Chapter 34: Yin Earth
When I came to the farmers' market, I happened to encounter the street, and it was crowded with people, so it was easy to find a parking space, and I entered the market after parking the car.
I rarely went to the market in the city, I didn't know that there was a large shopping mall, Yu Xiaoxue took me like taking Grandma Liu into the Grand View Garden.
She seemed to enjoy pulling me by the nose like this now, because she was usually the target of my bullying.
Yu Xiaoxue has no impression of clothes and other things, and took me to the second floor of the shopping mall, and the clothes she asked about were really good and cheap, roughly about thirty or forty yuan a piece.
I was afraid that she would buy it back, but I would be laughed at by Han Shanshan and Zhao Qian, so I pulled her away.
On the first floor of the mall, I bought some cooked vegetables, and then took Yu Xiaoxue to a sports brand store and bought two sets of sportswear, one pink and one blue.
Yu Xiaoxue looked at the bill of more than five hundred, her eyes were stunned, and she couldn't finish her words, but she was very satisfied with the new clothes, because the sportswear was practical, she could run and jump, which was suitable for her.
After fulfilling her wish, she took me to the antique street of the market, where there are not many shops, but when it comes to market day, some people from the countryside will sell some unusual things.
In the past, some people took copper drums to sell, but I heard that they were later bought for more than 10,000 yuan, and they were auctioned and made hundreds of thousands.
Of course, even if this kind of thing really appears, I {}{small} said that 3w.ybdu can't afford it, I can only pay a few hundred yuan at most, and now calculate, Yu Xiaoxue still has a thousand yuan, which is richer than me.
And I have to start worrying about the tuition for her school, after all, her father is gone, and I am half his brother, in addition to solving the problem of livelihood, I also have to be responsible for her education.
"You're a junior in high school, right?" I asked Yu Xiaoxue.
"Brother Tian, I've finished my second year of high school, or I won't study, we don't have any money, Xiaoyitun can't go back, I'll work in the county, serve dishes to people, and wash dishes." "Yu Xiaoxue was a little embarrassed, she had asked me about my part-time job earlier, but I didn't agree.
"No, the walls of your house are full of awards, your grades are good, it's a waste not to read. "I immediately rejected her idea, her grades must be very good, but the family is too poor to support her, since she is now with me, I have to provide for her to go to school no matter how hard I am.
"My grades are not good, in fact, I am still in the fortieth place, and the awards are all made by the teacher for the sake of good looks at home, or I won't read it. Yu Xiaoxue shook her head.
A family that is so poor that in addition to sweet potatoes, it is impossible to expect a sensible child to finish studying, Yu Xiaoxue has such a mentality, but it is normal, I said: "What's the difference between being in the forties and being the first, read it, my brother is rich, I have gone out in the past few years and earned tens of thousands, which is enough for you to go to college." ”
I pretended to laugh and said, Yu Xiaoxue stared at me after listening to it, and was afraid that I would lie to her: "Brother Tian, you lied to me...... You don't have any money at all. ”
"I have it, do you want to call your aunt?" I said, taking out my phone and giving it to her, I found my mother's phone and was about to dial it, I knew she wouldn't dare to listen if I did.
"Then you really have? Don't lie to Xue?" Yu Xiaoxue looked at me aggrievedly.
"Don't lie, what are you lying to, if it's not enough for your aunt to cushion, go back and you will finish college and then slowly pay it back, at that time you had to have thousands a month, and now washing dishes and serving dishes in the county is in your early eighties, when do you have to do it?" I persuaded her.
"Brother Tian...... Actually, I lied to you, those awards are true, I took the second grade last semester, I sued you, I was able to get the first, but that day Xiaobei said that as long as I don't answer the last question, let her take the first and give me fifty, I thought about giving my dad two catties ......of rice wine and a plate of roast duck, and then I didn't write that question."
Yu Xiaoxue bitterly took out a fifty yuan from the corner of her clothes and gave it to me: "As a result, Xiaobei gave me money, and I didn't dare to use it after thinking about ......it for a long time."
"Then do you dare next time?" I immediately looked at her with a tiger face and confiscated the fifty yuan, but I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart: Alas, Uncle Yugen, I didn't bring anything with me on this trip back to Xiaoyitun, so I owed you two catties of rice wine and a plate of roast duck for Xuexian, and I have the strength to go back in the future, so I will definitely bring it to you.
"Don't dare. Yu Xiaoxue's eyes are red, although she sometimes does things that lack heart, such as digging sweet potatoes from other people, but she was also ignorant and hungry when she was a child.
"That's good, listen to your brother Tian, after reading the plan, we can go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and we don't lack that money." I snorted.
"Okay! Brother Tian is the best for me!" Yu Xiaoxue was happy, and when she saw that the little couple next to her was almost sticking together, she also ran over and held my hand.
I shook it a few times and didn't shake it off, so I ignored her, anyway, there was basically no one in the county who knew me and her, and I didn't care about this image.
But when I thought so, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the farthest point of my sight!
"One egg!" I almost shouted! I broke free of Yu Xiaoxue's hand and chased after him as if flying!
Yu Xiaoxue was stunned, and when she saw me chasing, she also chased after her.
As a result, the crowd was too dense, and I was afraid that something would happen to Yu Xiaoxue, so I stopped, and watched Zhang Yidan's figure disappear from the edge of the market from a distance.
"Brother Dan, how could it be?" Yu Xiaoxue asked me in surprise, she didn't seem to see it.
"Maybe I'm wrong, it's impossible, it's impossible. I explained to myself, and then looked at Yu Xiaoxue and smiled bitterly, Zhang Yidan was obviously dead, and he killed his ghost baby, and now he appeared in broad daylight, how is this possible?
The county has a population of 800,000, and it is normal to look similar, I sighed, maybe the memories evoked for Yu Xiaoxue reminded me of my childhood friends here.
"Brother, are you going to the antique street, right there, huh, do you see it?" Yu Xiaoxue said as she pointed to the intersection where the person who looked like Zhang Yidan came out just now.
"Well, see, let's go over. "As I spoke, my already calm heart turned up again, 'Zhang Yidan' went to the antique street?
I shook my head, and Yu Xiaoxue and I turned into the antique street, that small street is actually an alley, and there are even chickens, ducks and geese that sell them.
I found a shop with a kind owner, and I asked him if he had old yellow paper, good cinnabar and pens.
This kind of old county town will never lack such things, and the boss quickly came up with a few.
It's not because Zhao Qian didn't buy these things, but because I can't use things that others have used, which will affect the accuracy of spellcasting.
I picked the oldest and the most expensive aged cinnabar, this cinnabar a gram costs dozens of dollars, I bought a little more than 400, the old yellow paper because of the storage years, a dozen is not cheap, with a special brush, 600 yuan is gone.
After thinking about it, this is true or false, it's not okay to fiddle with these things without money, playing this is playing with life, can things that stick to a small life not be expensive?
Therefore, the first thing is to have money, the second is to see if your Dao is strong, and then you need to consider Taoist friends, partners, and cultivation dojos, several things add up to the test of time, and finally you can achieve a generation of Dao masters.
"Boss, did you just have a young man in his twenties wearing factory clothes passing by here, or buying something here?" On a whim, I asked the boss about the clothes I saw just now.
"Oh, you said he, hey, I'm weird, I said why have you young people been playing with these things lately? That man just came to me, and asked me to buy cinnabar and pens like you, but the pen was bought, and I took out the cinnabar, and he said that it was not suitable, and ran to the opposite stall to buy it, hehe, the things on the opposite side are all made by the boss himself, can you use it?" The boss didn't hide it, and pointed to the stall opposite, which meant that it was not good.
I immediately ran to find the old woman at the stall and asked her if she had made a deal with her brother and young man, but the old woman didn't say a word, looked at the direction where Zhang Yidan disappeared before, pointed to cinnabar, and stretched out a finger.
I thought about it, and if I didn't buy her things, I guess I wouldn't be able to get something out of her mouth, so I took out fifty yuan: "Come on five grams." ”
The old woman smiled, stretched out a finger, but the smile was very penetrating, she showed a tooth plate that was very lacking, but this is normal, but the tongue is mostly broken!
The tongue must have been cut out!
"Young man, it's one hundred and one grams!" The boss on the other side was frightened when he saw me, and kindly reminded me.
I don't think I can ask anything, this cinnabar has turned brownish purple, I don't know how to use it at all, so I pulled Yu Xiaoxue away.
I took the two or three hundred left, and felt that there was still a soul urn missing, so I prepared to go to some antique shops.
The soul urn is the urn, which is specially loaded with the ashes and bones of the dead, but now the urn is beautifully carved but it is all waste, even if it is made of gold and white jade, it is useless to me, I have to find some pottery urns to replace, but unfortunately I found a lot of antique shops, the boss told me that they are all handicrafts, what Han Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, cheap fakes have to be hundreds.
I felt a chill in my heart, and felt that Xijun's home was probably gone, so I carefully recalled the process of making my grandmother's soul urn, and every time my grandmother made a soul urn, she would go out once, and when she came back, she found all kinds of materials.
These materials are not very special, just ordinary earth, but they never seem to be intended for me to play with, saying that they are not good for me.
And she fires it by herself, but now I don't have enough firing conditions.
Of course, grandma is a master, she can find clay to make a soul urn by herself, and then burn it into a soul urn after carving the seal.
"It's the earth!" just as I was hesitating, the word popped into my head, and I completely gave up staying in the antique street, because I decided to make my own pottery.
