[comprehensive] superior skills

Even if you go to the county, you can't just walk on two legs, the distance is more than ten miles.

Shi Erlang turned his head and went to the backyard to pull out a young donkey with a high-spirited appearance, making a gesture to hitch a cart on it.

The old man Shi felt distressed when he saw it, and hurriedly drove away his rough-handed and clumsy son, and then picked up some green grass from the hay pile next to the firewood pile and fed it to the donkey. He used to pay for his life but didn't spend it. The old man was afraid that he would be tricked by the idlers in the village who would play with cats and dogs if he didn't check for a while, so he simply changed to this little ancestor's house. If he has free time on weekdays, he will let Erlang go to the county to earn some money It’s much cheaper to eat and use, since you have it at home.”

Song Ci saw that the little donkey had strong limbs and smooth hair. It seemed that he was well taken care of, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to pet it.

Unexpectedly, the honest donkey under Old Man Shi's hands dodged left and right, and refused to let her touch it as if he was stubborn.

Thinking of the frightened appearance of the animals in the valley when they saw him for the first time, Song Ci moved his mind, and took out two carrots that were watered and fed with spiritual springs in the past and brought them to its mouth, "Don't be afraid."

The little donkey rubbed its hooves and bared its teeth twice, taking advantage of the attention of several people present by its sudden tweeting, it grabbed the carrot in one bite, and then moved a few steps to hide behind the old man Shi and swallowed it in three bites.

"What a smart little guy!"

Song Ci shook his head with a smile, "Since you have eaten my food, you can no longer play around and dodge your laziness. I still expect you to drag me to the county seat."

After the donkey cart was packed away, the donkey walked forward steadily, shaking so that the copper bell hanging around its neck jingled.

Hearing the sound coming from a distance, the people in the village who wanted to enter the city hurriedly called to Shi Erlang, and paid eight cents for fodder one by one to ride together.

Shi Erlang didn't want to agree at first, because he was afraid of delaying his benefactor's important affairs, and also because he was afraid that the villagers would offend the nobleman without knowing how serious they were.

Pian Songci didn't care about these things and only vaguely indicated that he was fine, and took the initiative to sit in the front of the car and leave most of the seats for the old, young, women and children in the village.

In her life, she had ridden many carriages in the sky and underground, and this was the first time she entered the city on a bumpy donkey cart with the villagers. This feeling was really novel.

Not long after walking out of the village, the old woman in the car couldn't help asking: "Erlang, I heard that a young man with an extraordinary appearance went to your house just now in the field, but this one in front of you?"

Shi Erlang caught a glimpse of her undisguised scrutiny from the corner of his eye, and while smiling wryly in his heart, he said in a foolish way: "My aunt is worthy of being an inquisitor in the village, and I have never been able to hide all the big and small things in the village from you old man. What you said That's right, this young master is an old friend of mine in the army, and he just happened to pass by Qiantang before he came to visit us."

Seeing that he spoke so clearly, everyone knew that no matter how much they envied him, it would be difficult to get into such a good family. They didn't dare to do it again when they saw that young man who was silent but possessed a certain prestige. And above the food prices in the county.

Even if the ears of the few villagers behind him were disturbed, Shi Erlang also heaved a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that these people would lose the big because of their ignorance.

"My lord, don't be offended. People in the countryside don't know the rules."

He lightly flicked the whip on the little donkey's ass, and added deliberately: "Although the people in our village are less knowledgeable and often make jokes, they have no bad intentions."

Song Ci nodded with a smile. She didn't need to tell Shi Erlang, she also knew that there were no treacherous and evil people among the boring villagers in the car.

It's not because the little people lack the capital to do evil, just looking at the elders of Xiaoshi Village, they know that there are enough places for people to do evil if they want to.

The reason why Song Ci is so sure is that her snake eyes that have gradually recovered since she came out of the valley can not only see things like ordinary people, but also see the faint luck in everyone's brows.

It's like the blackness of Yintang that the ancients often said. In her eyes, not only blackness can be seen, but also whiteness, goldenness, blueness, and redness.

From the time when he took a short rest at Shi's house to when Shi Erlang collected money and went to the city, Song Ci understood the meaning of the five colors of Yintang through the little things around him.

To sum it up in the vernacular, these five colors represent five kinds of luck, black is naturally a mildew star, white means no disease and no disaster, cyan means good fortune, golden wealth is in charge of money, and red is a first-line marriage.

Just looking at the increase or decrease of the color depth indicates that the fortune is also changing randomly, and it is impossible to say when a good thing becomes a bad thing.

"Perhaps in addition to opportunities, changes in fortune are also related to one's own virtue."

Unobtrusively glanced at Shi Erlang, who was exuding a strong youthful spirit in Yintang, Song Ci thought secretly in his heart, "I'm afraid that old man Shi is wasting his thoughts in vain worrying about the sky, this second boy doesn't look like the life of a donkey herder."

After pondering for a while, when I got used to the bumps of the scooter, I arrived at the destination of this trip, Qiantang County.

Perhaps because of the frequent visits, the soldiers guarding the city didn't embarrass Shi Erlang very much, and they happily collected the tax money and let him go.

Song Ci didn't intend to leave, so he didn't care about the villagers who discussed with Shi's family when to return, instead, he wandered around the street stalls with great interest.

It's not that she has to act like a bumpkin entering the city, and it's not like she hasn't been to Fucheng, which is more prosperous than Qiantang County, but this human body and snake body are different after all, at least she doesn't need to hide her body under cover.

"Guest officer, try the little old man's hemp tofu!"

The shopkeeper with sharp eyes greeted warmly: "It is not oily or dry, so you can eat it deliciously!"

Song Ci stopped and took a look, there was half a pot of black and red paste warming in the pitch-black shallow pot like a jar lid, a bit like a cold cake that was steaming.

She picked up her purse and counted a few big coins, "Come on, how much is it?"

The shopkeeper happily replied: "Large servings of Sanwen and small servings of Liangwen are delicious and not expensive!"

Song Ci looked at the Dahai Bowl and Zhongwan Bowl on the table again, and suddenly felt that the price here was no different from when she was a princess, at least it would allow the common people to eat and wear warm.

"Then..."

Song Ci paused, then picked out five big coins and put them on the case, "I want one for each of the big and small ones, keep the small ones, and send the big ones to the corner."

The store owner was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and saw the pair of little brothers hugging each other for warmth, and immediately opened his mouth to praise: "The guest officer is kind, thank you on behalf of the Zhang brothers!"

At last, he could distinguish between priority and priority. He first served the guests with hemp tofu, and then took a large bowl with a sharp tip and sent it to the ragged brothers.

I don't know what the shopkeeper said, but Song Ci saw the older child struggling to get up and kowtow towards the booth, and then slowly went back to feed the food to his younger brother.

Shi Erlang, who hurried over, saw that his benefactor was showing kindness again, and he couldn't help but feel emotional, "Oh, there are so many little beggars in the world who lack food and clothing. It's nothing more than natural disasters and man-made disasters to degrade good and precious dolls to this point."

In the past few years from Wu, he was used to seeing orphans in war zones, and those close relatives who sold their young children in order to seize family property. Comparing the two, a good goblin like En Gong seemed more humane.

Hearing what he said, Song Ci lost the interest in tasting it, and put the bowl of salty and fragrant sesame curd that was specially fried with chicken skin back on the case, "It's getting late, let's go to the county government."

People have human nature and demons have demon ways. She is a soft-spoken little snake spirit who should not get involved in the world's major affairs. Besides, even Guanyin Bodhisattva, who claims to save the suffering, has to follow the sky, and she ran out stupidly to pretend to be wronged. Are you struck by lightning?

I don't know which sentence violated En Gong's taboo, Shi Erlang didn't dare to speak again easily, and just led the way to the county government with a dull head.

At the gate of the yamen, two yamen servants who were chatting and chatting saw Shi Erlang from a distance and laughed, "Hey, who am I, so Erlang is here!"

The other also laughed and said: "It's strange that the magpie on the tree woke up early, and the relationship is for Erlang!"

"Second brothers, don't make fun of me!"

Shi Erlang trotted forward and cupped his hands, "If the yamen is not busy, please inform me that the boy is asking to see Li Gongfu and Li Butou!"

"Hey, this is beyond words!"

The yamen servant at the front whispered: "Who in the arrest squad doesn't know that you and Li Tou have a good relationship, so there is no need to use a word of begging! Just wait, brother, I will go in and say hello, and I am sure Li Tou will come out soon! "

"Work and work!"

Shi Erlang was still so respectful, "I'm busy today, so I'll be the host of another day and invite my two older brothers to have a drink!"

"What kind words do my family members say?"

Although the yamen servant said he refused, he was happily counting the days in his heart, waiting for the day when he would be free and go to relieve his alcohol addiction.

Song Ci, who had clear ears and eyes, could hear all the jokes of the three of them coming and going, and said to himself that this little catcher looked inconspicuous, but it was not something ordinary people could see.

She took a closer look and saw that the Yintang of the two yamen servants, one with white hair and gray hair, and the other with red and black hair, the former had obviously worked half his life but had never made an inch of merit, and even though he had a good heart, he was afraid that he would be muddled for the rest of his life; Those who are greedy for flowers and lustful, are also very easy to cause disasters in terms of female sex.

Not long after, the yamen servant who entered the door earlier ran out, followed by a well-proportioned middle-aged strong man.

The man's facial features are not average, but he has an indescribable spirit than ordinary people.

"Jiro!"

In a few steps, he crossed the steps in front of the county government office, and punched Shi Erlang, who was looking forward to it, on the chest, "Good boy! Why did you think of coming to see brother? Could it be that the family bought another animal?"

"I'm ashamed, little brother, I really don't want to go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing."

Shi Erlang said as he pulled people to the side of the street, and introduced to Engong who had been standing under the tree waiting for news: "This is Li Butou from the Qiantang County Government, the matter of Mr. Zhao will still fall on my elder brother. "

"Master Zhao?"

Unable to see the person's background, Li Gongfu deliberately joked: "When did you know such a character, and you came to introduce me today?"

"Brother, don't want to see outsiders."

Shi Erlang said earnestly: "Young Master Zhao is a chivalrous man I met on the way to the army. He and my whole family have saved lives. This time, by chance, I will meet my benefactor again, and only then did I know that his ancestral home is actually from Qiantang. It was only because I left home when I was young that I had already forgotten where I was in the village, so I wanted to ask my brother for help."

"Oh?"

Li Gongfu was startled, "So, Mr. Zhao wants to find relatives?"

"No."

Song Ci cupped his hands and said indifferently: "Master's deathbed confession, my family has long been lost. Now the return is just because of the loneliness in the mountains, and I just want to see the customs of my hometown. If life goes well, it will be the same for ten or eight years. ; If there is no interest, it may not be scattered in two or three years."

"I've been so dizzy for a long time, I just said that I want to settle down!"

Li Gongfu waved his hand, and said boldly: "If you only talk about our brothers, Erlang has nothing to say. But the real caller in the yamen is not me, a little headhunter, only the money master who is in charge of the household registration. Can't get past it! It's not that my brother is deliberately fooling people. Master Qian is really worthy of the surname passed down by his ancestors. It is nice to say that yanguo plucks the hair, but he is the master who dares to take off the shroud of the dead! Mr. Zhao! Going in dressed up is obviously a fat sheep, I'm afraid I can't take it off and I'll be slaughtered!"

Song Ci frowned, "Money is a trivial matter."

"You can't do that."

Li Gongfu took a step closer, "Based on your attitude of giving and taking, I am afraid that Master Qian will not let go! If you believe in brother, please listen to my advice. It is better to buy the house first than let the money basket be slaughtered for nothing. The laws of the Song Dynasty clearly stipulate that those who live in the old age will be granted household registration. As long as you live in the courtyard at ease for three to five years without committing any crimes, even if the master Qian deliberately embarrasses you at that time, you will not be able to do so.”

"Brother Li has the right idea after all.!"

Shi Erlang took a peek at Engong's face, "What do you think, Mr. Zhao?"

"So good."

Song Ci also didn't want to take advantage of the greedy people, "Then I'll bother Catcher Li."

After discussing what to say, Catcher Li led the two of them into the yamen, went straight to Master Qian who was sorting out the internal affairs, and asked him to buy two government-sold houses from him.

Sure enough, as Li Gongfu said, Master Qian is really worthy of being a hero who can even pull off a layer of skin from the dead. Seeing that he can't get any benefits from the fat sheep, he insists on counting all the damage of repairing the house in the buyer's account In the yard, I almost sold the rotten stones in the broken water tank that came with me in the yard again.

In the end, not to mention the two hundred yuan of the house, he just used the excuse that he didn't have any money to buy the 30 taels of gold that Song Ci used to redeem.

"Master Zhao, I didn't expect you and I to be neighbors!"

After scolding Master Qian who never changed his mind, Li Gongfu smiled and said to the little brother who brought out the deed and keys: "Go, I will take you to the house to see if there is anything else you need to buy!"

Riding on Shi Erlang's donkey cart, the three of them arrived at a fairly tidy courtyard after almost a cup of tea.

The gate of this courtyard faces the entrance of the alley obliquely, the front of the hall is divided into east and west chambers, and there are three H-shaped hanging mountain houses in the inner courtyard.

Although there are no exquisite furnishings in the house, at least the furniture is ready-made, as long as you roll up a bed and you can move in.

"It looks a bit empty now, but it will be fine if you live in it for a few days!"

Li Gongfu didn't see him either, and commented inside and out, "If you plant a few more flowers and plants here, the popularity will rise immediately!"

He was pointing Jiangshan, when suddenly a woman asked from the next courtyard wall: "Gongfu? Li Gongfu, is that you?"

The more the woman thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and her voice also increased, "Why did you go to the next door when you are so good? Let me tell you, don't try to play outside like those black-hearted policemen." Jinwu Zangjiao's tricks, I, Xu Jiaorong, are not easy to bully!"

"Oh, you bitch!"

Li Gongpu smiled awkwardly, turned around and scolded: "What are you talking about! I'm here to accompany someone to look at the house! You still treat me as the magistrate of the county!"

It's hard for him to stay with his wife after making such a fuss, so he had to say goodbye with a haha, "Since everything is settled, brother, I'll go home first, it's all because this woman can't leave anyone for a moment!"

"Brother Li, go slowly!"

Song Ci never expected that this naughty head catcher was actually an honest man who was afraid of his wife, and while he felt funny, his impression of him changed a lot, "I'll go say hello to my sister-in-law after I finish my housework."

As soon as Li Gongfu left, Shi Erlang also left with the excuse of buying things, leaving only the new householder to slowly appreciate the small courtyard he had acquired.

Listening to the faint movement from the next door, Song Ci pondered that he had to clean up another shop facing the street as soon as possible to make a living, so as not to be like the lady of the Li family who was stuck at home all day thinking blindly.

She doesn't do anything else to compete with the local people for business, she just uses the best and not taboo skill at present to meet each other.

When someone comes to the door, just say a few words to pass the time, and accumulate some small merits that are not eye-catching.

But this is all for later, the most important thing right now is to quickly buy sacrifices and go to the Temple of the City God and the Temple of the Earth to make offerings, in order to thank the two gods for their forgiveness.
