Chapter fifty-ninth

The next day, at five o'clock in the morning.

Yu Sheng wrapped his clothes around and slowly walked downstairs with his eyes squinting.

At his feet, the dog was spinning around happily.

Under the stairs, the black cat Sheriff also came out. They went to play somewhere at night. But thanks to them, there have been no mice in the inn recently.

Just as Yu Sheng was about to enter the kitchen, he heard someone talking in the backyard. He looked around and saw that it was last night's guest chatting with the three-legged turtle.

Yu Sheng heard him say: "Did you really smell the breath of your ancestors?"

"Of course, there is no mistake." the three-legged turtle vowed.

"Maybe it's because he doesn't want to see you." The visitor sighed, "I wanted to go to the dock, but I didn't expect that Miss Shi Yu had already left. What a miscalculation."

The three-legged turtle said disdainfully, "Wear a bamboo hat and hold an umbrella. You haven't done enough of the unnecessary things?"

Xu was in a good mood when he got up in the morning, and the visitor didn't care about the three-legged turtle. He muttered: "We have to leave quickly, and we can't let the blind and quick get there first."

"It just so happens that the shopkeeper has already gotten up, so I can't leave without saying goodbye." He stood up and said to Yu Sheng, who was looking over his shoulder, "Anyway, Shi Yu's son is also my junior."

The visitor took out a bead the size of a dove egg from his arms and threw it to Yu Sheng, "I came in a hurry yesterday and didn't prepare a gift. This bead can be used as a meeting gift and a drink."

Yu Sheng took it and measured it carefully. He saw that the beads were delicate and round, quite like pearls, but more transparent than pearls. They should be worth a lot of money.

"This is a wolf pearl." After Yu Sheng didn't recognize it, the visitor climbed up behind the turtle and said, "I met a wolf pearl when I came here and begged it for it."

The visitor said goodbye and said goodbye.

For the rest of my life, I could only see the three-legged turtle kicking on the ground, "booming" straight up into the sky, turning into a big shadow and disappearing into the clouds.

"What kind of pearl is a pearl?" Yu Sheng was sitting at the door playing with the beads. When he saw Bai coming downstairs happily, he asked him.

"A bead?" Bai was delighted and leaned forward when he saw the bead in Yu Sheng's hand, "This is a rare thing. Where did you get it?"

"That weirdo paid for the drinks yesterday." Yu Sheng said.

Bai Gaoxing took it and hid the beads in his clothes. Seeing his careful look, Yu Sheng felt reassured. This thing must be very valuable.

"Tsk, tsk" After praising it, Bai Gaoxing handed it to Yu Sheng, "The light is a bit weak, you can put it in the sun later."

"Taitai?" Yu Sheng wondered, is Taitai more valuable?

Bai Gaoxing quickly broke his fantasy, "In the future, the inn won't need to light the lamp, it is enough."

"What did you say?" Yu Sheng was stunned, "It, lights up?"

Bai happily nodded, "Yes, as long as you stay in the sun for a while, the bead can illuminate for a long time at night and save a lot of money on lamp oil."

Oh, it turned out to be a small sun lamp, but Yu Sheng still refused to give up, "Did you remember it wrong? This is big and bright, it should be worth more than pearls."

"What are pearls worth?" Bai Gaoxing pointed to the east, "There are many of them in Linhai Town in the east of Yangzhou City. Let someone bring you a package some other time."

Bai Gaoxing pointed at the pearl, "But it's worth more than the pearl. I'll give it a try, but it depends on whether there are any fools who buy it."

"Why?" Yu Sheng was puzzled. Even a sun lamp is better than an oil lamp. It saves a lot of vegetable oil.

Bai happily said: "Although this thing is rare, it is not used for a long time. It is enough for almost a year, and it is usually enough to buy lamp oil for three or four years."

"It's really valuable if it's a monkey." Bai Gaoxing told Yu Sheng that a monkey looks like a suckling pig and has baby beads hidden in its body, which it would often spit out and play with.

If someone feeds it and treats it well, it will give the pearl to its owner. Of course, if someone threatens it, it will also give the pearl.

"This guy is so shameless." The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Yu Sheng couldn't help but scolded, "A jar of wine is worth a thousand dollars. If you include the rent and food, the loss will be huge."

Bai Gaoxing went to the kitchen to get breakfast, just as Ye Zigao also came downstairs. They sat across from Yu Sheng, watching Yu Sheng regret his mistake.

"If I had an aunt, I would never let that guy succeed." Yu Sheng said firmly.

He turned around and said to Bai Gaoxing: "Go back and buy a copy of "Story of Strange Beasts". We fell down this time. We must lie down for a while to gain memory before we get up again."

Yu Sheng was about to talk again when Ye Zi chewed a soup dumpling and smeared all over the table. He hurriedly hid behind him and almost fell to the ground.

"You really want me to lie down for a while?" Yu Sheng said angrily. "Mistake, mistake." Ye Zigao wiped his mouth and said.

"Hey, your pig's head has disappeared?" Yu Sheng then noticed Ye Zi Gao, "It's not bad."

Ye Zigao smiled, "Of course, yesterday was just a pearl covered in dust."

"I was just being polite." Yu Sheng reminded him, "Don't be too proud. There are people in the inn who are more suave than you."

Ye Zigao was dissatisfied, "Who? Pull it out and run around."

"Do you want to have your wages deducted?" Yu Sheng reminded him, and Ye Zigao immediately became scared.

They chatted until the sun was up, and when they were about to put away the dishes, an afterimage suddenly stood in front of the door, attracting the attention of the three of them.

"It's Maomao who's back." Yu Sheng was happy. He walked out and didn't have time to examine it carefully. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and the bag on Maomao's back disappeared.

Yu Sheng asked anxiously: "Where is the cloth bag?"

Maomao shook his head back.

After yesterday's exchange, Yu Sheng had some ideas about Maomao's movements. It took him about half an hour to finally understand what Maomao was referring to by shaking his head.

He opened the saddle and saw that the note from yesterday was still underneath.

"What is this?" Ye Zigao touched it quietly at some point.

"Let's go." Yu Sheng pushed him away and went upstairs with the note.

"Does the shopkeeper really have a secret with the city lord?" Ye Zigao looked at Yu Sheng's back suspiciously, "Then what should I do? This matter is related to my life, Mr. Ye."

Not talking about the small theater in Ye Zigao's heart, Yu Sheng went upstairs to open the note and saw three big words written on it: I am happy. There was a city theme name at the back.

"I'm happy. Is this a reason? It's too hasty."

Yu Sheng shook his head and saw a line of small words below: I like the bag very much, and I also like the umbrella, but I don't like the people inside.

I pondered for the rest of my life, it seemed like the city lord had taken the contents of the bag.

Could it be that the city lord was interested in that umbrella? Yu Sheng quickly denied it. Bai Gaoxing said that almost all Wu Zhu had such an umbrella.

Then there is only one reason: the city lord helped him deal with this troublesome thing.

"That's a stable source of my merit points, and it's fun to tease Fat Wu Zhu occasionally." Yu Sheng fell on the bed, shouting that it was a pity.

Just at this time, Ye Zigao ran upstairs with a bang, "Shopkeeper, go down and take a look, someone is here to cause trouble."

"It's ruining the place." Yu Sheng was shocked, "Where's Maomao? Let him block the door."

"It's blocked."

They hurried downstairs and said, "Let your shopkeeper come out." Yu Sheng heard someone shouting on the stairs.

Yu Sheng stopped at the entrance of the inn and saw the young master of the Cai family standing outside the inn with a dozen servants.

"Which grandson is looking for me?" Yu Sheng was not polite at all.

Cai Minggang was about to agree, but fortunately his reaction was slow and he did not say the word "I".

He said angrily: "It's this kid, let me teach him a lesson. He dares to play tricks on you, Mr. Cai. He is impatient to live."
