Chapter 182 Bronze hairpin

The girl has always kept not understanding. From her movements, it can be seen that she is concentrating on something on the booth, but what worries me is that the booth is full of pieces and pieces of decorative gadgets. If she doesn't say, it is impossible for me to know which one she wants.

In Xuecheng, this kind of decorative small thing is actually not very popular. Only a small number of apprentices in the new city will buy it, and the money in the apprentices is very limited, so these small things are generally sold cheaply. I haven't been to the old city, but I can also speculate that the price of these things must be low. I know that the girl will leave Xuecheng tomorrow morning, so I hope that I can buy a souvenir for her in Xuecheng and let her return to her hometown, and occasionally think of me, a hairy boy in a gray cloth apprentice robe.

"Which one do you like?" I couldn't help asking.

The girl didn't answer, I guess she didn't dare. After all, the ferryman hid her under the cloak, and the atmosphere here was so depressing that the little girl was scared. But this is just the stall of the small vendors in the old city, and her status as an apprentice in the old city is as respected as mine. In fact, it is completely unnecessary to hide under the cloak. I took this analysis as I should.

"It doesn't matter. It's safe." I lowered my voice and almost lay in her ear and said. I tried my best to control it when I spoke so as not to let the heat from my mouth spray on her body. You can say which thing you want. I have some money on me and I can buy it for you.

"Is it really okay?" The girl's voice was so small that she didn't raise her head, and the voice came from the cloak, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Just say that you like this stall, and I can also buy it for you." This is the first time in my life that I have shown myself in front of a girl. I must be very bold. Speaking of it, I also have a little regret. Although the unit price of the things in this booth is low, the quantity is too much. If the girls really want them, I'm afraid it's really difficult for me to fight. What's more, I have to find a way to buy her a camel and food and water to cross the desert tomorrow morning. Other than that, water is indeed very expensive here.

If you say it, it's like water spilled in the desert and can't be recovered. I can only keep meditate in my heart, hoping that the girl didn't take what I said seriously.

She hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her arm from her cloak, gently pointed to a bronze hairpin with her jade-like fingers, and then whispered, "I want this."

This made my heart suddenly fall to the ground. Bronze products are the cheapest thing in the school city. It is estimated that half a piece of cake can be exchanged for such a thing. In addition to being lucky, I feel a little unbearable. Is it too much for a girl to choose such a cheap thing to worry about my feelings? If she doesn't like this souvenir, she seems to lose its significance.

"Don't ask for anything else?" I asked enlighteningly. I hope she can choose the bone carving brand that can't be seen as a giant beast, or the wool blanket with exquisite needlework. From my point of view, these two things can best represent the city of learning: the spirit of adventure and the memory of excellence.

The girl did not perfunctorily, but continued to stop in front of the booth for a moment, looking at everything again. Then she took her hat off the head mountain and said firmly, "I just need that hairpin."

The businessman's daughter prefers bargains. What's going on? Anyway, she saved money. I prepared a stronger camel for her and bought more dry food and water as compensation. I comforted myself like this.

"How much is this hairpin?" I picked up what the girl was looking at directly with my hand and asked the vendor.

"Master apprentice, this hairpin sells half a golden bean." The vendor lowered his eyebrows and said the price that shocked me a little.

This is much more expensive than my estimated price. Half a golden bean can buy a camel in the new city, but only a bronze hairpin can be bought here. But the girl was next to me. I didn't show any uneasiness, but continued, "It's a little too expensive. It's just bronze. It's the cheapest thing for us."

"Master apprentice." The vendor smiled and said, "You may be talking about the new city. The bachelor in the new city can refine any metal. This bronze is naturally the worst thing, but there is no omnipotent bachelor in the old city. Everything has to rely on the most primitive method, so the price is slightly higher. However, apprentice, I heard that even if you are an apprentice who has just entered the school, there will be a subsidy of three golden beans every month. This money is absolutely small for you. Seeing that the girl next to you likes it so much, I don't think half of the golden beans are wronged. The vendor easily convinced me that what he said was much deeper than the teacher's. Indeed, I originally wanted to buy a happy thing for the girl. Since she likes it, what can do with that half of the golden bean? It's much better than buying the whole stall.

What's more, I have five golden beans in my monthly subsidy. I usually use very little money and have saved a lot. I have seven on my body now. In fact, gold is very common in Xuecheng. It is said that there are some alchemy bachelors who can extract gold from other things. In the future, we will also learn the course of alchemy. Of course, that is quite a long future.

I reached into my pocket and touched it roughly. I carried seven golden beans on my body, which should be enough. So I took out one and handed it to the vendor. This is Jindou, here you are."

"The apprentice is straightforward." The apprentice happily took the golden bean and asked the girl, "Girl, do you need to wrap the hairpin?"

"No, I have a pocket on my body. Besides, such a beautiful hairpin... How can it be wrapped? I want to wear it now." The girl picked up the hairpin directly from the booth and said to me, "Can you plug it in for me? I can't see it without a mirror."

How can I do this? How can a hairy boy who has never really touched a girl's hair play with her hair? I shook my head instinctively. I...I won't." As an apprentice, I seldom say the word "no", because the teacher said that knowledge is omnipotent. Never say "no", you just need to understand and learn slowly.

"Do you have a mirror?" The girl asked the vendor directly. Her nervousness from entering the old city was slowly fading, replaced by a strange excitement.

"Yes, girl, I have everything." The vendor rubbed his hands and took out a bronze mirror from the cloth pocket next to him. One side of the mirror was grape pattern and the other side was extremely smooth.

The girl took the mirror from the vendor and said to him, "This is not to buy, this is to borrow. I'll return it to you after using it. I made it clear in advance.

"I know. I don't dare to provoke the apprentice." The vendors nodded repeatedly.

After the girl took the mirror, she stuffed it directly into my hand. She said, "Help me lift it. I can't do it myself."

I can only say "Oh" gently and raise the mirror to her. The mirror happened to be between me and her, which made me unable to see her face. I could only see her hands fiddling up and down, and then her body was constantly twisting back and forth, as if to make a suitable posture in the mirror.

I rarely look in the mirror. I think the world in the mirror is terrible, and everything is the opposite of reality. So is omnipotent knowledge in the real world still omnipotent in the mirror world? At that time, I often had these inexplicable and wanton thoughts, which made my youth full of the wings of the seahorse with the smell of sand.
