thirty-one

I don't know what's wrong, but business in the store has been unusually bleak lately.

Now, a shop like mine that deals in antique musical instruments is getting worse and worse. Most of the young people play Western musical instruments, and the worst ones are to hold a small ukulele and pluck it indiscriminately, making bursts of beautiful and refreshing melodies.

Therefore, the market competitiveness of these heavy and low-grade guqins in the store is getting smaller and smaller.

"Miss, that Linfan doesn't seem to have been here for a few days!" With a feather duster, Lin'er swept the dust here and there, looking absent-minded.

It seems that this girl is still thinking about Zhang Linfan, who will come to trouble from time to time.

I poured a glass of Thousand Days Drunk, and I drank it slowly while looking out the door. I haven't seen him for a long time since I was separated from Taishan that day, and I don't know what he's busy with. Listening to Lin'er, his work is complex and diverse, and I am afraid that I am afraid that I will be stumped by something.

"And the face said, you hold the guy every day, blocking the door, which one is not afraid of death, dare to hang out without anything?" I glanced at her, only to see that she was already standing outside the door with a feather duster in her hand, looking left and right, raising her hand from time to time to shield herself from the sun, or standing on tiptoe to look into the distance.

It's so cute and cute!

"Hey, some people, they really don't eat and talk, just say it, you are Cao Cao?"

I was putting a glass of wine into my mouth when Lin'er's voice came in, and then she jumped and pulled Zhang Linfan, who had a cold face, and walked in.

Looking at him, I felt a black and slimy qi enveloping his body, making his complexion very bad, what is going on?

"You guy hasn't been here for a long time, I miss you a little!" Letting him sit on the couch, Lin'er happily ran to the back hall, probably to make tea and get wine.

"Linfan, borrow your left hand to take a look!"

I put down my glass, stared at him faintly, and reached out my hand.

Nodding his head and reaching over, Zhang Linfan's face showed a slight embarrassment.

I casually walked the spiritual power around his body before I was relieved.

"You're injured, aren't you?" withdrew his hand, and I also withdrew my spiritual power, "In a few days, the black qi on your body will disappear, and you can wait for that spider silk to melt!"

"You know that, too?" he gave me a rare smile and stared at me blankly.

"The New Book of the South" has clouds, mountain spiders, giant spiders, as big as wheels, and its silk can stop bleeding!" Without waiting for me to answer, Lin'er walked over with two wine jugs and two wine glasses, "If you want to talk about this mountain spider, how much does Lin Fan know?"

She actually knows a lot, but she deliberately provoked the conversation to squeeze Zhang Linfan!

Now in this year, science and technology have reached a speed of thousands of miles a day, and even the gods in the sky and the palace kings in the underworld have been more or less affected, not to mention that these mountain spirits and earth monsters have disappeared, and those who have disappeared have disappeared, and those who have hid have hidden, and the most terrifying thing is that some of them are already timid and fragile, and they have long not known when they will be extinct!

"I've only heard one story about this mountain spider!" Zhang Linfan drank a glass of wine, put down the wine glass, his face seemed to have improved a little, and his voice was clearer than when he entered the door. Legend has it that there was a man named Feiman who was walking in the mountains, and was targeted by a mountain spider, and hung down a large web woven like cloth, and wanted to catch him, but just when he was about to fall into the net, he suddenly took out a bow and arrow from behind his back, and shot the big spider back, and he found that the big spider web was like a cloth, so he cut off a few feet, put it away, and thought that if he was injured in a battle or something, he could use it to bandage, but he never thought that as long as he wrapped it up, the blood could be stopped immediately!

He said so much in one breath, which is the first time we have realized it now.

"Oops!" Lin'er clapped her hands violently, her face full of surprise, "I didn't expect you to know so much, but this is just a story after all, this mountain spider is not as simple as everyone imagined!"

"I heard that this thing also likes to eat people!" Zhang Linfan seemed to agree with her words, so he echoed casually, "It's a ferocious species!"

"Hey, miss, the world still has such a misunderstanding about them, and I don't know where these legends come from, but in the "Southern New Scripture", there is no such thing!"

As soon as she heard what he said, Lin'er was a little unhappy, staring at me with a kind of hope in her eyes.

Shaking my head helplessly, I poured myself another glass of wine, and said with a faint smile: "Linfan, are you interested in listening to what I know, the story of the mountain spider?"

"Yes!" After simply spitting out the word, Zhang Linfan's eyes turned and he chased after him, "I really want to hear it!"

Holding the wine glass in my hand and turning around, I looked at Lin'er, lowered my head and smiled: "It was the time when the spring flowers were blooming in the spring, and it was also the tenth year that Lin'er and I opened the store in Lin'an!"

Lin'an City, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty of China. It is located in the urban area of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. After Jin destroyed the Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong promoted Hangzhou to Lin'an Mansion in the third year of Jianyan (1129) as a place to travel. In the eighth year of Shaoxing (1138), Lin'an was officially designated as the capital. Due to the Southern Song Dynasty's attempt to restore the ancestral foundation in the north, Lin'an has never had a major expansion, maintaining the layout of Yuanzhou City.

And the story of this mountain spider probably came from there!

......

How many years have been open in the blink of an eye, if I don't sit down and calculate carefully, I probably don't remember.

It's not that business is booming, it's not that Lin'er and I don't change our appearances, but that no one is suspicious.

Actually, my instrumental music shop is very inconspicuous, but it is only opened in the corner of an alley in the south of the city - the store is only ten zhang square, a few red sandalwood sticks pasted on the wall, on which are placed all kinds of stringed instruments, large and small; a bright and secretly carved rosewood display case, standing on one side, lined with various colors of sheng pipes and flutes; there are some decorative ornaments scattered on the wall, and on the terrace and side porch under the eaves outside the door, there are a few potted plants that are unknown but blooming brightly.

As some people say, it is obviously a shop that sells musical instruments, but when passing by, they are often attracted by the rich fragrance and mellow aroma of wine wafting out of the faint drift, so that people do not know what is sold in this store, so they will pick up the curtain to take a look, and at this look, they will unconsciously dig out their pockets, and how much will buy something. The first is that there are very few musical instruments in the store, and the second is that you can have more mushrooms for a while and ask for some wine that is nowhere to buy in the market.

The reason why I opened the shop in such a different place is because there is a well in the backyard, and the water of this well is very different from the ordinary one, and it is very similar to the spring water I use to make Baihua Brew and Thousand Days Drunk, so even if the location is more secluded, it does not matter.

"Princess, what are you thinking?" Lin'er held a plate of lotus root powder osmanthus sugar cake in her hand, and came to me while eating, "What have you been staring at the Guangfeng Pavilion opposite!"

Said to be opposite, in fact, this Guangfeng Pavilion is on the left side of my store, the name is elegant but it is an out-and-out fireworks building.

Leaning on the counter, I yawned lazily, half of my face was covered by a fan, and my eyes followed the pedestrians on the street, enjoying the different style brought by such an ordinary day.

If you want to say that the Guangfeng Pavilion, opposite me, it is really a stark contrast: my small shop is so ordinary that it can be said to be simple, and the Guangfeng Pavilion is magnificent and beautiful, and every day is full of friends, singing and dancing, so lively!

Not to mention that there are only two people in my store, Lin'er and me, and they always look lazy and uninhibited, how can they compare to the fireworks building is full of charming, charming and gentle beauties, all kinds of girls?

It is rumored that this place is not only very popular with dignitaries and wealthy merchants, but even the emperor of the current dynasty has made many "private visits to micro-services". It can be seen that its charm is great and its power is strong!

No, the girls in the Guangfeng Pavilion are waving the fragrant and charming handkerchiefs in their hands, and they are showing off their demeanor to solicit business from the passers-by! Even in this cold spring season, their gauze clothes are as thin as cicada wings, and occasionally a faint spring color can be seen from the placket, which makes the male guests passing by the roadside confused, and they are planted into the gentle township!

However, after all, there are always surprises in how common it is, and lo and behold, there is not one standing on the side—this master has been staring at the door of my shop with his back to Guangfeng Pavilion for half a cup of tea.

"Why does he keep staring at us?"

Because the man was against the light, Lin'er looked hard, but she still couldn't see his face clearly, only that he was a tall and burly man.

Retracting my gaze, I shook my head, reached out and picked up a piece of lotus root and osmanthus sugar cake from the plate: "Oh, this girl, who is going to die sweetly!"

Lin'er smiled and stuck out her tongue, and was about to say something more when the wind chimes rang on the door, and the sunlight poured in with the curtain opened.

"Miss Day, don't come unharmed?"

No one used to come, and sat directly on my couch, with a somewhat honest and slightly vicissitudes smile on his face.

"Isn't this Fei Ye?" Lin'er finally saw the person clearly, and her face showed joy, "It's really okay to come!" After that, she put the snack in her hand on the table, "Taste it, I made it new in the morning, I remember Fei Ye's favorite sweets!"

His name is Fei Man, and he is a captain of the Yue Cavalry, and he is usually responsible for chasing and searching for some evil people. is proficient in horsemanship, and it is even more important to make a good bow and arrow, and it is not a problem to wear Yang in a hundred steps.

And because of the old-fashioned speech, therefore, people give the nickname "Fei Ye", in fact, the talent has just passed, it is the year!
