Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 36 036. I sold myself
After dawdling in the back kitchen, I finished a bowl of soup cakes.

Li Zhen had more or less strength to work.

Storytelling relies on words, but it relies even more on brains.Although I have eaten quite a lot these days, it’s okay not to eat a meal.

Why be hungry when you may be full?
Looking up at the sky, he drank the leftover soup from the bowl of noodles.

The original soup is the original food.

With a wipe of his mouth, he came directly to the front hall.

With just such a bowl of soup cakes, there were two more tables of guests in the restaurant.

There was some movement upstairs.

Li Zhen didn't dare to delay any longer, sat down at the table, took out the fan from his arms, Xingmu... Then the corner of his mouth twitched.

The handkerchief is used as a filial hat for others.

A little embarrassing.

But it doesn't matter.

Let's talk if you have Xingmu and Fanzi.

Looking at the guests with burning eyes, he patted Xingmu gently:
"Talking about books and singing operas to persuade people."

"Three avenues go to the center."

"Good and evil will pay off in the end."

"This is the right way in the world..."

"Snapped!"

"It's vicissitudes!"

……

The picture of the story of the nine-headed case is actually very abstract.

Because it is in the middle of a scene, and some new things are constantly interspersed back and forth.

The descriptive ability of the storyteller is highly required.

If you don’t speak well, everyone will be confused when listening to it, because it’s a narrative mode that turns eastward and westward, and if you speak in disorder, the audience will listen in disorder.

But if you make it clear enough, then the whole case, the nine heads and thirteen lives is a wonderful drama.

Li Zhen said this book... or called it "stand-up comedy" no less than dozens of times in his previous life, and his methods were very well-measured.

Although it's a pity that the big brother didn't come, but with so many viewers, he has enough to eat.

From Lao Xi'er's discovery that there are three human heads on the flag as an introduction, it leads out that the shopkeeper in Shandong angrily killed his son-in-law "Xiao Libaer" because of his newly married daughter who died, and there was an extra head.

After explaining this reason clearly, I turned my head back to Ma San'er...

On and on, the time has come to noon.

At this moment, all the guests in the room are following his description, as if they have become spectators in the book, following the perspective of each character, watching them "on the spot" either to vent their anger or because of fear. Heads fell one after another.

The image Li Zhen talked about, no matter how he was killed or chopped up, or the occasional jokes mixed in.

A section of "Nine Heads Case" is touching.

Occasionally taking a breath, looking at the longing little eyes of these guests, he thought in his heart whether he could summon another big tower today.

The two towers are combined into one golden tower.

How about three towers?
Is it going to be platinum?
Will there be four, five, six or seven towers in size?

diamond?Grandmaster?The strongest king?
What are so many towers used for?
Summon the dragon after merging?
While talking, while thinking.

And at this moment... Suddenly, a "click" was heard in the sky outside!
A daytime thunder exploded above everyone's heads.

The thunder was so loud that it woke everyone up from the story Li Zhen described.

To tell the truth, Li Zhen was taken aback by himself, thinking that San Qing had come to attack him lately.

This thunder... is really not small.

At this time, the curtain used to block the door from the cold suddenly swung.

got windy……

……

"Stepping up to the pickle jar, and opening it like this, Ma San'er thought I'd put the head here. Then I have to leave quickly! I can't stay here for long! But, once the lid of the jar is opened... yo! Inside the jar, there is still a human head!"

"Wow!!!"

Hearing Li Zhen's words, there were exclamations in the restaurant.

Li Zhen kept talking:
"And ah, this head, the face is rushing up! Ma San'er took a look... Eh? Second brother!"

"Snapped!"

Wake up and take a shot.

"Foreknowledge what will happen in the future, let's listen, and break it down next time!"

The Taoist priest with dark circles under his eyes uttered such a sentence that should be cut to death under the appearance of several regular customers rolling their eyes.

……

"Tsk."

Looking at the bounty in his hand, which was only a dozen or so, Li Zhen shook his head.

Shopkeeper Qu rolled his eyes at the side:
"Okay! Let me ask you, are you sure tomorrow!?"

"Yes, don't worry, you are discouraged."

Li Zhen responded and cupped his hands:

"Master Qu, see you tomorrow!"

After speaking, he stepped out.

As soon as he went out, his face suddenly turned cold.

He raised his head and looked... at some point in the sky, snowflakes like goose feathers floated in the sky.

Snowing……

Li Zhen shook his head, went straight out the back door, and walked towards Mrs. Zheng's house.

The snow was not small, Li Zhen just walked to Xishikou in the wind and snow, and saw the yellow label on the back of the woman's collar at a glance, and there was a family of three standing in front of her, who seemed to be talking to her.

He was taken aback... After thinking for a while, he didn't continue to walk forward, but stopped and looked, and saw that the host was about forty years old, wearing a big coat, under which was a pair of hard-soled soap boots.

Beside him was a woman, who was also wearing a cloak, looking at the fur color, it seemed to be rabbit fur.

And the woman is holding a little girl with a small brass stove in her hand.

The girl should be one or two years younger than E Nu, and not as tall as her.

The middle-aged man was pointing at the little girl being pulled by the woman and saying something, and then he saw E Nu knelt down in front of the little girl and kowtowed.

Under the girl's dazed gaze, he stood beside her.

The middle-aged man smiled and pulled out the yellow label on the back of E Nu's neck, and took out the money bag.

After counting, a series of copper coins were handed over to E Nu.

Looking at the number, Li Zhen estimated that it was about 100 Wen.

Can not help but sigh.

Although it sounds unbelievable... a big living person was sold for 100 Wen.

Not even as valuable as a piece of paper or a fan.

But that's how it is in this world.If someone buys you, don’t they still have to feed you?
Being able to work as a maid for this rich family's lady, at least she will not have to worry about eating and drinking in the future.In the future, if I can be a dowry girl for the young lady, marry into a good family, and have a son and a half daughter, this day can be regarded as hopeful.

After E'nu took the money, she was about to walk into the West Market.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Li Zhen.

"Master!"

The moment she saw Li Zhen, the girl immediately raised the copper coin in her hand and ran towards Li Zhen.

But Li Zhen dodged and disappeared into the alley he had just walked out of.

"Master!"

"Taoist?!"

"Here's your money! I sold myself! Here's your money!"

Hiding in the courtyard of a family, he listened to the crisp calls from outside, without saying a word.

Although he arranged Granny Zheng's funeral, what's the matter...he wouldn't ask for a child's body money.

So no matter how E Nu calls, she just doesn't respond.

Finally, amidst the noise of middle-aged men and women saying "I've saved this money myself", the girl's voice gradually faded away.

Li Zhen climbed over the wall and looked at the back of E Nu following the girl from a distance at the entrance of the alley, and prayed in a low voice:
"Fu Sheng ~ Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable."
