The grain and seed shop is very big.
The decoration also looks very stylish.
It is one of the few complete and high-end shops on this street.
There are no customers in the shop at the moment. Bags of rice and noodles are full on the shelves, and various agricultural seeds are placed in the corner.
The counter is on the side of the shop near the door. Behind the counter, a fat man in his forties is lowering his head and dialing the calculator. He should be the shopkeeper. Hearing someone coming in, he lazily raised his eyelids and said coldly and arrogantly, "Don't look at it, our shop is You can't afford the things in there, and we don't give alms to beggars in this store. If you want to rob, think about whether you can get out of this street first."
Su Da, "..."
The way he was dressed, his thin gray coat had holes in it, and there were many patches on it. It would be an exaggeration to call him a beggar.
He glanced at the little boy in his arms and remembered that there were so many people in his family. He didn't back down after all. He stepped forward and mustered up the courage to say, "Shopkeeper, I want to find some vegetable seeds. It doesn't take much. Just a handful of cabbage and radish seeds will do." ——”
"A bag of vegetable seeds costs thirty coppers. If you have money, buy it and get out." The shopkeeper interrupted him, seeming impatient.
This price is ridiculously high.
"I don't have any money. Can I use something to trade with you?" Su Da didn't say much. He took out a cloth bag from the inside of his backpack, opened it and put it on the counter.
Three dried hares were processed extremely well. Each one has a uniform color, attractive aroma, and is large in size.
The shopkeeper squinted his eyes, finally stopped dialing the abacus and raised his head, a pair of fine eyes flashing, "The tenants have no land, and you want to grow vegetables. Are you a retail farmer outside the city? You can hunt such good rabbits in this situation. Good luck."
"It's really good luck. My family doesn't want to eat it, so I want to change some vegetable seeds and grow some vegetables for myself. Can the shopkeeper do it for me and change some vegetable seeds for me?"
"Three rabbits are exchanged for three small packets of vegetable seeds. I don't want to just leave the things and go away." The shopkeeper smiled.
This is the meaning of stealing at the slightest disagreement.
Su Da face twitched, gritted his teeth, and admitted.
The shopkeeper obviously saw that he was being bullied by others and was unable to resist. The dried rabbit he took out was large and good-looking. In the past, in Dahuai Village, this kind of game was sold to rich households in the town, and you could easily get one. Forty or fifty copper plates.
But people have to bow their heads under the eaves. If they argue with each other, there may be more trouble.
Su Da just wanted to take the vegetable seeds and leave quickly.
The shopkeeper quickly brought the vegetable seeds over, and three small packets of seeds gathered together could not fill the palm of Su's hand.
Tianbao kept watching quietly. She didn't understand the prices and market conditions, so she felt that it must be her father who lost money for such a big rabbit for so little.
"Ah!" She was unhappy, stretched out her little hand and hit the shopkeeper on the head, just like when she saw those people fighting on the street just now, expressing dissatisfaction with each other.
The shopkeeper brought the things over and stood in front of Su Da. The little cub was at the right height in the carrier. This paw directly slapped the shopkeeper on the face.
There was a crisp sound, and the fat face was crooked by the slap, and the small five paw prints quickly appeared, swollen and high.
The shop was deathly silent.
It took the shopkeeper a while to come to his senses. He turned his head stiffly and stared at the little boy with a fierce look in his eyes. His head was almost knocked off!
Su Da, "..."
Su's thighs shook and she ran away.
"Bao! My little ancestor! How can you hit someone! You are so strong!"
Dad can't stand it!
From behind, the shopkeeper roared. Su Da didn't dare to say anything and ran faster with all his strength.
For the first time in my life, I ran as fast as smoke.
Then another scene appeared on the smoky street. A tall and thin man carried a baby in his arms and ran until his butt was smoking. A group of people from behind were chasing after him fiercely with sticks.
This kind of scene is commonplace for people in Fengyun City. They do whatever they have to do, and those who have some free time get interested and squat on the street to join in the fun.
"You're running the wrong way. There's a dead end over there. Run to the right."
"You're from outside the city? You're so brave, you dare to cause trouble in the Bai family's grain store, hahaha! You guys from the Bai family, you can kill the big one, but keep the little one, and you can get three taels of silver when you send it to Chun Niang!"
"Warrior, I will collect the corpse for you later. My bun shop is short of meat!"
"Oops, I ran to the wrong place again. That's the territory of Pier 12. Keep strangers out of the way. There's no turning back!"
Su Da didn't have time to think too much at the moment. His mind went blank while he was running for his life. He subconsciously followed the instructions of those people. When he found that there was no way in front of him, his whole body became cold.
Outside the dead end, the arrogant laughter of the people on the street could be heard in the distance, "Hahahaha! I was fooled! Oh, I laughed to death! From the Bai family, remember to say a nice word for me, Mr. Wang, San, in front of shopkeeper Bai when you look back. I’ll give you a discount when I go buy rice and noodles this time!”
Su Da gasped and his face turned pale. He hugged his daughter tightly and turned around. The pursuers were already close to him.
The ferocity and hostility of these people was no weaker than that of the horse bandits they met earlier.
This place is a dead end, the alley is narrow and the walls are high, making it impossible to escape. Su Da knows that he can't escape.
"It's no harm to young children. I accept the beating. Please don't hurt my daughter." After a humble plea with a trembling voice, he hugged his daughter tighter and turned his back in despair, protecting her between his body and the wall.
The ones who were chasing him were the grain store clerk and his thugs. They had to sneak for a few streets before they were blocked. Their anger soared. Without saying a word, they raised their wooden sticks and beat them down. "There are so many nonsense words even when you are about to die! Do you recognize it or not?" Gotta die!”
Su Da tried his best to wrap his daughter in his arms, using his body as a human shield, hoping to protect her daughter.
The sound of the stick breaking through the air was sharp and cold. Before the stick fell on her body, Su Da kissed her daughter's soft hair, and a drop of warm tears fell on her hair.
A small teardrop, but the warmth instantly invaded Tianbao's limbs and bones, and finally gathered in her heart, and then bulged and exploded in her small chest.
That is fatherly love.
Heavy and majestic.
Tianbao's eyes seemed to be infected by the warmth, and they suddenly became hot and scalded with liquid.
She actually doesn't understand what father's love is, let alone why she becomes so strange.
All she knows is that those who dare to bully her father will die.
Everything is nothing but lightning.
Su Da waited and waited, but the wooden stick that broke through the air did not fall on him for a long time. As soon as doubts came to his mind, a slightly familiar voice came into his ears, clear and gentle, "Shopkeeper Bai, this favor I asked for today, Huo Thank you later."
"..." Su Da turned around suddenly.
There were still those pursuing soldiers in front of them, but they were all as stiff as mummies and unable to move, with their sticks still held high in the air, and their ferocious and fierce faces with frozen expressions, which looked very funny at first glance.
Moving his eyes back, he saw two figures standing side by side not far from the alley entrance.
Wearing a sky-green gown, he is slender and thin, with handsome appearance and calm posture. He is his new neighbor named Huo next door.
The other person I had just met not long ago was the shopkeeper of the grain and seed shop. He was wearing a Chu-colored long gown and mandarin jacket. He was plump and handsome, but his face was not very good.
"What are you still waiting for? Hurry over there!" Su Da was stunned when another familiar voice shouted above his head.
He quickly raised his head, and on top of the high wall, Madam Huo stood with her arms folded across her chest in a heroic posture, her raised eyebrows full of impatience.
Su Da, "..."
It turns out that Mrs. Huo can fly.
