C1244 Time to Close
The old man looked at the two coins in his hand. He was so angry that his beard almost rose up. But now the few cents are like hundreds of dollars from the past. Even if I wanted to find it for you, I wouldn't be able to!1
However, very quickly, his angry expression slowly disappeared and was replaced with a relieved one, "Brat, didn't you say that ginger is always spicier when you're old? I only got thirty cents for one ring. " He held the two coins in his hand, feeling a little hot.
"Old man, are you sure you want to take this money?" At this moment, the side door of the hall was pushed open, and a white-haired old woman slowly walked out. Her gaze calmly rested on the old man.
The old man took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Our store doesn't have any business at all. In my opinion, it would be better to just close it, we are already an age old man, and we have seen a lot of the usual scenery, but the current landscape is very different. Perhaps we should go out and take a look."
The old woman looked worried. "At this time, not just anyone can see the scenery. We have lived in peace and tranquility for so many years. Why do we suddenly want to be in high spirits when we were young?"
The old man looked at the old woman and said slowly, "Hope."
"What?" When the old woman heard this, she was shocked and disbelief appeared on her face. When she saw the assured look in the old man's eyes, the shock slowly disappeared and was replaced with a bright smile.
"So that's the case. Looks like the store is closed." Sigh … "It has been hard on those fellows. They have coveted our little store for many years. Now, they have finally gotten their wish."
The old man chuckled. "This old man isn't so kind-hearted to leave those brats with you. You must let them have a good memory."
Hearing this, the old woman couldn't help but roll her eyes and shake her head helplessly. She was already so old, and she still hadn't forgotten about her childhood. There was really nothing she could do about it.
After the three of them walked out of the shop, Shi Xiaomi was filled with doubts. This guy almost quarreled with the shop owner over a worthless ring.
"Fann..." Was this ring really that good? Why can't I see it! "
Cat, who was standing at the side, interjected, "Sister Xiaomi, it would be weird if you could see it, but I can't tell. But I guess the value of this ring is quite high, isn't it brother?"
"Cat is really smart, hehe …" Sikong Banyu took out the plastic ring and put it on his finger. He said in satisfaction, "Although this ring is just an ordinary ring, but now, even if someone took half of the East Tomb City to exchange for it, it still wouldn't be enough."
"Ah?" It can't be? You can't be bragging that you haven't come back to your senses! This broken ring has such a value? " Shi Xiaomi couldn't believe it. Even if this ring was priceless, it wouldn't even reach half the worth of the Dongling City!
"You don't understand …" Sikong Banyu smiled and shook his head. Not to mention half of the East Tomb City, in some people's eyes, a small country might not even have the value of such a ring.
"Enough …" "Shi Xiaomi, your mission is complete. Just now, your expression was perfect. Little Cat will give her another thousand yuan as a reward."
"Oh …" Cat took out one thousand yuan and handed it to Shi Xiaomi. "Nope. Sister Xiaomi, please accept this! "
Shi Xiaomi looked at the head of One Thousand Yuan and unconsciously felt a sense of loss. "Are you saying that you've finished hiring me?"
Sikong Banyu acknowledged and said, "Not bad, it's over." He had originally wanted to find someone to look for an easy task, and Shi Xiaomi was rather cooperative. Without her, a local, he wouldn't have the kind of chance to meet her. Now that everything was settled, it was time to head to the Four-Dimension Sect.
"Is that so?" Shi Xiaomi looked at the thousand dollars, took a deep breath and shook her head, "No need, the three thousand is enough for me, I don't need this thousand." That's right, I feel guilty for taking care of me like this. Since my home is nearby, why don't we go over and treat you guys to a meal? "This is just a way to express my feelings, is it okay?"
"Eating?" When Sikong Banyu heard this, he was stunned. After he had reached Spirit Stage, he had basically entered the state of Fasting.
"Big brother …" Since it was getting dark, why don't we go eat with big sister Xiaomi? "How about it?" Cat looked at Shi Xiaomi's pleading eyes and couldn't help but to soften her heart for a moment.
Sikong Banyu glanced at Cat and gently patted her head. Then he turned to Shi Xiaomi and said, "Sorry, we are just here for a walk. We will be leaving soon. Sorry, we will meet again if fate allows."
With that, he dragged the kitten and slowly walked away. The kitten looked at Shi Xiaomi as she walked, standing there in a daze, with a helpless expression on her face. Shi Xiaomi looked at the backs of the siblings as they slowly blended into the crowd, unable to recover from her shock for a long time. Her mind was replaying the scenes of the three of them together. That unique warmth and happiness made her recall a mixed feeling.
"Sigh …" Shi Xiaomi sighed. She felt depressed. She looked at the 3000 Yuan cash in her bag and lied there quietly, telling her that this was not a dream. However, to her, it was no different from a dream.
"Big brother …" Why did you reject big sister Xiaomi? Isn't it just a meal? "Furthermore, looking at big sister Xiaomi's pitiful appearance, I feel a little …" Cat held Sikong Banyu's hand and asked in confusion. She couldn't help but wonder why Sikong Banyu rejected Shi Xiaomi's simple invitation.
Sikong Banyu smiled faintly and said, "Cat, there are a lot of people in this world who are destined to only be your passersby. Perhaps his or her appearance will let you suddenly see the other side of happiness, but just like in the dream, everything you own will disappear without a trace."
"Too much hope often comes after great disappointment, especially for cultivators like us. Every time we walk out, we have to understand our own position, because we are different from them. To put it more simply, if nothing unexpected happens to our seven emotions and six desires, then it will be eternal. But for us, it will be eternal sorrow. Until you can no longer endure being born into this world, so, you must learn to understand, only by being able to remember less people will you be able to live even more happily. "
