Chapter 04: Encounter
"Sugar gourd, fresh sugar gourd." "Sharpen the scissors, the kitchen knife~" "The two of us brothers went south and north, and today we are in Jianye to sell art, and I also invite all the fathers and villagers to hold a money field if they have money, and hold a personal field if they have no money!" Xiao Liang! Give you a few heel turns. โยทยทยท
Qin Xiya was led by the bell and disappeared in the torrent of sounds.
Once upon a time, when I was in a school for the blind, my teacher once taught an allusion in a Buddhist scripture called "Only one scoop of three thousand weak water is taken".
The voice was the three thousand weak waters, and the scoop that was covered was firmly grasped by him with his heart.
"Jingle bells."
For the blind, although they can't see, they can hear the change in mood from everyone's tone.
The "tone" of the bell is the ringtone.
She wrote in her palm again: "There are so many people." โ
The blind man asked, "Will you not be used to it?" โ
"No, it's going to be lively." She wrote, and then asked, "Buy two sugar gourds?" โ
The blind man flipped his money bag, his expression unchanged, and he was thinking about the expenses of the past few days.
[Oh no, there's not much money. ใ
But...
"Shop, how much are two sugar gourds?" He spoke.
After paying the money, the bell tone is more brisk.
Qin Xiya also ate one, the sweetness of the sugar coating and the sourness of the hawthorn were mixed in his mouth, but it was a little appetizing.
The two continued to experience the customs in Jianye City, although they couldn't see it, but just listening,
At least... You don't have to listen to the sound of a knife coming out of its sheath.
He was thinking about it, but the bell stopped moving.
"What's wrong? Bell. The blind man asked.
[I saw a good-looking hairpin.] She replied as she wrote.
"Well, then you point to the hairpin."
The bell did so,
The blind man politely asked, "Shopkeeper, how much does this hairpin cost?" โ
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, although my hairpin is agarwood inlaid with gold and silver mussel beads, but it only sells for five taels of silver, do you want to buy it?" The tone of the store is neither salty nor light.
Qin Xiya touched the money bag and counted it, the broken silver bumped and bumped, and it was counted again, five taels and three taels, and it was only two taels.
The blind man looked embarrassed and discussed with the bell: "Why don't we change the hairpin?" โ
The bell didn't make a fuss, but just wrote in the palm of his hand: "It's too expensive, it's not cost-effective, let's go." โ
"Okay." The blind man put away his purse and planned to leave with the bell.
But the shopkeeper's voice became yin and yang.
"Hey, what a novelty, a blind man with a dumb man, and he still wants to buy a hairpin, what do you want to buy it for? The dumb can't say how beautiful this hairpin is, and the blind can't see it, what's the matter? Use a hairpin to defend yourself? But you little dumb also has a few postures, and self-defense is also right, the province was robbed by which young master Kuo, lost his innocence, if you can't afford it, hurry up, don't delay my business here, get out of here. โ
The bell's hand grabbed Qin Xiya suddenly, she couldn't help but tremble when she thought of that day, and got close to the blind man, and a few warm drops fell on her fingertips.
Qin Xiya held the bell's hand and soothed: "I'm here, don't be afraid." โ
He pressed the tip of his cane against the crack in the brick, put his thumb on the handle of the cane, and was about to unsheath it to open the stall, when he heard a loud shout.
"I'll tear your mouth out if you say another word! Do you have a conscience when you bully people on the street? It was a middle-aged man who was upset, full of anger, and then scolded, "Fuck you." โ
The shop was uncharacteristically disgusting, flattering.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Yang? Alas, the small one said the wrong thing, and it should be beaten. As he spoke, there was a solid snapping sound.
"Fuck off, get out of the stall." The middle-aged man was not angry, "Apologize to the two children, numb." โ
"Hey, what you taught me is that I'm sorry for the two masters, Lord Yang, the little ones are going to get out." The stall owner stopped talking, lowered his head and muttered inaudible, but left after closing the stall.
"What do you see, it's all scattered, you don't do business?" At this point, the middle-aged man's tone softened a little.
The onlookers dispersed.
However, Qin Xiya heard something from the conversations of the people.
"Lord Yang is still so old-fashioned." "That's not, after all, it's Lord Yang Yunhu Yang, how bad will it be for someone who can help the poor?" "Mrs. Yang and Miss Yang look a lot better." "Shut up, you."
"Little brother, in Xia Yang Yunhu, we Jianye only have a few scum scum, don't be like him with this kind of broken mouth, it's really embarrassing for us Jianye people, what's the matter." Yang Yunhu said to Qin Xiya amicably.
"Yang Yunhu? Lord Yang? Qin Xiya heard a little.
Yang Yunhu, the admiral of the Navy of the Great Qi Dynasty, the military attache of Zhengyipin, and the well-known Zhongliang, once angrily reprimanded the son of today for appointing a traitor, and the reputation was excellent, but it was also because of the angry reprimand of the son of today, which provoked the Son of Heaven to not come to the stage, so he was removed from the position of the commander of the navy and transferred back to Jianye.
"It's under it, don't be restrained, don't we all be the same when you take off your official uniform, aren't you two ears and a nose and a mouth?" Yang Yunhu is still so kind, "I don't think the two of you are like locals, they also go south and north to beg for a living, right?" But meeting is fate, do you want to come to my house for a meal? I'm going to apologize to you for the stall owner. โ
Qin Xiya smiled awkwardly: "Lord Yang, we understand your kindness. โ
"That's a pity." He really felt sorry when he arrived, and then the conversation changed, "But, little brother, no matter how good your skills are, it's not good to be on the street, right?" โ
When Qin Xiya heard this, he was stunned for a moment,
He saw that he had martial arts.
But... How can you see it?
Slightly puzzled, Qin Xiya stepped on it, and then he understood.
The scabbard did go into the crack in the brick, but it also poked a hole, pulled out the scabbard, and brought up a few pieces of rubble.
"Okay, since the little brother is unwilling, then let's meet again, Yunniang, Tao'er, let's continue shopping." "Yes, sir." "Got it, Dad."
The blind man arched his hand: "Thank you, Lord Yang." โ
"Little things, little things." Lord Yang didn't look back, waved his hand, and walked away.
A family of three left like this.
The blind man took the hand of the bell and whispered softly, "I will be by your side." โ
"Hmm." With some crying, the bell wiped away her tears and wrote on his hand again.
"You're not going to leave me, are you?"
Qin Xiya was stunned for a moment, and it was difficult to speak, but he nodded lightly.
He said in his heart: At least not now.
Then he said, "Okay, let's go to dinner, it's time to eat after a morning of shopping." โ
The blind man diverted the subject, and the bell snorted softly, "um", and led him to find a roadside stall.
The face was fragrant, and just as the two were about to sit down, Qin Xiya heard a greeting.
"Hey, blind boy, you're also here to build a business? Bell girl, it's been a long time, why don't you two go eat something with us? Foolish, you also take the bell girl to open the meat? โ
Qin Xiya thought for a while, and still asked, "Ying Yuanxin?" โ
"Hey, you can hear it, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you also took the oath sticker?" Ying Yuanxin came to Qin Xiya's side, hooked his shoulders and put his back on his back, and finally leaned into the blind man's ear and whispered.
Ying Yuanxin is also the killer of the Bloody Clothes Building, and the two have cooperated before, so they met.
"Which swear-to-kill sticker?" The blind man asked.
"Kill Yang Yunhu." Ying Yuanxin said in a low voice.
"Oh? Oh..." The blind man changed his tone twice, and then asked, "Do you have a treat?" โ
"Hey, how can I be alone, but it's okay for you and the bell girl, but you also saved my life." Ying Yuanxin asked again, "Walking?" โ
"Walking." The blind man nodded.
