Fifty Coins

"Who is it?" Old man Li, who heard the noise, also came over to see, but he only saw a thin figure running very fast.

"Grandpa Li, I don't know him. He has been scared away by Dahei." Daya looked at Dahei and replied proudly. Dahei is really amazing. The little girl's proud and arrogant look made Old Man Li laugh, but Dahei is really a good dog.

Xiang Yunjin noticed when someone deliberately approached the carriage, but he didn't feel any malicious intent. In addition, the footsteps were very light and it was obvious that the person was not a martial artist, so he didn't take it seriously. Even if such a person has any bad intentions, he can be easily dealt with even if he is seriously injured, so there is no need to be afraid of him. Besides, Gulan has a good dog.

Although he was thin, there was a fierce light in his eyes, and ordinary people couldn't get close to him. He also noticed that when Gulan was not around, people around the carriage walked away from it, which was obviously due to the power of the dog. So Xiang Yunjin never thought about going out to take a look.

Meanwhile, Su Qiaoxiu walked out of the dilapidated temple in a depressed mood. She thought she would gain something, but in the end she still found nothing. Could it really be that it was just a dream for her? She stood on the path in the woods, staring in a daze at the dilapidated temple not far away.

"Hey, are you looking for someone? I noticed you've been looking around here for a long time."

Su Qiaoxiu glanced at the woman who was talking without saying anything, turned around and wanted to leave. Since she couldn't find it, there was no point in delaying here.

She had originally thought that if she really found the prince here, then since he was in a coma at the moment, she would have a lot of room to maneuver and could pretend to be the prince's attendant and take him away. Unfortunately, things did not go as she wished.

Regardless of whether it was just a dream or not, the opportunity had been missed. What she had to do now was to go home and think of a good excuse to appease her parents.

Daya Mother, no, Baodan Mother now. She noticed this person as soon as he appeared. She felt that this person was a little strange, as if he was really looking for something. Baodan Mother felt that the opportunity had come. Seeing him turning around to leave, Baodan's mother quickly reached out to stop him, "Hey, don't leave in such a hurry! Are you looking for something? If so, you can ask me! There's nothing I don't know about this place."

Su Qiaoxiu glanced at them, not taking the couple's words seriously, and was about to leave.

"Hey, don't go. I'm telling the truth." Baodan's mother stretched out her hand to stop him again.

Looking at the arm blocking her body, Su Qiaoxiu stopped and looked at the woman in front of her with scrutiny, perhaps asking her a question. But looking at the woman's dirty appearance, Su Qiaoxiu couldn't help but frown.

There were many people in the dilapidated temple, but none of them had made herself as dirty as the woman in front of her. Not only were her clothes covered in dirt, but even her face was of unclear color. But there is clearly a stream here. Can such a lazy woman's words be trusted? Su Qiaoxiu expressed her doubts.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm familiar with all the people here. Just tell anyone you want to talk to, but... maybe... I'll need some compensation." Baodan's mother stretched out her not-so-clean hand with a smile that you should know how to smile on her face.

"How much?" Su Qiaoxiu frowned and looked at the hand. Finally, she wanted to give herself one last chance.

"Don't worry, it's not too much." When Baodan's mother heard the other party agreed, her eyes lit up and she quickly stretched out five fingers.

"Five cents." Su Qiaoxiu breathed a sigh of relief. If it was only five cents, it wasn't much.

"No, no, it's fifty cents." Baodan's mother shook her head. If it was five cents, why would she bother to stop someone? Five cents couldn't even buy the worst food.

"Fifty cents?" Su Qiao smiled. "How can a simple question be worth fifty cents? You're asking for too much."

After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave. It was obvious that this woman thought she was being taken advantage of.

"Hey, are you in such a hurry to leave? How do you know it's not worth fifty cents if you don't ask? If you're asking about something more private, fifty cents wouldn't be enough?"

Baodan's mother didn't want to let go of the opportunity to make money that she finally came across. She was very short of money now, and all the money she had added up was less than ten cents.

Although there is still some food, and a lot of wild vegetables dug here can sustain for a while, I always feel uneasy because I have no money, and I am afraid of encountering any situation.

Thinking of this, Baodan's mother couldn't help but think of those two heartless and money-losing guys. If it weren't for them, how could their family have paid out twenty cents.

They are fine, now they follow that Gu and eat well and sleep well every day, and they don't remember at all who gave birth to them, whose belly they crawled out of, and that they have parents and a younger brother. Unfortunately, these two girls are never alone. They either follow that evil star or the people from Lijia Village.

There was no chance to teach them a lesson, nor was there any chance to threaten these two damn girls to give them gifts. She was almost mad to death.

"Do you really know everything? If you don't have the answer I want, I won't give you money." Su Qiaoxiu said after thinking about it.

"Don't worry, just ask. But I have to explain that each question is fifty cents." Baodan's mother quickly added that if this person asked a lot of questions, she would be at a disadvantage. She was not stupid.

Su Qiaoxiu glared at the woman and gritted her teeth: "Okay, was there a stranger here yesterday?"

"Stranger?" Baodan's mother laughed, "You want to ask a stranger? I do know, but..."

Baodan's mother stretched out her hand, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Do you really know?" Su Qiaoxiu was skeptical.

"I know, but I won't answer unless you pay me." She was not stupid. If this person was not satisfied with her answer and turned away, then all her efforts would be in vain.

Looking at the woman steadily, Su Qiaoxiu finally took out fifty big coins from her pocket and said, "I hope you are not lying to me."

Only she herself knew that even if she lied to her, she couldn't do anything to this woman. It was just a bluff.

"Don't worry, I never tell lies." Baodan's mother herself didn't believe what she said, but it worked to coax people.

"Hope so"

Su Qiaoxiu had just stretched out her hand when Baodan's mother quickly grabbed it, fearing that the man would regret it if she was a step too late, so she quickly put it in her arms.

"If you're asking a stranger, one did come yesterday, and he didn't seem to be feeling well." Baodan's mother didn't see it with her own eyes, but she heard someone from Xishan Village mention it once, so she knew about it.

"Really? Are you sure?" Su Qiaoxiu couldn't help but be surprised. Yes, it was right if he was in poor health.

"Why would I lie to you? He should have arrived before noon yesterday." Baodan's mother was quite confident when she said this. After all, she was not lying, and the fifty cents were not hot at all.

"Then do you know where he is?" Su Qiaoxiu couldn't help but take a step forward, and withdrew her outstretched hand at the last moment, and asked excitedly.

Unexpectedly, Baodan's mother laughed and said, "I know, but this is the next question, so I have to..."

"I understand. I'll give it to you." Su Qiaoxiu continued without waiting for Baodan's mother to finish.

This impatient look made Baodan's mother's eyes flash and the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Brother, this question is quite private. After thinking about it, I decided not to tell you. I'm really sorry." After saying that, Baodan's mother pretended to leave.

"Hey, you can't leave. I'll give you money." Su Qiaoxiu finally got some information and was not willing to let anyone go easily.

"But if I tell it and the people here find out, they will scold us to death. How can I stay here? I can't say it, I can't say it." Baodan's mother still refused with her mouth, but her body was honest and she didn't show any intention of leaving.
