I Want to Burn the Sky

It was precisely the dragon shadow flying with Mei Jing, who was playing with her. Because she heard the noise outside, she came out to take a look.    

The dragon shadow was three meters tall and was quite conspicuous wherever it was. Parker was immediately stunned when he saw such a giant.    

Especially the dragon shadow's furious eyes, which were filled with anger, which slightly glared at him, scaring Parker into pissing his pants.    

"This... This time, you didn't even pay the grain tax rent that you set.    

Meina, you actually raised a wild man at home, and you even made him threaten me? Isn't that right? Fine! Just you wait!"    

Parker scrambled away.    

Meina originally wanted to explain, but Parker had already gone very far away. She couldn't stop him even if she wanted to.    

"Do you know how big of a crime it would be if you couldn't pay the rent and offended the tax officer?"    

Meina looked at Guu Feng and was so angry that tears flowed down her face.    

"We will all be sold to the palace. I will forget about it. What should we do with the crystals?"    

"Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Mei Jing has already grown up."    

As Mei Jing spoke, she curled her lips in dissatisfaction, appearing very arrogant.    

When Meina heard this, she did not know whether to laugh or cry. She squatted down and hugged Meijing in her arms:    

"Silly child, you still don't know what you're facing."    

"Is that rental a lot?" Guu Feng asked in a low voice.    

Meina nodded and said, "Every time we pay the rent, the remaining food is only enough for us to barely survive."    

Guu Feng pondered for a moment, then walked to Meina's house. After a while, he walked out, holding a kitchen knife in his hand. "This is for you."    

Meina was shocked by Guu Feng's actions and did not dare to take it. "You... what are you doing?"    

"I have refined this thing once again. The impurities have been removed and its hardness has been strengthened. I have also made some changes."    

Guu Feng pointed at the kitchen knife and said, "This thing should be much stronger than ordinary iron weapons. You can sell it, it should be worth some money. "    

Meina could indeed tell that this was her own kitchen knife, but the knife's luster was clearly brighter than before.    

Moreover, one could see with the naked eye that a faint silver light appeared on the surface, as if it had changed.    

However, this kitchen knife was still a kitchen knife. No matter how valuable it was, how could it be comparable to a month of grain tax rent?    

As Meina thought of this, she hesitated and did not take the knife.    

Guu Feng saw that Meina was so hesitant and thought that it was this beautiful woman. He felt a little embarrassed and explained:    

"I have also lived in your house for a few days. This thing is what you should have. Take it."    

With that, he stuffed the kitchen knife into Meina's hands, forcing her to accept it.    

Meina looked at the kitchen knife in her hand and then looked at Guu Feng. This fellow was now putting the boot back on her feet.    

She wondered if this guy's head had just been clamped by the door.    

Guu Feng put on the boots, but he saw that Meina was still not moving. She stood there in a daze and frowned strangely.    

"Why aren't you selling this kitchen knife? What are you doing? Don't you want to save yourself and your daughter?"    

"No matter what, he's from the palace. He can't be a fool, right?"    

When Mina heard Guu Feng mention Mei Jing, she raised the kitchen knife in her hand again. After hesitating for a while, she finally gritted her teeth and said:    

"Fine, I'll just do whatever I can!"    

Meina held the kitchen knife and patrolled the south district's pawnshop for a long time.    

She was too embarrassed to go in.    

She originally wanted to set up a stall and sell the kitchen knife, but after thinking about it, she really couldn't bring herself to lose face...    

There were no strict measurement standards for Sky City's money. They were all measured by the weight of food.    

After Guu Feng asked about the price of a few items, he estimated the price of the kitchen knife to be 100,000 catties of food!    

100,000 catties!    

To Meina, this was simply an astronomical figure!    

In Sky City, the rent for an adult's grain tax was about 100 jins per month.    

This 100 thousand catties was enough to pay the rent for a thousand months!    

"How can it be worth so much? Isn't this a lie?"    

When Meina thought of this, she thought of a way to take the kitchen knife to the pawnshop to pawn.    

The people in the pawnshop were all professional appraisers. They had to have an accurate evaluation of the quality of the goods.    

They definitely knew how much the kitchen knife was worth!    

As long as they pawned the kitchen knife, wouldn't it save them the trouble of lying?    

However, when she walked to the pawnshop's door, she still didn't have the courage to step in.    

She always felt that the other person would kick her out the moment she saw the kitchen knife.    

"For the sake of the crystal, I have to give it a try no matter what."    

Thinking of her own child, Meina finally mustered up her courage and walked into the pawnshop.    

"Hello, are you here to pawn something?"    

A young man who looked like a waiter walked in front of Meina. He was first shocked by her beauty, then politely asked.    

"Mm... Yes, that's right."    

"What do you want to pawn? Wang Yao asked. Why don't you take it out and let me help you estimate the price?" The young man continued.    

At this time, Meina took out the kitchen knife from her waist pocket, opened the package, and revealed it.    

"Kitchen knife?" The young assistant tried his best to hold back his laughter. "This is a pawn shop, not a slaughterhouse. Did you go to the wrong place?"    

"I... I'm sorry."    

Meina bowed with all her might, then picked up the kitchen knife and was about to flee from the pawnshop.    

"Wait a moment." The young assistant looked at Meina's aggrieved and disappointed expression and said with pity in his heart:    

"If you insist on pawning this thing, I can give it to our shopkeeper to see if he can be lenient..."    

"Okay." When Meina heard that there was still a chance, she did not hesitate to pass the kitchen knife to the young shop assistant.    

The young shop assistant walked straight to the back room of the pawnshop. There was a thin old man sitting upright there.    

However, there was a pair of crystal glasses on his eyes, and he was happily sunbathing.    

"Shopkeeper, there is someone outside who wants to pawn a strange thing."    

After the young attendant finished speaking, he placed the package in front of the shopkeeper and unfolded it one by one.    

"What is it?" The shopkeeper's voice was a bit lazy.    

"A kitchen knife."    

"Kitchen knife? We don't sell vegetables here. Take it away." The shopkeeper waved his hand impatiently.    

The young shop assistant had just opened the package when he heard the shopkeeper's words. He couldn't help but say, "Don't. I think that woman is quite pitiful.    

Perhaps she had encountered some kind of trouble. Let's just help her out and treat it as buying a new kitchen knife? "
