"This little brother, why don't we join us?" The fat man laughed.

Gu Qing observed the fat man and took two steps back, "I'm not good at that, it's too unhygienic, this brother please take care of yourself." ”

The fat man also looked at Gu Qing for a long time, "Could it be that this little brother likes to walk on dry roads?" I've heard of this tune, but I haven't tried it yet. ”

Seeing that the master and the guards at the city gate had discussed that they could enter the city, he hurriedly said, "Xiaosheng still has important matters, so I will say goodbye." ”

"Don't send it, don't send it." The fat man also arched his hand and said.

Tongguan is very lively here, at least more lively than any place Gu Qing has been to now, after a few inquiries, Gu Qing found a fact, the master and apprentice only have a few pennies and can't afford to live in the inn, it seems that Sun Simiao doesn't plan to live in the inn, the master and apprentice are resting in an abandoned temple.

Gu Qing carefully moved a few pots of potato seedlings out of the donkey cart, and the potatoes were not difficult to plant, although a few died during the period.

It was the time to grow his body, Gu Qing looked at the blue sky, which has been the same since ancient times, and he has never been able to earn money if he doesn't work hard, and this truth has never changed.

At lunch, the master and apprentice ate dry steamed buns, in order to make themselves feel full, Gu Qing poured a lot of water into his stomach, and he felt the water swaying in his abdomen when he walked.

"Master, I'm going to earn money."

Sun Simiao sat cross-legged at the closing ceremony and just nodded slightly.

Walking in the bustling Tongguan City, thinking about how to make money, it is best to have a low cost, saying that he found a place for a group of children to play, Gu Qing picked up a wooden board and began to write.

Half an hour later, in the corner of the bazaar, Gu Qing stood a big wooden board beside him, shouting: "Tell stories, tell stories, as long as one person and one penny can listen to stories." ”

Stories are always tempting for children, such as bedtime stories.

Five, six, or seven-year-old children gathered around, and they saw Gu Qing, who was dressed like a beggar, shaking a folding fan coquettishly, "Do you know how to tell a story?" ”

"Serious!" Gu Qing said, "As long as one person has one penny, you can listen to the story." ”

A penny? A few children, you look at me, I look at you, one of the little fat people is dressed very well, and the family should be rich, so he stepped forward to take a penny, "If you don't know how to speak, I'll let my father beat you." ”

Flicking the short bangs in front of his forehead, Gu Qing hurriedly accepted the money and put it neatly into his arms and said, "It just opened today, so I made an exception for one penny at a time, and others listened to it for free." ”

After that, the eyes of this group of bear children were focused on Gu Qing.

As soon as he collected the fan, Gu Qing said: "It is said that there is a Huaguo Mountain in five hundred years, and there is a stone on the mountain, and this stone is left by Nuwa to mend the sky......

A story of Sun Wukong blurted out, "That Sun Wukong learned from the Bodhi ancestor, and I heard that there are many weapons in the East China Sea......"

Speaking of Dinghai Divine Needle, Gu Qing's words came to an abrupt end.

The bear children listened attentively and urged eagerly, "And then, then what?" You say. ”

"Hey, hey......" Gu Qing laughed evilly three times, "Give money!" ”

A herd of bear children: "......"

Syllable!

The fat doll slapped another penny, "Go on!" ”

"Not this time, this time we have to give money." Gu Qing said as he put away the big wooden board and staggered to leave, "If you want to hear it tomorrow or at this hour, remember to bring good money?" ”

Opposite the storytelling is a restaurant, there is a window on the second floor of the restaurant facing the place where Gu Qing tells the story, the graceful woman is still reminiscing about Gu Qing's story with a wine glass, her eyes look at this young man, and she just listened to the story for an hour, and she was inexplicably interested in this young man.

She looks like she is eleven or twelve years old, both in terms of clothing and behavior, but she has some affinity to attract children.

On the second day, Gu Qing came here again, and the big wooden board read: Listen to the story, one person and one penny.

After sitting here for half an hour, a large group of children came together, and the leader was the little fat man, and there were more children than yesterday.

Facing the noisy children, Gu Qing stretched out his hand and said, "Give money!" ”

The little fat man took the lead in paying a penny first, and the other children paid in twos and threes, while collecting Gu Qing and counting the amount, he collected a full twenty wen, and some children did not pay, but this income has exceeded their expectations, so the other children will listen to it for free and start to continue yesterday's story.

Opposite the restaurant was still sitting yesterday's graceful woman, who was looking at Gu Qing.

The story of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea blurted out, and with the ups and downs of the plot of the story, Gu Qing's tone was also light, and the children's expressions also changed with the plot.

Time passed quickly, it was already almost dusk, Gu Qing said: "After this Sun Monkey took the Dinghai God Needle, the unlucky Dragon King went to Heaven to complain to the Jade Emperor. ”

"I didn't expect this Sun Monkey to have such a ability, everyone in the Heavenly Court gasped, and the Jade Emperor's subordinate Tai Bai Xing proposed to recruit Sun Wukong to the Heavenly Court as an official, but he only gave Bi Ma Wen this small official, but he made the horse circle of the Heavenly Court smoky, and then threw the Sun Monkey into the Pan Tao Garden, and let the peach go to the head office. It happened to be the time of the peach conference, but the peach did not have a share of the monkey, which can make the monkey anxious, of course the monkey will not stop but steal the peach and drink the fairy wine, and eat the elixir, ruined the peach event, the Jade Emperor was furious, and sent 100,000 heavenly soldiers to capture the turtle grandson. ”

Saying this, Gu Qing's words came to an abrupt end again, "It's not too early, please come back next time." ”

On the second floor of the restaurant, the graceful woman listened to another one, beckoned a maid and said, "Just now go and find out the details of that person." ”

"Yes!" The maid replied in a whisper, and said, "Shall we still wrap this room tomorrow?" ”

"He'll be here tomorrow." The graceful woman smiled and said, "Tell me the story here, this room is still reserved for us." ”

The maidservant nodded and left.

The graceful heroine left the window and dried the ink on the paper, which recorded the story of Gu Qingjiang, she read it over and over again, and carefully put it away.

It is easy to walk together between children and children, children pass on two, ten pass hundred, a strange thing happened in Tongguan that night, many children begged their parents, give a penny to listen to the story, adults are also curious about what story is so attractive, many adults in the neighborhood chatted after dinner and made up their minds to go to meet the storyteller together.

A penny is not much, not too much, the people of Tongguan say that they are not rich, and they say that they can eat and dress warmly even if they are poor, but it is the first time that some people use storytelling to make money.

It's still the old rule, Gu Qing came to the place where he was telling the story again, he thought he was coming early, but he didn't expect that there was already a group of people waiting here, in addition to children, there were also many adults.

As soon as the plank was put down, Gu Qing said: "The old rule, one person is one penny!" ”
