It was surprisingly hot, like a fire. Xu Si walked out of the hut and stood under the sun, his scalp was hot and painful, and his whole body immediately seemed to have fallen into a cave: there was no wind, but the heat wave came from all directions, and the sweatshirt that had been soaked with sweat immediately dried up, turning into a hard and colorless hard shell on his body.

"This ghost weather, I want to heat up Lao Tzu!" Xu Si raised his head and shouted to the sun in the sky, but he helplessly lowered his head and walked into the house, took a straw hat that looked like a sieve, buckled it on his head, walked out of the door dejectedly, and walked towards the east of the village.

The earth far away is vast, the boiling heat keeps tumbling and steaming, twisting and seems to devour everything, the leaves on the big locust tree at the entrance of the village have long been polished by the hungry villagers, even the slightly tender bark has been stripped away, and everywhere the branches of the white forest are steaming and twisting in the heat. After three years of drought, the grains are not harvested, and if the drought continues, there will be no way to live this day!

Xu Si walked out of the entrance of the village, all the way to the east, came to the boundary river, stepped on the pebbles of all sizes and walked towards the river, the sun through the hole in the straw hat Xu Si's scalp was painful, and his feet seemed to be walking on a hot pot, those stones of different sizes and colors were burned red by the sun, and the feet were burned through the shoes on Xu Si's feet that were full of holes.

Finally walked to the middle of the river, the former rushing boundary river is now less than two feet wide of the water surface, the black water seems to have stopped flowing, meandering quietly lying there, Xu Si squatted down, both hands to pick up the water, the water seems to be boiling the general heat, Xu Si can't take care of it, he drank it to his mouth, the fishy and smelly water went down his throat and immediately overflowed along the roar of hair, the body seemed to have become a sieve, and there was no trace of water left.

It's really not fun to drink, Xu Si simply knelt on the ground, pouted his ass and put his mouth into the water and drank a stomach, then raised his head and took off his straw hat and washed his head and face, but he didn't feel cool at all, stood up and put on a straw hat and was just about to leave, but the corner of his eye saw a flash of silver light on the black water, and looked at it: but it was a small fish of more than an inch, floating quietly on the water surface, Xu Si grinned, stretched out two fingers and pinched the small fish without even looking at it, and stuffed it directly into his mouth. A mouthful of fishy stench. Xu Si stared at the river for a long time with hope on his face, and then he turned around and walked towards the village.

When I was about to reach the head of the village, I saw a man in white clothes and white pants standing under the big locust tree and fanning the pu fan, and his short and fat body happened to stand in the shadow formed by the main trunk of the big locust tree.

"!" Xu Si scolded in his heart: "Your father and I are not dead, with filial piety!" Bah! Xu Si took a sip from afar, and when he got closer, he took a closer look but didn't know him, and was about to bow his head and walk over, but he called the man in white and shouted, "Is this the fourth master?" ”

Xu Si stopped, looked at the oily face of the man in white, and looked back and forth, left and right, and made sure that there was no one else except the two of them before asking, "You talk to me?" "That's not the case." The man in white grinned and said with a big toad smile: "Aren't you the fourth master Xu of Xujia Village?" I'm just talking to you! Xu Si's head was a little dizzy, he had grown so big, and it was the first time he had a relationship with this master, and he felt a sense of weakness in his heart. I couldn't help asking, "Do you know me?" ”

"Know, know." The man in white was full of smiles, and the flesh on his fat face was almost trembling, so he continued: "Who in the entire Beizhao County doesn't know the fourth master, the fourth master sticks a knife in the ribs for his friend, and he is righteous and affectionate, that is an out-and-out real man!" Big husband! ，”

"Are you talking about me?" Xu Si was a little annoyed, is this fucking boasting about himself or hurting himself? He stared at the man in white and said viciously, "Who are you?" Nothing to fool me around? Isn't it a beating? ”

"In the lower Du Liu." Du Liuyi hugged his fists and continued: "The people of Dujia Village in the north have heard the names of the four masters, and they have come to recognize the door." ”

"Du Liu?" Xu Si frowned, he really couldn't remember the person in front of him, so he couldn't help frowning and asked, "You came to me to talk these?" ”

"Where, where." Du Liu said as he approached Xu Si, first turned his head and looked down, and said softly: "There is a big deal, looking for you to sum up." "What?" Xu Si asked with a puzzled face: "What big deal?" ”

Du Liu smiled mysteriously, stretched out his hand to pat Xu Si's shoulder, and whispered: "Fourth master, this is on the street, there are some things that can't be said, why don't you go to your house?" ”

After speaking, Du Liu turned around, shook the pu fan, and walked away step by step, Xu Si had to follow behind, I don't know if it was an illusion, there was a fragrance from Du Liu's body, so that Xu Si couldn't help but growl in his stomach.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Xu Si's thatched hut, Du Liuyi bowed down and walked in, the thatched hut was very empty, there was nothing, only a dirt pit, and a pile of tattered clothes and shapeless bedding were piled on the broken mats on the pit.

"Oh, tsk, the fourth master lives this kind of life? It's so embarrassing for you. Du Yun said with an indignant face.

Xu Si ignored him, walked straight to the edge of the kang, sat on the edge of the kang, looked at Du Liu with his eyes, and opened his mouth to say: "Say, don't talk about useless, what kind of big deal?" ”

"No hurry, no hurry." As he spoke, Du Liu took out a yellow straw paper bag out of nowhere and handed it over, shaking the pu fan lightly with one hand, staring at Xu Si without blinking.

The fragrance is stronger, a little pungent, Xu Si stretched out his hand to take it, and couldn't wait to open the paper bag, a yellow and clear roast chicken with a fragrance appeared in front of him, Xu Si looked up at Du Liu with some surprise, Du Liu's fat face seemed to be able to drip oil, and said flatteringly: "Eat, fourth master, eat." ”

Xu Si picked up the roast chicken with both hands, opened his mouth wide and took a bite hard: the greasy fragrance in his mouth reached his whole body from his tongue, and the comfortable Ling started to tremble.

After only a while, most of a roast chicken was eaten by Xu Si, "Fourth master, you eat slowly, you can taste this again." As he spoke, Du Liu handed over an ocean glass bottle, which was full of wine, Xu Si took it, he didn't even think about it, he raised his head and took a big sip, and when the wine was drunk in his mouth, it was like a fire burning to his throat and stomach, and all the sweat on his head came out. Choked Xu Si coughed repeatedly. Du Liu hurriedly reached out and patted him on the back, while saying, "Slow down, slow down." ”

Seeing that Xu Si had almost eaten, Du Liu said to Xu Si: "Fourth master, are you afraid of death?" "Death?" Xu Si's head was a little dizzy, and his tongue was a little embarrassed and said: "Lao Tzu is poor and only has this life left, what are you afraid of?" If you're really dead, won't you be a good man again in twenty years?! ”

"Good! Fourth master! Du Liu's fat bulging body jumped off the edge of the kang like a ball, and said excitedly: "What I'm waiting for is your words!" ”
