is as close as a smile, and the old acquaintance is shocked.

The next day, Liu Xin came to visit early in the morning, and the three of them sat on the verandah, gossiping about homely things. Yang Xin was curious about the art of divination and asked him the mystery. Liu Xin replied: "Heaven and earth are handed over and all things are connected, up and down are handed over and their like-mindedness, it is not easy to change, rigidity and softness push each other, yin and yang are the ...... of the Tao."

Ah Yan listened with blinked eyes for a long time, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Sister Xin'er, I can't understand what Brother Zijun said!" ”

Rao is Yang Xin studied literature, but she didn't understand it at all, and sighed in her heart: My culture of Great China is really unfathomable, fortunately, this girl interrupted, otherwise I am afraid that my "god man" will have to go through it. Hurriedly replied to Ah Yan's words: "Zijun's family is very knowledgeable, what he said is a heavenly machine, since Ah Yan can't understand, let's talk about something else!" Seeing that Liu Xin did not object, he successfully changed the topic and asked him why he went to the market for divination.

Liu Xin looked sad and said: "My father was originally Zong Zhengqing, but he offended the powerful people in the DPRK and China, and he was imprisoned for his crimes, so as not to be a concubine, and his family has fallen into the middle of the road since then." ”

"In the middle of the road? Is Brother Zijun's way home broken? Ah Yan asked innocently.

With a snort, Yang Xin laughed, touched Ah Yan's head and replied, "Yes, Brother Zijun's way home is broken, but it will definitely be repaired one day." After saying that, he glanced at Liu Xin meaningfully, and saw that his eyes were full of gratitude.

Liu Xin's pedantic and old-fashioned scholars can't stand Ah Yan's innocence, and there are often jokes, for example, when Liu Xin said that "the family is surrounded by four walls", Ah Yan asked "Is the family rich?" Jasper on all sides? Liu Xin shook his head frequently, and Wen Xuan's strength in front of Ah Yan was much less, but there were more down-to-earth words. Yang Xin thinks that Liu Xin is much cuter like this.

The three of them talked and laughed, Ah Yan couldn't understand most of their conversation, and after a while, she felt bored, and finally found a gap and pulled Yang Xin out for a walk.

A Yan child, everything is novel, pull Yang Xin through the streets and alleys, look east and west, Yang Xin is also very excited, that day like Grandma Liu, was cast a strange look by passers-by, today there is a child by his side, touch and look around, everything seems reasonable.

The two of them once again walked into a narrow alley and looked around, and at some point a man in fancy clothes stood at the mouth of the alley, and he stood quietly and looked at the two of them coldly. When Yang Xin found the people at the entrance of the alley, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart. The man's face was gloomy, his face was bruised and protruding, and he held a thick wooden stick in his right hand, glaring at her viciously, it was that Haiyu!

Yang Xin looked at his fierce appearance, and immediately felt the danger, and before she could scream, the man picked up the wooden stick in his hand and hit her, "Ah! The wooden stick hit her abdomen and back, a sharp pain, Yang Xin ran with a step, how could it be a dead end in front of her, the Hai You Yin and compassion stick followed, seeing that another stick was about to fall, only to hear a scream, it turned out that Ah Yan by virtue of his small size, suddenly ran to hold his hand holding the wooden stick and bit it down, that Hai You was in pain, the wooden stick fell, lifted her and smashed it against the wall, Ah Yan's head suddenly bled out.

"Yan'er!" Yang Xin wanted to save, but it was too late, Ah Yan had already been knocked out, resentful in her heart, she didn't dare to delay at all, she took advantage of this gap, flashed outward, and was about to pick up the wooden stick on the ground, when suddenly her hair was braided and caught, and with a snap, she was slapped the face, and the corners of her mouth oozed blood, and it hurt hotly. Immediately after that, a few slaps came, and the unbearable insult was clear in the ears: "Little slut, bitch, can't you?" Do you have what it takes? I'll break your mouth to see how you can ......"

Yang Xin's ears were buzzing, her mind was dizzy, her feet were weak, and she fell to the ground. Yang Xin was in pain, and instinctively curled up, but one kick after another, kicked at her back and abdomen......

I don't know how long it took, when she opened her eyes, she found that Liu Xin and the shopkeeper were driving her, and the other was carrying Ah Yan......

It turned out that seeing that the time for dinner had arrived, it was time to take the stage to tell the story, but Yang Xin did not return for a long time, and the golden shopkeeper was displeased, so he called the shopkeeper to accompany the anxious Liu Xin to find the two back. At this moment, seeing that his cash cow had not yet earned money for him, but he was beaten by this, and he had to spend money to hire a doctor, his heart suddenly became angry. When he knew that it was Haiyu who he drove away, he was even more angry, and immediately called a group of nurses and told him, so that he could dissipate his anger. Hearing that the doctor said that Yang Xin was just a skin injury, and it would be fine to recuperate for a few days, the gloom in his heart dissipated, and he turned his face and stood on the side of Yang Xin's bed with a smile and said: "The little lady is good to recuperate, and when you are well, I will talk about books, and it will not be in the way!" Out of the way! I've arranged for someone to make sure that the person who hurts you won't end well, hum! I, Jin Xinxin, dare to move! ”

Yang Xin listened to the words of the golden shopkeeper, she lived for almost 30 years, the first time she was abused and beaten, the pain in her body, the grievances in her heart, she couldn't vent at all, and at this moment she saw someone standing up for herself, although she faintly felt that something was wrong, but at the moment her whole body was in pain, her heart was angry, and she couldn't speak, so she hummed softly, wishing everything was a dream, closing her eyes and falling asleep.

In her sleep, Yang Xin and Teacher Liang and Teacher Xu soaked in the hot spring water with rose petals, the light fragrance of flowers, Yang Xin said, not only now, we have to accompany each other until retirement, and grow old together......

When I woke up, I found that Ah Yan was already waiting in front of the bed, and when I saw that she was awake, I was busy and happily brought rice porridge. Yang Xin touched her head, remembering that she was smashed against the wall, so she didn't feel distressed, and asked pityingly, "Yan'er is okay?" Does your head still hurt? ”

Ah Yan shook her head and said, "That wicked man is so fierce, fortunately it's just a small wound, it's already medicated, and it doesn't hurt anymore!" ”

Yang Xin calmed down at this time, her cheeks were still swollen, but it didn't seem to hurt so much, there were bruises everywhere on her body, but there was a little coolness in the pain, thinking that Ah Yan had applied medicine to herself, although she was beaten in vain, but remembering that day she stood up, obviously she was still a child, but she ate and lived, and took good care of her everywhere, which made her feel warm in a strange world.

For several days, the golden shopkeeper came to greet him every day during dinner, and every time he came, he said, "The little lady is good to live and recuperate, and when you are well, she will talk about books, and she will not get in the way, and she will not get in the way." But the more this is the case, the more guilt Yang Xin feels in her heart. As soon as the swelling on his face subsided, he couldn't wait to tell the story on stage to repay the concern of the gold shopkeeper.

When she paced up the high platform from the backyard, looking at the full house of diners and the golden shopkeeper standing under the stage with a smile, she was inevitably a little nervous, but she couldn't live up to his trust. So I quickly screened the stories in my heart: the supremacy of ancient kingship, the story of the emperor can't be said, as for the historical story, the history I read is thousands of years later, not necessarily true, mythological stories? The first time I appeared on stage, it didn't seem to be new enough. Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign? Thinking of this, he immediately had a plan, adjusted his breath, looked at everyone, and said:

In the distance of the sea, the water is as blue as the sky, and at the same time so clear that it is like the brightest star. In the deepest part of the sea, there grew the most exotic trees and plants, their branches and leaves so soft that they shook at the slightest movement of the water, and all the fish, big and small, swam among them like birds in the sky. The people of the sea lived there, and the deepest part of the sea was the place where the palace of the Sea King was located...... The ruler of this palace was the old mother of the Sea King, who had six beautiful little granddaughters, the youngest of whom was not only the most beautiful but also the most fantastical......

Not bad! It's the story of the Little Mermaid. Yang Xin thought of the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign countries and immediately had an idea, and slowly told the story of the little mermaid, listening to her subdued tone, the listener followed her rhythm, the sound was immersive, and they felt the magic of the seabed together, and experienced the sadness of the little mermaid's pursuit of love and becoming human, and finally becoming a bubble. When the story ended, the diners shed tears one after another, and even a smiling golden shopkeeper secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and Yang Xin's hanging heart was put down.

For several months, every time it was time to eat, the inn was full, and even there were often people who came to listen to Yang Xin's storytelling. Yang Xin also tried various styles, Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, Zheng Renmai, the fox and the crow, the wolf came, Tian Ji horse racing, lying on the salary to taste the guts...... From love stories to ancient sages, from fairy tales to philosophical stories, after each story is finished, you have to add your own preaching, talk about the wonderful, always win a full house, the city middle school, rich businessmen, have become Yang Xin's iron fans, as long as Yang Xin talks, regardless of the cold and snow, rain or shine, rain or shine, often throw a lot of money, please Yang Xin to tell one more story, but Yang Xin knows people's hearts, how can they easily satisfy them, always predict what will happen next, please listen to the next decomposition! Even Xiao Shi, the county lieutenant in the city, sent people to invite Yang Xin to the mansion many times, but Yang Xin refused. The golden shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear, as long as Yang Xin's requests were met one by one. And Liu Xin not only listened carefully every day, but also recorded it on the wooden tablet, for which Yang Xin was also distressed, for fear that his inadvertently caused historical chaos, and he no longer dared to tell the story of the Han Dynasty.

On this day, it snowed heavily in the city, Yang Xin took Ah Yan to the door to build a snowman on a whim, and the two were having fun when they were suddenly interrupted by a noise. I saw that the shopkeeper was viciously pushing a sick man who was dressed in tatters and bent to the ground, and a little boy of four or five years old next to the sick man cried wow, only to see the sick man get up with difficulty, dragging a stump leg, and holding the boy in his arms and comforting him.

Yang Xin looked angry, and was about to teach the shopkeeper why he was so unreasonable, but he turned his head and saw the sick man with the stump on the ground, but it was Haiyou who beat him that day. The man who was so arrogant that day had broken one leg at this moment, but on a snowy day, he was only wearing a single coat, which was still full of holes, and his face was haggard, and then he looked at the little boy, whose little face was red from the cold, and his nose and tears were shivering.

Yang Xin had mixed feelings in her heart, she should have been a hated person, but seeing him fall into such a miserable situation, she was also uncomfortable in her heart: if it weren't for my appearance, the golden shopkeeper would not have driven him away, he would not have been angry and beat me, and he would not have been broken by the golden shopkeeper and ended up in such a field...... Thinking of this, she took out a golden cake from the cloth bag, bent down and handed it over, but completely forgot the pain she had suffered.

Na Haiyou's eyes lit up when he saw the golden cake, and he said vaguely: "Thank you, benefactor, thank you, ......" stretched out his hand to take it, raised his eyes to Yang Xin, and his heart was cold, and he quickly withdrew his hand and turned his head, his eyes were full of hatred.

Yang Xin saw him like this, he was not resentful, he thought that if he hadn't appeared out of thin air, he wouldn't have robbed him of his job, although he beat himself, but he ended up so much because he was competitive for a while, so he comforted lightly: "Sir, don't worry, the matter has come to this, a little money and silver, I hope to accept it, the weather is cold, and the child is innocent." ”

Thinking that his poor child was hungry and cold at the moment, how could Haiyu still take care of his self-esteem, snorted coldly, took the golden cake, stumbled to his feet, pulled the boy, and walked away without looking back.

Ah Yan looked at their backs and couldn't help scolding: "Sister Xin'er, this wicked person is very bad, he beat us so hard last time, why do you still want to help him, you look at him like that, thank you won't say, I don't know what to do!" ”

Yang Xin didn't feel at ease at all, smiled lightly, and said: "Oh, Yan'er actually knows how to use idioms, it seems that her knowledge has grown in the past few days!" I'll let Zijun give you another make-up lesson later! ”

Hearing this, Ah Yan hurriedly shook her head and shouted, "Don't!" "Fly and flee into the store.

It turned out that Yang Xin arranged for Liu Xin to teach Ah Yan to read and write every day, and in the face of the teacher Liu Xin, who was one-eyed and unsmiling, Ah Yan was both respectful and afraid, and the time for reading every day was like going to the execution ground, Yang Xin couldn't help shaking her head and sighing: "Rotten wood is difficult to carve!" ”

On this day, Yang Xin was telling a story on stage, and suddenly saw two strangely dressed people coming down from the stage, only to see that both of them had high noses and white skin, their eyes were sunken deeply, their faces were full of beards, they were wearing leather jackets on their upper bodies, and their lower bodies were very fancy, obviously Hu people. Every time I hear something wonderful, I applaud loudly. Yang Xin's eyes were gradually attracted by them, and she sighed in her heart when she looked at it. I saw one of them, wearing a fancy white cloth robe with some tassels on the edges, and then looked closely at the canvas turned out to be a painting, although it was very blurry, but if you carefully distinguished, you could still see that it was an inky black path, Yang Xin only felt a little familiar, and pointed at the person and said: "That prince, he looks similar to this honorable driver, handsome and extraordinary, can you please turn around and let everyone see." The Hu man turned around according to his words, Yang Xin screamed "ah", everyone didn't know why, Yang Xin hurriedly said: "Everyone drink a glass of wine, the next will be more exciting." As he spoke, he jumped off the stage, and behind the Hu man's robe was a small stone arch bridge and a small stone house with flowing water. Yang Xin rushed to him and said excitedly: "Honorable, dare to ask who painted your robe?" The Hu man also seemed to be frightened by Yang Xin's excited appearance, and before he could speak, Yang Xin asked repeatedly: "Zunjia, who painted the clothes for you!" ”

The Hu man looked at the painting on his robe, and laughed loudly: "You also think it looks good when you bought it in the market?" ”

"Bazaar? Which bazaar? Who sells it? Yang Xin's impatient appearance seemed to frighten him, and the Hu man was obviously a little displeased, his brows furrowed, and he hesitated for a while before saying, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Yang Xin hurriedly calmed down and said slowly: "Don't blame you, the painting on your robe seems to be made by my old man, I have been separated from her for many years, and there is no news." Yang Xin paused, bowed down and said, "Please tell me where to buy this robe, thank you very much!" ”

"Jinan City County!"

As soon as the words fell, Yang Xin rushed into the backyard and shouted: "Liu Xin, Ah Yan, come quickly!" The two of them had never seen Yang Xin so flustered, so they hurriedly trotted over, and the golden shopkeeper also ran over, "Collect the luggage, let's go to Jinan City and County, now, immediately!" ”

The golden shopkeeper hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop, "No! No! What will I do if you are gone! ”

Yang Xin was anxious at the moment, and said loudly and urgently: "Get out of the way, don't stop me!" ”

The golden shopkeeper didn't speak, nor did he withdraw his hand, just didn't let her go, Yang Xin was angry and begged: "The golden shopkeeper, you raise your noble hand, this year thanks to your care, I really have something important, you let me go, okay?" ”

The gold shopkeeper sneered a few times and said, "Where are you and my gold, why do you want to leave?" ”

Hearing his words, Yang Xin was angry from his heart, but he didn't want to have more branches at this moment, knowing that the businessman was valuing profits, he forcibly suppressed his anger, and said kindly: "Jin Shopkeeper, you dissipate your anger, today I have to go, I will give you the accommodation fee that you have taken care of for more than a year, and you don't want to see diners come to embarrass your inn." ”

Listening to her half-pleading and half-threatening words, although the golden shopkeeper was angry, he knew that what Yang Xin said was not to scare him, there was an endless stream of diners who came every day, Yang Xin had a high reputation, if she was in a hurry, it was very likely that something terrible would happen, and her heart was a little loose, but the cash cow in her hand was not willing to let go easily, and she snorted and did not speak.

Yang Xin continued: "I can leave all the wooden coffins that have recorded the stories of the past year or so, and you can ask someone to study the ......."

The golden shopkeeper's brain turned quickly, and when he heard this, he calculated in his heart, and finally recovered some losses, immediately changed his face, and said with a smile: "Don't blame the little lady, don't blame it, the contemptible people are just a little anxious and reluctant to let you leave, since you are determined to leave, the contemptible people will prepare a car for you." ”

Yang Xin looked at the person who changed his face so quickly, and couldn't help but get tired in his heart, and he felt disgusted with this inn at the moment, and he didn't want to stay longer for a moment. After a while, Ah Yan and Liu Xin had already sorted out their luggage, and Boss Jin stood there with a smile and handed Ah Yan a bamboo basket, which was full of all kinds of food, but Yang Xin didn't take it or look at him. The golden shopkeeper hurriedly apologized: "Don't be angry anymore, the little lady is contemptible and wrong." The car was waiting outside the backyard door, all prepared as the little lady said before. The road is far away, and the contemptible people prepare a little thin food, and I hope that the little lady will not blame the contemptible people again, and when the little lady finishes her work, I implore the little lady to come back. Yang Xin watched him change back to his kind and sincere appearance, thinking that he had been taken care of by him for more than a year, and his disgust disappeared a lot, nodding, motioning for Ah Yan to take the food box, and gave him the ten rolls of wooden coffins recorded in these days, and then got into the car in his "reluctant" gaze.
