The tadpole finally stayed with Kong Xiaoxiao.

The fields of his family were managed by the village chief's family, and the grain was also collected by the village chief's family.

If I have a chance to go back in the future...

Maybe there is no chance...

Tadpole looked at the village chief and Gangzi's backs getting farther and farther away, and couldn't help crying.

Kong Xiaoxiao did not comfort him. The child was feeling sad and needed a chance to vent.

From now on, say goodbye to the past...

A quarter of an hour later, Kong Xiaoxiao saw that it was almost time and patted the sobbing tadpole.

"Are you done crying? If you are, come with me for a stroll."

Although Tadpole was only five years old, he knew how to be shy. He wiped his tears, lowered his head, and whispered back, "I, I'm fine."

Kong Xiaoxiao: "From now on you will be my apprentice. You also have a senior brother. When I finish my business, I will take you to see him."

When Tadpole heard that there was a senior brother, he grinned and snot bubbles came out. It was great that his senior brother and master were also family. He would have a family from now on.

Kong Xiaoxiao first took him to the cloth shop: "Boss, pick out two sets of thin clothes and two sets of thick clothes for my apprentice, plus two pairs of shoes."

Tadpole entered the cloth shop and was a little nervous when he saw that the cloth shop was full of cloth he had never worn before.

He could only follow Kong Xiaoxiao closely. He wanted to reach out and grab the corner of his master's clothes, but he was afraid that the master would say he was timid. In the end, he could only grab the corners of his clothes on both sides to calm his nervousness.

The shopkeeper recognized Kong Xiaoxiao as the master praised by the county magistrate. He smiled and bowed to Kong Xiaoxiao: "You are Master Kong, right? I am sorry for not coming to meet you in person. I hope you will forgive me."

Kong Xiaoxiao also smiled back: "You are too polite, boss. I will leave my apprentice to you."

The shopkeeper looked down at Tadpole, a short man in torn clothes, then looked at the master. The words came to his lips, but he held them back.

Then someone prepared some snacks and fruit plates for the master and placed them on the table so that she could pass the time.

Kong Xiaoxiao also sat aside and waited with peace of mind.

Seeing that Tadpole was a little timid and reserved, the shopkeeper spoke as gently as possible: "Come, young master, let me measure your size first."

After measuring his height and other conditions, she showed the selected clothes to Kong Xiaoxiao, who then bought all of them.

"Just wear what you have on and pack up the rest."

The tadpole held the new clothes, and happiness was visible in his eyes.

Kong Xiaoxiao felt very satisfied seeing him like this.

This is what a little kid should look like.

Then he took the tadpole for a walk around the city.

As they strolled around, the tadpole gradually became bolder. Apart from following Kong Xiaoxiao closely all the way, he could now secretly look here and there.

I could smell the aroma of noodles from a distance, and it was already noon.

Kong Xiaoxiao took Tadpole to the noodle stall and ordered a small portion, a medium portion, and a poached egg for each of them.

"If it's not enough, tell the master again, got it?"

The tadpole nodded obediently.

Some of them couldn't wait to hold the bowl with both hands, bury their heads in the bowl and inhale the aroma of the noodles with their noses, and their saliva flowed down involuntarily.

Then he wiped his saliva, looked up at Kong Xiaoxiao and said with a silly smile: "Master, it smells so good. Tadpole has never eaten anything so delicious."

Kong Xiaoxiao smiled dotingly: "Eat it."

The master and the disciple looked at each other and smiled as they finished their noodles, then burped at the same time.

"Hiccup..."

"Hiccup..."

The tadpole covered his mouth, glanced at his master secretly, and smiled embarrassedly.

After eating and drinking, thinking that Tadpole had not yet been enlightened, he took him straight to the bookstore.

"Boss, please pick out two enlightenment books for me, and some writing brushes, inkstones, and paper for me."

"Good Le"

"Girl, the enlightenment books I gave you are a Three Character Classic and a Thousand Character Classic. Do you think that's okay?"

The shopkeeper brought two books over for Kong Xiaoxiao to look at.

"Get another copy of Hundred Family Names."

Kong Xiaoxiao thought that for enlightenment, these three books should be enough.

Only after you have a solid foundation in literacy and writing can you learn other books.

The tadpole's eyes lit up when he saw the book.

He had heard people in the village say that people who can read are the most powerful.

He also said that all those who study are boys.

His teacher is a girl, but she can actually read, so amazing! !

The tadpole looked at Kong Xiaoxiao with sparkling eyes.

At this moment, Tadpole didn't know that Kong Xiaoxiao bought the book for him to teach him to read and write.

The shopkeeper quickly packed up everything Kong Xiaoxiao needed.

A total of 15 taels.

It is true that it is expensive to be a scholar.

Fortunately, she now has a small fortune and doesn't have to worry about this anymore.

Otherwise, it would be shameful if you accepted an apprentice but were unable to support him.

After buying everything, Kong Xiaoxiao finally prepared to go to the coffin shop.

He took the tadpole around and around to the coffin shop.

It is taboo for normal people to open a coffin shop, so the shop is relatively remote.

Kong Xiaoxiao entered the coffin shop and saw that there was only an old man about 50 years old in the shop.

He sat on the bench with his back against the wall, dozing with his eyes closed.

Kong Xiaoxiao tentatively said, "Ahem... Boss."

The old man slowly opened his eyes, his voice old and weak: "Girl, what's the matter with you?"

"I need to buy some yellow paper and cinnabar."

After Kong Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she felt something was wrong with this shop.

Such a strong yin energy.

The old man got up and went into the house to get something for Kong Xiaoxiao, and Kong Xiaoxiao followed him into the lobby.

Kong Xiaoxiao saw that the lobby was full of coffins, so she took a closer look.

"Huh?" Kong Xiaoxiao looked at the coffin in the corner in confusion and surprise.

Yin energy comes from it.

When Kong Xiaoxiao was lost in thought, the old man came out with something.

"How much."

Kong Xiaoxiao then withdrew her thoughts and looked at the things in the old man's hand and said, "You can take all of them. Calculate how much they cost."

"Girl, since you bought a lot, I'll give you a discount. Just give me 5 taels of silver for these."

The old man didn't expect that this girl was a big customer. Seeing that Kong Xiaoxiao caught his eye, he took the initiative to give her a discount.

Kong Xiaoxiao smiled: "Thank you, old man."

When buying things, you should not only buy value for money, but also buy discount services.

No matter how much discount the merchant gives, you will be happy as long as there is a discount.

This is the joy of shopping.

After paying the money, Kong Xiaoxiao did not leave immediately. She kept staring at the coffin inside. The old man looked at her with some confusion: "Girl, is there anything else?"

He saw the little girl staring at the coffin, and couldn't hide the smile on his face: "You want a coffin? Then I can give you a better discount, and I can deliver it to your door."

The corner of Kong Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched. Did it look like she really wanted to buy a coffin?

"Grandpa, you misunderstood. I just noticed that the coffin in the corner of your lobby looked a little strange, and I was a little curious."

"Hey, what's so strange about that? Aren't they all coffins?" The old man saw that his business was ruined and lost interest. He put his hands behind his back, shook his head and was about to walk inside.

Kong Xiaoxiao stopped him and said in a serious tone: "Grandpa, there is something wrong with that coffin. It is not a new coffin."

The old man was frightened and immediately looked around to see if there was anyone outside the shop. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw no one. Then he said to Kong Xiaoxiao angrily, "You little girl, this is clearly a new coffin. Don't talk nonsense and ruin the reputation of my shop."

Kong Xiaoxiao frowned. This old man really didn't know. It seemed that he had been cheated.

It was clearly a coffin that had held the dead!

Hey.

Seeing that the old man didn't believe her, she didn't say much: "Old man, I'll stop here. Believe it or not, if you find anything wrong later, you can come to the Cloud Inn to find me. My name is Kong Xiaoxiao."

Without waiting for the old man to answer, he took the tadpole away swiftly.

The old man thought he had met a psychopath and shook his head, saying, "She looks like a pretty girl, but how could she speak like a lunatic?"

This batch of coffins was new goods that had just been delivered. He had checked and found that they were all newly made. How could anyone have used them before?

But the coffin shop owner made a mistake this time!!

This coffin is new, but it does contain a dead person.
