Chapter 20: The Moving Wooden Man

The comb seller's secret thought: I don't know that I am the god and Buddha on the road today, and I didn't worship it, and I saw the two fierce gods and evil hum two people going back and forth in the future. Those big girls and little daughters-in-law saw these two big men from a distance, where did they dare to step forward, and hid aside early. The comb seller was a young man, and he was so anxious that he wiped his hands: "Is this carved flower good?" Big girl, look, how bright is this color? ”

Zhong Min also squatted down and looked through it, and the broken flowers of the comb were painted in various colors. Xiaoyu looked at the comb in his hand and explained softly: "I want to pick another one for my second sister-in-law, she has a calm personality." ”

The comb seller hurriedly took a carved magnolia flower, the leaves on both sides were carved green, and the white magnolia flower with a gold border in the middle was also elegant. Xiaoyu hesitated: "This comb doesn't have a handle, I'm afraid it's not so convenient to use." ”

The comb seller hurriedly said: "Big sister, don't you know, this married woman is all in a bun at the back of her head, you see this comb is inserted in the back, it is beautiful and convenient." I'll tell you the truth, that's how my new daughter-in-law dresses up. The daughter-in-law who sold the comb couldn't help but show a little joy.

Xiaoyu thought about it, it seemed that her sister-in-law combed her hair like this, but her comb was black, and the flowers on it were too hard to see. Xiaoyu simply picked a few more for the other sisters-in-law. Inevitably, he had to bargain again, and the comb seller endured the distress, folded and folded Xiaoyu, and finally sent Xiaoyu away.

The second brother was not happy to see that he had sold so many combs, and knew that he had not made any money, so he gave seven or eight more copper plates before leaving.

The comb seller was overjoyed, and thanked him repeatedly, and he didn't feel that the second brother was a door god at this time: "Oh, this is really ...... You're good to go, and if you use it well, come back. After saying that, he regretted it a little, so he hurriedly lowered his head and took out a few combs from the cloth, picked them out and put them in the vacant place, and shouted loudly.

The girls and daughters-in-law who had just avoided came over curiously at this time, and someone inquired about Xiaoyu: "It looks like a foreigner, maybe it's a passerby, right?" ”

"It's really rare for such a clever boy to pick a comb."

The comb seller said, "It was picked by his sister-in-law, and this is it, and he said that this comb looks dignified and generous when inserted in the back." He pushed the flower again and said, "He said this is too bright, and it is just right for the little girl, but unfortunately he doesn't have a girl, so he didn't buy it." “

So a handsome daughter-in-law reached out and touched the white magnolia flower on the bun, and the sister-in-law next to her nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, this is really beautiful." “

The sister-in-law smiled and touched her sideburns and said to her sister-in-law, "You really have some eyesight." He took the flower to her: "A little girl like you is going to use a comb like this." When the others saw it, they tried it too.

The comb seller was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and Yang Baochen, who was walking behind, was also familiar with their brothers and sisters, so he learned to Xiaoyu disappreciatively: "You squatted there and didn't see it, if it weren't for me and your brother, I would have bombarded you and left." He whispered to the second brother: "His capital is always back, and he has to make up a few coppers for what he does." ”

Xiaoyu was fiddling with the combs and ignored them. But the second brother patted him on the shoulder and said: "We go to the rivers and lakes to do business with them for the same reason, and we all pay attention to harmony and make money." Do you know why Xiaoyu can't trust you? It's not because you didn't have a merchant surnamed Zhang at the time. ”

Yang Baochen's face was hot when he said this, and the second brother continued: "You must think, what can she do to you as a little hairy child who has not dried up, and what is the result?" It's not that I've planted a big heel, it's not my boast of being a brother, my sister still hasn't used ten out of ten skills. However, she also pays attention to being kind and making money, and only asks you to be her apprentice. Then my brethren will not provoke you. Whether you are hindering your reputation or being entrusted by others, you have to protect her. Isn't this just convenient for others and convenient for yourself. ”

At this point, Yang Baochen was sincerely convinced: "The second brother's methods, my brother has learned it." Sister Ling and I are both masters and apprentices, and unless I die in the future, others don't want to take advantage of her. “

The second brother was happy when he heard the flutter, and thought: "Sure enough, in this world, fish are looking for fish, shrimp are looking for shrimp, Xiaoyu is a person who refuses to eat at all, and he accepted an apprentice like this." “

Yang Baochen only thought that the second brother didn't believe him, but he didn't care. The so-called road knows the horsepower, and it has seen the hearts of the people for a long time, and it is useless to say more now: "I don't know how the second brother looks at the tracks?" “

The second brother smiled faintly but didn't say anything.

Yang Baochen admired the second brother more and more in his heart, and he didn't dare to make a mistake. As everyone knows, the second brother thought the same as Xiaoyu, and pondered for the past few days, seeing that Yang Baochen didn't seem to be a fake to Xiaoyu, so he changed his thinking, and it was just a lie. Sure enough, Yang Baochen was a thief, and he admitted it at the slightest hint. Because he looks like he came out of the army, he just doesn't know if it's the Lan family or the Xingwang people.

Not far ahead, there were monkeys, people were crowded, and people crowded around a few times. Xiaoyu heard the sound of gongs and drums, hurriedly put away the comb, and ran over happily. Standing on tiptoe and stretching his neck, he saw that the little monkey was wearing a red shirt and holding a fan in his hand, swaying and swaying, which was cute. Xiaoyu hurriedly turned his head and shouted, "Second brother, Brother Yang......"

Turning his mind, he remembered that Yang Baochen was already his apprentice, and it was not appropriate to call him Brother Yang again. Yang Baochen was also embarrassed, and couldn't help but blame himself in his heart, the innocent little girl is just smarter, if she hadn't acted recklessly, she wouldn't have made the identities of the two people so twisted.

Just thinking about it, Xiaoyu smiled on his face, and shouted again from his master's shelf: "Baochen, come on, this monkey is fun." ”

Yang Baochen's huge body shook, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Xiaoyu asked with concern, "You don't like to call you like that?" Do you want me to think of another name? ”

Yang Baochen couldn't help but smile bitterly and replied, "Master, Master." ”

Xiaoyu hurriedly waved his hand: "Just call it Xia Jiu, Xia Jiu is very good." You call me Master, and I still treat you as a monkey. Then wouldn't I have become a great monk? Remembering the book he had just listened to, he couldn't help but sigh and squeeze into the crowd behind his second brother and Yang Baochen.

Xiaoyu asked Yang Baochen: "I don't know if that great monk came to Tianzhu Kingdom later." He recited a spell and drove him away, and I think he was going to be eaten by the goblins. ”

Yang Baochen lowered his head and replied, "What's so difficult about this." Master, I'll get that old man for you later, and tell him to finish telling you. ”

Xiaoyu shook her head angrily: "You can't teach your son." If he won't tell me, will you beat him up? Baochen, don't take the good as small, don't take the evil as small. There are many things in this world that don't suit my heart, and if something doesn't go my way, I will shout and kill, and then I will not be far from death. ”

As soon as Yang Baochen wanted to say that he swore to protect her, Xiaoyu shook his finger and said, "You have read few books, and you don't understand what self-denial and etiquette are." ”

Yang Baochen hurriedly said: "I know this, just to warn myself not to do what I want." ”

Xiaoyu was also transparent when she saw him: "It's probably not wrong, it's just that this is an excuse to warn you not to let others do what they want." Yang," Xiaoyu paused, and said earnestly, "Baochen, your kung fu is also good, why don't you go to the north alone?" ”

Yang Baochen was stunned for a moment, a trace of imperceptible hesitation flashed on his face, and he was just about to say what he had said before, but Xiaoyu had already seen it, and said with a secret smile in his heart: "You also know that you are outnumbered, and you can see that you are not completely stupid, no matter how great your ability is, there are times when you can't cover it." For the sake of a book, such a trivial matter as a comb provokes resentment, and over time it accumulates public anger and loses his life. How can there be such a big hero in the world? ”

"You say the comb seller is impatient with me. I, Xia Jiuye, just bought a comb, since I bought it according to my own heart. Why care about such trivial things. If you can not stick to such a trivial matter, you will find that you and your second brother are too fierce and delay other people's business. ”

Yang Baochen secretly thought that this was also reasonable: "If I didn't care about Chen Peng's expressions that day, I wouldn't have thought about it indiscriminately, and I mistakenly thought that Xiaoyu had learned that set of boxing in advance." Just thinking about it, a young man in his early twenties next to him high-fived and said, "I didn't expect to meet such an insightful handsome man here." This little brother, surnamed Xu, lives in Yonggu. I don't know the little brother's surname. ”

Xiaoyu's face was hot, and he thought badly, and he went crazy if he didn't pay attention, so he had to turn around and replied: "Don't take the nonsense of the mountain village husband to heart." Saying that, the monkey show was embarrassed to watch it again, and hurriedly walked out, the second brother pinched a few copper coins and threw them away, only to see the copper coins falling into the small gong opposite the field with a strong wind.

Xu Liangqi couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw it, and said in his heart that his uncle was the head of the academy, what kind of characters have not been seen, these four people are both literate and martial, and they are the children of some family in the north.

Xiaoyu walked a few steps and saw a thin man sitting on the ground on the side of the road, the man's face was extremely thin, as if someone had squeezed it on the crack of the door. In front of him, a piece of white silk was spread on the ground, and the dazzling light was reflected in the sun, and Xiaoyu couldn't help but stop and look over.

I saw a wooden villain sitting on the white silk, wearing a gray-white cloth dress, with a white belt tied around his waist, and the lean man raised his hand and shouted: "Get up!" ”。 The little man stood up, and the onlookers were amazed. Xiaoyu also walked over curiously, and Xu Liangqi wanted to associate with Xiaoyu, so he also brought his family to follow.

The man shouted again, "Go! This time, I didn't see the man's movements, and the puppet staggered away.

Xiaoyu stroked her chin and squatted down, staring intently, and didn't see the mechanism for a long time. The little man took a few steps and sat down with a click. The crowd burst out laughing. The puppet seemed to be angry, and jumped to the ground.

Everyone was so frightened that they were silent when they saw this villain dancing strangely.

Xiaoyu saw that the man was quite far away from the villain, and felt strange in her heart, and thought that there would never be such a strange thing in this world. Thinking like this, he suddenly stretched out his index finger and picked it in front of the villain, and the villain suddenly hung in mid-air, and the thin man who was sitting changed his face and narrowed his eyes. Xiaoyu quickly retracted his hand, took out a few copper coins from his waist and threw them away, and said loudly: "I'm sorry." Before the words fell, the person had already stood up, glanced at the second brother, and ran away.
