The old man slowly put down his hand that was touching his beard, the light in his old eyes gradually dimmed, and Mumu stared at the table in disappointment without saying a word.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a delicate hand slapped the table in front of the old man.
The man under his hand was holding three small talismans. Although their magic power was not as strong as the one on Liu Yu's wrist, it was half as strong. The writing was immature but had a touch of elegance. They were also rare talismans.
"I won't sell that one, but these are fine. Do you think they can match it?"
As soon as Liu Yu raised his hand, the old man carefully picked up the three talismans on the table, hugged them to his chest like a treasure, and then took out a dark red book from the cabinet under the table and gently put Lingbao's three "practice items" into it.
Next, the old man quickly packed the goods that Liu Yu wanted at an unusual speed.
The moment he finished packing, he lifted the full box with great effort and stuffed it into Liu Yu's arms. As soon as he let go, he anxiously pushed Liu Yu out of the store.
"Little girl, I've packed all your things for you. That's all I have to do today. You should go home early!"
Liu Yu stood at the door of the shop with a box that was as heavy as his chin. He watched the old man quickly close the shop door, lock the roller shutter, tuck the dark red book under his arm, and run away.
With my keen hearing, I could still faintly hear the old man's excited voice as he walked away: "Old Xu and Old Fu would be so jealous if they knew I got these treasures. I'm going to have my wife invite all the old people over for a meal today! Hahaha!"
Liu Yu opened her red lips slightly as she watched the old man's back gradually disappear, with a hint of amusement at the corners of her mouth.
Shaking her head, she carried the box onto the pedal of her electric scooter, avoided the crowd on the road, and found a dark alley to put the box away.
After a busy period, she had collected almost all the supplies. When she calculated carefully, there was not much time left. Maybe it was time to go back to S City to make final preparations.
As he was thinking, the sky gradually darkened and night was about to fall. Liu Yu turned around and drove out of the dark alley, deciding to eat something and then go back to the hotel.
These days she often goes back and forth to several surrounding counties to buy goods, so she simply lives in the town, which is about the same distance from all the counties, making it convenient for her to do business.
After dinner, Liu Yu rode his electric bike to the door of the small hotel, parked the bike in the parking lot, locked it, and then entered the hotel with ease.
The hotel is simply decorated, with a small lobby, large white walls, and dim lighting. But the advantage is the price, with a standard room only 30 yuan a night.
The standard room was less than 8 square meters and had two beds. She occupied one, and if someone else booked the other bed, she would have to share the room with that person. Of course, the hotel owner arranged for people of the same sex to share the room.
Fortunately, the other bed in her room was not booked for these two nights, so she enjoyed the single room alone for two nights, which was a good deal.
After nodding to the proprietress who was smoking at the front desk, Liu Yu went up to the second floor with his backpack. When he reached the door of the room, he heard loud and piercing DJ music coming from inside.
She frowned and then straightened her brows. She unlocked the door and walked in with an expressionless face.
As the door opened, a high-pitched female voice rang out: "Thank you, Brother Bangyi, for the hot pot. Niuniu is so happy. Want a song? Sure! Brother Bangyi can listen to anything he wants—"
Because the standard room did not have a toilet, the scene inside and outside was visible as soon as the door was opened. The two of them made eye contact instantly, and Liu Yu was the first to look away and turn around to close the door.
The flattering female voice over there paused for a second, then returned to its shrill and soft voice, humming the song in a coquettish voice.
Liu Yu walked towards the single bed by the window and saw the luggage bag that had been kicked askew. Without saying a word, he bent down, opened the bag and took out the toiletries.
Remembering that the toothpaste provided by the hotel was on the bedside table, she took the things and went to the small cabinet between the two beds to look for it. As a result, when she leaned over, half of Liu Yu's profile was reflected in the live camera of Lin Niu in the bed next to her.
The originally few comments suddenly began to surge.
"Wow, there's a beautiful lady back there!"
"Wow, that's beautiful!!"
"Beautiful Niuniu, please turn the camera so we can see your full face!"
Even her top brother spoke up: "Niuniu, who is this beauty?"
Lin Niu immediately turned sideways to block Liu Yu's face when she saw the barrage, and said with a sweet smile: "Hey, my roommate is from the countryside and can't speak Mandarin. Let Niu Niu sing a song for everyone, or dance for us!"
While Lin Niu was busy trying to win over her thousands of fans, Liu Yu remained calm. He grabbed his things, left the room, and headed straight for the public bathroom.
The hotel's public bathroom is not big and is divided into three small areas. The middle area is a long washbasin for men and women, and on both sides are enclosed shower rooms for men and women.
Liu Yu put the washbasin into the sink, filled it with water, and immersed her entire face in it to scrub vigorously, without any pity for her beauty that would make others jealous.
Just as Liu Yu was rudely beating herself up, she heard the distressed voices of a man and a woman talking to each other, and the girl's voice sounded more like she was about to cry.
"Brother, the summer vacation is half over. No one in the town is willing to go to our village to collect things. The town leaders don't even let us see them. They just tell us to wait! Wait! Wait! What should we do?" The girl's voice gradually choked as she spoke.
The other voice was a little rough, as if it was in the voice change period, "It's okay, brother will find a way."
It would have been fine if the boy hadn't said anything. But once he did, the girl became even more anxious and cried out, "What else can we do? The tomatoes in the field are rotting, and the potatoes and corn are already in bags. How many days can we wait?"
Liu Yu wiped the water off her face and glanced sideways at the two people not far away. The girl, dressed simply, noticed Liu Yu's gaze and thought her voice had disturbed her. She pinched her fingers awkwardly and whispered an apology: "I'm sorry."
The boy also stepped forward and nodded in apology.
Liu Yu didn't show any anger. After emptying the water in the basin, he approached them step by step.
The two freshmen swallowed their saliva. Seeing that Liu Yu had an aura that made him look tough, they thought they had met a tough guy and were going to get into trouble.
The boy, who was less than 1.8 meters tall, stood sideways in front of his sister. Just as he was about to beg for mercy, Liu Yu interrupted him: "How much does your village grow?"
Liu Yu's unexpected words left the two children unable to react for a moment, and for the next ten minutes the three of them stood by the public washbasin and got to know each other thoroughly.
Of course, this "thoroughness" was understood by the two young people who were not very worldly-wise.
Liu Yu has a good-looking appearance. When she is not smiling, she has a cold and aloof feeling. But when she smiles, she becomes immediately friendly and catches people off guard. Liu Yu has been using this skill freely in the past few days.
Within a few minutes, the two students had already taken to her. If it weren't for the lateness of the night, they would have taken Liu Yu to the village to look at the goods.
Liu Yu told them that she was a vegetable and fruit distributor in S City and was planning to purchase a batch of green agricultural products to sell in S City. She was a little interested in what they described.
The two children from Zhoucun were very honest. They told Liuyu Village that the only road was washed away by a sudden heavy rain a month ago, causing their long-term dealers to stop cooperating. That's why they came to the town for help.
Now the only way for their village to connect to the outside world is through a cave passage dug by their ancestors in ancient times. People can only carry things by hand, and cars cannot pass through at all.
