Chapter 47: Mr. Storyteller
"Lin Tian asked Master! What are you going to teach us? A younger child asked curiously.
This question stopped Lin Tianqing, he scratched his head, and thought for a long time before saying, "I can teach you to read!" ”
"What's this? We have the best teacher in the city in our house! The little girl in the flamboyant clothes said.
"Humph! Have you ever read books like "Strange Tales of Mountains and Rivers on Five Continents" and "Illustrated Guide to Ancient Divine Soldiers"? Lin Tianwen asked quite angrily.
"That's not true, Mr. Teaching teaches books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, Music and Chess Scores, and the names of the two books you said are really strange!" The little girl in gorgeous clothes shook her head.
"I knew it! I have four or five large bookcases filled with books like this in my study! It records all the demons and monsters in the world, magic weapons! Lin Tianwen rubbed a handful of snot with his sleeve and said proudly.
"Liar! My mother told me that there are no such demons in this world...... "A younger child retorted.
"That's it, we've known you for so long, no one knows where your home is, and what books stuffed with four or five big bookcases must be a lie!" The twelve-year-old boy seized the opportunity and deliberately excluded him.
Lin Tianwen blushed when he was asked, he angrily pointed to a towering mountain peak in the distance, and said, "My home is there!" ”
All the children followed Lin Tianwen's fingers, and saw the mountain peaks like the pillars of optimus standing straight in the distance.
"Liar! My mother told me that there are immortals living in the lonely peak, and you are not an immortal! The younger kid retorted again.
Lin Tian asked and smiled, and said, "Your mother told you that there are no demons, but she also said that there are immortals living on the lonely peak, isn't this a self-contradiction?" ”
The younger child did not understand what "contradiction" meant, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Since you said you live in Lone Peak, why don't you show your hands and let us see?" The twelve-year-old boy said.
Lin Tianwen shook his head, his blue and yellow snot flowed down again, and said, "My father won't let me show off in front of people." ”
"Humph! After talking for a long time, you are still a dishonest person after all! ”
"How can this be true? Just worshipped me as a teacher, insulted me like this! I'm going to expel you from the school!" Lin Tianwen finally had the opportunity to say some "adult words" at this moment.
"I'm not unusual! Let's go! Don't play with him anymore! The twelve-year-old boy gave the order that all the children should follow him, and he was the oldest, and it seemed that he usually had some prestige.
Lin Tianwen was so angry that he stomped his feet, and finally accepted some "apprentices", how could he not be angry when he was about to "betray his master" in the blink of an eye?
He looked at the backs of several children leaving, and was hesitating to show them a hand, at this moment, Lin Tianwen felt that the back of his head was flicked, he was already angry, and he was immediately angry when he was flicked, and quickly turned around.
But I saw that it was a girl about thirteen years old. The girl had a pink complexion and a beautiful face, and she was smiling at herself.
As soon as Lin Tianwen saw the girl, he was immediately surprised: "Senior sister! ”
When all the children heard Lin Tianwen call "Senior Sister", they all stopped and looked back.
Lin Tianwen had an idea, took the girl's arm and showed off to the children: "This is your master 'Wen Qing'!" Don't want to see you yet? ”
Lin Tianwen's senior sister Wen Qing withdrew her arm, and flicked a brain melon on Lin Tianwen's head, and said with a slight anger: "'Master', you are big, what kind of trick are you doing?" ”
Lin Tianwen covered his head and said with a smile: "I am their master now, I want you to be their master!" ”
"Nonsense, full of cannons! Don't you know what the relationship between 'Master' and 'Master' is? I am your senior sister, and you are my junior brother. If you are their master, I am naturally their master! Wen Qing's face was slightly red, and she frowned.
"Of course I do! I want you to be my wife! Is there anything wrong with that? Lin Tian asked, puzzled.
Although Wen Qing is only thirteen years old, she also has the feelings of her daughter's family, hearing Lin Tianwen say this in front of these children, her cheeks turned red, and she scolded with a smile: "If you dare to say it again, I will tell the master when I go back that you slipped down the mountain without permission again!" See how Master cleans you up! ”
Lin Tianwen was shocked in his heart, and then said with a hippie smile: "I know that senior sister, you are the best, and you will never betray me." Besides, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, and it doesn't matter if I am punished, but I am worried that you and I will be punished together. ”
Wen Qingwan smiled and said, "Flamboyant all day long, be careful of flashing your tongue!" ”
Lin Tianwen grinned, looked up at Wen Qing, and said, "Don't worry, senior sister!" I'll marry you when I grow up! ”
Wen Qing flicked Lin Tianwen again, this time the hand was quite strong, and Lin Tianwen's head tilted back, and said seriously: "If you talk nonsense again, I will ignore you again!" ”
Lin Tianwen's forehead was hot and painful, and although he was not convinced, he still begged for mercy on his lips, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin again.
When all the children heard the conversation between the two of them, they all felt that this Lin Tianwen seemed to be in some sect, otherwise they would not have called each other "senior sister" and "junior brother" with the girl named Wen Qing. So they all came back and walked to Lin Tianwen's side.
Lin Tianwen saw that the children came back again, and he turned to Wen Qing and whispered to Wen Qing, "Senior sister, do you have any silver on you?" ”
Wen Qing nodded and asked, "What the hell is the idea of the stinky boy?" ”
Lin Tian asked Daxi, turned to the children and said, "I have accepted so many disciples for the teacher today, I am very relieved, all the beloved disciples, please come with me!" ”
The children were puzzled, but they still followed Lin Tianwen out of curiosity, Wen Qing knew what Lin Tianwen was going to do at this moment, and shook his head helplessly.
Lin Tianwen led everyone to a vendor selling rock sugar gourds, only to see that there were many brightly colored rock sugar gourds on the straw sticks on the peddler's shoulders, which were like a very eye-catching bright lantern in the eyes of the children.
"Come on! For the teacher, please eat rock sugar gourd! Enough! Lin Tian asked loudly, his face was quite happy.
The children had been salivating for a long time, and when they heard Lin Tianwen say this, they all cheered. For a while, the joy of the children became a major focus in the market.
The sugar gourd vendor saw that Lin Tianwen was dressed in ugly clothes, and there was still a green and yellow snot hanging on the end of his nose, so he just said nonsense, and said: "My sugar gourd is full of color and fragrance, but it costs two pennies a piece, can the little kid afford it?" ”
"You keep your eyes open! I'm your old patron! When did you give you less money? Lin Tian asked.
Lin Tianwen turned to Wen Qing and stretched out his hand, and said with a hippie smile: "Senior sister~Help~"
Wen Qing was helpless, so she had to reach into her arms and take out a gold ingot, and said in a low voice: "I don't have any change here, you can do it." ”
Lin Tianwen held the gold high and showed off to the vendor: "Is one ingot of gold enough?" ”
When the peddler saw gold for the first time in his life, his eyes were straight, and although his heart was shocked, he was afraid that the gold was fake, so he hesitated.
Lin Tianwen's move had already caused the crowd in the bazaar to gather in a circle, and everyone stared at the golden ingot and talked about it.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar squeezed into the crowd with a signboard on his shoulder. When he saw the ingot, he swallowed his saliva and said, "Child! I'll give you some change! Everyone knows that this middle-aged man dressed as a scholar is a wandering storyteller and a person who has seen the world.
As soon as these words came out, the vendor who sold sugar gourds immediately took the gold in his hand, for fear of being robbed.
Lin Tian asked with a smile and said, "I know you can't find it, so you don't have to look for it!" It's just that uncle, you can't take this ingot of gold and do something else! I'll come and buy your rock sugar gourd in the future! ”
The storyteller who was carrying the signboard of "chatting about heaven and earth" heard Lin Tianwen's words, and said in his heart: "This little ghost is thoughtful, tiger-headed, and a little interesting!" ”
Lin Tianwen struggled to carry the straw stick filled with rock sugar gourd, and shouted loudly to his apprentices: "Apprentices, let's go!" ”
When the children saw that Lin Tianwen really had the ability to buy so many sugar gourds, they all hugged him and left the market.
As dusk approached, the sun seemed tired, and the light had gradually lost its brilliance.
The children dispersed separately, Lin Tianwen hadn't had enough fun, but he knew that it would take at least an hour to return to Gufeng, so he had to obediently follow Wen Qing in the direction of Gufeng.
The two were talking and laughing, and just walked to the west gate of Tianshui City, but they were stopped by a figure.
I saw that the man was about 50 years old, wearing a coarse cloth robe, wearing a square scarf, and carrying a signboard with four big characters on his shoulders.
"Little doll, what's your name?" The storyteller asked Lin Tian with a smile.
Wen Qing subconsciously saw Lin Tianwen behind her, frowned and said, "What is Mr. asking for?" ”
"It's going to be dark soon, don't you know that we have a lot of Chaozhou spirits? It's dangerous for two kids to go out of town at will! The storyteller said.
Wen Qing smiled delicately, and then said humbly and politely: "I don't bother Mr. Lao about this." Sir's kindness, my sister and brother both of them appreciated! As he spoke, he was about to pull Lin Tianwen away.
"Okay, since that's the case, then the old man won't be reluctant, one day in the future, when you hear the name of the old man, you will definitely regret not talking to me today!" After saying that, the storyteller also picked up the signboard and walked back to the city.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Tianwen became curious, and quickly broke free of Wen Qing's hand, ran to the storyteller and asked, "Old man, what is your name?" Can you tell me? ”
The storyteller looked away, and pretended to be angry: "I don't know how to cherish it, ask me again at this time, it's too late!" ”
"It's not too late, it's not too late, I'll ask Lin Tian, old man, tell me quickly!" Lin Tianwen had seen this storyteller a few times in the inn tavern, and knew that he liked to tell some anecdotes such as cultivating immortals and asking questions, but as for his origin, he was really unclear.
At this time, Wen Qing also walked over, pulled Lin Tianwen's sleeve, and said in a low and serious voice: "Master doesn't let us reveal our names to outsiders, if Master knows, he won't punish us severely?!" ”
Lin Tianwen smiled heartily and said, "It's okay, those apprentices of mine also know what my name is, my name is only, can my father still kill us?" ”
The storyteller pondered for a moment, and said curiously: "As far as the old man knows, there is no family surnamed Lin in Tianshui City this day, isn't the little doll a person in this city?" ”
Lin Tianwen was still about to answer, but Wen Qing covered his mouth, and he was speechless for a while.
Seeing this, the storyteller laughed and said, "This little girl's vigilance is really high, but don't worry, the old man is not a villain." ”
"Humph! Bad people never say they're bad! Ignore him, let's go! Wen Qing said coldly.
Lin Tianwen was unhappy, pursed his lips and refused to leave.
Mr. Storyteller saw Lin Tianwen surrounded by a group of children during the day, indicating that he had some leadership skills; He also told the gourd seller not to take the gold and change his career to another business, which shows that he is meticulous. And he is decisive and uninformal, and he is a little stubborn at the moment, and he loves him a lot in his heart. So he said, "I'll tell you the truth, you have to keep your ears up and hear clearly!" ”
Lin Tianwen's face was overjoyed, and he nodded hurriedly.
"The old man is a 'chattering nonsense' that everyone knows!" After speaking, Hu Yichen looked proud, his chin was raised high, and one hand gently stroked a small handful of mustache hanging from the corner of his mouth.
"You are Hu Yichen?!" Lin Tianwen widened his eyes and said in surprise.
"That's right! I know everything in the world, from astronomy and geography to trivialities, all in my brain! Hu Yichen squinted slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"I haven't heard of ......," Lin Tianwen changed his surprised expression and said coldly.
Hu Yichen was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Okay, you stinky boy, dare to slap me?" ”
Wen Qing looked at the sky and urged: "If you don't go back, there will be no good fruit to eat!" ”
Lin Tianwen was disappointed in his heart, he originally thought that he had met a master, but he didn't expect that he was a guy who loved to brag, so he said perfunctorily to Hu Yichen: "Old man, your name is like thunder, I have something to do, go first." After speaking, he followed Wen Qing and hurriedly trotted away outside the west gate of Tianshui City.
Hu Yichen looked at the backs of the two children, looked up at the towering lonely peak under the sunset, felt a lot of emotion in his heart, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.
