After Fuluan turned around and left, the girl at the stall behind her had a sneer on her lips. She weighed the pieces of silver given by Fuluan, casually put them into her pocket, and then took out a handful of them.
He was carefully calculating something according to the horizontal and vertical directions and directions.
"Everything is under control..."
The smile on her lips grew wider.
"Little girl, how do you sell sugar-roasted chestnuts?"
The sudden sound interrupted her plan. She looked up and saw Su Wen. The smile on the little girl's face froze.
"Three, three coins per pound..."
The little girl's voice was tinny.
"So expensive?"
Su Wen was surprised. Before Xie Lingyun's pseudonym was revealed, the sugar-fried chestnuts he sold were only twenty cents. According to the currency exchange rate of the Liang Dynasty, one tael of silver was exchanged for one hundred copper coins. The chestnuts sold by the little girl were,
It was actually fifteen times more expensive than what Xie Lingyun sold!
“Sugar is expensive!”
The little girl is confident.
"Okay...two pounds."
When Su Wen heard the price, he had already backed down. Although he had a monthly income of twenty taels and various welfare subsidies, chestnuts costing three coins per pound were still a luxury for him.
But when he saw the little girl's watery eyes, Su Wen thought that it would be a luxury. And he didn't know much about prices. He vaguely felt that in this era, there were not many ways to make sugar, so sugar was expensive.
It's normal. As for why Xie Lingyun sells it so cheaply, it's because this guy doesn't need the money at all. He sells things to make money to support his family. He sells things to fish and determine the whereabouts of Taboo Object No. 09.
"Okay..."
The little girl gave Su Wen a simple smile and wrapped chestnuts for him awkwardly.
Looking at the little girl's movements and seeing the other person's delicate white jade hands, Su Wen couldn't help but ask: "Little girl, is this your first time doing business?"
"……yes."
The little girl responded and weighed the wrapped sugar-fried chestnuts. The weight was obviously almost three pounds.
"Give."
The little girl did not pour some chestnuts out of the paper bag, nor did she ask for more money, so she handed the chestnuts over: "Six coins."
"Give……"
Su Wen took out a piece of silver and gently placed it on the stall.
"Young master... I've given you too much money."
After picking up the silver, the little girl frowned and started to look for change for him.
"You gave me too many chestnuts."
Su Wen didn't want to take advantage of others.
"But……"
The little girl is a little anxious. Is she doing business to make money? Of course not, she wants to lose money and let others earn her money!
"It's okay. Next time I come to buy chestnuts from you, I'll be fine if you give me a few more."
Su Wen smiled back, turned around and left.
"But...well, the young master will come here more often..."
When the little girl said this, both she and Su Wen thought it was a bit strange. Su Wen nodded slightly, turned around and left.
"Hey...this little girl has a problem!"
Su Wen didn't go far when Taoyao's voice entered his mind.
"I know……"
Su Wen said softly. If he hadn't been sure that Tao Yao was attached to the hairpin on his head, he might have turned around and ran away.
When he came out of the inner factory, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to buy a piece of chestnuts and take them back to Walnut. Ever since Sun Yehou fed Walnut once fried chestnuts with sugar, the fat cat liked eating chestnuts and would feed it to Walnut from time to time.
Peel a few. When Sun Yehou was nesting in the back mountain, he fed walnuts all kinds of snacks all day long. Until now, Su Wen never touched the cat rice cooked for him. Even Su Wen couldn't bear to eat more fresh food.
The fish are too lazy to speak.
After "Ding Chunqiu" disappeared, the only place where he could buy sugar-roasted chestnuts was around the Chenghuang Temple. But when Su Wen came here, he found that there was only one family selling chestnuts, and the one selling chestnuts was an unfamiliar little girl.
When Su Wen first saw this little girl, he felt that she was out of tune with the surrounding environment.
The little girl didn't look like she was running a small business at all. There was an indescribable temperament in her every move. After seeing the little girl's appearance and hands clearly, Su Wen was even more certain that the time when the little girl sold sugar-fried chestnuts,
Not more than... one day.
She didn't even find out the price of sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Three coins per pound of chestnuts... not many people in Wuning City can afford it.
Su Wen gritted his teeth and bought two kilograms because he saw this abnormality.
This little girl...maybe she is the daughter of a wealthy family who came out to experience life. But this possibility...seems unlikely. In this era, it is not a glorious thing for women to show their faces, especially those from famous families.
Aristocratic families value face very much and would not allow their children to do such a thing.
Then there is only one other possibility.
This little girl has another purpose.
The little girl is probably a supernatural person. Even the little girl's appearance... is just a disguise. Taoyao, who has lived for five or six hundred years, may look younger than this little girl if she changes back to human form... As for whether there is any
If she is not as beautiful as a little girl, then that is debatable.
"Is she a supernatural being?"
Su Wen asked Tao Yao in a low voice: "Perhaps he is a transcendent in what order?"
"It must be extraordinary." Tao Yao answered in the affirmative, but then said: "As for the sequence, I don't know... The Qi in her body has been obscured. It may be that her own extraordinary power has concealed it.
Well, it may be that she has forbidden objects with her that block other people's perception of her. If I don't exist in this form, she can also detect my existence and even block my perception of her extraordinary power... Eventually
Treat her like a normal person."
Su Wen was horrified and quickly asked: "Did she also escape from the spiritual prison?"
This question received a negative answer. Taoyao said that she had never sensed the little girl's aura in the spiritual prison. Finally, she said with emotion: "Wuning City... is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
Su Wen could only smile bitterly: "I hope she won't cause trouble..."
But this is just a good wish after all. As a factory guard, Su Wen knows very well what to do if he discovers an extraordinary person of unknown origin.
Throughout Wuning City, the names of extraordinary people have been registered, and they are the targets of key monitoring within the factory. However, this kind of monitoring is not strict. They only visit on time to confirm that the other party is in good condition and whether there is any out-of-control situation.
Maybe, they will even provide some promotion sequence materials in exchange for the trust of the other party. When necessary, the inner factory will also call these extraordinary people to serve the inner factory, and of course they will be paid. In the previous Black Sun incident, Liu Sandao
Then such a recruitment order was issued and all the extraordinary people were forcibly recruited. However, the last black sun incident did not cause an uncontrollable chaos, and these extraordinary people did not put in much effort and got a share from the inner factory.
Good remuneration. For them, it is also an extra income.
Those like the little girl who were not recorded were directly marked as dangerous. Once the factory guards found out, they would strictly monitor them as soon as possible, and then contact them carefully to determine the other party's intentions. If they were sure that the other party was not hostile,
, so he registered his identity and had to report his whereabouts to the internal factory on time for a long time in order to gain the trust of the internal factory. From the beginning of contact to the complete elimination of the threat, it takes half a year to a year.
For many extraordinary beings, the regulations within the inner factory are cumbersome and humiliating.
Becoming extraordinary means that they are no longer ordinary people and should have higher treatment. But in fact, not only do they not have it, but the inner factory monitors them tightly and they are not allowed to have freedom. Therefore, their rebellious psychology towards the inner factory is extremely serious. No
After awakening to transcendence, a few people conceal their identities because they do not want to be interrogated by the inner factory.
Of course, these are also aimed at extraordinary people with extraordinary paths outside the hundreds of famous schools. Those who are included in the sequence of the right path will basically not be controlled by the inner factory. After all, the chance of extraordinary people in these paths losing control is small, and even if they are, the threat is small.
, in addition, these extraordinary people basically have a strict sect of teachers. When they are promoted to extraordinary, they have teachers and fellow disciples to protect them all the way.
"Things... won't be very simple. But it doesn't matter. If there is danger, I am a knife loaner, can't I protect you?"
Taoyao's words were full of confidence.
Of course, she also had some words hidden deep in her heart that she hadn't said out loud. Even if there were dangers that she couldn't deal with, Su Wen still had the forbidden Ruyi Jade Plate on him. I don't know which life-long fate caused the Ruyi Jade Plate to turn into the Ruyi Plate.
Su Wen recognizes his father. With this relationship, it will not ignore Su Wen when he is in danger. When Su Wen is taken away, Tao Yao will naturally be saved.
"Hey, it's dawn..."
At this time, Su Wen discovered that the dark sky became brighter, and the midday sun shone above his head.
"wrong!"
Soon, Su Wen discovered that the warm sunlight suddenly became intense, causing a burning sensation on his skin.
"The sun...something's wrong!"
Taoyao also discovered something was wrong.
"It's not the sun! It's Fuluan. He changed the formation left by Xie Lingyun!"
"Oh, it's so tangy!"
"Quick, quick, take shelter in the shade, the sun is very poisonous!"
On the streets, vendors and people fled away one after another. In many places where firewood was piled up, thick smoke began to rise under the scorching heat, and soon fires burst out and burned fiercely.
"Fight the fire, it's on fire! Call the water dragon team quickly!"
Seeing that under the scorching heat, the scene in front of Su Wen's eyes was slightly distorted, but the appearance of the bright sun quickly disappeared. The fireball-like sun seemed to have encountered a solar eclipse, slowly turning dark and turning into a sun.
A black-gold sphere like an annular eclipse hangs in the sky.
The change in the environment not only frightened the people around him, but even Su Wen was stunned. With the appearance of the solar eclipse, the heat suddenly disappeared, and he even felt cold.
A strong coldness hit from all around, Su Wen exhaled a breath of chilly mist, his face changed drastically: "What's going on?"
"Fu Luan is crazy. He wants to kill the entire Wuning City as a promotion ceremony."
Taoyao's voice also had a hint of uneasiness. She was not afraid of Fuluan, but in Fuluan's formation, Fuluan could use the rules to strangle her. Even if she couldn't kill her, it would further worsen her condition.
