Chapter 417: Skinny Girl
Qi Yanwu came to the capital with Zhou Zhi, from last year to this year, it has been almost a month. But he was always by Zhou Zhi's side and served Zhou Zhi. Qi Yanwu is very attentive, if it weren't for his sister-in-law Kou Peihan always talking about the excitement and fun of the outside world in front of him, Qi Yanwu would never have moved his mind to go out to play.
After Zhou Zhi was led into the palace by the little eunuch Gao Zhong, Qi Yanwu packed up and took half a tael of silver from the country.
Although Qi Yanwu is Zhou Zhi's scholar, Zhou Zhi has never treated him as a subordinate, and the Zhou family is now having a better life, and Zhou Zhi often gives Qi Yanwu some scattered silver. Qi Yanwu saved it silently, and he was reluctant to spend a penny of silver.
Out of the country, along the wide north-south street of the capital while walking carelessly, while thinking, I am very lucky, and I have the opportunity to play in this capital. But Brother Zhou Zhi is different, he has been in the capital for so long, he has been concentrating on studying, and now he is going back and forth every day in the Guozijian and the palace, there is no time to be free, and he has never visited this fun capital once! I found something interesting this time, and I must buy it back for Brother Zhou Zhi, so that Brother Zhou Zhi can also be happy.
Although it was still early in the morning, the main street was already full of pedestrians, and the sounds of buying and selling came and went. Qi Yanwu felt fresh when he saw everything, but when he touched the half tael of silver in his arms, he was still a little reluctant after all.
walked aimlessly, strolling, so unhappy, and before I knew it, at noon, Qi Yanwu ate two bowls of noodles at a small stall, and was ready to return to China.
Brother Zhou Zhi is going to return to China in the afternoon to study, and he can't let him not see him when he goes back. He hurried back to the country.
The capital is very large, and the journey he walked out of this morning's wandering was not short, and he couldn't help but speed up the pace of returning. Before he was walking, he saw that the street in front of him was full of people, and loud cheers continued to be heard from the black crowd.
"Good Kung Fu, Good Kung Fu! Terrible! ”
Qi Yanwu was a martial arts practitioner and had a strong interest in martial arts, and when he heard such cheers, he hesitated for a moment and stopped. His feet walked over almost disobediently.
Although he is fifteen years old this year, he has never grown taller. Standing outside the crowd, standing on tiptoe, you can't see the scene inside. At this time, the cheers of the crowd were even louder. Some people even raised their arms high, very excited to admire and applaud.
"It's been a long time since I've seen a trick like this in the capital! It's amazing, it's an eye-opener today! ”
Qi Yanwu was even more itchy.
What kind of kung fu? His martial arts are not weak, and he learned light skills with his sister-in-law. Could it be that the people inside will also work lightly, which is greater than the ability of the sister-in-law?
He bent down like a loach and gently burrowed into the gap in the crowd. He moved quickly, and with little effort, he actually squeezed into the crowd. At this time, there were not many people in front of Qi Yanwu, and he seemed to be standing at the forefront.
The view in the center of the circle is unobstructed.
Just by looking at it, Qi Yanwu was taken aback, and his heart immediately beat violently. In the very center of the field was a pile of firewood, and the fire was fierce. On top of the fire was a long thick iron plate.
The fire was baking the iron plate, which was obviously hot by this time.
A bare-armed man is still adding firewood to make the dry firewood burn more vigorously. Next to the iron plate, stood a thin girl in shabby clothes. The girl is fourteen or fifteen years old, and should be similar to Qi Yanwu. However, it may be that you have been eating bran for a long time, or you can't eat your stomach, and that very delicate cheek is the color of the dish.
The girl was barefoot, Qi Yanwu looked over, it was actually a pair of very small feet, but she might not wear shoes for a long time, and the surface of her feet was a little black.
At this time, the girl suddenly smiled at everyone, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth, and her appearance was even more beautiful. However, with such a dish, Qi Yanwu's heart was inexplicably sour.
Alas! She should be a girl from a poor family.
Qi Yanwu quickly thought of himself, he came from Shandong, wandered around, rags, and when he was about to starve to death, he was taken in by Zhou Zhi's brother's family, and he was now considered to be worry-free.
If it weren't for the kind-hearted Brother Zhou Zhi's family, I think I would be even worse than the girl in front of me.
The girl then lifted her left foot high. I have to say that her body is very soft and flexible, and she easily moved her left foot to her left shoulder. Qi Yanwu could see clearly, there was a thick layer of calluses on the soles of her feet, and some places were faintly red because of burns.
The big man who added firewood stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, our father and daughter were originally from Shanxi, and their family was robbed and occupied, so they couldn't get along, so they wandered around, and now they are in the capital.
Just now, my little daughter performed a kung fu for everyone, and was applauded by the parents and villagers, and our father and daughter are very grateful. Next, my little girl will perform a unique trick for you, pedaling the iron plate. ”
After speaking, he made a circle to everyone, picked up the gourd scoop, scooped half a scoop of cold water from the bucket beside him, and suddenly splashed it on the iron plate, and the iron plate immediately emitted a burst of white smoke, and the water droplets on it disappeared in an instant.
He then added a few more handfuls of wood to the fire and nodded lightly at the girl.
Qi Yanwu carefully found that there was a kind of helplessness and sadness in the eyes of the man.
Alas! There is no way, there are too many poor people in this world, and there are many people who have to do all kinds of unbearable things in order to barely survive.
The girl bowed deeply to the crowd and raised her left foot high.
The left foot was gently placed on the iron plate, and everyone noticed that the girl's eyebrows were slightly frowning and her teeth were clenched. Then suddenly he kicked hard with his right foot, and his feet fell on the iron plate.
The crowd was silent for a long time.
Qi Yanwu was also surprised, and his face changed slightly.
Oh my God, the iron plate is about to burn red, and a weak girl is stepping on it barefoot, doesn't she feel pain?
Nonsense, where is the reason not to be afraid of being burned?
Poor, this girl is so pitiful!
At this time, the big man had already turned around, his head bowed, and the long hair on his head covered his face, and everyone couldn't see his expression clearly.
Obviously, he couldn't bear to look directly at his daughter's cruel performance.
Soon the girl was sweating. The body also seemed to be shaking, and it was about to fall off the iron plate.
She gritted her teeth and jumped.
As soon as the burned feet hit the ground, he suddenly became unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground.
