启轩 Extra (49)

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Children in the mountains are used to walking on mountain roads. After walking for a day, the child is still full of energy.

When we arrived at the cabin, it was almost dark.

Nigu took tin cans and wooden bowls to clean, while Niti and Qixuan went to collect firewood.

Ai Hua also wanted to follow.

Gu Jiu said: "Since you're not tired, then stand on your feet." This kid is able to endure hardships, but his temper is still a bit jumpy, so he needs to grind it out.

With a bitter face, Ai Hua stood in the corner and crouched.

Wowotou is eaten with hot soup, and the taste is not bad. Ai Hua ate six steamed buns and drank two bowls of broth.

Niti couldn't help but look at Ai Hua, why does this kid eat so much.

Nigu said with some embarrassment: "Since Ai Hua practiced martial arts with Gu Jiushu, his appetite has increased greatly." Seven or eight-year-old children are growing up and able to eat. In addition, the exercise consumes a lot of energy, so the appetite should not be raised.

Nigu's brother-in-law and daughter-in-law have objections to this matter, and they are secretly planning to separate the family.

Nitti smiled and said, "This is a good thing."

After finishing speaking, Niti tentatively asked Gu Jiu: "Uncle Gu Jiu, I wonder if it is possible for other children in the village to practice martial arts together?"

Gu Jiu was picking his teeth with the toothpick he had sharpened, and when he heard this, he said without blinking his brows: "No time." He started teaching Ai Hua, purely out of boredom, to pass the time. Later, I saw that the child had perseverance and was willing to endure hardships, so I taught him seriously.

Niti was a little disappointed.

Early the next morning, the group continued on their way. Qixuan walked while looking at the scenery on the road. The footsteps were naturally slowed down. Nigu and Niti murmured in their hearts, but they didn't urge Qixuan at all.

Because of the delay, they couldn't reach the town before dark, so the group stayed in the wild again.

Nigu and Niti kept vigil, one in the first half of the night and the other in the second half of the night. For the other three, there is no need for a vigil, as long as they have a good rest.

When it was daylight, Nico dozed off. Suddenly, Gu Jiu jumped up from the ground.

Nigu was shocked: "What's the matter, Gu Jiushu?"

Gu Jiu didn't pay attention to him at all, but ran towards behind him.

After Nigu turned his head, he almost died of fright. There was a big black bear more than ten meters away from them, and that big bear was coming towards them.

Gu Jiu stopped two meters away from the black bear, and then sprinkled a handful of white powder on the black bear's face.

The black bear smelled this and showed a look of lovelessness, then turned around and ran away as if fleeing.

Nigu looked at the black bear's back and couldn't believe his eyes: "Uncle Gu Jiu, what did you sprinkle on the black bear?" It was just a bag of powder, which scared the black bear away.

Gu Jiu glanced at him and said, "Tell you, you don't know either." In fact, he didn't know what the name of the powder was. The thing was given by Ruonan, and the recipe is unknown. If he wanted it, people simply ignored him. Think about it, it's so sad.

Nigu touched the back of his head and laughed twice.

Such a big movement has already awakened Qi Xuan and Ni Ti. On the contrary, Ai Hua still slept soundly.

Knowing that it was a blind bear, Niti regretted it: "It would be great if we could catch it." A blind black man can also be sold for a lot of money.

Gu Jiudao: "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have chased it away just now, but I should have let you hunt it." Except when he hunted and killed wild animals to satisfy his hunger or protect Qixuan, at other times he even killed a little squirrel. He couldn't bear to hurt.

Niti blushed a little. Even if his archery skills are good, he would not dare to hunt and kill the blind man alone. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

After walking for an hour and a half, several people arrived in the town. It was the first time for Ai Hua to come to the town, and everything he saw felt fresh.

Qixuan asked Gu Jiu: "How far is it from the town to the county?"

"Fifty miles away, if you want to arrive as soon as possible, you can rent a carriage."

Qixuan wanted to rent a carriage, but he only had two hundred coins in his hand, so how could he rent a carriage.

So, I can only walk.

In fact, Gu Jiu had fooled Qi Xuan, the standard of living of the residents in this town was not even as good as that of farmers in Fuyu County. When they go to the county town, they just take an ox cart, so they are not willing to spend money to take a horse-drawn cart. So in this town, there are no carriages at all.

Passing by a steamed stuffed bun shop, Ai Hua smelled the smell and couldn't walk.

Seeing that Nigu was reluctant to buy it for Ai Hua, Qixuan bought twenty mushroom meat buns with his own money.

Nigu felt distressed: "What are you spending this money for? I have food here!" One penny is only one meat bun, and it hurts to think about it.

Several people traveled relatively quickly and arrived at the county seat when it was dark. However, at this time, the gate of the county seat has been closed. If you want to go in, you have to open the city gate the next morning.

The five of them stayed at night one mile away from the gate. This night, it was calm.

The next day, five people packed their things and went to the city. Walking to the door, the guard at the door stretched out his hand towards Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan looked puzzled: "What?"

The officer cursed and cursed, and after hearing this, Niti hurriedly handed over forty copper coins, and then said something nice to the officer, and finally the officer let him go.

After entering the city, Qi Xuan said with a dark face: "These people dare to collect the city fee from the common people, they are too bold and reckless."

Gu Jiu didn't know about this either: "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the county magistrate is the earth emperor. He wants to collect protection money, and you dare to block his way of making money."

Qi Xuan snorted coldly: "I won't block his way of making money, but..." He didn't say the following words. It doesn't block the way of making money, but it's the black hat that can take this dog. But don't worry about it, anyway, this dog can't run away.

Qixuan can communicate with Nigu and Niti in a simple way, but if it is too complicated, he can't understand it. So he asked Nigu to ask the locals where the calligraphy and painting shop was.

After asking along the way, I finally found a place. Nigu and Niti saw that the inside was spotless, so they stood outside the door and dared not go in.

Qixuan didn't expect so much, and walked in. He said to the boy who was cleaning, "Where is your shopkeeper? Ask him to come out, I have a painting I want to sell."

Although Qi Xuan's clothes were patched, his demeanor was calm and imposing.

The boy didn't neglect Qi Xuan because of his shabby clothes, he respectfully asked Qi Xuan to sit down, and then shouted outside: "Shopkeeper, someone is here to sell paintings."

The sound was so loud that it made Qi Xuan's ears ache.

Soon, a middle-aged man in his forties came out of it. The man looks very ordinary, and looks simple and honest.

Seeing Qixuan, he smiled and asked, "Guest officer, are you here to sell paintings?"

Qi Xuan nodded, and handed the painting in his hand to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to neglect, he took the painting with both hands, and spread it out on the table.

He habitually looked at the signature of the painter first, and when he saw that the signature was Lay Qixiang, the man's eyes lit up instantly. After waiting for half a year, it finally came.

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Qi Xuan said, "Shopkeeper, what do you think of this painting?"

The middle-aged man came back to his senses, smiled and said: "Your painting is very good, I don't know how to give the price. You wait here first, I will take it in and ask my father to reply to you. Look at this Is it feasible?" Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he still has a certain appreciation ability for paintings. This painting and calligraphy shop is managed by him.

With Qixuan's consent, the middle-aged man carried the painting into the back yard.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Nigu became a little impatient: "Sir, why don't they sell it and find another one." If you want to buy it, you can pay for it or not, just say it, what does it look like to make them wait like this? .

Qi Xuan shook his head and said, "Don't worry." If the old man is really looking at his paintings, it's a good thing. Because when he comes across a good painting, he will appreciate it for a long time.

Seeing this, Nico could only wait patiently.

After a while, the middle-aged man came out empty-handed, and clasped his fists at Qi Xuan: "Sir, my father invited you to the backyard to talk."

Gu Jiu looked at the middle-aged man and smiled lightly. It seems that this person does not know the identity of King Xuan.

Qixuan likes to discuss the art of painting with others, of course, he also likes to discuss the past and the present with others. Having said this, he happily followed to the backyard.

As the middle-aged man entered the room, he saw an old man with silver hair and bony bony demeanor looking at his paintings.

Qixuan bowed respectfully to the old man: "I don't know what to call the old man?" Seeing this old man, he felt very kind.

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "My surname is Tang. Did you draw this painting?"

Qixuan nodded, then bowed and said: "It's my humble work, please give me some pointers." He works behind closed doors, and there is no way to improve his painting skills. Now that he meets someone who is knowledgeable, he naturally cannot miss the opportunity.

Tang Mo asked him to come in just to give him advice. Seeing Qixuan's modesty now is a lot of satisfaction, and this King Xuan is not as unbearable as the rumors outside: "Did you learn from Mr. Shan Weng?" Mr. Shan Weng is Pang Jinglun's name.

Qixuan was stunned for three seconds, and then respectfully blessed another junior: "Mr. Shanweng is my teacher." Pang Jinglun is full of knowledge, and he is also good at calligraphy and painting. He does whatever he wants, so in class, sometimes he talks about the folk customs of various places with Qi Rui and the three brothers, and sometimes he also teaches calligraphy and painting.

Qixuan learned to draw when he was a child, but it was just for fun at that time. It was only after being driven out of the capital by Yuxi that he put his mind on it. He also went to ask Pang Jinglun for advice when he encountered something he didn't understand.

Tang Mo smiled and said: "Don't be surprised! Your painting style is very similar to that of Mr. Shanweng." Pang Jinglun was once one of the first teachers of several princes, and everyone in the capital knows this.

No matter what you learn, a student who has studied with his master for many years will inevitably be affected by it. However, some can get rid of this influence and form their own school later, but these are very few. Most of them can't get out of it, and they will be affected by it all their lives.
