Chapter 54 Farewell to the old and welcome the new. (21/88)

"Count the marriage, count the good and bad luck, marry and take the marriage, break the ground after entering the house..."

It was already late at night, and there were fewer pedestrians on the street, leaving only the lanterns all over the street with a hazy glow.

Behind the fortune-telling table, the little girl with a pigtail sat on a tall chair, her calves swaying in the air and kicked her skirt. There was still a candied haws left in her hand, and she was still shouting fortune-telling horns.

After shouting for a while, no customer came to the door. Xiao Taohua looked down and put the silver ingot in her arms. She just put the silver ingot on the table, but her mother said that she would not show off her wealth, so she could only put it in her arms, but it still looked very good.

Xiao Taohua raised her hand and touched it happily, as if she was energetic again, and continued to shout:

"Count the marriage, count the good and bad luck, marry and take the marriage, break the ground after entering the house..."

On the street stall next to it, a woman wearing a headscarf sat on the roadside. A few animal skins were sold on the stall, and a lot of them were left.

As the sky gradually got late, the woman put away the cloth spread on the ground and turned it into a package. Then she looked at the people coming and going on the street, looking for familiar figures.

"Mom, why haven't Dad and Uncle come back yet? I have earned a silver ingot, and Uncle will definitely praise me..."

"I'm busy, I'll be back in a while..."

The woman smiled and turned her head to look at the little peach blossom who had not been at peace for a moment:

"Xiao Taohua is lucky, so she will learn fortune-telling in the future. She earns a silver ingot every day, so her parents don't have to run around the world."

"whee……"

Xiao Taohua touched the silver ingot again and thought for a while: "It's that brother. I'll say hello to uncle later. I'll do it for the elder brother tomorrow to calculate when to get married."

"I think Xiao Taohua is smart and I only give me a silver ingot. How can I come back tomorrow?"

Xiao Taohua blinked her big eyes and muttered in her skirt, "I know how to tell fortunes. I can't collect money from my elder brother. He gave me a deposit and would definitely come tomorrow, otherwise I would return the silver ingots to him. Uncle said he had to make money by relying on his ability..."

The woman sighed softly, raised her hand and touched Xiao Taohua's head, and looked back at the street.

Not long after, there was no one on the street, and Xiao Taohua was still shouting: "Count the marriage, count the good or bad..."

A figure came out of the courtyard wall behind the fortune telling stall. When it landed, it staggered and breathed hard.

Xiao Taohua turned her head on the chair, her eyes lit up and she raised her hand and said:

"Uncle is back!"

"Hey~ be good."

Wu You, wearing a Taoist robe, wrapped his sword in black cloth on his back. His slightly pale face showed a smile. He stepped forward and lifted the package on the ground, turned his head and said softly:

"Closing the stall, leaving."

The woman froze in place without looking back, her body trembled slightly with naked eyes, hesitated for a moment, leaned over and picked up the happy little girl.

Little Taohua lay on her mother's shoulder, looked around from side to side, and pouted:

"Where is Daddy?"

Wu You walked towards the street with a package and said softly: "Your father goes out to do something, we will leave first, and we will be back in a few days."

The woman bit her lips tightly, her eyes filled with blood for a moment, but there was no sound. She just hugged her daughter silently and followed her.

Xiao Taohua looked at the fortune telling stall thrown on the street and said with some confusion:

"Uncle, I forgot to collect the stall..."

Wu You wiped the sweat beads rolling down his forehead and smiled intimately: "I don't want the stall anymore. Don't you want to go to Jiangnan to see lotus flowers? Let's go to Jiangnan together and buy a new table when you go to Jiangnan."

"ah……"

Xiao Taohua blinked her big eyes and shook her head like a rattle:

"Let's leave the day after tomorrow, wait for Daddy."

"Your father may have to work hard for a few more days and have to hurry..."

"But...but..."

Xiao Taohua pursed her lips, groped in her arms, and took out a silver ingot: "Today I promised a big brother and asked my uncle to tell him fortunes. I gave all the money. Come here tomorrow..."

The woman held her palm tightly, patted her daughter on the back, and smiled a little: "That big brother is a hero, I won't come tomorrow, and the money is rewarded to you..."

"No, no, the elder brother must come over. If uncle doesn't tell fortunes, he has to return the money to him..."

Wu You's nose was bleeding, he raised his sleeve and wiped it, and said with a smile:

"I'm more anxious today, I'll give it back to him if I have the chance."

"ah……"

Little Taohua lay on her mother's shoulder, looked at the end of the street, pinched the silver ingot for a long time:

"But... But the elder brother comes back tomorrow... If you can't find me, you will say I'll lie to him..."

"Well... uncle will calculate it for you. If you meet him in the future, you will return the money to your elder brother at that time... People in the martial arts world are concerned about arrogance. Don't you want to learn kung fu? Uncle will teach you when he goes to Jiangnan. When you grow up, you are also a martial arts world, he won't blame you..."

"oh……"

The night wind is drifting, and the three of them are getting farther and farther away...

--------

In Qingshi Lane, the lanterns outside the Sun's shop swayed in the night wind, and the waxy handwriting on the wine banner was a little blurred.

Manager Sun brought the towels and carried the stools one by one, putting them upside down on the table.

When the last bench was lifted, a 'cracking' sound came from outside, which was the sound from the bluestone slab of the ironware, staggering.

Manager Sun had run a wine shop for his whole life. He heard too much of this sound. He put down the bench in his hand again and walked outside the wine shop and took a look.

In the dim and dull alley, a man like an iron tower walked slowly, hunched over, and an iron butt was held on the ground. The blood slid down with the bright gunshots, and it drew a long thin line in the alley like a wolf's hair.

The man in a tight black dress had a torn hat, his hair was scattered, and he had many knife edges on his body, some of which were deep enough to see the bones, and the flesh and blood were turned out, and his scattered hair mixed with blood was pressed on his face, making his face almost impossible to see clearly.

Manager Sun looked at it, shook his head gently, returned to the wine shop, took out a jar of wine from the house, and placed it in hot water to warm it.

"Shopkeeper, come and make a pot of wine."

A hoarse voice rang out, blood foaming in his throat.

Xue Yi walked into the wine shop with a blood-dropping spear and sat down next to the only bench, breathing a sigh of relief.

Blood dripped from all over the body, dyeing the ground that had been darkened over the years.

Manager Sun sighed softly and thought for a while:

"Her Old Wu?"

Xue Yi breathed heavily, removed the iron spear into two sections, placed it neatly on the table. After thinking about it, he took a rag and wiped the blood of the iron spear clean.

"Old Wu is good at light skills and takes Jiaxiao away. I, Lao Xue, have no worries in my life, I just can't put down a single drink of wine and a gun, so I'm here for you."

"Who will the gun be left?"

"Look for someone with destiny. If you can live until my daughter comes, give it to me... It's better not to come here. This world is not interesting. If I had known to listen to your elder, "content and happiness", haha... It seems I can't be happy now... Old Man Sun, tell me the truth, is there any good wine hidden? If there is one sip, I will give me a sip, and I will have less regrets..."

Manager Sun sighed, took out the warm wine jar, took out the wine bowl and placed it on the table in front of Xue Yi, opened the wine plug, and poured a bowl:

"Yes, the broken jade flakes I brewed when I first opened the shop are not too much. I took a sip and took a sip and was always willing to take it out in the end. So someone used to name it, "Guillotine."

"Haha...guillotine...good name, suitable for the situation!"

Xue Yi rubbed his blood-stained hands, picked up the wine bowl and smelled it. His dim eyes became clearer. He picked up the wine bowl and put it to his mouth, and then gulped it all.

"Uh--I'm so happy... I owe money to drink, come down and ask me..."

Smack-

The wine bowl fell to the ground and broke.

Xue Yi's head hit the table, and his hands were hanging down weakly.

The wine shop was quiet and there was no sound.

Two sharp iron guns were placed on the table, reflecting the glimmer of light from the lanterns outside.

Manager Sun took a few glances and carved a small peach blossom on the iron spear rod with a sharp blade.

Manager Sun shook his head, raised his hand and picked up the two iron spears, walked to the back room, and sighed faintly and dissipated in the night wind:

"After entering the world, it is common for a wife to divorce, and dying on the street is a good end. How many people can get through..."

Chapter 4, 9,500 words, which is also a big update.

Another long week has passed, and the big guys are as powerful as ever. From April 28th to now, it has been exactly two months, and they have been breaking previous records almost since the first day of opening the book.

After all, I only have 700 recommended votes for the first book, and the second book is on the shelves for 400,000 words and 500 collections. I am satisfied with the current results. Of course, I also hope to write them better so that they can be seen by many people.

Having written this, I have some small comments.

The book "The Prince" is actually good at martial arts, fantasy, and fairy tales, because its core is the story, and the setting only needs to be slightly changed, and the story is still the same story.

It is just like the quote in the introduction: Intrigue in the temple, love, hate, love, anger, sorrow and happiness in the city are nothing more than chess pieces, intertwined on the chessboard, bursting out with lights of fire.

This "firelight" refers to the stories triggered by the intersection between people.

The reason why I chose to classify history is that I used to write about history classification and I am more familiar with it.

Secondly, historical texts are the category that is closest to reality, second only to urban reality. In terms of historical classification, they only make the story look closer to reality and make each character look more realistic.

As for the final grades, I am not worried. After all, no matter how bad the grades are, it is impossible to be worse than before. As long as you are moving up, there is still another one in this book. If the grades are not good, it can only be said that the level is not enough, but the level can be slowly tempered. I can only finish one review book from beginning to end, not to mention that there are more than 10,000 book friends supporting it now.

The new week has begun again. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be available this week. To be honest, I have been a little uncomfortable in the past two months. After it is released, I don’t have to worry about the number of words. Recommendations and data, just write them in a silence.
Chapter completed!
