At this time, the bald head said to everyone: "Thank you for the reward, this is the end of today, please be early tomorrow!" ”

I brought the gong to the bald head and waited for him to give me the money.

He looked at me and said, "How's it going, have you learned?" ”

I nodded happily and replied, "I learned." ”

He replied, "The next time you perform, just follow my example and guarantee that you will make more money." ”

I replied, "Okay, I'll do what you do today." ”

He said, "Is it time to pay tuition?" ”

I nodded.

He nodded and turned to leave.

I hurried over to stop him.

He stared at me and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I said, "You forgot to give me the money." ”

He looked at me for a while, and suddenly said to me viciously, "You still want to share the money?" If it weren't for me today, you wouldn't have earned a penny. The money is worth this gong, I don't want the gong, I will sell it to you. Also, what I taught you today is counted in this money, is it true that you still refuse to pay tuition after learning something, how can there be such a truth in the world? ”

I didn't say anything, just stared at him.

After looking at me for a while, he picked up the money for a meal and a night's stay and put it in my hand, and said, "This is your money." ”

I stared at him in amazement, speechless.

He looked at me and said, "Don't be too little, you can't attract people without this gong, it's invaluable to you, and the words I say today are nothing short of a word to you, and others want to learn from me and I don't want to teach, so you have to do it yourself." With that, he turned and left.

Unconvinced, I silently followed him. I'm going to see where he lives, and when I find his home, I'll make a fuss with him.

"Hanhan, don't follow me." He turned back to me and said to me.

I don't care, he goes, I go. He stops, I stop.

"Alright, alright, you don't follow me anymore." He said impatiently. After saying that, he picked up two more small coins and threw them to me.

I looked down and picked up the money, but when I looked up, it was gone.

I was in a hurry and quickly glanced around. Just down the street, I saw a smoke shop, and I saw the curtain of the smoke house shaking. I immediately knew that he had gone to this tobacco shop, and that he was an addict, and that such a person was the most difficult to deal with, and everyone had to avoid it when they saw it, and I couldn't afford to provoke him. I could only consider myself unlucky, so I had to leave in a huff.

However, I was comforted by the fact that I did learn a lot from him.

Stop, this point still can't satisfy me, I said fiercely to the door of the smoke house: "Shameless, you took my money, you have to help me get sick and prevent disasters, hum!" ”

It was as if I really saw him bedridden, unable to eat, unable to drink, and suffering from infarction, and his mood suddenly became unusually happy.

That's when I'm satisfied.

I put the money in my pocket, put the gong in my baggage, and walked forward with my head held high.

I didn't go to a restaurant to have a full meal, and I didn't go into a hotel. I went to the river, drank the water, and ate the dry food in my baggage. While there was no one by the river, I took out the money and wrapped it in the waistband of my trousers, and lay down under the bridge by the river, where I would spend the night.

"Bang bang!"

I stood under the gloomy sky, struck the gong in my hand, and shouted loudly: "Star, look, look at the strange here!" ”

Hearing my shouts and gongs, the people who came and went at the entrance of the market immediately gathered around.

Today, I didn't go to the vegetable market yesterday. I'm worried that I'll meet a bald head again, so today's performance will be in vain again, after all, he is a smoker I can't mess with. If I hadn't given him the money, he'd be such a smart and shameless man who would have thought of a way to clean me up.

So, I chose the vegetable market here in the West Gate to perform.

I shouted like a bald head and gathered more people here. When the time was almost complete, I stopped beating the gong and boasted like a god like a bald head. Once people's curiosity was piqued by me, I began to perform my knife throwing stunt.

Today, I'm blindfolded and shooting a knife into the bull's-eye.

The target is still the wall on the side of the street, and I still draw a circle on the wall with a stone and a dot in the middle as I did yesterday. I'm also going to use my fast knife to finish today's performance without a slow knife.

I put a black cloth over my eyes.

I saw that as soon as my hand was raised, with a "bang" sound, the flying knife was aimed at the bull's-eye.

Immediately I heard a tidal wave of applause and applause.

I was so happy that I immediately exclaimed, "Look, I'm going to send out a second throwing knife, and this second throwing knife will glove that knife to the bull's-eye, and if it deviates even the slightest, you don't have to give me a reward." ”

"Good!"

I heard people responding to me loudly.

I was so excited that I said again, "Look, I'm going to go under the knife." ”

With that, I waved my hand again.

With a "bang", the flying knife grazed the bull's-eye, and the flying knife was nailed to the bull's-eye.

I heard the applause and applause, and I knew that my throwing knife was not missing the slightest.

When the applause and applause stopped, I shouted again: "It's time to really perform a stunt, keep your eyes open and watch!" ”

"Good!" The crowd shouted and applauded.

When the applause stopped, I heard a different kind of laughter—not an animal voice, but a nodding voice.

Without undoing the blindfold and looking at it, I said in a loud voice, "I'm going to shoot the third knife into the middle of the two knives, and that's what I'm going to do today." With that, I raised my hand.

With a "bang", the third knife was nailed between the two knives without bragging. I knew that this round of applause and applause would culminate because my stunt was unique.

No applause, no applause. I was amazed and hurriedly lifted my blindfolded cloth up.

So, I saw an angry scene.

A tall, burly, black-faced man was holding his shirt and receiving the money he had given me in front of the onlookers. The nodding and huffing laughter was made by him. I know he's robbing me of money that's rightfully mine.

"Hey!" I yelled, "You can't do this, it's my money." ”

Before I could finish speaking, he had already collected the money for my hard work and was about to go out.

I hurried over and grabbed him.

He turned to me and gave me a sneer, "Huh? ”

I was not afraid, and I said, "This money is mine." ”

He glared at me with puffed eyes and said, "Yours? ”

I replied, "Yes." ”

He said, "If you say it's yours, then you call it promise, and if you can say yes, the money is yours, and I'll give it all to you." ”

I don't say yes. But I still didn't let go, I said, "This is my hard-earned money from hard work, this is what everyone sees, you can't get something for nothing, you can't do shameless things." ”

He said: "Lao Tzu will be shameless today, see what you can do to me." ”

He glared at the people with his eyes puffed out, and they immediately turned and walked away.

When I saw this, I hurried to get the money from the placket of his clothes.

He twisted and pushed me to the ground. Evil eyes glared at me, and his face was full of expressions that wanted to eat me.

He said to me: "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you up, do you have your fingerprints on this money?" Is your name on this money? If you don't agree, and there is no fingerprint on this money, and there is no name on it, do you dare to say that it is yours? You still dare to come and rob Lao Tzu's money, have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, huh? Do you know what Lao Tzu does? ”

I can't answer.

He replied himself: "Lao Tzu is a crooked person who eats iron and spits fire, and you dare to provoke Lao Tzu if you specialize in eating this bowl of rice, huh?" You're a fool! ”

When I saw that he was so vicious, I put my hand on the throwing knife at my waist, and my eyes were fixed on him.

When he saw it, he came over and gave me a loud slap, and after that, he said viciously: "Han Bao, you want to kill me?" ”

I didn't say anything.

He lifted up his head, pointed to his throat, and said, "Here's a knife, come, see if I'm afraid!" ”

I touched the beaten face, glared at him angrily, and didn't send the knife out of him.

He pointed to his chest again and said viciously: "Then let's take a knife here, isn't your flying knife very powerful, come, see if Lao Tzu can hide." ”

Anger welled up in my heart, and I glared at him, my pupils slowly constricting, and my hand clenched the throwing knife at my waist.
