Chapter 2214 Light Gate Lintel 14
Seeing Xi Ning looking at him, Liu Yulang could only continue to say that if it weren't for the treasure, he would have just robbed it if he had spent so much effort on Mao.
Balabala talked a lot and said everything that needed to be said. She really had nothing to say and couldn't do it again. Liu Yulang came to a conclusion: "It's better to leave the banknote with me."
Xining listened patiently. Patience is a virtue as a main god, a two-legged beast, and even a living creature. In addition to their camouflage coloration, hunting speed, and patience, lions, tigers, and wolves are also known for their patience.
Seeing that Liu Yulang had finally finished speaking, it was her turn to say: "But I have always kept the banknotes. Every time I go out, whether it is the former head, uncle, or brother, I am in charge of all the banknotes. So. Master, please rest assured, I am very experienced.”
Liu Yulang was shocked at this time: "You kept it! It's impossible, you lied to me, right?"
Who would give money to a child for safekeeping, even if it seems to be a safe thing to do, it is still a child after all.
Xi Ning explained: "Has anyone ever seen young masters from wealthy families only holding banknotes when they go out? There are also housekeepers and boys who hold them. Although I am a disciple of Xuanhumen, I am actually a medicine boy."
Liu Yulang retorted: "But I am not a young master."
As soon as he finished speaking, he choked back.
"You are the head of the Xuanhu Sect! There are many young masters in the world, but there is only one head of the Xuanhu Sect." Xining said so proudly that Liu Yulang couldn't help but straighten his back.
She continued to be tempting: "Master, just think about it. Every time I go out, I will meet very poor people. I want to help the world. If I know that I have money, no matter whether it is true or false, I will want to ask for money and medicine." It can still be harvested and processed. If the money is gone, they will be embarrassed to ask me for money. And the thieves will definitely not target me.”
At this time, the waiter came over to bring water and a bath bucket. Xining asked the waiter to move the things in, and said to Liu Yulang with a smile: "You also go and wash up, and have a good sleep. If you are hungry, just ask for food. I am here." I may have to sleep until evening.”
I was busy all night and didn't sleep. Although I am young and sleepy, I should sleep all day.
So Liu Yulang was sent back to his room. His water and bath bucket were quickly delivered, and he closed the door and took off his clothes to take a bath.
Sitting in the bucket, his brain might be sorting out a bit. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, but he still couldn't get the banknote. Is this girl really stupid or fake? How can she speak so well with her mouth? Everything he said was reasonable, and he didn't even have a reason to talk back.
Or give up, after all, the treasure in a year's time is his goal. If you expose the tail now and let this girl see the clues, there will be no way to get it. You must know that this girl was beaten for three days and starved for three days. She would rather die than say a word about it. There is really no other way but to lie.
But that was money. That much money was enough to live comfortably in Zuixiang Building for more than half a year... Liu Yulang was lying on the bed tossing and turning, not because of the heat, but because his mind was filled with those banknotes.
I finally drifted off to sleep, still dreaming.
First, he was making money. After he exchanged the medicine for a banknote, he handed the banknote to Xining...
After waking up, I wanted to slap myself twice. I didn't even think of putting the banknote in my arms and handing it to others. As a result, the banknote was in someone else's hand, or else it was gone.
Turned over and continued to sleep. It turned out that this dream was about counting money. I calculated how much money I had earned in the past two days, but I calculated it over and over again several times, and each time I came up with a different number. If the calculation is wrong, then continue to calculate, I don’t know how many times, until I suddenly remember that counting the banknotes will suffice. But he didn't have the banknote in his hand, so he was angry and anxious, so he went to ask Xining for it.
But this girl actually refused to give it to him. She took the stack of banknotes and slapped them on the table. She said proudly, "I won't give it to you. If you have the ability, come and grab it."
He was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke, and he woke up suddenly.
Opening his eyes, the originally bright room was now dark. He sat up and wiped his face with his hands. His face was covered in sweat. Not only that, but he also sweated a lot. It was all about calculating money in his dream. It's a good idea to come out in a hurry.
"Pah... pah..." Hmm, why is the sound of tapping banknotes still there in the dream? Liu Yulang identified it and found that it was a knock on the door. He got out of bed, put on his shoes, and went to open the door.
Standing at the door was Xi Ning. After having the dream just now, her face was really annoying.
"Master, why are you sleeping so hard?" Of course she didn't know what happened in the dream. She raised her head with an inquiring look: "Why are you sweating so much? Are you too weak? Stretch out your hand and give it to you. "Pulse."
Liu Yulang subconsciously hid his hands behind his back: "No, it's because I didn't sleep last night that I slept so deeply. I'm too tired these two days."
Yes, I am tired. I have been serving you, a wounded person, every day for the past few days. I didn't sleep last night and had a dream today.
Xining nodded, and he should agree with this reason: "Go and have dinner first. If it's late, there won't be anything to eat. You can still have a good sleep at night."
This is a town. Although it is not like the sunrise and sunset in the villages, only a few shops are open at night. The other shops and people go to bed early to save candles and oil lamps.
This store is one of the few that is open at night, and it only opens at 2:30 pm.
Seeing the two of them coming down, the waiter greeted them warmly. He had gotten a lot of tips in the morning, and he hoped to get more this time.
"You two, please come over here." The waiter wiped the table and chairs with the cloth hanging on his shoulders: "What do you two want to eat?"
Xining sat down and saw that the big pot of mutton soup in front of the store had not been turned off: "Forget the mutton, eat more hot and spicy food. Are there any fish and vegetables?"
"Yes, yes, there are a few fish left in the kitchen. Do you want herring or carp? Steamed or boiled? You can also grill it."
In the ancient plane, there was far less food than in modern times. Even if there were many cooking methods, they were only in the capital and large towns. Oil is expensive. How can ordinary people be willing to use so much oil for frying? If fried, it is also pork and vegetable oil.
Xining turned his head to look at the menu, and the owner followed him out. He rarely ordered food, so he didn't have much knowledge about eating in his memory. First check if there are braised pork, braised fish, etc. on the menu.
The waiter also gave other options: "There are also chickens and ducks, which are sent from nearby farms."
Xining also finished reading the menu: "Then let's have a chicken to make soup and two sesame seed cakes."
"It will take some time." The waiter estimated: "About half an hour."
"Okay!" The chicken soup needs to be simmered, and it will take half an hour.
Xining thought for a while: "Is there a drug store nearby?"
"Yes, but you have to go quickly, otherwise it will be closed."
Now that he had a place to kill time, Xining took Liu Yulang to the drug store. After grabbing a lot of medicine, Liu Yulang came back with it hanging on his hands, shoulders, and even around his neck.
After putting the medicine in Xining's room, when he went downstairs, the chicken soup was almost ready and served on the table.
