There is a middle-aged man in Huolong Town, who carries a tattered snakeskin bag every day, picks up some broken copper and iron, picks up some crockpots and porcelain, and is unkempt all day long, and there is a fishy smell on his body. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people in the town called him the tattered general, and this man was crazy, and often made a horse and waved a spear, looking up to the sky and roaring, so he got this name. The tattered general has been calling for a long time, and the people in the town have forgotten the original name of the tattered general.

Because the tattered general is demented, he has no wife and children, and his parents have died one after another, so no one cares, but some kind-hearted people in the town will give some bits and pieces, or bring a bowl of porridge and hand it over, that is, because there are many kind-hearted people in the town, so the tattered general can live until now.

The tattered general carried a snakeskin bag on his back again, and came to the royal compound on this day, looking around.

His eyes were always down on the ground, his mouth was slurred, and no one knew what he was talking about.

He reached out, picked up a piece of scrap metal, threw it into the snakeskin bag, and looked around, probably because the sun was too dazzling, he squinted, and the black ash of the bottom of the pot obscured his face, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"What the hell, get out of here!" suddenly came an angry shout from behind him.

Turning his face, at some point, there were already two men in plain shirts standing behind him.

The tattered general opened his mouth, "Woo woo woo" for a long time, and gestured with his hand for a long time, not knowing what to do.

The angry man with a black mole on his face, adding a bit of fierceness, his eyes were full of anger, and this look was probably enough to scare the children of the town into tears.

"Alright, don't kill him, this is a fool, picking up rags. Another white-faced man beside him waved his hand and said, "Don't pay attention, there are few people in the town who don't know him." ”

Hearing the white-faced man say this, the man breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a throat: "Pick up the rags and pick them up in another place, get away!"

The tattered general was so frightened that he scurried around with his head in his hands, and the man laughed.

"Okay, it's just a fool, what's the point of bullying him?" the white-faced man couldn't look past it and reprimanded.

Although the man's face and eyes were also full of dissatisfaction, he didn't know why, and after listening to these few words of reprimand, he didn't say a word.

Besides, the tattered general, after running a distance, began to wander around the courtyard again.

Although the man was still a little dissatisfied, after glancing at the white-faced scholar, his open mouth finally chose to close.

"A fool can't speak well, even if he knows something, it's not a big deal. Speaking of this, the white-faced man paused and continued, "Send some rice and noodles to the people inside, so that they will not be upset." ”

The man spat on the ground and scolded, "What's upset about them? A hundred dollars a day, and they're just sitting in the yard." ”

"What should I do if I starve to death?" the white-faced scholar glared, and he didn't have a good breath.

The man rubbed his nose and said no more.

After the two of them were far away, the tattered general stretched out his hand and wiped his face, and a fine light flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be the Yin and Yang Diagram?" "The tattered general" muttered, then turned around, walked under an old locust tree, reached out his hand, stretched out a finger, and poked directly into the soft soil, and after withdrawing his finger, he sniffed it carefully, and then frowned.

He stood up, looked around, then turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back.

No one paid attention to him.

Half an hour later, the tattered general returned to Qin's house.

Shi Potian stood at the door, with a smile on his face.

"Brother Tian. The "tattered general" finally washed the ashes from the bottom of the pot on his face, then patted the dust off his head, took off his clothes, and threw the snakeskin bag again. If it weren't for Shi Potian talking and laughing with him, the guards of the Qin family would have rushed over and chased this guy away at this time.

After wiping off the ashes on his face, Tan Jiaquan also revealed his original face.

"Your bone-shrinking skills are not bad. Shi Potian squinted his eyes and smiled.

"Hehe, it's just a small skill of carving insects, and it can't be elegant. Tan Jiaquan smiled modestly.

Shi Potian waved his hand: "Ability is ability, failure is failure, and sometimes excessive modesty can become pride." Speaking of this, he paused, looked around, and continued, "This is not the place to talk, you better go take a shower first." He pinched his nose and said.

I really don't know how Tan Jiaquan endured this fishy smell, now Shi Potian regrets it a little, what do you have to do with such sensitive senses? Originally, this was a benefit, but now it has become a kind of torture.

After Tan Jiaquan took a shower and changed into clothes, Shi Potian rushed over with Qin Daoyuan and others.

"Brother Tian, sit down first!" Tan Jiaquan buttoned the last button and said with a smile.

Seeing the smile on Tan Jiaquan's face, Shi Potian's mood was also much better.

If you want to say that the most anxious thing now, it is none other than Tan Jiaquan, but now, this kid is all smiling, and Shi Potian can't think of a reason why he is still nervous.

After sitting down, Shi Pocai spoke: "I see something, hurry up and say, we don't have time to play dumb riddles with you." ”

Tan Jiaquan smiled, took out a compass from his pocket, put it on the table, looked around with his eyes, and then said unhurriedly: "I did see some, but there is no way to verify my thoughts now, I have to go again, I came back this time, I just took some things." ”

"That's the compass?" Shi Potian asked.

Tan Jiaquan waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is such a compass, but it is not just such a compass." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the box under his feet.

"Are you sure?" Shi Potian sighed, and didn't ask Tan Jiaquan what he saw, because he knew that even if he asked, Tan Jiaquan said, he might not be able to understand, so it was better not to ask.

After listening to Shi Potian's question, Tan Jiaquan did not answer directly.

His fingers tapped on the table for a long time, and he sighed a few times, with a solemn expression: "Brother Tian, I can only say that I will do my best." It can be seen that even he himself is not 100% sure at this time, so he can only try his luck.

Shi Potian pondered for a moment, and finally could only nod.

"Just give you one day. His tone sounded undeniable.

Tan Jiaquan was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, showed a relieved smile, clenched his fists and said, "Brother Tian, don't worry, I won't let you down!"

Shi Potian stared at him for a few seconds, and sighed for a long time: "It's not that you don't let me down, it's that you don't let yourself down." ”

Tan Jiaquan opened his mouth and smiled, nodded again, stood up for a long time, carried the small box on his back, and strode out.

Back, resolute!
