When Shuang'er led Ao Lie to her room and saw Ao Lie excitedly pounce on the earthy incense piled up in the corner, she realized that she had completely misunderstood Ao Lie. The excitement of the second son of the family is on the pile of earth incense, not on himself.

While breathing a sigh of relief, Shuang'er couldn't help but feel a little regretful, who doesn't like a young man like Xiang Ergongzi, who is both civil and military, talented and good-looking? Well, what was I thinking? The second son regards me as a sister, and I treat the second son as a brother, how can I have such a non-dividing thought? Frost shook her head hurriedly, trying to shake the cranky thoughts out of her mind.

Ao Lie's voice sounded at the right time, which made Shuang'er suddenly relieved of her predicament: "Sister Shuang'er, please go and get me a carving knife, a pair of scissors, a small pot of fire paint, and some Caihou paper." Shuang'er answered, and walked out of the city.

After a while, Shuang'er walked in with the things Ao Lie needed, and asked suspiciously, "Second son, what are you going to do with these things?" Ao Lie stretched out his hand to take a bunch of things from Shuang'er's hand, and then placed them on the table one by one, and said in a low voice: "Sister Shuang'er, you have to keep this matter secret for me, watch my movements carefully for a while, remember every detail, and we will rely on these things to supplement the family in the future." ”

Shuang'er asked puzzledly, "Subsidize the family?" The thirty dollars that the lord gives you every month is not enough for you to build weapons, can these things still exceed thirty dollars? Ao Lie turned back to Shuang'er and smiled, and said mysteriously: "Sister Shuang'er, do you believe it?" Wait for what I made, let alone 30 yuan, even 3,000 yuan can be sold out. After speaking, he didn't wait for Shuang'er to answer, and added to himself: "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." Shuang'er nodded seriously, and her tone was full of trust: "I believe it, no matter what the second son says, I believe it." ”

Ao Lie felt Shuang'er's trust, and his heart was moved, in his previous life, except for his own master on Wudang Mountain, no one had ever cared about himself like this. But since he was reborn, his parents, eldest brother Liu He, grandfather Ao Lao, and Shuang'er in front of him have cared for themselves meticulously. This made Ao Lie once again firm in the direction of his efforts, he must stabilize the Han Dynasty and let thousands of ordinary people in the world live a happy and stable life.

Stretching out his hand and pulling Shuang'er to sit down, Ao Lie said seriously: "Sister Shuang'er, I have never regarded you as an outsider, let alone as a subordinate, in my heart, you are my relatives and my sister, so I am willing to tell you my secrets, carefully look at my approach, if you get married one day, you can also use this craft to support your family." ”

Shuang'er hurriedly stretched out her jade hand to cover Ao Lie's mouth, and said angrily: "What nonsense, Shuang'er will always be the second son's person." After speaking, he found that there was a huge language problem in his words, and he didn't know how to remedy it for a while, so he hurriedly withdrew his jade hand, and his pretty face was flushed in a hurry. Ao Lie was also embarrassed, coughed to hide the embarrassment in front of him, and then said, "Then let's start." Frost hummed softly.

Ao Lie spread the Caihou paper on the table, and then used scissors to cut the paper into a palm-sized piece, and in the blink of an eye, a piece of Caihou paper was cut into more than thirty small pieces by him. The Caihou paper of the Eastern Han Dynasty is the most primitive paper invented by Cai Lun, the texture is rough, the color is yellowish, and ordinary people will not use such paper to write, one is because the texture of the paper is not good, and the other is because it is not easy to preserve, and it is easy to break. Therefore, the paper of this period has not been widely used, most of them are Taoist priests, will use a large number of this kind of yellow paper, it is said that the Yellow Turban Rebel Army led by Zhang Jiao, this kind of paper is used when worshipping the sky.

Putting aside the cut piece of paper, Ao Lie picked up the carving knife with one hand and a piece of soil fragrant leaf with the other, and then used the carving knife to follow the veins of the soil fragrant leaf and carefully remove the leaf stem. Then put down the carving knife, pick up the soil fragrant leaves with both hands, and rub them vigorously until they are finely chopped. After that, I picked up a handful of leaves, put them on a piece of paper that had been cut before, and along the corner of the paper, my hands began to rub together, and the paper was rolled into a cylinder, and the earthy leaves were tightly wrapped inside. Finally, Ao Lie took the fire paint and lightly touched it on the small paper to make the small paper stick together and not fall apart.

After this series of actions last night, Ao Lie turned his head and asked Shuang'er, "Remember?" Frost nodded lightly and said, "It's very simple, I remember it all." A bright smile appeared on Ao Lie's face, and he said: "I'm doing a few, and you can do the rest, there will be the last process tomorrow, and we will complete it together when the time comes." Frost said, "Let me do the rest, I can do it." Ao Lie was stunned, and then nodded briskly.

When Frost made the first cigarette roll, her movements were still a little sluggish, but from the second one, her movements became more and more proficient. It only took more than half an hour to make hundreds of cigarette rolls.

Leaving Shuang'er's room, Ao Lie came to his parents' bedroom, saw that the light was still lit in the room, and stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door. "What?" Father's majestic voice came from the room. Ao Lie hurriedly replied: "Father, it's a child." ”

"Come in."

"Yes." After Ao Lie agreed, he gently pushed open the door and walked into the room, where he saw his mother, Mrs. Ao, waiting for his father to wash his feet. Ao Lie bowed and said, "Father and mother are fine." Then he walked to the bed, bent down, stretched out his hand and pressed the mother's plain hand, which was still stretched out in the basin, and whispered, "Mother, let the child come." ”

Mrs. Ao was stunned, and then smiled: "How can you let the child wash his father's feet, your hands are holding pens and knives, how can you take the footwater?" I'll do it anyway. Ao Lie didn't speak, took his mother's hands out of the basin, then pulled her mother to her feet, and pressed her back on the bed. After that, he bent down again and washed his father's feet seriously.

Liu Yu only had time to say two words: "Lie'er" and then choked up and couldn't speak. Mrs. Ao sat aside, stretched out her hand and pressed on the back of Liu Yu's hand, and was also very relieved in her heart, and said, "Husband, Lie'er has grown up. Liu Yu wiped the corners of his eyes without a trace, and then said, "Yes, we should be happy." ”

Ao Lie finished washing his father's feet, and then picked up a towel on the side to dry his father's feet. After that, he changed a basin of water, brought it to Mrs. Ao again, and said, "Mother, it's time for you to wash your feet." Mrs. Ao hurriedly dodged and said, "It's not proper, how can a man wash a woman's feet?" Never. ”

Ao Lie saw an opportunity, grabbed Mrs. Ao's feet, then raised his head to look at Mrs. Ao, and said word by word: "The man has gold under his knees, and he only kneels to heaven and earth and his parents." What's more, it's just a little thing of washing your feet? Without waiting for Mrs. Ao to answer, Liu Yu laughed and praised: "What a man has gold under his knees, and he only kneels to heaven and earth and his parents." Then he turned to Mrs. Ao and said, "Madam, I think this matter will depend on Lie'er." When Mrs. Ao heard this, she didn't struggle to dodge, but her eyes were full of bright tears.

After washing his mother's feet, Ao Lie stood up and said to his parents, "Father and mother, the child has made a cigarette today, and I want to sell it in the market tomorrow to supplement the family." Liu Yu asked in surprise: "What is a cigarette?" Ao Lie thought about it for a while, and changed to an easily acceptable statement: "It's incense, but the incense made by children is not burned in the incense burner, but after it is burned, it is for people to taste with their mouths, so that although the range of aroma is reduced a lot, the taste will be more direct, and it has the effect of refreshing the mind and restoring physical strength." ”

Liu Yu and Mrs. Ao glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes. Liu Yu opened his mouth and asked: "Lie'er, if this thing is really as you said, it will definitely be widely sold and popular in the world after a long time, but where did you get the method of making this cigarette roll?" ”

Ao Lie knew that since he was reborn, all kinds of wild ideas can always shock people, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will be regarded as a demon, and he thought of a prevarication method. So, Ao Lie knelt down in front of his parents and said: "The child has something that has been hidden in his heart and has never been told to anyone. Since the child was three years old, there was a master who came to the child's room every night to teach the child various skills, and the child's usual practice of Tai Chi swordsmanship, Tai Chi marksmanship, Tai Chi boxing and Tai Chi Mianzhang were taught by this master, and some miscellaneous studies were also taught to the child. ”

Liu Yu glanced at Mrs. Ao again, and was shocked in his heart. According to Ao Lie, isn't there a high-ranking person in the family who has lived in seclusion since five years ago? Liu Yu hurriedly asked, "Where is this master now?" You tell me more. ”

Ao Lie continued: "Later, the child worshipped this master as a teacher, but the master never told me his name, I only knew that the old man was called Ziguang Sanren, and he was the thirty-second generation descendant of the Wudang Sect. As for Master's whereabouts, I lost contact with Master not long ago, and I can feel that I am afraid that I will never be able to meet Master again in this life. Speaking of this, Ao Lie's tone fell. At first, he just planned to deceive his parents with good intentions, but then as he spoke, he couldn't help but report the name of the master in his previous life. In his previous life, Ao Lie was an orphan, and he was abandoned when he was three years old, thanks to his master, who rescued him back to Wudang Mountain and cultivated him carefully, and later taught Ao Lie what he had learned in his life. But now, he has been transported to more than 2,000 years ago, forever separated from his master.

Thinking of this, two lines of hot tears couldn't help but slide down, Ao Lie turned around, faced the direction of Wudang Mountain in the south, kowtowed three times, and said in a choked voice: "Master, the disciple is not filial, and he can no longer serve you." ”

Seeing Ao Lie's sad appearance, Mrs. Ao couldn't bear it, and hurriedly walked down, hugged Ao Lie's head, and hugged it tightly in her arms. He comforted softly: "Lie'er, there's nothing to do, maybe that master will appear one day in the future, and then you can continue to serve the master." ”

Ao Lie felt the warmth from his mother's arms, his heart gradually calmed down, he reached out to wipe away the tears on his face, patted his mother's hand with his backhand, and said, "Mother, the child is fine, don't worry." ”

The mother and son stood up with each other's arms, and Ao Lie helped Mrs. Ao to sit back on the couch, and then continued: "The child made some tobacco according to the production method taught by the master this time. Unexpectedly, he missed the master, so that he snorted and the child was rude. ”

Liu Yu waved his hand again and again and said: "It's okay, respecting teachers should be the way to go, why is it rude?" Madame, quickly take a piece of spice and give it to Lie'er, and tomorrow when you make tobacco, your mother and I will go and watch it. ”
