Douluo: When Tang San's younger sister played idioms

Chapter 17 Five Years Later

With Tang Hao gone, this family is incomplete.

The two tidied up the room a bit, packed up all the things they didn't take when they left, and returned to the academy after only staying for two nights.

Before leaving, the two handed over the house key and the gift bought for Old Jack to the village chief, Old Jack, to thank him for taking care of them, and said that if the situation was urgent, they could borrow Yun Yun at their house, and they left without delay.

Although the two of them will come back to see that wooden house, it is no longer a home, but a house with six years of memories.

……

Five years later.

"Brother... I'm tired from walking..."

Under the bright sun, the three of them were walking on the dirt road between the fields, and the end of the road could not be seen.

"Come up, I'll carry you."

"Hey, brother is the best!"

The gentle voice of the boy and the clear voice of the girl echoed each other, spreading across the field.

"Oh, I'm so tired too. Xiaosan, can you add another person on your back?"

Xiao Wu complained from the side.

In the past few years, Xiao Wu's strange habits and hobbies have been corrected by her girlfriend Tang Tang a lot, at least she won't throw herself on boys casually, which is gratifying.

"No way, Xiao Wu, even if my brother can recite it, I will be crushed by you!"

"Oh, alright, alright. Master, there are so many middle-level colleges vying for us, but we are insisted on taking the entrance exam to a crappy college that doesn't even have this level. I don't know what to think."

Tang San said helplessly: "The teacher wants us to come, but you insist on following. Now you are complaining again."

"I'm complaining on behalf of Tangtang! What do you mean, Tangtang?"

"Huh? Er... um..."

Tang Tang looked helplessly at the bickering two people, so she had no choice but to be a peacemaker.

In the past five years, the two have never had fewer arguments, and when they quarreled fiercely, they would stage a full-scale martial arts—although the elder brother usually can't beat Xiao Wu without Wuhun, and she is the sad peacemaker. Duan Shui is really an art. (tears)
But they can fight at any time, if they dare to fight before going to bed, Tang Tang will let them see her magical speech.

"Soto City is ahead! Go Tangtang, let's go shopping together!"

"Okay! Brother, let me down~"

"Hey, slow down..."

The three of them were shopping in Suotuo City, and the boxes and bags in Tang San's hands were piled higher and higher.

"It should be almost enough shopping, right? Why don't we find a place to take a rest before continuing shopping?" Seeing that the reserved space for the soul tool was completely filled up and couldn't fit the purchased things, Tang San reminded helplessly.

"Hmm - there is one last store ahead, let's go after shopping!"

It was a simple shop with closed doors and no signboard. It was in the innermost alley, and almost no one paid attention to it.

"Is the boss there?" Tang Tang gently pushed the dusty wooden door, and the wooden door opened inward, revealing the messy room inside.

A rocking chair was placed in the middle of the room with its back facing the three of them, and a figure in black clothes could be vaguely seen.

"Look around, just pay for what you want." The person on the rocking chair waved his hand at the three of them with his back and said.

There was a strange fluctuation of soul power in the room, which was very similar to the various detection devices in the Wuhun Temple. Tang Tang knew that these fluctuations all came from the soul guide.

Soul guides that were not bound by someone would emit this kind of energy fluctuations. When the manufacturing process of soul guides was almost lost, this shop actually made her sense several different soul guide fluctuations. It seems that this shop is not ordinary.

Tang Tang walked around the room casually, walked around to the front of the rocking chair, and glanced casually.

Lying on the rocking chair was a middle-aged man who looked about 50 or [-] years old. He was thin but could vaguely see strong arm muscles. He had a flat face, wide cheekbones, a protruding chin, and a hooked nose.At this moment, he swayed on the rocking chair with his eyes closed, as if he didn't feel Tang Tang's gaze.

Although his appearance is very characteristic, he is not someone who needs special attention. Tang Tang took a look and looked away. Naturally, he did not notice that the man slowly opened his eyes and stared at her majestically.

After casually scanning around, there was nothing that caught his eye, and he was not lucky enough to find the soul guide from a pile of debris. Tang Tang straightened up and walked towards the two people standing by the wall at the door.

"How is it? Did you see anything you wanted to buy?" Xiao Wu asked.

Tang Tang shook his head regretfully.

"Then let's go, it's already noon, and I'm hungry."

Xiao Wu pulled Tang Tang and turned around and wanted to leave, Tang San quickly grabbed Tang Tang's arm and dragged them back.

"Wait a minute. Boss, how much is this crystal of yours?" Tang San asked pointing to a cloudy topaz in the box.

"Xiao San, you don't want to buy this rotten crystal, do you? Shouldn't the crystal be crystal clear? This crystal is muddy, and we might not be able to find a worse one, right?"

Listening to Xiao Wu's quick words, Tang Tang's eyes fell on the crystal in Tang San's hand, and she quickly realized it.

Her brother Tang San has never been a person who has no need for pleasure, and now he looks at this crystal, probably out of pragmatism rather than the need for appearance appreciation.

Tang San slightly turned his head and gave Tang Tang a wink. Tang Tang understood, nodded, and his bargaining mouth was ready to go.

"It's not expensive, one hundred gold soul coins." The man on the recliner didn't even look back, and directly quoted.

"Boss, did you quote the price without seeing which one we want to buy? Isn't one hundred gold soul coins too expensive for such a muddy crystal? One hundred gold soul coins are enough for us to go to the nearby crystal shop to buy hundreds of such crystals."

Tang Tang bargained according to reason, but the shopkeeper didn't answer her words at all.

"One hundred gold soul coins is already the cheapest price here. If you buy it, pay for it. If you don't buy it, please leave."

"Boss, how much is the minimum price for this crystal, if it suits us, we will buy it."

"Two hundred gold soul coins."

Hearing that the reserve price was not reduced but increased, Tang Tang only felt that he was being tricked.

"You're starting from the ground, how can you pay two hundred now after paying one hundred. No wonder your things can't be sold. Tangtang, Xiaosan, let's go, let's not buy."

"Boss, I've looked at all of your items, and they are basically second-hand items. Isn't it good that second-hand items are so expensive?"

"Well, it's really not good, I changed my mind, five hundred gold soul coins." The man on the rocking chair turned around and said playfully.

"Forget it, we don't want this crystal."

Seeing the price jumping up one after another, the rate was even more terrifying than usury, even Tang San couldn't hold back, he put down the crystal and was about to leave.

Although they could indeed get five hundred gold soul coins, they would also be seriously injured, and almost all of the savings he had obtained from the soul master's allowance and working in the blacksmith shop for six years would be taken away.Tang San naturally wouldn't make such a stupid move.

"Wait a minute. Where did you get your belt, boy?"

The middle-aged man who was looking at them fell on Tang San's waist on the 24th bridge on the moonlit night, and suddenly stopped them.

"My teacher gave it to me, what's the matter?" Looking at the vague look on the man's face, Tang San and Tang Tang had some guesses in their hearts.

"You guys take that crystal, I'll give it to you. It's not valuable anyway." The man didn't answer. He glanced at the belt again, sat back on the rocking chair, and swayed slowly.

You also know it's worthless!Tang Tang choked speechlessly.

"That's what you said!" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, she quickly hugged the topaz box and ran away.

Although I think it's not good to take it for nothing, but the free things are too delicious, Tang Tang hesitated, followed Xiao Wu out with a little guilt.

Seeing that the two girls were gone, Tang San took out a hundred gold soul coins from the storage soul tool and threw it to the shopkeeper, then hurriedly followed. The money bag landed firmly on the armrest of the rocking chair, making a crisp sound.

"Thank you uncle, I kindly accept it."

The door was gently closed, and the room was once again silent.

"Hmph, he actually accepted a good disciple..."

……

"It feels so happy to be a free prostitute! I don't have a storage soul guide, Tangtang, you can put it away and give it to Xiaosan later."

Xiao Wu walked out for a while, and stuffed the box into Tang Tang's hand.

Since she was a child, she has never taken such a big advantage from others. Tang Tang hugged the box tangledly, feeling a little restless.

Suddenly, a warm hand landed on Tang Tang's head and rubbed it gently.

"Tangtang, don't be embarrassed, brother just gave me the money."

"Really?" Tang Tang's eyes lit up, he smiled with peace of mind, his conscience was immediately appeased, and then he began to think about another question, "How much did you give?"

"One hundred gold soul coins is the initial price."

Although it is already the lowest price, Tang Tang still feels distressed.With just this one crystal, about one-sixth of Tang San's savings has gone, how can this not make people feel heartbroken.

"Don't feel bad. Believe me, brother, it's definitely worth buying this crystal."

"Yeah, brother, put the crystal away, let's find a place to rest and eat."
