Chapter 10: Heading North (2)
After a meal, Xue Liang and the others chatted a few words, took a sip of tea, and went to sleep. Shi Bin, a night owl, never wanted to go to bed early and get up early, and was still fighting against sleep.
But in this slightly decadent, silent hall with a light like a bean, Shi Bin finally couldn't bear the drowsiness and staggered into the room.
It's a house, but it's more like a warehouse, full of debris and dead grass. He didn't even know how to walk to the bed, and it seemed that he could step on anywhere but not everywhere.
In fact, this Chase bunk is a 'bed' with a wide wooden board that is more than ten or twenty meters long. Strictly speaking, it can't even be called a 'bed', but it's just a couch that sits directly on the ground. And when you touch it, it staggers, and it still doesn't make that creaking sound when you sit on it, as if you are about to fall apart if you are not careful. There is also some hay on top to keep out the moisture, and you can prepare your own quilt.
I couldn't help but see the migrant workers working on the construction site on TV in my previous life, and they fell asleep when they lay down on the bunk after dinner, which did not make people feel bad.
And Shi Bin now finally has a vague concept of Chase Shop. He misses 'squeezing the oil dregs' with a few classmates when he was a child, so in the eyes of this guy who seriously lacks social experience, sleeping here is quite exciting. It felt like seven or eight people were crammed into a bed that was only big enough for five people to lie down, and it seemed quite intimate.
I really got on this Chase shop, but I couldn't flip left and right, and I couldn't sleep. What's even more unbearable is the smell, which is worse than the smell of sweat on the bus in the middle of summer. The smell of sweat, bad breath, fox odor, foot odor, and a pot of stew. He knew that he was wrong again, and that he had been fooled as he had been in the mountains, not with the intimacy of expectation, but with the unbearable crowds and smells of all kinds.
Although his rough boy didn't really care how delicate he was, and his face was often covered in beard and sweat, the room was a mess. But he had never had such a heavy experience, and these in the room made him gag for a while, but he didn't dare to really vomit.
Finally, Shi Bin was tired and couldn't struggle, and he had to wake up at the moment when he was about to fall asleep. Cramps!
How can this be! Doesn't this fool me! An unwilling howl erupted in his heart, and what flashed out of his mind was a muscle strain, although this disease was not a serious illness, but it would seriously affect the execution of this mission.
I was so anxious that I immediately tried to stretch my legs, lest I would not be able to recover from the excessive strain overnight, which would lead to me having to give up halfway. If that's the case, you're missing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to express yourself.
As a person who is still somewhat educated, of course, I know that it is definitely useless to worry about nothing, and I must solve this problem calmly.
My mind is full of ways to identify and deal with muscle strains. Because muscle soreness and muscle strain are very similar. If it is a sore muscle, the massage can have a significant effect, and if it is a muscle strain, it must be solved in a regular way.
I recited the words 'muscle soreness' in my heart, and gently massaged the cramps in my calves. It was a blessing from God, and it didn't take long for the pain to be reduced a lot, which means that it was not a strain, but just ordinary muscle soreness. This made his hanging heart finally let go again.
But these made him really a little broken, and he couldn't sleep all night, while several of his peers slept soundly and dreamed sweetly. This huge contrast made him feel the hard work of Xue Liang and his own squeamishness and incompetence.
The next morning, everyone got up and was in good spirits, but Shi Bin had deep dark circles under his eyes. He knew he was looking like a giant panda now, but fortunately, men didn't laugh at him.
Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had expected this result a long time ago, and Xue Liang didn't dig into the reason, but just cared about asking how his spirit was, whether he needed to rest for another hour or two, anyway, he was really not in a hurry at this moment.
Shi Bin couldn't explain the reason, so he could only nod silently. However, I was still very grateful to Xue Liang for saving face for him, and did not laugh at him in public.
"That's right, you are a mountain dweller, and you are used to the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, where have you ever had such an experience. I'll be surprised if I can sleep well! Xue Liang smiled and explained to the rest of the guys with puzzled faces.
After hearing this, the rest of the people also looked like they suddenly realized, but they didn't make fun of Shi Bin's inappropriateness, and they all said that they were the same when they first started. Zhao Gang said with a smile that he even went to the living room to sit for the night.
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and they also joked with each other, but then Zhao Gang suddenly said: "No, Brother Shi's mountain goods can't be sold out in a day, right?" I have to stay in the town for a day or two, and then go back to the mountain that day? ”
Xue Liang couldn't help but show an appreciative smile after hearing this, and seemed to be very satisfied with the progress of his subordinate, and said, "Shi Bin, you can explain it to him." ”
Looking at several companions around him who also wanted to know why, Shi Bin explained with a smile:
"Zhao Gang, these mountain people in my door still have some friends under the mountain. When you go to the city to sell mountain goods, you usually live at the homes of relatives and friends. Every time, I brought a few pheasants and hares as a reward. It's safe and clean, and it doesn't cost you all that money. ”
Indeed, those relatives and friends who have not seen meat for a long time, of course, will not refuse to provide such help. Hearing these people, Zhao Gang also said that if it were him, he would like to have a few more relatives like this. It is also implied that if they are still alive after the war, they will move to live under Shibin Mountain. Such a rectum has never been able to hide his words, and when he said this, everyone thinks that these five big and three thick guys are also a little cute.
Because he took care of Shi Bin and set off an hour late, he was a bit of a hurry this morning, so he went straight ahead without saying a word, and didn't even stop to make a point.
In the afternoon, it was not so fast to rest while walking, and Yi Jun still looked like he didn't speak, and everyone was used to ignoring him directly.
Maybe I feel that if I go all the way like this, I don't have any communication and are not familiar with each other, which is definitely not good for doing this 'business'. Xue Liang said that he wanted a few people to communicate as much as possible, and since the leader said so, of course he had to do it. So Li Chao and Liu Xiao also came to Shi Bin and set up a dragon gate array. Xue Liang took Zhao Gang's words to the front to open the way. Yi Jun's sullen gourd still bowed his head and was silent.
"Little brother Li Chao, this is my brother Liu Xiao. Brother Shi and Brother Wang are fortunate to be together, and they are fortunate to be together. The two smiled and hugged their fists and saluted.
Shi Bin was a little flustered by Li Chao's opening remarks, he had just met, he was so polite, and immediately replied: "Brother Li is polite, where does Shi dare to be the word 'big brother', it torments me." ”
"Deserved, deserved. At first, my brother was just going to go his separate ways with you after this journey, but now he wants to at least keep in touch with Brother Shi and Brother Wang. ”
Shi Bin can understand this, of course he also hopes to be able to contact each other, multiple friends and multiple paths; But it's also a little interesting, maybe once the deal is over, they will have to go their separate ways and never see each other again.
Wang San smiled and said, "Didn't you hear what we and Zhao Gang said yesterday?" ”
Li Chao and Liu Xiao nodded to indicate that this was indeed the case. From the conversation they heard between the two brothers, Zhao Gang and Shi Bin, the two believed that the Shi Bin brothers were trustworthy. They are no longer so cautious, hypocritical, and abusive.
It's all about talking and laughing all the way, but it's also very enjoyable. It took a few days for Li Chao and the others to reveal that they were not ordinary fishermen, but water bandits who did no business in Dongting Lake, and they had to run to Jingzhou to take refuge because they offended the leader.
Shi Bin actually understands that in this troubled world, there are few serious people. If you don't engage in some crooked ways, you won't be able to fill your stomach. I remember the example of "going up the mountain for bandits, and going down the mountain for the people" in my previous life, which is nothing more than saying that when there is food to eat, the people are peaceful, and they go up the mountain to rob the road when they are hungry.
couldn't help patting the two of them on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The two brothers don't have to be so careful, it's the way of the world." When Wang San and I went down the mountain, we met mountain bandits, and they were just poor people. Xue Huochang definitely knows where you come from, it should depend on whether you are still called by loyal and reliable people, right? ”
These words are reasonable, which naturally makes them feel a lot more relieved. As the saying goes, long live understanding, there is no discrimination to gather people's hearts.
Wang San said with a sly smile on the side: "Although you are water bandits, you are so cautious, so naturally you will do things safely. What's more, at the beginning, you didn't say half the truth, just prevaricated us. The mouth is really tight. ”
Li Chao and Liu Xiao smiled embarrassedly after hearing this. The two obviously admired Shi Bin's actions, and it was really righteous to have such actions in such troubled times.
What's more, although the bandits are vicious, they are the most righteous, Shi Bin and Wang San also put their minds at ease and communicated with the two of them.
