Yellow crumbs of fried dough sticks clung to the old man's eyebrows, while black soy milk slowly flowed down the wrinkles of his face and dripped along his beard...
"Well, Grandpa, I went to sell the pigs..."
Lai Siyu greased the soles of his feet and ran away.
"Stop!" The old man raised his hand and performed a dust-cleansing spell, and his face immediately became clean.
After hearing the sound, Lai Siyu stepped back awkwardly, laughing.
"Girl, you are always so noisy. How will you get married in the future?" The old man flicked Lai Siyu's head with his finger.
"Ouch..." Lai Siyu covered her forehead, her face wrinkled. "Grandpa, you're too harsh. I'm not smart to begin with, and you hitting me like this from time to time makes me even dumber. If I can't get married, you deserve to control me for the rest of my life."
"If you really can't get married, Brother Erniu will marry you! Haha~" Erniu appeared at the gate of the courtyard with a cow and happened to hear the conversation between the grandfather and grandson.
"Erniu, don't wait until later, marry her now." The old man pointed at Lai Siyu.
"Grandpa, Brother Erniu, you two are just teasing me. Humph, don't even think about eating the food I cook in the future..." Lai Siyu was depressed. Why did Brother Erniu just take advantage of the situation?
Seeing Lai Siyu's frustrated look, the old man and Erniu burst into laughter, and even the old cow started to moo.
This time, because Lai Siyu and Niu Er sold a large number of pigs and sheep, the old man gave them a paper talisman boat for transportation.
With the small boat as a means of transportation, the old cow was left in the old man's yard.
The ten-foot-long boat could not hold ten sheep and six fat pigs. Helplessly, Lai Siyu had to tie the two heaviest pigs with a wooden frame and still carry them on her back. After getting on the boat, she stood close to the stern and hung the two fat pigs outside the boat.
Erniu was riding on a pig and holding a sheep in his arms, so that the boat could barely accommodate the group of people and animals.
The boat took off with a creaking sound and was about twenty meters above the ground. Perhaps because the things on the boat were too heavy, the boat flew very slowly and swayed all the way, as if it might fall at any time.
Along the way, Lai Siyu's heart was in her throat, fearing that the boat would fall down due to the heavy load.
Normally, it would only take half an hour for the Fu ship to fly from Qingyun Gate to Qingyun Town, but Lai Siyu and her crew's ship was overloaded, and it took a full hour to reach Qingyun Town.
The boat flew slowly, but it descended very quickly. Maybe this is the so-called acceleration of gravity.
Lai Siyu and Erniu got off the boat outside the town. She put away the boat, untied the two fat pigs on its back, followed Erniu, driving the pigs into the town.
The two separated shortly after entering the town. Erniu was going to Zhang Yangrou's house to sell sheep, and Lai Siyu was going to Liu the Butcher's house to sell pigs. Unfortunately, the two houses were far away from each other, so the two agreed to wait outside the town gate after finishing their business.
The beginning of the year lies in spring, and the beginning of the day lies in the morning.
People who go to the market always gather in the morning, and the streets are crowded. Lai Siyu drives six pigs and moves forward with difficulty among the crowd, with beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead.
I’ve never been so tired even when carrying a pig!
"Ah!" A scream exploded in the crowd, and passers-by stopped to look for the source of the sound.
I'm in trouble! Lai Siyu was sweating profusely. The fat pig walking in front had pushed the butt of a girl in a green dress.
"Sorry! Sorry! This pig didn't mean it!" Lai Siyu immediately put on a smile and stepped forward to apologize.
But at this moment, the ignorant pig pushed twice again.
Lai Siyu was furious and slapped the fat pig twice, cursing, "You're still digging here. Do you think this is your pigpen?"
There was laughter all around. The woman in the green dress was so angry that her face turned red. She turned around and was about to explode, but the middle-aged man next to her got there before her and grabbed Lai Siyu's hand.
"Thinking of Rain..."
Lai Siyu was startled and looked up to see a gentle smiling face, but this face was like a death threat to Lai Siyu.
The fear of this face originated from Lai Siyu's body. It was this body's instinctive fear of him. Even the brand new Lai Siyu who came through time and space could not suppress or eliminate this fear.
"Second Uncle..." Lai Siyu's face was pale and her back was soaked with cold sweat.
It turned out to be a family. The onlookers who wanted to watch the fun dispersed disappointedly.
"Bitch!" The girl in the green dress was Lai Sichun. She raised her hand and slapped Lai Siyu, but Lai Siyu dodged it.
"Bitch, you actually dare to hide!" Lai Sichun's pretty face was dark, and she wanted to get angry, but Lai Yougui stopped her with his eyes.
Lai Sichun's two calls of "bitch" woke Lai Siyu up. Why should she be afraid? She was not the original owner!
However, although Lai Sichun was only at the third level of Qi training, Lai Yougui was at the fifth level. She was not afraid of Lai Sichun, but she was not sure she could deal with Lai Yougui, who was also at the fifth level of Qi training. After all, Lai Yougui had practiced for many years, while Lai Siyu had just reached the fifth level and had not even learned a single proper offensive spell.
what to do?
Now they were in the visiting market of Qingyun Town. Lai Siyu was sure that Lai Yougui would not dare to act rashly, so she had to find a way to get rid of him here.
"Siyu, Second Uncle has been looking for you so hard," Lai Yougui said, grabbing Lai Siyu's shoulders. "You must have suffered a lot out there these years. Second Uncle is sorry for you. Come back with Second Uncle. Second Uncle will definitely make up for all the things he owes you..."
"Uncle, I still have to send the pigs to Butcher Liu's house. Otherwise, you can tell me where you live and I will come to find you later." Lai Siyu said weakly, her voice as soft as a mosquito. Damn, this body's deep-rooted fear of Lai Yougui is indeed not so easy to overcome.
"Sending the pigs, this is a big deal, let your uncle go with you."
"No need, uncle. It's very dirty there. I can go there alone..."
Lai Sichun, who was covering her nose, was already impatient. She looked at Lai Siyu with disgust and said, "Dad, why waste time talking to her? Just take her back!"
"Chun'er, how can you talk to Siyu like that? She is your sister!" Lai Yougui turned around and scolded Lai Sichun.
"Siyu, Second Uncle lives in Room 3, Building A, Fuyuan Inn. Come over after you deliver the pig. Don't delay. Second Uncle will be waiting for you."
"Yeah, I will definitely not delay. I'm leaving, Second Uncle."
As soon as Lai Yougui let go, Lai Siyu drove the pigs away. She couldn't show any anxiety, and there were so many people on the street that she couldn't be anxious even if she wanted to.
But the strange thing was, why would Lai Yougui let her go so easily? Did he really believe her lies about going to find him later?
It's impossible. According to the original owner's memory, Lai Yougui is clearly an old fox. There's no way he would let her go so easily...
