Chapter 12 Words are like people
On Qingyun Mountain, there are two stone lions, behind is the courtyard enclosed by a red brick wall, the entrance is a small pine forest, ten meters long, ten meters wide, in the middle is a bluestone path, all the way to the three-storey small white building, a room on the side of the second floor is still bright.
A middle-aged man looked at his son who was lying motionless on the bed, he couldn't see sadness, everything seemed calm, and next to him a man in retro clothes was meditating on the ground, his waist was straight, motionless, like a pine tree in the yard.
After a long while, the middle-aged man broke the silence and asked unhurriedly, "Tang San'er, how long has the tiger roared here?"
"Boss, it's been three months, it's time to go. Tang San'er replied.
The room fell silent again, and at three o'clock in the morning, the big bell placed in the living room on the first floor rang, and the head of the young man lying on the bed naturally fell downward, and the whole person was completely calm.
"Let's do something. After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned around and left, Tang San'er also stood up, and immediately after, the lights on the entire floor were turned on, and the crying came immediately.
……
The next day, Lin Mu got up early, feeling that his condition was surprisingly good, his muscles and bones did not hurt, and even the skin wound had scabbed, itching and stimulating himself.
He threw a set of punches in the courtyard and after loosening his muscles, he pedaled the tricycle and walked out.
"You turtle son, don't eat breakfast, it hurts your spleen and stomach. Zhang Xiaolan chased after him with a piece of pancake, Lin Mu turned around, Zhang Xiaolan threw the pancake in his hand vigorously, and Lin Mu caught it steadily.
"Thanks, Aunt Lan. Lin Mu picked up the pancake and took a big bite, smiled hippie, made an "OK" gesture, hummed a song, and continued to march on three wheels.
"This bunny. After Zhang Xiaolan scolded, she was about to turn around and saw the old Xing couple not far away, who walked slowly with the support of his daughter-in-law, and there was still a bandage on his head.
"I said, eldest sister, what's wrong with your man?" Zhang Xiaolan asked.
Obviously, Aunt Xing's face was a little unbearable, and yesterday's experience was difficult to talk about, and she couldn't say anything.
"Isn't my eldest brother here?" Xing Laosan poked his head out and looked into the courtyard, but he didn't seem to find Hao Youde.
"Both of them got up early today, and the chicken food at home was about to run out, so he went to the vegetable market early in the morning to pick up cabbage leaves. Zhang Xiaolan said.
Xing Laosan and his family looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Xiaolan, and saw Lin Mu's figure turning towards the main road.
Xing Laosan sighed and told Zhang Xiaolan to let Hao Youde prepare wine and food at night, and he wanted to have a few drinks with him, so he shook his head and walked forward, muttering: "What a good child, it's my daughter who is not blessed." ”
At noon, Lin Mu parked his tricycle at the entrance of a community, and the neckline of his army-green coat was oozing a lot of sweat, and he took out a white sheep's belly towel to wipe the sweat.
Today's forest is a bumper harvest, early in the morning went out to meet a customer who had just finished decorating the house, a large number of cardboard boxes filled the tricycle, and said that there were a lot of empty beer bottles at home, Lin Mu sent the cartons to the material station, ran two times in a row, and this was all finished.
At this time, Lin Mu was holding more than a dozen banknotes in his hand, counting them one by one, and a full hundred yuan was in his account, which was more than twenty yuan more than the previous day's income.
Lin Mu put the money in his pocket, and was just about to try his luck in a different community, when a beggar came up to him, stretched out his hand, and asked Lin Mu for money.
Lin Mu looked up and saw that the beggar was a woman, not very old, holding a child in her arms, about two years old.
Out of sympathy, Lin Mu took out a piece of money and handed it to the woman, the woman nodded, and said thank you when she left, her voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was full of stamina, which made people feel full of hatred.
Lin Mu felt that the woman was strange, so he kept looking at the woman's background until her background completely disappeared in front of his eyes.
At the end of the day, Lin Mu made an unprecedented income of two hundred and eighty yuan, which was actually four times as much as usual, but he was not too excited, but carefully kept the money for yesterday's coffee alone.
The rest of the part, Lin Mu was divided into two parts, one was Zhang Xiaolan's filial piety money, and the other was reserved for the few people he was worried about.
With the remaining ten yuan, Lin Mu walked to a haggis shop, and a somewhat familiar figure held the child and passed by him, but he didn't care, he found a table at random and sat down, ordered a bowl of haggis and a sweet cake, and chewed it with satisfaction.
Two beauties walked in, one was wearing a black coat and the other was wearing a white coat, the contrast was obvious, Lin Mu looked at the two and suddenly smiled, if the two were put together, it would be a standard panda.
The beauty in white thought that Lin Mu's laughter was a little disrespectful, and wanted to ask Lin Mu for an explanation, but as soon as she took a step, she was stopped by the woman in black.
"Look how pitiful he is, wearing such simple clothes in winter, it's not easy for such a person, don't trouble him, besides, I'm going to be annoyed to death, don't add fuel to the fire, let me be quiet." The woman in black had a calm face and a look of displeasure, but she still kindly stopped the woman in white.
The woman in white snorted coldly, and she didn't know anything like Lin Mu, so she pulled the woman in black and sat down at the table next to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu felt that these handsome girls had a lot of problems, so he didn't want to stay here longer, lest he couldn't help laughing again and make others unhappy.
He consciously stood up, touched his pocket, and found that he had no money on his body, he was unwilling, so he simply took off his military coat and searched carefully, and it was still like this.
It doesn't matter to Lin Mu if he loses ten yuan, his big money is hidden in his trouser belt, Lin Mu immediately untied his trouser belt, and the more than eight hundred yuan hidden in it disappeared.
Lin Mu frowned, saw the waiter coming over, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks he had eaten, and then stood beside Lin Mu and waited for the payment.
Lin Mu couldn't imagine that he had fallen in someone else's way today, gritted his teeth, and secretly scolded the person who stole his money, but when he saw the waiter's face, he was a little weak and at a loss.
He grabbed his head embarrassedly and looked around, but he didn't expect that more than a dozen people around him were looking at him with embarrassment.
Lin Mu's face flushed, and the woman in black laughed.
"You're smiling, I haven't seen your smiling face for a week. The woman in white cried out in surprise, quickly turned around, and gave a thumbs up to the woods.
Then he said to the waiter with an excited face: "Don't look at it, no matter what reason he is so funny, his order will be recorded on our table." ”
After the waiter heard this, he glanced at Lin Mu, did not speak, and walked quietly.
Lin Mu stayed for a while, and then walked to the table of the two beauties, who were a little frightened when they saw Lin Mu's appearance, and suddenly panicked, and almost dropped the meat bun in their hands to the ground.
"You, what do you want to do? I, I can tell you, I am kind enough to help you settle the bill, but it doesn't mean that I stole your money, you don't rely on us. The woman in white stammered.
Lin Mu said: "I owe others love, I owe others money, I never want to owe others love, and I don't want to owe others money." ”
After Lin Mu finished speaking, he took out an account book and a pen from his coat and placed them in front of the two.
"What are you doing here?" The woman in white still didn't understand Lin Mu's thoughts, feeling that Lin Mu was reckless and vulgar.
A gust of wind blew from the door, and the woman in white shivered, feeling her body suddenly cold.
"Did you write this?" the cold wind blew into the forest tree's ledger, and quickly turned a few pages forward, and the woman in black asked with a surprised look on her face after seeing it.
The woman in white was even more nonsensical when she saw her best friend so excited, she didn't understand why, so she took it upon herself to snatch Lin Mu's account book from her best friend's hand, and said in her mouth: "What's it, look at what makes you excited, both eyeballs are about to come out." ”
In an instant, the woman in white consciously closed her mouth, looked up at Lin Mu, and then looked at the ledger in her hand and said incredulously, "Is this what you wrote?"
Lin Mu was a little confused by the monk who looked like Zhang'er, and asked with a confused look: "I wrote it? What's wrong?
The two beauties in front of them laughed at the same time, Lin Mu's ledger was neat and perfect, with daily subtotals and monthly totals, simple and scientific.
The woman in white covered her mouth with her hand, forced herself to laugh, and said to her best friend: "His words and his people are like a toad and a frog, and in the end the toad is still a toad, and the frog becomes a prince." ”
Lin Mu heard that the other party was praising what he had written, and belittled his own people, so he suddenly became angry, frowned and said, "Address, hurry up." ”
The woman in white laughed even harder: "Why do you want an address? You don't have to pay off the bill because of a bowl of haggis, right? ”
The woman in white looked at her best friend opposite, making people feel that Lin Mu wanted to trick the woman in black, and the woman in black glared at each other angrily.
"Who pays the bill, who writes the address. Lin Mu didn't know what a routine was, he just thought that he had encountered a problem, and if others helped, he owed it to others.
"Don't take it too seriously, we can still ask for a bowl of haggis. The woman in black said politely.
Lin Mu was a little stubborn and continued: "Address?"
"Otherwise, I won't write the address, I'll leave you a mobile phone number, don't give me this money, your handwriting is so beautiful, teach me to write another day, I'm a secretary, this aspect needs to be improved. The woman in black smiled slightly.
The woman in white then quipped: "Why do I suddenly think that you want to trick him, is the story of a talented man and a beautiful woman true, I don't dare to continue thinking about it." ”
Hearing this, the woman in black secretly kicked the woman in white, and then said with a speechless expression: "Wu Ran, don't make trouble, I will ignore you if you make trouble again." ”
"Okay, okay, today's thing is very sudden, I still hide it in my heart, don't express it, I swear to the light bulb that I will definitely keep it secret for Comrade Qin Doudou. Wu Ran said, Qin Doudou cast an impatient look.
"I hold back, I must hold back. Wu Ran looked like he was begging for mercy, but he smiled on his lips.
Qin Doudou had long been accustomed to Wu Ran's arrogance, and she was extremely helpless at this time, she ignored Wu Ran, picked up the pen, and wrote down her mobile phone number in Lin Mu's ledger.
"I want your people to be as beautiful as your handwriting, and don't give my phone number to anyone else. Qin Doudou closed the ledger, took the pen, and handed it to Lin Mu, but he was still a little worried about Lin Mu.
Words are like people, Qin Doudou reluctantly believes this.
At this time, Lin Mu's eyes suddenly caught a figure, the person stopped at the door of the haggis shop for a moment, and suddenly flashed, Lin Mu suddenly retrieved the ledger and pen, and rushed out of the door.
