Chapter 3 A Female Beggar Fell from the Sky
I put away the secret color porcelain box, and then discussed with the fat man about selling the gold jar and its inner vessels.
The fat man said to me with some difficulty: "Although we are in urgent need of money now, the gold pot can't be cheap, otherwise it will ruin the market in the industry, and people in the industry will scold us both behind our backs." But this time, the two of us are about to fight with the cigarette boy again, if this weapon can't be used for a while, then our future days will be really difficult. ”
I nodded approvingly, and now the golden pot has to be done as much as possible, or it won't be long before we both have to tighten our belts and get by. At this time, I thought of another important problem to solve, so I said to the fat man: "We are not at home all the year round, and it is also a big problem that no one takes care of the antique store, so it seems that we must hire a safe clerk, so that we can have no worries outside." The point is, where to find a reliable and trustworthy clerk now. ”
The fat man thought for a while and said to me: "Why don't we let Fifth Master Zha help pay attention to it first, it's really not okay to borrow one directly from him, anyway, he has a lot of guys in the store, and it's not worse than one and a half." ”
I nodded approvingly and said, "Okay, that's it." ”
After speaking, the two of us set off, ready to go to the store of the fifth master to borrow someone. As a result, as soon as I stepped out of the room to put up the gate of the antique shop's window, I saw an unkempt woman lying in front of the store, covered in mud, and I couldn't see her appearance at all. The reason why I was able to tell that she was a woman was roughly inferred from her size.
I saw that she was unconscious under the scorching sun, hurriedly squatted down, pushed her arm and said, "Wake up, wake up." ”
As a result, a sour smell rushed into my nostrils, and I couldn't help but pinch my nostrils with my fingers. The heart said: Did this aunt crawl out of the stinky ditch?
The fat man came out of the store at this time, saw the person lying in front of me and asked me, "What's the matter?" How is it that a beggar fell here, drunk or dead? ”
I turned my head and glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you help me carry her into the store and make a pot of hot tea for her." ”
The fat man muttered "it stinks" as he helped me carry people into the store and place them on glass display cases. Because there was no sofa in the store, if you put her on the only stool in the store, and you were worried that she would fall, you couldn't put her on the cold ground, so you had to put her in a relatively flat and safe place. The fat man quickly brought a pot of hot tea and a plate of snacks, although the fat man was very dissatisfied, but he was still very worried about this unconscious stranger.
I gently patted the unconscious woman's cheek and whispered to her, "Wake up, wake up." The unconscious woman's face was covered by sticky hair, and she couldn't see exactly what she looked like, only that her nose was firm and the tip of her nose was upturned.
The fat man handed me the tray and said to me, "How can you wake her up like this?" After speaking, the two hands grabbed the woman's arms vigorously, and while shaking vigorously, they shouted loudly: "Wake up, wake up, don't sleep, it's dawn." ”
I hurriedly stopped the fat man's rude behavior: "You are light, people are about to shake you apart, and you die at your hands before you freeze to death on the street, and then you will become a murderer." ”
The fat man ignored me, picked up the teapot, took a sip of tea, and sprayed it directly on the woman's face. The woman lying on the glass counter took a deep breath, sat up from the glass counter, and looked ahead in a daze.
I was afraid that the fat man would scare her, so I hurriedly squeezed over with my recruitment smile and said to her, "Don't be afraid, I saw you faint, so I helped you into our shop, how do you feel now?" Headache is not painful, do you want to throw up? "I asked this because I was worried that she would hit her head when she passed out and would have a concussion.
As a result, the woman directly ignored me, a handsome guy, grabbed the teapot, and poured the tea violently. Then, he grabbed the pen and www.biquge.info his heart, and frantically stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, like a demon snatching food. I looked the woman up and down, her hair was glued to her face, except for the faint nose, all other features were hidden, and I couldn't see it at all. She was hunched, I don't know if she was born a little hunched over, or if she was in a vigilant posture. Seeing this woman look like a wolf, she must have encountered something and was hungry for several days. What I can't figure out is that in the current capital, how can there be beggars who can't beg for food?
The fat man standing on the side saw the woman gobbling up, and smacked his tongue unintentionally: "The hungry ghost is reincarnated." ”
I was afraid that what the fat man said would hurt the woman's self-esteem, so I hurriedly said to the fat man, "Go and get some snacks again, see if there is any rice in the pot, and if not, make some and bring them." Then I put on my signature smile again, bared my little white teeth and said to the woman very politely: "You eat slowly, these snacks will be padded to your stomach first, and you can eat the main meal later." ”
The woman didn't even look at me, lowered her head, and continued to stuff the snack into her mouth. I'm so angry in my heart! With my appearance, I'm not a tiger aunt who can eat people, why don't you ignore it so disdainfully? Is it true that the beggar woman is deaf and cannot hear what I say?
I guessed wrong, the beggar woman was not deaf, but mute. She silently swept away the table of food cooked by the fat man, and then dipped her fingers in the tea and wrote two words on the table, "Thank you".
I smiled and said to her, "No thanks," and before I could say the rest of the words, she ignored me again and turned to the fat man.
The fat man stared at a pair of bull's eyes, looked at the unkempt woman in surprise, and asked me, "Lao Zheng, what's going on with her?" ”
When I saw that the woman ignored me and ignored me, I was very disgusted, so I said to the fat man angrily, "Go and get her a pen and paper, and let her write down what she wants to say." After saying that, I couldn't help but curse in my heart, what's the matter with this woman? Do I have poop on me, as for this evasive attitude towards me? Then I had a change of heart, and I said: Why do you care about what a beggar thinks of me, and it's not that there is something wrong with my brain.
The fat man found a pen and paper, and the woman immediately grabbed the pen and began to write on the paper, and the fat man and I leaned over to watch curiously. The woman's writing speed is very fast, but it is not sloppy and messy, but the lines are very neat, and the writing is very delicate, and she looks like a person who has read a book. I saw that the paper said: Please take me in, I will do any housework, just give me food.
After writing, she grabbed the sleeve of the fat man standing beside her, and made a whining sound, as if she was begging, and her attitude was very sincere, and she was almost about to kneel down for the fat man.
The fat man felt a little overwhelmed when he saw that this woman looked very pitiful, although his mouth was not good, but his heart was softer than mine. I suddenly felt that this woman had seen this at all, so she would only plead with the fat man pitifully. The fat man's eyes kept staring at me, and he couldn't have understood what he meant, and as long as I agreed, he had absolutely no problem. Looking at the actions of this woman of unknown origin, I suddenly had a bad thought: did this woman deliberately approach the two of us with some purpose, why we were worried that we couldn't find anyone, so she sent it to the door by herself.
I walked up to the woman and said to her: "This lady who doesn't know whether to call the eldest sister or the eldest sister, don't blame me for speaking badly, you see that you can't speak, we lack a salesperson to watch the store, and you can't help, we don't lack an aunt who sweeps the floor and cooks, I really can't leave you." Otherwise, we'll give you some entanglements, enough for you to go back to your hometown. If you don't want to go back to your hometown, we'll introduce you to another place to work, don't you think? ”
The woman's hair was stuck to her face, and I couldn't observe her expression, but even if I said it wildly, she just grabbed the fat man's arm and didn't let go, and finally she whimpered and cried.
The fat man was at a loss for what to do, neither to break free, nor to persuade me, and in the end he could only look at me vigorously. I said in my heart: A woman's crying, making trouble, and hanging are the most troublesome, what can I do. I had to continue to persuade the woman: "Sister, do you have any difficulties, or you sue me, I and this fat man will help you solve it, if you can't solve it, we can still find the police." ”
Actually, I meant this sentence to her, and the implication was that if you continue to cheat like this, I will have to hand you over to the police. I thought to myself at this time: I have a lot of good words, and I can't solve it by giving money, she just depends on this place and doesn't leave, I am more and more sure of my thoughts, this woman's purpose is definitely not pure.
Hearing me say that she was looking for the police, the woman cried even more happily, and knelt down for the fat man with a plop, holding the fat man's thighs and not letting go.
The fat man didn't know whether he was annoyed by her crying, or if he really pitied her, so he helped her talk and began to persuade me: "Lao Zheng, we just lack a clerk, so let's hire her!" Although she is mute, she is not illiterate, as long as we let her know the reserve price of the item, then she can write on paper to communicate with the customer, there should be no problem. And we don't need a tight-mouthed person, it's not just right, she can't even speak, let alone save trouble. ”
I secretly scolded the fat man for being a pig's brain, why didn't I see that this woman was weird. When the woman heard the fat man say this, she immediately let go of the fat man, hugged my thigh, and began to plead with me with a whining. Although I had doubts in my heart, I was also afraid of blaming the good people, so I decided that I could leave her for a few days to observe, anyway, the fat man and I would not leave the capital for a while, and we could take a good look at her bottom.
So I said to the beggar woman who was holding my thighs and crying with snot and tears, "Go to the back and freshen up first, and then we will go out and buy you a set of clothes, and you will stay in the strange house for work." As for the salary, it's just like a regular salesperson, don't you think that's okay? ”
The woman immediately stood up, nodded excitedly, and then quickly wrote on the paper: Thank you, you two are really good people.
The fat man took the woman to the well behind to fetch water and freshen up, and then came to me and said, "Let's go!" Go buy her some clothes, she wears such rags, and she can't take care of business in the store. ”
I glared at the fat man and said to myself, "When did you become so enthusiastic about strangers?" The fat man saw that I was unhappy, and on the way to the store, he asked me, "Lao Zheng, what's wrong with you?" Who's messing with you? ”
I said to him angrily: "It's not you yet, why didn't you stand on the united front with me just now." ”
As a result, the fat man looked at me in surprise and said, "Lao Zheng, this is not like you!" When did you become so hard-hearted, didn't you see how pitiful that aunt was? ”
I stopped and said to him, "Poor your brain, why is it so unbright." There's obviously something wrong with that woman, why didn't you see it? ”
The fat man is most annoyed by me saying that he is stupid, and he is most annoying to me when others say that I look like a woman. The fat man said angrily: "Why don't I see anything wrong with her, she is obviously a poor person, it is estimated that she was abandoned or abducted, we should help others." ”
I replied to the fat man, "Whether it is discarded or trafficked, it should be handed over to the police to deal with, why are you meddling?" ”
The fat man glared at me with a pair of bull's eyes and said, "Fake Sven, the police are your friends, and the police station is your home?" When did you become so close to them? ”
I also know that it is best to avoid meeting the police in our line of work, and we usually avoid it, but the nature of the problem is different this time, and I very much disagree with taking in this woman of unknown origin.
I couldn't make sense of the fat man, so I turned around and walked to the store.
After the clothes were purchased, we returned home with bags. The woman cleaned up, but her hair still covered her face, and I couldn't see what she looked like, the more mysterious she was, the more I doubted her, and I wanted to see the true face of this mysterious woman.
So, he walked up to her casually and said to her, "Buy the clothes, you can change them quickly!" The hair is washed, why is it still covered on the face, isn't it uncomfortable? With that, he stretched out his left hand with lightning speed, trying to brush the hair from her face.
I didn't expect to be dodged by her all of a sudden, and then grabbed the bag in my hand and ran to the back room. Then the fat man came up to me and said, "Fake Sven, why are you doing something to people?" ”
I looked at the woman's disappearing back, turned my head to the fat man, and said, "You know a fart!" With that, he walked to the inner courtyard in the rear.
The fat man shouted behind me unconvinced, "Ya, I just didn't know how to ask you, what kind of crazy are you smoking!" ”
