Temple fair
Chapter 1 Temple Fair
It was the middle of summer, and the morning sun had just risen in the east, and the orange sunlight slowly lit up the entire sky, and it felt like all passers-by had changed their outfits.
Passers-by were all smiling.
"Old man, I want to eat that candy cube, I want peanuts," a little boy tugged at the sleeve of the old man in front of him, and pointed his little finger at the roadside stall, the sun's rays shining crystal clear the candy cubes.
The little boy was very young, probably about fourteen years old, and wore gray clothes with many patches on them, but he looked surprisingly clean.
The old man touched the two cents in his pocket, looked at the stall and hesitated for a while and said, "Xiaofan, eating too much of this sugar is not good for your teeth, so let's not buy it." ”
"I only eat it a few times a year. The little boy looked at the old man with disdain and said.
The old man's face darkened at that time, "Where did you learn this, you see how sensible other people's children are." ”
Then he weighed it again, but still sighed and asked the stall owner, "Boss, how do you sell this kind of peanuts?"
"Two pennies for a penny, give a penny to the child," the boss said with a smile.
One article, two two...... It's really expensive, the old man took out a black penny from his pocket and handed it to the boss, and then took the candy cube.
When the old man handed it to the child, the child excitedly said, "I'll eat half of it and leave half for you!" The old man was happy and touched the child's head: "Just leave a small piece." ”
Okay, the child had a sugar cube in his mouth and vaguely responded, and the old man walked past the stall and shook his pocket, but he could still hear the sound.
At this time, a few young people walked by, still happily discussing some anecdotes: "I heard that tomorrow is the time for Xuanmen to recruit disciples once every five years, and it is in Tianyang Town next door, if it is not only recruiting disciples under the age of sixteen, I would like to take the test." ”
"Old man, are the old immortals you often say live in the Xuanmen?" the old man fell into deep thought when he heard this, and after a while, "Xuanmen, they are still far away!" Let's go, Xiaofan, buy some meat and we'll go home." ”
The child said to himself: "Old man, I think you are like the old immortal you said, I am so old, you still haven't changed." ”
The old man grinned: "Of course I've always been so young. ”
The old man and the child lived in a small wooden hut at the foot of a hill outside the city, and the wood was somewhat rotten and looked dilapidated.
"I'm going to eat the turnips and cabbage that I grow in the garden in the back. The child said seriously
The old man's face darkened: "Isn't my kind of radish and cabbage? Isn't it just a little bigger? I'm the eternal king of ginseng! ”
"How can there be such a big ginseng, it's obviously a radish, if you don't want to eat it, just say it. "The child is not happy.
Nie Xiaofan is an orphan, the old man picked it up by an unknown river a long time ago, the old man can't remember how long, Nie Xiaofan is a little dark but very good.
The old man took out a black rope from his pocket and threw it to Xiao Fan, and said slowly: "Go and pull a few whiskers down to cook, if it dares to run, use this rope to tie it." ”
"Okay" Xiaofan walked quickly towards the vegetable garden. What catches my eye is a plant similar to a small slope there is a long tree on the small slope with a trunk larger than Xiao Fan's whole person, and there are many small plants next to you.
Xiaofan walked over and poked Xiaopo: "Big radish! Why do you say you are so big, why do you want to take the name of King Sam." Don't think I haven't read, you're definitely a turnip. ”
King Sam ignored him, but moved quickly to the side spiritually.
"Don't run, radish, I've brought the old man's black rope here. Xiaofan took out the black rope and pointed to Xiaopo and said.
King Sam didn't move, Xiao Fan jumped up and hugged Xiao Po and said, "Big radish, have you read a book? Do you know how many are many?"
"No more than ten," said King Sam coldly
"No, you haven't read a book, I don't know" The child reached over with one hand and tore off a few whiskers and put them in his mouth, reached over with his right hand and pulled a handful, and reached over with his left hand and pulled a handful, and said vaguely, "You see how many are in my mouth, how many are in my right hand, and how many are in my left hand, and you still don't believe it if you haven't read a book." ”
King Sam said helplessly: "Master, you spare me, okay! You see how many times you have come back this month, just forget it with your left and right hands, and you still have to tell me that I haven't read while eating?"
"Okay, okay, I won't be plucking your hair in the future. Nie Xiaofan said seriously
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! Tell me when I lied to you?"
"The day before yesterday, last week, last week, last month......"
"Is there so much ???? Maybe someone else is pretending to be me, well, that's it. "Nie Xiaofan is serious.
"Roll@#%#*$*#"
Nie Xiaofan hurriedly ran back to the wooden house, "Old man, I'm back, I want to eat radish stew at night!"
"I said that it was a radish, no, it was not the king of Sam, bah blah. The old man slapped himself twice.
"Eh, parents of the body, it's not right for you to do this. Nie Xiaofan looked at the old man seriously.
At the dinner table, the old man and Nie Xiaofan were eating, and the tiny insect chirpings around them could be heard clearly.
Suddenly, Nie Xiaofan spoke: "Old man, I want to leave." ”
"Where to go"
"There was always a voice in my heart telling me to pray. ”
"Well, let's go, what do you say to me, by the way, that black rope is called the trapped dragon lock, you take it away! You can trap people who are not too much larger than your own realm, and you can have a guarantee on the road. The old man said very calmly, as if he had expected this day.
"Then I'm leaving!"
"Hmm"
"It's really gone!"
"Hmm"
"Really, really gone!"
"roll#&@@&*("
"Well, after all, he left. The old man leaned against the door and looked at Nie Xiaofan's distant back and said.
"Is he gone again?" said King Sam calmly
The old man's face darkened, "Well, the next time I come over, I went straight to the door and stabbed the floor again." ”
One night in the wooden house fourteen years ago, an old man supported a man in the prime of life, who was only half of his body left, covered in blood, and his eyes were blinded by something.
The man leaned against the wall and said weakly: "Old man, I lost again, do you think my dream will succeed?"
"Yes, I think it will. The old man said calmly
After a while, the old man came out of the house, still holding a crying baby in his hand, "King Sam gave me a few whiskers, I will give him medicine," the old man looked at the baby in his hand and said.
