The apprentice said, "Then tie a net pocket under the hook, and let the peach fall in the net pocket, won't it be broken?" ”

The artist patted his head: "The master is old, and his brain is not as bright as that of young people." It's up to you, let's use a rope to steal peaches on the ground. ”

After saying that, he took out a bundle of rope from one of the burdens of the burden, and tied a hook to one end of the rope. He also tied a cloth bag under the hook, and stretched the mouth open with thick wire, so that it could fit into a dinner bowl.

After that, the artist grabbed the rope and threw it into the sky. The rope seemed to have spirituality, and it stood up straight as soon as it was moved. The artist kept tying ropes upside down on the ground, and the ropes were running up in mid-air, as if someone was pulling them up. After a while, the other end is ethereal, and there is no end in sight.

This hand suddenly surprised everyone, raised their heads, and stared at them in amazement - such a trick is really unheard of. With this vertical rope, this artist is very good!

When the rope bundle is erected, the artist holds the lower end of the rope, his head is up, and his hands move, making a hook thing. The rope is like a bamboo pole that does not have a long top, and it beats up and down with the artist's hand, and it is not crooked at all.

Seeing it, people sweated, only worried that the rope would suddenly fall bald.

After hooking for a while, the artist handed the rope to the apprentice again, wiped his eyes and said, "The old man is dizzy and can't see the peach clearly." You have small eyes and sharp eyes, you will hook it. ”

The apprentice raised his head, moved his hands a few times, and said happily, "Master, it's hooked." "Then do a downward drag.

Hearing the sound of "Gaba", the apprentice immediately said: "Master, quickly close the rope, you can't help but break it." ”

The artist hurriedly took the rope and pulled the rope down with both hands. As soon as the rope passed through his hand, it became soft, coiling around the ground. And the one on the hand is still as strong as a bamboo pole.

When the rope head went down to the top of his head, the artist took out a tea bowl-sized pink crooked mouth honey ~ peach from the cloth pocket.

The onlookers cheered.

I saw the artist holding the peach in both hands, walked up to the rich man, respectfully offered it, and said: "Master, the peach has been picked, please send it to the old birthday star with a smile." ”

The rich man pinched the peach and smiled "haha". immediately took out a tael of silver and handed it to the artist.

At this time, the apprentice was already holding a small basket and collecting money in the field. Some of the onlookers gave a few texts, and some gave dozens of texts.

The artist shook the silver and said unhappily: "It's not easy for my master and apprentice to raise their faces with a rope for half a day, why do you have to give a three, two, two, two!" ”

Wu Caizhu said: "Today is my mother's 80th birthday, and I want to be auspicious, so I let you perform in front of the stands." If you turn a peach into a peach for me, a tael of silver is already a lot. If you can turn into a real peach, even if it is the size of a fist, let my old mother eat it, and I will give you ten taels of silver. ”

The artist said curtly: "The master is really joking, and the trick is an illusion, relying on props." There is a poem that sings about us: 'The sea bowl ice tray is good at hiding, and it can detain five nonsense and be ridiculous. Stealing peaches and picking beans is wonderful, and the first effort is on the body'.

"Master, you know, what you have in your body can come out. The gesture is to make everyone laugh. It's icy and snowy, where to get fresh peaches? ”

Qi Xiaoting listened to the conversation between the two people very earnestly, and thought: If you conjure a peach, you will give ten taels of silver. I'm going up the mountain in a pot-money is tight, so why don't I plant a peach tree with the soil and earn him ten taels of silver. It not only solved his own poverty, but also helped the old lady to be happy.

Ah, ten taels of silver is an astronomical amount for a penniless person! If you don't take a little risk, how can you get money!

As soon as Qi Xiaoting thought about it in her heart, she said her thoughts to Jiao Na.

Jiaona raised her hands in approval. He said happily: "Master, you can plant a tree, and we will earn more of their silver." He swallowed his saliva as he spoke: "I haven't eaten smoked chicken for a long time." ”

After Jiao Na said this, Qi Xiaoting strengthened her confidence and said to the rich man Wu: "The owner, (still speaking in the tone of fortune telling), I calculated that the old birthday star can eat fresh peaches today." ”

Wu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "How can you say this?" ”

Qi Xiaoting: "The old birthday star is blessed with great life and great creation, and his own blessed star is coming." As the saying goes, longevity peaches, longevity must have peaches. If you can't buy it, I can grow you a peach. ”

The rich man Wu hurriedly said: "Don't talk about a tree, you just plant one, let my mother eat a bite of fresh peaches, and I will definitely reward you." ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Then let's explain the words first: If I grow a peach tree, how much silver will you give me?" ”

The rich man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If you can grow a tree of peaches, the ten taels of silver I just said are considered the price, and the more peaches are counted as one or two pieces of silver, how about it?" ”

A few people in the crowd also coaxed ducks and shouted: "Yes, one or two silver and a peach, let's also buy one to try it." ”

"Talking counts?" Qi Xiaoting emphasized again.

"Of course," said a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper with a look of disdain, "when did our lord tell a lie?" As long as you grow it, we will make it round. I will give you as much silver as I would give you. ”

Jiao Na also encouraged on the side: "Master, okay, plant!" ”

Qi Xiaoting had a bottom in her heart and said, "Then I will borrow the field to plant peach trees." ”

Ryuichi in the space watched all this closely. He couldn't hear people's conversations, and through lip syncing and the rich man Wu gave money to the trick artist, knowing that there were benefits to be made, Qi Xiaoting was going to make money.

Qi Xiaoting really has no money, if she can't earn it anymore, the charcoal stove in the temple will have to stop burning, because the charcoal is about to run out. Another is that Long Yi wants to let go and let Qi Xiaoting break through in society by herself, and also want to see how capable she is.

For all these reasons, there was no transmission, and only Ah Mei quietly observed the outside through the purse purse.

At this time, the field of tricks has shrunk a lot, and some people even came to see Qi Xiaoting. Qi Xiaoting asked the people of the Wu family to fight again, and after there were two square abbots, she quickly threw a soybean-sized piece of soil on the ground, formed a sword finger with her right hand (to fool people), pointed to the middle of the field, and said, "Long!" ”

In the middle of the field, at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye, a yellow-brown earth quickly "grows". Qi Xiaoting took out another peach pit, showed it to the people, and then put it in the center of the land.

The earth shook and surged into the middle. When it swelled into the size of a small grave, a small peach sapling emerged at the top of the mound.

In the book, it is explained: After Qi Xiaoting practiced the sacrifice, she first sacrificed part of the soil into her body, because she had already seen that before the space slate was dissolved, the soil was the foundation of their eating and drinking. She was afraid that if there was a mistake, she would leave the Xiyang box in the space and sacrifice the Xiyang to a part of her body, so as to be prepared.

The peach pit she often carries with her. Folklore has it that the peach branch has the effect of warding off evil spirits, and she wants to meet superstitious people when she is telling fortunes, so she gives peach pits to let them grow peach trees. The peach pit is grown in the soil, and it is stronger than ordinary peach trees in terms of quality and spiritual power.

It came in handy today.

The little peach sapling grows when it sees the wind. In a short time, it grew into a peach tree more than one person tall. The "whoosh" of the green leaves blown by the breeze contrasts sharply with the snow on the rooftops of the houses in the distance.

In full view, the peach tree blossomed and bore fruit. The fruit is one moment larger, and the other is larger. The color also looks from blue to white to red.

After the fragrance of peaches wafted in the courtyard, the big honey ~ peach the size of a tea bowl flew from the tree to Qi Xiaoting as if it had wings, and piled it up on the ground.

The peach tree is still growing in place. This is a courtyard, not on the side, not on the edge, and peaches will grow in a while, wouldn't it seem too weird. If you say that you want to plant a peach, then let it only grow one tree!

Qi Xiaoting walked up to the peach tree, stroked the peach tree with her hand, imagining the scene of entering the space with the soil and the tree, and with a move of her mind, the whole peach tree and the "soil" of the long tree disappeared without a trace in front of people.

The onlookers suddenly boiled and shouted:

"What a god!"

"Let's see if it's a real peach?"

"You can't fake it."

"I didn't see it, this little fortune teller really has a hand."

"This is called a real person not showing his face, and showing his face is not a real person. How about it, let him count a hexagram, right? ”

“…………”

The rich man of Wu was even more happy, stepped forward to pick up a peach, pinched it, and came out with a thick juice, and took a bite, his mouth was full of fragrance and sweetness, which was better than all the peaches eaten in summer. And the ripe is just soft and glutinous, which is suitable for the toothless old mother to eat.

"It's a real peach, and the quality is very good!"

The rich man raised the fresh peach he had bitten in his hand and greeted the onlookers.

There was another cheer from the crowd.

"One hundred and ten in all."

The housekeeper-like man who was squatting and counting peaches stood up and said to the old rich man.

The old rich man nodded, asked someone to fill a plate, and sent it to the old mother in the stands. For the rest, let the person who looks like a housekeeper take a bamboo basket and put it up.

At this time, the people who had shouted for one tael of silver and one peach rushed over one after another, and said to the person who looked like a housekeeper: "Okay, one or two pieces of silver, everyone has a share, whoever buys it will pay for the silver." ”

The person who looks like a housekeeper probably can't be the master, so he asks the rich man for advice. The rich man said, "Sell to them, and whoever greets and sells to whom." ”

So, people left a tael of silver, picked up a honey ~ peach, and left happily.

The fresh peaches on the ground were quickly sold. The remaining middle-aged man, who looked like a housekeeper, quickly let the servant carry him away.

The rich man of Wu scraped together enough 120 taels of silver and gave it to Qi Xiaoting.

In front of everyone's eyes, it is more revealing than revealing white. Qi Xiaoting hurriedly put it in the purse and dragged Jiao Na to leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the rich man.
