Everyone was talking at the same time, and their hands did not stop moving. Suddenly, there was a sound outside the door. It was the sound of firecrackers. Tong Xiangyu covered her ears and walked to the door. She smiled and glanced outside the door. They were setting off firecrackers.
"One, two…"
"Don't count. There are only 270 to 280 of them. In another hour, it'll be enough!”
Lao Bai laughed. This Tong Xiangyu was even counting dumplings!
"Okay, okay, okay. Wait for me to go out and buy a piece of red paper!”
Tong Xiangyu smiled embarrassedly and licked the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue. She was drooling!
"No problem. You buy it and I'll write it down!”
Scholar smiled.
"Uh, it's better for Xiao Qi to write it. You can write it next year!”
Tong Xiangyu laughed dryly.
"Tsk, why didn't you ask me to write it?”
Scholar was unwilling.
"Aiya, your handwriting is too dry and too thin. It's not festive enough. Why don't you write it on Qingming Day later?”
Tong Xiangyu waved her hand. Everyone laughed when they heard that. To think that she could come up with a couplet during the Qingming Festival!
"No, didn't you say last year that you would let me write it this year?”
The Elementary Scholar was unhappy. Last year, during the New Year, they were supposed to let the Elementary Scholar write the Spring Festival couplets. However, after Tong Xiangyu saw the Spring Festival couplets written by the Elementary Scholar, she was not very satisfied. Later, Lao Bai told Tong Xiangyu that Bai Qi's calligraphy was good. Hence, the responsibility of writing the Spring Festival couplets fell on Bai Qi's head.
"Aiya, really. I said that if the conditions allow it, but it's not allowed now! Don't say anymore. I'm going to buy something. I'll also buy you a better brush!”
Tong Xiangyu said with a smile. If she couldn't convince him, then she could only bribe him!
"Oh!"
The scholar nodded dejectedly. What could he do?
"Hey, shopkeeper…don't forget to bring back two strings of firecrackers!”
Lao Bai said. He didn't stop wrapping the dumplings.
"There are also fireworks and two kicks. The more the better.”
Mo Xiaobei reminded.
"Got it. Wait for me. I'll be right back!”
Tong Xiangyu responded and walked out.
"Sigh! Sigh…you're walking so fast!"
Lao Bai said as he put down the dumplings in his hand and rushed out. However, Tong Xiangyu's figure had already disappeared around the corner of the street.
"What's wrong? What do you want to buy, Old Bai?”
Big Mouth laughed.
"What should I buy? The locks in our shop have rusted. I was thinking of asking her to come back and buy a few locks! It's the new year, and you've attracted thieves again!"
Lao Bai said in a low voice. Bai Qi wanted to laugh when he heard that. Inviting a thief? The thief's ancestor was already here. How could he be stolen?
However, thinking about it, it made sense. She was not afraid of thieves stealing, but she was afraid of thieves remembering!
"I'll go buy it!"
Bai Qi said with a smile. Making dumplings was a little tiring, so it was fine to go out and slack off!
"Alright, go to the White Stone Bridge. The locksmiths there make good locks and they're cheap!”
The old man said without raising his head.
Bai Qi nodded. But…the locksmith of Baishiqiao? Why did these words sound so familiar!
Shaking his head, he decided not to think about it anymore. He quickly walked out of the inn and headed out of the town.
Baishiqiao was a small village, just outside the town, right next to the village of Qixia Town.
If someone stood on the road and looked at Bai Qi, they would realize that he had moved nearly ten meters away!
He couldn't see his footsteps clearly either. He was dazzled!
Don't misunderstand that this wasn't the Wave Subtle Steps. Bai Qi had realized that the Wave Subtle Steps could only be considered a movement technique. If he really wanted to use it to travel, he would have to rely on the Crossing the River on a Reed that he had obtained from Li Xingzhou. That was a genuine qinggong!
"Is this the place?"
Bai Qi looked at the dilapidated house in front of him and could not help but be curious. However, when he asked for directions, the person clearly told him that this was the place!
"Yes…"
Just as Bai Qi was about to speak, the door opened. However, it was not the old locksmith that the people at Baishi Bridge had mentioned. Instead, it was two young men dressed in black. Although they were dressed as men, they did not exude a trace of masculinity. They were women dressed as men!
"Male and female twin demons!"
Bai Qi finally understood why the locksmith of Baishi Bridge sounded so familiar. This old man was the one who had been educated by Guo Furong! The two people in front of him were dressed in black. They must be Guo Furong and Little Qing!
"What are you looking at!"
The person in the lead was Guo Furong. When she saw Bai Qi looking at her in shock, she immediately lost her composure and quickly asked, why was he staring at her for no reason?
The corners of Bai Qi's mouth curled up slightly when he heard this, and he walked into the house. He had no interest in this Little Guo, let alone provoke her!
"Stop! Where are you going?"
Guo Furong did not intend to let Bai Qi go. She moved sideways and stood in front of Bai Qi as she asked.
"To buy a lock, Big Brother!"
Bai Qi said softly and pointed at the room.
"Buy a lock? " Hmph, you're lucky. The person inside is an out-and-out bandit. I taught him a lesson. Otherwise, if you go in, you'll definitely come out unscathed!”
Bai Qi stared blankly at Guo Furong's bragging. So the locksmith still didn't escape this calamity! What bad luck!
"That's quite lucky. In that case, I'll go back first!”
Bai Qi said and turned to leave. He had no intention of communicating with Guo Furong in depth. With Guo Furong's personality, it would be bad if she pestered him! Vile development was the most important thing!
