Chapter 33

After Liu Dali sneaked into the bedroom, he immediately closed the door and walked towards the bed, only to find that there was no one on the bed when he got to the bed!

He groped around on the bed in disbelief, and found it was empty, then lay down under the bed and reached out to feel for it, but there was still nothing, and no one was found in the entire bedroom.

There were not many clothes in the closet, so it couldn't hide people at all.

"What about people?"

Liu Dali hurried to the bed, the window was locked from the inside, so the possibility of people jumping from the window can be almost ruled out.

Suddenly creepy.

The doors and windows were locked from the inside, but the person disappeared...

"Ghost!"

Liu Dali was frightened and ran away.

After the sound completely disappeared, Gu Rao came out of the space, checked the bedroom first, and felt relieved when he found that there was nothing missing.

She sat on the bed, thinking about the man's voice just now, she was a little familiar, but because that voice was so ordinary, she couldn't remember where she heard it for a while.

How dare that man break open the door and come in?
Are you sure no one is home, or...

No, that man knew that there was someone in the family. He probably knew that she was the only woman in the family. He was clearly looking for her just now.

Fortunately, she didn't fall asleep tonight. If she did, she might not even know when that man came in.

Gu Rao frowned, and decided to take some protective measures at home tomorrow. If that man dared to come at night again, he would definitely learn a profound and unforgettable lesson!
-
I didn't sleep well last night, and I didn't get up until the sun was high today. After getting up, I went to the space to mix a vegetable and fruit salad for lunch.

It is clear that she has long been used to walking alone, eating and sleeping alone, but Bie Ye only left for the first day, and she felt a little unaccustomed to it.

Eating alone seems to be enough to deal with it casually.

Anyway, she didn't eat much.

If Bie Ye was at home, she might still be in the mood to cook a few more dishes, eat a little of each, and the rest would go into Bie Ye's stomach.

After thinking about it, Gu Rao realized something was wrong.

She used to live alone, and she lived a delicate life every day. She has never felt like just now that she can deal with it casually by herself!
What happened to yourself?
Gu Rao knocked on his head and poured out the water that got in at some time.

Push open the courtyard wall door.

The bustling streets dispelled Gu Rao's short-lived loneliness, locked the door, and went out alone with a basket.
-
Gu Rao walked into the largest pawn shop in the town, Dang Yuan Ju.

From the rattan basket, he took out a pair of fishtail tassel gold earrings wrapped in an embroidered handkerchief, put them on the high counter, and said crisply, "Shopkeeper, help me see how much this can be worth."

When Gao Caitong saw that it was gold, he became energetic. He took it with both hands and looked at it carefully. He weighed it and knew that it was made of pure gold.

"Dead or alive?"

Gu Rao asked, "How much is dead, how much is alive?"

Gao Cai used a small scale to weigh the weight.

"Just one or two."

"If it's a pawn, I can give you a tael of silver first. After the one-month deadline, if you don't come to redeem it, this pair of earrings belong to the pawnshop."

"If you die, I can give you five taels of silver."

Gu Rao frowned.

"The workmanship of this pair of earrings is very fine, and the workmanship alone costs more than five taels of silver."

Gao Caitong laughed when he heard this.

"That's the price in pawnshops. I'll give you five taels of silver, which is considered high."

"If you don't want it, you can take it for granted. After one month, you can pay back one tael of silver and fifty cash in interest, and the things can be returned to their original owners."

But in my heart, I am sure that this woman will definitely choose to die.

Usually people who come to the pawn shop are people who are in desperate need of money. This woman is dressed plainly, and it can be seen that the life of the family is not going to survive, and she wants to exchange some old jewelry for some money.

If you have no money now, you will have money in a month?
Gu Rao took back the gold earrings.

"I'll go and ask elsewhere."

Gao Caitong looked slightly stiff.

"Our Dangyuanju is the biggest pawn shop in Wild Boar Town. If you don't believe me, just go and inquire about it. Nowhere else can afford our high price."

Gu Rao smiled politely.

"I'm just going to ask."

"If the price offered elsewhere is lower than yours, I will still come back. Your pawn shop is here. After a little delay, you won't grow a pair of legs and run away by yourself."

After speaking, he turned and wanted to leave.

Seeing that the person was really about to leave, Gao Caitong waved his hand, showing that he was earning less money.

"Forget it."

"Your jewelry is indeed exquisitely crafted, and it's a style I haven't seen before. I'll draw a fresh one, and I'll be generous once. I only earn your handwork money. How about ten taels of silver?"

This is true, one tael of gold is only worth ten taels of silver.

Gu Rao sighed, as if he had something to say.

"You may not believe it when you say it."

The corners of Gao Caitong's mouth twitched slightly, if he knew he didn't believe it, don't say it!

Gu Rao didn't care about Gao Caitong's thoughts, and said to himself, "Before my family's fortunes fell, my father was an official. This pair of earrings were made by court craftsmen. They are extremely rare in the market. The cost of handwork is at least ten times the price of gold itself. times."

Gao Caitong, "..."

Ten times, there must be a limit to bragging!

Gu Rao shrank her hand holding the gold earrings, her eyes showed three parts of nostalgia, three parts of guilt and four points of hesitation.

"This pair of gold earrings is a gift from my father. Now that my father is not around, if I treat this as a pawn, when I miss him in the future, I won't even have anything to miss..."

"Am I really going to sell it?"

Gao Caitong, "..."

Not willing to sell you to the pawn shop?

Master, this is a master!

Looking at her indifferent face, I thought she was being taken advantage of, but I didn't expect that this old fox could play tricks better than him, so much so that he almost believed it!

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and he didn't bother to pretend anymore, so he said in a cold tone with a straight face, "Stop talking, 11 taels of silver. If you want to, you can pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. If you don't want to, just go and talk about you and your father. Tell your story and see if they give you an extra penny."

Gu Rao smiled like a flower.

"make a deal!"

"The boss is a straightforward person. If I have any good things to be in the future, I will definitely come to you again."

Gao Caitong took the earrings and gave Gu Rao 11 taels of silver. After signing the death contract in duplicate, he waved his hand at Gu Rao pretending to be impatient.

"Even the gift of Jiji, what good things can you have?"

"Come on."

"No matter how good something is, I'll give you an honest price directly, so that you won't be tired of making up stories, and I'm tired of hearing it."
-
With a huge sum of 11 taels of silver in his pocket, Gu Rao felt at ease, so he went to a lock shop and bought five copper locks, one of which was used to lock the gate of the courtyard, and the rest were kept as spares.

Then I went to the grocery store, blacksmith shop, carpenter shop, and rice grain shop to buy some pots and pans, brooms, baskets, tables, chairs, stools and other furniture.

If you buy a lot of things, a guy will deliver them to your door.

It's still early.

Gu Rao walked around the street for a while. The delicacies sold on the street probably include steamed buns, noodles, candied haws, sesame cakes, bean curd, beggar chicken, rice cakes, osmanthus cakes, red date cakes, pine nut candies, malt candies...

 Ask for a ticket, compare your heart~
