Chapter 42 Fat Sheep to the Slaughter 4
(This afternoon's history is newly pushed, ask for all kinds of votes and attention, support, don't sink it, thank you boss)
After the swallow came in from Simao, he didn't open his mouth again, and quietly pulled the coals under the casserole on the side, without raising his head, but silently listened to Wang Laodao and the other three eating and drinking, talking and laughing.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Simao put down his chopsticks, glanced at the swallow who was always silent next to him, and said to Wang Laodao: "I'll get together in your temple tonight, you prepare a bed for me." ”
"No need to talk." As long as Wang Laodao sees Simao, he will always carry this mantra: "You are neither my apprentice nor my son, you eat and drink and mix with my bed, I have never seen such a brazen person as you." ”
Simao said with a smile: "Didn't I learn from you?" ”
The two of them were arguing with each other, and Yanzi, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Brother Simao, Zhang Xiaowen can't eat and sleep well these days, and she is always wiping her tears behind her back, why don't you go home to see?" ”
Simao took a sip of wine to his lips and stopped unconsciously, glanced at Ma Qinghu with a silent face and said: "Qinghu, it's not early, it's hard for you, send the swallows back, the black light is blind outside, bring a torch and watch the road." ”
Ma Qinghu snorted, got up and pulled down a burning pine torch from the pillar, turned back to Yanzi and said, "Let's go, Yanzi, I'll send you back." ”
Yanzi looked at Simao who was indifferent, snorted hatefully, stood up like ice, stomped his feet, and rushed out of the temple gate angrily, Ma Qinghu hurriedly followed and broke into the dark night outside the door.
The hall immediately fell into a dead silence, and the remaining Wang Laodao and Simao did not say a word, a sip of wine, a mouthful of food and stuffy food, and the atmosphere of laughter and scolding just now was gone. Seeing that the dishes in the pot were all at the bottom, Wang Laodao was still like a gourd with a stuffy mouth, Simao finally couldn't help it, and said with a probing breath: "Why don't you ask me what I'm doing these days?" Why is there no news? ”
Wang Laodao looked like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform: "If you want to say it, you will naturally say it, I don't have to ask." If you don't want to say it, you naturally won't say it, and it's useless to ask. ”
Simao sighed: "Actually, there is nothing to say, it's just that I'm in a panic these days, I wanted to find a place to drink some stuffy wine alone, but I came to you unconsciously, it seems that although the world is big, except for you, an old liar, I really have nowhere else to go." Speaking of this, Simao himself laughed unconsciously.
Wang Laodao's pair of mouse eyes flashed faintly under the flickering torches, as if he could see Simao's heart: "Since it is for Xu San, you have to act in a full set, a manly man, and he is a real hero who can endure the pain." ”
Simao muttered to himself, repeating the old sentence like an echo of the valley: "It's the real hero who can endure the pain...... Endure the pain is the real hero........." He suddenly looked solemn, and said coldly: "Xu Sandao is not dead, I can't live a peaceful life in the mouth, and the three lepers and Liu Scar, there is a way in heaven He doesn't go, and there is no way to go to hell, and he provokes my Simao's head, this time I will seek justice for the deceived women and children and the bullied neighbors of Jubao Street." ”
After speaking, Simao raised the wine glass with both hands, looked at Wang Laodao with a pair of eyes as bright as stars, and respectfully toasted a glass of wine: "Sometimes I feel very close to you, and I can tell you if I can't say anything to my father, this time I just don't want to die, when you are old, I will give you a pension and send you to the end, if you die, I will give you linen and filial piety." ”
Wang Laodao laughed: "Then you have to keep your own life, otherwise, what you said today is not equivalent to fart." ”
When Ma Qinghu sent the swallow back to the homeless alley, the alley was already dark, and occasionally the barking of dogs sounded sparsely, and the lights were still on in Simao's house, when the two passed in front of Simao's house, they hesitated for a moment, and the door creaked open, and Zhang stood quietly by the door, his eyes were as if he had seen it, and asked in a low voice: "Is it a swallow?" Is there a letter from four cents? ”
"Yes, when will Simao come home?" Lao Zhang also echoed on the side, with a rare serious face.
Yanzi swooped for a moment, not knowing how to speak, Ma Qinghu said in a low voice: "Uncle Zhang, Zhang Xianxiao, don't worry, Simao asked me to bring the word back, he is inconvenient to go home now, let you don't worry, he will come back after this busy time, if someone asks or asks about anything, you must bite to death and say that Simao is not a weapon, and he is a good gambler, and he was kicked out of the house by you." As he spoke, Ma Qinghu took out a money bag from his arms and stuffed it into Zhang's hand: "Zhang Xianxiao, this is the money earned by the noodle workshop in the past few days, you have collected it." ”
Zhang's trembling Suo Suo took the money bag, opened his godless eyes, and held back his tears: "Hey..... good boy, you are all good children, Simao has friends like you, it is really a blessing that my Zhang family cultivated in the previous life." ”
"Zhang Xianxiao, we and Simao are brothers who cut off their heads and necks, you are the same as my own mother, don't say these words, you and Uncle Zhang should rest early, I should go back too." After speaking, Ma Qinghu turned around, held a pine torch, and disappeared into the boundless dark night with great strides.
Yanzi stretched out his hand and took Zhang's hand, it was early autumn weather, the heat faded in the night, the cold gradually rose, Zhang's hand was cold, and he grabbed Yanzi's hand tightly and whispered: "Yanzi, be good, tell me the truth, Simao is okay now, right?" Why doesn't he want to go home? Do you still hate his father and me as a mother? ”
Yanzi was silent for a long time: "Zhang Xianxiao, I saw Brother Simao today, he said that he would go home after this busy period, so that you don't worry about him, he is fine, he can eat and drink, and he has gained weight." It's late, and the dew hurts people after standing for a long time, so you should rest early. ”
Lao Zhang also persuaded on the side: "Rest early, Yanzi will go back early, or she should be scolded by her stepmother." ”
Zhang let go of Yanzi's hand, sighed and turned his head, plugged the door and went back to the house, Yanzi could faintly hear Zhang's voice in the dark, blamed him for causing such a big trouble, dragged Simao into the water, provoked Simao to hold a grudge, he was to blame, Lao Zhang was submissive, the voices of the two gradually faded away, until they disappeared, Yanzi looked at the dark door panel of Simao's house, and muttered: "Brother Simao, what are you doing here?" It's so bad that everyone worries about you. ”
When Liu Pumao broke into the hall in a hurry, he had an angry expression on his face, and before the person arrived, the voice came: "Xu San, you are fucking happy, didn't you hear what was going on outside?" What do you raise all these people for? ”
Xu Sandao is drinking tea in the hall with Liuzi, Simao, and the flower factory deacon Lao Yu is drinking tea and chatting in the hall, during this time, the days are indeed comfortable, a lot of silver is like a wave coming over, only to the purse, the various gambling stalls and the flower factory are also surprisingly smooth, and the people are also very powerful, Xu Sandao has begun to do the shopkeeper, only responsible for eating, drinking and having fun every day, and then pulling his brothers to eat tea and drink and brag, by the way, listen to the report, convey instructions, and do not forget to give orders. Seeing Liu Pumao's anxious white face, he smiled and said: "I said Lao Liu, who stepped on your tail, first gasp for breath before speaking, come on, show Liu Ye tea." ”
Liu Pumao was familiar with the way, and he was not polite, so he sat on the chair next to Xu Sandao, and the sixth son obediently held the tea cup and showed him the tea.
The deacon of the flower factory was very sophisticated, and he made a look at Simao, and the two got up and hugged their fists with Liu Pumao, and after singing a promise, they quietly retreated, leaving only Xu Sandao, Liu Pumao and Liuzi to talk secretly in the hall.
"Early this morning, I rushed a dark situation in the town without a backing, and brought back six or seven mallets, I wanted to torture and torture and squeeze some oil and water out, but I didn't expect that there was a family inside, who was a ghost who did not enter the street and lived by stealing chickens and dogs. I didn't expect that a trial like this would lead to a mistake........" Liu Pumao stopped talking when he said this.
Of course, Xu Sandao knew that this was the habit of the old rivers and lakes, so he said that half of it was left and half of it was installed, and he waited for the obedient person to hand over the ladder, so he took over the conversation with interest: "What is wrong?" ”
