Chapter 7 Barter
Ten taels of silver?

Su Xiaowu looked at the finger wrench in her hand, and then thought about the 1000 taels of silver note in her bosom.Unlike Xia Sheng who opened his mouth wide in surprise, she didn't think it was expensive at all without the concept of silver.

But the problem is that she was afraid of the shopkeeper's repentance at the pawnshop just now, so she didn't even think of asking the shopkeeper to change the scattered banknotes. She just picked up ten banknotes with a face value of [-] on the counter and left.This is also the real reason why she kept asking the price of the item just now, but didn't buy it.She still understands the principle of not revealing wealth.She doesn't know how Xia Sheng's martial arts are, anyway, he probably can't handle robbery.

"Well, that, big brother, if I exchange things with you, can I have a box? I have a box, and I just valued it at the pawn shop. It is ten taels of silver. Can you see if I can..." Su Xiaowu pursed her lips, nervously asked.She was reluctant to turn around and change the bank note, fearing that if she left, the finger would be bought by someone else, what should she do?
"Oh? Let me have a look." The voice under the bamboo hat was full of interest.

Su Xiaowu took out the empty box, looked at it, and handed it over.

The man in Tsing Yi reached out to take it, looked at it carefully, weighed it in his hand again, and didn't speak for a long time.

Su Xiaowu looked at the man's smooth chin which was not covered under the bamboo hat, and secretly regretted that she had mispronounced the title just now.I don't know if this man will care as much as a woman, and I don't know if this barter will work.She remembered that it was possible to trade like this in the market in ancient times.

"Oh, this box is not worth ten taels of silver!" After a long time, the man in Tsing Yi opened his mouth, raised his head slightly, and looked at Su Xiaowu carefully through the gap of the bamboo hat. "However, little sister, since you like this finger wrench so much, so be it. However, you must keep this finger wrench well!"

Su Xiaowu's face immediately brightened, she nodded and smiled quickly: "Of course, Xiao Wu thank you big brother." After saying that, she stood up and happily walked forward with Xia Sheng.

The man in Tsing Yi lowered his head and looked at the wooden box in his hand, listening to the distant conversation in his ears.

"Sister Xiaowu, why did you bring the finger puller for the head of the Emei sect now?"

"Idiot, of course I carry the finger on my hand. I will ask the master when I go back. Who does this finger belong to?"

"...Come to think of it, Miss Xiaowu, you are my junior sister, I won't call you sister anymore..."

"..."

The sound gradually merged into the noisy background of the market. The man in Tsing Yi put the palm-sized box in his arms, stood up and stretched lazily, and said to himself: "Oh, the sun is so good, Just right for going back to sleep." While speaking, he skillfully rolled up the stall on the ground into a bundle, and Shi Shiran picked it up and flashed into an alley.

After taking two steps, the man in Tsing Yi stopped and sighed softly: "I let you find out."

Suddenly a figure appeared in the originally empty dark alley, wearing a dark red gown with royal blue trim, wearing a gold winged crown, red pendant belts hanging from both sides, curved collar and large sleeves, and a leather belt around the waist, a typical Ouchi Yuqian's first-class bodyguard attire.The visitor's eyebrows were raised, his face was like a crown of jade, and his long black hair was scattered over his shoulders like splashes of ink.At this time, a gust of wind whistled through the dark alley, blowing his clothes loose, and his long black hair fluttering in the wind.

"Tsing Yi Pirate, you can't escape from my palm." The visitor approached slowly, and finally stood calmly and calmly only three steps away from Tsing Yi Pirate, and said proudly, "No matter when you are dressed Tsing Yi, wearing a bamboo hat, even in Tsing Yi when stealing at night, the real face is unknown, the identity is unknown, people give the nickname "Tsing Yi Bandit".

The bandit in Tsing Yi stretched out his hand and pushed back the bamboo hat that was about to be blown off by the wind, and said with some surprise: "Bai Zhan, you were actually sent here? You are a celebrity around the emperor, the Bandit in Tsing Yi is so honored!"

Bai Zhan snorted coldly, his eyes fell on the bag in the other hand of the Tsing Yi thief, and he said coldly: "If it wasn't because you stole the birthday gift that Dali paid tribute to the emperor, Bai Zhan would have come all the way from Tokyo ? Stop talking nonsense, and bring the finger wrench first, so as not to get hurt when I catch you later."

The thief in Tsing Yi cooperatively spread out the burden, scattered the contents on the ground, and said leisurely: "What are you talking about? All the things I stole are here. Alas, these are all broken things. They are set up on the street. No one wants to sell it at a low price. Give it back to you!"

Bai Zhan glanced over, frowned slightly, and said, "Not here? How is it possible? The lost property reported by the special envoy of Dali clearly has this Yunxiang finger."

The bandit in Tsing Yi chuckled, leaned against the wall relaxedly, crossed his arms and said, "He must have swallowed it for himself. In this way, there is a lot of history behind this finger pull, and it can make you so nervous."

Bai Zhan ignored his words, fixed his eyes on the blue-clothed bandit's arms, which seemed to be concealed on purpose, and said coldly, "What's in your arms?"

The thief in Tsing Yi hurriedly spread his hands, and said helplessly: "It's just a token of love given to me by a beautiful woman, and you want to grab it too?" Then he took out Su Xiaowu's box just now, and shook it, no A voice, indicating that there is nothing inside.

Bai Zhan raised his eyebrows, stopped him from opening it, and signaled him to throw it over to him.

The thief in Tsing Yi exaggeratedly shouted: "No way, Boss Bai, you want to grab the token of love too? What if you take it and don't return it to me?"

Bai Zhan's expression remained unchanged, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly in contempt, and he said, "Don't judge a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, I will do what I say, as long as there is no wrench I want in it, then I want this box What's the use?"

The bandit in Tsing Yi was silent for a while, then suddenly moved his wrist, "Okay, then I'll show you." With his free and easy laughter, the palm-sized wooden box drew a graceful arc in the air, and flew straight towards Bai Zhan .

Bai Zhan didn't dare to be careless and went directly to catch it with his hands. The Juque sword on his waist was out of its sheath, and he directly used the sword body in front of him to defuse the castration of the box, and then directly used his internal force to stick to the box, crossed the Juque sword, and moved smoothly. Let it lie flat on the sword quietly.

Frowning slightly, Bai Zhan said unexpectedly softly: "This weight doesn't seem to be made of wood." He put the box on the ground lightly, and lifted the lid of the box with the tip of his sword as if facing an enemy.

With a sound of "snap", the wooden box opened in response, Bai Zhan looked intently, but the inside was empty.

"Oh, don't break it! Be careful!" Watching Bai Zhan use the tip of his sword up and down to check the wooden box that couldn't hide anything, Tsing Yi said worriedly, but unfortunately he still Leisurely's movements of leaning against the wall did not show that he was really nervous at all.

Bai Zhan snorted coldly, raised his hand and picked the wooden box from the ground to Tsing Yi Thief, who took it with one hand, closed the lid of the box, and put it back into his bosom.

"Hehe, then I'm leaving. I'll return all the lost items to you. There will be a period later..." The bandit in Tsing Yi said with a smile on his toes, just wanting to walk backwards and leave lightly.

Before he finished speaking, he felt a cold light flash in front of his eyes, and saw Bai Zhan's Juque sword on the opposite side was out of its sheath, coming straight towards him.
