Zhang Xiaozu opened his mouth first to break the silence, then he felt a little uneasy and looked around nervously, not daring to look at Qi Yoyo.
Although he didn't think he was at fault, after all, he saw things he shouldn't have seen and touched things he shouldn't have touched. As a result, facing Qi Yoyo alone, he couldn't help but feel weak, as if he had been caught stealing something.
Qi Yoyo was still a little shy and embarrassed at first, but after seeing Zhang Xiaozhu's uneasy look, she couldn't help but smile, relaxed, and said: "If the young master hadn't risked his life to save him, the little girl would be a wisp of blood now." Dead soul, as the saying goes, the grace of saving one's life is beyond the heavens. The young lady has no time to thank the young master, so how can she dare to blame the young master. She has not thanked the young master in person until now. The young lady feels really ashamed. I hope the young master will forgive you."
After saying that, he bowed down to Xiaopeng Zhang Yingying and said: "Thank you very much, Master, for saving my life. I will carry the weight and bow to you when I return to Yancheng."
Zhang Xiaozu hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, and said: "Girl, there is no need to be polite, please get up quickly. In fact, I just tried my best to help Brother Zhou and the sword in the girl's hand to save the girl. So girl, I really want to thank you, We should thank Brother Zhou and the girl for her own sword."
"Young Master Zhou wants to thank you, Tai Ah also wants to thank you, and I also need to thank you. Under those circumstances, Master Zhou dared to go into the underground river with Tai Ah, regardless of life and death. He is so heroic and courageous, which is admirable." Qi Yoyo said in a sincere tone. .
Zhang Xiaozhu was quite surprised. He thought Qi Yoyo left him alone to remind or directly warn him not to talk nonsense when he went out. After all, a woman's reputation is more important than her life, so everyone must be extremely cautious. , but I didn’t expect Qi Yoyo to thank you so sincerely.
After a pause, Qi Yoyo continued: "I deeply apologize for Chunlan and Xia Zhu's offense to the young master. I will definitely punish them severely when I return."
Zhang Xiaozu waved his hand and said: "No need. I just said that if you don't forgive or hold grudges, just pretend it never happened."
"The young master is so impressive that the little girl admires him." Qi Yoyo complimented before straightening up.
Zhang Xiaozu's eyes fell on the sword in Qi Yoyo's hand and asked with interest: "Is its name Tai'a?"
"Yes." Qi Yoyo nodded.
"It's awesome!" Zhang Xiaozu praised, "If it hadn't shown its power at the critical moment and penetrated the female ghost's head with a sword, the girl and I would have died in the underground river. I'd like to thank it now."
Qi Yoyo looked at Tai'a Sword with pity, a look of shame suddenly appeared on his face, and he sighed: "It's because I'm not good at studying and the sword is covered in dust. Otherwise, with the power of Tai'a, how would the monsters and ghosts dare to get even half a step closer?"
"The girl is talented and intelligent. I believe that given time, Tai'a will be able to shine!" Zhang Xiaozu said.
Qi Yoyo pursed her lips and smiled, not modestly, and said, "I think so too."
After saying that, his eyes turned from Tai'ajian to Zhang Xiaopeng, two faint red clouds suddenly flew up on his cheeks, and he said softly: "My little lady has an unkind request, and I hope that the young master will fulfill it."
"Girl, please tell me. If it's something Zhang can do, I won't shirk it." Zhang Xiaopou didn't dare to finish his words.
"I beg you, Master, to sell the spring dew to the little girl. The little girl will be very grateful." Qi Yoyo pleaded.
Although she didn't know why Zhou Jianlai deliberately gave the spring dew to Zhang Xiaopou, the spring dew was something she was determined to get, so no matter what Zhou Jianlai and Zhang Xiaopou's plan was, she would try her best to fight for it.
As for why she didn't say anything just now, it was because she felt it was easier to talk to Zhang Xiaozu alone than in front of Zhou Jianlai. To put it simply, Zhang Xiaozhu has a simple mind, has no desire for gain, and is easy to talk to. To put it simply, Zhang Xiaopeng is stupid and easy to deceive.
Qi Yoyo knew that Zhang Xiaozu was stupid and easy to deceive, and Zhou Jianlai didn't know that, but he still gave Chunlu to Zhang Xiaozu because he knew that Qi Yoyo was not a villain who was unscrupulous for profit, and she would definitely do it. Buying at a suitable price, or exchanging terms of equal value, may be slightly lower than the market price, but it is much safer than three young guys with no background going to the market to sell spring dew. Knowing the value of spring dew can make many seemingly sanctimonious guys commit murder and swindling.
In addition, it can also make Qi Yoyo owe Zhang Xiaozhu a small favor, and maybe it can also increase Zhang Xiaozhu's favorability in Qi Yoyo's heart. If he wins the favor of a beautiful woman, it will lead to a beautiful marriage. Yet?
If Qi Yoyo knew that Zhou Jianlai had such beautiful thoughts, she would definitely punch him in the face without hesitation and let him know why the flowers are so red.
But it has to be said that Zhou Jianlai is still shrewd.
"What's the use of spring dew, girl?" Zhang Xiaozhu frowned slightly, because when he was eating just now, Zhou Jianlai had specifically whispered to him that spring dew was very, very expensive, and he felt that Qi Yoyo was already flawlessly beautiful, so there was no need at all. Spend this money.
Afraid that Qi Yoyo might misunderstand, he hurriedly explained: "I think the girl is already beautiful and there is no need to spend such unjust money."
"Spring dew can eliminate scars." Qi Yoyo whispered with red cheeks.
Zhang Xiaozu was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of realization, and the hideous scar on Qi Yoyosu's chest appeared in his mind.
Seeing the change in Zhang Xiaozhu's expression, Qi Yoyo suddenly felt ashamed and angry. She said that spring dew can eliminate scars, just to test Zhang Xiaozhu's reaction. In the end, Zhang Xiaozhu gave her the reaction she least wanted to see, and she couldn't help but feel He cursed angrily: "This bastard really saw everything!"
Seeing Qi Yoyo suddenly glaring at him, Zhang Xiaozu felt guilty and hurriedly changed his gaze. He coughed twice and took out the small porcelain bottle of spring dew from his arms. He took two steps forward and handed it to Qi Yoyo, saying: "Girl, take it if it's useful." Just use it, money—money—"
He casually wanted to say that there was no need for money or anything else, but the word "money" suddenly stuck as he said it, because he suddenly remembered that Zhou Jianlai had specifically told him that spring dew was expensive, and he seemed to have expected that Qi Yoyo would come to him to ask for spring dew. It is very possible that he also expected him to give it to others generously, so he specially warned him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but blush, and the word "money" stuck in his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"I will give you a reasonable price for the money." Qi Yoyo saw Zhang Xiaozu's embarrassment, smiled, took the porcelain bottle that Zhang Xiaozu handed to him, and at the same time took Zhang Xiaozu's words to resolve his embarrassment.
"Yeah, okay." Zhang Xiaozu was honest and didn't pretend to be polite to Qi Yoyo anymore.
"I don't have any money with me, so I can only give it to you when I get back." Qi Yoyo put the small porcelain bottle away.
"No problem." Zhang Xiaozu said cheerfully.
"Aren't you afraid that I will turn my back on you?" Qi Yoyo asked with a smile.
"It's just four pieces of spring dew. Even if it is priceless, I don't think it is as valuable as the reputation of the eldest lady of your city lord's palace, right?" Zhang Xiaozu asked.
"Only four?" Qi Yoyo glared, "I think you don't know the value of spring dew at all. Let's put it this way, if I weren't afraid of delaying the water source, even if I knew that this cave was dangerous and dangerous, I would take the risk to look for drought. Tie. If I spread the news in Yancheng that there is a drought in this cave, do you believe that all the major forces in Yancheng will fight over the ownership of this cave?"
"As for it?" Zhang Xiaozhu felt that Qi Yoyo was exaggerating.
"Very good." Qi Yoyo said with absolute certainty, "Five years ago, the auction house in Yancheng City sold a piece of Spring Dew, and the transaction price was thirty million taels."
"——" Zhang Xiaozu was dumbfounded.
"Wait a minute." Qi Yoyo suddenly frowned. She suddenly remembered that Niu Dawa clearly said that he had found five terriers, but why did Zhang Xiaozu say four pieces of spring dew and the other one? Don't you want to sell it to her? So he asked: "I heard from Da Wa that you found a total of five crocodiles, so why are there only four spring dews?"
Zhang Xiaozhu was stunned when he heard this, and then showed an expression of extreme regret on his face. Thinking that the three of them had eaten 30 million taels of silver in one bite, he felt that he could not breathe smoothly.
"Eat--eat!" Zhang Xiaopou replied with a bitter look on his face.
boom!
Without thinking, Qi Yoyo punched Zhang Xiaozu in the eye, gritted his teeth and said, "Prodigal son!"
"Fight—good fight!" Zhang Xiaozhu covered his eyes and shouted.
"Then another punch?" Qi Yoyo rolled his eyes.
"Yes - it hurts a little!" Zhang Xiaozu was so frightened that he took a step back, but he couldn't hold his breath in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said: "Zhou Jianlai and Niu Dawa also ate. After catching up with them later, you can give me some They also give me a punch."
"——" Qi yo yo.
Qi Yoyo walked to the wall and pulled out the torch inserted in the crack of the stone wall, and said: "Let's go, catch up with them quickly."
"I'll do it." Zhang Xiaozu stepped forward and took the torch. Although he had never learned gentlemanly etiquette, he also knew that it was unmanly to let a lady carry a torch on her way.
Zhang Xiaopou was in front, and Qi Yoyo followed ten steps behind.
"Zhang Xiaozu, I want to ask you a question?"
"explain."
"Would you like a woman with flaws? Just like the scars on my body, if they can't be removed, they will stay with me for a lifetime. Then will you like me? Are you willing to marry me and spend a lifetime together? You - -Don’t get me wrong, because this question has been bothering me, and I can’t find the right person to ask it, and you happened to have seen my hideous scars, so I just want to ask, can you men accept people with body defects? A woman?"
"You city people have complex thoughts, and I can't answer you. But if you were in our countryside, I can tell you for sure that someone will really like you, but the premise is that you must be kind-hearted, diligent and thrifty. Although our country men are also I like beautiful women, but I prefer those with a kind heart, because people with beautiful hearts will not live long if their hearts are not kind.”
"Are you comforting me?" Qi Yoyo smiled bitterly, feeling that Zhang Xiaozhu's words were too perfunctory.
Zhang Xiaozhu was silent for a while, and then said: "My wife has a black birthmark on her face, which is right in the middle of her face. It is very annoying, but I never think she is ugly. She is kind-hearted, hard-working and capable, optimistic and cheerful, and has a beautiful heart." She is so skillful and in my heart she will always be the most beautiful woman in the world!”
"She's very lucky -" Qi Yoyo was about to say that she was very lucky to have met a man who loved her, but suddenly she thought that Zhang Xiaozu's Liujia Village was massacred by big-toothed dogs, and the wife he was talking about seemed to be called Que'er. The girl was also brutally murdered.
After being silent for a long time, Qi Yoyo suddenly burst into laughter and asked with red cheeks: "Zhang Xiaozhu, if I haven't married yet at the age of thirty, but suddenly want to get married and have children, and you happen to not have a wife either, I will get married." How about you?"
"Miss Qi, I suddenly remembered something." Zhang Xiaozu suddenly said.
"What's the matter?" Qi Yoyo asked curiously.
"Actually, we found a total of six terriers." Zhang Xiaozu said.
"Huh?" Qi Yoyo was confused.
"But one of them was completely burnt by us. The spring dew was burnt and the meat was not even eaten. It's a pity."
"Zhang Xiaopeng, wait a moment, I have something to tell you." Qi Yoyo whispered softly, biting her back molars.
"——" Zhang Xiaozu shuddered and hurriedly quickened his pace.
As soon as night falls, every house in the eight northern cities closes its doors, bolts the doors, seals the windows, and puts knives under pillows.
The streets were deserted, and even those fleeing were looking for places to hide.
If an uninformed person saw this scene, they would probably think it was a dead city.
Of course, this is not a dead city, but many people have died in this city recently, and they all died at night. Everyone died miserably, with their brains hollowed out and their blood sucked.
The detective hunted for the murderer day and night. His eyes were bloodshot, his mouth had blisters, and the soles of his shoes were worn out several times, but he couldn't catch a single hair for several days.
The whole city was on alert, but the murderer was unscrupulous and started killing every night, from the east to the west of the city, regardless of men or women, young or old, rich or poor, he seemed to kill whenever he got the chance. Every night for several nights in a row. Two to three hundred people died tragically, so that everyone in the entire northern eight cities was in panic and self-danger. At night, there was a noise, every house was closed, and it was hard to sleep for a long night.
Some people say that the big-toothed dog has sneaked into Beibacheng, committing murders and causing chaos everywhere.
But more people said it was haunted because someone saw an extremely scary ghost. It is said that the body is covered with scales, the top of the head is hairless, the ears are wide, the eyeballs are protruding, the nostrils are everted, the mouth has no lips, the teeth are long and thin, the arms are long and the legs are short, the front claws are sharp, and the back claws have five fingers. They are very similar. Only hell demon.
"Boss, does this old trick work?" In a yard in the east of the city, several police officers hid behind the firewood piled in the corner of the yard, looking at a man in the yard holding a mahogany sword and shaking the Soul Soul Bell on the altar. An old man who jumps up and down and mutters something.
"Do you have a better way?" Zhao Gang, the catcher, asked with a glare. He had not slept for three days and three nights. His eyes were bloodshot and his lips had blisters on top of each other. He was haggard and exhausted.
