Chapter 21 The master is here
Li Mo, who was still sitting in front of the stall watching the stall, held his head with his hands, Linzhi, Fang Si went for a while, and he didn't see the two of them come back with Xiaoxi. She has never been a talkative person, and since she was a child, she has been able to talk to her only about the person she used to be, and the current one who doesn't care, and she ignores her own thoughts.
The former is able to talk with her, and the latter is able to talk to her piece of wood alone, and the gap between the two is self-evident.
Every time Fang Si said it alone, she was listening, and Fang Si didn't care if she responded or not, and one person could talk for a long time. The strange thing is that she is also slowly getting used to it, getting used to the words that the man who used to talk to her now, getting used to the boy talking to her alone.
After Lin Zhi and Fang Si left, the uncle who sold apples next door also went to see his business, Li Mo looked at the direction of Lin Zhi and them, where the flow of people who had just gathered had gradually dispersed, she thought that the excitement had dispersed, and the two of them should come back with Xiao Xi. Thinking of Xiaoxi, Li Mo's heart swelled with an indescribable emotion of envy or expectation.
The girl just didn't come back after a while, and they were nervous as if they had lost their own child, and if it were her, would they be nervous too! Thinking of this, Li Mo had a hint of self-deprecation on his face.
She looked in the direction where the crowd had dispersed, and there was a fat man walking towards him with three people with sticks in their hands, "They must be the ones who just made that scene!" Li Mo thought, but she was a little curious about what they were doing here.
The fat man got closer and closer, and when she was about to pass their stall, the uncle who was selling apples next to her came to her: "Don't come up and win over the guests. The uncle whispered. Li Mo was a little curious but didn't ask much, but the uncle didn't say that she didn't plan to win over this group of people.
Although Li Mo didn't ask, the uncle still explained softly: "The fat man at the head is a well-known gangster here, who collects protection money on the back street. After speaking, as if he was afraid that Li Mo would be worried, he added, "It's okay, we don't belong to him, don't provoke them." ”
Li Mo nodded lightly, and with her intelligence, she had already guessed that the flow of people watching the excitement just now was related to the group of people in front of her.
When the fat man was about to walk through the stall with people, he suddenly stopped and sighed, and then waved his hand to signal the three people behind him to stop, and the fat man squatted down in front of the stall, glanced at the sign with the slogan on the side and pouted his lips with great disdain.
Li Mo glanced at Uncle Li, Uncle Li shook his head, and Li Mo didn't say anything but let the fat man squat and watch.
The fat man glanced at it roughly, lost any interest, stood up with one hand and clapped his hands and was about to leave, but before he could take a step, he stopped and stared at the edge of the most stall. Li Mo followed his gaze, and there were five or six combs there.
Uncle Yang said before that these combs were the first batch of wood products produced by the factory, which were boxwood, and Uncle Yang said that the main product of the factory was this comb, and this comb earned it the first pot of gold. It's just that the price of boxwood became more and more expensive, and the price of combs became more expensive, and the goods sold slowly became less.
After that, the comb that slowly did not make boxwood was changed to peach, and these combs were also the remaining handfuls, which were originally intended to be used at home, but now they are sold cheaply while a few people are setting up stalls, and Uncle Yang also specially told this comb that it cannot be cheap for a penny, and said that even if it can't be sold for its own use, it can't be cheap. said that this comb still carries his dreams back then.
The fat man squatted down again, reached out and picked up the comb, and rubbed it slowly like an old acquaintance.
This scene gave Li Mo goosebumps, and he thought to himself that this fat man still has a habit of collecting combs.
The fat man's hand stopped at one end of the comb, his fingers swirled slightly, and then he let go, and before he brought it to his face, his eyes narrowed into a slit, as if there was some treasure hidden in it. Suddenly, the fat man laughed softly.
This gave Li Mo goosebumps again, the fat man's nerves are not normal, what is on the comb Li Mo is very clear, there is no treasure and no carved flowers or the like, only a simple "Yang", Uncle Yang said that only the earliest batch of goods is engraved with the word Yang, at that time, he was young and frivolous and wanted his own things to be famous in the world with his surname, and then there was no "Yang" on the later things, Uncle Yang didn't say why, just sighed and said that they were all young and vigorous.
The fat man took the comb in his hand and stared at Li Mo without saying a word. Just laughing.
"Two pieces." Li Mo said lightly, then remembered Uncle Yang's previous words and added, "Don't bargain." ”
The fat man laughed as if he had heard some joke, "I, Liu Sanye, really haven't negotiated the price of buying things." ”
Li Mo pursed his lips and looked at the fat man without answering, Uncle Li saw this scene and walked over and stood behind Li Mo.
The fat man slowly stood up with one hand on the ground, playing with the comb in his hand and didn't look at Uncle Li staring at Li Mo and saying, "I asked you something, and you told me the truth." I bought all of them. What do you think. ”
Li Mo still didn't speak but smiled, and Uncle Li said on the side: "Ask, this kid doesn't like to talk, she knows so much that I know almost everything." ”
The fat man glanced at the middle-aged man and asked, "Where did you get this comb?" ”
"The comb belongs to an uncle of this child, who is about my age, and sends these children here every morning to sell goods." Uncle Li didn't think much about it, and thought that this fat man had taken a fancy to this comb.
The fat man sighed softly and then asked, "You said these children, so why is she alone?" ”
Uncle Li said without thinking: "Alas, I went over there to join in the fun, it should be fast..." Uncle Li suddenly realized that something was wrong and said, "Why are you asking so much." ”
The corners of the fat man's mouth hooked slightly: "It's okay, the monk can't run the temple if he can run, some people owe me something, and I collect debts." ”
Uncle Li's face was a little ugly, and he obviously realized that he seemed to have said something: "Whoever owes you something, find whoever goes, and put it down if you don't buy it." ”
"Buy, who said I won't buy it."
Li Mo suddenly spoke: "I won't sell it." ”
The fat man said with a smile: "I have never bought things at a price, and there has never been anything that I can't buy with Liu Sanye." After speaking, he smashed the comb on the ground, and the three people behind him instantly surrounded him.
Uncle Li said with a gloomy face: "Liu Erbiao, it's not your turn to go wild on this street!" Then he stepped forward and pulled Li Mo behind him, although the fat man opposite was a well-known gangster, but after all, he was only a child of eighteen or nineteen, although Uncle Li didn't want to cause trouble, he thought that he was enough to deal with this fat man, but the three little henchmen with sticks were a little troublesome. But now he can't care so much, he can't watch this little girl being bullied under his nose. In the future, it will be rumored that he, a man who is about to be forty, will not lose face.
Just when Uncle Li made up his mind to come to an old hero to save the beauty, a loud voice came.
"Liu Erbiao, the master is here!"
