Seeing that Jin Buhuan was still silent, the young man in purple clothes next to him said flutteringly: "If you don't get rid of the roots, there will be endless troubles. I think it's better to kill him, right?"

When Jin Buhuan heard this, he finally moved and said, "No need to kill."

The young man in purple suddenly frowned, as if he didn't agree, and was even a little rude: "You really think your life is too long."

Anyone with eyes can see that although the woman and child were grieved by Sikong Yun's death, when they looked at Jin Buhuai, there was hatred in their eyes that could not be covered up.

A woman might be powerless to seek revenge.

But when that child grows up, he will become a disaster.

However, Jin Buhuan was unmoved. He turned his wrist, shook off the blood on the snow-white sword, put the sword away, and then lightly warned the young man in purple: "This is Nipan Street, what are you going to do?

You don’t need to teach me.”

The young man sneered, finally loosened his grip and let go.

As soon as the woman was freed, she immediately took her child and threw herself on Sikong Yun's body, crying loudly.

Jin Buhuan didn't even look at it, he just waved his hand to the attendant beside him and ordered: "Leave two people to collect the bank account in the shop."

The two attendants closest to him bowed in response.

Jin Buhuan turned to the door, facing the onlookers on the street, and said calmly: "I grew up on Nipan Street since I was a child, and I never dare to forget your kindness. If you don't exchange gold for a day, you will have something.

One day on Nipan Street. It was just Sikong Yun who colluded with outsiders to harm me, and he deserved to die. Anyone who has the same evil intentions as him in the future will end up today!"

Everyone was silent, and no one dared to answer the question.

Jin Buhuan said that and walked out of the door.

Everyone moved out of the way for him again and watched the carriage he got on leave from Nipan Street again.

The two remaining attendants immediately entered the counter, took out the banknotes and account books, and at the same time dispersed the customers in the shop.

However, Zhou Man still held the bow in his hand. He hesitated for a moment and did not leave. He only asked: "I made an agreement with this Sikong boss before to buy a bow, and I also want to buy arrows over there."

As he spoke, he pointed towards the pile of hot items in the corner.

The attendant looked at it and couldn't help but frowned: "You want to buy something over there?"

Zhou Man nodded.

The attendant stared at her for a while and then said: "The goods over there are three for one tael of silver, and your birch bow costs three taels and six."

Zhou Man was surprised: "This bow only costs three to six dollars?"

The attendant said: "Of course. In this shop, and even on this street, the price of every item is determined by the owner."

Then he realized: "How much did Sikong Yun tell you?"

Zhou Man looked back at Sikong Yun, who was lying on the ground covered in blood and lifeless. He laughed for some reason, and then said: "Eight Liang."

When the attendant heard this, his face suddenly showed anger and undisguised contempt.

Zhou Man was curious: "I heard people on the street say that your boss is 'not worth a penny, not a dime'. Even if a few flying swallows pass over his head, he will leave a few feathers behind. How come the price of this bow and arrow is so high?"

Is it so... fair?"

The waiter was displeased: "It's true that my boss loves money, but he doesn't make any money from Nipan Street."

Probably because she felt that Zhou Man's words just now were too offensive, the attendant didn't look at her kindly anymore.

Zhou Man found it interesting, but not angry at all.

She originally thought she didn't have enough money and was thinking of taking a risk and selling the "Shen Zhao Jing" given by Wang, but she didn't expect that she didn't need it now.

She bought the three-stone birch bow that she had tried before with three taels and six cents. She spent another one tael and carefully picked out three tattered bows made of heavy silver from the pile of bloody rags.

In the end, I still had less than 400 coins left, so I bought twelve ordinary carved feather arrows and a quiver.

At this point, Zhou Man spent all his money and returned home with a full load.

But after leaving the weapons shop, she was in no hurry to leave.

The people who had previously gathered outside the weapons shop to watch the excitement, giving some pointers and sighing, had almost dispersed at this time. Those who should go shopping continued shopping, and those who should set up stalls continued setting up stalls.

But Zhou Man searched around the street and found the person he was looking for.

He was one of the many people who had previously discussed the issue of gold not being exchanged for money.

He is quite old and has a gray beard. He has set up a small stall selling elixirs on the street. He is shaking a cattail fan in his hand and looks very relaxed and at ease.

Zhou Man walked up and spoke: "Old man, there was a life-threatening lawsuit in that shop. Why don't people on the street seem to care much about it and just left after watching it?"

The old man glanced at her and was quite proud: "Of all the people who can open a store on this street, how many of them don't have two lives on their hands? It's just killing a person, not to mention that it won't be exchanged for gold."

Zhou Man asked: "Isn't it okay to kill my former benefactor?"

The old man said: "Everyone has watched him grow up. People who come from Nipan Street must have this kind of character."

Zhou Man was a little impressed for a moment: "I see. Born in Nipan Street, but still able to hook up with people from aristocratic families to find jade marrow for the fairies of the Song family, it's really not a small feat..."

The old man said: "That's right! I heard that Song Lanzhen is as beautiful as a fairy and loves to grow flowers. Jin Buhuan wants to collect jade pith this time and water the flowers for the fairy. Maybe he will get blue eyes or even better.

.Although the Song family cannot be compared with the Wang family, it is still one of the three great aristocratic families..."

When he spoke, he seemed to be proud.

However, when Zhou Man heard the words "Song Lanzhen", he couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment, and slowly he felt a bit of bitterness rising under his tongue.

She asked with a smile: "Jin Buhuan hasn't collected the jade pith yet?"

The old man subconsciously said: "The jade pith is not ready to be harvested in the Jiajin Valley yet, wait...wait a minute, why are you asking about this?"

He realized it after he finished speaking and looked at Zhou Man suspiciously, but then he laughed: "The jade pith belongs to the Song family. Who within a hundred miles has the guts to snatch it? I advise you people to save your lives."

Zhou Man then pretended to be taught, but laughed: "Of course I don't dare."

But after looking away from the old man and turning around with the bow and arrow on her back, the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

Zhou Man changed a few people in the city to inquire before leaving the city, but he did not return to the village immediately. Instead, he went up the mountain first, wrapped the bow and arrow he bought with grass leaves and hid it in a tree hole, and then went down the mountain towards his home.

go.

The wooden fence and the bamboo fence are still the same as when she left.

Only when she got closer did she realize that someone had placed a roasted chicken leg at her door and carefully wrapped it several times in rice dumpling leaves, as if they were afraid of getting it dirty.

Zhou Man frowned and turned around to look around, but saw the swaying shadows of the trees in the village in the afternoon, and no one was there.

She thought for a while, and something came to her mind.

So I couldn't help but think it was a bit funny.

How big of a brat is he to come here to repay a favor?

However, she happened to be out of food, so she didn't refuse. She bent down to pick up the roasted chicken leg, took it into her mouth with a clear conscience, and then pushed the door straight into the house.

It was morning when she left and it was already dusk when she came back. After finishing the roasted chicken legs and washing her hands, the sky became dark.

Zhou Man blew the fire stick and lit the oil lamp on the table.

A dim flame illuminated the four walls.

She was finally able to sit at the table and sort out what she had seen and heard in Xiaojian's old city today, but found that she could not let go of the news about the jade marrow no matter what.

Although she was lucky in the weapon shop, she found arrows engraved with heavy silver, which should be able to shoot "a rainbow", but after all, there were only three arrows, and they were all damaged to varying degrees. For example, the casting pattern was incomplete, and the arrowheads were damaged.

The edge has been blunted...

But if there is jade marrow, even a small jar can strengthen at least fifty arrows.

This is like a poor scholar seeing a golden house. How could Zhou Man not be moved?

"But Jin Buhuai and I had no grudges in the past and have no grudges in recent times. The jade marrow was found for Song Lanzhen. It would be bad if I wanted to rob him, right?" And she made a calculation in her mind, "Although his personal cultivation is mediocre.

, but the young man in purple who followed him is not simple, he also has an innate realm..."

Zhou Man couldn't help but frown, and stared at the flickering flames of the oil lamp. After a while, he suddenly made a decision: "Since I can't decide, let's see God's will."

She took out the only copper plate left on her body and said to the oil lamp: "Please bear witness, if the throwing of this copper plate is positive, it means that I should give up and never covet jade pith again; but if the throwing of this copper plate is positive, I will stop coveting jade pith.

It’s the opposite, which means I have to take action to get it.”

After saying this, he threw the copper plate into the air.

After a while, it fell on the table——

front.

Zhou Man raised his eyebrows, picked up the copper plate, and threw it again.

Still positive.

Her expression remained unchanged and she tossed again.

This time it's finally the other way around.

Zhou Man finally smiled with satisfaction: "You can't blame me for being a poor man. The jade marrow is already in nature and can be taken by everyone. It seems that it is hard to violate the 'will of God', so I have to fight for it."

She happily put away the coin.

Now that "God's will" has been revealed, all that remains is execution.
