Chapter Eighty-Three: The Quirky Scholar of the Little Noodle Restaurant
This vacant land is a relatively large piece of yellow earth, there are a lot of gravel in the pimples on it, there can be more than ten acres of land area, it is a mound is not very high and it is more than ten meters higher than the ground, the open space is full of wild grass, it can be a few hundred meters away from the road to the west and it is quite quiet, sure enough, as Li Sanqi said, there are really two small temples here that can be 100 meters apart, presumably it must be the City God Temple and the Land Temple.
It is said that the Yin Mansion and the Yang Mansion and the temple have a lot of words in it, I don't know anything about it, so I can only ask for help: "A few masters don't know anything about this temple, I don't know what you think is the comparison there?" ”
One of the oldest bricklayers here pointed to the southern edge and said, "I think that's good, stay away from those two temples to avoid conflict with other gods." ”
"I think it's good." A carpenter agreed.
I explained again, let them deal with it first, and then leave another nurse for him to help. took Li Sanqi and Keke and walked towards the town.
On the way, Keke asked, "What temple are you going to let them build?" ”
I was happy and replied, "This, I really don't know!" ”
"How could you not know?" Keke asked again.
Building bridges, paving roads, building temples, or marrying is said to be cultivating public morality, but this building a temple for a little ghost baby may be really rare, maybe I'm the first person! As for the name of the temple, he didn't think about it, so he smiled awkwardly and replied:
"I don't know! Last night I dreamed that a prodigy said that there was nowhere to live and asked me to build a temple for him, and then I agreed, and he also told me where his current Dharma Appearance was. ”
"Oh, I see! So are we now the ones who marry that prodigy? Keke asked.
"yes!" I said, I was afraid that she would ask to the end, it seems that Keke didn't think much about it, so I was relieved. Soon I arrived at the small alley where I chased the thief yesterday, the small alley was very quiet, and the small terracotta figurines were still quietly erected in the corner.
When I got closer, it was really similar to the little ghost baby, and the paintings on the terracotta figurines were still the same as the clothes on the little ghost baby. The two Keke also followed, looking curiously at the portrait of a little boy painted with clay figurines on the ground, which was only half a meter high.
"This is the prodigy you are talking about?" Keke asked.
"Yes, that's him." I said a few words and walked forward, intending to pick it up.
When Li Sanqi saw me walking forward, he said, "Childe, I'll hug him, don't do it, don't stain your clothes." ”
"No, I can do it myself." I was afraid that Li Sanqi would not know the severity of the matter, and if he broke the terracotta figurines, it would be troublesome, so I rejected him.
As soon as I finished saying this, a voice came from my ear, "Thank you, brother." ”
I was so frightened that I turned around and saw nothing!
When I turned around, another voice came, "Brother, I'm talking to you." ”
I was stunned again, and instantly understood, looked at the terracotta figurines, and said in my heart, it turned out that this ghost baby was talking to myself, but I didn't expect this ghost baby to be able to talk during the day, I was afraid that the two of them would not reply.
Walked to the front of the terracotta figurines and picked it up, walked back, nothing to say all the way, and soon returned to the place where the small temple was built in the west of the town, the terracotta figurines are not big, but they are really not light, to say the least there are eighty catties, it may be that the solid is not hollow I guess. I put down the terracotta figurines and gasped, and at this time the ground had been cleared out of an area of twenty square meters, and it was enough to build a small temple dedicated to only one god, so I spoke:
"A few masters, you will build according to this terracotta figurine, and the name of the small temple is the Golden Boy Temple. How long do you expect it to take to build it, and can it be done today? ”
The bricklayer said, "You can't have enough manpower, if you have a few people rushing in the day." ”
I thought that a small temple with a height of two meters should be completed in one day, but I didn't expect this task to be half a day, and at this time, it was not yet started, in order to prevent the little ghost baby from having no place to live tonight, and then trouble myself, I sent Li Sanqi to find someone to get a piece of heart. After all this was taken care of, it was almost noon, so I hurried to the teahouse to complete the agreement with Wang Laoxi.
I didn't say anything all the way and soon arrived at the teahouse, maybe I was a little hungry after tossing too much this morning, and my stomach was beating a leather drum and it was still very loud, so I asked Keke next to me: "Keke, are you hungry?" ”
Keke said weakly, "I'm hungry." ”
I thought that this was the time of lunch, and the two of them were still hungry, so it was better to find a noodle restaurant to eat briefly before going to the teahouse, otherwise drinking tea on an empty stomach would only make more and more trouble. Coincidentally, next to the teahouse is a small noodle restaurant, the door of the small noodle restaurant is very small, so small that people can't see it without stopping, and the door plaque is just a simple word "noodle restaurant" that is not very clear, which is absolutely invisible if the eyes are not good. Because the handwriting on the card is obviously not engraved, just a random piece of wood and ink to write two words. The plaque is like a person's face, and it is the first choice that almost all businesses will deliberately frame, which is eye-catching and easy for passers-by to pay attention to, and it also represents the appearance of the store.
I wasn't too elegant, I just said to Keke, "Let's go to this place for a simple meal, shall we?" ”
As I spoke, I pointed to the small noodle restaurant, Keke was not too picky, and answered lightly, and the two of us stepped into this small noodle restaurant. It feels good when you enter, compared to the plaque outside, which is so simple that you can't see it, it's just a sparrow than a pheasant, oh, it seems that this metaphor can't be any better! But it's true that the interior is very good, simple and simple and clean, and there are a few people pulling the noodles of the big name, eating like it is indecent but obviously very fragrant. I subconsciously swallowed my saliva, and I fixed my eyes to see that there was another person with his back to the door, which looked very familiar, like Wang Laoxi. Across from him sat a man who looked to be a scholar in his thirties, with a half-eaten bowl of noodles on the table, and he was looking at Keke and me.
Looking at each other, I feel that this body is very uncomfortable, I feel that this person is not looking at my appearance but my heart, his eyes are also very red, I feel that this person is definitely not looking at Keke, or looking at me. Thinking that this person would not have any special love, I immediately glared back at him, and he felt that I was glaring at him, and he actually smiled slightly, and then continued to bow his head to eat noodles and stop looking at me.
Grandma drop, I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, it was really unlucky to meet such a person, I cursed in my heart, and my face was a little swollen with anger.
Keke looked at me at this time and asked, "Brother Xiang, what's wrong with you?" Don't you want to eat here? ”
I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, let's eat here." ”
At this time, the runner also came to me, said a word of welcome or something like that, Keke and I found a corner and sat down, there are more than a dozen kinds of noodles in the shop, I won't say anything, I ordered two bowls of knife-cut noodles and two plates of small pickles, and the runner turned around and left......
