Chapter Eleven: (Lust) White Paper Shu

The ox cart master was a man in his forties. He bit the cigarette pole and wrapped the dry tobacco in a white notebook (the homework book for rural children), took out a match and lit a pole, and started smoking.

Seeing me getting into the car, carrying a yellow cloth bag, he tilted his head gently and let out a breath of smoke.

"Not many people of your age are engaged in this industry!"

After saying that, I stared at me with my eyes, and I didn’t look down on me, nor did I pay much attention to it. After all, I am still too young. In people’s eyes, people are all old antiques with gray hair and old age. Young people always think it is superstition. After all, in that special era, there is nothing I can do about it.

I smiled and said nothing, nodded to him friendly. He was not a long-winded person either. He took a sudden breath of cigarette, waved his bullwhip and set off.

I didn't talk to him along the way, thinking about the residential area. The ox cart was shaking on the dirt road. The sky was very gloomy and there was a vague trend of rain. Xiao Shi didn't wake up since he fell asleep yesterday, so I had to put it in a yellow cloth bag.

"By the way, uncle, are there any paper fire shops on this street?"

"You said that paper fire, there is really a family on this street. This man is amazing. Not only is he good at paper, but he also knows yin and yang. People call him Baizhishu!"

"Blank paper?"

"Yes, it's called Baizhishu. Now he is the only one selling it on the street. He has good skills and a good temper, so he is very popular among the people around him!"

When a man talked about this white paper, he was as proud as his son. His expression and movements were not pretended at all. This made me curious about that white paper.

"Uncle, can you take me where?"

I asked.

"It's not far, just turn left after entering the street."

The man waved his hand, and I sat on his ox cart, shaking it all the way, and finally arrived on the street at noon. At this time, the man and I parted at the beginning of the street, because the white paper-sooth shop opened at the beginning of the street, and you can see the paper man and paper horse he placed at the door at a glance!

Following the crowd, I slowly walked towards the paper fire shop. There were not many people at the entrance of the shop, just a few people in groups of three or three. Everyone was looking at what they were going to buy. A man was crawling on the counter, about thirty years old, holding a handful of oil bamboo smoke poles in his hand and two beards between his lips.

Seeing me stepping into the door, maybe it was a strange face, he slowly raised his head and smiled at me.

"Is it a fortune teller or a purchase?"

I was immediately happy when I heard this. I had a rough understanding of some simple appearances. There is a saying in the industry, "Peachers do not look at pedestrians", which means that people in the industry are not for people in the industry. Everyone knows what the appearance is, and they all know some details, and they are afraid of others' jokes when they say it.

From the first glance, the man's forehead was thin but dissatisfied, he had no reputation for wealth, his eyebrows were thin and long, and he was a scheming person. His eyes were the window of his soul. At this time, his eyes were greedy, so he must be trying to cheat me of money!

So I didn't say it out loud, he was actually happy, and I didn't mind playing with him, so I looked around the surroundings, walked to the counter, and stared at him.

"I heard that the white paper is extraordinary in her skills, so I came to test a word!"

Seeing me taking the hook, he smiled a little bit of sinister smiled from the corner of his mouth, took out a pen, ink, paper and ink from under the counter, and knocked the bamboo cigarette pole on the counter foot.

"Write it, the words you want to test!"

There are some physiognomy that can only look at the face, while others need to write, writing a word you want to calculate, so it is called quiz.

After taking the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I spread the white paper on the counter. At this time, the people who bought the goods seemed to notice the situation here, so they all surrounded them. Everyone laughed without saying a word, standing aside and watching the two of us.

I took a brush and dipped it ink, and planned to write the word "Fate" on the white paper, but deliberately less people on the top of my head, and then took the pen to look at him. After he pulled the white paper, he glanced at the words on the white paper and frowned.

"What are your words, this guest?"

Everyone also saw the words in my writing, which were missing people's lives, which immediately aroused everyone's curiosity and came up one after another, and each of them expressed their own different opinions, and for a moment they changed from character testing to character meaning discussion.

"The word is this character, no more strokes, no more strokes, I hope the teacher will answer."

My words made him extremely embarrassed. For a moment, I was either standing or sitting. The bamboo smoke pole in my hand kept knocking under the corner of the counter. Just when he was at a loss, a little Si suddenly ran upstairs and whispered a few words in his ear.

The man relaxed his eyebrows, and he became confident in his eyes when he looked at me. He looked quite proud!

"The characters you are testing are for life, and there are fewer herringbone heads, so you are not here to test characters today, but to buy things!"

He said confidently. After hearing his words, I couldn't help looking up at the upstairs. I saw a door to the room in an accord on the second floor. A lady with a charming charming charm was sitting by the window, holding a cup of steaming tea in her hand.

Seeing me looking at her, I gently pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled. The pair of willow eyebrows bent slightly, and there was a lot of charm!

I shook my head, took my eyes back, and looked at the proud guy.

"Sir, indeed, I admire you!"

"Where, where, I just understand the basics!"

But that's it, the pride and arrogance between his eyebrows were revealed without any concealment. Such a person could not become generous, no wonder that kind of face.

"Since the sir has found that I am here to buy things, then give me one according to the items on this list!"

I took out a list that had been written and handed it to him. After taking it, I handed it to Xiao Si beside me and told him to go down and prepare.

"The things have been prepared, but the customer's word measurement money!"

"You tell me, how much you want, I'll give it to you after testing it."

I knew he would say this, and from the beginning he wanted to cheat me of money, but now he said it, nothing strange is at all.

"Look at what you said, these are all rules, so I can't do anything about it. We usually use this price to measure words!"

After saying that, he raised his two hands with a smile, opened his fingers, and gestured a full ten mark. I was so angry that I was so angry that I was obviously cheating. In that era, the largest face value in China was only ten yuan, which was basically a middle-salary grassroots salary of two months!

Seeing my ugly face, he became more proud. His eyes were full of mockery when he looked at me. I guess he knew that I was deliberately making things difficult for him just now, so now he is looking for an opportunity, so of course he has to deal with me well.

"Guest, you have brought the things you want, it's a total of three or five cents!"

"This is thirteen yuan, ten yuan fortune telling money, and three yuan, five yuan goods!"

Take out thirteen yuan from the yellow cloth bag and I put it on the counter. Since they have tested it, I have to give it money. I will use this money as a lesson.

The man took the money from the counter, divided it into three or five cents and threw it into the counter's money trunk, and then put the ten dollars in his pocket with satisfaction.

"Okay, I bought the things and tested the words. I think I should leave!"

I grabbed the package from the counter, opened it and cleared it up, and saw that there was nothing missing inside. After repacking the package, I bypassed the crowd and walked out.

"Come again next time!"

The man shouted at the counter.

"Sure, certain!"

I waved my hand and went out with my bag on my back. It was already even more lively outside. Compared to the market where we were, it was so different. I looked at the sunshine in the sky. It was still early, so I planned to go and relax and go to the market.

But just a few steps away, I ran into the woman who was in the attic just now. She led a girl and stood there looking at me with a smile on her face.

"Sorry, I bumped into you!"

I apologized immediately.

"It's okay, Lord Du Lingshi, I offended you today!"

She smiled sweetly, lowered her waist, and gave me a special ancient etiquette! I was stunned.

"Why do you mean offense? It's a trivial matter to go out and buy lessons when you go out. If there is nothing else, I think I should go back!"

Since she knew that I was a spiritual master, it should have something to do with the industry, so I was too lazy to mess with her, a guy who looked like a smiling tiger.

"In order to express my feelings, the little woman hopes to invite Master Du Ling to the restaurant in front of her to sit. I wonder if she can enjoy her face?"

"Oh? I'm sorry, I have something urgent to go back. Next time, I'll treat you next time!"

I said perfunctorily that it would be better to be careful before I don’t know what medicine this woman sells in the gourd.

"That's how it's, that little woman is waiting for Lord Du Lingshi to invite him."

A hint of disappointment flashed between her eyebrows, but she followed the words with a smile as if she was both smiling.

"Okay, please be sure to ask if you have the chance, then I will say goodbye first."

He said in secretly that he was going to the market, but after she made a fuss, she had to go home early. Without waiting for her to agree, she hurriedly left with her bag on her back.

"Hey? Why are you so anxious to leave? We will definitely meet again, haha!"

"Let's talk about it when you see it, it's better not to see you!"
