Chapter 45: Darkness Chencang
Wang En heard the news brought by Shen Bing like a thunderbolt from the sky, at least in his plan, he had never been so prepared for surprise. He lay on the bed for a while, his mind still blank, and walked out of the courtyard towards the bamboo forest behind the house. A few turtledoves flapped their wings and chased, joking, and making trouble in the bamboo forest, and the fallen bamboo leaves slipped in front of his eyes without attracting his attention. There are a few craggy strange stones in the bamboo forest, which is a sacred place where he used to hide with his friends when he was a child, and the strange stones are naturally hollowed out into a work of art specially designed by the architect in the city park, and the strange-shaped hole can lead from one end to the other end not far away. The development of modern science and technology has produced a variety of new toys to replace the simple and natural way of childhood play, the original hiding hole has been overgrown with thatch, under the grass is the old hairy lackeys to eat the leftover animal bones. The moss that grew along the entrance of the cave along the top of the vines on the cave wall and covered all the corners of the stones, the moss had turned yellow, and the moss bottom was thick, which was a trace of the freedom left behind. Two house cats or night cats hid in the cave to steal joy, and their pleasure in seeking pleasure was disturbed by Wang En's sudden intrusion. The male cat should be the first to scream like a dog, and the animal nature that first signals to defend his mate should be the instinct of the male. The disturbed mother cat then let out a heart-rending howl, which contains a complex and mysterious color, which is difficult to describe in very accurate words. The howl of the cat washed away the blank in Wang En's mind, he felt that he should deal with this matter as soon as possible, the belly matter is not a trivial matter, at this time he should take responsibility for his own actions, and then think about it, since he is going to marry Shen Bing, why not just get off the donkey and push the boat down the river, just do what must be done in advance. Bamboo forests always give unexpected surprises.
Wang Xinghai seemed to have a premonition that something was going to happen, and he couldn't wait to come to Wang Xingxi's house to find him to solve the matter of the three chickens, two dogs, and one sheep that Mr. Shao asked him for. The courtyard door of Wang Xingxi's house is ajar, and the door gods and couplets posted on the courtyard door are hung on the damp door panel, and the feathers under the buttocks of a few hens with wings are stained with new and old chicken feces, and they are listlessly pacing and pecking at the vegetable leaves behind the door, and they have lost the favor of the sleepy rooster squatting on the woodpile mountain. Wang Xingxi sat under the eaves and held a two-foot-long bamboo cigarette pole and smoked a cigarette, and the blue smoke spit out from the pipe and his mouth at the same time, lingering in the courtyard. Seeing Wang Xinghai come in, he turned over the pipe and knocked out the cigarette residue on the ground, and by the way, he took out a large mouthful of phlegm (the nicotine content of unprocessed tobacco leaves is extremely high, which can stimulate the mouth to secrete a large amount of saliva). Wang Xingxi gave Wang Xinghai a seat, took a bench from the house, sat down by himself, and said, "Uncle He, is there something wrong?" ”
"If it's okay, don't come and sit down!" Wang Xinghai said.
"Why can't you! You can sit and sit at leisure. You Wang Laohai can still go to the Three Treasures Hall without incident! ”
"When did you say you could change your temperament, I'm your brother, and I plan to have my bones and tendons, and you're going to drive me away as soon as you meet, right?"
"The character was raised by my mother's biological parents, I can't change it, you met me on the first day, do I mean to chase you?"
"Okay, let's count me salty and eat radish and worry about it! It's your business whether you change your temperament or not, but if your brother is in trouble, you won't die without help, right? ”
"Am I that kind of person! Say, what's the matter? ”
"Brother and sister, they're not home?" Wang Xinghai looked around.
"They all went out to work."
"I'd like to get three thousand dollars from you first."
"Your family has a big business and you still borrow money from me!"
"It's not that you don't know, your sister-in-law is in charge of the money!"
"Then you can just talk to your sister-in-law!"
"Let's do it! You'll have to keep it a secret for me! Wang Xinghai gave Wang Xingxi a lewd look, and then said, "Isn't there two sand fields in my rotten ditch, and I work to hang water across the mountain, and the crooked mouth of Houtun Zhang Laoba doesn't have a dry field on this side of Xiaojianshan, and it is also the work of hanging the crotch. But his dry field is wider, and this turtle grandson is a Jin sect person, he said that he wanted to change the dry land of his Xiaojianshan one by one, and asked me to make up some money, so he agreed to change. I thought it would be a good thing to spend money on land, so I should do it. If you let your sister-in-law know that she will definitely disagree with this, you know that women have long hair and short knowledge, I want to change it behind my back and tell her again, even if she is blamed at that time, at most she will be scolded twice, and she can't help it. ”
"You've noticed it's crooked, what's your name...... Oh...... Hiding from the world...... Well...... No, it should be called Darkness Chencang. ”
"What a sea! Cang, I'll just make it convenient. You can't sue your sister-in-law until this happens! Even younger siblings can't say it. ”
"Am I the kind of person who chews the root of my tongue behind my back!"
"Then hurry, go get me the money."
"My money was originally saved for my little bastard to get married, and I haven't dared to move, can you pay it back to me before you use it?"
"Half a year at most"
"Half a year! What if one day that little king and eight lambs suddenly call for marriage! ”
Wang Xinghai thought, "Wang Ping didn't even have a girlfriend to get married, isn't he afraid that I won't pay it back!" It's really a debt account without a father and son, I don't know what you're thinking! Wang Xinghai continued: "Don't worry, as the saying goes, brothers still settle accounts!" First set and then not chaotic, half a year is the limit, and when the time comes, I will not pay it back, I will calculate it for you according to the bank interest. ”
"If your family doesn't have any interest, you can just use it." Wang Xingxi said as he got up and went to the house to get the money. Wang Xinghai counted the money, put it in his underwear pocket, and went straight to Houtun's crooked mouth and Zhang Laoba's house. Before going out, the hens who were pooping with their wings flew away, and the rooster on the firewood pile was also so frightened that he raised his neck and looked around inexplicably. On the way, I met Wang Xingxi's wife Jiang Sanmei and his daughter Wang Ying coming back from the ground, Jiang Sanmei was carrying a hoe, and Wang Ying was carrying a basket, which contained sweet potatoes that had been dug up and soaked out of milky white juice. Seeing Wang Xinghai, Wang Ying said, "Uncle, you are in a hurry, where are you going?" ”
"I was picked up by a dog just now, and I was shocked. I'll go and see if the rice in the field is dry. ”
After Wang Xinghai left, Wang Ying asked her mother, "Mom, is the uncle old and confused, it only rained yesterday, and today I went to see if the rice was dry!" ”。
"Don't talk nonsense, how can you talk about the old people like that! It must have been panicked by a dog. ”
