Yunxi originally had no impression of Yunlai, after all, in her memory, he was just an eight-year-old little kid.
But I never expected that the words she uttered would be so vicious, just as vicious as her two older sisters.
Thinking of her five-year-old brother Yunwang, Yunxi felt that the four sisters had grown up in the same environment, and even though she was still young, her temperament was unlikely to be any better.
Yunxi's detour to this side was worthwhile; at least she now knew what others thought of her. Since she knew they wished her dead, she figured it was better for them to die for her own life.
I glanced at my watch; it was almost 8:30 or 9:00. My appointment with the fabric seller was at 10:00, so I couldn't delay any longer or I'd be late.
Anyway, we're all in the same village, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with them. They're not worth wasting your time dealing with them.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Yunxi quickened her pace.
From afar, I could see some people in the fields. They seemed to be watching the irrigation ditches, probably worried that too much rain would flood the crops.
I subconsciously took a detour so that no one else would see me leaving the village.
Once they left the village, their travel speed increased considerably.
I originally wanted to be faster, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so I couldn't go faster even if I wanted to. By the time I arrived at the address the cloth seller in town had given me, it was almost ten o'clock.
After catching my breath, I realized I had walked too fast. Once my breathing was steady, I started knocking on the door.
Soon, footsteps could be heard coming from inside; they were moving quite fast.
Before the door was opened, he put his hand into the basket, put the gold he had selected from his storage space into it, and then pretended to be nonchalant.
This time, Yunxi didn't apply any plant essence to her face; she used her natural face. Anyway, she guessed that the boss was leaving soon, so what did it matter even if he saw her face?
Could he possibly be lustful at first sight?
If he dares to even think that, I'll break all three of his legs.
The door opened quickly, and a head popped out—it was the cloth seller.
The cloth seller was overjoyed to see Yunxi outside. He had thought it was already past the appointed time and she hadn't come yet, so she was glad she hadn't been stood up.
Unexpectedly, this young lady was quite punctual. She said she would arrive at 10 o'clock, and she really did arrive at 10 o'clock, not a minute more or less.
But after taking a closer look at his appearance, I noticed something was different.
He was even fairer-skinned. At that moment, he suddenly had a realization. He never thought that he, who had seen so many people, could have misjudged someone.
"Young boss, I didn't expect you to hide it so well. I didn't even notice that you had something on your face. You're really amazing."
At this moment, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: if he were to run away, there would be dangers along the way. If he had something that could change his appearance, wouldn't that provide him with more security?
His heart suddenly started racing, but no matter how excited he was inside, he didn't show it on the surface. He planned to discuss the matter after the transaction was completed.
"You're too kind, boss. These are just some minor tricks. When you're out and about, you have to protect yourself. I only revealed my true colors because I trust your character."
Believe my ass, that's because you believe your fists are strong enough.
Although he didn't know if it was true or not, the fabric vendor seemed to believe it, at least his smile widened.
"Young boss, come in quickly. The rain outside is getting heavier. Let's talk inside."
Yunxi didn't stand on ceremony and wasn't afraid at all; she followed him directly into the house.
At this point, only one or two stools remained in the room; the rest of the room was piled high with things.
After a quick glance, Yunxi discovered that everything she wanted was here, and even things she hadn't bought were here. It seemed that the owner had a lot of things; this was probably his warehouse.
Moreover, it was just an inconspicuous, or rather, unimportant, warehouse.
"Young boss, this isn't the first time we've met. My surname is Liu, you can just call me Uncle Liu. Everything is here, would you like to check it out? We can make the transaction quickly."
Mr. Liu is actually very busy. If it weren't for the heavy rain these past two days that caused some delays, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry during the transactions, for fear of wasting time.
"In that case, I'll call you Uncle Liu. My surname is Yun, and my given name is Liusu. I just took a quick look and found that there are many things inside that I don't want. Could you point out which ones I do want?"
Yunxi's eyes suddenly caught sight of the word "candy," and then it was as if she suddenly remembered that she hadn't ordered any candy. In her memory, candy was a particularly delicious thing, especially when delivering gifts. If there was a bag of brown sugar, it would be considered a very good gift.
"Then I'll take the liberty of calling you Xiaoyun. Xiaoyun, Uncle Liu won't lie to you, I don't know if you can eat all of these things. Uncle Liu is going out of town in a couple of days and won't have the energy to find other buyers. If possible, Uncle Liu will only charge you half the price, what do you think?"
Upon hearing his words, Yunxi had only one thought in her mind: his statement that he was going to another city in a couple of days was a lie.
She figured he was leaving either today or tomorrow, which made her curious as to why he was in such a hurry to leave.
Even today, when I walked down the street, I noticed that the few shops that were open before were now closed. It seems like something really serious has happened.
To be honest, Yunxi was really tempted by those things, and besides, gold was of no use to her anyway, as she already had a ton of it in her spatial storage.
If we could take them all, it might not be impossible.
"I wonder how many you plan to exchange, Uncle Liu?"
There's no need to say what we're exchanging; we both understand anyway.
When the cloth seller heard her agree, he couldn't hide his smile. "Xiaoyun, Uncle Liu won't lie to you. There are three rooms here, and they're all packed full of things. I won't ask for much; just give me five catties of gold. Is that alright?"
When Yunxi heard that it was five catties of gold, she thought it wasn't a lot. So she went to look at the rooms on the left and right and found that they were filled with all kinds of supplies. If it was only selling five catties of gold, it would be a good deal.
