Chapter 7: Those who can't catch up

To solve the problem of the banshee, the master and apprentice did not return to Li's house. They took advantage of the moonlight to rush back to Lantian Town. The moonlight was bright and rare to be bright, so there was no need to worry about the difficult road to walk at night. Except for the places where the moonlight was covered, the rest seemed to be like during the day.

"What's wrong with you? Looks like you're absent-minded, why? I was just scared by the banshee?" The master and apprentice were walking on the road. Uncle Jiu turned his head to look at Lin Tianqi. Seeing that his disciple who had become talkative these days suddenly became quiet, he felt a little uncomfortable for no reason. He thought that Lin Tianqi had just been scared by the banshee, or was angry that he had just used a fake amulet to deceive him, so he couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at Lin Tianqi and said, "Are you still angry with me, use a fake amulet to deceive you?"

"No?" When Lin Tianqi turned his head and grinned, showing his neat big white teeth, and a kind-hearted smile appeared on his face: "I just thought that after I went back, the master would teach me to practice real magic, and I felt a little excited..."

Uncle Jiu stared at Lin Tianqi's face for a long time, especially Lin Tianqi's gaze. He was sure that Lin Tianqi was either scared or angry at him, and he couldn't help but feel relieved: "Look at you like this, you have a promising future." He cursed in anger and directly withdrew his gaze.

Lin Tianqi continued to grin and heard that there was no scolding in his master's tone. In fact, he had been thinking about his golden finger just now, but after looking at the master beside him, he thought about the matter and was still not in a hurry. He still waited to lie alone in bed and then study it slowly.

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Tianqi temporarily put away his research thoughts and looked at his master's hand. He saw that he took out a small black cloth bag from his master and apprentice. This was given by Village Chief Li when he left Lijia Village before. It was thought that it was to pay the master and apprentice this time.

Looking at the small cloth bag in his master curiously, Lin Tianqi was also a little curious. How much compensation did Lijia Village give to the master and apprentice this time? After all, no matter in which era or place, money will always be one of the most attractive things. In the saying goes, money is not omnipotent, but without money, it is absolutely impossible.

Uncle Jiu also opened the small cloth bag, then poured out the things inside and put them in his hand: A series of crisp sounds of "Wow..." were revealed, eight silver coins were exposed, and Yuan Datou was brushing in one go.

"Wow, are the people in Lijia Village quite generous in their actions?"

Lin Tianqi couldn't help but lit up his eyes and said, during the Republic of China period, there were social unrest, and there were great powers outside and internal turmoil. Even the monetary system was particularly chaotic in this era. Not only was there the impact of foreign currencies, but the domestic monetary system was also chaotic. However, the most credible mainstream circulating currency is Yuan Datou under the silver standard.

Although Yuan Datou fell, the currency he created has been passed down and has become the mainstream circulating currency in China today.

Yuan Datou mainly has four types of denominations, one jiao, two jiao, one jiao, and one yuan! The Yuan Datou, commonly known as the common one, are all denominations, and the eight silver coins in Uncle Jiu's hand are Yuan Datou with a denomination. A one-dollar Yuan Datou can now buy 30 jin of rice on the market.

For ordinary families, one Yuan Datou can almost deal with family expenses for several days. This time, Lijia Village gave them eight Yuan Datou as compensation, and it was unreasonable to take action. However, when I thought that this time, not only helped Lijia Village solve the banshee, but also saved two people, if I calculate this, the reward seems reasonable.

After taking a few more glances at Yuan Datou in his master's hand, Lin Tianqi looked at his master again.

I saw that there was no change on my master's face, and he looked calm and did not be happy or sad about things. He silently put the silver coins into the bag and put them in his arms. Then he stretched out his hands with his hands on his back, and walked forward with his head raised his chest, looking very calm.

Looking at the back of his master walking to the front, Lin Tianqi secretly raised his middle finger to his master's back - pretend!

His master appeared to be an ancient well, but he was so clear that he dared to see it. The moment the silver coins were poured out of the small cloth bag, there was a hint of brightness in his master's eyes.

I was obviously happy, but I still had to pretend to be calm on the surface.

Lin Tianqi felt more and more that his master was a pretentious man.

"Master" Although he was thinking this way in his heart, he didn't dare to say it. Seeing that his master had already walked in front of him, he quickly followed him and called out. Thinking that when he returned, he would teach him magic, he couldn't help but feel excited again and was about to ask some things in this regard. However, just as he was about to start asking, Lin Tianqi couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw a man on the mountain road about thirty meters away in front of me, rushing forward with his back to them, walking in front of them.

In the middle of the night, there were people walking on the night road like them.

Moreover, Lin Tianqi felt a little familiar with his back, like a person from Lantian Town.

"What's wrong?" Uncle Jiu hadn't noticed the front yet, and asked when he heard Lin Tianqi's words.

"Master, look, there is someone in front of you, and it seems to be a little familiar." Lin Tianqi trotted to his master and pointed at the front.

Uncle Jiu also looked forward when he heard this. Sure enough, he saw the person in front of him and frowned slightly: "It seems to be Wang De? Where did he come from so late?"

"Uncle Wang" Lin Tianqi heard this and looked forward. As expected, Wang De was also from Lantian Town, and lived next to their charity village. He was in his forties. On weekdays, Lin Tianqi called him Uncle Wang. Once he was sure he was an acquaintance, Lin Tianqi relaxed, and his master was not afraid of being by the side. Then he said: "Master, I'll call Uncle Wang to wait. I don't know where he came from when he saw him. It's so late. He should have to go back to Lantian Town. Let's go along the way to have a companion."

"Yes!" Uncle Jiu did not refuse, nodded, and his eyes were looking at Wang De in front of him.

"Uncle Wang!"

Lin Tianqi quickly ran to Wang De in front and shouted at him. He walked around the middle of the night and became more popular.

He started to scream twice, but Wang De in front seemed to have not heard it and continued to walk forward.

"That's how I hear it."

Seeing that Wang De did not respond, Lin Tianqi muttered in his heart, and his trotting steps accelerated a little more.

"Uncle Wang!"

He chased him directly along the mountain road for nearly a hundred meters and called Wang De in front of him several times along the way, but the other party seemed to have not heard it. Lin Tianqi also stopped at this time.

Because he felt something was wrong, he kept trotting from the beginning to catch up with a distance of nearly a hundred meters, while Wang De in front of him was always walking as he did at the beginning. He obviously wanted to chase him quickly, but the distance between the two did not get closer at all, and he was still about thirty meters apart.

I have been chasing for so long, but I haven't brought the distance closer at all.

There was a chill for no reason, and Lin Tianqi felt a little cold behind him.

"Tianqi, don't chase him anymore, look at his feet."

At this time, my master's voice sounded from behind.

"Under the feet!"

Lin Tianqi instinctively muttered, and then looked at Wang De's feet in front, but he couldn't stop his scalp from numbing at this time.

Because in his sight, Wang De's walking feet were not stepping on the ground at all, and it looked like it was about a few centimeters across the ground. He had not looked carefully before and found it, but now he heard his master's reminder.

Damn, after chasing me for a long time, I was not a human being!

Lin Tianqi's scalp became numb, and he felt that the hairs behind him were exploding.
