Volume 1 Shengmingyue Chapter 2 Flat Dan
Early the next morning, a black-clothed young man stood in front of the Xu family's mansion.
The young man looked at the closed door and didn't know what he was thinking, the young man was naturally Xu Changan.
His name is very strange, if it is in the Tang Kingdom, this kind of name will not be surprising, especially if you shout at random in Chang'an City, the response is definitely more lively than singing.
Last night, the young man only believed one point of those words of Master Xu, he believed that his old man was going to the capital, but he didn't believe it at all when it came to business.
There was no movement in the house, and the young man looked in through the crack in the door, and the layout was still the same, and there was no trace of movement.
Without people, everything is still there. It seems that he should be back for a long time from this trip.
"Daughter of the Tiger Wolf, Daughter of the Tiger Wolf......"
Xu Changan slowly turned around, it was still the man who carried the flat pole yesterday, carrying a flat pole every day from Xicheng to Dongcheng, such a diligent person should not be so down, but the strange thing is that Xu Changan never knew what he was selling under the white cloth in the two bamboo baskets.
The man's face was ruddy, it should be because he slept well last night, and he didn't say anything sarcastic when he saw the young man, in his eyes now, it was slightly more pleasing to the eye than the little lamb in front of him.
"What are you doing, like a thief? ”
Even though his complexion was good, Xu Changan found that such a man's legs were shaking slightly, but according to Xu Changan's opinion, the things in the man's two bamboo baskets should not be heavy.
"Just take a look, get me one of what you sell there. The boy retracted his mind and stared at the two pieces of white cloth.
"Fuck off, your third grandfather's things aren't sold when you see someone. The man said angrily.
This person Xu Changan knows him, and his name is also very interesting, called Zhang Sanru.
When he scolds people on weekdays, he likes to call himself the third grandfather and Lao Tzu, and is ridiculed by Xu Changan and others as the third in the family, the wife is the first, the flat burden is the second, and he is the youngest. There is also a saying that the waist is thick, the legs are thick, the neck is thick, and it is not harmful to say this, and the man does account for all three things.
It is said that his ancestor was a very famous Taoist, and there are many famous young people, so he naturally can't say why. I only know that the identity is much more noble than the Moon God Lord in Wangshulou.
No matter how good the ancestral shade is, he has enjoyed it all in his life, so he has to carry a flat burden to go back and forth in the east and west cities.
Seeing that the man didn't give face, Xu Changan was not angry, and asked instead: "It was my father who asked you to call me yesterday?"
The man's shoulders went up and down the rope that was a little shorter, and said in a rough voice: "Your old man gave me twenty taels of money, let me don't care what I say, just call you back, you also know that the third grandfather and I never take people's things for nothing." ”
The young man went down the steps, walked to the man's side and said with a smile: "Brother Sanco, you see that we all live in Xicheng, although we are separated by two alleys, we are not far away, we can be regarded as most of the neighbors......
Without waiting for Xu Changan to finish speaking, the man rubbed his slag with one hand and interrupted and said, "If you have a fart, hurry up and let it go!"
"What the hell are you selling there?"
Zhang Sanru smiled mysteriously and asked, "Want to know?"
Xu Changan nodded honestly.
"If you want to know, just follow Lao Tzu, and you can see it when someone buys it. The man suddenly hugged Xu Changan with one hand as if he saw a rare treasure and said.
The young man was startled by him, quickly broke free, waved his hands and smiled awkwardly and said, "No, no, you better go and get busy, I still have to go to the south of the city to get my fishing nets." ”
After speaking, the young man turned and ran west, goosebumps on his body couldn't stop popping out.
Zhang San stared at the young man in the distance with a flat shoulder, rubbed his beard, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Turning around and walking east, he suddenly shouted, "Cook cakes, sell ......"
The man suddenly seemed to remember something, quickly stopped shouting, looked behind him like a great enemy, and found that the young man had long disappeared before he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and was angry: "Sell a ball, don't sell it!"
Xu Changan walked alone in the city, thinking in his heart that he had seen that strange person yesterday, and then his own Lao Tzu suddenly said that he was going to the capital, and it was difficult for him not to take these two into account together.
But now the most important thing is to get his fishing net back, thinking that the fishing net boy is in a much worse mood, and I don't know which one who killed a thousand knives actually threw a knife into the water, scratching the fish, not to mention, the most important thing is to cut his fishing net, and he didn't catch a single fish in his last net.
The world is big, and the food is the biggest. A teenager who has no food to eat can only do it himself, why doesn't his own son know to keep some money for himself?
Depressed city, depressed teenager.
When I came to the city, I passed by a tavern, and the smell of wine was overflowing, and the guests who drank it were called a hearty dripping.
But the boy only glanced at it, and knew that the wine was mixed with water, and there was a lot of it. The reason is very simple, because Zhang Sanru told him that in addition to not daring to treat his third grandfather, the other guests in this tavern don't want to drink good wine.
Although the boy didn't believe it, he also knew that the owner of the tavern was not an honest businessman.
A glance at it was to confirm that there was no man carrying a flat pole inside.
From time to time, some incoherent words came from the tavern, and the boy crouched in place for a moment.
"Eh, I heard that the people in the city have moved away, is there something going to happen in our city?"
"I've also heard that even Master Xu moved out overnight yesterday, leaving behind a group of poor ghosts like us, it seems that something is really going to happen......"
"Master Xu, isn't his son still in the city? If something really happens, can he run for his life without taking his son alone?"
"That's what I say, but two strange people have come to the city these days...... Do you think it has anything to do with that?"
"I've heard that there are three of them......
The boy got up and left, three strange people, the fishing net was cut by a knife in the river, the fish suddenly became unpalatable, and all the people involved moved away, although the boy felt that there should be any connection between them, but he couldn't think of the problem.
The easiest way was to find those three strange people to ask, but the young man remembered that the one who came to him yesterday still dispelled this idea in an instant, in the face of the kind of strong man who can pinch people to death with one hand, who would dare to expect to inquire about something?
When you come to the city, you will start walking towards the south of the city.
On the ninth day of the first month of September, the withered yellow leaves began to fall one by one, and the weather became a lot cooler.
"Chang'an?"
A gentle voice came, and the young man looked up, and in front of him was an elegant young man, the man was dressed in a turquoise robe, a pair of willow leaves in his eyes were gentle, his left hand was behind, and he was holding a small old fishing net in his right hand.
"Brother Liu?" Xu Changan asked in surprise.
The young man in the turquoise robe smiled: "I went to the south of the city to do some business, and I remember that you told me yesterday that the fishing nets were repaired by Old Man Liu, and I happened to bring them back for you." ”
Then the man handed the fishing net in his hand to Xu Chang'an, and then advised: "These days, it's best not to go to the north of the city, that person doesn't know whether it's good or evil." ”
Xu Changan took the fishing net and said happily: "Thank you, Brother Liu." ”
As if thinking of something, the young man then asked, "You also went to the south of the city because of those three strange people?"
The young man's name is Liu Chunsheng, his family is not rich, his parents went early, and he is a poor man, relying on a beautiful calligraphy to survive, perhaps because of the same disease, he is always willing to help Xu Changan on weekdays, including the cost of repairing fishing nets today, Xu Changan does not need to ask, it must be the young man who pays out of his own pocket.
Liu Chunsheng laughed, and the gentle willow eyes became even gentler: "You are quite smart, but Chengnan has not seen any strange people in everyone's mouth, if it is only Chengbei, I don't know what they are going to do." ”
The two went back together, and the two figures, one high and one low, looked particularly harmonious in the sun.
Xu Changan firmly believes that no one in this world can be unconditionally good to him, but it is somewhat strange that he acquiesced in the exclusion of this gentle man in Tsing Yi.
"Chang'an, today is your birthday, how do you plan to spend it, Brother Liu will accompany you. Liu Chunsheng asked.
"If you can live your birthday at this age, I think it's just the two of us in the west of the city, there's nothing to live. Xu Changan pursed his lips and said helplessly.
Liu Chunsheng smiled but did not speak, neither comforting nor insisting.
When passing by the alley, the two separated, and Liu Chunsheng confirmed to the young man again: "Chang'an, are we really okay?"
Xu Changan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then quickly shook his head and couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Liu, what you said is so strange. ”
The young man was stunned and thought carefully for a long time, then shook his head with a big laugh and reminded: "The weather is starting to get cold, pay more attention to your feet when fishing in the future." The place where you live is very humid, remember not to catch a cold at night. ”
"Got it. The boy answered, and walked in the direction of his yard.
The house where the young man lived was actually quite good, Xu Changan knew that it was bought and given to him by his own Lao Tzu when he came to Xicheng last year. Gambling is angry, you must have a place to live, right? So the young man who gave this 'stranger' was completely unaware of it.
The pond outside the yard is the most satisfying place for the boy, but as Liu Chunsheng said, the humidity should also be heavier.
On weekdays, the fish boy who can't catch and eat it will throw it into the pond casually, and the fish in this pond Xu Chang'an dare to pack tickets are definitely denser than the fish in any river and lake in the city or even outside the city.
The originally delicate hands untied the small fishing net, stared at the water surface seriously, and learned to spit on the adults, rubbed their hands and said: "You Grandpa Xu are hungry now, live in my pool, drink my pool water, it's time to collect payment." Grandpa Xu, I don't have a lot of food, and I will throw the leftovers back to reunite you, if you catch a family of three or four, it will be all pickled, and it will be considered a reunion when you get there. ”
The words spoken by the little boy were very gloomy, but if these words were said to the fish in the water, they would only make people laugh.
The waist and legs exerted their strength and spread outward.
The young man who cast this net was so excited that he couldn't help but shake his head and smile in admiration: "How can you spread so round?"
The pool water splashed and rippled, and the rope vibrated slightly, and the boy's face became gloomy every time he pulled the rope.
After he had all the nets landed, his face was extremely gloomy, and he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Unscrupulous profiteers!"
