The Concubine of Crossing

Although Pucheng in Li Xiao's memory is not too prosperous, everyone lives and works in peace and harmony.

In the first few cities, because he had never been there, he didn't feel too much. It wasn't until he stepped into Pucheng again that the change made him feel shocking.

The prosperity of the past is gone, because of the lack of water and food, the people in the whole city are in a state of sallow and emaciated.

In addition, compared to the previous few towns, the people in this city are a bit more hostile, and the neighbors seem to have enmity.

Moreover, there is a very strange phenomenon in Pucheng. The prices of goods in this city are very chaotic. Many things that are very cheap outside the world are sold at sky-high prices here. Even many daily things have reached the point where there is no market. Prices have completely collapsed.

Before Qian asked for food, his family was also in business. Although he was trained by his family to become a scholar, the instinct left by the businessman still allowed him to see the weirdness of such a city's prices at a glance.

"What's going on here..." Qian Yaoliang couldn't help muttering.

Li Xiao felt that this might have something to do with Luo Laibao, but this was his own man, so he couldn't tell. The other people also knew something vaguely, and they all kept their mouths shut, pretending they didn't know anything.

Everyone stepped into Pucheng again, this time returning to a familiar city. The Luo family did a great job back then, and they don't know how the people of Pucheng will react when they see them.Li Xiao was afraid of accidents, so he simply brought Xiangniang, Huaniang and others with him this time.

A few times ago, because it was inconvenient to bring too many people into the city, a few of them stayed with the big troops. It was said that the food was too important for them to help take care of it. In fact, Li Xiao didn't want to take them with him at all. Xiangniang was also arranged in the convoy, and Huaniang glared at Zhaocai and others countless times in anger.

This time, when Li Xiao told them to follow, Hua Niang was very excited immediately, and after being glanced at by Xiang Niang, she withdrew her excited expression, and then put on very plain clothes, looking like a conscientious girl.

Of course, such a girl, Li Xiao, would not be easy to use, but Hua Niang couldn't help but moved to him by herself, fanning the wind and handing water and dry food, seeing Luo Laibao frequently looking at her, it was a bit delicious.

Li Xiao frowned, "Miss Huaniang, if you can't take it easy, go back and watch the convoy."

Hua Niang suddenly froze, and Yan'er returned to Xiang Niang with her head down, Xiang Niang glanced at her.

Zhaocai and the others wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. They looked at each other, pretending they didn't see anything.

It didn't take long for a group of people to enter the city, and they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Pucheng was originally a small city, not to mention that everyone in the neighborhood knew each other, but they were somewhat familiar. Now that such a group of strangers suddenly came, it was easy to attract people's attention.

At this time, someone who didn't know gave a yell, and then called out with some hesitation, "Master Luo?"

Immediately, the eyes of the people around fell on Luo Laibao's face, and they all said excitedly, "Master Luo, it is really Master Luo who is back!"

Then someone asked immediately, "Master Luo, are you here to sell things? Do you sell food?"

"Master Luo, do you still buy a shop in your family? My shop sells you cheap!"

"Master Luo, my shop is cheaper, you can buy ours, as long as you use ten loads of grain, you can exchange it!"

"My family's, my family's, my family only needs five dans to exchange!"

"Master Luo, Master Luo..."

Hearing so many calls, money and food, if he didn't know that Luo Laibao and the others lived here before, his official career for so many years would have been in vain.

But since Luo Laibao and the others didn't mention it, he didn't have much to say. After taking a look at Luo Laibao, he stopped talking and waited for them to deal with it themselves.

Seeing the enthusiastic crowd, Luo Laibao smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but our family has gone bankrupt and we really can't buy your shop."

Luo Laibao smiled and rejected everyone, then walked up to Qian Yaoliang, "My lord, let's go."

Qian Yaoliang glanced at him, then nodded at the crowd of people, and was about to leave.

At this time, someone became anxious, "Master Luo, my shop was sold to me by your family back then, and now I don't want it anymore, please return the money to me!"

Someone started, and someone immediately echoed, "Yes, yes, I don't want that much money anymore, Young Master Luo, just give me back half of it."

"Master Luo, these shops were sold by your family, you can't ignore them!"

"Master Luo, Master Luo..."

When a group of people saw that they were leaving, they quickly blocked Luo Laibao's way, saying to each of them that Luo Laibao must be responsible for their shop.That face actually looked a little hideous.

Luo Laibao's eyes turned cold a little bit, and the warmth that was aroused by everyone's warm greetings had already receded.

At this time, money needs food, and he heard something. He looked at the group of people who spoke enthusiastic words, but their eyes became fierce. He frowned, and he stopped a young man who was at the front. "Brother, don't you know that the Luo family tricked you into buying your shop?"

The man was stunned for a moment when he was called out for money and food, "Um, it's really not, but I don't want this shop now."

Qian asked for food and frowned, "Then I don't know if the shop has been transferred to the government?"

The man still wanted to join Luo Laibao, but was stopped by money and food again and again. He was very impatient, "So what? The Luo family has sold so many shops, and they have already lowered the price. Back then, I The shop has spent so much money, what's the matter now I just want to change some food?"

Both money and food were stunned by the shameless remarks of these people, "Businessmen pay attention to the balance between money and goods. Since the Luo family did not cheat, and you are willing to go to the government to transfer the account, you will be justified by the government. Fair trade. There has never been a law that stipulates that the seller must return the product to the buyer after it has been sold for two years.”

When the man heard this, his face became distorted, "You know what a fart! Our family has put all the money in to buy this shop. It's been two years, and we haven't earned any money. We just lost money and went in. Now our family has no money to buy food!"

Money needs food: "..."

Li Xiao couldn't stand it, "I don't know how to do business, so don't make that idea. How old is a man, who can't even bear the consequences of his choice, is he still a man?"

Being ridiculed by Li Xiao, the man immediately retorted, "A concubine who needs a man, I don't know who is less like a man!"

Li Xiao's face is so good that people who have seen it once will never forget it. In order to give him a long face, Luo Laibao always took him around to recognize people, so most of these people We all know Li Xiao.Even if there is someone you don't know, once someone mentions it, you will know it immediately.

Now listening to that person's words, all of them immediately looked at Li Xiao with various eyes, those who disliked, despised, envied, and even coveted faintly, and so on.

Hua Niang immediately frowned, although she heard Xiang Niang mentioned this matter, but Luo Laibao said that Li Xiao was his wife when she was in the capital, although occasionally she would have strange eyes, but they were all relatively cryptic Yes, this is the first time I have seen such an uncomfortable look in my eyes.

Immediately, Hua Niang's eyes became unfriendly, and with a slight movement of her fingers, a strange fragrance came out from her cuffs. Soon, there were rustling noises all around, and small insects came from the ground, from the grass, from the Climbed up from the eaves.

At first, no one noticed it, until someone felt his neck itchy, scratched it casually, and found that a bug had been grabbed from his neck, he frowned, "Where did the bug come from?" leave.

I thought it was just a small bug, it was really a normal thing, but as soon as he turned his head, he felt that something was wrong, he suddenly turned his gaze back, and saw densely packed crawling places where he dropped the bug just now. full of bugs.

The big ones were palm-sized spiders, and the small ones were ants smaller than sesame seeds. They crawled on the ground in groups, and the scene was very spectacular. The one he just lost had long since disappeared.

I don't know where so many bugs crawled out of this small Pucheng.

The man let out a scream, and quickly backed away, but felt that his feet felt right. When he lowered his head, he saw a bunch of bugs trampled to death under his feet, and quite a few crawled on his body.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The man let out a scream, and the stern voice instantly attracted the attention of the people around him, and then everyone screamed, jumping non-stop, and slapping the bugs .

There are so many bugs, there are always places that can't be photographed, and soon someone screamed, "Ahhh! The bugs bit me! Ahhh! It's so itchy!"

"Ahhh! Get out of here, get out of here!"

"Ahhh!!! Help!!!"

But in just a few breaths of time, countless insects crawled onto these crowds, and when one was slapped away, the second, third, and countless others were surrounded. No matter how much you slapped, there were more The bugs crawled on them, and there was an endless stream.

At this time, how could these people care about Luo Laibao and the others, they slapped their bodies one by one, and ran away in all directions.They left money and asked for food, and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

Those bugs seemed to have eyes, and they crawled on those people in Pucheng. When they passed by the money and food, they seemed to be invisible. They crawled directly past them, not even a single one on them. Climbing, let a few people feel nervous for a while.

When the Pucheng people ran away, the bugs who were still densely packed just now retreated back as if they had finished attending the party, leaving only the bewildered crowd in place.

After a long time, money asked for food before he murmured, "Could it be that the bugs in this city are still xenophobic?"

Everyone: "..."

Only Li Xiao glanced at Hua Niang calmly, and saw the girl stuck out her tongue at him.
