Ordinary people in the city, in order to seek one night and three meals, almost have to get up five watches, sleep in the middle of the night, and work hard to take care of the housework, so that the family can barely have a ration of miscellaneous grains and porridge, and a patch of clothes to wrap themselves. The hard days are slowly suffering, and the world has survived once, and it is hard until the day when you close your eyes that you can really take a break!

Aside from these ordinary people who are going through the days, they don't mention it, and they don't care about the wealthy Zhong Ming Ding Food, the night sheng song, not to mention the people in the underworld who don't walk the wind and the moon, steal the rain or not steal the snow, there are still people all the way in the city, and the serious life is one foot in the sun and one foot in the yin, living like a person is not like a person, and a ghost is not like a ghost!

Every day is not limited to morning or night, and when you open your eyes, it is the beginning of the day. Resting in the broken cotton wool and rotten quilt nest, the skinny skeleton was twisted like a fly maggot, and the slap like a chicken paw was first groped around at the head of the bed, on the pillow, and under the edge of the kang for a long time, just waiting for the brain to easily figure out what was in these realms and couldn't find anything, so he twisted his body and got out of the broken cotton wool, and lazily pulled a tattered dress covering the cotton wool and hung it on his body.

With a pair of broken shoes with exposed toes and open heels in the back, I had to shake three times to the side of the water tank outside the house, regardless of whether the broken water tank without even the head of the tank was stored in the water without roots or old leaky water.

is not confined to day and night, when he goes out, this master is naturally slipping over the wall and rubbing the corner of the house, a pair of dead fish eyes covered with eye feces Mu Mu is stunned and touches around, but anyone who sees a familiar neighbor and a neighbor who has taken a look at him can immediately pull a pair of broken shoes and come over, stretch out the pair of chicken paw-like slaps towards people, and grab a place regardless of sleeves and clothes. As soon as his knees were weak, he knelt down in front of the person, and with tears and snot boiling on his face, he went straight to the robe on the trouser leg of the person, and begged only a few eldest sons to send it away.

The unlucky man who had called himself to hug him threw the two eldest sons to the ground, and the master who had already called people back to his father countless times in his mouth immediately let go and rushed over to pick up the eldest sons and put them in his arms, ignoring the unlucky character behind him who hurriedly avoided himself, scolded his own eight generations of ancestors, and crawled straight to the alley on the street to find the cold water soaked in the cigarette paste and drank a bowl. This is half-dead, getting up and trying to figure out the spending.

As usual, the shabby clothes that people forgot to pack, the copper urinal resting in the corner of the door, the incense and candle heads enshrined under the small temple shrine in the alley, and the things that can be exchanged for money are all rolled and taken away. When you are lucky, you can strip off a drunkard lying down on the street, and immediately go straight to the white-faced restaurant in Sijiu City with a familiar face, and when you enter the door, you will first put the silver money in your arms on the counter, and hurriedly grab the white noodles in exchange for the white noodles and turn around and run to the dilapidated house.

Trembling his fingers, he snorted his nose, and the tobacco shredded from the cigarette butt was picked out of the freshly torn notice paper roll on the street wall. Mixed with the white noodles that he brought home as a life, he rolled them into a finger-long trumpet roll, lit a foreign fire and took a deep breath, and immediately screamed like a ghost in his throat, and his whole body was paralyzed as if he had no bones

After being too dazed and addicted, he tucked the remaining bit of white face under the pillow, pulled off his clothes and broken shoes on his feet, and the wild dog drilled into the dirty broken quilt like a hole and closed his eyes, and the day was over!

It's like the master who is addicted to smoking white noodles all the way. Sooner or later, he will not be able to escape the broken white face, and after becoming addicted to madness, he will hang himself and throw himself into the river, or he will die after going down with a mouthful of white face. In addition to those houses that open their faces and do unethical business, they can still take a look at them. Others had already taken this character as the living dead, and when they saw it from afar, they quickly took a detour, so as not to be contaminated with bad luck!

Looking at Chen Lezi who shrugged his shoulders and poked in front of the counter, and then looked at the twenty or thirty eldest sons who Chen Lezi had just rested on the counter, Sai Qinqiong's personal attendant Crushed Camel Master squinted a pair of slanted eyes and snorted a mouthful of yellow teeth. shouted at Chen Lezi with a high voice: "I said Chen Lezi, did you really treat this business opened by Sai Ye as a foreigner?" There are just twenty or thirty eldest sons, and more than half of them are water drifter money made by Tianjin Wei (Note 1), so you still want to smoke white noodles and enjoy being a fairy? ”

A camel master shouted and scolded, but Chen Lezi, who was standing outside the counter, seemed to have not heard the camel master scolding at all. Just sucking and clearing his nose, he bowed to the camel master, and said vaguely: "Camel master, you can do well, you can do well, you can get a mouthful."

Stretching out a finger, the camel master really didn't delay to look at things with a pair of slanted eyes, and picked out the more regular copper coins among the twenty or thirty eldest sons on the counter in three or two clicks, and swept it to the money box at the bottom of the counter, and then shouted to Chen Lezi who was bowing outside the counter: "I said Chen Lezi, I said that the camel master bullied you - the last time you took the hanging scroll painting for white noodles, some people who understand the market have seen it, and said that it should be a pair!" But if you can touch out the hanging scroll painting again, I am the master of the camel, and let you smoke it comfortably! ”

As he spoke, the camel master reached out and took out a tin foil bag the size of a little finger from under the counter and gently picked it open, and then took his little nail and picked a little white flour like sesame seeds on the counter, and gently knocked it on the counter, and shouted at Chen Lezi with his back face: "The camel master is happy today, and I will reward you first, and Ma Yuer will lick it for the camel master!" ”

Seeing the little bit of white noodles that the camel master knocked on the counter, Chen Lezi's eyes suddenly lit up, he almost jumped up and was afraid of being on the counter, stretched out his tongue to lick the little white noodles clean, and easily scratched the money that the camel master did not collect into his own hands, and whispered to the camel master with a salivating face: "The object that you look at, I mean that you have to touch the camel master when you die!" I think that my grandfather's generation was walking in the office as an errand boy, but the good things in the palace touched a lot of the family! Master Camel, you reward me again, and I will go home and take it for you."

Without waiting for Chen Lezi to finish speaking, the camel master standing behind the counter had already spit at Chen Lezi with a mouthful of thick phlegm: "Phew! You are a camel master who has just debuted, isn't it? Are you still counting on your grandfather, who has been dead for an unknown number of years, to come out and sell his face to the top tank? As far as the three generations of your ancestors and grandchildren burn big cigarettes, play tricks, and gamble on crickets, your family is the living emperor in the Forbidden City, and it is estimated that the family foundation should be lost! Ma Yoer rolls for the camel master. If you want to think about it again next time, you must remember to take the objects that the camel master wants! Otherwise, the camel master will smoke your bones and grind white noodles! (Note 2)"

Pushing and shoving, he coaxed Chen Lezi out of the white-faced restaurant, and a few green-skinned gangsters who were in the scene in the white-faced restaurant were very disgusted and spit a few mouthfuls at Chen Lezi who was lying outside the door, and then turned his head to the camel standing behind the counter and said with a smile: "Camel master, this is why you pity this Chen leprosy, otherwise." I'm afraid that this Chen leper has changed into a lying down on the street? ”

"That's right! It's just that the camel master, just a master like Chen Lezi, I'm afraid that the head of the family can be all the things that can be sold, and everything that can be sold has been sold, how do you know that this Chen Leper can still touch something valuable? ”

Staring at a pair of slanted eyes, the camel master snorted disdainfully: "Why don't you say that you are shallow and thin-eyed?" Just this Chen Lezi, although it is said that the three generations of the family are not worry-free, and the three grandparents and grandchildren are working hard to practice the family background, but now Chen Lezi's grandfather has smoked a lot and died. Two years earlier, his father also threw Yongding River in a sack because he grabbed a scene with someone and asked someone to put it in a sack, leaving only a lone seedling of Chen Leprosy! Looking at Chen Lezi's stunned and down-and-out posture at this time, it has always been that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, a rotten boat, and a three-pound boat nail! You see, in less than three days, this addicted Chen Leper may be able to find out what kind of good stuff he can figure out—hey, why are you back again? I really want to leave your camel master here to find a fight, right? ”

Still salivating with a dirty face, Chen Lezi, who had just called a few green-skinned gangsters to throw out of the door, snorted. Towards the camel master standing behind the counter with a cross-eyebrow, he snorted out a mouthful of yellow plate teeth: "Camel master, is this also a coincidence?" Although I don't have the scroll painting you mentioned on me today. But I picked up a treasure next to it! ”

didn't wait for the camel master to answer, Chen Lezi had already reached out and took out a dirty little burden from his arms, and held it on the counter in front of the camel master with both hands: "This is still something that my father won in the scene of fighting crickets with people back then, and he really owed two hundred oceans!" Master Camel, I don't want much if I leave you here, and you reward me for smoking white noodles here for half a month? It's done in 10 days."

didn't pay any attention to Chen Lezi's babbling words. The camel master standing behind the counter stretched out his fingers to untie the dirty little baggage, only glanced at the thing wrapped in the baggage, and immediately grabbed a piece of dilapidated painting wrapped in the baggage, and scolded Chen Lezi: "Chen Lezi, you are really tired, aren't you?" It's just such an old New Year's painting of Yang Liuqing torn down somewhere. Do you dare to pretend to be stupid and stunned as an antique slanderer? Yes! Today, I will fulfill you! I said a few brothers, call me! Hit it as it is! ”

As soon as the words fell, several green-skinned gangsters standing near the left side of the counter all rolled up their arms and rolled up their sleeves to rush to Chen Lezi's side, and they couldn't help but strike at Chen Lezi!

Familiar with his hands to protect his head, carrying his weak knees and squatting on the ground, Chen Lezi shrank in the corner of the counter and carried the kicks of several green-skinned gangsters, while pulling a pair of white-faced Yun Shaoyue who was smoked down, and shouted: "Camel master, camel master, I really didn't interrupt with you and cough, my father said, that thing is called a beast map, and it can be regarded as a treasure in Sijiu City."

"Hey, you're still talking to your camel master about the Three Emperors and Five Emperors of the Mountains and Seas, aren't you? Brothers, work hard! ”

Seeing that a few green-skinned gangsters had enough strength to open their black hands under Chen Lezi, and was about to throw the remnant painting in his hand out of the door, behind the camel master, Sai Qinqiong's gloomy voice suddenly came: "What are you messing about? The made a fuss and everyone in the private room heard the howl here."

"Hey, Master Sai, it's this bastard who came to the door to die, holding a broken paper as an antique for white noodles, pointing at us for it! You don't care about this, I'll tell my brothers to get this bastard out of here, and I can't disturb your peace anymore! ”

"Painting? What paintings? ”

"It's just a torn piece of paper, what kind of beast picture is it?!"

"Show me?!" (To be continued......)

PS: Note 1: Water drifting money, also known as trachoma money, goose feather money. At first, it was the Tianjin gangsters in the Guangxu period to the second brass private coinage, with Guangxu money in the majority, its thin as paper, almost can enter the water without sinking, the size is also much smaller than the regular copper coin, dedicated to bullying the market, forced to buy and sell when using. In addition, in the late Qing Dynasty, the officials were corrupt, and many coins minted privately by Tianjin gangsters were used in regular copper coins through the collusion of officials and profiteers, and the poison was more widespread.

Note 2: In the market legends of the old society, there was once a legend that a white-faced dealer would grind the bones of addicts who had been killed after smoking white noodles for a long time and mix them into white noodles for sale, and even derived a joke between addicts - you and I are smoking today, and it is not certain who smokes tomorrow
