"What's going on here?" The old camel looked into the house and said.

"Help this girl, are you still finished?" Zhang Fat replied impatiently, "Don't stand there and play poor, smiling at me." ”

The old camel let out an exclamation, and rushed forward to rescue the girl, and the clever ghost followed his mentor had already walked in, and he hurriedly put a package on his back on the floor, and snatched a bottle from the hand of the false young master who walked in on his heels, and in a blink of an eye he had pulled out the cork with his teeth, tasted the contents of the bottle first, so as not to make mistakes, and then poured some into the patient's throat.

"You fan her a few breaths of fresh air," the false young master commanded, "and when you untie your petticoat, old camel, you clap her hands." ”

These coordinated first aid measures were carried out in full swing, and the results were achieved with little effort. The girl gradually regained consciousness, staggered to a chair beside the bed, buried her face on the pillow, and let Mr. Zhang, who was somewhat surprised, deal with the three uninvited guests.

"Yo, what kind of evil wind brought you here?" He asked the old camel.

"It's not an evil wind at all, an evil wind won't bring any benefit, I brought a little good thing that you see and be happy about. The clever ghost unpacks his baggage and hands the fat man the little thing we spent all our money on this morning. ”

The clever ghost, as old Mr. Camel had instructed, untied the large parcel of old tablecloth he had brought, and laid the contents on the table one by one, boasting about how rare and wonderful they were.

"What a chicken patty," the clever ghost asked him to show him a large pie. "What a tender leg, those bones melt in the mouth, and there is no need to pick them out. Green tea is so thick that if you brew it with boiling water, you will definitely fly the teapot lid. The sugar is a little damp, and the color is a little worse—a pound of the best fresh meat, and a bottle of Jiannanchun"

The false young master took out a large bottle of wine from one of his huge pockets, which was tightly stuffed with a stopper, and in the blink of an eye, a full glass of pure alcohol had been poured from the bottle, and the sick man did not hesitate to drink it with his neck tilted.

"Ahh The old camel rubbed his hands contentedly and said, "You can withstand it, you can withstand it now." ”

"Stand it!" Zhang Fatzi shouted, "If I just knock me down twenty times, you won't help me." It's been more than three weeks, you hypocritical bastard, leaving me alone in this situation, what do you mean? ”

"Little cubs, look at what he said." The old camel shrugged his shoulders and said, "We have brought him so many good—east-west." ”

"It's good," Fat Zhang said, glancing at the table, his anger slightly subsided. "Tell yourself, why did you leave me here? These days, I'm in a bad mood, my body is broken, and I have no money to spend, all of them, but you keep leaving me alone, and you don't even think I'm as good as that dog. ”

"I've never seen such a fun dog," shouted the fake young master, and drove the dog away at Mr. Zhang's request. "It's like an old lady going to the vegetable market, she can always smell what she eats, and she will definitely make a fortune when she acts on stage."

"Don't make any noise," Zhang Fatzi roared when he saw that the dog had retreated under the bed, but was still barking angrily. "What else do you have to say, you shriveled old nest master, huh?"

"I've been out of Conch City for over a week, and I'm going to do something." The old camel replied.

"What about half a month?" Zhang Fatzi asked the bottom of the question, "You left me in this place, like a sick mouse lying in a hole, what happened in the other half a month?" ”

"I can't do it," replied the old camel, "and I can't explain it in detail in front of people." But I really can't do it, I guarantee my life. ”

"What guarantee for you?" Fat Zhang shouted in an extremely disgusted tone, "Huh." Which of you boys, cut a slice of pie for me, go and get the taste in my mouth, his words can really swallow me. ”

"Don't lose your temper," said the old camel, "I have not forgotten you, not once. ”

"None? I don't think you have any," Zhang Fatzi replied with a wry smile, "I'm lying in this place, shivering and having a fever every hour, you're thinking of bad ideas, coming up with bad ideas, let me do this, do that, as long as I get better, let him do everything, no matter how cheap it is, I'm poor enough anyway, I have to work for you." If it weren't for this girl, I would have died. ”

"You see," the old camel hastened to seize on this phrase as a shield, "if it weren't for this girl." Except for the hard-working old camel, who can help you get such a good girl? ”

"He's telling the truth." Ah Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Let him go, let him be." ”

As soon as Ah Zhu came forward, the conversation took a turn of direction. The two teenagers received a strange look from the cautious old camel, and began to toast her vigorously, but she drank with moderation.

This kung fu, the old camel pretended to be interested, and gradually made Mr. Zhang Fatzi feel better, the old camel pretended to take Mr. Zhang's intimidation as a gag, and then, Zhang Fatman drank more wine, and also gave him face, told a vulgar joke or two, and the old camel hit haha, looking very happy.

"It's pretty good," said Mr. Zhang, "but you'll have to get me some cash tonight." ”

"I don't have a single kid with me." The old camel replied.

"But you have a lot of money at home," Zhang Fatzi replied, "I have to take some of it." ”

"It's more money!" The old camel threw up his hands and cried, "I don't have enough to have—"

"I don't know how much money you made, and I dare say you don't even know yourself, it takes a lot of time to count," Zhang said, "Anyway, I want money today, so don't talk nonsense." ”

"Alright, alright," said the old camel, sighing, "I'll send you the clever ghost back." ”

"You won't do this kind of thing," Zhang Fatzi replied, "The clever ghost is a little too clever, he either forgot to bring it, or he got lost, or he can't come when he meets the police, there are excuses both horizontally and vertically, as long as there is your command." Or Azhu went to the nest over there to get it, and everything was safe. She went to Kung Fu, and I lay down and took a nap. ”

After much bargaining, the old camel lowered the amount of loan demanded by the other party from five oceans to five eldest sons.

He swore that by that time, he would have only eighteen copper coins left to support his family. Zhang Fatzi said with a straight face that if he didn't have much money, he would have to make do with it. So, Ah Zhu prepared to accompany the old camel to the house, and the clever ghost and the fake young master put the food in the cupboard.

The old camel said goodbye to his intimate companion, and went back with Ah Zhu and the two boys. At the same time, Mr. Zhang Fatzi fell on the bed, relieved to sleep until the girl returned.

They arrived safely at the old camel's dwelling.

"No one has been here?" The old camel asked.

"There aren't any ghosts," replied the cripple, tugging at his collar. "It's boring, it's the same as leftover wine. You're going to have to get something to look good for me, old camel, I've been looking at your home for so long. I'm bored, and if I hadn't had a good temper and the heart to relieve this young man's boredom, I'd have gone to sleep, and I'd be sleeping as heavily as I was in Newgate Prison. I'm bored to death, and if I tell nonsense, I won't die well. ”

The lame man let out such and such exclamations of the same type, and at the same time vividly put together the money in his hand and stuffed it into his vest pocket, as if such a big man as him did not take such a small silver coin in his eyes at all. When the money was placed, he walked out of the room in a grand manner, with a graceful and elegant demeanor, which caused the lame man to cast envious glances at his boot-clad legs, until he could no longer see.

He assured everyone that it had only cost fifteen and six copper coins to meet such a man with a head and a face, and he thought it was not expensive at all, so he did not take the money he lost with a flick of his little finger to heart.

"You're such a weirdo." The fake young master amused this statement and said.

"Not at all," replied the lame, "am I not strange, old camel?" ”

"You're very clever." The old camel said, patting him on the shoulder, and winked at the other two apprentices.

"Clever ghosts! It's time for you to get to work. Come on. It's almost ten o'clock, and I haven't done anything yet. ”

Following this hint, the two teenagers nodded to Azhu, put on their hats, and left the room. The Clever and his optimist buddy are having fun along the way, telling a lot of witty things.

"Listen," said the old camel as the two apprentices left the room, "I'll go get you the money, Azhu." The key was on the pantry, and it contained some bits and pieces from the boys, dear. My money is never locked because I don't get anything to lock up, dear. Hahaha! Nothing needs to be locked. It's a drudgery, Azhu, and it's not flattering, I just like to see young people around me. I have to endure everything, I have to endure everything. Hush! He said in a panic, shoving the key into his arms. Who's that? Listen! ”

The girl sat at the table with her arms crossed, as if she wasn't interested in the slightest, or didn't care if anyone came in or out, or who it was, when a man's whisper reached her ears. As soon as she heard this, she quickly tore off her soft hat and towel, and threw them under the table. The old camel immediately turned around, and she whispered that the weather was hot, and this lazy tone was in stark contrast to the extremely flustered and swift action just now, but the old camel did not notice at all that he had just turned his back to Ah Zhu.

"Phew." The old camel whispered, as if feeling unlucky. "The man I made an appointment with, he came downstairs to us. When he was here, he didn't say a word about money, Azhu. He wouldn't stay long, not more than ten minutes. ”
