【018】 Strange woman
Xu Qian's fingers were pricked, her expression suddenly became nervous, she took a few steps back, and stepped on the person behind her, Zuo Xiaomu. In a panic, Zhong Kui did not help her, but left quickly.
The latter hurriedly reached out to hug Xu Qian, who was about to fall, and when he saw the little blood like a red plum blossom on the tip of her finger, he grabbed her hand...... Before he could make the next move, a crisp slap sound really fell on his face.
Vanilla on the side was stunned, she looked at Zuo Xiaomu who was beaten, and then looked at Xu Qian, who was beaten. I didn't understand what the relationship between the two of them was for a while, but I just saw the two of them hugging each other ambiguously, and suddenly they were tense again.
“…… You ......" Zuo Xiaomu let go of Xu Qian, who was hugging, covered her hot face, and looked at her in surprise.
Xu Qian, who was beating, turned her face away and didn't say anything, just bitter the pricked finger. Clenched the injured fingertip tightly, and the pain of ten fingers connected to her heart made her frown in pain......
Zhong Kui didn't go far, he went to the back room to find Yunnan Baiyao and wanted to dress Xu Qian's wounds.
Seeing that he didn't leave, her eyes flashed, and she seemed to be a little moved.
Vanilla observed the words and hurriedly took the white plastic medicine bottle that Zhong Kui brought. A cotton ball of white velvet was shaken out of the bottle, then there was a hemp-gray pill, and then a stone-gray powder.
Yunnan Baiyao has always had the effect of curing blood stasis, the cotton ball at the mouth of the bottle is to prevent the dampness of the powder, and the hemp gray pill is to retain the medicinal properties and will not be lost.
A little bit of medicinal powder shook on Xu Qian's fingertips, the blood beads immediately stopped without external invasion, and the careful herbs went to the wall to pick them again, and a spider membrane gently covered the dressing site.
"Vanilla, you can be a barefoot doctor, it's really good, it doesn't hurt anymore." Xu Qian's cheeks were too pale, and she said with a smile.
"This is my credit, it is the efficacy of Yunnan Baiyao that works."
"Can this be washed off later?" Xu Qian looked at the black spider membrane with concern.
"It's washed, don't worry."
Zhong Kui had already packed up the willow branch bonsai and was ready to take this to find the workshop.
Zuo Xiaomu is very strange, since there is this bonsai, why didn't he think of finding the source by going to the bottom of it. As long as you find the source, don't you know where its workshop is? Why bother to find out?
In order to facilitate the search, Zhong Kui decided to walk with Zuo Xiaomu to find them one by one. Anyway, the county seat is not wide, and it takes three hours at most to go back and forth, and the time is just close to dinner.
Looking at Zuo Xiaomu's puzzled eyes, he smiled and said, "This thing was sent by someone else, and she didn't know who sent it, and she didn't come up with it after thinking about it for a long time, so I had to check it one by one." Anyway, there are not many businesses in the county town that operate this kind of workshop, because this thing doesn't seem to be very popular in the county, one is because people don't have this spare money in their pockets to put the score, and the other is that the county is still developing, and they are busy running around for life, and no one pays attention to this thing. ”
"Oh! Such. Zuo Xiaomu nodded as if he had realized.
In front is a shaving shop, a man who specializes in shaving his head. With a shiny razor in his hand, he shaved people's hair to a dull state. The price of shaving the head is cheap, it seems to be two cents and five heads.
In Zhong Kui's memory, the eight members are popular in today's society. The shaver seems to be one of them! 'Conductors, barbers, cooks, salesmen, drivers, postmen, childcare workers, waiters.
Touching the stubble on his face, he suddenly remembered to shave his head. Except for the shaver's head shaving burden, which can move around, the others belong to the permanent office workers. The two looked at the bazaar, on the street, on the side of the road, an old man with a knife in his hand, and the furniture he brought was, a chair, and a bucket. procedures for shaving the head; One push, one scrape, one wash.
Sit down with a steady demeanor, timidly and peacefully in a very casual place. Looking at the simple tools of the head shaving master, his skillful skills, more than ten minutes passed, and Zhong Kui's hair, which was still unkempt not long ago, became refreshing.
Then it is to shave, first apply a hot towel to soften, apply soap foam, and then rub the razor on the knife cloth repeatedly, and when it feels sharp, it will start to go under the knife. The razor swirled around his facial features, as if it were free.
The shaver looks focused, the head shaver is leisurely and peaceful, and the communication between people is so simple, everything seems to have nothing to do with the environment and facilities.
Zuo Xiaomu on the side was from the big city, and he smacked his tongue at the razor that swam nimbly in the shaver's hand. A heart is up and down, for fear that the other party will accidentally scratch the blade on Zhong Kui's brain.
Leaving the shaver, they went straight to a small workshop called the Magic Hair House. It is said to be a small workshop, but in fact it is a small point of sale.
The shop is not small, but the furnishings are very simple.
The shop was deserted, perhaps due to an outdated rain at noon today. The shopkeeper was a woman who was nearly half a hundred years old but still charming, and she only glanced up at the two of them lightly, and then lowered her head again and continued to busy with her work.
Just this casual glance was enough to make Zhong Kui and Zuo Xiaomu who came in the door unforgettable, and the woman's eyes were very cruel.
Zhong Kui's concentration is strong, but he just treats it indifferently.
Zuo Xiaomu trembled slightly after glancing at each other, and there was a feeling of regret.
Next to the door is a counter with a variety of handicrafts, all made of the same raw material. It's the kind of filament that feels flexible like a human hair, and when you look at it carefully, you don't have the kind of willow branch bonsai he carries.
took out the willow branch bonsai, "Boss, do you make this kind of bonsai here?" Zhong Kui put the willow branch bonsai on the counter and asked.
At first, the woman was too lazy to take care of the two of them because she was busy with another handicraft to be baked. At this moment, seeing the other party take out the willow branch bonsai, her eyes flashed, and a strange look flashed on her face. Hurriedly put down the work in his hand and walked over.
This handicraft still has to distinguish the upper, middle and lower levels, and the willow branch bonsai is considered to be a boutique of the upper and upper levels. That's why its appearance will attract the attention of the proprietress of the boss.
"Your willow branch bonsai is the only boutique in our shop, how did you get it?"
When the woman asked, Zhong Kui and Zuo Xiaomu were stunned and didn't understand for a while. It wasn't the woman's question that stopped the two of them, but the woman's voice surprised Zhong Kui.
Looking at the woman's age, she can be his aunt, but her voice is as immature as a little girl, full of sweet and greasy charm.
