Chapter 418: The Blind Man
Ye Liancheng, who had nothing to do, took the black knife night after putting it into the scabbard in his hand, and observed it carefully for a while with the help of the sun.
After finishing the seams, he is worthy of being the most famous carpenter in Chaisang City, Ye Liancheng is happy in his heart, and he is glad that such a good opportunity for white prostitution was picked up by himself.
Approaching the beginning of winter, although the northernmost city of Chaisang City, which is close to the Great Zhou Kingdom, is not snowing heavily, the cold wind on the street is still enough for people to drink a pot. Most of the pedestrians on the streets are in a hurry, and if there is nothing wrong with it, who wants to be tormented by the cold wind on the street?
Fortunately, the sun is shining today, and it is a rare sunny day, and there are many vendors pushing carts and selling roasted sweet potatoes on the streets.
On this day, it is really a great pleasure in the world to be able to eat a bite of hot roasted sweet potatoes. Ye Liancheng almost didn't resist the temptation to buy a roasted sweet potato, and the reason why he stopped this idea was that his second sister-in-law wanted to stew mutton today, and he still had to save some stomach.
Steaming lamb soup is a must-have in winter, and the city of Chaisang is rich in mutton products, and the quality of the lamb here is first-class, compared with roasted sweet potatoes, you can see which is stronger and which is weaker at a glance.
Ye Liancheng, who was aroused by the gluttony in his stomach, didn't care so much, he just wanted to go back early, it was windy outside, so it was really good to stay in the house and eat.
Ye Liancheng, who accelerated his pace, unconsciously came to a street that must be passed to go home, this street is a place where some hawkers selling spices gather on weekdays, spices as a condiment, not as many types as Ye Liancheng in his previous life, but the price is prohibitive for ordinary people, so there are very few people here on weekdays, but when Ye Liancheng came here today, there was a faint tendency to leak water here.
It's not that the government officials are patrolling again, or that large caravans are passing through here, but there are simply a lot of people.
This made Ye Liancheng feel a little curious in his heart, what is the matter, there are still so many people here on such a cold day? Ye Liancheng, who is not too busy to see the excitement, joined the ranks of this group of people, there is still a period of time before lunch, there is no need to take a detour to rush back.
Finally squeezed into the center of the crowd with his physical fitness, Ye Liancheng saw the culprit who caused the street to be overcrowded, it turned out to be a broken Taoist priest with two apprentices.
This Taoist priest is not as majestic as Jiang Hao's master on Longhu Mountain, just by his thin and shabby clothes, it can be seen that he is a monk halfway, and he has not entered the right track, which means that in the eyes of others, he is a Taoist, but in the eyes of a real Taoist, he is just a worldly charlatan.
The old Taoist priest was blind, the kind that had been blind in both eyes for several years, and the thin old Taoist priest's movements were not hindered, and he moved freely under the support of the female apprentice.
And the other male apprentice looks a little similar to his master, black and not slippery, only a pair of clear eyes are very conspicuous, he stands silently behind the master and his sister, carrying a yellow sail flag, with the words 'urgent wishful order' written on it.
The female apprentice is naturally pleasing to the water, and if the male apprentice is not a brother and sister relationship with the female apprentice, the old Taoist priest will not take a fancy to him and take him into the door.
The younger sister of the two brothers and sisters is named Yuanyuan, and the eldest brother is named Pan Mu, but the actual age of both of them is only ten years old, and they can't grow tall due to long-term malnutrition, and they look only five or six years old.
Although worshipping under the same person, the treatment of the brother and sister can be described as worlds apart, Yuanyuan is the closed disciple of the old Taoist, which is the kind of person who pours out his money as his own daughter, and Pan Mu is an outer disciple, but in fact he is more like a laborer who follows the old Taoist, just carrying that Taoist flag is enough for him to choke.
Since the old Taoist priest dared to set up a stall here, he naturally came prepared, he has been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has finally gained a name, others call him 'blind Taoist', this title does not sound very elegant, but it can't match the old Taoist priest's liking. After so many years, others have long forgotten the real name of the old Taoist, and only know the name of "blind Taoist" and "blind Taoist".
The three of them did not come here to cheat or kill demons, but to open a stall, talk about ordinary books, and rob the business of the storyteller in the restaurant.
Don't say it, although the ventriloquist of the blind Taoist is not good, he still has his uniqueness in attracting so many people.
There was a portable small wooden table in front of the blind Taoist priest, on which a curtain was set up like a shadow puppet show, and he said that Yuanyuan was controlling the puppet villain to stage a play, which was not exciting.
This is not the most commendable, this blind Taoist priest every time the people in the book fight to the most wonderful part, he will pinch his hands, and add some special effects to the head of the villain on the curtain.
For example, at this time, the blind Taoist said with righteous thoughts in his mouth: "The leader of the righteous path in the rivers and lakes is named Mei Shisan, and the demon path giant who is confronting him is called Dao Jianxiao, and the two fought in the thunderstorm..."
As soon as the word "thunderstorm" came out, the blind Taoist priest pinched his hands, and the curtain was suddenly covered with dark clouds and thunder, and then heavy rain fell on the wooden platform, and the puppet villains who were manipulated by Yuanyuan also began the final fight.
In this scene, the onlookers applauded and applauded.
Ye Liancheng, who was watching from the sidelines with great interest, nodded unconsciously, although it was just some tricks, but it was really good to be able to use the tricks flexibly, the drama in the stands was played vividly in the hands of that little girl, and it was indeed able to attract so many people.
After this scene was finished, the old Taoist priest silently closed his mouth, and when the people around him were impatient, he asked to clear his throat, "Hey, please also ask everyone who has money to hold the money..."
At this point, Pan Mu, who was carrying the Dao flag, was stunned for a moment and then reacted, then planted the Dao flag on the ground, and then took out the iron bowl that had been prepared and began to walk towards the onlookers, wanting to seek some 'money field'.
Watching people perform and give a reward was originally a thing that you and I wanted, but it was different in the hands of Pan Mu, Pan Mu was a person who didn't know how to be flexible, he took the iron bowl in front of a person as if it had taken root, and he would never leave if he didn't get the reward.
This made many people extremely embarrassed, they were just watching a lively scene, and eating by themselves was a problem, and where did the reward come from, when Pan Mu came to them, he could only leave in disgrace if he couldn't give the reward.
Although the old Taoist priest is blind, his perception of the surrounding things is still very clear, and Pan Mu's behavior is also firmly grasped by him...
