Chapter 4
To save lives.
Xie San took away all the iron tools at home, but the woodcutter was still in the boy's hand, and he couldn't pull it out no matter what.
The boy woke up at noon.
This time I didn't run away either, lying on the bed, staring at the sky, motionless.
Xie San summoned up his courage and put the water on the bedside. The bowl made a "pop" sound on the bedside, and the boy rolled his eyes and looked over.Xie San was so frightened that he jumped to the door of the room, waiting for Ai Ai's explanation: "Young man, you just have a fever, drink plenty of water, and you will recover quickly."
I don't know if the boy heard this sentence.
After a while, the boy slowly got up, and reached for the bowl with trembling fingers. The bowl was dangling in the air, and most of the tea spilled out.
Xie San couldn't bear to see it, stepped forward to hold the bowl, and moved it to the boy's mouth.The boy seemed to be extremely thirsty, and he couldn't wait to swallow it.The sound of a calf drinking water came out of his throat, gurgling.
After drinking the water, the boy took a long breath, then looked at him, and said bluntly, "More."
"Okay." Anyway, water doesn't cost money.
Xie San quickly scooped up two scoops of water from the water jar, put it in a teapot and brought it over, poured another bowl for him, brought it to the boy's mouth, and poured it down for him.
The young man drank three bowls in one go, seemed to have regained some energy, and looked up at Jie San.Xie Sanjue felt that the boy's eyes seemed to be moist and moist, big and round because of drinking these few sips of water.
"What's your name?" Xie San asked.
A dazed look appeared in the boy's eyes, and he seemed to understand the question after a while. He said, "Ubal."
"Ubar." Xie San said once, "Ubal, my name is Xie San."
"I know. You, I said it." The boy said.
"Oh yes..." Xie San recalled the scene of the young boy riding on him in the morning, and felt a little embarrassed, so he raised his hand to scratch his head, but he couldn't touch anything. Then he remembered that the boy cut off his bun down.
Now Xie San's head shape is like a ring, with long sides and a middle section that can't even be tied up.
"Next time, water." Ubal seemed dissatisfied, "I drink it when it's hot."
Xie San raised his eyebrows: "Okay."
It's just that he can't light a fire.
"Tea," Ubar said.
Solution [-]: "...I don't have money to buy tea."
The boy's face suddenly turned cold again, and he came out with a hatchet and shook it: "tea."
Xie San hurriedly backed away, leaned against the wall and said with a dry smile, "Okay, chachacha."
Ubal seemed to be satisfied with this, shrank back into the quilt, and said, "Hungry."
"what?"
"I'm hungry."
"Then I'll get you something to eat?" Jie San asked cautiously.
Ubar was lying on the bed, and the old man said, "It needs to be hot."
"...Okay, it's hot." Jie San came out dumbfounded.
Then he looked up to the sky and sighed in the yard: "My God, I have to take care of everything, where did I get so much money?!"
There is a big family in the village who makes cloth shoes. It is said that the cloth shoes they make are the most skilled in ten villages.Anyone who begs him, don't respectfully call him: Master Liu.
This Master Liu also has his nostrils turned up high, and he never looks at the ground when he walks.Dressed in jewels, he wished others would not know that he was Master Liu who made cloth shoes.
The straw sandal insole on the feet fully accommodated ten layers of bottoms, and was three inches high.
Xie Sanqiong couldn't afford cloth shoes, so he made straw sandals himself.Now that I have no money, I naturally think of Master Liu.I took the 50 taels of silver bill from under the brick in the corner of the main room, stood up and walked to the door, thought for a while and turned back.
The 50 taels of silver note is the young man's belongings, and there is a stamp of the Naji company on it, if it is handed over, it may easily cause trouble to the upper body.Finally, he put the banknote back where it was, and lifted another brick, took out a box from below, opened the box, took out a green jade finger wrench, looked at it reluctantly for a long time, finally sighed softly, Putting it in his arms, he put the brick back where it was, and then walked out.
Master Liu happened to be in the church today, so he didn't go to the county town to help the noble boys measure their feet and put on their shoes.
I heard that Xie San was looking for him.
Master Liu let out a "hum" laugh, and put down the purple clay pot in his hand: "What does this Old Ghost Jie want from me?"
"The old commentator said that he has a valuable thing to show you in exchange for some wine money." The eldest apprentice said.
"Worthy things?"
"I heard that it was buried with the senior officials of the former dynasty."
"Oh?" Master Liu thought for a while, "This Xie San'er can always dig up some rare things, let him come in, I'll take a look."
Xie San was taken to the main room by Master Liu's big apprentice, and he saw Master Liu lighting the tobacco from a distance.
Master Liu took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Xie San'er, what's the matter. Before, I didn't even look at me, so why are you suddenly courting me?"
Xie San laughed: "Master Liu, it's over for you to say that. I didn't dare to look at you before, but it wasn't because you were too rich? How could I dare? If I didn't dig out a rare thing, I was in a hurry to present the treasure. ah."
"What? Let me see." Master Liu said.
Xie San hurriedly took out a dirty rag bag from his arms, and opened it layer by layer.
Master Liu frowned here, and because he wanted to see the baby, he endured it for a long time.
The cloth bag, layer by layer, opened layer by layer.
It wasn't until Master Liu's eyebrows twitched that he revealed what was inside.
It was a high-grade emerald jade finger wrench that was covered in emerald green without any variegation.
Master Liu was taken aback: "What a treasure!" He quickly took it over and looked at it carefully under the sunlight.
"Where did you get it?"
Xie San smiled and explained: "You can't talk about that. I was so poor and panicked a few days ago, and I wanted to eat some meat for a tooth sacrifice. I went to the back mountain to hunt pheasants. I didn't expect to find a tombstone, and I also I don’t know what was written. Anyway, it’s quite big, so I dug it.”
"You, you just dug it casually." Master Liu was dumbfounded, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
"What are you afraid of? You've been fighting too much. Can you be weaker than a private ghost with a coffin? I'm not afraid of a war ghost, let alone a wild ghost." Xie San glanced at his mouth, "This thing is on the dead man's thumb. Take it with you."
Master Liu looked at the finger puller again.
Really good stuff.
"How much do you want?"
Xie San took out two fingers and compared them.
"20 taels?" Master Liu said.
Xie San staggered and almost fell to the ground: "Two, 20 taels?" He clearly meant 200 taels!
"This... 20 taels is a bit much." Master Liu rubbed his chin.
God, he spent 1000 taels of silver to buy this finger at Baoyuzhai, the largest in the capital.Now it is even bargained for 20 taels by an ignorant person.
"15 taels, how about 15 taels?" Master Liu said, "You empty-handed white wolf, if you have money, it's good. I can't give you more."
"Ten, 15 taels... fifteen... taels." Xie San gritted his teeth and swallowed tears of blood.
After holding the fineness and looking at it, it was mixed with foreign objects, and 15 taels of silver, which was missing a catty, came out of Liu's residence.
Xie San burst into tears, speechless.
