Chapter 283: The Old Woman Gnaws on the Bark

It seems that the waiter is here to pick up people! The fat man sighed, folded the color page of the real estate introduction in half, put it in his pocket, and couldn't help but be stunned when he looked up, and his lips opened into an "O" shape. Why is that landscape map missing! Instead, there is a scene of a few children in ancient costumes jumping out happily!

The waiter followed his gaze to the painting.

"You seem to be interested in this painting?" The waiter was a little curious.

"You just changed the painting?"

"Change the painting? No? The waiter shook his head.

"What I just saw was a landscape painting, how did I become a child in ancient costume in the blink of an eye?" The fat man glanced at the waiter.

"Sir, take a closer look, this painting is a landscape painting!"

Looking at the waiter's stunned expression, the fat man turned his eyes to the painting again, only to find that the simple black and white landscape was still hanging there!

"It's weird! I," the fat man licked his lips and looked back as if he had just woken up from a dream, and looked at the waiter, "This is really a hell of a life!" ”

The waiter smiled politely, "It's okay!" I think it's probably the light! Sir is out of sight! ”

The fat man nodded slightly, "How much does this painting sell for?" ”

"This painting is not meant to be sold, sir! This is borrowed by our boss, and we still have to return it after the sale. If you really want it, I might ask for you."

"Oh, no need!"

The waiter should have seen the fat man's embarrassed look, and the words that came to his mouth were swallowed back alive.

"You want to?"

"I don't buy it, I just want to know where this painting came from!" The fat man looked at the painting intently.

"Well, I don't know! I'll just sell the property, sir! Are you here to see the property? It's really interesting to go to the sales place and ask the price of the painting. ”

"What's wrong? Isn't that possible? ”

"We are here to sell real estate, not an art exhibition! Moreover, these paintings should also be imitations! It was our boss who borrowed it to make an ornament! ”

"Oh, that's it! So how much does it cost for you to build this building? ”

The fat man swallowed his saliva, and realized that this was definitely a sentence that didn't go out of his head at all.

The waiter glanced at the fat man, isn't this man making trouble! Said with a little disdain: "Lou? You're not mistaken! We are on a flat basis, and the cheapest one we have here is also 8,000 per square meter. ”

"Eight thousand per square meter?"

"Hmmm! The average price of houses in this area is more than 14,000! 8,000 per square meter is the cheapest we have here! The location is not so good! ”

Really poverty limits my imagination!

The fat man's heart was like being whipped hard by a whip, and he felt the pain caused by injustice!

Seeing that the fat man didn't speak, the waiter thought he didn't understand, and then explained: "Our house here is already the cheapest!" ”

The cheapest!

Always emphasizing to herself the cheapest, what does she mean?

It's obvious that you look down on yourself! I don't think I can afford to spend that much money on this house! The fat man felt that he was humiliated, and he was very displeased, but after thinking about it, what people said was not wrong, he couldn't afford it, and he was still talking nonsense here!

Thinking of this, he didn't say anything more and stood up.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and a man in overalls, with slightly gray hair and a gentlemanly face, walked over, followed by two people.

When the fat man saw it, his heart was excited, it's bad! Isn't this the Dai Prison of their team? He's here!

The fat man hurriedly lowered his head, stood up, and hid himself behind a pillar, if he found out, he would be unlucky! You must know that leaving the post without permission at work will be deducted from your salary! My salary is not much, where can I withstand deductions!

"Huh? What about people? Alas! ”

The fat man could hear the waiter shouting at him behind him, and he pretended not to hear it, lowered the brim of his hat, lowered his head, and slipped out at once.

When the sales office came out, the fat man was depressed. I am already old and dizzy, and I can actually read a painting wrong! The landscape is regarded as a child's outing

Kid's outing map!

Wrong!

Why is it a scene of a child's outing?

But I did see it! Ink landscape painting has become a terrifying travel picture!

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

What a hell!

Crowded! The fat man deliberately let go of himself and let out a long breath, looked back at the lively scene at the shopping place, and rolled his eyes bitterly.

With his current situation, even if he works day and night for a year, he can't buy a corner of the residential toilet here, and people buying a house is like buying cabbage, why is the gap between the rich and the poor so big! Why is it so hard to make money on your own! The wealth is rich, and the people are poor and short-breathed! What kind of world is this! Thinking of the waiter's disdainful expression just now, the fat man kicked up a small stone fiercely.

Bypassing the sales office, not far away is the Xianghe meat patty shop that Lin Chen had eaten together.

It was still early, and the fat man bought a meatloaf and walked along the ridge in the direction of his shed. I didn't go far when I saw an old lady wearing an earthy blue cloth shirt with a thin yellow face squatting under a tree, scratching the bark with both hands, and behaving very strangely.

The fat man was carrying the bag of meatloaf that was still exuding heat and fragrance, and stood aside and asked curiously, "Old lady, what are you doing here?" ”

Hearing that someone was talking to herself, the old lady turned her head, and she seemed very dissatisfied with the title that the fat man gave her, so she said, "Old lady? This kid is rude! Call me Grandma Liu! ”

The fat man smiled awkwardly, "Grandma Liu, what are you doing here?" ”

"It's a willow tree!"

The old lady's words were clearly not answered.

"Willow? What happened to Willow? ”

"Eat its skin, and it will die!"

The old lady spoke slowly, and as she spoke, she shoved a piece of hard bark from the tree into her shriveled mouth, and the wrinkled mouth chewed back and forth, left and right, as if it were an animal eating hay.

The fat man was confused, "What? Eat its skin? ”

What age is this!

There are still people who eat tree bark!

It seems that he is not the worst person to live, and there are others who are even worse than himself!

Wrong!

The old lady's later sentence, it can die! And what does that mean? Did she want the tree to die?

The fat man took two steps forward and swept the cake in his hand.

"Old lady, why do you still eat tree bark! The bark is hard and not tasty! If you're hungry, I've got meatloaf here, and it's still hot right out of the pan! Why don't you eat this! This one is more nutritious than the bark! It's much better than tree bark! It's good to digest! ”

The old lady's mouth stopped chewing, it seemed that her teeth were not good, and she couldn't chew, so she swallowed the dry and hard bark raw, and looked at the fat man quietly, her eyes were very strange, the eyes were not big, at first glance, I thought it was two small holes drilled in the wrinkled face, and she was obviously looking at the fat man, but her eyes seemed to be difficult to focus, and there were many white eyes, and the black eyeballs were exceptionally small, and she kept dripping and turning around on the fat man.

The fat man was stunned for a moment, this old lady was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

Where have you seen it?

The fat man didn't think about it for a while, he lowered his head and took out a piece of bread from the plastic bag containing the meatloaf, the cake was still steaming, a little hot, the fat man blew it, broke it in half, and handed it over in half.

"How's that, smell it! Speaking from the heart, I'm really reluctant! I haven't eaten either, if it's all for you, what will I eat! But seeing that you are so old, gnawing the bark of a tree here to eat, I can't bear it! In this way, half of you and half of me, neither of us will be hungry! ”

Seeing that the old lady did not move, the fat man stretched his hand forward again.

"Take it! Don't be embarrassed! Beef and green onions, just out of the pot, eat it while it's hot! Looking at you like this, I guess you've been hungry for a few days, right? ”

The meatloaf gave off a tempting aroma of meat, and the fat man couldn't help but sniff in enjoyment.

The fat man thought that the old lady must be hungry, just like the people in the famine period in the TV series, snatched the meatloaf, ate it, and then expressed his gratitude to himself, but he didn't expect that the old lady didn't appreciate it!

The fat man's outstretched hand froze there, and the cake was still a little hot, and he had to retract his hand and blow it.

"Don't eat it? For you! I don't want your money! ”

The old lady just looked at the meatloaf in his hand, as if she had not heard anything, and ignored it at all, and continued to turn her head, and carefully and persistently picked off the bark and stuffed it into her mouth, and the thin and dark hands like old bark were cut out of blood, and she didn't seem to know the pain.

"Don't pick! Don't you see your fingers bleeding! ”

The fat man can't bear it

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Zhu coughed dryly.

The old lady still went her own way, and the fat man's heartbeat unconsciously accelerated.

This old lady can't be mentally ill!

He found that the blood on the old lady's fingers was dripping to the ground one by one, and the color of the blood was actually black, and it dripped too much, and soon turned into a black mess, like black ink splashed on the ground.

How could her blood be black? Or is his knowledge shallow, and he is a rare blood breed, and he doesn't know it?

She's still picking!

Didn't she know it hurt? Didn't she feel it? Don't see it? Or is it already numb?

The blood on that finger was still dripping!

If she continues to flow like this, will she die from excessive blood loss?

"Old lady, you shed so much blood! Don't you know it yourself? You, you, why are you still picking! Something is wrong with your face! ”

The fat man looked nervous, and his mouth stumbled.

Unexpectedly, the old lady finally stopped this time, turned her head slowly, and looked at the fat man with the same strange expression she had just done.

"It's a willow!"

"I know! It's a willow! ”

The fat man replied at a loss. I'm not a fool, who doesn't know the willow tree yet! The fat man thought to himself. He raised his eyes and looked at the tree, there were not a few leaves on the willow branches, only dead branches, hanging softly, the tree was not high, not thick, it should have been newly planted!

"But what happened to the willows?"

"Eat it in your belly, and it can take root, sprout, pull branches, and grow tall!"

The fat man was stunned when he heard this.

"What? Can a willow tree still grow in your belly? Wrong! Old lady, you really don't understand? Or do you not understand? What you eat in your stomach will be digested by you, and it will become a part of your body, your flesh, your blood, your bones, and what you can't digest will be excreted by you. ”

The old lady rolled her eyes, shoved a small piece of bark into her mouth, and ate it with relish.

"I said, old lady, you still gnaw on the bark! You pick up all the bark, and the tree is finished! You don't have to worry about sanitation coming to you! ”

To the old lady, the fat man's words were like a deaf ear and ignored.

It's unimaginable that such a dry and jerky bark can be eaten so sweet in her mouth, and she feels that she is not eating the bark, but chewing the old Sichuan brand beef jerky, and the fat man swallows his saliva.

The fat man waved the patty in his hand at her.

"Hey! Old lady, do you want the meatloaf in my hand or not? You can eat meatloaf without having to pick the bark to eat! I'm kind enough to give it to you, I don't want your money! ”

The old lady stopped talking again, squatted on the ground to herself, and laboriously plucked a piece of bark from the tree and put it in her mouth.

"Hey! You old lady is so funny! What's so delicious about this broken bark! You just eat like this, don't scratch your throat! ”

"It's a willow!"

Get! It looks like the car is here again! This old lady must be mentally ill!

The fat man thought, so there is really no need to stay any longer.

The fat man waved the meatloaf in his hand, "Hey! I said old lady, don't you want it? Don't forget it! I'm not a living Lei Feng either, I'm going back! Just go ahead and chew your old bark! I'm too lazy to be a well-wisher! Count me on my hot face and post someone's cold ass! ”

After that, the fat man turned around and was about to leave, when he heard the old lady say, "You don't know how angry he is!" ”

"He? Who is he? The fat man was stunned.

"Who else could it be! Of course it's the master! The master is so good to you, you still bully him! He died of his son, and he lost the painting because of you! ”

The old lady's voice was as light as a cloud, and it drifted faintly into the fat man's ears.

"Sir??"

"Sir! The lord is very angry! ”

The fat man was shocked, and the fat man felt creepy when he heard such a name that had long been drowned in the long river of years by the dust of history and no longer appeared in today's society.

The old lady nodded lightly and smiled wryly.

"You are?" The fat man asked, trembling.

"We recognize it!"

Before the words fell, the old lady put the bloody finger in her mouth and sucked it out, pulled it out, and stretched out one arm towards the fat man.
