Chapter 3 Chunshen
The legend of Xiqi is very famous in the old nine gates, and it is true that you can find out some things about Xiqi Xiucai when you go to Hankou, but it is true or false, and it can never be determined, but Chen Pi held a sign of Baiwen killing people in his early years, and there are still many people in Wuhan who remember. It is only said that when the tangerine peel was set up at the beginning, everyone passing by said that he was crazy, not only no one cared, but also some people often pointed out and laughed.
Chen Pi only remembered Xi Qi's eyes before he died, and felt that Xi Qi should be an unusual person, often saying that he should meet a nobleman, but he had no choice but to meet Chen Pi, not a destined person, and there was only so much that could be ignited.
For several days, Chen Pi lived by fishing for crabs, and went to the market to set up stalls and kill people at night, but the little ghosts by the river still came to make trouble as usual, and they didn't feel that there was one less at all, and people were poor and cheap, it seemed that this was the case. Chen Pi didn't care, the days passed day by day, Hankou entered the winter, the crabs could hardly be caught, the military and police were all over the city, and they did not dare to steal and rob, so Chen Pi went to the wharf, looking for a little hard work to survive the winter.
At this time, there was still no one to patronize him, and he couldn't help but wonder if Ki-seven was just talking crazy before he died
On this day, he shrank on the edge of the tide stove, warming himself in a daze, and the wooden plank that killed one person was not as precious as before, and it was under his buttocks, and the words on it were worn out a lot, and suddenly he had a pain in his head and was hit with a stone. When I opened my eyes, I saw a boy, dragging his nose, throwing him with a stone.
He was stunned for a moment at first glance, and he recognized the expressionless face as the stupid Shen he had kicked into the water earlier. The imp didn't even die. And also fat.
At the moment when he was in a daze, Chunshen's two stones hit him the head, hitting him with gold stars in his eyes. After a while, the fool became more skilled at throwing stones. Chen Pi brushed aside the next stone and stood up, and Chunshen immediately turned around and ran away, hiding behind a stout man.
The stout man looked up at Chen Pi, his eyebrows were very similar to Chunshen's, either his father or his uncle. The two of them glanced at each other, and the strong man didn't speak, just stood in front of Chunshen.
The Yangtze River slender man was very fierce and united, Chen Pi instinctively took a step back, and the murderous intent in his heart rose again, but he immediately saw the gendarmes not far from the dock.
Chen Pi remembered that this person was one of the foremen on the wharf, and the people on the wharf listened to him, and now the military cargo at the wharf was very busy, and if he went up to fight with him, he would definitely be unlucky, and the soldier would not catch the foreman, and he would be killed if he disrupted the logistics order.
He glared at Chunshen, shrank back, and comforted himself: Now that he has a price for killing people, he is not willing to do it if it is not particularly convenient to kill people without benefits. Don't let yourself see it in the spring of next year, if you don't see it, it's over.
But this little ghost is also a hard fortune teller. Chen Pi looked at the man and patted Chunshen on the back of the neck, and Chunshen ran away along the river embankment. Ran to a boat, which was a small fishing boat on the river, and a woman carried him to the boat. Obviously, this family is a fisherman who begs for a living by the river, fishing in the river in spring, summer and autumn, and pulling fiber in winter. The family must all be living on the boat.
Now the water bandits are abusing them, and these people can only live on the shore, using the army at the dock to protect themselves.
Chen Pi looked at the woman holding Chunshen from a distance, he was full of discovery, this is not Chunshen's mother, it should be Chunshen's sister, the little girl is about 18 years old, the long strips are very smooth, most of the girls in Hankou have long legs, they have been in the water for many years, 18 years old, and there is a unique beauty of a girl. It's rare that this girl has been on the boat all the year round, but she is very white, and her arms are like white lotus, which really makes people want to cut it off as a pillow.
Involuntarily, after Chen Pi got the job, she took it, dragged her signboard, went to the shore where her boat docked, found a tree to sit on, and watched the girl go in and out, Chen Pi stared at her calves, slender and well-proportioned, and walked on the board like a dance. Chen Pi touched the back of his neck, and he felt a strange feeling, and his heart was a little irritable. It's the same as he felt before he killed, but it's not murderous.
Chunshen stood at the bow of the boat dragging his snot, looking at Chen Pi blankly, he was not afraid of Chen Pi, the girl kept working, and woke him up from time to time. After coming and going, the girl also saw tangerine peel.
The girl stopped what she was doing, and the girl from the poor family understood a lot of things early, and when she saw Chen Pi staring at the part of her neck and neckline, she scolded in Hankou: "The devil is a ghost." Look at Mozi, my dad came back and gouged out your eyes. ”
Chen Pi was still staring at her, and the girl was annoyed: "Take a look, go home and see your mother." "Pick up the oars and pat the water next to the boat, and the water splashes on the tangerine peel.
Chen Pi hurriedly dodged, looking at the girl's white neck, the anxiety in his heart became even heavier, he stood up, held the signboard, and looked at the girl, but he didn't know what to do. The girl also looked at him angrily. "Hear me, get out of my boat."
Chen Pi said coldly: "I set up a stall, the boat is yours, and the shore is not yours, you swing the boat away, don't block me from watching the scenery." ”
The girl laughed: "What kind of stall do you want to set up for rice melons?" Asking for food and setting up a stall? and who patronize you? ”
Chen Pi pointed to the signboard: "One hundred dollars, kill one person." Murderous stalls. ”
The girl slapped a boat oar in the water, and splashed the tangerine peel all over the water, the river water in winter was cold, and the frozen tangerine peel shivered. "Wait for my dad to come back and clean you up, you have a sick brain." As he spoke, he pulled Chunshen into the cabin and put the curtain down.
Chen Pi patted the water on his body, splashed cold water, the anxiety in his heart suddenly went down a lot, he looked left and right, and found that he couldn't see the girl, and saw the laughter on the side, the slender man was finished and walked home, so he had to carry the signboard stupidly.
In the boat, the girl shrank in the bow of the boat and watched Chen Pi leave, only to breathe a sigh of relief. I couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Under the sunset, Chen Pi walked away, the girl had actually heard of Chen Pi for a long time, and his father asked her to see that this person must go farther. In the summer Shahu generation, many people said that this tangerine peel was a ruthless character. Now it seems that this person is really sick in the brain.
But for a girl of that age, Chen Pi was a person who looked different from a fisherman's slender man at a glance. She glanced at it a few times, pulled her collar button, and couldn't help blushing when she thought of the way Chen Pi looked at her.
When he came to the city, Chen Pi was splashed with river water, and he didn't want to set up a stall, so he dragged the wooden plank into the boiled stall, found a few stones to build up, put the wooden plank on the shelf, and hit a bowl of water for two pennies, and went down with the spicy seeds. The red soup went into the soup, and he was sweating all over his head after eating. Even the soup was drunk. Take a bath in the bathhouse next door for another penny, and for the last penny, I will go to the temple to fight cocks at night.
Soaking in the bathhouse, he thought about his own affairs, and felt depressed, this kind of riverside bathhouse is all coolies, rubbing each other's backs, and the river breeze can blow in all directions. I thought of the little boat lady on the boat, the white neck, the snake-like calves. I was anxious again, so I had to get up and go to the hole in the bathhouse to blow the river breeze. I found that my body had fully reacted.
Looking out of the cave, the fishing fires on the river outside are dotted, and the smoke and waves on the other side are circulating.
