Spirit rhinoceros

Chapter 42

On the street, the lights were dim, and the flow of people was bustling.

Mo Long was very satisfied, turned around to look at Lingxi, and said to himself: "It's better to pack all the outfits, so as to save trouble."

Lingxi listened in a daze, and didn't understand how he acted at all.

"Why don't you sell it?" Mo Long suddenly pointed to the little meatball following her feet, "Although I don't know what it is, but it can come and go freely on the ice of Mirror Lake, maybe it can be sold well Price."

"Of course not!" Lingxi frowned immediately, "I brought it out of Xiangting, so naturally I have to treat it well, how can I sell it?"

Mo Long laughed and said, "Is it good to let it accompany you hungry?" In fact, he had expected that she would not part with the little meat ball, so he didn't gossip, and dragged her to go shopping until he reached a small shop. , bought two identical brocade purses, and handed one of them to Lingxi.

Lingxi was puzzled: "I don't have any money, what's the use of having a purse?"

"Here, go get a bag of pebbles."

She was not allowed to ask again, Mo Long pushed her away regardless of reason, so she had no choice but to pack a bag of pebbles as she said.The money bag was in his hand, it was heavy, and he thought there was a bag of money until he opened it.

Although Lingxi was incomprehensible, she understood a bit: "You want to use it to deceive people?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" Mo Long weighed the two purses in his hands with satisfaction, one containing gold shells and the other containing pebbles, and put them in his sleeves.

There are several ready-to-wear shops in the town, and Mo Long took her into the biggest shop without even thinking about it.Because Shuangying Town is located on the bank of a glacier, it is naturally very cold, so the clothes sold are mainly thick and warm.The store sells a complete range of items, from boots to clothing to warm hats.

Carrying Lingxi, Mo Long strode into the store, took out a heavy purse and put it on the counter, and said loudly: "Bring a cloak for my wife, and a pair of boots, both of which are good!"

"My wife?!" Who is it?Me?

Lingxi was stunned, and turned to look at him suspiciously.

"Lady, you are tired from shopping, sit down and rest for a while." He squeezed her hand hard, motioning for her to cooperate with him, then turned his head and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, take out all your fine cloaks, No fox fur."

The owner of the store is a yak spirit, with thick hair combed neatly and a deep voice, he quickly asked the waiter to get a cloak and boots for Lingxi to try on.

"This is a ferret fur." ​​Mo Long nodded while watching Lingxi try it on.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The guest officer has a good eye. This mink fur cape just arrived yesterday. The leather material and workmanship are the best, but the price...is a bit expensive."

"It's not expensive, so I don't want to buy it." Mo Long pretended to be rich, and opened the money bag she put on the counter, revealing the gold shell inside, "You can't save money for your own wife."

"That's, that's. Your Madam has such an appearance, guest officer, how lucky you are."

The shopkeeper said with a smile, this kind of guest officials who are willing to spend money have always been the most popular.For this whole bag of golden shells, not to mention one or two cloaks, thirty or forty would be enough.

Lingxi tried on the cloak and boots inexplicably, and looked straight at Molong, not knowing what he was going to do?
Only then did Mo Long come over, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "No matter what I ask you in a while, you just shake your head."

Ever since he entered the store, he has been trying on women, clothes, and boots. Lingxi racked his brains but still can't figure out what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd?Just when she was wondering, she heard Mo Long ask: "Lady, this sable fur is very good in color, I look very good, do you like it?"

Lingxi was startled, met his eyes, and then reacted, shaking his head hastily.

"I don't like it." Mo Long made a regretful look, "Where are the boots?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly interjected, "These buckskin boots are top-notch, light and warm."

"Are you comfortable wearing it? Do you like it?" Mo Long asked again.

Lingxi shook his head again.

The store owner was a little anxious, unwilling to let go of such a big customer, and hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, we have other styles in our store, Madam will try again."

Mo Long lowered her head and asked Lingxi softly, "Do you want to try again?"

Although he felt a little sympathetic to the store owner, Lingxi still kept his words in mind and shook his head all the way to the end.

Mo Long regretfully said to the shopkeeper: "Forget it, it seems that she doesn't like it. It's okay, we will go shopping again when there are new products next time." He put away the money bag and left the shop with Lingxi.

After walking dozens of steps, guessing that the shopkeeper could no longer see them, Lingxi quickly broke away from Mo Long's arm, and said angrily, "What's all this? I'm not your wife? You just want to play tricks on me, right? "

Mo Long looked at her with folded arms, and said with a smile, "Why? You don't suffer."

Not knowing how to answer these words, Lingxi blushed: "Anyway, it just won't work!"

"It's alright, alright, I'm teasing you. It was just foreplay, and the real drama hasn't started yet." Mo Long Shi walked forward leisurely.

Lingxi became more and more confused, caught up with him, grabbed his sleeves and asked, "What else is there to play?"

Mo Long shook her head and refused to speak.

"You still want to play tricks on me, don't you?" Lingxi stared at him suspiciously, very dissatisfied, "Even if I cheated you once, I will apologize to you, why bother playing tricks on me again."

Mo Long stopped and glanced at her, wondering, "When did you apologize to me?"

Lingxi was speechless for a moment, lowered his head and picked at his fingers, and said in a low voice: "I'm in my heart... I just didn't say it."

Mo Long wanted to put on a sullen face, but she couldn't help but laughed, and poked her between the eyebrows with her hand: "Don't judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

In a restaurant not far away, Bai Xi accompanied the slightly drunk Xia Houfeng out, supporting him very dutifully, and inadvertently raised her head to see Mo Long and Lingxi, and was startled.

"Why is she here?" He said to himself, "It's the first time I see Brother Long smiling like a flower."

Xia Houfeng turned his head: "Huh? What did you say?"

"Lingxi is there, and..." Bai Xi pointed, and the two who were still there just now disappeared in the blink of an eye. He froze, looked around, but still did not see them.

Xia Houfeng squinted his eyes, didn't see it, and rubbed his eyes again: "Lingxi? Why is she here?"

"...Why are people gone?"

"Dizzy you."

Bai Xi helped Xia Houfeng back to the inn, and looked back twice unwillingly, but still didn't see anyone, so he had to admit that he was dazzled just now.

Mo Long was pulling Lingxi to pick and choose in a pastry shop.

"...I love sweets..." He bent over and carefully selected, "It must not have the flavor of sweet-scented osmanthus, he doesn't like it, and he doesn't eat peanuts..."

There was a row of porcelain plates for free tasting on the side, and Lingxi ate plate by plate in a bored manner.She no longer wanted to ask what the purpose of this move was. Although she was extremely curious, she didn't want Mo Long to play with her.

Mo Long picked out pastries, and the store wrapped them densely with oiled paper—a box of buttered milk cakes, a box of wine-skinned and sandy pastries, a box of crispy yellow yogurt and raisin pastries, and a box of gold and silver bamboo knot rolls.

"I can't eat so much." Lingxi declared in advance.

Mo Long put a stack of boxes into her arms: "These are for the old man. Let's go, I'll take you to drink tea!"

"I don't want to drink tea!" Lingxi flatly refused.

"You must drink, the main show is about to begin."

"..."

Mo Long pulled Lingxi back and walked back. When he reached the tailor shop just now, he turned into the tea shop diagonally opposite to the tailor shop, and sat down at the table closest to the street.

Lingxi stared at him vigilantly: "What are you going to do?...Don't call me your wife again."

"Don't worry, you just need to sit here and drink tea."

After arranging the pastry box on the table and ordering another pot of the cheapest high foam, Mo Long told Lingxi to sit still while he strode towards the tailor shop.

I don't know what kind of game he has set up, Lingxi frowned and looked at the tailor shop.

"Shop!" Mo Long shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door, "Take out the cloak and boots that my wife tried on just now." He still put the money bag heavily on the counter.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up: "Guest officer, you are back again!"

"I visited a few more, but my wife still thinks yours is the best, so she turned it back, and she wants to try again." Mo Long said, "You take the mink fur cape and deerskin boots that she tried on last. Bring it."

The shop owner hurriedly ordered the assistant to bring it to Mo Long, and at the same time asked, "Where is Madam?"

Mo Long pouted outside the door: "She is weak, tired from walking around, and is drinking tea to rest. I'll take it for her to try."

"Take it?" The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, glanced at the money bag on the counter, and said to himself, "There is enough money in this money bag to buy thirty or forty pieces, so I'm not afraid that he will run away."

"It's just across the street. Could it be that you're still afraid that we'll run away?" Mo Long raised an eyebrow.

"Where is it, sir, just take it and let Madam try it." The shopkeeper hurriedly said.

"Thank you."

Mo Long took the cloak and boots, crossed the street, and came back to her under Lingxi's surprised gaze.

"Come on, put it on!"

Lingxi lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on?"

"Just wear it." Mo Long put the cloak on her and urged her to change her boots.

Seeing the shopkeeper poking his head here, Lingxi had no choice but to put it on reluctantly: "And then?"

"Go ahead and drink tea, don't worry."

Mo Long picked up the tureen in a leisurely manner, blew on the froth on it, and took a sip slowly. In fact, the corner of her eyes never left the shopkeeper of the tailor shop—seeing a guy calling him inside, the shopkeeper had to turn his head, He glanced at the tea shop again worryingly, and then turned around to deal with the business.

It was too late, it was so fast, Mo Long picked up the pastry box with one hand and Lingxi with the other, and walked towards the tea shop. He quickly walked out from the backyard of the tea shop, went straight to the alley, and then walked along the alley seven times. Turning eight turns... When they stopped, they were already beside the Yishui River, and the surrounding night was dark, only the sound of the river flowing quietly could be heard.

Wearing a sable fur, Lingxi was sweating all over, and before he could catch his breath, he asked, "You, you really didn't pay?"

"Nonsense." Mo Long took it for granted, "Is there any need to run away after paying?"

"But...how could he be willing to let you take out your clothes?"

Mo Long had just told her about the hurdles of the scam, and Lingxi understood why he bought two identical purses.

"The shopkeeper thinks you have so much money in the shop, so naturally you won't go back." She bit her lip and said, "When he opens the money bag, wouldn't it be, wouldn't it be..."

"I thought it was Jin Bei, but I didn't expect it to be a bag of stones." Mo Long smiled comfortably, "I must have a bad face, but unfortunately, I can't see it."

Lingxi said sullenly: "We have no grievances or enmities with him, why bother to cheat him like this?"

Mo Long didn't care: "He himself saw a bag of golden shells, which was worth the clothes in that room, and he became greedy. How could he say that we cheated him."

"How can this be called greed?" Lingxi retorted, "Everyone likes money, he does his own business to make money, what's wrong with that! You were willing to help me go to Xiangting back then, wasn't it because I was willing to pay for it?" Is it?"

Hearing this, Mo Long's face darkened, and his tone suddenly became unfriendly: "You compare me with him? In your eyes, I am the same as him?!"

"No." Lingxi didn't understand why he was suddenly annoyed, and explained, "I just think it's unkind to deceive people like this..."

Mo Long interrupted her and snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm a kind person?"

"I..." Lingxi froze.
