"Do you want to go back?" Nangong Xi'er suddenly asked.
Su Baiyi was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it a bit early?"
"Don't we have no money?" Nangong Xi'er smiled bitterly, "Why go shopping if you don't have money..."
"Who said there is no money." Su Baiyi weighed the money bag in his hand, "There are still one, two, three...eight copper coins!"
"What can you do with eight copper coins? You can't even buy a box of rouge..." Nangong Xi'er said helplessly.
"How much can you do with eight copper coins? It depends on whether there is a place like that in the Castlevania." Su Baiyi put the money bag in his arms and continued to walk forward, "If my guess is right, such a long street
There must be a place like this." Nangong Xi'er smiled and could only follow.
Not long after the two walked, they turned a corner and suddenly heard a loud noise, as if someone was applauding. Su Baiyi's eyes lit up: "It must be here." After saying that, he immediately pulled Nangong Xi'er over.
Holding hands, they ran forward and saw a teahouse appearing in front of them. The teahouse was full of people. A storyteller held a ruler in his hand. He seemed to have just finished speaking a long paragraph and took a break. He picked up the tea bowl at hand.
Take a big sip.
Su Baiyi pulled Nangong Xi'er into the teahouse, and was immediately greeted by a waiter: "Two guests, please come inside."
"Is there still room?" Su Baiyi asked.
The waiter nodded and said: "Since it is you two distinguished guests, of course there is a private seat on the second floor, please!"
"Elegant... elegant seats, are they expensive?" Su Baiyi's tone immediately became weaker.
"Three coins." The waiter said with a smile.
"Sit in the lobby, eight copper coins." Su Baiyi put the money bag in his arms into the waiter's hand.
"Eight copper coins is only enough for a pot of tea, a plate of melon seeds, and the pastries in our Castlevania...but we can't eat them." The waiter looked embarrassed.
Su Baiyi patted the waiter on the shoulder: "Whoever comes to the teahouse to eat cakes, please hurry up and arrange the location. If not, I will leave."
"Okay, you two distinguished guests, a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds! Please come in!" the waiter turned around and shouted.
"Hey, hey, hey, just ask inside. How can I say what I ordered? It's so disrespectful." Su Baiyi helplessly led Nangong Xi'er in while everyone looked at her with a bit of contempt, and stood in a corner.
Sit down.
"Su Baiyi, is this what's interesting?" Nangong Xi'er asked with a smile.
"Bang!" I heard the storyteller slam the ruler in his hand on the table, which made Nangong Xi'er tremble all over, but Su Baiyi looked excited: "It's begun, it's begun."
"Last time we talked about how Xie Kanhua, the young master of the Xie family, rushed to Weilong Mountain to save his brother Helian Xiyue with a single sword. But Weilong Mountain is so easy to break into. There are nine generals, ten deities and ten people guarding the mountain alone.
There are dozens of heroes in the Eight Hells, but Xie Kanhua is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers..." The storyteller waved his long sleeves and told exactly the story of Xie Kanhua.
"This section is about the story of Xie Kanhua attacking the moon to save Helian, and Su Han not knowing each other until they had a fight." Su Baiyi knocked the melon seeds on the table and said excitedly, "I especially love to hear this section.
"
Nangong Xi'er looked at Su Baiyi with interest: "Do you like to come to the teahouse to listen to books?"
"Yes, the teahouse in Fenglin Town is much cheaper than here. One copper plate per pot of tea. Sometimes I can't even bear to order melon seeds. I can just sit there all afternoon." Su Baiyi smiled and took a sip of tea.
, "Then buy some groceries and go back to cook for Master. If you spend four copper coins on groceries, just tell Master that you spent five copper coins and he won't notice."
"What stories are told in the teahouse?" Nangong Xi'er asked.
"There are all kinds of them, but most of them tell anecdotes about the world, which are half true and half false, but they are very enjoyable to listen to." Su Baiyi said with a smile.
Nangong Xi'er took a sip of tea, held her neck with her hands and listened quietly. After a while, she entered the story, sometimes showing a worried look, sometimes smiling with everyone. In the end, the storyteller said
After that, when she sat down to drink water again, Nangong Xier clapped and cheered with the other guests. She said happily: "It's so interesting."
"This is not interesting enough." Su Baiyi said proudly, "The most interesting thing is the story about the great hero Li Buwei from a hundred years ago who fought against the twelve elders of the demon sect to save the world. I listened to it all that day.
I was fascinated, and finally my master found me in the teahouse..."
"Then what?" Nangong Xi'er asked curiously.
"Then he sat down and listened with me. The two of us didn't go home until we heard the teahouse closing. On the way back, my master suddenly asked me, Su Baiyi, do you want to be a hero?" Su Baiyi took a sip of tea.
"Hmm. So do you want to be a hero?" Nangong Xi'er asked.
"I said, I want to be my own hero first, protect myself, then be the hero of those around me, protect all the people I cherish, and finally be the hero of the world, protecting the common people like Li Buwei." Su Baiyi
He smiled and said, "I was young at that time, but now that I think about it, just protecting myself is already too difficult."
"You can do it. I have a hunch that you can become a hero in the world." Nangong Xi'er said with a smile, "After all, you are now the de facto head of the Su family."
Su Baiyi scratched his head: "Sister, I still feel that this matter is a bit unreal, including the fact that Su Dianmo is my mother. There was a time when I thought it was important to find out who my biological parents were, but
Now that I really know it, I don’t have any big feelings in the future. Maybe they are just symbols in my heart. After all, I have never seen them. My adoptive father, adoptive mother, my master, and senior sister, you are... well
,Senior sister? Senior sister?”
Nangong Xi'er didn't know when she was lying on the table and fell asleep quietly.
"She probably guarded you all night last night. She really can't hold it anymore now." A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind them.
Su Baiyi was not surprised at all. It seemed that he had already noticed this person's arrival. He took a sip of tea and showed a somewhat malicious smile: "Old Zhao, I have a request..."
Zhao Xiaqiu said helplessly: "You have changed my name from Taoist Zhao to Lao Zhao... To be honest, Lao Zhao is a bit unpleasant."
"Because we are getting more and more familiar with each other. Isn't it true that Lao Zhao has been closer to Daochang for a long time than Taoist Zhao?" Su Baiyi shrugged.
"Tell me, what's your request? If you want me to take you away from Castlevania, I can't do it." Zhao Xiaqiu asked.
"Do you have a lot of money? Can you lend me some money..." Su Baiyi looked at Nangong Xi'er who was lying there sleeping, "I want to buy a box of rouge."
