take care of the house, but he left the yamen on his own horse, and after a while, he blended into the rolling crowd.
Qin Er did not have the slightest opinion on his orders.
Childe asked me to see 'home'.
It's nice to feel 'home'!
Chu Yun's trip is a whole day.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, but Childe still didn't come home, and the strange thing was that she was alone in this strange house, looking at the flickering lights, but Qin'er didn't have the slightest fear.
The food on the table had been heated three or four times, and it was the lunch that Qin'er had prepared.
Although she was already hungry, the son did not come back, and the little girl did not have half an appetite.
Since my mother passed away, I don't know how long it has been since I cooked such a sumptuous meal!
Qin'er is very confident in her craft, but if he doesn't come back, how can she act first?
He?Qin'er was flustered for a while, what was wrong with herself, she actually called her son 'he'? However, when she thought of the title of 'he', why did she have a sweet feeling.
As the night deepened, Qin'er suddenly woke up, only to find that she had fallen asleep at the table at some point.
With a movement of his wrist, he felt that he had put on a wide coat on his body, and when he looked up, he just met a pair of dark and gentle eyes.
Chu Yun looked tired, but his eyes were deep and bright, looking at the table full of food, and the little girl's expectant eyes, he smiled, although he had eaten hastily outside, he still made a hungry appearance, and accompanied Li Qin'er to sweep the table full of food.
"Qin'er is really a good craft!" Chu Yun burped and gave Qin'er a thumbs up. But there was an inexplicable pain in my heart, what a kind girl, I would rather be hungry than wait for my return.
Chu Yun is sixteen years old, it is the age of young people who have a lot of feelings, and when he sees the gentle and attached gaze of the little girl, he obviously already has his shadow in his heart. He felt a little proud in his heart, but at this moment, he asked himself, to Qin'er is nothing more than the vanity of the gift of the strong to the weak, and he also has a little bit of fantasy of a young man's ****, but he has no real love.
Qin'er is cute and pitiful, even so, why let her fall deeper and deeper, but she is destined to be unable to stay with her, why not leave as soon as possible, so as not to affect the little girl's future life!
This night, the two were just the opposite of the night before, Li Qin'er cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, lay on the unfamiliar bedside, and quickly fell asleep. After Chu Yun struggled for a while, he found that he couldn't sleep well, and he actually had unprecedented insomnia.
Lying at the head of the bed, his nose was filled with the unique fresh smell of the new bedding, listening to the chirping of insects in the small courtyard, he couldn't sleep, although his body was very tired, and his two calves were also faintly painful, but his mind was unprecedentedly clear.
Thinking back to Li Qin'er's increasing attachment to himself in the past few days, his heart was gloomy, and when he thought about his crazy actions during the day, his heart beat wildly.
The Haiyue Auction is undoubtedly the top auction in Nanhai County. Even if it is the most inferior baby, the starting price is 10,000 silver. Chu Yun was sure that it was impossible to buy any treasures at the meeting for a mere hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and he would undoubtedly become a spectator.
This is the first time in his life to participate in the auction, since there are countless pearls, agate, and night pearls in the Qiankun bag, it is better to exchange them all for silver money, maybe there is really something to gain at this auction.
If you want to buy a real treasure, you must prepare a huge amount of money of more than one million at the very least.
In order to avoid arousing the covetousness of well-intentioned people, Chu Yun decided to keep a low profile, and the things sold in each store would never exceed 50,000 taels of silver. Moreover, he can't make a move near the yamen, lest someone recognize him and bring risks to Qin'er's future life.
So, after dressing up in disguise, Chu Yun rode his horse and left the tea house, so he went around and around like a suspicious formation, and only after making sure that no one was following him did he go straight to the dock.
The sails on the Nancang River are like weaving, and five taels of silver can hire a beetle.
It was a long, narrow boat, less than a foot long, with its bow raised high like a crescent moon. Two finger-thick chains ran through the bow of the ship, but the other end went deep into the water, tied to a dark shadow in the water.
He looked under the water curiously, and saw that the black shadow was about three feet long, and the shape was like a large shuttle, which must be the 61 fish.
The boatman held a finger-thick rope, the other end of which went deep underwater, presumably tied to some part of the beetlefish. When Chu Yun sat down, the boatman shook the rope, and the beetle went against the current like an arrow, and the scenery on both sides retreated like flying, leaving the dock behind him in an instant.
Strangely, despite the astonishing speed of the beetle, it did not feel like a strong wind, and after careful inspection, it was found that the high bow of the ship directed the wind to the sides of the beetle, forming a relatively static space inside the boat. He couldn't help but admire such an ingenious design.
