Chapter 191: A Circle
Chen Si, who had a beard, was entrusted by the brothers to take a raft across the river and return to the west bank to buy bastards. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The floating island itself is downstream of Qingshanzui, and it floats two miles more downstream after crossing the river. Chen Si held the round piece of money for a helmet, sweating on a hot day, feeling like he was going to be fainted by the sun.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Who is it?" ā
Chen Si was startled and hurriedly replied, "From the third battalion." ā
"Password?"
"Long Xingchang."
Two people spun out in front of him, and one of them took the three-eyed gun to himself.
"Big brother, are you guarding the floating island?"
"yes. Who are you? ā
"We are the militia of Qingshanzui Township. Big brother, you take this. ā
The militia took out a green wild fruit, rubbed it twice on its body and handed it over.
Chen Si took it unceremoniously and took a big sip.
Sweet and sour, Chen Si's brain is much refreshed.
"Anything else? Hand it all over! ā
"Yes." The militia scrambled to pull out four or five wild fruits.
"It's all for the eldest brother, what will we eat in the future?" The other militiaman was somewhat hesitant.
"Big brother guards the floating island for us, what's the matter if we're hungry."
"That's it!" Chen Si deliberately raised his voice roughly, "Lao Tzu can't say when he will go to see the king of Hades, are you reluctant to eat a few broken fruits from you?" ā
"Big brother, you take it all."
The militiamen, who had been a little hesitant before, stuffed all the fruits in their pockets into Chen Si's helmet.
"You are sensible." Chen Si muttered in a low voice, and then raised his voice: "How is Long Xingchang going?" ā
"Go down here for two miles, and then go west."
Chen Si gnawed on the wild fruit all the way and pondered all the way, this long Xingchang's face was big enough. As soon as it opened, the font size became a password, and I couldn't even think about it.
After walking through a group of people who were dozing on the ground, Chen Si came to a place after walking a short distance.
There are four poles stuck in the grass, and a reed mat is propped up on the pole, and the goods are placed in the shade of the reed mat.
But there are two such reed mats not far away, and there is no one in either of them. Which one is the bastard Long Xingchang?
Chen Si didn't dare to walk in, this melon field was caught by the owner and framed himself, but he couldn't tell.
Two more steps to find that there is still a reed mat, fortunately there is someone here.
In the shade of the reed mat sat a napping woman, who looked to be twenty-three or four.
"Girl!" , Chen Sisi greeted loudly.
The girl woke up with a thrill.
"Sister, let me ask you, how is Long Xingchang going?"
The girl straightened her clothes, "Oh, there are three words on the front door." ā
"Why doesn't anyone look at the shop?"
"It's too hot, it's all gone. Does Big Brother buy or sell things? ā
"What, you can still sell things here?"
"Oh, that's right. If the eldest brother wants to buy something, he can go to Longxingchang. The goods are all priced, a circle is a dollar, and the eldest brother takes the goods himself and puts the money in the money jar. ā
"If the eldest brother sells something, he will go to the shop opened in Qingshanzui Township next to Longxingchang. Put the things down, and if you want to sell a few yuan, you can see if you sell them tomorrow. ā
"Girl, what are you selling here?"
The woman had nothing under the mat but herself.
"I'm here to mend people's clothes, oh, and leave them to be washed. Big brother, your clothes are torn, do you want to make up for them? ā
Chen Si hadn't touched a woman for half a year, so he looked at no one around, "Okay, sister, you can make up for it." ā
The woman let Chen Si sit down, took out the needlework dustpan, and began to mend the big hole on the shoulder of Chen Si's shirt.
Chen Si sniffed hard and searched for the woman's taste. "Girl, why did you think of doing this business?"
"The livestock was robbed by Aixinguo, the man died, and I couldn't live with a five-year-old doll. The new Uncle Geng arranged for me to wash and earn food here. ā
"Where is the girl?"
"I used to live outside the mouth of the tiger, but now I am a native of Dajin."
"What about you, big brother?"
"Oh, I'm from Gaizhou. Homecoming regiment, three battalions. It's called Chen Si. What do you call a girl, in the future, I will ask the brothers to come to you to sew and wash. ā
The woman hesitated, "Fourth Brother Chen just calls me an embroiderer." ā
"Sister Xiuniang, let me ask you, what's going on with the bastard sold by Longxingchang?"
The embroidery lady lay on Chen Si's shoulder, bit the thread with her teeth, and tied a knot. Chen Si felt that his whole arm was numb.
"Fourth Brother Chen, it's also broken under your arm, can you make it up too?"
Chen Si didn't even think about it, "Make it up, make it up together." ā
Chen Si raised his arm and smelled a puff of stinky sweat from himself.
Xiuniang said while doing her work: "Those eggs were laid by the big turtle, and Changsheng Township gave them to Tabu Bag." Tabu Bag let everyone taste the freshness and sold it for money as military expenses. ā
"It's not sold out, is it?"
Fourth Brother Chen laughed, they are all poor people, who is willing to exchange fifteen catties of millet for an egg? There are many people who ask, but there are no people who pay for it. Early this morning, the three battalions and the sailors were paid, that is, the business of Longxing was good, and our two shops have not yet opened. ā
Chen Si was relieved.
"Xiuniang, you're right, you can't spend money on life. But then again, for us masters, we can only eat and swallow in our stomachs. ā
"The fourth brother is guarding the camp on the floating island?"
"Well, there is a life of today and no tomorrow!"
Xiuniang leaned down and bit off the rope.
Chen Si was impulsive.
"Fourth brother, just these two openings can't be a circle, does the fourth brother have other places to make up?"
"Sister, you let my brother kiss one, and I will give you a circle!"
Chen Si pounced violently.
Xiuniang shook her head left and right and pushed and kicked, "Fourth brother, don't, I'm calling someone." ā
Chen Si had already succeeded, pinched Xiuniang fiercely, wiped the saliva on his mouth, and laughed and dropped a circle.
Chen Si entered Longxingchang.
The goods were neatly arranged, from a round bundle of artemisia seeds to fifteen round bastards, all lined up.
Chen Si walked straight to the money jar, and there were more than a dozen circles scattered inside.
Looking around to see if there was anyone, Xiuniang was sorting out her clothes in a panic, and Chen Siyi grabbed the circle in the jar and threw it into the helmet.
Chen Si looked at the most expensive bastard, picked it up and shook it, glanced at it through the light, smelled it, listened to it, and put it back.
Pots and pans, reed mats, and reeds are picked up one by one, and they play for a while before putting them down.
Finally, in the first circle, the white and chubby plaster statue is quite interesting.
Pick it up lightly, turn it over and see that the stomach is empty, and scratch it with his fingers, leaving a deep Daozi, Chen Si hurriedly wiped two handfuls to make the Daozi look inconspicuous.
Putting back the plaster statue, the old man carved in plaster looked at himself with a smile, as if he had seen through his own little tricks.
Chen Siyi dropped the plaster statue one by one, making the old man turn his back to him.
After taking a few steps, Chen Si thought that it was wrong, the deep hole was on the back of the plaster statue, and he turned around and straightened the plaster statue again.
"Fourth Brother Chen, please go back, it's only a circle. The old man Bai blesses you with the evil and the good fortune and the disaster will not die. ā
Chen Si was taken aback.
I turned my head and saw that it was an embroiderer.
Chen Si hurriedly perfunctory, "No money, no money, my money is all bastard money made up by the brothers, they just want to eat well before they die." ā
The embroidery lady walked to the money jar and took out the circle from her waist.
"Dangchang" sounded.
The embroiderer waited a day under the sun before opening, and threw a circle into the jar with humiliation.
The embroidered lady bowed to the plaster statue and took the statue down and put it into Chen Si's helmet.
"Fourth Brother Chen, I know where your three camps are. In order to protect us, you have given up your lives, and you must go back to keep us safe, old man white. My man's surname is Chen, and he walked on Hexin Island a few days ago, so you and your brothers take care and come back alive. ā
After the embroidery lady finished speaking, she dodged and retreated.
Chen Si sighed twice, and raised his voice suddenly, "Sister, I'm sorry about what happened just now, I only care about myself." ā
Xiuniang had already retreated to a safe distance, "If that just now can make Fourth Brother Chen feel at ease before going into battle, I don't blame you." I just ask Fourth Brother Chen not to be like that in the future, if I do that again, I will have no face to be a man. ā
Chen Si suddenly had a fever under his beard.
Everyone has a face, do you have a face?
No one supervised, Chen Si actually counted the money seriously by himself.
Dozens of fifteen rounds, take a bastard.
Dozens of fifteen rounds, take a bastard.
I took all the bastards, and there were no less than twenty circles in my helmet.
Chen Si breathed a sigh of relief, and poured all the circles in the helmet into the money jar in one go.
At that moment, Chen's waist was particularly straight.
The next moment, Chen Si regretted it, "Her grandmother's has lost a lot." ā
Chen Si began to take money from the money jar again, one, two, three, five, six.
It feels pretty much the same.
Chen Si deliberately threw one more back.
Chen Si calculated that he had spent all the rounds and added them all into wild duck eggs and milk lumps.
Before leaving, Chen Si specially went around to the embroidery girl's shop, and felt a fever under his beard.
"Girl, I'll really compensate you."
Chen Si grabbed a handful of milk lumps and put them on the embroidery lady's needlework dustpan, "This is for dolls." ā
After speaking, Chen Si didn't dare to look at the embroidery girl's eyes, and ran away.
