Chapter 45 Zhang Qiling 44
Chapter 45 Zhang Qiling 44
Qingyue doesn't really want this adopted younger brother anymore; he has absolutely no morals...
"to be honest."
"Well, even though it's a marriage into the family, there's still a bride price and dowry!" Black Glasses said shamelessly.
"so?"
"So, Sister Qing, could you please change Xiaxia's dowry into storage space? She wants to get married in style."
The man with the black glasses fidgeted with his body.
Qingyue smiled and asked, "When do you plan to give me the young official's dowry?"
"My brother-in-law kept the bride price himself; Xiaxia didn't touch it. Of course, he gave it to her himself."
Black Glasses clutched his necklace tightly, treasuring it so much that he would never spit it out.
Hearing this, Zhang Qiling wanted to draw his sword.
Nobody stop him! He's going to kill this shameless bastard!
Qingyue felt utterly exhausted. What a terrible thing she had done! Why had she told the blind man that she could give them offspring, allowing him to attack without restraint?
"When Hua'er sends over Xiaxia's betrothal gifts, give them all to Qingjie. She'll be your sister-in-law from now on, so let's give her something nice."
Black Glasses suggested, feeling that his idea was excellent.
"Young sir, I feel like the blind man's eyes are missing something. Why don't you add something to them?"
As soon as Qing Yue said this, Zhang Qiling was ready to strike, throwing left and right hooks.
"what!"
A scream.
The people walking in front were so frightened that they turned around to look.
The two, one blind and one mute, started fighting. Zhang Qiling was unilaterally beating Black Glasses, who didn't retaliate.
"Everything was fine, so why did they start fighting?" Wu Sansheng couldn't understand.
Xie Yuchen walked back and said that something was missing from his side. It turned out that Black Glasses wasn't chattering beside him.
What is this?
"It's nothing, just looking out for benefits," Qingyue replied with a forced smile.
Looking at her expression, Xie Yuchen knew that Black Glasses had definitely done something bizarre again.
Deserve it.
Wu Xie advised, "Brother, stop fighting, we need to get on our way."
After successfully scratching Black Glasses' face, Zhang Qiling finally let go.
They quickly pulled out new glasses from their pockets and put them on, carrying their black glasses on their backs.
"Wow, you're really ruthless!"
Zhang Qiling glanced at him lightly, and he even thought he had gone too far.
"You've had a tough time, young officer. Beating this thing must have been tiring."
Qingyue felt terrible. Seeing that Zhang Qiling's fingers were a little red, she thought, "This guy with the black glasses is so shameless."
Look at how you've ruined the young official's hands; his fair hands have turned pinkish.
"Nobody cares about me when I'm blind!!!" Black Glasses plopped down on the ground, kicking his legs.
That's not fair, he has dark circles under both eyes.
"Disgraceful wretch." Xi En looked at him with an expression of utter disbelief.
As for how one could discern the snake's dislike from its expression, one can only say that it was far too obvious.
Xie Yuchen walked over to the man in black glasses and helped him up.
"Why did you provoke him?"
Black Glasses pouted, not receiving any sympathy but only scolding, and he felt very wronged.
Qingyue waved her hand: "Alright, I agree to what you just said. A beating in exchange for something is not a bad deal."
Immediately, a big smile spread across the man's face. He wondered if getting punched a few more times by the mute man would earn him more points.
After the three provinces had settled down, they continued on their journey.
Xie Yuchen walked beside Black Glasses and asked, "What is it?"
"Good stuff, you'll see when the time comes. The blind man got those dark circles under his eyes for a good reason."
"Let me see." Xie Yuchen wanted to see the dark circles under his eyes.
"Farewell, Flower Master, now the blind man is old and ugly."
She blocked his outstretched hand with her dark glasses, not wanting him to see her in such an embarrassing state.
"Who cares about beauty or ugliness at a time like this!"
"It'll be fine in a few days," Black Glasses said, refusing to let him examine her.
Xie Yuchen had a stern face, clearly unhappy. He shouldn't have cared about whether Xie Yuchen lived or died.
"Hey, hey, Flower Master~"
Seeing that Flower Master quickened his pace, Black Glasses hurriedly chased after him.
...
“You don’t need to spoil him!” Zhang Qiling’s voice was deep.
Blind people are easily taken advantage of; look, now they even dare to dance on rooftops.
Qingyue smiled gently.
"He only asked for it this once. He wanted to get something good for Xie Yuchen."
The blind man said he had nothing, while Xie Yuchen had many times more money than him. He couldn't offer any money, but he wanted to give Xie Yuchen the best. So, he could only turn to her, since she was now his elder.
Let's just spoil them a little. After all, Xiaxia is so funny and brings them so much joy.
Zhang Qiling thought about it briefly. In the future, Xie Yuchen might be their younger brother and sister-in-law, so he should take care of her more now.
Qingyue: "Besides, the condition for giving it to him is that we have to win her over. If we can win over Fuguihua, our family will have one more person, and the blind man will have someone to keep him company. It's not a loss."
Some things cannot be measured in money, but their value is determined by how people perceive them in the present moment.
If Qingyue thinks it's worth it, then it's worth it.
"That's good." Zhang Qiling's lips twitched.
He also beat up the blind man, so he definitely got his money's worth.
This is the value Zhang Qiling defines. He beat up Black Glasses and didn't even retaliate. He felt incredibly satisfied.
As they walked, the stone cave in front of them had turned into a white membrane-like opening, with traces of scales on the membrane.
Qingyue reached out and touched it; it was a hole formed by the snake's shed skin.
What a huge snake! Judging by its size, it's become quite powerful and won't die easily. If you encounter one, it would be perfect to give it to the minor official as a bodyguard, providing him with extra protection when he goes into tombs in the future.
Light is still shining through, so it's obvious we're no longer underground; we've come up.
"Why is it soft? What is this?" The mop touched it and asked, "Is it a plastic greenhouse?"
After observing for a while, Wu Xie said, "This is a snake's molted skin."
"Snake, snake molt, how can there be such a big snake..." Mop was terrified.
Except for the taller ones with black glasses who had to bend over slightly, the rest of them could now stand upright inside the cave entrance. This gave them an idea of just how big the snake was. It was a shed skin, and the snake had become even thicker. It was impossible to tell how long ago this snake had shed its skin.
Black Glasses: "Today, this blind man has finally seen the light."
Xie Yuchen: "Such a big snake must be a monster. I wonder if it's still in this well."
Wu Sansheng: "Judging from the light, we're almost at the ground."
Because Wu Sansheng said he needed to reorganize and rest, they were all resting in the snake's molt, and Mop dared not.
But he was surrounded by a few small fry, and he dared not rest in the well. Here, Blackie and the others would protect him. He suppressed his fear, tensed his body, and curled himself into a ball.
Qingyue and Zhang Qiling did not enter the snake molt, but instead came out and sat down to rest by the stone in the well.
"Qingqing, what were you thinking about just now?"
Zhang Qiling recalled how her eyes had gleamed after she saw the snake's molted skin, clearly indicating she was plotting something.
"I'm thinking of giving you this snake as a pet, so it will be more convenient for you to go into tombs in the future."
