Make home in the bird's nest

The candles in the room were mostly burnt, and the long wicks made the flames burn brighter.

Stone stared at the firelight, put one hand on his swollen abdomen, and was slightly absent-minded.

He and Wu Li have a child, everything is so natural, if it hadn't come out this time, he might have to wait until the time of delivery to realize it.But can he have children?Aunt Li said that giving birth was very painful, and he was not a girl, and half of his lower body was occupied by his younger brother. That place must be smaller than normal women. Even women have dystocia, so it must be more difficult for him.

Thinking of the little baby in the swaddle, Shi Shi felt a dull pain in his abdomen. If such a big child were to get out, he must be dying of pain.

The more Shi Shi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his heart faintly wavered again.

Wu Li hugged Shi Shi's body from behind, covered the back of Shi Shi's hand with his big fiery palm, and whispered on the back of his neck: "Is it still uncomfortable? Stomach discomfort? Let me rub it for you."

The candle smoke drifted into the eyes, stimulating the stones to wet their eye sockets.Shi Shi blew out the candle with a few breaths, and turned over to face Wu Li.

"No, it's not uncomfortable anymore." Shitou glanced at Wuli and rested his head on his arm.

Wu Li breathed a sigh of relief: "I won't come out for the time being when I go back this time. I will accompany you out to play after the baby is born."

Shi Shi warmed up in his heart, gently hugged Wu Li's body, touched Wu Li's wing roots unconsciously, and asked, "Do you want a child?"

Without even thinking about it, Wu Li said: "Yes, I will take good care of them and take care of you." He is not a bird who likes chicks, but when he thinks of having children with his partner, he feels happy from the bottom of his heart. Strange, probably because of the mission of race continuation.

Stone's face became hot, and he responded in a low voice.

Forget it, don't think about it, anyway, Wu Li also wants it, even if it costs his life, he will give it a try, and if there are twins, the child should be younger.Stone thought luckily.

Shitou and Wuli worked hard all day, and slept until dawn the next day before waking up.

The Li family has already woken up. In the yard, children, big and small, are drying medicinal herbs, taking out pine nuts from their pockets to eat from time to time, their little faces full of laughter.

Seeing that they liked to eat, Shitou ran back to the room and grabbed a few handfuls of chestnuts and pine nuts for them. The children said in unison obediently: "Thank you sister."

Aunt Li's voice came from the direction of the kitchen: "You guys got up, and breakfast is just ready, let's eat together."

Shi Shi hurriedly said: "Don't bother, we are going out, just eat something outside."

Aunt Li didn't force her, she smiled and said, "Breakfast is noodles, which is not a good food, but you must come back to eat at noon."

Shitou is not very good at rejecting people, and he likes to eat Aunt Li's dishes, so he said with a smile: "Well, I will bring some vegetables back at noon, and I will help you cook together."

"You child, don't buy vegetables, we grow vegetables in our backyard." Aunt Li pretended to be displeased.

Shi Shi just smiled and didn't speak, thinking that he must buy some meat back, otherwise he really couldn't accept other people's kindness.

Wu Li didn't eat much all day, so he licked the corners of his mouth, and subconsciously looked around to search for prey, but he found that there were very few other animals in places where there were humans, and even if there were, they were raised by humans, which was really barren.

Seeing Wu Li's expression, Shi Shi knew that he was hungry. After washing, he took Wu Li back to the room, packed a catty of chestnuts and a catty of pine nuts in a small cloth, and left Li's house.

The pharmacy in front of Li's house was also open, Shitou glanced casually, and unexpectedly found that the person sitting in the pharmacy was an old man he didn't know.

The old man was quite surprised to see Shitou and Wuli walking out of the gate, and he took the initiative to talk to him: "Are you a patient who came to see measles?"

Shitou said: "Well, I'm a patient brought by Dr. Li, and I'm staying overnight. Are you...?"

The old doctor smiled and said, "I am the father of Doctor Li as you said."

Shi Shi hurriedly said respectfully: "Ah, Uncle Li."

It turned out that the old man was the father of Dr. Li, who lived in the family of the richer eldest son. In the past two years, he was busy with idle time, so he returned to the old pharmacy for consultation and sent his second son to collect medicine. The doctor who came back from collecting medicine.

Saying goodbye to the old doctor, Shi Shi hurriedly walked to the downtown with Wu Li.

Shitou swallowed his saliva while looking at the white steamed buns and steamed buns in the steamer of the steamed stuffed bun shop, and said with his hand, "What do you want to eat?"

Seeing Shi Shi staring at the buns, Wu Li pointed to the bun steamer.

Wu Mengniao is an omnivorous animal and can eat raw meat, wild vegetables and fruits. Wu Li also likes steamed stuffed buns, and Shi Shi bought steamed stuffed buns for him every day when he first escaped, so steamed stuffed buns also have a special feeling.

Stone bought ten meat buns and ten steamed buns, wrapped them in oiled paper, and ate them while walking.

The shops on the street opened one after another. Shitou was looking for small snack shops, and wanted to sell the goods in wholesale to these shops.

The chestnuts in Fairy Spirit Valley are more beautiful and delicious than ordinary chestnuts. He believes that they can definitely be sold at the price of two copper coins per catty, and the prices here are much higher than those in fishing villages, so they may be sold for three or four.

Shi Shi was full after eating two steamed buns and one steamed bun, so he brought everything over so that Wu Li could eat the buns.

While Wu Li was eating steamed buns, he saw several preserved fruit shops, and some people set up street stalls selling sweet potatoes and eggs on the side of the road, but he didn't see any chestnuts for sale.

Stone was puzzled, and searched for traces of chestnuts, but found no chestnuts.

Are the chestnuts here not yet ripe?I thought their chestnuts in the south are ripening fast, so it turns out that only the fairy valley is ripe?That's great.

Shitou was secretly happy, and hurriedly asked a few passers-by, the chestnuts would not come out until a month later, not much earlier than theirs.

After Wu Li finished eating the buns, he took Wu Li into the largest preserved fruit shop on this street.

Early in the morning, the frozen fruit shop was deserted, and there was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in the shop, who was cleaning the table. Seeing a customer come in, he hurriedly greeted him, "What do you want to buy?"

Stone glanced around the snacks in the shop, and said with a smile, "Excuse me, is the boss there?"

The boy looked at the fat boy in front of him, and said calmly: "My father is the boss, so tell me in advance if you have anything."

"Oh." Shitou walked to the counter, put two small cloth bags on the table, and said, "I'm here to discuss business, and here are the samples I brought."

The boy immediately said: "Our family has a special supplier, so we don't need your goods."

"But you don't have chestnuts yet. The chestnuts in our house are very delicious. You can try them." Shitou said, pulling the rope, opening the cloth bag and handing it to the young man.

The boy let out an "ah" and reached out to take a chestnut.Only then did he take a serious look at the stone, and said with a smile: "It's so early, Lizi, just wait, I'll call my dad."

Stone said: "Okay."

The teenager ran out from the back door of the shop, and soon came out with a fat man in his 40s.

"Do you have chestnuts?" the man cut to the chase.

Shitou knew something was going on when he heard it, and said with a smile, "Well, it only weighs more than 100 catties. I don't know what price you want?"

The boss signaled his son to keep cleaning up, and glanced at the burly man behind the stone, seeing his indifferent appearance, knowing that it was this half-child who made the decision, Dou Da's eyes flashed all over, and he said with a smile: "This is a purchase On the one hand, we all have a fixed source of goods, and generally we don’t look for wild chestnuts, but your chestnuts are indeed early enough, and I want them, but the purchase price must be much lower than the selling price on the market.”

Shi Shi didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "I know this, I have worked as a clerk in another shop, and I have a bottom line on how much the purchase price should be, so you can directly negotiate the price."

The boss was quite surprised, and it's not easy to slaughter people. He frowned and thought for a while and said, "Well, you give me all the goods, and I'll give you the price, three coins per catty."

Shitou was overjoyed, the price was a penny higher than that of their fishing village, and he guessed right.

Shi Shi was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. He clearly knew the importance of acting in business talks.

Shi Shi said solemnly: "Look at our chestnuts, which are plump and sweet. You can taste them. The raw ones are as sweet as fruit. Even in season, they shouldn't be at the price of Sanwen."

The boss peeled a chestnut, tasted it, nodded affirmatively, and said, "I only paid three coins because your chestnuts look good. This is already a very high price."

"Three Wen is too little, I want five." Shitou said.

The boss put on a serious face, and said displeasedly: "Five Wen is too high, raw chestnuts only sell for six Wen a catty, you have to make some money for me."

"Scarcity is the most expensive thing. I believe you can definitely make money at the purchase price of five cents." Shitou said confidently.

The boss frowned and thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said with a look of suffering, "That's not okay. I can pay four coins at most. This price is really sky-high."

Shi Shi hesitated for a moment, thinking that he could talk about five cents, but in the end he felt that he was too black-hearted, so he agreed.

"Okay, just Siwen." Shito opened the pocket of red pine nuts again, grabbed a handful of pine nuts, and said, "I still have pine nuts. If you want them, I'll make it cheaper together."

The boss had a smile on his face again, looked at the pine nuts, and his eyes lit up, but he still said: "No need, pine nuts are easy to store, and the price is expensive. We still have a lot in stock, and there are already suppliers. It’s not easy to get it from you.”

Shitou was a little disappointed, and said with a smile, "Then I'll give you this bag of pine nuts. If you like it, come to me, and I'll bring you the chestnuts right now."

"That's a good relationship, so I'll wait again." The boss said with a smile.

"Okay, we'll be here soon." After exchanging a few words with the boss, Shitou pulled Wuli out.

After leaving the shop, Shi Shi jumped up excitedly. Concerned that he was not far from the preserved fruit shop, he lowered his voice and said, "Great, that bag of chestnuts weighs more than 100 catties, and we can earn several taels of silver!"

Under the influence of the stone, Wu Li understood the importance of currency, and felt joy in his heart. When he saw the stone bouncing around, he quickly pulled him back and gave him a stern look.Both have children and are so active, raising this partner is like raising children.

Stone stuck out his tongue mischievously, took Wu Li's hand and said, "Let's go quickly."

☆、Chapter 37 Making Money

Shi Shi kept two catties of chestnuts, and weighed the remaining chestnuts at Li's house, and then took them all to the preserved fruit shop.

The chestnuts totaled 130 a catty, and Shitou got 520 four Wen from the boss, feeling very satisfied.

The boss immediately asked his wife to bring the chestnuts into the house for frying, and said to Shitou, "Your pine nuts are really good. They are big and plump. They must be made from old pine trees."

"You really know what to buy. It's made from a big pine tree. A tree can hold several bags of pine nuts. Do you want it?" Shito asked hopefully.

The boss looked at the pine nuts from his house. They were the same size and beautiful in color, but the size and taste were much inferior to those sent by the stone.He really wanted it, but there was still a lot of stock at home.

The boss hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't want their pine nuts.

Shitou didn't force it, and told the boss his current address, and asked him to go to Li's house to find him if he wanted, and then left after checking the price of pine nuts.

Stone took the pine nuts and asked several preserved fruit shops, but no one was willing to buy them. After looking all the way, he only found out the market price of pine nuts.

The price of pine nuts ranges from 41 to 25 yuan. The price of red pine nuts is slightly more expensive, and the price of better quality pine nuts costs [-] catties. Raw pine nuts cost [-] renminbi.

Shitou knew that the merchants of cheap goods would earn half and half, such as chestnuts, which would cost four cents to the boss, and selling raw chestnuts would probably cost eight cents.But the boss of more expensive products will not be so dark. Products with a raw material price of 25 pounds make about one-third of the profit. He estimates that the purchase price of 25 pounds of raw red pine nuts will be about [-] yuan.

If their pine nuts can be sold for fifteen yuan a catty, then 150 catties of pine nuts can be sold for two taels of silver.

Shitou settled the bill, and although he couldn't find a buyer, he was full of enthusiasm.In the preserved fruit shop, he also found pistachio, longevity fruit and other things that are also available in Fairy Spirit Valley, and the price is higher than pine nuts. He can bring these over this time next year.

Shitou couldn't walk anymore after asking for a whole morning. Seeing the weather, it was almost time for lunch, so he went to the vegetable market with Wu Li.

He eats meat every day in Fairy Spirit Valley, and he doesn’t need to spend money. Now it’s not worth it to spend money on meat and stones, and he’s tired of eating. He wants to eat green vegetables, but he buys some cheap vegetables when he lives and eats for nothing It's really ugly.

Shitou walked around, bought two catties of river prawns, a piece of beautiful pork belly, and then bought a roast chicken for Wuli, which cost more than [-] yuan.

Shi Shi entered Li's house with his things, and was immediately scolded by Aunt Li, saying that he was a waste of money.Shi Shi smiled shyly and went to the kitchen with the dishes.

The two prepared the ingredients together, and then Aunt Li was in charge of the cooking, and Shi Shi helped to burn the firewood, and they also felt very relaxed.

Doctor Li didn't come back at noon, so old doctor Li sat in his place.Wu Li had eaten roast chicken, but didn't eat much at the dinner table. He poked the yellow, white and white mixed grain rice in the bowl with a fork in his hand, and stared at the stone's face.

Shi Shi found that Wu Li was always staring at his mouth, swallowed the food in his mouth quickly, licked the corner of his mouth, but didn't find anything on it, so he asked in a low voice: "What do you think I am doing?"

Wu Li stared at Shi Shi's opening and closing mouth, and wanted to say something, but because there were people around, he just pursed his lips and turned his head away.

Shi Shi took out his handkerchief and wiped his face again, and continued eating without finding anything dirty.

After lunch, Shito took a nap, and when he woke up, it was already sunset time ([-]pm to [-]pm).

Shitou rubbed his sore legs, perhaps because he was pregnant. Shitou found that his physical condition was much worse, and he felt tired after walking all morning.

Worrying about tire inflation again, Shitou didn't dare to go further afield to find a buyer in the afternoon.

Anyway, it's okay to be idle, Shitou borrowed Aunt Li's pot and sand to fry ten catties of pine nuts, sprinkled them with edible salt, put them in a basket with broken steps, and took them out to set up a stall.

Shitou paid attention to the booth on purpose in the morning, and after searching for a while, he found a tailor shop with good traffic.He bought two bolts of cloth, two sets of linen quilt covers and one set of cotton quilt covers at the tailor shop, and gave the boss five copper coins to get permission to set up a stall in front of their shop.

On the right side of this tailor's shop there is a fat lady who sells oranges. The business seems to be good. The basket was full in the morning, but now more than half of it is gone.Shi Shi was also happy to see it, which proves that there is traffic in this place.

Stone came out with two large bags of pine nuts, 35 to 25 catties of raw ones, and [-] catties of cooked ones, and put price tags on them respectively.The stone is willing to sell at a lower price, but he is worried that destroying the market price may cause unnecessary trouble.

There was no business for a while, so Shitou lowered his head and peeled peach wood to make forks for Aunt Li's children.

Wu Li wrapped the animal skin cloak tightly, squatted obediently beside the stone, and glanced at him from time to time.

As soon as Shi Shi tilted his head, he saw Wu Li staring at his mouth, and asked curiously, "What do you think I am doing?"

Wu Li looked left and right, leaned close to Shi Shi's ear, covered his mouth with the back of his head, and said in a low voice, "See when you show your tongue."

Shi Shi was stunned for a moment, then let out a laugh, turned his head and stuck out his tongue at Wu Li, with the sound of sticking out his tongue.

Unexpectedly, Wu Li immediately went up and bit Shishi's mouth.

"Hmm!" Shitou's eyes widened immediately, he only felt a pain at the base of his tongue, and then he felt the warmth of his mouth with his tongue in it, the unfamiliar mouth made his tongue extremely sensitive, and he felt that Wuli's mouth was so soft and hot.

Although the taste is clear, but the time has only passed for a moment.Shi Shi's face flushed immediately, and he hastily withdrew his tongue.

Shi Shi pushed Wu Li away, covered his mouth and said, "It hurts me so much from you biting me." He stroked his mouth as he spoke, the swollen and painful tongue still seemed to have the breath of Wu Li, and the saliva on it did not know whose.

Shi Shi suddenly withdrew his tongue, swept it to Wu Li's lips, and stained a small amount of saliva.Satisfied, Wu Li smacked his mouth, raised his hand and wiped the water on his mouth with his sleeve.

Shi Shi shrank back, looked around with a warm face, and found that there were indeed a few people staring at them, with ambiguous smiles on their faces, and suddenly felt ashamed.

Stone Heart beat non-stop, and complained in a low voice, "Why did you bite me all of a sudden!"

Wu Li tilted his head and thought for a while, then said in a low voice, "The red one is very cute."

Shitou's face turned even redder. Seeing that the aunt next to her was also looking at them, as if she didn't see what happened just now, her expression was blank and curious.

Shi Shi didn't even have the courage to talk to Wu Li, he wanted to bury his face in his neck.

At this time, a spectator came over and bent over to ask, "Can I try these pine nuts?"

Shi Shi quickly raised his head, his face was red to the neck, his voice was blunt, as if he was scalded by a hot throat: "Yes, you can taste it, it's delicious." To the guest, and then see the guest's face clearly.

The guest picked it up, peeled and tasted it, and found the price to be good, the taste was good, and the boss was generous and honest. He was embarrassed not to buy it because he wanted to join in the fun, so he bought a pound of ripe pine nuts.

In this way, the two stalls opened and made 35 Wen.

Later, they did several businesses one after another. Most of the buyers of ripe pine nuts were men, and most of the buyers of raw pine nuts were young women.Most families have sand specially made for frying melon seeds and peas, and they would rather spend a little effort to save unnecessary money.

After such a day, Shitou received more than 100 Wen, and he was still happy.Old Doctor Li said that his body needs to recuperate for a few days. For him, sitting still and selling things is rest.Seeing that he can also make money by setting up a street stall, he is not in a hurry to wholesale. The next day he brought pine nuts to set up a street stall here. Excluding the ten Wen that he gave to the tailor shop every day, he could still save two to three hundred Wen in a day.

These days, Shitou and Wuli are both living at Dr. Li's house. Shitou said he was going to stay in a hotel, but the Li family enthusiastically stayed.In order not to trouble them, Shito minimized his sense of presence, squatting outside all day selling pine nuts, and only brought some vegetables back at night to have a meal with the Li family.

After five days of cultivation, the stone has stabilized.

These days selling pine nuts earned a tael of silver, but there were still a hundred catties of pine nuts left. Seeing that Wu Li became impatient, Shi Shi wanted to sell all the goods in his hand.

Two days ago, his chestnut seller's boss came to him and expressed his willingness to buy all his pine nuts, but they must be all of them, and he was not allowed to sell them privately, saying that they would make their shops unable to sell them.At that time, Shi Shi was reluctant to part with more than 300 copper coins a day, so he didn't agree immediately, and agreed to sell them all to him when they left.

So early in the morning, Shito brought all the pine nuts here with Wuli, planning to sell the rest until the evening, and then hand over the rest to the owner of the preserved fruit shop.

Not long after breakfast, Shi Shi's stomach started to growl. He had eaten too much these nights, and his stomach was getting bigger and his appetite was getting bigger.

Shi Shi asked, "Wuli, I'm going to buy food, do you want some?"

Wu Li shook his head.

"Then take care of the stall. If someone comes to buy something, you can just give him the pine nuts wrapped in leaves." Stone put the pine nuts wrapped in leaves beside him, and said, "My side is cooked, yours is raw. When someone asks you the price, you just point to the brand.”

Wu Li nodded.

Shi Shi stood up and moved his tibia, swallowed his saliva and left.

Shi Shi bought a thick meatloaf and stopped by the preserved fruit shop.

I don't know what price they paid for the chestnuts, so let's go and have a look, and tell the boss about the pine nuts by the way.

From a distance, Shitou saw crowds around the entrance of this preserved fruit shop, as if selling things at the gate, but when he got closer, he realized that they were selling chestnuts.

"Wow~" Shitou was slightly surprised. He didn't expect the business to be so good. He went up to have a look and found that they sold the chestnuts for 23 Wen a catty.

Stone suddenly became anxious.

Profiteer! ! !It's twice as expensive as their fishing village, so I wouldn't let it go if I knew it earlier, and insisted on five cents a catty.

Seeing Shi Shi, the boss quickly smiled and said, "Oh, brother Shi Shi, you are here."

"Yeah." Stone replied politely, and couldn't help looking at the chestnuts, and found that they were really good-looking, shiny and delicious, and they were also packed in a fishnet-shaped bag woven with hemp rope, which was very convenient. It can be used to hold other things in the future, which is really attractive.

The boss guessed Shi Shi's thoughts when he saw Shi Shi's eyes. He generously picked up a bag of one-jin chestnuts and threw them to Shi Shi.

"Thank you." Shi Shi was not polite, took a chestnut and ate it. It seemed to be delicious, sweet and soft noodles, and the taste was much better than the one he roasted in the fire, better than any he had ever eaten eat.

Shitou felt balanced in his heart, comforting himself that it was delicious fried by others.Although this also has something to do with the quality of chestnuts.

Shitou told the boss about the pine nuts, because there are many people buying chestnuts now, and he didn't discuss the price, so he left after saying a few words.

Wu Li sat silently in front of the stall, picking up the wood that the stone had been carving all day with his gloved hands.It could be seen from the outline that it was a bird, and Wu Li couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

A bright color burst into the corner of Wu Li's eyes, and Wu Li glanced at it casually, then just froze.

A woman in a pink dress and a white mink cloak stopped in front of the stall, turned her head and gave Wu Li a condescending look.She was wearing a pink veil, a pair of almond eyes were lively, and she was combing an elegant flying bun. A gust of wind blew up and lifted a few strands of soft hair on her cheeks, and a few strands of fragrance seemed to penetrate into the wind.

The maid behind the woman immediately asked loudly: "Seller of pine nuts, we want all of these, how much?"

Wu Li stared at the woman in the pink skirt, not the maid.

The servant girl suddenly said angrily: "Hey! I'm talking to you! If you come to my lady, believe it or not, I'll dig out your eyeballs!"

The woman glanced at the servant girl, and said softly, "Okay, let's go home after buying the pine nuts." As she said that, she threw two ingots of silver in front of the stall, her slightly bent eyes seemed to smile.

Wu Li stared at her blankly, bent down to pick up the silver, put it into the purse on his waist, then raised his head and continued to stare at the woman.

The maid stared at the strange man squatting on the ground, stomped her feet and said dissatisfiedly: "Miss~"

The woman ignored the maid, turned around and walked away Shi Shiran.The two guards following her immediately removed everything in front of Wu Li.

Wu Li stared at her back obsessively, until the pedestrian's figure was submerged in the crowd, then he looked away.

When I lowered my head, I found a pink handkerchief dropped in front of the booth.Wu Li tilted his head, leaned over to pick it up, and immediately felt a burst of fragrance in his nose.

"Ah!" Wu Li sneezed loudly, quickly removed the handkerchief, and was relieved to see that it wasn't dirty.

Wu Li clumsily folded the handkerchief with his animal-skin glove, and carefully put it into his sleeve.

When Shi Shi came back, he had finished eating the cakes and was peeling chestnuts to eat. Seeing that the stall guarded by Wu Li was empty, there were only two packs of two catties of pine nuts that he specially wrapped in leaves, and he ran over quickly.

Shi Shi supported his waist with one hand, panting and said: "Wuli, where are the pine nuts?"

As soon as Wu Li saw the stone, he looked at him eagerly. As he approached, Wu Li raised his head higher and higher, his eyes seemed to be on fire, and his face was slightly red.

Shi Shi hurriedly sat beside him, approached Wu Li and asked, "Where are the pine nuts? They won't be cheated by others, right? So many pine nuts will cost a lot of money."

Wu Li glanced around quickly, his mouth was almost in Shitou's ear, and after a pause, he whispered: "Just now, you were very good-looking."

"Ah?" Stone's face became hot, and he dodged it a little, adjusted his clothes and said, "Didn't I just like this? Well... I brought chestnuts fried with sugar, it's delicious, you can try it."

Wu Li didn't pick it up, it's the middle of the day, it's just past the time to buy vegetables for breakfast, and it's too early for idlers, so there are not many people on the road.

Seeing that there was no one around, Wu Li approached the stone again: "It looks good and smells good."

"Ah?" Shitou was stunned, and suddenly smelled an elegant fragrance, not like the fragrance of flowers, nor like the smell of powder from a more refined girl in a fishing village. Can't smell it, it makes people yearn even more.

Shi Shi shrugged his nose, sniffed Wuli carefully, and said strangely: "Huh? What did you do? Why is there a scent on your body? By the way, where are our pine nuts?" Maybe someone moved Wuli away when he left Come on!Thinking of the stone here, I can't stop complaining. It took so much hard work to move here. Even if I sell it to the preserved fruit shop, I can earn more than a tael of silver.

Wu Li looked at Shi Shi strangely: "Didn't you ask someone to move it away?" Then he took out a pink silk scarf from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Shi: "You dropped it just now." Then he turned his head unnaturally.

Shi Shi took the silk scarf in a daze, and it turned out to be silk.Shi Shi hung his calloused fingers on the fine sand, feeling that his fingers were rough, as if the silk scarf would be broken if he touched it.

The stone was carefully opened, and there was a delicate golden phoenix embroidered on the handkerchief, which matched the pink background of the handkerchief. There were three beautiful small characters embroidered in one corner, which should be the name of the owner. Things from my daughter's house.

Shi Shi suddenly understood, glared at Wu Li, threw the handkerchief to Wu Li's chest, and said dumbfoundingly: "You have admitted the wrong person! How could I have such a thing! The pine nuts were taken away by her? Did you give me the money?"

Wu Li's face was in disbelief, and when he realized it, his face turned red and then blue, which was really pretty.Seeing the red cloth falling on his chest, Wu Li immediately threw out the handkerchief with disgust on his face.

The soft handkerchief was blown back by the wind, and the fragrance in the air was more obvious.The strange fragrance made Wuli sniff a few times.Wu Li waved his hands again and again, waving away the air in front of him.

Stone is very angry and funny. In Fairy Valley, he easily mistook birds. He didn’t expect that a Wumeng bird in Wuli would also misunderstand people. So in the eyes of Wumeng birds, are they human beings the same as humans see other animals?

But it's too exaggerated for him to treat a girl as a human being, and he doesn't even regard the mother bird as a Uli.By the way, what does the mother bird look like?It seems that I haven't seen it yet.

At this time, the aunt next door interjected enviously: "You guys are so lucky, you sold so many things in one go, and they gave you a full 20 taels of silver!"

"Wow~" Shitou was pleasantly surprised, and Lala Wuli's sleeve asked, "Where's the silver?"

Wu Li was cleaning his scented sleeves, when he heard this, he threw the money bag to the stone with a dark face.

When I pinched the stone, there were two more ingots of silver. Today is really lucky.

"Now we can go back today." Shitou said with a smile, glanced at the clean pink handkerchief in front of him, picked it up, turned his head and smiled at the aunt who sold oranges: "Auntie, do you know who bought our things? Who? I sent her the handkerchief back, it's a pity to lose such a good thing."

The aunt curled her lips, she was a little jealous of the young couple, and said calmly: "I don't know about this." Then she said with a well-informed attitude: "But I know that the maid who is following that young lady , is from the City Lord's Mansion of Phoenix City, and often comes to buy some new things. And that lady has her hair in a bun that hasn't come out of the cabinet, so she should be a daughter of the City Lord's Mansion."

Shi Shi was secretly startled, he did not expect to meet such a prominent person.

"Then do you know where the city lord's residence is?" Shito asked.

The aunt said: "It's just ahead, walk straight for a quarter of an hour."

"Thank you." Shitou saw that the aunt's complexion was not good, so he handed her a pack of uncooked pine nuts: "We are going back today, and this pack of pine nuts will be given to you."

The aunt's eyes lit up immediately, and she took it immediately, with a smile on her face: "Thank you, you are such a good boy." As she spoke, her bright eyes glanced at the remaining pack of pine nuts, obviously wanting it too.Since we are going to leave, the other bag can also be given away.

The fat aunt's eyes were very straightforward, without any concealment, Shi Shi saw her thoughts at a glance, a little displeased, but still said with a smile on his face: "I will leave the remaining bag for my brothers and sisters."

The aunt curled her lips, put the pine nuts aside and did not speak again.

Stone ignored it as if he hadn't seen it.

There were scales, baskets, benches and other things in the stall, and it was very inconvenient to carry them around, so Shi Shi said to Wu Li, "You stay here and guard the stall, and I will return the handkerchief and come back."

Wu Li was still cleaning the scent from his hands, smelling it on his body, frowning so much that he could almost catch flies, when he heard Shi Shi's words, he just glanced at him expressionlessly, and responded in a low voice.

Stone went away with the handkerchief.

Shi Shi walked along the street for a while, and he saw a majestic mansion. From the stone lions at the entrance to the golden plaque on the dark red gate, they all showed the nobility of a wealthy family.

There were two guards in dark blue clothes standing at the gate. Stone stood on the street, took a deep breath and strengthened his courage, straightened his back and walked over.

When the guard moved, Shi Shi hurriedly said: "I'm here to return something." He took out a handkerchief and handed it out, carefully said: "I just picked it up on the road, I heard it was something lost by your family, so I brought it here .”

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them turned his head and shouted: "Bold, I think you are like a toad eating swan meat!" Then he gave the person next to him a wink and said, "Let's arrest him first! Hand it over to the steward disposal."

Even if he really came to return the handkerchief, if a man touched the girl's personal belongings, it would be regarded as tarnishing her reputation. If they just sent the handkerchief in like this, they would probably be punished. Determined from above.

"I didn't!" Shitou panicked, took a step back reflexively, and puffed out his belly without thinking about it. The four-month-old belly became more conspicuous, and suddenly changed from a fat boy to a big belly woman.

The guard paused.

It turned out to be a pregnant woman, so there would be no defilement.

Seeing the two of them stop, Shitou breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time looked embarrassed. He didn't expect to have to use this method to escape. The big family is very particular, so if I knew it, I wouldn't have sent it.

The stone was like a hot potato, and he handed a handkerchief to a guard, and said hurriedly: "Then I will go first." Then he turned and walked away in a hurry.

The guard holding the handkerchief trembled, and looked at his companion without tears: "You have to go with me."

The other person looked at the gray figure who was walking away quickly, and muttered, "I think that person looks familiar!"

The guard with the handkerchief rolled his eyes: "I think you look familiar with beautiful girls, don't forget that she is a married woman!"

"Hey! I'm serious!" The guard looked away, kicked him, and said, "You have to go by yourself, who will watch the door after we're all gone!"

"I think you just don't dare to go!" The guard with the handkerchief patted his trousers and walked away grumbling.

Somewhere in Feng Mansion, a delicate-looking woman was sitting on a swing covered with flowers and green vines, swinging the swing gently, and the blue silk draped over her shoulders fluttered happily with her shaking.

The green-clothed maid standing behind her pushing the swing said dissatisfiedly: "Miss, why don't you let me teach that apprentice!"

Feng Qingxue recalled something, her face flushed, and she showed a bit of a little girl's attitude: "He is not a disciple. You don't know, the eyes he looks at me are so focused, serious, passionate, and blazing... like Just pretend to be one person." Feng Qingxue lowered her head and pursed her lips into a smile as she spoke, and said in aftertaste: "He is very special, I have never seen anyone with such a look in his eyes."

"It's just a reckless man in the mountains!" The servant girl pouted and said disdainfully.

Feng Qingxue's eyes turned cold, her feet lightly landed on the ground, and she said sharply, "Presumptuous!"

Lu Yi shuddered, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "My maidservant made a mistake, please calm down, miss."

Lu Yi no longer dared to say a word of Yue Ba, and was secretly shocked.The young lady usually dotes on her the most, but she never thought that she would get angry at herself for a commonplace person. She really made a mistake this time.

"I think I spoiled you too much,
