Chapter 4: The Pear Seller

Sui Lian'er lay leisurely on the roots of the trees on the shore to bask in the sun, the slightest coolness brought by the breeze made her drowsy, today is finally a day of leisure, everyone is disturbed, and she is still a little unaccustomed.

I was used to He Wenshun coming over obediently every day, but I suddenly didn't come today, and I inexplicably felt that the surroundings were a little quiet.

But silence is clearly impossible.

Far away, He Wenwu began to shout, and said with a smile.

"Sister, I'm here, I brought you osmanthus cake, I heard my grandfather say it's a cake over there in Jiangnan, you can taste it."

Sui Lian'er let out a faint sigh, habitually took the osmanthus cake casually, and tasted it, with a rich osmanthus taste.

Asked casually.

"What are you going to do?"

He Wenwu put down the branch he was writing with, and while testing his results, he said, "I'll learn." ”

Sui Lian'er asked rhetorically: "I didn't say I wanted to teach you, did I?" ”

He Wenwu said confidently: "My sister ate my osmanthus cake, just agreed." ”

Sui Lian'er looked at the osmanthus cake that he took a bite into his hand, and felt distressed, making you greedy, letting you get used to nature, and eating it when you take it.

Hatefully looked at the bitten osmanthus cake in his hand.

Gritting his teeth and stuffing the rest with a vicious bite, the full fragrance of osmanthus filled his mouth, Sui Lian'er couldn't help but squint his eyes, delicious!

For such a delicious osmanthus cake, it seems that it is okay to teach another one.

However, if you have the opportunity, you should find a teaching assistant, and teach in a small class, one for each person, perfect.

Looking up, He Wenwu had already finished writing, and it was the first half of the three-character classic.

This strengthened her desire to find a master, the student learns too fast, and it is also a sweet burden to the teacher, and she has not reviewed it yet.

He Wenwu turned his head and smiled widely.

Sui Lian'er's brows furrowed, his heart beat violently, this feeling was not right, beckoned He Wenwu to come over, and looked at his face carefully.

Stretching out his hand, a bunch of messy causal lines appeared in front of him, found He Wenshun's one, and looked along the line.

Sui Lian'er's face changed, and he said seriously:

"I have something to deal with, will you come with me, or will you go home first?"

He Wenwu's eyes lit up, and he ran to Sui Lian'er's side, grabbed her sleeve and didn't let go.

"I'm with you."

Sui Lian'er sighed, why does this kid like to join in the fun so much.

"Hold on to me, don't let go."

He Wenwu nodded heavily and grabbed Sui Lian'er's sleeve.

Sui Lian'er lifted his footsteps and arrived at the gate of the county seat in an instant.

The traffic is busy, people come and go, the livestock market not far from the city gate, mules, horses, all kinds of small animals, and in a blink of an eye, it seems that I also see an acquaintance.

His eyes turned again, and he disappeared again, He Wenwu was a little puzzled, and was quickly attracted by the lively street market.

His eyes sparkled and he screamed.

"Sister, you're so amazing!"

A pair of dog eyes, full of stars.

Sui Lian'er raised his hand to cover his eyes.

"Don't talk, follow me."

Raise your feet and take He Wenwu to a noisy corner.

After watching it for a while, Sui Lian'er lowered his head and muttered to He Wenwu, and gave him another bag.

He Wenwu's eyes lit up, and he walked into the crowd with a bag and found a country man who stretched out his neck and stared at the excitement.

Pulled him.

The old man threw it away impatiently.

"Don't bother me to watch the trick."

He Wenwu turned his head to look at Sui Lian'er, who cheered him on.

He Wenwu took a deep breath, grabbed his father-in-law, and shouted loudly.

"Grandpa, I want to buy pears!"

The loud people around them all stole their eyes, saw that it was a child, and smiled kindly.

And there is the one who has a good heart that says.

"Uncle, people fancy your pears, don't you hurry up to sell them, didn't someone say just now that the price is too expensive and definitely can't be sold, now that you're doing business, don't hurry up."

The old man pulled his clothes and said angrily: "I know, I know, you just want me to get out of the way quickly, so that you can watch the trick!" ”

The others burst into laughter.

The old man took He Wenwu to the car, picked up the scale and asked.

"How much do you want? I picked these pears one by one, they are sweet, and the juicy ones will make you burst the juice when you bite into them! ”

He Wenwu swallowed his saliva, puffed up his chest, and looked proud like a little rooster. "I want it all."

The old man didn't believe it and said: "Child, you won't be here to entertain me, you must know that one of my pears costs at least one penny, you see how many pears I have, do you have money?" If you want to eat it, I'll give you one. ”

As he spoke, he took out a pear and handed it to He Wenwu, and was about to push him away and continue to watch the trick.

He Wenwu took the pear and seized the opportunity to hand over a money bag.

"This money is for you, the pear is mine, and I'm not alone, I'm here with my sister."

The old man opened it and smiled.

"That's enough, even my car is enough, where do you live, I'll send it to you."

Sui Lian'er walked over and smiled kindly at the old man.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I can pull it back myself."

Lao Zhan is not very convinced, Sui Lian'er looks sixteen, seventeen or eighteen years old, with an ordinary face, smiling, crooked eyebrows and eyes, and a dimple on his cheek, which is amiable to look at. The body is thin, the fair skin exudes a sense of weakness, and there are no muscles in the arms, which does not look like a strong force.

Sui Lian'er smiled, walked to the frame, and praised a one-handed pear car.

The old man was stunned and amazed.

Sui Lian'er said with a smile: "The trick is almost over, so don't you hurry up." ”

When the old man heard this, he took the silver and went to see the excitement again.

In the middle of the crowd, there happened to be a Taoist priest wearing a tattered turban and a torn Taoist robe, begging others for hot water.

Sui Lian'er rolled his eyes, waved his sleeves, and even the pear cart disappeared, and after thinking about it again, the pear cart appeared out of thin air again, and it was full of sweet pears.

He Wenwu's eyes are wide open.

Sui Lian'er raised his finger and put it on his lips.

He Wenwu immediately understood and covered his mouth.

Leaned over and over next to Sui Lian'er's sleeve to test it.

Sui Lian'er let him finish the inspection, and then said unhurriedly.

"Do you want to see the excitement?"

He Wenwu put down his sleeves and said firmly: "Yes." ”

Picked up He Wenwu and brought him to the middle of the crowd, in the middle of the open space, the pear tree planted by Lao Dao was already full of flowers, and it was bearing fruit, and when he saw Sui Lian'er and his brother coming, the old man hurriedly greeted him.

"Girl, come here, see clearly here."

Sui Lian'er shook his head with a smile.

"Thank you, boss, I'll just watch it here."

As the two spoke, the pear tree was already full of sweet pears, and He Wenwu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Sui Lian'er stuffed one into him casually.

He Wenwu didn't mind taking it and gnawed it, his mouth was full of pear water, and the extra pear water flowed down his chin and onto his clothes, wetting his placket.

"It's delicious."

When the pears grow, the Taoist priest begins to invite people to eat them.

The people around took the pears of the Taoist priest.

Sui Lian'er was also assigned one.

But the corners of her eyes twitched, and she calmly and silently put it away.

A strong man took the pear and couldn't wait to bite it hard.

With a sigh, he spit out two teeth, covered his mouth, and looked at the pear in his hand that suddenly turned into stone in shock.

"He's a liar!"

Those who are anxious to eat pears are either jumped out of their teeth or eat a mouthful of sludge.

I was about to take it back to eat with my family, and I was instantly furious when I saw the sweet pears in my hand turn into sludge and rotten shrimp in an instant.

shouted and threw the things in his hand on the Taoist priest.

"Liar."

"Liar, you give me back your teeth."

The Taoist priest looked around in astonishment, who broke his blind eye.

His gaze turned around and fell on Sui Lian'er.

"You water ghost, you actually do a good thing!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, a lump of mud fell right into his mouth, and the disgusting Taoist priest bent over and kept vomiting.

Tears were in the corners of his eyes, and a pair of eyes stared directly at Sui Lian'er, full of anger and hatred.

Sui Lian'er walked to his side with He Wenwu and asked coldly.

"I am indeed a water ghost, but I am full of merit and enlightenment, what can you do with me. Moreover, because your husband is unwilling to give you a pear, you will ask him for a whole load of pears, and you will cut down the car he uses to make a living, you are not as good as me, a water ghost, in front of that old man! ”

Sui Lianer took a deep breath and continued:

"Do you know that my father-in-law has a sick wife in bed? You know that this car of pears is the old man who wears the stars and the moon every day, watering and weeding, fertilizing and killing insects. Is it the result of tireless work and tiring for half a year? Do you know that my father-in-law's wife's medicine money depends on this car of pears? ……”

A series of questions left the Taoist priest speechless.

Sui Lianer pointed at his uncle and said.

"Look at the old man's swarthy face, dry figure, and the ill-fitting clothes that he deliberately wore to look good when he went out, do you see it? You don't see it, what you see is that he didn't give you a pear!

What you want is not his whole car of pears, it is the rations of his family for the next year, it is the life of his family, use their lives to make amends for your sins, you are really worthy of the Taoist skills you have learned! ”

After speaking, he turned around and left with He Wenwu.

The Taoist priest was stunned in place, wanting to refute, saying that he was just joking, but Sui Lian'er's words hit him deep in his heart, he really wanted to teach him a lesson because his uncle was unwilling, but he didn't expect that this Che Pear would be involved in such a big matter!

has always been wanton and free, with revenge and revenge, and the heart of revenge, suddenly cracked.

Staggered away, walking faster and faster.

He Wenwu's strange Sui Lian'er.

"Sister, is that Taoist priest crazy? Why laugh while walking. ”

Sui Lian'er lowered his head and looked at him.

"It's all over, okay, what do you understand through this incident?"

He Wenwu grabbed Sui Lian'er's hand, Yaoyao's head, he didn't understand.

Sui Lian'er sighed, squatted in front of him, looked at him level, and said earnestly.

"You have to remember that one day in the future, if you have the ability to do it like a Taoist priest, don't use it casually, when you encounter problems, you must understand the causes and consequences, and use the power in your hands carefully, remember?"

He Wenwu nodded ignorantly, although he didn't understand very much, but his sister's solemn expression left a mark in his heart.

Turn left and right, lead He Wenwu to Chen's house, there is a huge hibiscus tree not far from the door of Chen's house, the branches are luxuriant, presumably when it blooms, it is surrounded by the fragrance of hibiscus flowers. The hibiscus flowers are located in the alley, which is also a beautiful sight.

And the Chen family is immersed in grief.

Chen came with He Wenshun today, and when he came, he covered his stomach and kept wailing.

The frightened Chen family hurriedly asked what was wrong, and Chen only said that his stomach hurt.

Mrs. Chen saw that her daughter and grandson were in great pain, so she hurriedly asked Chen Da to find Langzhong, and after looking for Langzhong, they all shook their heads and prepared for the future.

The panic was excessive, and the old lady of the Chen family almost fainted, but fortunately, Lang Zhong was on the side, and helped the old lady Chen with first aid in time so that she would not faint.

Mrs. Chen, who came to her senses, didn't want to leave her daughter and grandson, sat between her daughter and grandson, and kept helping her daughter and grandson rub her stomach, secretly sad.

Sui Lian'er asked He Wenwu to knock on the door.

The door opened, and the eldest son of the Chen family looked down and saw that it was the son of the eldest brother of his sister's family, grabbed He Wenwu, and asked with concern:

"Who are you coming with?"

He Wenwu pointed at Sui Lian'er.

"Sister, I'm here with my sister."

When Chen Da saw Sui Lian'er, he hurriedly greeted her, a little puzzled why he hadn't seen her, and beckoned Sui Lian'er into the house again.

"I'm sorry, something happened at home, it's a little messy, and I'm slacking."

Sui Lian'er waved his hand, didn't go in, and said at the door:

"It's okay, that's what I'm here for."

Chen Da was a little surprised.

Sui Lianer explained.

"He Wenshun and Chen drank water manggrass on the way here, and were caught by the water mangweed ghost as a stand-in."

As he spoke, he handed over a small clay figurine.

"You write He Wenshun's name and birth date on a piece of paper, and then paste it on the clay figure to ensure that he is fine."

After speaking, he said to He Wenwu again.

"I'll give you a task now, you take care of He Wenshun here, I'll go talk to those water ghosts, can you do it?!"

He Wenwu straightened his chest and promised: "It can be done!" ”

Sui Lian'er immediately praised: "Yes, this is a good boy, come on, my sister is optimistic about you." ”

He Wenwu smiled loudly, and ran into the house quickly.

Chen Da looked at everything a little stunned, took the clay figurine, and was cautious as if holding a fragile treasure.

Sui Lian'er turned around and looked at Chen Da.

"Master Chen, He Wenwu came out with me in a hurry, I didn't have time to inform him about the family, please tell me, I'll go and deal with those water reckless ghosts now, and say goodbye first."

After that, it's time to leave.

Chen Da hurriedly stopped and said with some embarrassment:

"This girl, Wen Shun and her mother...... Can you give one too? ”

Sui Lian'er sighed, pinched one casually, and handed it over.

Chen Da happily hugged it in his arms and did not let go.

Carrying the clay figure into the house.

Old Mrs. Chen touched her tears and looked at Chen Da in disbelief.

"Say it again."

Chen Da said something.

Mrs. Chen was a little unconvinced, He Wenwu was a little unhappy next to him, and the Chen family doubted his sister's attitude, so he deliberately told the scene in the bazaar, and the Chen family did what Sui Lian'er said in half a doubt.

As soon as they put down the clay figures, Chen and He Wenshun's stomachs felt a lot less, and Chen also had time to pull He Wenwu and ask what was going on.

The yellow clay figurines on the bedside table showed a trail of water.
