Grandpa is not vegetarian

After wandering around on the ox cart, taking a few naps, and walking for about four hours, I finally arrived at the county seat.

Because he entered the city from the west gate, Mu Yunyi raised his neck and watched for a long time, barely making out the three characters "Wangcheng County" in the shadows.

To enter the city, you have to pay a city fee, two coins for adults, one coin for children, and twenty coins for the boss pulling a cart of firewood. Even if the boss's firewood truck got here, he couldn't even enter the city gate, but he was going to the town originally, so I don't know if there will be a charge there.

Not far from the door is the West Market. Boss Niu pulled his car to the firewood market. There is a special place to park livestock carts. Besides him, there are several firewood and charcoal sellers, each guarding a piece of land.

Boss Niu told Mu Yunyi: "Don't go out to beg for food. There are many people in the county town. It's not safe for you to run around in an unfamiliar place. Uncle will take you to the restaurant at noon, and go back to the village with uncle at night. In the future, don't go out. coming."

Mu Yunyi was very moved, and bowed to Boss Niu again: "Uncle Niu, your great kindness, I will never forget it, but the old saying goes well, relying on the mountain to fall, relying on everyone to run, we men are very grateful." Dear friend, I am already grateful if you can take me into the city, but I can no longer eat and drink for nothing, anyway, I have to give it a try, and I will come back at night and talk to you Go home by car."

Boss Niu sighed: "You child... well, that's it, I go out of the city at [-]:[-] every afternoon, and you will still come here to look for me when the time comes."

"Thank you uncle, you are such a kind person, you will definitely be rewarded in the future!" Mu Yunyi turned and ran out of the firewood market.

In ancient counties, there were not many people, and it is incomparable with modern times. In the bustling center, there are more than a dozen streets and thirty or forty alleys going back and forth. Mu Yunyi worked tirelessly and spent half a day roughly After running around, I knew what I knew, and then I specially chose a "Yueran Tea House". I found an open space in a place that was out of the way in front of the door, cleared my throat, looked at the passing crowd a little nervously, and mustered up my courage. Sing out loud: "Hangzhou, the beautiful scenery is unparalleled in the world! On the shore of the West Lake, there are exotic flowers and grasses that smell the fragrance of the four seasons! During the spring outing, the Su Causeway is full of pink willows and green, and in the summer, the lotus flowers are all over the pond! In the autumn view, the bright moon is like Clear water, look in winter, auspicious snow covered the hills! What I mean is..."

The clear and clear childish voice rang out with ups and downs, which immediately attracted the attention of passers-by. Everyone looked at this strange child in amazement. The son of a rich and noble family sang so beautifully, with a loud voice and clear words, some people could recognize the story after listening to a few words: "It's the White Lady!"

Ask if you don't know, "What white lady?"

The people before said very proudly: "This young man is singing about the White Snake, a white snake who practiced in Mount Emei, listen to it, the white snake of Mount Emei descended to the lower realm, annoyed the Jade Emperor in the sky, and sent Fahai to subdue the demon , The White Snake has a husband named Xu Xian..."

He deliberately showed off, and his voice was too loud, and the people around him criticized: "Stop talking nonsense there! Listen to what the young master sings!"

Mu Yunyi is a very emotional person. He liked watching sketches and listening to cross talk since he was a child, especially Guo Degang's cross talk. Although he didn't have the opportunity to go to Beijing, he can say that he has seen all the ones that appeared on the Internet. Not only watched, but also downloaded. In MP3 and MP4, in his life, in addition to painting and practicing calligraphy, he only talks about cross talk. He also formed a cross talk club in college, rented a gymnasium, five yuan a ticket, and the venue was full. , not for making money, just for fun.

Singing the lyrics of Taiping in public like this, he was a little jerky at the beginning, but later he sang more and more smoothly. He sang a piece of "Legend of the White Snake" from beginning to end. At least 50 people gathered around. Many people praised: "This young man sings really well, and the tune is also novel, but he has never heard it before."

Finally, with a steady swing, Mu Yunyi clasped his fists with both hands, made a circle around him, then straightened his back and said, "Grandpas and grandmas, uncles, aunts and aunts, let me introduce myself first. The boy's surname is Mu, Mu Gui Mu Ying, named Yunyi, used to have a standing room and lying on the ground in his family, with vast hectares of fertile land, and servants and servants. It was only because he was doomed a few days ago that he was brought here by a kidnapper and injured his head. I don’t remember anything, I’m lonely, living in a foreign country, I don’t have a fixed property, and I don’t have any help to rely on. To put it bluntly, I’m begging you for food today, but you have to have a backbone. I can’t just ask everyone for money. Speaking of which, I have read poetry and books since I was a child. I know astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, harmony between people, yin and yang, gossip, strange gates, and armor. Let me tell you a story here, everyone listened well, reward the boy with a bite of food, the boy is very grateful, the rich will give you money, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, help me give me a personal place, it’s comfortable to hear , help me to say hello, you have accumulated great virtue!"

Everyone saw that the child was dressed differently, he sang beautifully just now, and now he spoke fluently and generously, it really didn't look like he was raised in a small family. He said that his background was pitiful, and his words revealed The incomparable self-confidence and strength of character are all secretly amazed. What I said, I feel very close to each other in my heart. I feel that some things I don’t understand are very inscrutable. Everyone was surprised and thought to themselves: This young master is really capable.

"Let's stop talking, let's get back to the book!" Seeing that the person hadn't left, Mu Yunyi quickly began to say the opening poem and cleared his voice, "The old couple were eating in the courtyard, and a fly came, and the fly took it away. A piece of rice, the old man chased him to Sichuan in a fit of rage, his wife waited for three months, the book did not arrive and the letter was not passed on, so he invited a fortune-teller to do the math, and it was a waste of money and anger!"

After the last sentence was finished, there was a roar of laughter from the crowd. Most of the people laughed out loud. A small number of those who were used to being serious had the corners of their mouths turn up, and more and more people gathered.

Mu Yunyi continued: "This divination is really good. If you go to Sichuan to chase flies, just for a meal of rice, then no matter whether you can chase them back or not, he will also waste money, provoke anger, and pay for it. Fortune-telling is taught in all corners of the world. Among them, they rank in the middle and ninth ranks. We haven’t seen fortune tellers in the city, so is there any one that is accurate? Yes, but there are too few. Experts are not common, and the common ones are charlatans who use their words to make their way up Crawl, watch words and expressions, talk at both ends, pay attention to pulling back and forth, look at everyone's dress, look and demeanor, you will know who you are, whether you have been going well or not recently, and when you see old men and old ladies, you will say that your son and daughter are going to have a catastrophe, Let you take money to relieve evil spirits, see that you are rich and easy to talk, then ask for money to get money, ask for officials to get officials, flatter horses, make you happy, let you go out to get rewards."

Mu Yunyi remembers what Guo Degang said, when it comes to cross talk actors, they just chat with the audience and unknowingly bring people into the plot, and mutual life is not a business, but an "acquaintance". The more familiar you are with the audience, the better you can make money , so first use these words to get closer to everyone, those who have been deceived in the crowd all nodded secretly, thinking that this young man really has some knowledge.

Speaking of this, Mu Yunyi went to grab a middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe: "Oh, uncle, you got a fortune during the August Festival today..." He made a long voice here, observing The other party looked on, and immediately continued, "It should be a sum of money, but it's a pity that the villain gave it to you. You haven't got it yet, right?"

The middle-aged man showed a surprised expression on his face: "How do you know?" Then he said to the people around him, "I was going to improve a new mooncake in the shop during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but a villain ruined it!"

The crowd roared in unison: "Young master is a living god! Those of us neighbors don't know about the things in shopkeeper Qiu's store, but the young master can figure it out!" Immediately, someone asked Mu Yunyi to give them the same amount. Do the math.

Mu Yunyi retreated to his original position, and said with a smile, "Actually, although I have read the Book of Changes, I don't know how to do fortune-telling." The big guys expressed their disbelief one after another and asked him to do the calculation. Mu Yunyi hurriedly waved his hands, " Don’t be impatient, everyone, I’ll tell everyone how I calculated for this uncle right now, in a few words, if you have learned it, go back and calculate for others.”

The crowd immediately quieted down, and the big guys all opened their eyes and ears, wanting to learn this unique skill from Mu Yunyi.

Mu Yunyi said to everyone: "First of all, I see that the material of the clothes this uncle is wearing is not coarse cloth, and his skin color is not very dark. He must be from a rich family. This style is most likely a businessman, and businessmen have Debt transactions, especially during festivals, I went to ask him, you will get a lot of money during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I dragged it here for a while, if the uncle really got the money, his expression should be like this." Mu Yunyi learned After a while, he continued, "His expression just now is that he didn't get any money. I immediately retracted my words and let the villain rush me--right? That must be right!"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd: "That's how you tell fortunes, little boy!"

"It's not just me, most fortune tellers do it for people. The story I'm telling you today is the story of a fortune teller. This person is not from this dynasty. He lived in the Song Dynasty. , Beijing Daming Mansion, surnamed Huang, nicknamed Huang Banxian, why is it called Huang Banxian? This man has a unique skill, which is to tell fortunes for people, and he is also very clever. Whenever it is windy and rainy, he can know in advance ..."

Through the previous series of foreshadowing, the interest of the big guy has been completely aroused, he didn't speak, and stood there quietly listening to Mu Yunyi's stand-up comic "Huang Banxian". He has no partner now and can only speak stand-up comic Fortunately, he is also a fan of Liu Baorui, the king of stand-up comedy. Laughing, the atmosphere is getting better and better.

There is no cross talk in this world yet, nobles can still fly eagles and horses, play cuju cockfights, play music and dance, like this kind of middle class in remote counties, there is no festival, that is, drinking tea, chatting, happy for a few days A friend set up a table in a restaurant, punching orders, and at best spent a small amount of money to find a girl on Yanzhi Street to have a good time. The storyteller has not been to Wangcheng County for several years. Legend, so listening to Mu Yunyi's talk, I found it novel and interesting, and when it came to the lively place, I kept applauding.
