Chapter 15 The carpenter is also a man
Ji Ri, who had removed his disguise, put a towel around his head, took out a handful of black ash and smeared it on his face, pretending to be a porter, and preparing to sneak out of the city. The whereabouts of Ji Ri were not found for several days, and the house slaves were beaten and scolded by Gan Lianglian, and they all complained bitterly.
Just after being scolded today, the house slaves were guarding in the tea shed outside the city, and there was no place to spill their grievances, and they happened to see the auspicious day out of the city. The appearance of an honest coolie was so suitable for anger, and he let a house slave go over to touch porcelain at that time.
Seeing the Ganfu slave walking towards him with a malicious expression on his face, Ji Ri began to get nervous, and he thought that he had been discovered. There were still two steps away from the auspicious day, and the house slave pretended to stagger and pounced on the auspicious day, but he didn't expect the other party to be prepared, and he dodged with a cat's waist.
The house slave didn't stand firm, and fell directly into the mud. When other people saw that the anger was even greater, they originally wanted to vent their anger casually, but they turned out to be so ugly, is this okay?
"Boy, you can't help anyone, and watch my brother fall? Forgive me for not being a good thing, call me! β
The house slave led by him didn't finish speaking, and Ji Ri ran away. Although the four or five house slaves do evil on weekdays, they all follow Gan Liang to bully and dominate the market, and a pair of good legs and feet have long been wasted. And the cattle that have been herded for ten years on auspicious days compete with it every day, which is not something that ordinary people can catch at all.
"What kind of eyes does this slave have, I almost sang a song of Xintianyou, and you can still recognize me?" Ji Ri didn't expect that the house slave was just looking for a punching bag, and he couldn't help but worry about his situation, and recorded this account on Gan Liang's head again.
"No matter what it is, go and get the Guan Gong statue done first, there is a way to enter the city!"
Seeing that the house slaves did not catch up, Ji Ri slowly slowed down, but still walked fast, unwilling to delay any longer. When he came to Zhu Tianqi's house, he shouted before he entered the door: "Uncle Zhu, has the statue of Guan Gong been carved?" β
Zhu Tianqi looked at Ji Ri suspiciously, and said, "What do you have to do with that storyteller, why did you ask me to carve this guy on the front foot, and the city on the back foot began to talk about Guan Gong's book?" β
Ji Ri smiled and said: "Actually, I know the storyteller, he told me the story of Guan Gong when he was herding cattle, and I should play with it, he also walked more places, and slowly made it up." β
"You kid, isn't it a little too naΓ―ve to want to revenge your father and mother with a wooden man? The people of that city are all knowledgeable, and they can't be frightened by moving out a statue of a god! Zhu Tianqi shook his head, and led the auspicious day to a cool place, and the statue of Guan Gong stood impressively in front of him.
"That's because you don't know how well I tell the story!" Ji Ri scolded a sentence, and began to look at the statue of Guan Gong in front of him. I have to say that Zhu Tianqi's craftsmanship is indeed miraculous, and he only had a few words at the time, and he carved out seven or eight points of resemblance.
After taking the statue of Guan Gong, Ji Ri dipped his fingernails in a little ink, and drew a few strokes on the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and Guan Gong's beard, asking Zhu Tianqi to change the knife. Following the line drawn by Ji Ri, Zhu Tianqi said while holding a file and planing: "What's wrong with your mother, can you go to the ground?" β
"It should be fine, at least it's okay to eat." Ji Ri was a little unsure, he didn't dare to stay in the hospital for more in order to hide people's eyes, but his mother was able to eat and drink normally, and Lu Qingzhou would definitely not let her injury worsen.
Zhu Tianqi stopped what he was doing, looked at Ji Ri with some surprise, and asked, "What should you say?" Didn't you stay by your mother's side and serve her? β
Ji Ri didn't know how to speak, he had to face the county order, if he told Zhu Tianqi, what could he do as a carpenter? But seeing Zhu Tianqi's expression of "you'd better give me a reasonable explanation", I'm afraid it won't be possible if I don't explain something.
The corners of Ji Ri's mouth were bitter, and he said: "It was Gan Liang, the younger brother of the county order, who smashed my shop and injured my mother, who hid in the city before and only dared to go to the hospital to see my mother in disguise, and was almost caught by the slaves of Ganfu when he left the city, and now he is difficult to protect, how to take care of my mother!" β
"That person will definitely block you on the road, how can you go back later?" Zhu Tianqi didn't expect that Ji Ri would be a member of the county order family, and he suddenly had no idea.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and since you can get out, there is always a way back. Let's carve out the second master first, he is my way. Ji Ri didn't have an idea for a while, but he didn't want Zhu Tianqi to worry, so he pretended to sell it.
Picking up the file, Zhu Tianqi began to carefully plane the carvings again, and even thinned the blade of the knife to draw out a coiled green dragon. Guan Gong's charm has a knife and a beautiful beard, even if there is a slight difference in other places, it is harmless. Ji Ri looked at it carefully for a while, and felt that there was no big problem, so he took it and prepared to return to Mustawa City.
Zhu Tianqi stopped Ji Ri and said: "You can't do this, even if Guan Gong is like him, no matter how majestic he is, he will be deflated by your waist." I promised you before that I would carry it in a sedan chair, so let me do it. β
Zhu Tianqi's words moved Ji Ri, this carpenter is really helping himself, Gan Liang was he who helped him open a shop before, and then he didn't even want to be paid, and silently supported himself to continue. If it weren't for the fact that he knew that he had crossed over when he opened his eyes, and his mother had little contact with Zhu Tianqi, Ji Ri really doubted what his surname should be.
After a while, Zhu Tianqi came out of the house and gave Ji Ri a dress, dressed as a sedan chair man. Then he went back to the house, and he also fell ill with the clothes of the palanquin man.
"Let's go and carry the second master together, you have to invite yourself for a ride." Zhu Tianqi probably saw that there was nothing wrong with the auspicious day, but he didn't break it down. The two of them carried a small sedan chair from the backyard, only three feet square, and at first glance it was dedicated to carrying the statue of the god.
Let the statue of Guan Gong go to the sedan chair, Zhu Tianqi is in front, and the auspicious day is behind, and the sedan chair is carried on the road steadily.
"Yo, Carpenter Zhu, it's a big deal, you actually carry the sedan chair yourself!"
"Wherever it is, it's a faceless handiwork."
"Brother Zhu, I haven't made a statue for a few days, who ordered the goods today?"
"The storyteller in the city, set a statue of Guan Gong for everyone to see."
On auspicious days, he came and went back and forth in Junling and Huoze City several times, and he always walked by himself, but now Zhu Tianqi disguised himself as a sedan chair man, and someone came to talk after walking a few steps.
"Uncle Zhu, you are popular, you can talk all the way, and you won't be bored at all." Ji Ri couldn't even interject words along the way, and didn't make up such a sentence until he was almost entering the city.
Zhu Tianqi saw clearly in front of the sedan chair, did not answer Ji Xing's words, lowered his voice and said: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, the house slaves of Ganfu are really guarding the door, you honestly rush the sedan chair, I will send you into the city!" β
