Chapter 20 Sugar Gourd
After changing into his coat, Dongzhang stepped out of the house where he hadn't been out for months.
It's really lively, there are jugglers on the street, there are also rivers and lakes performing arts, it may be close to the Spring Festival, there are a lot of peasant women who set up stalls to buy things on the street, they may all want to have a good year, the chickens and ducks at home are fat, and they want to sell at a good price.
Then the family buys their favorite New Year's goods and has a happy New Year, this Dongzhang is aware, they are all descendants of China, everyone has a special feeling for the Spring Festival in their hearts, and every family will attach great importance to it.
Although Dongzhang spends the Spring Festival alone every year, looking at the sincere smiles of the children on the street, Dongzhang's own heart will also be warm.
Looking at the rock sugar gourd vendors who walk the streets and alleys from time to time, every shout must be followed by a group of children, it is conceivable that no matter this life or future generations, the temptation of sugar gourds to children is still infinite.
Holding his pocket, Dongzhang stopped the vendor who sold sugar gourds, because of the practice, although Dongzhang was only fourteen years old, he looked like he was more than one meter and a half in terms of height and figure, although he was not tall, but standing there still brought inexplicable pressure to the hearts of ordinary people.
Looking at the imposing Dongzhang, the sugar gourd vendor also politely asked, "Does the little brother want to buy a sugar gourd?" ”
"Yes, I want all of them."
Looking at the group of little boys and girls who were quietly licking their lips behind him, Dongzhang said to the vendor with a smile.
"Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you, the small one will be wrapped for you."
There is a rich man who buys out the sugar gourd at one time, which means that the hawker can rush home very early in advance to reunite with his family, instead of shouting in the streets and alleys of the town on a cold and windy day, how can this not make the hawker overjoyed, but just when he wanted to take off the sugar gourd one by one and pack it for Dongzhang, Dongzhang spoke.
"Don't wrap it, I bought the whole stick."
After speaking, he threw a tael of silver to the hawker, and when the hawker took the silver in a panic, Dongzhang had naturally taken the sugar gourd stick in the hawker's hand and carried it on his shoulder, turned around and looked down at a little girl about three or four years old in front of him, and asked her with a smile:
"Do you want to eat?"
"Yes."
followed by more than a dozen immature voices that agreed, but the little girl in front of her seemed a little timid and didn't dare to speak, and when she saw that her friends were all speaking out, she opened her mouth hesitantly and said that she wanted to.
Hehehe.
Looking at the little girl in front of him who was a little afraid of life, Dongzhang really laughed heartily, children are the most sincere and pure, there are no twists and turns in the adult world, take down a sugar gourd, Dongzhang handed the sugar gourd to the little girl: "I invite you to eat." ”
"Thanks... Thank you brother. ”
The little girl was slightly frightened by the sugar gourd that Dongzhang suddenly handed over, looking at Dongzhang's sincere smile, she timidly reached out and took the sugar gourd, and then politely thanked Dongzhang and then walked aside happily and attentively licked the sugar gourd in her hand.
Oh, looking at the little girl with a happy expression, Dongzhang couldn't help but think of the future life, on the day of graduation, he thought that he was leaving hell, but in fact, after stepping into society, he knew that what he left back then was heaven.
Looking at the innocent smile of the little girl in front of him, Dongzhang himself was happy from the bottom of his heart, and then continued to ask the blind-eyed children in front of him: "What about you, do you want to eat?" ”
"Yes!!"
"Yes, thank you, brother."
Answered in unison, and even some of the little clever ghosts thanked Dongzhang in advance, and Dongzhang himself laughed silently, it turned out that the happiness of children is so simple, and after sending the gang of ghosts in front of him, Dongzhang found that the vendor selling sugar gourds was still quietly waiting behind him.
"Huh? Are you okay? ”
Seeing Dongzhang asking, the hawker carefully took out the remaining money and said to Dongzhang: "This is the remaining money for the little minister..."
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dongzhang waving his hand: "Don't look for it, depending on your age, there must be children in the family. ”
After saying that, he was about to leave with the remaining sugar gourd, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he turned around and walked back, and came to the vendor, just when the vendor thought that Dongzhang regretted it and wanted to get the rest of the money back.
Dongzhang took off a sugar gourd on his shoulder and handed it to the vendor: "Take it back to your child, you see, everyone else has it." ”
After speaking, he left without looking back, looking deeply at Dongzhang's back, and the vendor also rushed back to his home with a little excitement.
And Dongzhang is carrying the remaining sugar gourd to continue his own walk through the streets, see the novelty of the stall to go up to join in the fun, not interested, just hurriedly skimmed, see the child took off a sugar gourd, in the child's stunned expression said: "Send you." He walked away
And there is such a strange scene on the back street, a teenager is carrying a stick with a sugar gourd on his shoulder, followed by a group of laughing and playing children, each of them is holding a sugar gourd in his hand and licking happily, so that the pedestrians watching are all secretly curious, which one is this?
By the time Dongzhang walked to the end of the street, all the sugar gourds on his shoulders had been distributed, and a group of children with fart bugs had all disappeared.
At this time, the little children did not go home to eat for fear that their buttocks would be smashed, and the pedestrians on the street had gradually become less visible to the naked eye, and most of the stall owners were already cleaning up their stalls and preparing to go home.
Dongzhang casually put the stick of the sugar gourd on a wall, and he continued to walk forward, when he was about to walk out of the town, Dongzhang heard the sound of clanging iron, looking at the fire-filled interior of a small shop not far away, Dongzhang also walked over curiously.
It's winter now, and the people outside are wrapping themselves in thick cotton winter clothes, and here, Dongzhang saw a middle-aged man with no clothes on his upper body, just a piece of leather hanging on his chest, watching him snort and push the bellows, and the heat also came out one by one with his movements.
Because Dongzhang himself has practiced the Jiuyang True Scripture to the realm of cold and heat, so in the heat wave that Dahan feels hot, Dongzhang didn't feel anything, and looked at the walls of the house full of all kinds of swords, guns, swords, and halberds.
Dongzhang walked straight to one of the long swords, took it off with his left hand, and flicked the blade with his right finger, and instantly emitted a buzzing echo.
"Good sword."
Casually exaggerating the big man, Dongzhang turned to look at the big man who had stopped moving, and asked, "What is the price of your best steel sword here?" ”
"Naturally, it depends on how long and wide you build, and then I can set the price."
"The sword body is three feet three, and there is no sword grid."
The big man raised his eyebrows and asked again, "No sword grid?" ”
Dongzhang also looked at the big man calmly, nodded and responded: "Well, it's the Wuge Sword." ”
