I walked into the gate of the ancient theater building with an oil lamp, and suddenly, a cold yin qi "whew" from the courtyard, scattered and fled, I grinned, I should have made room for the Taoist master a long time ago, and now I run, I still know each other......

My wrist was inexplicably heavy, and before I could figure out the reason, I was dragged out of the door by a strong force, I turned my head to look at Zhang Zhenren, and shouted in surprise: "Zhang Zhenren, what do you still want to do?" Why did you drag it out when they were all in? ”

Zhang Zhenren blew his beard, pointed at the valuable "customer" behind me with a dry tobacco pouch, and said, "You stinky boy let me tell you what's good?" The two of us are still counting on them to earn back the expenses along the way, you are good, there is a place to roll and forget about the business, why don't you invite them all in? ”

I smiled bitterly: "Zhang Zhenren, I feel more and more that I am not as good as one of them, don't worry about the wind and sun, let alone eat today's and tomorrow's, pick the door ......"

shook the bell and hit forward, and the neat team jumped into the courtyard gate one after another, and Zhang Zhenren behind him was not idle: "Hey! I said, where did you get all this? Are you hungry or thirsty? The whole little enemy! ”

I took the client to a dark corner and lined up against the wall, then collected the bells and placed the oil lamps on the stone platform opposite them.

Now I finally relaxed, stretched hard, looked at the sky outside, it was close to dawn, as soon as the day dawned, I could go to the street to have breakfast happily, thinking of this, the fatigue and sleepiness of the night disappeared in an instant.

The so-called people go to the empty building, in the entire ancient theater building, there is not even a decent piece of furniture, there is only a broken door panel, and a big hole is rotten, and a layer of hay is paved on it, as if someone has slept on it, Zhang Zhenren looked at the door panel, slapped his butt on it, and said with a smile: "I can finally sleep well, stinky boy, this place is not bad, right?" ”

I stepped around left and right, and there was a door panel under Zhang Zhenren, and the rest of the ground was cold ground, but he was comfortable, what should I do?

After so long contact, I have mastered Zhang Zhenren's living habits, he only eats one meal a day, that is, a while before setting off on the road, he is asleep during the day, and he can't wake him up even if there is thunder and lightning outside, but as soon as it gets dark, he will wake up on time, no, just as Zhang Zhenren was about to lie down, he handed me a small amount of money, one five, two two, and one penny, which adds up to a dime.

Zhang Zhenren smiled slightly: "When you go out to eat and drink, bring me some back by the way, remember, come back as soon as you finish eating, and you are not allowed to stay outside!" ”

I scratched the back of my head and said with a bitter face, "That's it...... Then why not let me stay in the face for a little longer? ”

Zhang Zhenren lay down on his back and said lazily: "Don't talk nonsense, give me more money to talk back and give me less money tomorrow, go quickly......"

Before the words fell, I already heard Zhang Zhenren's snoring roaring...... I shook my head and walked out of the door with the money, having said that, Zhang Zhenren slept for a day, and he wouldn't wake up no matter how he called halfway, I just stayed outside for a day and estimated that he wouldn't know, hehe smiled, and strode towards the village - the morning air was exceptionally fresh, I took a deep breath, and felt a burst of joy surging all over my body, relaxed, comfortable, and for some reason, with Zhang Zhenren, sometimes there are some shadows with the master, although I have done the most work along the way, but I have never been half distracted, It's not like a few months ago, I always couldn't sleep well, thinking about this and that all day long, and now I have found that long-lost feeling, but unfortunately, it is not the master who is around......

"Whew~~~"

It was cold, and a trace of cold air hit my body, and I shivered and shivered, which ...... What's going on? It was fine just now, but is there something strange in the air?

I quietly opened the eye of the sky, but I saw that there was nothing, but it was not right! Just now, it was like a trace of yin passing by, but I couldn't see it at this time, I guessed that it was either running fast or I was too slow to open the eyes of the sky, so I simply didn't pay attention to it, there are more dirty things in the world, as long as I don't bump into it in a daze, otherwise it will be destroyed!

Walking into the village, it was just dawn, because it was too early, most of the shops had not yet opened, there was only one steamed bun shop on the street that was open, and I smelled a fragrant smell of bean curd from afar, I Tian Tian dry lips, followed by swallowing saliva, and walked quickly to the door of the steamed bun shop.

The owner of the shop is an old couple, an old man who is burning firewood, his hair is all white, he has a big belly, and he seems to be humming a little song leisurely.

When the old lady saw me coming, she smiled kindly: "Young man, do you want something to eat?" ”

I grinned and said, "Grandma, how do you sell your buns?" And bean curd, bring me a bowl too. ”

The old lady smiled pleasantly: "The buns cost two for a penny, cheap, but the bean curd is a bit expensive, hehe, two cents a bowl, how much do you want to eat?" ”

"Uh......" Eating bean curd along the way is a penny a bowl, and the most expensive time is three cents and two bowls, this old woman actually asks for two cents straightforwardly, and her tone is extremely gentle, and she doesn't look like the kind of businessman who kills people.

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Then bring me four buns first, and then wrap another four and I'll take them away later, grandma, you ...... Your bean curd is too expensive, isn't it? ”

Don't look at the old lady's age, her hands and feet are quite dexterous, after serving the four buns on the table, she smiled slightly apologetically: "Young man, you are from out of town, right?" I guess you don't know our situation, in fact, Douhuaer is not valuable, even if you give someone a few bowls for free, it's nothing, but we can't help it during this time, we must have water to make Douhuaer, but we drink water ourselves by buying, and there is too much water to make Douhuaer, if you don't add some money, I'm afraid our bun shop won't last long, so ...... Young man, would you take care of me? ”

"What?" I thought I had misheard, so I hurriedly asked, "Grandma, why do you people in this place have to buy water to drink?" Could it be that you have been in a drought here for many years without a drop of rain? ”

The old lady smiled bitterly and shook her head: "There is no drought, not only that, but the water source in our area is still very abundant!" ”

I wondered even more, "Why do you have to buy water when you have a water source?" Could it be that there is a bandit mountain king here? ”

The old lady glanced around, shook her head again, and said, "It's not what you think, it's just that the water source in our area can't be drunk, and whoever dares to drink it has to put their lives on the ......."

In the last sentence, the old lady's voice was very low, but in my ears, it was a huge layer of Lang, how can you drink water and still drink people's lives? What's going on?

As soon as I heard this sound, the old lady hurriedly shouted to the old man behind the stove: "Old man, don't burn the fire, Erhaizi has already pulled water into the village, you hurry up and buy another bucket, otherwise our house will not be able to open the pot tonight!" ”

The old man stopped humming a little tune, and immediately stood up and ran towards the entrance of the village with a bucket in his hand, shouting as he ran: "Erhaizi, you leave me some...... Leave me a little ......."

I was completely stunned, what happened to the villagers here, why did they dare not drink water and spend money to buy it, why drinking water can still kill people, this is also too strange, after thinking about it, I was determined to figure out what was going on, and immediately stood up, took a few buns wrapped by the old lady into my arms, and held a bun in one hand and gnawed it, paid the money, and rushed to the entrance of the village quickly-
