In the early morning of the next day, Cai Xiaowen slightly opened his sleepy eyes, stretched out his hand in a daze, and found that the quilt beside him was empty.Fortunately, she remembered in time that Su Ying said the night before that she was going to visit merchants early in the morning, so she calmed down before panicking.Hearing the sound of the rain knocking on the window pavilion again, according to what Su Ying said before going to bed, sleep a little longer, and go to practice fan in the early morning drizzle without having trouble with herself.When she opened her eyes again, it was already bright and the rain had stopped.

"Ah... It's time to wake up. Youzi said that if you miss the check-out time, it's still one day's worth." Cai Xiaowen threw off the quilt, got up, dressed and washed.After everything is done, go to check the luggage.Su Ying???s backpack was gone, as was the heaviest bag of pottery tools, it seemed that she carried it away by herself.Cai Xiaowen threw the rest of the luggage into the basket in pieces, went downstairs to the shopkeeper to remit the room money, and left the inn.

There is still some time before the end of the time agreed by Su Yang, Cai Xiaowen is not in a hurry to hurry, and only wants to find something to eat to fill his stomach.Maybe it's because it's not time for meal, but she couldn't find a food stall after wandering around in this small town.Just when she was hungry, another street intersection that she hadn't passed appeared in front of her eyes.Cai Xiaowen's extinguished hope was rekindled, and he turned into the side street in three steps.As a result, I didn't find anything to eat, but I found a lively scene.

Not far away, there was a large circle of people, pinging and bangling, not knowing what happened.Cai Xiaowen was born to like to watch the excitement, even if he was hungry, he couldn't miss the scene in front of him.Taking advantage of the large pannier on her back, she twisted left and right and got into the center of the crowd.Squeezing in and taking a look, she couldn't help being surprised.A good stall was smashed to pieces. Broken pottery shards and large bamboo baskets were pushed to the ground, and the yellow mud inside rolled to pieces.A man who looked like a stall owner was holding the last few yellow pottery bottles, huddled in a corner, and looked pitifully at the little girl in the middle of the crowd.The little girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, dressed gorgeously, and sat proudly on a small bamboo stool, surrounded by four strong men who looked like servants.

Cai Xiaowen listened carefully to the explanations of the good people around him, and asked a few questions from time to time, so he figured out what happened in a short time.This little girl is the second daughter of the county magistrate Dou, Miss Dou Er.Relying on the fact that his father is the county magistrate, he is usually very domineering and arrogant in the city.I don't know where the interest came from today. I took a fancy to the clay pots of this stall and asked the stall owner to make her a pottery portrait.It turned out that she didn't like it when it was done, so she smashed the stall.

Cai Xiaowen stared at Second Miss Dou, frowning.She knew that this portrait of Tao was just a small business.Generally, the most common yellow clay is used to make a small bottle and jar, and then the face is carved on the pottery. It does not need to be dried in the shade, and it can be formed by baking it directly on the fire after carving.Most of the stall owners of this kind of small stalls do not have any superb skills, and the facial makeup carved out is relatively abstract, just a resemblance.Just because of this, they ruined their business, this Second Miss Dou is really unreasonable.Cai Xiaowen thought of her younger sister, Xiao Niujiao, who was obviously only 12 years old, so sensible and heart-warming.It's no better than not knowing, and there are fewer good girls than just knowing.

At this time Miss Dou spoke, and she raised her chin and said to the stall owner, "I'll give you a chance to make another jar for this lady. If it's still not the same, this lady will ask them to take away your last few broken bottles." smashed."

Why are you still so stubborn... Cai Xiaowen can't bear this kind of bullying person, just when he heard the anger, and saw the pitiful appearance of the stall owner who was so anxious that he was about to cry, his heart felt hot, and he didn't think much about it. He raised his hand and shouted, "Can I do it?!"

This shout startled the surrounding onlookers.Second Miss Dou was also taken aback.It was the first time she ran into an interrupter for so many years.

"You? Who are you? It's none of your business!"

Cai Xiaowen walked out of the crowd, stood in front of Second Miss Dou, ignored the four servants who tried their best to put on a fierce look, and said calmly: "Outsiders pass by here... I am a Taoist, and I can do this. Don't you just want to Want one that looks like you, I'll make it for you."

Second Miss Dou hesitated for a moment, raised her chin and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance. If you don't do well, come and be my maid!"

Bear kids are really annoying... Cai Xiaowen didn't say what was in his heart, nodded and walked to the stall owner, and said with a smile: "Master, I can lend you a clay brazier."

The stall owner looked at Cai Xiaowen worriedly and gratefully, and hurriedly handed over his bamboo knife: "Girl, do you want this?"

"No, I brought it myself." Cai Xiaowen unloaded the pannier, and took out his bag of tools from the bottom.Unpacking the burden, including the bamboo knife, there are only five tools, which is far from Su Yang's wonderful scene that can cover a table.Cai Xiaowen picked out a small carving knife from inside, fastened the cloth buckle and put it back to its original place.

"Master, the fire is out, please help me burn it."

The stall owner repeatedly agreed, and hurried to light the fire.Cai Xiaowen randomly picked up a piece of yellow mud from the ground, rolled up his sleeves, poured water, and mixed the mud.Second Miss Dou saw Cai Xiaowen's methodical appearance and knew that she really knew how to make pottery, so she couldn't help biting her lips tightly.

The stall owner over there was still burying his head in the fire. He had just made a little flame from the dead branches of the charcoal when he heard exclamations from the crowd.He looked up and was also surprised.In the short time he spent burning the fire, Cai Xiaowen had already molded the jar, and it looked neat and neat.This is called "one-handed skill" in jargon.It means that the pottery shape can be made by hand, without rework or trimming.This is possible only if you have a deep foundation.The stall owner realized that he had met a master, so he was overjoyed, grabbed the cattail fan and fanned the flames loudly.

Second Miss Dou didn't know the jargon of being a potter, she was posing according to Cai Xiaowen's instructions. "Turn a little to the left...yes, tilt your head to the right...well...smile...that's why this pretty girl is always pouting." Second Miss Dou couldn't help laughing, and immediately got serious again Turning back, pouted and said: "Draw quickly, don't talk nonsense."

"This isn't a painting, it's an engraving." Cai Xiaowen finished correcting Miss Dou's nonsense, held up the clay embryo and held the carving knife, and carved on the clay embryo according to Miss Dou's pattern.The crowd of onlookers gathered behind Cai Xiao's tattoo at this time, and they were amazed to see how she painted Miss Dou's face with a few strokes.

Cai Xiaowen put down the carving knife, handed the carved clay embryo to the stall owner, and said with a silly smile: "Master, you can burn it, it's made by the two of us." The stall owner happily put the pottery embryo on the fire.After patiently flipping through it twice, he turned his head and looked at Cai Xiaowen inquiringly. Seeing her nodding, he squeezed the tongs and carefully picked up the clay pot, and put it on a wooden tray to show to Second Miss Dou.

Before Second Miss Dou could speak, the servant next to her praised: "It's really like it! It's really like it! It's as beautiful as Second Miss. Look, Second Miss..." Before the flattery was finished, Second Miss Dou stared back , he quickly shut up.

"This time, it's not out of shape at all. I will reward you." The servant ordered, and took out a silver ingot and handed it to Cai Xiaowen.Cai Xiaowen didn't even look at it, he looked at Second Miss Dou and said, "I don't want it. Just ask Second Miss not to let this master lose. It's not easy to support a family."

Second Miss Dou signaled with her eyes, and the servant threw the money to the stall owner.The stall owner threw himself on the ground, grabbed the money tightly, and looked up at Cai Xiaowen gratefully.Cai Xiaowen didn't even look at him, he just packed up his carving knife, put the basket back on his back, and said to Miss Dou, "Farewell." Just as he turned to leave, he heard a shout from behind: "Stop!"

Cai Xiaowen looked back and saw Second Miss Dou got off the bamboo stool and took a few steps towards him, the expression on her face was different from before, not a bit domineering, but more virginal.

"Sister, can I ask you to go home and make me a clay pot? I'll give you a lot of silver!"

Cai Xiaowen smiled, turned around and walked away, saying, "No, I'm going to find my senior sister."

Being rejected so flatly, Second Miss Dou clenched her lower lip, her complexion changed, and the domineering look returned to her brows: "You guys, grab her!"

The two servants rushed forward immediately, trying to grab Cai Xiaowen's arm.Seeing that his palms were about to touch Cai Xiaowen's arms, Cai Xiaowen suddenly lowered his head, bent his elbows, and hit the two people's stomachs vigorously.

"Ah!" The two families squatted down clutching their stomachs in pain.Cai Xiaowen even apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm a martial arts practitioner. I couldn't help but defend myself when you rushed over from behind me. Does it hurt?"

Second Miss Dou stomped her feet in anger: "Trash! You two, fuck me! Catch her!"

Seeing the strong man rushing over again, Cai Xiaowen shouted angrily: "Are you going to kidnap someone in public?!"

Miss Dou actually smiled.Under the smile, there is a pretty girl, but what she said is so unreasonable: "I said, I will give you a lot of money. It is you who don't know how to praise."

"My senior sister is still waiting for me, who wants your money! You are committing a crime!"

Second Miss Dou shrugged, smiled nonchalantly and said, "My father is the county magistrate."

This brat is so annoying!I'd better run... Cai Xiaowen understands that it's useless to talk too much, and it's not suitable to stay here for a long time.She turned and pushed through the crowd and fled.This swiftly ran straight to the outskirts of the city gate.But she was carrying a heavy pannier, so she couldn't run fast.As soon as he got out of the city gate to catch his breath, the four servants who followed him like a shadow caught up and surrounded Cai Xiaowen.

Oops, oops... Cai Xiaowen couldn't help but panic because he couldn't say it well.With one against four, the opponent is still a strong man, and she is completely unsure of winning.What's more, I haven't eaten anything since I woke up, and after running such a long distance, I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back, so I don't have the strength to fight.She suppressed panic, put down the pan, pulled out the iron fan around her waist, and slowly unfolded it.

"Do you recognize this iron fan! I am the direct disciple of the head of the Xuanhu Sect of the Emei Sect! Who dares to come up?!" Cai Xiaowen is just a lay disciple of the Xuanhu Sect of the Emei Sect, not the direct line of the head.This big talk is just hoping to use the reputation of the Emei School to scare off the enemy.

Unexpectedly, the four servants looked at each other two by two, and then said with shame on their faces: "Emei sect... what sect is it? Xuanhumen? I only know that there is a Menghumen horse hanging hall in our city."

"..." Cai Xiaowen was so choked that he couldn't say a word, but he was about to cry in his heart: it's terrible to be uneducated!

Seeing that she stopped talking, the four servants exchanged glances with each other, and were about to kick their legs and pounce on her with all their might.At this moment, a clear female voice was heard from a high place: "Four men bully a girl, it's shameful!"

As soon as the words fell, there were only four whoosh, whoosh, and four flying knives approached in the wind.Each of the four servants stabbed deeply at their feet.They follow Ms. Dou Er to run amok in the village, bullying tofu sellers, jokers, wonton cookers, earthen pot burners... all kinds of neighbors.I have never held a knife before, and I have never seen such a formation.The four of them were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, they were afraid that if they took one more step, the next throwing knife would stab them somewhere.

The female voice came again: "Do you want to fight? If you don't fight, get out!"

Faced with such a huge disparity, what was there to do? The four of them turned around and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.Cai Xiaowen didn't care about them, looked up and looked around, and finally found the girl who drew his sword to help on a big tree not far away.She had a slender figure, her hair was tied with a purple rope, and it was neatly tied into a ponytail.The forehead hair naturally hangs on the cheeks, moving with the wind.The robes are light and plain, with fluttering cuffs, like a chivalrous woman in the book who laughs proudly in the rivers and lakes.Looking at the book-like girl, as if his dream of being a chivalrous woman suddenly came true in front of his eyes, Cai Xiaowen was fascinated by it, and he didn't know why.

Seeing the four men running away, the girl on the tree shook her head and sighed softly: "Hey, I am full of righteousness." Looking down again, she saw that the direct disciple of the head of the Xuanhu Sect of the Emei School was looking at her with his mouth wide open. In a daze, he couldn't help laughing: "Girl, are you okay?"

Cai Xiaowen suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly replied: "It's all right! Thank you Xia Nu for saving me! Can I ask for your name?!"

The girl on the tree adjusted the flying knife skin around her waist, and replied, "I'm not a chivalrous woman. You can call me... Yan Erling."

"...Yu Yuyu?"

"Pfft..." The girl couldn't help but chuckle: "How did you hear that... My name is Yan Erling!"
