The next day, Pan Long saw Gu Wen on the street again.

This top master of the Mo family's natural lineage, the great master of the unity of heaven and man, dressed in shabby clothes and pushing an old wheelbarrow, came to the streets of Nanxia City, turned the wheelbarrow into a stall, and peddled dolls to passers-by.

He is very skilled in his craft, and the dolls he makes are cute and funny, and he can also make dolls on the spot according to the customer's requirements. After a while, there were several guests, waiting for him to make dolls.

Pan Long glanced at it from a distance, and was amused in his heart.

Not to mention anything else, this senior must have cut corners when making dolls.

With his identity, if he is carefully made, the puppets he produces will be ingenious and lifelike. Maybe as long as you dress up a little, you can mix up and look like a living person.

Tianji Yimai is best at mechanism making, and puppet puppets are naturally among them.

As a descendant of the Heavenly Machine, Gu Wen may not be good at doing anything else, but he must be extremely good at being a puppet.

Merely...... If he made it seriously, not to mention the value of such a puppet, the mere fact that "there is a master of making dolls in Nanxia City" is enough to attract the attention of all parties.

The officials and envoys of Great Xia are not blind, there are strange people and strange people, they will definitely come to investigate.

This clearly contradicts Gwen's plan - he came to sell dolls just to cover up, not to become a famous craftsman.

Pan Long only glanced at it, then turned around and left, and did not stay long.

If Gu Wen's predecessor wants to hide his identity, then he can't pay too much attention to him. If he exposes his identity because of himself, then I'm sorry for him!

He had only walked a few steps when he suddenly frowned—a few big men had come to the street, and they were walking viciously towards Gu Wen's stall.

(What are these people here for?)

Pan Long's first thought was that Gu Wen had aroused the suspicion of a certain official, and this was sent to test him!

(Is he going to be exposed? If he is going to be exposed, how can I help him get attention so he can escape?)

He secretly calculated in his heart and was ready to make a move.

After a while, the big men had already come to the front of Gu Wen's stall, and the man at the head asked viciously: "Wu Na old man, have you paid for your share of the business on this street?"

Pan Long was stunned for a moment, but saw Gu Wen's body shrink for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Uncles, what am I ...... I don't have a store. If you don't have a store, you have to pay for it?"

"Nonsense! You are doing business on the streets, and you are stealing other people's business. Everyone else has paid their share, how can you let this person who hasn't paid for it rob the business!" The big man yelled viciously, and the spit star was almost sprayed in Gu Wen's face, "Either you move the place and find a place near the store that has not paid the share of the money to set up a stall." Either you honestly pay your share of the money for the past few days!"

"Yes...... But ......"

"Nothing! Choose one of the two, choose quickly!"

Gu Wen's wrinkled face was almost dripping with bitterness, and he hesitated for a while before he said, "Uncle, this money ...... How much do you have to pay?"

The big man smiled, the fierce look on his face eased a lot, he looked left and right, and asked a subordinate who seemed to be quite smart next to him, "Is there a puppet trade on this street?"

"Nope. The subordinate was obviously very familiar with the situation of the shops on this street, and seemed to be a dog-headed strategist, "According to the rules, those who do their own business will have their share of the money halved." ”

The big man nodded and said to Gu Wen, "Old man, don't say that I bullied you. I will follow the rules with you - those who do business on the streets of Nanxia will be five yuan of silver a month, and if you pay copper money, it will be four hundred yuan. If it is less than one room, it will be counted as one room. Stalls without shops will be halved, and independent businesses will be halved again - you have to pay a hundred cents!"

Pan Long raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

These people look vicious, but they actually look like they are quite decorative. I don't feel like I have much money to collect.

He didn't know much about the situation in Nanxia City, but those bastards who collected money in Dingfeng Town were responsible for cleaning the ground after the market closed every day, as well as catching thieves in the market or something.

Looking at the words and deeds of this big man, could it be that he is also this kind of "sitting tiger"?

Gu Wen's face was full of sorrow, and he said pitifully: "Uncle, I will do business for half a month, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will leave." ”

The big man frowned and said, "Why are you so unhappy! I see that your business is quite lively, at least for a month!"

"Uncle, this puppet business is actually just a gust of wind. After a few days, everyone who likes dolls will buy them, and they won't be able to sell them......"

Dahan's face was full of displeasure, and he discussed it with the dog-headed military advisor, and said, "Okay, half a month is half a month! Fifty yuan, hand it over!"

"Uncle, can you give a little grace for two days?"

The big man was suddenly angry, and his voice was a few points louder: "You old man, you are cunning! Seeing that the uncle is a little loose, I will push back and ...... If I'm really an uncle, I won't beat people!"

When he roared, several of his subordinates also clamoured. Gu Wen was frightened by them, and suddenly trembled as if he was swinging, and his old face turned white with fright.

Pan Long frowned again, and was about to go over to say a few words, but saw a beautiful woman in white clothes come over and said, "The eldest brothers are all decent people with heads and faces, why bother with this poor old man? ”

Gu Wen was stunned and looked at the woman in surprise.

A few big men recognized this person, and the dog-headed military advisor said with some embarrassment: "Doctor Bai, it is said that you have opened the golden mouth, not to mention a mere fifty cents, even if it is fifty taels of silver, we should give you this face." It's just that...... Rules are rules, and money cannot be paid by others......"

The "White Doctor" smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't break the rules." ”

She looked at Gu Wen and asked, "Old man, can you customize a doll for me?"

“...... Yes. Gu Wen hesitated, nodded, but added, "It's not worth the price......

Doctor Bai smiled: "Just do it according to my appearance, and do it carefully." If you want to be different from other dolls, can you do it?"

"Yes!" Gu Wen's face was a little more confident.

Doctor Bai smiled again, took out the money bag, took out a corner silver, and handed it to him: "In the next few days, I will come here to customize the puppet, so I should give a deposit." ”

Gu Wen shuddered and accepted the silver coin printed with the words "Great Xia Tongbao", carefully put it away, then took out the money bag, turned the money bag over, poured out more than sixty copper coins, counted fifty from the middle, and handed them to the big men.

During the whole process, the big men were polite and did not mean to be impatient at all.

After receiving the copper coin, the leader took out a bamboo plaque with a firebird pattern, made a mark on it, and handed it to Gu Wen.

"You hang this bamboo plaque on the stall, if someone comes to find trouble, show him this bamboo plaque and tell him that you are covered by our Suzaku Gang in Nanxia City!"

He thought for a while, and then said, "Old man, you are lucky, Doctor Bai has helped you." People are kind, don't take the money, you won't come tomorrow - if you are greedy for other people's money, I will chase you to the ends of the earth, and I will break your hand!"

Gu Wen nodded again and again, and the big men of the Vermilion Bird Gang walked away.

So Gu Wen began to make dolls for the white doctor, and he specially found some complete fabrics, and even the needle and thread were replaced with some relatively new ones, which looked very careful.

At this moment, Pan Long had already sat in a nearby teahouse, with his back to this side, and was observing the situation here with his divine sense.

In fact, he didn't worry about Gu Wen suffering a loss - don't look at Gu Wen's own sealing skills, he is just an ordinary old man at the moment, but his ability to be in the Heavenly Pulse is not only in himself.

If Gu Wen really ran into trouble, the psychic treasure "Heavenly Machine Treasure Box" he carried with him would naturally have the ability to protect the Lord.

In contrast, Pan Long was more curious about the identity of the "White Doctor".

He recognized this person at a glance, it was Bai Yingxuan, a well-known prostitute from Guangling City.

This woman has a unique skill, but she hides her identity and works as a prostitute in the painting boat in Guangling City. Later, she left Congliang, and there was a little turmoil in the middle - that was all in the past.

It was not the first time Pan Long had seen her in Nanxia City, he had seen this former prostitute who had changed careers and became a doctor when he was hanging out before.

At that time, he was very curious, wanting to know what this woman was doing in Nanxia City?

Although it is bustling and lively enough to do business, it ...... A well-known prostitute, doesn't he have any money?

Even if she doesn't have any savings, with Bai Yingxuan's skills, making money should be a breeze for her. As long as she wants, she can earn enough money to live anywhere, and she doesn't need to find a prosperous place.

In contrast, a famous prostitute is good, and it is said that she should go to a place where she can say goodbye to the past.

For example, go upriver along the Tongtian River to Jinguan City, which is thousands of miles away from Guangling City......

The reason why Bai Yingxuan was able to go to Nanxia City to be a doctor must be related to her unique skills!

So Pan Long has always wanted to know more about this woman, but this woman is in-depth and simple, except for occasionally treating people, she almost doesn't step out of the inn where she stays. Pan Long also spied on her in the house, but saw that she was just reading, playing the piano, and painting...... It's like an elegant person who lives in seclusion in the middle of the city, and he can't see the slightest shadow of conspiracy.

Today, it was the first time he saw Bai Yingxuan leave the inn and go out for a walk.

So he was very curious, wanting to know what was the reason for Bai Yingxuan to come out and walk around?

Bai Yingxuan stood there as a model, and Gu Wen carefully made the dolls. Little by little, time passed.

After a while, Pan Long had already drunk three pots of tea, eaten two steamed buns, and ate more than 20 pancakes with meat one after another. It is also thanks to his body that has been tempered, and his digestion ability is far better than that of ordinary people, otherwise he is afraid that he will have a problem eating.

Just as he had finished the last pancake and wondered if he should order something else, he was suddenly slightly stunned and saw an unexpected person.

The abyss is coming!

Cang Yuan was dressed differently than usual today, dressed in a simple coarse cloth robe, carrying a folding fan in his hand, and carrying a small blue cloth bag on his shoulder, looking like a poor scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam.

His face was obviously covered with makeup, and his handsome face now looked much simpler, no longer the usual appearance of a beautiful man, but much more pleasing to the eye than usual.

When he saw Bai Yingxuan standing there, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked straight over and asked, "Yingxuan, have you waited for a long time?"

"No, I'm just there. Bai Yingxuan opened his eyes and said nonsense, "I'm asking this old gentleman to make a puppet for me, do you like dolls?"

As far as Pan Long knew, Cang Yuan had a simple personality, and although he did not reject luxury enjoyment, he was not interested in those unnecessary decorations.

Purely ornamental objects such as dolls -

"I like it very much!" Cang Yuan said without hesitation.

Pan Long shook his head and smacked his lips, feeling that the tea that he had drunk a few times had become flavorful again.

Bai Yingxuan smiled slightly: "I also like dolls, not only dolls, but all kinds of animal puppets...... I like them all. ”

Cang Yuan nodded again and again, and said to Gu Wen, "Old man, can you make me a puppet too?"

"No problem. But you can't wait until you're done with this girl. ”

"Don't worry, I have time and can wait slowly. ”

(Hey!Aren't you so busy every day that you don't even have enough time to sleep?)

Pan Long complained silently in the teahouse next door, and poured himself another cup of tea.

Next, Cang Yuan and Bai Yingxuan chatted in front of Gu Wen's stall, Cang Yuan was not as sharp and intelligent as usual, and even looked a little clumsy, making jokes more than once, which made Bai Yingxuan laugh.

Gu Wen looked at them with a smile, and sewed the dolls with a thin stitch in his hand.

After about half an hour, the special doll was finally finished.

He cut off the last few miscellaneous threads on the puppet, and then handed it to Bai Yingxuan: "Girl, your puppet." ”

Bai Yingxuan took the puppet, and before he could speak, Cang Yuan was already surprised and said: "Ah! What a delicate puppet! Even if it is a craftsman of the imperial court, it is nothing more than that!"

He immediately realized that he had slipped his mouth, and hurriedly added: "Well, even if it is a skilled craftsman in the Right General's Mansion of the Hou Army, it should be like this!"

(Dude, could you be a little more stupid!)

Pan Long covered his face with his hands, not knowing what to say.

Although it is said that love reduces intelligence, the abyss brother ...... Isn't your intelligence too low? These words don't seem like your level at all!

Cangyuan himself understood that he had slipped out of his mouth again, and his face was full of embarrassment.

Bai Yingxuan pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and asked, "Chang Gongzi, do you like this puppet?"

"I like it!" Cang Yuan said without hesitation.

It's just that Pan Long saw it clearly in his divine sense, and he didn't even glance at the puppet at all!
