Strongest Abandoned Immortal

Chapter 4: Taobao
Wen Shu is well aware of her brother's temper. In her previous life, every time she encountered such a situation, she would inevitably be ridiculed. Tonight, she didn't have an attack, and she let Yue Wenhan drag her to the front of the stall.

Huizhen is a small town, and decent shops are located on the street where Xiao Changsheng is.

The Lihuo Festival is held by Suqing Temple, a Taoist temple in this town.The Taoist temple was built in a secluded place in the south of the town, and it was difficult for a horse-drawn carriage to go straight to the Taoist temple. When it rained, it would be muddy on the yellow mud road the size of three people walking side by side.

Fortunately, the weather has been fine in the past few days, and the yellow mud road on the ground is dry and hard, so the feet of the people who come to watch the ceremony are a little dry.

There are whole rows of green willows on both sides of the yellow mud road. In order to celebrate the Li Fire Festival, several red lanterns are hung on the willows.Taking advantage of the Li Huo lighting ceremony tonight, some hawkers who are good at business came out, occupied some ground, spread a piece of durable cloth, and set up a simple stall.

Wen Shu was dragged by Yue Wenhan, slipped through the crowd, stood in front of the stall, took a closer look at the stall, and really saw some differences.

On a festival like the Li Huo Festival, the spectators who come here are nothing more than those from other towns to watch the fun or the adults in the town come out with their children. Boys and girls with a few copper coins.

As for the hawkers who set up the stalls, most of them sell food and entertainment. Yue Wenhan is twelve years old, and he has passed the age of eating and playing.

As for Wen Shu, she lived to the age of marrying a woman in her previous life, and she didn't pay much attention to the coveted tricks of those children from other places. The two of them walked all the way just now, and they didn't pay much attention to this kind of shop when they saw it.

It wasn't until he was approaching the Taoist temple where he met Liu Nizi that Yue Wenhan saw the shop sharply.

On the straw mat with frayed edges, all kinds of things were randomly scattered on it.There are whetstones, daggers, a few tattered books, and even cattail fans used to keep cool in summer.The things are all old, and the owner of the stall is also dressed in rags, with a scruffy face and a beard, he is an extremely down-and-out man.

"Little brother, young lady, come and see? These are all my treasures, especially these few books, they are all my lifelong masters," the down-and-out man spoke in an unfamiliar accent, not Huizhen. native.

As soon as he heard that it was a unique skill, Yue Wenhan's eyes lit up. He was doing some work in the inn as a waiter. He possesses unique skills, such as smashing a whole boulder with one punch, or jumping up to the five-meter-high stone gate at the gate of Huizhen Town with a light leap.

Wen Shu gave Yue Wenhan a hand, wanting to remind her brother that if the other party really has "unique knowledge", he still needs to put up straw mats in the town and sell such junk.

"Shu'er, look, this is the Vajra Finger and this is the Iron Armor Kungfu. When I learn these good skills, I won't be afraid that Mrs. Liu will come and teach us with a broom." This pair of brothers and sisters didn't treat the young master and miss half the heart, and they didn't bully them secretly.Yue Wenshu's broom skills in her previous life before she died in vain was learned while watching Liu cook around.

Hearing what her elder brother said, Wen Shu vaguely remembered that when Yue Wenhan was eleven or twelve years old, he was really obsessed with martial arts for a period of time. He held a few tattered books every day, couldn't sleep at night, couldn't eat, and said You must learn peerless martial arts well, and live a good life with your mother and sister in the future.

Huizhen is a farming town. There is no serious school in the town, and many women and children are illiterate. The brothers and sisters of the Yue family are able to read and write short texts thanks to Yeshi's careful teaching since childhood.

After Yue Wenhan learned those so-called peerless magical skills, his hands and feet were indeed much more flexible than those of his peers, and he was taken away by people from the Yue family later.

Could it be that this down-and-out stall owner is really an expert with unique knowledge?
Wen Shu was startled, and her complexion changed accordingly. She squatted down and rummaged through the pile of tattered books with her brother seemingly curiously.

The down-and-out peddler glanced at the two brothers and sisters, seeing that their clothes were neat, their conversation was different from ordinary rough people, and they were talking about the names on the book cover in a low voice. Self-promotion is up to them to rummage through.

Yue Wenhan was still holding the two books he had been muttering about earlier, "Diamond Finger" and "Iron Armor Kung Fu".

The peddler saw that the two had made their choice, first glanced at the one in Wenhan's hand, smiled, and gave a thumbs up: "Brother is clever, if you master these two cheat books, you will be considered a man."

As if honey had been smeared on his mouth again, he kept boasting, "I think my brother also intends to buy it. A book is worth five copper coins. It's a friend."

Five copper coins are not expensive, nor are they cheap.According to the prices in Huizhen, one copper plate can be exchanged for two biscuits, which is the food money for ordinary people for two or three days.At that time, books were something that only the rich could afford for entertainment. If the two of them had not held old books in their hands, Yue Wenhan would not have asked about the price.

Hearing the price, Yue Wenhan hesitated. He also knew the scene in the inn, and the few copper coins his mother gave were also saved without telling the chef Liu.

"It's only five copper coins per book, but we also need to add these two books with missing pages," Yue Wenhan listened to the girl beside him and said crisply,

Looking at Wen Shu's hand again, he also grabbed two books, both of which were missing the title and end pages.

It turned out that Wen Shu fell in love with two books when she was helping to flip through them just now, one is "Strengthening the Body", and the other is "Condensation Art".There were quite a few books on the booth, about fifteen or six. Wen Shu didn't know why, but when she saw the names of these two books, she intuitively felt that these two books were the most suitable.

In fact, the peddler is not a peerless master at all. He is a wandering businessman in a nearby town. The two books in Wen Han's hand were bought from a quitter. copper coins.

The one in Wen Shu's hand was bought from a mad Taoist.The crazy Taoist heard that he was a rich Taoist priest who practiced things in his early years. Later, he didn't know what was wrong, so he abandoned his profession and followed others in seeking longevity. With a sigh of relief, in desperation, he sold all the secrets of longevity collected for decades. Adding up all his belongings, he only sold more than a hundred copper coins, and he didn't even get a coffin with a thin mouth.

The Taoist whisks and Taoist uniforms have been sold to the little Taoist priests in Suqing Temple by the peddler, and the few tatters left behind were thrown on the ground and treated as garbage. .

"Miss, you have a vicious vision. The two things in your hand are the aftermath of a master." The peddler put away the doubt in his heart,

Yue Wenhan was also weird, not only did the girl not stop him from buying these junk things, she even helped him bargain.Girls are always good at talking, not to mention that Wenshu grew up in such a complicated environment as the Little Eternal Life Inn. In her last life, after Yeshi's health failed, she took care of the inside and outside of the inn by herself. , Long ago lost the immaturity of a 12-year-old girl.

"What's behind? Are those things used by the dead? The things used by the dead are unlucky, and even other things are also tainted with bad luck. Boss, I think you should sell them to us together, just ten copper coins," Wen Shu He raised his voice a little, and pretended to be extremely disgusted, which attracted many passers-by to watch.

"Hi, miss, please speak softly." The peddler was in a hurry. After she said this, customers would dare to come to the door.

His heart was hurting, and he still didn't forget to put in a little more effort: "Ten copper coins won't make it, you have to put some more stickers on it. Although the book is torn, you can still read it. Add two more coins to each book." Copper coins, fourteen copper coins, that's the lowest price."

"No, it's still too expensive." Wen Shu shook her head, guessing that few people in the small town would spend money on these inedible and inedible books, "I have to give something left behind by an expert like me." It’s only when you make a lot of money.”

"Miss, you are too good at negotiating the price. I really don't have any more. I sold them all. You really want to ask for some interest. The stone on the mat over there was left by the old Taoist priest. Take it all away. Alright." The peddler was afraid of Wen Shu, he had never seen a girl with such a sharp mouth.

The brothers and sisters looked at the corner of the straw mat, and there was really a stone on the lower right, a dark one, about the size of an inkstone, with some dark red lines on the surface.

Wen Shu was ecstatic in her heart, she had seen this kind of stone before.

On the wedding night, in the kitchen of the Little Eternal Life Inn, Chen Lang and others placed this kind of stone on the magic circle, but the stone she saw tonight was smaller and darker .

She didn't hesitate anymore, took out fourteen copper coins, gave them to the vendor, then took the stone, put it in her arms, and pulled Yue Wenhan out of the stall as if fleeing.
