(For @尾妞儿 Jiageng)

Luo Fugui walked away, the little carpenter and Qu Menghu stood on the bluestone street in front of the restaurant, listening to the man singing and leaving, gradually drifting away, and did not stay any longer, but felt that this person was a true temperament, and he would definitely be an extraordinary person in the future.

The little carpenter usually doesn't drink much, but he doesn't know how, he drank it today, but he didn't feel drunk at all, he only felt that the blood all over his body was hot, and there was a breath in his chest and abdomen stirring, that kind of pleasure and wantonness, which he had never felt over the years, he reached over, grabbed Qu Menghu's right arm, and then asked: "Old eight, old eight, I didn't feel anything in the past, but today, I suddenly feel that like Brother Naluo, he is really chic." ”

Qu Menghu reached over, grabbed his neck, invited him back to the store, and then deliberately glared: "What, do you think I'm not chic enough?" ”

The little carpenter waved his hand again and again, saying How come, I think, you and him are both chic.

Qu Menghu took the bamboo chopsticks, took out a piece of roasted sweet potato under the stove, carefully uncovered the blackened skin outside, and took a bite of the yellow and hot sweet potato meat inside, and sighed for fear of being hot, and waited to swallow it, and tasted it contentedly for a while, before saying: "You, you, like many people, only know that others are noble in front of others, but do not know that people will be punished later......"

The little carpenter said, "Who is not guilty in this world?" I'm not the same. ”

Qu Menghu said: "Speaking of which, I think your body is very good, why is your ability to fight with others getting more and more back?" We had a fight, and you scratched me in the face and almost made me cry. ”

When the little carpenter talked about the rules given by his master, Qu Menghu was a little disdainful.

He said: "The character is dead, and the person is alive—and the living will be suffocated by urine?" You don't talk about others, just talk about me, when I caught Zhou, my family invited the Mai god to tell my fortune, the man only looked at me, and said that my life is strange, imaginative, thirteen years old I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a disaster, I can't get over that hurdle. Later, when I was almost thirteen years old, my family wouldn't let me go out, afraid that something would happen to me, so I climbed over the wall in the middle of the night, and ran away directly to Nanyang, and guess what......"

He laughed, laughed for a while, and suddenly cried: "Paralyzed, Lao Tzu is fine, go home and take a look, the Qu family from top to bottom, men, women and children, one hundred and eight people, but none of them survived." ”

He opened his mouth, connected the ashes and carbonized sweet potato skins, and the hot sweet potatoes inside, swallowed them in one gulp, his eyes glowed like the tip of a knife, and muttered, "None of them survived, fuck ......"

Seeing that Qu Menghu, who seemed to be omnipotent, was sad at the moment, the little carpenter didn't know what to say.

Indeed, what has this brother experienced over the years?

He opened his mouth, just wanted to hold back some comforting words, but Qu Menghu's emotions came and went quickly, wiped his tears, and grinned: "Oh,, after this red lotus is roasted, the thief pulls it delicious, come on, thirteen, we haven't seen each other for a long time, don't mention this sad thing, you can also taste it." ”

After the two finished eating, Qu Menghu called Tian Laoqi to come to the account.

After finishing it, he asked the little carpenter, where is there a hotel in this town, he will make do there tonight, and then go to Liu's house tomorrow to fight the autumn breeze.

The little carpenter led Qu Menghu to the only hotel in the town, which has two floors, divided into front and back yards, a large shop on the first floor, which is commonly called a "carriage and horse shop", and a single room on the second floor.

The two have been separated for many years, and occasionally have correspondence, but they can't say a few words clearly, and they are lying on the wooden bed at the moment, talking about each other's experiences after separation.

The little carpenter actually has nothing to talk about here, he has followed the master to build houses everywhere over the years, and at most he can say some strange things encountered in ordinary things, but most of them are not dangerous, very bland, but Qu Menghu's side, his experience is much richer, he has been to Nanyang, and has been in the British colony of Hong Kong Island, has seen the world, and also went to Beiping to study - this kid is not serious about school, while learning while making trouble, making trouble, because of his leadership, the result is very famous.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Zhiyi treats him differently and invites him to play here.

Qu Menghu told the little carpenter about the Chinese and foreigners in Nanyang, about the architecture and customs there, about how he followed a missionary to run around in order to learn English and Portuguese, and about being a servant for others, and about the foreign monsters he had seen, a terrible evil thing that lived by sucking human blood, and about his business in Guangfu, where there was a military school, where aspiring young people from all over the country went to study, and also talked about how he went to Beiping to study, met many powerful people, and also worshipped the masters of the Northern School of martial arts to learn martial arts. He was well acquainted with a librarian at the Kyoto University Hall, so he went there to read books when he had nothing to do......

There are many book thieves in the university hall, and he reads without sleep or food, and he also skips classes everywhere.

In the limited life of the little carpenter, he is running around in the southwestern provinces, and he stays in the construction site all the year round, his world is the world in front of him, he thinks the world is like this, but Qu Menghu's narration seems to open a window for him, and he knows that there are so many interesting places in the world.

In this world, in addition to China, there are also countries such as the United States, France and England, the East was originally called Japan, but the South Sea is divided into many countries, and these places are the colonies called "Europe".

Europe, which is divided into many countries, has a thing called "science", which is far more powerful than China.

Qu Menghu said this, so that the little carpenter was amazed, he lay down, sat up again, sat for a long time, lay down again, and finally felt more and more excited, and couldn't help but say: "If you can go to Europe in this life, it will not be in vain." ”

Qu Menghu said disdainfully: "Actually, those foreigners are not a good thing - I am talking about their court, many individuals are still good, but the court is very vicious, they bullied Africa, that is, the Kunlun slaves we said, and they came to bully us Chinese, it is very hateful, but it is a pity that our people are not united, alas, ......"

He patted his thigh and couldn't help shouting: "Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest." Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, and he is empty and sad......"

Before the words fell, the customer's scolding came from the side: "What's the noise, in the middle of the night, the ghost is crying and the wolf is howling, don't you sleep?" Do you want to work tomorrow......"

The more the man spoke, the more angry he became, Qu Menghu looked helpless, and said in an echo: "I know, I know, don't say it." ”

Qu Menghu read the poem, his emotions were excited, his eyes were full of tears, he roared like this, he was immediately depressed, and said to the little carpenter: "Thirteen, don't say it, don't say it, let's sleep, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

The little carpenter has experienced so many things today, his body is a little overloaded, and he was emotional before, but he didn't feel it, but now when he said this, exhaustion came to his heart, he closed his eyes, and fell asleep unconsciously.

As soon as his eyes were closed and opened, the sky was bright, and the little carpenter stretched his waist, feeling that this was the most comfortable sleep he had slept in recent days.

He got up, found that Qu Menghu was not in the room, drummed in his heart, hurriedly walked out, heard a sound behind the house, he went downstairs, saw Qu Menghu in the yard, saw him washing and brushing his teeth, full of foam, the little carpenter stepped forward, and saw that the toothbrush in his hand was not the same as the one used on weekdays, and the tooth powder was also very advanced, and he brushed it gently, and his mouth was full of white foam.

After Qu Menghu rinsed his mouth, he told the little carpenter that this thing is a Westerner's toothbrush and toothpaste, which is used by Westerners to clean up oral hygiene, and it is very easy to use.

He took an extra set, went to his room and fetched it, and gave it to the little carpenter.

The little carpenter looked at it with astonishment, and looked at the structure of the thing, thinking that he might be able to imitate it.

After the two finished washing, someone came over, but it was Dayong, the son of Liu's house, who was entrusted by the second son to come and take a look, if the two got up, they went to Liu's house to talk.

The little carpenter had a dislike with Liu Fu and refused to go over, but Qu Menghu reached over, grabbed his shoulder, and whispered: "I know, you probably think that this Liu family is the fly and the Bodhisattva, and it has no personal taste, but there is no way to escape. ”

He persuaded here, and the little carpenter remembered the guys who stayed on the construction site of the Liu family's new house.

He was driven out like a wild dog before, and he never forgot it, and he couldn't rest assured, that's all, if he could get it back, he would always have the tools to eat.

The little carpenter didn't say anything more, and followed Qu Menghu to the Liu family's old house.

Probably for the sake of Young Master Zhiyi's face, Master Liu actually received these two people in the hall, of course, the most important thing is Qu Menghu - Master Liu is not interested in Qu Menghu and other new-style young people, but probably heard that Qu Menghu is also the number one person in Beiping, so he was more polite and chatted for a long time.

The little carpenter watched Qu Menghu and Master Liu talk eloquently from the side, without stage fright, and even able to dominate the topic, very envious, feeling that the change in his old partner was really great.

He has always been bold, but his ability has grown a lot.

After chatting for a while, Master Liu looked at the little carpenter next to him and said: "I heard about you yesterday, and I also know that your master has been wronged, but Wu Banxian didn't show up, no one can tell, the merits have to be decided by the poor people in the county, don't worry." “

The little carpenter was just about to say something, when someone outside shouted: "Old, master, Wu Banxian is back." ”
