Showers fell all night, and the silence of the night was broken by a rooster's crowing, and the sky began to brighten slightly.

In front of a dilapidated and shabby unknown stone nunnery in the Earth Immortal World, under a persimmon tree with yellowed leaves, an old man in orange clothes and white pants, who was drenched in the rain and became a chicken in soup, was stunned, and he muttered to himself from time to time, as if he was remembering something!

At this moment, a white donkey tied to Lao Suo bit a yellowed jujube leaf scattered in the sky and chewed it, as if it could not bear its bitter taste, and let out a hissing sound in its mouth.

The old man who was leaning on the jujube tree with a distracted face was suddenly disturbed, sighed and said: "People, once you start to recall the past, then it proves that he is indeed old, and I am really old!"

At this moment, the big-bellied man holding a gold-edged and jade-decorated oil-paper umbrella hurriedly walked towards Lao Suo with a jar of flower carvings.

Lao Suo saw the person who came and said angrily: "Huang Man'er, why did you think of coming to me, did you stab Lou Zi again and want me to wipe your ass!"

The big-bellied man pulled the lid on the flower carving very crisply, and he deliberately shook the wine jar in front of Lao Suo's nose, and said with a smile: "Uncle, this is the aged flower carving of Xinghua Village Restaurant, you don't taste two bites, what is the taste of it!"

Lao Suo hurriedly shook his head, and muttered in his mouth: "Huang Man'er, I don't dare to drink your wine, last time you picked up Widow Li's wall and slept with people, I was afraid that the East Window incident would make me intercede for you, you don't know that when your uncle was cheeky to intercede for you, the Widow Li spit on the stars was about to drown me, and I don't care about your anymore!"

Huang Man'er opened his mouth and leaned his face in front of Lao Suo and said: "Uncle, I'll tell you clearly, I was beaten by the little shopkeeper of a pharmacy, you see that this face hit me, it was swollen like this, and I lost two teeth, and now I leak when I speak!"

Lao Suo frowned, and asked, "What's the matter, the other party has such a heavy hand!"

"I fell in love with a girl like a flower in the pharmacy on Changchun Street, and I couldn't help but reach out and pull the girl's little hand, but I was beaten like this by her husband!" Huang Man'er said.

After Lao Suo let out a long sigh, he looked at Huang Man'er and asked, "Did you report my name at that time?"

"Reported, of course reported, I didn't go out to do things first to move out your old name, but I moved your old name out, the little shopkeeper just didn't buy it, he also said that Zhang Guolao is something, I haven't heard of such a person since I was born......"

Huang Man'er saw that Lao Suo was very fascinated by what he heard, and he immediately began to make up nonsense, and he added oil and vinegar to exaggerate the truth of the matter.

At this time, Lao Suo picked up the fishing drum placed next to the jujube tree, and suddenly coughed and said: "Enough, there are still people in this fairy world who don't give me Zhang Guolao a little thin noodles, I want to see where the other party is sacred, you can take me over to see!"

As soon as Huang Man'er heard this, his eyebrows suddenly became fluttering, and he hurriedly handed the flower carving in his hand to Lao Suo and said, "Uncle, I'll wait for your words!"

After that, Huang Man'er hummed a little song, and walked towards the direction of the pharmacy opened by Yang Huaiping with an excited face, Zhang Guolao looked at Huang Man'er and sighed, took a sip of Huadiao, held the fishing drum, and rode a white donkey to follow his footsteps.

……

At this time, Changchun Street in the early morning is particularly lively, steaming steamed bun shops, cloth shops, antique calligraphy and painting shops, tea shops, restaurants, and Yang Huaiping's pharmacy are all open for business as usual.

Yang Huaiping looked at the chaotic carriages and horses at the door of the store and the flow of people coming and going, and somehow, there was a lonely look in his eyes.

Due to the abundant aura in the earth fairy world, the people living here generally rarely get sick, so Yang Huaiping's pharmacy business is always tepid, but the pharmacy has been open every day as usual, he thinks that as long as the pharmacy is open, there will always be people in need to come to buy medicine, and this pharmacy can also help those in need!

Generally speaking, Yang Huaiping's pharmacy doesn't make any money every day, and most of them provide some convenience for the surrounding people, because it is impossible to live by opening a pharmacy alone, and when he is fine, he will make some paintings to subsidize his family.

Although the business of the pharmacy opened by Yang Huaiping is not very prosperous, his paintings are very valuable, and basically the silver taels sold for a painting are enough for their family to make a living for a month, without worrying about food and clothing.

Changchun Street is very lively and prosperous, but no one came to Yang Huaiping's pharmacy to buy medicine, seeing this scene, he had to take out the rice paper and pen and ink under the counter to prepare to paint.

For some reason, some local literati and squire officials liked fragrant paintings such as the White Tiger Girl, the Imperial Concubine Bathing, and the Old Tree Roots.

In order to make a living, Yang Huaiping had to do what he liked, splashed ink, and painted in a big way, he had heard people say that before reading the masterpiece "Golden Vase Plum", he must bathe in incense and meditate to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart, so as to realize the deep meaning!

And Yang Huaiping doesn't do that, in the process of painting, he can also do his heart like water, without the slightest ripple, not moved by these external objects, not trapped in his heart, not disturbed by the outside!

At this time, Jiang Ruoke walked to Yang Huaiping with a wooden comb, she combed Yang Huaiping's hair, and said in a gentle tone: "Daowen, don't let your daughter see it when you paint, she is a child, she can't see it well!"

After Yang Huaiping drew the outline of the figure, he turned his head to Jiang Ruoke and said: "Actually, I don't want to draw these things, but people, after all, you have to live ......."

Before Yang Huaiping could finish speaking, Jiang Ruoke put a finger on Yang Huaiping's lips, and she murmured: "I understand this, but I'm very strange, why do some of the paintings you draw only paint a back, and some don't draw people's eyes!"

Yang Huaiping said with a deep face: "I told you that you probably won't understand, this painting pays attention to a hazy beauty and incomplete beauty, and things with flaws can often bring people a more beautiful conjecture, too beautiful things, but they will seem unreal!"

Jiang Ruoke was confused when she heard it, but she didn't say anything, just combed his hair with a gentle face.

Suddenly, Yang Huaiping turned his head to Jiang Ruoke and said, "Ruoke, bring your rouge!"

Jiang Ruoke took out the rouge from his arms and handed it to Yang Huaiping, and said with a puzzled expression: "What do you want rouge for!"

Yang Huaiping didn't speak, he just opened the lid of the rouge, dipped his quick little thumb on the painting with two blush, and then rolled up the painting and put it in the drawer.

At this moment, a dull sound of fishing drums came from outside the pharmacy......
