Became Queen from Douluo

"I remember that I was starving to death. I risked my life and went out of the city. I found a river where I could catch fish. Suddenly, I saw a bamboo basket floating down the upper reaches."

"I picked it up and took a look. There was a child inside. I didn't want to raise it. After all, I couldn't support myself. How could I support future generations..."

"But after I found out it was a girl, I changed my mind. At that time, the security in Wuhun City was not as good as it is now. Some romantic places would pay to buy some baby girls, brainwash them and train them from an early age, so I kept her in exchange for some money. ..."

"At that time, there was a jade pendant of good quality in her arms, with the word Menglan written on it. I saw that the name sounded very nice, and my surname was Qin, so I named the child Qin Menglan. Otherwise, at my level, how could I What nice name can you come up with..."

"I didn't think too much, I just thought the name would be nice and it would be easier to sell..."

Qin Shouyi narrated slowly, but suddenly felt that he had said too much and quickly looked at Leng Xiyao's face.

"Where's that jade pendant? It should be worth some money, right? You didn't sell it?" Leng Xiyao also knew what kind of virtue this piece of shit was, but he didn't pursue it. Regardless of his intentions, he did save the person anyway. Now, It's been more than ten years, and there's no point in pursuing it any further.

"Sold, of course." As if thinking of something, a trace of resentment appeared on Qin Shouyi's face: "That boss is also an unhuman being. At that time, Wuhun City was in great chaos, and such a good-quality jade pendant was I only sold two silver coins, two silver coins!"

Two silver coins were more, more or less. Although buying such a fine jade pendant was about the same as buying it in the Ming Dynasty, it was equivalent to a few months of living expenses for ordinary people. Based on Qin Shouyi's knowledge at the time, two silver coins It was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for him, so it was normal for him to sell it directly.

"Is the pawn shop where you sold things still there?" Leng Xiyao asked.

"Yes, yes, are you going to redeem me?" Qin Shouyi nodded repeatedly and said in an extremely flattering tone.

He has come to his senses now. Since the other party has no intention of killing him, if we build a relationship with him a little bit, he will probably have enough food and clothing in the future...

"Lead the way."

Qin Shouyi did not dare to neglect and led Leng Xiyao a few hundred meters to the door of a small shop.

This pawn shop has a small appearance and looks a bit gloomy. The overall style is a bit like the dark shop opened by Flanders.

In the store, an old man who looked to be in his 70s was lying on a rocking chair, reading unknown ancient books. In addition, there were several young girls cleaning the house. It looked like a normal store. Let's just say it's not very tidy.

Seeing someone pushing the door open, the old man looked at Leng Xiyao. A smile appeared on his originally smooth old face. He stood up to greet him and said, "Since just now, I had a premonition that distinguished guests were coming, so I specially asked them to come." I was cleaning up, but I didn’t expect that Miss Leng would come here?”

"Do you know me?" Leng Xiyao was quite confused. Wuhundian wanted to cover up what happened in the past few days, so he didn't want even the owner of a pawn shop to know about it, right?

"I used to work as a handyman in the Leng family. Although I am retired now, I still have some connections. Naturally, I am not unaware of such a big news." The old man explained with a smile, and then changed his voice and asked: "I wonder what Miss Leng saw when she came to my shop?"

"It's like this. I have a very good friend. Her parents left her a jade pendant as a token. He picked it up and sold it. If you still keep it, I will be very grateful." Leng Xiyao said. .

She actually didn't have high expectations for this matter. It had been more than ten years, and it was estimated that the other party had already sold it.

But no matter what, in order to make Lan Lan feel at ease, she has to keep trying to find it along this line, right?

The old man fell into deep thought, then turned around, searched among the rows of lockers for a moment, and then took out a jade pendant.

"Look, is this the piece?"

Leng Xiyao took it and played with it. Although she didn't know much about jade, she could feel that the feel was definitely not the ordinary objects on the market. The word Menglan was engraved on it. The font looked vigorous and powerful. It looks like it was written by a master of calligraphy and painting.

An ordinary family would never be able to produce this kind of jade pendant, and at least it would be a family with a Contra in charge.

Leng Xiyao glanced at Qin Shouyi, who nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, this is it!"

Although the relics of Qin Menglan's parents were found, Leng Xiyao's brows furrowed.

First of all, this kind of family will never abandon their children, even in a family that favors sons over daughters. This can only mean that they had to abandon their children because of some major changes.

The second is the difficulty of searching. There are countless Contra and above families. If they appear in this Wuhun City, it also means that they may come from all over the world. There is no guarantee that they will be persecuted by the people of Wuhun Palace.

The most important thing is that this name has no surname, and it can't even be narrowed down. If you know the surname of the Lanlan family, it will basically be easy to find it, but now...

Unable to think of the result for a while, Leng Xiyao simply gave up and looked at the old man gratefully: "Thank you very much, old man. I wonder how much it will cost to redeem it?"

The old man waved his hand, "Miss Leng, please don't humiliate me. I only paid two silver coins for this jade pendant back then. I just didn't think this guy was a good person, so I lowered the price to this much." Low, this is not some shady businessman, you can just take it away if you want."

"But..."

Leng Xiyao was about to say something more, but the old man interrupted: "Even if you add the storage fee for more than ten years, it is only a dozen or twenty gold coins. Miss Leng should not waste words with me for this little money. .”

Speaking of which, Leng Xiyao didn't have much to say. After thinking for a moment, she took out an unattractive-looking ninth-level elixir from her storage soul guide and placed it on the ground, then pulled Qin Shouyi away. .

It is never the money that measures the value of an item, but the meaning of its production. There are many ninth-level elixirs in her place, and they are not even worth mentioning, but for an old man with Contra strength, this is definitely a huge sum. wealth.

Similarly, to others, this jade pendant is just a piece of jade that can be sold for money, but to her, it is the only thing left by Lan Lan's parents. She has to get it back even if she spends millions of gold soul coins. It is only natural that a ninth-level elixir should be given as a thank you.

After leaving the door, Qin Shouyi looked at Leng Xiyao and rubbed his hands: "Miss Leng, do you think...?"

People are always greedy. Although Leng Xiyao has helped him pay off the debt of [-] gold soul coins, he still wants to ask for more from the other party.

Leng Xiyao glanced at him and threw [-] gold soul coins over without saying anything.

Ten thousand gold soul coins, no matter how lavish he is, can still be enough for him to spend a few years. Of course, if the other party continues to gamble, he may be gone in a few days or months.

Leng Xiyao didn't bother to correct him. However, he and Lan Lan had probably left Wuhun City by then, and he would have to bear all the consequences by then...
