tiger wife

Chapter 8 Escape

The fat man was about to go back after drinking the porridge, but He Lanxiu hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Don't go yet."

"You won't regret giving me that bowl of porridge, right? Let me tell you, I've already drank it to the stomach, so I can't regret it anymore!"

"How do you know how to eat?" He Lanxiu's tone was a bit contemptuous, he was not a patient person, so he grabbed the fat man and said, "Take me to the place we went to last time to see."

"What?"

"Go and see if that person is still there. After all, we have saved him, so we have to take a look at him whether he is dead or alive?"

"You must be full, and you still have to run so far... Let's go, let's go, I'll give the bag to old man Zhang before we go."

They finally ran to the woods where they rescued people last time and took a look, but there was nothing, only the blood he sucked out at the root of the tree had turned black.His heart sank for a moment, and he heard the fat man say, "Isn't it because the wolf took it away? There are a lot of tigers, wolves and beasts here at night."

"It's also possible that he woke up and rode away from here." He Lanxiu sighed, and sat on the grass beside him: "Anyway, I did my best, and life or death is none of my business."

There was a trace of embarrassment on the fat man's face, and he smiled mischievously and said, "Actually... Actually, I took that horse away."

"What?" He Lanxiu was taken aback, and immediately got up from the ground: "You took it away?"

The fat man suddenly gained confidence, held his head up and said, "Of course, you were unconscious at the time after being poisoned, how can I carry you back by myself, of course I have to carry you on a horse."

"What about the horse?"

"The horse... ran away!"

He Lanxiu is not a foolish kid anymore, she could tell at a glance that the fat man was fooling him, she frowned and said, "Don't do this with me, I'll ask you, where did you go, eat?"

There is still a reason for his suspicion. It is possible that the group of beggars have not seen meat for many years, and finally caught a horse to eat and satisfy their hunger.Fatty shook his head and said, "No, no, how can I be so cruel!"

"Then where did you take it?"

"Hey hey hey." The fat man smiled naively, but his small eyes twitched, and said, "I...I sold it. I'm a little beggar, and I can't take it to beg."

The corner of He Lanxiu's mouth twitched slightly, and asked, "How much did you sell?"

Speaking of this fat man suddenly became excited, his eyebrows were beaming, and he said, "You don't know, that horse is so valuable. I only wanted to sell it for a few days' food, but I didn't expect it to sell for ten taels of silver!"

He Lanxiu has only been here for a few days, and he doesn't know whether ten taels of silver is too much or too little.He used to watch TV, and there were thousands of taels on the TV. He used to think that there were a lot of silver in ancient times, and one tael was not considered money. count less.He felt that it might be due to different times and different currency values.He stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it."

Fatty's expression changed all of a sudden: "I'll give it all to you??!"

"At least give me half of it. If it wasn't for me, where would you get the horse?"

"But I saved your life. Why are you like this? An eldest young master is still such a money fanatic. You can see this little money in your eyes."

"Stop talking nonsense, take the money and take the money, the two of us are half!" He Lanxiu was a little excited, he had never seen ancient silver, this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes, even if it was not for the silver, it would be good to open his eyes.The fat man reluctantly took out a cloth bag from his pocket, and said, "I found someone to sell this... You don't know how nervous I was when I sold the horse. The owner who bought the horse thought I was a thief." Well, keep staring at me. Is it easy for me to sell this little money, you say I saved your life, and I still help you like this, and you still share my money..."

"Stop talking nonsense, my brother is still clear about it. I'm penniless now, and I need money if you want it." He Lanxiu said, and grabbed half of the money over, the fat man's face was about to cry. His eyes were shining brightly, as if he was going to kill him.He glanced at it, and then handed the fat man a small piece of broken silver: "I'll give you some more, that's fine. I didn't eat anything just now, and I want money to eat. At worst, I'll pay it back later when I earn money." for you."

"You, make money?" The fat man looked at him contemptuously: "What are you pointing at to make money? You can't carry it on your shoulders, and you still make money. How can you spend this money on food? Isn't it just the things you usually beg for?" Is it enough to eat, money should be saved up, it will come in handy when you usually have a headache or in an emergency.”

He Lanxiu sighed, and said: "You don't understand this, people who can spend money can earn money. If you see someone who is saving money and getting rich, walk around and I will treat you to dinner."

As he spoke, he happily put the money into his bosom, and walked back with his arms around the fat man's shoulders. Of course, the fat man couldn't be happy. The money that belonged to him suddenly lost half of it for no reason. He felt sad before it was too late. Muttering, he said, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have saved you."

He Lanxiu smiled secretly, and said, "You are a good person. I will never forget you when I become developed."

He took the fat man into a tavern, and he didn't know where to eat. Of course, the tavern mainly serves wine, but there are also some side dishes.He Lanxiu didn't expect much at first, but he didn't expect the food in this tavern to be okay, and he didn't know if it was because he was hungry.He and the fat man wolfed down the meal, and the waiter next to them stood closely beside them and stared at them, as if he was afraid that the two of them would not give the money.The fat man said in a low voice, "Thanks to the clothes you are wearing, otherwise the two of us might not be able to get in."

He Lanxiu took a look at herself, it was true, although his clothes were a little bit torn, old man Zhang helped him mend them back then, and they looked decent, at least he didn't look like a beggar, it was better than the clothes worn by the fat man. The piece is much stronger.He glanced around and asked in a low voice, "Fatty, have you ever eaten the overlord's meal?"

Unexpectedly, Fatty was not a very good person, and he wanted to save face. He frowned and said, "I'm not called Fatty, I'm Zhang Xiaohuang."

He Lanxiu burst out laughing, and said, "Zhang Xiaohuang, Zhang Xiaohuang. Zhang Xiaohuang... have you ever eaten the overlord's meal?"

The fat man was stunned for a moment, with the roasted chicken skin still on his mouth, he asked, "What is Overlord Meal?"

He Lanxiu glanced at the shop waiter next to him, leaned in front of the fat man and said in a low voice, "I just don't pay for food."

The fat man was taken aback, his small eyes were wide open: "You don't get paid for food?!"

He Lanxiu patted the fat man's head with a photo, his face was immediately filled with a smile, he took out the money from his pocket, and said to the waiter who had already squinted his eyes: "If you have money, how can you not give it to you when you eat?" Money. How about we settle it now?"

As soon as the waiter in the shop heard this, he immediately came up and said, "It's a total of two slings."

He Lanxiu was stunned when he heard that, looked back at the fat man, and then looked at the waiter again: "Two pennies..." He took out a small piece of silver and asked, "Is this enough?"

The fat man's eyes widened when he heard it, and he quickly grabbed him and said, "You are really stupid, don't you recognize money??!"

He smiled at the shop waiter, and said coyly, "Wait a minute, I'll get married later."

The waiter at the shop probably saw that he was rich, and thought he was a young master from a rich family who showed kindness to take the little beggars on the street to eat, so he was not afraid that he would not give the money, and went to work behind the counter.He Lanxiu said in a low voice: "I don't even know this money, please tell me quickly, how did you use this money in ancient times, how much is a penny?"

The fat man frowned and looked at him, as if wondering if he was fooling him, put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "You won't really lose your memory, you won't even know this... But it's no wonder, you used to It’s the rich young master, there are entourages with you when you go out, and you don’t need to pay.” He said to He Lanxiu: “Hey, in this world, you don’t have to know or understand anything, but money is something you have to pay for. You have to recognize and understand that 100 Wen is a penny, and 10 pennies is a penny, that is, one tael of silver."

He Lanxiu was surprised, and asked: "That one tael of silver is 1000 Wen. Can I buy a lot of things? I have more than four taels of silver. Can I open a restaurant? I can stay in a hotel for many days. Save some money." If you don't do anything, is it enough to eat for half a month?"

The fat man looked at him as if he saw an alien, and said, "I haven't finished yet."

"Okay, okay, go on."

"Above silver, of course it is gold. 100 taels of silver can be converted into one tael of gold. If we can save one tael of gold in this life, it is enough to marry a wife and raise children."

The concept of marriage and love in ancient times is really early enough, this fat man seems to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is thinking about marrying a wife.He looked at the broken silver in his hand, and asked again: "Then there are big and small silver in my hand, which one is one tael, and how do I spend it?"

"It's broken silver. If you want to weigh it with a scale, it's a penny."

He Lanxiu didn't understand what money was, but he felt that it would be good if he knew how to spend money. The time travel dramas he watched before were really not up to standard, and they didn't even teach him how to use money in ancient times.What made him even more happy was that he knew that he was also a rich man now, so he frowned and looked at the fat man.

The fat man was terrified by his look, and asked warily, "What are you looking at?"

"It turns out that ten taels of silver is so valuable, and you still want to take it for yourself??!" This fat man is not only a money fanatic, but also stingy. If he got ten taels of silver, he would have gone to other places to do small business. Little beggar, really has no ambition.The fat man smiled embarrassingly, and said, "Isn't this going to be divided in half with you in the end? The few taels of silver are actually not much, and even the bride price is not enough to marry a daughter-in-law..."

He Lanxiu hurriedly picked up the silver carefully, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

The fat man froze for a moment, and said, "I haven't finished eating yet, what a waste of what's left."

"Then go ahead and eat. You have money anyway, so you paid for the meal." He Lanxiu stood up as he spoke. The fat man was taken aback. On the ground, the fat man was so scared that he immediately chased after him. The tavern owner saw it and immediately shouted to the waiter behind the counter: "No money, no money, come after me!"

The fat man ran fast, with the wind whizzing under his feet, but no matter how fast he ran, he was not as fast as He Lanxiu, not even the waiter in the shop.Seeing that the waiter was about to catch up, he burst into tears, shaking his hands and shouting, "Master Helan, Master Helan!"

He Lan's surname seemed to be very eye-catching. Many people looked at Fatty's shout, and He Lanxiu ran even faster in fright. He didn't know how many streets he had gone around. When he looked back, Fatty was gone.
