This sleep is really enough to relieve fatigue, there is a thunderstorm outside, it has been raining all day, there is no business in the flea market on rainy days, and the scumbag brother closes the stall very early.

He bought some home-cooked food at the vegetable market, the weather turned cooler, the temperature dropped, the scumbag brother didn't drink much beer, and recently he liked to drink two glasses of liquor to fall asleep.

"Hey, get up, don't sleep, sleep like a dead pig, get up and wash your hands and drink."

Brother Scumbag cooked the meal, walked back to the basement and pushed me twice.

"Hmm, what time is it, ah, you've closed the stall?"

I slowly got up, the basement was dark, and I couldn't see the expression of the scumbag brother clearly, I only felt that I had slept for a long time, and I couldn't hear the sound of light rain outside.

"The rain has stopped?"

I rubbed my eyes, picked up my phone and looked at the time, 6:40 in the evening, good guys, I slept all day.

"Stop, get up and have some food, where did you go last night?"

The scumbag leaned against the door frame and lit a cigarette.

"Xinyan's mother was hospitalized and stayed with her all night."

I yawned, took out my cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.

"What? Is she hospitalized? ”

Brother Scumbag was so surprised that he grew his mouth and looked at me incredulously.

"Well, let's eat first, I'm starving."

I walked out of the basement with a cigarette in my mouth and into the yard, it was already dark, the air was particularly fresh after the rain, and the smell of damp fish wafted into my nostrils and made me sneeze.

I sat on the bench, on the table there was a cucumber, an egg scrambled okra, stewed a pot of pig-killing vegetables, sauerkraut pork belly, looking very appetizing, two salted duck eggs on the side of the bowl, two halves of the cup filled with white wine.

"When did you come back?"

I put a blood sausage in my mouth and chewed it with relish.

Brother Scumbag sat down, picked up half of the salted duck egg, picked up the chopsticks and pouted the egg white and threw it into his mouth, frowned and said: "Today is the breaking day, it has rained for a day, the business is cold, I sold two clothes in one day, and there are few customers from morning to night, and I am drenched." ”

I touched the glass with the scumbag, took a sip of wine, and the white wine entered my stomach, and the hot feeling entered my brain, choking my tears.

"You drink slowly, it's getting colder and colder day by day, and you should drink less beer in the future, drink some liquor to relax your muscles and invigorate your blood, which can not only resist the cold, but also don't like to catch a cold."

Brother Scumbag continued to eat his salted duck eggs, the chopsticks had already pouted to pale yellow, he chirped, glanced at me, and asked: "That old witch is usually alive and vigorous, showing off her might, why did she suddenly fall ill and be hospitalized?" ”

"The doctor said it was high blood pressure, heart disease, etc., but I don't know the specifics."

I looked at the laurel tree in the corner of the courtyard, it seemed to be sick too, standing weakly in the corner, the circle of leaves at the crown had withered and withered, and the cool air surrounded it, extracting its last breath of life.

"Here, take another sip."

Brother Scumbag raised his glass and touched it with me, took a sip, he sighed, took two pieces of okra and threw them into his mouth to chew, making a crisp sound.

I held the wine glass, my heart was not settled, a lot of things have happened recently, I haven't discussed it with the scumbag, watching him eat vegetables and drink a lot, which makes me feel depressed and gloomy.

"Brother scum."

I paused, took a sip of wine, and the alcohol was in my stomach, I bared my teeth, opened the salted duck egg, and took a big sip with chopsticks and put it in my mouth, offsetting the fishy and spicy taste of the liquor.

"What's wrong with you, insanity? If there is a fart, let it go. ”

Seeing my distorted expression, Brother Scumbag glared at me with both hands fanning the smell of wine coming from his mouth.

"Brother scumbag, the lady gave me a house, in the Saiwai Taoyuan Community, in the north of the city."

"Well, I know that community, newly built, very good, usually rich people go over there to buy houses."

Brother Scumbag said disapprerovingly, his expression was flat, as if he had known that the lady would buy me a house.

"But I don't want to."

I put down my glass and looked at the scum brother seriously.

"Brother, put away your indignant mentality, when will you grow up, what did I tell you that day, if you want to marry Xinyan, you must not live here, either go out to rent a house, or pay a down payment loan to buy a set, since the old woman pays out of her own pocket to buy you a house, isn't this the best of both worlds, you don't have the financial ability, but she has, in this era, if you want to survive, you can't rely on benevolence, morality, noble conduct, and your worthless self-esteem, give it to you, If you don't give it to you, don't complain, after all, people have money, and they don't care about the one or two houses, so don't worry about it. ”

Brother scumbag is straightforward and fast-talking, and what he told me is a very straightforward truth, I can understand and listen, I picked up the cigarette case, handed him a cigarette, and after lighting it, I asked Brother scum: "Brother scum, although I accepted the house, she wanted to send me abroad to study, saying that it was to lay the foundation for business in the future, do you say I go or not?" ”

After saying this, I feel that I am very unassertive, and I like to listen to Brother Scumbag in everything, but Brother Slag analyzes the problem clearly and thoroughly every time, so I am willing to discuss with Brother Scum.

"Do you want to go, then?"

Brother Scumbag glanced at me, put the cigarette in his mouth again, picked up the bottle of liquor, and filled my glass.

A glass of white wine in my stomach, I felt that my body was a lot warmer, and a trace of sweat oozed from my forehead, I pulled the placket of my clothes, looked at the scumbag brother and said: "Of course I want to go, I want to go for anyone, this is an opportunity, no matter how I learned, at least I filled the gap that I didn't have a degree." ”

Somewhat excited, I picked up my glass and took another sip.

"Then go, think about how much money you can earn in these years? If you have the confidence to set up a stall or do other businesses here, and earn money to satisfy yourself, then you are very cost-effective, if you don't earn a penny, but lose it, then it is not cost-effective. ”

Brother Scumbag flicked the cigarette ash and lifted Erlang's legs, his expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see through what he was thinking.

"How do I know if I can make a profit?"

I sighed deeply, kept my arms on the table, propped my head, and looked at the scum brother helplessly.

Brother Scumbag took a puff of cigarette, snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, took a toothpick and shaved his teeth, and said hoarsely: "It's unknown what to do, who can predict what will happen tomorrow?" Maybe you go abroad to study, come back to start a business and do business, and you will succeed at once, or if you have good development opportunities abroad, you simply don't come back and make a name for yourself abroad. ”

Brother Scumbag picked up the wine glass, I knocked the glass with him, he took a sip of it, took a suerkraut and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed.

"Or don't go to school abroad, just set up a stall here, the business is getting better and better, the business is getting bigger and bigger, set up a company to be the boss, buy and ship to make profits, this is not bad, everything has to be chosen by yourself, you feel that you are suitable for which road to take, just go without hesitation, no doubt, don't look ahead, be timid and afraid, then nothing can be done."

I chatted with Brother Scumbag until late at night, and each person drank three glasses of liquor, and Brother Slag gave me a lot of suggestions, although I drank three rounds, my thoughts were not clear, and my eyelids were fighting, but I still listened to a lot, and he just asked me to choose a path I liked, and others couldn't choose it for me.

I collapsed on the bed in a daze, I drank a little too much tonight, and I only felt that the world was spinning, and the sun and moon were dark.

In my sleep, I saw the deceased Professor Liu again, she looked at me with a smile on her face, her eyes were full of love, I walked over to her excitedly, she looked at me, turned to leave.

There is a lake not far away, the dark blue lake is like a mirror, calm and leisurely, and the purple sunset in the distance is connected into a continuous line, a few wild ducks fly by, and the Luoxia is integrated, which reminds me of a poem in Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng".

Luoxia and lonely birds fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky.

What a beautiful scenery, this may be Tao Yuanming's peach blossom source.

Suddenly, the earth trembled, the sky dimmed, and a huge whirlpool appeared in the sky, much like a cosmic black hole, which sucked everything into it, the lake, the wildflowers, Professor Liu, the turf, and even the mountains, all of which were flipped violently, and the smoke and dust were billowing and everything was barren, leaving me standing alone in the same place.

After a few moments, the whirlpool was gone, everything was calm, and a barren desert appeared before my eyes, and the terrifying heat invaded me, making me unconsciously look up at the sky, the sun was blazing, the air was thin, and the falcon soared by, looking down on me, it was waiting for me to exhaust the last ounce of strength, and then pecked at my flesh.

I walked forward with difficulty, the fine sand burned my feet, the sun was scorching, I was exhausted, sweating profusely, suddenly, I saw a pavilion in front of me, not far and not close, like a shadow projected by a projector, both real and ethereal, the pavilion building is extremely gorgeous and exquisite, yellow tiles and earth walls, carved beams and painted buildings, heavy eaves and nine ridges, golden and brilliant.

I was amazed, in this vast desert, where did the water pavilion come from, it must be a mirage.

I pursed my dry lips and continued to walk forward, but a dream is a dream after all, and I really walked into this immortal-like courtyard, and Professor Liu's figure appeared this time.

"Wang Tao, so do not accumulate steps, no thousands of miles, do not accumulate small streams, no rivers and seas, Qi Ji jumps, can not take ten steps, ten horses, merit is not reluctant, perseverance, rotten wood does not break, perseverance, gold and stone can be carved, worms have no claws and teeth, strong muscles and bones, eat the soil, drink the Yellow Spring, and use one heart."

I only felt drowsy, delirious, hot and thirsty, and Professor Liu's voice became smaller and smaller, and his appearance became more and more indistinct.

I woke up in a dream, sweat soaked the bedding, the feeling of thirst hit the second time, I sat up, pulled my slippers to the yard, picked up the scoop and took the scoop of water by the pool, drank half of the scoop, I threw the scoop into the bucket, and looked up at the sky.

The sky is about to dawn, the night has turned white, the air is mixed with the unique moisture of the early morning, take a deep breath, you will be refreshed, a hundred times more refreshed.

I walked back to the basement, picked up my phone and looked at the time, five twenty, the scum brother slept for a while and should get up to prepare breakfast.

I lay on the bed, thinking about the strange dream last night, I can't figure out why I always have such marginal dreams, I turned over, I didn't sleep at all, forget it, don't sleep, make some breakfast, and get up and get busy.

I got dressed and was about to walk out of the basement when my phone rang, and I wondered, who would call me at this time?
