The cooks and waiters have all been dismissed. Shopkeeper Tian only has to push the cart himself, sweating and panting. After all, the old woman and daughter are of the female generation and have little strength, so they can only help. Shopkeeper Tian I wanted to throw something away for the first time, but I was reluctant to do so. [There are almost all the books you want to read.

There are people coming and going on the street, either on the way to the government office or on the way back from the government office. Shopkeeper Tian likes to listen to the wind and rain, abandoning his family property and not carrying much with him. There were only a few people who rushed to Dongming City rashly. The acquaintances in the neighborhood marveled at the fact that shopkeeper Tian had always been calm, but how could he get impulsive as he got older and lived longer? Some people joked, half jokingly and half seriously, that since Lao Tian fled the country shirtless, why not give the wine shop to his home? , how much is it worth two cents? Shopkeeper Tian was red-faced and extremely embarrassed. He used the cart to cover up his embarrassment, but his daughter Tian Jiao remained calm and unmoved.
After a journey and a rest, we were not far from Dongming City. There were many fewer pedestrians on the street. Tian Jiao saw someone driving a cart from a distance, and he walked forward calmly. Let's go, the man sitting in the car is a middle-aged man, short in stature, with messy hair like a bush, wearing an old sheepskin coat, swinging a long whip, looking like an old god. appearance. (.
Tian Jiao knows him. He is a distant relative of Shopkeeper Yang of Xingfu Restaurant. His nickname is Gouzi. He works in the kitchen. He is a hard-working man who can sharpen knives well and drive cars well. He has a big appetite, and he has to eat three or four bowls in one meal, and he still complains that it is not enough. The cart is pulled by two loud donkeys, fat and strong, with shiny hair, and they look strong with every step. The flesh of the donkey slides under the skin, which is pleasing to the eye. Only a well-fed donkey can be so moist. It seems that shopkeeper Yang has collected more food and grass than can be eaten. He is afraid of making people jealous, so he only feeds as much as possible.
Shopkeeper Tian sighed. The Yang family had two donkeys and a big cart, but he could only push the cart with all his strength. Man, this is so annoying! But on second thought, he was luckier than those ordinary people who were still hesitating.
Tian Jiao glanced at his father, trotted forward, and fought with Gouzi. After saying hello, Gouzi stopped the donkey cart. Shopkeeper Yang opened the curtain and poked his head out, looked around a few times, exchanged a few words with Tian Jiao, and gave Gouzi a few words. Tian Jiao bowed and thanked him. p>
Gouzi jumped out of the car and drove, quickly unloaded a yelping donkey, led it to Shopkeeper Tian's cart, tied the donkey, handed the reins to Shopkeeper Tian, and grinned, showing off his scorched teeth. Shopkeeper Zhanger Jingang couldn't figure it out. He gently hit his sore lower back with a smile on his old face. When his daughter came back, he asked in confusion: "What's going on? What's going on?" < /p>
Tian Jiao helped his mother get into the car and wrote lightly: "I told shopkeeper Yang that two acquaintances of the immortal masters pointed us to Dongming City. Don't miss the opportunity, so he took the initiative to take the donkey to the city." Lend us, knotA good fate. "
Although the daughter is ugly, her brain is bright. Shopkeeper Tian was very relieved and nodded: "Well, immortals and mortals live together in Dongming City. We are new here, and we have to take care of each other. is a good thing. "
Seeing that his father understood, Tian Jiao smiled and said: "Let's go quickly, enter the city, settle down, and return the donkey to Shopkeeper Yang. Dad, when the time comes, you go, and I will accompany my mother
p>. "
Shopkeeper Tian led the braying donkey in front, the old woman sat on the carriage, and her daughter followed behind. The three of them approached Dongming City amidst the sound of hoofbeats.
People gathered outside the city in twos and threes, carrying the old and the young, and walked timidly toward Dongming City. Duan Wenhuan was sitting in a pavilion at the gate of the city. In the shed, he recorded the names and household registrations of the visitors in a thick account book and arranged their residence. Cao Jinren handed them a small wooden sign and gave them Yuanyang Pill, one pill each, and told them to take it immediately. Shopkeeper Yang and his family entered the city first. Shopkeeper Tian followed behind him and waited patiently for a while. When it was his turn, he reported with a smile on his face. Duan Wenhuan wrote the names of the three people clearly one stroke at a time, saying: "For a family of three, go to Ji Chou and have six households. "Cao Jinren handed over three Yuanyang Pills and a small wooden sign to him. He had been in Scarlet Star City for many years, knew Shopkeeper Tian, and had had contacts with him. He smiled at him and explained a few more words, "I am the one who On the street, ugliness is the way, don't go astray. ”
Shopkeeper Tian bent down and thanked him, then respectfully exited the pavilion, called the old woman and daughter to come over, and handed Yuanyang Pills to them one by one. Tian Jiao held it in the palm of his hand. , looked at it carefully, and saw a bean-sized pill with a lovely green color. She put it under her nose and sniffed it, and there was a faint medicinal fragrance. She raised her neck and swallowed the Yuanyang Pill. The medicine melted in the mouth, and a warm heat penetrated into the texture of the organs, and the spirit was lifted.
Suppressing his excitement and curiosity, Shopkeeper Tian pretended to be calm and led the donkey. Stepping into Dongming City
Just after passing the city gate, the donkey barked like a withered crop, its hooves fluttered, staggered, lowered its head, huffed and puffed, and managed to count. "It's broken. Isn't it because the donkey is exhausted?" No way, this little road will be paralyzed..."
At this juncture, a braying donkey is not cheap. Shopkeeper Tian is a little confused. Shopkeeper Yang is kind-hearted and lends him help in times of need. They are just donkeys, so don't cause any trouble. Instead of forming a good relationship, it will ruin the friendship between the two families.
Tian Jiao pulled his father's sleeves and motioned for him to look up. The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and realized that Shopkeeper Yang's cart was parked beside the street. The originally majestic and braying donkey had become like a withered crop, staggering, and its front hooves gave way and fell to its knees. Even his head was dropped.
“What is going on? "
Tian Jiao smiled and said: "Those two donkeys don't have Yuanyang Pill to eat! ”
Shopkeeper Tian suddenly realized that he had no choice but to take the donkeyHe took off the bag and went forward to discuss it with Shopkeeper Yang. A sudden misfortune came unexpectedly. Shopkeeper Yang had a grimace and didn't know what to do. Gouzi knelt next to the donkey, put its head on its legs, opened its mouth and looked at it for a long time, then leaned to his chest to listen to the sound of the gourd. He said: "You shouldn't. You're obviously fine, so why are you paralyzed?"
Shopkeeper Yang was also confused for a moment, but after Shopkeeper Tian gave him some advice, he immediately understood that to save these two donkeys, he would have to ask for two more donkeys. Granules of Yuanyang Pill. He was a shrewd man, weighed the pros and cons, thanked each other verbally, called down his wife, concubines, son and daughter, told Gouzi to look after the cart and donkey carefully, and then went to the city gate to wait and say hello. The people who moved into Dongming City selected strong men to help them, and were promised money and dry food to help push the cart to their residence.
Shopkeeper Tian returned the donkey to Gouzi, thanked him, and pushed the cart to Jichou Liuhuxing.
A straight thoroughfare stretches forward, paved with bluestones, smooth and smooth. At the end is a hill shrouded in mist. You can’t see carefully from a distance. The streets on both sides are named "Stems and Branches". , the heavenly stems are horizontal streets, and the earthly branches are vertical streets, which are slanted, wide and narrow, of different lengths, and well-proportioned, dividing the houses into neighborhoods of different sizes.
Tian shopkeeper looked on both sides, waving his head like a rattle, and found his street in no time. It was a long and deep street, winding and winding, with no end as far as the eye could see.
