Hoop Alley.
The small dirt yard is covered with snow.
Su Chen had a small fish basket and a pair of fishing nets tied around his waist, and was about to step out of the courtyard.
But in the big house next door, there was a sound of "chichi~" coming from the sword wind. It was obvious that someone had started practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard early in the morning.
"Hey, hasn't the big house next door been empty for the past few months? When did someone suddenly live in it?"
He walked lightly to the low wall of the small earthen courtyard, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes, and cautiously looked towards the next door.
But I saw the courtyard of a mansion with gorgeous stone bricks and blue tiles next door. It was empty a few days ago. I don't know when a new family has moved in.
An ancient osmanthus tree in the center of the large courtyard is covered in silver, making it even more luxurious and extraordinary.
A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed plainly as snow, was practicing the art of swordsmanship in a spacious courtyard.
The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and shines on her beautiful cheeks, reflecting a faint blush.
Her smart eyes were as clear as a mirror, her slender jade arms were as white as jade, and she was dancing with a silver sword. As her jade wrist swung, the long sword shone with cold light, like a silver snake, with thousands of sword auras flying.
What a dazzling...sword energy!
Su Chen was surprised.
He suddenly remembered,
Yesterday evening, it seemed that dozens of luxury cars were seen driving into Gutong Alley.
Numerous servants and carriages surrounded a luxurious horse carriage, on which were a graceful and luxurious young woman and the girl in plain clothes.
I thought they were just passing by, but I didn't expect them to stay in the big house next door.
It is estimated that he is also a wealthy family from a fairy city in other places, and he recently fled to Luoyi. Such a wealthy family would probably only settle down temporarily in the private houses in this Gutong Lane, and not stay there for long!
Su Chen thought about this and felt relieved.
Such a large family has many female dependents, and they generally don't want to cause trouble and cause trouble to themselves.
He raised his head and his eyes accidentally fell on the laurel tree next to the girl in plain clothes. At this moment, there was a white-feathered Luan bird standing on the top branch of the tree.
On the crown of this Luan bird, a small cluster of noble and proud snow-white feathers are raised upwards, which is particularly eye-catching.
Its tail drags a phoenix feather that is more than a foot long. Its chest and abdomen are as white as snow. It trembles as it trembles, which is really beautiful.
"This is...Bingluan?"
He was shocked and his face changed slightly.
The ice luan on this branch is not a wild bird, but an extremely rare spiritual phoenix, which should be the natal beast tamed by the girl in plain clothes.
All the monks in the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty have the custom of keeping natal animals in captivity.
When the master breaks through to the advanced stage of the first level of cultivation, he can connect it with his own natal energy and blood, react to each other, and become a true natal beast.
This Ice Phoenix Luan is the top spiritual beast in the entire Great Ji Immortal Dynasty!
I don’t know which first-class wealthy family this girl comes from?
Su Chen stared at Feng Luan on the top of the osmanthus tree, his heart was shaken, and he couldn't help but secretly envy him.
He had just broken through to the late stage of the first realm of the Yin-Yang Sect, and was also considering raising a spiritual beast.
But the spirit beasts sold in Luoyifang City with ordinary qualifications all require hundreds of taels of silver to start. Treasure-level natal beasts are even more difficult to find, and they have a price but no market.
On a daily basis, the money required to feed the beasts is also a staggering expense.
He has no stable source of income and is living in poverty, let alone raising a natal animal.
I don’t know when and what month I will be able to obtain such a top-notch and rare natal beast.
Su Chen was standing in the corner, looking around, when Lingluan's smart eyes suddenly looked over alertly, tilting her thin neck and staring at him closely.
The girl in plain clothes was practicing in the courtyard next door. After completing a set of smooth swordsmanship, she seemed to feel something. She caught a glimpse of Su Chen staring blankly at her at the foot of the wall in the small earthen courtyard next door.
She was thin-skinned, and when the young man peered at her through the small earthen wall, she couldn't help but blush. She felt a little annoyed in her heart. She snorted softly, and the tip of the sword suddenly pierced the snowflakes on the ground.
The slender jade wrist flicked, and the tip of the sword lifted into the snowdrift.
"Pa~!"
A cloud of snow mist splashed all over the sky!
It happened to fall on the head of Su Chen who was distracted at the base of the wall of the small earth courtyard.
Fine powder of snow fell into his neck, and the coldness instantly invaded his whole body, making him shiver from the cold.
Su Chen was "teased" by her with snowflakes, and he knew that he was wrong for "spying" on the lady through the wall, so he didn't dare to say anything. His face turned red, he patted the cold snowflakes off his head, turned around and left.
The girl in white who was wielding the silver sword came to the foot of the wall.
She looked at the young man. He was wearing a washed white coarse cloth shirt with a fish basket hanging on his waist, but he had a stern and delicate appearance.
The small earth courtyard in front of you is filled with leeks and ginger seedlings, and the farm tools are neatly placed.
Different from those idle and frivolous wanderers in Luoyi City,
This young man was obviously a diligent, thrifty, and good man from a poor family, and he probably didn't mean to spy on her.
She saw that the boy in the small courtyard next door was blushing due to the snowflakes and ice, and her anger disappeared.
She had never interacted with teenagers of the same age in her mansion in Chaoge City before.
The girl in plain clothes stood in the corner with her jade toes raised, and couldn't help but smile: "Hey~! Brother, are you going out?!"
"Well, we're going out...what?"
"I want to ask you a favor!"
"What are you busy with~?"
"Brother, if you pass by the small medicine shop at the entrance of Gutong Alley, help me bring a bottle of low-level spiritual pills to feed my birds! ...Also, from the sesame cake stall at the corner of the street, bring me two sesame cakes!"
The girl in plain clothes smiled and said.
"It's so close, why don't you go out? I'm busy and have no time."
Su Chen was not angry and wanted to leave.
Although it is not a troublesome thing to buy a pill-shaobing cake on the way.
But he was also busy going out fishing and had no time to take care of this young lady's business.
“My mother doesn’t let me go out alone, and she never lets me eat street food.
Yesterday I passed by a sesame cake stall on the street and smelled the smell of sesame cakes. It was so delicious!
Brother, please bring it back quietly for me! "
The girl in plain clothes was lying on the top of the low earth wall, frowning slightly, thinking for a while, and suddenly had an idea, "By the way, my mother said that you need to pay for help.
The more you help, the more you give, and you should give twice as much!
How about you run a trip for me and I'll give you ten taels of silver for the errand? ...This convenient task will not delay your work. "
When Su Chen heard that there was an errand fee of ten taels of silver, his legs immediately stopped obeying him.
ten...?
Ten taels of silver for running errands?
He was startled.
This wealthy lady is generous with her money, she really gave too much!
Nowadays, working as a miscellaneous person in Luoyi Imperial City, even if you work hard for a day, you may not be able to earn even one tael of silver.
Isn’t it just to make money when I go fishing early in the morning?
Anyway, I would pass by the medicine shop and sesame cake stall at the corner of the street, so I just bought a bottle of elixir pills and sesame cakes for this young lady, and I could easily earn a sum of ten taels of silver for running errands.
"Really pay ten taels of black silver for running errands?"
"Yes! Are these mysterious silvers enough?!"
The girl in plain clothes nodded, took out two ingots and ten taels of black silver from a gold sachet and money bag in her arms, and threw them to Su Chen across the wall.
"Okay, that's enough! I'm going out to go fishing, and I'll bring it to you when I come back later!"
Su Chen casually took the Xuan Yin thrown by the girl next door and smiled extremely kindly for a moment.
Weighed two pieces of twenty-two pieces of Daji black silver in the palm of our hands, they were very heavy.
This young lady is really sensible!
As long as the money is in place, even trivial matters can be handled properly for her!
The "Imperial Calendar" says that the winter solstice is auspicious. We haven't even set up a net yet for fishing. As soon as we go out, we earn a sum of ten taels of silver for running errands. It is indeed a good sign!
