Sewage flowed sideways, and the ground was full of rotten vegetables. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Several black and thin men like monkeys squatted on the wall and, and when they met acquaintances passing by, they raised their heads to talk, as if they were in their own living room. The woman with the baby in her arms walked barefoot, talking and laughing in the mud, feces and urine. Two breasts bare. Exposed, pressed against the baby's face, and sucked by the child.

The pickup truck slowed down, pushed through the crowd, and stopped outside the roofless house.

Lao Cai got out of the car and communicated with the people around him. Half a sentence disagreed, so he knocked down a young man with a punch. Then he waved his hand to Xiaohu: "Stop here, my people will show you the car." ”

Xiaohu has lived here for many years and is well versed in the local folk customs. Sensei says a pickup, even if it's a Boeing 747. If you leave it for five minutes, you will be able to remove the rivets without any rivets.

Shen Qingshan jumped off the back bucket and suddenly felt the hot wind blowing in his face. It turned out that the parking lot was a barbecue shop, and instead of pigs, cows, and sheep, it was monkeys that were roasted.

Just look at the placenta-like monkeys planted around the fire, there are more than 20 of them. The oil shimmered, crackled, and the scorching smell was disgusting. The strong boss plucked a monkey and handed it to Lao Cai, who only pulled an arm. The man could not accept his behavior, and he had to accept it whole. The two had a heated conversation like an argument, but at the end the boss laughed and stuck the monkey back into the fire.

Lao Cai transferred the monkey's arm to Xiaohu to show friendly cooperation and common progress. Xiaohu also expressed his gratitude and took it and took a big bite. As for Shen Qingshan and Lao Shen, the two dogs, Lao Cai knew what kind of goods they were, so he didn't care about them at all.

During the grocery shopping period, people kept coming up to me, bowing their heads and whispering to the old vegetables, and from time to time someone gave a few bags of fresh meat as a gift. But Lao Cai, as a leader, is strict with himself and refuses all bribes.

"Your life is not easy, work hard, as long as there is something I can help, I will definitely help."

This was Shen Qingshan's nonsense, and he couldn't understand what Lao Cai said at all.

A stall was full of white and tender mice, and Shen Qingshan said strangely: "This thing is also eaten?" ”

Lao Cai noticed his question and explained in broken Chinese: "This is a pangolin, we don't eat it." You Chinese came and sold it to you. ”

Lao Cai commanded more than a dozen young people to carry and carry all kinds of cheap and large vegetables. A group of three, a group of two, loaded the pickup.

"That ......" at this time, Lao Shen proposed: "Go to the front and take a look." ”

Xiaohu raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Every time you do this, you can't see that you are very caring?" ”

"No, no."

Lao Shen was afraid that others would say that he was loving, so he hurriedly added: "She is cheap, and she is a bad old woman, who is she bullying if you don't bully her?" ”

"Go ahead." Xiao Hu supports bullying the old woman.

Shen Qingshan followed Lao Shen, through the bustling crowd, to the edge of the market. Here are all old, weak, sick and disabled, unable to occupy the central position, so they have to change three melons and two dates here to make a living.

Shen Qingshan noticed all the way that Old Shen was extremely abnormal, his eyes were urgent, and he was so nervous that he rubbed his fingers. He exhaled suddenly, as if letting go of the boulder in his heart, and strode towards an old woman.

A few baskets of lifeless leaves, four or five eggs. Her old face was as dry as autumn bark, and her head hung low, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.

Lao Shen first woke her up with a low snort, and then said, "Is this broken vegetable eaten by people?" ”

The old woman was silent, and raised her head for a long time, her cloudy old eyes full of. Eye droppings are squeezed into the deep lines at the corners of the eyes, one layer of dry and one layer of wet, layer upon layer.

"It's coming......" The old woman's voice was hoarse, and she noticed that there was someone behind Lao Shen, and her tone changed: "If you don't eat, someone else will eat, and you'll bully me again, the old woman." The person who has half of my body in the ground, only this rotten life is left, so take it if you want. ”

"!!"

Lao Shen put all the rotten vegetables into a bamboo basket, put the eggs in his pocket, picked them up and left. The old woman trembled and chased a few steps: "Money, I didn't give money." ”

Old Shen didn't reply, and threw down two crumpled coins. Shen Qingshan didn't know it, and he didn't know what kind of currency it was.

"She speaks Chinese." Shen Qingshan asked.

Lao Shen said yes, it's Chinese.

Shen Qingshan frowned: "Then you ......" said half a sentence and swallowed back. The more than thirty people who hung their half-lives in the flower shed also spoke Chinese.

When I came to the pickup, I surrounded several circles of people, shouting loudly and cursing non-stop.

The two pushed away the crowd, only to see Lao Cai sitting on the ground, his left calf was blurred with blood, and the Achilles tendon of his right foot was severed, revealing the white bones and yellowed fascia. Next to him lay a young man with bulging eyes, his throat slit, and blood flowing into the mud.

Lao Cai was seriously injured, and under the local medical conditions, he was already a dead man.

Lao Shen stumbled to the front and asked Xiaohu, "What's wrong?" One dead and one injured in the blink of an eye? ”

Xiaohu looked indifferent and explained simply. It's the boss of the roast monkey who sent someone to assassinate Lao Cai, and he wants to rob Lao Cai's territory. The whole island is just this one bazaar, and there are more and more foreign snobbers doing illegal business. It's a human being who has to eat, so it's big business.

The killer was cut by the old vegetable, and the roast monkey boss took the opportunity to pick the old vegetable's hamstrings.

At this time, the strong boss was directing the manpower, continuing the unfinished work of the old vegetables, and helping Xiaohu load the pickup truck. And the old vegetables, no one cares, slumped in the mud and fended for themselves.

Kindness and morality are constrained, and without restraint, the beast will be released.

Lao Cai knew that his life was coming to an end, so he took down the "cloud smoke" behind his ear. It was given to him by Xiaohu, he was not willing to smoke, now is the time. His deep voice spoke to his surroundings, wanting to catch fire.

Everyone avoids him is like hiding from the plague, and a man who has lost his strength is not worthy of respect.

The flash of fire was Shen Qingshan. Lao Cai looked at him through the flames, his scorched face full of tears. He lit a cigarette, nodded to Shen Qingshan, and clapped his hand again.

Shen Qingshan got up, put the lighter back in his pocket, and also put a key in it!!

The breeze stirs up a fishy sweetness, which is greasy.

The old vegetable has his back against the wall, and his eyes are dim. He tilted his head and stared in the direction of the sea.

Yunyan smoked half of it. Breathless!

The busy and twisted crowd bustled around, the old vegetables slipped, their heads stuck in puddles, and their skin turned blue.

One hand picked up half a cigarette, and someone said, "I can't collect your body, this half cigarette will help you bury it." ”

Everything was cleaned up, and Xiaohu communicated with the owner of the roast monkey shop, Chicken and Duck, and then gave him a wad of banknotes.

Lao Shen asked Xiaohu: "Old vegetables look like this, what should we do in the future?" ”

Xiaohu's eyes never looked at people, only at the sky, and snorted coldly: "The roast monkey is a new and old dish, one person abdicates, and one person tops." The world has never changed. ”

Shen Qingshan understands that "old vegetables" is another annotation of "emperor".

He stood in the back bucket and tied the goods firmly. Standing on the high ground, with a wider field of vision, I suddenly saw a thin figure out of the crowd, with a metallic luster flashing in his hand, and went straight to Xiaohu.

Xiao Hu is hooking shoulders with new and old dishes, holding a roast monkey in one hand and nibbling on it.

Shen Qingshan struggled for a moment and shouted loudly: "Be careful, !! behind you ”

Xiao Hu suddenly turned around, and the thin figure was already in front of him, and the sharp knife pierced his heart.

Bang!

The gunshot rang out, Xiaohu's face turned pale, and the thin figure rolled over and fell to the ground, with a bloody hole next to his nose.

The new and old dishes thought that the killer was coming for him, after all, he killed others and robbed the old vegetables of their position. Naturally, there are people who want to grab his place. As soon as the two discussed, Xiao Hu was not sure who the killer was aiming for, there was no police station in this place, so it could only be shelved as an unsolved case.

Xiaohu was frightened excessively, hurriedly said goodbye, and drove back to the flower shed.

Afterwards, Xiao Hu praised Shen Qingshan, saying that if it weren't for him, he would probably have put it up. After that, Xiaohu took good care of him, and he and his son did not have to work in the shed, but all went to the kitchen to help.

You can eat enough and have free time. Shen Qingshan nodded again and again, and said okay!!

……

After dinner, Shen Qingshan piled up the rotten vegetables. The workers dragged their numb bodies and their empty eyes to continue their work in the night. They are not allowed to rest until the early hours of the morning.

Shen Qingshan let his son go into the house to sleep by himself, which is also a special treatment for working in the kitchen.

Shen Qingshan sat opposite Lao Shen and said bluntly: "Say it." ”

Lao Shen replied dryly: "What do you say?" ”

"Who is that man, and who is the old woman?"

Old Shen's throat shook and he got up to leave: "What who?" I don't know? Shen Qingshan pressed him back: "Don't pretend, you see her like you're seeing your own mother." ”

"Living in this hellish place, if you can have someone who speaks Chinese, everyone is your own mother." Lao Shen pushed him away and strode out the door.

"Do you want me to talk to Kim Dabang? She put a note in your basket of vegetables, which is now pressed under your bed. Shen Qingshan said lightly: "Talk to him, or talk to me?" ”

Old Shen suddenly knelt down, grabbed Shen Qingshan's hands, and cried to the ground: "Please, don't tell Jin Dabang." The unfortunate people who are also in trouble, leave me a way to live. ”

Shen Qingshan shook him off, looked out the window, shook his head and said, "Don't be close to me, there is no love here!" ”

Old Shen was depressed, this is what he said to Shen Qingshan, and he was withdrawn again.
