Peasant girl who traveled through time: I brought an earth with me

When the man saw this guy's indifferent look, he had nowhere to vent his anger.

In the end, he could only turn around and leave with a gloomy expression.

Zhong Chuchu followed him and walked for a while.

The man suddenly turned around and asked coldly: "You have followed me all the way, what do you want to do?"

Zhong Chuchu scratched her head in embarrassment and glanced at the package in his hand.

The man immediately became alert.

"How dare you two come to rob me?" he said angrily.

Ah Yue took a step forward, staring at him closely, like staring at the fish on the chopping board.

The man was startled. This woman looked extraordinary. She was afraid that there would be a fierce fight today.

He immediately analyzed the situation in front of him. The woman in white behind him, Zhong Chuchu, should be her master. She seemed to be just an ordinary woman. If there was a fight, she would be the first to be dealt with. He imagined a dozen fight scenes in his mind.

Zhong Chuchu coughed twice and pulled Ah Yue back, who was standing in front of her.

She smiled and said to the man: "Don't be nervous, we are all civilized people, I just want to have a few words with this brother."

The man looked at her with doubtful eyes.

Zhong Chuchu smiled: "I heard the conversation you had with the furniture store guy just now. I'm just curious, what are you going to sell to the furniture store?"

The man remained alert and said nothing.

Zhong Chuchu explained: "Don't worry, we are not from the government. Besides, I just like collecting antiques. I don't care about your identity."

The man's eyes widened in horror: "How do you know it's an antique? Also, who am I? I'm just an ordinary farmer."

Zhong Chuchu laughed: "It's whatever you say."

She took out a piece of silver from her body, weighed it in her hand, and asked the man, "Are you willing to do a business with me?"

The man stared at the ingot of silver, a fire burning in his heart.

He thought of his cousin who was still at home waiting for him to treat him, gritted his teeth and replied: "Okay, I am willing." After saying that, he handed over the cloth bag.

Ah Yue took the initiative to take the cloth bag and, at Zhong Chuchu's signal, began to open it layer by layer.

After wrapping it in several layers, the contents were finally revealed - a palm-sized red sandalwood and gold cicada gourd handle.

There is a golden cicada perched on the mouth of the gourd. The carving is lifelike, as if it will flap its wings and fly high at any time.

The entire handle is black with purple color, and there is a gray leather shell on the surface, which looks very old.

Ah Yue held it in her hand carefully. It felt very heavy and solid.

The more Zhong Chuchu looked at it, the more she liked it.

The man said in a deep voice: "This is my family's inheritance, five hundred taels!"

Zhong Chuchu suddenly burst out laughing, as if she had heard some funny joke, and tears were almost shed.

She waved her hand, signaling Ah Yue to return the things to the man.

The man was a little embarrassed, but luckily it was dark so he couldn't see his face clearly.

He reached out to get something back, but Zhong Chuchu ducked sideways.

"This thing of yours has such a strong earthy smell. Did your ancestors bury it in the soil to preserve it?" Zhong Chuchu asked calmly.

The man raised his eyebrows, as if he felt that his lie had been exposed.

Zhong Chuchu continued: "Forget it, just take your treasure and sell it, and see which one will pay five hundred taels."

The man was stunned after hearing this and seemed a little angry.

"I don't think the workmanship of your thing is very good, so the wood might be worth something."

"Let's see, if you sell it for one tael of silver, I will reluctantly take it and treat it as buying a toy." The man's face turned from red to black in an instant, and he said angrily: "What a beautiful idea! One tael of silver? This is me It took me and Fengzi more than a month to dig into the tomb to find the treasure! You ignorant person!" After saying this, he realized that he had let the matter slip.

In this era, although tomb robbing was not explicitly prohibited, this act of digging graves was still criticized by ordinary people.

So people in this business are very sneaky.

"Oh? Is this what you got from robbing the tomb?" Zhong Chuchu asked in surprise.

"That's right! That's why the earthy smell is so strong!" the man explained.

"In that case, I'll pay five taels of silver to buy it, what do you think?" Zhong Chuchu proposed a new price.

The man looked disdainful at first, then showed a struggling look, and finally reluctantly chose to compromise.

His expression went through a lot of changes in just three seconds, as if he was performing a play.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Let's do it!"

"If Fengzi hadn't needed money for her hand injury this time, I would never have accepted this price!"

Zhong Chuchu didn't express any opinion, but just handed him five taels of snowflake silver.

The man took the silver, turned around and left with a smile on his lips.

When he disappeared at the corner of the street, Zhong Chuchu said to Ah Yue: "Follow him and see where he lives."

Ah Yue nodded and then left as quickly as the wind.

She followed the man, always keeping a hundred meters away.

The man quickly left the avenue and finally slipped into a small alley without anyone noticing.

He walked for about a stick of incense and finally bent down and rested against the wall behind him.

The originally gloomy expression had softened at this moment, and upon closer inspection, there was even a hint of a successful smile at the corner of his mouth.

After resting for a while, the man started on his way again.

He walked around the town three or four times to make sure he was not being followed before entering a medical clinic.

Ah Yue hid behind a pillar next to the medical center. After about a cup of tea, the man came out carrying two sets of medicine.

He also strolled around the town leisurely and bought a roast chicken and some wine.

Towards evening, the man came to a town twenty miles west of Guihua Village.

The weathered old wooden door in Osmanthus Village is not locked and opens with a gentle push.

Since his hands were full of things, he could only close the door with his body.

Not long after entering the house, a medicinal aroma wafted from the kitchen.

Ah Yue jumped up to the roof as lightly as a swallow, found a room with lights on, and lay down on it, with her ears pressed against the roof.

She heard the man say: "Fengzi, don't worry, I have sold the things."

Then, another magnetic male voice said: "Brother Hong, after finishing this order, let's stop!"

"How about that? You have such skills. Let's work for a few more years and leave this hellish place when we save enough money."

There was some reluctance in the man's voice, "Don't you want to go back to the old days?"

"Ahem, that's all in the past. Didn't we fall badly enough?" Another man said dejectedly.

"No! I can't swallow this breath. Those people have forced us into desperation!"

"Now, I am barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. I just want to go back and let out such a bad temper!"

"Brother...I don't want to lie anymore!"
