Linzi, the seat of Qi County, has been a prosperous place since ancient times, densely populated and trade-oriented. The streets are full of shops that buy and sell one by one, and there are all kinds of things.

"The fathers and elders of Linzi City, the little old man Zhang Fifteen, and his young son Baba'er passed by the precious land, and they were not exhausted, and there was no food and lodging, so they had to show some tricks on the street Bo Jun smiled and talked about some rewards. It is difficult to carve insects and other elegant halls, and there are eyes that pollute the kings, and they still beg for forgiveness. ”

With a large number of clichés in his mouth, an old man in cloth with gray hair and about fifty years old waved towards the forty or fifty people gathered around, with a smile on his face.

An obese young man who looked like a rich boy in the crowd shouted: "The old man Hugh only said that he would not practice the fake tricks, and if he has any skills, he should quickly take it out and show it to the masters." If you play well, you will naturally reward you heavily, and if you really have some unsightly insect carving skills, don't blame you for kicking your field!"

Beside this person, there are also four powerful men with strong faces, with horizontal faces and frowning eyebrows, and at first glance they are bodyguards and thugs. Hearing their master's words, the four of them echoed loudly and folded their arms and sleeves, and it seemed that as long as the master gave an order, they would immediately trample the old man's field to a pulp.

Although he was threatened by someone to rob him, the old man who called himself Zhang Shifu was not annoyed, and still smiled and said to everyone: "Since there are officials who don't want to listen to the little old man's Luo, then the little old man is going to be ugly!"

As he spoke, he waved behind him, and there was a child of seven or eight years old, wearing green pants and green jackets, sitting in a huge black lacquer box, with a pair of big black eyes looking left and right at the people around him. Hearing Zhang 15 say this, he jumped off the box with a slight stroke, and his body was actually quite light and agile.

Zhang Shifu grabbed the child and smiled at everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the only son of the little old man. Everyone looks at him as young, but you must know that he is gifted and born with the ability to enter and exit the green and the underworld. Today, Xiao Lao'er ordered him to go to the sky in front of everyone and steal a fairy peach from the Queen Mother's peach orchard!"

At this point, the onlookers were in an uproar, and most of them accused Zhang Shifu of being untruthful.

Zhang Shifu didn't tell everyone, leaned over and pulled out the rope head from a large plate of polished and shiny thick hemp rope on the ground, and then threw it into the air with all his might.

It's just this throw, and the onlookers were stunned. This fifteen doesn't look strong, but the strength of the hand is surprisingly strong, and this throw actually throws the front end of the hemp rope up more than ten feet high.

That's not all, the rope that was thrown into the air no longer fell, and it hung straight down from a height of more than ten zhang.

Just when everyone was dumbfounded, Zhang 15 took a few steps back, put the two fingers of his right hand together and pointed at the hemp rope, and shouted: "Get up!"

When the hemp rope boarded, it rose rapidly as if someone was carrying it on it, and in an instant, the whole rope coiled around it was all unfolded, and I was afraid that it would not be a hundred or ten zhang long.

Everyone looked up, but they saw that at some point a cloud appeared in the sky, covering the end of the rope.

"Baba'er, it's up to you to do it now. Zhang 15 pointed to the hemp rope and said to his son.

The child called "Baba'er" had a pink little face, but he said with a look of fear: "Daddy, let's not go! The last time the child stole the peach, it had already alarmed the Yellow Turban Lux guarding the peach garden. If I go again this time, I'm afraid that I will be caught, and my life will definitely not be guaranteed!"

Zhang Shifu said with a sad face: "My son, don't you know that your father is in great danger this time?" It's just that now my father and son are penniless, if they can't make money, they will sleep on the streets hungry tonight!"

Seeing that his father was so embarrassed, Baba'er immediately paused and said, "Okay, the child will take another risk!"

So saying, he approached the straight hemp rope, grabbed it with both hands and crossed his legs, and climbed up as quickly as a nimble monkey. As everyone looked up, they climbed higher and higher, and finally got into the cloud that covered the top of the rope.

Such a miraculous thing has already attracted more and more people to watch, and at this moment this small venue is already three floors inside and three floors outside, and the onlookers are afraid that there are not three or four hundred.

After a long while, something fell from the cloud.

Zhang Fifteen's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward and took him in his hand before the thing hit the ground.

When they looked intently, they saw that it was a peach the size of a bowl, half of which was already red, and it was so tempting that it had just been picked from the tree.

Zhang 15 held the peach in the palm of his hand, walked around the field for a week, let the people in the front row watch the authenticity from a close distance, and then walked back to the center of the venue and said loudly: "This peach is a treasure of Tianfu, the little old man is not worthy of it, if the official in the field is willing to bid, the little old man is willing to offer it with both hands!"

"This fairy peach is asking for it!"

Zhang Shifteen's words fell, and the fat boy before had already walked into the door with a loud shout. His four thugs followed, their eight eyes viciously glaring at the crowd around them, and the threat was self-evident.

"You don't need to boast about any fairy peaches, it's just a small trick. But it is rare to be able to get a fresh peach in the winter weather. This son has five taels of silver, and no one will fight for it. ”

After seeing this person's words, everyone around him was silent, and Zhang Shifu knew that the person in front of him could not be provoked, so he had to smile and offer the peach with both hands: "Little old man, thank you for the reward!"

The fat boy waved his hand, and one of the thugs next to him stepped forward to take it and threw him another ingot of silver.

"Why hasn't your son come down yet, do you still want to steal a few more peaches?

Zhang 15 was about to reply, when he suddenly saw the hemp rope shake, and then it fell from the sky. His face changed greatly, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the rope to look at it, and then fell to his feet and sighed: "Oh no, this rope was cut by someone, Baba'er must have been discovered by the Yellow Turban Lux guarding the garden!"

The audience in the front row had sharp eyes to see that the rope end was neatly broken, and it was indeed cut with a sharp blade.

While everyone was in shock, the cloud in the sky suddenly dissipated, and at the same time seven or eight things scattered down and crackled down on the field.

"Son!" Zhang fifteen suddenly let out a cry of sorrow, snatching one of the things in his hand and holding it and crying to the ground.

Everyone also saw those things clearly at this time, and they all shouted in surprise and retreated.

There were some hands and feet scattered on the ground, but what Zhang Shifu was holding in his arms was a round human head. Someone saw the face of the head clearly, but it wasn't who was Baba'er who had just climbed the rope!

"Bad luck! It's really bad luck!" The fat boy who was almost hit by one leg stepped back again and again, scolded angrily and turned around and left.

Zhang Shifteen, who stayed in the field, hugged the human head and cried for a long time, then walked to the black lacquered wooden box with sobs, opened the lid of the box and put the human head in, and then picked up the other broken limbs one by one and put them in. After covering the box, he waved at the silent crowd with red eyes, and choked up: "Baba'er died for the smile of all the officials, and I hope that you poor little old man is lonely, and he can help a little bit, so that the little old man can bury the dog." If you can do this, the little old man will never forget your great kindness!"

The onlookers were silent for a moment, and then someone threw the coin into the field, and the rest of the people followed suit, and for a time the coins fell like rain.

Zhang 15 kept moving towards everyone, and then packed up the money on the ground and wrapped it in a bag. He walked over to the box with his baggage and burst out laughing. Just when everyone thought that he was suffering from madness due to the pain of losing his son, he slapped his hand on the lid of the box a few times and shouted: "Baba'er, if you don't come out to thank you for the reward, when will you wait?"

With this shout, a child in a green jacket and green pants jumped out of the lid of the box, standing in the middle of the field and bowing around, but it was the Baba'er who had just been divided.

Looking at the people who opened their mouths wide and didn't say a word, Zhang Shifu smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said: "These are the little tricks that Xiao Lao'er presented to all the officials, and the name is called 'Immortal Suo'." Carving insect skills, everyone is laughing!"

Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and they erupted in an earth-shattering cheer.

In the crowd, Yu Tian, who had become a few years younger and looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old little Taoist priest, looked at the eight or eight children who were jumping up and down in the field, and there was a thoughtful look on his face.
