Chapter 85: One gold in prosperous times, one meter in troubled times

I watched a few wild cats surrounding a fish, whispering and scratching, and in a short time they ate the whole fish.

Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help but look at the woman who had already walked into the alley.

For a while, my heart was touched.

I can't put it into words, I always feel that this woman is different from the ones I've seen.

This difference has nothing to do with posture and gender.

Step into the alley.

Listening to the depths of the alley, there were bursts of pipa sounds.

"I didn't do anything at the beginning of my life, and after I was born, Han Zuo declined. The heavens are unkind, and the earth is unkind, so that I ...... at this time."

The woman's singing voice is tactful and melodious, like an empty valley orchid.

However, the song sung by the woman herself could not be understood.

What a descendant, what a chaotic separation, I don't understand what it means.

It's just that the bleak and sad emotions in the song are like magic in the ears and penetrate into the chest, which makes people sound very sad.

For a while, he stood in front of the door, following the voice, and listened quietly.

"The beacon fire at the head of the city has never been extinguished, when will the battle of the frontier stop, and the murderous spirit will rush to the gate......"

The faster the singing becomes, the faster it is, no longer a sad voice, but more of a voice of resentment.

A pipa clanged, and the sound was like a golden knife and iron horse.

Until the end of the song, a sense of grief and indignation turned into a long and unfading lament.

"I am bitter and resentful in the sky, although I am widely affected, it should not be tolerated......"

"Shhh

Standing outside the door, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, listening attentively, and there was a kind of sadness in his heart.

The singing fell, but under the agitation of the heart, it could not be calmed down for a long time.

It took a while to gradually calm down the emotions in my heart.

Looking at the closed door in front of him, Ding Xiaoyi stretched out his hand and wanted to knock on the door

But after his palm was raised in mid-air, he couldn't remember what he should say for a while.

It is said that in this case, according to the standards of the trade union, as an external editor, you can leave here and make a phone call to report it.

In this way, you will also get a valuable bonus.

In fact, it's just a spirit-level psionic creature, even if it doesn't use the power of a meat ball.

It's enough to deal with it easily on your own.

Just as he was struggling, "Da ......" A rush of footsteps came from the alley.

Ding Xiaoyi took a step back, and his figure disappeared in the air for a while.

"Bang bang bang! Sister Tao, hurry, save people! ”

A middle-aged woman banged desperately on the door, and it didn't take long to see the door open.

The woman still had water stains on her face, as if she had just washed her face, and she hadn't had time to wipe the water droplets clean.

"Sister Juan, what's the matter, you slow down!"

"It's too late, it's too late, those people in Caowang suddenly came to collect rent today, our family, if we can't take it out for a while, he will use my daughter to pay off the debt!"

"Isn't it the day to collect rent today, why do you come to collect rent today?"

"But no, I'm in a hurry, Sister Tao, you can lend me some money, and when it's the end of the month, I will definitely pay you back!"

"Wait!"

The woman went back to her room and took out a purse, which contained about six or seven silver dollars.

Looking at the money in the wallet, after hesitating for a few moments, he handed the purse to the woman in front of him.

"Thank you, I'll definitely pay you back at the end of the month!"

As she spoke, the woman ran out with her purse.

"Hey!!"

The woman caressed her stomach with her hand, sighed, and walked back to her room.

Just as she was about to close the door, the woman suddenly seemed to notice something and glanced at the corner where Ding Xiaoyi was standing.

"Strange!!"

When she saw that there was nothing in the corner, the woman pouted and closed the door again with a lazy expression.

And so it went on for about three or four days.

Ding Xiaoyi can't count the exact number of days, because the time here is very unstable.

Sometimes in less than five or six minutes, the sky turns from night to day, and quickly from day to night.

During the period, the Shanghai Song and Dance Hall was actually closed.

In fact, if you think about it, this is also your own reason, just ask a bunch of corpses to send back, it is estimated that the owner of the dance hall is enough to choke.

If you are yourself, you will also close your business for a period of time to observe the situation.

It's just that there is no source of livelihood, and women's lives are even more difficult.

As for the woman who borrowed the money, there was no news for a long time.

Let's get started, the two fish that were owed before.

But when the fish is finished, the woman can only sell some of her jewelry.

From beginning to end, Ding Xiaoyi stood aside silently as a viewer.

Until night, a man crept up in front of the woman's door and knocked on the door.

Then the thief glanced around.

Ding Xiaoyi took a closer look, isn't this the old guy who sold vegetables before?

I'm old, and I touch what to do in the middle of the night.

"What are you going to do!"

When the woman opened the door, she saw the old guy smile and take out half a bag of millet from his arms.

"Let's run out of food! Is there anything else of value at home? I see that you haven't gone out in the past two days, I'm afraid you don't have anything to eat, what's the use of drinking cold water, it's for you! ”

The woman looked at the old man's half-sack of millet in a daze, and her stomach was already screaming.

"Take it!"

The old man looked at the woman, his eyes were shining, he stuffed the millet in his hand into her arms, and wanted to hug her.

At this time, Ding Xiaoyi finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Reaching out and pressing the old man's shoulder, he pushed the person away without waiting for the old man to react.

"You! Who are you? ”

Looking at Ding Xiaoyi, who didn't know where he came from, the old man's face changed, and he was a little angry and wanted to get up and reason with Ding Xiaoyi.

Ding Xiaoyi ignored him, but put his hand into the rice bag.

As soon as I grabbed my finger underneath, I saw that under the rice bag, there was sand and stones underneath.

It turns out that the so-called half a bag of millet is just a thin layer on top, which is estimated to be able to make a bowl of gruel.

Seeing his plan exposed, the old man's face flickered for a moment.

Annoyed and angry, Ding Xiaoyi: "You! Okay, you really can, wait! ”

As he spoke, he got up from the ground and walked.

As he was leaving, he suddenly remembered something.

Turning around and cowering, he walked up to the woman and snatched the bag of rice mixed with sand.

looked at the pale woman and smiled coldly.

"Hmph, you don't want this rice today, tomorrow, you don't even have a cake, a few years of neighborhood, who do you sell it to is not selling, you are a phoenix with a falling hair, and you are not as good as a chicken!!"

As he spoke, the old man turned and left.

The woman stretched out her hand, but the old man had already walked away, so she could only put it down weakly and looked back at Ding Xiaoyi.

took a step back and opened two steps away from Ding Xiaoyi.

"In the past few days, you have been downstairs with me for so long, and I don't know what you are trying to do, but if there is nothing else, please go back!"

"You know I'm downstairs at your house?"

Ding Xiaoyi was stunned, it was impossible for her stealth skills to be hidden from an ordinary woman, how did she know herself?

The woman shook her head: "Although you are hiding, but as soon as I go out these days, I feel that someone is following me, especially when I sing, your eyes tell me that you are outside the door, but I can't see you." ”

Ding Xiaoyi suddenly realized that there was no problem with her stealth technique, but she had inadvertently stared at the other party's gaze so that the other party would notice her.

It seems that this woman is more acute than she thinks.

Ding Xiaoyi nodded, and regardless of whether the woman stopped in front of him, he strode into the room.

"Actually, you don't have to lend money to others!"

Walking into the room, there is basically no extra furnishings in the room.

If there is only one thing that is still valuable in front of me, it is a wooden dresser.

At this time, a wooden lute appeared in his sight.

Awaken the spiritual energy, and after converging in both eyes, a ray of fluorescence is born in the pupils.

When his eyes swept over, he saw that there was a wisp of spiritual light on the wooden pipa.

"That's right, it's this lute!"

Ding Xiaoyi has already determined in his heart that the parasite is this pipa.

And the psionic creature created by the pipa is afraid that it is the woman in front of her.

"What can I do if I don't borrow it, the girl in their family is still studying in a public school.

If you are dragged over to pay off your debts, you will be sold into a kiln, and your life will be ruined.

You can't be like me, you can't do anything but sing and play the piano, you can't do anything. ”

Seeing that Ding Xiaoyi didn't plan to leave, the woman didn't urge him to leave, leaned against the threshold, and said weakly.

"But they didn't come to pay you back, did they?"

"I don't have the money to pay back, I can't sell other girls into the kiln like those people in Caowang!"

The woman said, sitting in front of Ding Xiaoyi:

"This master, if you want to have fun, you can give me food, you can play as much as you want.

If you want to persuade people to be good and want to find someone to talk to, you can't send it away! ”

After listening to the woman's words, Ding Xiaoyi frowned for a while: "If I don't show up just now, you will also sell that little bit of rice?" ”

"Sell, why don't you sell, if I sell it, I can still have a bite to eat, if you don't sell it, do you still plan to support me?"

Ding Xiaoyi was speechless for a while, even if he was a veteran of the love scene, he came into contact with all kinds of women.

But there has never been such a thing as this, so intuitive.

"Hehe, young master, a woman in the prosperous world has a bucket of gold, a woman in the troubled world has a bucket of rice, I don't even have a bucket of rice now, I just want to live, if I don't sell it, will I starve to death!"

The woman's voice was soft, but her words were so sharp.

He is just an ordinary person, and his family will never treat him badly.

He has a lot of time to put his energy into having fun.

Although I like the modification of machinery, it is a skill after all.

In addition, in his own era, no matter how poor he is, as long as he is willing to endure hardships, no matter how difficult it is, he will not starve to death.

Even if you are a beggar and kneel on the ground for a day, you can earn a lot of money.

As for the woman who has fallen into the dust......

Is there one?

Yes.

It can even be said that there are a lot of people.

But they're just in it for money, for fun.

But here, as the woman said, if you don't sell it, you will be starved to death.

But it has all come to this point, this woman actually lent money to others.

Born in troubled times, these four words are just four words in textbooks.

But what kind of troubled times this troubled world was, it was not written in the book, but today, he saw it.

For a while, Ding Xiaoyi had mixed feelings in his heart, stood up silently, reached out from his pocket, took out a loaf of bread, and put it on the table.

"Excuse me!"

Ignoring the woman's surprised eyes, he walked out of the room.

He walked quickly, and his mind couldn't help but think of when he had just entered this supernatural space.

The little girl with her bare feet.

A rich and gorgeous dance hall.

Those thugs who wear black clothes and treat human life as a mustard.

This made him even more tired of this era.

Suddenly, Ding Xiaoyi's ears moved, his eyes swept away, and behind the door in front of him, he heard the voice of the old man just now.

It's not loud, but you can hear it clearly.

The old man said that he was a neighbor, but he never thought that he lived only through a few doors.

"Sister Juan, you can watch carefully, if that little lady goes to you during this time, you will grit your teeth and can't return the money to her!"

Ding Xiaoyi was stunned, why is this Sister Juan's title so familiar.

Isn't it the middle-aged woman who ran to borrow money?

Thinking of this, he simply stopped and listened carefully.

Sure enough, I heard the voice of the sister Juan: "This ...... Old Wu Tou, this has been dragging on for so long, this continues to drag, this is going to kill people...... I can't afford it. ”

"What are you afraid of, I'm here, this thing can't be forked, and it's not that you are not allowed to return her, it's not okay later!"

The old man said, and then turned to the two drinking people next to him called Hanako and said, "You guys, you will sing it to me on the street from tomorrow, you look at the words, how to come to be a lowly one!" ”

"Master Wu, don't worry, we are very clear about the pickling in the streets and alleys.

is now making up and singing, even a yellow flower girl can arrange for you to be the head card of the hair salon. ”

The two of them asked Hanako to eat and drink, and they were very happy, patting their chests and reassuring.

However, the old man's face turned straight and said coldly:

"Fuck off, didn't Lao Tzu ask you to give her admissions, you want to arrange it, just say that he stole men, mainly for those old ladies in the neighborhood, understand!"

"Yes, yes, yes......"

Seeing this, the old man sneered and sang in his voice: "You are the monkey, and you can't run out of my palm!" ”

Stand outside the door.

Ding Xiaoyi's face flickered brightly and darkly, and he couldn't help but feel a tingling of his scalp.

How can this person be so hateful!

His eyes were gloomy for a while, and his eyes suddenly couldn't stop flashing with cold light, and he slowly took off his gloves......
