Chapter 122: A chance encounter called Hanako
"It's snowing," Cha Wenbin paused, looking back at the village on top of a high hill behind him, the lighthouse-like street lamp at the intersection was still faintly visible. "Stone, let me ask you again, should I really leave like this?"
The fat man naturally knows Cha Wenbin's personality, and it is very difficult for him to give up something that he thinks is his obligation, and his paranoid personality often causes him to be hurt by some accidents. "Let's go, we've done what we should do, and we've done what we shouldn't do, but we can't sink ourselves too deep."
With a long sigh, Cha Wenbin shook his head and walked down the mountain, turning back as he went, until the light of the street lamp was no longer visible.
Concubine Yu has been pregnant for a while, and the bulging lower abdomen has become obvious, followed by a strong pregnancy reaction, what to eat and what to vomit, and the whole person's cheeks have lost weight in the past few days. People say that pregnant women will gain weight, but she is good, except for the belly, the other parts are thinner than before, the village lady said that this is nutrition for the child to eat, the belly tip is estimated to be a boy.
Looking at his wife who is getting thinner, Cha Wenbin is full of shame in his heart, and since he married her, he has never asked, and he has been running outside for three days, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation are all arranged by Concubine Yu. Seeing that this day was getting colder and colder day by day, Cha Wenbin also decided to go to the city to buy more things, such as nutrition and clothes.
When he returned home that night, Cha Wenbin blamed himself a little, so he planned to take her to the county early the next morning. At that time, Wulipu had to take a two-hour bus ride to the county seat, full of potholes and dirt roads, the fat man said, this is not good for pregnant women, easy to move the fetus, so they went to purchase, let Concubine Yu stay at home to rest.
When I entered the city, I happened to meet the market, all kinds of stalls were arranged, and the fat man waved the banknotes in his hand to see what to buy, and then he simply asked Li An for a car. The dialect of northwest Zhejiang speaks the Wuyue language family, and the common people love to watch Yue opera, and they will come to the two opera troupes when they catch the market, and what is sung on the stage is Liang Zhu's "Eighteen Phases". I was also a little tired from shopping, and the fat man proposed to go to watch a children's play for a while, drink tea and rest for a while.
There are a lot of people watching the play, and the table is full, and after a long walk, I found that there are still seats in a corner, and there is a sloppy old man sitting on the table, which feels like a flower child, and the people next to him probably don't squeeze on the table because he is dirty.
"There's a place there, and everyone who wants to eat has to watch a play this year, and it's really fresh." There are four sides on a table, and their brothers just have one person to sit on, and the fat boss asked for some snacks and tea, and the tension that has been going on for days has come to the time when it is time to relax and unwind. The troupe on the stage heard that it was from Shaoxing, and they sang well, and when they heard the climax, Cha Wenbin also clapped happily.
During this period, none of them paid much attention to the one on the table, called Hanako, but the person was not polite, pulled a plate of peanuts and knocked it on his own. The fat man was watching the play, and he touched his hand on the table, hey, why didn't he touch the peanuts? When I turned my head, that guy was knocking incense!
The fat man is a little unhappy, but you're welcome, take my peanuts without permission. He immediately knocked on the table and said, "Hey, hey, why don't you know the old man on the other side so much, if you want to eat and say, I'll order a plate with you, what's the matter with taking it quietly?" ”
The flower child didn't pay attention to the fat man, but continued to peel peanuts casually and send them to the big yellow tooth, this time the fat man really didn't do it, "dong" slammed it on the table and said: "Old splash, you recognized the wrong person today!" He grabbed a tea bowl on the table and was about to splash it in front of the person, when Cha Wenbin shouted in a low voice: "Stop, it's not like it, you just order another plate, what's the trouble!" ”
"You shouldn't keep doing this, bad people are used to it, and when you look at that virtue, you're a ruffian."
"No matter how old the riffraff is, can a plate of peanuts be calculated?" After that, Cha Wenbin pushed the plate of candied fruit in front of him and said to the man named Hanako: "Uncle, my brother doesn't like what he says, don't be surprised." ”
The old man was unceremoniously, took the stack of candied fruit and threw it into his mouth, the fat man was even more unhappy when he saw that he didn't even thank him, if it weren't for Cha Wenbin's face, he was afraid that he would have another attack, he underestimated the sentence "Old Zapi", this sentence is Sichuanese, which translates to the meaning of bastard. Unexpectedly, the old man understood, and replied to the fat man in a rather authentic Sichuan dialect: "You short-lived baby knows a hammer, and you have to be tough when disaster comes!" ”
The fat man was surprised: "Hey, why are you still a fellow?" ”
The flower child looked at Cha Wenbin and said: "I smell a smell of incense on your body, and if you are not dressed as a monk, then you must be a Taoist priest, why don't you see that your brother is in trouble?" ”
The fat man looked at him and thought to himself, but it was just an old trick on the rivers and lakes, so he said: "Isn't it going to be the next point, tell me, how much do you cost to show people a hexagram?" ”
Hanako stretched out a slap while laughing, and the fat man smiled: "Five dollars? You still have a small appetite. Hanako shook her head, still slapping her head, "Fifty? After that, the fat man took out five big unity cards from his arms and slapped them on the table and said: "Come, tell the master about three or three, if you can calculate who my surname is, I will give you this money." If it's not accurate, don't blame me for not respecting the old and loving the young! ”
Seeing that the two of them seemed to have the meaning of a bar, Cha Wenbin wanted to persuade him, but the man called Huazi said: "Five cents, the old man only counts one hexagram a day, and five cents can manage a day's steamed buns. ”
"You're quite principled," the fat man touched five cents and put it on the table and said, "Okay, I'll play with you today, come and tell me, what's my name?" ”
"I don't know what your name is," Hanako said, "But, I know you've had a bloody plague recently, did you go to an unknown place a few years ago, and now it's time for you to go back." ”
"I've been to a lot of places from all over the world, can you tell me if it's two lakes in Guangzhou, or Shanxi and Hebei?"
Hanako smiled: "Your soul has been borrowed for two years and returned to you, and within a month, your soul will have to be borrowed again, and this time I am afraid it will not be so easy to return." ”
This fat man heard that it was a joke, but Cha Wenbin was really shocked, the fat man did disappear for two years for no reason, and this matter has not been revealed so far. Although everything seems to be safe now, he still has a pimple in his heart about the scene back then, but today he was casually said by such a stranger, how could he not be shocked?
At this moment, he asked Hanako to put away the five cents on the table and was about to get up and leave, but the fat man didn't do it, and stepped forward and said, "What kind of fortune are you, just want to coax money with one or two nonsense?" Believe it or not, I'll send you to the police station! ”
"It's said that you have a bloody disaster, this person, you just like Laipi, so don't worry." Hanako threw down the money again, humming a string of songs in her mouth, "Everyone in the world says that immortals are good, but they can't forget their fame!" Where will the ancient and the modern meet, the barren mound is gone. Everyone in the world says that immortals are good, but gold and silver can't forget ......"
"What a good song for the people at the foot of the slope?" Cha Wenbin immediately got up and separated the flow of people, there were indeed too many people watching the play, and after a while, the figure named Hanako disappeared from his sight, and the people who chased after Cha Wenbin outside could no longer see the figure.
"Cha Ye, what are you chasing after him, a nervous old stick."
"He sang "Okay Song", written by a Taoist priest in the Dream of Red Mansions, ordinary people called Huazi would not read such books, stones, don't be careless, you two follow me to find it, maybe it's really a master."
The fat man thought to himself, you are a Taoist priest, is it possible to be fooled by the magic stick, the three of them got into the car and drove along the main road of the county, and they didn't see anyone after two circles. At that time, the county seat of Anxian County was indeed not big, and there were six streets in the horizontal and vertical directions, but today there were many people rushing to the market, and I really couldn't find it.
The car drove slowly through the street, and the fat man suddenly stopped with a foot on the brakes, and he saw in the mirror that the person named Hanako seemed to be surrounded by people.
Four or five men were constantly pushing and shoving the man named Hanako, who was holding a large bag sewn from several pieces of rotten cloth in his hand, and he was obviously about to reach a desperate situation when he was forced into a corner, and one of the bald men grabbed his clothes and said, "Do you want to leave without paying?" Are you when I'm a vegetable market? ”
"I gave," he argued, "I really did." ”
"You gave, but that's not enough!" The man said angrily: "As soon as you go, all my guests will be gone, and you will have to pay for it!" I also wasted a pot of hot water, and I let you run away last time, and this time I can be regarded as catching you. ”
"Oops." The fat man pulled the people apart and said, "What are you doing?" Why bullying an old man. ”
"Who are you?" The bald man looked the fat man up and down, the latter was not smaller than him, and then turned his head to see that there was a car parked outside. At that time, cars were rare objects, there were only a few in the county seat of Anxian County, and at a glance you knew whose it was, and the momentum of the big man also decreased: "Li Ye's people, okay, no matter how good we are, we have to be reasonable, right?" This old man called Hanako to take a bath in my store the day before yesterday, we are a big bathhouse, he got down with a stinky smell and washed a pool of hot water into a soy sauce color, and my customers all ran to the front desk to make trouble. ”
The fat man said: "You don't talk nonsense, who cleanly went to take a shower, then why did you let him in when he went in?" Since it's for people to wash, don't blame him for being dirty, didn't he say to give you money? ”
"It's true that I took a dime for a person in this bath, but he washed ten people's water alone, so I don't think it's too much for him to ask for a dollar, right?"
Seeing that Hanako was still giggling, the fat man's mind could immediately think of the bath water like soy sauce soup, and there were more and more onlookers, he hurriedly took out a dollar from his pocket and stuffed it and said to the Hanako: "Hurry up, hurry up, remember to wash quickly next time, don't save it is a half a year to wash it......"
