Chapter 9: Sending a Puppet for a Thousand Miles
On this day, Wang Chuan ordered as usual and sat in the tavern next door. At this time, the heavy snow on the ground had cleared, and the temperature was much better these days than when the snow melted in those days. Wang Chuan sat in the tavern and looked out the window, and he didn't feel too cold.
Liang Zhutou and Mrs. Liang had already talked to Mrs. Bi, but Mrs. Bi was tight-lipped about what was happening in the Lotus Temple, and Liang Zhutou found nothing.
Wang Chuan felt that this Puxiang real person in the Lotus View had a very good grasp of people's psychology, and Mrs. Bi should have been tricked by Puxiang real people, and it was difficult to get any useful information just by knocking on the side of Liang Zhutou and his wife.
"It's time to make a good sum up with Liang Zhutou."
Wang Chuan thought to himself. It is best to ask Liang Zhutou to see if there is any relationship between Mr. Yang and the Taoist priest, if there is no problem, tell Mr. Yang about this matter, and let Mr. Yang be at the forefront, which is the best choice.
However, just as Wang Chuan was thinking like this, someone suddenly shouted at the door of the tavern: "Old Wang, come and help." ”
Wang Chuan turned his head to look at the door, only to see Niu Daping, who was on duty today, helping an old lady with gray hair to come in.
"Slow down, old woman, the threshold here is not low."
After Niu Daping finished calling Wang Chuan, he beckoned the old lady to raise her feet and enter the door, and reminded him.
The old lady grinned "hehe", revealing a tooth that was missing a half front tooth.
"It's okay, it's okay, the old body is hard."
The old lady is indeed tough, and her speech is full of energy, but there is some leakage. But no matter how tough she is, she is also old, a little hunchbacked, walks slowly, and has difficulty moving.
Wang Chuan walked over, hugged the old lady on the other side, helped the old man into the tavern, sat down at the table, and asked Niu Daping, "What's the situation?" ”
Niu Daping was mysterious, and he didn't say it directly, but asked, "Do you know, who did I see today?" ”
"Who?"
Wang Chuan was too lazy to guess and asked rhetorically.
Niu Daping sold Guan Zi again, smiled mysteriously, and said, "I won't tell you first." Let's get some breakfast for the old lady first. ”
"Yes, yes, eat first, eat first."
When the old lady heard Niu Daping say, she immediately came to her senses, and slapped the table with a rhythmic beat, "People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic." Eat, eat! The old body is about to starve to death! ”
Wang Chuan felt that the old lady must have had dinner before, and the rhythm of slapping the table to beg for food was exactly the same as that of a beggar on a street corner. He turned around and instructed Liu Dalang to get some soup and water for the old lady to come early, and asked Niu Daping: "What is the situation?" ”
Niu Daping said: "Let me tell you, early this morning, the leader of the beggar gang, Xin Baji, and the Hanhai Demon Immortal Witch came to our door. This old woman was sent by those two heroes of the rivers and lakes. ”
The old lady continued to knock on the table "pop and pop", as energetic as an energetic bear child, and did not react to Niu Daping's words.
Wang Chuan doubted: "I can still understand Xin Baji. But in your eyes, can you regard Wu Hei Ri as a hero? I don't believe it. "Xin Baji, Xin beggar, Wang Chuan can still understand. After all, the beggars in this world are different from the movies they have seen, they don't have much historical background, and they were founded by Xin Baji. From youth to middle age, this beggar boss single-handedly created a big gang, which spread from Xiliang to the Quanshenzhou Dynasty, and now has rudders in various places, which is really amazing. And he is chivalrous and well-known all over the world, and it is natural that he can be called a "hero".
But Witch Black Day is different.
Wu Heiri was originally the young owner of the Momen branch, the Xiliang Hanhai Puppet Village. This sect was also famous in the rivers and lakes back then, but after the opening of the Shenzhou Dynasty, the Jianghu sect was gradually controlled by the imperial court, and the puppet village gradually broke away from the rivers and lakes.
Wu Heiri's fame in the rivers and lakes does not mean that he is like those rebellious teenagers in the rivers and lakes, rebellious and wants to pursue the glory of the ancestors in the rivers and lakes, so as to make a reputation; Wu Hei Ri is famous, and it is all passive.
Like the other members of the Hanhai Puppet Village, Wu Hei Sun is obsessed with studying puppet technology. But in the process of researching and learning, his interests and preferences involuntarily turned around and went astray. He was then kicked out of his home for indulging in inflatable golem technology.
In this last resort, Wu Heiri relied on his exquisite puppet skills to make a name for himself in the rivers and lakes. It's not bad, but it's not that good. At least not a hero.
And after he retired to the rivers and lakes, people had mixed reviews for his livelihood-
While messing around in the rivers and lakes, the Hanhai Demon Fairy Black Sun continued to specialize in inflatable puppet technology. During this period, he became acquainted with an unknown person from the peasant family, researched fake human skins and chaotic leather, and his inflatable puppet technique was also successful.
After the completion of the research, Wu Heiri withdrew from the rivers and lakes, bought a Zhuangzi in Hanhai, like a puppet village, and opened his door to do business, one is to sell inflatable puppets, and the other is to sell fake skins. Nowadays, on the rivers and lakes, the human skin mask of the Demon Fairy Village is very famous, and the inflatable puppet that solves the problem of lonely men and women in the market is also very popular. Neither of these businesses will bring much fame, and it is not easy to make the eyes above the top in the six doors admit that this is a hero.
Niu Daping said: "You can't believe it. Guess where this old lady came from? Xiliang Hanhai! It is the northwestern part of Xiliang, nearly a thousand miles away from the capital. The old aunt only said that her family lived in Qinglong District, and the Xin Gang Master and Master Wu would send her to the capital thousands of miles away, regardless of labor or compensation. What kind of spirit is this? is so chivalrous, can't he be a hero? ”
"And such a thing?"
Wang Chuan looked down in surprise, the old lady was still energetic, and she couldn't stop patting the table.
"What about them? After such a long journey, you didn't call people over, and invited them to eat and rest? ”
"I also kept them, but one of them is in a hurry to go back and have help to deal with, and the other goes back to run Zhuangzi, how can I keep it?"
Niu Daping said helplessly, "The two of you took the old aunt around Qinglong District, but they couldn't find the old aunt's residence anywhere, so they were in a hurry to go back, so they had to hand them over to us." They have all left Beijing and returned to Xiliang. ”
"That's right."
Wang Chuan nodded, and carefully observed the old lady who seemed to be still childlike, this old man did seem to be a little erratic, it was difficult to recognize the door, it seemed that he was going to accompany the old man to find a home with Niu Daping today.
"Oh yes, the witch master said to send me an inflatable puppet when I go back, and ask the dart master of the SF Dart Bureau to send it to the way."
Niu Daping suddenly leaned into Wang Chuan's ear, lowered his voice and said obscenely, "Do you want it?" If you want to, I'll write to Master Wu and say it. ”
Wang Chuan: "......"
Inflatable Golem ...... This is the reason why this inferior person looks down on Wu Heiri.
