I only heard a clang, and as the stone fell to the ground, nothing happened except the splashed dust, and Niu Ya pouted, "Scare ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the two black wooden doors suddenly opened, and then a torrent of stones shot out of the doors, all hitting the opposite wall, making the earthen walls as potholed as the sandy beach where raindrops hit.

If he really stood there and knocked on the door just now, he was afraid that his head would be broken and bleeding, Hua Ronghua couldn't help but be afraid for a while, "Why is this so?" ”

Yun Qiu was surprised and said: "Gong Lao is this temper, impatient people always come to the door to find these organs, except for those who are familiar with him, most of them will be tricked." But it'll be fine when the trap is launched before leaving, come on, let's go inside. ”

This time, Hua Ronghua felt that his legs and stomach were a little tendoned, and he wanted to retreat.

Yunqiu smiled: "It's okay, follow me in." ”

After all, they all came here, and they were really unwilling to go back like this, and Hua Ronghua was also more curious about this strange person who could make all kinds of mechanisms, so he had the courage to walk into the courtyard with Yunqiu.

The courtyard was no different from the courtyard of ordinary people, but Yunqiu refused to take a step forward, but stood on the stone steps at the door and asked Niu Ya to call people.

"Why didn't you shout?" Niu Ya was a little dissatisfied with Yun Qiuzhi.

"Niu, shout, your voice is loud!" Hua Ronghua felt that Yunqiu might be embarrassed, and people deliberately accompanied him, so he didn't have to bother others if he called someone or something, right?

Seeing that her master had spoken, Niu Ya stopped complaining, put her hands to her mouth, and shouted with all her strength: "Is there anyone? Anyone? Someone! ”

shouted several times in a row, but there was no response, and when she was about to shout again, Yunqiu stopped her, "Wait first." ”

After waiting for about an hour, only footsteps could be heard, and then an unkempt old man appeared on the other side of the courtyard, looked at the three women side by side, and finally his eyes fell on Hua Ronghua's stomach.

That infiltrating gaze frightened Hua Ronghua for a moment, and subconsciously hid behind Niu Ya.

"I don't have the tools to give birth!" The old man's voice was hoarse, giving goosebumps on his body.

Yunqiu said on the side: "Gong Lao, don't frighten my newly recognized sister, hurry up and let us go in and rest, this sister is tired of rushing this way with a big belly." ”

The old man glanced at Hua Ronghua, "I still run blindly with a big belly, and I deserve to be tired!" Then he said to Yun Qiu: "Come in from the stone road on the left." Then he turned and went back into the house.

Hua Ronghua looked at Yun Qiu and didn't understand what Gong Lao said, but saw Yun Qiu holding Hua Ronghua's hand and walking to the left. It wasn't until she stepped on it that she realized that the road below was a narrow cobblestone road for one person to walk on the side.

Yun Qiu explained: "Gong Lao doesn't like to be disturbed, so some organs are suddenly set up in the yard, and occasionally the location of the organs is not the same, so we have to ask the passers-by before we can go." ”

It's so troublesome, I didn't come if I knew it earlier, Hua Ronghua was a little impatient.

When he finally entered the room, he found Gong Lao sitting at the table in front of the window again, holding a wooden ornament in his hand and not knowing what he was carving.

Leaning on the inside of the room, there are three rows of Bogu shelves, on which are placed all kinds of small objects, hairpins, hairpins, bracelets, collar pendants, jade pendants, and many ornaments that Hua Ronghua has only seen on TV but can't name at all.

"What is this?" Hua Ronghua saw that there was a shining bracelet-like thing placed in a compartment, the object was about two fingers wide and half a centimeter thick, larger than the bracelet, and he was curious and wanted to reach out to take it.

"Don't move!" Gong Lao shouted angrily, rushed over and pushed the stunned Hua Ronghua away, and then put the wooden ornament he had just carved, an eagle with wings ready to fly, in the space next to him, and then turned to Hua Ronghua, who was red-faced, "Whose woman are you who don't know the rules, and the things here are also things that you can move casually?" ”

Hua Ronghua was unconvinced, "What's wrong with the woman?" Can't a woman touch these things of you? ”

Seeing this, Yun Qiu hurriedly explained on the side, "Sister, Gong Lao's objects here are all equipped with mechanisms, some are filled with hidden weapons, and some are filled with poison, he is afraid that you will accidentally touch the mechanism and hurt yourself!" ”

It turned out that he had misunderstood, Hua Ronghua's face turned red again, this time he was ashamed, "I'm sorry!" I also want to ask you to help me make a bracelet to see that. ”

"I'm going to go to the gold shop outside!" Old man Gong didn't reply.

"No, I'm trying to hit a hollow." Hua Ronghua hurriedly explained.

Gong Lao looked back at this time, his eyes fell on Hua Ronghua's half-exposed bracelet, and said disdainfully: "Is it like the one you have on your hand?" I can't do that stuff. ”

Yun Qiu smiled and said, "Didn't you come to you because you knew that Gong Lao was good at your skills?" ”

"Hmph, you don't have to be sloppy, don't forget that you haven't paid for what you gave you last time!" When Gong Lao and Yun Qiu spoke, their expressions softened a little.

Hua Ronghua was treated coldly again and again, and he couldn't stay any longer, but he finally asked without giving up, "Then Gong Lao, do you have a good hollow bracelet here, I will pick one, if there are other hollow jewelry that can be carried with me!" ”

"There's a lot of that stuff!" As he spoke, Gong Lao picked up a wooden box from the corner and put it on the table, "Pick it yourself." ”

Hua Ronghua, who choked on the dust on the box, couldn't help coughing a few times, and Niu Ya hurriedly picked up a black cloth from the table next to her to wipe the dust off.

Gong Lao's eyes widened, "Why do you bastard girl use my gown to wipe dust?" ”

Niu Ya opened the lid of the box and asked, "Is that your gown?" Why does it seem darker than my grandfather's footcloth? ”

Yun Qiu couldn't help but snicker when he saw that Gong Lao was deflated, and also echoed: "That's it, Gong Lao, if you put on the clothes I sent, at least you won't be used as a rag." ”

Hua Ronghua was a little embarrassed when she saw this, "I'm sorry, I'll let Yahuan wash it for you!" Niu Ya, you go and help Gong Lao wash. ”

Gong Lao eased his face at Hua Ronghua when he returned, "Hmph, after all, you still have a little conscience as a woman." As he spoke, he sent the pouting cow girl to fetch water and laundry.

"For the sake of being so sensible, if you like the things in this box, I will give it to you cheaply, one thousand taels and one!" Gong Lao, who turned around, said.

One thousand taels? Or is it cheaper? Hua Ronghua was secretly speechless, but he was not convinced, "Is the content in your box worth the price?" "Is it made of gold or hollow, why isn't it worth a thousand taels?

Gong Lao's beard was going to be pulled off, "You woman is so illiterate, even if you go all over Beipeng, no one may be able to make a craft like mine!" ”

Yun Qiu hurriedly said on the side: "Not to mention Gong Lao's craftsmanship, just the disciple hanging under Gong Lao's name makes more than a thousand taels of objects. ”

"Huh? So expensive? Hua Ronghua looked at the sloppy Gong Lao, he was really unseemly! She picked up a brass bracelet from the box and looked at it carefully, where it was worth a thousand taels.

I saw that the outside of the bracelet was carved with a circle of small animals based on the zodiac signs, but on the inside were two animals that looked like tigers and not tigers, with a ring in the middle. She lifted her finger and pressed the rings on the heads of the various animals, only to find that the bracelets had not changed in any way.

Gong Lao pouted disdainfully on the side, "At first glance, he is a layman, and he can't see such an obvious mechanism." Stepped forward, took the copper bracelet from Hua Ronghua's hand, stretched out two hands and pressed it on the ring and the tiger on the outside at the same time, only to hear a choking sound, the copper bracelet suddenly broke off from the ring, and from the inside burst out of the slender blade of about an inch, the cold light was shining, bluffing Hua Ronghua a jump.

"If this thing is put on your hand, if someone ties it, you can cut the rope and escape with just one press of the mechanism, how about it? Buy this, right? "Gong Lao highly recommends.

"Uh......" Hua Ronghua swallowed and spit, always afraid that the blade would come out of the copper bracelet and hurt himself, so he couldn't help but shake his head and refused: "That, I still don't need it, I just want a hollow bracelet." ”

Seeing that she refused to ask Gong Lao was a little disappointed, he snorted coldly when he heard this, "Are you going to hide the silver ticket or the title deed?" ”

"You know?" Hua Ronghua was a little nervous, would he snatch all the silver tickets in his bracelet now?

Gong Lao said disdainfully: "Aren't all those who buy hollow ornaments do this?" That kind of thing is that 1,000 yuan can give you two! And not only bracelets, collars and jade hairpins are hollow, it is better for you to choose a jade pendant or collar, there is a lot of space, and there are many things that can be hidden. As he spoke, he found everything.

Hua Ronghua looked through it and shook his head, "I still want a bracelet, everything else has a time to leave the body, but as long as the bracelet is not taken off, it will not leave the owner." ”

"Then let it be!" As he spoke, Gong Lao turned out the hollow bracelets and put them on the table for her to pick.

"Why don't you pick this!" Yun Qiu picked up a brown and faintly black bracelet from the table and handed it to Hua Ronghua, who was picking among the gold and silver bracelets.

"What is this?" Hua Ronghua picked up the bracelet and looked at it carefully, huh? It's quite weighty, a little heavier than a hollow silver bracelet, and there is no carving on it, only a clear reflection of the texture.

Gong Lao glanced at Yunqiu, "Your eyes are not in vain." ”

Yun Qiu smiled, "Old Gong, my sister doesn't understand this, you can just recommend a few good products, don't deceive people with these things you practice." ”

"How can I deceive? It's her own ignorance. Gong Lao jumped to his feet.

It seems that Yunqiu has brought himself a really good thing, but what is this? Wood? Hua Ronghua approached the bracelet and smelled it carefully, and there was a faint fragrance.

"This should be made of yellow rosewood, and it is estimated that it may take a long time before it changes color." Yunqiu Road.

Gong Lao pouted his eyes and said, "Well, this wood is hard, it took me a lot of effort to make it!" ”

After looking at it for a while, Hua Ronghua also felt a little more pleasing to the eye, but, "Is this also hollow?" Where's the mechanism? ”

"Since I put it here, it's naturally hollow!" Gong Lao glanced at Hua Ronghua, took the wooden bracelet and pressed it casually, the smooth bracelet suddenly broke in two, and the inside was really black and empty.

"Just put it on like this after you put it up, it's very simple!" Gong Lao said to demonstrate to the two.

Hua Ronghua took the bracelet again, feeling a little bottomless, "It's so simple, it's not like someone else will open it when they touch it, it's too unsafe, right?" And there is not even a bolt at the seam, will it get water? ”

Gong Lao was a little annoyed, and his eyes widened, "Even if you soak it in water for three days, you won't get a drop of water; And who told you to open it when you touch it, you come and touch it for me to try! ”

Hua Ronghua took the bracelet and looked around, and finally pressed it in the dark place of the texture but found that the bracelet did not move at all, and it was still the same when she changed the place, and in the end, she tried almost all the places of the bracelet, but she didn't open it like Gong Lao did just now.
