A bead, a top-quality bead with colorful luster!
If you put such a pearl in Chang'an East City, you can definitely have a delicious meal in the most luxurious restaurant! Or marry a beauty in the best brothel.
But now, this down-and-out man only exchanged it for half a piece of dry biscuit.
In this huge difference, there is of course gratitude to Lin San for his generous help.
But what's more, it's the deep fatigue and boredom in the man's heart.
Make one wrong move and lose every step! Up to now, the world is so big, how can there be a place for him?
I dare not enter the city and dare not see people. At this time, even if I have a fortune, what can I do?
It’s better to disperse, it’s better to disperse!
The troubled man gnawed on the dry biscuits, completely unaware of the shock and greed in Lin San's eyes opposite him!
"No, you have to control it, don't take it!"
After swallowing hard and staring at the bead intently, Lin San suddenly thought of something and used great perseverance to push the bead back!
"The guest is joking, it's just a piece of cake, how can I accept your gift! Besides, this little thing is so beautiful, I guess it can be exchanged for a lot of cakes, right?"
Lin San felt like his heart was bleeding after saying these words against his will.
God, it’s not that he doesn’t want this! In fact, he knew clearly in his heart:
At this time, I am playing the role of an honest and honest farm boy! How could a farm man who had never been to the county seat several times know a valuable Dongzhu?
When Lin San pushed the bead back, the man just finished eating the cake.
He raised his head and glanced at Lin San who was handing the bead, and smiled and said: "How can you take back what you gave away? Just keep it. It's just a beautiful bead, not a valuable thing."
"Isn't this worth something?!" Lin San's face twitched slightly when he heard the man's understatement!
He remembered that he once robbed a large household with a group of people and got such a pearl.
It's just that that one wasn't as big as this one, and it wasn't as good-looking as this one. In the end, it sold for a full thirty bucks in the market!
Thirty dollars! This money is enough to feed the family dry biscuits for ten years! And how much is this obviously better bead in front of me worth?
"Then...thank you very much. When I get back, I can use it to make a headdress for my daughter."
The palm of the hand holding the bead was a little moist. In the end, Lin San couldn't resist the temptation and greedily took the bead into his arms. Fortunately, it was getting late and the man didn't notice his expression.
"Guest, it's getting late! Because it's close to the mountains, there are often jackals, tigers and leopards around here. It's not safe for you to walk at night! I think it's better to stay at my house for one night. I can also ask my mother-in-law to cook some food. Let’s have two more cups at home.”
Carefully collecting the beads, Lin San patted his breast pocket calmly, smiled honestly at the man, and cordially invited him to his home.
"this……"
When he heard that he was going home with Lin San, the man looked hesitant. He was about to refuse subconsciously, but his stomach growled again. It was this sound that made the man give up the idea of sleeping in the wild.
"That's all, I don't know where I'm going tomorrow anyway, so why not fill your stomach and have a good rest? Even if you die, you won't be a starving ghost."
Sighing heavily in his heart, the man bowed his hands politely to Lin San: "Then I'm sorry!"
"Haha, you're welcome, you're welcome!"
Seeing that the man agreed, Lin San, who was a little nervous at first, immediately smiled and led the man to the village.
Because they were not far from Zhuangzi when they met the man, they only walked for a short while before they arrived at Lin's Zhuangzi.
Linjiazhuangzi is located at the foot of the Qinling Mountains. It used to be the foothold of some hunters, and gradually formed a village. Therefore, the scale is not too large, only a few dozen or less than a hundred households.
It was already getting late, and people had already eaten by this time. They were sitting at the door to enjoy the cool weather. When they saw Lin San coming back with a stranger, they all curiously asked: Who is this person?
"This...is a friend of mine! He was robbed when he came to see me." Lin San always answered this way when asked by his neighbors.
"Yes, we are about to be robbed, and we are being robbed in a den of thieves! Anyone who can easily take out a top-quality bead must have other treasures with him. God is really going to make us rich this time! "
Thinking like this, the smile on Lin San's face became even brighter. He had already made up his mind not to call those brothers this time, but to eat this fat sheep by himself!
"My house is in front of the guest, huh? Wife, wife! Go and get some dishes. I want to talk to...this guest, I don't know what you call me yet?"
Leading the man back to his yard, Lin San shouted loudly before he could enter the door. However, before he finished shouting, he realized that he didn't even know the man's name, so he couldn't help but turned to ask the man in embarrassment.
"My, my surname is Xue, just call me Xue Er." The man replied, but when he mentioned the name Xue Er, his tone was obviously a little low.
Hey, my eldest brother just died in battle a few days ago, but I didn't even have the chance to collect the bones and go to pay homage. I could only hide here and there like a mouse, and I don't know when I was caught. Brother Bu Following in the footsteps!
Speaking of which, it is estimated that many people have already guessed the man's identity.
That's right, this man is Xue Wanche who led the prince's bodyguard to attack Xuanwu Gate and fled to the Qinling Mountains after the failure! General Xue!
Back then, after the Xuanwu Sect incident, Xue Wanche hurriedly packed up Xinruan, not even taking care of his family, and fled to Qinling alone.
His original intention was to go to Hanzhong or Mian County through the Qinling Mountains, and then go to Shuzhong, or somewhere further south to hide, and then come back to find his family after the news passed.
But the thought is always beautiful, but the reality is always cruel!
Xue Wanche did not expect that after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, in order to show their merits to the new emperor, all the state governments rushed to send people to search for the former prince's old subordinates.
And the general who was once the most confidant of the prince, Xue Wanche, was the big fish that those people wanted to catch the most!
After several failed trips out of the mountains, Xue Wanche completely lost his way in the Qinling Mountains.
I don’t know how long I have been wandering, but today I walked out of the mountains and found myself back in Guanzhong.
"Brother Xue, come in quickly?"
A call woke up Xue Wanche. He nodded subconsciously and followed Lin San into the yard.
"Your yard looks great!"
Walking into the courtyard, Xue Wanche looked up at the layout of the courtyard and said casually.
"Haha, they are all passed down from our ancestors. Now that they have declined, these things are the only ones that have not been sold. Come on, come in and have a rest."
Lin San's heart trembled when he heard this, and he quickly stepped forward to open the door and welcomed Xue Wanche in.
