Li Jing shuttled through the night, like a Persian cat running on the roof, carefully avoiding the soldiers patrolling the night. One moment it will be high, and the next it will disappear in the shadows. I returned to my home. I just climbed over the fence of my yard and landed lightly on the ground.

Suddenly, four figures surrounded him, and Li Jing hurriedly tore off the black cloth on his face. The four of them shouted: "Young master, you are back." "Let the maid be worried" "Young master, are you hungry, the kitchen is still hot with lotus seed porridge." ”

Li Jing waved his hand and looked at the tree, and sure enough, Bai Yu was sitting on the tree with a crossbow machine.

"Didn't you let you sleep, what are you doing here on a cold day, go back to sleep."

After speaking, Li Jing hurriedly entered the house, took off his clothes, and got into the quilt, he was sleepy, it was the middle of the night. I'm going to see you tomorrow.

After lunch the next day, Li Jing pretended to be a talent in Tsing Yi and walked to Gulou Street, only to turn the Drum Tower and see the Eighth Senior Sister with her hands behind her back, standing there with some gloomy standing looking at Di'anmen, the direction of the imperial city.

The eighth senior sister has a mysterious origin, could it be the illegitimate daughter of the powerful in the capital, Li Jing's evil belly. Wudang is a royal Taoist temple, and it must be implicated in the clan. During the Yongle period, while building the Forbidden City in Beijing, it also vigorously built the Wudang Mountain Palace, and the military and civilian craftsmen were more than 300,000 at that time, and the project lasted for 12 consecutive years. Eight palaces, two views, thirty-two hermitages, nine platforms, nine wells, thirteen pavilions, fifteen ponds, thirty-nine bridges, embroidered one beautiful picture after another. No matter from the grandeur of its architectural scale, the immensity of the project, and the exquisiteness and richness of the craftsmanship, it can be called a miracle in the history of architecture.

Li Jing apprenticed at the age of four, and he already remembered that the master came south with eight disciples, including the ten-year-old eighth senior sister. The other brothers and sisters Li Jing all knew the origin of their origins, but this eighth senior sister was always as mysterious as a fog. I secretly asked the senior brother several times, but the senior brother laughed and didn't answer.

Hearing the footsteps, Ruxin looked back and saw Li Jing, smiled, beckoned him to come over, pulled Li Jing over, tidied up his clothes affectionately, straightened his hat, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the gray marks on his face.

When Li Jing came just now, in order to show his grace, he deliberately wore a hat crookedly, opened the placket of his robe, and had a folding fan obliquely stuck around his neck. A swinger portrait alive.

It's all said to be ...... Struck by lightning. Before Li Jing could go far, he was pulled by a magpie volley. What an angel has come. Li Jing was furious and hit the flat-haired beasts with stones, resulting in a pile of ash falling on the tree. Li Jing had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky, turned around and left.

"You're such a big person, why are you still naughty like a child, and you're covered in ashes. Let's go, senior brother, they've been waiting for a long time. ”

While chattering, Ruxin took Li Jing to a small courtyard near Gulou Street.

The Di'anmen Street in front of the drum tower has always been prosperous, there are stalls selling along the street, and two-story buildings facing the street on both sides, opening shops and restaurants, and there are also two places here in Bada Hutong.

At this time, the street was full of people, and there were still children's cries and angry scolding. The roads are clogged.

Nina likes children, and she can't see children being bullied, so she pulls Li Jing and squeezes inside.

I saw that in the crowd, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy sat on the ground crying, there was an overturned bucket on the side, a person who looked like a housekeeper next to him, with a few family members, and a wheelbarrow loaded with some high-quality bamboo charcoal.

The housekeeper was scolding angrily: "Blind little cub, don't you walk without eyes, this fine bamboo charcoal is worth fifty taels of silver, you have a bucket of water wet, the master is still waiting for the fire, if the master freezes, will your family's cheap life be enough to compensate." ”

As he spoke, he kicked the child to the ground with his foot and turned over a few times.

The child cried and clasped his head, "The old man, the old man is blind and has collided with the nobleman, so you can raise your noble hand and spare the little one." It's really my mother's illness, I want to boil medicine, I'm the only one left in the family, I can't force out to carry water, I'm too short, staggering, really not intentional. ”

"It's not intentional, I think you kid is touching porcelain (touching porcelain is indeed an ancient saying, the ancient blackmail industry, and porcelain was really used in the early days), so you have to be caught in the yamen, and the thirty big boards will be beaten down, and you don't have to lose a single one."

"Master, master, your old man raised his noble hand and spared the small one. I'm really not touching porcelain," said the kid and kowtowed to the surroundings, "Everyone, I am Wang Lin of this bell alley, nicknamed Frozen Pear, I have never done anything illegal, you all know me, give me a testimony, I kowtow to you." ”

The onlookers around couldn't bear it, and they said: "This child is poor, but he is not a bad person with good conduct," "This child is a filial son, his wife and him are the only two people in the family, and they usually live by sewing and repairing for helpers, and they are indeed not liars"

The chubby housekeeper really didn't follow, and said with a snort: "If you don't have any money to pay, it's okay, but I have to give you a memory." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of broken iron from the ground, half an inch wide and three inches long, with many rusty holes.

"You eat it, and today's business is over."

The onlookers were in an uproar, and some of them rolled up their sleeves if they were angry. It's just too much, a group of people so bullying a child. As soon as a strong man wanted to step forward and speak bluntly, an old man grabbed his sleeve and said, "Don't get into trouble, this housekeeper is the son of Mrs. Fengsheng, the housekeeper of the Jinyi Wei Hou Qianhu." ”

When everyone heard this, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak anymore.

Among the onlookers, there was a young man of the same age as Li Jing, who said to the people around him: "Go and find out, what Mrs. Fengsheng's son is doing on weekdays." “

Ruxin said angrily: "It's too bullying, junior brother, you wait for me for a while." I'm going to teach them a lesson."

Li Jing grabbed her, shook his head at her, and then walked out, walked up to the old housekeeper, saluted, and said, "This old man is polite." ”

The old butler looked at it, but he was just dressed as a showman, and he didn't pay attention to it, and snorted in his nose.

"This little brother made an unintentional mistake, wetting the old man's bamboo charcoal, I have fifty taels of silver here, it is better to compensate for it, you are a nobleman, and a child seriously did not lose your identity." Li Jing said, took out a silver ticket of fifty taels, and handed it to the old butler with respectful hands.

In fact, everyone knows that although these bamboo charcoal are more expensive than charcoal, five taels of silver is enough, and asking for fifty taels is already very excessive blackmail.

The old housekeeper took it and took a look, and exclaimed, "The silver ticket of the Baofeng", this is the silver ticket issued by the most powerful Jinshang Group in the world, which is exchanged in thirteen provinces, this kid seems to be not simple. But thinking of his own background, greed rose. This kid casually took out fifty taels, maybe there was no more money, it was better to force this kid again, maybe he could knock out some more, and the young master would definitely praise him when he went home.

"Well, it is said that these fifty taels are enough to compensate, but my young master can't delay if he wants to bake the fire, and it's too late to buy it again."

Li Jing couldn't help frowning, he had already given them enough steps to go down, and if he didn't take a break, this was blackmail.

"This old man, as the saying goes, there is no wet wood in the fire, as long as the heat is up, everything is lit, in fact, as long as you use some old carbon to raise the fire, burn it red, and then add new carbon is pointed, this wheelbarrow is covered with a quilt, and the carbon below is only wet on the surface, and the bottom is still dry, take the wet surface to dry, and burn it dry, and when the dry one is burned, the wet one is also dried."

"You're talking lightly, since you have lit everything you say, you set this piece of iron on fire for me to see. If you light it, I'll turn around and leave, how" The old man raised his eyebrows arrogantly.

Li Jing's squinted eyes suddenly opened, and the old man's heart trembled with his blazing gaze. The old man had a feeling of being targeted by a tiger, and his whole body was numb.

Li Jing opened the light curtain, and the customer service sister appeared, "Is there pure oxygen, buy a big flask"

"This one has, one coin"

"Okay, here's a bottle, if it's not enough for you to keep adding oxygen to it, I'll pay by the can"

"Okay, as you wish"

Li Jing took out a glass flask from his arms, put it on a table next to him for word measurement, took the iron piece from the old housekeeper's hand, found a wooden wire and inserted it into the small hole at the bottom of the iron sheet. Then he took out the zipo lighter he bought on the platform, opened the lid with a ding, and an orange-red flame jumped up.

Seeing Li Jing make a fire, the onlookers exclaimed, and the young man who spoke just now stared at Li Jing intently. Li Jing put the lighter close to the wood wire and lit it, and when it was completely burned, Li Jing opened the glass piece on the flask, connected the iron piece to the burning wood wire, and put it into the flask.

A stunned scene appeared, the wood wire quickly ignited the iron piece, and the iron piece began to burn violently in the flask, emitting a strong light, and the people around were dumbfounded.

Li Jing looked at the old housekeeper and his group with a smile, only to see these people, trembling with fear, and said in his mouth: "Demon, demon law" suddenly shouted, threw down the wheelbarrow, and fled in all directions.

Li Jing picked up the child, took out a bag of broken silver and ten silver tickets, and said, "Go home immediately, take your mother, leave quickly, and never come back, there are five hundred taels of silver here, enough for your mother and son to live." ”

The kid kowtowed vigorously, "Thank you, thank you"

Li Jing kicked his ass impatiently and scolded, "Hurry up"

Li Jing pulled up Ruxin and was about to leave, when suddenly a young man stepped up diagonally, stopped Li Jing, and said, "This brother, what kind of object did you just make the fire can be sold to me, the price is negotiable." Also, how did you make the iron burn, and can you solve the puzzle below? ”

Li Jing was in a hurry to get out, threw the zipo to the young man, and said, "I've sent you," and then pulled up Ruxin and ran, a few ups and downs, and disappeared, and the people around the young man immediately chased after him, but they came back in frustration for a while.

"Lost it," the boy asked, raising his chin.

"The subordinates are incompetent," the guards bowed their heads in shame.

The young man laughed, under the warm winter sun, with a sunny face, "The world is full of flies and dogs, vulgar and hateful." After so many years, I finally met an interesting person. As he spoke, he picked up the zipo, picked up the flask, and walked away, and the guards hurriedly followed, heading straight for the Di'an Gate.
