This female barber is very skilled

Chapter 23

Amidst the booing of the crowd, 17-year-old Tang Qing cut off the long braid that Wang Banxian had left for more than half a century.

"Fulfillment, fulfillment, master Jiujin is really extraordinary, I admit it, I admit it!"

Wang Banxian caressed the braided hair with his skinny hands, regretful and helpless.

"Also called Master Jiujin?!"

Tang Qing brought clippers and a razor, and after a quick push, the razor flew in the air, turning Wang Banxian's head into a golden light without any hair left.

"Comfortable! Happy! Open and bright! Master Jiujin's craftsmanship is absolutely top-notch. Your father and grandfather should worship you as their teacher!"

Wang Banxian touched his big bald head, as happy as a three-year-old child.

"You still say Master Jiujin? Watch how I shave your beard!"

Tang Qing swung the razor in his hand, and he was about to strike.

"Hey, master Jiujin can't do this, absolutely can't do it, I'm still the best plan to go 36 times, bye bye, bye bye..."

Wang Banxian raised his robe with one hand, covered his chin with the other, and stumbled out of the People's Barbershop.

"Bye bye, I beg you big pig!"

Tang Qing stood majestically at the door of the People's Barber Shop with clippers in one hand and a razor in the other, as if he had become the owner of the place.

"Master Jiujin, can you perm your hair?"

The little girl stopped and asked Tang Qing.

"Yes? Why?"

Tang Qing and the little girl just walked on the East Bridge.

The Thousand People's Pit where Wang Banxian is located is on the other side of the Shan River, passing through the East Bridge.

At this time, the East Bridge is extremely lively. People who come out to enjoy the shade under the dew lights stand on both sides of the bridge in groups of three or five, or lean on the railings, or simply sit on the steps of the sidewalk, bathe in the cool river breeze, and talk about what they saw and heard during the day. .Cars come and go in the middle of the bridge, and the shining lights show that this small county in eastern Zhejiang is getting richer.

"I thought you could only shave your head."

"I can only shave my head, but a perm is also a shave?"

"How can a perm be considered a shave?"

"Do you think shaving your head is just shaving your head?"

"Isn't it?"

"No, what's your name?"

"My name is Wang Xinjie."

"Xinjie, that's a good name."

Tang Qing and Wang Xinjie walked and chatted all the way, and soon came to Thousand Pit.

Qianrenkeng was originally a small village by the Shan River, but now it has become the largest village in the city. Most of the people who come to work in Shancheng from other places live here.

Wang Banxian's father, the grandfather of Wang Carpenter, is said to be blind.

In the past, people in the village looked down on their family because they were orphans and widowed, and they were poor.

But since he started fortune-telling, his family situation has changed a lot, and he actually took the lead in building a building.

"Master Jiujin, be careful."

Wang Xinjie led the way, turning around to remind Tang Qing from time to time.

Not to mention the narrow roads in the village, there are twists and turns. The ground is full of all kinds of garbage such as vegetables, leaves and roots. If you accidentally step on a watermelon or banana peel, you are guaranteed to take a ride on the Ferris wheel.

This is not a thrilling thing, but the terrible thing is that a basin of foot washing water is poured down, and a cigarette butt is thrown on top of your head after taking a free bath...

"Master Jiujin, here we are."

Under the guidance of Wang Xinjie, Tang Qing walked through the pass with fear and caution, and finally stood in front of a five-story building.

"Master Jiujin, you don't need to enter the gate, my grandfather lives next door."

Just as Tang Qing was about to step into the building, Wang Xinjie called her to stop.

next door?The next door is also a five-story building. Unexpectedly, the Wang family has a lot of assets.

Tang Qing turned around and walked towards the building next door, but just as he reached the gate and wanted to go in, Wang Xinjie shouted from behind again:

"Master Jiujin, it's not your place, it's here."

Tang Qing looked back and saw Wang Xinjie standing in the middle of two buildings waving to her.

Um?it's here?This place is obviously just a small corridor between two houses, how could people live there?

Tang Qing walked in and took a look, and saw a bamboo shed in the road, and more than a dozen people stood outside the shed.

Building on the east and building on the west, the roof is a shed, the front of the house is a shed, and the back is a shed. For an urban village like Qianrenkeng, it is common and not surprising.

What surprised Tang Qing was that Wang Banxian was lying in this private bamboo shed.

"Xinjie, was your grandfather hit by a car outside?"

Yancheng has special rules. If a person dies outside due to a car accident, he can no longer enter the house and enter the middle hall.

"no."

"Then why did your grandfather put your grandfather in this shed?"

"My great-grandfather used to live in this shed."

"what?!"

Tang Qing was not ordinary shocked this time, he stood in place for several minutes and took a step.If Wang Xinjie hadn't come to pull her, she couldn't believe that this was the reality she saw.

"Damn old man, he's about to die, why shave his head!"

"That's right, the money can't be saved."

"It's not just money for shaving your head, it's also money for profit."

"No wonder she came here so quickly."

……

When Tang Qing walked into the bamboo shed, the women standing outside not only did not greet her, but turned their heads with disgust.

With the help of the dim street lights, Tang Qing saw Wang Banxian lying on the bed.

It is said to be a bed, but it is actually just a wooden board, which is cushioned with four cement bricks.

Carpenter Wang was kneeling in front of the bed, the ribs of his bent back were clearly concave and convex under the wet gray undershirt.

"Master Jiujin, are you here?"

Wang Banxian raised his upper body and greeted Tang Qing.

"you you you……"

Seeing that Wang Banxian was conscious, Tang Qing was at a loss.

"Master Jiujin, please come over this late at night."

"No trouble, how is your health?"

"Your body is fine. It will be easier for you to shave when I sit up?"

"You'd better have a good rest, and I'll come back to shave you tomorrow during the day."

"Master Jiujin, I wanted to shave during the day, but I can't contact you. Xinjie will come to see me this evening, so I'll ask her to come and invite you."

"You'd better have a good rest first, I'll come and shave you during the day tomorrow."

"Master Jiujin, tomorrow is the Hungry Ghost Festival, it's better for me to go today, and I don't need to do the funeral."

"What did you say."

"Master Jiujin, you are a smart person, you should understand everything about this scene."

"You'd better rest well."

"Master Jiujin, I thank you for cutting off my long braid 14 years ago, which allowed me to live for so many years. Today you shave my head again so that I can walk cleanly."

"You are in good health, take a good rest and don't think about it."

"Being in good health doesn't mean you can continue to live. I'm 99, that's enough. You can shave my head."

"I can't shave this head for you."

"Master Jiujin, I'm begging you as an old man, just let me go."

"Master Wang, what's going on?"

Tang Qing asked Carpenter Wang who was kneeling on the ground.

After Tang Qing entered the bamboo shed, Carpenter Wang kept silent and did not dare to look Tang Qing in the eye.

"Master Jiujin, don't make things difficult for him, he looks so godly and heartless on the outside, it's also difficult at home!"

Wang Banxian sat up from the bed.

"Why are you in such good health?"

"I know whether I am in good health or not. I also know when I should leave. Your Master Jiujin will not let me down."

"Okay, I'll shave your head, but after shaving, you have a good rest, those neighbors in People's Barbershop are waiting for you to come and talk about your hair."

Tang Qing opened the shaving box, took out the cloth and wrapped it around Wang Banxian first.

"The neighbors of People's Barbershop are good, I miss them too, but unfortunately I don't dare and have the energy to go over and talk to them."

"There are things you dare not do? You are full of energy!"

Tang Qing shaved his head while chatting with Wang Banxian.

"It's true that the spirit is full, but the heart is dead."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You, it's your mouth that's bad!"

"Yeah, I've been nagging my mouth all my life, it's time to shut it up!"

"Oops, sorry."

Tang Qing's hand stopped, knowing that something was wrong, a streak of blood oozed from Wang Banxian's head.
