Chapter 72: Easy Points
The early summer has passed, the wind blowing from the Luohe River has a dry feeling, summer is the most difficult season, the cold can be added to the clothes to keep the fire warm, but in the face of the heat, then you can only shake the fan crazily.
On the day of the summer solstice, I sent my parents' spirit card to Dongtuo Temple early, and by the way, I sent some rice noodles to the temple, which was counted as a thank you to the little monk who was not stupid.
When I came back, I saw a young man in tattered clothes and suona hanging on his body wandering back and forth in Taoliu Lane, a pair of sneaky eyes have been snooping in front of various courtyards, like a thief who stepped on the spot in advance for stealing chickens and dogs.
The young man in rags carried a sheepskin rucksack behind him, looking at the bulging shape, there should be a lot of stuff stuffed in it, seeing that the man was walking with difficulty, and the weight of the things in the rucksack was not light.
Maybe there were too many objects on his body, so he simply sat under the crooked neck willow tree, rubbed his back against the rough bark, and then took off the suona, erhu, and long flute from his body.
"Old and young masters, brothers, I went down the mountain for the first time, and my body was exhausted, and those who have trouble have money to hold a money field, and those who have no money have a personal field, I will give you a trumpet performance!"
Luoyang is the new capital, this place is strictly managed, no more than a remote county, beggars only give begging to wander outside the city, they are not allowed to enter the city on weekdays, and the lower ninth-rate artists who walk the rivers and lakes also have to pay the tax currency to the government to perform on the designated streets, so the tattered young man just shouted, which caused an uproar outside the alley.
As soon as the morning market opened, the shops on the street opened one after another, and the servants in the rich gentry's mansions in the surrounding alleys were all purchasing items on the street.
After a glance, everyone showed disdain to work on their own, leaving the young man in ragged clothes alone under the tree.
"In addition to trumpets, suona, gongs and drums, I can play any musical instrument, pass by, don't miss it!"
Obviously, no matter how much the young man boasted about himself, the people around him were still unmoved.
At this time, a big man sneered: "Do you pay attention to begging now?" I've never seen such a comical way of begging, and I look at the poodles that noblewomen like to raise! ”
As soon as this remark came out, it instantly caused the surrounding vendors to laugh.
Fiddling with the various musical instruments hanging on his body, the young man stroked his hair, showed a charming smile and said: "When I was practicing on the mountain, the brothers and sisters said that the rice bowl under the mountain was not good, but fortunately, I know everything, a good book, why don't you give you money for dinner, and I will give you a smile?" ”
"If you smile at me, I'll have to pay for it, think about money and go crazy!"
In the face of ridicule, the young man in rags did not show weakness: "People have no windfall and no wealth, horses have no night grass and no fat, look at your appearance, your head is big and your neck is thick, you are not a rich man, you must be a man in a big family." ”
Dahan said: "What's the matter, you changed your fortune telling again?" ”
"I know divination, fortune-telling is a masterpiece, if the horn and suona sound in unison, you will not be able to walk painfully."
The big man was furious, and he stretched out his fist and wanted to hit someone: "Boy, you dare to curse your grandfather!" ”
The tattered young man's face was fearless, and his face looked a little weak from hunger, but his momentum was still like his sharp mouth, and he was very angry: "Not only are you not kind, but you are not virtuous, I see that you will be beaten to death sooner or later, my suona is blown to the extreme, I don't believe you lie down, and I promise to blow the whole street to wipe your tears for you." ”
Skillfully dodging the heavy punch of the big man, the tattered young man shouted loudly: "Old and young masters, when you first arrive, your skills will not be shown one by one, and in the future, where there is a funeral and marriage in your brother's family, regardless of the white thing, sheng xiao, suona, gongs and drums, and filial piety crying, the kind that is particularly sensational, or the wedding coal wedding sedan chair singing, accompanying wine, laughing, chatting, I should all go down together, the service package is satisfactory to you, my stunt is only what you can't think of, no more will not!" ”
The big man who was hit back by the young man's words was about to swing his fist again, and the young man in tattered clothes flashed, and his figure skillfully crossed behind the big man, and put a copper bowl on the street like a trick.
"Don't rush to do it yet!"
The big man was stunned for a moment, and his face was as angry as pig's liver: "No matter what tricks you want to play, eat me twice and I'll spare you a cheap life!" ”
Qing, who was sitting on the ground, slammed the copper bowl placed in the middle of the street, and shouted with the last strength of his body: "Come, come, come...... Come and see, this stupid pig said that he was going to beat me, buy what I won and put the money in the bowl, buy the one he won and put the money on the ground, whoever is beaten to death today deserves it! ”
The big man who was scolded for being a stupid pig panicked at this time, and the vendors in the surrounding stalls were also dumbfounded.
No one threw a copper plate for a long time, the young man stood up boredly, and put his face in front of the big man: "Use your big fist to hit here, don't worry about greeting boldly, you can rest assured that I won't make you a slave for three generations, and I won't rely on you to be as sticky as a dog skin plaster." ”
Seeing that no one bet on the people rushing to the morning market around, the young man in rags had to beat his chest: "You don't cooperate, how can the master mix up today, and you have to throw copper plates to reward money for the free show, why are the people of the Eastern Capital so picky!" ”
Seeing that this person didn't know how to be afraid, Dahan instantly felt that there was something wrong with the young man's brain, and he didn't care about Fang Cai's verbal war, scolded "neurosis", and left consciously disappointed.
I looked at this man on the street for a while, and I wanted to avoid him, but the six-foot alleyway was the closest road to the courtyard, so I had to walk head-on, and he was blocked at the intersection of the street and the alley.
Just as I quickened my pace to avoid this person, the man froze and spoke a little inappropriately: "Brother, can you enjoy a meal or give a drink?" ”
I wanted to take a detour to avoid this person, but he continued to plead with a face: "You can also see, now that I want to eat and live, it is even more tiring than practicing in the mountains. ”
At first, I was a little worried that this man had bad intentions, and listening to his tone and depressed appearance was somewhat similar to the situation when I first came to Luoyang, when I was walking on the street, and what I longed for most was to stutter.
Perhaps because of a sense of empathy, I still felt a little compassion.
Although the young man in rags looked a little down, his face was as clean as a little white face, especially those eyes, which looked very bright.
I took out a few copper coins from my body, and it was barely enough to buy two pieces of bread, so I handed them directly to the young man and said, "Hurry up and buy some food." ”
The young man took the copper coin, put it in his pocket, and squeezed out a grateful smile at me that was more ugly than crying.
"I'm not a beggar, I can't get your money for nothing, or I won't insult the teacher's teachings."
As he spoke, the young man took off the suona hanging on his body, and when he opened his mouth, he blew me a song of a hundred birds and a phoenix.
Maybe he was so hungry that he was so hungry that his suona blew harrier than the rooster's cry, and almost sent me away.
I clogged my ears and begged him to stop blowing, if this sound continued, I don't know what kind of bloody wind would be set off in Taoliu Lane.
Seeing that I was indeed a little offended when I heard it, the tattered young man put down his suona and apologized to me and hugged his fists, and then Man Han said gratefully: "Don't thank you for your great kindness, when I find my uncle, I will repay my brother twice!" ”
"No need!" When I politely refused, I asked curiously: "You came to Dongdu to find someone?" ”
Nodding weakly, the young man reported to his family and said, "Go down to Wanying Luojia Mountain again!" Wandering the rivers and lakes, you have to understand a little bit of everything, because my surname happens to be Yi, so it's called Yidiandian! ”
I thought to myself what kind of bullshit logic this was, and I didn't take his explanation seriously, but I was still surprised when he explained his origins.
"Ten Thousand Cherry Blossoms Luojia Mountain?" I was stunned, but fortunately I had strong self-control and didn't act so exaggerated.
Seeing that I looked at him with a strange look, he showed the suona in his hand, patted the backpack behind him and said: "Walking the world, drums, sheng, pipa, and suona must always know a little bit, so as not to go to the street to beg for food when the bag is shy, and the price will be dropped." ”
I saw that this person was talking a little interesting, and he was from Luojia Mountain, so I asked tentatively: "I take the liberty of asking, who is the surname of the uncle you are looking for?" ”
"Who else can use a sword and mud to deter the most holy Gou Xunhuan of Confucianism and Taoism, that is our third young master of Luojia Mountain, my uncle!"
Looking at his pride and pride, and his expression full of a sense of belonging to Luojia Mountain, he shouldn't be lying.
In order to prevent this ragged young man from changing his methods to find unpleasant Jianghu warlocks, out of caution and safety considerations, I asked softly, "What evidence is there to prove that you are a disciple of Luojia Mountain?" ”
The young man lifted his right arm, revealing the cherry blossom brand on the back of his hand, and pointed to the red wax stone engraved with the word "Tian" on his neck: "Oh, do you see, I am a disciple of the Tianzi generation, this is the best proof!" ”
The disciples of Luojia Mountain have four generations: heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang, and according to the order of generations, the "heaven" character is the head, and they have the highest status in the sect.
"I secretly went down the mountain this time, specifically looking for my uncle, I heard that he Luoyang, a sword back to the former peak, I went all the way from Jiangbei."
The identity of the young man in rags was confirmed, and I dared to tell him the truth: "Who are you looking for...... I know where. ”
The young man excitedly took my hand, and my arm was pulled so hard that it hurt.
"Really?"
"He's in Taoliu Lane, we call him Dog!"
As soon as Yi Diandian heard that I knew the whereabouts of the dog master, he immediately cheered up, and after a long period of busy work, he enthusiastically packed up the musical instruments placed on the ground and the copper bowl in the middle of the street.
"Take me to him!"
Yi Diandian carefully hugged the suona in his hand, reversed the backpack behind him, walked with a loud noise, and pushed me to quickly lead him to find the dog.
I was dragged by Yi Diandian, leaning forward involuntarily, and almost fell and ate several times.
When he walked to the end of the alley, Yi Diandian was full of joy and asked, "Is my uncle's dog still there?" ”
"Rhubarb, you say?"
Yi Dian's bright eyes flickered and nodded: "Well, when he left Luojia Mountain with his uncle, he was still a freshly weaned little milk dog, and now he should be vigorous and strong, right?" ”
I really don't know how to describe Rhubarb's appearance, but I'll go to the small courtyard where we live later, and all the curiosities about him will be lifted at once.
