Section 5 The Journey Begins

If I had a choice in life, I'd rather keep it simple. A teacup, a thatched house, an acre of fertile land, and a deposit of 100 million.

In the afternoon, the police came, Erniu was bathing in the river, Zhang Tianshi was tied to the tree by the river with a rope tied to the pig by Erniu, and after asking for a confession in the whole village, he took Tianshi, Mu Zhishu and Erniu back to the police station, Erniu was left at the police station because he could not issue an identity certificate, Erniu explained that he came from heaven, and the police did not believe it, saying that they were going to send him to a mental hospital, but fortunately, the old man came forward to relieve the siege. Erniu returned to the village. Heavenly Master and Mu Zhishu spit out the money, and it is estimated that it will take a while to come out.

During this time, the old man and Erniu settled down, and the old man said that Erniu is now black, and he will marry a wife and have children in the future, and he can't settle down and can't study to make money as a CEO, how can this work? Although Er Niu doesn't think so, he is an immortal cultivator, he is completely free from the constraints of the world, power, fame, wealth, birth, old age, sickness and death are just a moment for him, but staying here all the time is not helpful for cultivation, he still has to go out for a walk, there are many things outside that he has not seen?

July is coming, Erniu is planting land every day, and then hunting game in the mountains, catching fish in the river, although some time ago the people in the village looked at him wrongly, but because he helped the whole village to plant, everyone was also enthusiastic about him, especially the widow Liu at the entrance of the village, often went to Erniu's house to ask for warmth. Widow Liu is forty and two this year, but she still has charm, and I heard Aunt Li say that Widow Liu is young and a flower in Liu Village. And the old man has been relatively idle recently, and he always goes to Liu Xiaoyue's house when he has more time, Liu Xiaoyue also went home on vacation, and took Erniu to her house to continue learning the junior high school curriculum, especially the small box called the TV set in her house, men and women kiss at every turn, especially the advertising time, all of them are beautiful women, and they only wear a fig leaf, and they say in the Japanese language: "It's really good-looking." "It's just that this amount of blood is lost a little too much, and it is said that a chicken can make up for half a drop of blood, so how many chickens can make up for it. Every time I watch TV, those rich people always say that they come to a bowl of shark fin to rinse their mouths, it is said that shark fin is the fin of a shark, although he has never seen it, but the TV says that it is big and fierce, and it seems that he has to take some trouble to try one. And the Avengers of the United States heard that they are very powerful, so you can go to meet for a while. He found that the men in the Wa Kingdom are too bad, and the women of the Wa Kingdom, whether they are teachers, wives, daughters-in-law, mothers, students, blind people, etc., whether they are on the subway, on the bus, in the classroom, in the kitchen, etc., they will be bullied, and even going to the toilet will be uneasy. And the old man also said that there is also his enlightenment teacher among them? As soon as the old man talked about it, his blood boiled, and he said something about trapeze, *, uniform temptation, etc., and he was stunned when he heard it. Knowing that these Erniu secretly made up their minds that they had the opportunity to go to the Wa Kingdom to lead those women out of the sea of suffering. During this time, Erniu will also bring his game to the town to sell when he has the opportunity, and subsidize the family, Liu Xiaoyue is about to go to college, and he also needs a lot of money. The old man is also older, and there is no fairy root, but there is an elixir that can forcibly practice the fairy root, but I don't know if there is one in this place, and there is no danding, he has not repaired his dantian now, and now in addition to physical fitness, the others are similar to ordinary people, and the fairy spirit power here is scarce, and it is not good for the repair of the dantian, the old man's body is now tough, and he can still go out for a few years.

On this day, Erniu took advantage of the leisure, brought the scale and the kitchen knife and two wild boars to prepare for the town to sell, at this time came a young man wearing mink, shorts, leather shoes, and a gold chain around his neck came over: "Yo, the young man's physique is okay, energetic, and he can't read at a young age, and now the society is good, and it costs a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law to repair a house, what can he do in the future?" Are you interested in messing with your brother Wang, who will take you to the big city to make money? ”

Erniu listened to the greeting, looked up, this person looked treacherous, tall and thin, although he didn't know, but it should be Uncle Wang's son Wang Degui, who used to be famous for being helpless, but I heard that now there is a future, I met the big boss in the big city, the contractor in the construction site, so not majestic, even if he is rich, but he is not familiar with him, why is it close to himself? After all, it was the villager Erniu, so he had to smile and return: "Ouch, Brother Wang!" What is the wind that brings you back? ”

Wang Degui came back this time mainly because his big boss did not allocate funds, arrears of workers' wages, and the previous migrant workers went on strike, but the project had to continue, and there was no way to go back to the village to find a few people on top, and after a while, I heard that the old man Wan picked up a grandson, and he could eat and work, and one person could top seven or eight strong men. "You said that you are tired and tired all day, and you can't make much money, go to the city with your brother to make a lot of money, and your brother will give you 3,000 yuan a month to take care of food and housing. That's a month that's less than a year's worth of income. ”

Erniu didn't want to be with cats and dogs, so he shook his head and said: "These two wild boars can also be sold for two or three thousand, and the old man is old, I am out, who will take care of him?" I think it's better to forget it! ”

"Don't mind, how good it is to go to the city to be a decent person, the city is full of beautiful beauties, in case you make a lot of money, buy a house, and become a city person, the old man also has a light on his face? Come on, come on, it's a thousand dollars, take it first. When Wang Degui heard Erniu's answer, he immediately took out a thousand yuan and put it in Erniu's pocket.

Erniu put down the wild boar on his shoulder, and hurriedly returned the money to Wang Degui. "No need, Brother Wang, if you want to go out, I will go out myself."

Wang Degui hurriedly prevaricated, who knew that Erniu's strength was too great, Wang Degui couldn't resist Erniu and had to watch Erniu leave: "Brother Erniu, don't you think about it anymore?" ”

"Forget it, Brother Wang, I still have to rush to sell wild boars."

Wang Degui looked at Erniu who was far away, and made a small calculation in his heart. When Erniu came home in the evening, the old man and Sister Xiaoyue were busy making flatbread in the kitchen, Erniu put a few roast ducks he bought on the stove, looked at the dozens of pan-sized cakes that had been made, picked up one and gnawed it. "What's going on with Grandpa? What are you going to do with so many cakes? ”

"This is for you to eat on the way. Didn't Wang Wazi say that you were going to go to the city with him to work? I don't want to make you some dry food for you to take with you on the road. The old man said as he made cakes.

"I didn't say I was going? Besides, what are you going to do if I go? ”

"You don't have to worry about me, I can't live for a few years when I'm old, and I don't have a chance to go out and see, this life is handed over to this mountain, you are different, you are young, and you have a good future, you will need money to marry a daughter-in-law and buy a house in the future, now there are a few thirty or forty-year-old bachelors in the village, your grandfather and I were not strong and handsome when I was young, I have not been a single man for a lifetime, there is no woman in the family, even if you want to go to Xiaoyue in the future, then you have to give her a good life, this girl has suffered for so many years. You've got to have a snack. Unfilial piety has three nos, and the latter is greater. ”

Liu Xiaoyue was frightened when she heard this, and immediately returned: "Grandpa Wan, what are you talking about?" Someone has a boyfriend. ”

When Erniu heard this, his face only changed slightly, and he immediately recovered, and Wan Shengcheng was anxious: "Yuewazi, my grandson is not good, hard-working, and he is as handsome as I was back then. ”

"Oh, I'll ignore you anyway."

"Grandpa, I just treat Sister Xiaoyue as a sister." When Erniu saw the embarrassment of the scene, he immediately said.

"Okay, but you still have to go to this city, and it's also great if you go to the city and find me a beautiful granddaughter-in-law from the city."

"Well, I'd like to go out and have a look, too."

"In the past few days, you and I have gone to the police station to get your ID card."

After finishing their work, the three of them sat around the table to eat, each with their own thoughts, and they didn't say anything all night.

Three days later, the day of departure came, early in the morning Wan Shengcheng and Liu Xiaoyue took Erniu to the railway station in the county seat, in order to let Erniu go out decently, so the old man brought him the bedding that he had prepared before to take the white osmanthus that he had treasured for decades, and also went to the town to sell two sets of decent clothes for him to bring, but the 1,000 yuan Erniu was left to the old man.

It was already afternoon when he came to the station, and Wang Degui and a few other people also rushed over, and several people, both old and young, thin and fat, were dressed relatively plainly, and compared with Erniu who was holding a bag of pig food and luggage, it was more than a grade lower.

The old man looked at Erniu and unconsciously felt a sour feeling in his heart, after all, Sun Xing Qianli Ye was worried. "If you have time to call back to the village, if you can settle down in the city, I will come and stay for a few days, old man." After speaking, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Don't worry, when I earn money, I'll take you over and live a good life, Sister Xiaoyue, you can rest assured, I will try my best to help you with living expenses, I'm in such good health, I'll find a few more jobs when the time comes." After speaking, Erniu hugged the two of them, and under the urging of Wang Degui, he took the ticket and went to check it. The rest of the relatives who saw them off said goodbye with tears.

This is the first time Erniu took the train, it feels quite novel, it is said that this thing can fit thousands of people, Erniu followed others through the security check, because it is a small platform, there is no waiting hall in the TV, go directly to the platform and wait, there are not many people on the train, they are all carrying large bags and small bags, some suits and leather shoes, some are simple and simple, Wang Degui and Erniu seem out of place, Wang Degui is mink leather shoes, Erniu is full of white vest rubber shoes that make up scars, newly bought clothes, Erniu is reluctant to wear it now, Especially the emancipated outfit of the sixties and seventies left by the old man, he must wear it on important occasions, saying that this can enhance his temperament.

As soon as you enter the train, you will be greeted by the smell of instant noodles feet and smoke, several workers are sitting together, Erniu and Uncle Li of the next village are not sitting, only Wang Degui bought a sleeper, after all, people are decent people, how can they be the same as Erniu, because there were people before, Erniu helplessly put the pig food bag under the seat, and sat on the spot, Uncle Li was lucky to find a place where no one sat down, accompanied by Uncle Li's son Li Hu, it is said that Li Hu is the only junior high school graduate in their village, Even the person is also oily and smooth, and there is a strong body of 1.75 meters with a beard Zhou Erwen, who used to be a soldier, and broke two fingers in his right hand, so there is a monthly state subsidy. There are also two brothers from Zhou Village, who look different at all, it is said that the younger one was cheated on by their mother when they were young, and their father was paralyzed in bed, the two brothers are quite united, one is tall and thin, and the other is short and fat. This is what people often say that good people don't live well. The two of them and Zhou Wen sat next to Erniu, Li Hu sat opposite the window, and there was a sexy aunt on the opposite side, which was not quite commensurate with the big yellow bucktooth pockmarks on his face, and the remaining one was a twenty-seven or eight-year-old man in a suit and leather shoes with glasses, leaning arrogantly on the seat and closing his eyes to recuperate, giving Er Niu the feeling that he was a cultural person mentioned in the book. As soon as he got in the car and sat next to Erniu, Erwen took off his cloth shoes, and he didn't wear a baby, a pungent smell came to his face, and Erwen picked his feet while talking to Li Hu, and the mud on his feet fell off Erniu's pants one by one, Erniu didn't care, and everyone else looked at it with disgust.

After a while, Wang Degui, who had put his luggage away, also came to see them, Wang Degui looked at a few people, pointed to Zhou Wen, and said: "Old Zhou, put on your shoes, don't lose the face of our township, it's okay to wash more when you enter the city, and the eyes of Erniu next to you are almost open." ”

"A farmer doesn't have the usual daughter-in-law who pays attention to this." Tuesday Wen said as he put his shoes on embarrassedly.

"Come on, it's time for dinner, are you going to eat a boxed lunch or instant noodles?" Wang Degui said as he took out the instant noodles he brought and distributed them to everyone, and then took a few points of the conductor's box lunch for everyone, probably knowing that Erniu ate a lot, he took two boxed lunches for Erniu, and patted Erniu on the shoulder and said, "Do it well, follow me, young man." Erniu just nodded in response. Li Hu on the opposite side had a family affair with Wang Degui and patted his ass.

Erniu took out seven or eight flatbreads from the pig food bag, and ate them while eating, and saw that several people next to him were stunned, how big is this person's stomach, it is simply a starving ghost reincarnated, more edible than a pig, and a little girl in the distance looked at her mother with cute eyes and said: "Mom, this big brother is so pitiful, he must have come from that disaster area, I will share my bear biscuits with him." ”

Which mother replied with a flushed face: "Don't meddle in your affairs, the landlord's family has no surplus food." ”

Erniu finished eating the box lunch, and was still a little hungry, so he had to soak a bowl of noodles, and then sat on the ground and ate instant noodles while eating instant noodles, and the aunt sitting opposite didn't know if it was too hot, and unconsciously pulled her skirt up, and happened to be seen by Erniu who was drinking instant noodle soup, and a mouthful of instant noodle soup mixed with broken cakes sprayed the opposite cultural person and aunt's legs.

"Ouch, what are you doing?"

Erniu was embarrassed to get up and help them wipe it with his hands, it doesn't matter if he wipes it, Erniu's hands are dirty, and the white stockings of the aunt and the trousers of cultural people are getting dirtier and dirtier.

"Where are you going? Yokel. ”

"Yes, I'm sorry Auntie, I'm sorry Big Brother."

"What's it called?"

"Do you know how much a suit costs? Can you afford to pay it? ”

"Big sister, little brother, the little child is not sensible, don't be like him." Tuesday Wen immediately took out the paper and handed it to the two.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou." Erniu stood beside him at a loss.

"You go and stand in the smoking area at the entrance of the toilet."

"Okay." Erniu put the cakes, took the uneaten instant noodles, and walked to the exit of the car.

When night fell, Erniu leaned against the window, calmed down, and felt this moment of tranquility, and the song sounded on the radio of the train.

Are you feeling tired

Such a mood

I've had it a few times

Maybe it's someone who breaks my heart

Maybe no one knows

I think you must be now

Very tired

Experiences in life are like wine

Some are bitter and some are fierce

Such a taste

Sooner or later, you and I will have to experience it

Maybe the wound was still bleeding

Maybe there were tears in the corners of those eyes

Now you let me accompany you

Have a drink

Cheers, friend

Just let it all flow

Take that past

Think of that past as a hangover

Tomorrow's wine glass should no longer contain yesterday's sorrow

Please raise a glass with me
