"The hotel is located at the end of the middle street. Going west is the back street. People with average conditions will live there. The other end of the middle street is a restricted area. Don't go there if you have nothing to do."
"There are only these three streets in Shenmu Town. You can usually go shopping in the middle street."
The streets were bustling with people, and various stalls and hawkers were scattered all over the streets. Siwen introduced them while responding to the greetings of passers-by.
"Wow! So many people! Huh? That person has a rabbit on his head. No, he has a pair of rabbit ears! Hehehehe..."
"Little sister, that's the bunny tribe. Don't let these orc tribes hear these words in the future. It's very rude."
Siwen lowered his voice and reminded.
"Oh, I'm sorry..." Lili stuck out her pink tongue and said apologetically.
"Wow sister! Look over there! There are so many beautiful things!"
Qiu Yueli took her sister and ran to a stall not far away. The stall was filled with some beautifully made gadgets.
"Oh, you two beautiful ladies, would you like some trinkets? My trinkets are definitely the most affordable and exquisite ones in town!"
The stall owner smiled with wrinkles on his face and introduced it enthusiastically.
"Okay, okay~ This is good~ Sister, look at it."
Yue Li selected two red bracelets and played with them in her hands. There were some embellishments on the bracelets, which looked pretty good.
"If you like...this way..."
The stall owner lowered his head, gritted his teeth as if he had given up something, and stretched out three fingers.
"Two hand ropes, I'll give you a discount, and I'll give you three bundles of copper! How about that?"
"That's it...Brother Yao..."
"Nicky! You are so evil! Beautiful lady, the jewelry I have here is more exquisite than his! And two of them only require two bundles of copper! Don't you come and take a look?"
Just as Qiu Yueli looked at Chen Yao longingly, another stall owner next door shouted loudly.
"Mattel! Stop ruining my business! Madam, please don't listen to his nonsense. I only charge you two bundles of copper and give you one more!"
“I’m cheaper!!”
............................
The group of people watched the two of them compete back and forth. In the end, Chen Yao successfully spent a bundle of copper to pick five gadgets.
"Thank you for coming, please go slowly~"
"Is business competition so fierce now?"
Chen Yao touched his nose and looked at the puppy pendant bracelet that Lili picked for himself.
"Well...after all, Shenmu Town is only a small town with a radius of dozens of kilometers, and these things are not valuable."
"so..."
"Brother, help me..."
"Okay, okay, I'll tie it for you."
Chen Yao knelt down and carefully tied the bracelet on Yina's hand.
"Okay, does it look good?"
"Um."
"Brother Siwen, is there any place that sells clothes near here? It's more affordable."
Chen Yao picked up the girl, looked around and said, although the clothes on these people could not be said to be tattered, compared to the pedestrians around them, they were indeed a bit rudimentary.
"Oh, I know there is a store that sells both men's and women's styles. It's located near a back street and is quite affordable. I go there to buy clothes for my son. Do you want to take a look?"
"Go and have a look."
"OK."
"By the way, how old is your son?"
"Eight years old."
"Hey, when will we meet?"
"Well... there's always a chance."
................................................................. ...
Siwen led a few people into the back street, and after passing through several alleys, there were almost no pedestrians at all.
"Grandma Lin! Are you there?"
Siwen shouted to a shop that looked to be a bit old on the surface.
"Oh~ It's Siwen."
A naked grandmother walked out of the shop.
"Granny Lin, they are my friends. I brought them here today to buy some clothes...Chen Yao, this is Granny Lin Xiang."
"Hello Granny Lin."
"Hello, young man. Judging from your outfit, you came from a village far away, right?"
"Yes grandma."
"Haha, come in, it's said inside."
Grandma turned around and entered the shop. After groping for a while, she turned on the light with a click, and the room suddenly became bright.
"I usually turn off the lights when there are no customers. Since I'm an old woman, it's a waste to leave them on."
"Wow! So many beautiful clothes! This dress is so beautiful, this one, this one too! Brother Yao~"
In the small house of dozens of square meters, all kinds of clothes were hung on the surrounding walls, and the wooden booths were neatly stacked with clothes of various colors. Qiu Yueli spotted a few beautiful dresses at a glance and hugged Chen Yao. The arms act coquettishly.
"Well... you guys go and choose a few things you like."
"Yeah! Brother Yao is the best!"
Yue Li stood on tiptoes, her delicate lips touching Chen Yao's face like a dragonfly. This action made Chen Yao's face blush and his body stiffen.
"Ahem...Grandma, do you have any...underwear for girls?"
"Yes. Who needs it? I'll measure the size first."
"Yunxi, take them to see the sizes and choose a few sets."
"Um."
While Yun Xi and the others were choosing clothes, Chen Yao also took Xiao Hu and started wandering around.
The two of them first selected a few sets of casual clothes, and then went to find grandma to get the right size.
"Um..."
Chen Yao suddenly stopped in front of a wooden cabinet that was as tall as one person. This wooden cabinet was the only closed container in the shop, which made people a little concerned.
"Brother?"
"Crunch~"
Chen Yao didn't reply, and directly reached out and opened the cabinet door. There was a set of clothes placed in the wooden cabinet, in a standard gentleman's style.
The brown coat was paired with a short plaid vest, with a white shirt underneath, and a black top hat hanging on a hook on the cabinet wall. He was immediately attracted to it.
"It's not appropriate, brother. The cabinet door is closed, maybe grandma doesn't want people to know."
Jiang Hu approached and whispered.
"Young man, do you like this suit?"
"I'm sorry, grandma, I opened this cabinet without permission."
"It doesn't matter. If you like it, I can sell it to you at a discount."
Grandma Lin tremblingly took off the clothes and laid them flat on the wooden counter.
"This suit was originally intended to be given to the old man next door. He was the previous captain of the guard, named Duns. We have known each other for many years."
"His children are not around all the time, so I am the only one who chats with him when he has nothing to do. He told me two years ago that he likes clothes like this."
Grandma Lin stroked her clothes gently, her eyes a little dazed.
"What happened next?"
Chen Yao had some vague guesses.
"I spent a whole year making this suit, but just when I was about to give it to him last year, he... left."
"It's...sad."
"It doesn't matter, kid. That's how life is. Whether it's birth, old age, illness or death, you have to face it bravely."
"So, if you really like this suit, I can sell it to you at a low price, but you must promise to take good care of it. This will fulfill my wish, old lady."
"Thank you grandma, I will definitely take good care of you."
"Grandma, we still have these clothes. Please bring us the right size."
"good."
"These clothes will give you a total of 15 silver coins."
"so cheap?!"
Chen Yao looked at the fully stocked counter in front of him. There were at least a dozen sets of casual clothes, plus one set of coats and six sets of women's underwear.
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you thank Granny Lin?"
Siwen slapped Chen Yao on the back of the head.
"Thank you grandma, this is the money to pay you."
Chen Yao took out 15 pieces of silver binding from the binding ring and placed them on the counter.
"Haha, you're welcome. Come back to me next time you need clothes..."
Speaking of this, Granny Lin's eyes drifted towards Xiaohu from time to time.
Chen Yao noticed that Grandma had always cared about Xiaohu from the moment she entered the shop.
"Grandma, do you have anything else? Just ask."
Chen Yao finally asked.
"What's the name of the child next to you?"
"His name is Jiang Hu."
"Okay, good boy, come here and let me take a good look."
Grandma Lin's sudden change suddenly made Jiang Hu feel at a loss.
"This, brother..."
"Go ahead."
Xiaohu walked up to Granny a little shyly. Granny Lin was not tall and only reached Xiaohu's chest.
Grandma stretched out her hand with kindness on her face, wanting to touch his face. Considering Grandma's height, Xiaohu even bowed slightly.
"My grandma lost her husband in her early years. When she was young, she also had a son named Huzi, but... then one day Huzi was picked up by a wild beast when he was playing outside the town. When he was found, he was already... Alas!"
Siwen had a sad look on some of his faces.
"Like! Really like a tiger."
"Grandma, my name is Jiang Hu, you can call me Xiaohu."
Faced with Granny Lin's loving caress, Xiaohu could only respond calmly.
"Okay, okay. Xiaohu, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to grandma."
"I understand, thank you grandma."
................................................................. ...
Until the group of people walked out of the alley, Xiaohu still looked a little unnatural.
"Xiaohu, don't take it too seriously... Granny Lin may think of you as her late son."
Siwen comforted him a little embarrassedly.
"I know, actually I don't have much impression of my mother..."
Xiaohu scratched his head and smiled.
"That's good, um... tomorrow is Soul Binding Day, which is the day for everyone to pay homage together. Saria's burial day is also scheduled for tomorrow. I will inform you then. Okay, I have to go back and get busy. You can go shopping on your own."
Siwen said hello and turned around to get into an alley.
"Sorry to trouble you, Brother Siwen."
"fine."
"Brother Yao, brother Yao~ I want to go back to the hotel! I want to go back and try on new clothes! Hehe~"
"Okay, you guys go back first and I'll take a look around."
Chen Yao rubbed Lili's little head lovingly, which made her dissatisfied.
"By the way, here, buy whatever you like when you see it on the road. It should be enough to spend."
Chen Yao took Qiu Yueli's little hand, took out a silver-binding coin and put it in his palm. This was the only change he had. Apart from that, he was so poor that he only had five gold-binding coins left. He didn't dare to spend it randomly.
"Thank you, Brother Yao! Hehe."
Watching several people walking towards the hotel, Chen Yao also wandered towards the restricted area of Zhong Street.
