Chapter 12: The Dead
Yang Buluo's human skin mask is different from the kind of Jianghu makeup that the little carpenter has heard of, it is a real piece of skin.
The skin will naturally not be human skin, but a kind of black goat lamb skin, a specialty of Xichuan Xiaoliangshan, using the most tender part of the inner layer, after some kind of secret tanning, more than 30 steps, and finally made a mask.
The little carpenter put on the mask in front of Gu Baiguo, and Gu Baiguo was surprised to see that his brother-in-law was gone, but he had become an inconspicuous middle-aged man.
The appearance of the mask was ordinary, even if I deliberately remembered it and threw it back into the pile, I couldn't find it.
The little carpenter felt that as soon as this thing was pressed to his face, it seemed to merge with the original skin, and he couldn't even touch the edges, and he couldn't tear it off.
Yang Buluo told the little carpenter that if he wanted to take off the mask, he had to wash his face with a certain proportion of salt water before he could take it off.
After taking it off, it needs to be soaked in the salt water of that special proportion for half an hour.
If they were not followed, the painstaking human skin mask would be scrapped and could no longer be reused.
Hearing this, the little carpenter was suspicious, went to the nearby grocery store to buy Baojing salt, according to Yang Buluo's teachings, after mixing it, he washed his face with the salt water, and the human skin mask that seemed to be fused with him was gently removed.
Yang Buluo gave him a sheepskin bag of salt water for safekeeping.
The little carpenter originally didn't believe Yang Buluo's description of the human skin mask, and felt that this thing was blown a little too much, and the effect might not be real.
He used it himself, and found that it worked even better than he had imagined.
This thing, at a critical moment, can save lives.
The little carpenter felt a little uncomfortable, in addition to expressing his gratitude, he also wanted to use money to express his heart, but Yang Buluo resolutely refused.
Yang Buluo told the little carpenter that when he was a child, his grandfather taught him that to be a man, he must understand Entu Bao, his life was saved by the little carpenter, and he has always kept this matter in mind, and now he can help the little carpenter, and his heart is very happy, and if he receives money, he will be sad.
After saying this, Yang Buluo bowed to the little carpenter and Gu Baiguo again, and then disappeared into the complicated streets of Erli Lane.
The little carpenter saw his back disappear into the crowd, turned around, and said to Gu Baiguo: "This son will become a great weapon in the future." ”
Gu Baiguo nodded, agreeing with his opinion, and asked again, "What about the child named An You'er?" ”
The little carpenter sighed and said, "I hope Aunt Qi can teach him well." ”
An You'er was originally a small town child who had no worries about food and clothing, but she had amazing adaptability, and after understanding her own situation, she was not as ridiculous and ignorant as ordinary children, and she grew up quickly.
But the little carpenter is not sure whether this kind of growth is a good thing or a bad thing for An You'er.
And An You'er also inherited some of his parents' characteristics, good or bad, which are still difficult to conclude for a while.
However, the little carpenter felt that although Aunt Qi was in charge of the leather and meat business, she gave people the feeling that she was not so vulgar and inferior, but had a temperament similar to Su Ciwen's reading of poetry and books.
It's like the "beauty" in the drama that describes the talented and beautiful woman, even if it is twilight, it has an indescribable charm.
She may be able to give An You'er a good childhood.
After the separation, only the little carpenter and Gu Baiguo were left, and there was a fat cat that was sometimes sleepy and sometimes disappeared - the fat guy played by himself most of the time, and the little carpenter didn't care about it.
It doesn't go far anyway.
The little carpenter asked about Gu Baiguo's plan, but Gu Baiguo was full of confidence before, but he was a little hesitant at the moment.
The little carpenter asked her, if there is any difficulty, you can just say it, and solve it together.
Gu Baiguo said: "Although the Great Snow Mountain is said to be of the same origin, but from beginning to end, it is divided into many branches, although I know Dong Qixi, but our room is a little far away from Dong Qixi, and he entered the WTO relatively early, so I have not met me, and I am not sure if he will sell me as a junior......
When the little carpenter saw her say this, he knew that Gu Baiguo was probably sure that he couldn't please Dong Qixi before he said such a thing.
If you can't use the friendship of the Great Snow Mountain to invite Dong Qixi, then you have to use other methods.
The little carpenter groaned and said, "It's okay, let's see people first......
He comforted Gu Baiguo, but Gu Baiguo seemed to let go of the burden in his heart and said, "Yes, no matter what, you have to give it a try." Go, go, go, let's go find someone. ”
She was high-spirited, but the little carpenter stopped her and said in the middle of the night, you went to the marshal's mansion, didn't you look for trouble? Let's find a place to rest for the night.
The two did not rush to find Dong Qixi, the live bead, but found a hostel nearby and rested.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Gu Baiguo got up early, went to the counter of the hostel to borrow a pen and paper, and then wrote a letter of worship, the little carpenter only got up at this time, and wanted to go to see it, but Gu Baiguo looked very mysterious, or shy, and did not want the little carpenter to see it, but covered it and sealed it.
The little carpenter said that he would accompany Gu Baiguo to deliver the worship post, and then meet Dong Qixi, but Gu Baiguo did not agree.
She said she would just go alone, and when everything was ready, she would bring someone over to see him.
The little carpenter persevered for a moment, and when he found that she had refused firmly, he said no more.
He felt that after coming to Jinguan City, this little girl looked a little weird, and she looked preoccupied, as if she was hiding something from him.
The little carpenter originally wanted to ask in detail, but he felt that Gu Baiguo didn't seem to be willing to talk about this matter openly, so he didn't try it anymore.
After all, if she was ready, she would definitely talk to him.
Gu Baiguo went out early in the morning, and the little carpenter was bored in the hostel, so he went out for a walk.
This place is not far from Erli Lane, which is a relatively civilian area in Jinguancheng, and there is a street nearby, where there are many shops and pedestrians.
The little carpenter wandered aimlessly, and in a short time he became hungry, and when he saw a burden-carrying man not far away, he walked over.
This dan sells dandan noodles, boiled handmade noodles, which can be added with two sauces, one is fried minced meat sauce, which is more expensive, and the other is fried fried tofu minced sauce, which is cheaper.
The noodles are poured with sauce, and the red oil chili peppers are drizzled, the noodles are thin, the marinade is crispy, salty, fresh and slightly spicy, and the aroma is tangy.
Hey, it almost swallowed your tongue.
The little carpenter ate three bowls in a row, and then ran to a nearby teahouse, and gave a few pennies, a large bowl of tea, and some more, as well as snacks and sunflower seeds.
Tea is naturally not a good tea, it is better to quench your thirst in a refreshing way, and there are many people in the teahouse who put the dragon gate array, even if it is in the morning, it is not a few, people from all walks of life, cows, ghosts, snakes and gods are mixed together, and there are singing, juggling, fighting crickets, it is really lively.
The little carpenter spent the morning in the teahouse, and listened to many things about the market.
At noon, he ate a bowl of bell dumplings next to him, and the taste was also good.
The dumplings were pioneered by a person named Zhong Xiesen decades ago, and later branched out, and became a famous food in Jinguancheng - these are when the little carpenter eats dumplings, a neighbor next to him saw that he was not a local, so they chatted with him, and the little carpenter listened while eating, and felt that the people here in Jinguancheng were really leisurely, and the food and clothing were completely different from the people he had contacted before.
People are really enjoying life, and they don't feel the influence of the troubled times at all.
Of course, these also have something to do with the Liu Dashuai in the Marshal's Mansion.
The little carpenter was thinking, he didn't know what the legendary ten-mile ocean field in the magic capital would look like.
What kind of way do the people there live?
In the afternoon, he went back to the hostel, and when he didn't see Gu Baiguo coming back, he went to a nearby blacksmith shop, and saw that the old man's craftsmanship was not bad, so he chatted with the blacksmith for a while, and customized a full set of tools for carpentry craftsmanship with him, and the specifications of each tool, as well as special requirements, etc., were all discussed, and then paid a deposit.
It was a tool for him to eat, and he had lost some of it at Liu's house in Qiancheng before, and then completely lost it in a small village outside Chongqing.
No matter what outsiders think of him, in his heart, the little carpenter is still an ordinary craftsman.
When he was done with a bunch of things, what he wanted to do was to build a house, and then improve his craft, and rely on this job to make a living, instead of any other mess.
In order to restore the previous tools as much as possible, the little carpenter and the blacksmith kept chatting, and drew pictures on the ground to explain in detail, but suddenly, he felt a somewhat unexpected figure in the corner of his eye.
He seemed to have seen Cheng Han.
It is the beloved son of Cheng Lanting, the new leader of the Yucheng Robe Brothers' Association, a dead person.
What's going on?
The little carpenter was stunned for a moment, and ran out quickly, but he was already gone.
He scratched his head, feeling that he might have misseen what had just happened, and then the old blacksmith came out and asked him what was wrong, and the little carpenter shook his head and said that it was nothing......
Just as he was saying this, the little carpenter saw another person, that is, the little Taoist priest in Qingcheng Mountain.
The little carpenter hurriedly greeted Four-Eyes, but Four-Eyes heard it, looked back at him, but did not come, but waved his hand, as if something was wrong, and then turned and disappeared into the crowd.
The little carpenter was a little confused, said hello to the old blacksmith, and then chased after him. As a result, he pursued all the way, but in the end he did not meet the four eyes of the little Taoist again.
The little carpenter found the evening for a long time, but he didn't see it, he was a little lost in his heart, returned to the hostel, opened the door of the room, and saw that in the dark, Gu Baiguo was sitting on the ground, burying his head in his knees, and was crying profusely, the little carpenter hurriedly went up and said What's wrong?
When Gu Baiguo heard his words, he hugged his leg all of a sudden, and cried: "I'm sorry brother-in-law, I didn't get things done......"
