Happy Little Scholar

"Grandpa Sun?"

Hearing the girl's address, she seemed to be familiar with the old man. Tianlai Xiaoshuo

However, the old man's storytelling skills may be very powerful, but the story itself is really not attractive to him. Li Yi looked at the girl and said, "The girl is young and has heard a few stories..."

Scholars are dedicated to poetry and imperial examinations. Although novels and stories, legends and legends exist in this world, they are "evil ways" in their eyes and are far from prosperous. They can fool a large group of people by making up a few ghost stories. The little girl is at most 28 years old and has not heard a few stories. It is very likely that she will be fooled by what the old man said.

"I am sixteen years old this year!" The girl looked at him unconvinced and said.

Of course she was unconvinced. The young man opposite was at most two or three years older than her. Even if he was a scholar, she grew up in a brothel and listened to storytellers telling stories since she was a child. I don't know how many stories she has heard over the years. When Li Yi said in a childish tone, "You are young and have heard a few stories...", how could she be convinced?

She has been trained as an actress since she was young. She has been listening to the stories for a long time and is familiar with the routines. Even if she is asked to speak the first part now, there is no problem.

Li Yi saw the stubborn face of the little girl and felt a little amused. He took a sip of tea and asked, "What stories have you heard?"

"Many!" The girl curled her lips and talked a lot like offering treasures.

Li Yi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the little girl had heard so many stories.

In order to kill time, he sometimes bought some popular strange stories, novels and legends on the market, but after reading them several times, he found that the content was boring and the imagination was extremely lacking. It was better to find books in the library.

Of course, it might be because he came from the 21st century and had much more experience than the ancients here. The library was never short of these. The stories circulating in the market were already novel enough for the people here.

Among the ones the girl just said, many were low-quality novels he had seen on the stalls in the market before, and some he had never heard of, but this was not surprising.

This world, which is similar to a parallel space, has not changed much in its historical trajectory before the Tang Dynasty, but the details are very different. Some famous figures have never existed, such as Li Bai and Du Fu, and many unfamiliar names have emerged. As for literary works, of course, they are different.

The little girl's tone is not convinced, but also boastful and contemptuous. However, if she is in front of a scholar who only knows how to study hard, she does have the capital to be proud.

Looking at the smug expression on the girl's face, Li Yi smiled and looked at her and asked: "The little girl has heard a lot of stories..."

"Of course!" The expression on the girl's face became more proud, but it froze on her face after a moment.

"Have you heard of "The Legend of the White Snake"?" Li Yi looked at her and asked with a smile.

"White, White Snake... Legend?" The girl was slightly stunned and shook her head gently.

"What about "Journey to the West"?"

"..."

"A Chinese Ghost Story, "Painted Skin"?"

"..."

The girl shook her head and began to doubt her life.

She thought she was very familiar with the popular stories and scripts, but she had never heard of any of what Li Yi said just now.

She did not doubt that these were made up by Li Yi to deceive her. Just by hearing the name, she knew that this should be a story she had never heard of.

"What is "Painted Skin"? I have never heard of it..." The girl rolled her eyes and blinked her big eyes at Li Yi and asked.

Their lives are not easy now. Whether it is storytelling or acting, they are all old-fashioned stories and scripts. They lack novelty and can attract fewer and fewer spectators. They are in urgent need of new stories or scripts to attract more guests. Otherwise, they are afraid that even the most basic life will be difficult to maintain.

However, good stories and scripts are often sold at very high prices. They can't afford those talented people who write stories and scripts. Just now, when she heard those unheard-of stories from Li Yi, the girl couldn't help but think of him.

Li Yi said a lot just now, and the girl only remembered the last two, "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Painted Skin". Ghosts and the like sounded a bit scary. She was most afraid of listening to ghost stories. The girl considered it in her heart and chose another one.

Li Yi took another sip of tea, without any intention of telling a story.

Every time he told a story, it was like a 3D movie in front of him, with a very strong sense of picture. Last time he wanted to tell a ghost story to scare Liu Ruyi, but ended up scaring himself. He would not make a fool of himself again.

Seeing Li Yi's indifferent expression, he seemed unwilling to tell a story. The girl bit her lip, as if she had made a difficult decision.

She took out a folded handkerchief from her arms and put it on the table in front of her.

Li Yi looked at the bulge in the handkerchief, wondering what the little girl wanted to do. The next moment, she opened the folded handkerchief and said reluctantly: "This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Sister Ruoqing. It's delicious. Tell me a story and I'll treat you to this, okay?"

Looking at the faintly fragrant cakes on the table, Li Yi couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

It was like the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Ruoqing... It really tasted nostalgic!

…………

"Deal!"

Li Yi pinched a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth. The osmanthus cake in this season should be made from dried osmanthus and ground into powder. Although the taste is not as good as when the osmanthus is in bloom, it is not much different.

The girl didn't know that she accidentally came up with a temptation that Li Yi couldn't refuse. Seeing that he was willing to tell a story, a smile broke out on her pretty face, and she hurriedly did it properly, thinking that he would tell it later. During the meal, be sure to secretly write down the story and tell it to Grandpa Sun later, so that there will be new stories to attract guests.

Painted Skin is a very classic story in Liaozhai. There have been many changes in modern movies and TV series, adding some romance, love, grudges, and entanglements. I don’t know what the adaptation will look like. Li Yi can’t find these scripts in the library. , can only tell Pu Songling’s original story.

Liaozhai was so popular in ancient times, and in this similar world, the effect should not be bad.

It's also great for scaring people.

Li Yi looked at the girl's excited expression, and couldn't help but feel some bad taste in his heart.

"A long time ago, there was a scholar named Wang Sheng in Qing'an Prefecture. When he went out in the morning, he met a beautiful woman who was walking hard with a baggage on her back. Wang Sheng was surprised that a weak woman was rushing on her way before dawn. , maybe there was something difficult, so I hurriedly followed..."

There was an expression of interest on the girl's face, "It turns out to be a story about a talented man and a beautiful lady. It sounds pretty good..."
