I tidied up my clothes and said to the old ruffian: "I really can't do anything about him for a while, so I will act when I see the opportunity, and find a chance to try him again." ”

The old ruffian nodded, and turned back with me. The third master was squinting his eyes at this time and waiting for the two of them to come back, and after me and the old ruffian got on the donkey cart in turn, he drove the donkey forward, turned his head and said, "Brother Qin, since the death of your father, Principal Qin Kaiyu, the family situation has not been good, and it is not easy to be young. “

I opened my mouth and said: "It's not easy, I'm happy to be poor, I don't have so many things to worry about in my heart, you say yes, third master?" ”

Hearing this, the third master touched his goatee, smiled on his lips, and said: "What Brother Qin said is that at my age, I can best understand this feeling, I don't have to take anything to heart, and it is the right thing to live a good life in peace." ”

"No, it's important to be able to live a good life." The old ruffian opened his posture on the side, and then spoke again: "Third master, you are also a person who has gone out to see the world, and the difference between this good life and a hard life is too great. ”

I thought to myself, let this guy brag about what he saw and heard in the Northern Meridian to the third master again, causing the third master to feel uneasy in his bones, maybe it can have an excellent effect, so he said: "Old ruffian, didn't you go to the Northern Classic before you went home this time, how are you doing now?" ”

The old ruffian had already boasted to me before, and at this time he immediately understood what I meant, rolled up his sleeves, and said: "The life of the people in the north is very different from before, walking around the street, there are dozens of meters or even hundreds of meters of high-rise buildings everywhere, every household pauses to eat mutton in the restaurant, just want to save some trouble but also a whole roast duck, go out is a car, raise your hand is the big brother, and you can call without a line!" Everyone is trying to develop the economy, and whoever has the money will have a good life! ”

I glanced at the third master, saw that there was no wave on his face, and thought that he could really hold on, so he asked suspiciously: "What you said is true or false, not to mention that it was a ton of mutton shabu before, it would be good to be able to rectify dumplings during the New Year's holidays, the day you said was the day of the landlord's life, and then give the name of a landlord, but you can't eat and go around." ”

"Hey, what age is it, we are such a big country, can we still be poor?" The old ruffian patted his chest, shook the discharge card in his hand, and said solemnly: "I have received the highest instructions in the Northern Classic, the people of the whole country are working hard to develop the economy, and the life of the common people is getting better and better, at least they must be able to afford to eat mutton." ”

I nodded, and said with emotion: "It's really a day at a time, and the days are getting better and better." “

The third master listened to the old ruffian's words at this moment, and finally couldn't help but ask: "I said ruffian brother, why have I never heard of what you said, if every family can afford to eat mutton shabu, wouldn't it be a landlord." “

The old ruffian said with some pride: "Otherwise, people should go out to see more, everyone has already lived a good life, you don't know, if you become a landlord, it means that there is no landlord." ”

I nodded yes and sighed: "Now the situation has really changed, not to mention far away, just before our big tiled house was the sign of the landlord, look at which one in the village is not a big tiled house, our family has become the poorest." ”

The third master squinted his eyes at this time and stopped talking, touched his goatee from time to time, and drove the donkey cart forward.

The old ruffian opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, I motioned him to stop first, and let the third master do the ideological struggle by himself first, sometimes it is better for others to persuade himself, and the effect of others saying the same thing is very different from letting him say it himself. “

The donkey cart slowly walked out of the woods, and after getting on the road, the speed gradually increased. The third master was still silently driving the car, and I guessed that he was still thinking about the old ruffian, so he simply didn't care about him.

I walked all morning with the old ruffian, and got on the donkey cart without eating at noon.

The donkey cart was still moving forward, and the sky gradually darkened, and the third master turned his head to see that the two of them were asleep, sighed long, reached out and took out the bottle and smoking gun from the pocket of his clothes, shook the bottle twice, only to find that the tobacco had been smoked at some point, and sighed again.

After listening to my words and the old ruffian, the third master couldn't help but recall the glorious days when he was roaming the rivers and lakes, being a feng shui gentleman on weekdays was enough to live a leisurely life, and occasionally a few treasures were poured out from a small tomb, enough for himself to live like a fairy for many months.

The old ruffian slept and snored, and his right hand slid from his body to bring out the cigarettes in his pocket, and the third master turned his head at this time and saw a pack of cigarettes beside the old ruffian, and then looked at the empty dry tobacco bottle in his hand, threw the dry tobacco bottle and the smoking gun into the grass on the side of the road, reached out and took the pack of cigarettes from the old ruffian's hand, took out a little bit from it and took a hard puff, the smoke and the slightly cool evening breeze on his face, the third master felt as if he had returned to the real third master of the year.

I don't know how long I slept, I haven't eaten for a day and my stomach pulled him back from my sleep, and when I woke up, I saw that the old ruffian was still snoring and sleeping, and when I saw the third master in front of me holding a donkey whip in one hand to drive the car, he took a puff with a cigarette in his mouth with one hand, and most of the half box of cigarettes on the side was only two at this time.

As soon as I saw the appearance of the third master at this time, I suddenly felt that there was a play, reached out and lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Third master, it's better to smoke cigarettes, right?" The dry smoke was too strong, and he smoked a spicy throat. ”

When the third master heard me speak, he turned his head and smiled, maybe he smoked too much and his throat was too dry, and the laughter was very hoarse, and then he said: "I haven't smoked cigarettes for many years, and I almost forgot about the taste, good things are good things, and it's still comfortable to smoke a few today." ”

I took a deep breath of the cigarette, slowly spit it out, let the smoke slowly disperse in the air, and said: "Li'er is such a Li'er, if the old ruffian didn't come back with the money this time, I'm afraid I still won't be able to smoke." Where do you think we can go to earn some money and live like the people of City No. 1? ”

After listening to my words, a bright light flashed in his eyes unconsciously, and his heart moved, and he was about to come out about Chen Ping's treasure, and opened his mouth to speak.
