said that the old man sat down and waited for Huang Renrui to take a few puffs of cigarettes, so that he could tell him about this earth-shattering case, and lay down casually. Cuihuan, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was also familiar with each other at the moment, so he leaned on the old man's leg and asked, "Tie Lao, where are you located?" What does this poem say? "The old cripple - tell him to listen. He thought for a moment and said, "That's a good point. But is it also said in poetry? The old cripple said: "If you don't want to say these things in poetry, what do you say?" Cuihuan said: "When I was in Twenty Miles, I saw a lot of guests in the past, and there were often poems on the wall. I like to ask them to tell me the most, and it sounds like they mean only two things: a decent person always says that he is so talented that no one in the world knows him; As for the second-class people, it is nothing more than how good that sister looks and how kind of affection she has with him.

"We won't know if the old man is talented. It's just that the people who have come over are all talented, why don't you want to see a person who has no talent, I can't see it, I say a stupid thing: since there are so few people who have no talent, as the saying goes, 'things are rare and expensive', isn't it a treasure if you don't have talent. Leave him alone.

"Those who say that the sisters are good-looking are nothing more than a few people in front of us, some of whom have not even grown their noses and eyes, they are either more than him, or they are more than him; It's not that he sinks fish and geese, or that he closes the moon and is ashamed. Wang Yan I don't know who he is, some people say that it is Zhaojun Niangniang. I think, are Zhaojun Niangniang and Na Xi Shi Niangniang both like this? It must be unreliable.

"As for how my sister is good with him and how kind she is, I once sent a stupid feeling and went to ask, and the sister said, 'He stayed for one night and was in trouble all night. Tianming asked him to ask for two pieces of silver, so he wiped his face, straightened his neck, and shouted: I developed the account last night, what else do you need for your own money? The sister told again and again: "As for the money in the main account, the guy in the store will deduct one point, the shopkeeper will deduct another point, and the rest will be taken by the mother of the leading family, and not a single money can be released." Our attention to the pollen, and the little clothes we wear, are all bought with our own money. The old man who just listens to the tune can't ask him, only the old man who keeps it can ask for the hard money of the two servants. Again and again, he gave two hundred dollars for a small skewer, looked at the ground, and pouted and said, 'You robbers and bitches, you are really not a thing!' Bastard King Badan! Do you want to have kindness? Therefore, I think that it is very boring to make poetry, but it is just a rumor. Why isn't your old poem like this? The old man smiled and said: "'Each master is ready to teach, and each trick is changed. When our master taught us, it wasn't this way, so it was different. ”

Huang Renrui just finished eating a tube of cigarettes, put down the cigarette gun, and said: "It's really 'people can't look good, and the sea can't fight'." Writing poetry is just creating some rumors, this sentence is really said by this kid! From now on, I will not write poetry, lest I create some rumors and be laughed at by them. Cuihuan said: "Who dares to laugh at you for being old!" We are children in the countryside who have never seen the world, talking nonsense, don't blame me, don't blame me, just kowtow to you! He leaned sideways and nodded a few points at Huang Renrui. Huang Renrui said: "Who blames you, it's really good, but no one has said it!" It can be seen that 'the authorities are confused, and the spectators are clear'. ”

The old man said: "That's it, it's just that you hurry up and talk about your strange case." Since he will return to his life early tomorrow after dark, why is he still so slow? Ren Rui said: "Don't be busy, wait for me to explain the reason first, and then talk about the case slowly." Let me ask you, will the ice in the river open tomorrow? He replied, "No." Asked: "The ice can't be opened, do you dare to walk on the ice?" Will you be able to leave tomorrow? Answer: "You can't move." Asked, "If you can't leave, do you have any important business to get up early tomorrow?" Answer: "No." ”

Huang Renrui said: "Come again!" In that case, what are you doing in a hurry to go back to the house? When this is dreary and lonely, having a friend to talk to is considered a joy in suffering. Besides, the two of them, although they are not as good as peonies and peonies, are they not as good as morning glory and light bamboo leaf flowers? Cutting candles and pouring tea is also very interesting. I say to you: In the provincial capital, you are busy and I am busy, and if you want to talk, there is no time. It's rare to meet today, and it's just a good time to talk. I often say: In life, the most bitter thing is that there is no place to speak. You see, if you talk about it all day long, how can you say that there is no place to speak? In the stomach of a mortal, there are two places to speak: one is from under the dantian, which is his own words; One comes out of the throat, that's the words of entertainment. There are so many people in the provincial city who are either better than me or inferior to me. He who is better than me, he looks down on me, so he cannot speak to him; and he who is not as good as mine will be jealous of me, and will not be able to speak to him. Is there no one like me? Although the circumstances are similar, his heart is very different, he thinks he is better than me, and he looks down on me; They think they are inferior to me, and they are jealous of me: so there is no room for speech. Like your brother, he is finally a person outside the circle, it is rare to meet today, and I admire you in the past, I think you should take pity on me and talk to me; You're in a hurry to leave, how can you teach people not to feel uncomfortable? ”

The old cripple said: "Good, good, good!" I'll talk to you about it. I say to you: I will sit when I go back to the house, so why bother to be strong? Because you have called two girls, and you are just in time to talk to them, or you have beaten two picores, and you are giggling. I'm inconvenient here: Actually, I'm not a person who wants to eat cold pork from Mr. Daoxue, so what's the hypocrisy! Ren Rui said, "I am also discussing with you about their affairs." He stood up, wiped the sleeve of Cuihuan, exposed his arm, pointed to the old man, and said, "Look, these scars are terrible!" "When the old cripple looks at it, there are green ones, and some are purple little by little. Ren Rui said again: "This is like this on the shoulder, I think the body is even more pitiful." Cuihuan, you just untie your body and take a look. ”

Cuihuan's eyes were full of tears at this time, but he couldn't help but let him fall, and he was pulled by his hand, but he dripped a lot of tears. Cuihuan said: "Look at what, weird! Ren Rui said: "Look! Is this kid stupid? What are you afraid of? Are you still ashamed to make a living? Cuihuan said: "How can you not be ashamed! Cuihua also had tears in her eyes at this time, and said, "Don't tell him to take it off." Looking back at the window, he whispered to Ren Rui and said two words in his ear, Ren Rui nodded, and was silent.

The old cripple was drumming on the kang at the moment, thinking in his heart: "These are all good sons and daughters, when his parents raised him, I don't know how much effort he took, went through endless hardship, naughty and broke a piece of skin, and he had to caress it; Not only caressing, but also a lot of uselessness in the heart. If you are beaten twice by another child, you will hate something. That kind of love and mercy is self-evident. Who knew that when he was raised as an adult, or because he was hungry because of his age, or because his father ate opium cigarettes, or was good at gambling, or dragged down by lawsuits, he was forced to sell his daughter to this door family in a daze, and was cruel by bustards, and there is a realm that cannot be described in words. Therefore, touching what he has seen and heard in his life, the poison of bustards everywhere, is really like a master teaching, always the same means, angry and sad, and I don't feel that the corners of my eyes are also a little damp.

At this time, everyone was silent and quiet. I saw that someone outside took a roll of luggage, which was taken by Huang Renrui's family and sent to the inner room. The family came out and said to Huang Renrui: "Please ask the master to come to the door key of the old man's room, so that he can send Cuihuan's luggage in." The old man said: "Naturally, it will also be taken to your old man's house." Ren Rui said: "Yes, yes!" Don't eat cold pork. Give me the key. The old cripple said: "That's not good! I never do this. Ren Rui said: "I have already paid for it, and the money has been given." What are you? The old cripple said: "It doesn't matter if the money is given, I will pay you back tomorrow." Since he has already paid the money, his old bustard has nothing to say, and he will not be difficult for him, what are you afraid of? Cuihua said: "You really teach him to go back, he can't run a full meal, and he always says that he offended the guest." The old man said: "I still have a way: send him back today and tell him that Ming'er still calls him, and it will be fine." Besides, he is the person called by Master Huang, what are you doing with me? Wouldn't it be easy for me to pay for it? Huang Renrui said: "I was called for you, I already left Cuihua yesterday, is it good to ask Cuihua to go back today?" But everyone, to relieve your boredom, I don't have to be like you. Last night, Cuihua talked in my room all night and sat until dawn, but we took this opportunity to relieve his boredom and save him from two beatings. First of all, because of their rules, if you don't stay, you are not allowed to move the chopsticks, if it is not dark, I will come, sit in the middle of the night hungry, and it happens that I can't save a beating. Because the old bustard always said: Since the guests have kept you at this time, they naturally like you, why do they call you back? It must be a bad social, and if it is unlucky, it will be a meal. That's why I told them to tell me, 'It's all left, don't you see his guy asking Cuihuan to eat?' That's a code. ”

Speaking of this, Cuihua said to Cuihuan: "You yourself tell Tie Ye, take pity on you." The old man said: "I don't do anything else, the money is given according to the amount." Let him go back, he will be quiet, and I will be quieter. Cuihua snorted in her nose and said, "It's true that you are quiet, he can't be quiet!" Cuihuan tilted his body and turned his face to the old man and said, "Tie Ye, I see that you are old, strange and compassionate, why don't you want to be merciful to our children?" The kang in your old house is one foot and two feet long, and your old bunk is only three feet wide, and there are nine feet more than that, so you are reluctant to reward our children for a night's refuge? If you want my child to serve me, I will also do it if I want to serve it, and I will do it if I fill it with cigarettes and pour tea; If you are very disgusted, please bear with me, and enjoy a kang deformity for a night, which will be a great grace! ”

The old cripple reached out and took out the key in the pocket of his clothes, handed it to Cuihua, and said, "Listen to how you stir it up, but my luggage can't be moved." Cuihua stood up, handed it to the family, and said, "Driver, see that his men send him in, come out, and please lock the door." Thanks, drive! The family went with the key.

The old cripple stroked Cuihuan's face with his hand and said, "You are from there, what is your bustard's surname?" At what age did you sell it to him? Cuihuan said: "My mother's surname is Zhang." After saying a word, he took out a hand from his sleeve to wipe his tears, wiped and wiped it, but he was silent. The old cripple said: "Don't cry. I ask you about the family affairs of the old man, and it is also for you to relieve your boredom, if you don't want to say it, you can just say it, why suffer? Cuihuan said: "I don't have a home!" ”

Cuihua said: "Don't be angry, this kid has a bad temper, so he is often beaten." In fact, it's no wonder he's uncomfortable. Two years ago, his family was still a rich man, and he only sold it to my mother last year. He has never suffered this kind of kick since he was a child, so all kinds of things are not good, in fact, my mother is here, which is the best kind and harmonious. When he arrives next year, I'm afraid he won't have to live this year! Speaking of this, the cuihuan actually hid his face and whimpered. Cuihua shouted, "Hey! This kid doesn't want to live! You see, the old men call you to be happy, you can cry yourself! Isn't that to offend? Don't cry! ”

The old remnant said: "No, no! It's good to make him cry. You think, he held his sulk and went there to cry? It's rare to meet two of us who have no temper, and let him cry enough, which can be regarded as a happy time. He patted Cuihuan with his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you cry loudly, I know that Master Huang is a person who has no taboos." Just cry, it doesn't matter. Huang Renrui shouted loudly beside him: "Little Cuihuan, good boy, you cry!" Hurry up, let your old man Huang stuff in his belly, and cry for me! ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh, and even Cuihuan covered her face and laughed. It turned out that Cuihuan knew that he couldn't cry in front of the guests, but because the old man asked about his hometown, and Cuihua said that he was a rich man two years ago, so he was sad, so the tears couldn't help but go straight out, and he couldn't help it. When he heard the old cripple say that he was sulking in his stomach, he went there to cry, let him cry enough, and it was a happy time, and he thought to himself: "Since Luo Nan came, no one has ever been so considerate of him, so it can be seen that not all men in the world use their daughters' houses as dung." I just don't know if there are many people like this in the world, how many more can I meet in this life? If you can meet one, I'm afraid there will always be one. "I only cared about this calculation in my heart, but forgot about the sad calculation just now, and turned my ear to listen to what they said again. was suddenly shouted by Huang Renrui and wanted to ask him to cry for him, how could it not be funny? So with two bags of tears in his mouth, he laughed "sneering", and raised his head to look at Renrui, who knew that they saw this scene, and laughed more and more. Cuihuan didn't have any idea in his heart at the moment, and looked at them smirking, so he had to be confused and accompany them to laugh silly.

The old cripple said: "I've cried and cried, I've laughed and laughed, and I still want to ask you: Why was he still a rich man two years ago?" Cuihua, you tell me about it. Cuihua said: "He is from Qidong County." His family's surname is Tian, and there are more than two hectares of land outside the south gate of Qidong County; In town, there is also a grocery store. His parents only supported him, and his little brother is only five or six years old this year. He also has an old grandmother, most of the land on the side of the Daqing River is cotton land, and an acre of land is worth more than 100 yuan, and he has more than 20,000 acres of land, isn't it more than 20,000 yuan? If you connect the shop, it's enough for more than 30,000. As the saying goes, '10,000 guan family wealth', 10,000 guan family is considered a rich man, he has 30,000 guan money, is not a big rich man? ”

The old man said: "How can you be poor?" Cuihua said: "That's fast!" In less than three days, the family will be ruined! That's what happened the year before last. Isn't this Yellow River a three-year reversal? Zhuang Futai was very anxious about this matter. When he heard that there was a man who was a well-known genius in the south, he took a book to Futai, saying that the problem with this river was that it was too narrow, and that it would not be quiet unless it was relaxed, and that it would be necessary to abolish the people's mounds and retreat to the embankment. As soon as these words came out, the alternate adults all said yes. Then Futai said, 'How are these people in the embankment good?' They have to be paid to move out. Who knew that these Alternate Dao Wang Ba Dan said, "You can't let the people know." Do you think, this embankment is five or six miles wide in the middle and six hundred miles long, and there are always more than 100,000 families. Zhuang Futai couldn't do it, nodded, sighed, and heard that there were a few tears.

"In the spring of this year, the embankment was quickly repaired, and another embankment was built on the south bank of Jiyang County. These two things are a big knife to kill these hundreds of thousands of people! Poor little people, know it! When I saw the first few miles of June, I only heard people say: 'The flood is coming!' The flood is coming! The line on the hill kept running at both ends. The water in the river is more than a foot long a day, more than a foot long a day, and in less than ten days, the water is not very far lower than the top of the mound, and it is not one or two zhang high than the flat land in the mound! When I arrived at the thirteenth or fourteenth mile, I saw the newspaper horses on the mound, coming and going, one at a time, one at a time. At noon on the second day, all the camps marched to the embankment.

"At that time, there were people who were anxious and said, 'Not good! I'm afraid there's going to be a mess! Let's go back and get ready to move! Who knew that night, at the time of the third watch, there was a strong wind and rain, and I only heard that the Yellow River fell like a mountain. Most of the people in those villages were still sleeping in their houses, and when they snorted, the water went in, and they woke up in a hurry, and they ran quickly, and the water had already passed through the eaves. It's dark, the wind is strong, the rain is rapid, the water is fierce, you always think, what can be done at this time? "I don't know what's going on, but let's listen to the next breakdown.
