Chapter 13: Buying Meat

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Assyria's embarrassed appearance, and unconsciously laughed out loud, "He~he, hahaha, Assyria are you going to Xiangshan Temple to be a monk?"

"Master, your trick just now is simply amazing! Can you teach me, just now it was like a flash of lightning, and half of my hair was gone, and I was stunned all of a sudden. ”

"You said I just now~"

"Yes, Master Jiang, you are the real master, hidden deeply. You can go to the temple to be the master of the altar, so that if you order it twice, won't they all become bald, hahaha. Assyria picked up the bowl on the floor, touched half of his bare head, and laughed.

Jiang Xiaobai stood up and looked at the ten fingers of his hands in surprise, which were unchanged from usual, hey, it could be an illusion, an illusion, he rubbed his eyes, and then smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Assyria, pack up and sleep. ”

So saying, he blew out the candles from the candlesticks, and motioned for Assyria to sleep in the next room, and he fell asleep. The courtyard, as usual, soon fell silent.

In the early morning, when the sun shone on the windowsill, Assyria woke up from a sweet dream of exchanging glasses with Xiangjun, but it was not the sun that woke him, but the sound of a banging at the door.

"Jiang Xiaobai, Jiang Xiaobai, hurry up, you are not sleeping with the girl from Qi Dong next door, what else do you sleep, open the door, open the door. ”

Assyria got up very reluctantly, opened the door, and saw that it was Tian An, the boy who owed yesterday, "Why are you here, you woke me up to sleep." "When I open the door, I turn around and go into the room.

Tian An found that Assyria was the only one there, and he was a little disappointed.

"Assyria, you don't wake up when you sleep, Jiang Xiaobai's kid must have something to do, and he will go out early in the morning! You can't see the horse, you must have locked the door before going out, and then went out from the courtyard wall. It can be said that Tian An has a clear understanding of Jiang Xiaobai's behavior.

"So what, hey, I still want to get some sleep. Assyria rubbed his eyes impatiently.

"What do you sleep on, pigs sleep fat, people sleep moldy, it turns out that your kid was cheated out of money by the girls of Sauce Zinu, it turns out that it is the reason for gluttony and sleep, do you know where Jiang Xiaobai's kid went?"

"I don't know, what kind of are you looking for him. Assyria finally replied with some unceremonious feelings.

"Count, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, I'm going to leave Sun Town today, you tell Jiang Xiaobai, anyone who comes to buy silk rabbits, don't sell them, leave Sun Town if you have the chance, the farther away the better, I'll go!" Tian An looked at the familiar dilapidated courtyard, a little reluctant in his heart, and suddenly saw five small wooden figures standing on the low table, and a smile immediately bloomed on his face.

"I said that my little white brother still attaches great importance to love and righteousness, you see how much this little wooden man does like me, you tell the little white brother, I accepted the gift, you remember my words, you must tell the little white brother word for word. After speaking, Tian An picked up a small wooden figure on the table, turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate, flying towards Qingyun Lane.

"God Shinto, there is no one in this Sun Town who is normal. Associates shook his head, turned and walked into the room, continuing to sleep in his lap.

In the early morning, the sound of the vendors makes the rice market dam even more lively, and the pig killer Uncle Zheng has already divided the two flat pork into small pieces, hung them evenly on the pork stall, sat on the long bench, leisurely smoked dry tobacco, and waited for the seller who came to the door. Today is the day of the market, the meat may be sold out early, yesterday Jiang Xiaobai's kid had a stinky mouth, and half of the pork was not sold, and he was counted down by his wife when he got home.

Granny Cai carried a vegetable basket and a cane, slowly walked to the butcher stall of Zheng Butcher, looked at the hanging pork, trembled and asked softly, "Buy meat." ”

Zheng Butcher raised his head, looked at the old woman standing in front of him, and was a little stunned, "Mother-in-law, how much do you want to buy?"

"The lean meat is three, two, three, the fat is six, two, six, and the stick bone is nine, two, nine. The mother-in-law still replied so softly and casually.

Hearing this, Zheng Tuhu stood up violently, his eyes were full of horror, looked back left and right, and whispered: "Mother-in-law, you are actually ......"

"Zheng Tuo, you have been here for three thousand years, and you still can't change that boring character, so at best, it's just a very different place for the earth immortals, the trip to the avenue, you are not shocked, and you are still the same as before, I don't know how the mother chose you, hum!"

Zheng Butcher habitually touched his bald head, and laughed with a smile, "Mother-in-law teaches me that it's just my mother-in-law, the deadline has not yet come, and my mother-in-law is ~~"

"The day of the limit is not only the day of the opening of the seal, but also the day of the catastrophe, there are some things you still don't know as well, remember, after six days, kill 300 pigs, and give each household in the town three taels of pork. If you are mistaken, Zheng Tuo, I am afraid that your cultivation path will be even more difficult. ”

The mother-in-law reminded that the villain must follow the mother's decree and do things well. Zheng Tuo was resigned, not daring to look up at Granny Cai in front of him.

"This heaven and earth, in the future, there will be the same as three thousand years ago, I don't know how many immortals and heroes, why luck, chance to come here to do the unjust death of the ghost, then Fengdu Difu can be lively to see, old man Zhong has to be busy to death, hehehe. When the mother-in-law said this, she gloated a little.

"Mother-in-law, what you want, lean meat three, two, three, fat, six, two, six, stick, bone, nine, two, nine, mother-in-law, take it. Granny Cai picked up the pork and cob bones tied with string, and her face changed.

"Bastard, why is there less than half a penny, three thousand years of cultivation is actually child's play, it's just that, take it out. ”

"Mother-in-law is angry, Zheng Tuo knows that he is wrong. As she spoke, she took out a thin slice of meat from under the board and handed it to Granny Cai, who carefully put the pork and the cob bones into the bamboo basket along with the thin slices of meat.

"You've been guarding this place for many years, and it's hard work, so take it. With that, Granny Cai dropped a few copper coins and left the pork stall with her unsteady steps.

Zheng Butcher kept watching his mother-in-law's back disappear at the end of the alley, a little disappointed and a little happy. Hey, finally completed the mission, you can give the decree to the mother, casually put a few copper coins on the board into his hand, held it in his hand and counted, a total of twelve, he shook his head, ready to put the copper coins into the brocade bag.

At this time, Zheng Tuo's hand naturally appeared red, he opened his hand, and the twelve copper coins were lined up in the palm of his hand into a "Dao" character, glowing red, like glass.

Zheng Tuo burst into tears, "Mother-in-law, if I, Zheng Tuo, can prove the Immortal Dao, you will be my reborn parents, this is a full twelve skyscraper money, just one can buy a famous mountain and river for cultivation." The stout man was overjoyed and wept with joy.

The sun has risen, on the bank of the Duck River in the west of the city, but it is a busy scene, just on the edge of this delta platform, two young people from Gongguo Lane, are carrying a thick log, put it on the wooden frame, pulling a long saw, today's construction site of the village school looks particularly lively.

Before dawn this morning, the senior brother Xie Shishi went to Jiang Xiaobai's house to wake up Jiang Xiaobai, who was still asleep, and said that the son of the Lu family in Qingyun Lane was going to build a township school by the Yazi River, and he wanted to recruit a large number of craftsmen, and the wages for good craftsmanship were doubled.

Although the craftsmen in the town do not know how to return to the township, I heard that the salary given by the son of the Lu family is twice that of the rest of the town, as long as the craftsmanship is good, hard-working, how much to do, it is said that it must be repaired after seven days, the craftsmen want to be idle or idle after the Shangyuan Festival anyway, and they can also earn some money when they go to the construction site, and subsidize the family. This morning, basically all the craftsmen in the town gathered by the duck river, to say that this young Mr. Lu is worthy of being a Confucian student who has studied for 12 years, he is very benevolent and righteous, not to mention the wages for work, and he also manages two meals a day.

The construction of this project is not only for ordinary craftsmen Mr. Lu, but also for strong women, as long as they are willing to work, they still want it on the construction site, and they still need to take care of the food.

Jiang Xiaobai looked up, there were at least two thousand people working on this construction site, and the young man wiped the sweat on his face, "Senior brother, this son of the Lu family is really benevolent and righteous, how much does it cost to take the money out to repair the private school!"

"I don't know how much it will cost, I heard that the four families of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen have all contributed money, so that the children in the town can have books to read, how to say it is also a good thing. ”

Xie Shishi looked up at the sky, a thin mist shrouded the sky over the town, and the afterglow of the sun shone on the faces of the two teenagers who were working hard, and they suddenly felt refreshed, and the two teenagers began to pull up the saw again.

Yan Qingqing led the thin red horse to a secluded place by the river, and let the horse go to find the grass for a feast by herself, and the girl sat on a big bluestone and ate the pastry wrapped in an embroidered towel, and the girl tasted it slowly, immersed in her own world.

While eating, he muttered in his mouth, "Dead sister-in-law, I said okay, the little wooden man I made today was forgotten, it seems that he has to be remembered for a long time." ”

The girl looked up at the sky casually, "Why is it foggy every day during this time, grandpa said that something big will happen in this town, hey, no big thing is important to a bean bag." As he spoke, he put a bean bag in his mouth, tasted it carefully, and nodded incessantly.

However, when she looked at the sky again the next moment, the fog in the sky had disappeared, and the sun had disappeared, and the sky suddenly darkened, but the houses and mountains were still faintly visible.

The thin red horse grazing by the river also neighed, ran to Yan Qingqing, sat next to Yan Qingqing, and looked up at the sky like Yan Qingqing, as if he had spirituality.

The world of the town, except for the busy township school construction workshop and the Nuwa Niangniang Temple, all of them were darkened, Yan Qingqing was not panicked, just hugged the thin red horse tightly, and quietly waited for the sun to come out again.

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder ran in the sky, and it was strange and abnormal. Lightning pierced the sky, and under the glow of lightning, there seemed to be countless immortals flying above the top of the clouds, waving all kinds of weapons, as if the heavenly soldiers were fighting.
