The pawn shop owner's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the jade pendant in Qin Yugu's hand.
This pulp! This jade quality! And this workmanship! What a peerless jade!
Many items in pawn shops have unknown origins. If they dare to collect them, they must have some skills. Most people don't dare to go to trouble for some stolen goods.
Qin Yugu took out a treasure that obviously did not match what she was wearing. In an antique store, the boss might be wary, but in a pawn shop, there is no need to worry about it.
It's just... I don't know how a wild girl like this got so lucky that she picked up such a gem. She is not a knowledgeable person anyway...
The boss looked at the jade pendant in her hand with disdain, but Qin Yugu still saw the hidden covetousness in it.
"This is just an ordinary piece of jade, and it doesn't have the master's engraving, so it's just... ten taels of silver!"
The girl just stared at the boss, took away the jade pendant and turned around to leave.
"Hey! Wait! This is indeed not a good thing. If you take it out..."
"You mean it's not true?" Qin Yugu exposed the boss's lie nonchalantly, "Do you really think I'm stupid? Celebrities can engrave calligraphy and painting, it's all the elegance of nobles, craftsmen are inherently poor, and even the craftsmen in the palace dare not use it on their works.
Leave your name on it and think I don’t understand?”
Moreover, this jade pendant is Helianzhong's personal belongings. He is also a nobleman at least. What craftsman wouldn't want to leave his name on the nobles' personal jade pendant?!
To put it bluntly, this store owner just wants to take advantage of others. He doesn’t dare to take it to an antique store when he sees her, just to take advantage of it!
After all, she is also a 28-year-old soul. I can’t see through this trick. How do I think she is really only 14?!
The boss didn't expect to be exposed by this girl so quickly, but he didn't show his cards right away.
"The quality of this jade pendant is really not good! And the blood on your body has not been washed away. I'm afraid you were injured and robbed!"
"Oh? Do you think I robbed you?"
The girl's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, her mind moved secretly, and the bone in her hand turned into a sharp dagger.
"That's right if you say so! Then guess whether I, a wild girl, will turn around and take advantage of others?!"
She was already in a bad mood. Seeing that this boss wanted to plot against her made her feel even more unhappy, so she simply threatened her.
"You...what do you want to do!?"
Qin Yugu is not afraid now, even if there is a reward on her face... No! Even if the pawnshop owner files a lawsuit with the county government and exposes her appearance, it will only increase the fear in the county master's heart.
They should have discovered that Qin Yugu's "corpse" is now missing!
The illusion that corpse plague will mutate and resurrect corpses has now been finalized in the minds of the government officials. Now that she is wandering around the county town as if nothing has happened, the county boss will definitely avoid her and block any news related to her!
After feigning death, he became unrestrained! Qin Yugu almost wanted to continue like this!
"Say it again! Three taels of gold and five strings of copper coins! It's up to you to decide what to do!"
The girl, who gradually became indifferent, inserted the dagger on the table. The sharp blade pierced the fragile wooden board, scaring the pawnshop owner into a cold sweat.
This wild girl is so courageous! The bodyguard is still at the door now. If she gets impulsive, he will definitely be the first to suffer!
Moreover, the price of Qin Jade Bones is not very expensive. The three taels of gold are probably for the convenience of carrying, and the copper coins are for convenience of spending.
This jade pendant is worth a hundred taels of gold! She sold it for only three taels of gold for a rare jade!
While feeling sad for the original owner of this jade pendant, he nodded kindly.
"Okay, okay...I'll get you money..."
"Don't move! Go and get the money! Just stay here!"
Qin Yugu drew out his dagger alertly, scratched it randomly in front of the boss, and pointed the dagger at the clerk next to him, asking him to get the money.
If the boss gets out of her attack range, he might ask the bodyguards at the door to do something!
She is not stupid! No matter how much money she wants, she has to get out of here!
The boss looked livid and scolded the stunned clerk.
"Why don't you hurry up and get the money! Can't you see that people are anxious?!" After saying that, he squeezed out a smile and flattered Qin Yugu, "Sir, please wait a moment...it will be over soon...Impulse is the devil..."
The blade she transformed with her supernatural power was no different from a soldier's iron weapon. The boss fully believed that as long as this girl was willing, she could slit his throat with a dagger at such a short distance.
"Sir, everything is here... Please check and accept it..."
Qin Yugu glanced at the copper coins and gold in front of him, picked up the gold and weighed it to make sure it was not fake, then grabbed the string of copper coins and ran out of the pawn shop with the dagger.
Her speed was so fast that the bodyguards didn't even react, and the girl disappeared into the crowd.
The boy huddled behind a pile of debris on the street corner. He hadn't eaten anything for a long time and was very hungry.
But my sister and he don’t have any money... and it’s not the time to be willful...
Qin Yugu didn't mention what she was going to do when she left, so the boy naturally didn't know. She went to the pawn shop, and even took a huge sum of money that ordinary people couldn't imagine and was heading back!
The girl ran all the way, turned the bone dagger into an ordinary pig bone and threw it on the ground. She returned to the street corner where Qin Jianghuai had hidden her before she stopped and started to pant. It took less than a quarter of an hour to complete the series of actions.
"JAC! Let's go!"
The boy quickly climbed out of the pile of debris and walked over following Qin Yugu's voice.
"Sister...you..."
Without thinking, she stretched out her hand to support her brother, and the copper coins hanging on her hand made a crisp sound.
"Let's go! Buy something delicious! I got the money!"
Qin Jianghuai also clearly heard that Qin Yugu was holding a lot of copper coins. He groped at her wrist suspiciously for a while, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious.
"Sister! Even though we have no money... we can't do anything illegal! Get what you robbed quickly - ah!"
The girl hit Qin Jianghuai on the head mercilessly, put away the copper coins and explained angrily——
"Are you so stubborn? How could I do that?!"
Covering his red forehead, Qin Jianghuai didn't quite believe it, but he couldn't understand how she could conjure up so much money out of thin air! He had to shake his head quickly.
"It's impossible...but...but there are so many changes at once..."
"It's not like that! I saved that man's life before, and he gave me a jade pendant, but I pawned it!"
Qin Yugu spoke righteously, and she didn't seem to think it was a sin at all to pawn Helianzhong's jade pendant, even though she knew that the jade pendant was worth much more than three taels of gold.
But now both myself and my brother are starving to death! Who cares whether we want the jade pendant or not! Life is the most important thing, right?!
"Jade pendant?!" Qin Jianghuai tried his best not to let his sister notice his strange expression.
In his impression, a man giving a personal accessory such as a jade pendant to an unmarried woman...isn't that...isn't it a matchmaker's token?!
It was inevitable that he would think this way. He was also present when his sister got along with that big brother. Even if he remained silent throughout the whole process, it was impossible for him to forget all the sounds he heard so quickly...
Now no matter how Qin Yugu explains, he can't explain his relationship with Helianzhong clearly in front of Qin Jianghuai...
"Yes, it's a jade pendant! At that time, he didn't have anything on him, so he gave me a jade pendant in the shape of a blue bird!"
Qin Yugu let him hold his shoulders, and the two siblings walked through the market, just like a pair of ordinary townspeople.
"Blue Bird?!"
The boy's expression was extremely grim. He had heard the elders in the village mention that the blue bird was the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West. Although its status was not as high as that of the phoenix, it was also a divine bird that conveyed the gospel to the world...
The emperor presented the phoenix token to the queen, which symbolized a lifetime of honor and favor, and was a blessing to the woman's family for generations to come.
The same is true for blue birds. If a noble man meets a beloved woman, it is also a tradition of the empire to give a token with a blue bird pattern as a gift!
He thought that the young master was some kind of good person! It seemed that he was simply overthinking it!
How could anyone give such an important token to someone else when they first met! He is extremely frivolous! He must never let his sister have contact with him again!
The girl took him around the market and bought a lot of meat buns and portable flatbreads, as well as two bowls of spicy soup. The two little children sat on the edge of the river in the city, enjoying the rare food.
.
Qin Jianghuai took the torn meat buns from his sister's hand. The aroma of fresh meat filled the air, which whetted his appetite.
After destroying half of the buns in two or three strokes, Qin Yugu saw that he had finished eating, holding the big cake in his mouth, and brought the hot spicy soup to Qin Jianghuai's mouth.
"Oh a little bit..."
She still had a big cake in her mouth, and her words were very vague, but she made the boy laugh happily.
After finishing the spicy soup with red cheeks, the stomachs that had been hungry for a long time were finally full, and both of them felt warm.
"Sister...have you thought about what to do in the future?"
Qin Yugu wrapped the remaining pie in brown paper, stuffed it into his arms and replied without thinking -
"Finish what you need to do first. I'll take you to the county town. If you can't do it in the county town, go to the capital. Sister, I must cure your eyes!"
She has also thought about it. The medicinal materials and conditions here are unlikely to meet her conditions for surgery, but if she goes to the capital city, she may not be able to collect medicinal materials and materials for making scalpels...
Moreover, there is a higher probability of people with supernatural powers appearing in metropolitan cities. If Helianzhong could revive Qin Jianghuai, it does not necessarily mean that there are no supernatural beings who can restore his vision!
Qin Jianghuai had been told many times by her, but now he didn't feel much guilt and nodded obediently.
"Yeah! I believe you!"
"That's right! I'm your sister!"
Her mood improved a lot after a good meal. She stood up and stretched. After thinking about it, she decided to take Qin Jianghuai to settle in the suburbs of the city where Huo Yin had teleported her to before.
"I still have to settle things. Jiang Huai, follow me to a place to rest. After I finish taking care of those people, I will pick you up!"
The next day, the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was carried out according to the plan agreed upon by the three of them.
Huo Yin is dressed in white, with short beige hair hidden under a huge cloak. His face is cute and handsome, and his red pupils are as noble and clear as the blood drops of a phoenix. His low-key robe is embroidered with various mysterious patterns, and in the sky
Even the dark clouds could not hide the happiness and nobility that filled his body.
The county magistrate standing next to him was in sharp contrast to the young man. His face was gray and he seemed to have aged dozens of years overnight. His originally plump figure also changed after a night in which he almost emptied his entire family.
Lost a lot of weight.
After all, he is still afraid of the chain of disasters caused by the zombie plague. Even though his son's reaction makes him sad, if he loses his official position, everything he has now will be wiped out!
He must not be punished for the corpse plague. After the ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, the disaster will disappear. He can still cover up those facts and make a comeback!
The faces of the singers in the audience and the officials attending the banquet were all red. Seeing them using their own wealth for entertainment, the county magistrate was so angry!
We have already contacted the couple, and now we just need to wait until the boys and girls to be sacrificed arrive and the sacrifice to heaven is over. All the efforts will be worth it!
With this thought in mind, he waited for the butcher to bring those children over. Naturally, the human traffickers used tricks to get the kid to keep silent and cooperate. He didn't have to worry about the news leaking out!
But a scene that almost made the county magistrate burst with anger appeared! The children did not wear clean clothes as agreed, each child was wearing dirty black and gray cloth, and the bright red crowd in the audience put his clothes on
My heart is divided into two parts!
Nan Shu led the children up to the altar with a joking expression, announcing that all the county magistrate's plans and hopes had come to nothing!
