56 Out of town
When the three young men and the father and daughter duo were added, the small room seemed a little cramped.
Tietou and Yuhong each found two small stools to sit next to the door, like two door gods; The middle-aged man and Cuihu sat on the collapse, and the woman took the baked cakes and mutton that Cuihu had bought back to heat.
The middle-aged man looked at the three of them and said with a little embarrassment: "It's just because of the poor family and the short house, so I neglected you." ”
Cuihu answered: "Uncle, we are all children from poor families, everyone is the same, don't pay attention to these." ”
Only then did the man begin to introduce his origins, his surname was Fang, his name was Zhengyi, and he made a living by painting portraits of others; daughter Wan Ting, whose mother died when she was a child, was raised by her own hard work.
The man patted his leg and said: "Don't hide it from you, it snowed heavily some time ago, and I accidentally broke my leg under it, making it inconvenient to walk, and some of my savings have been used up. ”
Cuihu guessed that Fang Zhengyi should not have eaten, so he told Yuhong to go outside to find out the rumors, and bring some food back by the way, and Yuhong answered.
Then Fang Zhengyi asked about the origin of the three Cuihu. Cuihu introduced the three of them, and then went to Nanyang on the orders of his husband to find capable people who could make water drains and hydraulic blowers, and how he met the store in Shangzhou and how to return to Lantian about it.
Finally, he sighed and said: Door-to-door inquiries like ours are undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack!
Sometimes I also wonder, why is my husband so sure that he can find someone who can make water drainage in the Nanyang boundary of Dengzhou?
Why was he so insistent and sent the three of us all the way to find it?
But in any case, I believe that my husband is certainly not wrong.
Tomorrow we are ready to continue our journey to Nanyang to find someone who can make water drains. ”
After listening to Cuihu's words, the man was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
It just so happened that the woman named Wan Ting warmed up the hu cake and mutton and brought them to her father, and when she heard Cuihu speak, she couldn't help but interject: "Doesn't grandpa know how to make water drains?" ”
"Huh?" Cui Hu almost bounced up from the collapse, his head almost hit the roof on his head, and asked excitedly: "Dare to ask uncle, is this true?" ”
The man was silent for a long time, and then asked, "Who is the gentleman in your mouth?" ”
Cuihu's face showed a pious look that can only be found when worshipping gods and Buddhas: "My husband calls himself Abu, although he is young, he is benevolent and generous, knows astronomy and geography; It was he who saved everyone from fire and water, it was he who brought everyone to paradise, it was he who pointed out the direction of struggle for everyone, and it was he who created the road of happiness for everyone. ”
Wan Ting listened to Cuihu's lyrical and speech-like words, and laughed out loud: "Listening to you say this, your husband is simply the Guanyin Bodhisattva of great compassion?" ”
Cuihu said seriously: "In our hearts, he is actually more amiable and respectable than the Buddha and the Bodhisattva. Iron head, don't you think so? ”
"That's right." The door god of the iron head replied with an urn beside him.
Wan Ting could only say "uh" and couldn't continue to answer.
Fang Zheng slowed down and said, "I remember that the shopkeeper is indeed a very good-hearted person. I just don't know what your husband is going to build these devices for? ”
Cuihu listened to the man's frank admit, and almost fell to the ground in excitement, and his heart was agitated for a while; Nearly half a year of hard work is not in vain, and I finally met the main master!
He said that we were going to make steel, but the gentleman said that without a strong blower, the furnace temperature would not go up; If you don't use water, it will be very manpower-intensive.
The man nodded and said, "That's true, it seems that your husband also understands the key." ”
Cui Huxin said that of course, our husband is almost catching up with Mr. Kong Ming.
Wan Ting was busy persuading her father to eat, and at this moment, Yuhong came in from outside, carrying some wine and food in her hand, as well as a hot mutton soup.
At the same time, he also brought back a not-so-good news: among the few gentlemen who were beaten today, one of them was the son of Lantian Zhixian County, and I heard that a leg was broken. The magistrate was furious and was ordering someone to hunt them down.
Hearing that everyone in the house was nervous, as the saying goes, "the people don't fight with the officials", after all, it is now on the other party's territory, if you are accidentally caught, you will not run away if you are beaten and tortured, the key is that this will delay the follow-up task arranged by Mr.
Yuhong said that fortunately, they went around in a circle, and those officials searched in the opposite direction, and it was relatively safe for the time being.
Fang Zhengyi's father and daughter were not in much of the mood, and hastily ate the food, and the atmosphere in the house was a little solemn for a while.
Cuihu was a little reluctant and said, "Uncle, I'm really sorry, this incident was caused by us, but it caused you * trouble." ”
Fang Zhengyi: "Where is Cuihu, if it wasn't for the little girl, how could these incidents be born?" ”
Wan Ting answered: "Don't be afraid of them, it's obvious that they are the scoundrels first, so it's a big deal to go to court with them and let everyone judge them." ”
Fang Zheng looked at his daughter dotingly, and sighed: "This world is like this, the world is so big, who are you going to reason with?" ”
Cuihu took the opportunity to speak: "Uncle, why don't you come with us, the purpose of our coming out is to find a capable person like Uncle."
In addition, we have no worries about food and clothing, no oppression, no taxes, and it can be called a paradise on earth. ”
Wan Ting asked curiously, "Is it really as good as you say you are?" ”
Yuhong had already learned the identity of this man from Tietou, and she was also very surprised, she never expected that things in the world would be so wonderful.
casually fight, save someone, and find the target. It can really be said that there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and there is no intention to insert willows into the shade.
Yuhong continued: "Our ancestral home is Shanxi, that year there was a great drought, and there was a locust plague, everyone has been desperate, Mr. Abu said that there is a paradise, can protect everyone a way to live."
Later, everyone followed Mr. to go, and Mr. really took everyone to a place outside the world, where the water is beautiful and the fields are fat, and now everyone is really full of food and clothing, carefree.
If you haven't actually been there, you can't imagine it. ”
"What Yuhong said is true, I couldn't eat enough before, and now I can't fit my stomach." The iron head sitting on the small bench said this, which made the father and daughter laugh, and it seemed that the honest man was still honest.
"Well, in that case, I'll go with you and see if it's as good as you say.
I'm going to meet you too, if it's really as amazing as you say! ”
He looked at the four-walled house again and said, "Let's go, there's nothing to be nostalgic about here." ”
The three of them were overjoyed, and then everyone began to discuss how to get out of the city.
When Cuihu asked Fang Zheng if he could ride a horse with one leg and foot, Fang Zhengyi smiled modestly and said that it was still a little inconvenient because of his leg injury.
Cuihu first asked Yuhong and Tietou to bring the horses and luggage from the inn, and at the same time bought a carriage and put a horse on it, and the father and daughter sat in the car and drove the car themselves.
In the end, he expressed his worries, saying that the saddest thing was still the gate of the city, and if the official recognized it, it would be difficult to do well.
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave it to the little girl." ”
Wan Ting circled around the three of them and said to Yuhong, "It's just you." ”
Yuhong was a little confused and followed Wan Ting into another room. After a while, when they came out again, two women walked out.
When you look closely, a jade red who is actually a man and a woman, under the simple whitewash of Wan Ting, Yu Hong has changed from a delicate man to a delicate woman. It seems that Wan Ting is really brilliant in makeup.
Cuihu and Tietou looked funny, and couldn't help laughing, Yuhong was annoyed, and rushed to Tietou is punch.
And the hideous scar on Wan Ting's face is gone, and she has become an ordinary-looking woman. Cuihu then woke up, it turned out that the scar on her face was made up by herself, but I don't know if this is her true face?
After cleaning up, the father and daughter looked around the house for a week, and there was no other concern. So they got into their chariots and rode their horses toward the gates.
They passed one after the other, and they passed very smoothly, after all, there was nothing dazzling.
It's just that Tietou and Yuhong, who are dressed as husband and wife, were ridiculed by the city gate guards.
"Look at that delicate little lady, why did she marry such a stupid black coarse? Alas, God doesn't have long eyes! ”
"Isn't it? A flower was stuck in cow dung, but it's a pity. ”
"Hehe, brother, you don't understand this, maybe the little lady likes such a stout type! Do you say it...... Hahaha! ”
Out of the city, when she arrived at a safe place, Yuhong took off her female makeup and punched and kicked the iron head again, but his lethality was basically negligible in front of the iron head.
Tietou could only hold his head helplessly, squatting on the ground, he felt that he was quite wronged, what does it have to do with me how others talk and ridicule!
