Chapter 8: Come for the Last Night

The fat man entered the house with the gold in his hand, and raised it to the sword: "Come, stretch out your hand, and give it to you." The sword was so angry that it scurried all over the room: "Come again, I'll really chop you up!" ”

"You take it," the sword flew around and came to the fat man's ear, "as long as you promise to do me a favor, it's yours." ”

"What do I do for you, you say, I want to think."

"You~ take this piece of gold and feed it to the dogs......"

"Get out!"

"Hey, okay, okay, I won't mess with you, you, ...... like this" The sword commander said. The fat man nodded and agreed.

"It's almost dawn, you rest for a while, I have to go, I'll see you tomorrow night!"

"It's not...... Where can I find you? ”

"Wait for me to find you."

The sword flew out, and a strange wind swept up and closed the door. The little fat man took the gold in his hand and shone it in the candlelight for a while, and sat and thought: Is this a dream? Hi! Whatever! Let's get some sleep! Get up, put the gold in your arms, and go to bed. This night is enough to toss, close your eyes and fall asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, and the fat man felt that his body was light, as if his back had left the bed. Someone else whispered in his ear: "Heh, this fat man is really heavy." Someone else answered: "Less nonsense, less nonsense, hurry up." The fat man woke up, and when he opened his eyes, two young and strong young men were carrying him one after the other. Between the table and the door, a coffin was placed. Old man Chen and the other two young men stood in front of the coffin, and the old man also pointed and commanded: "Steady point, steady point, let in." ”

As soon as the fat man "hehe" stiffened, his bulky body fell to the ground, and the two young men who were originally carrying him jumped out of the small window. The fat man turned his head and looked again, and Old Man Chen was left alone in the room. The fat man got up, intent on teasing the old man, and walked towards the old man with his teeth and claws. sneered a few times and said, "Old man~Why don't you run~" Old Man Chen was so calm, he still didn't move, and when the little fat man arrived, he said: "I'm scared and weak, I can't move." You, you...... Is it a human or a ghost? The little fat man didn't pretend anymore, and sat down on the table with a "huh": "You old man is really good~ I said that everyone who came to the vigil had to go out sideways, and if you dare to do it, you can still put it in the coffin even if you don't lose your breath!" ”

Old Man Chen exhaled, bent his legs, sat on the bench, and pinched the little fat man's face: "Well, it looks like a living ...... Misunderstanding, misunderstanding~ I didn't expect this to be alive today. "The old man is also used to it, every time he comes here he sees a dead body, and he has to go back and ask someone to carry it away, and he is too old and weak to run back and forth, so today he went directly to the coffin shop and called a few young men to carry the coffin.

As soon as the old man spoke, the fat man remembered something, stretched his hand to the inside of his clothes, and froze. As soon as I touched it, I knew that there was one more thing than when I came yesterday - that piece of gold. The old man patted the fat man on the shoulder and laughed: "Okay, it's you." It's still yours tonight! ”

"Yes, if you don't let me come, I'll have to come." The fat man said in his heart. He took out the money given by the old man yesterday, put it on the table, and said, "Uncle Chen, I'm still here tonight, but it's ...... You'll have to find someone else, and I'll probably quit tomorrow. The old man said, "Why is that?" - It would not be strange if you said that you were afraid, and that you would never come again from now on; Why do you want to come again tonight, and why don't you come again after tonight? ”

The little fat man stood up and left: "Go, go, go out and talk." The old man thought that there was something he couldn't say in this cemetery, so he put away the money on the table and followed the fat man out. In fact, the fat man is dragging his feet: he promised the sword, and he can't say anything about last night, so he has to make up a reason to perfunctory it.

Don't look at the fat man who looks fat, he walks with the wind at this time, and he only cares about moving forward. The old man was far behind, shouting from afar: "Hey, hey~ Boy, slow down!" I won't be able to see you anymore! The little fat man came out of the cemetery, smiled, and turned back to wait for the old man. When the old man caught up, the fat man blurted out: "That's the case, old man, don't blame me for being sorry for you, look at me~ At this age, I should also find a good girl...... " The old man nodded, slightly regretful, and sighed: "Hey, it's so easy to find such a person...... Yes, yes, you're not too young, yes, you can't let a little girl live here with you, hey...... Why are you in such a hurry? ”

"No," the little fat man patted his stomach, "I can give birth to myself in two more years, who cares...... You say yes. Isn't this a godsend, there is someone who sees the right eye! People, this mouth is too much, if it is delayed for another two days, she will hear people on the street say that I am not good, that is not good, and the family is poor, isn't it scared away again. ”

"Yes, yes, you can marry a daughter-in-law like this, and God is blind for half a eye," the old man was unforgiving, but his hand took out the money and stuffed it back into the little fat man's hand, "You can come out of this cemetery and be considered to be destined for me, the money is yours when you give it to you, you take it and buy it, and then invite me to drink a glass of wine." ”

The fat man didn't shirk, took the money, and sent the old man back. Sent the old man back to the house, the fat man still had something to do, turned around, found a big silver shop, went in and sat down. He had a piece of gold in his bosom, but he couldn't do it. From ancient times to the present in our country, all dynasties and dynasties have not used gold as official currency circulation, and now we are all over the street wearing gold and silver, but it is also ornaments, or there are also people who love to buy gold bars and put them at home as collections, but there is no saying that they took a piece of gold out to eat and pay early! As now, if you want gold in your house, you have to find a gold shop and sell it for money before you can use the money to buy breakfast, and the gold on the fat man has to be exchanged for money before you can spend it. The ancients called money "coiling", and coiling refers to copper coins. Qin Shi Huang unified currency, should be said that the sky is round and the place is round, cast round square hole money, in order to measure well, it is generally customary to use a rope to hang a thousand coins in a string and then hang up, the rope that wears the money is called "through", so a thousand dollars is also called a hanging money or consistent money. Wrapping strings of copper coins around the waist is equivalent to people now taking their wallets out of the house, and this is called coiling, which is called coiling, and this is the currency circulating in the market - don't watch the TV series, walk on the street and take out the gold in your arms, which does not exist - this is as funny as if you go to the early shop and take out the gold to settle the bill. However, at that time, gold could indeed be taken out to be scary, because it was very scarce, and those who could take it out were either wealthy businessmen or officials, which could be used as a status symbol. How much is a piece of gold worth...... Due to the inevitable impact of the economic development process on the value of the currency, the exchange rate of gold and silver has been changing, but the average value is about 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver, and 1 tael of silver = 1000 wen, that is to say, one tael of gold is worth 10,000 wen!
