The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 155 This question costs 100 taels!

Looking for the reputation, the person who spoke was a man wearing worn-out patched clothes.

He wore half a crown of corewood hair, with a few thin braids hanging from his temples. He was leaning on the fork of an old tree next to him, lazily holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, looking carefree.

I took a closer look and found that although his clothes were shabby, his clothes and boots were extremely clean, especially his hair, which was polished and smooth, and neatly combed, without any look of ruin.In addition, he has fine eyebrows and a handsome face. Although he is dressed like a beggar, he doesn't feel like a beggar at all.

From the looks of it, he has been watching the scenery for a while, but our group of people didn't realize that this person seems... not so simple.

"Want to know?" The man grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Xuanyuan Chen took a half step forward, cupped his fists and said hello, "Since brother knows the situation, please let me know."

"No problem!" The man nodded, looked Xuanyuan Chen up and down, grinned, and gestured with his hand, "50 taels."

"........."

I've heard that tolls have been collected, but I haven't heard of tolls. 50 taels is enough for ordinary people to buy a house or land. This is robbery!
The man tore the dog's tail grass from his mouth, jumped down from the tree, and kindly helped to analyze, "Hey, for only 50 taels, you can know where Maoyan Mountain is, and what's wrong with it , I can better understand why these people’s faces change when they hear the word Maoyan Mountain, this is a good deal!”

Seeing that we didn't seem to pay attention to him, he grinned, put the dog's tail back in his mouth, hugged his shoulders and said, "Hey, I'm not trying to trick you, fifty is really not much, you can see people , because today happens to be the market day, and it will be dark now, no one has left here, and by then, no one will tell you the news at 50 taels."

What he said was true. There were still people on the road just now, but now it was dark, and there were really no people.

Forget it, 50 taels is 50 taels, just feed the dogs.

"Donghu, give me the money."

"Yes, girl!" Xuanyuan Chen's guard clasped his hands, took a 50 taels of silver ingot from his purse and threw it over.

The man weighed it casually and thought it was enough, so he stuffed the silver into his pocket, and then pointed out, "See the tallest mountain in front of you, does it look like a mountain with a hat on? That's a hat." Weir mountain.

It is said that this mountain was not like this at first. A hundred years ago, there was a sudden strong wind and heavy rain, and a huge boulder flew from the sky and fell on the top of the mountain. Over time, the flying stone grew into the shape of a hat, and it was called Maoyan Mountain.Legend has it that there are outstanding people here, countless precious medicinal materials in the mountain, and even a double-tailed fox haunts the mountain. It is really a treasure mountain! "

He shook his head, talking like a storyteller, but what I wanted to hear was not this, so I interrupted him and said, "You don't need to talk about these, just get to the point, and tell me why those people are scared when they mention Maoyan Mountain." gone."

"Oh." He responded, and replied briefly, "It is said that there is a mess in the mountains!"

"Dirty? What kind of dirt?" I asked.

He smiled, showing his white teeth, and gestured, "This question costs 100 taels!"

Donghu got angry, "Hey! You kid, didn't you just give you 50 taels, why do you want another 100 taels!"

The man bit his dog's tail and said grassyly, "The previous 50 taels was to tell you why this Maoyan Mountain caused panic. I said the reason is that there is dirt. As for what kind of dirt is there, that is another question." Yes, of course you have to charge extra.

You can choose not to ask me, or you can choose to go directly to Maoyan Mountain, anyway, I have already told you the location.

As for the second question, it's up to me whether you want to talk about it or not. If you want to hear what I have to say, just pay me, 100 taels. This is a good deal! "

"You!" Donghu is a straight-tempered person, but he is not at all eloquent, his face is flushed, and he has no way to refute.

Xuanyuan Chen seemed to find what he said was interesting, but he didn't care, and said with a smile, "Donghu, give him another 100 taels!"

"Yes! Young Master." Dong Hu replied, and took out a large ingot of silver from his purse, a little reluctantly, but still placed it on the palm of the man's outstretched hand ready to receive the money.

100 taels is a large piece of silver, which weighs heavily in your hand.

The man was overjoyed, grabbed the silver, weighed it, and bit it in his mouth to test the authenticity. After confirming that the silver was real, he happily stuffed it into his purse. Finally, he fastened the purse and patted it twice in satisfaction.

"You can talk about it now." Donghu looked at him sideways, with a look of disapproval.

"Oh, that's fine." He nodded and said sincerely, "I don't know what kind of dirt it is."

"What are you talking about!" Dong Hu was angry, "My son spent 100 taels, and he just bought it from you, don't you know!"

The man raised his eyebrows with the dog's tail grass in his mouth, and said, "I just said, give me 100 taels, and I will answer your question. But, I didn't say that, I know the answer, hehehe..."

"You kid is playing us!" Donghu was completely angry.

The man smiled, showing his white teeth and said, "Oh, it's only 100 taels. You don't look like people who are short of money, so don't be so stingy. You see, when you are angry, your brows have creases. It's always like this." You won’t be able to get a wife, I have a set of rejuvenating soup and medicine recipes from Huichuntang, and I see that Xiongtai is also a straightforward person. You and I are also destined, so I will give you a [-]% discount, ten taels of silver will be fine."

As he said that, he really took out a piece of origami...

"Hey! You kid, look at the trick!" Donghu couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the mountain ax on the saddle and was about to do it.

The boy's reaction was really fast, he threw the origami and jumped onto the branch, and disappeared after two jumps, that speed was faster than the wind.

No wonder he didn't notice it when he was around for a long time. It turned out that he was pregnant with a good lightness kung fu.

"You kid, where are you running!" Dong Hu wanted to chase angrily, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Chen, "Don't chase, the business is important."

Donghu stopped immediately, cupped his fists in a salute, stepped back and hung the mountain-opening ax back on the saddle.

After being disturbed by this kid, it was getting late. We were on the official road, and there were no inns around. Since Maoyan Mountain is so discolored by people, we should not go up the mountain at night.

Xuanyuan Chen looked around and saw a dirt road not far away. Along the way, there seemed to be a few thatched cottages. He expected it to be a village, so he decided to stay for one night first, to find out the situation and talk about it tomorrow.

The group of people then walked towards the dirt road, and arrived at the village during tea time.

This village is not big, with only a dozen families. There is only one noodle shop and one tavern in the whole village. Naturally, there will be no inns for people to rest. Fortunately, the people here are simple and simple. An old man knew that we wanted to rest, so he knocked on the door enthusiastically. We were arranged in the villagers' homes respectively.

If it was a coincidence, the place where Xuanyuan Chen and I stayed was the house of the woman who was scared by me and ran away with her baby in her arms.

When the woman opened the door and saw that it was the two of us, she was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't say much, so she let us enter the room, and first poured tea for the two of us, knowing that we hadn't eaten, cooked noodles for us, and brought us Some refreshing little pickles, now go to clean up the place for us.

The tea in the country is weak, and the pasta is also less oily and less flavorful, but it has an indescribable feeling when paired with the refreshing pickles from the owner's house.Although I don't know how to eat, but I just ate up a big bowl of noodles. In a trance, I felt a kind of fireworks from the bottom of my heart.

After catching Linghu, he did the third thing for She Ming, after healed the poison on his body, he took revenge...

If possible, I really want to spend a few days cooking tea and washing rice to make soup, cooking at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Xuanyuan Chen seemed to know what I was thinking, bent his lips and smiled, and gently held my hand, "Little girl, wherever you are, I will be there, and I will always be with you."

My heart warmed and I smiled.Darkness appeared in Xuanyuan Chen's beautiful peach eyes, and he slowly approached...

"Brother and sister, what are you doing..."

Just when our lips were about to touch, a sweet voice suddenly came from the right side, and a pair of big black grape-like eyes were just a short distance away, staring at the two of us curiously.

If that wasn't the youngest daughter of the owner's family, who else could it be...

Embarrassed for a while, I quickly pushed Xuanyuan Chen away, but he didn't care, lightly scratched the tip of the child's nose, took a sip from the tea bowl with a smile.

The child didn't look at Xuanyuan Chen, but stared at me instead, his black eyes were full of curiosity, I was a little unnatural at first, but then I laughed lightly.

Seeing me laughing, the child actually started giggling too. The two little pear dimples seemed to be filled with honey, which melted people's hearts.

"What's your name?" I asked softly.

"My name is Ling'er. I am not old this year. My mother's surname is Liu, and my father's surname is Zhang. My father has gone to the city to buy food. He will come back tomorrow and will buy a lot of food for Ling'er."

The child smiled sweetly, and actually said a bunch of words, that petite appearance is really extremely cute, Xuanyuan Chen laughed, returned and hugged her on his lap, holding her in his arms strangely.

The child pinched his nose, then his face, and then tugged his ears with both hands, just giggling by himself.

Xuanyuan Chen smiled for a while, looked at me, and curled the corners of his lips.

"Ling'er, don't mess around, go back to the house."

The master came out from the side room and saw the child in Xuanyuan Chen's hair, he quickly drank, stepped forward to pick up the child, and said apologetically, "The child is still young and ignorant, so please don't be offended."

Xuanyuan Chen said, "It's okay, it's okay, the child is very cute, we like it very much."

The master nodded slightly, and hurriedly sent the child to the side room first, and after a few careful instructions, he came out and said to me, "You two distinguished guests, the room is tidied up, you can rest now."

Xuanyuan Chen nodded in thanks, and took out a 50 taels of silver ingot from his sleeve pocket as a thank you gift for bothering.

The woman seemed to have never seen such a large ingot of silver, and she refused to accept it. In the end, Xuanyuan Chen had no choice but to exchange some broken silver for her.The woman shied away for a long time, so she had to explain that she would use the money to cook meat for us, and she reluctantly accepted it.

When we entered the village, there must be Shenshi. It will be almost Youshi, and the lights outside the window have already been turned off. The two of us also want to go to the side to rest. Sir, do you want to go to the mountain over there?"

I nodded, and then she said again, "Looking at the faces of the two of you, they are both kind-faced people. I would like to advise you, if there is nothing important, if you can not go to the mountain over there, then don't go. Then The Shanxie Sect is very popular, many people have already gone and never came back."
