After solving the problem of the banshee, the master and the apprentice did not go back to Li's house, but took advantage of the moonlight to return to Lantian Town at night. The moonlight was bright tonight, which was rare and bright, so there was no need to worry about walking at night.
It's not easy to walk or anything like that. Except for the places where the moonlight is blocked, everything else looks like it's daytime.
"What's wrong with you? You seem to be absent-minded. Why were you scared by that banshee just now?" The master and apprentice were walking on the road. Uncle Jiu turned to look at Lin Tianqi. He saw that his apprentice, who had become talkative in the past few days, suddenly suddenly
He became quiet, and felt a little uncomfortable for no reason. He thought that Lin Tianqi had just been frightened by the banshee, or was angry that he had just used a fake amulet to deceive him. He couldn't help turning his eyes and looked at Lin Tianqi and said:
"Are you still angry with me for lying to you with a fake amulet?"
"No." Hearing his master's voice, Lin Tianqi turned around and grinned, showing his neat white teeth and a somewhat honest smile on his face: "I just thought that my master would teach me how to practice real magic when I go back.
I feel a little excited..."
Uncle Jiu stared at Lin Tianqi's face for a long time, especially Lin Tianqi's gaze. He was sure that Lin Tianqi was not frightened or angry with him. He couldn't help but feel relieved: "Look at you like that, you are so promising." He was not angry.
He cursed and looked away directly.
Lin Tianqi continued to grin, and heard that there was no scolding in his master's tone. In fact, he had just been thinking about his golden finger. However, he looked at the master beside him and thought about it, but he still didn't want to rush.
, it’s better to wait until you go back and lie on the bed alone to study it slowly.
At this thought, Lin Tianqi also temporarily put away his research thoughts, looked at his master's hand, and saw that his master took out a small black cloth bag, which was given by Village Chief Li when the master and apprentice left Lijia Village.
Yes, I think this is the reward for the master and the apprentice.
Looking curiously at the small cloth bag in his master's hand, Lin Tianqi was also a little curious as to how much compensation Lijiacun gave the master and apprentice this time. After all, no matter what era or place, money is always one of the most attractive things.
, as the saying goes, money is not everything, but without money nothing is impossible.
Uncle Jiu also opened the small cloth bag, then poured out the contents and put it in his hands: "Whoosh..." with a series of crisp sounds, eight silver coins were exposed, and Yuan's head was all blown away.
"Hey, the people in Lijiacun are quite generous, aren't they?"
Lin Tianqi couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw this, and he said that during the Republic of China, there was social turmoil, with foreign powers and internal turmoil. Even the monetary system in this era was extremely chaotic. Not only was there the impact of foreign currencies, but the domestic monetary system was also chaotic.
It's unbearable, but the most credible mainstream currency today is Yuan Datou under the silver standard.
Although Yuan Datou fell, the currency he created has been passed down and has become the mainstream currency in China today.
Yuan Datou mainly has four denominations, one jiao, two jiao, five jiao, and one yuan! And the Yuan Datou that everyone generally calls has a one-yuan face value, and the eight silver coins in Uncle Jiu's hands now are Yuan Datou with a one-yuan face value.
, the purchasing power of a Yuan Datou with a face value of one yuan can now buy thirty kilograms of rice on the market.
For an ordinary family, one Yuan Datou can almost cover several days of household expenses. This time Lijiacun gave them eight Yuan Datou as a reward. It is not an unreasonable deal, but when I think about this
Not only did he help Lijiacun get rid of the banshee, but he also saved two people. If you think about it this way, the reward seems reasonable.
After taking a few more glances at Yuan Datou in his master's hands, Lin Tianqi looked at his master again.
I saw that there was still no change on my master's face. He looked calm, neither happy nor sad about things. He silently put the silver coins into the bag again and put it into his arms, then put his hands behind his back and stretched out his hands.
He walked forward with his head held high, looking very calm.
Looking at his master's back as he walked forward, Lin Tianqi secretly raised his middle finger to his master's back - pretending!
His master seemed calm on the surface, but he could clearly see a glimmer of light in his master's eyes just now when the silver coins were poured out of the small bag.
Even though I am very happy in my heart, I still pretend to be calm on the outside.
Lin Tianqi felt more and more that his master was a show-off.
"Master", although he was thinking this in his heart, he did not dare to say it out loud. When he saw that his master had already reached the front, he quickly followed him and called out, thinking that he, the master, would teach him when he returned.
After using his own magic, he couldn't help but feel hot again, and was ready to ask some questions in this regard. However, just as he was about to start asking, Lin Tianqi couldn't help but his eyes were startled.
I saw a person on the mountain road about thirty meters in front of me, walking in front of them with his back to them.
There were actually people walking at night like them in the middle of the night.
And the back view made Lin Tianqi feel a little familiar, like someone from Lantian Town.
"What's wrong?" Uncle Jiu asked before he heard Lin Tianqi's words.
"Master, look, there is a person in front of you who seems familiar." Lin Tianqi trotted to his master and pointed to the front.
Uncle Jiu also looked forward after hearing this. Sure enough, he saw the person in front of him, and frowned slightly: "It seems to be Wang De? Where did he come from so late?"
"Uncle Wang." Lin Tianqi looked forward after hearing this. Sure enough, the more he looked, the more similar he became. Wang De was also from Lantian Town, and lived next to their Yizhuang. He was in his forties. Lin Tianqi usually called him Wang.
Uncle, once it was confirmed that he was an acquaintance, Lin Tianqixin relaxed and was not afraid of his master next to him, so he said: "Master, I'll ask Uncle Wang to wait a moment. Judging from his appearance, I don't know where he is from.
It’s already so late, and I should be heading back to Lantian Town, so let’s have some company along the way.”
"Yes!" Uncle Jiu did not refuse and nodded, looking at Wang De in front of him.
"Uncle Wang!..."
Lin Tianqi trotted to catch up with Wang De in front and called out to him. Having one more person walking with him in the middle of the night also made him more popular.
He called out twice, but Wang De in front seemed not to hear him and continued to walk forward with his head buried in his head.
"You are so deaf."
When Lin Tianqi saw Wang De didn't respond, he murmured in his heart and trotted a little faster.
"Uncle Wang!"
He chased directly along the mountain road for nearly a hundred meters, calling Wang De in front of him several times along the way, but the other party seemed not to hear him. Lin Tianqi also stopped at this time.
Because he felt something was wrong, he caught up nearly a hundred meters from where he was at the beginning. He kept running at a trot, while Wang De in front kept walking at the same pace as at the beginning. He obviously wanted to catch up faster.
However, the distance between the two people did not close at all, and they were still about thirty meters apart.
I chased him for so long, but I didn't close the distance at all.
Lin Tianqi felt a chill for no reason, and Lin Tianqi felt a little cold on his back.
"Tianqi, there's no need to chase him. Just look at his feet."
At this time, his master's voice sounded from behind.
"At your feet!"
Lin Tianqi muttered something instinctively after hearing this, and then looked at Wang De's feet in front of him, but this look could not help but make his scalp tingle.
Because in his sight, Wang De's walking feet did not touch the ground at all. It seemed that they were about a few centimeters away from the ground. He didn't notice it until he looked carefully before, but now he realized it after hearing his master's reminder.
Damn it, I’ve been chasing him for a long time, but he’s not a human!
Lin Tianqi's scalp went numb, and he felt the hairs on his back stand on end.
