The next day, early morning.
Qin Luo and Jin Jiao walked out of the inn.
After the heavy rain, the streets of Yanbei City were washed clean, and the people's faces were filled with joy as they discussed the notices that the government had just posted.
With continuous warfare in the north, taxes have always been high, and many people used to go hungry. Now that taxes have been reduced, the people on the streets are naturally all smiles.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the people.
Qin Luo was also happy.
At the Flying Goose Escort Agency, Song Xiao was practicing his boxing in the courtyard. His punches were accompanied by thunderous sounds and gusts of wind.
Song Huan walked into the courtyard with a smile, "Good news, tariffs have been reduced, so we can now escort goods along the official roads."
Upon hearing this news, Song Xiao thought of Qin Luo and was both surprised and delighted. "Father, it must be Brother Qin's doing."
Song Xiao told Song Huan about his conversation with Qin Luo.
After listening, Song Huan patted Song Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Xiao'er, you have done some good work."
"Hahaha."
Song Xiao was a little embarrassed.
...
Xuanwu Street.
Lu Ajiao waited for Qin Luo on the street.
Many of the passersby knew of Lü Ajiao, and they noticed that Lü Ajiao's eyes had regained their sight.
"Ah Jiao, is your eye better?"
Lu Xiaobao answered first, "My sister's eyes were cured by the Taoist priest, which cost two taels of silver."
Just as they were talking, Qin Luo and Jin Jiao arrived at the street. Lü Xiaobao pointed at him, his little face full of excitement, "That's the Taoist priest, he's really powerful."
Lu Ajiao smiled radiantly as she handed the newly made bamboo flute to Qin Luo. "Master Dao, are you satisfied with this bamboo flute? If not, I'll make you another one."
Qin Luo took the yellow bamboo flute. It was very light and beautiful, and it didn't feel prickly to the touch. This bamboo flute seemed to be the bamboo cane that Lü Ajiao had used yesterday. "I like it very much."
He noticed that Lü Ajiao looked tired; she must have stayed up all night to make the bamboo flute, so she hadn't rested well.
A middle-aged man with a limp approached, a fake smile plastered on his face. "Master Daoist, could you please treat my leg? I was bitten by a snake a while ago, and it hasn't healed!"
Qin Luo glanced at the middle-aged man in brocade robes and chuckled, "Five hundred taels, and I can help you get treatment."
The middle-aged man frowned upon hearing this. "Master, this is too expensive. You only charge two taels of silver to treat her eyes, but I have to pay five hundred taels for a medical consultation. Why don't you just rob me?"
The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger.
Qin Luo chuckled and asked, "Do you want to be cured?"
Can you cure it?
"I can only promise to do my best."
The middle-aged man didn't think much of it. He limped away, leaning on his cane. "Heh," he chuckled, "spending five hundred taels to treat my leg is less worthwhile than buying a few more maids to serve me."
"Hahaha."
The surrounding people couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Upon hearing about Qin Luo's exorbitant treatment costs, the onlookers quickly dispersed.
Lu Ajiao asked in confusion, "Master Dao, why did you charge us two taels of silver, but charge him five hundred taels?"
"Because he has five hundred taels of silver."
Qin Luo answered truthfully.
"I see."
Lü Ajiao was very clever; she understood Qin Luo's meaning. No wonder he only asked for two taels of silver yesterday, no more and no less.
"Peck, peck, peck!"
Lu Xiaobao squatted on the ground and teased the golden horn.
His little hands picked up and put down, wanting to reach out and touch the golden horn, but afraid of being bitten, so he could only keep pecking, trying to get its attention.
Golden Horn looked at him with disgust.
Lu Ajiao smiled gently, "Master Dao, it's a bit noisy on the street, so it's not convenient to teach. If you don't mind, you can come home with me, and I'll teach you to play the bamboo flute there."
"OK."
Qin Luo played with the bamboo flute.
If you learn it, you can acquire multiple skills.
...
Chicken Tail Alley.
The people living here are all poor.
The siblings lived in an old house at the deepest part of the alley, next to a bamboo grove, in a quiet and secluded environment.
There are two trees in the yard.
One of them is a loquat tree.
The other one is also a loquat tree.
One tree stands tall and majestic, while the other is as thin as a rake.
The courtyard was deserted, with only the siblings' clothes hanging there. Qin Luo didn't ask anything unrelated to the bamboo flute.
Lu Xiaobao ran ahead, carrying a bowl of water from the house, spilling quite a bit along the way. "Master Daoist, please have some water."
Lu Ajiao pursed her lips, somewhat embarrassed, "Master, our family doesn't have tea leaves, only well water."
"fine."
Qin Luo picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. The well water was cool and had a slightly sweet taste. "This well water is delicious!"
"hey-hey."
Lü Xiaobao smiled.
Dark-skinned face, snow-white teeth.
Looking at his innocent smile, Qin Luo thought of his junior sister and returned the bowl to Lü Xiaobao, saying, "Thank you."
"You're welcome!"
Lü Xiaobao left with the bowl in his hand.
"Master Dao, please have a seat."
Lü Ajiao brought Qin Luo a bamboo chair.
"Thanks."
Qin Luo was very polite.
Lu Ajiao sat opposite Qin Luo and took out a bamboo flute. "Master Dao, you should hold the flute like this."
"is that so?"
"Yes, the flute should be laid flat."
Lü Ajiao continued to teach Qin Luo basic finger techniques.
Qin Luo studied very diligently.
Golden Horn lay quietly beside Qin Luo.
Lu Xiaobao didn't sit idle. He left the courtyard, and half an hour later, he walked into the courtyard carrying two large bamboo rats, his face beaming with joy.
Seeing his sister teaching Qin Luo to play the bamboo flute, Lü Xiaobao didn't disturb her. He carried the bamboo rat into the kitchen, and the sound of chopping on a cutting board came from inside.
"Peck, peck, peck."
Lu Xiaobao came out carrying a bowl.
The bowl contains the internal organs of a bamboo rat.
