Wu Lao Er suddenly changed his attitude, not to mention that Qin Baichuan was a little surprised, Old Man Wu was also surprised, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that ...... Mr. Qin, your face is bigger than that of Xiao Lao'er. If I had known this, I would have told you the route, and you should find it yourself, so that I would not be scolded. ”

"Lao Tzu scolded you because you were not angry! Even if you don't come, I'm going to go to your old store and scold you! Although Old Man Wu didn't speak loudly, he was still heard by Wu Lao Er, and he said irritably: "Don't give Lao Tzu nonsense, since you're here, get in!" ”

"Okay, second brother, you said you, why bother......" Old Man Wu didn't have any dignity in front of this younger brother, muttered a few words in a low voice, and led Qin Baichuan into the small mansion.

Qin Baichuan looked at it a little, there was a roulette wheel at the bottom of this chai door, and the roulette wheel was connected to the bamboo, and there was also a chance in the room, so he realized the opening and closing of the chai door through the rotation of the gear, which was quite a bit of a modern mobile door. After entering the courtyard and glancing at the layout of the courtyard, Qin Baichuan seemed to understand a little why Old Man Chu had to ask him to invite Wu Erya.

There is a row of drying racks on the east side of the courtyard, some diamond-shaped supports are made below the drying racks, it seems to have a fight with the modern telescopic hangers, next to the hangers is a well, there is a waterwheel on the well, the waterwheel pumps out the water and falls directly on a giant gear, the gear rotates, and the other end is connected with a woodcarved puppet, the puppet holds a stone hammer in his hand, and is playing the new rice in the stone trough at once, but it cleverly saves manpower. In addition, there are several puppets standing at the root of the wall, these puppets are holding brooms in their hands, it seems that they are usually used to clean the courtyard, but now the puppets are standing still, Qin Baichuan can't see the fame.

Without waiting for Qin Baichuan to see clearly, Old Man Wu had already taken him to the door, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door twice, the wooden door was still not opened, Tan Jiaotou took the initiative to guard the door, Qin Baichuan and Old Man Wu entered one after another, and at the first glance they saw all kinds of gear wooden handles in the room, a thin old man who was five or six years younger than Old Man Wu, and was also slightly hunchbacked, looked at them with an angry face.

"Ahem, second brother, eldest brother has told you to eat a little more usually, look at you, you have lost weight again...... Hey, isn't there enough silver? Old Man Wu took out a silver ticket from his arms.

"Put away your shit! Even if I starve to death, I don't want you to pay half a penny! The old man's beard was all open, and he said angrily at Boss Wu.

"Second brother, eldest brother doesn't mean anything else......" Old Man Wu hunched his back even more and whispered.

"Shut up!" The old man didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and looked at Qin Baichuan with a scolding look: "You are Qin Baichuan?" ”

"Junior Qin Baichuan, I have seen Wu senior." This old man's temper Qin Baichuan can be regarded as comprehending, and bowed deeply.

"Bullshit old-timers, Lao Tzu's name is Wu Erya!" The old man was angry, and said angrily: "I'm not walking with you, and I'm not related to you, so I don't need to be called a senior!" Or call me by my name, or call me by my nickname, duck! ”

"Duck ......" Qin Baichuan grinned, the second Ao, the old man was really angry.

"Say, what are you looking for Lao Tzu for?" Wu Erya didn't mean to let Qin Baichuan and the others sit down at all, she drank her own water and got straight to the point.

"Qin Mou's visit this time is to invite you out of the mountain......" Qin Baichuan didn't go around the bend, and said cleanly: "I spent a lot of money to buy the property of the Chu family's workshop in Fu Python Mountain, and there is currently a lack of a big manager, old-timers, you can see ......"

"Don't call me an old-timer!" Wu Erya was furious.

"Oooh...... Wu...... Master Duck, do you think you're interested? Qin Baichuan was also entangled, he didn't let him call his seniors, and he didn't want to call him by his name directly, so he had to add a "master" to the flower name to show respect.

Wu Erya seemed to be quite satisfied with the word "master", and looked at Qin Baichuan with slanted eyes: "Heh, Mr. Qin's ability is not small, Fu Python Mountain is the stubborn lifeblood of Chu Lao, even if you give him a gold mountain, he will not sell it to you!" ”

Although this old man stayed at home, he seemed to know a lot about the Chu family, and Qin Baichuan didn't lie, and said frankly: "Don't hide it from the seniors, the property of Fu Python Mountain was indeed not purchased by Qin, and there are some reasons why it is inconvenient to say, but one thing can be guaranteed, Fu Python Mountain is indeed taken care of by Qin now." ”

"It's inconvenient to say?" Wu Erya pursed her lips disdainfully: "If it's inconvenient to say it, don't say it, Lao Tzu doesn't want to hear it yet!" For the sake of Lu Daring's face, Lao Tzu has seen it and seen it, you can go! ”

"Master Duck......" The old man seemed to have eaten gunpowder, and seeing that everyone was angry, Qin Baichuan gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, since I sincerely invited the master to go out of the mountain, I shouldn't hide it...... Well, the master may also know that the current Da Song is surging, and all forces are ready to give it a go...... Old Man Chu didn't want to get involved in any disputes, so he threw out the fat piece of Fu Python Mountain and was taken away by Qin. ”

"Huh!" Wu Erya couldn't hear what it was in his voice: "After a few years of being a secretary of the Ministry of Industry, I got my name, and I got the silver after nearly 20 years of development in Jiangling, and now that I am older, I will quit the battle after gaining fame and fortune!" He Chu Lao is stubborn, but he has a good calculation! ”

Qin Baichuan was silent, in fact, Old Man Chu was not going to withdraw from the battle after gaining fame and fortune, but he saw through the heat and coldness of this world and did not want to get involved in disputes again. However, Qin Baichuan knew it in his heart, but he didn't explain it, maybe ...... Wu Erya also knew that he was just saying this on purpose.

"Let me ask you, since Chu Lao Yan handed over Fu Python Mountain to you, then he shouldn't stand idly by, why did he let you come to me?" Wu Erya's voice was a little lower: "Don't you know that in this world, the person the old man hates the most is him?" ”

"Peers are not necessarily enemies." Qin Baichuan puffed up his chest and said: "Maybe because of some old things, Master Duck has a grudge against Old Man Chu, but Old Man Chu admits that he doesn't accept anyone in this world when it comes to strange and obscene skills, and the only thing he admires is you, Master Duck." ”

"Oh?" Wu Erya raised her eyebrows: "Old Chu really said that?" ”

"Qin swears to the sky." Qin Baichuan raised three fingers.

"Hmph, he's insightful!" A smug flashed between Wu Erya's eyebrows, and she said with a straight face: "But even so, the old man is used to living a lazy life, and he doesn't want to go out of the rivers and lakes again!" Besides, he is stubborn and unwilling to participate in the dispute, am I willing? ”

"Master Duck, Old Man Chu is just because he doesn't want to participate in the dispute, so he handed over Fu Python Mountain to Qin. When I asked the master to go out of the mountain, I didn't ask you to join any faction, but I just developed something new and equipped the Bliss Army for self-protection. Qin Baichuan said honestly.

"Now that the situation is unclear, you are out of self-preservation, and the situation is clear in the future, who can guarantee that you will not enter the officialdom?" Wu Erya's attitude is still resolute.

"Master, I don't know anything, please give me advice." Qin Baichuan took a deep breath.

"Say!"

"Qin doesn't enter the officialdom or not, or the master doesn't do things for the government, what does it matter? I heard the old man Chu say about the things of the master back then, is that the reason why you escaped from the world? Qin Baichuan asked.

"Isn't that enough?" Wu Erya's eyes widened: "Even a little eunuch who runs errands dares to ask me for silver, let alone other officials!" Dasong officialdom is corrupt and incompetent, so it will be defeated and move south, which is the best proof! Qin Baichuan, I advise you to be careful with Lao Tzu when you speak, Lu Daring is a character, so Lao Tzu sees you, but you don't have to think that Lu Daring can suppress Lao Tzu! ”

"I didn't mean to take Master Lu to suppress the master." Qin Baichuan explained, and suddenly laughed: "If the little eunuch asks for benefits is the reason why you will not be an official for life, then Qin wants to say that the master's heart is too small." ”

"Mr. Qin, don't talk nonsense!" Old Man Wu shuddered for a moment, in the day, his second brother was already angry, and you kid went to add fuel to the fire for Mao.

"Let him speak!" Wu Erya's face was gloomy.

"Qin had read some Buddhist classics before, and someone asked the Buddha that monks should have six pure roots, but why did some monks drink wine and eat meat, and even commit adultery? Does it mean that Buddhism is so confusing that the so-called teachings are all deceitful? Qin Baichuan quoted the scriptures and said: "In the face of criticism, the Buddha smiled slightly, grabbed a handful of grains, picked out some grates, and explained, there are still grates in this bag of grain, let alone strong beings?" Everybody has their own habits, and the Sangha is good and bad, it's nature, but you can't deny Buddhism as a whole just because one or two monks don't keep the precepts. ”

"I don't mean to accuse the master in this story, I just want to say that the little eunuch is just a personal act, so why should the master bother. Qin didn't know what Qing officials there were in the officialdom, but at least Lord Lu was different from the little eunuch. Qin Baichuan said seriously: "With Lord Lu personally in charge, will the days of a bright and prosperous court be far away?" ”

"Hmph, although Lao Tzu has lived in a thatched hut for a long time, he also knows that Mr. Qin has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and what else can he say together!" Wu Erya was not angry, and said in a cold voice.

"I really have." Qin Baichuan also let it go: "The master's strange and obscene skills are breathtaking, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the gear transmission outside the door is also a masterpiece, the master has such a craft but doesn't want to benefit the people, isn't it too selfish?" ”

"Of course, master, you can say that you are short-sighted and don't want to work for the benefit of sentient beings, in this case, Qin has nothing to say, I just feel sorry for the master." Qin Baichuan sighed and said: "Obviously, the master has the opportunity to go down in history, but in order to fight for a moment, he is willing to live in seclusion here, and he wasted this opportunity in vain!" A hundred years later, who will be able to inherit the master's exquisite craftsmanship? ”

Qin Baichuan added this sentence later is a reference to the words of the old naughty boy in "The Condor Heroes" to persuade the Golden Wheel Dharma King, the Golden Wheel Dharma King's martial arts are world-famous, but the two apprentices are not angry, Darba is too stupid, Huo Du is too cunning, resulting in no successor to the Golden Wheel Dharma King, and he is being poked by the old naughty boy to the sore spot, so he insisted on accepting Guo Xiang as an apprentice. In this era, everyone who has the ability pays attention to inheritance, and Qin Baichuan also has the intention of using this as a breakthrough to impress Wu Erya.

"Then in your opinion, what should Lao Tzu do?" Wu Erya couldn't see the expression on her face, and asked again.
