Chapter 35 Exchange Tokens

It is said that when Ren Suzhi saw that the fire in the courtyard had not been extinguished, he knocked harder and shouted, "Did you hear that?! Put out the fire!"

During this time, Huan Zhen had understood the stubbornness of the pavilion chief. If no one in the courtyard answered, the pavilion chief would definitely knock on the door.

Wang Weng and Wang Dalang were both awakened and came out to ask: "Hu Bao, what's going on? Why is it so noisy?"

Wang Ge quickly rushed out of the courtyard to respond: "Sir, I heard you!" and then asked Ah Yin to persuade her father. When her father returned to the house, she used the Gesha rolling lantern to illuminate the way, unlatched the latch, and opened the courtyard door a crack.

The first thing she saw clearly was the lantern with the words "Linshui Pavilion" written on it, and then there were five pavilion soldiers, all wearing official clothes, and she stood at the door with relief.

In the distance, Tie Lei looked down on Tie Feng: "Ahem, this thief is a bit weak!"

Tie Feng took two steps forward and changed the subject: "Huh? Isn't this Miss Wang?"

Regardless of the walking lantern carried by the pavilion that swayed in the wind or Wang Ge's rolling lantern, the brightness was very poor. Ren Suzhi had only met her once and had no impression of her. So at first sight, she was a half-sized girl with a hand in her hand.

When the lantern came out, he became even more angry: "What's the point of lighting a fire in the middle of the night? Especially on a windy day like this!"

Wang Ge was startled by his sudden loud voice. The rolling lantern fell down and rolled with the wind to the other side of the road. He was pushed up by a begging thief and was caught by his feet.

She quickly said, "Sir, I will put out the kitchen fire right now."

Besides, as for Wang Yun, there is no way he can persuade his eldest father or father.

Wang Weng rushed towards the courtyard gate, and Wang Yun ran ahead with her short legs. When she ran to Wang Ge, she didn't hear anything else or pay attention. She only saw the rolling lantern rolling so far away! What if it was trampled?

At that moment, Wang Yun stopped for a moment, ran to the front of the thief, bent down and pushed the rolling lamp back.

Ren Suzhi looked at Wang Weng and warned him sternly: "O Weng, take the children back quickly. Remember, in the future, you must turn off the stove as soon as possible when the wind blows."

Wang Yun just pushed the rolling lamp between the two of them, crossed the threshold, and pushed it all the way back into the courtyard.

Wang Weng made way for his grandson. The old man had experienced wars and was particularly awe-inspiring for officials. He said straightly: "Yes, yes, my lord, I am here to catch up on some farm work tonight. I will definitely not do it again in the future. I will definitely not do it again."

I'm going to put out the stove fire right now."

Ren Suzhi didn't want to see the old man being frightened, so he waved his hand. Just as the pavilion soldiers were about to leave, the courtyard door was about to close, and Wang Ge breathed a sigh of relief, Huan Zhen, who had always been silent, spoke up: "Is this little boy Wang Adi?"

Wang Yun, who was guarding the rolling lantern, looked at her neck and blinked.

The courtyard door was opened again.

"I thought I made a mistake. Brother Wang, the mountains are high and the rivers are long. We meet again."

Now Wang Yun never leaves the rolling lantern, nor does the rolling lantern leave the person. She crawls out. "Ah! Is this the brother next to you?"

Wang Ge stared at Huan Zhen, and Huan Zhen stared at the rolling lantern. She instantly understood that he saw that the rolling lantern was clever!

Huan Zhen reported his surname, and on the pretext that he still had to patrol, he talked to Wang Yun for a long time, with a hint of "I'm miserable but I just won't say it" on his face. He untied the hemp rope from one side of his bun and borrowed the

He scratched the itch twice and left the hemp rope to Wang Yun as a personal token.

The way Huan Zhen's hair was scattered and tangled moved Wang Yun greatly. He felt that he should give a token in return, but he couldn't return Huan's headband. And the rolling lantern... still had to be sold to a salesman, even if it wasn't sold.

I gave it to the salesman. He was very rare and reluctant to give it away.

After all, he is a child, and his thoughts are written on his face. Wang Ge knelt down and taught him in a low voice: "Ah Yin, you should be sincere when making friends. Whoever weighs the gains and losses first will not be worthy of this friendship."

.”

Wang Yun was ashamed, nodded vigorously, and held up the rolling lantern generously. "Brother Huan, this lantern is so fun. You can roll it gently or kick it, and it won't go out. We made it ourselves and gave it to Huan."

Brother."

"Okay, I'll take it." Huan Zhen gestured politely and took it immediately.

Wang Yun had figured it out and no longer felt bad. He called Huan Zhen and whispered, "Brother Huan, please take good care of yourself. If someone bullies you or you don't have enough to eat, come to my house to eat."

Huan Zhen looked at the child carefully. Although his appearance was ordinary and far less handsome than his sister, Wang Adi's eyes were extremely clear and sincere, and reflected the brilliance of the lantern. Huan Zhen couldn't help but touch the child's little head.

head before leaving.

After going up to the courtyard gate, Wang Weng went to put out the stove fire. Wang Yun folded the smelly hemp rope that was still holding Huan Zhen's broken hair a few times and stuffed it into her sister's bag. "Sister, help me put it away.

Sister, what mistake do you think Brother Huan made? Why did it become like this? I almost didn't recognize him just now."

"Hmm... I can't guess it either. So if you see Brother Huan again in the future, don't ask him, so as not to make him sad."

"Oh, I see."

Wang Ge pursed his lips and smiled. That Huan Xiaolang was also childish. Is it worth it just for the sake of rolling the lamp? He almost became sworn sworn brother with Hutou. He was really different from the one he met before.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Wang Ge got up. She thought about it for a long time and felt that it would be better to be more cautious. In the previous history, rolling lanterns appeared in the Song Dynasty, but now the Jin Dynasty has deviated from the historical track, and there are more prosperous towns.

It's not necessarily possible that there is no such thing. Moreover, even if it doesn't exist, as long as there is a reference rolling lamp, it can be copied very quickly.

So, after she re-sewed a rolling lamp with a kudzu cover, she stopped making more and changed it to a bamboo hairpin.

There were not many bamboo stalks, bamboo strips, and bamboo strips left. She was afraid that Yao would continue to cause trouble, so she moved them all into her house.

In her previous life, Wang Nanxing came from a family of woodcarvers. For her, carving the simplest bamboo hairpin was no more than sharpening a pencil, so it took a little more time, even if she didn't have a special carving knife.

She sat on the ground, using the tool bench as a desk. She first picked out a piece of green bamboo strips, scraped off the green skin, cut it into a flat hairpin rod, about eight inches in length, leaving two inches for the tail, then trimmed and polished the rest, and scraped the head.

tip.

Then use scrap cloth strips to wrap the knife evenly in circles, so as not to hurt the hand when holding the knife body tightly, and use its sharp edge to replace the cutting edge of the carving knife.

Then, get started!

Carved hairpin tail.

If her bamboo craftsmanship skills have been delayed by the several years that have passed through time, and need to be awakened step by step through bamboo tools and bamboo splitting, and she needs to transition from simple weaving to complex weaving, in order to re-stimulate this part of her talent and regain her skills. Then

Sculpting skills are talents that reincarnate with her soul and grow with her body. There is no need to awaken, transition, or stimulate!

This talent is Wang's gene. It was never born, so how can we forget it?

For the tail of the hairpin, she carved the left side of the horizontal character "Bamboo". Looking directly at the cross-section, the shape of the glyph imitates the thin gold body of later generations. It is thin, strong and graceful, and the word resembles a bamboo leaf, echoing the material of the hairpin.

The tip of the hairpin draws thin and curved lines, just like the tip of a brush.

Blow away the bamboo chips and it's done.

Wang Yun didn't know when he stood in front of his sister. He didn't dare to express his anger. He waited until the hairpin was carved before he dared to speak and asked softly: "Sister, can I learn how to carve the hairpin from you?"

"No, it will hurt your hands." She stretched out her hands and said, "Everyone's hands have a mission. My sister's hands are used for weaving and carving, and my brother's hands are for...

Those who come to study and write. Although the mission is different, it is equally hard work."

"Oh. Humph!" The child was obviously not convinced and walked away with a pout.

Soon there were sounds of scolding and shouting in the courtyard, and Ah Ying ran back again, with her hair disheveled like a little lunatic.

"Sister, I'm telling you," he whispered, "my eldest mother is scolding my third aunt."

"Why?"

"Third aunt didn't tell her when she got up late, and even knocked over the porridge she had cooked. My eldest mother scolded her, and she said her arm hurt, and rolled up her sleeves to show her. She was really bruised and purple, so scary! Third uncle

She quickly explained that he was not the one who beat her, and then the third aunt hesitated and said that someone must have pinched her secretly while she was unconscious. The eldest mother said that the third aunt was evil-minded and wanted to stir up trouble, and she must have done something wrong.

I did too much and got pinched by a kid at night."

When Wang Ge saw his brother talking so loudly and explaining the whole thing so clearly, he turned his body around and started combing his hair.

After combing their hair, their father happened to get up too.

"I'll bring my father some water to wash his face." Wang Yun happily ran out.

At this time, a mule pallet truck drove out from the countryside. The seller was chewing cakes and driving the cart with one hand, and was heading towards Jiashe Village. After only a few miles, he saw two horsemen galloping towards him. One of them was a big man.

Shout: "Give way! Give way!"

The salesman quickly pulled the mule cart aside to clear the way.

The dust rolled up with the horse's hooves, and the salesman squinted his eyes, wondering: "You are in such a hurry so early? What happened?"
