Copper Coins

Xuan Min was tall, and the little thief's stature was just over his waist. He looked like a skinny monkey, at most eight or nine years old.After being caught by the neck, he flung his teeth and claws, but he couldn't scratch Xuan Min's body, howled anxiously: "Help—rob—ahhhh—let go—"

This kid was the first one who shouted "Stop Thief" in such a blatant way, and Xue Xian was amazed to see it.

It's a pity that the bald donkey is unreasonable. In his eyes, there seems to be no difference between men, women and children, and he is not like an ordinary monk at all.Seeing Xuan Min still calm and calm, holding the thief with one hand, he took out a talisman from his bosom with the other hand, patted the thief on the top of the head lightly, and said: " Silence."

Little thief: "..."

The voice that was crying vigorously stopped abruptly, and the little thief was so suppressed that his face was flushed.

Xue Xian touched his mouth silently with his wet paw, feeling inexplicably empathetic, but the paw accidentally stuck to his mouth because it was soaked and soft.If he himself was rough and rough, he would either break his hand or tear his mouth, it would be fatal.

Xuan Min just glanced at it, and saw that evil barrier remained motionless in that silly posture.

Xue Xian closed his eyes expressionlessly: "..." His fame was ruined.Who will give me a rope and hang this bald donkey to death, and no one will know how embarrassing I am.

Xuan Min looked down at the little thief, and said calmly, "Stretch out your hand."

With a flick of the yellow talisman on the little thief's forehead, he stretched out his two hands like a puppet hanging by a string, with a look of lovelessness.

When Xuan Min took the golden bead from his hand, the little thief didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry, his head was red from the top of his neck to the base of his neck, even the circles of his eyes were red.However, his expression was very stubborn, with a look of "you will kill me if you have the guts", which is really a bit out of control.

Having achieved his goal, Xuan Min no longer imprisoned him. He raised his hand and removed the talisman paper on the little thief's forehead, folded it again, and put it away neatly.

Xue Xian stared eagerly at the golden bead in Xuan Min's hand, waiting for the bald donkey to pass it to him.

He never expected that the bald donkey would help him in this way, and immediately revealed the pitiful bit of conscience under his belly, and thought: "Okay, after I get the beads back, I will try to settle down for a few days, right?" Give the bald donkey some face, and if it doesn't work, give him another dragon scale, anyway, there are still a few left.

However, after Xuan Min pinched the golden bead and looked at it twice, his eyebrows frowned suddenly.

At that moment, his expression showed a trace of indescribable weirdness, which seemed to be somewhere between thoughtful and clueless.

After staring at the bead for a moment, he rubbed it with his thumb again, then frowned and moved closer to the bead for a sniff.

Xue Xian: "..."

He rolled his eyes, inexplicably feeling a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, his physical condition has not yet recovered, and he has not yet established a physical and spiritual connection with Jin Zhu, otherwise... this is rubbing and sniffing, Xue Xian probably couldn't help stepping on his paw long ago. face off.

He held back [-] words to kill the bald donkey in his heart, but his mouth was stuck by his claws, and he couldn't open his mouth, so he had no choice but to swallow it back, so as not to choke to death.

Fortunately, the bald donkey hadn't been ill for a long time. He only took a sniff, and then raised his head with that neither salty nor salty look.

He thought for a moment, then said to Xue Xian, "I will keep this golden bead for you for now, do you have any objections?"

have!No!You think beautifully!

Xue Xian was shouting in his heart, but he still couldn't make a sound.

"Okay." Xuan Min thought he had acquiesced, so he put the golden bead back into his waist pocket, sticking to the root of the bone, he could feel a slight pinch in his gestures, but it was not easy to lose it.

Xue Xian immediately slumped down, bowed his head, lost the mood to do anything.It wasn't that he was really afraid that Xuan Min would steal his beads, but that he had lost his real body for more than half a year, and now that he finally found it, he felt a little reluctant to let go.

He moved so delicately that Xuan Min realized that his posture was a little weird, and he kept covering his mouth for a long time without changing his hands.Xuan Min was stunned for a moment, and finally realized the reason why this villain was honest and peaceful. He was silent for a moment, and then asked the little thief, "Is there a brazier?"

Although the little thief was so brave that he dared to snatch Xue Xian's golden pearl, he was still only a half-grown child after all, and couldn't help but feel a little cowardly after being dealt with by Xuan Min.

Xuan Min asked, but he didn't dare to ignore it.So, the little thief cast a sideways glance unwillingly, turned his head and entered the only room in the courtyard that could sleep.He heard him clang in rebellion, and a moment later he came out dragging a pitted copper basin, and threw it in front of Xuan Min with a "boom".

"Thank you." Xuan Min replied calmly with a thank you.

A relatively dry corner under the eaves faced two bundles of firewood.Compared with ordinary people's, these two bundles of firewood are too skinny, with many and twisted branches, so they are not good firewood.Xuan Min broke off a few dry branches, lit them with fire sticks and threw them into the brazier. It took some time for the pure dry branches to burn, but finally a fire was lit, and the chicken coop-like yard suddenly lit up. There is some warmth.

At first the thief was stubborn and ignored Xuan Min, but after a while, he finally succumbed to the warmth of the fire, silently moved to the brazier, and secretly rubbed his hands.

Xue Xian and Jiang Shining were hung on a branch of a winter jasmine by Xuan Min. The distance from the brazier would be close enough, but if they were any closer, they would be burnt by the flames, and if they were any further away, they would not be warm enough.

To deal with the wet cardboard, it is still useful to bake it more or less.At least Xue Xian felt that he was slowly becoming dry.

He was hanging on a branch, and saw Xuan Min take out a folded thin paper from another hidden pocket in his arms.From his perspective, he could only see that there were many words written on the thin paper, some in a continuous line, some in separate words, and even... pictures?

Xuan Min glanced somewhere on the paper, then folded the thin paper again and put it away.

He asked the eight or nine-year-old thief, "Your surname is Lu?"

Both Xue Xian and the little thief were taken aback.

The thief looked at him warily: "What are you going to do?"

"It seems so." Seeing his appearance, Xuan Min instantly understood.He asked again: "Do you have a blind brother?"

The little thief surnamed Lu immediately exploded with red eyes: "Who are you?! Looking for Lu, why are you looking for him?!"

Xue Xian looked at Xuan Min strangely, and said to himself: So this bald donkey is not only here to catch him, but also to find someone?Such a coincidence?

Just as he was thinking, most of the water absorbed by his mouth and paws had dried up, and the paws fell off his mouth with a click, finally no longer hindering him from speaking.

"Where's Lu Nineteen?" Xue Xian couldn't hold back any longer, and said to the little thief, "I'll borrow something from him to find someone."

He had been here twice before, and the two brothers from the Lu family who lived here didn't know each other very well, he only had a rough understanding—for example, their parents and elders were gone, and the reason was unknown. Congenitally proficient in some yin and yang techniques and blind, the other is a little hard of hearing due to an injury, the two have lived together for several years, but their relationship is not very good.Because they had no elders and had no family or business, they didn't even have a serious name, and they only called them two nicknames according to their birthdays.The older brother is called Lu Nineteen, and the eighty-nine-year-old younger brother is called Lu Nianqi.

This Lu Nianqi is young, but he doesn't have the foolishness of a child.As soon as he heard Xue Xian's words, he said: "I recognize you, I have heard your voice, you have come to look for Shijiu before."

He followed Lu Jiujiu and was used to some strange things. He saw that the paper could talk, and he was not too frightened to speak, so he was quite safe.

"I've been here twice, but it's the first time I've received such a great gift." Xue Xian couldn't help snorting as he imagined that there was a basin of water in his pocket, "Okay, don't talk about anything else, where is Lu Nineteen? Where did he go and when will he come back? Also, what are you doing stealing other people's things?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, big tears rolled out of Lu Nianqi's eyes without warning: "I'm looking for him too. I've been looking for him for more than half a month. He, he's in the river."

Xue Xian: "..."

No, what do you mean he is in the river?
