For the next few days.
All the officials were busy preparing for the locusts.
There were even rumors in Chang 'an City from time to time.
The so-called guidance from a master was a punishment from God. It was a supreme auspicious sign given by God out of pity for the Tang Dynasty.
But the people didn't understand.
It had eaten up all the food and even the wild vegetables that everyone liked to eat. How could this thing be auspicious?
It was as wide as a yaksha. How could this be called auspicious?
The people were puzzled.
But at this moment.
If you said so, there would definitely be people pointing at your nose and scolding you for being ignorant.
Why?
Because this news came from the inside of the palace!
His Majesty had already said that this thing was an auspicious sign. How could you say that it was a pest with a snap of your fingers? Are you tired of living?
Such things kept happening in Chang 'an City.
As the matter was fermenting.
The news of the mysterious Bone Strengthening Powder had also spread out.
It was even more bizarre.
In a teahouse.
The storyteller came early in the morning, which was rare.
The locusts were all over the sky. Basically, no one could do anything. If they stayed at home, they would get sick. It was also unbearable to stay with their wives every day.
Fortunately, now everyone had a little money left in their pockets. So, this cheap and affordable teahouse became the best place for people to escape the summer heat and find work.
The teahouse, which usually had a bleak business, now became the most popular place in Chang 'an City.
"Bang!"
When the storyteller, Blind Wang, slapped the tea table hard, the noisy teahouse instantly quieted down.
Blind Wang was not in a hurry.
He slowly pulled out the folding fan from the back of his head and slowly fanned himself. Then, he said, "Dear fellow villagers, today, Blind Wang will talk about something different! Otherwise, if you've already vomited after hearing about other things, I would've f * cking vomited as well! "
"Hahaha!"
The people burst into laughter and were instantly interested.
"Blind Wang, what are you going to talk about today?"
"Are you talking about what happened last night with Widow Sun from Happy Village in the east of the city? Or were you chased out by some customer who found out you stole books? "
"Ahahaha!"
The laughter of the crowd did not make Blind Wang jump up and down.
The people of Chang 'an had three good things.
The first was to squat in Swallow Descent Brothel to see the real courtesan.
The second was to stroll along the newly built river and stroll around the Eastern and Western Markets with his hands behind his back.
However, at this juncture, these two things could not be done.
Swallow Descent Restaurant's doors were locked tightly, afraid that the lecher would not be able to hold himself back and barge in. As for the riverside, the Eastern and Western Markets had become the breeding grounds of the locusts. That fellow, with a single stomp, you could crush several locusts. Who would dare to go out?
What about the third one?
Naturally, it was because of Blind Wang.
But it was very rare.
This time, Blind Wang acted as if he didn't hear the teasing of the crowd. He continued to wave the thick, sticky fan with a smile on his face. Even the words on the paper could not be seen.
It was as if he had the pearl of wisdom in his hands.
"Aiyaya!"
"Old Man is reading a sage's book. How can a scholar like me do such a dirty thing?"
"Today, Old Man is going to talk about the auspicious signs flying in the sky!"
"Nonsense!"
When the crowd heard this, they could not help but roll their eyes. It was this old thing again.
Blind Wang said slowly, "Last night, I don't know how many of you have heard of the Bone Strengthening Powder?"
"Bone Strengthening Powder?"
"What is that?"
"I seem to have eavesdropped on the boss saying something. It seems that this thing is something extraordinary!"
"Yes!"
"This master is right!"
Blind Wang suddenly slapped his fan on the palm of his hand and said, "This Bone-Strengthening Powder is indeed a wonderful thing!"
"Last night, outside Taichang Temple, I heard a woman talking about this thing. That woman seemed to be the wife of one of the lords in Taichang Temple. That woman seemed to be asking for the Bone Strengthening Powder from her old father!"
"I've heard of it! As long as you drink a bowl of the Bone Strengthening Powder, even though it is only the size of a teacup, it is worth a big bowl of mutton soup! "
"What?"
"This, this is so magical?"
"Blind Wang, you're not fooling people, are you? How can there be such a thing in this world? "
Blind Wang shook his head mysteriously.
When the crowd was almost finished, he continued, "Not only that, Old Man also heard that this thing can strengthen the bones. Although it is not the thing that can rejuvenate one's youth, the old man in his seventies or eighties only needs to drink this thing for three days to straighten his back in an instant. Moreover, he can carry a bucket of water with one hand and walk for ten miles without blushing or panting!"
Hiss —!
Everyone heard this.
They could not help but gasp.
"Impossible!"
"Blind Wang, maybe you're fooling people again!"
"F * ck your grandma! If this thing is really so awesome, why haven't we heard of it? "
Everyone was furious.
However, Blind Wang only moved his lips slightly.
"This thing fell from heaven when Master Yuan Tiangang prayed to heaven on the birthday of the Retired Emperor last time. Moreover, the Emperor and the Retired Emperor personally tried it. All the ministers in the court have tried it. Do you think that the Emperor is fooling you?"
"This …"
