Chapter 132 It is my honor to serve the little fairy boy!
Jifeng was a proud horse. Perhaps he felt restrained by the cart, so he ran very fast along the way.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were both very brave. Not only were they not afraid, but they were screaming with excitement!
Tai Jizu sat on the shaft of the cart, his buttocks numb from the shaking. He was extremely grateful that his wife had spread a worn quilt on the cart floor before he left, otherwise the whole family would have died before even reaching the city.
When they reached the city gate, the old man led the children inside.
Tai Jizu felt sorry for Jifeng, so he quickly unloaded the car and took it to eat grass nearby.
The city is as bustling as ever. Many vendors carry boxes or baskets hanging on their bodies and sell homemade snacks or gadgets along the streets.
The old man found a calligraphy and painting shop that he had been to several times. The young clerk was very enthusiastic and recommended several herbal picture books to Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue.
Of course, the price of atlases with more illustrations and clear printing is much higher.
There are cheap ones, but they are blurry and thin to hold.
The two boys were very conflicted and couldn't make a decision for a long time.
The old man took his granddaughter to buy some straw paper and sat by the door to watch the fun.
Unexpectedly, Zhuzhu pointed to the opposite street corner and shouted crisply, "Grandpa, look, look!"
The old man looked over and found that it was an acquaintance.
The blind half-immortal who had read Zhuzhu's fortune and given him a reassuring divination when he was kidnapped was sitting there stroking his beard slowly.
The old man thought about it, gave his grandson a few words of advice, and then walked away with his granddaughter on his back.
Yang Lihua was a hardworking woman who doted on her daughter very much. She even embroidered flowers on her daughter's backpack, which was very beautiful.
But this backpack looks a bit eye-catching when it is carried on an old man's back.
Especially in this area, there are many embroidery shops and rouge shops, and all the people coming in and out are women, some of whom are laughing and gossiping quietly.
The old man ignored him completely, walked all the way over and sat down in front of Banxianer's stall.
Banxianer couldn't see it, but he immediately revealed the old man's identity.
"Hey, is that Brother Tai here?"
"Haha, old brother Banxianer, I always thought you were pretending to be blind. You really can see more clearly than normal people!" The old man laughed and joked with Banxianer.
The blind Banxianer didn't get angry and replied, "My eyes aren't very good, but my ears are surprisingly sharp. Just when you came over, I heard the women talking about this old man being shameless and even using an embroidered basket. The plump girl he's carrying looks well-fed."
"Do I even need to see this? I guessed it right away! In the entire Tai'an County, you're the only one who loves your granddaughter this much!"
Old Master Tai laughed even more heartily and replied, "Let them say whatever they want. I'm so scared of losing my child that I don't even dare to go into the city without carrying my granddaughter on my back!"
As he was speaking, he changed the subject and asked, "Last time when we had the roof beams put up, I said I'd treat you to a drink. Better today than today, how about today? Let's go have some mutton soup!"
The blind half-immortal swallowed his saliva after hearing this, but still shook his head and refused.
"Let's make an appointment next time. An old friend is looking for me, and I can't move. He's a fool, and if he can't find me, I'm afraid he'll start a quarrel!"
The old man didn't want to ask too much, so he said, "Okay, since you're not leaving anyway, just stay in this city and cheat people. It won't be too late to eat when I come over next time."
The blind half-immortal blew his beard in anger and shouted, "You are the one who is bluffing and cheating. I have the real skills!"
The old man laughed and asked Zhuzhu behind him to say hello.
Zhuzhu was staring at a donkey roll sold by a street vendor, swallowing her saliva. When her grandfather called her back to her senses, she obediently called out, "Hello, Grandpa Banxianer!"
"Oh, okay, okay!" Banxianer lowered his head unconsciously and responded respectfully, then he called the vendor selling donkey rolls over loudly, took out a few coins and bought a big piece for Zhuzhu to eat.
Zhuzhu smiled widely and kicked her chubby feet happily.
The old man wanted to refuse, "I'll buy it for the child, please don't spend money."
Banxianer almost got anxious. He fumbled to bring the donkey to Zhuzhu and scolded the old man in a low voice.
"What do you know? It's my honor to serve food to the little fairy boy."
The old man was confused by his appearance and simply let Zhuzhu take it.
Zhuzhu was so happy that she cried out in a baby voice, "Thank you, Grandpa Banxianer!"
"Hey, hey!" Banxian'er was even happier. He rubbed his hands secretly, then carefully touched Zhuzhu's head, smiling from ear to ear. "Eat as much as you can, little fairy boy. We'll buy more next time you come."
For some reason, the old man suddenly felt a little nervous when he heard it.
He knew that his granddaughter had some magical qualities and a special origin, but secretly, he hoped that his granddaughter was an ordinary child.
In this way, my granddaughter can stay safe and healthy at home, with my family, instead of worrying that she will fly away at any time...
Just at this time, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue finally bought the herbal atlas and ran over to meet up.
The old man quickly brought up another matter and asked, "Banxian, could you please calculate the rainfall this year? The village is about to start spring plowing, but it hasn't rained yet, and everyone is worried. They're afraid it will be like the drought of the past few years, with no harvest at all."
The blind Banxian immediately held out his hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for your patronage. Five cents."
The old man laughed and scolded, "You are such a cunning man. You were joking just now, but when you should charge, you are not cheap at all!"
Having said that, he still took out copper coins from his waist and counted them one by one and gave them to Banxianer.
Banxian didn't use any other props, he just shook the five coins and lined them up on the table.
He fumbled through the coins one by one, his brows etched with relief, and said, "Go back and tell everyone, the rain this year won't be bad, it's just a little late. But it's not a bad thing, especially for your family. It's still a great opportunity. Your fortune starts here!"
The old man was puzzled and asked, "How can it be an opportunity for our family if the rain comes late?
My family can’t sell water to the villagers, right?”
Banxianer waved his hands, his smile becoming more mysterious. "I can't say, I can't say."
The old man glared at him angrily, but unfortunately the old man was blind and couldn't see anything.
The old man simply stopped asking and chatted a few more times. After seeing his granddaughter and grandsons finish their donkey rolls, he said goodbye.
Zhuzhu licked the soybean powder on her fingers and was still enjoying the meal.
The old man immediately paid for four pieces, and specially held the oil paper wrapped ones as he passed by Banxian'er's stall, and then he took his grandchildren out of the city.
Banxianer seemed to "see" everything clearly. He stroked his beard and laughed, causing passers-by to look at him secretly.
"Poor thing, poor thing! He was already blind, and now he's mad too."
"I don't know. It looked fine before."
Banxianer heard it clearly and almost choked on his own saliva. He quickly stopped laughing and continued to pretend to be aloof and noble.
At this moment, an old man in ragged clothes suddenly appeared from nowhere, pulled his sleeve, and almost caused the stall to fall down!
