Chapter 352: Picking Stones
Each of these lines has its own doorway, and even Lao Wu is no exception. He said that the stones on the wall of the well were divided into several grades, but in fact, it was just a normal trader's thinking, first call the price to you, and then bargain with each other, which will definitely eventually return to the normal price, the seller does not lose but earns, and the person who buys feels that he has a lot of money left, which is a truth. The stones used in the wall of the well, in fact, do not care what is public or unfair, that is not good, it is no problem to use hard cow dung as a stone to yard, and the cracks are pasted to death with ash, which is clean water. But they had to get the stone themselves, thanks to such a cart that usually pulls the corpses of dead people, and went to the barren mountain and wasteland to pick up the stones, and then they could start working on it.
Along the way, Lao Wu almost didn't say a word, let the fourth and Xiao Qi be sandwiched in the middle, and they all looked at Lao Wu with a hint of evil smile, and finally looked at Lao Wu Mao, so he scolded them and said, "Are you sleepy this morning?" Is there a painting on my face or what's wrong with the fuck? What do you keep looking at me? ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the fourth child hurriedly followed and said, "Hey, there is indeed something to say!" Words to speak! Our brothers have been looking at you for a day, just waiting for the words on your face, hurry up, where did you go yesterday? Let people kiss? ”
Lao Wu stopped, frowned and said to the fourth: "Why are you like those beasts, and you don't have a proper line?" Where can I go? As soon as I touched my pocket, except for the cigarette, it was a match, and I didn't have half of the eldest son, which girl could take a fancy to me? Hurry up, this is in a hurry! After speaking, he pulled the car and walked out first, and he didn't wait for the two brothers.
But the fourth child chased after him and said, "This is not right! If you cry poor with your brothers, then we have to calculate! ”
Lao Wu put down the car and threw it to Xiao Qila, he lifted his clothes to cool the breeze, and asked the fourth child a little strangely: "Count?" What can I count as something? ”
The fourth child glanced back at Xiao Qi, who was pulling the car, laughed and said, "Don't pretend!" I ask you. What did the thief surnamed Wen do that day? Don't tell me he's here to see the fun! That's definitely here to pay back! Why are you going to be greedy for public funds? I didn't even say anything about it, you are still crying and being poor, either take out the money, or, honestly, who is your best friend! You tell yourself, I'm sure no one will tell me! I know the earth, you know the earth, I know! Don't carry what others know! ”
This is not good for old Wu. patted the fourth child on the shoulder and said, "How did you learn so much?" How did I find out that you have said so much more than before? Can you stay and do some business? ”
"Why don't you get down to business? I've always had to get down to business! The point is that we don't have money now! That's not enough to eat and drink! That's it, what can they do with a few rice buckets? The fourth child shouted at Lao Wu, but when he said the last few words, he quickly lowered his voice.
Xiao Qi pulled the cart and climbed the slope with difficulty, and greeted the two brothers who were muttering not far away: "Big, big brother, fourth brother!" Help me quickly, I can't hold it anymore, I'm going to go back! ”
"I have a way to get money, and we'll talk about it when we get to the place!" The fourth child patted Lao Wu on the shoulder, then ran back to help Xiao Qi pull the car, and laughed at him that it was time for him to breastfeed. I didn't have the strength to pull the cart. Xiao Qi was embarrassed after hearing this, and kept explaining that he hadn't eaten since he got up in the morning, and he was so hungry that he couldn't pull it. The fourth child was in a good mood for some reason, and kept teasing Xiao Qi, Lao Wu sighed and walked out first.
Lushi County has many mountains, and the general villages are built on the flat terrain between the two mountains, but when you get out of the village, you have to start climbing, and after going up the mountain, you will go down the mountain. It's all those little hills. Because the place where Lao Wu is going is very remote, those relatively flat roads cannot be passed. So you can only go over the mountains. It is said that they are all rough people who work all year round, and climbing the mountain is naturally not a difficult task, but they didn't eat this morning, and they were dragging heavy wooden carts, so they were a little empty, and Xiao Qi couldn't stop asking Lao Wu how far away. That old Wu just said a word, and he was in front of him soon.
The good guy has been walking for a long time, and the wheels of the board car are loosened slowly, which makes the fourth child tired and gasping, and looks up to see that the surroundings are very desolate and strange. There is very little vegetation cover, but there are a lot of rocks on the slopes, and there are many rocks piled up underneath, large and small, like the quarry.
Lao Wu was also tired, so he found a stone to sit down, fanned the wind with his hand to sweat himself, turned his head and saw the two brothers who were lying on the board car, he swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "Hey! When you are young, you will pull a board car, and you will be tired of this virtue? You will be my age in the future, can you cross the threshold when you go out? Yes? ”
The fourth child was tired and sweaty, but after listening to Lao Wu's words, he immediately grinned and said, "You fart!" You didn't pull the broken car, of course you weren't tired! You wander around and don't know how tired it is to pull a cart, hey Qi'er, let's go first when we go back, and let Lao Wu drag the cart full of stones by himself! I made him tired out of! ”
This sentence made Lao Wu and Xiao Qi laugh, and the fourth child couldn't hold back and was happy after saying it himself. In this great mountain, among the forests, trees, mountains, beasts, birds and birds, it is often more desirable than the most prosperous city, there is no money, no status, only the beauty of nature, which makes people particularly comfortable and comfortable, and all the troubles and pains have disappeared, purifying the hearts of some people who have long been rotten.
After a cigarette, the brothers relieved themselves and stood up to look at the surrounding rocks. Xiao Qi scratched his head and said, "Big brother, how do you know about this place?" Why are there so many stones? ”
Lao Wu pointed to the stones piled up under the hillside over there and said: "I heard the people in the village say that there was a landslide in this place a few years ago, and many stones were brought out from the mud under the soil slope. ”
After finishing speaking, he unloaded all the things on the board car, and gave the tasks assigned to Xiao Qi and Lao Si, one by one. There is not much attention to the stones on the wall of the yard, but there is only one point, do not have angular stones around, that kind of stone is the most difficult to clean up, and it can't be stacked, so it is better to have a round coo than a horn. The picked stones are piled up in the open space in the middle, and when they leave, they are packed in sacks and pulled away by carts.
This work is not light, those stones are quite heavy, at first the movement is quite numb, but after a long time, then the back hurts and the hands are numb, and I feel more tired than digging graves.
The fourth child really couldn't do it, so he sat on a big stone reflexively, and was about to ask Lao Wu for a cigarette, but the stone sitting under the buttocks was not flattened and was active, and the fourth shook it several times before he stabilized and didn't fall, and rolled out many small stones below, and there was just a square stone that rolled to Lao Wu's feet. Lao Wu didn't pay attention at first, but when he looked down carefully, he found that there were still words engraved on the stone. (To be continued......)
