The black bull's blood quickly dried up, and it foamed at the mouth, staring at the onlookers and falling to the ground motionless. Its corpse was quickly carried to the board by several big men, and after Liu Cong's novice knife was swiftly*, some spectators in the market flocked to the market and immediately surrounded the open-air beef stall.

After Liu Congxin finished killing the black cow, he went to kill the flower cow again. Immediately after that, the stubborn donkey and a few fat sheep only became ghosts under the knife in the blink of an eye. In order to solicit the jacket, Liu Congxin deliberately took off a long wooden pole from the car, picked up these bloody furs high, and then put them on the railing above the carriage, becoming an advertisement for the slaughter of live cattle.

"Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground!" Several men gathered around with unbridled laughter, their eyes shining strangely, as if they were salivating at the sight of the delicacies made of beef and donkey meat on the table.

Two hours later, the people in the market slowly dispersed, and the open-air slaughterhouse gradually became deserted. In front of the stall where the cattle were slaughtered just now, in addition to a pile of bones and a few pieces of mottled and bloodstained fur raised high, there was also a foul smell of maggot-covered blood on the ground. Liu Cong Xinjian saw that the fresh meat on the board was almost sold, with a smug smile on his face, he hummed a small tune, patted the wallet on his waist, it seems that he has a good income today, everything is the same as the budget, and he is satisfied.

The wind picked up, the temperature in the air slowly cooled, and the black clouds in the sky gathered more and more, as if it was going to rain again. The pedestrians in the bazaar had gradually dispersed, and a few vendors from afar were also in their stalls, busy packing their things, and then carrying full pockets, they had earned enough money and were ready to leave the market at any time.

After a period of busyness, the bazaar finally fell silent, and the sophisticated villagers, after some verbal bargaining in front of the treacherous and slick little traders, all relished what they needed, and then returned with a full load.

After they left, a clean street was littered with garbage. Grass kidneys, onion skins, rotten vegetable leaves, and rotten fruits rolled everywhere, mixed with messy plastic bags, were all laid out in the face of the village without being noticed, and were crushed by the passing vehicles frantically.

The so-called civilized order, in this place of selfishness, indifference and philistine, is just a wavering façade, like an unkempt resentful woman, shamelessly dangling from village to village, casually trampling on hypocritical self-esteem. A few crows followed the mixed scent, noisy in the bazaar, circling left and right. The past is the past, the present is the present, such a rotating feng shui, some of the fake and shoddy goods hidden in it, are just right to be sold by the hawkers to the greedy and poor villagers, just like selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.

Sun Xiaohong finished selling the vegetables and looked up at the sky, where large dark clouds were gathering and converging. Seeing that there was no one on the street to buy groceries, and wanting to go home early, she bent down to pick up the maza, put it on the tricycle, and then cleaned up the things on the stall. Fortunately, she came out to buy vegetables on the first day, and her income was okay. If you can get a good position, maybe you can sell it for a little more money.

The sky darkened, and the empty bazaar was still full of people. Those unconfident cries of selling gradually became low. Sun Xiaohong cleaned up the stall, turned the unicycle around, held the handlebars tightly, and was about to walk back. A woman's voice came from behind her.

"Xiaohong, why did you come to the market to sell vegetables today, did your mother go out to sell vegetables again?" The person who spoke was the second sister in the backyard, Xiaohong didn't look back, and she could be recognized with the back of her head.

"Well, I can't fit it in the car, and she asked me to push it to the market to sell the rest! I didn't see much, so here I am! ”

"Look, look. It is said that the three-year-old sees the old, and the seven-year-old knows the old, your mother is not afraid of hardships when she lives, I think you will follow your mother, and you can live in the future, if anyone has a daughter like you, it is really a high incense and a big wax in the last life......" Although the sentence that slipped out of her mouth casually was rough, it was also reasonable, and Sun Xiaohong did not shy away from it at all.

She gently put down the tricycle in her hand, shook the dust off her body, smiled and turned her head, and looked at the woman who had only three smiles.

"It's the second sister, the market is almost gone, why did you come? You see, the people selling the goods are almost gone, why don't you come early if you want to buy? Sun Hong pointed to the empty street and said unhurriedly.

In the alley, the second sister is the neighbor of Sun Xiaohong's house diagonally across the door, and the relationship between her and Sun Xiaohong's family has a delicate relationship. The second sister's own sister is Sun Xiaohong's mother's niece and daughter-in-law. Because of this delicate relationship, the second sister also followed the title of her younger sister, and she called Sun Xiaohong's mother also called her aunt.

Sun Xiaohong calls her a second sister, in fact, she is more than 30 years older than Sun Xiaohong. The second sister is a person who can speak well and deal with people, not only can she meet the source left and right, but also does not show a drop of water. In this mixed alley, it is also famous for the knife-cut tofu that sees both sides. She smiles no matter who she meets, so she is very popular.

Now, when she saw Sun Xiaohong talking to her, she walked quickly to the front, squinted her eyes, showed two rows of snow-white teeth, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just here to wander around." If you touch the right thing, you can buy as many as you want, and if you can't touch the right thing, you will pull it down. The second sister explained insincerely, while staring at her tricycle and refusing to leave.

Sun Xiaohong seemed to understand her intentions, she hurriedly lifted the plastic sheet in the car bucket, revealing a few leftover cucumbers and said, "Second sister, I still have a few cucumbers, if you don't dislike it, take it home and eat it!" As she spoke, Sun Xiaohong put these cucumbers in the bag and handed them to her happily.

"Oh, look how embarrassing this is!" The second sister took it unceremoniously, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and her face smiled like a blooming flower. Maybe she will feel at ease that "people take the initiative to deliver food, and she definitely doesn't come to pick up cheap food".

She knew that Sun Xiaohong had a vegetable field at home, and every summer vacation, Sun Xiaohong stood behind her mother in the market every day to buy vegetables, and had endless dealings with those villagers and vendors. At that time, it was not so much that she was helping her family buy groceries, but that she was helping herself save for tuition.

Because, almost all of her and her sister's tuition fees come from the family's vegetable patch. She is a student, and she shows up to sell vegetables, but also to bear a burden for her family.

"What's so embarrassing about this, these dishes are all produced in my own field, and I can't eat them all when I take them back, so whoever catches them will give them to whomever they catch. Second sister, just take it, don't be polite to me! As she spoke, Sun Xiaohong filled the bag with a few more tomatoes.

"Enough, enough! Don't pretend anymore! The second sister hurriedly waved her hand and said. Sun Xiaohong quickly tied the convenience bag, smiled and handed the dishes to the second sister's hands.

"Look at how much trouble the little sister will come, the second sister is not welcome today!" The second sister took the convenience bag and said with a smile. She took the food in her hand, turned around and was about to leave, when she suddenly remembered something, so she asked again: "Xiaohong, did you get a score for the university entrance examination?" Come down and tell the second sister, I'm the first to go to your college banquet. In fact, since the exam, Sun Xiaohong likes to listen to her last thing is that others ask her scores, because her score is really not ideal.

She was very angry at this sentence, and she was afraid to hear it, every time someone mentioned this question in front of her, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she felt that there was a sharp steel needle behind her back, which was poking at her sore spot.
