Worship tomorrow

Chapter 96 Gold? Iron!
  Attic on the fifth floor.

In front of the window, the sun is shining brightly.

The beautiful woman, wearing a large coat that could not hide her graceful figure and noble temperament, was sitting at the table, reading a book quietly.

The sun shone on her body, coating her with a golden glow, adding a bit of mystery to her.

On the table, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are already prepared.

Luo Qingfeng went upstairs, took a look from a distance, and then walked over.

This time, the woman in front of him did not ask him to kneel down, but said: "Sit down."

Luo Qingfeng was a little surprised.

But he didn't think much and immediately sat down next to her.

The woman didn't say anything anymore. She stretched out her slender hand and gently pushed a book to him. Then she took the initiative to pick up the ink stick and began to study the ink on her own.

Luo Qingfeng couldn't help but glance at her and thought to himself: Senior Bai seems a little strange today.

He didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he opened the book and read it carefully.

Another travelogue.

From these travel notes, we can learn a lot about the relationship between demons and humans.

Luo Qingfeng was happy to help translate.

He spread out the clean rice paper, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and prepared to start writing.

But suddenly, he stopped again.

Bai Ruofei lowered her head to study the ink, and seemed to notice his movements, so she said, "Why don't you write anymore?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and said, "Senior Bai, what you said yesterday still count?"

Bai Ruofei continued to study the ink and said calmly: "Nature counts."

Luo Qingfeng took one more look at her expression, and then felt relieved. He immediately became full of motivation and started writing.

One person studies ink, and the other reads and writes.

In the room, the heating was flowing, the smoke was curling up, and it was quiet.

Outside the window, the sun gradually sets west from the sky.

Soon, it was evening.

Luo Qingfeng put down the pen, rubbed his sore wrist, turned to look at the sky outside the window, and said, "Senior Bai, that's it for today. There's still half a book left. I'll write it tomorrow."

Bai Ruofei didn't say anything, nodded slightly, and put down the ink stick.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her, coughed, and said: "Senior Bai, it's time for me to go back, um..."

Bai Ruofei turned her head, looked at him and said, "What is that?"

Luo Qingfeng said: "Um...you haven't forgotten the gold you mentioned yesterday, right?"

Bai Ruofei looked at him with cold eyes: "Gold? What gold?"

Luo Qingfeng's expression suddenly changed.

Bai Ruofei stared at the expression on his face for a while, then she stretched out her slender hand, spread her palm, and said, "Is this it?"

In her snow-white palm, there was a piece of golden gold.

Luo Qingfeng suddenly smiled and said: "Yes."

Saying that, reach for it.

However, Bai Ruofei suddenly closed her palms and held the gold in her palms again.

The two people's hands immediately held each other's hands.

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then quickly let go and said: "Senior Bai, you..."

Bai Ruofei frowned slightly and said, "You touched my hand."

Luo Qingfeng apologized quickly: "I'm sorry..."

Bai Ruofei said expressionlessly: "What's the use of apologizing? If you touch it, you'll touch it. This piece of gold will be treated as your apology to me."

Luo Qingfeng's expression changed, and he stood up and said, "Senior Bai, how can you not keep your word? I have already written it for you. You said you would give me gold."

Bai Ruofei said calmly: "You said before that you would come to me every night, have you come?"

Luo Qingfeng was startled and said, "Did this junior say that?"

Bai Ruofei said: "Then I never said I would give you gold."

The two looked at each other.

Luo Qingfeng was angry, this woman was so unreasonable! She has such big breasts and is so beautiful, how could she...

"Forget it, I won't come tomorrow."

He felt there was no need to argue anymore, so he said coldly and left.

Bai Ruofei put the gold on the table and said, "Can't you take a joke?"

Luo Qingfeng was stunned, stopped, and turned to look at her.

No matter how you look at it, this woman doesn't look like she can joke.

But that nugget of gold is already on the table.

He didn't hesitate, went over immediately, grabbed it in his hand, and felt relieved when he saw that she didn't make any move.

"Senior Bai, it's the fault of this junior. I apologize to you."

After receiving the gold, his attitude immediately changed and he became extremely respectful.

Bai Ruofei glanced at him indifferently, then lowered her head, looked at the words he had transcribed, and ignored him.

Luo Qingfeng didn't want to stay any longer and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Luo Qingfeng went downstairs briskly and saw Granny Ning closing her eyes to rest, so she left quickly without disturbing her.

After he walked down the steps, Granny Ning slowly opened her eyes, thought for a while, stood up, closed the door, and locked it.

Luo Qingfeng left the Demon Suppressing Academy and went directly to Hongye Alley.

He originally wanted to buy some candied haws, roast goose and other good things to bring to Ah Ya and grandma, but except for the piece of gold, he had no other change.

There are twelve weights of gold, which cannot be exchanged in ordinary shops.

Besides, he also wanted Ah Ya to see this piece of gold. After all, that stupid little girl didn't even know the gold and let him pick it up.

He took her gold, gave her more gold, and also paid back the money he owed to Sister Nightingale.

Now, I am finally debt-free!
  Luo Qingfeng was in a happy mood and quickly came to the door of the small courtyard and raised his hand to knock on the door.

But after knocking for a long time, no one opened the door.

"Hey, aren't you at home?"

Luo Qingfeng stood at the door, a little confused.

At this time, where can Aya and grandma go? Did you go shopping for groceries?

Just when he was wondering, he suddenly heard grandma's voice coming from inside: "Ah Ya, why don't you open the door?"

Um? at home!

Luo Qingfeng quickly raised his hand and knocked on the door again.

However, no one came to open the door.

Grandma seemed to be coming to open the door, but Ah Ya stopped her.

Luo Qingfeng knocked a few more times, but when he saw that no one came to open the door, he felt confused and immediately stepped back, jumped over the wall, and jumped over the wall.

In the small courtyard, Ah Ya was standing there blankly.

The old man was standing in the corridor. He was startled when he saw someone suddenly jumping over the wall. When he saw it was him, he was stunned and said in surprise: "A Feng, is it you? You...how did you jump over the wall and come in?"

Luo Qingfeng was a little embarrassed and said, "I've been knocking on the door for a long time, why doesn't Ah Ya open the door for me?"

Ah Ya turned her back to him and ignored him.

Seeing this, the old man quickly said: "I'm still boiling water in the house. You guys talk, you guys talk."

After saying that, he entered the house and closed the door.

Luo Qingfeng walked up to Ah Ya, looked at her with confusion and said, "What's wrong? Who made you angry?" Ah Ya glanced at him, with a cold face and said nothing.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Luo Qingfeng did not dare to delay any longer. He took out the piece of gold and handed it to her, saying, "Aya, look, what is this? Do you still recognize it?"

Ah Ya glanced at it and lowered his head.

"Gold! Is it bigger than your piece?"

Luo Qingfeng stuffed the gold into her little hand and said, "This piece of gold is worth ten taels, which is enough to pay you back."

Then he said a little embarrassedly: "Well, I don't even have a penny on me. Can you give me a piece of silver? Just a few taels."

It is reasonable to ask her to find a few taels of silver to pay off the debt with ten taels of gold, right?

Ah Ya glanced at the gold in his hand, then looked up at him, then suddenly turned around, ran into the kitchen, and closed the door from the inside with a bang, not wanting to see him again.

Luo Qingfeng was stunned and said: "What?"

Then he said: "Forget it, I won't ask you for any more money. Anyway, I still have gold tomorrow. I'll come over tomorrow and buy you candied haws and a big roast goose, okay?"

In the kitchen, no one responded.

Seeing that the sun had gone down, Luo Qingfeng didn't dare to delay any longer and said, "I'll come back tomorrow night."

After saying that, he didn't stay any longer, went over to open the courtyard door, and walked out.

"What a strange little girl."

"I don't know how many medicinal materials are needed to treat her condition. The golden lotus under the Buddha's foot last time probably wasn't enough."

"The little girl can't speak, it's really pitiful."

Luo Qingfeng was thinking as he walked out of the small courtyard.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the alley, he suddenly heard the sound of a strong wind whistling behind him. He turned around and saw Ah Ya, dressed in a black dress, running over like lightning, holding the hand he had just given her. That nugget of gold.

Luo Qingfeng thought she didn't want it, so he quickly said: "This is to repay you. The money I gave you at the Great Buddha Temple last time should indeed be given to you. You are welcome, I can still earn a lot of gold in the future..."

Ah Ya stopped in front of him, handed the gold to him, and shook his head vigorously.

Luo Qingfeng said: "You can accept it. If you feel bad about it, just give me a piece of silver."

Ah Ya continued to shake his head. Seeing that he didn't understand, he immediately put the piece of gold in his small mouth, bit hard, and handed it to him again.

Luo Qingfeng took a confused look and found that the place where she bit the gold did not dent, but revealed something dark inside.

"WTF???"

Luo Qingfeng was shocked and quickly took it over, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

This bite almost broke his big teeth.

When I looked down, I saw that not only was there no dent in the gold, but the paint was peeling off, revealing something dark inside.

His complexion suddenly changed.

How can it be?

He immediately took out his Demon Slayer Blade, then placed the gold in his hand on the ground and said, "Aya, step back."

Ah Ya took a step back.

Luo Qingfeng raised the broken knife in his hand and slashed hard at Jin Zi.

Star power surged and the sword light flashed.

"Zheng-"

Sparks flew everywhere, and there was a sound of metal clashing.

Finished!

Hearing this voice, Luo Qingfeng's heart suddenly thumped and sank into the bottomless abyss.

The gold was chopped into two halves.

He hurriedly bent down to pick it up and took a closer look - iron! It turned out to be a big lump of iron!

Even the yellow skin on the outside is not gold skin!
  He was stunned and in disbelief.

Ah Ya looked at him from the side, with a smile secretly showing on his lips.

This was probably the first time she showed a smile and such a happy expression in front of anyone other than her sister and grandma.

Luo Qingfeng held two pieces of iron thallium blankly, and suddenly ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart.

iron?
  How could it be iron?
  If other vendors on the street lied to him like this, it would be natural and acceptable.

But how could it be her?
  Senior Bai from the dignified library, such a beautiful and noble woman, who may also be the descendant of a great demon, how could she be a liar?

He was shocked and disbelieving.

Do not!
  How could a big shot like Senior Bai be a liar?
  Such a big shot, probably like Dumb Crow, has never seen gold, so he must have been deceived!
  It must be so!

Thinking of this, he immediately calmed down, put away the demon-killing blade and two pieces of iron thallium, and said to the girl next to him: "Ah Ya, don't worry, I must have picked up the wrong one. You wait for me, I'll be there later." Just come back. This fake gold was given to me by someone else. I think she was also cheated. I will go find her and ask. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back."

After saying that, he immediately walked out of the alley and headed towards the Demon Suppressing Academy.

Poor Senior Bai was also deceived.

I don’t know who is so bold as to dare to lie to Senior Bai and give her fake gold. It is estimated that Granny Ning will have her teeth broken and her head twisted off.

Nothing.

It is impossible for a big shot like Senior Bai to rely on his gold. If Senior Bai knew that this piece of gold was fake, he would definitely be very embarrassed, and then give him a piece of real gold, and maybe he would be compensated more. One piece, and maybe just give him Xuanjin directly.

With this thought in mind, he quickly entered the North Courtyard.

However, when he came to the library, he suddenly found that the door to the attic was closed.

There is a note on the door that says: I have to go out for something, and I will come back tomorrow.

Luo Qingfeng suddenly complained secretly.

It's over, I have to break my trust with that little girl Ah Ya again.

If he didn't get the gold, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

Hey……

After staying at the door in despair for a while, he sighed and had to leave first.

Forget it, come back tomorrow.

Don't worry, he will come to help Senior Bai translate the travel book tomorrow. Senior Bai will definitely come back, and he will definitely not lose his gold.

Thinking like this, he felt a little relieved and left quickly.

After he walked away, two heads appeared in front of a window in the attic of the library.

"Miss, is it too much..."

"That kid looks...a little pitiful..."

"Actually, there's nothing to be pitiful about. He soiled the lady's hands, and he had the audacity to sit with her. To give him a piece of iron is already a sign of mercy from the lady."

"What? That boy actually touched the lady's noble and slender hand? Damn it! Where did he touch it? How long did he touch it? Is there anything dirty on it? Damn it, I'll cut him!"

"Oh, did you touch it with your hands? Humph, you are so brave! When he comes tomorrow, give him another bag of fake silver! Make him cry!"

The sun sets and night falls.

Luo Qingfeng returned to Hongye Alley with a frown on his face.

Ah Ya was standing alone in the dark alley, waiting for him obediently.

Luo Qingfeng looked at this dumb little girl, feeling very guilty, and said: "Ah Ya, I...I didn't get it. That person went out for something and will not come back until tomorrow. But don't worry, I will definitely get it tomorrow. When the time comes, I’ll buy you some candied haws, five skewers!”

Ah Ya looked at him quietly for a while, then stretched out her little hand, which held a piece of silver, and handed it to him.

Luo Qingfeng was stunned, looking at the silver in her hand for a while, and suddenly felt a little sour in her heart.

"Ah Ya...thank you..."

"I……"

Ah Ya blinked her dark and pure eyes, stuffed the silver into his belt, then stepped back a few steps and waved her little hand at him.

Then he turned around and left briskly.

Luo Qingfeng stared blankly at the dark alley in front of her, and seemed to vaguely see this little girl who couldn't speak, suddenly jumping up and down.
