Chapter 19 Silver Notes
Qingyan also knew that he had made a mistake and smiled awkwardly: "Brother Xiao Jing, I'm going to tell you that I'm so old and I've gone far away for the first time. I've never seen the outside world at all, so let alone Zhanlu Temple on Putuo Mountain, I haven't even been to the states you mentioned. I'm really ashamed."
Wang Xiaojing didn't care, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just a joke. I'm not satisfied with Brother Qingyan. It's the first time we left our hometown to go out for a walk, so we understand your mood very well." After a pause, he said, "Brother Qingyan hasn't finished speaking yet. If you have any questions, it's okay, I will definitely tell you everything."
When Qingyan heard that the other party was traveling far away like himself, he couldn't help but get closer and asked, "Brother Xiao Jing, I can always hear the name of Zhanlu Temple in Putuo Mountain in my hometown. I have been fascinated by it for a long time. This time I left my hometown to visit Zhanlu Temple and see this wish. What's ashamed is that I only know that Zhanlu Temple is by the sea, but I don't know where the specific location is. Alas..."
Of course, Wang Xiaojing didn't know that this was a small lie disguised by Qingyan, so he didn't care and replied: "Puo Mountain is indeed on the beach, and in Wujun, the most eastern part of Yangzhou, it is not close to this place. If there are no horses, it will take at least fifteen days."
Dong Tie kept observing his sister while they were talking. After finding that Ah Dai was not as cruel as he imagined, he slowly felt relieved. Later, he heard that Qingyan was about to go to Putuo Mountain and interrupted, "Brother Qingyan, are you going to Zhanlu Temple on Putuo Mountain? It's a coincidence. Although the destinations are different, we are also heading east. Why don't we go together and take care of us along the way, do you think?"
Qingyan hesitated a little. Although he had confirmed that these people were not malicious, the future was uncertain and he might be intercepted at any time. If he was involved, it would be unforgivable. So he refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but..."
Suddenly, a breeze blew on her face. Dong Yu had already stood very close to Qingyan. She leaned forward and raised her head slightly. Her beautiful big eyes stared at Qingyan's face, and hugged Ah Dai with her arms, as if she was saying that if this girl didn't get a satisfactory answer, then you were done.
Looking at Dong Yu's eyes like midsummer stars, Qing Yan somehow couldn't say anything to refuse, but just stared at Dong Yu gradually became trance.
The two looked at each other for a long time, but no one said anything. Wang Xiaojing saw this and said, "Oh, Brother Qingyan, I just heard from Brother Dong that you gave him a palm, and almost made him unable to stand up? Haha, then your kung fu must be good. I know that his horizontal kung fu, although it is not said that he is at the peak, it is also a little successful after practicing hard for more than ten years. Since we have the same journey, it is better for us to follow Brother Dong's advice and have a look along the way. I think it's a pleasure."
"That's right, I'll tell you that Wang Xiaojing, Brother Qingyan's palm, tsk, that's really strong. My way is to open and close. The strength of his palm is even more domineering than mine. If someone is weaker, he will definitely be beaten to death." Dong Tie did not hide his failure like ordinary people, but praised his former opponents. This is the only point that most people in the world are beyond the reach of.
Dong Yu still didn't say anything, staring at Qingyan with his eyes tightly, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
“Uh…uh…”
Seeing that Ah Dai also screamed in a yearning manner, Qing Yan sighed softly and said, "Okay, since you have thanked you for not abandoning me, Qing Yan has been bothering you all these days."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Dong Yu was satisfied. He snorted lightly and walked to the side and continued to play with Ah Dai. Dong Tie even hugged Qingyan's shoulder and laughed: "Okay, Brother Qingyan, with you, we will be even more interesting along the way, hahahahaha..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Five days later, at noon, the sun shone brightly, and on a green hill, the four Qingyans lay on the word "big", looking weakly at the sky above their heads. Everyone was not talking for a long time, just watching the clouds floating above their heads changing shapes.
"Wang Xiaojing, do you really have no money?"
"You have asked so many times. I will reiterate it for the last time. Before the three of us met the Qingyan brothers, the money was already spent by Dong Yu. Otherwise, would we go to the field to steal sweet potatoes that night and meet the Qingyan brothers?"
"I don't believe it. With your personality, you will never let yourself end up in the end. I'm saying, where is the money hidden?"
"I said to Brother Dong, if it were just us, I would definitely not have reached this point as you said, but have you forgotten your good sister? She had stole the last silver I had hidden in my boots while I was asleep that night, and I was helpless now."
"Nonsense, my sister wanted to brush your boots. Who knew that you hid the silver there? My sister was unintentional."
"Brother Dong, forget it. With Dong Yu's personality, she won't even touch her father's boots. Can you kindly brush my boots? Besides, did you not chew the two roast gooses she bought with the last money? Poor my last possession, I didn't even see the roast goose feathers I bought, and the sky has no eyes..."
Qingyan listened to Wang Xiaojing and Dong Yu’s weak argument, then turned his head to look at the culprit Dong Yu beside her. She was so hungry that she was touching her flat belly weakly, and Ah Dai on her chest was up and down with her breathing.
Feeling Qingyan's gaze, perhaps because someone exposed her true feelings, Dong Yu turned her head and dodged Qingyan's gaze.
Looking back at the beautiful clouds in the sky, Qingyan said weakly and weakly: "I still have some money."
.........
The wind seemed to stop in an instant.
The clouds seemed to condense for a moment.
The world seemed to be still with the words of Qingyan.
After a brief silence, Qingyan suddenly felt thrown high and didn't understand what was going on for a while. When he came to his senses, he found that the other three people had some strength from nowhere and threw Qingyan up and down in the air. Ah Dai was not idle either. He raised his claws and jumped around the circle, which was very happy.
I don’t know where these people got the strength. They haven’t eaten for almost two days and two nights, and they can throw themselves so high. Could it be a rebirth?
When several people put Qingyan down, they all stared at Qingyan with an evil smile on their faces, which was so terrifying that it would be.
Qingyan was a little furious when he was seen, and then he whispered: "I don't have too many, only a fifty taels of silver bill. I thought I would tell you when I met a town..."
Before he could finish speaking, Dong Tie burst out and shouted: "What? You have 55550 taels!"
Wang Xiaojing also murmured a little foolishly: "Big, big family..."
Dong Yu said obviously much more than the two of them. She stretched out her fingers and muttered: "Save some flowers, you should be able to buy a lot of things, buy clothes for five taels, buy shoes for five taels, buy rouge for five taels, buy headdress for five taels, open an inn, and eat for ten taels..."
Looking at the three of them who were already in a terrible way, Qing Yan didn't dare to say anything more. He reached out and took out the wrinkled silver note and handed it to Wang Xiaojing, and said, "Brother Xiaojing, I know you are cautious in doing things. There will never be a second time after being cheated once, so I will give this silver note to you. I'm relieved, and I will give it to you all the right to distribute it."
Hearing this, Dong Tie beat his feet and stamped his chest and roared to the sky with pain: "Why! God! I don't understand, why is this!!"
Dong Yu even gave Qingyan a fierce look, snorted heavily, then hugged Ah Dai and grabbed the green grass on the ground, as if he had some deep hatred with these green grasses.
Wang Xiaojing's eyes were already moved and tears were filled with tears. He took the silver bill with his hands trembling, and his expression was very excited: "Brother Qingyan, you trust me so much, I, I promise that you will never let this silver bill fall into the devil's claws again!"
Two hours later, in a small county town, Qingyan and the other four were in a good mood when they looked at the lively crowds on both sides of the street. But these were based on Qingyan's silver note. If the few people were penniless, I believe their mood was very different.
After exchanged the cash currency, Wang Xiaojing stopped in front of an inn and said, "Changhe County is not big, there are only four or five inns. According to my observation, although this inn is the largest, it has a constant flow of customers. It should be a good store with good quality and low prices, and there will be no mistakes."
Of course, the other three people had no objections. They all nodded at Wang Xiaojing, and then entered the inn together.
The shopkeeper saw a customer entering the store, and was about to come forward to greet him, but when he saw the other party's outfit, he felt cold and said, "This store..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Xiaojing slapped a silver ingot on the counter and said, "Shopkeeper, four rooms."
When he saw the silver, the shopkeeper would not say harsh words anymore. He quickly smiled and said, "Okay, okay, a few guests, let's ask upstairs. Please give me any instructions if you need it."
Wang Xiaojing thought for a while, took out another ingot of silver and said, "First give each of us a bucket of bath water, and then ask your shop's shop to buy each of us a piece of clothing. Listen, the girl next to me has a weird personality, so it must be a woman to buy it. Do you understand?"
The shopkeeper looked at Dong Yu and thought to himself, why is this girl so sloppy? If you don’t say it clearly, you can’t tell that she is a girl. But he said, “Don’t worry, please don’t worry, I will let my family go there in a while. It just so happens that she has a good relationship with the most famous silk shop in our county. The clothes there are of high quality, you will definitely be satisfied.”
Wang Xiaojing nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll trouble the shopkeeper. We'll come down on time in an hour and serve your store with delicious food and drinks." After that, he walked upstairs first.
Qingyan saw Wang Xiaojing and the shopkeeper's words and deeds. Although Wang Xiaojing tried his best to hide, Qingyan still discovered the majesty in his tone that was deeply rooted in his tone. This was definitely not something that could be cultivated by a small family, but was influenced by aristocratic families all year round and could not be imitated.
Looking back at the skills of Dong Tie and his sister that night, I really don’t understand why the three of them fell to the point where they couldn’t afford to eat.
It seems that the secrets of these three people will be as lacking as they are.
