Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Strange Beggar
For Cha Wenbin to make friends, Concubine Yu has never asked, whether it is a high-ranking official or a commoner, Cha Wenbin has always been equal, in his eyes, everything is equal, let alone people? And Concubine Yu knew that Cha Wenbin was kind-hearted, and the tattered dress in front of him called Huazi must have caused this man's sympathy to flood again, so he didn't say a word, picked up the basin and turned around and entered the house.
It's not polite to call Huazi, I found a stool and sat down, took out a few cigarette butts from my pocket, and smoked them, Cha Wenbin took a basin of water and asked him to wash his face, but he changed his eyes and said, "You still dislike me for being dirty, right?" That's okay, if you don't eat it, if you want to drive people away, you can say it clearly. ”
Cha Wenbin is a little uncomfortable, no matter how you eat, you have to take care of others, he didn't bother to explain, and threw the basin aside. But now the one called Huazi is a little abnormal, he saw that Cha Wenbin had a gloomy face and didn't continue, but took the initiative to take the pot and said: "That's right, after all, you have children at home, and I have to pay attention to hygiene when I run outside every day." ”
After washing his hands, he said again: "This lord, I see that you are extraordinary, and you must not be an ordinary person." ”
"Ordinary people, crop men who farm the land." Cha Wenbin said: "I don't look like a local in your accent, why can't I tell where you are from?" ”
"Hakka," said Hanako, "Meizhou in the south, my ancestors moved from Hunan, and I have a mixed accent when I live all over the world, and I can't figure out where I'm from." ”
"Do you have any relatives at home?" "No, I've been a single person for a lifetime, wherever I go, and when I die, I just ask a kind person to cover me with a few handfuls of loess, don't let the dog gnaw it, I'm thankful that I can leave a whole corpse."
Cha Wenbin listened to his words and became more and more sympathetic, and the disgust for this called Huazi just now went away, and the two of them had a sentence to pull the family routine, that called Huazi said that he had also followed people to tell fortunes in the early years, and he understood some numerology. Cha Wenbin didn't say anything about revealing his identity, anyway, he just left someone for a meal, why bother people not to get off the stage, he listened to whatever he said, and he should listen to a story.
It was soon time for lunch, a plate of sweet and sour tenderloin, a bowl of steamed bacon, a pot of dried bamboo shoots soup, a fried egg, two vegetarian dishes and a little side dish. Cha Wenbin doesn't drink, but he also opened a bottle of good wine that Li Chenggong just sent yesterday to the old man called Huazi, and he did eat the hundred rice for lunch, and there were all kinds of flavors in his mouth, Cha Wenbin took a sip and said: "This has tasted the life of a hundred families, and it is all in this mouthful of food, and the child and his mother eat two more bites." ”
Traditional Chinese believe that this kind of rice is a collection of energy from hundreds of families, mixed with rice donated by hundreds of hometowns, with a hundred auspicious magnetic fields, can eliminate disasters and diseases, increase blessings and increase longevity. In general, it is also an auspicious thing, because Concubine Yu has to breastfeed, she is going to take care of the child after cooking, she owes and says: "Uncle, you take care of yourself, I won't accompany you, Wen Bin, you take care of it more." ”
The one named Hanako nodded with some satisfaction and said, "Your daughter-in-law is good, she understands the world very well, and my brother is so blessed." ”
Cha Wenbin was naturally happy when he heard others praising his other half, so he said, "Uncle, is the food still appetizing?" ”
Hanako didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, took a sip of wine, sighed, and said, "He, hey, it's a pity, you won't be able to eat such a good dish in the second half of your life." ”
Cha Wenbin's face that didn't have time to take it back before he could take it back in the middle of the laugh suddenly froze, thinking in his heart what you mean by this person, I was kind enough to entertain you, but you cursed me several times. Immediately put the chopsticks on the table and said, "Uncle, what do you mean by this?" ”
Cha Wenbin's tone was a little unhappy, the one named Huazi seemed to be a little full of wine and food at the moment, he hiccuped and blushed a little, and said unhurriedly: "This person, there are gains and losses, you are destined to gain some and lose some, do you know why?" Because you have too many obstacles in your body, which have been accumulated in previous lives, they are destined to be repaid in this life. The old man's speech is a little unpleasant, but since I have eaten your wine and food, I do not want to tell lies. ”
Cha Wenbin snorted coldly: "Since I have eaten well, then I won't send it, how to control my personal fortune by myself, I don't have to worry about the old man." ”
"You," Hanako laughed twice as she got up, pulled away from the bench behind her, and said, "Remember, it's actually very simple to get out of it, two words: atonement!" ”
Cha Wenbin no longer cares about this person, he just thinks that this is a flower child who likes to be bored with no one in his eyes, and thinks in his heart, no wonder you have been doing the job of begging for food all your life. Not long after Hanako left home, Concubine Yu also came in, but at a glance, she saw Cha Wenbin sitting at the table angrily, and she saw it when she asked Hanako to leave, why is this still a little unpleasant?
"Wen Bin, what's wrong with you, are you still angry with a man named Hanako?"
"I also made it myself, and I don't feel comfortable with a good intention to keep people to eat," Cha Wenbin said with a wry smile: "This hundred family meals are really not delicious, in this way, you can make some more, I can't swallow this meal." ”
"Okay." Concubine Yu said helplessly: "You are really, it is you who say it is good, and it is you who says it is not a taste, you wait, this is just for the chicken." ”
After lunch, Cha Wenbin felt that people were a little sleepy, probably because he was a little tired from running for days, so he went to the room where he usually meditated to rest. Concubine Yu didn't think much about it and went with him, while she took the child to watch TV in the room. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the countryside is generally going to start busy with dinner again, Concubine Yu coaxed the child to get up and prepare to go to the vegetable garden to order the little greens on the hour, when she passed by the chicken pen at home, she found that several chickens in the circle were all turned to the ground.
The woman panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly wanted to find Cha Wenbin, but no one answered when she knocked on the door, she couldn't care so much, took the key and forced her in, turned on the light and looked, good guy, Cha Wenbin also turned to the ground! At this time, Concubine Yu was completely panicked, and when she stepped forward to take a look, she was still breathing, but her face was very pale, the beads of sweat on her forehead were like soybeans, and her whole body was still shaking.
"Wen Bin, Wen Bin, what's wrong with you, don't scare me......" Concubine Yu cried: "God, what's going on!" ”
Cha Wenbin was still a little conscious at this time, grabbed Concubine Yu's arm with one hand and whispered vigorously: "Painful ......"
"Where do you hurt, tell me quickly!" "Belly...... Call someone ......."
At that time, the kung fu fat man and Li Chenggong had not come back, they were independent again, and Concubine Yu was crying and rushing to the small shop at the bridgehead, which was the most crowded place in the entire Wulipu......
Besides, the fat man and Li Chenggong braved back to his hometown Liutang under the leadership of Huang Mao, which belongs to the northeast corner of Anxian County, and there is almost an entire Anxian County separated from Hongcun. There is a big river leading to Taihu Lake, which used to be a waterway artery, but in recent years, Liutang has become more and more mixed, and the sewage in the river is vertical and horizontal, and the smell is stinking, I heard that it is because of the introduction of some paper mills to do good things. The locals of Anxian County do not like to go to Liutang, the dialect and food there are different from the local Anxian County, anyway, it is an isolated area, known as the Tibet of Anxian County.
The location where Huang Mao's house is located is even more remote, that is, the legendary Lhasa of Tibet, there is no road, you have to get out of the car and walk along the mountain road for four or five miles, without a family in between. This place can be described as a bird that doesn't, and a group of outsiders come to this place to collect wind that is a ghost to believe it!
There are seven or eight houses scattered on the mountainside, and the distance between them is still a bit scattered, and the tall and dense trees can play a good role in providing cover, that is, if you live here, you can open the window and take a bath without worrying about being peeed at.
Huang Mao's house is an adobe house, there are three downstairs, plus a kitchen and bathhouse, there is a yard, the wall is a section of the wall, I heard that it is still built by his grandfather's hand, his father and mother died early This kid went outside to mix the world, and occasionally came back to deal with the relationship between neighbors, and it happened that day when he met the gang at the entrance of the village and brought it back directly.
"How much did you rent it?" The fat man asked, "How can you give a maximum of twenty yuan a year for this house?" ”
"How can you brother, you are burying me, five hundred!" Huang Mao said: "I originally wanted to raise the price so that I could pay it back, but those people didn't bargain at all, I thought I met a group of wronged leaders from the city, and today I heard you say that this group of people has ghosts." ”
"Let's go and see inside the house." As soon as the fat man patted Huang Mao's shoulder, Li Chenggong grabbed them on the side and said, "Wait, someone is coming, let's find a place to get up first." ”
The three of them were squatting behind a large tree, not far away from the path into the village, and it was not long before a figure appeared, dressed in gray clothes and tattered, with a stick in one hand and a broken bowl in the other. The fat man said: "This beggar is hungry and faint, can there be food for him in this place?" It's not a pure waste of foot power. ”
Huang Mao stared at the direction of the beggar and said, "It seems to be heading towards my house, just right, let him be a stepping stone to see if the group at home is there!" ”
