PDLP Chapter 26 Harvest and Request
Chapter 26 Harvest and Request
Instead of following the road, the two went down the mountain forest.
Now that she had met Wu Da, Gan San Niang had sorted out her thoughts—
The murder in the temple was undoubtedly committed by Song Goushan.
The sorcerer on Songgou Mountain was fond of using such framing methods to frame people, destroy their innocence, and force them to Songgou Mountain.
When Gan San Niang first arrived at Songgou Mountain, she had never met him, but she had heard people talk about him.
Many people on Songgou Mountain felt that Wu Xuejiu was exceptionally intelligent and resourceful.
Now that his elder brother Wu Da has betrayed Songgou Mountain, the bandits on the mountain must have discovered his whereabouts.
But they were afraid of their elder brother's abilities and dared not fight him head-on, so they used such a vicious scheme to leave their elder brother with nowhere to live and nowhere to turn.
As Gan San Niang walked, she said, "Brother, you just smashed that wall, but it was all for nothing."
You've stayed in the temple for so long, surely the officials would be able to find out about you by now?
Moreover, that sorcerer must have a backup plan; he'll probably have someone spread your identity.
"If the officials come now and see the temple littered with corpses, but you're missing, what will they think?"
Wu Da said, "I know that too, but how can I feel good if I don't smash that staff?"
What a cunning Song Gou Shan! What a charlatan! He's used those tricks on me!
Girl, you should hurry back to the city, don't get involved with me.
"Songgou Mountain has gone too far! I'm going to storm Songgou Mountain now and use this staff in my hand to give those bastards a good talking to!"
Gan San Niang resolutely said, "Brother, you don't need to worry about my life. I have my own way of protecting myself. I will go with you."
Wu Da glared at him and urged, "What way do you think you can save your life? You're just a weak woman, why are you risking your life? Go away, go away!"
Gan San Niang said, "Then you underestimate me. Brother, I have fully mastered your 'Zhen Yue Chan Gong' and now I have plenty of strength."
As she spoke, she pulled out a baton from her waist and struck a tree with it.
The tree was neither too thick nor too thin, nor was it easily shaken. Yet, with her single blow, the tree shook violently, tilting instantly, and a portion of its roots were pulled out from one side.
Wu Da's eyes widened further as he looked at the staff in Gan San Niang's hand, exclaiming, "What a fine staff! Where did you get it, sister?"
Gan San Niang smiled slightly and said, "So that my brother knows, I haven't gone to the city these days, but to a fairyland."
There was an immortal in that divine realm who protected me and even gave me this fine steel rod.
I can now freely travel to and from that divine realm, and no one can stop me. Therefore, my life is safe. You'll see.
As she spoke, she swayed, took a step, and suddenly disappeared from Wu Da's sight.
Wu Da's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say to the air. He looked around and, confirming that he really couldn't find Gan San Niang, realized that she hadn't used some strange movement technique to hide, but had truly vanished into thin air.
"Good heavens! What kind of magical realm is this? It's incredible!"
Wu Da touched his bald head and exclaimed in surprise.
……
Gan San Niang was slightly surprised to hear no "crackling" sounds of mahjong being played in the courtyard of the guesthouse. She walked back to the guesthouse in one step.
At this time of day, those ladies would usually be playing mahjong with great enthusiasm. Why are they taking a break so early today?
"Immortal Master."
She called out and walked into the lobby, where she saw Luo Zhuang directing several people to tinker with something.
Hearing her call, the men all turned to look at her, and seeing her strange attire, their gazes also turned strange.
She recognized it at a glance; it was a huge television, many times larger than the one in her and Hengyue's room.
Next to the TV was a long white box with a thin black wire sticking out and hanging above it. I don't know what it was for.
"Why are you back so soon after finishing your business?"
Luo Zhuang turned around and saw Gan San Niang, and asked.
As he spoke, he pulled Gan San Niang aside to talk, so that the men who brought the TV wouldn't look at him with increasingly strange eyes.
He held up a strangely shaped white object in his hand and said with a smile, "Thanks for your treasured possession. I sold it at the Immortal Bridge and made quite a bit of money. I bought a TV and a game console to treat myself."
Let's hang out sometime!
Today, taking advantage of the absence of Gan San Niang and Hua Heng Yue, Luo Zhuang took Gan San Niang's most treasured possessions and a piece of silver, and took a taxi to Song Xian Bridge in Qingyang District.
He was a complete novice and knew nothing about the trade. He asked several stalls, and they all said his products were fakes. One stall offered him 500 yuan, another offered him 1,000 yuan, and they all said it was because the fakes were pretty good; otherwise, they wouldn't have given him even 10 yuan.
A bunch of unscrupulous merchants!
Luo Zhuang was very unhappy and naturally refused to sell the goods at a low price.
Later, I inquired at a nearby shop and had it appraised; they gave me their opinion:
"This is indeed a replica, but it should be at least from the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China period, and it is a replica of the bottom of a Song Dynasty dowry."
It's amazing that it's been preserved so well!
There are no works by famous artists here, but the craftsmanship is exquisite and truly excellent. We sincerely want to buy them. How about 50,000? We wouldn't be offering much more than that.
Luo Zhuang thought to himself that this company was somewhat reliable. His prized possession was indeed not a genuine product from the Song Dynasty; he didn't even know which dynasty it came from.
But at least judging by the age and texture of the item, it would never be identified as a product from the Song Dynasty, which is normal.
But he still asked around at several other places and compared them before returning here, where he sold his most treasured possession for 50,000 yuan.
As for the piece of silver, the appraiser at the antique shop looked at it with a strange expression and said, "The silver is real, but I've never seen this reign mark before. Which dynasty is it from?"
Young man, you should sell it to a jewelry store; we can't take it.
Luo Zhuang: "..."
So after running around all day, Luo Zhuang gave away a set of his most treasured possessions and received 50,000 yuan, which he took back in silver.
He had already told the shop that he had another set he had kept hidden away, and he would bring it over to take a look another day.
With 50,000 yuan in his pocket, Luo Zhuang was in high spirits and immediately went to buy a large TV and a game console to reward himself.
As for why he didn't use system coins, he figured it out. The prices in the system shop weren't very friendly, and system coins should be used for more useful things. Buying things that could be bought with money was just too wasteful.
He had only been back for a short time, and was just having someone set up the TV and connect the cables when Gan San Niang arrived.
The woman had just brought him an income of 50,000 yuan. Luo Zhuang felt a sense of familiarity with her and smiled at her with equal warmth.
Gan San Niang shook her head and said, "Immortal Master, I've encountered some matters and have only returned briefly. I must leave immediately."
Thinking of something, she asked Luo Zhuang, "Master, I have an elder brother, as you know. He has been framed and wronged, and I'm afraid he will be wanted by the authorities."
I think... I'd like to inquire on behalf of that brother whether the immortal master's place is suitable for him to stay for a while.
