Became Queen from Douluo

Chapter 343 The search that came to an abrupt end

"I remember that I was about to starve to death at that time. I risked my life to go out of the city and found a river to catch fish there. Suddenly, I saw a bamboo basket floating down from the upper reaches."

"I picked it up and took a look. It was a child inside. I don't want to raise it. After all, I can't support myself anymore. How can I support offspring?"

"But after I found out that it was a girl, I changed my mind. At that time, the security of Wuhun City was not as good as it is now. Some romantic places would pay to buy some baby girls who were brainwashed and raised from an early age. I kept her and planned to exchange for some money. "

"At that time, there was a jade pendant of good quality in her bosom, with the word Menglan written on it. I saw that the name sounded good, and my surname was Qin, so I named the child Qin Menglan. Otherwise, with my level, where would I be?" What nice name can you come up with?"

"I didn't think too much about it, I just thought that the name would be nice, and it would be easier to sell when it was sold."

Qin Shouyi narrated slowly, but suddenly felt that he had talked too much, and quickly looked at Leng Xiyao's face.

"Where is that jade pendant? It should be worth some money, right? You didn't sell it?" Leng Xiyao also knew what kind of virtue this dog was, but she didn't pursue it. No matter what her intentions were, he was indeed the one who saved the person. It's been more than ten years, and it's meaningless to pursue it any further.

"It's sold, of course it's sold." As if thinking of something, a trace of resentment appeared on Qin Shouyi's face: "The boss is also an unreasonable person. At that time, Wuhun City was extremely chaotic. How could such a good quality jade pendant be sold?" Only sold two silver coins, two silver coins!"

Two silver coins, more or less, although buying such a fine jade pendant is similar to Ming Qiang, but it is equivalent to the living expenses of ordinary people saving for a few months. With Qin Shouyi's knowledge at the time, two silver coins It is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for him, and it is quite normal to sell it directly.

"Is the pawn shop where you sell things still there?" Leng Xiyao asked.

"Yes, still, are you going to redeem it?" Qin Shouyi nodded repeatedly, and said in an extremely flattering tone.

This time he has come to his senses, since the other party has no intention of killing him, if he has a little relationship, it is estimated that he will have nothing to worry about in the future.
"Lead the way."

Qin Shouyi didn't dare to neglect, and led Leng Xiyao a few hundred meters to the door of a small shop.

This pawn shop has a small appearance and looks a little dark. The overall style is a bit like the black shop opened by Flanders.

In the store, an old man who looks to be in his 70s is lying on a rocking chair, reading an unknown ancient book. Besides, there are a few girls cleaning the house. It looks like a normal store. It can only be said that it is not very clean.

Seeing someone push the door open, the old man looked at Leng Xiyao, a smile appeared on his old face, and he got up to greet him: "Since just now, the old man has a premonition that a distinguished guest is coming, so I specially let them After cleaning it, I didn't expect it to be Miss Leng's visit?"

"You know me?" Leng Xiyao was quite puzzled, Wuhundian was eager to cover up what happened a few days ago, wouldn't even a pawn shop owner know about it?

"The old man used to work in Leng's house as a handyman. Although he is retired now, he still has some connections. Naturally, I don't know about such a big movement." The old man explained with a smile, and then changed his voice and asked: "I don't know what Miss Leng came to my shop, but what did she like?"

"It's like this. I have a very good friend. Her parents left her a jade pendant as a token, and he picked it up and sold it. If you still keep it, I will be very grateful." Leng Xiyao said .

For this matter, she actually didn't report too much expectation. It has been more than ten years, and the other party has probably sold it long ago.

But no matter what, in order to make Lan Lan feel at ease, she has to keep working hard along this line, doesn't she?

The old man fell into deep thought, then turned around, searched for a while among the rows of lockers, and then took out a jade pendant from it.

"Look, is it this one?"

Leng Xiyao took it and played with it for a while. Although she didn't know much about jade, she could feel that the texture was definitely not like those common things on the market. The word Menglan was engraved on it. It looks like it came from the hands of calligraphers and painters.

Ordinary families would definitely not be able to make this kind of jade pendant, and at the very least, it was a family with Contra in charge.

Leng Xiyao glanced at Qin Shouyi, who nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, this is it!"

Although the relics of Qin Menglan's parents were found, Leng Xiyao frowned.

First of all, this kind of family will never abandon their offspring, even if it is a family that favors sons over daughters, it can only show that they had to abandon them because of some major changes that year.

The second is the difficulty of finding. There are countless families above Contra. If they appear in this Wuhun City, it means that they may come from all over the world.

The most important thing is that there are no surnames, and the scope cannot be narrowed down. If you know the surname of the Lanlan family, it is basically not difficult to find it, but now
Immediately unable to think of the result, Leng Xiyao simply gave up thinking about it, and turned to look at the old man gratefully: "Thank you very much, old man, I wonder how much it will cost to redeem it?"

The old man waved his hand, "Miss Leng don't want to humiliate me, this jade pendant was only collected for two silver coins back then, and I only thought that this guy is not a good person, so I lowered the price so much Low, it's not a black merchant, you just want to take it away."

"But."

Leng Xiyao was about to say something more, but the old man interrupted: "Even if you add more than a dozen years of storage fees, it's only a dozen or twenty gold coins, Miss Leng, don't waste your time with me for such a small amount of money." .”

Speaking of this, Leng Xiyao didn't want to say anything more. After thinking for a while, she took out an unattractive-looking ninth-level elixir from the storage soul guide and put it on the ground, then pulled Qin Shouyi away up.

It is never money that measures the value of an item, but the meaning it produces. There are many ninth-level elixir in her possession, and it is not even worth mentioning, but for the old man with the strength of Contra, it is definitely a huge sum wealth.

Similarly, this jade pendant is just a piece of jade that can be sold for money to others, but to her it is the only thing left by Lan Lan's parents, even if it costs millions of gold soul coins, she has to get it back. A ninth-level elixir as a thank you is also a matter of course.

After leaving the door, Qin Shouyi looked at Leng Xiyao and rubbed his hands: "Miss Leng, what do you think?"

People are always greedy, even though Leng Xiyao has helped him repay the [-] gold soul coins owed, but he still wants to ask for more from the other party.

Leng Xiyao glanced at him, without further ado, and threw [-] gold soul coins over.

Ten thousand gold soul coins, no matter how extravagant they are, are enough for him to spend a few years. Of course, if the other party continues to gamble, they may be gone in a few days or months.

Leng Xiyao didn't bother to correct him, but at that time, he and Lan Lan probably had already left Wuhun City, and by then, all the bad consequences could only be borne by him.
