Chapter 9 Stealing Chickens and Morning Dew
Xu Changsheng woke up in a daze and found that it was already bright and his head was still a little dizzy. He didn't know how he got home last night.
However, I remember clearly what happened last night, but I feel a little embarrassed. If I were sober, I would definitely not be able to do such a thing, let alone say such words.
Xu Changsheng is a person who is not good at expressing his emotions. He is used to hiding his emotions in a corner and savoring them slowly by himself.
When Xu Changsheng arrived at the tofu shop, he found that Li Tui and Li Ruan were sitting inside and looking at him with smiles, their little faces turning red.
Li Tui even slapped his legs exaggeratedly and laughed, "It turns out that you, Mr. Xu, look like this when you are drunk. I don't want to let go of you, Sister Li, and you look like a little man. Hahahaha, could it be?"
First time drinking wine.”
In fact, this was his first time drinking. He had been drunk several times before in Tang and Song Dynasties, but he never drank. He thought he had a pretty good drinking capacity. He might not be able to get drunk after a thousand cups, but at least he should be able to drink a hundred cups.
I'm stunned, I didn't expect it to be poured in one cup.
Li Ruan also smiled and said: "Little Changsheng looks so cute when he's drunk, but you still have to drink a little more, and you have to drink more to get up to this level. Otherwise, when you grow up, you will end up drinking with women first.
I'm drunk."
Xu Changsheng's face turned even redder and felt very hot. He stammered: "Sister Li..."
Li Ruan said "Huh?" and pretended to be angry: "What did you call me?"
Xu Changsheng immediately woke up and changed his words: "Sister, I got up a little late today...I didn't come over to deliver the tofu."
Xu Changsheng was also a little embarrassed. He patted his chest yesterday and said he would not cause trouble to Li Ruan, but he didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face the next day.
Li Tui shouted, "When you come to deliver the tofu, the day lily will be cold."
When Li Ruan heard this, he immediately kicked him under the table.
"It's okay, your Uncle Li got up early and went to see her off."
Xu Changsheng scratched his head and said, "Don't worry, it's just this once, and I won't do it again in the future."
After chatting for a while, Xu Changsheng went home. It was still early, so he could read at home. He planned to go into the mountains to pick some herbs today, but he promised Sun Qiao and the others that he could only go tomorrow.
When I returned to the alley, I heard Aunt He arguing with Gao Mu from a distance, and some neighbors were surrounding her.
"It must be you, a crazy poor bastard, who stole my chicken. I am an old hen that can always lay eggs. I still expect it to lay eggs for me to replenish my body. You can do it no matter what."
Hands." Gao's mother cried and pointed at Aunt He and cursed.
Aunt He was so angry that her chest hurt. She just said, "Go and find it if you don't have it. Why are you cursing at the door?" Gao Mu then relied on him and pulled her away, saying that she had stolen it.
The scolding became louder and louder, and many neighbors ran out of their homes to look at the two of them. After all, the town never lacked people watching the fun.
Xu Changsheng also knew that this was Gao Mu's little trick, and she would usually blame Xu Changsheng, but as long as she ignored her, she would restrain herself after scolding her for a while. Unexpectedly, Aunt He would talk to her today.
As soon as Xu Changsheng walked next to Aunt He, he heard a voice from the alley, "Yeah, yeah, stop fighting. I said it's time, why are you arguing? You should have come to me to talk and laugh a long time ago, come on.
Come, I am here to tell you a fortune. Don’t worry, this fortune is free, just use it as a sign.” The familiar high-pitched voice sounded.
Everyone turned to look, and Xu Changsheng's eyes shrank for a while, and he took a breath of cold air. He was talking and laughing about this guy, but there was not even a pimple on his face.
Tanxiao smiled at everyone, walked with what he thought was a fairy-like pace, held the broken flag in his hand, and wandered towards the inside.
Xu Changsheng always felt that Tanxiao's smile was for him, and the smile was profound.
Tanxiao walked into the crowd, and everyone got out of the way. It was rare that Tanxiao was so kind-hearted that he made an exception and did not charge money to tell others' fortunes.
"Here, Mr. Xu, give it to me, Taoist Priest." Tanxiao threw the broken flag into Xu Changsheng's arms. He raised his eyebrows at Xu Changsheng while speaking. Xu Changsheng was flustered, but at least he couldn't be confused.
The formation is not.
Tanxiao took out four copper coins from his arms, stacked them one on top of the other, put his hands together, and pulled them up suddenly, and the four copper coins stood up one after another.
I have to say that there is a certain reason for people to be able to survive in this small town through talking and laughing. Just this move made the people around him stunned.
When Tanxiao saw that the brewing time was almost up, he pressed his hands and shot out four copper coins in one direction, "Follow me, the chicken is over here." Tanxiao patted his chest and vowed.
Then he ran over and picked up the four copper coins one by one, carefully put them back in his arms, and led everyone through the alley. Xu Changsheng was hanging far away at the end of the team.
Remember Yin Quan, I didn’t say it myself.
Gao Mu also became more and more panicked as she walked, laughing and joking. Is this guy really that powerful? Just throw a few coins and you can really find where your chicken is? And it seems that this route is pretty much the same!
Everyone followed Tanxiao to the Nanfeng River. Tanxiao pointed to a depression on the river bank and said, "Ah, what a big old hen. Could it be this one?"
Gao Mu immediately rushed over, hugged the chicken coop, and cried out: "My poor chicken has been hidden here by others."
Aunt He was finally cleared of her grievances, and everyone on the way here confirmed that Aunt He had never walked this road in the morning. At this moment, she gave a cold "hum" to Gao Mu, "Some people should pay attention to themselves, don't
I bite people when I see them, and I am not afraid of breaking my teeth."
Gao Mu stood up holding the chicken coop. She was also a little embarrassed. She didn't know how to explain it. Then she immediately pointed her finger, laughed and yelled: "You are the only one who found the chicken that no one else can find. You must be the one with the nose."
Is it right for a seasoned person to steal? It depends on you.
With his sly eyebrows and rat-like eyes, he must be a thief."
This was a bit unreasonable. Tanxiao looked at Gao Mu's face, sneered, grabbed the broken flag from Xu Changsheng's hand, and walked away with his sleeves waving.
Everyone didn't want to watch Gao Mu continue to perform there, so they dispersed one after another.
Xu Changsheng deliberately stayed at the back, standing by the river and watching everyone leave. Sure enough, when everyone was almost gone, his trousers were pulled down by others.
"Where to go?" Xu Changsheng asked softly.
“Old place”
There was no one behind him, but there was a sound.
After that, Xu Changsheng walked along the river bank towards the end of the town.
When he arrived under the stone bridge at the end of the town, Le An was still waiting there, still dressed in white, sitting on the protruding stone. No matter how dirty it was, his white clothes did not change color.
When Xu Changsheng sat down next to him, Le An took out a small bottle from his hand and handed it to him.
The bottle is made of unknown material. It is transparent and you can still see a small drop of water inside.
"Xu Changsheng, there seems to be more morning dew this month, so I have condensed more essence." Le An turned around and said.
Xu Changsheng touched his nose and said, "That will trouble Master Le, haha!"
Le An rolled his eyes, "Now I know how to call you Master Le, humph, drink it quickly."
After saying that, he stretched out his hands and waved forward, and a water film appeared out of thin air to wrap the two of them. In the eyes of outsiders, Xu Changsheng disappeared out of thin air.
But since Le An is there, it is naturally impossible for others to see it.
The small bottle of water droplets that Le An handed to Xu Changsheng was made from the morning dew he collected on both sides of the Nanfeng River and was refined using a special technique.
Ever since he discovered that Xu Changsheng was struggling in class, Le'an began to refine the morning dew drops for him every month.
This may not have any other uses, but it can improve Xu Changsheng's memory and make his mind clearer. At least, he won't be so tired while standing there "stealing lessons".
Although he no longer had to attend classes, Xu Changsheng did not refuse. Refining this morning dew was just a piece of cake for the "Master Le".
Xu Changsheng took off the cork of the bottle, poured the morning dew into his mouth, and slowly closed his eyes.
After a cup of tea, Xu Changsheng opened his eyes and felt that his mind was much clearer again. Le'an was also gone. He probably went to tease those little fishes again.
Xu Changsheng also returned home, reading a book and quietly waiting for the arrival of Sun Qiao and Wu Weihu in the afternoon.
Lunch was eaten at Aunt He's house, and they ate the water celery picked by Xu Changsheng yesterday afternoon, and the two of them had a great time.
Not long after lunch, the two of them came to the door. They were both wearing relatively tight-fitting clothes, and they were still bulging inside. They were obviously prepared. Xu Changsheng brought the slingshot and stones that he had prepared, and together they
