206 Cat catches mouse
After briefly tidying up, Li Qingshan and the others went out.
They all invited the little red horse, but he refused to go, looking up at the horse's hooves and rolling his eyes.
Therefore, they did not bring it with them.
After leaving Lufan Academy, Li Qingshan saw just how prosperous the capital city was.
The width of the street outside the academy alone is three times that of the county town.
The kind that drives a three-seater carriage side by side without being crowded.
It was still early, but the street was already busy with traffic. There were businesses on both sides of the street, vendors on the roadside, and the sounds of hawking and shouting could be heard all the time.
Looking at this scene, the word "lively" can't help but pop up in people's minds.
"Where are we going?" Li Qingshan turned to look at Xia Lin and asked.
Xia Lin shook his head: "You can play with me. In fact, I haven't been out much."
Hearing this, Li Qingshan didn't feel surprised at all.
After all, there is everything in the palace, and when the princess travels, there must be countless guards and soldiers clearing the place in advance and cheering in front of them.
It is estimated that although they can be said to be the masters of the world, they have never even experienced the fireworks at the emperor's feet.
"Then just wander around as you like, wherever you go."
"good!"
…
"Come, take a look, take a look, the rich are doing it for money, and the poor are doing it for themselves!"
In an open space, a performing martial arts team enthusiastically attracted spectators.
Xia Lin was a little curious, so Li Qingshan took her to a front row seat to watch.
More and more people gathered together, and the open space was already completely surrounded without any time spent reading.
Li Qingshan stood behind Xia Lin, blocking the crowd of spectators with his body.
Feeling the seemingly non-existent warmth behind him, Xia Lin felt very at ease, a kind of peace of mind that not many guards could give him.
Cymbals!
As soon as the gong sounds, the performance begins.
A big man in a short shirt walked to Taichung carrying a pot of liquor and a torch.
The big man raised his neck and drank a large amount of strong wine, then blew on the torch!
Hooray!
A "fire dragon" flew straight out, and everyone clapped and cheered.
Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!
After spraying fire several times in a row, the big man in a short shirt put the head of the torch in his hand into his mouth.
The onlookers were all sweating for it.
But when he took out the torch head again, the fire had gone out, but his mouth was intact.
Cymbals!
The gong rings twice, it’s time to change the program.
Five people came up from behind the stage, working together to lift a large piece of black and yellow rock.
The tall man in a short shirt lay directly on a long bench, patted his chest and said: "The authentic chest is broken by a big stone. Is there any official who wants to come up and check the stone?"
At this time, Xia Lin turned around and said, "What is stone testing?"
"It's just to see if the stone is complete and hard enough... Generally, someone with real skills would dare to let someone examine the stone... Of course, it doesn't rule out that the person who examines the stone is a trustworthy person." Li Qingshan explained with a smile.
.
Who would have thought that the leader of the martial arts class would hear these words.
The wealthy master smiled and said: "My judge, you are right. Only those with real skills dare to let people test stones... In order to avoid people saying that we are asking for help, you come up to the stage and give us a test."
how?"
Li Qingshan smiled and waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I just explained it to my friends, and I didn't say you were cheating."
"Oops! Let me go up to the stage and give it a try. It doesn't matter if it doesn't break. None of us can break it!"
"Yes, yes! You can help everyone check it out!"
"You have to behave well in front of girls!"
The crowd of onlookers kept making noises, but Li Qingshan was very calm. The method of provoking generals was useless to him, and he was not a pushy person.
"You go up and try it. I want to see how to test stones." Xia Lin's voice was small and timid, like a young girl in love.
"Okay, then you can come up with me." After saying that, Li Qingshan directly pulled Xia Lin onto the stage.
The five boys placed the rocks on the ground and moved out of the way.
After getting on the stage, Li Qingshan stretched out his hand and gently beat the rock. After confirming that it was not broken and then glued back together with special glue, he said: "There is no problem with this rock."
However, his gentle beating behavior could not convince the spectators in the audience.
With such a light stone test, are you afraid that the stone will be broken?
"Brother! Try harder! What can you tell with such little effort?"
"Yes! Yes! Don't worry, if this martial arts team dares to do anything to you, we will be the first to refuse!"
Li Qingshan was a little helpless. He didn't dare to use too much force because he was really afraid of breaking the rock and ruining his business.
"Brother! You smashed it so hard that we still have rocks!" Master Wu Xing knew that the rocks were real, so he started to make noises together.
"Master, I'm afraid of breaking this rock..." As he said that, Li Qingshan directly pulled Xia Lin up and started to go down.
"Hey, hey, hey!" The man in a short shirt who was lying on the bench got up and said, "This little brother, since you can smash this rock, why don't you cooperate with me and break the big rock with your chest?"
Li Qingshan shook his head: "Forget it, forget it."
"Brother, you can't leave now. Once you leave, it really looks like our martial arts practice is committing fraud." The leader of the martial arts practice came forward and bowed, blocking the way of Li Qingshan and Li Qingshan.
At this time, Xia Lin realized that no matter who came to examine the stone, it seemed that no matter what he did, some onlookers would question him.
No wonder he didn't want to come up just now... So, he was willing to do it for me?... Thinking of this, Xia Lin felt a sweet feeling in her heart.
No matter how much the martial arts leader tried to dissuade him, Li Qingshan refused.
In desperation, the head of the house had no choice but to give him some advice. After all, he was also a guest.
After finding two spectators on stage to inspect the stones.
The answers given by the two were consistent with Li Qingshan's.
The onlookers below are the ones who are satisfied.
After all, the two people who came up from behind really did everything they could, punching, kicking, and even hitting one with gravel picked from who knows where.
They were unable to break the rock apart and only scraped a little dust off it.
Soon, the chest-breaking performance officially began.
Several boys lifted the rock to the chest of the big man in a short shirt.
A slender man came on stage holding a sledgehammer, swung the sledgehammer and smashed it towards the rock.
boom!
There was a loud noise, but the rock did not crack.
The tall man in a short shirt underneath blushed and looked a little uncomfortable.
boom!
Another hammer fell!
This time, the rock only lost some corners, but it still didn't break into pieces.
The big man in a short shirt had bulging veins and was holding in his breath.
There was a burst of cheers from the spectators below, and Master Wu Xing walked up to the gate one by one holding an iron plate.
Everyone also knows the rules and pays directly.
No matter how much it is, you have to give money to people who watch them perform. This rule is also respectful.
When the head of the martial arts business came to Li Qingshan, he took out 20 coins and put it into the iron plate, and said softly: "Could it be that the two people on the stage have a grudge? If they hit the corner with two hammers in succession, it would naturally not break.
This rock."
The leader of the martial arts industry was shaken. He looked at the young man wearing a mask in front of him in disbelief and said with a wry smile: "It's the beginning. I can't ruin my job. I can only train him afterwards."
