If Yuantong had a beard, he must have been blown to the sky by Ling Yang by now: "Did you kid grow up eating dirty things, why does your mouth stink like this, and you don't hurt people and don't speak." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info My Buddha is merciful, the eighteen layers of hell are plucking tongues and teeth, it seems that you are destined to go on a journey. ”

Ling Yang spit out the toothpick, and suddenly said mysteriously: "Master, you don't know, I now have the dual ability of an influencer and a learner at the same time, and in a few years I can grow into the kind of leader you just said, who can dig mountains and reclaim the sea, go to the queen mother's backyard to set up a tent and camp, go to the Buddha's vegetable garden to barbecue and drink, they don't dare to care about me, you say that hell has eighteen or nineteen layers, will I care?" ”

Master Yuantong was laughed at by Ling Yang, and quickly recited the heart-clearing mantra a few times: "Don't blow it, you kid, the monks don't speak, and secular people can't talk so much......"

The two of them were talking to you, and I was making a fuss, and there was a quarrel in the sleeper compartment. It seems that someone broke into the soft sleeper box, and the conductor who was packing his luggage wanted to drive people out of the box, so he got into a quarrel for a while.

There is only one compartment in the soft sleeper box, which has been completely wrapped by Liao San'er, and there are no other idlers in it except for Ling Yang and the brothers around him.

Ling Yang listened carefully for a while, and seemed to feel that the passenger who rushed in rashly had a somewhat familiar voice, and after listening carefully, it turned out that the passenger was originally in the hard-seat carriage next to the soft sleeper, because he was dissatisfied with the water in the box spreading into the carriage he was in, so he ran over to reason with the conductor, saying that he wanted the conductor to vacate a bed in the box to compensate him for the loss.

Ling Yang walked over from the dining car, only to see a lame old man on crutches, his face was dark, with a huge bag behind him, carrying a small ear iron pot in his hand, and a few shiny iron patches at the bottom of the pot, arguing with two conductors, a man and a woman.

Although the old man's face was covered with black ash and he couldn't tell what his appearance was, Ling Yang still recognized at a glance from the familiar voice and the old man's lame leg that it was the trapped beast that was fighting with him in the dry grass town, rushed up in three steps and two steps, grabbed the trapped beast's hand and said in surprise: "Old man, why are you here?" ”

The trapped beast smiled slightly at Ling Yang: "I was worried about whether you had been drowned, so I rushed over to take a look." ”

Ling Yang heard what the trapped beast said, and hurriedly pulled the trapped beast to the dining car, while instructing his brothers to leave a lower bunk for the trapped beast. Seeing that the trapped beast and Ling Yang were old acquaintances, the conductor secretly scolded himself for being nosy, and was still busy cleaning up the stagnant water on the ground and replacing the wet bedding on the bed.

The trapped beast seemed to be so hungry that it didn't even have time to use its chopsticks, grabbed the food from Lingyang's plate, stuffed it into its mouth and chewed it like a cloud.

Seeing this, Ling Yang hurriedly asked the conductor to prepare a few more meals, and pushed the food that Chu Wanyi hadn't touched much in front of him to the trapped beast: "Old man, eat slowly, don't choke, drink some water, there is still wine." ”

The sleepy beast ate for most of the day without raising its head, swept away the food in front of him, and drank even the remaining half bottle of soju to the point that there was not a drop left, before he took out the cigarette bag pot from his arms, and spit out the mist with satisfaction.

The trapped beast smokes dry tobacco, and after harvesting the green leaves from the field, it is dried and directly kneaded into tobacco without any processing. The strong spicy smell of dry smoke permeated the carriage, Chu Wanyi was choked and coughed repeatedly, and a lot of smoke was wrapped in the respiratory tract and lung lobes, but she couldn't say how useful it was, and she felt that her spirit was much better.

Yuantong carefully sniffed the smoke in the air, and chanted the Buddha: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground." The old donor's tobacco seems to have added some forage, this hobby hurts the body very much, the old donor should quit as soon as possible. ”

Ling Yang then remembered that the trapped beast loved tobacco and soil, and there must have been something special added to the dry smoke. For the supernatural, psychotropic drugs are difficult to become addicted to the biological laws of the body, but Chu Wanyi is delicate after all, and she doesn't know whether she should be classified into the camp of the supernatural, so she still snatched the cigarette pouch in the hand of the trapped beast: "Old man, don't smoke, let's get down to business!" ”

The trapped beast didn't think it was angry, and laughed: "Okay, if there's anything serious, you can say it." ”

Ling Yang pressed his thumb on the cigarette pouch pot, extinguished the coals in the cigarette pot, pointed to the iron pot on the ground and said, "Old man, why did you start this business?" ”

The land of the Southern Dynasties was sparsely populated, and there were very few iron ores produced, and almost all iron products had to be imported from fraternal countries. Therefore, in the folk of the Southern Dynasties, an iron pot for cooking and boiling water was one of the very important fixed assets of an ordinary family.

Some foreign lawbreakers saw that the iron products of the Southern Dynasties were expensive and in demand, and dumped some large iron barrels containing highly toxic chemicals into thick iron sheets, soaked in sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, calcined into simple iron pots, and dumped them into the people of the Southern Dynasties at low prices.

This kind of iron pot, because of its high quality and low price, was generally accepted by the people of the Southern Dynasties. However, the disadvantage is that after heating, it will produce a pungent chemical and strong acid smell, which must be buried in the ashes of plants and trees for a period of time, and then boiled in boiling water repeatedly, and then used the fat of the meat skin and fat to be boiled and rubbed repeatedly until the odor no longer emits.

This kind of rough iron pot, because the thickness of the iron sheet is not enough, after the pot is boiled, it is easy to burn holes in the bottom of the pot, and it is reluctant to discard it, so there is a very popular profession among the people of the Southern Dynasties, called the pot mending man.

The person who mends the pot is generally alone, with the four seas as his home, carrying a patched iron pot as a signboard, beating with a wooden stick and walking through the streets and alleys. Once there is a business to the door, it will be lit on the spot, and a pot of "gold juice" will be brewed, which is actually the juice of aluminum-iron alloy, and the leaky pot will be placed in a mold made of wood frame and fine sand, and the gold juice will be filled with holes, and after cooling, it will be polished smoothly, and it can also be used for several more years.

Because the income of the pot meager and the money earned every day is only enough to make ends meet, most of the old people who have no wife and no children are willing to do this profession. Seeing that the trapped beast had fallen to such a point, Ling Yang's heart was miserable, and he almost burst into tears: "Old man, if you don't dislike it, I will settle you in a friend's house in Jiangjie City to support your old age, don't come out and suffer again." ”

The trapped beast stepped on the iron pot with a lame leg, patted the back of Ling Yang's hand kindly, and said proudly: "Although I have broken the rules of the rivers and lakes in the Nanpu area, I have gotten mixed up to such a point. This outfit is just to hide people's eyes, and it is the identity that those people specially arranged for me. ”
