Chapter 133 A pair of happy old enemies!
"Hey, hey! You, Old Wang, are really going to kill me! Not only do you not support my business, but you also want to smash my stall!" The blind Banxian grabbed the table tightly and started complaining. He was so angry that he puffed his beard. He no longer looked like an immortal.
The ragged old man had no idea that he was wrong. He steadied himself and let go of the table, then he smoothed down his messy hair and started searching behind Banxian's table.
"Hurry up! Is there anything to eat? I'm starving. I've been hiding in the mountains for half a month, and the soldiers guarding the gate won't let me in. I can only find another dog hole to hide in!"
The blind half-immortal was disgusted and felt his hand touching his arms, so he quickly called the vendor who sold donkey rolls, bought two more for his old friend, and took two bowls of coarse tea from the stall next to him.
The vendor who sold donkey rolls was very happy, because today's fortune fell into the hands of the blind half-immortal.
In just one morning, I actually sold six or seven dollars here.
Seeing that there were still two or three pieces in the basket, he simply squatted not far away from the stall and decided not to leave.
Old Wang, who was dressed in tattered clothes, was really hungry. He ate a piece of donkey rolls in a few bites, and after finishing it, he drank some coarse tea in one gulp. Then he sat down and started to talk about the past.
"You old blind man are simply killing me! Didn't you say the Chalcedony was in the mountains to the south? I've been searching for it for half a month and was nearly eaten by a wolf, but I haven't even seen a trace of it! No, you have to compensate me. If you can't find the Chalcedony, I'll eat and drink with you from now on!"
The blind, half-immortal-like man's hands exerted force, pulling out several strands of his beard. He gritted his teeth and argued, "You also said that this herb has a special characteristic. It only blooms in the morning, falls after noon, and melts when it touches mud! You couldn't find it because you were unlucky. Why blame me? Besides, the herb must be in the mountains to the south. There's no way I was wrong!"
Old Wang didn't listen at all and started to act like a rogue.
"I don't care. I saved your life on the roadside that year, and you have to repay me! If you don't help me find the fragrant chalcedony this time, we're not done!"
The blind half-immortal was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. "What a sin! What a sin! I should have gone to see the King of Hell!"
Having said that, he still fumbled to take out a few copper coins from the table, which were the hard work fees he had previously obtained from Mr. Tai.
After shaking and arranging the copper coins, the blind half-immortal actually exclaimed "Huh" in surprise.
"What a coincidence!"
Old Wang took off his pointed-toe shoes and was banging them hard, trying to knock off the dirt on the soles.
He asked casually, "What's so strange? Have you found the location of the fragrant chalcedony? I've searched all over the mountains and still can't find it. Don't lie to me again, or I'll burn your beard off!"
The blind half-immortal gestured to protect his beard, not daring to argue with the old rogue any further. He replied, "Although I haven't figured out where the fragrant chalcedony grows, I have figured out who this opportunity belongs to. Wait until I take you there. This family might be able to help you find it!"
"Then what are we waiting for!" Old Wang jumped up immediately and hurriedly pulled the blind Banxian to hurry on his way.
Blind Banxianer was too tired to get angry, so he quickly cleared the table and put it in the stall selling coarse tea.
The vendor selling donkey rolls just yawned secretly, and when he looked up again, the blind half-immortal had been dragged away for a long distance.
It can be seen how anxious Old Wang is!
In Taijia Village, Grandpa Tai just arrived home with his grandchildren.
Tai Yongning was very happy to get the straw paper and bowed to his grandfather to express his gratitude.
The old man patted his shoulder, his eyes showing relief, but more of regret.
What a good child, talented and hardworking. If his legs and feet had not been injured, he would definitely have passed the imperial examination.
pity……
Tai Yongning guessed what his grandfather was thinking and lowered his head slightly.
At this time, Zhuzhu had already walked forward with the oil-paper bag and sat down in her brother's arms.
"Brother, eat this! It smells so good and is delicious!"
Tai Yongning quickly took the oil-paper package and smiled when he saw the donkey rolls inside, "Eat it, Zhuzhu. Second brother doesn't like sticky snacks."
Zhuzhu blinked her big eyes, very confused.
How could my second brother not like to eat such delicious food?
Are you afraid of your teeth getting stuck?
Tai Yongning saw through his sister's clear eyes and couldn't help laughing.
"Zhuzhu likes to eat, so eat more. Just eat, brother!"
The old man couldn't bear to hear this, so he stuffed the oil-paper bag into his grandson's hand and said, "Just eat it if Zhuzhu asks you to. There are four pieces in total. You brothers and sisters can have them all. There's no need to leave any for Zhuzhu."
As he was speaking, Zhimaqiu came running in from outside, and started barking as he smelled the fragrance.
The little black dog stared at his owner with his eyes as big as black beans, full of accusations against him for stealing good food.
Zhuzhu quickly helped her brother hold the oil paper bag and argued with the puppy, "I can't give it to you, Sesame Ball, this is my brother's!"
Sesame Ball was not convinced and whimpered, feeling very aggrieved.
Tai Yongning kissed his sister's head, opened the oil paper package, first tore off a small piece and threw it to Zhimaqiuer, and then insisted that his grandfather and sister eat a few bites of the rest before he put it into his own mouth.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue ran in from outside, their faces full of impatience.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, my mother said this herbal book is really good. Let's go into the mountains!"
"Go into the mountains, go into the mountains, Grandpa! Find herbs and sell them for silver!"
The two boys jumped up and down, and the room instantly became lively.
The old man got a headache from all the arguing, so he said, "Then go pack up your things. We'll go into the mountains after lunch."
Before the two boys could run out, a villager suddenly shouted from outside the yard, "Sixth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, there are guests at home!"
The old man was surprised and stood up to go out. Zhuzhu immediately hung on him, obviously wanting to watch the fun.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue have already stepped out of the threshold, only Tai Yongning continues to practice calligraphy quietly.
The old man slowly walked towards the far door and asked, "Who's here? Why don't you just come in?"
The villager who reported the news had a strange look on his face and whispered, "Uncle Six, you should take a look yourself."
The old man was puzzled, but as soon as he went out, he knew what was going on.
There were two people standing outside the door, one was an old man in tattered clothes, looking as miserable as a beggar on the street.
The other one was a familiar figure, the blind half-immortal whom I had just met in the city. However, his original immortal aura was gone now. His shoes were dirty, his clothes were torn, and his hair was disheveled, like an innocent fallen leaf ravaged by the autumn wind...
"Banxian'er, where are you from? Were you robbed?" The old man asked sincerely, without any intention of joking.
The blind half-immortal seemed to have found his relative's child. He immediately shook off Old Wang's arm and rushed towards the old man.
"Brother Tai, help me! This old man is such a scoundrel. He bullied me, a blind man who couldn't see the road, and almost made me fall to my death!"
