The pawnshop owner happily took the jade room and paper to the back room. When he came out again, he looked radiant again. He put his steamed bun-like fist to his mouth and coughed heavily, "Well, actually, I
Originally a resident of Penglai Island."
In the small pawn shop, four jaw-dropping sounds sounded like "哐哐哐哐"!
I dug my ears hard and couldn't believe it at all: "You, you, you are a resident of Penglai Island? But...but..."
Is this a lie? This guy is actually a resident of Penglai Island! Mamma Mia! I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!
"Little girl, do you know Penglai Island?"[
"Yes. There are detailed records in our... family's classics."
The pawnshop owner's eyes lit up instantly, and he shook his body with excitement. He almost ran over to me and called me brother-in-law: "You must be curious about why I look like this, right?"
I nodded vigorously.
I am really curious! It is clearly recorded in the classics that all the people on Penglai Island are handsome men and pretty women. Sure enough... can books also be deceiving? Han...
"This is a long story." The pawnshop owner took a big sip of tea and said, "Originally, Penglai Island never contacted outsiders. Thousands of years ago, there was a huge storm on the sea.
The wind and waves brought a Central Plains man to the island. He brought milling, weaving, pottery, and papermaking.
Brewing and other crafts have also brought the enviable Han civilization. However, these have become legends. Penglai Island has lost contact with the outside world for many years due to some reasons. So, when one day, a man was accidentally swept to Penglai by the wind and waves.
When the Central Plains people from the island were leaving, I followed them
The boat came out. Unexpectedly, after I made money, learned about Han culture, and bought a boat to go back, I encountered a strong wind and wave that could not be overcome, so I had to retreat to this small town and wait for the weather to be better. But then
, no matter how big a boat I buy, no matter how good the weather is when I set out, I will always be blown away by the wind.
The waves blocked the way. Until I ran out of money, I had to settle down in this small town and open this small pawn shop. The life here was too comfortable, so I became what I am today... I just didn’t expect it.
I never thought that I would be able to see Yu Ruyi in my hometown in my lifetime..."
After the pawnshop owner finished speaking, he wiped his eyes and started crying again...
Half an hour later, the pawnshop owner's mood finally stabilized. His eyes were watery, and he looked at me sincerely, as if he wanted to defend something, and said loudly: "Little girl, the residents of Penglai Island are really the same as those in the classics."
