I saw this man wearing rags, looking at him in his 50s, and he was thin and thin. Looking at his face, he had a deer-headed and mouse-eyed look, and his mouth was particularly pointed. He looked like a big mouse no matter how he looked.

Judging from the man's outfit, he looked like an ordinary old beggar. Huiming also saw a bag on his back and a crutch more than half a person tall in his hand. There was also a huge gourd on the head of the crutch.

As soon as the man came in from outside the yard, a man from Wumingbai there immediately scolded him and asked the beggar to go out quickly.

The person who spoke was Hu Jiu. He was slightly stronger than others and his voice was thicker. He was the leader among these unknown whites. After his scolding, the old beggar stopped immediately.

"It's too heavy. Let me avoid it here!" The old beggar lowered his head and shrank his neck, his hair was poured into strands by raindrops, and the raindrops were still flowing down his hair.

"Where is this place? You can come in? Get out of here quickly!" Hu Jiu refused the old beggar's request without hesitation.

At this time, the old beggar smiled and said to Hu Jiu, "I guess you must be very bored to eat here on a rainy day."

"The little old man is doing some tricks. You let me take shelter from the rain here. I will perform for you all, so you will be happy and satisfied!"

Due to their incomplete physical conditions, it is extremely difficult to make a living. Moreover, their temperaments are generally somewhat strange.

Today I heard that someone performed a trick for them. Hu Jiu was stunned for a moment. But after thinking about it, he finally felt that something was good to relieve his boredom. So he nodded and agreed and let the old beggar take shelter from the eaves.

The old beggar immediately thanked him and walked over with a smile on his face. After he sat cross-legged on the ground, the Wumingbai who was eating urged him to start performing tricks.

The old man smiled, and he turned around and touched the bag behind him for a long time, and took out a small melon seed from it.

Then, his two shriveled and dirty fingers clamped the black melon seed and slowly inserted it into the cracks of the stone bricks under the eaves of the corridor.

The little monk Huiming saw the old beggar smiling from a distance, and his mouth was gone, just like an old woman. This guy looked a little scary under the dim sky. Huiming couldn't help but hold the steamed cake in his hand and shrank backwards.

The old beggar reached out and took a palm of water into the rain dripping from the eaves of the corridor. Then he poured the rain water into the crack of the brick where he had just stuffed the melon seeds.

The nameless white leader Hu Jiu saw him pretending to be a god and making trouble for a while, but there was no movement. He couldn't help but feel a little angry, just when Hu Jiu was about to scold the old beggar.

Suddenly,

I saw an oil-green seedling suddenly emerged from the crack of the brick. The seedling seemed to grow as if it was windy, twisting its body quickly, shaking its head and growing taller!

Just as everyone was watching in surprise, the seedling quickly crawled on the ground, and in an instant it grew into a vine as thick as a finger, and the green leaves on it slowly stretched out.

Just as everyone was looking at the strange scene in front of them in surprise, they saw a tender yellow flower suddenly blooming on the top of the vine!

Suddenly, the Wuming Bai and the monks in the corridor all became interested. They surrounded each other, and dozens of pairs of eyes were looking at the vine that was growing and blooming in place without blinking.

I saw that the flower quickly withered and then began to expand and grow rapidly under the withered flower stems.

After a while, a fist-sized melon grew under the flower, and everyone watched with their own eyes as if it was blown by air, becoming bigger and bigger!

At this time, the people in the yard were already exclaiming. None of them expected that this beggar-like old man would become such a magical trick!

Before everyone could wake up, what was going on? I saw that this melon had already expanded to the size of a human head, with green skin and black lines on it, and it was round and very cute.

The old beggar reached out and picked the watermelon from the furry melon vine. Then he pushed it with his hand, and the melon rolled on the spot and rolled towards Hu Jiu's eyes.

"The old man's little trick is called "The melon is ripe and the stem falls." The old beggar smiled and said, "This cold melon is just right to quench the thirst for all the adults!"

Watermelon was planted in the Tang Dynasty and was called cold melon since then. However, until the Song Dynasty, no large-scale cultivation was formed.

So this thing is quite rare. Although some monks and Wumingbai who were present had heard and watched it, few people had eaten it.

Hu Jiuyi saw that the old beggar had created such a precious fruit, and he couldn't help but smile. So they found a knife and cut the cold melon into pieces. Everyone in the corridor divided a small piece.

Huiming only felt that the watermelon was cold and sweet and delicious. However, the slice in his hand was thin and small, and he ate it clean after a few strokes.

"I didn't expect that you, old man, would have a chance!" Hu Jiusan finished eating the watermelon in two bites, then stroking his palm and laughing and said to the old beggar: "Are you anything else?"

"Of course there are other tricks!" The old beggar smiled and said, "Sir, give a steamed cake to the old man to eat. I have even more strange tricks for everyone to play with!"

When Hu Jiu heard this, he immediately took out a steamed cake from the clay pot and threw it at the old beggar.

The old beggar caught the steamed cake and put it in his bag. Then he picked up the cloth bag and walked to the clay pot used to store the steamed cake.

These cakes were almost divided by one or two of the people present. Now the clay pot is empty.
