Volume 1 Visiting Taiwan Chapter 20 Poor Talk and Laugh
Back in Weichen Lane, Aunt He saw that Xu Changsheng had brought back so many loaches, and immediately said that she would come to help Xu Changsheng deal with it, and it would be good to come and pick it up in the afternoon, Xu Changsheng really couldn't refuse her enthusiasm.
And Xu Changsheng also tried to refuse, and found that Aunt He was really sad after refusing.
I remember that once Aunt He bought a piece of pig's head meat at the market and beckoned Xu Changsheng to eat it together, but Xu Changsheng refused.
When it was time to eat, Xu Changsheng felt bad, so he went over again, and when he walked to the door, he found that Aunt He was wiping her tears while eating, and her eyes were red from crying. In the end, the pot of pig's head meat was sprinkled by Aunt He in the dead of night and fed to wild dogs.
Since then, as long as Aunt He greets her, Xu Changsheng will generally not refuse again.
Back at home, Xu Changsheng thought about it for a while, and decided to send the silver taels owed to Lu Shi now. Otherwise, dragging it like this, Xu Changsheng felt very uncomfortable.
So he took out the remaining two taels of silver from the small piece of wood that cushioned the corner of the table, and put it on his chest.
He never liked the feeling of owing someone something, whether it was money or something else. Now that he has to bear the favor of so many people, it makes him uncomfortable. As for this kind of money, it is natural to pay it back if it can be repaid.
On the way, Xu Changsheng also spent two pennies to buy a flatbread to solve the lunch, which was not delicious, but it was full.
Lotus Lane is in the downstream of the town, because there is a big pond near here, which is full of lotus flowers of all colors, every summer is full of lotus ponds, bursts of fragrance, people in the town will rush to see the lotus, and the lotus blooms the most, the most vivid time, there is a lotus festival.
Every lotus festival, many people will come here to set up stalls, sell all kinds of things, especially at night, people put on brand new clothes, come to play, hold various lanterns to look at the lotus flowers at night, like a lantern festival, lively and extraordinary, people mostly surround several alleys in the vicinity, and the alleys are therefore renamed Lotus Lane.
When he arrived at the private school, he found that the private school had been closed, and even the hut where Lu Shi lived was locked.
I asked the people nearby, and they all said that Lu Shi had left, but I didn't know when he left.
Some said that they got up this morning and found that Lu Shi was gone, and some said that they left yesterday afternoon.
This is also normal, after all, no one has ever wanted to bother with him.
Lu Shi is gone, the whole town is still running, the Nanfeng River is still flowing eastward, and everyone is in a hurry, busy with their own things.
I heard that when Lu Shi first came, although he was down, he was also dressed as a scholar, and he was not as vulgar as a small town person, so he was quite popular with small town girls at that time.
One year, during the Lotus Festival, a woman took a white lotus and expressed her love for Lu Shi in public, but Lu Shi not only folded the white lotus in her hand on the spot, but also said a bunch of ugly words.
Before the woman could finish listening, she hid her face and left, and within a few days she served white silk at home.
At that time, this matter was still quite big in the town, but Lu Shi looked like he didn't care about himself, no matter how the woman's family scolded outside the private school, he ignored it.
After a while, it's gone. After all, the town is not under the jurisdiction of Da Rui, and the only one in the town is still the town's own people.
Unexpectedly, now that he is in his old age, he left the town instead.
Gu Lingqing, who also lived in Lotus Lane, heard Xu Changsheng's voice and immediately ran out to see, carrying a small puppet in his hand, obviously playing with a toy.
Xu Changsheng also saw him, but he didn't want to deal with it, so he had nothing to say. Gu Lingqing kept staring at Xu Changsheng's back, gritting his teeth, his eyes were fierce, and finally looked at the puppet in his hand, as if he had thought of something, his eyes widened, and he ran home with a smoke.
......
The sun was a little sunny, and Tan Xiao deliberately moved the stall to the old locust tree in the town, and lay up, and finally dreamed of a fairy, and just saw a piece of white flowers, and before he could see it clearly, he woke up.
Because the voices of passers-by were a little louder.
Talking and laughing, he looked to the side.
At the end of the road, a young woman in a black tight-fitting practice uniform walked in, with an ordinary appearance, the type that would be submerged if thrown into the crowd, but with a pair of amazingly long legs, there was no muscle knots caused by ordinary people's exercises, but slender and straight, and she looked even taller under the prominence of the practice clothes.
But that's not what makes her most noticeable.
Even more attractive was the giant sword she was carrying.
The sword was large, very large, and a bamboo scabbard enclosed it and carried it on the shoulder, and the sword was higher than the head. If the giant sword is carried by someone like Wu Kui, everyone will think that it is normal.
But now it was a young woman on her back, and it was very scary, so people on the street looked at this strange woman.
Including Tan Xiao, since she found her, Tan Xiao has always squinted at her, as for whether she is looking at her sword or what, it is unknown, until she walks in front of Tan Xiao stall.
Tan Xiao bypassed the stall, trotted to the front of the woman, smiled, first glanced at her face, and then couldn't help but look down, and his mouth did not rest, while saying:
"Come on, little girl, tell your fortune, marriage, opportunities, blessings and misfortunes. If you want to know 500 years, I can do it 500 years. ”
The woman remained expressionless, just looking at him quietly.
Suddenly, Tan Xiao felt his shoulders sink, and the giant sword on the woman's shoulder had been placed on his shoulder, but the blade was towards his neck.
Tan Xiao looked up, and now it was the woman's turn to smile, and she smiled brightly, and asked, "Then the troublesome Taoist chief calculates whether my unsheathed sword can cut your neck." ”
Tan Xiao was not angry, still smiling and slowly raised his left hand, put it on the scabbard, and pushed it out, the woman suddenly felt a huge force attacking, no matter how she pressed it, she could only watch the giant sword slide down.
Tan Xiao said softly: "I forget it, you can't cut me." ”
The woman was silent for a moment, "I want to tell fortunes." ”
Hearing the fortune telling, Tan Xiao immediately came and became interested, beckoning the woman to sit down in front of the stall.
The woman in black sat down, finally put down the giant sword in her hand, and threw it on the ground, startling a large cloud of dust, and the onlookers next to her couldn't help but gasp.
The woman looked around with a cold face, and people avoided it.
Seeing that the people around him were almost scattered, he straightened out the Wuyue crown on his head, cleared his throat, looked at the woman and said, "Poor talk and laugh." ”
The woman stood up from her chair with a "free" look.
Tan Xiao smiled and raised his hand and pressed it a few times, "Sit down, sit down, how can you be as shocked as Miao Yu's old guy." ”
Miao He now became even more convinced of the identity of Tan Xiao, and even dared to shout out the name of his own ancestor so without scruples.
It must be him, and the Taoist priest who has a little bit of Taoism does not dare to use this name.
Then he sat down respectfully, bowed his head and said: "Senior Miao He, I was offended a lot just now, and I hope that my seniors will forgive me." ”
Tan Xiao smiled: "What, where is the domineering just now?"
Miao He was in a cold sweat, if this senior killed her, the family and even the entire sect would not dare to let go of a fart, maybe he would have to send a large number of heavenly treasures to apologize, and he would really die in vain if he died.
Fortunately, Tan Xiao didn't talk about this matter anymore, and said to himself: "I owed your ancestor a favor in the Cangluo Continent back then, and now I happen to meet it, and I just happened to pay it back, so you don't want to participate in the matter of participating in the secret realm of Taiwan this time." This time it's different, it's not something you can touch. And it's not good for you. That's all, let's go, let's go, don't prevent the Taoist from sleeping. ”
Miao He had no choice but to get up and say goodbye, but he still looked puzzled. According to the meaning of talking and laughing, she was told not to go to the secret realm of Taiwan. It seems like something big is going to happen this time,
It's just a big deal, why don't you enter, but you don't say it. Miao He didn't dare to ask.
Tan Xiao looked at Miao He's swinging legs, and the more he looked at it, the more fascinated he became, and muttered: "How can Miao Ang's big old man have such a clever junior, it's strange." ”
......
With loaches, there is no tofu, just like eating without chopsticks.
Use the processed loach, put a few pieces of white and tender tofu, simmer slowly, boil the soup to milky white, and wait until it comes out of the pot, and then sprinkle a few green onions, which is simply delicious in the world. If you eat a few more small dried fish, "goodong", Xu Changsheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he didn't dare to think about it.
I could only speed up my pace, ready to go to Li Tui's house to buy two pieces of tofu.
When he arrived nearby, he saw that there seemed to be customers in the store, Xu Changsheng squinted his eyes, and saw that the clothes and costumes should also be immortal cultivators from outside, and he couldn't help but sigh that there were too many people who had come in the past few days, as if he could meet them anywhere.
When I got closer, I saw a young man pulling Li Ruan's sleeve, Li Ruan's face was slightly cold, but it was not easy to refuse, as for Li Tui, he was entangled by a dignified middle-aged man, and the two of them were sitting in the store drinking.
Suddenly, a young man in shabby clothes came outside, and everyone fell silent.
Li Ruan looked at the person opposite, and said in a cold voice: "Zhao Ying, let go!" After speaking, he didn't care, shook his hand, turned around and ran towards Xu Changsheng.
Xu Changsheng suddenly felt that his body was a little hot, Li Ruan smiled and bent down, Xu Changsheng only felt that there was a large piece of snow white in front of him, and there was a bottomless, dark.
Li Ruan stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Changsheng's slightly messy hair, and said with a smile: "What are you doing here, isn't today's tofu delivered, is it possible that someone said that my tofu here is not delicious, you can let him tell me." ”
Xu Changsheng has always felt that Li Tui's tofu is selling so hot. Most of the reason is that Li Ruan is selling, if it is replaced by Li Tui, a big man who picks his feet, it would be good to be able to sell one piece a day. Every time Xu Changsheng said this, Li Tui would lift Xu Changsheng's ear and ask him if he felt too tired to deliver tofu, and if so, he could take a break. Xu Changsheng immediately shook his head quickly, while Li Ruan covered his mouth and laughed behind him.
Xu Changsheng said: "No, no, it's that I want to come and buy two pieces of tofu and eat them when I cook at night." ”
The more Xu Changsheng spoke, the quieter his voice became, and he lowered his head when he said it.
Li Ruan chuckled, went to fetch two pieces of tofu, wrapped them in paper, Xu Changsheng was just about to pay for it, Li Ruan's eyes widened, and he pretended to be angry and said: "Don't take money, if you give money, my sister will let my father not let you send tofu in the future." ”
Xu Changsheng had no choice but to take out the hand that was stretched into his chest, with a helpless expression, Li Ruancai smiled and said: "This is good, this is what my sister gave you to eat, you can't waste it, you must finish eating." ”
Xu Changsheng took the tofu, thanked him, and hurriedly said goodbye, Xu Changsheng felt that if he didn't leave, that Zhao Yao's eyes were about to burst into flames, and the middle-aged man sitting with Li Tui inside didn't look at him.
Xu Changsheng waved goodbye while running home, while Li Ruan looked at Xu Changsheng's distant back with a smile on his face, and only turned around when he couldn't see it anymore, but his face was already cold.
said to Zhao Yu with a serious face: "He is my younger brother." ”
But when I thought about it, it didn't seem right, and I said again
"It's my brother. ”
