Chapter 110 White Lotus
Follow the scholar all the way.
He had seen the scholar thrown out of the shop ten times and driven away fifteen times. Adding the ones before that, he couldn't imagine how many times the scholar had been treated like this.
And this is still only half a day. Judging from the reactions of the previous shopkeepers, this scholar should have appeared here for some time.
What kind of motivation can make him do this?
He was curious, but more shocked.
prior to,
Maybe I really misunderstood him,
Maybe he was really forced to!
Being driven away and thrown out by someone, the scholar seems to be used to it.
But no matter how many times he was kicked out, how many times he was thrown, the only thing that felt lonely and painful was his face, but his spine was still straight.
The tireless, the shameless, the pain-agnostic.
Visit each shop in the market one by one.
Selling paintings, being rejected, pleading.
Then without any accident, he was thrown away again, and kicked out again, everything seemed to be a foregone conclusion.
But this seemingly hopeless behavior, the scholar still did not give up.
Continue all the way, non-stop.
When Scholar No.20 was thrown out of the shop, Xiao Han, who had been silently following behind him, couldn't stand it anymore!
As usual, the scholar would get up from the ground first, and then pick up the calligraphy and painting on the ground, but this time, one hand picked it up in advance.
"A poor scholar is a poor scholar. He doesn't know how to do business but he still has to do it. Apart from increasing the number of close contacts with the ground, does this have any other meaning?"
"I need spiritual stones. Five yuan will be enough. Do you have any?" The scholar answered the question inappropriately.
Looking at Xiao Han standing in front of him, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but it was more of longing.
"Yes, but I need to know why?"
Don't blame Xiao Han for being nosy, he's just curious.
Curious about what this supposedly noble man is doing to be able to do what he is doing now, without even a little bit of dignity.
"Calligraphy and painting are sold to you, I have nothing else to say!" A trace of vigilance flashed in the scholar's eyes.
Xiao Han opened the calligraphy and painting, and the picture showed a lotus pond, with white lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond, which was beautiful and clean.
But no matter how beautiful it is, it is still just an ordinary calligraphy and painting.
And the scholar in front of him is not a big man, at least not now.
Therefore, as others have said, this calligraphy and painting is not worth the price the scholar said.
Xiao Han shook his head, rolled up the calligraphy and painting again, and said: "It's not worth the price, so I can't promise you, unless you can give something equivalent, or tell me why?"
Hearing this, a look of struggle appeared on the scholar's face.
"Can I trust you?"
After a while, the scholar suddenly asked a very strange question.
This question was so strange that Xiao Han didn't know how to answer it.
"Maybe... right!" Xiao Han shrugged, not daring to make more promises.
When the other party asked if he could trust him, it was nothing more than worrying about whether he would be disadvantageous to him after knowing the reason.
He asked himself that he was not a great saint, but he didn't have the nerve to take advantage of others' danger, or use force to bully the weak.
For a long time, the scholar seemed to force himself to accept a condition that he didn't want to accept.
After that, he said with some difficulty: "Give me the spirit stone, the calligraphy and painting are yours, follow me."
Xiao Han nodded, waved his big hand, and five spirit stones appeared in his hand, and then they were handed over to the scholar.
Seeing the spirit stone, the scholar's face showed excitement, and then he quickly ran towards a place.
Xiao Han followed quietly.
Not long after, the scholar arrived at his destination, which was an elixir shop.
There is a word "spirit" in front of the pharmacy. It is obvious that this is a pharmacy that sells natural materials and earth treasures specially for spiritual masters.
"Shopkeeper, I have spirit stones, give me that century-old ginseng quickly!" The scholar put the five spirit stones on the counter of the pharmacy, looking a little impatient.
Behind the counter of the pharmacy, an old man came over. After seeing that the person who came was a scholar, the old man's expression became obviously a little impatient.
But after seeing the five spirit stones on the counter, a smile appeared on his face again.
In just a few seconds, the old man perfectly interpreted the true qualities of a businessman.
"Yo, I didn't expect you to actually get the spirit stone. I underestimated you before. If that's the case, I'll sell you the century-old ginseng!"
After putting the spirit stone in his pocket, the old man took out a wooden box from the medicine cabinet at the back.
Then he opened the wooden box in front of the scholar.
Suddenly, a yellowed ginseng came into view.
And Xiao Han, who was standing behind the scholar, couldn't help shrinking his eyes after seeing this so-called century-old ginseng, and a strange color appeared on his face.
Although he doesn't know much about elixir, he can still feel the exact age of ginseng as a spiritual master.
The ginseng in this wooden box is only 30 years old, which is far from the old man's so-called hundred years.
And anyone who knows a little bit about the market knows, how can a century-old ginseng only buy five spirit stones?
But the scholar in front of him didn't seem to notice anything wrong.
Either the explanation is that the student is anxious and confused because of certain things, or he really has no experience.
Looking at the opponent's appearance, Xiao Han felt that the latter seemed to account for more.
Seeing the ginseng, the scholar didn't have the slightest doubt, he immediately closed the box, picked it up and left.
Xiao Han, who moved quickly in a series, didn't have time to remind him that there was something wrong with this ginseng.
In the end, he just glanced at the shopkeeper coldly, and then quickly followed.
The scholar holding the ginseng ran all the way out of the Healer's Market, and then traveled through dozens of winding paths, and finally stopped in front of an extremely remote dilapidated wooden house.
Surrounding the dilapidated wooden house was another dilapidated wooden house, some of which were still emitting smoke and fire, some were completely dilapidated and uninhabitable, and some completely collapsed into ruins.
Looking at the dilapidated everything around, Xiao Han felt that this place should be a slum in Qingzhou City.
The scholar who arrived one step earlier than him has already walked into the dilapidated wooden house.
Xiao Han who was at the door faintly heard the scholar say happily: "Alian, I got it, I got it, you are saved!"
But in the blink of an eye, a wolf howling and ghostly cries came from the dilapidated wooden house.
Hearing the crying, Xiao Han couldn't help being startled, and rushed into the dilapidated wooden house with one stride.
The dim and damp shabby house was filled with pictures of snow-white lotus flowers, which were beautiful and clean.
But it was a bit out of tune with the environment in the room.
At this moment, on the wooden bed in the room, there was a beautiful woman lying motionless on it.
This woman's face is pale, just like the white lotus in calligraphy and painting, very beautiful and clean!
but she
It has withered!
On the bedside, the scholar was lying there, crying in despair.
I have something to do on Friday night, update in advance!
