Chapter 5 "Fetal God" Tang Mu

This descendant Tang Mu. It's no one else, it's the second of "Six Miles and Three Qiao", and it is naturally not an ordinary person to have this title.

He is about the same age as Xiong Nianyun, the daughter of the blind bear, so he can be regarded as a "young successful person", and the blind bear is completely called the old man's ambition.

The blind bear likes to twist Tang Mu's ears, and naturally, Tang Mu also suffered a lot of bitter medicine.

Every time I enjoy the punishment of the blind bear's ears, I have no choice but to vaguely identify the voyeuristic female sex of the crime of weathering in the "Qing Dynasty Law". This Tang Mu has a unique skill, familiar with the law, in his words, "Only by knowing the law can you break the law!" ”。 The blind bear really can't do anything about him, and what he can't figure out is: how can such a womanizer be counted as a mountain picker by the people of Liulidi Ancient Town? One possibility is that they are all fools.

Tang Mu, an old Beijinger, had a famine at home, and when he was exiled to Liulidi, he was only twelve years old.

Where's the odd? Maybe this is also related to the blind bear, in today's words, the blind bear can be regarded as half of the leader in Tang Mu's profession.

The blind bear is engaged in fetal pills, general production and dispersion, and galactagogues, so Tang Mu did the opposite.

Tang Mu is quite handsome, a little sour and talented, he has no medical skills, he doesn't know much medicinal materials, he is weak, and he is always worried about being blown away by the wind, so how can he go up the mountain to chop wood, so a person who is not even a "Xiaqiao" is a person, how can he be counted in the three Qiao? Where's the blame? Blame it on his mouth. Tang Mu imitated the "Eight Monsters of Tianqiao" in Beijing since he was a child, and he was not afraid of being poor, but he was not an ordinary person, if he was Tang Mu's master, then the "Zixia Zhenjun" who was not blind to the bear was a strange person.

This Tang Mu can speak well, but this is also a problem, he never thinks about the consequences when he speaks, and always nags: "'How can there be articles that are poured into society, and never lucky.'" Although I hadn't seen this poem at that time, Song Renzong understood this truth. At that time, there was a literati in Sichuan, who dedicated poems to the official mansion: "Burn the broken sword gate on the plank road, and Xichuan is not a good place." Some people say that he wrote this poem to stir up turmoil, in a vain attempt to encourage Sichuan to secede and become independent. The prefect of Chengdu reported to the imperial court, and Song Renzong said, "Lao Xiucai wants to be an official, and it is not enough to govern." Give him a petty officer. "Such a sour Xiucai always makes some such remarks, and he is hunted down by the yamen in three days! It's black and white.

Poor is not afraid of his original name Zhu Shaowen, he mainly talks about stand-up comedy, and can also sing, and is said to be the originator of northern cross talk. Zhu Shao is very knowledgeable in literature, and because he saw the corruption of officials, he decided not to apply for the imperial examination anymore, and lived by teaching, writing, and singing. He is good at writing martial arts, and has created plays such as "Nengren Temple" and "Eight Great Na".

In the early years of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, due to the successive years of "national mourning", the imperial court banned that no colorful costumes were allowed to appear on stage in the opera garden, and musical instruments were not allowed to be sounded, resulting in many opera artists being forced to change their careers. Zhu Shaowen also lost his job and became a street performer, and changed his career to major temple fairs and flyovers in Beijing, explaining the meaning of words and telling jokes to the audience. The props he carried with him were very simple, just a broom, two bamboo boards, and a bag of fine flour noodles of white sand stone. The bamboo board is engraved with two lines of words, "Full of articles are not afraid of poverty, and the five cars of history books are poor", which is the origin of his stage name.

Later, the poor were not afraid to accept the apprentices "Poor and Ben", "Poor and Rooted", "Xu Youlu", "Fan Youyuan", etc., and often took one or two apprentices to perform a joke together, so that they gradually created a counterpoint and a three-person cross talk. In the book "Dumen Huishu" published in 1872, there is a poem about the bamboo branch that is not afraid of poverty: "Bai Sha is a character for a career, and he wants to ask for money and wealth; The disciples are even more poor and have a foundation, and the reputation of the master and apprentice is also boastful. ”

Practice is the art, and enlightenment is the way. Tang Mu studied in Tianqiao for three years and was not afraid of poverty, with his own understanding, he could say that the dead were alive, and the false ones were true.

This kind of person lives in a place with a large flow of people in Liulidi, and enters the medicine industry, one does not know how to treat, and the other does not know wood, what insight can he have?

To live, people must first eat well, and at the beginning of Tang Mu's exile, the first thing he relied on was selling medicine. His usual trick is usually to come to a paragraph of "Three Kingdoms" or "Liao Zhai", "The Story of the West Chamber", where there are many people, he opens his mouth loudly: "Three surnames of domestic slaves!" Hugh is crazy! Your three generals! ...... here"

Once the audience gathers and stops, they take out the face mask from the medicine box, telling the story on the one hand, and changing it into Kong Ming, Liu Guanzhang or the white-faced Cao thief accordingly according to the needs of the plot, attracting people to stop and watch. Sichuan opera is really admirable, and this thing has become a state secret.

From time to time, Tang Mu also stood on a high place and sprinkled some medicinal sugar, provoking those greedy old women to snatch the medicinal candy, chattering non-stop, this mode is called "circle lianzi" in the rivers and lakes, to put it bluntly, it is a crowd gathering mode. is very similar to the current star concert, Tang Mu, you have the potential to debut, but unfortunately you were born at the wrong time.

Tang Mu's "Three Kingdoms" is said to be one link after another, and the stitches are very tight, and half a word can't be inserted.

"Let's say that Cao Cao opened the box, Yun Changgong didn't come harmed, he slipped away, and his eyes were open......"

When it came to the key point of the excitement, he suddenly stopped talking and began to sell medicine: "Everyone who comes from the south and goes to the north, old and young masters, girls and daughters-in-law, young ladies and maids, and all the officials look from here and from here." Little brother, I borrow precious land to offer ugly and sell medicine, as the saying goes, rely on your parents at home, rely on friends when you go out, help a money field if you have money, and support a personal field if you don't have money. When I came to Guibao Land today, I didn't plan to leave, so I brought twenty pairs of ancestral body-strengthening pills, gold sore medicines, and painkillers, just to make a lot of money......"

In addition to these, Tang Mu also sells the so-called abortion elixir "Spring Fang Fetal Injection", "Changyang Seeds", and "Cough Suppressant on the Spot", which looks like a charlatan from the current perspective, but this is also the way of survival for others.

Everyone was anxious to listen to "Three Kingdoms", and they bought medicine one after another, and then listened to his nonsense after the medicine was sold. In addition, Tang Mu also used Allegro and "Dark Spring" performances to attract customers, relying on his three-inch tongue, he quickly survived in Liuli and became a popular star.

Xiong Nianyun, the only daughter of the blind man of the head of Sanqiao, is a loyal fan of Tang Mu, and when the pharmacy is fine, she carries her father behind her back, secretly goes to the street to watch Tang Mu talk and sell medicine, and gives her "future husband" a small amount of money.

The girl in the flower season couldn't stand the temptation, she was curious, Tang Mu ran the train with her mouth full, talking nonsense, Xiong Nianyun's face was full of admiration, and what was even more fashionable was that weathering didn't work at all for him, he had already learned to kiss, that guy, the scene was about to be uncontrollable. After her father, the blind bear, found out that her whereabouts were secret, he was so angry that he couldn't say anything about Tang Mu's voyeurism, so he had to let her go for the time being.

The bear blind man is very traditional, he not only looks down on Tang Mu at all, but he doesn't look down on him at all, now he says that the drama is weak, but whether Tang Mu is affectionate, then who knows, anyway, no one has ever been with him, wind, horse, swallow, finch, porcelain, gold, comment, skin, color, hanging, is the top ten deception techniques in the rivers and lakes.

Among them, "commentary" is to talk about storytelling in the streets and alleys, storytellers in order to win more people to listen, a very short story, they add oil and vinegar, the history of the wild history, make up nonsense, some do not have, the purpose is to deceive the people to listen to the taste, so that the source of wealth will not be broken, and they are never responsible for what they have said.

Then there is the "skin" that sells wild medicine, the gourd contains "through the meridian through the bone pill", "dispel the wind and chase away the dampness", "bruise ointment", "the fairy poured the pot" and other kinds of elixirs, claimed to be able to cure all diseases, for the poor and despicable people, this is a life-saving straw, for the liar, this is the magic weapon of deception.

The reason why Tang Mu eats all the ages, and he has not been banned by Liulidi, is that his essence is to combine "comment" and "skin", mess around, blow the pill into an elixir, dog shit into sauce baba, horse dung into a wishful pill, tears into fairy water, and women's beauty products. This kind of person has bad conduct and dirty thoughts, and in the eyes of the blind bear, it is like a ball of stinky cow, which stinks terribly, but you can't vent yourself by stepping on it, lest you stain the soles of your feet.

Therefore, even if Xiong Nianyun secretly promised to get the old man's consent, it would be as difficult as ascending to the sky.

Relying on "evaluation" and "skin", Tang Mu barely managed to eat, if you want to make a fortune and stand proudly in the pharmaceutical market, it is still very early. Besides, he himself is not very fascinated by gold and jade wealth, and often boasts: wealth is passing by the clouds, and chic and free is the true life of life. Seeing that the sky was clear, he didn't go to the street to sell medicine, and ran straight to the Chunjiang River at the foot of the surrounding mountain.

The Chunjiang River comes from Wushan, bypasses Changpuli, and flows through the back of Centipede Mountain. This centipede mountain, there is a city god temple on the mountain, it is Tang Mu's free and drunk place, to put it bluntly, Tang Mu fell to six miles, no relatives and no reason, can only live in the city god temple, and beggars are no different.

The desolate City God Temple is in Tang Mu's eyes, but it is a bright treasure hall! The tributes of the city god often go into his mouth, and because of his mouth full of cannons, some people regard him as the messenger of the city god.

Of course, he stole the tribute of the City God, and he would not admit such a person.

The temple sits in the north and faces south, and there are three gates. The middle one is higher than the east and west rooms, standing in the middle, you can overlook the turn of the Spring River. There are two rooms in the east and west of the temple, each with a tall head and a horse, and a person who blows a trumpet stands next to it, as well as a statue of a god with clairvoyance and ears to the wind. Within the three gates, there are three buildings, the upstairs can be used as a stage, and the middle of the downstairs is the passage into the backyard, and the east and west rooms are molded with the head of a cow, a horse face, a chicken foot god, a road-beating ghost, and a white-clothed god.

Legend has it that the two masters of the white gods in this city god temple are very spiritual, and they often come out of the temple at night to steal mountain ginseng, winter and sea urchin to eat. Six miles of medicine sellers, lost the best medicinal materials, more mistaken for the second master of the white god stolen food, dare to be angry and dare not speak, in the long run, the incense of the centipede mountain city god temple is declining, the monks and nuns are far away, the temple is dilapidated, the cobwebs are hung around, this is for Tang Mu, who has no long things, it is just like the ingenious arrangement of fate, the residence is solved, but the bad place is that there is no tribute to eat, so I have to go down the mountain to buy medicine.
