Chapter 25
Facts have proved that the human heart is fucking blacker than this guy’s robe.
The moment Xiaoyu rushed out, he knew he had succeeded. He used his long, dirty and curved nails to brush his lips and whiskers, which were even dirtier, and then plucked the messy and sparse gray beard on his chin. He smiled dryly, revealing a few medical stones.
His teeth became more and more humble and suspicious.
The vendor glanced at Xiaoyu, who was holding the parrot tightly, and then at Li Xiao, who was bracing himself. He bared his big yellow teeth and spit out two words: "Twelve!"
"Your bird is golden? Why don't you go and grab it!" Before Li Xiao could say anything, Li Hu jumped up.
The vendor just glanced at Li Hu lightly and knew that this child was not the one who could make the final decision. His cunning eyes only turned for a tenth of a second, and his face changed into another face.
"Brother, your sister likes it so much, so you should buy it. It's only ten taels of silver. It's not a big deal to you. For us, a small family, it's a big deal." The hawker said to Li
Xiao Xiao said with cupped hands, a flattering smile on his face. He tried his best to speak in civilized language, even though he opened his mouth and a strong bad breath wafted out, forcing Li Xiao to retreat.
"Two liang!" Li Xiao covered his nose and said the same two words. He really had nothing to say to such a guy. He wanted to end this transaction as soon as possible!
He was obviously stunned, his saliva was hanging on his beard, his little eyes were full of tears, and he sobbed: "Little brother! He is going to die, he is going to die! The family was hit by a disaster and had no food. I have six children and eight more."
I'm a ten-year-old mother. I can't get rid of the trouble at home. I'm starving to death and my child is sick, so I sell my child's beloved birds. You don't know how sad my eldest girl is crying. Just do it.
Eight taels of silver for a good deed, okay?"
The miserable look and pleading tone. The atmosphere was heightened to the extreme, and tears naturally flowed down.
Li Hu wiped his nose nonchalantly and glanced at his elder brother secretly. As for Xiaoyu, her eyes were filled with tears. She was worried about her sister who had lost her beloved playmate!
Your sister! If he hadn't caught the cunning look in this guy's eyes, Li Xiao would have almost believed it. If this damn bastard was acting, he would have won the Golden Award long ago.
If there is a disaster, there will be no disaster if the weather is smooth this year. The biggest disaster in Liaodong is the Jurchens. The most outrageous thing is the eighty-year-old mother. You have six children. I will admit it by pinching my nose. That’s it.
Don't try to conjure up an eighty-year-old woman. I don't know what's wrong with such an extremely unreasonable term. Anyone who begs others has an eighty-year-old woman.
The last time Li Xiao heard someone say this, he was in the signing room of Liaoyang Mansion Yamen.
"Fifty taels of silver! Five taels of silver!" Just when Li Xiao was about to bargain hard, the parrot suddenly spoke by itself.
Li Xiao's head twitched and he observed the parrot very carefully. He was extremely suspicious that this guy had become a spirit. Can you buy a goblin for five taels of silver?
"Brother! Just buy it, he is so pitiful." Xiaoyu held the parrot in one hand and tried hard to tug on the corner of Li Xiao's clothes with the other hand. The vendor was very stubborn and handed the chain forward a little so that Li Yu could
Bring the parrot closer to Li Xiao.
Five taels of silver, that's what the girl selling herself with grass on the street paid. Now that she had to spend five taels of silver to buy such a broken bird, Li Xiao felt so panicked at the loss.
All economic laws and calculations were shattered to pieces by Xiaoyu's big, pitiful eyes.
"Deal!" When he said these two words, Li Xiao doubted his mental state.
Hearing the eldest brother talking, the second brother Li Xiu happily paid the money to the vendor. Li Hu angrily brought the cage over, and Li Hao looked at the parrot in Xiaoyu's hand eagerly. He also wanted to hug it!
After the money was collected, the transaction was over! The brothers and sisters left, and you could still hear the vulture-like laughter of the vendor even after walking far away.
"Brother! Xiaoyu won't have dinner tonight, don't be upset, okay!" Xiaoyu grabbed the parrot like a chicken with one hand, and held Li Xiao's hand with the other. Her big and pitiful eyes tilted up to 45 degrees, looking at Li Xiao.
owl.
"It's okay, Xiaoyu just wants a bird, it's not a big deal. When I make money later, I'll buy you a big one. It's more than a foot tall, and you can bite open such a big walnut in one mouthful." He patted Xiaoyu.
He turned his head and tried to give Xiaoyu a smile. He was very worried that the parrot worth a big girl would be caught and killed by this child.
As long as you find the raw materials and make matches, it's really a small matter for five taels of silver.
Among the raw materials for matches, the most important ones are phosphorus and sulfur. Li Xiao spent a day shopping in the market, but could not find these two things. After asking, he found out that these two things are military supplies. They are not sold by the public at all, so he wanted to
This thing is not that difficult.
It’s over! The plan to make a fortune was aborted, and I still had to pay five taels for it. After eating, Li Xiao became angry when he looked at the parrot worth a big girl. Why didn’t he meet a big girl...
, the girl who planted straw to sell herself was really ugly. Li Xiao felt that he planted straw to sell himself, which was probably a helpless move by his family to clean up their inventory.
"Xiaobai, eat meat!" Xiaoyu carefully tore off a piece of mutton and put it into the parrot's mouth. Geritu left a slaughtered sheep. Thanks to the cold weather, he has been eating mutton these days.
.
"Eat meat! Eat meat!" This is the voice of the parrot.
Xiaobai...! Li Xiao naturally thought of Nohara Shinnosuke's famous puppy. This guy is also covered in white hair. If he calls him Xiaobai, then he should just call him Xiaobai.
After the beginning, it becomes very confusing. After all, they are still a group of children, and there is no one who doesn’t like small animals. One is fed a mouthful of rice, and the other is fed a mouthful of meat. The dining table becomes a parrot dinner! Until Li Hu even takes the food between his teeth.
When he fed the cut meat to the parrots, Li Xiao felt that this farce should be stopped.
"From now on, when we eat, put the parrot... Xiaobai in another room." Li Xiao had to set a rule. With a table full of children, even Li Hu couldn't eat properly. After taking a bite, he looked back at the shelf.
Xiaobai.
"Bad brother, bad brother!"
Li Xiao took off one of his shoes and threw it over. The little white monster screamed and flew up. Several feathers fell in the air!
"Bad big brother, bad big brother!" Xiao Bai stood on the beam and shouted. I don't know when, the chain on his leg was loosened.
Now Li Xiao was at his wits end and kept telling himself that he was a good young man with ideals and ambitions and could not be like a flat-haired beast.
Li Hu was very happy to see his eldest brother eating up. Due to the boss's ferociousness, he could only hold it in, and the rice grains almost spurted out from his nose.
The sound turned out to be too loud, and Li Xiao hit him on the head with chopsticks, causing him to turn red.
