The door was opened little by little, Tang Mu's feet became more and more incessant, eight seconds of real man, at this moment he lost the backbone just now, trembling, the cat face made him frightened, as the saying goes: pigs come to be poor, cats come to rich, mice come to wear linen. But what does the cat mean when it flashes and disappears, I'm afraid only the cat knows.

"Who!?" Tang Mu's voice trembled, cold sweat broke out, and he slowly moved towards the door from the iron lamp, his steps were heavy, like a thousand catties of boulders pressed behind him.

"Open the door, it's me!"

Tang Mu shouted: "Who are you!?" I don't sleep in the middle of the night, and I came here to scare your father! ”

"-Li Xiaochun!"

Li Xiaochun?! Tang Mu quickened his pace, walked over tremblingly, and opened a crack in the door. The rain curtain and moonlight, black and white, squinting to see, the whole body of the comer, wrapped in black cloth, the head is hidden in the black cloth, only two eyes are exposed, one red and one white.

"Oh, it's not a cat!"

This person is Li Xiaochun! The last of the "Six Miles and Three Qiao".

Tang Mu was a little afraid of him, because Li Xiaochun had no shadow.

According to legend, during the Jiaqing period, there was a young man whose mother was sick, and he begged God to save his mother. God has appeared, but the condition is to take away his shadow and make him a shadowless man, so that he will die. Years later, the man became seriously ill and was not breathing in bed, and when he was buried, he was alive again.

On a thick summer day, working in the fields, a man saw that he had no shadow and asked: "The vegetables have no heart to live, and the people have no shadow to live?" With that, the shadowless man threw down his hoe and fell to the ground, leaving him with no shell, and only a pile of worn-out clothes remained on the ground.

Li Xiaochun, in his early thirties, is a single. He sat in front of a green lamp every night, very depressed, and again, he couldn't help but look at the shadow and sigh: "You have been with me for so long, can't you bring me some happiness!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, his shadow suddenly slipped down from the wall, stood in front of him and said, "Willing to serve." Then a shadow puppet show began in the house, and the shadows changed their forms wantonly, so that Li Xiaochun was almost scared into a muggle.

Li Xiaochun was taken aback and was speechless for a while.

The shadow smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm your shadow." You make me happy, and you are afraid of me, what do you want me to do? ”

Li Xiaochun calmed down and asked, "How can you bring me happiness?" ”

Shadow smiled, "What kind of happiness do you want?" ”

Li Xiaochun said: "My family died early, I live alone in Liulidi, and I don't even have a partner, can you help me find a good friend for a young man, and the night is opposite?" ”

The shadow replied, "What's so hard about that?" In a blink of an eye, he became a handsome young man, handsome and graceful, and a good friend.

Li Xiaochun begged the shadow to become an official and nobleman again, so the beautiful young man turned into a well-dressed official, sitting on the bed, his voice and appearance were exactly the same.

Li Xiaochun hurriedly knelt down and bowed to him, joking: "Can you become a beauty?" ”

The official nodded and got out of bed, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into a convex and backward, beautiful and delicious girl, Li Xiaochun slept with a beautiful woman, just like marrying a wife and concubine, and her life was called an ecstasy.

Since then, every time it gets dark, Li Xiaochun's shadow is full of changes, and he has never been disappointed. After a long time, this wonderful shadow gradually appeared during the day, often leaving Li Xiaochun to move alone.

Li Xiaochun was drunk all day long, and there was no longer any of his previous appearance, and the people in the ancient town felt weird, and after asking Li Xiaochun, they knew the reason.

When others looked closely at his shadow, it did not match his body and demeanor: when the man was standing, the shadow was sitting; The person is a man, but the shadow is often dressed as a woman, and the villagers think that he is a monster and dare not approach. Since then, Li Xiaochun has only had the shadow as a friend, who makes a living by working hard all day long, and is intoxicated with the shadow at night.

Last winter, however, there was a lot of snowfall.

The shadow suddenly said goodbye to Li Xiaochun. Li Xiaochun asked where the shadow was going, and the shadow said: "I want to go to the Western Regions thousands of miles away, where the hunters are setting up a dark market in the mountains, there are many shadows, selling funnel cakes, and I want to buy a piece to taste and satisfy my hunger." ”

Li Xiaochun cried and sent the shadow out to say goodbye, a gust of wind came, only to see the shadow rising from the wind, and in an instant, it was gone.

Li Xiaochun has not even had a shadow since then, and is called "shadowless man" by people. He waited all day for the shadow to eat the funnel paste and come back quickly. But day after day, no shadow returned.

After the shadow left, Li Xiaochun was extremely sad, he often locked himself in the house, unwilling to talk to anyone, although Sanqiao was famous, but they were all strange people, and the way of doing things was naturally very strange, how could ordinary people easily get involved with them.

In order to survive, there must be a way to get money, fortunately, Li Xiaochun is physically strong, his arms are bullstalking, and his waist is like an iron tower, even if he brings a bullfight, he can easily stumble, especially after the shadow is gone, he is even more powerful, and he does physical work, which is even more clear-eyed. Second, he knows some herbal recipes, will pick some herbs, and will sell them in the market after concocting and drying, of course, Tang Mu will say comments to attract guests, and Li Xiaochun naturally has his own methods.

People are afraid of being lazy, there are always more ways than difficulties, as long as you are willing to work hard, there is always a way out.

Li Xiaochun relied on his strength and took up the work of street art and medicine. During the heavy snow season, he still went into battle shirtless, practicing the style, swallowing iron balls, dancing knives and guns. When selling gold sore medicine, stab your lower leg with a knife, wait for the bleeding to see red, and then apply the homemade medicine, use a fan, blow with a big mouth, and the blood flow stops immediately, so as to confirm that the effect of the medicine is good and it is worth buying. However, although his selling price was thirty percent lower than Tang Mu's, there were very few people who bought it.

Li Xiaochun is stupid and powerful, no one buys medicine, he sells art.

Before the performance, he first touched the two stones a few times, so that people could hear the "bang" sound, and then handed it to the audience to touch, and the audience was afraid of ghosts and did not dare to touch this stone.

The crowd surrounded the three layers inside and three layers outside, the wind and rain were impenetrable, all of them were watching and eating melons, except for the children who came to see the play, everyone else was there to see the shadow of the shadowless man, one by one widened their eyes to find Li Xiaochun's shadow, in fact, the shadow had already run to Vulture Mountain, how could it be found? As soon as the shadow leaves, whether to go to Vulture Mountain or not, the ghost knows!

A Taoist priest said that the reason why Li Xiaochun is infinitely powerful is precisely because he lost his shadow, which is called: Yang hyper. If you can't find the shadow for a long time, you will have a short life. This also happens to be the legend of the Jiaqing period.

Li Xiaochun didn't think so, he was full of luck, put the stone on the edge of the stool, and then found the right place, only to hear: "Ah! - "Ah! With two sounds, the palm of the hand slashed down, and the stone smashed in response.

Li Xiaochun can also use his fingers to smash stones, he brought a big stone, and asked the audience to point with their fingers and crush where to crush with their fingers. Then there is the "chest gravel". He took off his shirt, went shirtless, held a stone in his hand, and smashed his chest, and the stone shattered and his chest was unharmed. Li Xiaochun has a lot of strength, and when he is excited, he can tie the big grinding disc of more than 300 catties to his neck with a rope, straighten his body, and walk around the field. When he performed, he peddled his "booster pills" to the audience. It's a pity that the market is not optimistic, people only look at the excitement, look for shadows, and don't pay attention to anything else, let alone something that has to pay money?

"These are not normal people, and there is nothing strange about the performance, it's boring and boring!" Anyway, no matter how hard he performs, the people who eat melons always have their own opinions, and their income is meager.

Without further ado, let's talk about it.

Li Xiaochun came to the City God Temple in the middle of the night, could it be that he wanted to dialectically with Tang Mu about the miraculous effect of the "Powerful Pill"?

He staggered into the hall, mysteriously put his middle finger on his mouth, and motioned Tang Mu to whisper.

Tang Mu was bare-chested, he had just been scared out of Yoneda Gong, changed his pants, and scolded: "Li Xiaochun, you are so damn scared to death, I thought it was my aunt who came!" Compensate Lao Tzu, a tael of silver! ”

Tang Mu secretly looked at the ground, the flame of the iron tree oil lamp jumped violently, his figure was shaking with the rhythm of the flames, but Li Xiaochun was clean and clean, there was nothing, this person really ran away, which made people feel creepy and cold on his back.

"Aren't you a plain monk looking for a flower monk to ask for meat, how can I have so much silver on me, and besides, I'm not a ghost, what are you afraid of? I'm scared of! The city god is here, and you can't meet a ghost! Li Xiaochun covered his mouth and nose and said.

Tang Mu smiled and beckoned him to sit down.

Li Xiaochun sat on the futon with his buttocks, loosened the black cloth on his head, and revealed his thick black beard.

Tang Mu relaxed a lot, and then noticed that Li Xiaochun's abdomen was bulging, like a young woman who was pregnant in September, and there were two egg-sized blood stains on both knees.

Tang Mu said: "Who are you?" What's going on? ”

Li Xiaochun was stunned for a while: "I kowtowed from the feng shui bridge!" ”

Tang Mu sighed: "In the middle of the night, Grandpa Chenghuang dreamed of Zhou Gong, why did you come to Chenghuang Temple as a pregnant girl, those wishes on the Feng Shui Bridge were all made up by the old people, can you believe it?" After what happened just now, I don't believe my old godfather anymore, it's useless! ”

Li Xiaochun begged: "Tang Mu, you can save me this time." ”

"What's wrong?!" Tang Mu's face sank, and he said, "Why are your eyes red and white?" ”

"What else! Let Xiong Nianyun hammer, go to the door to see a doctor, but be beaten violently, is there any heavenly reason? I'm not a ghost, why should I hit me! You have to save me this time! Li Xiaochun's voice turned sharply, with a bit of pleading.

Tang Mu's mood improved, and he said a little proudly: "Hehe, you have found the right person, ask what is the situation in the world, one thing will drop one thing, Xiong Xiaoyun will definitely be my future wife, as long as you get rid of the old man Xiong, it is easy to say anything." Xiao Chun! With such a big belly, it can't be that she is pregnant with a devil freak, right? ”

Li Xiaochun stroked his bulging belly, exposed his two front teeth, and stammered: "You-guess-guess right, but it's not a devil freak!" It's difficult—it's difficult—"
