Chapter 1: The Storyteller
The general was born bold,
Waist horizontal autumn water goose feather knife. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The wind blows the drums and the mountains and rivers move,
The lightning flag is high in the sun and the moon.
The original species of the unicorn in the sky,
How can the ants in the burrow escape?
On the day of the return of the edict,
I untie the general's robes.
The storyteller said a set poem, slapped the bamboo board heavily, and asked everyone to suppress it. After listening to the poems, everyone who listened to the book quieted down, the melon seeds stopped knocking, the sound of chatting stopped, and they calmed down and listened to the storyteller's story.
The storyteller slapped the bamboo board again, which is called smashing in two ways, and the old gentleman is also called smashing the coffin. The average storyteller will only smash the board when the book is opened, and smashing it means that the storyteller can't hold down the scene, and the old gentleman will be angry if he sees a storyteller smashing more. But this person is different, his characteristic is to smash bamboo boards, and all the places that can be used between storytelling are used, and this time it has become his signature. said that the board in the emotional place was very lively, not only did he become popular, but even the Tingyu teahouse where he was talking about the book was also on fire. There is an endless stream of people who come every day, and one person wants a pot of tea and two dishes of radish, so that he can listen to it here for an afternoon with peace of mind.
There are many more people coming today than usual, and yesterday I just finished talking about a book of three "Xia Jian", and today I said that I want to open a new book at the beginning of the day, which is said to be something that no one has ever said. Hurry up here and hear what the hell is going on.
After clearing his throat, Qiao Shi opened the book and said: "Speaking of the general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time." Those who listen to the book know that the Tang Dynasty is now good, but there are constant wars in the vicinity. What we're going to talk about today is the chaos caused by this war. It's not far from us, just near Lin'an, all the way east. I can't say exactly where it is, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain it to people when they come to me. No, there was a young man who wanted to be a soldier, and it ended up causing a lot of jokes,"
The first sentence of the storyteller must be able to hook people's ears, in fact, the stories are made up by the storyteller, but if you add a little bit of reality, people will feel friendly when they listen to it. In just a few words, the whole spirit of the person is hooked.
Qiao Shi wanted to continue, but suddenly a few people came up, one of them covered Qiao Shi's bamboo board with a white cloth, and the remaining few surrounded Qiao Shi.
Qiao Shi was shocked, he was shocked when he listened to the book, and the shopkeeper behind him was also surprised. Needless to say, this is a smashing scene.
"What's the matter with the uncles?" Qiao Shi said.
Several people stood next to Qiao Shi with contemptuous eyes. Cover the board with a white cloth, which is to tell you not to tell the story here. Generally speaking, only local ruffians or peers can do this, ruffians are for money, and peers are for you. Qiao Shi has walked in major teahouses for many years, and he doesn't know how many boundaries he has walked with his master. At a glance, you can tell that these people are not ruffians, but a group of storytellers. When peers come to make trouble, they must ask where the teacher is, and you can only continue to say here if you are a person with a name, and they will compensate for all the losses. Otherwise, get out here with your head in your hands, and you will never set foot on this realm again in this life.
"You're talking nonsense here, what do you say?" One of them said.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper secretly called a few people in the back. This kind of teahouse must have a few people who can do things, most of them are cooks and long-term workers, who work on weekdays, and must be able to move forward when there is something. The shopkeeper waved his hand, and the cook behind him came out with two kitchen knives and stood behind the shopkeeper.
"A few people's words don't seem to be in the line, and I've been talking here for a long time, I don't know where to provoke a few masters?" Qiao Shi said.
"Hmph, you deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, this board is a good thing, where can you smash it like you. smashed it like this, didn't it all hit the coffin of the ancestor all at once? If you mess around like this, you're not afraid of people coming you? The man said angrily.
Qiao Shi now understood that these people were neither here to ask for money, nor to find his name. It must have been robbed by the storyteller of a teahouse next to him, so he came to smash his signboard. Qiao Shi was not in a hurry and said:
"I don't know who you are teaching from?"
"You have to take care of it!" Several people were furious.
"Several, when I was under Qiao, I learned from Yang and talked nonsense about Yang Guo. That's what I learned from my master, we're in this business, if you don't believe it, you can go back and ask your master, is it right for me to do this? ”
A few people who said these words were red-faced, and laymen couldn't understand it, but insiders understood it very well. This Yang is a well-known storyteller in the Tang Dynasty, and it can be said that he is the first few storytellers in the Tang Dynasty. Now Qiao Shi shows that he is Yang Nonsense's apprentice, that is to say, he is much higher than the generation of these people. When it comes to deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors, these people are completely unqualified.
"You..." Several people were speechless, angrily took the white cloth, and came out angrily.
The shopkeeper hurriedly came out in the back, and said in his mouth: "A few people don't send it away slowly, if he wants to hear it in the future, he will still come and go to praise business." ”
When he said this, the audience laughed loudly, and Qiao Shi also laughed, which eased the tense atmosphere just now. smashed the board again, spared a set poem, and then turned the atmosphere back.
Speaking of this book, it is still a familiar full house of applause. Qiao Shi slapped the board for the last time and said that he would decompose it next time. A group of people applauded thunderously, giving Qiao Shi enough face.
The listeners gradually finished walking, and the sky was already dark. Qiao Shi moved his body a few times, and this storytelling is also a hard work for an afternoon.
The shopkeeper came over with the money, and the daily tea money was divided into five or five accounts, saying that it would be settled once, and Qiao Shi's identity could not be invited to many teahouses, and the shopkeeper naturally did not care too much, and gave more every day.
After dividing the money, Qiao Shi also returned home with two turnips. At home, his wife has already prepared the meal and is waiting for her husband to return.
When I got home, I ate a few bites of rice and drank some rice wine. Storytellers like them are not allowed to drink alcohol, and the rice wine they drink is just something similar to wine, which does not hurt their throats and does not affect their heads, but it is also indescribably comfortable.
After eating comfortably, and chatting with his wife about the things that happened in the afternoon, Qiao Shi was ready to lie down and rest for a while. At this moment, the door of the house was kicked open, and the wooden door, which was not very sturdy in itself, creaked to the side.
Several people rushed in in an instant.
There are a few very strong people.
There are a few stronger ones.
Several men were armed with large knives.
Several people were armed with larger knives.
A stronger man with a bigger knife stood up, with a sideways face, and said, "Are you Qiao Shi?" ”
Qiao Shi was stunned, his legs trembling.
