Volume 1: A Mess After the Crossing Chapter 66: The two thieves are going to fend for themselves
The words are divided into two ends, and now it's time to talk about Li Yinglong's two baby little brothers, Brother Ning and Fat Ball, otherwise it will be bad to forget these two bastards if they don't talk about it for a long time.
At this time, the two of them were sitting on the big bluestone at the entrance of the town, silently looking at a thick black cloud in the sky, and did not say a word for a long time.
Suddenly, there was a "gurgling" sound from the fat ball's stomach, and the fat ball hugged his stomach with both hands, turned his head and said to Brother Ning: Brother Ning, my stomach is screaming, let's go get something to eat.
Hearing this, Brother Ning glanced at the fat ball and said: We don't have a penny in our pocket, where can we get it.
Fat Ball Road: I know I don't have any money, but I can't go hungry.
After thinking about it, he then suggested: Why don't we go to the town and steal a chicken and roast it to eat?
Hearing this, Brother Ning shook his head and said: "It's not good, didn't the eldest brother warn us when he left, don't let us do that thing of stealing chickens and dogs again, we have to support ourselves, otherwise we won't recognize us as brothers."
Fat Ball scratched his head and muttered: Self-supporting, but what can we do?
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he shouted: "There you have it, I have a way."
Brother Ning was startled by the sudden shouting of the fat ball, and he glared at the fat ball angrily and asked: What way?
Fat Ball: A fat hand slapped Brother Ning's back vigorously and shouted: "Let's learn from the eldest brother and go to the mountains to cut firewood to sell."
Brother Ning didn't pay attention, he was slapped off the boulder by the fat ball, and then he fell to the ground with a front snatch, and then he jumped up from the ground and yelled at the fat ball: What are you doing, you want to kill me.
Seeing this, Fat Ball scratched his head with an embarrassed look and said: Brother Ning, I'm sorry, as soon as I was happy, I forgot that you are a person and not a stone.
Brother Ning swept the dirt on his body with his hand and said: By the way, what did you just say?
Fat Ball Road: I said, let's learn from the eldest brother to go up the mountain to chop firewood and sell it in the town.
Brother Ning glared at the fat ball and said, "You still want to be caught by those wild hairy people and used as monkeys."
Hearing this, Fat Ball shrank his neck in horror and said: Then forget it.
After a pause, he was very unconvinced: My idea doesn't work, then you have to think of one.
Hearing this, Brother Ning thought about it, and saw that his posture seemed to be really thinking of something, and after a while, he shook his head and said: It's really not good, let's go to the town to work for others.
Fat Ball was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy, and said: Yes, go to work, how can we be considered a celebrity in the town.
Brother Ning waved his hand to the fat ball and said: Let's go, go to the town and take a look, and see who recruits workers.
With that, the two of them pulled their legs and walked towards the town.
The two of them talked all the way to a shop in the town that sold souvenirs and stood down, and then the two shouted in unison to the shop: Hey, is there a living person in it? If there is, one will come out.
As soon as he exited, he was a gangster, and everyone dared to hire such a person.
An old man ran out of it tremblingly, and when he saw the two of them, he couldn't help but be stunned and said: Yo, it's the two of you, what do you want to buy?
Fat Ball Road: This old dad knows us?
The old man smiled and said, "Do we still know the two of you in Tiangui Town?"
Hearing this, Brother Ning said proudly: It's good to know us, we are here to find a job, old man, do you need people in your shop?
Hearing this, the old man was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: I'm sorry for the two of you, my shop is too small to be used, you can go to another house to have a look.
Fat Ball Road: You don't need people in your family, okay, let's go to another house.
Brother Ning said without giving up: Old man, you can think about it, it's your loss not to use us.
The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said: I think about it, I don't need anyone, please hurry.
Brother Ning waved his hand helplessly and said: Let's go, let's go, there is no master here, there is a place to stay here, let's go to another house.
The two continued to walk forward, and saw that there was a cloth shop not far away, Brother Ning said to the fat ball: Go, go to the cloth seller and ask, they don't need people.
At this time, a fat woman about thirty years old walked out of the shop, and when she turned her head to see the two of them, her face changed and she turned around and ran into the shop.
Seeing this, Fat Ball said strangely: Brother Ning, why did this girl close the door when she saw us coming, we are not wolves.
Brother Ning scratched his head and said: Maybe you think we are weasels, didn't we steal her three egg-laying hens in her backyard a few days ago and cook them.
Fat Ball nodded as if he understood: That's the case, but what if she doesn't open the door?
Brother Ning glanced at him and said: What else can I do, let's go, it's still the same sentence, if you don't raise a master here, you have your own place to raise a master, and then find another home.
The two of them walked on again.
In this way, they left one by one, and one family was rejected, when they came to the Tiangui grocery store without strength and confidence, they happened to meet the shopkeeper Wang who was walking out, and he looked at the two of them strangely: Yo, it's the two, why are you like frosted eggplants, and your spirit is gone, by the way, why haven't you seen the little brother Li who is with you these days to deliver firewood?
The two of them sat on the stone steps in front of the grocery store.
Fat Ball Road: Our eldest brother went out to run errands, and when he left, we were asked to correct our evil and support ourselves, so my brother and I decided to work part-time and find a job in the town, but no one knew that we would be needed.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper of the king jokingly said: You have all corrected and returned to evil, who dares to use you, you must change the evil and return to the right.
Brother Ning raised his hand and slapped the fat ball on the head and said: If you can't speak, don't say it, it makes people laugh when you say it.
Fat Ball rubbed his head that was hurt and said: I won't say what you say, but you don't say it.
Brother Ning said: Who said I wouldn't say it, I just wanted to say it, you rushed to say it, what else did I say.
The shopkeeper waved his hand to the two and said: Stop, stop, let me ask you, do you two really want to change your ways, stop stealing chickens and dogs, and support yourself?
Fat Ball Road: We must change, otherwise our eldest brother will not recognize us as brothers when he comes back.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Wang nodded and smiled: This is a good thing.
Brother Ning heard that there was a door, and hurriedly asked: Does the shopkeeper Wang want to use us?
Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly waved his hand and said: I have a small grocery store, but a relative of mine from other places came to our Tiangui Town a few days ago and set up a restaurant, he may need manpower there, if you are interested, go to him to have a look, and tell him that I introduced you, but you have to work hard, don't embarrass me.
Hearing this, the two of them jumped up from the steps and ran away.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper Wang was stunned and hurriedly shouted: Stop, stop!
Hearing this, the two of them hurriedly stood up again, and then turned to look at the shopkeeper Wang.
The shopkeeper said: Do you know which one?
Hearing this, Brother Ning scratched his head embarrassedly and said: By the way, why did you forget this stubble, shopkeeper Wang, which one is it?
The shopkeeper said: It is Fuyuan Restaurant.
Hearing this, the two of them ran away again.
When I came to the gate of the restaurant called Fuyuan Restaurant, I saw a middle-aged strong man in his forties, dressed in green clothes, cleaning in the Fuyuan Hotel, and this middle-aged man should be the owner of this restaurant.
Brother Ning and Fat Ball broke in.
As soon as he entered the door, he asked loudly: Hey, who is the shopkeeper here?
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at the two and asked, "Who are you?"
Brother Ning said: We have something to do with the shopkeeper, do you know where he is now?
The middle-aged man said: If you want to find the original shopkeeper here, then I'm sorry, he's not there, I don't know where he went, if you are looking for the new shopkeeper here, I am.
Hearing this, Fat Ball said happily: Your father didn't say it earlier, we are looking for you.
The middle-aged man was stunned and asked, "What is the matter with me?"
Brother Ningdao: I heard that you are recruiting people here, and we are here to apply.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at the two and asked: How do you know that I am recruiting people here.
Fat Ball Road: It was the shopkeeper of Tiangui Grocery Store who told us that he asked us to come.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: My cousin asked you to come, that's okay, I still lack a runner here, who will do it?
Hearing this, Brother Ning and Fat Ball said in unison: I'll do it.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said: I only need one, and the two of you will discuss it to see who stays.
Brother Ning said: My brothers and I never split up, can't we all stay?
The middle-aged man smiled and said: I only need one running hall here, you can only keep one.
After a moment's pause, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and then said: By the way, the coffin shop in the east of the town may also recruit a man, and the rest of you should not go there to try it.
Hearing this, Fat Ball hurriedly said to Brother Ning: Brother Ning, you go to the coffin shop, I am timid and afraid of the coffin.
Brother Ning glared at the fat ball and said: If you are afraid, I am not afraid.
Fat Ball immediately complimented: Brother Ning, I know you are bold, you have made a bet with people that you are not afraid to go to the mass grave alone at night, are you still afraid of the coffin.
Hearing this, Brother Ning immediately felt that he was very heroic, and said with his head raised: What is there to be afraid of in the mass grave, okay, I won't fight with you, you stay, I'll go to the coffin shop.
With that, he pulled his legs and walked out.
