Chapter 32

The third day of the twelfth lunar month.

Sanhuamao stood at the head of Song You's bed very early, first squatted still, looked at his face for a long time, saw that he didn't seem to wake up, wanted to call him but was afraid of disturbing him, so didn't call him It didn't work either, so I chose a compromise method and started to lower my voice, shouting very softly.I am afraid that he will hear, and I am afraid that he will not hear.

Highlight a kink.

There is no way, I am going to buy a horse at the temple fair today.

And Taoist priests are not talking about "I", but "we".

Who would have thought that a small cat could buy a big horse one day?
"Taoist, Taoist, Taoist..."

Song You was finally woken up by her.

He opened his eyes and saw that the cat's head was about to get into his own eyes.

"Miss Sanhua, what are you doing?"

"Well!"

Sanhuamao shrank back immediately, and did not answer for a while, until its eyes blinked a few times, and then said:

"See how you are doing."

"I just fell asleep."

"Get up, let's go to the temple fair."

"No hurry, no hurry."

"Go early, or the horses will be sold out."

"let it go."

"!!"

Sanhuamao turned its head and stared at him with a serious expression. It took a few seconds before it spoke again, urging: "Get up quickly! Hurry up!"

After speaking, he bit the corner of the quilt and dragged him to the side.

"..."

Song You had no choice but to get up.

It only took a quarter of an hour to get dressed and washed, but the three-colored cat followed by her side all the time, never leaving her, watching it intently, like supervising and urging.

"Is Empress Sanhua going out in the form of a cat, or in the form of a human?"

"What do you say?"

"There are many people in the temple market, and the cat is too small. I'm afraid it will be easy to step on Empress Sanhua." Song You paused, "If Empress Sanhua takes the form of a human, she can walk with me. If she goes out in the form of a cat, she has no choice but to go out." Let me go shopping with Empress Sanhua in my arms."

"Take human form."

"Please go to the house."

"it is good!"

Sanhuamao ran back to the house in a flash.

"Taoist priest!"

"..."

Song You had no choice but to forget his clothes again.

"Find me clothes!"

I guessed right.

After a lot of tossing, I finally went out.

The Yuewang Temple is in the east city, so we have to walk for a while, just go a little farther, find a restaurant that we have never eaten before, have breakfast, and then, under the urging of the Sanhua empress, walk to the east city.

Song You carried half a penny, two pieces of official silver, and his arms were heavy and bulging all the way.

The more you go to Yuewang Temple, the more popular it becomes.

Most of the pedestrians around are on the way.

In these years, offering sacrifices is a very important thing, and few things are more important than offering sacrifices. When the birthday of Yue Wang Shenjun, who is widely believed in the local area, and this grand temple fair, no matter whether it is a feudal official, a trafficker or a child raised in The daughters of the deep boudoirs all went out at this time, rushing to Yuewang Temple.

I don't know how many people have traveled all the way from the rivers and lakes.

Song You ran into Yu Zhizhou who was coming to the temple fair by chance, but he didn't go up to greet him, but stopped like other people and watched Yu Zhizhou and him walk away from the crowd.

Faintly heard people around me discussing:

"Is that Lord Zhizhou?"

"Who else could it be?"

"Master Zhizhou's guard of honor is only so few people? What happened this year? Last year it was as long as half a mile!"

"Who knows."

Song You listened, only smiling.

After passing the guard of honor of Zhizhou, and a few steps forward, you can see Yuewang Temple.

I saw crowds of people outside the Yuewang Temple, full of moving heads, the top of the temple was like a cloud of smoke, and a sound of blowing and beating also came from that direction.The street suddenly became very crowded.And every alley centered on Yuewang Temple is full of vendors, setting up stalls, otherwise they are playing tricks, and the crowds are so crowded that they are almost too crowded to walk.

Before the people arrived, the shouting was heard first.

"Walking around the rivers and lakes, selling money but not selling money, the stalls are first to be rounded up, everyone walks by to appreciate the face, just look at it and don't take money.

"Passing through a treasure land, I have no money in my arms, and my belly is screaming, so let's sell some herbal medicine first.

"Herbal medicine grows tall, ten people go to pick it, and nine children will kill their lives..."

Like other common people, Song You couldn't help but stop at the same spot, listening to the humorous jingle-like yelling, a smile appeared on his mouth.

Only if there are these things can it be lively.

"Miss Sanhua follow me closely."

"Where to buy horses?"

"I don't know, look for it first."

"it is good!"

Two figures, one big and one small, walked towards the densest crowd.

This journey has been an eye-opener.

There are jugglers.

Throwing dishes and bowls, climbing poles, walking tightrope, drilling fire rings, putting iron guns in throats, and iron ropes strangling necks are mostly skills that have been practiced hard.

There are monkeys.

The monkey juggler and the monkey cooperated tacitly. One taught the monkey how to do things, and the other pretended to be stupid and funny. The monkey juggler threatened with a knife, and the monkey immediately gave up.Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it is a well-arranged play, but the acting is natural and can make everyone laugh.

There are people who play Shenxiansuo.

When a rope is thrown into the sky, it is immediately covered by smoke and clouds, and the rope becomes straight, and people can climb up along this rope.When the person gradually lost sight and climbed into the clouds, the rope fell down again under the eyes of everyone, the smoke cleared, and there was no one on the top of the head, leaving only screams of panic.

There are flame-breathing ones.

At first, drinking oil and spitting fire only made everyone feel lively, which added a bit of excitement to the excitement of the temple fair, but soon the onlookers discovered that it was more than that-the oil in the man's mouth had been sprayed clean long ago, but as long as he joined in Take a big breath in front of the torch, and it will be like a dragon again.

In the end, they didn't use torches at all, and spit fire out of empty mouths.

Only then did everyone understand that it was the real thing.

So the coppers jingled all over the floor.

There are jugglers.

An empty basin can turn into birds and fish snakes in a blink of an eye, and with a wave of the hand, it can disappear for no reason.Similar to the magic of the later generations, the master juggler also needs a piece of cloth to cover it, either by tricky tricks or subtle quick tricks.

Song You would stop for a while wherever he went.

And Empress Sanhua was still thinking about buying horses at first, but she was gradually attracted by these tricks, so she obediently followed Song You, her eyes widened, staring at the excitement.

Whenever someone came to ask for a reward with a tray, Song You never evaded, and would give a few coppers.

General Jianghu talents are so generous.

It's not that the people in the Jianghu are rich, it's that the people in the Jianghu know the difficulty of going in the Jianghu, and they pay attention to these things, so they either don't read it, or if they do, they will give it to a son no matter how embarrassing they are at the moment.

Just when he was about to leave after reading it, Song You suddenly felt strange, reached out his hand to touch his bosom, and found that half of the money was still there, but the two pieces of official silver had disappeared.

"..."

That's interesting.

Song You turned back again and looked at the middle-aged man who was still performing juggling and carrying skills.

Look around again, applause again and again.

Even in the nearby inn, someone threw money down.

He didn't say anything, just waited here for a while.

After walking around for so long, it was already past noon, and these jugglers and jugglers stopped one by one, saying that they were going to eat, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.

Only then did Song You walk towards the quack entertainer.

This man looked about 40 years old, with a big shoulder and a round waist, and a fleshy face. At this time, together with a few of his subordinates, he was holding a bowl of rice.

It was pretty good, with large chunks of boiled meat.

"The meal is rich with one step."

Song You stood still in front of him and said with a smile.

Following the shadow, the Jianghu entertainer looked up and saw a young man leading a girl. He couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and asked with a silly face: "What is the judge looking for us? We won't start until after dinner."

"It's not a big deal." Song Youyou said angrily, his voice was not high, "It's just that when I was watching the tricks with my feet, I dropped some money on my body. I don't know if my feet saw it."

"Ok?"

The entertainers in the rivers and lakes were puzzled: "The judge lost money, so I should report it to the judge. There are so many people in this temple fair, it is inevitable that there are some thieves among them... The judge will not see that we can do some tricks, so he really thinks that we can transfer things. Everything can be done out of thin air? Could it be that you want to frame us?"

Speaking of the latter, he was already a little angry.

Originally he had a strong physique and a muddy complexion, but once he raised his eyebrows and stared, he lost even the slightest silliness, and only a frightening ferocity remained.

Song You is still gentle and calm:
"I just saw that although the method of waving one's hand is not supernatural, it is still at the peak. It is much more advanced than this one, so I came here to ask."

The Jianghu entertainer's expression froze immediately.

In fact, when juggling, he didn't use tricks to move around, but pure handwork, but he didn't deny it at this time, he only looked at Song You a few times, and then handed it over:
"Dare to ask Your Excellency where to go?"

"In the Fulong Temple of Yinyang Mountain, Song You."

"It turned out to be a Daoist, sorry."

"Don't dare."

"How much property did Daoist lose?"

"20 taels of official silver."

The Jianghu entertainer immediately turned around and waved to the people around him. He neither admitted generously that the property was stolen by him, nor denied it again. I didn't say any polite words like "make a friend", and just let my subordinates take the money.

The two pieces of girdle honeycomb silver are not the two pieces that were lost, but the numbers match.

Song You weighed it twice and put it away.

It can only be said that people in the rivers and lakes are hard to tell good and evil, but they are more or less particular.

"Thank you."

"What a sin."

"But I have another question." Song You asked, "Since you have this ability, why do you do this business?"

"Master Dao was joking." The middle-aged man smiled, and he felt a bit free and easy, "This trick of swaying back and forth is originally a result of the evolution of Jianghu tricks. Besides, these days, we only do things like this. Is it a business to get more money? Or does the Taoist think that pretending to be a master to deceive those nobles is more glorious and easier than this?"

"..."

Song You couldn't help but think for a while:
"rational."

"We also have our rules." The middle-aged man picked up his rice bowl again, and said while digging, "We only take official silver, not copper coins and broken silver. Those who find us and report their origins will all be returned."

"I see."

Song You couldn't help but think about it.

Dayan official silver was cast in twelve taels.Only take official silver, not copper coins and broken silver. On the one hand, it is convenient to carry, and on the other hand, it can also exclude the poor from the face value. It is a mentality of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

The latter one can prevent others from reporting to officials to a certain extent.

People in the rivers and lakes pay attention to each other.

These days are no better than later generations, ordinary people still don't have a high degree of trust in the government, and people in the world have their own solutions to problems, and if they report to the officials, they will be ridiculed by their peers.It is difficult for ordinary rich people to find out that they were actually stolen by this man who was two feet away. Even if they find out, once the money comes back, they will be afraid of revenge from the Jianghu people and will not report to the officials again.

In fact, the risk has been reduced to a very low level.

The risk is even lower if the crime is carried out again.

However, Song You stood in front of him and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being interrogated by the government?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, paused in the action of planing rice, and looked up at Song You: "Could the Daoist be joking with us?"

"I'm curious." Song You's expression was the same as usual, "This is the kind of tricks that have changed in one step. If you meet an experienced headhunter and something like this happens, I'm afraid you will be the first to suspect you?"

"Master Dao is trapped by his own knowledge. In the eyes of most people, this is just a trick to cover people's ears. Even if they know there are ghosts in it, how many people can think of fetching things from the air? Even if someone can respond Come here, we've already left."

"I see, thank you for your advice."

Song You nodded while answering thoughtfully.

"Master Dao, is there anything else?"

"Then I will take my leave."

"Master Dao!"

Song You was about to leave when the man stopped him again.

But the man was still worried, and while looking at him, he asked:
"Don't dare to report to the official!"

Meeting his gaze, Song You thought for a while before nodding.

"it is good."

The man told him very vividly, don't be trapped by knowledge.This man is also a fastidious person. Although Song You is not from the Jianghu, he is willing to accompany him to be fastidious.

I won't report to the official this time.

It's just that you should pay attention to it, and you can't turn black into white and confuse right and wrong.

Luo Catcher has rich experience in handling cases, so he must have doubts, and he will definitely come to ask him for advice, but he still has to talk.

I just don't know if he ran fast or Luo Butou chased him fast.
