Concubine is unusual

Chapter 161
Yu Yanran glanced at the book with a yellow cover, and didn't reach out to take it, but said suspiciously: "I really didn't see it, you are still engaged in a variety of businesses! You are playing the erhu, why are you selling pirated books as well?" gone?"

The old blind man rolled his half-closed eyelids a few times, sighed and said, "It's not easy to make money, otherwise I wouldn't be bothered to take on multiple jobs!"

"At your level, how dare you take on multiple jobs? With all due respect, your erhu is really unreliable. I have only squatted here so hard that my ears are almost calloused. What do you know? Ever play the erhu?"

Yu Yanran almost wanted to say: If you say you have learned it, it is obviously an insult to the erhu, okay?At least I held back.

The old blind man was not happy anymore: "Stop it, are you saying that to show that your level is higher than mine? If you have the ability, you can pull it off!"

He was ridiculed by Yu Yanran, and very unconvinced, he stuffed the erhu into her hand.

Yu Yanran pursed her lips and smiled, this really didn't bother her.Since childhood, she has been interested in various ethnic musical instruments.Erhu, she has practiced it specially!

Yu Yanran took over the erhu, re-tuned the strings, and then calmly played the song "Erquan Yingyue", which she had practiced countless times.

The melodious, deep, and at the same time passionate music flowed, as if someone was sighing, telling his bitter and miserable life, and within a moment, it attracted a large circle of people, all of whom listened intently, and there were even Tears welled up in his eyes, and someone wiped his eyes.

After the song was over, the audience threw money into the iron box one after another, and they heard the tinkling of copper plates, which was more beautiful than any other music in the ears of the old blind man and Yu Yanran!
The old blind man leaned into Yu Yanran's ear excitedly and said, "Little brother, I am willing to bow down to the old blind man! Keep pulling, don't stop!"

Yu Yanran also got excited and pulled up one song after another.What "Blessed Lovers", "Pinghu Autumn Moon", "Listening to the Pine", the whole person was immersed in the music, and even forgot where he was.

Until the sky gradually darkened, people dispersed.Yu Yanran and the old blind man began to count the harvest.

The old blind man grinned from ear to ear, showing his broken teeth.This day's income is almost equal to his previous ten days' income.

Yu Yanran said directly: "Give me half of your points!"

The old blind man immediately changed his expression and tried to open his half-blind eyes wide: "What do you mean by that?"

Yu Yanran shrugged her shoulders: "Don't pretend you don't understand! You play the erhu and I work hard, and the money you earn is shared equally. What shouldn't it be?"

It's obviously a matter of course, but the old blind man makes such a noise, it seems like she wants to steal money.

"Just because you are young, handsome, and talented, how can you have the nerve to compete with the old blind man for such a small amount of money?" The old blind man said angrily.

Yu Yanran snorted through her nose: "In normal times, I wouldn't pay attention to such a few small coins. But at this moment, I am being bullied by dogs, and shrimps in Longyou Shoal!"

Sighing, Yu Yanran said without hesitation: "I'll tell you the truth! Young Master, I met a thief, and I didn't have half a copper left. What do you think I should do?"

"How much was stolen?"

"3000 taels of silver notes."

"You!" The old blind man glared at him, lowered his voice and said bitterly: "Prodigal son, prodigal son, 3000 taels! How much delicious food can you buy! How many days can you live in style!" He looked so distressed that he was dying. , I almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

"You think I think so? I'm obviously the victim!" Yu Yanran said with sadness.

The old blind man softened: "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about the past. Meeting is a fate, you stay for a while, first, teach the old blind man your erhu skills; How about leaving after enough travel expenses?"

Yu Yanran hummed, stretched out her hand and said, "Give me half of the money first, I'm not going to sleep on the street."

"How can I let you sleep on the street? Come, come, and I will take you to my house for a few days." The old blind man waved his hand boldly, as if he really had a mansion.

Hearing the confusion in Yu Yanran's head, does this old blind man still have a family?Could it be that it is like the fake beggar in the previous life, superficially pitiful, making a living by begging, but when he really returned to his hometown, which house didn't have several floors and was comfortably decorated?

The old blind man led Yu Yanran to a delicatessen shop, and bought a roast chicken and some stewed beef with the money he earned today.He even had a jug of water and wine in good spirits, saying that he wanted to have a drink or two with Yu Yanran and have a good chat.

The old blind man's house is located under a low bridge.He picked up some wooden boards, nailed them left and right, and actually surrounded a room with a large area.And there are doors and windows.

When I entered the door, I saw a wooden bed piled with colorless sheets; I didn’t know where to find a three-legged table, and the missing leg was randomly tied with an arm-thick cloth. branches.The two chairs are naturally discarded things, they wobbled when they sat on them, making a creaking protest sound, as if saying: It’s broken, it’s broken~
The old blind man said proudly: "My house is not bad, right? I'm not bragging. Many good men have rested here to escape the wind and rain when they were down and down!"

Yu Yanran nodded and praised: "It really is a paradise. It can accommodate the world's downcast people, and the village of Chai Daguan in "Water Margin" is nothing more than that!"

The old blind man put the roast chicken and beef on the broken table, found two broken bowls out of nowhere, filled them up, and placed one in front of Yanran.

Yu Yanran backed off and said, "I won't drink any more wine, just fill my stomach indiscriminately, so I can find an inn to stay overnight." Saying this, she tore off a chicken thigh and gnawed on it.

"It's come to this point, and you still want to stay in a hotel?" The old blind man took a big sip of wine from the bowl and muttered, "When you're full and drunk, just squeeze a bed with the old blind man and deal with it. chant!"

This sentence made Yu Yanran's eyeballs almost fall out, even if she was killed, she would not be able to squeeze into the bed with this old blind man!

She threw down the chicken bone, slapped the table, and said angrily: "If you dare to spray dung all over your mouth, believe it or not, the young master will smash your house to pieces?"

Yu Yanran's slap was so powerful that the wine bowl on the table jumped twice, tilted to one side, and the wine in it trickled down the table.

But the old blind man was so distressed that he wished he could lie on the table, stretch out his tongue like a dog, and lick up all the wine.Such reckless recklessness, you will be struck by lightning!

But after all, it still didn't do it.Looking at Yu Yanran's bright eyes, he was completely overwhelmed by her aura, and whispered: "Young people are awesome, young people are awesome!"

Then he shook his head and sighed, "I think back then, I was a well-known man in Jianghu. If you dare to speak to me in such a tone, hehe, even if you don't die on the spot, you must be mutilated .If I hadn’t been injured for some reason and lost my strength, how could I have ended up like this. And how could I be angry with the junior and swallow my anger?”

Yu Yanran shrugged her shoulders: "Heroes don't mention the bravery of the past." I'm afraid that the courage of the past was probably blown out of it, right?

"Yes, a good man doesn't mention his bravery back then. But when he mentions my Emei Sect, it is still very famous~"

"You Emei faction? The Emei faction are all women, tell me the truth, how did you get in?" Yu Yanran sneered.

"Maybe it's the Huashan School. It's so old that the old blind man can't remember it clearly. It's not good to be old!"

"Tch, maybe it's the Wudang sect? It could be the Kunlun sect, the Shaolin sect, the Kongtong sect, which one is it?" Yu Yanran said the names of several sects without stopping.

The old blind man blinked his half-blind old eyes, showed a mouthful of broken teeth, and laughed hehehehe.

Yu Yanran slowed down her tone and said, "Let's agree, it's okay to teach you how to play the erhu. From tomorrow onwards, the money we earn will be shared equally. If I stay in a hotel, it will naturally come from my share, not yours." It’s cheap. I’ve got enough travel expenses, so I’ll go.”

"Talking about money all the time hurts feelings!" the old blind man said quietly.

"What relationship do I have with you? It's better to talk about money more directly!" Yu Yanran said, rolling her eyes.

In the end, the old blind man gave Yu Yanran half of the remaining money.

From that day on, during the day, Yu Yanran and the old blind man got together to raise funds by walking around the streets playing the erhu; at night, they found a cheap inn to stay overnight.

At the same time, she did not forget to fulfill her promise, and with great effort, she finally taught the blunt old blind man the song "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon".

Teach other things, but you can't teach them life and death.It's so stupid that one can't wait to knock his gray-haired head off.

However, seeing the pitiful look of the old blind man, Yu Yanran had no choice but to give up.If you continue to force it, it will be difficult to force people to die!
Once when he was playing the erhu on the street to raise funds, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two of Li Xingyu's bodyguards passing by. Their eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, fell on Yanran's face; one of them stared at her for a while before raising his eyes. feet gone.

Yu Yanran's face was easy at first, but before going out, she rubbed her hands against the bottom of the old blind man's pot, and wiped some dust on her face, so she was not afraid of the guards watching.

Even if Li Xingyu stood in front of her, he might not recognize her!
However, when Yu Yanran thought of the luxurious and comfortable life in Li Xingyu's Prince's Mansion, and compared it with the current desolation, she felt melancholy for no reason.

Fortunately, she is optimistic by nature, thinking: This is also a rare physical hardship in life!There's nothing wrong with being free!
Time flies, and almost a month has passed in the blink of an eye.In addition to meals and lodging, Yu Yanran left behind a dozen taels of silver.Although she didn't know if it would be enough to spend on the way to Dongyao Country, she didn't plan to live this kind of life as a street performer anymore.So, I bid farewell to the old blind man.

Even though the old blind man was usually eccentric and moody, when it came time to break up, he still couldn't help showing his reluctance, and insisted on giving Yu Yanran more money.

It made Yu Yanran feel embarrassed, so she refused to take it no matter what.Who knows that the old blind man is still angry, if you don't accept the payment, you will look down on me.

In desperation, Yu Yanran had no choice but to accept it on the surface.While the old blind man was not paying attention, he quietly stuffed it back under his pillow.

It's not easy for him to be alone at this age, and to be alone, isn't it?

Besides, if he left by himself, his daily income would definitely drop sharply. It would be difficult for him to even eat meat and drink!

Alas, I'm doing well in the future, I have to come back and take a look at this old blind man, and try to let him live a good life too!Yu Yanran thought.
