Today's sky makes Li Deng feel a little weird, just now it was still the scene of the sun hanging obliquely, why didn't it take a while, the sky was dark. And it's not a "serious" sky, as if a burst of inky black clouds came from nowhere, directly covering the light?

There was a light rain last night, another in the morning, and when the sun was setting, it was suddenly dark again. This kind of bridge is definitely a vision from heaven in the Romance of Gods and Ghosts. If things continue to develop, it is estimated that it will be a scene of demons dancing wildly.

However, the story of a novel is a story of a novel after all, and Grandpa Huang has also said it, most of them are unsophisticated and unbelievable.

I heard Grandpa Huang say that although there are some little ghosts wandering around the town, the town is popular and can suppress evil spirits! As long as those little ghosts are sacrificed on time every year, there will be no big chaos, this town has been quiet for decades, and the people in the town and those wandering ghosts have always been peaceful.

Regarding today's vision, Li Deng didn't take it to heart, and the young man had already found the answer in his heart. According to a book that records astronomical knowledge in the money shop, this scene is indeed a celestial phenomenon, and it is well documented.

It may have been caused by the tides of heaven and earth, and according to the record in that book, the sky tilted to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars shifted. The land is not in the southeast, so the water and dust return.

With Li Deng's knowledge of half a bucket of water, he naturally couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but Grandpa Huang also gave an explanation, and the explanation was very simple, that is, the world is not flat, but high in the west and low in the east.

At that time, he also used the example of Grandpa Huang's eastward flow to prove it, saying that the trend of the big river, no matter where the general trend is to the east, but some tributaries will diverge from north to south or flow from east to west, those causes are because of the topography of one side, just like the stone road in the town, it looks smooth and flat from a distance, but it is actually uneven when you look closely, and those river tributaries are this reason, and there is also a difference between the high and low of the small plates, the water flows north when the south is high, and the water flows west when the east is high, but in general, these water flows to the east。

The old man also talked about a lot of astronomical knowledge, including the knowledge of the tides of heaven and earth, the length of the summer days and the short nights, and the eclipse of the tengu days.

However, what Li Deng was most curious about was the dog eating day that day, because the boy had never seen it.

The old man said that the Tengu Eclipse Day was a beautiful sight that could only be encountered for decades or even centuries, and he had not seen it for a long time.

In this town, it is indeed a beautiful scenery that does not see the Tengu eating day.

I think that today's night should be caused by the tides of heaven and earth, after all, that kind of majestic shore power can set off a great river, create a magnificent wave, and blow a cumulonimbus cloud should not be difficult.

Originally, the young man was still a little happy, but before the night came, the old shopkeeper found him and told him that he could go back first today, and it would not be too late to pack up the remaining paper money tomorrow, anyway, there would be no guests in the shop in the past two days.

But at this moment, Li Deng saw the ink-stained sky, and he was a little worried. Looking at it like this, it is estimated that there will be a rare wind and rain in the world tonight, and the book that records astronomy and geography also says that when the tides of heaven and earth come, there are many violent storms and rains, like a mighty wind and rain master patrolling the territory.

After autumn, the rain gets colder, and one is still better. Pity his family, I really don't know if I can resist the wind, the tiles on the house are the old tiles that other people's houses don't want to renovate, and then blow a few pieces over the wind, but it's not a scene of heavy rain outside the house and a light rain inside the house.

Li Deng came to the front of the house and prayed in a low voice, "Don't cry, don't cry." If I really want to cry, I should cry sooner so that I can go to the shop and make a bunk. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Deng opened the door and entered the house, put a can of lamp oil on the table, and sat down.

The room is simple and tidy, the room is small, and there are naturally few belongings. Li Deng added lamp oil to the lamp lamp in the dark, and then thought about it, but still did not light the oil lamp, the oil lamp was lit all night last night, and now I feel a little distressed when I think about it.

I always felt that it was not yet time to eat, so the boy was not in a hurry to prepare the food, and just sat there.

Li Deng remembered the scene he saw on the street today, and his heart became a little timid. Then he comforted himself, those are all hallucinations, just a glimpse, not real, the shouting is also a little ethereal and illusory, and then look at the group of caravans, I didn't see anything strange, it must be that I didn't sleep all night last night, tired!

The young man grinned suddenly, remembering that Grandpa Huang used to say, this young man, if you often see hallucinations, it is a sign of premature aging, but some young people do often see some hallucinations, normal and normal, young people, who doesn't have an impulse.

Li Deng asked the old man curiously, and the old man explained in a whisper, Li Deng was quite fond of listening to it at the time, but after thinking about it, he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Li Deng asked himself, we haven't done anything invisible to people.

The body is not afraid of the shadow slanted!

But the boy thought about it for a while, why did he think about it now?

No, you can't!

It's a shame that the boy hasn't done this kind of thing, otherwise he wouldn't have any blessings to drink the golden thread chrysanthemum in the courtyard of the lamp shop.

Some things are like a flood beast, once you think about it, it will be out of control, the boy thought about it, this... My breathing was slowly rapid, and I was restless.

The boy quickly changed his mind and looked at the pitch-black roof. When you have money in the future, you will renovate the house first, and you have to be extra careful with the roof, only using new tiles is not enough, you should make an oilwood beam, which can prevent insects and moisture, and also lay a layer of oiled paper under the tiles, and then lay a layer of oily wood, especially rainproof, but also neat and beautiful.

It is better to have a larger beam head, not only will it not be deformed for a long time, but it can also provide shelter for those returning swallows at the beginning of spring, so that those homeless swallows can have a comfortable place to live like themselves.

Repair the roof first and then the wall, and you will be busy on the way to riches.

To repair the wall, you have to learn from those solid people, you have to pay attention to it, first use grass and mud to build a good prototype, and then build a layer of thin bricks, such a house is not only beautiful, but also warm in winter and cool in summer, cold and heat do not invade.

The ground should also be neatly coded, it is best to buy some oil painted pattern stone bricks, porcelain colored bricks are not needed, flashy and honest, but also spend a lot of money.

Then ask Uncle Yin to create a few decent home decorations, since the houses are so good, it is impossible not to add some decent home decorations. The home decoration must be carved, and it is all in the style you like.

Uncle Yin has helped himself a lot over the years, but he has never taken care of his business, and he has carved a pair of spirit cards for his parents very carefully, and he is always a little unhappy in his heart. So in terms of family design, the boy didn't think about saving, and he had the right to give back to the man for taking care of him intentionally or unintentionally for so many years.

There is another thing that should also be paid attention to, that is, the pot stove must be equipped with a bellows.

Every time I see a pillar of smoke on someone else's chimney, what the boy wants most is to have a big bellows on his stove.

The reason why the teenager wants a big bellows is that he still wants to have a full meal and no longer worry about food.

In the town, if anyone can have a big bellows, it is a family that does not worry about food.

Since Li Deng sold the ancestral house, what he missed the most was to be able to buy the ancestral house back, but after seeing the ancestral house being renovated, the boy knew that this dream was shattered. So he wanted to rely on his own labor to accumulate a house that was not inferior to the scale of the ancestral house.

Put a long case in the house, put nothing on it, put the parents' spirit card and incense burner, and burn three incense sticks for the parents every morning and evening.

Thinking of this, the young man actually laughed to himself, as if this day was coming soon.

Renovating your home is a big expense, and you don't know how much money you've saved.

So Li Deng lit the lamp, got up and went under the bed to find a clay pot that was tightly hidden. Li Deng put the clay pot on the table, uncovered the strip of cloth, took away the yellow paper talisman, and carefully held the copper coin on the table.

Every time he took out a handful of copper coins, the boy's smile brightened a little, and finally a small pile of copper coins appeared on the table.

The yellow paper talisman was specially purchased by the teenager from the money shop, this talisman is not cheap, it costs ten cents, Grandpa Huang said that there is no less copper plate for sale, this kind of money guarding the talisman is very expensive, it can help take care of the money, and can prevent those who like to steal money from the little devils to carry the money, as long as this talisman is pasted on the treasury or clay pot, even if those who steal money are bold, they dare not approach the slightest.

Although the price of this talisman is very expensive, Li Deng still made the most of it and bought two, twenty yuan is a lot, but think about it, if all the belongings he has worked hard to accumulate are emptied by some money-stealing ghosts overnight, it will not be a matter that can be solved by twenty yuan.

Moreover, the old shopkeeper also said that these two winning talismans can be used for a long time, and the aura above them will not dissipate for ten or eight years. Li Deng thought about it, this is equivalent to almost a penny a year, but in fact, he feels that it is not so expensive.

Li Deng also knew that this talisman was not expensive at all for ten yuan, but it was still very cheap. The books in the money shop say that these talismans for guarding money and wealth are said to be collected by large families, and the vaults are full of them inside and outside. The price of those talismans is also outrageous, often dozens of taels of silver, if this is converted into copper coins, how much does it cost?

It should be a lot.

Li Deng carefully put this talisman on the table, if he accidentally broke the talisman, after the seal on the talisman broke, this talisman would be scrapped, and the ten cents would be lost. After the young man put the talisman on the table, he twisted a copper plate and pressed it, and put the clay pot at his feet.

In order to prevent mistakes in the middle, every time the boy puts in a stick of money, he takes out a copper coin from the small pile of money on the table and puts it next to it to count, and finally takes out a few copper coins is a few burn coins, that is, hundreds of Wen.

A small pile of copper coins was skillfully twisted up at the fingertips of the young man, and judging from the skillful movements of the young man, there should be no few of these coins on weekdays.

Soon the pile of copper coins was empty, and when the count was final, there was less than a burn of copper coins left, fifty-seven copper coins.

Then the boy counted thirteen more copper coins for counting.

The total is 1,370 copper coins, Li Deng smiled, it was really a lot.

These copper coins are just the belongings that have been accumulated recently, and there is a clay pot buried in a corner of the courtyard of the house, which is not copper coins, but broken silver with white flowers.

Grains of broken silver looked as brilliant as pearls, and there was also a talisman in that clay pot.

Li Deng didn't dig out the clay pot buried deep in the wall, and Li Deng knew the broken silver inside.

Li Deng thought about it for a while, and decided to take out a thousand wen tomorrow to exchange one or two pieces of silver with the old shopkeeper, so that there would be eight grains in the clay pot at the base of the wall.

Eight grains of broken silver are eight taels, and they are all the savings of the young man except for this dilapidated house.

After counting the copper coins, Li Deng hugged the clay pot on the table again, and when he was about to pick up the talisman, the young man's eyes lit up, and there was a copper coin on the talisman, which was just used to cover the talisman.

The appearance of this copper coin is like a windfall, Li Deng twisted the copper coin and put it into the clay pot, then covered the talisman, and sealed the talisman with a strip of cloth, so that the clay pot was hidden under the bed.

Li Deng blew out the oil lamp, walked out of the room and looked at the sky, the sky was as dark as ever, like faint ink. The breeze is blowing, it's not too cold, and I don't think it will rain tonight.

The young man's mood improved, and he was ready to find some japonica rice for cooking.

......

Inside the lamp shop, a lamp was blazing, the breeze occasionally teased the flames, and a large swaying ripple gently swayed away, and the whole shop seemed to be occupied by a ghost.

The old shopkeeper sat behind the counter, his cold face was angular in the light of the firelight, like an old pedant immersed in learning.

But there was an old pedant in the shop, the storyteller who often told stories on street corners. At this time, the storyteller was holding a book in his hand, and looked at a collection of miscellaneous stories by the faint light of the fire, but this storyteller did not read books like the old man who asked for money to buy ten lines at a glance, and the old man read the book very carefully, as if he was checking and filling in the gaps.

Some habits are difficult to break once they are formed, and no matter how young he is, this storyteller is still meticulous about books.

In the whole town, except for these old ministers who died in the country, the rest were all walking meat. But this storyteller is still talking about books for decades, to whom?

The storyteller closed the book and said, "I'm afraid it's not good to let that bull nose see so many secrets?"

The old shopkeeper came back to his senses from his contemplation and said, "I may not be as good as you in terms of learning, but in the way of deduction, you are not of the best use for ten. ”

The storyteller smiled and nodded, the old shopkeeper was right, he was indeed inferior to this war drummer in the way of deduction.

The old shopkeeper explained: "If he is not allowed to see more secrets, how can he destroy his state of mind? If his state of mind is not broken, sooner or later the lamp will let him put on a show after he leaves the town." At that time, it is estimated that the lantern will face an extremely dangerous situation. ”

The storyteller still nodded, and what the old shopkeeper said was true.

The old shopkeeper said contemptuously: "If he wants to see it, let him see it, after reading this, his state of mind must be on the verge of being broken, and when the real result surfaces, his crumbling state of mind should be broken." ”

Then the old shopkeeper looked up at the storyteller, "Most people who are good at deduction can't escape the end of madness, do you think he will be an exception?"

Mr. Storyteller did not speak.

The old shopkeeper didn't mention this stubble anymore, and changed the topic and said: "The outside world is sinister, and hundreds of schools of thought are competing, even if that group of thieves and the Kou Dynasty have no way to take these hundred schools, the rules and regulations are just a useless piece of empty paper, and they can't restrain the hundreds of schools vying for power at all." Deng'er walks this trip alone, and it is inevitable that he will not be surprised. ”

Mr. Storyteller nodded in agreement, "Do you need me to accompany the lamp first?"

The old shopkeeper nodded, looking sad, "I want to completely sit in this world, and the old man of Huang Hong will also stabilize the new space next, and General Yin Hong will not be able to free up his hand because of those wooden armor troops, only you will accompany Deng'er to go this way." ”

The old man said, "It's all right, it should have been my responsibility. ”

The old shopkeeper smiled and said, "Yes, if you don't accompany Deng'er for a while, even if we old guys admit that you are the prince, I'm afraid you don't want to admit it yourself." Scholars, some of my thoughts are different from those of my generation of martial artists, especially in terms of teaching and educating people. ”

The storyteller smiled and said, "It's almost the same, but it won't be as penchant for overcorrection as your martial artists." ”

The old shopkeeper did not refute Mr. Storyteller, a scholar is just a scholar after all, he doesn't know the sinister nature of the battlefield, and how can a martial artist survive on the battlefield if he is not harsh.

Even some martial artists with excellent luck have bad luck in hundreds of battles.

The old shopkeeper said: "I don't understand your teaching methods, but I have only one request for you, don't let the lamp die in the hands of those hundred monks." ”

The storyteller smiled, signaled to reassure the old shopkeeper, and said, "I know, according to your martial arts, even if Deng'er dies, he should die in the battle of conquest!"

The old shopkeeper did not speak, but fell into deep thought again.
