Chapter 63: Release
Su Peng looked into the wooden cage at the hunter's feet, and saw that the white fox in the cage was not big, as if it was not an adult, but the fur on its whole body was like snow, there was no variegation at all, and its left hind foot seemed to be injured, with a circle of blood.
"I didn't expect to see a white fox with such good fur in such a small place...... Coincidentally, my mother had a fox fur winter coat, but she was missing a shawl, so she bought the white fox and killed it, but she could make a good shawl and give it to her mother. ”
Ling Xiaoyu looked at the white fox in the wooden cage and said.
"Well, what this young lady said is very true, I have been hunting for so many years, and I have never seen a fox with such beautiful fur, this time it is luck, if I hadn't strayed into the Thousand-Eyed Swamp, I wouldn't have been able to hunt this white fox, but it was worth it...... Killing this fox is enough to make a shawl. The hunter listened, nodded and said to Ling Xiaoyu.
Su Peng was looking at the little white fox in the wooden cage on the ground at this time, this little white fox seemed to have spirituality, and seemed to understand the conversation between the hunter and Ling Xiaoyu, and immediately became even more agitated, and kept hitting the wooden cage with his body, but unfortunately this wooden cage was very strong, and it was not something that its small body could hit.
"Yo? This fox is good, I can make a good fur hat when I buy it, and I bring it well in winter. ”
At this time, behind Su Peng and Ling Xiaoyu, someone suddenly said.
Su Peng and Ling Xiaoyu turned around, only to see four men who looked a little sloppy and had evil looks in their eyebrows coming over, one of these four people with a knife, one with a hook, one with a stick, and one with a hammer, but four characters from the rivers and lakes.
"The one who sells things, how much is this fox? We bought it if the price was reasonable! Among the four Jianghu people, the Jianghu man with a long knife asked the hunter while making a gesture to take out the money.
"If you want this white fox sincerely, you only need three or two halves of gold." When the hunter saw that the buyer had come again, he was very enthusiastic and spoke.
"Three taels of gold? Why don't you grab it? Listening to the hunter's offer, the five short figures but the hammer-wielding Jianghu couldn't help but shout, and the hand of the Jianghu man with a knife in front of him stopped moving.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive...... It is an ordinary fox skin, and the best complete one is seven taels of silver, and the white fox is a thousand and ten thousand foxes may not be able to see one, fifty times more expensive, but also, this white fox is I risked my life into the swamp of the thousand eyes to hunt by luck, the next time I encounter the road to know the road will be decades later, there is no three taels of gold, I will never sell it. ”
The hunter shook his head and said to the four quacks.
"Yo? You didn't see it, but you also entered the Swamp of the Thousand Eyes...... Could it be that he is also trying his luck and looking for the treasure of the ancient tomb? Listening to the hunter's words, the four Jianghu characters couldn't help but look at him more.
"How dare I...... It's just tracking down a prey and accidentally walking in. The hunter quickly shook his head and said.
"Boss, this white fox is three and a half gold, it's really not expensive, I bought it." At this time, Ling Xiaoyu, who had been looking at the white fox in the cage, suddenly spoke, and was about to touch the purse on his waist after speaking.
Su Peng didn't think it was strange, it was Su Peng, and now he was worth thirty taels of gold, and Ling Xiaoyu's father was a famous figure in the rivers and lakes, even if he was fair and strict, but after so many years, whether it was in terms of prestige and martial arts, or in terms of prestige in the rivers and lakes, Su Peng was not worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and Su Peng would never believe it...... Even if you just rely on fame to settle some things in the people, I am afraid that the fair fee charged will be more than that.
Therefore, Ling Xiaoyu can spend more than three taels of silver to buy a white fox, which is completely expected, the uncle of the little girl is the lord of a city, and the cost is 120,000 taels of silver, which is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.
The four Jianghu people behind Su Peng and Ling Xiaoyu, hearing Ling Xiaoyu say this, couldn't help but stagnate, and seemed to feel that Ling Xiaoyu had swept away their face, and the income of ordinary Jianghu people was not too high, if there was no gang power behind them, and there was no prestige to buy their own property to give people peace, and if they didn't rob their homes, it would be a lot to have a few taels of gold in a month, these four Jianghu people were obviously not rich, seeing Ling Xiaoyu so generous, they couldn't help but feel deflated, and their faces were gloomy.
But Ling Xiaoyu touched the purse twice, but frowned, and didn't touch anything.
"Ha, I said that the daughter of a rich and noble son came out to walk the rivers and lakes, and it turned out that she was also a fat man who had no money." Seeing Ling Xiaoyu's movements, the few characters in the rivers and lakes behind them suddenly felt relieved, and the characters in the rivers and lakes who used the hook couldn't help but say in a weird way.
Although Ling Xiaoyu is the daughter of a god hunter, after all, she is still inexperienced in the rivers and lakes, and after listening to the words of the person behind her, she couldn't help frowning, feeling a little unbearable on her face, she took out her purse again, and actually took out a dark golden paper from her purse.
"Huh?" Looking at this paper, the four martial arts people behind Su Peng and Ling Xiaoyu immediately took a breath of cold air and were silent for a moment.
Su Peng also frowned, he had seen similar paper, it was when Han Tuo's personal soldiers exchanged the three hundred taels of gold seized from the Qinglong Mountain robbers in Jiangning County and handed it to Han Tuo, this is the golden ticket of the famous Tongyun Money Village on the rivers and lakes, a gold ticket worth at least one hundred taels of gold, the production is not ordinary paper, but a special special material between the gold paper, and it is also sewn with fine gold thread gold leaf, which can be lightly set on fire and water, and the value is extraordinary, Tongyun Qianzhuang, Gold tickets larger than 100 taels of gold are made of this material.
At this time, the paper that Ling Xiaoyu took out was the golden ticket of Tongyun Qianzhuang, which was worth at least one hundred taels of gold, Ling Xiaoyu took it out and shook it twice, Su Peng's eyes were sharp, and he saw that it was written with the words 'three hundred taels of gold Tongyun Qianzhuang Lihui'.
"What a coincidence...... I don't have any loose silver left, only this golden ticket...... Brother Su, do you have three halves of gold on you? Lend me for the time being, and when you get to a place where you can exchange golden tickets, I'll pay you back. Ling Xiaoyu shook the golden ticket in her hand, put it back in her purse, and said to Su Peng.
"Hmph...... Rich is amazing, huh? Behind Su Peng and Ling Xiaoyu, the four Jianghu characters reacted, glanced at each other, snorted the man with the knife, and then the four of them left in a hurry.
Su Peng sighed in his heart, he didn't need to look at the people behind him, he also knew that they had already thought in their hearts, Ling Xiaoyu was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl after all, and her experience in the rivers and lakes was not good, and she didn't understand the most basic wealth.
Shaking his head, Su Peng touched his body, took out three halves of gold, handed it to the hunter, and said, "We bought this white fox." ”
"Ha Luha, thank you two knights, thank you two knights."
The hunter took the gold, was very happy, thanked him again and again, and then gave the wooden cage containing the white fox to Su Peng and the others, and gave it together with the wooden cage.
"Great! Brother Su, let's find a butcher and a leather craftsman in this town, kill this white fox, and then treat the fox skin first, and then find a post station, and send the fox skin back to Zhongzhou's home, there are fur craftsmen with excellent craftsmanship at home, and then make this white fox skin into a shawl, which is considered to be a filial piety to my mother. ”
Ling Xiaoyu was very happy to see that Su Peng had bought this white fox, and said to Su Peng.
Su Peng was noncommittal, and suddenly his heart moved slightly, and he glanced at the white fox in the wooden cage.
The little white fox in the cage seemed to be able to understand people's speech, and after listening to Ling Xiaoyu's words, he seemed to know that he was going to die, and he didn't move anymore, but his body trembled, and his smart fox eyes were full of fear.
Su Peng saw the little white fox's humane gaze, and couldn't help but suddenly move in his heart, as if he had touched something, and for a moment, the white fox seemed to be no longer a fox, but like a human child, trembling, as if he was begging with his eyes to spare its life and give it a chance to survive......
For a moment, Su Peng couldn't help but lose his mind.
"Brother Su, Brother Su, what's wrong with you?" Ling Xiaoyu, who was beside Su Peng, saw Su Peng's appearance at this time, and felt that something was wrong, so she shook her slender and plain white jade hand in front of Su Peng's eyes, and asked Su Peng.
"Oh...... It's nothing. At this time, Su Peng also came back to his senses and replied to Ling Xiaoyu in his mouth.
But after thinking about it, Su Peng felt that he still couldn't forget the glance he had just made with the white fox full of spirituality, and a burst of unbearability suddenly surged in his heart, and he couldn't bear to be killed like this little life full of spirituality and turned into a shawl.
"Miss Ling...... How about discussing something with you? Su Peng thought about it, suddenly raised his head, glanced at Ling Xiaoyu, and said to her.
"What's the matter? Brother Su said that Xiaoyu would do everything he could to help. Ling Xiaoyu listened and said to Su Peng, although she and Su Peng knew each other because of a misunderstanding at first, but after the past few days of contact, her impression of Su Peng has changed greatly, and she feels that Su Peng is a good person.
"It's not a big deal...... It's just that Su Mou looked at this white fox just now, and found that this little life seemed to be quite spiritual, and his heart suddenly swelled up with unbearable feelings, and he didn't want to kill it, so he also asked Miss Ling to make it convenient for Su to let Su release this white fox, which can also be regarded as a good deed. ”
Su Peng arched his hand and said to Ling Xiaoyu.
"That's it......" Ling Xiaoyu listened, tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Although I want to buy a white fox fur shawl for my mother, I don't just have to ...... If Brother Su has a heart, just go and reincarnate, anyway, this white fox was also bought by Brother Su with money. However, Brother Su, isn't this similar to the group of rich businessmen and the fake monks you scolded? ”
When Su Peng heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he had been on the ship for the past two days, but he told Ling Xiaoyu about the fake monk Yao Tong and others as a joke about the deception of the fake monk Yao Tong and others.
Stunned, Su Peng couldn't help laughing, and said self-deprecatingly: "Hehe...... I didn't expect me to laugh at other people's fake compassion, and I was only 50 steps and 100 steps to laugh. ”
"Hehe, that's not the case, Brother Su is sincere, it's not like those people who are just selling their reputations, it's different." Ling Xiaoyu listened, covered her mouth with her hands and said with a smile.
"Hey, don't comfort me, I'll just be a hypocrite." Su Peng said with a slight smile, then picked up the wooden cage and walked towards the depths of the town with Ling Xiaoyu.
The two walked for a while, walked out of the town, and arrived at a forest in the distance, at this time there was no one around, Su Peng was worried that the white fox would be inconvenient to move, and he would be caught again, and walked a distance, before he used internal force to split the wooden cage, took the little white fox out, put it on the ground, and said: "Go home by yourself, take care of your injuries, be careful, and don't be caught again next time." ”
The white fox nodded three times as if he understood, and then said goodbye as if he had tears in his eyes, and limped into the depths of the forest.
Su Peng just wanted to turn around and leave, but heard Ling Xiaoyu say to Su Peng: "Brother Su, look! ”
Su Peng turned around, but saw that the white fox had walked more than 20 meters away, suddenly turned around, stood up on both feet, and shook Su Peng with his upper body like a human.
"It's really a strange fox ......" Su Peng couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw it, nodded to the white fox, and said, "Be careful on the road, don't be caught again!" ”
The white fox bowed again and bowed three times like a human before turning around and limping away.
"This white fox is indeed psychic...... It's the first time I've seen such a grateful fox, stronger than some people, but fortunately I didn't kill it. When Ling Xiaoyu saw it, she was also secretly surprised, and walked over to Su Peng and said.
"There are no wonders in the world, who said that ghost foxes are not human?" Su Peng said in his mouth, and then said: "Let's go, it's not too early, let's quickly find an inn to stay." ”
Ling Xiaoyu nodded, and the two walked into the town again.
Along the way, Su Peng and Ling Xiaoyu both found that this place seemed to be a little unusual, this town was not big, but along the way, Su Peng and the two of them met at least eight or nine martial arts figures, all of them looked mysterious and secretive, as if something had happened.
"There are strange things in this town, I'm afraid that something will happen, and there are too many martial arts characters." Su Peng looked at another group of Jianghu people who passed by him, and said to Ling Xiaoyu.
"Hmm...... By the way, when I bought the white fox before, I heard that there is a thousand-eyed swamp here, and it seems that an ancient tomb has been unearthed, will it have anything to do with this? Ling Xiaoyu asked Su Peng.
"It's very likely that it's about...... Let's find an inn and settle down for the time being, and then ask for news. Su Peng said, Ling Xiaoyu nodded, and looked for the inn with Su Peng.
The two looked for a while in the town, and found the largest inn, called Yun Go Yunlai Inn, the innkeeper was an aunt, Su Peng asked, but there was no classic room not enough to leave only one situation, this inn still has a small building, two floors up and down, but the rent is relatively expensive, the guests dislike it is too expensive and do not rent, Su Peng and Ling Xiaoyu are not bad in money, so they rented the small building.
The two of them were not in a hurry to rest, but asked for a table of wine and food in the lobby of the inn to eat first, and at the same time looked at the characters in the lobby, but saw that in this small inn, there were also thirteen or fourteen martial arts figures, all three or four at a table, and they were secretly discussing something in a low voice.
Su Peng didn't want to inquire for a while, just chatting with Ling Xiaoyu while eating, and was eating, but saw a young martial artist who looked like a scholar, but carried a long sword, walked into the inn, this life was kind, it seemed that he had read a book for a few years, and when he entered the inn, he found that there was no seat.
When Su Peng saw it, his eyes lit up, and he stood up and shouted at the scholar who was carrying the sword: "This friend, if there is no seat, why don't you come and sit together?" ”
