Chapter 272: Compensation
Liu Zhenzhen and Hongxian bought two rice cakes, and saw a tea shed on the side of the road, and they both happened to be thirsty. Liu Zhenzhen pulled the red line, "Sister, let's go have some tea." ”
Red Line nodded in agreement, and the two walked into the tea shed. Dr. Cha, a woman in her forties, greeted with a smile, "Two girls, have tea?"
Liu Zhenzhen didn't answer, and complained to the red line stupidly: "Wherever you go, someone recognizes the two of us as girls, and we obviously pretend to be." ”
Hongxian glanced at Liu Zhenzhen's face, and echoed: "Yes, Sister Zhenzhen, I also think it's quite strange, let's depict it like this, the face is so dark, how can it still be recognized." ”
Dr. Nacha replied with a smile: "The two girls are so good-looking, how can this makeup cover up the past? ”
Liu Zhenzhen said: "What is it like to walk, what are we walking like, where is it not like?"
Dr. Nacha took the trouble to answer her, and even learned it for them, "Most men walk like this, taking figure-eight steps, and the two girls walk like this, which is much better-looking, so you don't need to look at your face, as long as you see the posture of walking, you will recognize it." ”
Liu Zhenzhen paid special attention to it, kept this in her heart, and thought to herself: It seems that you should be more careful when walking in the future. Otherwise, when you enter the examination room, you don't have to wait for a body search to be recognized.
The two picked up a table and sat down, and Dr. Tea served a pot of tea for the two of them, and took two tea bowls, and specially washed them a few more times, and then sent them clean.
Liu Zhenzhen today is the first time in her life that she has earned money by her own skills, and the joy has not passed. He gave Dr. Nacha a penny.
Dr. Tea was very happy, and hurriedly said, "I have freshly picked dates here, they are very sweet, and I will give them to the two girls to taste." ”
Without waiting for Liu Zhenzhen to agree, he took out a large bowl, took out a bowl full of dates from a wooden barrel containing dates, and sent it to Liu Zhenzhen and the red line table. The jujube is huge, it has just been washed, and there are still water droplets hanging on the jujube, which looks indescribably attractive.
Red Line hurriedly picked up one. said: "I taste whether it is sweet or not. ”
Dr. Nacha replied with a smile. "Sweet, Bao Tian, this is a home-grown date, very sweet. "Sit down behind the tea stall. He turned his head to speak to the two women.
The two daughters did not answer her. Drinking tea by himself. Eating the dates given by Dr. Tea.
But the sound of wheels could be heard, and a carriage passed by the teahouse, and the two women sat facing the road. See clearly. The driver looked like an old man, but he had a large hat on his head, which hid his face so that he could not see what he looked like.
Hongxian glanced at the man more, and couldn't help but sigh softly, looking surprised.
When Dr. Nacha saw it, he hurriedly greeted, "Guests who have come from afar, stop and drink a pot of tea before leaving." ”
The man who drove the car turned back to the car and asked, "Miss Caidie, are you thirsty?" Listening to his voice, it was indeed an old man.
A woman's voice in the carriage said, "A little, have you arrived at the Eternal Life Academy?"
The old man replied, "Not yet." Then he turned to Dr. Tea, "Give us two bowls of tea." ”
Dr. Cha's face was full of smiles, "Two guests, come in and drink, I still have dates here, stay for tea, and I'll give you a few dates to eat." ”
The old man said, "No need. He wore a hat and covered his face, unable to see any expression, but shook his head.
Dr. Tea didn't persuade much, so he poured two bowls of tea and sent them over. The old man took it and said to the carriage: "Butterfly girl, the tea is here, drink it and walk." ”
"It's good. The woman in the carriage answered, and then the curtain opened, and a hand came out. The hand was white and delicate, and the nails were coated with impatiens flower juice, which was obviously a woman's hand.
The old man handed over a bowl of tea, and the woman reached out to take it, and then retracted into the carriage, and did not show up from beginning to end.
The old man picked up another bowl of tea, sat down on the chariot and drank it, drank it in an instant, and returned the bowl to Dr. Tea. After a while, the woman also drank the tea, handed out the tea bowl, and still did not show up from beginning to end.
The old man took the tea bowl from the woman, returned it to the tea doctor again, and asked, "How much?"
Dr. Nacha smiled: "One penny and one bowl, a total of two pennies." ”
The old man nodded, reached into his bosom and touched it, touched a purse, and poured it into the palm of his hand, but only a penny was left in the purse, which fell into the palm of his hand.
The old man held a penny, turned back to the car and asked, "Miss Caidie, do you still have any money on you?"
The woman in the car said, "Wait a minute, I'll look for it." ”
Then came the sound of Suo Suo rummaging through the carriage, and after a while, the woman's voice was heard: "Oh! I have no money on me, but I have a hairpin here, which should be worth a lot of money, and you can exchange it for some money." ”
The old man said, "How good is that, how can you exchange the girl's jewelry for money." ”
The woman said: "What is it worth, as long as this thing is done, what is a hairpin?"
As she spoke, the curtain was lifted again, and the woman stretched out her hand again, this time with a crested hairpin in her hand.
The old man hesitated for a moment before taking the hairpin and handing it to Dr. Cha, "Excuse me, how much do you think this hairpin is worth?"
Dr. Tea glanced at the hairpin, and saw that it was made of sterling silver, so he didn't reach out to take it, and hurriedly said, "This is silver, it's too valuable, I can't find it." ”
The old man said, "We only have a penny left on us, otherwise, can you hold off for a while, and I'll send it to you later?"
Dr. Nacha hesitated a little, and Liu Zhenzhen suddenly answered: "It's just two cents, what is worth it, it's good to count it in my account." ”
The old man was stunned, turned his head to look at Liu Zhenzhen, and hurriedly thanked him, "Xie Lu, thank you, girl." ”
The red line kept glancing at Liu Zhenzhen, Liu Zhenzhen didn't understand what she meant, and responded: "When you go out, who doesn't have a problem, you don't have to thank me." ”
The old man still thanked him, and then asked Dr. Nacha, "Madam, dare to ask the Immortal Academy in which direction?
Yoo Jung-jeong and Red Line heard him ask about the Immortal Academy. Listen attentively.
"Are you going to the Immortal Academy?" Dr. Tea asked in surprise, and then pointed forward, "Go through this road, go forward again, come to the end and turn to the right, then keep walking, come to a forest and turn again, and when you get there, you can find someone to ask." ”
The old man thanked him again and gestured to Liu Zhenzhen again. And he drove the carriage. Walked forward.
Liu Zhenzhen waited for the carriage to go away and said with a smile: "They also went to the Eternal Life Academy." ”
Red Line looked strange, looked at the carriage in the distance, but did not answer for a while.
Liu Zhenzhen then asked, "Sister." You just glared at me for something. ”
"Sister. They ...... "the red line is about to be explained." Suddenly, I heard the sound of wheels again, so I had to stop and look around.
But I saw another carriage stop in front of the tea shed. The driver was a young woman with a flower handkerchief wrapped around her head, her complexion was beautiful, and her snow-white skin was even more eye-catching.
The young woman was evidently unskilled in driving, and pulled the reins several times before the horse stopped. The young woman then turned her head, and when she saw Hongxian and Liu Zhenzhen, she didn't care, and said to Dr. Tea, "Excuse me, please give us two bowls of tea." "The voice is nice and the tone is very polite.
Dr. Tea greeted with a smile: "Madam, the journey is hard, why don't you come in and sit down and drink slowly, I have freshly picked dates here, and I will give you two to send tea." ”
"No need. The young woman shook her head and said again, "You give me two bowls of tea." ”
Dr. Tea had no choice but to pour two bowls of tea and send them over, the young woman took one bowl first, turned her head to the carriage and said, "Xianggong, drink tea." ”
A man's voice in the carriage said, "Thank you, lady." The curtain opened, and then a hand reached out from the carriage, took the tea bowl, and retracted it again.
When Red Line heard the man's voice, he was already surprised, and when he reached out to take the tea bowl, the expression on his face became even more strange.
The young woman waited for the man to take the tea bowl, and then took another bowl of tea from the tea doctor and drank it. After the two finished drinking the tea, the man handed the bowl out, and the young woman took it, returned it to the tea doctor, and asked, "How much?"
Dr. Nacha said, "Two cents." ”
The young woman took out two cents from her purse, gave them to Dr. Cha, and then said, "Excuse me, let me ask you, where is the old mansion of Li Ge?"
Dr. Tea said curiously: "Guest, are you a relative of Elder Li Ge?"
The young woman shook her head and said with a smile: "See you laughing, Li Ge Lao's relatives, how can we climb high." It's my father-in-law who has a sister who works as a maid in the old mansion, and I haven't seen her for many years, so I came to see her. ”
Dr. Tea nodded, then pointed forward, "You go past this road, turn left, keep walking forward, see a bell and drum tower, and ask others." ”
The young woman thanked her and drove away in the carriage.
Red Line waited for her to leave, muttering, "Strange, strange." ”
When Liu Zhenzhen heard this, she asked, "Sister, what's strange? By the way, why did you want to look at me just now?"
Hongxian glanced at Dr. Cha, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Sister, the old man who passed before and the woman in the car are not people, and besides, the carriage just now ......"
Liu Zhenzhen was shocked when she heard this, and without waiting for her to finish, she said, "What? They are not people?"
Hongxian hurriedly reminded: "Sister, be quiet, you will be heard." ”
Liu Zhenzhen thought about it for a while, carefully recalled the appearance of the old man and the young woman, didn't notice anything special, hurriedly lowered her voice, and said strangely: "Sister, how can you see it? You said that they are not people, I don't think so." ”
Hongxian shook her head and said, "Sister, I don't see it, I feel it." You haven't learned spells, so you can't feel it. The breath of people and non-people is different, our Tianshan Yutai has a kind of qi looking technique, which can distinguish this kind of breath, I felt it just now, they are not people. ”
Liu Zhenzhen didn't seem to understand when she heard it, and said suspiciously: "They are not people, what is that?"
Red Line shook her head, "I don't know." The old man and the woman before were not, and the woman after that was, but the man was not. ”
Liu Zhenzhen asked again: "It's too bad now, that old man just now said that he was going to the Eternal Life Academy, don't be unfavorable to us." ”
"Sister. Hongxian hurriedly reminded her, "Those who go to the Eternal Life Academy may not have anything to do with us, besides, there are many people in the Eternal Life Academy." In my opinion, there are many masters in the Eternal Life Academy, and these two people went to the Eternal Life Academy. I'm afraid I'm going to be unlucky. ”
Liu Zhenzhen nodded, she heard that the other party was not human, so she instinctively became afraid, and when she heard that there was no threat to herself, she put her mind at ease. Then he said: "Since it has nothing to do with us, then there is no need to meddle in things. ”
Red Line answered, deeply convinced.
After the two finished their tea, they came out of the tea shed, and were about to return to the ring, when they suddenly heard a loud shout from behind them, "Girl." Two girls. Please wait, please wait. ”
The two of them heard this voice a little familiar, and they stopped in unison and looked back. But I saw a man running over panting. It was Xiao Jiu who had bought Jinchuang Medicine from Liu Zhenzhen before. Shouted from afar.
That Xiao Jiu quickened his pace, and soon caught up, panting heavily. He said, "Two girls, I have found you." "He looked delighted.
As soon as Liu Zhenzhen saw him, she became angry, her Jinchuang medicine was sold at a loss at this person, she was unhappy, and said coldly: "What's the matter with you?"
That Xiao Jiu didn't care about her ugly face, and said with a smile: "Girl, do you still have your Jinchuang medicine?" I want to buy some more, as many as I want." ”
Liu Zhenzhen rejected him and said disdainfully: "Don't even think about it, I still want to buy my gold creation medicine for five dollars, let's dream." ”
Xiao Jiu hurriedly said: "Girl, the price is negotiable, your medicine is indeed good, I already know the way." In this way, this time I will give one or two pieces of silver, do you think it will be successful?"
Before Liu Zhenzhen could answer, Hongxian snorted, "You still want to deceive us? Hmph! We just sold it for ten taels of silver." ”
That Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then saw the ring in front of him, and quickly reacted, and then said: "Is it mine, girl, can I buy yours for ten taels of silver each?"
The gold creation medicine he bought from Liu Zhenzhen was sold in another ring for fifteen taels and one piece, and he still had to make money for ten taels and one piece.
Liu Zhenzhen shook her head and said firmly: "You lied to me just now, I don't do your business." ”
That Xiao Jiu was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Girl, who are you selling to?
Liu Zhenzhen snorted and said disdainfully: "Isn't it a loss? Hmph, am I so rare? Anyway, I just don't do your business." Saying that, he pulled the red line, "Sister, let's go." ”
Hongxian echoed: "Yes, sister, don't do his business, let's go." ”
The two women turned and walked forward.
That Xiao Jiu walked a few steps quickly, rushed to the front of the two, and continued: "Two girls, please listen to me." ”
Liu Zhenzhen glanced at him and said unhappily, "What are you doing?"
Red Line scolded: "Get out of the way, if you don't get out of the way, I'm going to be rude to you." ”
That Xiao Jiu accompanied the smiling face, and said patiently: "Girl, when I bought it just now, it was indeed cheaper." But at that time, I didn't know if the value of the drug was the same? Besides, wasn't the price of the drug agreed to by the girl?"
Liu Zhenzhen heard that he had the meaning of shirking responsibility on herself, and she became more and more displeased, and said angrily: "I agreed, so what? Now I won't sell it to you, this girl said that she won't sell it to you, but she won't sell it to you." Then he said viciously: "Go away for me, if I don't go away, I'll really be rude to you." Turning to the red line, "Sister, if he doesn't get out of the way, you will hit him." ”
Red Line threatened: "Hey, my sister said, let you go away, if you don't go away, I'm really welcome." As he spoke, he took out the short sword and shook it in front of Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu was helpless, let him leave, he was really reluctant to bring the big profits brought by the drug, he was not a rich man, otherwise he would not have learned art in such a small martial arts hall.
But seeing that Liu Zhenzhen said firmly, after thinking about it, he discussed: "Girl, do you think this will work? Just now I bought twenty pills from you, each medicine is five yuan, a total of ten taels." The girl's initial asking price was one tael a piece, a total of twenty taels. For each medicine, I will make up five dollars for the girl, and give you ten taels to make amends. Girl, let's get rid of your anger and sell me some more medicine?"
Before Liu Zhenzhen could answer, the red line shouted: "We are here, one drug is sold for ten taels, you deceived us of twenty drugs, only give ten taels, and say that it is to make amends, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"
Liu Zhenzhen listened to the words of the red line, her heart moved, and she said: "My sister is right, if you want to make amends, give me ten taels of silver each, otherwise don't talk about anything." ”
When Xiao Jiu heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate for a while, in his opinion, it was Liu Zhenzhen herself who asked for a price of one or two, and it was his own ability to sell at a high price, and it was already very interesting to compensate according to one or two pieces. But now it is a seller's market, there are players in the ring, and the other party has medicine in their hands, so they don't have to worry about not being able to sell it. If the other party takes the medicine and refuses to sell it to himself, the business will not be done. Although he relied on the capital of ten taels of silver to sell twenty-one medicines, he had already made a net profit of three hundred and fifty taels.
But it's all dead, and if this business can't be done, it's only three hundred and fifty taels. climbed into this business, but did not worry about not being able to make a fortune.
His mind was still quite clear, and in a moment, he had already figured out the joints, and gritted his teeth at the moment, "Okay, according to what the two girls said, I will compensate for ten taels of silver." But after the compensation, the girl wants to sell me some more medicine. ”
Liu Zhenzhen didn't accept him at all, and said coldly: "It's up to you whether to compensate or not, and it's up to me whether to sell drugs or not." Whether you want to make amends, that's your own business. The girl hates it when people negotiate terms with me, and you can choose not to pay. ”
That Xiao Jiu was helpless, and said with a smiling face: "Yes, yes, what the girl said is that it is all the fault of the villain, I will compensate the girl first." Last time, the girl gave me one, even if it was bought for ten taels. There are twenty pieces left, and I will pay the girl another two hundred taels. ”
Liu Zhenzhen was satisfied, and snorted, "Forget it, bring it." ”
That Xiao Jiu took out a money tie-up from his shoulder, and was about to withdraw the money, when he suddenly remembered something, glanced around, and discussed: "Girl, there are so many people here, and I am afraid that it will not be convenient to take out so much money at once, so let's change places." ”
Liu Zhenzhen saw that his money was quite heavy, and thought: Two hundred taels of silver is indeed too heavy, and it is not easy for me and my sister to take it. He said: "It's okay, let's go to the money bank, and by the way, exchange it for a silver ticket." (To be continued......)
