The cooks and waiters have all been dismissed. Shopkeeper Tian only had to push the cart himself, and he was sweating and panting. After all, the old woman and daughter were female and had no strength, so they could only help. Shopkeeper Tian wanted to throw away something several times, but he couldn't.

willing to give up.

People were coming and going on the street, either on their way to the government office or on the way back from the government office. There were only a few people like Shopkeeper Tian who abandoned their family property and rushed to Dongming City with not much valuables.

. The acquaintances of the neighbors marveled at the fact that shopkeeper Tian had always been calm, but how could he get impulsive as he got older and lived longer? Some people joked, half jokingly and half seriously, that since Lao Tian fled the country shirtless, why not give him the wine shop?

Home is worth two cents at least. Shopkeeper Tian was red-faced and extremely embarrassed. He used the cart to hide his embarrassment, but his daughter Tian Jiao remained calm and unmoved.

After a journey and a rest, we were not far from Dongming City. There were many fewer pedestrians on the street. Tian Jiao saw someone driving a cart from a distance. He walked forward calmly and sat on the driver's seat.

The man was a middle-aged man, short in stature, with messy hair that looked like matted grass. He was wearing an old sheepskin coat and was swinging a long whip, looking like an old god.

Tian Jiao knew him. He was a distant relative of Shopkeeper Yang of Xingfu Restaurant. He was nicknamed Gouzi. He worked in the kitchen. He was a hard-working man. He sharpened knives well and drove a good car. He also had a big appetite and a tall rice bowl.

He had to eat three or four bowls in one meal, but he still complained that it was not enough. The cart was pulled by two loudly barking donkeys. They were fat and strong, with shiny coats. With every step they took, their strong muscles slid under the skin, which was pleasing to the eye. Only those who were full were satisfied.

Donkeys are so nourishing. It seems that shopkeeper Yang collected too much grain and grass to eat. He was afraid of making people jealous, so he only fed as much as possible to the animals.

Shopkeeper Tian sighed. The Yang family had two barking donkeys, two donkeys, and a cart, but he could only push the cart with all his strength. Comparing people with others is really annoying! But then I thought about it.

I think he is lucky compared to those ordinary people who are still hesitant.

Tian Jiao glanced at his father, trotted forward, and said hello to Gouzi. Gouzi stopped the donkey cart. Shopkeeper Yang opened the curtain and stuck his head out, looked around a few times, exchanged a few words with Tian Jiao, and gave instructions.

After saying a few words to Gouzi, Tian Jiao bowed and thanked him.

Guzi jumped out of the car and drove, quickly unloaded a yelping donkey, led it to Shopkeeper Tian's cart, tied the donkey, handed the reins to Shopkeeper Tian, ​​grinned, showing his scorched teeth. Shopkeeper Tian Zhang Er Jingang was confused, and gently

He was beating his sore lower back with a smile on his face. When his daughter came back, he asked in confusion: "What's going on? What's going on?"

Tian Jiao helped his mother get into the car and wrote lightly: "I told shopkeeper Yang that two immortal masters we knew pointed us to Dongming City. Don't miss the opportunity, so he took the initiative to lend us the donkey.

Good luck."

Although his daughter is ugly, she has a bright mind. Shopkeeper Tian was very relieved and nodded: "Well, immortals and mortals live together in Dongming City. It's a good thing that we are new here and have each other to look after each other."

Seeing that his father understood, Tian Jiao smiled and said: "Let's go quickly, enter the city, settle down, and return the donkey to Shopkeeper Yang. Dad, you can go then, and I will accompany my mother."

Shopkeeper Tian led the braying donkey in front, the old woman sat on the carriage, and her daughter followed behind. The three of them approached Dongming City amidst the sound of hoofbeats.

People in twos and threes gathered outside the city, supporting the old and the young, carrying small belongings on their backs, and walked timidly towards Dongming City. There was a pergola set up at the gate of the city, and Duan Wenhuan was sitting in the shed, writing a thick account book.

After recording the names and household registrations of the visitors and arranging their residence, Cao Jinren handed them a small wooden plaque and gave each of them one Yuanyang Pill, telling them to take it immediately to ward off the Yin Qi in the city.

Shopkeeper Yang and his family entered the city first. Shopkeeper Tian followed behind with his donkey and waited patiently for a while. When it was his turn, he reported the names of the three of them with a smile on his face. Duan Wenhuan wrote clearly in one stroke, and said: "Three people

Go to the home of Ji Chou Liu Hu." Cao Jinren handed him three Yuanyang Pills and a small wooden sign. He had been in Scarlet Star City for many years, and he knew Shopkeeper Tian and had dealings with him. He smiled at him and explained a few more words.

, "Self is the street, ugliness is the road, don't go astray."

Shopkeeper Tian bent down and thanked him, then respectfully exited the pavilion, called the old woman and daughter over, and handed Yuanyang Pills to them one by one. Tian Jiao held it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully.

The color is green and lovely. She put it under her nose and sniffed it, and there was a faint medicinal fragrance. She raised her neck and swallowed the Yuanyang Pill. The pill melted in her mouth, and a warm heat penetrated into the texture of her organs, and she suddenly became energetic.

A jolt.

Shopkeeper Tian suppressed his excitement and curiosity, pretended to be calm, and led the donkey into Dongming City.

Just after passing the city gate, the donkey barked like a withered crop, its hooves fluttered, staggered this way and that, its head drooped, huffing and puffing, and managed to walk a few steps, but could no longer drag the cart. "It's broken, can't it?

Tired the donkey? No way, how can it be paralyzed on this small road..."

At this juncture, a yelping donkey is not cheap. Shopkeeper Tian is a little confused. Shopkeeper Yang has good intentions and lends them a donkey in times of need. Don't cause any trouble. The good relationship is not formed and the relationship between the two families is ruined.

.

Tian Jiao pulled his father's sleeves and motioned for him to look up. Shopkeeper Tian squinted his eyes, and then he realized that Shopkeeper Yang's cart was parked beside the street. The originally majestic and braying donkey also looked like a defeated one.

The crops were swaying, their front hooves softened, and they fell to their knees, even their heads dropped.

"What...what's going on?"

Tian Jiao smiled and said: "Those two donkeys can't eat Yuanyang Pill!"

Shopkeeper Tian suddenly realized that he had to unload the donkey and go forward to discuss it with Shopkeeper Yang. A sudden disaster happened unexpectedly. Shopkeeper Yang had a sad face and didn't know what to do. Gouzi knelt beside the donkey, put the donkey's head on his lap, and opened its mouth.

After watching for a long time, he leaned to his chest to listen to the sound again, and said in a loud voice: "That shouldn't be the case. You are obviously fine, why are you paralyzed?"

Shopkeeper Yang was also confused for a moment, but after Shopkeeper Tian gave him some advice, he immediately understood that to save the two donkeys, he would have to ask for two more Yuanyang Pills. He was a shrewd man, weighed the pros and cons, thanked each other verbally, and gave his wife and concubine a

The sons and daughters were all called down, and they asked Gouzi to take good care of the cart and donkeys. He then went to the city gate and waited, greeting the people who moved into Dongming City, and picked strong men to help, promising money and dry food to help push the cart.

Go to residence.

Shopkeeper Tian returned the donkey to Gouzi, thanked him, and pushed the cart to Ji Chou Liu Hu Xing.

A straight thoroughfare stretches forward, paved with bluestones, and is smooth and smooth. At the end is a hill shrouded in clouds and mist. You can't see carefully from a distance. The streets on both sides are named "ganzhi", with the heavenly stems being the horizontal streets and the earthly branches.

They are vertical roads, slanted, wide and narrow, of different lengths, and well-proportioned, dividing the houses into neighborhoods of different sizes.
