My Taoist Career

Old man Jiang is undoubtedly a man of action. He just said that he was going to Chengdu for lunch. After lunch, he and I simply packed up some things and were ready to go.

"Master, now that we're gone, what will happen to the things in the small room?" I was a little worried.

"You don't have to worry about this, who else can find this place? If he finds it, he won't be able to get out of this bamboo forest! Besides, the folk customs here are simple and simple, so I don't worry about it. Taking ten thousand steps back, if someone really stole something, I will I have my own way to get it back." Old man Jiang wasn't worried at all.

Since he said there is a way, then there is a way, so I won't ask any more questions, and the two of them have nothing to clean up, so they brought a change of clothes and went out as bachelors.

I went to my house first, and when I got home, my dad was alone at home.

"Master Jiang, did you bring Sanbaer here? His mother went to Zhou's house to help take a look. You know that the widow has been away for three years this week, leaving an orphan. Although there are uncles and aunts to watch... No, I'll call her back, shall we have a good meal tonight?" My dad saw us entering the door, so he talked a lot.

Since Widow Zhou passed away three years ago, my mother often went to help out. After all, Tuesday’s family is old and young. My mother always thinks about their family in her heart.

"Xiuyun is a good person. Don't call her that. We have to leave right away. I'm here to tell you that the money may be delayed a few days before I give you the money. I'm going to take Sanwaer to Chengdu. When I come back Here." Old man Jiang waved his hand to stop my dad from being busy.

My dad was holding a water ladle in his hand at the time, and when he heard old man Jiang's words, the water ladle almost fell to the ground in shock, and quickly asked, "It's fine, what are you going to do in Chengdu?"

"I have something to do." Jiang old man simply replied, I didn't dare to speak beside me, Jiang old man had already greeted me on the way down the mountain, my father was not allowed to say anything when asked.

"Oh, oh..." Old man Jiang seemed unwilling to say the reason for going, and my dad didn't know what to ask, anyway, he was always relieved to hand me over to old man Jiang, he could only be stunned There, oh twice, he has never been to the provincial capital in his life, and he can't make any suggestions.

"Then let's go, remember to tell Xiuyun." After Jiang old man finished speaking, he led me away.

When I got off the long-distance bus, I was almost in a daze from throwing up all the way. Who would have thought that going to Chengdu would take more than a day's bus ride?

Speaking of which, we set off the day before yesterday, but we arrived at the county seat the night before, and we didn't get on the bus to Chengdu until yesterday morning, because there is no train to our place.

"Useless baby, bumpkin, it's like this when you take a car. It looks like someone who has never been in a car." When he got out of the car, the old man Jiang's voice was very loud, which attracted the attention of the people around him. What are you doing?Look at the bumpkins.

I supported the bus, and I really wanted to refute Old Man Jiang's saying that looking at your clothes, I don't know who is a country bumpkin, but the acid water in my stomach burst out, and I couldn't speak at all.

After grinding at the station for about ten minutes, I didn’t feel better until the old man Jiang got me a cup of hot water from somewhere, and when I got better, I complained: “You said to go to the There was something wrong, but I went there and said it was fine. Others said that they would drive us, but you don’t want it. Who doesn’t vomit after taking such a long car for the first time? You just punish me and tell me to eat more before getting in the car A little bit, or eat so much..."

"Go, go, go, don't be ashamed of yourself here." Seeing people looking over again, Old Jiang hurriedly dragged me away.

As soon as I got out of the station, I felt dizzy. It wasn't because I hadn't reacted well to the ride just now, but because I was 'frightened' by the bustle and bustle outside the station. The Chengdu accent was soft and gentle. We stood there for a while. The aunt who sells boiled bread came over.

"Why don't you buy some bread, sir, it's freshly cooked."

The sound made my whole body weak, and with such a big place, I became timid for no reason, and immediately hid behind Old Man Jiang. Old Man Jiang was smiling and coped with it freely. After inquiring about the way, he led me away.

"Master, where are we going next?" The buns are fresh and delicious, and I just vomited my stomach, so I was very happy to eat, but such a big city, there are cars running on the road, and there are things on both sides that I have never seen before. The high-rise buildings and the crowds of people made it difficult for me to get used to it. I held onto old man Jiang tightly for fear that I would get lost.

"Calling you a country bumpkin, you still don't admit it? Now that you're in Beijing, you can't stand crying at the train station? What's this place? Chunxi Road is the busiest side. If there's nothing wrong, I'd like to take you to see it There is a lot of food in Chengdu, no, I have to take you to eat after this matter is over." Old man Jiang talked a lot, but he didn't say where to take me.

But I am also a foodie. When I heard the food, both eyes lit up, and I quickly asked, "What are you eating? Is it delicious?"

"There are too many, Zhongshui Jiaoer, Lai Tangyuan, Dandan Noodles, Egg Baked Cake, Longchaoshou...there are so many of them, they are so delicious." Old man Jiang swallowed while talking, Swallow your saliva and take a big mouthful of corn.

I also tried my best to gnaw on the corn to satisfy my greed. After a long time, I asked: "Master, where are you going?"

"Luoma City." Old Man Jiang said simply.

Luomashi, a place name in Chengdu, I don’t know why Master brought me here, but after a few bus transfers, I was already dazzled by the “Hongda” in Chengdu.

I wrote a small guest house, Master and I washed up briefly, I was a little hungry, so I asked about my meal.

Old man Jiang said, "We're not busy eating, let's go to the teahouse first."

"Master, is this a high-class life in a big city? Drink tea first, then eat? Or drink tea and eat in a teahouse?" I was thinking about what Master told me to eat on the way, like a cat scratching my heart. Don't say I've eaten those things, I haven't even heard of them.

"You know how to eat. I'm taking you to do business. Originally, I wanted to go to the town, contact someone, ask him to help me contact a buyer in Hong Kong, and then meet in this provincial capital, but Hong Kong The things around here are circulating too fast, and I can’t be sure what he buys them for. If they fall into the hands of a knowledgeable foreigner, I don’t feel at ease. I think since I want to sell them, I should sell them to someone I like Chinese people." Jiang old man said so.

I said 'oh', and thought it's no wonder my master came to the town and said there was something wrong, and then said it was all right: "Why doesn't that one come in their car?" Don't mention the air in the bus, it made me vomit, I was brooding in my heart.

"I don't want to be so ostentatious. Remember your child, you will always go to the 'jianghu' by yourself in the future, don't make any publicity, you know?" Old man Jiang said very seriously.

He usually speaks with this expression, but I am not allowed to ask why, but when it is necessary to implement it, I nod my head to show that I have remembered it and don't make it public.

"Let's go to the teahouse." The old man Jiang changed into clean clothes and led me out. I didn't ask why I went to the teahouse, because I would naturally know when the time came.

There are many teahouses in Luoma City. When I go out, Master holds my hand and walks very familiarly, but there are many teahouses and tea stalls by the roadside, but he doesn't stop there.

"Master, aren't these all teahouses?" I was very curious.

"Hey, what do you know? This kind of jade, there are two kinds of people with the most poisonous eyes, one is the senior experts belonging to the country, and the other is the heirs of the jade family who specialize in non-governmental affairs. Only they can know this kind of spiritual jade. This Luoma City has exactly this kind of family heir, don't you know?"

He didn't answer my question directly, but I was used to it, so I simply shook my head to express that I didn't know, and listened to him.

"This Luoma Market looks like this on the surface, but what's going on behind the scenes? It's an underground trading market for gold, silver and jade wares. Some shady things are also circulated through here. There are also people sitting in these teahouses and tea stalls, but Their class is not high enough to know my things." Jiang old man said casually.

"What is the invisible thing?" I was curious.

"It's like something picked up from a grave."
