40. The red rainbow has appeared, and the killing star is not far away
It was a sunny afternoon, suddenly shrouded in a dark cloud, the white light struggled from the gap in the dark cloud, the autumn wind suddenly rose, three or two points of rain, hurriedly hit a huge advertising umbrella.
The old man who repaired the shoes under the umbrella slowly put down the shoes he was sewing and mended, slowly took off the reading glasses that were very dangerously hung on the bridge of his nose, and looked at the north with his eyes slightly squinted. The red light is obscure, but there is a faint black gas flowing inside, and in an instant it becomes a dark tone such as gray-brown Chu, all colors flow, there is no regularity at all, and there are thousands of changes, when the two armies are fiercely fighting, when the sea is boundless, when it turns into a tiger, when it turns into a dream, when it is a fantasy, and finally it only sees the red light bursting fiercely, the light is dazzling but only for a moment, and finally slowly disperses.
The rare spectacle attracted passers-by to praise in unison, but they didn't know why, and they had different opinions, waiting for the brick family to answer.
"It's time to come, it's finally here, born with a vision, isn't it?" The old man muttered to himself: "The wind and clouds have changed abruptly, the red rainbow has appeared, I can't imagine that the little Tangyi actually has another killing star, but I don't know, who should this evil star be, or find Chu Lao Shenstick to ask another day", and then slowly put away the advertising umbrella with Wahaha Cola written on it, put the tools on the tricycle, and rode into a dilapidated house.
The old man is shabby, his body is rickety, his face is full of wrinkles, he supports a stall of mending shoes outside the east gate of a middle school all the year round, the price is fair, the craftsmanship is excellent, the students of a middle school and the surrounding residents affectionately call him "East Shoes", the old man does not argue, smiles, still silently mends the shoes in his hands, no one can think that when the old man was crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, he was a scholar and sword, wild and uninhibited lord, and the hands covered with dust and greasy cracks had gently held how many soft wattles like spring onions.
At the same time, in Jiyu Lane of Ximen, the largest vegetable market in Ximen, the big man slowly put the snakeskin bag full of yellow eels in his hand on the side of the pork case, and looked thoughtfully at the sky in the north, red rainbow light, dark illusion, sneered, the reincarnation of heaven, retribution is unpleasant, the killing star is born, and it is a bloody storm. I have to come if I have to come, I have to die if I have to die, it has nothing to do with me, I'm still busy with my own going, damn these birdmen all ask me for snake powder, where did I get so many snakes? Come on, it's better to buy more yellow eels to dry and grind into powder, anyway, they are all long and long, and they are almost finished.
A regular customer passing by next to him asked with a smile: "Pork Li, what are you buying so many yellow eels for?" ”
"Boiled noodles!" The shirtless man said coldly, and then focused on the pork on the board, completely ignoring the questioner's thoughts, a bag of yellow eels is used to cook noodles?
Dahan surnamed Li, is a vegetable market to sell pork, the knife is fine, a broadknife to cut the bone and cut the flesh and divide the veins, buy pork in his stall never have to weigh, the customer said how much, he waved the knife, indiscriminately chopped, and then threw it on the case, the score is not bad, wherever you go to re-scale, than the industrial and commercial bureau's assured scale is more accurate. There was once a scoundrel, the little brother of Ximen Meihuawu, who was very bored, and wanted to take advantage of it, so he ran to his pork stall and said with a hippie smile: "I want a piece of meat with belt bones, eight catties and eight taels, a little more, a little less, you can cut it out and I will give you double the money, if it is more or less, hehe, that meat is your filial piety to the uncle, pork Li, do you dare?" ”
Would pork plum dare? I saw him close his eyes and ponder, a large piece of pork was spread on the table, and suddenly his eyes were wide open, and the fine light flashed, and the meat cleaver was already in his hand.
No one in the heavens or on earth can describe the speed of this knife, but everyone on earth knows that the knife must be in the place.
The knife flashed, a piece of pork has been separated from the mother, jumping and falling into the arms of the gangsters, and then look at the person holding the knife, with a yellow red plum of three yuan and eight cents in the corner of his mouth, the knife has been sheathed, the right hand holding the knife is now leisurely holding a cup of 82 Sprite, his eyes are slightly closed, his expression is intoxicated, it seems to be tasting the unique sweetness of 82 Sprite, the messy hair dances lightly in the wind, the greasy blue overalls can't hide his bloated figure, melancholy eyes, sighing stubble, and the magic knife "Thank you, a total of 176 yuan, The price of pork has recently risen by 10 yuan a catty" (it is said that there was once a little fat man with glasses named Wang Jing who was mixed in the crowd to watch the excitement, and later, this little fat man went to Hong Kong)
The gangster said hardly: "Eight catties and eight taels, I won't give money if there is more or less, I'll take it back and weigh it first, ah", holding the pork and wanting to leave, the knife light flashed again, and the gangsters fell to the ground with two faint eyebrows.
"Want to leave without paying?" Pork Li made a contemptuous trilling sound in his nose, his body seemed to be moving, and the cigarette ash at the corner of his mouth did not fall.
Only then did the gangster realize that his eyebrows were gone, and he began to be afraid, and scolded at the corner of his mouth: "You fat man who sells pork, you dare to shave Lao Tzu's eyebrows, do you know who Lao Tzu is?" Lao Tzu is Zhang Ba of Ximen, I am mixed with the five or five brothers of plum blossoms, and you don't want to put up a pork stall...... Ah, who, fifth brother, you're here too"
The short and fat plum blossom five squeezed out of the crowd, slapped Zhang Bafan to the ground, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Li Ye, this kid has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, you raise your noble hand, I'll go back and educate him well, the master often thinks about you, I hope you often go back to see, the master also said, the spring breeze you matched last time and the Yumen Pass has obvious medicinal effects, I hope you will give a little more", turned around and kicked Zhang Ba again, and scolded angrily: "Don't apologize to Li Ye, and then settle the pork money, you dare to doubt Li Ye's knife skills, I want to ....... under Master Li's spirit snake staff back then."
Pork Li stopped Mei Blossom Wu's words, and said leisurely: "Even the orchid whisk can be used to mend shoes, what is this trick of mine, you can go, I still have to do business", after speaking, he picked up the knife again and chopped up a pile of ribs on the board.
But pork Li himself does not eat pork, is lonely, does not smoke and drink, is not close to women, but likes to buy snakes, raise snakes, now there are fewer and fewer snakes to buy yellow eels, and I don't know whether he buys so many snakes every time he cooks noodles or boiled wontons.
Hidden in the city, pork Li is such a sharp character hidden in the market, it is said that the old man of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Chuanlong, is polite to him, although he belongs to the Duanmu family, but he is never ordered by anyone, he has never been silent, in the eyes of others, in addition to selling meat in his life, is to buy snakes, few people know, he also has a nickname, West Poison!
In addition to knife skills, pork plum can also cure diseases, proficient in pharmacology, there are several well-known universities chemistry, pharmacology bachelor's degree, the best is to fight poison with poison, arsenic, poisonous rat strong, enemy killing, dichlorvos and the use of ingredients and drugs everywhere in life has extraordinary attainments, often with a wonderful hand, rotten into magic, such as raw eggs plus monosodium glutamate and a certain amount of snake powder (yellow eel powder), can play an aphrodisiac kidney golden gun does not fall, the beautiful name is called "spring breeze and Yumen Pass"; Eight toads with arsenic and a trace of enemy killing, put in the pot to steam for six hours, the toad discarded, the soup is swallowed in one go, can treat cancer, the beautiful name is called "eight immortals from the dead to life soup", so all kinds of good medicine home remedies, folk strange grass, Western pharmacology, unique chapters, author of "36 lectures on poison and detoxification novices", "nine-year compulsory education extracurricular chapter - life pharmacology analysis", but also published a personal autobiography "poison cloth in the world" at his own expense, But in real life, the broad masses of the people can't connect the famous western poison in the rivers and lakes of Tangyi with the fat man selling pork in front of them.
Residential houses near Wangjiatian vegetable farm, a big tree in the old courtyard is shady and shaded, Tang Xiaoshi sat stupidly on the stone bench in the courtyard, facing an old man with white hair, his eyes were lowered, his eyes were looking at his nose, his nose was looking at his heart, like an old monk settled down, without saying a word. Ye Qiu clasped his hands around and was expressionless to the side.
After being stared at for fifteen minutes, Tang Xiaoshi finally couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Ye Qiu, what is he doing here?" I just poked my fingers, the joints hurt a little, spray it with some Yunnan Baiyao, it's really not good, put a plaster, put a sleeve on the finger to fix the lower joints, you are good, in order to save money, take me to see this so-called miracle doctor, you will look stupid, he thinks he is a master of Wheel Gong and will heal his wounds with qi, you honestly say that this old man is not practicing Wheel Gong? Have you also practiced, Ye Qiu, let me tell you, the so-called angry sea is boundless, turning back is the shore, your Wheel Gong Master Li has already gone abroad, why are you obsessed, idiot, nay, demon."
Ye Qiu directly slapped Tang Xiaoshi's noise, "Idiot, what do you know, the art of Chinese medicine Qihuang is broad and profound, and the emphasis is on looking, hearing, asking, and cutting, the first point of hope is to open the eyes of the sky, see clearly the congestion and entanglement in your body, and then prescribe the right medicine, the old man Chu's cloth and appearance, Paul Vientiane, just one of its medical skills, is it comparable to the old military doctor who treats venereal diseases on the general telephone pole, give me quiet." With an angry voice, he startled a nameless bird on the tree, fluttered out, and a lump of green and white bird droppings fell from the sky, which could fall on the tip of the old man's nose.
"......" Tang Xiaoshi said in his heart: Good concentration, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and did not change color, bird feces fell on his nose and his heart was not frightened, this old man is definitely very human, it seems that he has reached the realm where a master in the novel can not add a feather, a leaf can not be touched, water and fire are not close, and the blade is not injured, I want to learn from him with reverence and listen to what he says.
Startled by the warm bird droppings, the old man finally opened his eyes, and their eyes flashed away.
Damn, I'm asleep again, I'm old, my spirit really can't keep up, I look at it and I'm sleepy, Ye Qiu, this little rabbit cub, is making up nonsense here again, looking at it, I want to hear and ask, what is open to the eyes of the sky is pure fiction, just look at the other party's complexion, this kid in front of him, his face is sallow, he seems to be malnourished, and he has slight bad breath between breaths, which proves that the liver is stagnation, and his physical condition is average, and he is by no means superhuman, but if what Ye Qiu said is good, his performance on the basketball court has reached the realm of a super martial arts master (because of well-known reasons, Chinese martial arts have now declined, otherwise, send the disciples of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong to play basketball, and the disciples of Tan Legs to play football, uh, it seems to be wrong, it seems that the disciples of Tan Legs still seem to be fighting in Chinese football, you fancy *, fake a, Tan Legs Descendants are not fighting alone, it's a pity, it seems that they are not proficient in learning, they can't kick the ball, and the old kickers have gone), and then pull it back, Tang Xiaoshi's performance on the basketball court has reached the first-class level of martial arts in the world, but why can't it be seen from his body.
Tang Bohu snickered in the dark: "Nonsense, I opened up the inner meridians, of course I can't see it outside, my face is sallow because of malnutrition, what delicious food can I eat in the school cafeteria, as for bad breath, hehe, it's nothing more than not brushing my teeth in the morning."
Chu Buyi gently wiped away the bird droppings on the tip of his nose, as gentle as wiping away the dew drops on the early morning flowers, and there was a faint smile on his wrinkled old face, like a juju flower that was about to wither.
"Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust" Seeing Tang Xiaoshi's complexion change lightly, revealing a suspicious look, Chu Buyi's words changed: "This is a misunderstanding of people for thousands of years, dust particles, floating in the world, no one knows its history, but it has always existed, witnessing all the things throughout the ages, red face and white bones, Wang Baxiong, all return to dust, even if you are a hero in the world, the elegance is peerless, in the end it will eventually turn into ashes, turn into dust, floating on this vast land, historical changes, vicissitudes." , The lump under your feet may have been turned into the corpses of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang back then, even if there are thousands of grievances, it is not an empty in the end, so the dust is empty, life is empty, everything is empty, how is the dust, people are dust, you are dust, I am dust, everyone is dust, why bother to seek the so-called mirror, in guano I am guano, in the poop I am poop, this is the real way of harmony, but the world, bustling for fame and fortune, but I don't know, what I want in my life is nothing more than a lump of guano ......"
zzzzzz, it's time for Tang Xiaoshi to fall asleep this time.
Ye Qiu rubbed his eyes vigorously and asked softly, "Is it him?" ”
Chu Buyi picked up a purple clay pot with a missing mouth from the dirty table in front of him, took a sip with taste, and said leisurely: "Yes is no, no is yes, Hong Xinghaonan is a false name, Tang Xiaoshi is a false name, bird droppings is a false name, all are false names."
Ye Qiu stared at Chu Buyi's flowery smile with a surprised face, and suddenly pinched Chu Buyi's shriveled chin like electricity, and pulled out two beards by the way. "Pinch is not pinching, not pinching is pinching, I pinched you is not pinched, pulled is not plucked."
Chu Buyi was in pain, the corners of his mouth were grinning, and he said vaguely: "Your shameless appearance is very much the charm of my year, I won't joke with you, hey, who is that, Tang Xiaoshi, are you awake, you go into the room, and you see a blue basin next to the green bucket under the red table, which contains a purple potion, you put your injured finger in the potion for half an hour, and the effect is obvious."
The sleepy-eyed Tang Xiaoshi walked into the dark house according to his words, and he didn't know if he could find the purple potion in the blue basin under the green bucket under the red table with his current IQ, and the two people in the courtyard looked at Tang Xiaoshi's swaying back and sighed in unison.
"Ye Qiu, I can understand your current mood, to be honest, I have also experienced the pain of idol shattering, but I can only regret to tell you, although this Tang Xiaoshi is a little similar in appearance to Hong Xinghaonan that day, but the temperament is completely different, and that day Hong Xinghaonan fell from the sky and drifted away, no one of us looked at his appearance carefully under our injuries, everyone can wear black-framed glasses, but Hong Xinghaonan's calm and tumbling temperament cannot be imitated, you classmate, appearance is stumbling, temperament is obscene, Clothing modeling is a failure in failure, but strange to say, when I met face to face just now, I actually couldn't see through his heart, with my many years of face-to-face acquaintance and the use of mind reading in "Cloth Clothes Divine Appearance", unless the willpower is extremely strong like your brother Shen Yedong, ordinary people will show flaws in my sharp gaze, exposing the most vulnerable place in their hearts, I watched it for fifteen minutes in a row, but it was completely ineffective for Tang Xiaoshi, like a mud cow entering the sea, without a trace, On the contrary, I suddenly felt a wave of nausea in the softest part of my own heart, like a cockroach crawling past, so I concluded that he was either a strong-willed traitor or an idiot, and now it seems that the latter is more likely."
"......" Ye Qiu was speechless, Chu Buyi's old god stick's flickering skills were really not covered, and he could still make up such a sharp judgment after fifteen minutes of dozing off with his eyes closed, no wonder those women at the gate of the park and next to the vegetable market regarded Chu Buyi as an immortal-level idol, and took shamelessness to the extreme, decomposing the * into invisible, the southern brother and the northern beggar, the east shoe, the west poison in the god stick, the five unique names in the rivers and lakes of Tangyi, how can it be a wasted name.
Just thinking about it, the sky suddenly darkened, as if in an instant 2012 came in advance, dark clouds covered the sun, in the northern sky black clouds and white light of the junction, leisurely revealed a strange red light, like the demon fire of hell.
I don't know when, the teapot in Chu Buyi's hand fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces, but he ignored it and muttered: "*, the red rainbow has appeared, the killing star has come, and it is another killing star, is it possible that there are more and more killing stars and nude photos now, and they are becoming more and more popular?" ”
A cold light suddenly flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes.
