Almost off the day of the winter solstice, the pedestrians on the street all called the little north wind to pull out their heads and shrink their heads, and they couldn't wait to stuff their necks into the cavity to keep out the cold, and the soles of their feet were also falling fast, even if there was no fire at home to keep warm, it was better than calling the little north wind on the street to blow the bones and chill!

But even in such a cold weather, the shops on the streets in Sijiu City did not delay opening their doors early to do business. In the early days of the day, some of the more diligent young men in the shops had already cleaned up the scenes and bits and pieces in the shops, and the piggybackers had not forgotten to clean up a large piece of the street in front of the shop. This also attracted the little guys who slept late in the shop next to them, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and at the same time busy with the shopkeeper's high and low counting lessons.

Seeing that the sky is already bright, and there are some pedestrians on the street, the famous porcelain trading on Zhushikouer Street has stood up to welcome the big guy who greeted the customer, and shouted with a bright voice as in the past: "There are customers who come and go, know how to know the goods, thank you to take a step forward, borrow your blessing to reward your face, the time-honored brand of Run Tianqing in Sijiu City, pay attention to a genuine, childless and undeceived, and rely on the patron to appreciate....... cough cough ......."

As if a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat, and like a breath of air that split his lungs, the big guy who greeted the customer in front of the shop had just shouted out to welcome the customer's business scriptures, but he screamed a fierce cough and interrupted the tone!

Listening to the big guy who greeted the guests outside the shop, he had already been talking about the ripe business into a guillotine play, and the shopkeeper who was originally holding a pot of small leaf tea and sitting in the shop with his eyes slightly closed and listening to his head shook his head, suddenly called the tea in his mouth and choked his throat, and his front and back feet followed by a series of coughs, coughing so red that his face was red, and his eyes were full of stars, and then he took a breath under the service of the two little apprentices who wiped their chests and patted their backs. The big guy who pointed to the door of the shop and showed half of his back shouted: "I said, what are you doing this morning?" People are up, and their throats and eyes haven't woken up yet, aren't they? ”

The big guy standing at the door turned around a little aggrieved, and shouted to the shopkeeper with a sullen face: "Shopkeeper, this really doesn't blame me - as soon as I opened my voice, a fly crashed into my throat and eyes, and I was still nauseous......."

"Flies? Still hitting you in the throat? I said you didn't learn all the business skills. The number of nonsense is understood? It's all on the winter solstice, where can there be flies flying outside? ”

Before the words fell, along the small north wind in the morning, seven or eight flies the size of mung beans had already flown into the shop. I don't know if the flies that haven't frozen to death on the day of the winter solstice really want to give the shopkeeper of Runtianqing the eye medicine, and two flies circled around the shopkeeper's body twice, and plunged into the tea bowl of the shopkeeper on the table next to him.

Looking at the two flies struggling with their wings in the tea bowl, the shopkeeper held his breath for a long time before he muttered: "This ....... The time is not right, and the world is not quiet. All the moths have come out....... On the day of the winter solstice, can there still be flies flying all over the sky? Evil nature! ”

It's not just the evil nature of the shopkeeper of Run Tianqing, but after a bowl of tea, many shops on Zhushikouer Street have seen those flies the size of mung beans and dark green in color. Suddenly, inside and outside many shops on Zhushikouer Street, there were also shopkeepers or customers who came to buy things and shouted: "Hey....... I said shopkeeper, your feelings in this shop are pouring pickle jars, aren't they? How can you attract so many flies? ”

"This master, you're really joking with me, aren't you? I'm a tea shop, and I don't dare to enter the house with any strange smells on weekdays. That is, when eating, you also avoid things like green onions, ginger, and garlic, so you can still put it in the pickle jar in the shop? ”

"That's right......... Or which shop has opened the cotton bales of the next year and the doll jars of the next year (Note 1)? ”

"That can't be?! The pavement on the street of Zhushikou. It's all newly built houses and shops after the fire, where can anyone store those things that are not needed? ”

In the chaotic discussion, almost half of the shops on Zhushikouer Street, there were people standing on the street, staring at the flies flying around, and no one paid attention to a shop on Zhushikouer Street. There were two strong men in top hats and thick cloth robes, with their bodies particularly bloated, drooping their heads and muttering words in their mouths, and a pair of hands shrunk in their sleeves were also gently swinging, and from time to time a dozen flies flew away from the sleeves.

There is a way to look at the sky to see the strange, get together to see the lively, so that the people on the street of Zhushikou Street are full of people shouting and shouting, and several little apprentices who have just stood up in front of the main gate of the fire to welcome guests. They all turned their heads to look at this lively scene. Among them, two clever little apprentices stared at the excitement for a moment, but they suddenly turned their heads and ran towards the main hall of the fire. The person was still trotting in the lobby, and the shouting voice had already rushed to the second person into the courtyard: "Senior brother, senior brother, come out and take a look at the face outside.......

As soon as the shouting started, Xiang Youbao had already opened the curtain on the door to the second courtyard, and smiled at the two little apprentices who trotted into the lobby: "Look at what scene? Which shop is marrying a daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law, or which patron is tearing up with the shopkeeper on the street? ”

Suddenly stopped, and the two little apprentices who crashed into the lobby almost shouted at Xiang Youbao in unison: "Senior brother, the flies on the street outside are piled up, and they are crashing into the shops everywhere, and they are about to run to our hall entrance when they speak.......

Blinking his eyes, Xiang Youbao's brows furrowed slightly, but he still smiled and said to the two little apprentices who crashed into the door to report the news: "It's all the days of the winter solstice, where can I .......?"

Before the words fell, a few flies the size of mung beans were already buzzing and flapping their wings and flying into the lobby of the main gate of the fire, crashing around without a head. Before they could wait for a leopard, they took a closer look at this strange scene. A few young men standing in front of the main entrance of the fire hall were already screaming and crashing into the lobby, their hands still waving wildly above their heads, driving away the flies that were colliding with them in a pile.

Without waiting for the leopard to make a slight move, Hu Qianli, who was sitting in the ear room of the main hall of the fire, had already suddenly opened the low hanging curtain at the door of the ear room, and whispered coldly: "Go!" ”

With a low sound from Hu Qianli's mouth, a black yellow skin suddenly burst out from Hu Qianli's sleeve, and the four claws had just landed. He turned around and snorted and let out a stench. Even from afar, they were already screaming at the end of their noses, and a feeling of disgust suddenly surged in their chests!

With the stench of the dark yellow skin, the flies flying in the air suddenly rained down as if they had cast a spell, and in a moment they spread a thin layer on the floor of the terrazzo green brick. I don't know if it's because of this stench, and even the mung bean-sized flies flying outside the gate of the main gate of the fire hall are all far away.

With a cold snort, Hu Qianli gently swayed his sleeve. asked the black-skinned yellow skin to drill back into the sleeve tube, but on the other hand, he reached out and took out a small bamboo pipe from his arms, and shouted to a few little apprentices at the entrance of the lobby who were dizzy and smelly: "One pill per person, just put it under the root of the tongue!" ”

Hurriedly rushed to Hu Qianli's side, Xiang Youbao took the small bamboo pipe, poured out a sycamore-sized pill from the bamboo pipe and threw it into his mouth, pinched his nose and asked Hu Qianli: "Uncle Hu, what kind of thing you trained is really .......?"

There is no such thing as a leopard finishing the sentence. Hu Qianli had already waved his hand slightly, and strode to the outside of the entrance of the main gate of the fire. With a cold face, he glanced at the streets on both sides of the hall, and suddenly snorted coldly, and waved his hands into the air: "I don't know which way a friend came to teach me the craftsmanship of the main gate of the fire, and I just entered the door and talked generously, so why bother to disturb the neighbors with some boring things?!" ”

Although Hu Qianli's voice is not high, the adjustable door is cold and hard. Resting on the left side of the gate of the main gate of the fire to see some of the lively shopkeepers, the guys listened to Hu Qianli's voice was not good, and immediately looked towards the gate of the main gate of the fire gate, and all the messy discussions in his mouth stopped, and suddenly it was a cold scene.

Slowly lowering his hands, Hu Qianli's eyes stared at the two bloated strong men standing under the eaves not far from the entrance of the main gate of the fire. But he reached out and took out a finger-length and longan-thick ink-colored fragrance from his arms, and handed it back to a little apprentice of Huozhengmen who came over, still shouting in a cold voice: "Light this big incense and run to the limelight, walk around the street, and go to this bad luck on the street!" ”

With the pill handed over by Hu Qianli in his mouth, the little apprentices in the main gate of the fire no longer smelled a trace of foul smell on the tip of their noses, but even their breathing was much smoother. Neatly agreed to Hu Qianli's instructions, the little apprentice who took over the big incense rushed back to the second courtyard, and after lighting the big incense in the stove, he hit the gate of the main gate of the fire again, and ran straight to the direction of the upper wind.

Following the direction of the small north wind, a strange fragrance wafted out from the big incense held high in the hands of the little apprentice at the main gate of the fire, and it didn't take long for a moment to fill the street. With the strange fragrance slowly passing by, the flies the size of mung beans that were originally flying indiscriminately in the small north wind suddenly seemed to be like rats seeing old cats. After a cup of tea, there was no fly in mid-air, and there were many fly corpses on the street.......

Seeing the scene of this big Xiangjing Street, the shopkeepers and guys on Zhushikouer Street, as well as those customers who bought things early, couldn't see that this was someone fighting on the street, and they all shouted one after another: "Master Hu, it's good!" ”

"Who the is this? Relying on the number of roads that can't be grasped on the table, you dare to put it on the street of Zhushikouer and make a mess? Master Hu, did you piggyback on the owner of that? ”

"That's right! Learning from the craft, discussing the rules, there have long been precedents in Sijiu City, where is there this ignorant turtle grandson who disturbs others on the street? ”

Staring coldly at the two bloated strong men standing under the eaves not far away, Hu Qianli looked up to the sky again, and his tone became more and more cold: "As the old saying goes, leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future!" No matter where the friends and peers come from, they must come to the door according to the rules to learn, and I will naturally welcome and invite them, but if someone makes such a call for the next three indiscriminate roads to disturb people and purity........ Then it's no wonder that the people in my fire gate are not emotional! (To be continued.) )

PS: Note 1: Doll jars are usually put into clay pots by some superstitious people in the north after abortion, and bury them deep under the eaves of the house, in order to pray for the safety of the next baby in the house. There are also people in cults who delusionally hope that they can make money in this way.
