Chapter 203: Mr. Hua
Laughing, singing, drunken dancing and writing.
Wearing fish and fish, walking rocks, there are many things to do in the twilight.
I have been outside Xieyang Village, who knows that I am drunk
Piaoranzi saw the old man singing around the stones, and he was in a state of fascination.
"Call Mr. Hua, sing and sing again" A few idlers coaxed.
"Sing well, I'll give you copper money to buy water to water the trees hahaha" A few idlers laughed.
Piaoranzi listened to the words of the idle man, as if he was making fun, frowned, looked carefully at the nameless tree, and felt a pang in his heart: this tree has no roots and branches, but the trunk pokes at the stones.
A few idlers threw a few copper coins at the boulder.
Piaoranzi walked over and paced a few steps in front of the stones, which was strange. "Uncle, may I ask Taifu"
"People call me Mr. Hua, and I am Mr. Enlightenment, don't you hear?" Mr. Hua looked at Piaoranzi.
"Sir, this tree is so strange, it has no roots, it is full of branches and leaves, and it is full of flowers, what is the name of it?" asked Piao Ranzi.
"Haha, young man, if you want to know the roots, please pay the money. Mr. Cheng Hua said coldly.
"Okay," Piaoranzi opened the cloth bag and took out a silver ingot. Mr. Yuhua glanced at it, and then his eyes turned to the sky.
Piao Ranzi took out two more ingots of silver, and asked Mr. Hua to glance at them, but his eyes were still facing the sky.
"Oh, oh, Mr. Hua is rich," the idlers coaxed again.
Piaoranzi gritted his teeth, took out all the silver in the cloth pocket, and put it on the stone: "I only have this silver, all of which will be given to you, please tell me the name of this tree." ”
"Big brother, big brother, and my one or two pieces of silver" Wang ran over, picked up a piece, and said to Piao Ranzi: "This is my errand money, thank you, big brother" Without waiting for Piao Ranzi to answer, he got out of the crowd and left.
"Okay, then I'll sue you. Mr. Zhaohua saw that Piaoranzi could no longer shake out the silver, and said, "You heard clearly, this tree is called a rootless tree."
"Oh," the idlers exclaimed.
"It's not a rootless tree" Piaoranzi listened, and felt irritable, so much silver, he bought the veritable three words of "rootless tree", wouldn't he be annoyed.
"Brother, you said that there are eastmelons, watermelons, pumpkins, and pumpkins in the world, are there still fools?"
"That's right, fools have it every year, and today there is one. ”
The idlers made fun of Piaoranzi, and of course he could hear it. Since this pile of silver bought a "rootless tree", Piao Ranzi was not reconciled, and asked: "Sir, how can this tree grow vigorously without roots?"
"Young man, I can only tell you for this little bit of silver, this tree is called a rootless tree, if you want to inquire about the details of my treasure, please take hundreds of millions of taels of gold and a million pearls before you can tell you. Mr. Hua said.
"Mr. Hua opened his mouth wide, and the golden pearl took out his hand," the idlers coaxed.
"Little brother, listen to the accent, you are a foreigner, don't be fooled. This is called Mr. Hua, and he specializes in defrauding people of money here," said a middle-aged man with a short beard.
Piao Ranzi looked at the idlers around, as if they had seen this old man, and he wanted to live such conditions for others.
"Little brother, this charlatan, relying on tricks to deceive people, you go, you should spend money to buy a lesson. Someone rushed to Piaoranzi.
"He's not reconciled, hehehe. Someone scoffed.
Indeed, Piao Ranzi is unwilling, he has another reason. "Sir, I have nowhere to find so much money, but I would like to know how this tree has no roots, how it can live, and what other conditions I can tell. ”
"Haha, other conditions? Okay, yes, yes," Mr. Hua smiled, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Piaoranzi, "The conditions, it's very simple." It's not easy to say, I don't know if you're willing to do it. ”
"Sir, please say, as long as it's not, it's not rambling, I can do it. Piaoranzi said.
"First, you can't wear this clothes, I talk to you, and when I look at you, I feel uncomfortable, so I will change your clothes and wear them, are you willing?" said Mr. Zhaohua.
Piao Ranzi said in his heart: Why not change clothes? "Yes, but I don't know where the clothes are?"
"Here it is. Mr. Zhaohua stretched out his hand, took out a tattered robe from under the stone, and threw it in front of Piaoranzi.
"This ・・・・・・" Piao Ran frowned, frowning why? It turned out that when he looked at the clothes, he was disgusted. It's just dilapidated, with patches on top of each other, and the mouth is still dirty. Although he was not a rich man, he had never worn such shabby clothes since he was a child, and now he was embarrassed to let him wear this dress in public.
"This old man is really good at playing tricks," the idler was upset with Piaoranzi.
"Boy, let's go, leave this madman alone"
"This old man has a madness, and he specializes in entertaining people. ”
"Hahaha," Mr. Hua laughed: "Don't be crazy, who is a fairy." ”
"I'll wear it" Piao Ranzi gritted his teeth, and said in his heart: Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch back then, and later commanded millions of troops, and I wore torn clothes, what is it.
Piao Ranzi took the dirty and tattered clothes, took off the clothes on his body, put them on his body in front of everyone, looked down, and sighed secretly: Anyway, this body is not his own, and if he is wronged in tattered clothes, he can only live with the Taoist brother in the ancient cave.
"Okay, young man, put on this dress, let's be sloppy, that's pretty much it. Mr. Yuhua smiled.
"What are the other conditions? ”
"The second condition, you carry this rootless tree, let's leave this place, I will tell you the secret of this tree," Mr. Hua said.
"Yes," Piaoranzi walked over to the rocks, and looked at the rootless tree, which was only half a man tall and carried on his shoulders, and it was not too difficult to carry. He stretched out his hands, grabbed the trunk of the tree, and lifted it up, but did not move. He stumbled and almost hit a branch.
"So heavy," Piaoranzi asked.
"Young man, forget it. Mr. Hua sneered.
Piao Ranzi pulled out the tree for the second time, and this time, luck, with both arms, shouted that the rootless tree left the big stone and moved to his chest.
"Good," shouted the idlers.
Piaoranzi slowly put it on his shoulder, felt extremely heavy, and trembled as he walked away.
"Let's go, since you can carry it, let's talk while walking, and I'll tell you the root of this rootless tree. Mr. Hua said.
"Don't go, wow, let's listen," the idler coaxed again.
"I don't know what to do" asked Mr. Hua to point to everyone with his hand and shouted: "I came to Jingzhou for three days, you just make fun of it, there has never been a single person, as pious as him, without hard work, he wants to know the root of the rootless tree, he is really shameless."
The idlers were scolded by him and did not dare to contradict him. Some muttered in a low voice: "It's supposed to cheat people out of money, I'm afraid that the trick will be exposed, obviously, and then go elsewhere to cheat money." ”
"Brother, don't talk about it, this old man is not easy to mess with, what do we care about this idle matter?"
The idlers walked away.
"Wait and go," shouted Mr. Zhaohua. The idlers were stunned for a moment, and they all turned around, not knowing what the old man was going to do.
"You say that I cheat people out of money and fool others, hehe," said this, Mr. Hua sneered: "When did the fool wake up from a dream of the corporal, how do you know the sergeant, these silver, I gave you to wait."
As soon as everyone heard about the money, they gathered around. Mr. Zhaohua stretched out his right hand and gently sent it to the big stone, and the silver floated into the air, and then, like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, scattered in all directions.
"Oh-" shouted the idlers, scrambling to pick it up.
"Young man, what are you doing in a daze? Let's go," Mr. Hua laughed.
"Okay, where are you going?" asked Piaoranzi.
"Go wherever you want. Mr. Hua said.
Piao Ranzi's heart lit up and he walked in the southeast direction. As soon as I walked a few steps, I was tired and out of breath, and the rootless tree on my shoulders weighed a thousand pounds. He had to grit his teeth and move forward step by step.
"Young man, my third condition is even harsher, do you still want to listen?"
"Say it. I listened. ”
"The third condition is to see your memory, I will tell you the root cause of this rootless tree, say a paragraph, you remember a paragraph, repeat it to me, okay? If you think you can't do it, put down the tree, you can leave," Mr. Zhaohua said.
Putting down the rootless tree and leaving, wouldn't it be a waste of all the previous efforts? Piao Ranzi gritted his teeth, opened his bow and didn't look back, "Sir, you say, I'll try it and do my best."
"Young man, there is a kind, then I will say it, you can listen carefully" The two of them spoke, they had already gone out of the city gate, the path was remote, and the forehead of the fluttering son was sweating, and he remembered the words that Mr. Hua said, it was really asking for trouble
