Chapter 13
Bo Xi's footsteps stepped on the ground very softly, and the sound of his footsteps was very small, but the sound made everyone lying on the side tremble in shock, and suddenly someone coughed outside the door.

"cough."

Bo Xi immediately turned around to perform the salute, his nose was blocked by a dusty cloth, and he couldn't see his mouth moving, but he didn't make a sound, and when he was caught beating someone, he didn't even call out to his master.

Zhao Nan said: "Have you played enough?"

Bo Xi didn't say a word, put down his hand and stood upright, no matter how you look at it, he was honest and harmless, with his legs touching his legs and his arms sticking to his side.But Shang Judong, who was squinting furtively on the ground, was about to piss in fright: "Which one is here?"There is no end!The young master is about to cry.

Zhao Nan took a look at the shipyard that had suffered a terrible disaster, and reminded his apprentice: "What did you forget?"

Bo Xi raised his hand to touch his lapel, without saying a word.

No one was killed, but the master couldn't afford to pay for other losses, so he raised his brows and called his big disciple: "Let's go." Hurry up when these people didn't react.

Boxi followed, his eyes were empty, the same as when he came.

It took a long time for everyone in the merchant's dock to feel the cold on the ground, you help me, I help you stand up, and hurriedly lifted Shangjudong into the chair, the young master's legs were so weak that he couldn't stand upright at all.

During the chaos, a piece of loose wood suddenly fell from the roof and hit the ground with a "bang". Shang Judong rolled his eyes and became dizzy. There was a space around him in an instant. Some of the guys hid in the corner, and some After rushing to the debris pile, they all became frightened birds, lest the faceless boy would turn back again, and Shang Judong would hit the ground with a "boom" without anyone to help him.

Yan Xiaotang was still waiting. There were more and more people gathering to watch the fun, but fewer and fewer people were waiting.In the end, she could only admit that she was mistaken. The bully sometimes underestimated the other party's courage and overestimated the other party's courage. In the end, she was a coward and didn't dare to come back once she left.

Even the dogs were listlessly waiting, so she had no choice but to stand up, move her numb hands and feet, and drive the dog cart to find a place to sell it.

She didn't just look for a place to sell dogs. The sea people don't raise so many dogs, but they would buy them and kill them for food, so she ignored those who swallowed their saliva and asked for the price.

Finally, I found a family of mountain people who were going back to their hometown the next day. The mountain people loved dogs very much. They needed dogs for hunting, dogs for housekeeping, and dogs for pulling carts in winter. They would never kill dogs for meat. That's it for sale.

Twelve dogs sold for half a penny.

Don't underestimate the half penny, no matter how good the broken jade is, it still needs to be made into earrings or beads. This process of processing and polishing requires a lot of money, so broken jade is worthless, but the half penny is different Well, a full meat meal in a tavern is only thirty or forty Wen, and half a penny is 620 San Wen, which is enough to stay in an inn in Qingyi for a few days.

When Zhaolai did not open Haishi, she was so poor that Yan Xiaotang reckoned that she could rent a big house for one to two months.

For such a long period of time, those with broken arms and legs can almost get better, and Zhao Nan doesn't seem to be at the point of broken arms and legs, so it should be enough.

When the few of them get better, the magic trick is used, and the pot cake... what is that?
Yan Xiaotang almost vomited from eating pot cakes, they were tasteless, not even a few grains of salt, they were thick enough to sharpen a knife, even soaking them would not improve the taste.But she knew that it was even more unbearable for the master and senior brothers, they could bear it, so naturally she could.

"We endure hardships with a purpose. Hardships are not for nothing." Yan Xiaotang comforted herself.

Go back to the muddy stall to pick up the master and brothers, and then start to climb towards Zhaolai in the rift.

I once heard that there is a heavenly ladder on Mount Lutai, with [-] steps, and only those who can find the heavenly ladder can go to the mountain gate of the Taiwei Immortal Sect.

Yan Xiaotang didn't know if there really was a ladder, she couldn't find it, but what she was crawling under her feet was just like the ladder, endless.

Seeing the flag of "Housing for rent and sale" hanging on it, there are only three or four stone stairs at most to get there, but it turned out that after climbing three or four, there were three or four more steps, not far above the head. The stone ladder in the middle of the room should lead to the door of the shop. Climb up and look, and the stone ladder turns from a pile of baskets containing dried snail shells to another direction.

There is nothing so unreasonable about being elusive.

When they reached the three-foot flat ground in front of the shop, Yan Xiaotang didn't even have the strength to curse people. She took a breath together with her master and brothers, and when she turned around, a group of seagulls the size of grains of sand were flying far away in the huge rift valley, pouring into it from the east. The wind in the rift valley gave a hollow echo, and the angry Junjiang smashed to pieces at the bottom of the valley far below him, gathering his anger and crashing into the next layer of white rock again, causing countless fierce water splashes, and the houses on both sides were small and flimsy , seems to be swept into the white waves at any time, and is rushed into the sea in one go.

Zhao Nan also felt a little bit emotional, such poor mountains and rivers can actually gather 10,000+ people in a city, humble and tenacious.

"Master, this is too..." Too much, Yue Chu didn't say anything, and the contempt for mortals in his heart was severely shaken.

Yan Xiaotang looked hopefully at Bo Xi, and saw that Bo Xi was standing quietly outside the shop with his eyes blank, waiting for them to go in together, seemingly unmoved by the precipitous and magnificent rift in front of him.

Is there no feeling at all?Yan Xiaotang suddenly remembered that when he first saw him, the rootless and bottomless world he was in was vast and far-reaching, and it was indeed far inferior to what he was seeing. Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder he was indifferent.

It's just that the rootless and bottomless, where is it?
She walked into the shop first, Zhao Nan followed, and when she walked past Bo Xi, the master said in a low voice: "It takes three days to recover once a talisman is carved, so don't be rash."

"Yes."

After the moon rose, they tilted their heads to look, and they didn't say much.

After a while, Yan Xiaotang came out of the shop with a happy face. Five hundred Wen can rent a big house for half a year!She knew that things in Zhaolai were not as expensive as in Qingyi. After all, Qingyi was the capital of King Yong, and other cities couldn't compare, but she didn't expect that the gap was so big. She could only spend a few days in an inn in Qingyi. Rent a big house, or half a year.

Because the stone steps are not easy to climb, it is not feasible to look at the house in advance. Anyway, the store clerk assured that it is a big room. Recently, Yan Xiaotang, who can't even live in a complete roof, is already very satisfied.

After getting the lease contract and the big iron-headed key, they followed the buddy and continued to climb up, making seven turns, climbing higher and higher, the white rock cliff became steeper, and the houses beside the stone steps became rarer and rarer. Not so good.

But Yan Xiaotang was even more satisfied. Although she had to hide among ordinary people, she didn't need to sleep in a crowd. It's good to be out of the way!Master doesn't have to hide when he wants to do something.

After walking for a while, the stone steps suddenly became bright. If it is not bright, there is only Baiyan on the right hand side where no grass can grow. On the left side, there is nothing but wind. Can't it fall into the water?
Yan Xiaotang didn't care, neither did Zhao Nan and Boxi Yuechu, the only one who walked carefully was the guy who led the way.

At the end of the stone steps, half of the wooden boat was stuck upside down under a rock more than ten feet high. It could be seen that there was a door at the bottom where the ship's side should have been.

Yan Xiaotang came up with a thought: "Couldn't this half broken boat be a big rented house?"

Big is big enough, if it is complete, such a big boat is not too small to be placed on the sea, it is as high as an ordinary two-story building, and as big as the stables of the General's Mansion.

Moonrise exclaimed from behind: "How did you get this up?"

Hearing this, the man introduced him and said, "This ship has been here for a long time. It is said that when Nagiburo's spear tip broke the land, it was originally at sea and was thrown here by the waves."

Zhao Nan was also surprised: "3000 years?"

The man held on to the stone, not daring to look back, and said with a smile, "How can it really be possible? I guess it's made of boards one by one." It's the same as other houses.

This is possible, everyone's complexion recovered, Yan Xiaotang was a little annoyed: "Okay, how many years of dilapidated building do you dare to rent out for money?"

But I have come here, at least take a look.

When the big iron-tipped key opened the door nailed with two wide planks, gray smoke gushed out from inside, and it took a while to disperse.

When I went in, I found that it was much stronger than expected. The wood wouldn't sink even if a few people stepped on it. It just creaked a few times at most, and a thick layer of dust stained everything inside it gray.

There is a broken fishing net several feet wide hanging on the mast that protruded from the deck in the past and the floor in the present. There is no half silk in the spider web.

Yan Xiaotang sneered: "Isn't this the first time you have rented out this house?"

The clerk also smiled: "Little guest officer, don't dislike it. The flag outside our store has been hanging for five years, and you are the only one who rents it. You are not from Zhaolai Mansion, are you? People in Zhaolai don't know how to rent a house. They sleep when they don't have a house." Go to the boat, if you have a boat, you don’t have to live there, and you want to rent a house, or a big one, that’s all.”

Seeing the disdainful look on the guy's face, he really doesn't care whether the business is successful or not, and it is unlikely that he will tell lies.

Yan Xiaotang asked again: "What about the house for sale?"

The clerk said, "You want to buy? I have always paid for it." This is the only place I dare to feel, even renting and selling it.

Yan Xiaotang lost her temper, and the people's sentiments were such that she had no choice but to obey.

"Master, is this okay?"

Zhao Nan scanned the entire space, nodded and said: "It can shelter from the wind and rain, not bad."

Well, even the master agreed, Yan Xiaotang chased the clerk away, but the clerk stood at the door and put his hand in front of her.

Yan Xiaotang really wanted to spit on the palm of his hand, and shouted: "Do you know who the young master is? How dare you ask me for money!?"

But in front of the master who is like a painter, and in front of Master Excalibur, she must make a good impression on them, so she reluctantly took out a penny and threw it into the hands of the clerk.

The man snorted disdainfully, turned around and went out of the house, pressed the hat on his head for fear of being blown away by the wind, and walked away tremblingly.
