Chapter 40 Master Zhao 1

In Shimen Town, which is close to the river, there is a mist in the morning. The merchants on Jiangdi Street get up early, put down the door panels, opened the store door, and waited for the opening to pick up customers. Some seemed to have not woken up, and were cheering and greeting each other with their neighbors.

"Shopkeeper He is early and his business is booming."

"Boss Hu is early, congratulations on getting rich."

...

Similarly, farmers in the suburbs of Shimen Town rushed to the sky early, carrying bars and loads. While watching the fog in sorrow, they took out handicrafts or local products they planted in their own homes and placed them out. They saw the passing pedestrians and kept shouting.

"Fresh little cabbage, take a look."

"I made my own hat, rain and sun protection, take a look, take a look."

...

At this time, I saw a girl wearing an ice-blue silk skirt, a flat bun on her head, and a pretty eyebrows, jumping and joyful, holding a candied haw in her hand, looking around with a pair of watery eyes, looking around, busy. Behind her was a handsome boy with a smile on her face, a pair of bright white clothes, and a pair of bright eyes like stars, all placed on the girl in front of her. What was inconsistent with the handsomeness of the boy was that he was carrying a yellow cloth bag on his body, which seemed to be a heavy object inside, and it was round and bulging. These two were Chu Qing and Xiao Jiu who were up and down from Yusun Peak early in the morning.

Chu Qing took a few steps and turned around and shouted repeatedly: "Xiaojiu, go quickly. We must hurry up to Xiaojiang Village, Lao Zhao before the craftsmen left home, so that we can come to search for it."

The reason Chu Qing said this was because after a detailed inquiry, she learned that there was a village called Lao Zhao and Xiao Jiang not far from Shimen Town. There were many craftsmen in the village, building houses, carving and carving, and doing everything. Especially Carpenter Zhao at the east end of the village, and Carpenter Jiang at the west end of the village, were even better at it. Many famous buildings in Shimen Town were built with craftsmen.

When Xiaojiu heard Chu Qing's call, he smiled and quickened his pace. He rushed forward. The two of them walked along Jiangti Street for a while, but Chu Qing suddenly stopped and looked at a shop in front of him thoughtfully.

Xiaojiu quietly came behind Chu Qing and looked at her gaze. She saw that it was a medium-sized shop. The shops on both sides sold jade, jewelry, etc., but this one had a large paint plaque with the word "Shi" and looked really inappropriate.

Xiaojiu looked at it for a while and saw several men in the store wearing cardigans busy, calling out to customers. What's even more surprising is that there were no tables and chairs in the shop. Several men set up porridge buckets and bowls and chopsticks in front of the shop. They stopped at the vendor, reached out and handed them to a pair of bowls and chopsticks. They stood by the street, and after eating, they hurriedly returned the bowls and chopsticks. They didn't see the bill paying, so they wiped their mouths and left.

Xiaojiu was surprised, but when Chu Qing heard that he had just finished drinking porridge, he smiled and said, "Brother, please stay."

The young vendor saw that it was a pretty girl, and he stopped hearing the sound and said softly: "What's wrong with a girl?"

Chu Qing smiled, pointed to the shop, and asked, "Brother, I'm really invisible. We are foreigners. Do you have to pay the bill when eating porridge here?"

The young vendor looked along Chu Qing's finger and suddenly realized, "Well, I thought why? This porridge shop doesn't have to pay the bill. They don't serve the porridge on time every morning. Why, don't you go and try it?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qing nodded slightly and said, "But I don't know, these men don't look like good people, why are they so kind?"

The young vendor smiled and said, "Little girl, you don't know anything about this. Haven't you seen the foreheads of those men? I heard that the gods used magic, and it takes one good deed a day to do one thousand to improve. Oh, little girl, I have to go to the market. You might as well find someone to ask clearly. No matter how many, I don't know."

Chu Qing bowed and said, "I'm upset, please."

Watching the young vendor leave, Chu Qing and Xiao Jiu looked at each other and looked at the men together. The men did have things like ingots on their foreheads, like horns, and looked very funny and ridiculous. What’s even more strange is that everyone else has one, but there is a big black man wearing a cardigan with a short shirt with open chest and a bust of hair on his chest like a hedgehog, a pair of triangular eyes and a face full of flesh, but two "horns" clearly grew on their foreheads. They were originally a villain, but they smiled at the guests with great respect.

Some older travelers, after using porridge, have difficulty carrying the goods on their shoulders. The black man smiled and hurriedly ran over to support the shoulders for others. Then he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. He was busy with his hands and feet and was extremely diligent.

Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, but Chu Qing knew clearly the truth about the matter. These people were the rogues who used fake bracelets to blackmail them, and were later rescued by Feng Shuzhu.

The past passed one by one. Chu Qing stood aside and thought for a long time, compared it back and forth, and suddenly realized. She couldn't help but admire Feng Shuzhu's way of dealing with things, and then smiled like a flower. Then she pulled Xiaojiu, who was unknown, and happily walked out of Shimen Town side by side.

The two walked about ten miles on the country road and saw a village from afar. At this time, the sunset first rose, and the red rays of light shone in the countryside, sometimes dotted with dozens of thatched huts and green tiles. The smoke from cooking was rippled by the breeze, connecting them into a piece and floating above the village, and the transformation was endless. From time to time, the chirping of chickens and dogs were heard. On the paths by the fields outside the village, farmers were wearing clothes, holding dry cigarettes, driving oxen, and slowly plowing into the fields. There was a pastoral scenery that was unmatched with the world. It was very beautiful. In the past, except for craftsmen, most of the village still took farming as a business, and lived a leisurely and peaceful life of "clearing the desolate in the morning and returning with a hoe with the moon".

Looking at the peaceful rural atmosphere in front of him, Chu Qing closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Ah, this is just peaceful and leisurely."

Xiaojiu smiled and stood silently at the head of the village with Chu Qing. Suddenly the cloth bag on her body shook a few times. Later, the little fat bear bag poked out from the inside, looked at the scenery in front of her, pulled Xiaojiu's clothes and signaled to release it. Xiaojiu looked at Chu Qing and saw that she was still silent in this comfortable nature, so she did not disturb her, but gently placed the little fat bear bag on the ground.

The little fat bear stood up straight, looked forward and backward again, then moved his fat and clumsy body and entered the countryside fields.

Xiaojiu was panicked for a moment and mistakenly thought that the fat bear had run away and was about to catch it.

Chu Qing, who closed her eyes and continued to feel the breath of the countryside, snorted coldly and said, "Are you worried that it will run away? We have food and drinks, it has eaten too much this morning, so we are going to relax at this time."

When Xiaojiu heard this, he looked at the shaking wheat leaves in the field again, and immediately realized that i.

At this moment, a few young people walked in a panic, dressed in a young man, and were tidying up their clothes while rushing on the road.

One of the young men wearing green pleats whispered: "Brothers, hurry up and hurry up. At this moment, Miss Xiaoxiao must have gotten up early."

Another young man wearing yellow duck trunks said with a lewd smile: "When I think of Xiaoxiao's white arms and thighs, oh, my soul is gone." As he said, he closed his eyes and savored it. He thought that he had not stepped on it, and he ate a dog and fell all over his mouth.

It caused everyone to laugh, someone came forward to help him up, and several people rushed forward in a hurry.

Chu Qing looked at the backs of the few people who were leaving, gave a vicious look, and whispered: "Danny!" She turned around and looked at Xiao Jiu, but saw that she wiped the little fat bear bag covered in dew, and then put it back into the cloth bag.

Chu Qing and Xiao Jiu took Xiao Fei bags and walked into the village along the country road. They inquired all the way and finally arrived at Master Zhao's house.

Chu Qing looked at the exquisitely carved gatehouse and stepped forward to slap the door gently. She saw that a woman in her fifties opened the door. After asking the reason, she asked Qing and the other party to enter the main hall, soaked the farm tea and treated her diligently.

Master Zhao, the original master, went to the city to do business last night and did not return overnight. I thought I should be on the road at this moment, so the woman left the two of them waiting.

The three of them chatted intentionally or unintentionally. The woman was simple and sincere, which made the two of them happy. They wanted to think about what they had entrusted in their hearts, but they would never refuse.

While speaking, an old man who was nearly one year from the corridor, who was similar to a woman, looked sad and resentful. After entering the main hall and meeting Chu Qing and Xiaojiu, he confirmed that he was Master Zhao.

But what the two of them expected was that Master Zhao sat down, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "Two distinguished guests, I am not sure about it. The carpenter's work has not been done much recently. The old man should not refuse, but there are indeed some trivial matters here and I am very troubled. I hope you can forgive me and find another place."

Chu Qing glanced at Xiao Jiu and saw that her face was anxious. She wanted to ask again and again, but she suddenly had an idea and changed her attention. She said loudly: "Master Zhao, I saw you didn't return all night last night. Is there something urgent at home? Although I am still young, I have been walking in the world for a long time. Why don't you tell me? Maybe, what can I really help?"

When Master Zhao heard this, he looked shocked. He looked at the woman who was crying secretly, slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, now, I can no longer care about any family scandals that cannot be made public. The two young heroes are really not to hide from it. My husband and wife are so sad because of the dog's son."

When Chu Qing heard this, she knew that she had some eyebrows and asked, "But I don't know what the man is going to encounter? Please tell me it's okay."

Master Zhao sighed again and said in a while.

Originally, the couple had an only son, about twenty years old. They relied on their wealth in their family and were idle on weekdays. Unexpectedly, many days ago, they fell in love with the girl Xunxianglou, and she was called Xiaoxiao. Not only did they tell me the lot of money, but they were still missing. In addition to asking someone to send a letter and asking for silver, they were homeless. Master Zhao and his wife were worried that their son was emptied from their bodies by wine and sex, and the Zhao family's incense was cut off. The ancient saying goes, "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no descendants are the best." Master Zhao went to search for him many times, but was driven out by the thugs of Xunxianglou. In addition to blaming himself for his lack of discipline, he had no idea for a moment.

After hearing this, Chu Qing laughed and said, "What do I think is this? Don't worry, I promise to take you back to your son, but..." As she said that, she paused on purpose.
