Chapter 6 On The Road

"Evil~~, evil~~"

With thick and dense hair, round forehead, a pair of big clever eyes and a pair of ingot ears, a clean white cotton shirt and shorts embroidered with puppies, he is a very cute little boy.

No matter who it is, as long as they see it, they will take a second look and smile kindly.

It's just that, now, except for the mother of the child, everyone is far away, and they don't even take a look at it.

Xu You looked at such a child in amazement, who had been holding a paper bag and vomiting since getting in the car.Xu You didn't understand how such a small child could vomit.

"Here is a piece of ginger, take a slice." Chen Zhibei went out and walked around, and when he came back, he held a piece of ginger in his hand and handed it to the child's mother.

"Thank you, big brother." The child's mother is a middle-aged woman in very clean and tidy clothes. She has a snakeskin bag in her hand. The bag has never left her hand. Even when she is taking care of the child, she will always One hand rests on the snakeskin bag.

The middle-aged woman took out a small knife from one of the outer pockets on the snakeskin bag, carefully cut a piece of ginger, and coaxed the little boy to put it in his mouth.

Probably because he vomited too much, the little boy didn't feel the smell of ginger, so he obediently held it in his mouth, looking pitiful.

Not to mention, this folk remedy is really effective, and the child really doesn't feel uncomfortable after taking it.

"Come here, big brother, eat some red dates. I brought them from my hometown. They have been washed clean and there are no pits."

Chen Zhibei took a few and put them in Xu Wei's hands, "It's quite popular, eat it."

Xu Er thanked gratefully, then picked up one, and ate happily.

Red, often represents sweet, ripe, edible.

Xu You's eyes can't distinguish colors, his world is only black and white.When I was young, there were often children who took raw fruit and told Xu Er that it was ripe, and tricked Xu Er into eating the raw fruit.

Xu Er would be fooled every time, but only Chen Zhibei had never deceived Xu Er.Later, except for the ones in Chen Zhibei's hands, Xu Er never ate fruit outside, no matter whether the fruit was in season or not.

"This is your brother. You two brothers have such a good relationship. It's not like our family. The children are very young and not very affectionate." The middle-aged woman joked with her arms around her quiet young son.

"No, it's from a village." Xu Wei quickly explained, don't embarrass Brother Beizi with his small arms and legs.

"Then your relationship is really good. You went to work in the city together? It's great to have a companion. Back then, my eldest son ran out by himself. When we first arrived in the city, there was no one to talk to. When the middle-aged woman talked about the eldest son, her face was full of pride, "It's better now, I found a daughter-in-law from the city, and I'm here to see my daughter-in-law."

"Congratulations." Chen Zhibei put on a blank face, he really couldn't tell whether it was a polite word or a real congratulations to the other party.

But the middle-aged woman obviously didn't care, "Are you also going to Shanghai? What are you going to do?"

"My third uncle has a shop there, let's go to my third uncle's place." Xu Wei looked at the little boy who was quietly sitting next to his mother, took out the walnut kernels from home, and handed them to the little boy.

The little boy looked at his mother listlessly, saw the middle-aged woman nodding, then quickly took it, said thank you, and then ate the walnuts in small bites.

"It's good to open a shop. I heard that in the magic city, the streets are full of big business owners. My kid doesn't have that ability. He worked for half a year before learning the craft from others. He worked as a cook in a restaurant and learned it for three years before he was born." He opened a small shop by himself, so he can make ends meet.”

Xu Wei also felt that as long as everyone has a skill, they will not be hungry no matter what, "It's not easy to learn a craft."

"That's right, what my little brother said was that it was difficult at the beginning, but now I've made it through." The middle-aged woman nodded in agreement.

Although Xu You said that he has been helping out at home since he was a child, but because of the premature baby, his health is not as good as it looks.

In addition, since leaving home, I have been in a state of excitement, and when the train staggered into Shandong, my two eyes began to fight.No matter how much Xu You wanted to open his eyes, he couldn't control them.

"Sleep for a while." Chen Zhibei looked at Xu Wei who was struggling to stay awake, and patted the pillow of the sleeper, motioning for him to sleep.

Xu Wei shook his head in a daze, "Second Master said, you have to be vigilant on the train, there are too many thieves on the train now."

"You sleep first, I'll watch over you, you wake up, I'll sleep." Chen Zhibei forcefully pushed Xu Wei onto the bed, and then sat against the window, already looking at Xu Wei, and seemed to want to look at him It means to rest only when you fall asleep.

Xu Er thinks about it, this is good, otherwise, after such a long time, he can't stay awake all the time.Besides, the other party had served as a soldier and was more knowledgeable than himself, so he nodded and took out Tang Tong Pan Hu Xizhen from his bag, intending to continue to see the former owner of Xizhen in his dream. banquet.

Chen Zhibei watched suspiciously as Xu Bai took out a yellow copper block and held it in his hand to sleep. He didn't understand the value of that thing, and he had to hold it in his hand when he needed to fall asleep.

Xu You has been able to only see the former owner of Xi Zhen, between the ages of 13 and 23, and then when he falls asleep holding Xi Zhen, he will randomly see the scenes he has seen before.

This time, Xu Er relived the scene where the other party entertained relatives and friends at home.On a beautiful spring day, a waterside pavilion, a garden with an exotic style, a group of very beautiful, but graceful, elegant ladies, gather together, or sing poems and sing together, or get together in three or two to write Words and music, the grace of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, are fully displayed.

When Xu Wei woke up, it was already five o'clock the next morning. Xu Wei thought to herself that she had slept for eight hours, and she was too slack.

"Are you awake?" Chen Zhibei leaned against the window, as if he hadn't changed his position, holding a newspaper in his hand, reading it carefully.

"Wake up," Xu Wei blushed, "Brother, go to sleep, I, I wake up, I'll just watch over." As he said that, he got up quickly, obviously forgetting, in fact, the two bought it. They are all hard sleepers, and there is no need to sleep on a bed at all.

Chen Zhibei was not polite either, turned over and lay down on the bed, took off the coat that was covering the outside, put it on his body, "Call me at ten o'clock.", then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

At ten o'clock, Chen Zhibei opened his eyes, and saw Xu Wei staring at the two servings of instant noodles on the table, sucking his saliva hard, he didn't look like a young man who was almost 20 years old at all, but Like an eight or nine-year-old doll.

Seeing that Chen Zhibei woke up, Xu Wei straightened her body, "Brother, you're awake, I was thinking of letting you sleep for a while."

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Chen Zhibei looked at the instant noodles, "Where did you buy them?"

"Just now a cart came over, one yuan each, and a cup of warm water." Xu Wei scratched his head, "Brother, things in the city are really expensive. This side is only fifty cents in our place."

Although it costs fifty cents, Xu Wei has not actually eaten it, but the second master said that poor families are rich on the road, so you should not be too frugal about what you eat and use on the road.Xu You didn't understand it very well, but it didn't prevent Xu You from carrying it out.

"Then eat it, it won't taste good if you soak it any longer." Chen Zhibei rubbed Xu Wei's head, then picked up a bowl of instant noodles, blew on them, and started to eat.

Seeing Chen Zhibei start, Xu Er quickly and happily picked up his share, and started eating with a small fork.

Not to mention, the taste is really good, much better than homemade noodles, no wonder they are so expensive.

At noon, the train passed a large transfer station, many people got off the train, and many people got on the train.

Xu Wei and the others had the most people changing in this carriage.After all, these days, there are still a small number of people who have traveled across most of the border by train. Most people just wander around the provinces around their homes, feeling that they have traveled a long way and have seen a world that they have never seen in their entire lives.

When the train started for the first time, except for the mother and child opposite the two, the rest of the people were all changed.

The new neighbor, Jiqiu, was a man in his 40s, carrying two snakeskin bags, which seemed to be heavy, and a big cloth bag on his body, with a simple and honest smile on his face.

Chen Zhibei frowned and looked at the other party, and then shielded Xu Er behind him without any trace.

Xu You hid behind Chen Zhibei, carefully looking at the other's cloth bag with his eyes, as if there were four or five kittens scratching it in his heart, itching.

Soft and solemn bright yellow, surrounded by a circle of somewhat dull bronze color, the halo almost enveloped the whole body of the middle-aged man.

It was the first time Xu Wei saw such a big halo.Before that, the biggest halo I had ever seen was that small wooden sign.

After reading the notes, Xu Wei knew the name of the small wooden sign, Song Xiaoye Zitan Ebony Prayer Sign for Safe Entry and Exit, with a purple-black halo like an umbrella.

The man was very talkative, and he quickly became familiar with several other people. Even a middle-aged woman would talk to him while looking at the child.

"So, brother, you collect second-hand goods in the countryside and sell them in the city? Can you make money?" A young man who also went to work in the city asked curiously.

"Those who make money, people in the city now like to buy these old things. Moreover, the money given should be several times more expensive than the new ones. I just heard people say that I can make money in this way, so I collected them in my hometown village. I bought a lot of things, and I plan to sell them in the city." As he spoke, he smiled honestly, "This is the third trip, and the money I earned before is enough for me to marry my son."

"Really? People in this city are really strange. They still like old things that have been used by others." The young man was even more surprised when he saw the seriousness of the other party's words. "What are those? If I really earn money, I won't work Now, I also go back to the village to collect some old things, and sell them in the city for money so that I can marry a wife."

"Okay, let me show you." Then he opened the big cloth bag that he carried with him, "If you have any old things at home, you can sell them to me. If you sell them yourself, you have no connections, no acquaintances. will not trade with you."

There is an incense burner, a string of prayer beads, two candlesticks, and two wooden fishes in the cloth bag.

"Brother, you came from a temple, right? Why are they all used by monks?" The middle-aged woman clasped her hands together and recited a word of Buddha when she saw the things the man took out.

"Oh, this is something from a dilapidated temple near my house. No one has been there for a long time. It is still there. I brought it and exchanged it for money. I can also save some dowry for my daughter." Middle-aged The man smiled, with an expression of unwillingness to waste.

But Xu Yi felt that the man's smile was a little fake, and Xu You didn't like him very much, but Xu You knew what the object with such a big halo was, a small dark incense burner.
