Chapter 80: The Problem
After eating, the sky was a little brighter.
After washing up with the hot water prepared in the teahouse, Master prepared to lay the floor and let me sleep on the bed with Brother Zhengchuan, and just spend the night.
Brother Zhengchuan and I insisted on letting Master sleep in the bed, but in the end, it became me and Master sleeping in the bed, and Brother Zhengchuan made a bunk on the floor.
The reason is that I am young and should take care of me.
I had never tried to sleep during the day, and unexpectedly, I slept well under the 'devastation' of Master's snoring!
When I woke up, it was already afternoon, but according to the rules of the market, as long as the market was not open, everyone was not allowed to go out.
Master didn't let me and Brother Zhengchuan sit idle, even if we didn't pay so much attention outside, and there were no formal morning and evening classes, he had a way to 'torture' us.
As soon as the 'torture' ended, it was already more than 7 o'clock in the afternoon, and after using the food delivered by the teahouse, it was more than 8 o'clock in the evening.
At this time, the sky is not completely dark, the color of the sky changes, but the background color has changed to dark blue, the most beautiful is the summer evening.
The market opened at half past eight, and after some washing and tidying up, Master took me and Brother Zhengchuan out the door.
When I went out this time, I was not so confident, just because Master said that there is another reason for living here, that is, because the large sum of money I got yesterday has been used up.
Zhengchuan asked him what he was doing? He patted the burden he was carrying mysteriously, and the sound of bottles and cans and other miscellaneous items sounded inside, even if he had dealt with it.
So, I didn't have the confidence to go out, and even at a young age, I knew that if I didn't have the money to walk outside, it would be really difficult.
Fortunately, Master said that when we go out to the market today, we will only go to the southern district, which is the fourth district, to do one thing, and we will leave overnight after we are done.
I've always been more curious about the north and south districts, and the words of that Xiao Li yesterday were still hovering in my head, and he said that he couldn't wander around those two districts at will anyway.
But Master didn't mention that he was going to the North District at all? Then it's good to go shopping in the southern district, I thought like this, and my spirit was lifted again, and my heart was full of curiosity.
There are still so many people in the central square, even more than when we came here yesterday, but after the three of us masters and apprentices came out, no one paid as much attention to us as they did yesterday, at least no one looked at us as blatantly as yesterday.
Master seemed to be very satisfied with this result, but he didn't stay too long in the central square, but took me by the hand and walked quickly towards the southern district with Brother Zhengchuan.
Once the dusk is over, the sky is always dark very quickly, we walk to the south area for only ten minutes, the sky is completely dark, and the night here is the same as yesterday, occupied by all kinds of lanterns, but there is no freshness of yesterday, and even keep yawning to show boredom.
Just because of this southern district, it's as boring as the west district we entered yesterday and there is no store to sell anything, or there is only one shop pù, there is only one counter in the shop, and the boss guy who seems a little bored behind the counter or something, the only difference is that there are large white papers hanging in the store, and the white paper is either densely written with words, or written in three words.
But Master led me in a hurry, and I couldn't see what was written on these blank papers.
I don't know when Master is going to go or where he will stop, in short, this kind of boredom makes it strange that I can endure it, but the strange thing is that the southern district that is so boring is bigger than the eastern and western districts I have been to, and I don't know the northern district.
And the alleys inside are staggered, and the more small alleys there are, the longer the length of the road becomes.
In short, I felt that Master was leading me around for 70,000 times, and I walked for a long time, and I didn't mean to stop, and just when my impatience accumulated to the limit and was about to explode, Master finally stopped.
As for me, it's curiosity that has been mobilized again! Just because this southern area is relatively small in the first place, I saw at least 20 people in front of me, surrounding the door of a small shop in front of it.
Following Master, I'm not afraid to watch the excitement, but I'm afraid that there is no excitement to watch, and I suddenly remembered what Uncle Da said to Master outside the market, where there are many people around every day? I felt happy, maybe the place around this crowd was the place where Master was going to take me.
My guess was right, after finding this place, Master walked straight to that side, and Brother Zhengchuan couldn't help but ask strangely: "Master, how did you find it with ease?" ā
"Why did I miss so much yesterday? It's because I've come to inquire a long time ago, where is the surname Gu? And I just came to take over the job today, so it's not so eye-catching. Master just said that.
Brother Zhengchuan looked at Master sideways, couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "Master, how many sides do you have?" Are you the old pervert, or the old cunning who is now shrewd and does not leak? ā
Master touched his chin and thought for a moment, then looked at Brother Zhengchuan and said, "It doesn't seem to be a good adjective, but I suddenly made a decision just now!" After returning to the mountain gate, the content of your evening class will become richer, and it is really sad to say, I am so big to feed you, it turns out that it is such an image in your heart? ā
Brother Zhengchuan's face collapsed suddenly, just now he was impulsive, and he leaked his mouth, and he was the only one who had to bear the consequences.
And between the three '' of master and apprentice, we have come to the back of the crowd.
The crowd is surrounded by a shop pù, on which lanterns are hung like other shops, but unlike in the West District, the shop pù here has its own plaque, and the plaque hanging on this shop pù clearly has four big characters - Lao Gu Lao Shop.
This name looks very ordinary at first glance, but after a closer look, it still has some meaning? What does it mean to come to this old shop? Or do old customers come to the old store?
However, I didn't pay much attention to this kind of problem for long, and it wasn't until I got closer to the crowd that there weren't many people around the store, but there were many people standing inside the store as if waiting for something.
They are all crowded in the store, and they are also communicating with each other, discussing, and occasionally a few quiet, they will stare at the large white paper full of words on the wall of the store and look at it a few times, and some people will even point to a blank piece of paper after reading it, and be said by the person behind the counter.
Then, the person behind the counter will take off the white paper, roll it into a roll and give it to the person, and after the person takes the white paper, he will take out two silver coins and put them on the counter.
I don't know much about the content of the conversation between them, but I can vaguely hear what the person behind the counter will say for a few days and a half months, and then what fees will not be refunded.
These conversations were so fresh to me that I couldn't help but look up and look at what was written on the blank sheets.
However, at such a time, the master ignored the angry eyes of the people, pulled me into the crowd, and walked straight into the old Gu shop, which was already very crowded.
In this kind of crowding, I naturally don't have time to pay attention to what is written on the blank paper? After entering the shop, Master didn't seem to be too polite, and led us straight to the inner room of the shop.
At this time, naturally some people will be dissatisfied, and a rather mean voice reminded him: "Master, although you are old, you can't rely on the old and sell the old, there is a queue here." ā
"It's like, you have to tell a rule for everything, right?"
"Master, you're still queuing up from outside the store, right?"
Although the person at the beginning did not speak well, he was burdened by everyone, which made my face hot, and the master once taught me and my senior brother that we all said that the heart is free, and people are rules. It means that true freedom and unfettered are in the heart, not in the debauchery and unruliness of behavior. That's a different kind of extreme! As long as people stick to their ways, they will not be bound by the right rules, and what can bind them is often only the strength of the soul.
is like fame and fortune, just like Hongchen obsession
I may not understand that the understanding is too deep, but at least it has planted a seed in my heart, as long as it is good, good, and in line with the rules of the right operation of the Heavenly Dao, it should be obeyed, even if it is just a small queue.
I didn't expect Master to do this, but in the face of everyone's accusations, Master didn't get annoyed, let alone explain anything, just hugged his fist at everyone, and then walked straight to the guy at the counter and took out his sign again.
The guy was puzzled at first, but then he took the sign and looked at it carefully, his face became solemn, and he said to the master: "Master doesn't have to queue up, please come in quickly." ā
The master said sorry to everyone, but the time was really urgent, so he ignored everyone's chatter and walked straight to the inner room.
At this time, in the noise, I heard the voice deliberately amplified by the guy: "Who of you want can take out the invitation card of the second class, you can go in directly without queuing, and you can even take the order and leave without paying any mortgage." ā
Sure enough, as soon as the guy's words fell, the discussion was magically gone, it turned out that Master's brand was so easy to use?
I really wanted to take the sign and take a closer look, but the master had already taken it back into his arms, and Brother Zhengchuan and I had already been taken into the store by him.
The decoration of this store is almost different from Yang Lao'er's shop we visited before, except that in this store, there are also pieces of paper, all with blue edges, and the paper is covered with black gauze.
There were two people sitting in the store, and one of the old men was drinking tea while looking at the person next to him, not knowing what he was thinking?
The other person was holding a piece of paper with a red edge in his hand, and he was looking at it again and again, his face was cloudy.
"Guest, have you decided to read it three times?" The man drinking the tea didn't look at the three of us, but reminded the person next to him.
The man next to him sighed, put down the piece of paper in his hand, and said, "Although the things are good, I don't have the life to get them, and I can't make this list." ā
