Chapter 63: The Door That Shouldn't Have Been There
"No one?" said Sun Xiaoman, looking at the house that had not moved for a long time.
"There's someone in there!" Ying Wuxin said.
"It's not easy to go out and walk, big brother, open a door, we'll give money, ten copper coins!" Wang Banxian shouted at the top of his throat.
Ying Wuxin kicked him, "It's too much." ”
Sun Xiaoman raised his voice and said, "One tael of silver." ”
With a squeak, the door of the main hall opened, and Wang Zhong walked out with a smile, "I'm sorry, the rain was loud just now, and I was napping, I didn't hear your voices, please come in quickly." ”
The group rushed into the house, most of their clothes were already soaked, but they all held huge gourd leaves in their hands as umbrellas, so the rain was not serious.
Wang Zhong brought a pot of hot tea over and invited him to drink tea.
"You Daoists are also here to participate in the Monkey Festival Script Contest Contest?"
The five of them turned around, all confused.
Wang Banxian thought for a while, his eyes lit up and said, "Script, you talk carefully and listen to it, we are all from other places." ”
"I see-" Wang Zhong smiled and exhaled a breath of turbidity, the story of the Spirit Monkey Festival was recounted, and the other four people were slightly surprised, but they didn't think much about it, in this world now, the mice have become essences, and the monkeys appreciate the scripts and operas, what is so strange.
Only Wang Banxian was different, his excited eyebrows were about to jump, and he kept giving Ying Wuxin a look, those who knew understood that he had something to say, and those who didn't know thought that he and Ying Wuxin had something in private.
Ying Wuxin excused himself to watch the rain and walked to the door, Wang Banxian immediately came up and whispered: "Little Daoist, the opportunity to become rich and famous has come." ”
Ying Wuxin glanced at him and said, "If you want to take out the things in your phone to compete, it may not work, and I don't see a script in it." ”
"Hey, my little Taoist, you don't know, this is a novel, there are many novels in our mobile phone, it's definitely not bad. ”
"But can it work? Don't you say that many of the novels in it are in the vernacular?"
"There are also literary words, and there happens to be a novel that will not be worse than the Legend of the Seven Heroes, called Journey to the West, which tells the story of the four masters and apprentices who encounter all kinds of demons and monsters along the way, and the people and ordinary readers love to see such strange stories, I can pack a ticket for this little old man, and this is the case in our hometown. ”
Ying Wuxin said disdainfully: "You haven't even seen sweet potatoes there, how can you guarantee that there is no problem with your vision?"
"I will pay for the materials of paper, ink, pen and inkstone, as long as Xiao Daoye allows me to use the novel and story, once the book is published later, the opera is arranged, and the money we get is divided into five accounts, and the final letter of recommendation is also left to Xiao Daoye. Wang Banxian said eagerly.
"How many points?"
"Five-five!"
"How many points?"
"Either four-six, I'm four-"
Ying had no intention of turning his head and leaving, "This novel story is written by someone else, and you are embarrassed to reach out and use it, and use your own name." ”
"Thirty-seven. ”
"Twenty-eight. ”
"Twenty-eight can't be less, otherwise the money to buy paper, ink, pen and inkstone can't be returned, I can add the name of Xiao Daoye, just say my dictation, your record, anyway, I won't write traditional characters. ”
"Give you one last chance, say it well. "There should be no heart.
Wang Banxian hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, two or eight points, use your name." ”
"Since you are so enthusiastic, I will reluctantly accept it, in fact, I have never cared about such a false name, isn't it that in the future, it will be popular in three states and five countries, and my name will spread all over the world, what is the benefit?"
"Little Daoist, don't say it, my heart hurts so much. ”
After speaking, it was completely dark, it was raining outside, only the sound of pouring rain, an oil lamp in the room, under the dim yellow light, Li Zhengdao and the three of them were bored in a daze, Wang Zhong had already walked into the inner room, closed the door, and didn't know what he was doing?
"I don't know what time it is, but I'm a little hungry. "You shouldn't have the heart to look at the dark sky dome outside.
Wang Banxian rolled his eyes, took off the wooden box behind him, blocked it with his body, took out the mobile phone wrapped in oil paper inside, touched it, and the black surface became brighter.
"It's time for the unitary hour. ”
Ying had no intention of turning around and asked seriously, "Is it just right?"
Wang Banxian nodded.
The other three people in the room all listened very strangely, now that the sky is dark, and there is no clock leakage, how can Wang Banxian say conclusively that the current moment is Youzheng?
Wang Banxian smiled proudly, put the mobile phone in his sleeve, and showed it to Ying Wuxin, "Xiao Daoye, this mobile phone has a timing function on it, it is very accurate, it will not be bad in an instant, and there is a date, it is May 27, when we just got it, this mobile phone shows May 22, and there are five days before the solar term of the great summer." ”
Ying Wuxin was stunned for a moment, reacted, and whispered: "Don't take it out to show off, hide it well, don't let outsiders know, otherwise the husband is not guilty, what will happen to the guilt, you should know very well, now we still have the ability to keep this thing." ”
"Understood. Wang Banxian nodded, blacked out the phone, blocked it again, put it in the box, and firmly carried it on his back.
"Senior brother, what's in that box?" Sun Xiaoman asked curiously.
Li Zhengdao thought for a moment, "The gift that Qianzi left for Brother Wuxin." ”
"What kind of gift?"
Li Zhengdao shook his head gently, Sun Xiaoman was discouraged for a while, and puffed out her mouth unhappily, it was the first time she was rejected by her senior brother because of an outsider, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Bai Miaozhen pulled her sleeve, leaned over and whispered, "Senior brother is a man, and there are some things that he may not be able to tell us." ”
After thinking about it, Sun Xiaoman felt that it made sense, and turned his sadness into joy at the moment, and asked his senior brother about cultivation with a smile.
After a while, the rain outside did not stop, but became heavier and heavier, and everyone looked at each other, knowing that they would definitely not be able to leave tonight, but there was a place to stay to shelter from the rain, and everyone was very satisfied.
"This big brother, can you get us something to eat? This is two taels of silver, which is our accommodation fee. Sun Xiaoman took out two taels of silver and shouted into the inner room.
After a while, the door of the inner room opened, and Wang Zhong walked out, saying with a smile: "There is only coarse grain at home, if you don't dislike it, I'll make some food." ”
As he spoke, Wang Zhong walked past everyone and walked towards the east house, where was the kitchen, and after a while, there was the sound of burning fire and pouring water, Wang Banxian ran over to help with the box on his back, in fact, he wanted to eat early.
Li Zhengdao turned his head and looked at the closed door behind him, frowning slightly.
"In such a poor house, this door should not be there, it can be replaced by a cloth curtain, and look at the texture, it is a good wood, up and down, left and right and the wall are completely fitted, there are no gaps, and the sound insulation effect must be very good. "You shouldn't come over, pretend to drink tea, and say casually.
Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen's faces changed, and they were about to get up.
Li Zhengdao stopped them, "Don't be impatient. ”
"Brother Heartless, have you heard any voice?"
Ying Wuxin shook his head slightly, "There was only a slight breathing sound of a person inside, and there was nothing else." ”
Li Zhengdao's eyes shone with golden light and looked at the back room.
