"I've reminded you a long time ago, there are a lot of old things in ordinary people, why do you have to touch those Laoshzi?" The middle-aged uncle echoed.

"Huh...... I remembered, remembered. The young stall owner said perfunctorily.

No matter what time a person is, he will only die if he hits the south wall or jumps the Yellow River.

Fang Monan knew that it was useless to talk too much, so he looked at his uncle and said, "Uncle, where is your weapon!" ”

"Oh! Here it is! The uncle picked up a large pile of copper coins, took out a dagger from it and handed it to Fang Monan.

Fang Monan looked at the gilded dagger in his hand, pinched the copper scabbard with one hand and pulled it out, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it was not that this dagger was too sharp, but it was covered with rust and looked tattered.

This is not the main thing, the main thing is that there is a little bit of golden light on it when you look closely.

This is clearly a dagger wrapped in a talisman, no wonder it feels so small. Fang Monan looked at the scabbard, it turned out that the problem was here! There is a sigil seal on the inner layer of the scabbard, which suppresses the evil spirit.

However, this talisman is obviously about to be unable to suppress this evil aura, "Interesting? Fang Menan raised his eyebrows, a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.

Fang Monan clearly felt the extremely faint yin fluctuations coming from this dagger.

Fang Monan raised his eyes and looked at the uncle and asked, "You put this talisman seal in the copper sheath." ”

"Little girl, I didn't expect you to know the art of Feng Shui." The middle-aged uncle then said, "That's right, I found this talisman in the Baiyun Temple in the capital, and this weapon itself is a killing weapon, and it came out of the soil." In line with the attitude of preferring to believe in what it has and not believing in it, I asked for a talisman from the old Taoist of Baiyun Temple. The middle-aged uncle laughed.

Fang Mo Nan slandered in his heart, it is really thanks to your attitude, just the evil aura emitted by this dagger now, ordinary people can generally withstand it, if it is weak or there is a patient in the family, it will be even worse.

Fang Monan looked at this dagger carefully, and from the place where the blade of the dagger was exposed, he could see that it was a copper short sword, but the lines on it had a golden luster. In ancient times, bronze weapons generally contained an alloy of three metal elements: copper, tin, and chromium. Strictly speaking. This is supposed to be an alloy shortsword.

Fang Monan's eyes lit up. With a fingertip pinch of the void, he made a talisman and struck at the dagger, locking up the evil qi that was overflowing out.

"Uncle, make a price! I want this thing. Fang Menan said with a dagger.

"Ugh!" The middle-aged uncle raised his eyes and said, "Little girl, you really want it." ”

"It's hard to do. Also fake. Uncle. You make an offer! Fang Menan said with a smile. She will accept the price of the uncle, this kind of weapon is hard to find.

"Uncle Zhang! What else? Offer! The young stall owner tugged at his sleeve.

"Oh! You give 10,000 yuan. Uncle Zhang stretched out a finger and said.

Fang Monan wanted to ask where there was a bank. Before he could speak, the young stall owner next to him said vigorously, "Little girl, the price of the things that Uncle Zhang sells is very fair, you look at the dagger unearthed in the Han Dynasty." The price of bronze has been rising for the past two years. ”

Fang Monan couldn't cry or laugh, "I want to ask you where you have a bank, I have to go to the bank to withdraw money!" I didn't have that much cash with me. ”

"Hehe......" the two scratched their heads in embarrassment.

Fang Monan actually wanted to say that this was too cheap, and he always felt like he had taken a big advantage, and he felt uneasy! That is cheap in Fang Menan's eyes, with the current salary of two hundred yuan per month, it is not cheap.

Fang Monan raised his eyes to look at the middle-aged uncle, his eyebrow bones were thin and narrow, and there was a hint of sadness between his eyebrows, presumably someone in the family had been ill for a long time. Thinking about it, "Uncle Zhang, right!" Look at your frowns, you must have a sick person at home! ”

"That's right! Aunt Zhang's illness is not light? Let's not talk about being sick in bed all year round! But I don't have any ability to work, and I can't get better no matter how much medicine I take. There are many children in the family, and the burden of the family is on his shoulders alone. The young stall owner said, "Let's not talk about being rich and rich!" can also have no worries about food and clothing, but look at Uncle Zhang, he is obviously only forty years old, but he can look at the sixty-year-old man. ”

"Second son, what are you talking about!" Uncle Zhang scolded softly. "Don't listen to him! It's not a serious illness. ”

"I forgot to introduce myself, I know a little bit about the art of Qihuang, I don't know if I can take a look." Fang Monan said with a smile, his smile exuded a trace of warmth, and he couldn't bear to refuse. "By the way, I'll give you the money."

"Uncle Zhang, let the family take a look! I don't have to lose anything. The stall owner next to him also persuaded.

"Alright then!" Uncle Zhang cleaned up his stall.

Following Uncle Zhang out of Pan's home, Fang Monan and the others watched him roll out a tricycle from the place where he was kept.

"Uncle Zhang, you better put the car back! We have cars. Fang Menan hurriedly said, this cold day, the sky is overcast, and it is cold when you look at it! Riding a tricycle is simply to find guilt.

"Okay......" Uncle Zhang poured well, pushed the car back in, and put it away. The three of them walked to the side of the car, Uncle Zhang's eyes shrank violently, this is a military vehicle, and there are many big bosses who can afford to drive a car these years, but there are really not many who can drive a military vehicle around.

Military cards always carry a sense of mystery, and ordinary people have little contact, so they are mysterious.

"Uncle Zhang! Did you eat at noon? Fang Monan sat in the passenger seat and twisted his body and asked.

"Eat! Eaten! Uncle Zhang said busily.

Fang Monan knew that he hadn't eaten when he looked at him, so he glanced at He Junyao, he understood, parked the car in front of a roadside restaurant, got out of the car and bought some meat buns, "I went shopping at noon, and I forgot to eat, eat some first, and pad my stomach." ”

Fang Monan put on a plastic bag, took out five large meat buns, and handed them to Uncle Zhang, "You can eat too, there are so many of us, the two of us can't finish eating, it's not a good waste!" ”

"Good! Good! Thank you, little girl! Uncle Zhang ate the big bun in his hand with a plastic bag, his eyes were moist, and tears flowed down.

Where in his heart did he not know that people were deliberately buying more, who could eat so many meat buns!

Fang Monan took the bun and handed it to He Junyao, who opened his mouth and bit off a third.

"How's it going, doesn't it taste good?" Fang Menan said with a smile.

He Junyao nodded.

According to Uncle Zhang's directions, the car stopped at the mouth of the alley.

"Uncle Zhang, you live here?" Fang Monan found that there was an area of courtyard houses in front of her, which was very old compared to the courtyard houses she had seen so far, and during the school period, there was no children's play, but it was very quiet here.

"This place belongs to the outer city in the Qing Dynasty!" He Junyao said.

When people show how much they know about the history of the capital, they always like to say the last sentence: "The east is rich and the west is expensive, the south is poor and the north is cheap." In addition to this sentence, there is another sentence called "The east city is rich and the west city is wide, and Chongwen is poor and Xuanwu is broken". These two sentences summarize the pattern of the capital at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. This sentence can only be limited to the outer city. The so-called "outer city" is relative to the "inner city".

"Outer City", that is, Xuanwu Gate, Qianmen, south of Chongwen Gate; Guang'anmen, Yongdingmen, Guangqumen north of the range.

In the Qing Dynasty, the inner city was inhabited by the children of the Eight Banners, all of whom were Manchurian nobles, so there was no such thing as rich and poor, they were all hardcore crops, how could they be poor? The words "rich and poor" refer to people who live in outer cities. They are all inhabited by poor families.

There is also a characteristic proverb in the capital that is, "the east city is cloth, silk, and corn, the west city is cattle, horses, firewood, charcoal, the south city is fowl, fish, flowers and birds, the north city is well-dressed thieves, and the middle city is splendid." There are two sayings about the middle city mentioned here: one is the Forbidden City, which is the center of the capital and the imperial city, just as Emperor Zhengde said in the Peking Opera "Dragon Opera" that "there is a small circle in the big circle, and a yellow circle in the small circle", there is the emperor's residence here. There are also three major halls that deal with government affairs, and countless jewels and brocades have gathered in them. Another said that the middle city is the area of Qianmen Street, there are many theaters and gold shops, silver buildings, money houses and silk shops such as Ruifuxiang, so it is said that it is "pearl and jade splendor", Nancheng because it is close to the flower town - loess gang, at the same time in the north of the Temple of Heaven, there is a goldfish pond, so there is "birds, fish, flowers and birds" said.

Therefore, although it is the same courtyard, compared with the miscellaneous courtyard where Feng Zhi lives, the miscellaneous courtyard here is much smaller, and it is a small courtyard. And in terms of architectural planning, it is also relatively scattered, and the ground is not even paved with bluestone slabs, although the snow on it has melted. But the corner of the wall was splashed with vegetable washing water, flowing into the middle of the road, and there were rotten vegetable leaves hanging on it, if it wasn't for the weather frozen, it would have been a puddle of sewage when stepped on.

"Little girl, be careful, be careful of slippery roads...... Uncle Zhang greeted the two of them, and walked into an alley, and when he passed the gates of some people's houses on the way, he kept greeting people, who had lived here for decades, and the neighbors were very familiar with each other.

He Junyao held Fang Monan's hand tightly, afraid that she would slip.

"It's here, come in, the place is small, it's a little crowded, don't dislike it." Taking Fang Monan and the others into a small courtyard, Uncle Zhang put the backpack on his body in the temporary building with asbestos tiles on the east side, picked up the towel hanging on the rope, and patted the dust on his body. Fang Monan took a look around, this yard is really not big, counting the tap pool in the middle, it is only one or twenty square meters, and it is pitiful.

In the morning, because the weather was fine, the clothes in the yard were hung everywhere like flags, and at this time the weather was gloomy, and some people began to collect clothes.

"Fat aunt, help Sister Qin collect her clothes!" Uncle Zhang greeted with a smile.

"Hmmm! The weather has just been sunny for two days, and it has become cloudy again, I don't know if it will snow? Xiaoqin was not at home and went to work. I helped her put away her clothes, otherwise it would not be good if the clothes that had just been dried would get wet. Said the chubby and round sixty-year-old aunt.

Between the neighbors of the courtyard, those who know each other well, all help each other take care of each other, and it is common to help take care of the children. (To be continued......)
