In just one night, the entrance of the main entrance of the fire, which was originally considered thin, became lively.

There were about twenty new children, and they were covered with lice, and several of them had vicious sores on their bodies, which were so rotten that they were bleeding pus, and the pus and blood were scabbed over their torn clothes!

After boiling more than 30 large buckets of water, and using seven or eight newly purchased bristle brushes, it was finally possible to clean the bodies of these children, who were no different from Hanako. I can't see it when I usually wear clothes, but when I take off my clothes, I know that there are still two girls among the twenty or so children who have been brought back by the leopard, and it is no wonder that they refuse to take off their clothes in front of others

I found a shaved head on the street, and the boys all had a bald scoop, and the girl also handed over to Nalan to grate her hair with a grate more than ten times, and then washed it several times with the insecticidal potion prepared in the main gate of the fire, which barely broke the root of the lice.

The old doctor of Tong Ren Tang, who had treated the daughter-in-law of Xie Menshen's family, had to see the children, and everyone had to drink a pair of anthelmintic medicines, and there were seven or eight other children who were also given ointment to cure sores, so that the children could wear the new clothes that the tailor had brought out overnight.

There are locusts in the room. The children, who were hungry and full on weekdays, saw several dustpans of sticks and noodles next to them, and shredded pickles mixed with sesame oil, so they fried the camp at that time. If it weren't for the fact that Youbao and Nalan shouted and stopped the children who didn't have enough to eat, I'm afraid something would have happened at that time!

That's it, in the middle of the night, there are still several children holding their stomachs and crying out in pain - the half-grown children eat six fist-sized nests in one meal, and then pour several bowls of millet porridge with their necks straight, can they not eat and hold on?

After three days of busy work, the children who finally cleaned up and stopped worshipping the ancestor according to the rules in the main gate of the fire, and then kowtowed to the head of the main gate, Na Jiuye, which can be regarded as a serious worship into the main gate of the fire and became a little apprentice in the main gate of the fire.

When I got up early in the morning, I looked at the children who had begun to sweep the courtyard and wipe the house from the window, and couldn't help nodding secretly.

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, and these children who have no home even have a place, as long as they can have a place to live and give a mouthful of food that is just enough to fill their stomachs, they are all careful to play with their lives, for fear that because they are not careful, they will have to go back to the street and rely on God to reward their lives!

Because of this carefulness, almost no child has endless work in their eyes. I've finished wiping my belongings here, and I've grabbed a broom over there. almost cleaned all the corners in the yard, and immediately rushed into the room to clean up the tea bowls and teapots. When the ninth master and several other elders who were sitting in the hall woke up, the washing water was piping hot, and a bowl of tea could be eaten!

got up and pushed open the door, before Xiang Youbao had time to stretch his waist, the nine monkeys standing at the door had already held the washbasin and greeted first: "Senior brother, morning!" Wash your face ready, you"

glanced at the child holding the tea bowl in his hand behind the nine monkeys, Xiang Youbao was angry and funny and stretched out his hand and patted the head of the nine monkeys: "I'm here with your senior brother!" We are equals, if you want to come like this, what do you let the head of the house and the masters sitting in the hall think of me? ”

Stretched out his hand to take the basin held by the nine monkeys, and washed his face quickly, then reached out and took the tea bowl held by the other child, and said to the nine monkeys standing aside: "Go, bring the junior brothers and sisters together." From this morning, I'll have to teach you how to do the fighting in the main gate of the fire! ”

Surprised to jump high, the nine monkeys ran towards the yard. And the other child also turned around and shouted at the child who was sweeping in the yard of the second entrance: "All the hands are sharp, senior brother is going to teach us kung fu!" ”

Then when the children gathered in front of him, Xiang Youbao walked quickly to Na Jiuye, who was slowly tasting a bowl of tea, and smiled at Na Jiuye: "Tell the head of the family, the apprentice has a leopard."

Before Xiang Youbao finished speaking, Na Jiuye had already raised his leg and kicked Xiang Youbao, and shouted in a low voice under his voice: "Just pretend to be an honest child in front of your uncle!" I spent half the night last night wondering how you said your head and your luck were born? Whatever falls into your hands, you can figure out a trick to do it, whether it is good or evil, true or false, and you still have the luck to do it! I was just thinking about the thin people in the main gate of the fire, and I was thinking about where to go to touch a few little apprentices, you are good, one guy brought back more than 20 people! ”

With a smiling face, there was no serious look on Xiang Youbao's face: "Then isn't this Uncle Shi, who has a good way of teaching?" If you think it's appropriate, I'd like to teach these kids a little bit of skill first. After a year and a half, the children's little racks have a little bit of appearance, and then the uncles sitting in the door will pick their own personal apprentices? ”

Nodding slightly, Na Jiu Ye glanced at the nine monkeys who were beckoning the other children back and forth with his eyes and said, "Did you see that child?" Looking at the appearance of landing and lifting legs, it looks like a person who has practiced for several years! In the past two days, I have also taken a look, this child's heart and eyes and mouth are still alive, if he is trained to have the slippery smell on his body, I am afraid that he can be a good hand in the future! ”

deliberately crying with a sad face, Xiang Youbao suppressed his voice and shouted "Uncle Shi, you are pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey-say I'm not?" ”

With a cold snort from his nostrils, Na Jiu Ye whispered angrily: "It's just about you-your mouth is like being smeared with oil, and you can't stand up to flies!" Beckoning these children to stand on the stand, you hurry up and wait for your two monkeys! If you lose the fight with Mr. Shui's two ink monkeys, don't expect me to settle the account for you with the Alien Beast Diagram! ”

With a smile on Na Jiuye's teeth, Xiang Youbao walked to the children who had gathered and set up a horse stake, and then held a jackdaw water posture in his hand, and shouted to the children who had gathered: "Just tie it up according to my posture, senior brother, and don't move the place for an hour!" ”

Watching those children tie up the gong frame according to the cat and tiger, Xiang Youbao walked back and forth along the human seam a few times, and moved his hands and feet with some children who did not pose in the right posture, and then turned around and walked towards the courtyard of Sanjin.

had already waited in front of the gate of the courtyard for the third time, Na Jiuye took out a copper key from his waist, raised his hand to open the locked courtyard door, and stuffed a few paper bags in his hand into the hands of Xiang Youbao.

Walking into the courtyard of Sanjin, listening to the movement of the locked courtyard door behind him, he stopped, and only then did he look up at the several rooms in the courtyard of Sanjin with closed doors, and walked straight towards a room with yellow curtains hanging and even the windows sealed with thick cotton quilts.

It wasn't too cold, but there were several large stoves outside the room. The large furnace is filled with large coal blocks transported from Mentougou, and then the fire is pressed with fine coal foam, so that the coal blocks in the whole furnace can only burn slowly, and the heat is evenly revealed.

Along these large stoves, a dozen or so iron pipes wrapped in wheat straw and triple soil reached into the house in unison, baking the whole room unusually warm. Even if it is the weather of the tenth winter wax moon, this house can make people sweat bare-chested!

Just this house, if it were in the eyes of the knowledgeable men in Sijiu City, it would definitely be able to shout out in one bite - isn't this a warm house? In previous years, in the palace of the prince Baylor and in the courtyard outside the city, there was almost such a warm house, holding flowers and vegetables. In the weather of October and the month of winter, a pot of peonies can be placed in the study, and tender cucumbers with pimples and thorns can be seen on the dining table!

The three-story thick curtain was opened, and a leopard plunged into the warm house. With the help of the angry oil lamp hanging in the room, Xiang Youbao carefully looked at the two monkeys that had just arrived, and put the few paper bags he was carrying on the table beside him.

From the time the leopard got the two monkeys back, this was originally intended to be used to warm the nest of snakes and scorpions in winter, and the warm house that stored the fierceness was lit in advance.

I took out a little of the things that were originally saved at home to serve the living beings, took the cotton wool that was boiled in monkey urine and then dried, and asked the master who played the cotton to play it carefully, and then mixed it into a cotton nest with a large leaf that had been kneaded and picked a vein, and the two unweaned monkeys were resting in such a cotton nest, plus the heat that has always been stored in this warm house, it is almost as warm and comfortable as being in my mother's arms.

Wash and knead the thin sheep intestines to make a feeding tube, and you have to feed most of the goat's milk in the tea bowl every two hours, and you can't break it at night, and from time to time you take the meridian silver needle to prick the limbs of these two young monkeys

According to Na Jiuye's words, even if he is serving his ancestors, he can only do this!

Looking at the two cubs who were crawling around in the cotton nest, Xiang Youbao picked up a basin of water that was resting in the corner of the room, stretched out his hand to test the heat and coldness of the water, and then put the basin on the table, and then spread out the paper bags that Na Jiu Ye handed to him one by one.

Ordinary people who go to the rivers and lakes train cartilaginous monkeys, and they always only want to make the cartilaginous monkeys look like ink monkeys, but they never consider that the cartilaginous monkeys will not live for more than a month before and after. Anyway, it's a one-shot deal, and I don't plan to see that buyer again in the future!

In the main gate of the fire, although there is also a method of training cartilage monkeys, but just because the ink monkeys are really rare, they can only retreat and use the newly weaned monkeys to take medicine and wash their bodies with potions, which is just pressing the speed of the monkeys growing up. After waiting for two or three years, the cartilaginous monkey that has been trained can still grow into its original appearance, which is not a means to damage yin morality.

Holding a scale of medicine, the medicine foam in the paper bag was weighed according to the weight, and the leopard slowly poured the medicine foam into the water basin in accordance with the order of dispensing, and then used a peach wood stick to stir it in one direction, and then gently picked up the two ink monkeys and carefully put the two ink monkeys into the water basin.

Just enough to flood half of the ink monkey's body, the potion shimmered dark in the light. As Xiang Youbao gently rubbed his fingers along the two fox cubs from head to toe, in less than half an hour, the original golden cub has become dark all over.

Estimating that it was almost time, Xiang Youbao shook off a large piece of pure white muslin on the table, and gently wiped the two young monkeys that had just been soaked in the potion, and then put the two young monkeys back into the cotton nest.

With a slight sigh of relief, Xiang Youbao picked up the potion and walked out of the room. Before pouring the potion into the gutter of the Sanjin courtyard again, Xiang Youbao first grabbed a handful of red medicine foam from his pocket and sprinkled it into the basin, and then poured out the medicine he had just used.

There are unique shops and workshops in Sijiu City, and there are not a few people who come to learn art in ordinary times, and there are even more people who are counting on stealing teachers while people are unprepared.

It's like the old braised soup that hasn't been broken for a hundred years in the pot of the braised pork Liu family at the front door, every day when a guy adds water and meat to the old soup of braised meat, the people of the old Liu family are all staring with round eyes, for fear of asking someone to steal the old soup and go out to set up another stove.

But just staring at it, he still called a guy who had been working in the braised pork Liu family for three years to get his hands - that guy took advantage of the moment of adding water and meat every time, quietly dipped his sleeve in some old soup, and when he went out, he quickly wrung out the old soup dipped in his sleeve. I have been saving for more than half a year every day, and the guy who has saved enough jars of old soup opened a braised meat shop opposite the braised meat Liu family, and the taste of the braised meat sold is not bad at all with the braised meat Liu family, and the old shopkeeper of the braised meat Liu family vomited blood!

And in the main gate of the fire, there were indeed characters who stole teachers and learned art in the early years. When the master who helped the dispensing of the medicine poured the dregs, he took the dregs back in his arms to ponder, and memorized the amount of various ingredients while mixing the subsoil, and even the master who guarded the gutter, just waiting for the waiting thing to wash the potion, so as to quickly scoop up the potion that flowed out of the gutter!

If there were really no means of prevention, I was afraid that the unique work and secret recipes in the main gate of the fire would have spread to the streets in Sijiu City a long time ago!

After washing the basin, and then re-filling a basin of water and putting it into the warm house, Xiang Youbao reached out and pulled the rope hanging at the door of the Sanjin courtyard. With a faintly audible sound of bells, but in a moment's time, Na Jiuye had already opened the gate of the Sanjin courtyard.

walked out of the courtyard of the third entrance, and then waited for Na Jiuye to relock the gate of the courtyard of the third entrance, and walked with Na Jiuye to the children who were standing in the courtyard of the second entrance.

It was almost an hour of hard work, and the children who were leaning on the horse stake were all sweating profusely, their legs were shaking like sifting chaff, and their arms were trembling like catkins in the wind, but no one opened their mouths to complain, all of them gritted their teeth and stared at each other.

Nodding with satisfaction, Xiang Youbao raised his eyes and looked at the nine monkeys standing at the front.

Maybe it was really because he had practiced some basic kung fu in martial arts when he was young, and the face of the nine monkeys was much better than that of the other children. It seemed to stand tightly and loosely on the horse's stake, and there was no sway in the jackdaw water posture posed by one hand. Between exhaling and breathing, I listened gently to the rhythm of my breathing. Looking at that posture, I'm afraid it's not difficult to stand for another hour!

Reaching out and taking two green bricks from the dry pond in the courtyard of Erjin, Xiang Youbao walked slowly to the side of the nine monkeys, and smiled at the nine monkeys who were still looking the same: "Master Nine Monkeys, can you still resist?" ”

Slowly exhaling with even strength, the nine monkeys responded to Xiang Youbao without moving: "It's okay!" ”

He put the two green bricks on the elbow of the nine monkeys, and the smile on Xiang Youbao's face did not change, but he ignored the nine monkeys anymore, and just shouted to the other children who were obviously about to be unable to hold on: "Take it all!" Don't sit down, stand, walk slowly around the yard and live your blood! ”

In the midst of the painful moans coming from the children's mouths, Xiang Youbao looked down at the nine monkeys who were still not moving, put his mouth to the ears of the nine monkeys and laughed softly: "Master of the nine monkeys, you have practiced, you will tie it for a while and a half, don't you worry?" ”

Hehe smiled evilly, and the leopard didn't wait for the nine monkeys to speak, and had already walked away with his hands behind his back
