19, ant hall
When Bai Gu walked out of the Changzhou Pharmacy and stood on the side of the road, he looked dazed, as if he was in another world.
To this day, he still can't believe the facts.
Before entering the Cheung Chau Pharmacy, he was still just a poor bastard.
After he came out, he was already a rich man with 30,000 taels of gold!
Thirty thousand taels of gold!
You have to eat as many baked cakes as you want, how many cotton clothes you can buy, and how many houses you can build!
Bai Gu's body trembled visibly with the naked eye, which was a manifestation of incomparably excited in his heart.
He can finally let Xiaoxiao live a good life!
It's just that grandma and Ah Yue don't have that good fortune. After a lifetime of hard life, I couldn't enjoy the good life that Bai Gu earned.
And, now it's imperative to get the little one cured as soon as possible! Otherwise, even if you have these 30,000 taels of gold, it will be useless.
Thousands of dollars can't be exchanged for one person in the family.
Thousands of mountains and rivers are not as good as the thatched huts in the countryside.
I heard this from the Ant Hall, that is to say, the Book Hall.
At that time, it was about a swordsman who wandered the rivers and lakes, who had been down, rich, and after traveling all over the world, he felt that the alleys and thatched houses in his hometown and the ridges and reeds were the beautiful scenery of the world. The men and women in the alleys of the village are noisy, and the children are laughing and laughing.
And the closest relatives in the family are the only one that cannot be replaced by all things in the world.
In the end, he returned to his homeland and was buried with his parents.
Before his death, he was a sword immortal who walked the rivers and lakes with one person and one sword.
After his death, he was just the child of his parents, and he made a monument with a sword and slept on the slope of a hill.
Bai Gu admired and liked this swordsman very much, or rather, the sword immortal, and was so fascinated by the story that he forgot the time to go home. By the time he reacted and rushed home, Bai Xiaoxiao had already fainted from hunger.
After that time, Bai Gu no longer dared to go to the ant hall to listen to books, for fear that he would forget the time to go home again and starve Bai Xiaoxiao.
As for now......
It's still early, the pastry shop is in the south of the city, and the ant hall is also in the south of the city, and it's just on the way, go to see if there are any good stories to hear.
No matter how bad it is, you can also visit Mr. Tang.
Bai Gu has never read a book, but he knows a lot of words, a lot of words, a lot of characters and truths in the book, and he also knows a lot of people and worldliness, all thanks to this Mr. Tang.
I heard that Mr. Tang is a talent!
No wonder it's so cultured.
Bai Gu walked in the direction of the pastry shop.
How can you go to visit someone without bringing something?
The south of the city is the bustling area of Yunshui City, where seven or eight out of ten of the shops and merchants in the city gather, and it is very lively.
Juggling, snacks, medical halls, storytelling, bazaars, ......
The Castle Lord's Mansion is also located here.
Although it is said that the south of the city is prosperous, this excitement brings a huge number of people, and there are often some fights, murders and arsons. Although the City Lord's Mansion and the patrols and guards in the city have made great efforts to curb such incidents, they also happen from time to time.
After all, there are many aborigines in Yunshui City, and there are many people who enter and leave the city gate every day, so it is really difficult to completely eliminate it.
Because the Cheung Chau Pharmacy was located in the south-east of the city, Bai Gu quickly arrived at the pastry shop, but only bought some mung bean cake and glutinous rice balls first.
When I go to listen to the story, I don't know when I want to hear it. When I go back, I will buy rice date cakes for Lao Liutou, so as not to be fresh.
After bypassing the two streets, Bai Gu saw the familiar plaque again.
Ant Hall.
As the largest storytelling hall in the city, with the most storytellers, the best treatment, the most complete supporting facilities, and the most formal storytelling hall, Ant Hall has directly become the first storytelling hall in Yunshui City in the first year of its establishment. Its popularity, fame, and praise have left other storytelling halls in the city in the dust unmatched.
Even secret slander and malicious slander can't shake the ant hall at all.
On the contrary, because of this, three storytelling halls were directly ordered to rectify and close their doors.
Since then, as long as no one dares to think anything wrong about the ant hall.
Don't you see the lessons of the three storytelling halls?
It's good to fight for second place.
At least I can say that my family is only a little worse than the ant hall, and I have a comfort.
The storyteller of the ant hall does one day off and two days off, and the monthly salary is higher than that of other storytelling halls. And the package eats and stays, eating eight dishes and one soup every day, and living in the Qingyu Inn, which is the number one in the city.
There are other subsidies as well.
Who said that Shutang can give it like this?
This has led to many talented and powerful storytellers running away to the Ant Hall, and it has also indirectly caused other storytelling halls to be unable to confront the Ant Hall.
Of course, these are all well-known things in Yunshui City, and there is nothing to hide.
People are rich and can afford it, isn't it normal to earn a lot? If you have the ability, your other storytelling halls are the same, don't you not let it?
It's up to you to be willing to pay your blood.
Talents also have to eat, and they can't keep it after all.
Bai Gu walked into the ant hall, walked around the first floor, and didn't find any interesting stories, so he went straight to the third floor.
The third floor is Mr. Tang's permanent residence, and every time he comes to talk, it will be full.
As soon as he walked to the staircase, Bai Gu saw many people standing, and he was about to squeeze to the staircase.
Bai Gu was overjoyed in his heart, and he had caught up.
He frantically squeezed through the crowd and got to a place where he could see and hear the faces and voices of the people on stage.
Sure enough, it's really Mr. Tang!
A middle-aged man in a blue robe sat on the stage and talked eloquently, as if he knew everything in his chest and had it at his fingertips. His temples are slightly white, but he is full of energy, and he does not look old at all.
Although he is just a storyteller, he is more like a reader who has gone through ups and downs and is still willing to smile at the world, but the years have left some traces on his sideburns.
Mr. Tang was telling the story of Xiao Yao, who was the flower fan, and happened to be talking about the big battle before his disappearance.
I saw that Xiao Yao was seriously injured, but he still drove the treasure fan, and launched attacks again and again, not caring about the injuries on his body, and was about to kill the giant demon. Although the giant demon was already at the end of the crossbow, seeing Xiao Yao so desperate, he didn't dare not resist with all his might. After the blow, the giant demon took advantage of Xiao Yao's old strength to be exhausted and the new power was not born, and directly sacrificed a magic weapon, which was detonated in mid-air, but he hurriedly ran away. Poor Xiao Yao, he was hit by the fluctuations caused by the explosion of the magic weapon. Heaven and earth suddenly faded and smoked. When everything was calm, there was no trace of Xiao Yao. The poor generation of the wind fell into the flower fan, and since then they have not seen their traces, and they have never listened to their rumors again. ”
The man's words changed, "Everyone thinks he is dead, and some people think that he can't see anyone alive, he can't see his body, he is just missing." What do you think? Think about it, there is a note board at the front desk downstairs, write down your thoughts, and exchange it for a small gift. For those with novel ideas, the old rules, Anttang will give away a free ticket for listening to books, and you can experience a listening book for free. That's all for today's lecture, and the next one is the day after tomorrow, so please cheer you on. ”
The man stood up and waved at the group.
Everyone also waved to Mr. Tang, or returned the salute, or shouted, saying goodbye in their own ways.
The man watched the crowd leave, and waited until he was almost done before returning to his seat and starting to pack his things.
It's just that out of his peripheral vision, he seems to see a thin figure walking this way.
He turned around and looked at the still slightly childish eyes in the audience.
He smiled slightly, walked over, and realized that the little guy in the audience didn't seem to be tall. The man thought about it, and sat directly on the edge of the stage, and he still needed to bend down slightly, so that he could barely be at eye level with the thin figure.
"Little book friend, what's the matter?"
Men generally call the audience who listen to books in the future called book friends, which is more cordial.
Bai Gu smiled shyly and handed over the pastry in his hand, "Mr. Tang, this is for you, I just bought it from the pastry shop on Lotus Street, it's delicious." ”
The man smiled, took the pastry, and pointed to the place next to him, "Don't stand still, sit down and eat together." ”
Bai Gu scratched his head, suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly ran away.
The man wasn't angry, just smiled and stood up.
Bai Gu ran back again, stood at the top of the stairs, and shouted, "Mr. Tang, you have a good book!" I love to hear it! ”
The man stood on the stage, turned around, and still smiled, "It's good if you like it, there will be another one the day after tomorrow, if you have time, you can come and listen to it." ”
"Good!" Bai Gu smiled and waved his hand, "Goodbye, Mr. Tang!" ”
"Little book friend walk slowly, be careful with the stairs." The man waved his hand lightly.
After Bai Gu left, the man looked at the pastries in his hand, and the smile on his face was even bigger, "Dinner has arrived." ”
