Sword of Coming

The day was slightly bright, before the cock crowed, Chen Ping had already gotten up, the thin bedding really couldn't keep the heat, and Chen Ping also developed the habit of getting up early and going to bed late when he was in kiln apprentice. Chen Ping opened the door of the house and came to the small courtyard with soft soil. After taking a deep breath, he stretched out and walked out of the courtyard. Turning his head, he saw a slender silhouette, bent over, carrying a wooden bucket of water in both hands. Opening the door of her house with her shoulders is the servant girl of Song Jixin. She should have just returned from the iron well at Apricot Blossoms Alley.

Chen Ping regained his sight, walked through the streets, and ran all the way to the east of the town. Mud Bottle Alley was on the west side of the town, the easternmost gate. Someone was in charge of the town’s business and travel and night ban patrols. They also collected and passed some The next thing Chen Ping has to do for the family letters sent back from outside is to send those letters to the town’s 100 surnames. The reward is a letter and a coin. This is the way he finally asked for money. Chen Ping An appointment has been made with that side. After the dragon raised his head on February 2nd, he began to take over this stall.

In Song Jixin's words, he was born poor, even if he was lucky enough to enter the house, Chen Ping couldn't keep it. Song Jixin often said some obscure words, about it was taken from books, Chen Ping always didn't understand it. For example, two days ago, Chen Ping didn't understand what he said about killing a boy in the cold. Every year after the winter, it gets colder for some time after the spring. The teenagers know it firsthand. Song Jixin said that it is called the cold spring, which is as powerful as the sudden thrust on the battlefield, so many people will die in these gates of hell up.

The town is not surrounded by a city wall. After all, let alone gangsters, even thieves and thieves are rare, so in name it is a city gate, but in fact it is a row of old fences that are sloppy and sloppy. It's the face of this town.

When Chen Ping trot past Apricot Blossoms Alley, he saw young women and children gathered next to the iron well, and the water well was creaking.

After bypassing another street, Chen Ping heard a familiar sound of reading not far away. There is a rural school, which was jointly funded by a few large families in the small town. The teacher Mister is a foreigner, and Chen Ping is a young man. At times, I often ran to hide outside the window, squatted secretly, and pricked my ears.Although the Mister was extremely strict in teaching, he did not rebuke Chen Ping's children who were "learning and learning". Later, Chen Ping went to a dragon kiln outside the town as an apprentice and never went there again. School.

A little further ahead, Chen Ping passed a stone archway. Because the archway building has ten stone pillars, locals like to call it a crab archway. The true name of this archway is very different from Song Jixin and Liu Yangxian. Song Jixin solemnly vowed said in an old book called Local County Annals, calling it Great Scholar Archway, which is the archway bestowed by the emperor Lord, to commemorate the martial arts of a great official in history.Liu Yangxian, who is the same as Chen Ping in the country bumpkin, said that this is Crab Shop. We have been calling it for 2 years. There is no reason to call it the shitty Great Scholar Archway. Liu Yangxian also asked Song Jixin a question, “How big is the official hat of a bachelor's degree, is it bigger than the head of an iron well”, Song Jixin flushed.

At this time, Chen Ping ran a circle around the ten 2-foot archway. There were 4 large characters on each side. The font was strange, which seemed to have nothing common with each other. They were "Do your own thing", "Natural words", and "Don't go out." Seeking" and "Furious Bullfight".Song Jixin said that, except for a certain 4 characters, the other 3 plaques and stone carvings have all been smeared and tampered with. Chen Ping is ignorant of these things and has never thought deeply. Of course, even if a teenager wants to ask questions, it is futile. He doesn't even know what the local County Annals, which Song Jixin often talks about, is.

Not far after the archway, I soon saw a leafy Old Locust Tree. Under the tree, there was a trunk that was moved here by no one. After a little chop, the two ends of the tree were placed under the head and tail. With 2 bluestone slabs, this big tree was used as a simple bench.Every summer, the 2 surnames in the small town like to enjoy the cool here. The elders of wealthy families will fish out a basket of iced melons and fruits from the well. When the children eat and drink, they will form a party. Playing in the shade of the trees.

Chen Ping was used to going up and down the water, ran near the gate of the fence, and stopped at the door of the lonely yellow mud room, his heart was not beating, he was not breathing.

There are not many people from outside the town. It stands to reason that the money tree made by the official kiln has fallen, and there will be no new faces. When Old Man Yao was alive, he once had a high drunk. I told Chen Ping and Liu Xianyang's disciplines that what we are doing is the only official kiln business in the world. It is for His Majesty The Emperor and Queen Empress. Porcelain, no matter how rich the other old surnames are, no matter how old they are, they dare to touch them, they will all be beheaded.The Old Man Yao, Spirit, Soul and Qi were very different that day.

Today Chen Ping looked out of the fence, but found that many people were waiting to open the city gates. There were no fewer than 7 people, including men, women and children.

And they are all strangers. The local 100 surnames come in and out of the town. Whether they are going to burn porcelain or do crop work, they rarely go to the east gate. The reason is simple. The road to the east gate of the town extends out and there is no dragon kiln. And fields.

At this time, Chen Ping and the outsiders were separated by a wooden fence, facing each other 2.

At that moment, the teenager wearing self-made straw sandals was just a little envious of the thick clothes on those people, which must be warm enough to withstand the cold.

The people outside the door are obviously divided into several groups. They are not a group of people, but they all look at the thin teenagers inside the door. Most of them look indifferent. There are occasionally one or two people. Their eyes have already passed the silhouette of the teenager, looking farther into the town. .

Chen Ping is a bit strange, don't these people know that the Imperial Court has banned all dragon kiln?Or do they think they have a chance because they know the truth?

There is a youngster wearing a weird crown with a slender figure and a green jade pendant hanging from his waist. He seems impatient to wait. He walks out of the crowd alone, and wants to open the lockless gate, but When his finger was about to touch the wooden door, he suddenly stopped, and slowly retracted his hand. After holding his hands, he smiled and looked at the straw-shoe youngster inside the door without speaking, just smiling.

From the corner of Chen Ping's eyes, he accidentally discovered the people behind the youngster. It seemed that some were disappointed, some were playful, some were frowning, some were ridiculing, and the mood was subtle, have nothing common with each other.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with messy hair suddenly opened the door and said to Chen Ping foul-mouthed: "Little Bastard, is it in the eyes of the money drop? I have come so early to call my soul, you rush to reincarnate to see you Are you dead?!"

Chen Ping rolled the eyes, the young man didn’t care about these tart and mean words. As soon as he lived in this rural place with few books in total, he would get annoyed if he was scolded, and he would just jump into the well. Go down, worry and trouble. 2 The middle-aged bachelor who came to the gatekeeper was himself an object of teasing and teasing by the town's 100 surnames, especially those brave and aggressive women, not to mention scolding him, many people beat him.In addition, this person also likes to boasting with kids wearing crotch pants. For example, Lao Tzu had a good fight at the city gate back then. 5 or 6 big guys were injured badly with many teeth knocked out. There was blood all over the floor, in front of the city gate. The entire two zhang wide road is similar to a muddy road on a rainy day!

To Chen Ping irritably said, "Your little mess, I'll talk about it later."

No one in the town takes this guy seriously.

But whether outsiders can enter the town, men are in control of life and death.

As he walked towards the wooden fence door, he reached for his crotch.

The man with his back facing Chen Ping opened the door, and from time to time he would collect a small embroidered bag from someone, put it in his cuff, and let him go one after another.

Chen Ping gave way early. The 8 people were divided into 5 groups and walked towards the town. In addition to the youngster with a high crown and green waist, he also walked through two 2-year-old children. A festive red robe, the girl looks pink and tender, like good porcelain.

The boy was half a head shorter than Chen Ping. When the child passed him, he opened his mouth. Although not at all made a noise, he had a clear mouth shape. It should have been two words, full of provocation.

The middle-aged woman who was holding the boy coughed slightly, and then the child was slightly restrained.

The little girl behind the woman boy was led by a burly old man with a frosty head. She turned to Chen Ping and said a lot of things, not forgetting to point fingers to the peers boy in front of her.

Chen Ping couldn't understand what the girl was talking about, but she guessed that she was suing.

The burly old man glanced sideways at the straw-shoe youngster.

After being glanced at it intentionally or unintentionally, Chen Ping took a step back purely subconsciously.

Like a mouse see a cat.

After seeing this scene, chirp chirp twitter twitter originally looked like a little girl with a little yellow bird. She suddenly lost her interest in fanning the flames. She turned her head and stopped looking at Chen Ping. It seemed that one more glance would dirty her eyes.

The young Chen Ping has never seen the world, but it doesn't mean he can't understand his face.

When the pedestrian left, the man at the door smiled and asked, "Do you want to know what they said?"

Chen Ping nodded said: "Yes."

The middle-aged bachelor was happy, and laughed hehe and said, "It's all good things to praise you for looking good."

Chen Ping twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking you were stupid?

The man saw through the young man's mind and smiled happily, "If you are not stupid, I can let you send a letter?"

Chen Ping did not dare to refute, for fear that annoyed this guy, the copper money that was about to be obtained would fly away.

The man turned his head, looked at those people, stretched out his hand to rub Hu Lila's chin, and whispered tsk tsk: "That woman, two legs can pinch a person to death."

Chen Ping hesitated and asked curiously: "Which lady has practiced martial arts?"

The man was stunned, looked down at the boy, and said solemnly: "You brat, it's so stupid."

The teenager was at a loss.

He asked Chen Ping to wait and strode towards the house. When he came back, he had a pile of envelopes in his hand. They were not thick or thin, about a dozen copies. After handing Chen Ping to Chen Ping, the man asked, "Fools are stupid. Good people have good results. Are you believing or not?"

Chen Ping held the letter in one hand, opened his palm in the other, and blinked, "I have said that a letter is worth a penny."

The man fly into a rage out of humiliation, patted the 5 coins prepared in advance, fiercely on the palm of the young man's hand, waved his hand, and heroism reaching to the clouds said: "The 5 coins left, owe first!"
