Chapter 57: By Boat
The canal is an important barrier used by the Zheng family to block the sad mountain and the Yuntou urn, don't look at the Yuntou urn carrying this mountain all day long, it seems that they are safe, but their relationship is not so close.
If it weren't for the water canal to obstruct it, I'm afraid that the Yuntou urn would have thrown the mountain down a long time ago, at that time, regardless of whether it was the Zheng family or the refining sect, it would not be easy to use, who would want to carry a mountain on their backs all day long.
The old man stood in front of the bamboo building in the canal, and at his feet was a painted puppet man playing with stones, this time into the mountain, Zhou Tianshen did not bring it into the mountain, just carried a bamboo basket, and now there is nothing else in the bamboo basket except a few peaches.
After seeing Ge Sanliang, Zhou Tianshen gave him all the peaches, and the old man was not polite, he grabbed the peaches and ate them, Zhou Tianshen's methods he had seen, and he could be friends with people like him, and he would make sure that he would not lose money, so when Zhou Tianshen proposed to stay here for another night, the old man didn't say a word, gave up his room, and carried a rattan chair and bamboo basket by himself, admiring the moon, smoking, and eating peaches.
It has been more than a month since the last meeting, and if it weren't for Ge Sanliang's sudden letter saying that the Yuntou urn would land immediately, Zhou Tianshen would have wanted to go farther away to have a look.
Pushing open the door, the books in the study were placed very neatly, exactly the same as before he left, and there was no trace of turning, presumably Ge Sanliang had greeted him in advance, and since he left, he had never let anyone in.
Zhang Yunan opened the window familiarly, facing the cloudy and misty mountain, vaguely seeing a courtyard and a pink peach forest on it, breathing the cold air, Zhang Yunan felt some pain in his lungs, took out some painkillers from the pharmacopoeia, and after eating it, his face was a little flushed.
Zhou Tianshen noticed this and didn't say anything.
Removing a book from under the bookshelf and sitting at his desk, with the cyan flask at hand, he would only take out the golden flask when he was in danger, he had figured out the role of the golden flask over the years, not just to store wine.
Zhou Tianshen asked casually, "Are you injured?"
Zhang Yunan didn't hide it, and said softly, "I have a lung disease, I had it when I was very young, and the master said that it was a genetic disease, which was inherited from my parents who I had not yet met, and they threw me away, but gave me a lung disease that can never be cured." ”
Zhou Tianshen was not interested in these things, so he didn't say much.
He looked intently at the book in his hand, there is a group of people on this continent called novelists, they use their imagination and the brush in their hands to write one wonderful story after another, Zhou Tianshen once thought that it is not bad to be a novelist, at least it will leave some traces of existence.
He thought of the tall man in the village, he said that his name was Bai Ju, he was a teacher, Zhou Tianshen knew his identity, the most famous novelist on the mainland, Ju Baishui, had written many books, and the "Kingdom of Immortality" in his hand was one of them, and the "Nanpo Long-winded" in Fan Wuyi's hand seemed to be too.
I can't believe that such a person would live in a small village.
This matter was still told to him by Xiao Xiaodu, and he seemed to know everything like Ju Baishui.
The night is getting thicker and thicker, and he can no longer see the whole picture of the sad mountain, Zhang Yunan closed the window, sat opposite Zhou Tianshen, took out the pair of embroidered shoes, and put them on the desk, "These shoes are for you." ”
Zhou Tianshen refused without raising his head, "I don't need it, you should take it, it's enough for me to have that sword." ”
Zhang Yunan insisted, "I can't go far, you are wearing these shoes just right, just to see more of the scenery of the mainland." ”
Zhou Tianshen raised his head and looked at the doctor in front of him with strange eyes, the two hadn't seen each other for three years, Zhang Yunan was still wearing those eyes, his face was pale, but he was still very strong at that time, although he always looked sick.
In these days with him, he could feel that Zhang Yunan was a realm cultivator, and according to common sense, the lifespan of a realm cultivator was two hundred to four hundred years old, and even if he was suffering from lung disease, he would not die at such a young age.
Zhang Yunan looked at the young man's eyes and felt amused, "I mean, I promised your father to escort you to Zhongzhou, and after I go back, I will have to inherit Master's medical hall, and these shoes will be useless." ”
Zhou Tianshen quietly breathed a sigh of relief, put away the embroidered shoes, in Laohuai Village, Zhang Yunan's relationship with him was familiar, he didn't want to lose this old friend so soon.
Zhang Yunan lay on the chair, put his feet on the desk, and held the pharmacopoeia in his hand, it was rare to be so relaxed, "When are you going to go back to the village?"
I haven't thought about it, after all, I haven't left the village yet, so I haven't left home.
Zhou Tianshen replied, "Wait until you get to Xiancai Prefecture, by the way, is it good to get tickets for Changyu Street that day in Xiancai Prefecture? After walking through the sad mountain, I feel that the secret realm is different from other places, and I don't know what Changyu Street looks like?"
Zhang Yunan said lazily, "I once took Meng Ruhan to be, it is a street that sells things, it is very different from the sad mountain, if you really want to go, when you get to Xiancaizhou, I will help you get a few tokens of Baoguanmen, but you pay for it." ”
Zhou Tianshen nodded and said, "That's no problem." You say, how many secret realms are there on the mainland?"
Zhang Yunan began to flip through the pharmacopoeia, it turned out that it was really a book, turned to a certain page, and his slender fingers slid on the paper, "There are a total of ten secret realms in the Tianshou Continent, the sad mountain of the Zheng family in Cunzhou is one, and the Changyu Street in Xiancai Prefecture is one, but unfortunately, there are no He Ziyang and Fucao Yang, but there are two in Baiyang, Chang Xi River and Escape Dragon Palace, you can go and see it if you have the opportunity." ”
Zhou Tianshen wrote down these names, and he already had a plan in his heart, after graduating from Huang Zhao Academy, he would travel to the mainland, and when he had enough, he would go home.
Zhou Tianshen put down the book in his hand and took out the book "Five Paths of Cultivation" from his cunshou things, after several years of practice, he had already eaten most of the humane content in the book, and there were still a few pages left that he could not understand.
After nightfall, the morning light appears.
Zhou Tianshen and Zhang Yunan came down from the bamboo building very early, Ge Sanliang had already left the canal, and the Yuntou urn had landed, and many things needed to be solved by him.
led Zhang Yunan back to his courtyard and introduced him to Dao Wuxiang and the three of them, and after a few months, the three of them missed him a little.
The things had been packed, and the others had already gotten off the Yuntou urn and were waiting for him at He Ziyang's Ningxiao Pier.
The four of them didn't have much to do, only Zheng Xuan carried two spears on his back and a baggage, saying that he had exchanged it with a treasure hunter who came down from the mountain, and the man made it a sword, so he sold this green black spear to him, which was 50,000 taels of silver.
The Buddhist beads on Forgotten Chan's neck were put away by him, the bowl and the Buddhist scriptures were all in the baggage that Zheng He was carrying, and their identities could not be revealed for the time being, just in case, they made some disguises, which was also one of the main points of the escort mission.
Dao Wuxiang changed into a green shirt, with an extra paper fan in his hand, his hair was tied up high, his face was smeared with some fat powder, and there was a faint jasmine fragrance floating on his body, this dress reminded Zhou Tianshen of He Yu, he was also such a young man.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tianshen suddenly remembered one thing, and gave the broken sword in the bamboo basket to Dao Wuxiang, and said, "Last time I heard that you could use a sword, I wanted to buy one and give it to you, but I don't know what sword is the best, this sword was found in the mountain, although it is broken, but the traces of spiritual power on it are still very strong, it should be regarded as a good sword." ”
Zhou Tianshen directly omitted the battle with He Yu, Dao Wuxiang took the broken sword, waved it casually twice, and felt that he would put it away while he had it.
Zhang Yunan walked at the back of the team and said nothing.
Walking down the Yuntou urn, they found Li Menglan and others in front of a shop.
The shop is an ordinary inn, doing some tea business, the shop guy is very enthusiastic, Zhou Tianshen just walked into the door of the store, he was welcomed into the inn, Dao Wuxiang The four of them looked at each other, they didn't know what was going on, and then asked Li Menglan, they all looked like they didn't know.
They all wanted to go to the store to have a look, but they were stopped by the shopkeeper, saying that it was an order from the shopkeeper, and the rest of them were not allowed to enter except for the one just now.
Zhang Yunan found Ge Sanliang and wanted to ask what was going on, Ge Sanliang was counting the number of people and luggage with another steward.
In fact, he can't do these things at all, but the people who ride the Yuntou urn this time are a little unusual.
It is said that it is a major sect from Xiancai Prefecture, as for how big, the steward can't say clearly, but just because the other party has a Tiankan Realm powerhouse to lead the way, and there are two other Jizang Realm powerhouses as guards, it can be seen that they are not small.
At least there is no one in the village who can lead the way with a Heaven Realm powerhouse.
If you want to talk about the strong people in the Heavenly Realm, there are also them in Cunzhou, but most of them are the ancestors of those sects and families, or the worshippers and guests, and they are all easy not to go out, and they are never like this, leading a group of underage children to play in the mountains and rivers, and looking at the appearance of the Heavenly Realm powerhouse, he is still very young, no more than sixty years old at most.
Sixty-year-old Tiankan Realm, there is absolutely no one to be found in the estate.
At least he couldn't find it.
The Heavenly Realm powerhouse once reported to his family, saying that he was worshiped by the Tianyi Gate in Xiancai Prefecture, and the steward had never heard of any Tianyi Gate, but he only knew that he couldn't afford to provoke this person, and he couldn't afford to entertain him, so he looked for Ge Sanliang.
Ge Sanliang has been working in Yuntou Urn for nearly a hundred years, and has seen many people and things, although he does not have a too high cultivation realm, and the two-hundred-year-old age is only in the state of mind, but his vision is still one of the best.
At that moment, he agreed to the request of the Heavenly Realm powerhouse, that is, after they entered the Sadness Mountain, no one else was allowed to enter.
The steward stood behind, his face aggrieved, this was the first time he had heard such an impertinent request.
How to say that the sad mountain is also from the Zheng family, you said that if you don't let the family in, you can't enter, so what's the use of Ge Sanliang, the mountain guard, if it weren't for Ge Sanliang giving him a look, he would have refused a long time ago.
After Ge Sanliang completed the formalities for them, he asked the steward to lead them to the bamboo building of the canal and asked them to wait for him there.
was called over by Zhang Yun'an and listened to him explain things clearly, the old man recalled that the shopkeeper of this inn was originally a businessman from Zhongzhou, and he built such a small inn here because of his family's middle road.
Ge Sanliang used to like to drink two sips when he was fine, and when he came and went, he became friends with the shopkeeper.
However, this friend of his died twenty years ago, and now I don't know who he sold it to.
After saying this, the old man retired first, and he had to go to greet the previous group of guests.
After the old man left, the shopkeeper came out of the inn again, saying that the shopkeeper told them to rest on the second floor, and then called them out when the big reef ship came.
The inn is a small two-story building, and Zhou Tianshen is sitting in the small attic above the second floor, and the attic is just a pavilion made of wood, and he and Yu Xiaodu are sitting in the pavilion.
Yu Xiaodu held a wine jug in one hand and a chicken leg in the other, his mouth was full, pointed to a plate of peanuts, and muttered, "Eat, why don't you eat it." ”
General Zhou Tianshen ate two bites, took off the golden wine jug on his waist, drank two sips of wine, and asked, "What are you doing with me?"
Yu Xiaodu swallowed the food in his mouth, put down the wine jug, took out a package from under the table, opened the package, and inside was a brown paper map, the map was full of colorful lines, and various names were also marked on it, Zhou Tianshen saw that there were Baoguanmen, Changyu Street and Zhongzhou.
Yu Xiaodu handed the map to Zhou Tianshen and explained, "As soon as you solve the problem, I will wait for you here, I didn't expect you to come so slowly, but fortunately, I caught up, if it is a day late, you will not be able to take the big reef boat." As I said before, He Gluttony is your calamity, in fact, this is not what I said, it was calculated by another person, he just borrowed my mouth to convey this news to you, you don't care who this person is, with your current level, it is useless to find him, and the time for the opening of Huang Zhao Academy is getting closer and closer, you can't afford to delay. When you get out of this inn, you will go to Xiancai Prefecture with Zhang Yunan, and then go to Zhongzhou. Zhang Yunan has been to Huang Zhao Academy, he knows the way, you just have to follow him. By the way, I still have some wine money that I haven't come back, it's in Xiancaizhou, as for whether you help me get the money first, or go to Zhongzhou first, whatever you want. ”
Zhou Tianshen didn't take the map, nor did he drink, he looked at Yu Xiaodu's eyes, and Yu Xiaodu also looked at him, it was rare to be serious, but it was just for a moment, and the squinting young man smiled and said, "Just take it as a favor for me, and the money you want to come will be fifty-five cents." ”
Zhou Tianshen put away the map, picked up the wine jug, drank it all, and returned the golden wine jug to Yu Xiaodu, "When we meet again, you will give it to me." ”
As soon as he turned around, the squinting young man shouted his name and said cynically, "Zhou Tianshen, who knows what year the goodbye is, what if you take my money and run away?" I left a mark on it, if you don't come to me, I will go to you." ”
Zhou Tianshen stretched out his hand to pick up the wine jug thrown behind him, bowed his head and walked downstairs, "Let's go." ”
As soon as Zhou Tianshen left, an old man with a silver-white beard fell to the ground appeared out of thin air on the opposite side of Yu Xiaodu, and the old man had a dead branch stuck in his waist, which originally had ten leaves, but now there are only nine left, and one of them has begun to wither, and it won't last long.
Walking out of the inn, Zhang Yunan stood not far away, holding a tall horse in his hand.
It's the big feet that were taken away by the drunk.
Zhou Tianshen rubbed its neck, the big foot hummed comfortably, put the bamboo basket on the big instep, and Zhou Tianshen led it to the dock.
Zhang Yunan followed, "Don't you say hello to them?"
Zhou Tianshen stopped, didn't turn around, just returned the embroidered shoes to Zhang Yunan, "Doctor Zhang, how much do you know?"
Zhang Yunan didn't react for a while, walked up to Zhou Tianshen, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
Zhou Tianshen pouted, "Forget it, I don't think you will say, when will the ship arrive?"
Zhang Yunan looked up at the sun, "It should be two o'clock in the afternoon, and now it's almost eleven o'clock, do you want to take you around?"
Zhou Tianshen nodded.
He Ziyang has a total of two wharves, one is the one in front of him, named Ning School, which was built at the expense of Si Yuanguo, the scale is not large, but it is also crowded, the door is like a city, in addition to a dock, there are many shops, there are many antique shops, and there is a treasure pavilion branch, which is opposite the dock.
Entering the dock, the noise poured into my ears, and I didn't feel it when I stood outside, who knew that it would be so lively when I walked in.
In the middle of the pier is a long street paved with blue bricks, occasionally mixed with some blue-gray bricks.
Zhang Yunan introduced that this kind of stone brick is called blue gray spirit jade, which is a natural ore with a lot of value, which contains a high concentration of spiritual power, and is a mineral that is more valuable than Tianya stone.
Because the quantity is small, it is difficult to process, so it is rarely circulated in the world.
He only saw one piece at a friend's house, which cost fifty medium-grade Tianya Stones at that time, and the Refining Sect invited him to make a jade pendant, which was hung on the wall of the study.
Since then, the whole study has been full of spiritual power, and sitting in it, the spiritual power automatically operates in the body, which is very beneficial to cultivation.
There are three grades of blue-gray spiritual jade, one cyan, one gray, and one blue-gray, of which gray is the second, and blue-gray is the highest. In the blue-gray color, it is better to have more cyan and less gray.
The one at his friend's house is cyan, and it only belongs to the middle grade.
There are three pieces of this street, respectively at both ends of the street and in the middle, all of them are gray and less cyan inferior blue-gray spirit jade, but the size is large, how can a piece also cost ninety pieces of medium-grade Tianya stone, that is, eight hundred and ten thousand taels of silver, this money is not too much for a country, but if it is calculated for a long time, eight hundred and ten thousand taels a year, ten years is more than eight million taels, not less.
And this kind of thing has a price, not to mention that the village belongs to the remote area of the mainland, and the products are far less than Xiancai and Zhongzhou, and it is not easy to find three pieces.
After listening to Zhang Yunan's introduction, Zhou Tianshen simply didn't want to leave, if he stayed here all the time, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings for cultivation.
Zhang Yunan said with a smile, it is not wrong to say this, but compared to the cultivation holy land with abundant spiritual power, Laohuai Village is the real leader, not to mention the old locust tree in the center of the village, let's talk about the nameless mountain behind the village, the spiritual power there is definitely difficult to find in the whole continent that can match it, of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but it is not unfounded.
Take the cave beasts there as an example, if ordinary cave beasts want to cultivate into human form, it will take at least two hundred years, but the average age of the cave beasts in the Nameless Mountain is no more than two hundred years old, and some are even younger, most of them fluctuate around one hundred and fifty years old, a gap of fifty years, which is not something that can be made up by a simple talent.
Not to mention the strange treasures and strange realms there, it is not an exaggeration to call it a secret realm.
He'd seen a dryad transform into a human form, and it almost scared him to death.
Looking at the young man in the long shirt with his eyebrows fluttering, Zhou Tianshen scratched his head and couldn't help but ask, how did he know so much about it.
Zhang Yun'an, who has always been steady, mysteriously took out the pharmacopoeia from behind him, and said incomprehensibly, "This piece contains all the knowledge of the whole continent, and it is more detailed than the "Tianshou Diary". I don't know where my master found it, such an evil treasure, saying that it was not easy for me to go out alone, I was not familiar with life, and there was no one around to help me, so I gave it to me, so as not to lose his person in front of others. ”
Zhou Tianshen touched the surface of the pharmacopoeia, and could feel a countercurrent fluctuation flowing on it, thinking that it should be a manifestation of abundant spiritual power.
He took out the jade pendant that Yu Xiaodu gave him, which was also an inch-guarding object, but there was no sign of spiritual power circulating on it, and from the outside, it was really a very ordinary jade pendant.
While the two were talking, they came to the first antique shop on the dock, the name was very elegant, Qiuyue Xuan Jade.
At the entrance of the store stood a beautiful woman wearing a splendid cheongsam, mainly responsible for reception.
Seeing the two of them stop at the door of the store and walk towards the store, the woman pushed open the door of the store with understanding, and called a delicate woman who was younger than her and was wearing a cyan cheongsam.
The woman has a jade plaque on her chest, which says Yujin, which should be the name of a beautiful woman, and the name of a beautiful woman is Shui Xuan.
Shui Xuan took Yu Jin's place and stood outside the store with a moving smile.
This is the rule of Qiu Yuexuan, only when you recruit guests, you can enter the store, everyone can only stand outside the store after the previous person enters the store, sometimes when the business is poor, there is no customer, then the person outside the store needs to open the door in the morning to close at night, Yu Jin has this experience.
Yu Jin stood in the store and introduced the rules of Qiu Yuexuan to Zhou Tianshen and the others.
Qiu Yuexuan has always been famous for its high quality and low price, and most of them sell jade, but they will also buy some from cultivators.
Most of these acquired items will be sent to the Treasure Pavilion for auction, and a few will stay in the store to sell directly, if they feel that the price is unreasonable and prefer to go to the Treasure Pavilion for auction, Qiu Yuexuan can also help them introduce them to the Treasure Pavilion for free.
Qiuyuexuan only has the first floor, and it is also the most special store in Ningxiao Wharf, although there is only one floor, but Qiuyuexuan covers a large area.
The whole shop is divided into three parts, the first part mainly sells some small jade, such as bracelets and hairpins, and the second part is some of the precious porcelain needed by the family, high box bottles, among which there is a peacock flying southeast screen is the most precious, placed here for more than 30 years, no one has ever been able to buy it, either can't afford the price, or the buyer is not popular with the shopkeeper, and does not sell to him.
Speaking of shopkeepers, he is also a very interesting person.
As soon as he thought of this, Yu Jin was happy from the bottom of his heart, and he got a little carried away for a while, completely forgetting that there were still two guests standing in front of him, and only cared about holding his stomach and laughing.
Zhou Tianshen and Zhang Yunan looked at each other with innocent faces, thinking about whether to change their lives.
At this time, a tall man came out of the shop, the man was dressed in white and had short hair, which was a relatively rare hairstyle.
The man was holding a small teapot in one hand and two walnuts in the other, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he walked behind the woman who was bent over in two steps, and a chestnut knocked on her head, and tears of pain flowed out.
Yu Jin looked behind him painfully, saw the person clearly, quickly got up, made a thousand blessings, and said softly, "Shopkeeper." ”
The man in white gave her a cold look, and a 'um' came from his tall nose.
When the man walked out of the door, Yu Jin dared to straighten up, patted his chest, his tense body relaxed, and he dared to have a little weak legs, she apologized, "It is really Yu Jin's dereliction of duty to neglect the two guests, and I ask the guests to forgive me." ”
The two shook their heads and said it didn't matter.
Zhang Yunan asked, "The one just now is your shopkeeper, he looks very young, I remember that the two walnuts in his hand should be from Baoguanmen in Xiancai Prefecture, they belong to Baoguanmen, they are not for sale, could it be that your shopkeeper has something to do with Baoguanmen?"
Yu Jin secretly looked outside the store, the man had not gone far, he should be waiting for someone, looking left and right, she looked around again, and found that there was no one else, before she dared to whisper, "The shopkeeper rarely goes out, and I don't know him very well, but I heard other people who came earlier than me say that he is the youngest son of the former owner of Baoguanmen, and because he was dissatisfied with the old owner of the door to pass on the position of the owner to his eldest brother, he ran away from home and built such a small shop here." ”
This is not a topic that can be discussed by a person of her status, but I don't know what happened today, after seeing this long-shirted guest, my heart was pounding, and my head was still a little dizzy.
After inquiring about what he needed, Zhang Yunan did not hesitate to give Yu Jin a hush money.
Yu Jin enthusiastically brought the two to the second part, which was full of some large devices, and it was by no means the kind that the two of them could move away.
Looking at a room full of cabinets and bottles, as well as wood carvings, both of them were a little dazed.
This can't be blamed on Yujin, who let Zhang Yunan give a bit of a hush money, a full twenty taels of silver, which is their salary for nearly half a month, in fact, this can't be blamed on the shopkeeper slamming the door, only the business of the store has never been good.
And twenty taels is enough for her to live, she is a very easy person to satisfy, otherwise she would not come here to work.
Zhou Tianshen and Zhang Yunan browsed in the store at will, she followed silently, never disturbing the guests' viewing, she only introduced the guests' favorite items to the guests when they needed to speak.
Of course, the two of them didn't have the heart to buy anything, but after being in the store for so long, wouldn't it be bad not to buy anything.
The two of them pointed to the peacock southeast flying screen together, and said in unison, "How much is this?"
Yu Jin's face was embarrassed, this screen has always been the shopkeeper to communicate with those buyers, and she has no way to call the shots at this level, but fortunately, the embarrassing atmosphere did not last long.
The shopkeeper has returned from outside.
Yu Jin took two steps back respectfully, put his hands on his abdomen, his body was straight, the man didn't look at her, handed her the teapot in his hand, and said coldly, "Change one." ”
Yu Jin bowed his head and withdrew from the room, leaving only the cold and solemn Qiu Yuexuan shopkeeper, Zhou Tianshen with a golden wine jug hanging from his waist, and Zhang Yunan holding a pharmacopoeia in his hand.
The shopkeeper walked up to the two of them, his fingers rubbing against the edge of the screen, and the ripples on his fingers appeared, and the screen was actually protected by the magic circle.
The man said, "In Xia Liu Can't, Yu Jin must have told you everything about me, that's right, I am the younger brother of the current owner of Baoguanmen, and this screen is one of the ten treasures of our Baoguanmen, and the peacock flies south." Both of them should have seen the world, and they should be able to see that this screen is protected by the magic circle. I was in a hurry to go out, and I didn't know how to unlock the circle without destroying the screen. If you can untie it, I can give you the screen. ”
Liu Bu looked at the peacock in the screen, his eyes full of longing.
Zhou Tianshen took a step back, he was not interested in buying this screen.
Zhang Yunan showed some concern from the beginning, and his eyes looking at the peacock were the same as Liu Bu's, but he didn't hide it well from Liu Bu.
Liu Bu had already turned around, seeing the eagerness in Zhang Yunan's eyes, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and behind his hands, a spike appeared in his palm, "Since this guest is interested, why don't you come first." ”
Zhang Yunan is also a visionary, and decided to leave immediately.
Walking out of Qiuyuexuan, Liu Bu actually went out to send off customers in a rare way, which made Shui Xuan, who was standing outside the store, feel incredible, but she didn't ask much.
I couldn't see the two of them for a long time, so Liu Bucai returned to the store, stood in front of the screen, and sighed slightly.
The second place Zhou Tianshen and Zhang Yunan went to was a snack bar.
The shop is small, and customers can only stand outside and wait.
The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man, the middle-aged man has gray temples, and he already has age spots on his face, and he looks very old, but the work on his hands has not fallen at all.
I saw that he was very skillful in bringing the meatballs out of the oil pot, sprinkling chopped green onions and soy sauce, mixing gently, and handing them to the guests.
The things sold in the store are very simple, only fried meatballs, Zhou Tianshen and Zhang Yunan each ordered one, and bought a pot of wine by the way.
Zhou Tianshen was a little tired of drinking the wine brewed by Xiaodu, so he wanted to drink something else, but Zhang Yunan didn't drink for too long.
The two drank wine, ate croquettes, and chatted with the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper is a native of Si Rong country, surnamed Zhao, and the lord of Si Rong country has the same surname.
He didn't say this, only said that his wife died three years ago, and that a daughter in the family also got married last year, and as soon as his daughter left, the whole house was empty, and he was uncomfortable, so he spent money to rent such a small shop to sell something, and looked at the people coming and going, which was very good.
Zhang Yunan wanted to give the shopkeeper a drink, but he politely refused, saying that he had quit a long time ago.
After eating, when he was checking out, Zhang Yunan saw a large cocoon at the boss's tiger's mouth, which he said was left over from his previous work.
The two didn't care.
By the way, I asked the shopkeeper about the situation of the shop in front, and there was about a bookstore, a teahouse, and a fish shop in front of it.
The two decided to wait until they were done with the shops and then go to the dock to buy tickets.
The bookstore was very close to the shop where the meatballs were fought, only a few steps away, and the bookstore was not very large, except for a young man sitting behind a desk with thick glasses on his face and a copy of "Talking about Harmony" in his hand.
Zhou Tianshen had already read the book, and when he walked into the store, there were four bookshelves on the wall, mostly novels describing the love between men and women.
It tells the story of the love between the dead and the monks.
Although it is also a love novel, the rhythm in it is weird, and the story is mainly terrifying, so it doesn't look so unappetizing.
Zhang Yunan didn't go to turn the book, but chatted with the young man.
The conversation is more boring than a romance novel.
"Have you eaten?"
"Well, the old Zhao family's fried meatballs. ”
"I ate it too, it's pretty good, did you drink his wine?"
"No, I don't like to drink. ”
"Me too, how did you promise last time?"
The young man did not reply immediately, but sped up the action of turning the book, Zhang Yunan knew that as soon as he was nervous, he would turn the book hard, and he would...
"Where did I just look?"
"This. ”
Zhang Yunan pointed to a certain line, his fingers lightly pressed the words, and crossed the book, and the young man's eyes followed his fingers.
"Don't hesitate, if you don't agree with me again, I'll go find the next house, anyway, it's not that no one is unwilling to do it, I tell you, if you can't pay his money, he can break your hand, and then throw it into the ocean, you know?"
"I know, I didn't say I wouldn't agree to you, but I have such a big family business, I can't just leave it here and ignore it. How can you ask me to explain to our ancestors and ancestors? ”
"Then just bring all the ancestors, anyway, I'll give you a promise, wait for me to come to you next time, if you don't come with me, I will directly throw you into the sea to feed the fish." ”
"He Ziyang has long run out of fish. ”
Zhou Tianshen has already selected a book, in addition to the Zhiwei novel "Ghost Chamber", there is also a geography book "Feet Walk in All Directions" and the love novel "To You".
The young man put the books together, picked up the geography book, flipped through it casually, and said expressionlessly, "The book written by my father is not bad." ”
Zhang Yunan snatched the book and suddenly realized, "This is the one you said, your father copied half of the book of "Tianshou Diary", let me take a look... , brilliant writing. ”
The young man took the book and put it under the other two, "You said that you copied other people's books, if you can't write it well, then don't write it at all, and commit suicide by jumping into the sea." ”
At this time, Zhou Tianshen asked thoughtlessly, "Where is your father?"
The young man's movements were noticeably stagnant, and then he quickly resumed his movements, "In two days it will be his first seven." ”
"For the sake of being Zhang Yunan's friend, I will give you a discount, a total of one or two taels of silver, and give ten cents. ”
Zhou Tianshen was a little at a loss, one or two taels of silver can be exchanged for 1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan to 10 yuan, how much discount is this.
His brain was a little underwhelmed.
After taking the book, the two walked out of the bookstore together, and Zhou Tianshen asked, "You know, so why does he still charge me?"
Zhang Yunan stretched his waist, "Sort of, I've met a few times, and I have a half-familiar face." ”
Zhou Tianshen put the book into the cunshou object, "Do you have something to do with him?"
Zhang Yunan twisted his neck and made a rattling sound, "I want to find him to go to Tianxiang County to sit, anyway, he doesn't have any guests here, so he can accompany me." ”
Zhou Tianshen stopped talking, and the two soon came to a teahouse called 'Liuxiang'.
The two stood outside the teahouse and saw a storyteller with a face like a crown of jade in the teahouse.
The storyteller was different from the others, seeing him holding the frontispiece, bowing his head and reciting the story in the book, shaking his head, the pink hairband on his head swaying, touching the hearts of every girl in the seat.
After reading the story in the book, the storyteller raised his head, and there was already a sea of people in front of him.
I saw that he didn't panic and picked up the teapot, took a sip first, and then washed his hands with the rest of the tea, and then shook his hands, the water droplets were suspended in the air, transforming into crystal clear whales, and then with a wave of his sleeves, most of the whales broke into water droplets, and gathered again into big ships.
The storyteller controls flocks of whales with one hand and a warlike fleet with the other.
The two fought in front of everyone's eyes.
Soon a group of people came outside the teahouse, all of whom missed the opportunity because they didn't make it in time for the teahouse to open, and had to stand outside to watch the battle inside.
The group of people standing outside the teahouse all opened their eyes wide, stood on tiptoe, and the crowd was crowded, and soon squeezed Zhou Tianshen and Zhang Yunan out.
Zhang Yunan looked at the sun, pondered the time to start the boat, and proposed to Zhou Tianshen to go to the fish seller in front of him first, maybe he could also buy a few cute small fish to raise, which could be regarded as having some fun for the boring boat time.
Zhou Tianshen has always had no requirements for these extraneous matters, so he didn't care about following Zhang Yunan to a roadside stall not far in front.
The owner of the fish stall was a young man dressed in coarse cloth clothes with a strong smell of fish.
The young man's face was dark, and there was a significant scar on his forehead, which should have been accidentally injured while fishing.
The business of the fish stall was not very prosperous, and the young stall owner did not seem to be very interested in business, so in a short time, there were two groups of customers who were angry with him.
The reason why the customers left in anger was simply because the stall owners were unwilling to help them get the fish out of the tank.
The small fish were held in a large green tank, and there was a mark on the rim of the tank that looked like water ripples.
The two waited until the young man was angry again, and then walked forward slowly, it was still Zhang Yunan who was dealing with people, and he asked, "Boss, how do you sell this fish?"
The young stall owner sat on a small chair, did not look up, pointed to the two flags behind him, the left one read, 'Teach people to fish', and the right one read, 'It is better to teach people to fish', and only after Zhang Yunan finished reading these two sentences, did the young stall owner raise his head and said, "One catty and one tael." ”
The young stall owner handed Zhang Yunan and Zhou Tianshen a small fishing net, which was tied to a green bamboo, about ten fingers long, and he also had one in his hand.
"Look at how I do it, I'll just demonstrate it once. ”
After saying this, the young stall owner practiced the meditation of closing his mouth, and did not pop out of his mouth again.
