Out of the dry bay is the national highway, the national highway is built according to the river, this river has a domineering name Wuzhou River. Wu Zhouchuan got its name from a generation of empress Wu Zetian, the empress ascended the throne, the whole country built Buddhist temples, along the two banks of the Wuzhou River there are many grottoes Buddha statues in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the empress ordered to dig a new cave here, and personally came to supervise, once it rained, saw the river on the other side of the grotto flow turbulently, quite majestic, so named Wu Zhouchuan, but the common people of the dry bay used to call him Dahewan.

Jiang Er's childhood in Dahewan, the river water is quite clean, there are many small fish and tadpoles, and the second boss and daughter-in-law of the village will also take their own bedding to Dahewan to wash. Somewhere in the bend of the river would always wash out a large wide beach, not deep or shallow, just reaching the waist of a teenager. This stretch of river beach has become a children's playground in summer, and the children in the north are all landlubbers, among which there are many that do not need to learn the nature of water, such as the sea, Erhai and Jiangping, which often plunge to the bottom of the water and can hold their breath for a minute. But there are times of bad luck.

In the summer of that year, the teenage Erhai followed his friends to the river bay to play, showing off his diving skills, but a fierce man plunged to the bottom of the water, and there was a splash and blisters at that time, and the friends next to him were still shouting good, Guo Yufen, who was eighteen or nineteen in the upper reaches of the river, washed his clothes in the place where there was a big bluestone slab, and also paid attention to the children in the village playing in the water。

Guo Yufen'er picked up Erhai and dragged it to the river beach, surrounded by a group of ignorant babies, Yufen'er shouted for help, and the shouting across the national highway could not spread far, so she could only call the children around her to go back to the village to call people, and she kept beating Erhai, hoping that Erhai could wake up in pain, looking at Erhai's face becoming more and more purple, panicked, thinking about the first aid knowledge occasionally introduced on the radio, she began to squeeze Erhai's chest and abdominal cavity, and made a few artificial respirations, which really worked, and after a while Erhai choked out a big mouthful of water, and after waiting for a while, Erhai's hands and feet began to beat indiscriminately, and his mouth was frightened and shouted, and one hand grabbed Guo Yufen's chest, Holding hard, Guo Yufen at the moment was nervous and surprised, and she didn't care about being attacked by Erhai, the girl of eighteen or nineteen was plump, until Erhai completely woke up, and the hand was not let go.

Guo Wangcai was alive that year, Erhai Niang's legs were weak and couldn't run, so Wangcai came by himself, carried Erhai home, and beat him up at night, so that Erhai had a better memory, and the next day he gave Guo Shugen half a bag of noodles, thanking Guo Yufener for saving his life.

Erhai, who was beaten with a stick, didn't cry, Erhai Niang once thought that she was stupid by Wangcai, and complained that Wangcai didn't take it seriously, but in fact, Erhai, who was in adolescence, was full of things about holding Guo Yufen's chest, and the words in the mouths of the children in the village: "Sister Yufen kisses you, Sister Yufen kisses you!"

Since then, how many dreams of Erhai have been related to Guo Yufen, even if Guo Yufen is married to Li Qiang, he still has the psychology of spying on Guo Yufen. In fact, Erhai's "love" for Guo Yufen'er is a kind of "perverted" gratitude, thinking that only by marrying Guo Yufen can he be worthy of Guo Yufen's life-saving grace to him, and that kind of distortion in his heart gradually made him lose his way, and he couldn't distinguish what love was, what impulsive, and what was grateful. Li Qiang left, Guo Yufen moved out of the main hall, Erhai, who was in his early twenties, often thought absurdly that he would climb into Guo Yufen's widow's house in the middle of the night to "warm and care" Yufen'er, until Guo Yufen'er stabbed the thief's waist with scissors, and Erhai's idea stopped.

For Jiang Er, Erhai has a very grudge, and the things he dreamed of were taken first by Jiang Er, and he also broke off his "brotherly" love for Jiang for more than 20 years, so that he didn't say a word when he saw Jiang Er in the future. Listening to the sea coming back from Yunshan County, bringing the news that Jiang Er had found his old friend, Erhai told Guo Yufener for the first time, looking forward to Guo Yufen'er's ingratitude, and he was also comforting him, so as to contact his feelings, but Guo Yufen was really indifferent to Erhai's news, which made Erhai feel unhappy or worried, happy that Guo Yufen had no feelings for Jiang Er, and worried that he had no reason to comfort Yufener.

Coming out of Guo Yufen's yard, Erhai began to wander around the village, not knowing where to go, he knew that Dagang must have said to his mother when he went home, and when he went back, his mother would definitely not beat himself, but crying and wiping his tears must be indispensable, and he was most afraid of his mother crying, his mother was warm-hearted and good to everyone, but if his mother cried, the surrounding neighbors would be enthusiastic about his mother, and he would be tempted to stir up feelings.

I couldn't go home for dinner, so I mixed it up and went straight back to the repair shop.

The weather is getting colder, Jiang Er's business is also very cold, he has been doing business for more than a month, and he has only received two orders, one to name the child, and the other to marry a daughter-in-law. It didn't add up to fifty yuan, but fortunately, he had a few extra money in his hand, so that Dalin Erlin would not go hungry. At the beginning of the little four eyes, the freshness ran to himself every day, thinking about whether he could talk to Jiang Er about the rivers and lakes, but later he saw that there was no hope, and he came less, and when he started to find a tile craftsman's livelihood, the project was finished in less than a month, so he had to leave his luggage here with Jiang Er, and returned to the mouth. Jiang Er was also very idle all day, and in the afternoon, knowing that he had no livelihood, he took Dalin Erlin to the video hall to watch the video. I was also thinking about whether I should find a master with a head and face by myself, set up a game, and build a reputation.

I went back to the pager of the sea today, and I knew in my heart that it would definitely be no good for my uncle to find me, but my benevolent heart couldn't wipe off my face, and I asked myself for help, and I could help or help, but I thought about my own mess, and helping my uncle was also a dog tearing sheepskin, and he had nothing to do.

The owner of the video hall is a young student, people call him Sanmaozi, and Jiang Er also calls him so. People are less than 30, and they have been in the society for a few days, running through big cars, walking long distances, and then they are too tired, so they opened a video hall that can accommodate more than 20 people.

Jiang Er took the two brothers to patronize every other day, Sanmaozi heard Xiao Siyan say that this person was a friend of the third master, and his heart was also extraordinarily attentive, every time Jiang Er came, he greeted warmly, melon seeds and tea were served, and the seat he sat on was also the front, not crowded terrain. Every time Jiang Er got tired of watching, the two of them always chatted outside the door.

"Sanmao, do we have that kind of person with a special reputation in Sandaopo? Gang has been coming to Sandaopo for more than a month, do you have to pay a visit, and people in the province will come to find out in the future that they will not give face to others!"

Sanmao smiled: "You can pull it down, before the second gang came, Ne was the most famous in Sandaopo, and you were the most famous when the second gang came!"

Jiang Er laughed when he heard this: "Sanmao will make fun of you Ergang." ”

Sanmao said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, let's go east on the three slopes, go east on the highway, deserted, north and south are either mountains or trees, there are two forks in the road, the most lively place, is the video hall, where to find the big guys? ”

Jiang Er made sense when he heard it: "Are there many big people in Yunshan County?"

Sanmao listened, Xingtou also came, said that Ergang would wait for the meeting, go to pour tea by himself, and chatter, and after a while, he carried a small aluminum teapot and two tempered cups, put them on the small round stool at the door, poured tea and chatted with Jiang Er.

Yunshan County said that it was not big, it was not small, Sanmaozi Baidao didn't know, and the underworld inquired around, saying that he was also a "big man" from hearsay

Qiao Sanchun's story, Jiang Er had never heard of it before, and this was the first time he heard it from Sanmaozi's mouth, and Jiang Er was also embarrassed when he heard the "heroic deeds" of the third master when he dominated one side, especially when it came to the three major Taibao under the third master, Gu Dalei, Sun Erlong, and Zhai Sanhu, all of whom were not destined for life, especially Sun Erlong, how many people's hamstrings he picked, how many people's arms he unloaded, and Jiang Er was also in a cold sweat on his neck, thinking that Erxiu followed such a master, and whether the days were difficult.

After talking about Qiao Sanchun, Sanmao talked about another person: Chang Abacus.

More than 10 years ago, a fortune teller came from Hebei, claiming to be a constant abacus, and set up a fortune-telling stall in Beizhuangzi Street, Yunshan County, three trigrams a day, but the rules were very strange, no money, but the first person to calculate, to ask for a tael of salt. The second person calculated, and asked for two taels of peppercorns. The third person, if counted, must be a leg of mutton, and it must also be a leg that sits back on the hip. It is also strange to often calculate hexagrams, and unlike others, other people are pinching their fingers and opening their mouths. Chang abacus is not, you have to tell people what you want to ask first, and then tell people about your birthday, often abacus began to take out a small abacus, crackling and beating, less than a minute, take out a book, full of words and sentences to let you see, the words written in the book, the front is what you have experienced in life, and the back is what you want to ask, the life experience written in front of the book is not bad at all with your personal experience. The person who asked the hexagram also believed it, which was quite amazing.

At the beginning, people looked strange, but the calculation was less, even if it was counted, it was only the first two people who counted, to the price of the leg of mutton, no one cared, put it for ten days, even if it was two hexagrams every day, but ten days later, it was amazing, the people who came back were the first few days to calculate one or two hexagrams, chanting that the abacus is a fairy, helping themselves to avoid the murder and avoid the disaster, and then in the following days, North Zhuangzi Street can see a strange scene every day, a large row of people carrying a leg of mutton lined up to tell fortunes, but the abacus is still the same as in the past, only three trigrams a day, and then carried a leg of mutton away。

There is a queue that did not count the hexagram, do not give up, carry the leg of mutton and follow the abacus, want to follow the home and then count, but the abacus went directly to Beizhuang Temple, and a sloppy Taoist who lived in the view boiled the leg of mutton, no matter how you beg, people just don't count.

This situation has lasted for several months, and as a result, a Du Manatee who raised sheep and sold sheep became a 10,000-yuan household, and then Chang Abacus's stall was smashed by Qiao Sanchun, not because it was not accurate, but because it was too accurate, although Qiao Sanchun smashed Chang Abacus's stall, but also took in Chang Abacus's people, and from then on, Chang Abacus also became the master of the third master.

Jiang Er listened to this story, and also felt novel, thinking that he would be able to meet the master of Chang Abacus in the future, and he must follow and learn.
