After sunrise, Song Ciwan said goodbye to the big white goose and went out to work, still taking her umbrella with her.
Walking through the alleys, I watched the fireworks in the world with my eyes and listened to the gossips of the neighbors.
For example: "Guo Laosan's family is also miserable. The pillar of support is gone. After a funeral, more than half of the fifty-tael pension was reduced. The elder brother of his family dropped out of school. Oops!"
Guo Laosan, also a fast-moving clerk, also died not long ago while catching monsters.
His funeral was a big fuss, and the pension was exactly the same as when Song Youde died, also fifty taels!
Whenever Song Ciwan heard news about his family, he would always stay a few more steps and listen a few more words.
Neighbors said: "What misfortune is there? How can it be as miserable as the Song family? The eldest son of the Guo family just can no longer study. As for the Song family, Song Youde died, his mother-in-law also died, and the remaining little girl was alone, and the engagement was annulled , I still owe a lot of debt, and I have no choice but to work in the laundry room to pay off the debt..."
"That's true. How can we get better after entering the laundry room? In two or three years, sooner or later, one of us will die. Tsk, tsk, this is going to kill the whole family!"
"Haha, if you ask me, it's all Mrs. Song Youde's fault. She got sick when the man died. She just got sick, and she spent so much money on medical treatment! If it hadn't been like this, the Song family wouldn't have owed that ass debt……"
"Bah! How can you talk! Who can think of being sick or something?"
Aunt Jinhua came out with a basket on her arm. She opened her mouth and spat, and spoke in a loud voice: "You are all so kind, why didn't you lend the Song family more money? You may not have more than dozens of taels of silver. That person There’s no need to die, and there’s no need for you to talk sarcastically here, right?”
Aunt Ge, who was spat on by Aunt Jinhua, put her hands on her hips. When she was about to retort to Aunt Jinhua, she suddenly felt a chill on her back.
The chill was so frightening that she couldn't help but look back, and when she saw it, she met Song Ciwan's dark and deep eyes.
It was really... like a dry well, like a cold pool, and even like a bottomless pit so deep that it was impossible to touch the bottom. As soon as Aunt Ge looked at her, she felt inexplicably flustered, and she opened her mouth: "You, you... you are so kind, I won't talk to you. Say more!”
Before she finished speaking, Aunt Ge wiped her hands on the apron in front of her and left in a panic.
As she walked, she couldn't help but mutter: I'm not afraid of anyone, I don't mind arguing with that unlucky dying person... Huh, huh!
Aunt Ge left, and the scale of heaven and earth in front of Song Ciwan reappeared.
[Human desires, greed, anger, and fear can be used to trade for three or two coins. 】
Aunt Ge actually provided Song Ciwan with a favor worth thirty-two cents, and in addition to the two emotions of anger and fear, the favor she provided actually included "greed".
What is greed? Why is there greed? Where does this "greed" come from?
Song Ciwan looked at Aunt Ge's back and thought for a moment.
Aunt Jinhua saw Song Ciwan and hurriedly stepped forward to express some concern. Song Ciwan replied to her: "Don't worry, Auntie, I'm fine. When I save more money, I will pay off the debt at the end of the month."
Aunt Jinhua immediately said "Ouch": "Why are you so anxious, kid? Who doesn't know your situation? Who can push you? Don't let this happen! You have saved the money, so why not replenish your health?" Hurry out of that realm in two months..."
Song Ci listened to her chattering quietly, and after she finished speaking, he asked softly: "Auntie, do you think that if my family had more than a few dozen taels of money, would my mother not have died?"
Aunt Jinhua choked immediately, and after a moment she sighed: "Who knows, good child, let's not think too much about the past. This person still has to look back."
Song Ciwan nodded and said, "Yes, I will, don't worry, Auntie."
At this point in the conversation, there isn't much else to say.
But what is very interesting is that the scales of heaven and earth reappeared at this time, and a group of seven emotions and six desires from Aunt Jinhua were collected: [Human desires, love, worry, and fear, can be sold for seven or three coins. 】
Aunt Jinhua's emotions towards Song Ciwan at this moment are very complicated. In addition to "love", there are also "worry" and "fear". What is the reason for this?
Song Ciwan already knew that the Heaven and Earth Scale would not collect other people's emotions at will. The prerequisite for collection must be that the person has strong emotional fluctuations due to Song Ciwan. Only when these emotions reach a certain amount will the Heaven and Earth Scale begin to collect emotions. .
In other words, in daily interpersonal interactions, it is actually difficult for general emotions to meet the collection standards.
The performances of Aunt Jinhua and Aunt Ge today are thought-provoking.
Song Ciwan actually had some guesses in her mind. She sighed secretly and said goodbye to Aunt Jinhua.
This time, Aunt Jinhua didn't chase her and stuff her pancakes.
Song Ciwan went to work as usual, washing away demons and collecting anger. After work, she did not go home directly, nor did she go to the vegetable market. Instead, she used a drop in the ocean to find a quiet corner where no one was, and took it out from the cave space of the scale of heaven and earth. Put on an ordinary Gebu men's clothing.
She changed her hair into a man bun and painted her face yellow with dark makeup. In this way, a thin man with a mediocre face appeared in the alley.
With a drop of blessing in the ocean, Song Ciwan slowly walked out of the alley with this image, and then merged into the crowd without attracting attention like every mediocre person in the world.
She went to Qianming Street, where there were several spiritual material shops near the Demon Refining Platform.
The so-called spiritual materials store mainly sells various spiritual items, but also some low-level spiritual talismans, or low-level magic tools that can also be used by ordinary people.
Of course, high-end people actually sell them, but Song Ciwan has no way of understanding how high-end the so-called "high-end" can be.
She chose a spiritual materials store called Minji and stood outside to observe it for a while.
There were some warriors who didn't look very wealthy coming in and out, and some well-dressed rich kids whizzed past with their slaves and servants. After a while, the Min Ji Magic Artifact Shop became a little quieter, and Song Ciwan raised her feet and walked in silently.
There was a clerk lazily sweeping away the dust with a duster in his hand. When Song Ciwan walked into the store, he didn't even raise his eyes.
Until Song Ciwan asked: "Man, do you have century-old peach trees?"
The man straightened up suddenly and noticed someone coming in.
There was a smile on his face: "Hey, it's a hundred-year-old peach tree. I usually pay one tael. How many taels do you want, sir?"
The usual money is one tael of silver. In this way, it takes ten taels of silver to buy one pound of century-old peach wood.
Compared to ordinary people, this is a truly sky-high price!
However, peach wood has the effect of warding off evil spirits, and century-old peach wood is even more rare. The price cannot be said to be unreasonable.
Song Ciwan just felt for a moment that he had received a windfall of 350 taels previously. He thought it was already good, but unexpectedly he was still poor!
Even though he was poor, he had to buy something. Song Ciwan immediately spent a hundred taels of silver to buy ten kilograms of peach wood.
Then he asked about the price of century-old plum wood. Plum wood is not as expensive as peach wood, only five taels per catty. Song Ciwan also bought ten catties.
In this way, the peach and plum trees were finally in hand. After returning, Song Ciwan could start carving puppets and practice the magic of life substitution. Li Daitao was frozen!
