Chapter 62: The Wooden Man

Even though it was already time, there were still many people on both sides of the street. Although it is not brightly lit, everything has a hazy beauty in the dim yellow light.

Tao Yao walked side by side with him on this street, looking at the various states of life, and there was such a hope in a trance, if he could go on like this in this life.

Suddenly, a child ran through between the two and accidentally bumped into Tao Yao. Tao Yao couldn't dodge in time because she was distracted, and was knocked back a few steps.

Mo Li looked at the child, who had already run away, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I was distracted just now. Although Tao Yao didn't see the love between men and women in his eyes, the concern in his eyes was real, making her feel warm in this cool night.

Tao Yao found that there was an old man carving wood not far behind Mo Li. The old man's temples were gray, but he looked in good spirits. He took a carving knife, and a single piece of wood carved out a thousand shapes under his hand.

Tao Yao saw that the row of carved wooden figures in front of him was lifelike, and even the lines in the corners of his eyes and the smile on the corners of his mouth were very realistic.

"Old man, can you carve two of us in the same way?"

The old man glanced up at the two of them and smiled, "Okay, no problem." ”

At this moment, it is a handicraft work, although the old man is not slow, but it will take a while. So while carving, he talked to two people.

"Are you two newlyweds?"

Mo Li hurriedly waved his hand, "Old man, you misunderstood, we are senior brothers and sisters." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a childhood sweetheart who hasn't gotten married yet. As he spoke, he continued to carve on his hand. "Our Dazhou people are open, and unmarried men and women meet to travel together, and there is nothing to do, so there is no need to hide it like this. Besides, Lao Suo's eyes are pointed, and you two look like a husband and wife at first glance. ”

Tao Yao laughed in her heart, isn't it very husband and wife? In the previous life, he was a husband and wife for many years, and this was the appearance in the previous life.

Mo Li sighed helplessly, thinking that it was better not to explain, and if he continued to explain, this old man would think that they were hiding it, and it would be good if they knew it themselves.

The old man also said to himself, "I have carved wooden figures here for many years, and it is the first time I have seen such a pair." I'll give you a good carving. ”

"Well, thank you. Tao Yao sincerely thanked him, watching the wood in the hands of the old man, gradually showing the outline of the two of them, and his heart was about to overflow with happiness.

"You're welcome, Lao Suo, I'm eating this bowl of handicraft rice. Although he said this, hearing someone thank him so sincerely, the old man was still very happy in his heart, and the movements in his hands became more refined.

"Old man, is there anything interesting here in Hojing?" Tao Yao thought to herself, she had to make it worthwhile.

The old man looked up at the two of them again, "No wonder, I thought that the two of them were born before, but it turned out that the two of them were from other places." I said, if I had seen such a beautiful pair, I would definitely remember it. Let's take this pickaxe Beijing, there is a Nuwa temple in the west of the city, how many good men and women go to worship, you can also go to see, the scenery around is also very good. ”

"Really, then we'll have time to check it out!"

As he spoke, the wooden figure in the old man's hand was carved.

"Here, take a look, if there's anything inappropriate, I'll change it for you!"

The old man carved the peach first, the bun on his head, the earrings in his ears, and even the smile in the corners of his eyes and the fluttering hair are very vivid and vivid, as if he is going to become a walking villain in the next second.

Tao Yao immediately couldn't put it down, "Very good, very good, nothing inappropriate." Thank you. Hurry up and carve the other one for us!"

"Oh, that's good. When the old man saw that the guests were satisfied, he was naturally happy, and then continued his work.

The old man had nothing to say, so he concentrated on carving.

Tao Yao and Mo Li didn't know what to say in the chat for a while, so they looked around.

The pedestrians on the road are either in a hurry or leisurely, in such a hazy light, Tao Yao feels that this is the smell of fireworks in life. And that's what she's yearning for now.

Love is really an amazing thing. In her more than 1,000 years of life, she only cultivated to become an immortal. But later, in order to complete Nuwa's task, he went to be the red face of the troubled water, and then he fell into his own life. Now she is most eager to work with the person who is sitting next to her for the rest of her life.

At this time, Tao Yao didn't know that in a certain period of time in the future, she would have to rely on this warm memory to survive the long chaotic time and space.

"Miss, Miss, slow down!" Tao Yao was interrupted by a shout. Looking up, a pair of master and servant were passing on the street.

The woman, dressed in brocade, must have been the daughter of a big family.

The maid in the back is not badly dressed, after all, it is a big family, and the maid's face is the owner's face. The maid was carrying things in large bags at this time, kicking and puffing angrily.

The young lady in front was quite impatient, holding a handkerchief and fanning the wind constantly. "I said you can't hurry up, swallow it slowly!"

"Miss, the slave has taken too many things!" the maid cried in a low voice.

"What's more, just shout to me that I'm tired of this little thing, do we eat white rice with you in our family?"

The maid didn't dare to say anything more.

For large families, these people are slaves, and even if they are killed, it is common, and the official family cannot control them. If you are lucky and are bought by a good master, you can still treat them kindly, but if you are unlucky and are bought by a powerful person, it will be a matter of life and death.

It's fate here, everyone is born different.

"Old man, who is that?" Tao Yao was curious, thinking that since the old man had been here for many years, he must have known.

As expected, the old man didn't even raise his head, so he replied, "She's a girl from the Meng family." This Meng family is a figure with a head and a face in this pickaxe capital. This girl has five brothers in a row, and this Mrs. Meng is in a hurry, she wants a girl, and she is asking Buddha and burning incense, looking forward to the stars and the moon, so she is looking forward to such a daughter. has been pampered since childhood, and has developed such a ......"

Speaking of this, he looked up and looked around, approached the two of them, and continued in a low voice, "Arrogant and unreasonable, arrogant and arrogant"

"Oh!" Tao Yao glanced at the master and servant, and did not speak again. And Mo Li didn't speak the whole time.

After waiting for a while, the old man carved the other one as well.

"Here, take a look at this. He handed it to Mo Li.

"The old man is really a good craft, even I don't like this, I feel very satisfied!" Mo Li's praise was naturally heartfelt. He had never liked these knick-knacks, but the old man made them so delicately that he couldn't fault them.

The old man rubbed his hands and smiled honestly, "It's good to be satisfied, it's good to be satisfied!"

Mo Li took out the silver money from his pocket, handed it to the old man, and then got up with Tao Yao and prepared to go shopping elsewhere.

Tao Yao is a food-loving character, and she is accompanied by people she likes, so she naturally has a great appetite and asks for a lot of snacks along the way. Mo Li's unpalatable food was also stuffed into her mouth a lot. By the time they finally returned to the inn, they were too full to eat anything.

When he was about to arrive at the inn, Tao Yao asked Mo Li, "Senior brother, where is the wooden man just now?"

"What's wrong here?" Mo Li took out the wooden figure and handed it to Tao Yao.

"Yours is for me, mine is for you. ”

"Hmm, why is that?" Mo Li thought it was strange, but he couldn't say.

"What do you mean by holding your own wooden figure, should you look in the mirror? Naturally, it is for others, and if there is something to separate in the future, you can still ...... "Look at things and think about people." When the words came to her mouth, Tao Yao swallowed again, "You can take it out and take a look, otherwise after a long time, what if I forget that I still have such a senior brother?"

"That makes sense. Mo Li looked like he was. "Then shouldn't we make one for Ximei too?"

Tao Yao slandered, if he made one for Ximei, it would really become a play for three people, and a red rope would be even more messy. "Oh, isn't Senior Sister Ximei tired today? She didn't go, we just wanted the old man to do it, but we couldn't do it. Wait until there is time in the future, let's talk about it later!" As for whether there will really be this time in the future, it's hard to say.

"Yes!"

With that, the two of them went back to the inn together, and then went back to the house.

On the second day, Mo Li went to set up a stall under the tree again. Unlike yesterday, there were people waiting there this morning.

Because Mo Li has rules and only looks at three people, except for the three people in front of him, others have to retreat to the side to watch.

The divination went smoothly until Mo Li was about to give the third person a divination. The voice of "Let's go, let's go!" came from the crowd.

Tao Yao stood next to him and looked, Yo, acquaintance. It was actually the rude young lady I saw yesterday.

After coming in, he said to Mo Li in a rage, "You are the very clever fortune teller they say?"

"Exactly!"

After hearing this, he couldn't help but sit on the wooden bench in front of him, "Come, give me a divination." ”

"There are only three divination diviners every day, and the one next to you is the third guest in today's world. As he spoke, he gestured to the young man who was waiting next to him.

The woman turned her head to look at the person next to her. Then he gave the maid next to him a look, and the maid understood, took out a bag of silver money and handed it to the young man, "Today's seat of yours, our young lady bought it." "It seems that I am used to doing it, and I think this young lady's style has always been like this.

The young man looked at Mo Li, looked at the money bag in the maid's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then took the money bag. "Okay, then let Miss!" Although he really wanted to ask Mr. to help with the divination, the thick money bag was enough for their family to live for a long time, and such a good thing was not so easy to catch up. And divination? It's a big deal to come back to line up earlier on another day.

Mo Li was noncommittal when he saw this scene, no matter what, his rules would not be changed, and he only divined for three people every day. Since the two of you are willing to do it, he naturally has no opinion, and it has nothing to do with him anyway.

"I don't know what Miss wants to count?"
