This morning, Nie Jie was about to be tormented by Xia Liang, and asked to hug him without saying anything. He didn't want to get off him when he was having breakfast, and he didn't get off when he signed up. It must grow on his body.
Seeing that he was about to go home now, she actually gave him a moth and insisted on stopping him!
Nie Jie stared at her, and really wanted to throw this disobedient puppet away.
"There are good things." Xia Liang tilted his head slightly, and approached his ear, in order to prevent anyone from overhearing, he said in a very low voice.
A puppet has no breath of life, so naturally it does not breathe, but at this time Xia Liang is sticking to his ear, whispering softly, but it makes Nie Jie have an illusion that she is breathing next to his ear, and even feels I felt warm breath blowing against my ears.
Turning his body slightly and glaring at her, Nie Jie asked in a low voice, "What good stuff? How do you know?"
"Feeling." Xia Liang replied simply, "I don't know either."
Hearing what she said, Nie Jie's eyes became darker and thoughtful, but in the next second, he said, "Even if there are good things, we have no money and can't afford them now."
"Go and ask. It's very important." Xia Liang insisted. Just now, I had a feeling that if I missed that thing, I would be very regretful.
"What is it?" Nie Jie couldn't help but compromise again and again, and asked.
"At the vendor's place just now, it was a black stone." Xia Liang said in a low voice.
Nie Jie nodded, and after warning Xia Liang not to speak again, he carried her across the alley, changed direction, and walked back to the street vendor.
This vendor, like many people, sells some materials for making puppets, and even some weapons, as well as cultivation techniques and the like.
However, judging by the appearance of the items, they are all second-hand goods, fragmented, and some are very tattered. The things on this kind of stalls are cheaper than those in shops. Of course, sometimes you are unlucky and buy Things may have been damaged earlier, or fake.
Nie Jie held Xia Liang in his arms, stopped in front of the vendor, took a look, and found the black stone that Xia Liang mentioned just now, it was very eye-catching, the size of two fists, and it was the only one in the entire stall. Don't allow him to admit his mistakes.
"How do you sell this?" Nie Jie knelt down, picked up something other than the black stone, and asked.
The stall owner glanced at Nie Jie, then at the worn-out puppet in his arms, guessed that he was a poor man, and said without enthusiasm, "Ten silver coins."
Immediately afterwards, Nie Jie pointed to the black stone and asked softly, "What is this?"
"This is black ink stone, which is used to light fire when making puppets. If you want it, I will give you five silver coins." The stall owner raised his eyebrows and said.
"One silver coin." Nie Jie glanced at the stall owner, and coolly lowered the price to one silver coin.
"Poor ghost, don't come to buy things if you don't have money. I won't sell a silver coin!" The stall owner waved his hand and said impatiently, "Go, don't block my business."
"A piece of black ink stone is only a few hundred copper coins at most. I'll give you a silver coin, and you've earned it." Nie Jie said coldly, stood up, turned around, and left, showing no regrets at all.
When the stall owner saw Nie Jieqiong, he felt that he was ignorant, so he asked for a lot of money. Hearing what he said, he was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that this is not a fool who doesn't understand anything.
Seeing that he walked away without hesitation, he hurriedly shouted, "Hey! Come back, come back. It's all right, I'll sell you a silver coin!"
Hearing that he responded so readily, Nie Jie paused slightly, realizing that he hadn't bargained hard enough just now, and felt that he had been cheated, and even didn't want it anymore, so he just left.
However, Xia Liang has been urging him through telepathy, telling him to go back quickly and get the black stone.
Nie Jie had no choice but to turn around, took out a silver coin, and took the black stone under the happy smile of the stall owner and his silly eyes.
Looking at the other party's smile, Nie Jie thought, if this black stone is really a charcoal for burning fire, he might not be able to help but find an opportunity to block the stall owner who cheated him and beat him up , and then robbed him of his money.
Nie Jie is definitely not a person who admits that he is unlucky when he suffers a loss. Although this time, he was sent up to be cheated by others under Xia Liang's instigation, but as long as he is cheated, he doesn't care about the reason and process.
Definitely come back with revenge!
Since he couldn't take revenge on Xia Liang, he naturally wanted to settle the score with the stall owner.
All kinds of sinister thoughts ran through his mind, Nie Jie carried the black stone in his arms, hugged Xia Liang, and walked home again. This time Xia Liang was finally obedient, and nothing happened.
After returning to the courtyard, entering the room, and closing the door, Xia Liang said impatiently, "Master, take out that stone."
Nie Jie put her on the bed, then took out the black stone, and said coldly, "If this thing is useless, I will lock you in a cabinet for a day. This is punishment."
Give him a good reflection, and he must not spend the master's money indiscriminately, especially if the master is still poor.
"Since there is a punishment, it is useful, and the master should reward me." Xia Liang argued with reason, not forgetting to ask for his own interests and benefits.
"There is no reward." Nie Jie ruthlessly dismissed, "This is what you should do."
"Master is good or bad." Xia Liang glanced at him and complained.
"Tell me, what's the use of this?" Nie Jie glanced at her, ignoring her slightly sad little eyes, and said.
"Get it open." Although the owner is very bad and doesn't give rewards, Xia Liang still said obediently, "The good stuff is inside."
Nie Jie found a blade, and according to what Xia Liang said, he struggled to cut the black stone in front of him bit by bit.
Fortunately, it is said to be a stone, but the material of this black stone is not as hard as a stone. After sharpening the blade to the point of curling, it was finally able to cut a little.
As more and more cuts were made, Nie Jie's eyes narrowed, because at this time, a touch of white was exposed from the inside of the black stone, which was very beautiful, like a transparent crystal, and reflected a ray of light under the sunlight that passed through.
Seeing something, Nie Jie's spirit also lifted a little, because he was worried that the things inside would be damaged, so he started to be more meticulous.
After the contents inside completely revealed their true colors, Nie Jie looked at the round crystal bead the size of a thumbnail in front of him, his eyes were shocked, he stretched out his hand and took the bead in his hand.
"This... here... is..." Rao Yi Nie Jie's calm mind, when he felt what was contained in this bead, his eyes widened in shock, and he was a little speechless.
