Sixty-nine forks in the road

Seven stars.

In the pawn shop, the proprietor's fingers gently stroked the embroidered butterfly and felt the two hidden names on it.

Artisans will like to mark their names in hidden places.

Miss Seven Stars is no exception, and even likes it extraordinarily.

"Someone in the door said before that the farm tools she made were marked with her name." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Since I have bought the master's skills and encountered difficulties, we will take the after-sales warranty." The owner said, "Although this young lady Huang is young, her temperament is tenacious, and if she survives this hurdle, she will be better off next." ”

The shopkeeper nodded: "I'll let people look at it." ”

The proprietor stroked the word Seven Stars with his hand again, and asked what he thought: "What did you say in the letter a few days ago?" The boss has a new name? ”

Some ink artists like to make a name when they first enter the rivers and lakes, but there are not many people like the head of the family who make a name halfway.

The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, it is called Nine Needles, and it is based on the six-foot sword that hid the Giant Order." ”

When it came to the first head, the owner looked stunned and admired.

Two years ago, the emperor announced the killing of the last main culprit in the case of the King of Jin, amnesty to the world, and then Momen announced the truth of the year, Momen Liu Shusheng wrote a story full of emotion, telling everyone that the ink who died in the Jin land did not follow the King of Jin to rebel, but to prevent the King of Jin from rebelling, and also cast the skill of the ink saint into a living artifact, and now the agricultural tools have been promoted in various places, and the city defense of the capital is almost finished in the past two years.

The first head of Luo Gong should indeed be remembered.

"Nine needles." The proprietor nodded, "Good name." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled again.

"The head of the family is getting married, are the gifts on our side ready?"

The shopkeeper nodded with a smile: "It's ready, I'll load it and transport it to Beitang today." ”

The road is full of people and cars.

As they traveled, the burden carried by Liang Erzi and Liang Liuzi became bigger and bigger.

"I think it's better to hire a car!" Liang Liuzi pulled his face and said, "I put on armor and weapons, and I didn't bear such a weight!" ”

Liang Erzi looked forward, at the intersection of Guanlu in front, there was a big teahouse, and colorful flags were flying in the spring.

"Here we are." He said and pointed ahead, "The meeting place agreed by the third and fourth brothers is here." ”

The two quickly approached, and at a glance, they saw many military horses under the horse shed outside, and another big cart with the Liang military flag hoisted.

Liang Liuzi was immediately happy: "The third brother and the fourth brother are still smart, and they pulled the car directly." Saying that, he was not in a hurry to enter the teahouse, jumped off the horse and shouted to his entourage to unload the burden, "Quick, load mine too, I can't carry it anymore." ”

Liang Sanzi Liang Sizi was sitting on the second floor, and he also saw them, and at this time he leaned against the window and shouted: "Sixth, it's not you who is carrying it!" ”

The two sides laughed, they hadn't seen each other for two years, their faces were hard to hide their joy, Liang Liuzi and Liang Erzi strode into the building, and saw that the hall on the first floor was also full of people, especially in a position around the screen, there were a lot of people, sitting and standing, constantly making noisy sounds, some applauding, some lamenting, mixed with the sound of dice crashing.

"Gambling in a crowd?" Liang Liuzi glared, "Does this local government care?" ”

As soon as his words fell, I heard a lazy voice from there, "Hey, outsiders, don't talk nonsense, we're playing a game!" ”

There are many people and the screen is blocked, and I can't see the appearance of the speaker, and the voice is a young man.

The ears are pointed! Liang Liuzi said in his heart that he had the heart to refute, but he was caught by Liang Erzi.

"Less trouble!" Liang Erzi scolded and pushed him, "Go up." ”

Liang Liuzi glanced at the screen over there, pursed his lips, and pedaled upstairs.

The crowd on the screen here is still noisy, and some people are urging "Let's start quickly." "What a verbal fight with outsiders!" "Hurry up this time I'm all in and I'm sure I'll win."

The young man who was sitting around a crowd of red-eyed people was almost overturned.

"Don't rush, don't rush." He said, "Stepping on my shoes, breaking themβ€”"

Saying that, raising their feet, the four or five people who squeezed over only felt a flicker, like the wind sweeping, and retreated.

The young man lowered his head and put the fallen shoe on his foot.

It's a straw sandal.

"A broken straw sandal, if you step on it, it will break, and it is worth a few dollars!" The man standing next to him said angrily, shaking the money bag in his arms, "Come on, come on, uncle will give you a penny, you go buy a pair!" ”

"One money is not enough." The young man said that he raised his head, revealing a fresh and handsome face, and lifted his foot, almost to the tip of the man's nose, "My straw sandals are inlaid with gold." ”

Inlaid with gold

Whose straw sandals are inlaid with gold?

But looking at the straw sandals in front of the tip of the nose, I can see that there are gold and silver threads wrapped in them, and my vision is shining.

The next moment his feet were lowered, and the smiling face of the young man was changed, and he raised his hand and pointed to the three porcelain bowls on the table.

"The wind comes with money, and it blows away without a shadow."

"There are comings and goings, and the discerning eye knows gold."

"Come on, come on, take a look, guess which bowl the gold is, whoever guesses correctly will belong to whom."

With his shouting, the crowd around him suddenly surged, making a greater noise.

The hustle and bustle was not endless, when the Liang brothers went downstairs, they saw that the bustle in front of the screen had dissipated, and a young man was reclining on a chair, and there was only a man who had lost his soul sitting in front of him.

"Brother, it's not that I don't take you to play, you have no money, and you still owe me so much money, how can you play." The young man said helplessly, one brother at a time, with a kind expression, but the next words were not so kind.

"It's natural to repay debts, I'm a craftsman, you can't bully me."

"If you bully me, I can only report to the official, in fact, it is easy to solve the problem after reporting to the official, the county government is very fond of cutting people's hands"

As he spoke, he reached out and gently swiped his hand over the man's hand on the table.

As if crawling over by a snake, the dejected man suddenly woke up and hid back in fear: "Don't, don't cut off my hands, I'll still return, I'll still -"

The young man looked at him: "What do you take back?" You used the house last time, right? You don't have land, what else? ”

The man muttered, "What else do I have?" Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "I still have a wife!" ”

When he heard this, Liang Liuzi, who pricked up his ears, snorted: "It's not a gamble, you have to sell your wife-"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Liang Sanzi and Liang Sizi and dragged outside.

"There are so many things like this, what do you want to do?"

"That person can set up a stall in this tea shed to gamble for definitely not a day or two, no one cares, can you take care of it?"

"Also, what can you do with this kid? The gambler has gone crazy and is hopeless, and he will not gamble here, but will go elsewhere to gamble. ”

The two pulled Liang Liuzi out of the tea shed.

"Sixth, people can only save themselves, not others." Liang Erzi said,

Liang Liuzi looked back, and saw that the man seemed to have made some promise, and ran out with a happy face, and behind him, the young man leaned back on a chair and threw a dice cup with a smile, which was very beautiful and made people feel cold

He flicked his sleeves, spat out, and turned to walk towards the stable.

"Let's go, go home! Pick up the new daughter-in-law! ”

The group of people and horses were sparkling and noisy heading north, and the young man sitting in the tea shed lazily looked at the dust and smoke that was rising.

"The surname Liang is really stupid." He shook his head and said to himself, "Seven stars are married, really. Fortunately, the dog thing is not surnamed Liang anymore. ”

He picked up one of the three bowls he was arranging, held it up and shouted to the shopkeeper.

"Let's have some salted beans!"

The shopkeeper sent the salted beans over and poured them into the bowl.

The young man ate the beans one by one, attentively and seriously, as if isolated from the outside world, until the gambler who had rushed out outside the tea shed rushed in again, dragging a thin woman in his hand.

"Master, master, someone brought it." The gambler said happily, slapped a paper selling his wife on the table, and pushed his wife forward, "Here it is, here you go." ”

The young man raised his eyelids to look at the woman, then raised his chin again: "Oh, IOU." ”

The gambler happily grabbed a few IOUs from the table, and was about to leave with joy, when he was stopped by the young man.

"I see that your daughter-in-law looks pretty good." He smiled and said, reaching out for a bowl upside down on the table, "I can't take advantage of you, and add some money to you." ”

The gambler was overjoyed, and when he opened the bowl, he saw a piece of silver laid down there, and he grabbed it.

"If you take the money, you might be able to turn over." The young man laughed.

If the gambler looks carefully, he can see the cruelty and chill in this smile, but the gambler can't see anything but money but gambling money, grabbing the money and laughing a few times, "Yes, yes, I'm going to turn over, I'm going to get rich, I must win." ”

Shouting and rushing out.

At this time, it was almost evening, and there were not many customers in the tea shed, and no one looked at the gambler like this, and the guy in the shop turned a blind eye, and only walked over to pour tea for the young man.

"What do you want to eat?" He asked respectfully.

The young man shook his head: "Sit every day, don't be hungry, don't eat." Then he glanced at the woman standing beside her.

Seeing him, the woman, who had been numb, shrank back with a little timidity.

"Hey, do you eat?" The young man asked.

The woman did not dare to speak, and buried her head in the ground, and out of the corner of her eye, she watched the young man's slender hand rummaging through the deeds.

"Tao Dani, you are from Taojiazhuang, do you still have relatives at home?"

Hearing the question, the woman murmured, "Yes, there is an old lady." ”

The word "mother" slid across the tip of her tongue, and her already dry tears welled up again.

Because of her, she is already miserable, if she learns that she has been sold, I don't know if she can live.

Anyway, the two of them died together, and they were companions on Huangquan Road.

"As for your man, he will gamble again, and if he bets again, he will die." The young man's voice came, "You can go home, there will be no future troubles, and you can live a good life with your mother." ”

Hearing this, the woman did not seem to understand, and looked up at the young man blankly.

What?

"I said you, you can go, go home." The young man impatiently said, "Oh, go back to your home." ”

He shook his head as he spoke.

The seemingly fluttering piece of paper did not fall to the ground, but fell into the woman's arms.

The woman subconsciously grasped it, her body trembling, as if she wanted to say something but could not say it.

"Oh, there's more." The young man tapped on the other upside-down bowl on the table again, and reached out to lift it, "This is your man's money, you can take it and live." ”

Looking at the piece of gold that appeared out of thin air under the bowl, the woman could no longer hold on, and fell to her knees and kostwtowed to the young man.

"Eun Gongβ€”"

Numb and dry tears poured out, blurring his vision and dumbing his voice.

"Eun Gongβ€”"

"Eun Gongβ€”"

The young man looked at the woman who was kneeling and weeping and prostrating, leaning back in her chair and raising her hand to gently stroke her sideburns.

"I'm not called Eun Gong." He said, "You can call me nameless." ”

This name is loud enough.

Gao Xiaoliu thought.

Good morning.

(I haven't finished writing, there is still a chapter tomorrow hahahaha, it's really what the book friend said, make it up.)
