Copper Coins

Xuan Min was still picky, and Yu Mo couldn't stand the dirty mess at all, so all his orders were for the upper house. Although he had a lot of money, he couldn't afford to spend it all the time.Xue Xian really wanted to know, at his speed of spending money, how long would he have enough money with him?If he really ran out of money, how would he plan to earn it? After all, even if this bald donkey is not small, it is hard to imagine him taking the initiative to open his mouth to collect money from others.

The upper room of this inn is not as good as Guiyunju's, but it can be considered clean and tidy.The clerk in charge of the inn tidied them up quickly, and brought fresh tea and a copper basin for washing hands.

"The little one has been upstairs all the time. If the guest officer needs anything else, just open the door and tell me." Xiao Er said a few words, then exited and closed the door.

Although it was said to rest for one night, in fact, only Lu Nianqi and Shitou Zhang really needed to rest.To Xue Xian, it didn't matter whether he slept or not.For Xuan Min...

Anyway, Xue Xian basically doesn't regard him as a human being anymore, he neither eats nor rests much, how can he be considered a human being?

This hemiplegic black dragon bumped on the carriage all day, he didn't feel his legs and feet, and when he was sitting, he relied on the little strength in his waist and eyes for support. After a long time, he would definitely not feel comfortable.In order to let the ancestor loosen his muscles and bones, Xuan Min put him on the bed when he entered the door.

Not to mention the upper room of this inn, the bed is really comfortable, the quilt is very thick, quite soft, not uncomfortable at all, and it is better than the hard stool.Xue Xian felt that the bald donkey's move was very suitable for him. He stretched his waist unceremoniously, loosened his shoulders and back, and then dragged the quilt to dig a nest for himself, leaning against the raised quilt Going up, propped his head and sighed comfortably.

Xuan Min put on his clothes and sat at the carved wooden table, looking like he had no intention of resting at all.

He flicked the wick of the oil lamp on the table to brighten the light a bit, then took out the folded notice from his pocket, unfolded it under the lamp, and looked at it quietly.The warm yellow light cast shadows under his browbones, lining his eye sockets extremely deep, the bridge of his nose straight, and the corners of his lips showing an inhuman indifference.

Xue Xian tilted his head and squinted his eyes, looked at it for a while with no clear meaning, and suddenly asked, "Baldy donkey?"

Xuan Min didn't hear his next words for a long time, and replied in a deep voice without raising his head: "Huh?"

Xue Xian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is the person on the notice really you?"

"..."

This question is indeed a bit direct, but it does fit his straightforward and undisguised nature.

He saw Xuan Min put the notice in his hand on the table, gently pressed a corner of it with his fingertips, turned his head and glanced at him, as if he was considering how to answer, but didn't seem to plan to elaborate.

It has not been a long time since he was scooped up by the bald donkey in the Jiang Family Medical Hall, but perhaps because of the uncomplicated things he experienced, this time has been inexplicably stretched so long that sometimes he even Create an illusion that they have known each other for a long time and are familiar with each other.

Xue Xian can actually tell that Xuan Min is very defensive. He has known him for so long, and Xuan Min almost keeps silent about anything about him. This may be due to his natural personality, or it may be caused by amnesia. Xue Xian is reasonable. time is still understandable.

Ask yourself if he himself has lost a lot of memories, he may not pay attention to anyone, he will not believe anyone, and directly make some earth-shaking movements, first make up all the lost memories, and whoever stops him will be unlucky.

But the situation at this moment is a bit special. After all, they are on the same road now, and they can be said to be grasshoppers tied to the same rope.If Xuan Min has nothing to do with the person on the notice, that is one way to deal with it, if it is, then it is another way to deal with it.There must always be preparations, and you can't bother to find the door to dig a hole temporarily.

"Vald donkey, how about this, let's make a fair deal, what do you think?" Xue Xian said seriously.

It's not good, this evil person doesn't look like a person who knows fairness.

Xuan Min didn't even raise his head, and continued to make the announcement, and he didn't open his mouth to express his objection—after all, if Xue Xian really wanted to make something happen, asking for your opinion was just meaning, and objecting didn't have any effect.

Seeing his appearance of "I'm trying to make it harder for you to say it", Xue Xian said, "Both of us don't know the basics, so if we get into trouble, it's not easy to deal with—"

Xuan Min finally glanced at him, as if it was the first time he had heard him speak in a human manner calmly.

"Let's ask each other some questions that we think are important. If I ask you and you can answer it, then I have to answer you a question. If you can't answer it or don't want to answer it, then you can give me a coin." , how is it?" Xue Xian squinted his eyes, looking like "Do you think I am very reasonable?"

Xuan Min was speechless for a moment.

You know how to do business, play this kind of trick with a person who knows he has amnesia, "If you can't answer, you will be given money", this is not to ask the basics, this is obviously to extort money.

"...You might as well take it directly." Xuan Min said lightly, reaching out his hand to touch out all the silver particles in his secret pocket, and threw them on the bed lightly and skillfully.

Biting the tip of his tongue, Xue Xian caught it with his backhand, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Okay, I won't walk you anymore, let's change the game."

An eminent monk is an eminent monk, and he looks like money is like dung.All the silver particles were thrown out, Xuan Min ignored him and turned his head to continue to read his notice.

The ancestor Xue Xian patted the bed board, dissatisfied: "Look at me first, this time it's serious."

Xuan Min probably felt that his lazily nestled appearance was rather hurtful, so he said without raising his head, "Say."

"Well, I'll be more generous. I'll ask you a question. If you can tell me something, I'll give you a grain of gold. If you can't tell me something, then let's wait until you think about it. Of course, You can say you don’t remember things you don’t want to talk about.”

As Xue Xian said, he piled up the money that Xuan Min gave him on the side of the quilt, as if he was raising money in a gambling house, "Here, what's yours is still yours. I won't take any money, and you won't lose anything. Maybe you can make some money, how about it?"

In fact, it was Xuan Min who paid the money along the way, and spent a lot of time and money. Xue Xian never liked to owe people things, whether it was favors or money, he always received a silver for a gold.But he has some flaws, he doesn't like to return it directly, and prefers this roundabout way, which is really a little sick.

After hearing this, Xuan Min finally raised his head, he probably didn't expect that this ancestor could take the initiative to suffer a disadvantage, it was as if the sun was coming out from the west.

"If you don't object, I will accept it as you." Xue Xian said, thinking for a while: Where should I ask...

He knew that Xuan Min had never taken money seriously with his temperament, so naturally he would not force himself to say things he didn't want to say in order to win some money.Although he hadn't started to ask, he had already figured it out—with this bald donkey's temperament, he probably wouldn't be able to answer a few questions.

But...it's a little bit to be able to ask.

"Where does your problem of not recognizing people come from when you open your eyes?" Xue Xian asked after thinking about it.

Xuan Min frowned slightly, staring at the candle, but didn't speak immediately.

Xue Xian: "..." How great, but it's a bad start.

Just when he thought he would not get an answer to the first question, Xuan Min suddenly said in a deep voice: "I don't remember, it's been like this since I woke up a few months ago, when I suddenly had an attack, I always have to rest for two days Only then can it recover, and now it is considered to be recovering quickly."

Xue Xian was taken aback: Huh?Did you answer it seriously?

Xuan Min said, raised his hand to touch the side of his neck again, frowned and said, "You asked me to touch this side last time, why?"

"Haven't you seen it?" Xue Xian asked subconsciously, and then suddenly remembered that every time Xuan Min returned to normal, the mole also returned to normal. It is really possible that he has never seen the change of the mole. , "Every time you turn your face and deny anyone, a few bloodshots will crawl out of the mole on your neck, which looks like a spider. But when you touch it, the bloodshots will go back, and you will not be stupid anymore .”

Xuan Min: "..."

Seeing his frowning expression, Xue Xian guessed that he really didn't remember what happened to the mole, so he said, "Okay, this is the answer to a question."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and fumbled for a while with difficulty in his sleeve, and found out a handful of golden beads the size of a peanut, and dropped one into Xuan Min's silver coin.

Xuan Min: "...where did you get these gold beads?"

Xue Xian raised his eyebrows: "Anyway, it's a fetish. There are many places to hide things on the body, but it's troublesome to touch in public, so I'll use yours first."

"You just said that you woke up like this a few months ago... What do you mean?" Xue Xian asked again.

This time Xuan Mindao didn't stay silent for a long time, but rather straightforwardly said: "Literally, when I woke up, I was staying alone in a corpse shop in the mountains of Langzhou."

"Corpse shop?" Xue Xian was taken aback.

The so-called corpse store is a place in the west of Hunan that is specially used for the rest and shelter of the corpses on the way.

"Why are you there?" Xue Xian asked suspiciously.

Xuan Min shook his head, "I can't remember what happened before that at all. When I opened my eyes, I only had this string of copper coins on me, a handwritten booklet recording the art of geomancy and magic circle, and a booklet recording some odds and ends. Thin paper of things, and some yellow talismans."

"What did you do before, where did you come from, where did you go, and what did you want to do? I can't remember all of it?" Xue Xian suddenly felt that this bald donkey was a bit pitiful. With a blind eye, knowing nothing about his past and future, he will go crazy in all likelihood.

Xuan Min shook his head, "I didn't know it at the time, and later I occasionally remembered some fragments, but often I forgot it suddenly after a night."

Xue Xian couldn't help but said, "Then what should we do?"

"Later, if I remembered something again, I would write it down on the thin piece of paper and keep it with me, and I would take a look at it when I was not awake." Xuan Min replied.

Xue Xian said "Oh", "It's the one you asked Lu Nineteen to do the divination in the underground tomb of Fentou Island earlier? You don't even recognize your own handwriting?"

Xuan Min said indifferently: "When I woke up, there were already some words on it, and the handwriting can be imitated."

Xue Xian understood: "Are you afraid that someone will imitate your handwriting and write something that misleads you?"

"Ah."

"Then what do you remember?" Xue Xian said, throwing two gold beads into Xuan Min's silver coin.

"It's very messy." Xuan Min replied, "Some are about this bunch of copper coins, there are a few place names, and... one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Looking for someone." Xuan Min said, "I remember that I should look for someone. I owe that person something, and if I don't pay it back, I won't feel at ease."

His voice was slow and low in the room. Although his tone was a little cold as always, it somehow gave off a...very heavy feeling. Even an irrelevant bystander could feel a trace of disapproval through his voice. out sad.

This was the first time that Xue Xian felt such obvious emotions from him, which made Xuan Min suddenly have some vitality in the world.

But for some reason, Xue Xian felt a sudden block in his heart, unable to go up or down, very uncomfortable!

He stared at Xuan Min for a while, then suddenly said nonchalantly, "Okay, there's nothing more to ask, you can collect the money yourself."

After finishing speaking, he still rolled up the remaining golden beads and stuffed them into his sleeves. He didn't know what mechanism was there.

In fact, he still didn't know anything about it, and he still didn't figure out whether Xuan Min was the person on the notice, but he just didn't have the heart to ask further, and he didn't bother to ask.Seeing Xuan Min froze for a moment, he seemed to feel that his sudden indifference was somewhat inexplicable.

Just when Xuan Min got up and was about to walk towards the bed, Xue Xian vaguely heard some faint human voices in the base of the wall outside the window.

There is a curfew on the street at night, and the only people who can walk around with weapons are... people from the Yamen?
