Chapter 219: Brother Hand
The fellow stuffed the money into his pocket and asked strangely, "You two came here early in the morning, do you know what you are doing here?"
"The two of us are going to go out of the city to visit relatives in the countryside, and we only came here to see that there is light here, aren't you stopping us?" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile.
"Haha, that's too!" the fellow said embarrassedly, rolling up his sleeves, "You really want to know?"
"I really want to know. Wang Laosan and Zhong Yuemin said in unison.
"Okay, I'll tell you about it!" the fellow snorted, and pointed forward with his sleeves ringed, "This place was a ghost market when it was Qing Dynasty ago, and at that time, it was a few Eight Banners who couldn't live their lives and came out to sell clothes and furniture." ”
"Then why do you want to come out in the middle of the night to sell?" Wang Laosan interjected and asked.
The fellow said with contempt: "Those individuals are all the princes of the former Qing Dynasty, Beile, who have been reduced to stalls on the street, if they meet acquaintances, it will not be a shame!
Zhong Yuemin had only heard of the "ghost market" of Daliushu and Panjiayuan, but he didn't expect that this place was also a "ghost market" before.
"Those are all before the liberation, those old and young relics of the former Qing Dynasty can't still be working now, right?"
"Can't that be! Don't you live so long to become a goblin?" the fellow said: "Since five years, this ghost market has been dispersed, and the public does not allow private people to set up stalls to sell things." ”
Wang Laosan asked, "Then why did you start setting up stalls again?"
"It's not for the poor, the production team can't get a few dollars all year round, so the big guys have to secretly take out what they grow in their own fields and sell it. The fellow explained.
Zhong Yuemin said: "It's the same in the place where we cut the queue, and the people are all smuggling the vegetables they grow to the city to sell. ”
"Yes, it's all the same!" the fellow nodded and said, "We are not allowed to do business here, and the villagers are afraid of being caught and parade the streets, so they hide everywhere." Later, I don't know who started it, they all ran here to start a ghost market business, and the people from the city management committee couldn't get up so early!"
The fellow snickered as he spoke, feeling like he had won the battle.
"It's all about selling vegetables and eggs here?" Zhong Yuemin was a little disappointed, he couldn't get up so early in the morning when he visited the farmers' market!
"It's been half a year since this place started, and now there are all kinds of things in it, and the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the city are here. The fellow whispered: "If you want to go play, you can pay attention!"
Wang Laosan looked at the place where the figure was swaying, and said timidly: "Yuemin, it looks scary, shall we still go?"
"Go!" Zhong Yuemin was very happy, if this place wasn't scary, he didn't want to come!
"Why don't we call the two of us together another day?" Wang Laosan slipped back on the ground.
Zhong Yuemin pulled him forward, "You are so big and white, just the two of us, it's good not to trouble them!"
"But I can't fight! I'm afraid of pain!" Wang Laosan is still empty.
"Then do you still want to help your partner?Do you want your object to worship you?" Zhong Yuemin asked, "If you don't want to, then let's go back, I still want to go home and sleep early!"
"Don't!" Zhong Yuemin retreated, Wang Laosan was anxious, "Go, can't you go?"
Zhong Yuemin still maintained the posture of walking back, "Aren't you afraid?"
Wang Laosan hesitated, "I'm afraid of ······"
"You coward!" Zhong Yuemin pointed at Wang Laosan, hating iron and not steel.
"I can't control myself!" Wang Laosan cried mournfully, "My legs and stomach are trembling!"
Zhong Yuemin was so angry that he didn't know what to say, "I'll teach you, you are like this!" Raise your head and chest, keep your face straight, bite your tongue, don't speak, your eyes are wide, no matter who you look at, you hear it?"
Wang Laosan did what Zhong Yuemin said one by one, and he was indeed no longer naïve.
Zhong Yuemin nodded with satisfaction, Wang Laosan was not good-looking, and he had a straight face and staring eyes, and he did have a fierce and vicious look.
But within half a minute of satisfaction, Wang Laosan was deflated, and he became a stupid son of the landlord's family.
"What's going on?" Zhong Yuemin scolded, "You can't hold on for a while?"
Wang Laosan said aggrievedly: "My tongue hurts!"
"Why does your tongue hurt?"
"Didn't you make me bite my tongue?"
Zhong Yuemin patted his head with a headache, "I asked you to bite your tongue so that you wouldn't be able to smirk at every turn, why do you want it to die?"
"You didn't say it!" Wang Laosan was about to cry, and kept spitting blood foam outside, and Yazhen bit her tongue out.
······
Zhong Yuemin finally asked Wang Laosan to settle his expression, at least he didn't look like he was being bullied so easily.
The two walked along the road, there were more and more people, all of them were tightly wrapped, and they couldn't see their expressions clearly.
A few villagers who were carrying a basket with chickens in their arms and wandering around came forward from time to time to ask, do you want old hens, do you want eggs, do you want yams?
Those who set up stalls on the ground all lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, taking care of their own things, and did not shout when they saw people coming.
The stalls are full of small objects, old books, inkstones, and some small ornaments of porcelain pottery, Zhong Yuemin can see that most of these things are worthless things.
The two of them wandered around for a long time, and there was no stall owner to talk.
Zhong Yuemin saw that there were some jade pieces on a stall, so he stopped, ready to take a look, the stall owner glanced at him and Wang Laosan, and said: "Small book trading, don't buy it, don't touch it." ”
"Hey, how do you know we don't buy it?" asked Zhong Yuemin.
The seller looked at him, "You've been hanging around for a long time, I don't think you are buying things, but looking for someone?"
Zhong Yuemin thought badly, and was seen through by others, so he said quietly: "Then what do we say when we buy things? What do we say when we find someone?"
"Shop something, feel free to look at it. The stall owner said, "Find someone, don't open your mouth, don't know anything." ”
Zhong Yuemin smiled, stood up, and asked Wang Laosan: "Who did the fat man ask you to find?"
Wang Laosan shook his head.
"Now you can speak. Zhong Yuemin said helplessly.
Wang Laosan gasped, "Suffocate me!"
"What did you do with your nose?"
"I forgot that my nose can pant for breath!" Wang Laosan touched his nose and said in surprise.
Zhong Yuemin rolled his eyes in anger, but the stall owner snorted and was amused by Wang Laosan.
"You're a big man, you're pretty funny!" the stall owner still had a smile on his face, "Who are you looking for? I'm in a good mood today, I'll make an exception for you!"
Wang Laosan looked at Zhong Yuemin and didn't speak.
Zhong Yuemin was inexplicable, "Talk, why are you looking at me?"
"Can you say that?" Wang Laosan was cautious now.
"Speak!" Zhong Yuemin really didn't want to say more.
"Oh!" Wang Laosan replied and said to the stall owner, "I'm looking for the third master." ”
"Which third master?" the stall owner asked casually, but Zhong Yuemin clearly noticed the contraction of his pupils for a moment.
Obviously, they found the right person, and this stall owner knew the person "Third Master".
"You're also tempted, we're here to ship, not to seek revenge. Zhong Yuemin directly made it clear.
The stall owner sneered: "Even if you really come to seek revenge, it doesn't matter! It's just that you red-mouthed and white-toothed people want to see the third master, I'm afraid it's a dream!"
Zhong Yuemin glanced at the stall owner, stretched out his hand to Wang Laosan and said, "Take it out." ”
"What to take?" Wang Laosan said inexplicably.
"What do you say?" Zhong Yuemin turned his head and looked at Wang Laosan in disbelief, "Take out the things in your arms!"
"Oh, I'll take it!" Wang Laosan smirked, "I forgot again." ”
"Can you forget to eat?" Zhong Yuemin took the thing and asked.
Unexpectedly, Wang Laosan really thought about it seriously, "I can't forget it, I forgot to eat and I was hungry." ”
Zhong Yuemin didn't pay attention to him, he really didn't have the strength.
Zhong Yuemin opened the small bag, revealing a corner of the jade plaque and showing it to the stall owner.
The stall owner's eyes flashed, and he reached out to take it, Zhong Yuemin took it back, and wrapped the thing slowly, "I've seen the thing, you should always show the way." ”
The stall owner looked at the things in Zhong Yuemin's hand, his eyes were lifted, and he completely lost his previous style of ignoring them.
Zhong Yuemin is sure that the things in his hands are definitely not simple, and what can be hidden by Wang Laosan and his father is definitely not a fake.
"Go out and watch for me. The stall owner said hello to the stall next door, and then took Zhong Yuemin and Wang Laosan to the alley behind the street.
The stall owner didn't say a word all the way, and drilled into the alley vigorously, turning left and right, which was basically where to go in the middle of nowhere, and where to drill in the dark.
Zhong Yuemin followed behind for seven or eight minutes, feeling that something was wrong, and pulled Wang Laosan to stop at the mouth of an alley, "Where do you want to take us?"
"Go forward, if you don't have the courage to go back, I won't stop you!" The stall owner is quite horizontal, and he is not afraid that Zhong Yuemin will leave.
Zhong Yuemin felt that the stall owner was unreasonable, "In this case, we will come again next time." ”
"Third child, let's go home. Zhong Yuemin glanced at Wang Laosan, and was still a little worried about whether Wang Laosan understood.
Wang Laosan yawned, "Go back, I've stayed up for half the night, and I'm sleepy." ”
Zhong Yuemin glanced at Wang Laosan appreciatively, thinking that this kid not only understood this time, but also acted quite like it.
Unexpectedly, Wang Laosan was really drooping his eyelids, he was really sleepy. No matter what, Zhong Yuemin pulled Wang Laosan and was about to go back.
Seeing that they were really leaving, the stall owner was a little anxious, and walked back to persuade: "Two little brothers, the third master is in front, and he will be there in a while." ”
"You also said it for a while just now, but we walked for about ten minutes, and now you talk for a while, do the devil know if it came to dawn?" Zhong Yuemin walked back slowly, while questioning the stall owner.
"It's really a while, and the first place to turn a corner in front is, we've all gone so far, it's not a little bit of a road!"
Zhong Yuemin still ignored it, "Who the knows if you have someone in ambush over there? When the time comes, we will be outnumbered, won't you rob things?"
"Don't you dare to do that!" the stall owner was anxious, "There are rules in every industry, we are in this business to make money, if we rob money and kidnap tickets, then we can't mix in this business." ”
"How can I trust you when you are so condescending?" Zhong Yuemin stopped and asked with his arms crossed.
The stall owner was in a dilemma, and walked back and forth, as if he was ruthless, "No matter what the object, as long as it passes through my hands, I can distinguish the real from the fake, everyone respects me as a brother, and I am also famous and famous on the street, if you are deceived by me, you can find me, no one knows me!"
Zhong Yuemin believed it for seven or eight points, but there was still no reaction on his face, "Then what is your relationship with the third master, why can you take us to find him?"
"The third master is my uncle, of course I know where he is?"
"Okay, it sounds like that, you lead the way in front!" Zhong Yuemin saw that the sky was all white, and he didn't ink with him.
The more the three of them walked back.
Wang Laosan was confused all the way, but at this time, the situation came over, and he whispered in Zhong Yuemin's ear: "Yuemin, I don't even believe what this guy said, why do you believe it?"
Zhong Yuemin smiled, but replied in a normal voice: "What are you afraid of, if you really lie to us, you will stare at him for a while and beat him to death!"
"Alas, don't worry, I will!" Wang Laosan said, gesturing to the stall owner's brother.
The hand brother who walked in front heard their conversation and almost fell and ate, so he didn't agree to stabilize his legs.
······
This time, Brother Hand really didn't tell a lie, and after walking for less than two minutes, he took Zhong Yuemin and Wang Laosan into a large miscellaneous courtyard, walked around, and stopped in front of a house in the backyard.
"Third master, third master, I'm a little hand!
It took a long time for a cough to come from the room, followed by the sound of getting up, "Little hands, what's the matter?"
"The fat man introduced someone to come over and ask for something, I see it's a serious thing, can you open the door and see you?" Brother Hand replied politely.
There was silence for a while, then there was the sound of getting dressed and putting on shoes, and after a while, the lights were lit.
Zhong Yuemin and the others waited patiently and listened to the voice, the person inside should be an old man, and his hands and feet were not so fast in winter.
The door was opened, and inside was a lean old man, wearing a cotton jacket and hooking his back, and let a few people into the house.
The old man closed the door, "I don't know which one is the friend of the fat man?"
Zhong Yuemin and Wang Laosan were stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Brother Hand explained: "Fat Master Qian and our old man are old acquaintances, just because Fat Master Qian introduced me, I brought you here, otherwise you won't even be able to enter the door." ”
Only then did Zhong Yuemin understand that he dared to love the fat man with such a big face, and he could still be respected as the fat man of the money.
"Both of us are friends of the fat man, and he introduced us to the third master. Zhong Yuemin said.
"Since both of them are friends of the fat man, then we are our own family. The third master sat down, and looked at Zhong Yuemin and Wang Laosan with the kerosene lamp.
It's nothing to look at Wang Laosan, but here in Zhong Yuemin, the third master keeps looking.
"Is your surname Zhong?" asked the third master cautiously.
"yes. Zhong Yuemin didn't know why, "My name is Zhong Yuemin." ”
The third master's eyes widened suddenly, and his lips trembled, "You ······"
