Chapter 48, the missing eighteenth signature
If she expected this result, she would rather not have that set of fortune-telling. Xin Yi really didn't expect that this group of people really had sex with her and insisted on making her pay for something.
"Oh? Isn't it rich? Who just cried hard," the strong man said, crushing her hand with his soles.
"Wow!!" Xinyi was so painful that his cold sweat and tears came down together, and he swallowed the moan back into his stomach with only a heavy gas.
"Look... I brought twenty taels!" Banxia said and took out two silver ingots from her arms, "First press here, and I'll get the remaining 80 taels!"
"Oc, then I'll wait for you here. When will you bring the money and let your brother go?"
Banxia also seemed to see the tears in her eyes, and her eyes were gloomy, "I... I still have a condition... Don't step on your brother, I'm sure... I will definitely come back!"
"Ky, hurry up! Do you offer us a condition?" The strong man looked at Banxia disdainfully and said, "Don't go fast and just trample his hand, believe it?"
"I'm going now! I'm going now!" Banxia's body trembled with fear. Hearing this, he hurriedly agreed and respectfully handed over the two silver ingots, then turned around and turned his head and ran away.
The strong man surnamed Shi took the silver and bit it on his teeth. "Oh, okay, it seems that you know that you can't avoid this disaster. Is there any backhand? Boy?" With that, he finally raised his foot. When Xinyi pulled back his hand, the skin on the back of his hand had been turned open and the blood kept bleeding. Look, your brother is more sensible than you. With that, he had to kick again. Xinyi was so scared that he hurriedly wanted to block it with his arm, but at this time there was a sarcasm: "Look at how scared you. Where was the deceptive power at that time? Ah?" With that, the whole crowd also laughed and pointed at her.
About a cup of tea, some people in the crowd think it's too late to wait and have dispersed, and some are still waiting to see if the remaining 80 taels of silver can be brought. The strong man stepped on the bamboo sticks all over the ground and walked back and forth. The bamboo sticks creaked and were about to break. Xinyi could only watch and clamped his left wrist with his right hand to relieve the pain of the wound.
She finally seemed to understand why she didn't be bullied after talking with a little effort. She quarreled and thought about the little pussy trick. It was all a struggle in the palace house, which was with her brain. But now in this market, what's the use of a brain alone? After all, it can't withstand the fist hit directly.
For more than a moment, Banxia came in a hurry. When she arrived here, her knees were so tired that she knelt directly on the ground. The package containing silver on her back fell to the ground, making a crisp sound of silver impact.
"This, this is eighty taels." As he said, he untied the package. There were six ten taels of silver ingots and some pieces of broken silver, which were weighed on a scale, which was more than twenty taels. Can you let my brother go this time?"
"I didn't expect your family to be bad?" He picked up the bag of silver and took it again. "Then he turned to Xinyi and said, "Since he said a hundred taels, the villagers have seen it, I won't embarrass you, just let you go!" After saying that, he raised his leg and stepped on her shoulder again, and then left with a smile on his face.
When Xinyi saw them leave, the first thing was to struggle to get up, lie on the ground and pick up bamboo sticks one by one and stuff them into the signature tube. The book was also patted the floating dust and stuffed into his arms. The people onlookers in the outer circle also began to gradually leave. Xinyi was afraid that any bamboo stick would be kicked away, and hurriedly ordered, "Hanxia, come and help me pick it up."
"What's the use of picking up these things... Sister, do you still want to continue to do this!" Banxia ran out of breath. At this time, she stood up and stamped her feet angrily: "Sister! Don't pick it up!" He looked at the wound on the back of Xinyi's hand, "Be careful of your hand..."
"It's okay." She looked up at her brother and continued to pick up bamboo sticks. "Even if I don't do this job in the future, this thing is Uncle Chongxuan's, and I have to find an opportunity to return it to him."
"You..." Banxia couldn't say anything about her. Seeing that Xinyi insisted on doing so, she could only hum helplessly and squat down to pick it up with her.
When the two picked up the bamboo sticks on the ground and were about to leave, the old woman selling potatoes next to them stopped her. Young man, wait a minute."
"Thank you for your care these days... I don't know if there is anything else?" Xinyi turned his head to look at his mother-in-law and subconsciously wiped his eyes with the back of his right hand.
The old woman saw that she was about to put it back. She looked at the money in her waist bag and picked out two small pieces of silver and stuffed it to her. "Take it, although you can still pick up things with your hand, I still trembled just now. You take this little money. That's the medical center. Go and find a doctor to have a look.
"...No, how can I ask for your money?"
Xinyi turned his head and looked at Banxia, and he hurriedly agreed, "No, we brought silver, really." With that, he also took out two small pieces of silver to signal.
"Then why don't you take your sister to have a look... If this hand is really broken, there will be nothing you can do in the future." When the old woman said this, she was shocked by Xinyi.
Maybe he just heard Banxia's words leaking, and maybe he had already guessed that he had not broken it. In the face of such enthusiasm and dilemma, she was at a loss, stunned for a long time, and then thanked Banxia to take over. I don't know how much it will cost for this medical treatment. I borrowed the money and I'll return it to you next time.
"I see you, such a noisy place. I'm afraid you can't do fortune-telling here in Jizhou City. If you still want to do this industry, you'd better move home."
Xinyi hesitated and said nothing. He just pressed his wrist and walked to the hospital.
In this accident, I ate a hundred taels of silver. It is estimated that after paying off the debt, there is not much money left, and it is estimated that there are only ten or eight taels left at most. It costs money to see a doctor, and it costs money to eat and wear, which seems to start from scratch again.
Fortunately, the only good news is that the damage to your hand muscles and bones is not serious, and it's enough to apply medicine to heal the skin and trauma.
On the way home, Banxia helped her hold the signature and looked at her several times, but Xinyi didn't say anything for a long time.
"Long sister...?" Banxia pulled her clothes and made Xinyi come to his senses. Does the eldest sister still have pain in her hands?
Xinyi shook his head slowly, "Why didn't you go to school today?"
"What's more... Isn't Sister Lan worried about you, or she won't ask me to follow you... Sister, today and today, I will follow you, otherwise..." When he arrived at the door, Banxia also stopped talking. Zizhu and Peilan saw the wound on Xinyi's hand and asked with concern for a long time, but she did not answer for a long time. She just sat quietly and said nothing
This night, she was almost as worried as setting up a stall on the first day. Because I don't know what the future will be like and what will happen. Xinyi brushed all the bamboo sticks in the stick on the table, wiped the dirt and dust stains stepped on with a wet cloth, and checked the quantity.
This pair of hexagrams has a total of 62 signatures. But the number of bamboo sticks, no matter what, is only 61. Xinyi compared one by one and found that there was no eighteenth signature. She opened the signature, which said that the eighteenth signature was on it.
It seems that you have really lost all your luck. Xinyi smiled bitterly and sat quietly for a while before blowing out the dim oil lamp and climbing to bed.
"Sister, don't think about it. It will get better. We still have a lot of money left. Don't worry."
"Hmm." Xinyi turned over and looked at Pei Lan sleeping beside him and smiled at her. "It makes sense. Next time Yong Mingyan comes back, remember to ask him for money. You're welcome."
When Perlan heard what she said, she had recovered from the blow before she could sleep.
On the contrary, Xinyi toss and turns and finds it difficult to fall asleep: after all, she is told to stop counting... Or should she go back and look for it again?
Although she had the intention to go back to find the signature, he Peilan went to the mountain, and Banxia also went to the school first to study and left Zizhu alone to her. Only when he tried so hard to coax Zizhu to take a nap did he tiptoe out of the door.
has been given a hundred taels of silver, and Xinyi guesses that no one will bother her again today. I changed into men's clothing and put my hair on my mouth. She decided to try her luck in the city for the last time. If she finds a sign, there is no way out, then she may be able to continue such a job. If she doesn't find it, I'm afraid she really needs to change to another line.
It's easy to lose things, but it's much more troublesome to find them. When Xinyi entered the city, she felt the cold eyes and guidance that fell on her body, but she still insisted on looking around, hoping to find the trace of the sign. She remembered that the lost eighteenth signature, if it was lost, was--
"Heavenly education Li people have five families, why did it leak in the family
You can understand the meaning now, and the thing is still ten points"
If according to the signature, this signature can be found by ten. But she almost walked around the city and didn't find any similar traces.
Well, maybe it has been thrown and burned as firewood?
Xinyi was thinking of this. When he was about to give up, he read the signature repeatedly and flashed - "Family?" It's impossible to leave it at home. Does it mean that the sign is still in the position of the gossip stall? She said that she was tired of walking, so she simply turned back to the original road and looked through her previous gossip stall for a while, but she couldn't find it. Finally, she sat in front of the stall and took a rest for a while.
The old woman selling potatoes next to her has been sold back for a long time. Only Xinyi is around, putting her elbow on her knees and basking in a daze.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps approaching, as if they were coming towards her. But before he arrived, he took the lead: "It seems that I'm not here? Sir, it seems that there is no stall today... But who should I go to for this signature?
Xinyi was stunned and looked up, but saw the handsome man standing in the twilight, and a sign in his hand had been handed to her.
The handwriting on the calculation signature is clearly visible - the '18th signature'.
"What's wrong? It's not the first time I've seen my husband. Why are we so surprised? The slight smile at the corners of his mouth was as elegant as a glimmer of light.
Mu Fangjin... Why did you come here... Why did you come at this time...?
