With the steep slope and its own gravity, the car slid faster and faster, and after a while, it came to the door of "Shengli Metal Products Factory". This yard used to be often lifeless, and only piles of scrap copper and rotten iron could be seen, and they were piled higher and higher. It may be that the consumption in the factory, or rather the use, is far less than the supply, and it gives the impression that it is a scrap yard. Looking at it now, the factory is a busy scene, and a factory shed has been erected in the yard, and the smoke is filled. The sound of machinery running that we had never heard before "rumbled", and the number of workers in the factory increased, all wearing the same work clothes, shuttling back and forth, and they were all busy.

As soon as the car passed the door of the metal products, a chicken ran out of an alley next to the factory, which was the old yellow chicken that Lao Ju often led out. The old hen flapped her wings, like flying and running, and kept "quacking" in horror. It happened that there was a slope in front of the alley, and the old hen spread her wings and flew down from it, landed on the road, and turned her head upwards and kept "quacking". Then a big dog ran out, a rare big wolf dog on the street, with yellow hair and a gray-black back. The big wolf dog didn't seem to have any malice, neither barked nor roared, but poked his head out on the slope, and looked down curiously at the old hen barking below, as if wondering why another yellow-haired shape made such a sound. Maybe dogs or other animals rely on the difference in shape to distinguish the difference in the world, and the difference in smell is only used to prove the difference.

"Old black woman, want to eat chicken?" With a shout, Xiao Jiang and Lao Ju ran out of the alley almost at the same time. Xiao Jiang came out to train the dog. The old man came out to see the chickens. Lao Ju seems to be against the season, and when it is cold, he wears his shoulders, but at this time he wears a black cotton jacket. Of course, whether he is shirtless or wearing a padded jacket, he will have a red badge pinned to his chest. Lao Ju came to the mouth of the alley, and saw that his old hen was still crowing, so he pointed to the bottom of the slope and said: "The cow ghost and snake god are in charge, and the chicken flies and the dog jumps." The class was restored, and the earth was shaken. Okay, don't scream, little slut, what are you pretending to be serious?"

"Yes, it's all mothers, what are you afraid of? The old black woman doesn't eat you, the feathered chicken is not delicious!" Xiao Jiang also shouted at the old hen below with a smile.

Xiao Jiang and Lao Ju are neighbors. When we were drinking that afternoon, we talked about the old thing. Xiao Jiang told us that Lao Ju used to work in the textile system, don't look at him now, people are not ghosts, in fact, Lao Ju has also been in the limelight, and he has been the head of the rebels. Lao Ju used to have a beautiful daughter-in-law, and it is said that she was really the aunt of a certain capitalist, but then she disappeared, and it was difficult to decide whether she was alive or dead. The reason why Lao Ju is crazy now is probably related to his wife's lack of whereabouts. Lao Ju now lives with his son, who is about the same age as us, and took over his shift in advance and works as a repairman in a cotton mill. Lao Ju's son is handsome and tall, he must be with his mother, and Lao Ju is very different, he is simply a person in two groups! People who don't know the inside story will not believe that Lao Ju still has such a talented son.

When the old man is not sick, he is the same as a good person, and he is clean and neat. He used to wander around when he was sick, holding a red treasure book and a red badge, and checking the land, rich, anti, bad, and right. Now it may be that his legs and feet are not good, and he will not go far when he is sick, and he leads the old yellow hen he raises around the vicinity of his home, and he also defecates everywhere like a chicken. No matter whether there is someone or not, no matter where he is, he will pee on the street, sometimes he has just finished burying things, if he is just catching up with him, he is suddenly normal again, and he is the same as a good person, and he also scolds other people's pigs and dogs for not being hygienic! As long as he was sick, he would put the old yellow hen in the quilt to sleep, and no matter day or night, he still held the old hen and put it on his lower body••••••

Xiao Jiang didn't jokingly say that he saw it several times with his own eyes, Lao Ju hugged the old yellow hen and put it in front of him, of course, he was wearing pants•••••• while moving, and shouted: "your little wife - your little wife••••••" Seeing Xiao Jiang, he didn't stop, and turned around and asked Xiao Jiang: "Big brother, do you see me doing this?"

Lao Ju must have been deranged at this time and at the same time his sex was also deranged, and he entered a state of extremely high-spirited imagination, a state in which only his solitary body could enjoy alone. It's normal for a patient to behave in any way out of line, because the so-called out of line may be something that outsiders can't understand.

Later, Xiao Jiang and Lao Ju said a few more words, but we didn't hear clearly. It must have been when the old yellow hen suddenly flew onto the road just now, and Lao Li subconsciously clicked on the brakes. Such a quick and almost instinctive reaction is exactly what a good driver must have, and once there is an abnormal situation ahead, the driver's first reaction is to move his foot to the brake pedal. This foot brake slowed the car down a lot. There was a small turn below, or a small slope, and Lao Li had already expected that he would not be able to rush past if the car slowed down, so he had to set it on fire. The car roared, drowning out the voices of the people above.

"What kind of dog did Xiao Jiang lead just now, it's very fierce. "I was talking to myself in the car, and I was asking Changqing.

"German 'blackback', but he's not a purebred!" Changqing immediately blurted out.

"You're also good at dogs?"

"Meaningless, I've seen it a long time ago. ”。

The sun has been rising and shining at least as far as our car has been driving, and although the intensity and luster of the light can change at any time, as long as you are focused on the comfort and comfort of this morning, you will not have time to pay attention to the changes in the sky. This time we went to a big city by the sea to pick up the goods, I have never really seen the sea when I am so old, so I feel a burst of joy in my heart, I must see the sea when I get there. Because of the good weather, as soon as the car left the city, we spread out the tarpaulin, spread cotton coats on top, formed a circle, and began to play poker and gamble to win lunch money. Lao Huang and Lai Zi also came up, in fact, they are also very good at gambling, they never play big, no matter whether they win or lose, as long as they exceed ten yuan, they must be noisy and break up. It's not good to gamble, but sometimes out of love, it can also be used as a card shelf for us. However, he stated in advance that he would return the money in the end if he won it, and whoever lost more would give it to whom, and we would return the money to him in the end. From the perspective of gambling style, Lai Zi and Lao Huang belong to the cautious type, never take risks, Lao Huang thinks he is completely sure, but he also dares to take risks, so every time they play money, they don't win much, but they don't lose much. Changqing is a type of winning in danger, so he always has big ups and downs, sometimes winning more and sometimes losing more. I belong to the type of steady progress, and under normal circumstances, I can only protect my capital, and I don't lose or win.

Our way of playing is called "剋一", four people can play, and five people can also play. When four people play, it is called "three to one", and when five people play, it is called "four to one". In fact, there are some seemingly ordinary cultural phenomena, and when you think about it, you will feel very amazing and incredible! For example, the colloquialisms, slang, ballads, clothing styles that became popular in a certain region for a certain period of time, and some game gameplay and rules, no one can be sure when and how these phenomena became popular, and who invented them? And some of the names of the games and the popular terms are unrecognizable and ambiguous, but everyone can accept them, and they can accept them quickly, and they can understand each other and are very willing to pass it on by word of mouth. Let's take the poker game of "剋一" as an example, you use 剋, knock, pick, 尅, hit, any word to call it accurate, anyway, it is the meaning of several people besieging one person.

The way to play "剋一" is like this: when four people play, each person draws twelve cards, leaving six cards below, the size of the king and 2 are fixed masters, is the tune, the king is the largest, can manage everything, 2 is in addition to the king can manage everything else. Then the player takes turns to ask for a number in order according to the previous hand, the minimum is 60, there is no limit to the number, theoretically it can be up to 100, but to 80 is "double". "Shuang'er" means that the person who loses gives everyone a double share of the money, and everyone who wins gives him a double share of the money. Whoever wants the big number, or whoever wants a number, and no one asks for a bigger number later, he can play the main hand, and he can play alone, and the others become the opposite.

The next step is to play this hand: the player has the right to mix the six cards he keeps with his own cards, and then choose the six cards that have been eliminated after the optimization is made from a new combination, and then select the six cards that have been eliminated after the optimization and buckle them below. He still has twelve cards in his hand, but this hand is very different from the cards he just drawn, he can customize a more suit-based, such as a lot of hearts in his hand, he can customize the hearts as the main one, and the other suits are the deck (in this hand alone). If he still has enough 2 and king in his hand, after deducting six discarded cards, twelve are all cards of one color and 2 and king combination, then this is a good hand, basically can be played, winning.

After the main player deducts the card, the first thing to adjust is the master, generally with 2 and the king such a big key to adjust the master, round by circle to adjust the master. No matter what card he plays, whether it is the king, 2, or the self-determined master, the others play the same card in turn, that is, the lord in his hand, or 2 and the king. 2 also has Ben 2 and the other 2, if this card is set to be the heart of the main, then the 2 of hearts is Ben 2, you can manage the other 2. If the cards played by the main player are managed by another person, for example, he uses the small king to adjust the master to be controlled by other people's kings, and the person in charge will play the cards first. If no one can control the cards played by the main player, he will continue to adjust the master, round by circle, until the master in the hands of the other people is gone. After the master in the hands of the other people has been adjusted, if the other people on the card do not pick a share, and the main player has all the rest in the hands of the master, no vice, he will win this hand, and it is shaved, and the winning money is doubled.

There are several ways to win or lose this kind of gambling: from the side of the main player, there are two ways to win. He asks for 70, and when a card is over, the other person on the board only picks 25 points, and he is a card. 10 and K in the card are counted as ten, 5 is 5 points, when the cards are played, as long as the card is controlled, and someone adds points, then the other party is picked up points. The player asked for 80, and the opponent only picked 15 points, and he became a card. Shaving means that no matter how few you ask for a house, the other party doesn't pick a point. Cheng and shave are ways to win money, but the level is different, shaving will win double the money, if you want to double shave (that is, more than 80), it is a big shave, but also several times to win money; The player asked for 70, and the card picked up 30 points, that is, it was broken, and if it picked up enough 60 points, it was a double. If the biggest card left in the final player's hand is not as big as the card in the other person's hand, it is the bottom pick, and the person who picks the bottom will get more money. Wins are also increased by rank.

Five people play "剋一" and four people play the same way, but in order to have more cards in each person's hand, three 3s are taken out from the cards, and a 3 king is added (except for the big and small kings). The six major keys (the big and small kings, the four 2s) became the seven major keys. In fact, this kind of gambling has to be played, as long as you have the four major keys in your hand, you can basically win money, of course, there are not many opportunities to catch the four major keys.

Who set the rules of such a complex and detailed game? When were they finalized? How did they come down? No one can find out! No one wants to bother to verify them, as long as we find it interesting to play, enjoy playing, learn how to play, and play along. Winning or losing in this way requires not only luck, but also skills and brainpower, especially after careful observation of various signs, to make an overall accurate judgment, in order to grasp their own wins and losses to the greatest extent, because of this, such a game is deeply loved by us.

We gambled so much that no one noticed that the color of the sky was quietly changing. The car has been running on the highway, constantly pulling distance from one place to another, consuming time, measuring space, and unconsciously taking away a bright, transparent morning. The dark clouds rolled and rose, as if they were beacon smoke burning in the sky, and soon occupied the sky, and from the place where the black clouds were solemn, there were bursts of muffled thunder in the distance. The warm time passed quickly, and it was just a mysterious smile that often appeared on the face of the universe, flashing and never stopping.

Lao Huang and Lai Zi hurriedly got out of the car and got into the car building. We tied the tarpaulin to the big shelf in front of the carriage in the car, and then used the spare tire and square wood to build a small shack, covering the top and cushioning the bottom, so that we could sit and lie down in it, and it was also comfortable and comfortable. The wooden recipes and spare tires that Lao Li brought came in handy, did he have long expected that the things he brought would be used in this way?

It wasn't long before it started raining outside. The rain was not heavy, but it was fine, and it was a drizzle from such a dark and thick cloud, which was indeed unexpected, probably because the wind was not strong enough to squeeze out more raindrops. The rain fell on the tarpaulin, silently, just a stream of moisture that brought in a thick smell of rain. Looking at the past through the gap on the edge of the small shack, far and near on the roadside, the mountains and fields are all blurred in the rain and mist, extending the misty emerald green. The drizzle is dripping, as if there is an invisible brush, constantly adding color to the mountains and fields, watching a flowing picture scroll unfold and fall at the same time. As the car galloped forward, mountains of different sizes, lengths, heights, shortnesses, fats and thinnesses seemed to be in a procession. Mountains and mountains carry heavier and heavier packs, passing through the summer, unloading them in the fall, and then sleeping soundly. The mountains we meet in the four seasons are all familiar, and there will be no indelible strangeness when we go there. The people we meet in the four seasons are also familiar, but people can't completely dispel the strangeness. People are sometimes like mountains, but mountains can never be like people.

I was half lying down and half sitting, while watching the mountain scenery comfortably, and I was about to doze off in a daze, when I heard Youjing and Changqing beside me say, "Can you be away from home for so many days?"

"It's okay, Xiaohong is much better than me, she will help take care of it. Changqing also said sleepily. All I know is that Xiaohong is his neighbor and often helps him take care of his grandmother.

"What's the matter if you two don't get married?"

"That's it"

"She doesn't want to get married, either?"

"Yes. ”

"That's it. ”

"I'll talk about it when I send my grandmother away. ”。

Youjing paused for a while, probably reluctant to mention this topic, but finally said angrily: "Your father and your father are really two masters••••••!

"They can't be blamed on them either. Changqing was also half-lying and half-sitting just now, and then suddenly stood up, looked out of the car and said. Changqing rarely mentions family matters, but after being together for a long time, we will naturally know a little bit about it. His grandfather found him a step-grandmother, and then his father found him a step-mother, so in a fit of anger, he led his own grandmother to go with him and cut off contact with them. That's probably the case, but we still don't know exactly what happened.

"Don't blame them, who do they blame? They don't marry their stepwives, can you run like this?"

"Can't blame their wives either!"

"Who's to blame?"

"I don't know. ”

"You don't blame your father's wife, why don't you call her mother?"

"These are two different things!"

"What do you mean by two different things?"

"I don't know. ”

"So you're a stepmother?" I couldn't help but interject curiously. In fact, I just want to confirm whether what I heard is true, although this kind of confirmation from the person concerned cannot be accurately identified as confirmation.

"That's my dad's daughter-in-law!" Changqing immediately retorted.

"Isn't your father's daughter-in-law your mother?"

"! I just think, my former mother was my mother, but not my father's daughter-in-law! Now this mother is my father's daughter-in-law, not my mother!" Changqing said in a circle.

"Mess!" said Yujing impatiently.

"It's not messy at all!" I said with great certainty. Changqing walked around like this, and I suddenly realized something, but I couldn't express it in words.

The rain kept falling, not too big, not too small, not in a hurry. In this way, black clouds have always shrouded the sky, not a single point of darkness, nor a point of sunshine. Good rain knows the season, because this is still a season that needs to be moistened rather than washed, everything is growing, everything needs to grow, and all must go through the harvest season after growth, the melons are ripe and the fruits are abundant, and they return to the soil, and then grow in the soil from the new, reincarnation.

By noon, we had a light meal on the side of the road and continued on our way. On rainy days, the road is slippery, and the car can't run too fast, so you can only follow the unhurried rain and move unhurriedly with the pace of the rain. Changqing and I both drank a pot of wine at noon, got into the car, and lay down comfortably, wrapped in cotton coats. The usual shrill motor sound, as if moistened by the rain and mist, turned into a lullaby, and soon lulled me to sleep.

It was as if a gust of wind was blowing, and it seemed that a strong smell occupied the entrance made of red brick walls on both sides, although the smell was strong, but I couldn't confirm what it was, it was a single, absolute thick that forcibly grabbed all my sensory organs, making me unable to extricate myself, escaping from a half-light and half-dark area. Depending on the intensity of the light, it should be confirmed that it was a morning and that it was just hazy.

••••••I heard the sound of footsteps walking in slippers, and then I saw a woman in a shirt and pants walk into the entrance sandwiched between the red brick walls. Her face was blurry and she couldn't see clearly, but because the shirt and pants she wore were close-fitting and tightly wrapped around her body, the bulges in front of her and behind her were particularly conspicuous. The raised sign, leading the seductive gaze, inspires the projector to act urgently. She had a noticeable bulge in her abdomen and was probably pregnant.

She seemed to be walking in front of me at the beginning, her floral and blue-white shirt wrapped around a two-petaled hemispherical shape, swollen and full, and writhing incessantly. It was as if he had just walked past me, his hair was unkempt, and he must have just crawled out of the bed. Otherwise, I had been following her, from the time the strong smell took over the entrance between the red brick walls, so I could only see behind her.

As I got closer to her, the hemispherical silhouette of the two petals gradually grew larger, and the fine patterns on it disappeared into a moist white jade color, and the gap in the middle suddenly became very wide, and it looked like a deep ravine. The entrance sandwiched by the red brick wall seems to have entered the woman's body, or the entrance is already open in her body, and it is as if she is still walking forward with the entrance sandwiched by the red brick wall on her back.

I was amazed, I was different, I didn't know what to do! A man suddenly stepped in, standing between me and her, and I didn't know where he came from, this was the image of a man, the outline of a body.

"Don't scream, or I'll stab you!" roared viciously, as if coming from far away.

"I can't hold it back!" the woman's voice was so clear that it seemed to be ringing in her ears.

"If you can't hold it, you have to hold it back!

Because he was in front of me, I couldn't see any reaction or movement from the woman. Soon after, the woman began to cry sobly, and the crying became louder and louder. The man took off his pants••••••

"Shut up, be merry!" the man gasped.

I wanted to rush to the rescue of the woman, and I wanted to shout, but I couldn't move my legs or open my mouth. I was struggling with myself when another gust of wind blew, and a new entrance with red brick walls on both sides appeared, and then a strong smell rolled in. Either from the depths of the entrance, or from the other side, there was the sound of a man crying.
