Chapter 244: The Shaving Shop
Huzi thought that he had figured out the ins and outs of the matter, but he was not in a hurry. The matter is there, and this person can't be found out for a while, so he has to put it aside first. took Zhao Shankun and sneaked back to the inn secretly, slept peacefully, and came at noon on the second day.
Huzi rarely sleeps lazy, not only to take care of Zhao Yueyue, but also to practice art and learn to draw talismans and copy scriptures, so naturally he can't afford to be lazy.
Some people say that those who learn art, "If you don't practice kung fu for one day, you know it, if you don't practice it for two days, the master knows, and if you don't practice it for three days, the audience knows", in fact, learning martial arts and cultivating the Tao is the same thing. "Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat", but if you put it down, your hands will be born, your body will not obey the call, and your mood will not be so mellow - but it is not bad to be lazy occasionally. Huzi stretched his waist, moved so that his muscles and bones and joints "rattled", and sighed with satisfaction.
Although he is already a person who has married a wife and started a family, in the final analysis, Huzi is just a teenager with an undecided heart. There is always something pressing in my heart, so I will force myself to be like this. Just like Mr. Peng once told him, what he liked when he was a child, and what he still likes when he grows up, can show that this person has always been carefree.
For example, some people like to fight crickets, children's things, and parents won't say anything when they catch them to play. But as they get older, if the children of ordinary people are still addicted to this, they will inevitably be said to be playthings and lose their minds and not want to make progress. On the other hand, those children of the Eight Banners are still the same as when they were children, walking birds and fighting crickets, without delay. At the end of the day, it's because they don't have to pay taxes or worry about food and clothing. I don't have to worry about it, I don't have anything to press, I can do whatever I want, and I can do whatever I like.
Huzi sometimes envies such a person, but he can't be such a person. Carefully calculated, there is no such person from a poor background.
Zhao Shankun should have been counted as one, but the year was not good, the family suffered a military turmoil, and there was only such a child left in the family. Thinking about it, if it weren't for Li Lintang's kindness for a while, and he also coveted Mr. Peng's mantle heir, and didn't accept Zhao Shankun to his door, I'm afraid I can't say what the future of this child will be.
"Dog, get up!" Huzi stretched out his hand and pushed, "The sun is sunburning!" ”
Zhao Shankun agreed, rubbed his eyes and sat up, and it took a long time to turn around: "I don't call a dog!" My name is Zhao Shankun. ”
Huzi grinned: "It's okay, I'm not stupid." ”
The originally pampered young master has changed after Li Lintang's polishing over the past few days. The limbs gradually lengthened, no longer the round appearance, and began to have some edges and corners. Tanned a little, no longer as white and tender as before, as if you can wring out water with a pinch. Only where the clothes are often covered can you see the original color of the skin. The joints of one of the hands are slightly wider and rougher, and even at the root of the tiger's mouth there is already a thin layer of cocoons. This was obtained after grinding the originally delicate palms into layers of blood blisters.
When Zhao Shankun changed his clothes and stood there, he looked energetic and looked no longer the greedy and cowardly rich man. He has already achieved the demeanor of a practitioner. Although it is not stable enough, after all, it is a child who is four years younger than Huzi, and that agility and sharpness are already rare.
Huzi suddenly felt so sorry for him. What drives Huzi to work hard is the obsession in his own heart, he wants to become stronger, not for anything, this is already a thing. It was later, when Zhao Yueyue suffered a disaster because of him, that he posted other thoughts in his heart. But Zhao Shankun, the kid, fought from the beginning for revenge. Killing Andre to avenge his whole family and aspiring to join the army was also to kill foreigners. Now another one has been added, killing the officer surnamed Na to avenge Song Xiongfang.
It's not that there is nothing but revenge. In the final analysis, the reason why Zhao Shankun worked so hard to learn art was for the "great cause of revenge".
"What to eat, senior brother, I'm invited, you can open your mouth casually." After settling the house money, the two missed two meals, it was the hunger in the belly, Huzi patted Zhao Shankun on the back of the head and said casually.
Zhao Shankun was not polite to Huzi, he knew that Huzi had left a lot of money to show people everywhere, so he stretched out his hand and pointed: "Can we run to Songhelou today?" Senior brother, you are bright, not short of this little money. ”
Huzi squinted his eyes and smiled slightly: "Okay, then let's eat wontons." ”
"Hey! I'm talking about the Pine Crane Tower! Zhao Shankun shouted. As if he hadn't heard, Huzi walked slowly and leisurely with his hands behind his back.
It's not a high-ranking family, and the ordinary people can not afford to eat a few meals in Songhe Tower. The brothers still drank wontons in the end. However, Zhao Shankun seemed to be ruthless, and maybe he was very unhappy about his senior brother's deception and joke, and he ate three bowls alone. There are not many wontons in each bowl, but there is a lot of soup. After drinking three bowls, Zhao Shankun almost couldn't walk.
Huzi laughed when he saw Zhao Shankun's embarrassed appearance, which made Zhao Shankun glare. In the end, it was Huzi who proposed to find a head-shaving shop to sit for a while, which made Zhao Shankun stop.
The two of them had their heads shaved by Mr. Peng, and Mr. Peng's head was shaved by Huzi. Both of them are not professional head shavers, so naturally they have no techniques to talk about, and they often grin in pain when they are shaved. It's been a long time since the last time he shaved his head, Huzi thought about it, it's better not to wait until he goes back to suffer this crime, it's better to find a shop in the city, it's good.
There is also a sense of shaving the head, and ordinary people are looking for those shavers who walk the streets and alleys to shave their heads. The shaving picks are hot at one end, hot hot towels on the hot side, and knives, rags and pads on the cold side. If you are a little more particular, you will go to the shaving shop. The master will not only shave his head and face, but also press a few hands, which is very enjoyable for the guests.
When I came to the shop, I found that there were not many people. Also, everyone has their own livelihood. It is often in the evening that the shaved shop is lively.
The guy beckoned the two to sit down, and the master in the store suddenly came to Huzi's side and said with a smile: "This young master, how about I discuss with you?" ”
Huzi turned his head and spoke very politely: "It's not negotiable, if you need help, just ask, as long as you can." ”
The master who shaved his head rubbed his hands nervously: "That's the case, I brought a little apprentice and has been practicing with melon skins." I taught the craft by hand, and there must be nothing wrong with it, and I let him try it with my brain. In the past two days, I have been thinking about which guest to ask for magnanimity, and let my little apprentice make a comparison. Didn't I see you? You let my little apprentice give it a try, and the money of the two little brothers will be freed. ”
"Yes," Huzi didn't care much about this kind of thing at that time, "but you are all craftsmen who eat hard food, and you should be as much as you want." Let your apprentice try it on my head, my little brother will have to trouble you to do it. ”
"Gotcha! Thank you. The head shaving master said, "You can rest assured, I promise not to charge you." Come on, come on, Xiaohuzi called someone, thank you for this master. ”
There are many people called "tigers" and "bears" in the Kanto region, which is nothing more than a vision of hoping that their children will thrive. When he met someone with the same name as himself, Huzi also smiled and didn't care too much.
This kid looks a few years younger than Huzi, probably the same age as Zhao Shankun. Timid Sheng first thanked him, and then took a hot towel and covered Huzi's face, which was ready to go under the knife.
It can be seen that this child is indeed the first time to use a knife on a living person, and he is very nervous. His hands were shaking slightly.
Huzi was not only worried about his scalp, but also comforted the child: "This is my head, not an ice cube, what are you trembling?" Aren't you called Huzi? Are you worried that I'm going to eat you? ”
Huzi's fight made the kid laugh, but it made him relax and his hand was much steady. It can be seen that it has been practiced through hard work, although the technique is a little jerky, but it doesn't hurt. Compared with Mr. Peng, Huzi does not have high requirements for others.
It was halfway through the shaving of my head when suddenly there was a loud noise outside. That young man was probably affected, he was slightly distracted, his wrist shook, and he cut a bloody cut on Huzi's forehead!
"Oops!" Huzi screamed like this, startling the head shaving master who was shaving Zhao Shankun's head next to him. stepped forward and kicked the apprentice to the ground, scolding, "What are you eating! Can you still learn? How can I teach you the craft? Mouthful, more than anything else, as soon as you start your hands, you can finish the calf, you can learn to learn but you can't learn to roll! ”
Huzi took a towel boiled in hot water, carefully holding the blood from the wound and not letting it run down. He stretched out his hand to stop the apprentice's head shaving master: "It's okay, it's the first time, it's inevitable." Besides, I moved just now, not him, I can't complain about this kid, just say a few words. ”
"This is this young master speaking for you, go back to the house and kneel!" The head shaving master pulled the child up by the collar, twisted around and kicked his buttocks, only then turned back and smiled carefully, "I'm sorry, this young master." Look at you...... I'm so sorry. Don't worry, I'll definitely clean him up when I turn around. The money of the two of you must be waived today, and in the future, you two will come to me to shave your head, and I will not take a penny, which can be regarded as making amends to you, what do you think? ”
The profession of serving people inevitably involves a lot of hardship. Huzi shows people things, and they are all expensive as "Mr.", and sometimes people still pick their strengths and weaknesses. He didn't want to worry too much about this matter, so he diverted the words: "You...... It's fine, you don't have to worry about it. What's going on out there, so messy? ”
The side of the shaving shop facing the street is transparent, and when the weather is good, the straw curtains are rolled up, so that pedestrians can see things on the street clearly. Just now, it was clear that a few people were hurriedly carrying a person over, presumably with some injuries. Huzi didn't expect the head shaving master to answer, just to stop discussing what had just happened.
Unexpectedly, the head shaving master looked at the two of them in surprise and said, "The two young masters are not residents of the city, right?" ”
Huzi nodded: "How do you say it?" ”
The shaving master sighed and said, "It's not hot for the past few days, and it's getting a plague." It was said that it came from other places, and the medical hall was too busy for the past two days. ”
Huzi snorted: "Plague? ”
