Chapter 15 Entanglement
In front of Lord Huang's green tile and white wall very elegant mansion, there was an old beggar with a sloppy head wrapped like a mummi. Next to the old beggar, there was also a broken gossip flag pieced together with rags. The gossip on the flag was crooked like a ghost.
The doorkeeper wanted to drive her away several times, but the old beggar just refused to move. A beggar squatted in front of the mansion of the state government. The servant felt that it was not appropriate, so she went to ask the lady. The lady said, "The year is approaching, and the beggar is also pitiful. Let's send her a pair of silver." So the servant put a pair of silver in the account room and said, "Life should be self-improvement, and everything should be earned with both hands." The kind of motivational words gave the silver to the old beggar.
The old beggar wrapped tightly and like a big steamed bun said thank you in her voice, twisted her body with great effort, and held all the fortune-telling guys around her in her arms.
When the servant saw that the old beggar had left, she returned and closed the door.
The Spring Festival is approaching these days, so the day of visiting Lord Huang's house has not been interrupted. Well, another visitor came in the afternoon, and the little man ran to open the door and welcomed the guests into the door. Inattention, he saw that the old beggar did not leave, but moved his position from the door of the mansion to the diagonal opposite. While he was stunned, two and a half-year-old little boy in the same white clothes came out of the door and ran to the old beggar's fortune-telling stall. The little man was shocked. The two guys were the twin sons of Lord Huang. The whole house was full of precious pimples. The little man had no choice but to run closer to follow.
"Hey, can you tell fortunes?" One of the two snowballs pointed to the old beggar's bright eyes and asked.
The old beggar rolled her eyes, fiddered with her broken flag, and didn't say a breath.
"Are you deaf?" Another snowball asked in surprise, and its cold red nose sucked.
"Two young masters, it's cold outside. Let's go back quickly. In a while, my wife will find that you have run out and will be punished." The little one was so anxious that he rubbed his hands.
"This old beggar is very interesting. I like the flag in her hand. Go and bring it to me." The snowball that had been leaking from the domineering side gave orders with a serious face.
"Young master, this...isn't that good? It's cold outside. Let's go back to the house to make a fire. The little man named Ergouzi accompanied him carefully, smiled flatteringly, and stretched out his hand to pull the young master.
As soon as the snow ball twisted her shoulder, she shook off the two dogs. She rushed to the old beggar's fortune-telling stall and reached out to take the gossip flag. The old beggar did not move at all. No matter how the snow ball was pulled, she did not move at all. Seeing that he could not win the flag alone, Xue Tuanzi quickly waved to his brother: "Second brother, come and help!" As a result, another snowball also rushed in and fell into a tug-of-war.
The child's strength is small, and the two still seem to have insufficient strength together. The second dog was thinking about how to send the strange old beggar and how to coax the two young masters back. At this moment, a person came out of the door. The second dog turned his head and looked as if he had seen the savior. He waved his hands excitedly and shouted, "Mr. Huangfu!"
Two snow balls heard Mr. Huangfu's four words and spread their hands together. The two arrows flew to Huangfu Chong's side, holding one of his legs respectively, and their little hands tightly grasped the hem of his robe. The snow ball that leaked on the domineering side was very restless. One small claw pulled Huangfu Chong's belt, and the other hand changed its gesture to grab his sleeve and tried hard to climb on him. His mouth was sweet and greasy, shouting "hug, hug..." In this way, Huangfu Chong hung two baby koala babies on his body in an instant. He stood there and couldn't move, so he had to smile helplessly and gently patted the two snowballs.
The old beggar also stood up, staggered a few steps, and came to Huangfu Chong as if to join in the fun. She pulled his sleeve and said, "Sir, I think you have a good face and extraordinary temperament. How about calculating for you for free today?"
"Mr. Huangfu, tell us a story!"
"Mr. Huangfu, we want to listen to the story! Continue to tell us the story of the blind bear!"
Two snow balls tossed around unrelentlessly.
Huangfu Chong stood on the steps and pulled the corners of his mouth with a wry smile. He looked at the two excited snow balls on his body and made a gesture.
The old beggar said, "Brow your hand."
Huangfu Chong looked at the old beggar suspiciously and handed his white knuckle slender hand to the old beggar's hand wrapped a piece of black rag to keep warm.
The old beggar took his hand and looked left and right, poking from time to time, shaking her head and sighing frequently.
"What's the matter, old man?" Huangfu Chong raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The prince has been unlucky recently!" The old beggar looked up and said vaguely, because most of her face was wrapped in cloth. When she spoke, the cloth on her mouth trembled, which was particularly interesting.
"How do you say this?" Huangfu frowned.
"The prince's bad luck shines on the top, and the haze on his head is dense and black, and disaster will appear soon. Looking at the red star above the prince's head, the white light covers the court, and the marriage line is wrong. I'm afraid the marriage is also a little unsatisfactory. The old beggar half squinted and calculated, and her bright eyes were covered by four-fifths by her eyelids.
Huangfu Chong didn't say anything.
"Is my old lady right?" The old beggar asked slowly.
Huangfu Chong didn't have a breath.
"It's a blind cat that meets a dead mouse, old lady, don't be proud. However, if you really know the fate, you can make a move. The two dogs watching the fire across the shore interrupted at this time.
"Mr. Huangfu, continue to tell us stories!" The domineering snowballs shouted again.
"Yes, yes, tell the story of the blind bear!" Xiaoxue Tuanzi also shouted.
The old beggar glanced at the two snow balls with the afterglow of her squinting eyes, and then said, "The old man came out this time to leave home privately. The reason is that the old man forced marriage, and the young man was reluctant. My old lady still calculated that the prince's fiancee is a girl surnamed Lin. Is that right?
This time, Huangfu Chong nodded slightly, and his face turned a little white.
"Then what's the solution?" The onlookers seemed to be more anxious than those involved.
"Don't worry, the nobleman who hit the prince has appeared. Just seize the opportunity and keep her by your side. The old beggar narrowed her eyes again and said mysteriously.
"Who?" This time, Huangfu Chong finally asked questions.
"Is there a girl who wants to worship you as a teacher recently? Ha ha, you don't have to deny it. My old lady has figured it out. As long as the prince takes her as an apprentice, other troubles will naturally be solved. She is the lucky star of the prince and can solve the disaster for the prince. The cloth on the old beggar's mouth fell together, and there was some moisture. In winter, fortune-telling is not easy!
Huang Fu Chong smiled and said, "Then why can she solve the disaster for me? Can't others do it?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the two snowballs stuck to his body swayed around on his body. He was really worried about whether his belt and sleeves would suddenly break. Alas, the little dolls were really difficult to fight.
The old beggar coughed dryly, lowered her voice, approached him a little, and said mysteriously, "Because she has been unlucky and has been unlucky, and her life is not worth mentioning in front of her. She can suppress those little things."
"Uh..." Huangfu Chong wiped his forehead with a thoughtful look.
"Does the prince now know what to do to transfer?" The old beggar squinted and asked, and her eyes turned quickly.
"I know."
"That's good. My old lady should also close the stall, sir. See you later."
The old beggar talked and shruged up and prepared to go back to the stall. Unpreceedly, he was pulled by the second dog, and the second dog looked excited: "living fairy, can you count it for me? Can Xiuxiu and I get together? Also, how is my old man who lives in the countryside? How many years can he live?
"My wife has a rule for doing business, which only counts one person a day. Otherwise, it won't work if it's too much. I'll calculate it for you next time, and I'll see you later!"
The old beggar packed up her things and left. Huangfu Chong looked at her limping figure thoughtfully.
In the evening, Huangfu Chong went to the dilapidated alley again.
When he was outside the gate, he found something strange in the house. There was no cooking smoke on the roof. It was almost the Spring Festival, and every family would keep on fire from night to going to bed. And the door is also locked strangely. It is not locked from the inside and left outside. Could it be...
"Miss Su! Is Miss Su at home? Huangfu Chong knocked on the door and shouted loudly.
No one answered for a long time, and no one came to open the door.
Huangfu Chong was in a hurry, waved his palm and fell to the ground with a bang. He rushed into the room, and there was no fire in the hall, and Su Siman was nowhere to be seen.
"Miss Su! Miss Su!!"
He saw a bulging burden and some dry food on the table. He was a little relieved to find these things.
After hesitating for a moment, Huangfu Chong went to Su Siman's room, raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Miss Su, are you in there?"
No one answered him. He didn't care about etiquette and pushed the door open with a little force.
A big bulge bulged in the center of the bed. Huangfu Chong was still a little worried. He gently lifted the quilt and saw Su Siman shrinking in the quilt like a top.
"Miss Su, wake up!" He turned his face away from looking at her, put down the quilt and shook her shoulder across the quilt.
"Who..." Su Siman's voice was like a mosquito, and his body curled up under the quilt moved slightly.
"It's me, Huangfu Chong."
Su Siman moved again and finally slowly got out of the quilt. His face was red, his eyes were frightening, and his eyes were full of tears.
"What's wrong?" Huangfu Chong saw that her face was wrong and quickly reached out and touched her forehead. So hot! He frowned, "Miss Su, why are you sick if you haven't seen her for three days?"
"It's my fault that made Mr. Huangfu worry." Su Siman wiped his tears and wiped his tears.
"Don't say that. I haven't taken good care of you these days."
"I don't blame you. It's not my fault. I shouldn't beg you to accept me as an apprentice and embarrass you. I have already thought about learning martial arts, and I don't expect it. It's a joke for me to learn martial arts. Since Mr. Huangfu said that Qing Ran had been rescued, I was relieved. I will leave here tomorrow and leave for Jiangnan.
"Miss Su, please don't say that. I'm wrong this time, which made you suffer." Huangfu Chong sighed repeatedly and said with concern, "How many days have you been sick?"
"I'm not sick..." Su Siman said weakly.
"Don't be stubborn in the girl's family. If you are sick, you will be sick. If you want to be treated, how can you hold on?" Huang Fu Chong scolded, but he was ashamed and worried.
"No, I don't want to bother you anymore. I know that Mr. Huangfu has been very busy recently and has helped me so much. In fact, I am very grateful to you and have always wanted to repay you. Su Siman sniffed and sob and continued, "Unfortunately, I'm going to say goodbye to you. I hope you don't blame me and don't think I'm a wolf... If there is a chance to see you again in the future, you can do whatever you want me to do..."
"Miss Su, stop talking!" Huangfu Chong's face was entangled with distress, his eyebrows twisted, and his heart seemed to be in a fierce struggle. After a long time, he said, "I teach you, I teach you. Don't mention that you are leaving tomorrow. It's just that I have a request. Don't call me master.
Su Siman wiped two tears vigorously and stared at him dumbfoundedly, simply disbelieving his ears. He, he... he agreed?
"Did you agree?" Susman wants to confirm.
Huang Fu Chong seemed to have fallen a big stone in his heart and nodded with a relieved smile.
"Great! Are you finally willing to accept me as an apprentice?!" Su Siman jumped up from ** with excitement.
Huang Fu Chong looked at Su Siman, who was suddenly energetic, in surprise: "How do you..."
"It's all installed!" Su Siman smiled, but the tears still fell down in a string, and ran to the kitchen. "Oh, no, that chili water is too spicy. My eyes hurt and my face hurts. Master, wait a minute, I'll wash my face. Ouch... Mom, it's so hot..."
