Chapter 32: The Fallen Prodigal Son
Syllable!
With a startled sound, Wang Qiushi's voice sounded:
[Early morning.
The teahouse was already crowded with people, all kinds of people, waiting for all kinds of work. Aggie was drinking a bowl of hot tea in both hands. There were soup dumplings and fried children, and he was hungry, but he could only drink tea. He only had twenty-three copper coins, and he wanted a job to do. 】
This is the first chapter after the deletion - the down-and-out prodigal son.
Wucha didn't care.,Listen to it with only one ear while drinking tea.,After listening to this first paragraph.,He has a bottom in his heart.,It seems that the protagonist is Aji.,It's a low-level character.,But I don't know if this background is the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty.,It is estimated that the Song Dynasty is more likely.,After all, there are more novels in the Song Dynasty.。
Wang Qiushi's voice was slow and clear, like an audio novel, and continued to sound:
He wants to live. Recently, he learned that it is not easy for a person to live. The hardships of making a living were not something he could have imagined before, and if a person wanted to sell his labor, he had to have a way.
And he has no way. The plasterers have their own gang of men, the carpenters have their own gang of men, and even the porters and coolies have their own gang of men, not their own gang of people, and they don't want to find work. 】
"It's okay!"
Wucha muttered, his face was very touching, but it is not difficult to make a living, he is a living example! It is so difficult to sell a tea leaf!
He was hungry for two days. On the third day, he didn't even have seven copper plates for tea, so he could only stand outside the teahouse and drink the wind. When he was about to fall, suddenly someone came to him on the shoulder and asked him, "Do you do it for five cents a day?" Aggie looked at the man, unable to say a word, and nodded, and nodded again and again, because his throat could not speak.
This person is an old seedling. He was tall, strong, ugly, and white-toothed when he smiled. His left earlobe was very long, and there were traces of earrings on it. 】
The character Lao Miaozi appeared, and Xiao Mi was also listening, and asked:
"Wu Shao, what do you mean by the old seedling?"
Wucha was a little impatient and said, "You don't know about ethnic minorities?"
Xiaomi shut up and continued to prick up her ears to listen.
Next, Aji began to pick dung, his strength was exhausted, and he almost fell down three times, but the old seedling gave him a pancake and half a salted radish, and took him back to the house, where he met the old woman and the doll.
[Lao Miaozi said: "This is my mother, who can cook good dishes. “
Aji looked at the thick porridge made of vegetables and brown rice in the pot and said, "I can smell the aroma. “
The old woman smiled and filled a big bowl for him, and Aji took it and ate it, without saying the word "thank you".
Lao Miaozi looked satisfied in his sleep and said, "His name is Aji, and he is a good boy. The old woman struck her son with a wooden ladle and said, "If I can't see it, I'll let him eat it." Lao Miaozi said, "Can you let him sleep with us tonight?" The old woman squinted at Aji and said, "Are you willing to sleep in the same bed with my son?" “
The old woman said: "You are Han, and the Han people always think that our seedlings stink to death." Aji said, "I am a Han Chinese, and I stink better than him." “
The old woman laughed and struck him on the head with a ladle as if she were her son's head.
Aggie was already eating, eating fast. The two of them were also listening and began to be engrossed.
[The old woman said again: "It's just that you have to do one thing before you go to bed.] The old woman said, "Wash your feet first, or the doll will be angry." Aji said, "Who is the doll?"
The old woman said, "It's my daughter, his sister." “。
Lao Miaozi said, "But she was supposed to be a princess, and she was born to be a princess." “】
Gu Long's style is quite stream-of-consciousness, he translates the language of montage shots into his novels, and he cuts the tedious descriptions into paragraphs of different sizes, which are concise and crisp, unbridled and casual, but with a stronger sense of picture and drama. Wang Qiushi tried his best to maintain coherence, and his intonation, pronunciation, and speed of speech made people sound comfortable.
The next day, Aji still followed Lao Miaozi to pick up dung, and when he was eating steamed buns, the trio of triangular eyes under the big boss appeared.
[Suddenly, three men came up, their clothes ragged, their hats crooked, and a knife stuck in their belts. The older of the three was looking him up and down with a pair of triangular eyes, and suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it." ”
Aggie: "Take what?"
Triangular Eyes: "Even though you are new here, you should know the rules of this place. ”
Aggie didn't understand: "What rules?"
Triangle Eye: "I will divide your salary into 30%, and I will receive it for a month." “】
Of course, Aji has no money, he only has three copper plates on him, triangular eyes sneered, and then slapped the steamed bun in Aji's hand, the steamed bun rolled into the dung juice on the ground, Aji silently bent down to pick it up, and peeled off the outer layer of the steamed bun.
[Triangle eyes laughed and said, "Steamed buns dipped in dung juice, I don't know what it tastes like?"]
"Stop, stop!"
As soon as Wang Qiushi said this, he heard a shout in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw Wucha standing in front of him with a frightened face.
"Boss, it's just a storytelling, don't be so abusive, right?"
Wucha seemed to have a toothache, as if he was eating the steamed bun that had been dipped in dung juice.
Just as he was talking about his head, he was interrupted, Wang Qiushi stared at Wucha dissatisfiedly, and after a while, Wucha immediately retreated, and said, "You continue, you continue!" Then he turned back, picked up his tea and walked to the table closest to the front desk and sat down, looking at Wang Qiushi.
This story is very interesting, and Wucha is really reluctant to leave.
Wang Qiushi recalled and began to preach again:
"Aggie didn't speak, but said with triangular eyes: 'Do you eat this kind of thing too?'
Aji said, 'What do you say I am?' '
He bit down on the joint: 'I only have three copper coins, if you want them, I will give them to you.' '
Triangle Eyes laughed, and suddenly kicked his **. Aggie bent over in pain. 】”
Wucha listened attentively, and couldn't help but shudder, as if this kick had kicked on his little brother.
At this time, the plot finally took a turn for the better, the old Miao Zi rushed out from the other side, blocking in front of Ah Ji, facing the tall and strong old Miao Zi, the trio of triangular eyes retreated stupidly, and the two of them went home at dusk, Ah Ji still had a cold sweat on his face, after all, that kick was really not light.
Speaking of this, Wang Qiushi's voice also became slightly silent, at this moment it seemed that he was Lao Miaozi, he was Aji, he was the incarnation of two people, and there were two people in his body talking:
"[Old Miao Zi looked at him, and suddenly asked, 'When others beat you, you never fought back?' Aji was silent, and after a long time, he slowly: "I once worked in a brothel, and the people there gave me a nickname. 'Old Miaozi: 'What's your nickname?'
Aggie: 'They all call me useless Aggie. ’】”
