Life in a Small Town Chapter 3 Grandpa Fairy
After resting for a long time at the foot of Fuyun Mountain, Yu Xuan and Xie Ma began their return journey.
Fuyun Mountain is outside Jincheng City, and the distance is not close, so this is another exhausting journey for the two children.
Outside the gate of Jincheng, Yu Xuan stopped, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, tidied up his underwear, and then waved his hand and strode into the city with Xie Ma.
As soon as Yu Xuan's right foot stepped into the city gate, he was swept away by the decline outside the city just now, and then he was replaced by a smile full of energy.
After entering the Jincheng city gate, the first thing you see is a tea house on the right hand, the tea house is not big, there are only five guest tables, but there are a lot of people, although it is not full, but five tables, four are full of people.
There is a young man who doesn't know whether it's a guy or the boss in the tea house is making tea for the guests, and the guests here are generally outsiders who come to Jincheng for a short time due to various things, but this young man can also make tea while laughing with these outsiders, which makes the atmosphere of the tea house very lively.
Seeing that the other party didn't notice him, Yu Xuan cleared his throat and deliberately raised his voice: "Yo, isn't this Uncle Zhan? Business is good? Look at this, your Qingfeng Tea House is about to become the second largest signature store in Jincheng after Aunt Gui's baked cake shop!"
Before the young man in the teahouse looked up, he already knew who the person who spoke up was, he stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked at Yu Xuan with a smile, and quipped: "If Young Master Yu comes to this small shop less, don't say that Jincheng is second, that is, Aunt Gui's first position in Jincheng, I dare to covet a few points." ”
Yu Xuan was suddenly anxious, and then regardless of the image, he jumped and scolded: "Zhan Yu Xiao'er! At the beginning, your father and I would drag it to your broken tea house every time I met foreign tourists, and after drinking your tea, I secretly didn't know how few people said that the tea in your tea house was not delicious, and they all asked me to prevaricate with the excuse that the tea was not growing well this year, but I didn't expect that this little master would fight the risk of infamy to hold your broken tea house, and now he has to endure such a weird atmosphere......
Speaking of emotion, Yu Xuan even stretched out his sleeves and wiped his eyes.
"Oh———" The young man named Zhan Yu raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly, tilted his head back, pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and then lowered his head aggrievedly, snorted, and began to say in a low voice that seemed to be unintentional: "In order to let the guests drink the best tea, I Zhan Yu will trek through the mountains and rivers every day at dawn to walk more than ten kilometers of mountain roads to the tea mountains to pick the freshest tea leaves The plaque, but I don't know why, there are always visitors from other places behind their backs to talk about the taste of my tea, sometimes sour as wild plums, making people frown, sometimes spicier than the strongest liquor, making people tears, sweet and sour all kinds of tastes have been tasted in my tea house, but I didn't drink the taste of real tea, those tourists who have come to Jincheng say that Jincheng is good anywhere, but only can not go to the tea house near the city gate, resulting in my tea house to pick up new customers, but never wait for the return of customers, I often ask myself, is it offended God, to play tricks on me like this...”
As he spoke, Zhan Yu buried his head in the crook of his arm, his shoulders shrugged, as if he was sobbing.
Yu Xuan's face was suddenly extremely hot, and the arrogance of Fang Cai also disappeared, and he hurriedly waved his hand weakly: "That's it, the master will be cheeky to pull some more guests for you when the time comes, you will not know if the taste of the tea is abnormal before you take a sip of tea in the future, I still have something to do, you hurry up." ”
After speaking, he pulled up Xie Ma and ran away.
After Yu Xuan left, Zhan Yu raised his head and looked at the back of the deserted escape, with a look of teasing. His parents died when he was six years old, except for having a roll of straw mats in the "poor and poor in the east of the city", he had nothing, after Yu Li came to Jincheng, he built a nursery for children like Zhan Yu who had been wandering since childhood, Zhan Yu was eight years old at the time, and he was also taken in, after Yu Xuan was born to stagger, Zhan Yu often took him around to wander around, and many of Yu Xuan's temperament and tricky methods at the moment began with Zhan Yu, how can he be fooled?
After running for a long time, Yu Xuan turned around and couldn't see the Qingfeng Tea House, so he slowed down and took a deep breath.
"How, it was almost debunked, wasn't it?"
Xie Ma on the side sneered mercilessly, he naturally knew that every time he and Yu Xuan passed by Qingfeng Tea House, Yu Xuan would definitely take advantage of Zhan Yu's inattention, choose a table where no one was sitting, and put some strange things in the tea that Yu Xuan usually had nothing to do.
Yu Xuan glanced at Xie Ma, thinking in his heart, whether to remove Zhan Yu from his list of tricks, after all, Zhan Yu, who is an orphan, is indeed lonely and unsatisfactory, if he really smashes Zhan Yu's signboard of "Qingfeng Tea House" because of his occasional little prank, it will be a little inappropriate.
"Yu Xuan, look. ”
Xie Ma suddenly tugged at Yu Xuan's sleeve and pointed somewhere ahead.
Yu Xuan pulled back his sleeve impatiently and looked in the direction Xie Ma pointed.
On the side of the street in front, there is an old man in a white robe, the old man has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, snow temples and frost mustache, a wisp of white beard is longer than his waist, and a white flag is erected beside him, on which are written the eight characters of "Count the last resort and the means of the gods". Beside the old man, there was a group of children who were eight or nine years old, and these children were either holding the old man's thighs or pulling at the old man's sleeves, as if they were shouting something in unison.
"Yo, it's these charlatans again. "Yu Xuan is interested, usually Jincheng will come to Jincheng at the two ends of three days, but it is rare to dress up so strangely like this.
Yu Xuan and Xie Ma stepped forward and heard the commotion of these children.
"Grandpa Fairy, just change a spell for us!
The children shook the old man as they spoke, but the old man was not annoyed, just laughing, but did not move.
Yu Xuan smiled disdainfully, the warlocks in the past would never call themselves immortals like this, at most they would do some tricks that could make people see through seven or eight points at a glance in the name of "a certain immortal master" or "natural ability", he wanted to see what was the difference between this old fairy in white and those three sects and nine streams.
So Yu Xuan came closer, pretended to be worshipful, and echoed loudly: "Yes, Grandpa Fairy, our small city is very closed, and we have never seen a real immortal.
These children all knew that Yu Xuan was the son of the city lord, and when they saw Yu Xuan's brother speak, he shouted louder and shook harder.
In the face of this yin and yang strange words, the old man didn't mind, he still maintained that kind smile on his face, and just looked up at Yu Xuan, but somehow, when the old man's eyes swept over Xie Ma next to Yu Xuan, his eyes froze, but his face had a fleeting subtle change, and he looked at it twice before retracting his gaze.
Yu Xuan saw that the old man didn't speak, the smile on his face was even stronger, and just wanted to say a few more sarcastic words about this skinless and faceless old liar to vent the deflated food he had just eaten at Zhan Yu's place, the old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the white banner erected on the side, Yu Xuan took a closer look, it turned out that he was far away just now, and he didn't see a few small words at the bottom of the white flag: five copper coins once.
Looking at these words, Yu Xuan frowned slightly, which made him difficult.
It's not that you can't get this money, the dignified son of the city lord, even if the family gives less idle money on weekdays, how can the five copper plates not be able to get it? But if these five copper plates are spent, in exchange for a shoddy trick by this old man, it will really be a bit more than worth the loss.
Just when he was in a dilemma, Yu Xuan's eyes inadvertently glanced to his side, and his heart trembled, and he knew that the money was bound to be spent today.
Beside Yu Xuan, a pair of eyes full of anticipation surrounded him at some point, and these children who were still shouting just now suddenly realized that even if they shook and shouted again, they could not compare to the five copper coins that Yu Xuan's brother took out.
Looking at the eyes of these children, there is a kind of "If you don't spend these five copper coins, you will not be the brother Yu Xuan in our hearts", Yu Xuan sighed in his heart, he knew that he would not come up to join in this fun, the people of Jincheng are no longer the simple and good people they were at the beginning, how can they not see the road of these charlatans, and these children around the old man, no matter how clever this old man's deception is, I am afraid that he will not be able to pry a copper coin from them.
Where are five copper coins worth the courage of the city lord's son. Yu Xuan gritted his teeth and looked at Xie Ma beside him, Xie Ma hurriedly took a step back, with an expression of "I don't have any money, don't borrow from me", which made Yu Xuan sigh that true brotherhood can only be blessed and shared with difficulties.
After groping around on his body for a long time, Yu Xuan finally reluctantly took out five copper coins and put them heavily in front of the old man, he wanted to discuss a few words with the old man, whether he could get a little less than one or two copper coins, but so many pairs of eyes stared, if he negotiated the price, he would lose the meaning of taking out these five copper coins.
Spending five copper coins to buy a dispensable trick performance, Yu Xuan was unwilling, gritted his teeth and stared at the old man viciously and threatened: "If Grandpa Immortal uses some ordinary tricks in the mortal world to fool me, I don't care what kind of fairy and ghost you are, I have to let you see the courage of my Master Yu Xuan!"
The old man still laughed, this smile fell on Yu Xuan's eyes, it was extremely inadequate, Yu Xuan regretted that he didn't learn boxing with his father on weekdays, if he was pregnant with the world's boxing method, he would punch the old man at this time, so that his appearance of fairy wind bones was gone.
After the old man in white put the money into his sleeve, he finally made a move, he raised his head, looked Yu Xuan up and down, and finally his eyes stayed on the belt around Yu Xuan's waist.
Although Yu Xuan knew that under this public, this old man would definitely not do anything to him, he was still furious by this burning gaze, and unconsciously took a few steps back.
Fortunately, the old man's gaze only stayed on Yu Xuan's clothes belt for two seconds, and then he moved his gaze upward, met Yu Xuan's four eyes, and tilted his head, as if reminding of something.
Yu Xuan didn't react, squinted his eyes, and was still wondering what the old man was doing, but at this moment, Xie Ma and the child on the side suddenly shouted, their voices were full of fright, staring at the position of the belt around Yu Xuan's waist.
Yu Xuan suddenly had a bad premonition, and when he looked down, he saw that there was a green snake with the thickness of an arm, spitting out a scarlet tongue, replacing the original clothes belt, wrapped around Yu Xuan's waist!
Yu Xuan was shocked and screamed, and the green snake seemed to be frightened, and quickly crawled to the neck and got into it through the neckline.
Yu Xuan almost cried, screaming incessantly, causing passers-by to stop and look sideways, but when they saw that it was this Young Master Yu, they would smile and ignore it. The son of the city lord has a lot of strange behaviors on weekdays, and his inferior tricks are endless, and the people of Jincheng have long been accustomed to it.
"Fairy grandpa, spare me, I still have three copper coins in my pocket, you take this snake away, I will give you a piece!"
Feeling the slow squirming of the green snake in his chest, Yu Xuan's heart was frightened, but he didn't dare to make any moves, and even the trembling of his whole body caused by excessive fright had to be carefully controlled.
Hearing this, the old man in white stroked his beard with a smile, and without knowing what means he used, the bulge on Yu Xuan's chest disappeared out of thin air.
Yu Xuan didn't notice that the coldness in his chest was gone, and he still screamed, and several children around him couldn't help but cover their mouths and smile when they saw Yu Xuan's appearance, although they were young, they all knew that this young master Yu Xuan was famous for his self-righteousness in Jincheng, walking on the streets of Jincheng on weekdays, walking was called a majestic and majestic atmosphere, but the corners of his clothes were accidentally blown by the wind, and he had to find a corner where no one was taking care of it, like this, it is rare.
Xie Ma on the side couldn't stand it anymore, pushed him, and reminded in a low voice: "Don't scream, it's gone." ”
Yu Xuan, who was reminded, finally stopped screaming, but he was still not at ease, frowning and feeling carefully, after confirming that the green snake was no longer on him, he quickly wiped the tears in the corners of his eyes that could not be stopped no matter how and the two snots hanging on his nose, and then he was annoyed, knowing that he was so unlucky today, he should stay at home and study those things that will be used for pranks next time.
Thinking of this, Yu Xuan was extremely annoyed, but just after seeing the unusual trick of the old man in front of him, he didn't dare to get angry at him, for fear that there would be another white snake and red snake, so he scolded the children around him who were covering their mouths and snickering: "What are you laughing at, hurry home and change diapers!"
These children only saw Brother Yu Xuan, who was snot and tears, where would they be afraid, after scattering around, one of the little girls said with a smile while running: "It's you who should change diapers!"
Yu Xuan was furious, pointed at the girl's back and scolded, "Don't let me see you next time!" As for what will happen next time I see you, Yu Xuan didn't think about it for a while.
After the children scattered, Yu Xuan finally didn't need to maintain the image that no one cared about except himself, he shook his face shyly, shook the robe that looked loose because of the lack of clothes, and smiled at the old man in white with an embarrassed face: "Fairy grandpa, look, I also paid the money, and your trick has changed, so my belt, do you see if it's-"
The old man in white nodded, his right hand shook slightly, and a belt appeared in the old man's hand, compared to the previous trick, this trick did not surprise Yu Xuan, in the past, those who called themselves "master disciples" or "strange warriors", this method of taking things out of thin air is almost a must for everyone.
Yu Xuan bent down, and the moment he took the belt, his hand trembled involuntarily, for fear that the belt would turn into a green snake and bite him. If it weren't for the lack of a belt, his appearance would be really embarrassed, and Yu Xuan would have to give up this belt that made him feel palpitations.
