Chapter 42 42 This is not homeless at all, it's clearly just a trip...
The two of them played almost all the way to Qiwu Town.
Although the ghost market is strange, it is very lively. The ghosts also like to play with monsters. However, they don’t do business much now, and mainly enjoy playing tricks on people.
Wen Lanzhi was teased several times, but she still foolishly helped others.
The butcher liked her very much and gave her a big piece of pork ribs when she left.
Wen Lanzhi firmly refused.
Where can these two homeless people go to cook ribs?
When the market was busy during the day, the two men met the boss with the one-arm again.
The boss was stunned at first, then pretended not to see the two people.
Wen Lanzhi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't blame her too much.
Wu Ciyan asked, "Is there anyone selling short knives?"
The boss said, "Yes, you can pick any one you like."
Wu Ciyan patted Wen Lanzhi and said, "Is there anything you like? I'll buy you one for self-defense."
"Actually, you can also call one." said the boss.
Wu Ciyan asked, "How much is one?"
"It depends on what you want." The boss took a small knife from the shelf, which was about the same length as his forearm. "This one?"
He handed the dagger to Wen Lanzhi, "Madam, take a look and see if you like it."
"Madam?" Wen Lanzhi shrank her head and paused her outstretched hand in the air. "No, not Madam."
"Oh." The boss didn't mean to tease her. He just thought they were a newlywed couple because of their ambiguous behavior. "Girl."
Wen Lanzhi took the dagger and examined it carefully. "It looks good. The pattern on the handle is also unique."
The boss said, "The patterns are easy to tell. I carved them myself. If you like any pattern, just draw it on paper and I'll carve it for you."
Wen Lanzhi looked at Wu Ciyan and saw him nod. She said, "Okay, then I'll draw a little rabbit."
The boss put the knife back on the shelf. "Okay, no problem. Ten taels of silver, half must be paid first."
Wu Ciyan didn't waste any more time, took out the money and gave it to the boss, "When can it be finished?"
The boss said, "Are you in a hurry, sir? If you are not in a hurry, I will give you a layer of ghost energy. Without the ghost energy, I cannot kill you..." He looked up at the sky.
Wu Ciyan understood, "Don't worry."
The boss said, "You two should go to Qiwu Town first and come back to get it."
"Okay." Wu Ciyan said, "Then let's buy another ready-made one."
Wen Lanzhi came out in a hurry and didn't take her sword with her. It would be impossible for her to go back and get it now, but she still had to have something to protect herself.
The boss said, "Sir, please don't think I'm lying. For someone with your skills, the weapons I have in my humble household are simply not enough. You might be able to make a short knife to cut fruit, but if you really want to buy a sword from me for serious business, I can't do it."
At this juncture, all the monsters that can come to the ghost market have great ambitions, and the boss has seen quite a few of them.
The probability of rising to prominence is small, but the probability of being captured and tracing back to the source with weapons is high.
The boss usually does a lot of illegal things, so he wouldn't report them. But if you were to use the products produced in his shop to sue someone higher up, he really wouldn't dare.
Wu Ciyan doesn't make things difficult for others. Once the difficulty goes too far, the other side will sell this side to save their lives.
Wu Ciyan said, "Okay, got it. We'll just buy a short knife to cut the fruit."
The boss had just breathed a sigh of relief when his throat suddenly tightened and a burst of intense pain spread from his chest to his whole body. He fell to the ground and it took him a long time to recover.
He rolled his eyes and stood up, "Sir, there's no need to be like this."
Wu Ciyan said, "I didn't poison you, what are you afraid of?"
The boss pursed his lips, waved his hand, and signaled the two to leave quickly.
Wen Lanzhi handed the drawn pattern to the boss and was taken out by Wu Ci Yan.
She was still a little confused and didn't understand the situation, so she looked at Wu Ci Yan in confusion.
Wu Ciyan said, "It's a vicious spell to silence us. If he betrays us, his body will explode and die. Even just thinking about it will cause pain like thousands of needles piercing his heart."
Wen Lanzhi said "Oh" and said, "Why don't you give me the next one too."
Wu Ciyan knocked her on the head.
Wen Lanzhi thought this was the end, but she didn't feel any pain, nor did she fall to the ground like the boss. She felt around her body, ran forward, and continued to follow him. "I'm the one most likely to leak the secret, right? Why don't you let me in?"
Wu Ciyan said with a smile: "Are you going to betray me?"
Wen Lanzhi shook her head and said, "I'm a weak-willed person. If I were caught one day and tortured, I would probably betray you."
Wu Ciyan said "Oh" casually, "Then confess it."
Wen Lanzhi followed him around a corner and into the alley, "But I don't want to betray my friend."
She tugged at Wu Ciyan's sleeve and said, "The two of us are wandering around, so our only friends are each other. If, if I betray my friend, won't that mean I'll lose my last friend?"
Wu Ciyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't stop playing with you just because you betrayed me."
Wen Lanzhi was stunned and asked, "Why?"
Wu Ciyan said, "You don't want to betray your friend, and I don't want my friend to suffer. What's the reason?"
Wu Ci Yan handed over something. Wen Lanzhi didn't look at it carefully, but took it in her hand and carried the thing behind him like a follower.
Wen Lanzhi took whatever he handed her along the way.
Wen Lanzhi was still struggling with the question and said, "You don't want your friend to suffer, and I don't want to betray you. Just cast a curse on me, and everything will be fine, right?"
Wu Ciyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and handed over another thing, "I won't curse you, and I don't mind you betraying me in times of crisis. I just want you to live."
Wen Lanzhi was still confused, like a child who was just learning to speak. She stared at Wu Ci Yan blankly, trying to digest these words.
Wu Ciyan said, "My information is very valuable to the higher-ups. In times of crisis, I don't mind if you betray me to save your life. If providing them with information can save your own life, please, definitely, betray me. Your survival is the most important thing."
He said, and continued walking forward.
Wen Lanzhi stood there in a daze, looking at his back.
He seems to like wearing white clothes very much, both his old clothes and his new clothes.
When Wen Lanzhi met him for the first time, she thought he was a very cold person.
After knowing each other for a few days, I found that our body temperatures were indeed consistent.
But only the body temperature is consistent.
He is not cold at all and can chat with anyone.
He is always happy every time we chat, but it is hard to say whether the other party is happy or not.
She discovered that few of her previous impressions of Wu Ci Yan were correct.
She thought someone like Wu Ciyan would hate betrayal, but when she heard him say with her own ears today, "A friend's life is more important than anything else," Wen Lanzhi felt like she was hallucinating.
Apart from his body temperature, there was no part of him that was cold.
If you get close to him, you will find that he is really warm. Becoming friends with him is like staying in bed in winter.
Another thing was handed to her, and while she was daydreaming, Wu Ci Yan had already returned with the things he bought.
This time, Wen Lanzhi did not take it directly, but took a closer look at the thing handed to her.
A bouquet of flowers.
The sweet aroma lingered around her.
She took it, put it to her nose and sniffed, "It smells good."
Wu Ciyan smiled and said, "Let's go. Have you had enough fun? It's time to go to Qiwu Town."
Wen Lanzhi suddenly remembered the pile of things in her hands and lowered her head.
Osmanthus cake, cloth tiger, clay croaker, crab lantern, kite...
The colorful kite is in her hand, and the silk thread is in Wu Ciyan's hand.
No wonder Wu Ci Yanguang was walking in front and didn’t rush to look back. It turned out that the two of them were holding hands in the air.
We can't get separated.
Wen Lanzhi trotted over and the line that was almost taut loosened again.
She asked, "Why are you buying so many things? Can't you save money a little?"
"As for money, you'll always get it by chance." Wu Ciyan said casually, "Spend it when you have it, and then worry about it after you spend it."
Wen Lanzhi asked: "Why don't you buy some of the things you want if you buy so many?"
Wu Ciyan laughed out loud, "These are all what I want. Osmanthus cake, I loved to eat it when I was a child, and these things, they are all what I loved to play with when I was a child."
"Wow!" Wen Lanzhi exclaimed, "Did you like playing so much when you were a kid?"
Wu Ciyan switched hands to hold the kite string, leaving the hand closest to Wen Lanzhi free. "Well, I was quite happy when I was a kid. My family wasn't poor and they paid for my education. Every day after school, my family would buy me osmanthus cakes."
Wen Lanzhi asked casually, "What happened next?"
He said, "My father said something wrong and was killed. My mother sent me away and changed my last name. Then she ran to the busiest place, pointing and cursing. When I ran to the street, she had already been taken away. I didn't see her for the last time. Later, I changed my last name back."
Wen Lanzhi opened her mouth but said nothing.
Wu Ciyan looked relaxed and turned his head. "It's still early. Let's find a place to fly a kite?"
Wen Lanzhi said, "Okay."
She held the kite in both hands and said, "When I was a child, I always saw them writing on kites. What did they write on them?"
Wu Ciyan's hand swung a little too far, and the back of his hand accidentally touched Wen Lanzhi's fingers. He quickly pulled it back and said, "Each place has a different meaning. Some places are about worries, and when you cut the thread, the worries disappear. Some places are about wishes, and when the wishes fly away, they come true."
Wen Lanzhi asked, "What did you write when you were a child?"
Wu Ciyan said, "There's nothing written on it. We're just competing to see who can fly it the highest. The higher the better. If the string breaks, it doesn't count."
Wu Ci Yan handed over another thing, a candied haws. You have to eat it quickly, otherwise the sugar on it will melt.
Osmanthus cake is very sweet and Wen Lanzhi likes it very much.
These were all toys for children. She had seen them before, but had never thought of buying them.
The candied haws are quite sour, and the sugar on the outside cannot cover up the sourness inside. I squint my eyes every time I eat one.
Wu Ci Yan asked her how it tasted, but she still lied and said it was sweet.
You can put the cloth tiger at the head of the bed so it can accompany you to sleep.
The sound of the flute was not very pleasant and a bit harsh. It might also be because Wen Lanzhi didn't know how to play it.
Every time she blew, Wu Ciyan covered his ears. Every time she blew, he covered his ears. Every time she blew, he covered his ears.
Wen Lanzhi experienced the joy of letting Wu Ci Yan cover his ears. She stared at Wu Ci Yan, watching him blow as soon as he put his hands down, and blow as soon as he put his hands down.
As a result, Ni Jiaojiao was snatched away by Wu Ci Yan, and now it was Wen Lanzhi's turn to cover her ears.
The kite flew up with the wind, and the two people wrote their wishes on it.
Wen Lanzhi pushed Wu Ciyan away and saw what he had written.
She also read out, "I hope to have lots of money every day! Why isn't it about me?"
Wu Ciyan raised his eyebrows: "What? You wrote about me? Show it to me."
Wen Lanzhi kicked her feet and ran away, "I won't show it to you."
The wind was a little chilly at night, and every household in Qiwu Town had lights on, which were very bright, as if they were specially designed to illuminate passers-by.
It was the first time that Wen Lanzhi saw such a warm town, and she walked around under every light.
Wu Ciyan covered his mouth and turned his head away to smile.
Wen Lanzhi tilted her head, grabbed his shoulder, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Wu Ciyan said honestly, "I have a parrot friend who is like this too."
Wen Lanzhi: “…”
She snorted and turned away, "You're the parrot!"
The two people didn't look like they were homeless, but rather like they were traveling.
