Otherworldly Farmhouse

Tang Anwen drove the carriage to the town and found the new house that Luo Ling had just moved to. Luo Ling was counting his herbs. Since he was planning to go to the border, he prepared more than just cicadas. Cicadas were just one of them. It's just one kind, Luo Ling has a big heart, he is going to bring a convoy of medicinal materials to sell.

Tang Anwen walked into Luo Ling's medicinal herb warehouse. The warehouse was full of various medicinal materials, exuding bitter medicines. The so-called medicinal fragrances were just nonsense. When various medicines were mixed together, the taste was really enough for ordinary people to enjoy.

Tang Anwen turned to Luo Ling and said, "Luo Ling, Luo Ling, is there anyone else in the town who is buying cicadas recently? The number of my purchases has decreased in the past two days."

Hearing Tang Anwen's voice, Luo Ling turned around and said, "I just found out about this yesterday afternoon. I didn't have time to tell you about it. Leave them alone. You can take as much as you can. What I'm going to tell you next is very important. , you can’t tell anyone except Mu Feng, you know.”

Tang Anwen nodded when he heard Luo Ling's seriousness, and said, "No problem, what plan do you have, tell me first, lest I worry about it."

Hearing Tang Anwen's assurance, Luo Ling looked outside the door, and then went to close the door specially, then dragged Tang Anwen to the depths of the warehouse, and then whispered to Tang Anwen: "I'm going to leave the border at the end of July, wait for me to leave Sometimes you buy five more days, and those will be kept for my own use. I plan to take all the other cicadas to the border for sale. Let me tell you that the merchants who sell cicadas in the south will leave in September. They should have done it earlier, I think we can force down the price of the golden cicada flower today, as for the Song family in the town who also bought the golden cicada flower, let’s leave it alone and let those villagers earn more."

Tang Anwen nodded after listening to Luo Ling's words. He didn't expect that this kid knew to inquire about the news before starting a business. However, with a caravan like Luo Ling, Tang Anwen was really worried. Don't worry if the business is not completed or the money is not earned. You must know that Mufeng said that the frontier side is different from this side. There are so many sand robbers and robbers. It is best to have a local leader. Tang Anwen thought that he had to talk to Wood wind to discuss.

Luo Ling felt that Tang Anwen was looking at him, and there was some worry in his eyes, so he asked, "Ah Wen, is there any question?"

Tang Anwen shook his head and said, "I don't have any problems, but Luo Ling, how old are you? Why don't you marry a wife and go home? At least you have someone who can take care of you. I'm too young. Hurry up and tell your brother what kind of thing you like."

Luo Ling suddenly felt a little strange when he heard Tang Anwen's words, but he didn't think too much about it: "I liked one before, but who made me look not majestic enough, and people looked down on me, so it didn't work out in the end. I don’t have any thoughts. If you want to say what kind of person you like, to be honest, Ah Wen, I used to like soft and weak brothers, but since I was dumped once, I realized that he looks weak, and his heart is not necessarily weak. Now we The one you like and the type you like must be tall, honest and honest, preferably handsome, but must be more good than me, absolutely loyal to me."

When Tang Anwen heard Luo Ling's words, this kid probably looked at Mu Feng's type, and it was probably because Mu Feng was kind to him and stimulated Luo Ling, which made Luo Ling change his taste.

Seeing that Tang Anwen still looked thoughtful, Luo Ling said: "Ah, don't worry about it, Awen, if I really lose money, at least I will give you a guarantee of 100 taels of silver, and I won't let you Lost money."

Tang Anwen knew that Luo Ling was on the wrong side, and thought he was worried about losing money, so he said: "I'm not worried about that, the purchase of the golden cicada flower is all your money, so I added some manpower and time, if I really lose money, I can save you money." I don't want your money. I'm worried about your lifelong event, we are good friends, and naturally I hope you can live a good life. Then keep busy, I have nothing else to do, so I'll go back first. "

After seeing Tang Anwen leave, Luo Ling said, "Then I won't send you off, the medicinal materials haven't been checked yet."

Tang Anwen, who walked to the door, heard Luo Ling's belated words and said: "Fuck you, the threshold here is almost smashed by me, do you still need it?"

After leaving Luo Ling's house, Tang Anwen came to the bookstore. He originally wanted to ask about Luo Ling's painting books, but seeing that Luo Ling was busy with so many things, he didn't want to bother Luo Ling anymore, so he just came out to inquire about the news.Tang Anwen found the shopkeeper of the bookstore, and asked the shopkeeper about it.

The shopkeeper didn't hide anything from Tang Anwen, he didn't say anything to Tang Anwen, he just took out a blue book and handed it to Tang Anwen, asking Tang Anwen to read it and talk.

Tang Anwen opened the blue book in his hand, and saw that the content inside was exactly the same as the painting book he had customized, almost exactly the same. Tang Anwen was stunned for a moment, and felt a little bit confused.If someone else took the picture book he rubbed with ink to imitate, there must be something different in it.

However, apart from the different cover, the contents of the painting book are basically the same, so Tang Anwen is very sure that this is what the father and son did. Those who have passed will engrave it.

However, there must be other reasons for not being able to sell recently. After all, his picture books are still more neat and refined than those made by the father and son. Even the cover is much better-looking, because he and Mu Feng personally wrote on it. book title.

Tang Anwen asked the shopkeeper why he couldn't sell a copy of it recently, and the shopkeeper told Tang Anwen that the price of the same picture book as his was only 520 renminbi, and the delivery price was only [-] renminbi, not only the seller was much cheaper than Tang Anwen's picture book , and even their profits are higher, so it is normal that Tang Anwen's book cannot be sold.

Tang Anwen negotiated with the shopkeeper, and told the shopkeeper that this painting was drawn by him, and hoped that the shopkeeper would not sell that pirated painting, at least not in this town, and if they wanted to sell it, they could sell it in other towns. He does not stop.

But the shopkeeper didn't agree with Tang Anwen. He told Tang Anwen that the other party not only sold them in this town, but also sold these picture books in other towns. If he sold Tang Anwen's more expensive picture books, they wouldn't be able to sell them. Even less profitable.Tang Anwen finally told the shopkeeper that if you insist on doing this, then my new painting books will not be sold at your house in the future. The shopkeeper did not reply to Tang Anwen in the end, but asked Tang Anwen to take away the painting books left in their shop .

Tang Anwen didn't expect that the shopkeeper's vision would be so short-sighted. He didn't know that the pirated one couldn't draw another picture book, and he, the original author, must be able to draw more stories of the picture book. It seems that he still Pay more attention to publicity, and the picture books he publishes must have unique marks, just like the trademarks of modern people, not everyone can imitate them.

Tang Anwen, who came out of the bookstore very heartbroken, went to the butcher shop to buy some small ribs and lean meat, and bought a carp. Mu Feng has recently been fond of eating sour food, so most of the dishes at home have a sour taste. Poor Tang Xuan who likes to eat sweet but not sour, but because of the delicious food made by Mu Feng, his teeth are almost sore, yet he still has the perseverance to continue eating.

Driving back in the carriage, Xiao Hei is very human now, Tang Anwen tells him to stop and he stops, and if he lets go, Xiao Hei will walk towards Tang Anwen's home in Huangcun Village by himself. People say that old horses know the way, and their horse is not old. , but also know where home is.

When I got home, the sun was already high in the sky, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The water flow on the creek was almost cut off, but the overflowing water under the hill was still there.Tang Anwen thought that the water overflowing from the hill here might be connected to the stream on the other side of the mountain, or there might be groundwater on the side of the hill.

Tang Anwen thought that while he was free, he was not too busy, the money at home was still enough to spend some time, and the weather was not too hot, he simply asked Tang Xuan and Lin Zuo to dig a small hill near the bamboo forest and a little distance from the mountain road. A well is not necessarily a well, as long as it can draw water into a puddle, there is no problem, not to mention that this place is much closer than the streamside.

If a small ditch is opened, water may be brought to the vicinity of the house. He once heard Mu Feng say that he wanted to open a few fields on the side of the hill to plant rice. If a pond could be dug, the water from that field would be enough Straight away.I just don’t know if the water in the hills will run dry. After all, it’s not the hottest time yet, and there are still several months before the end of summer.But Tang Anwen thought it was better to take one step at a time, and he also thought in his heart that no wonder people in the Tang family village didn't want to live here. If there was a shortage of water in summer, it would be really troublesome to rack their brains to get water.

Mu Feng was counting and picking cicada flowers. Seeing Tang Anwen coming in, he asked Tang Anwen to wash his hands and go to the kitchen to drink mung bean soup to relieve the heat. Tang Anwen looked at the quiet yard and asked, "Where are Mufeng fruits and beans? The weather is so hot, Where did they go? And how many times have I told you not to do these things, just buy, the sun is so strong now, what if you get sunstroke, have you ever thought about Three Treasures?"

Mufeng picked the cicadas with better appearance and quality to the other side of the grain basket, which was originally used for sun-drying millet.Although cicadas originally grew in the soil, they could not be directly exposed to the ground, so when they first bought cicadas, Mu Feng bought two pieces of grain scorpions, and one of them was selected to dry in the sun. Good match, the other one is slightly defective.

After all, it won't be useless if you buy it. Even if you don't collect the golden cicada flowers, Gu Da can be used to dry millet and wheat in the future, and it is a must-have item for farming.

After hearing what Tang Anwen was about to explode, Mu Feng quickly comforted him: "I just want to pick up the rest! The sun wasn't so strong just now, so I was going to stop. Ah Wen, don't worry , This time I am pregnant with the Three Treasures, I am already very careful, nothing will happen to me, if I can't bear it, I will stop right away."

After hearing Mu Feng's words, Tang Anwen immediately got angry and said: "You always say that every time, why are you just perfunctory me? Let me tell you, Mu Feng, if you don't listen to me, I will be really angry. There is not much work at home now. , I’ll do it, you just need to cook something delicious.”

Mu Feng heard that Tang Anwen was really anxious with him, so he hurried to Tang Anwen's side, kissed Tang Anwen's red face from the sun, and then said: "Understood, from now on I will listen to you and won't mess around Oh, and I won’t stay under the sun, by the way, you asked Luo Ling about Awen’s golden cicada flower, and about the picture book, how come it’s been more than ten days and you still haven’t sold a copy.”

Hearing Mu Feng's assurance, Tang Anwen said: "You also go to drink a bowl of mung bean soup to cool off the heat. I have already asked Luo Ling about the golden cicada flower, and he said that the Song family also checked it in. As for the painting book, how about it?" The two engravers not only carved the engravings for us, they actually kept a set for themselves, and now their rubbings are much cheaper than ours, so naturally we can’t move them.”

The two walked into the kitchen, and Mu Feng said anxiously after hearing this: "How could this happen? They are so dishonest. I never thought that they would be able to do such a thing. If I practiced Ah Wen for two months, I would be able to carve it out." Rigidity will definitely not be worse than them, when the time comes, you come to paint, and I will help you sculpt, and I will never give them such an opportunity again."

Mu Feng was very angry, one was worried that Ah Wen would be angry, and he also felt sorry for Ah Wen of their family.At the beginning, Ah Wen was designing the picture book and designing those characters. How much thought did he spend, but he was robbed by the father and son just like this? Mu Feng was still unwilling, and he would not easily let go Father and son, absolutely want them to pay the price.

Tang Anwen said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I will find a way, you just need to take good care of the three treasures, and we sold [-] picture books last month, after deducting the cost, we made about thirteen or forty taels , plus the family’s umami soy sauce income, our family is relatively well-off. I don’t rush to make money, not to mention that I want to sell your carved eagle recently. Luo Ling said it was very good, and Lin Zuo also said that you carved it The eagle is vivid, I am drawing some shapes, if you have time, you can carve one according to your ability, just remember that your only task now is to take good care of the three treasures, and I will take care of the raising of the family, there are many ways to make money yes."

Seeing that Tang Anwen's mood was still stable, Mu Feng felt a little relieved, took the mung bean soup that Awen handed him and drank it.

Tang Anwen drank the rotten mung bean soup in one gulp, and the feeling of icy cold immediately shocked people. Tang Anwen let Mufeng enter the house to rest. If he had time, he could also make some small clothes and shoes for Sanbao. Don't come out to bask in the sun.Mu Feng naturally nodded and agreed, he just provoked Ah Wen, he didn't want Tang Anwen to be really anxious with him, Mu Feng went into the house and brought a sewing basket, sat under the eaves and took the needle and thread to put the soles of the shoes, these shoes were made for Ah Wen.

After taking a break, Tang Anwen began to pick out the cicadas that Mufeng hadn't finished picking. After the sun went down, he put them into bags and sent them to Luo Ling's home early tomorrow morning.

Tang Anwen chatted with Mu Feng one after another while picking, saying that he was going to ask Tang Xuan and the others to dig a pond, and that he was going to open a few acres of paddy fields in autumn.Suddenly Tang Anwen mentioned Luo Ling, and told Mu Feng that Luo Ling liked tall, handsome and handsome brothers.

Tang Anwen saw that there was no one at the door, so he lowered his voice and told Mu Feng that Luo Ling was planning to go to the border at the end of July.He felt that the road was not safe, and asked Mu Feng what he said last time, that all brothers in their tribe are really good at fighting. If he could introduce one to Luo Ling, then Luo Ling would be much safer on the road. interests linked.

After Luo Ling promised them to sell the golden cicada flower, they would get [-]-[-]% of it, and Luo Ling would also pay the capital, so they just bought it.As long as Luo Ling can safely sell the golden cicada flower, then they will be able to get a lot of money.

Mu Feng listened to Tang Anwen's words, thought for a while, and then told Tang Anwen that he would write a letter now. He didn't know if the brother in the tribe could take a fancy to Luo Ling, but even if it really didn't work out, he could ask the neighbor next door. Brother, come to meet Luo Ling.

And Mu Feng also thought of another thing. Under the nourishment of Jade Ganoderma lucidum, his father's legs healed quickly, and the leg bones had grown back. Although the doctor still hoped that his father would not go to the ground, he saw his father secretly Walking on the ground should be no problem.If Luo Ling really wanted to go to the frontier, it would be better to take his father with him. His father was familiar with the road and knew more about the local customs along the way.

If the little brother from the Muha tribe came to meet him, then there was no need to worry about it along the way.Although Mufeng also wanted to go to the Muha family to visit Amu’s grave, but thinking of the child in his stomach, it would take at least a month to go there, and it was a bit of a hassle, not to mention the weather was hot. Mufeng was going to give birth to the three treasures, who were older , When I was one or two years old, I went to visit Amu's grave. I would be very happy to have a father who went back to believe that Amu Quan knew.

Mu Feng went into the house to write a letter. The letter was written and delivered tomorrow. It took about half a month or more than 20 letters to arrive. When people from the clan came over, they should be able to catch up in time.

After Tang Anwen finished the cicadas, he called Mufeng in the yard, telling Mufeng that if someone sells cicadas, let him continue to buy them, and don't expose them to the hot sun.He wants to go to Tang Xuan's house first to discuss the matter of digging the pond. Seeing that there will be no water in the stream, he can only go to Tangjia Village or Xiaoshanbao to pick it up, so the road will be far away. .

Mu Feng responded, and continued to think about how to write better. He had been away from the tribe for many years, but the little brother next door should still remember him. Even if the little brother didn't remember him, the little uncle who loved to play tricks on him must remember him If there is really no one in the tribe who can take a fancy to Luo Ling, those little friends of his childhood should give him face and come over to help. The three treasures came at a bad time, otherwise he can go and see with his father Ah Mu, but Mu Feng was very relieved that Sambo could return to this home, even though it prevented him from going back to visit Ah Mu's grave immediately.

Tang Anwen came to Tang Xuan's house, Lin Zuo was making strange things, Tang Anwen looked at the black lumps in the bowl, no matter how it looked, it looked like grass paste from his previous life, this thing was a bit like jelly, add some ice cubes, sugar water and mint in summer , it tastes particularly refreshing and refreshing. He often drank it when he was a child in his previous life, but he hasn't drank it for many years when he grew up. He never thought that he could taste it in this life.

After drinking a bowl of black smashed grass paste, Tang Anwen discussed the matter of digging the pond with Tang Xuan and Lin Zuo. Tang Xuan was not responsible for this. He took the two little guys to find bamboo worms. Lin Zuo said Eating this in summer will make you angry, but the adults and children who can't resist the temptation of delicious food don't listen to Lin Zuo's words at all, and insist on going out to look for it. Fortunately, the sunlight in the bamboo forest is blocked, and Lin Zuo and Tang Anwen are not afraid of heatstroke. .

Lin Zuo nodded after listening to Tang Anwen's words. Their house has water on the side in spring, autumn and winter, so they don't need to go far to fetch it, but in summer, the pond behind the house will also dry up. If it is as Tang Anwen said, they will It was no problem to dig a small pond. The two left the house and soon came to the place Tang Anwen mentioned.

It is near the edge of the bamboo grove, and the water around the hill seems to overflow from this place. Even now when the sun is shining, there are drops coming out.

Tang Anwen looked at Lin Xuan and said, let's dig a pond here first, about two meters wide and three meters long, so that more water can overflow.The depth is about 1.2 meters. We are adding about [-] centimeters of sand, laying pebbles on it, and raising a few fish, so that the water can be cleaner.The water will not be one meter deep at that time, even if Douzi and Guoguo come to play, there will be no problem.

Lin Xuan nodded when he heard Tang Anwen's words. It seems that Tang Anwen had considered all the problems and asked him to help dig.However, seeing the scorching sun, Lin Zuo really wanted to dig alone, but it was really not something ordinary people could handle.

Lin Zuo went back to get a tea shovel to cool off the heat, and Tang Anwen also went to get a hoe. He didn't have that much equipment at home, but he had to ask Mu Feng to prepare lunch, and put more meat in the lunch, otherwise there would be no meat for manual work, and he would be hungry Especially fast, physical strength will not keep up with the consumption.

Seeing that Tang Anwen would do what he said, Mu Feng was a little worried about Tang Anwen's work, so he would come and see what he said.Tang Anwen didn't stop him either, and after Mu Feng checked, he went to take the two children back, and followed Tang Xuan, an out-of-the-ordinary guy, and it would be troublesome if he suffered from heatstroke.

Tang Anwen dug a shallow rectangle with a hoe, and Lin Zuo started digging with a shovel. With Tang Anwen's strength, Lin Zuo didn't expect Tang Anwen to be able to dig for a long time. As long as there is someone talking by the side, it's even under the sun. Work can also be more enthusiastic.

After digging a hole one meter deep, Lin Zuo asked Tang Anwen to bring the hoe and pull out the soil on the side. He started digging while standing in the hole, and the speed was many times faster.

After Tang Anwen scraped the soil, he stood beside Lin Zuo and began to dig with a shovel. Since there was space on one side of the soil, the soil could be easily shoveled away after digging down with the shovel. In addition, Tang Anwen sometimes imitated Lin Zuo to use his feet. Borrowing strength, the speed is not too slow. Lin Zuo nodded when he saw it. He didn't expect that the kid who couldn't lift his hands and shoulders a while ago had also developed a lot of strength, and his body was not as strong as it was two months ago. So thin.

After lunch, Tang Anwen asked Mu Feng to take the two children to take a nap. After digesting his food, Tang Anwen drank a large bowl of water.So Lin Zuo and Lin Zuo went to the foot of the mountain again. At this time, a shallow puddle had formed, and Tang Xuan also joined in. After getting all the water out with a wooden basin, the three of them dug with their feet on the remaining mud.

Two hours later, a small pond of six square meters was dug out. Lin Zuo stayed behind to deal with the edges and corners. Tang Xuan and Tang Anwen went home to get baskets and dustpans to fill them with sand and pebbles.The two came to a place with a lot of sand in the stream, regardless of whether there were cobblestones in it, they directly pulled them into the dustpan with hoes, and after pouring the sand and cobblestones into the basket, they picked out the cobblestones, and soon the two People made most of the box of sand.

One by one, they returned to the foot of the mountain. Lin Zuo had already left. Tang Anwen thought that he should wash his hands and feet. After all, wearing sticky shoes was really uncomfortable.

When Lin Zuo came back after changing his clothes and shoes, he saw that the two were about to pour sand into the small pond. He told them to change their clothes and shoes quickly, and let him do the rest. After drinking water, they changed their clothes After resting for a while, Lin Zuo felt that most of his physical strength had recovered, so he also let the two people with flushed faces rest for a while.

After Lin Xuan spread the sand, he went to Tang Anwen's house to get another basket. This time, Mu Feng and Tang Anwen went to dig the sand together. After more than two hours, the sun had already set in the west and it was not so hot.

With the busy work of four people, the small pond was quickly covered with a layer of sand and pebbles.Although the water inside is still turbid, as long as they lift the water in the small pond twice, I believe the water will become clear. As long as they raise a few fish and small crabs, the water can be used for drinking.

After the small pond was established, Tang Anwen came here to carry water every day. He was different from Mufeng, he didn't have the strength of Mufeng. Being laughed at by Tang Xuan for being weak.

Tang Anwen also had something to say to Tang Xuan, saying that a person who does not fetch water is ashamed to say that he is a person who fetches half a bucket of water. Anyway, the sum of his two and a half buckets is definitely more than one bucket.

So Tang Xuan shut up, because Tang Anwen threatened him with his eyes, talking, and cooking by himself.This is Tang Xuan's Achilles' heel, who made him and Lin Zuo have no talent for cooking, the food they cook is not delicious, and Mu Feng's cooking is something that the two of them will never get tired of eating for a lifetime, and they will follow suit from now on Wooden wind is fooling around.

On the second day after the small pond was built, the water became clear. Tang Anwen and Tang Xuan took the two little guys under the escort of Lin Zuo. They went to the creek on the other side of the small mountain bag and caught five or six of each. small fish, and a few small shrimps and small crabs were raised in the pond. They started using the water on the third day, because the fish kept in it were fine and there was no problem. If the fish died, then Water is not fit for drinking.

The next day, Tang Anwen first delivered the umami soy sauce Chen Guanshi asked for. The shopkeeper Chen took about fifteen small jars of soy sauce from their house every month, which was an income of one, two, five.Tang Anwen walked into the courtyard of Luo Ling's house with a basket on his back. Luo Ling wasn't staying in the warehouse today. He was pouring a pot of tea and sitting in the courtyard drinking it. Don't live a happy life.

As soon as Luo Ling saw Tang Anwen coming in, he called Tang Anwen over, and asked his old servant who had been with him for many years to dry the golden cicada flowers in the side yard. Then he pulled Tang Anwen over and said, "I have good news for you, do you still remember Zhang Yan?" ?The news came from the prison that he was dying. The injury from the plank hit him at the beginning has never healed. You also know that Mufeng's father can't afford him medical expenses at all. His adulterer is even more difficult to protect himself. Zhang The members of Yanmu's family hate Zhang Yan even more, so he hasn't treated his injury at all, and now he can't stand it when the weather is hot."

Tang Anwen heard Luo Ling say that this matter is a good thing for Mufeng and Zhang Fuping. After all, if Zhang Yan is really in prison for ten years, how will Mufeng's two younger brothers deal with themselves after he comes out? So it's better not to come out. After all, Zhang Yan's two eldest sons were allotted. It was said that they were allotted to the frontier in July, and they were about to be taken away in chains, which relieved Mufeng's heart.

Tang Anwen suddenly thought about the two sculptors, so he said to Luo Ling: "The two sculptors you recommended are now holding another block, and they are also rubbing picture books, and the current price is much lower than what I sell. , is really too much."

Hearing Tang Anwen's words, Luo Ling jumped angrily and said, "Impossible. The old sculptor is said to have a good reputation and would not do such a thing. Come with me. I'm going to seek an explanation from them. It can't be like this Do it, the price that was clearly fixed at the beginning, I agreed that I would not spread these stereotypes," the old sculptor also assured him, after all, he was the one who recommended it to Tang Anwen, and the old sculptor was really grateful to him at the beginning, see Zou is also an honest and honest person, Luo Ling does not believe that he can really see things wrong.

The two soon came to Songjia Village outside the town. Luo Ling pushed open the door of the sculptor's house and called the old sculptor's name loudly.He pointed to his nose and asked the old sculptor if he still remembered him, and the old sculptor said that he could forget you, you are my grandson's savior.

Luo Ling pointed to Tang Anwen, and asked the old sculptor if he still remembered this one. The old sculptor was really confused by Luo Ling.He was introduced by Luo Ling to another job, and he really put up 12 yuan to carve. Fortunately, the carving was good, and the owner was satisfied. He also repaid some kindness of Dr. Luo for saving his grandson, and he also made money. Some silver is simply killing three birds with one stone.

But now Dr. Luo is angry, and the originally satisfied owner also chases after him, with a look of pleading guilty, which makes the old sculptor feel uncertain. Is there any misunderstanding in the middle, or something really happened? thing.

Tang Anwen looked at the puzzled look on the old master sculptor's face, and felt a little shaken in his heart. The old man didn't look like someone who would do such a thing, so he said, "Master, this is how I carved it with you last time." Drawing board, did you engrave an extra copy? Not only are there picture books in the town that are exactly the same as mine, but the price is also lower than mine, so that no one will want the picture book in my hand. If it is really made by you, I will I hope you will stop printing picture books from now on."

The old sculptor's eyes widened, and he said with an unbelievable look: "It's impossible, I only carved a drawing board for each picture, how could there be other picture books in the town, it's really exactly the same Do you have a painting book? I can tell at a glance whether this painting book was carved by my family. If it is really my family's dereliction of duty, I will pay for it. "

Tang Anwen shook his head and said, "I didn't sell that kind of picture books. All the picture books in my home were returned by the shopkeeper of the bookstore."

The old sculptor nodded when he heard Tang Anwen's words, and said, "I'll go to the town to have a look. If it's really the rubbings of the picture books carved by my family, I will naturally be responsible for this matter. How can I have a good reputation all my life?" It’s just ruined like that.” The old engraving master has already thought of a possibility, except for this possibility, even if someone really wants to imitate the engraving of the painting books sold outside, it is extremely difficult to engrave and imagine in the current painting books, after all rubbings What came out was not as clear as the hand-painted one.

So the three of them immediately walked towards the town. Tang Anwen watched the old man's back slightly bent after hearing this, and knew that the old man must not know about it, and it was probably done by someone close to the old man. Seeing the old man's distraught look, Tang Anwen couldn't bear it, it was really unfilial to his children and grandchildren.
