readx;?“ It's been locked up a long time ago, it's been topped up a long time ago, it's just you, it's you!" Sha Lao roared with his fists. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"If you don't close the door, the world is not peaceful, you-dead old man, you will die if you are quieter? Can you speak in a whisper? There are so many things, if you are targeted by thieves on the street outside, you won't rob a fine light? Dead old man, dead old man, after all these years, you don't listen to what I say, just treat it as a fart, I've really had enough with you, divorce, divorce...... Divorced, each has its own way, with these treasures, no one will get in the way of anyone's business in the future, separate the family, each has its own ......" Grandma Sha muttered, her eyes sometimes staring at Sha Lao's fist, sometimes looking at gold, but she didn't look at me, just when I was transparent air.
"You-you, dead old woman, let's get down to business first, let's get down to business first......" Sha Lao's fist was so angry that all the green tendons on his forehead protruded, and he wanted to stomp his feet to demonstrate, but he was afraid that the movement would be too big and alarm outsiders, so he tried his best to control it, stomping his feet gently, and he was helpless.
For as long as I can remember, the two of them have been arguing every day. In the past few years, as I get older, everyone's temper is a little better, and there are fewer things to fall in war, but no one is a fuel-efficient lamp when they are noisy and shouting all day long.
Poor couples mourn everything, they are like many men and women in old city families, they just quarrel over all kinds of trivial things in life, and have nothing to do with the principles of life, so they quarrel and quarrel, and finally bow to reality, and the family makes do with it, so that life can go on.
I raised my hand and pressed it on the shoulder of Sha Lao's fist: "Sha Ye, don't make any noise, tell me what's going on?"
If those books were taken out of the jar, I would have vaguely guessed that they would not be far from ten. The old couple of the Sha family are illiterate, let alone books at home, and they usually don't even have a newspaper, so it is impossible to bury a stack of old books. In addition, the covers and colors of those books are similar to many of the books I have at home, all of which are in archaic, vertical, and thread-bound formats, which are completely different from the books that people see today.
The only truth is that the things in the jar belong to my family, but they were buried in the Sha family and dug out by Sha Lao's fist.
"Stone, I...... I'll be honest, I'm sorry for Brother Xia. Sha Lao's fists trembled, he didn't speak, and there were tears in his eyes.
"Say it, Shaye, what do you have to say. I immediately stopped him from continuing to repent and confess his sins, and to tell the truth first.
"These things were entrusted to me by Brother Xia more than ten years ago. He said, "Something is buried in my house, and when he dies, he will dig it up and give it to your brother." We are brothers who grew up bare-chested, entrusted by my brothers, and as long as I have a breath left, I have to be responsible to the end. Not a few days ago, when your grandfather left, I got up the jar in the middle of the night, and it turned out that these things were inside. When Brother Xia asked me to bury the altar, the mouth of the altar was sealed with old mud, and it was sealed with fire paint. He didn't say what it was, and I didn't ask. This turned out to be these things. The things belong to your Xia family, you are the master, take it back tonight-"
Before Sha Lao finished speaking, Grandma Sha screamed sharply: "No, these things have no master, no master things, whoever gets up is whoever." The rules of old Jinan, whose yard belongs to whom. For so many years, every household in Qushuiting Street has a spring, who have you seen returning the springs and yard objects to their original owners? These things are dug up by my own hands with a pickaxe, and they are mine, and whoever dares to rob them will fight hard with him!"
She was like a big cat pierced by an awl, her eyes wide open, staring at me deadly.
I feel inexplicably sad, the poor people of the old town have had enough of their hard lives, and it is normal to have such a reaction when they find a gold bar that can change their fate. However, in the same situation, I may not act as greedy and excited as she is, because everyone has their own principles in life.
"Don't scream, don't scream!" Sha Lao rushed over with his fist, grabbed Grandma Sha's neck with his right arm, and covered Grandma Sha's mouth with his left hand.
He is a person who has practiced martial arts, and this clamp has at least 200 catties of strength, how can a housewife like Grandma Sha stand it? In an instant, Grandma Sha's feet left the ground, her body struggled and twisted violently, she couldn't say a word, and her throat gurgled.
"Don't scream, the things belong to the Xia family, you don't know the things of other families, how can I gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes in the future? If it spreads, my old Sha will be embarrassed? Can I still walk with my chest held high on Qushuiting Street?" Sha Lao roared viciously with his fist, like an old buffalo that had been completely enraged.
I immediately stepped forward, clasped the numb tendon on the right elbow of Sha Lao's fist with both hands, and pressed the two thumbs with force, and the right arm of Sha Lao's fist immediately bounced away involuntarily, letting go of Grandma Sha's neck.
"She's going to die. "I pushed Sha Lao on the shoulder of his fist and pushed him sideways.
Grandma Sha was already lying down softly, her body hunched, and only a faint gasp in her nostrils remained.
I bent down to test her snort, but it was only out of breath, not in and out of breath.
"Pinch her mid-body, pinch her mid-......" Sha Lao leaned his fist against the corner of the wall, panting vigorously, unable to move.
I pressed the tip of my right thumb against Grandma Sha's acupoint and pressed it seven or eight times in a row.
Grandma Sha coughed faintly a few times, and finally woke up.
"Dead old woman, don't die, on Huangquan Road, you have to be my companion in a few years!" Sha Lao scolded with his fist, but he scolded with the kind of love that belonged to ordinary people.
Young couples and old companions, although they quarrel every day, in the eyes of outsiders, they are incompatible, and they can hardly get by, but at the critical moment, they still reveal their true feelings, which makes people sigh.
"Dead ...... Can't die, you dare to murder the old lady...... The old lady fought with you, fought with you......" Grandma Sha responded weakly.
Sha Lao sneered out with his fist, with both laughter and crying in his voice: "Fight, fight, I'm waiting for you to get up and fight with me...... Ahem, ahem, dead old woman, are you going to scare me to death? If you die, you will kill me......
"Stones, these things ......" As soon as Grandma Sha sat up, she immediately pounced forward again, suppressing the pile of gold bars.
I lifted the long strip of things that were holding down the stack of books, and my heart was shocked.
There are nine volumes in that stack, and each volume has an ancient seal font on it, which is the name of ancient Kyushu.
"Shenzhou Nine Blades? It turned out to be the sword spectrum of Shenzhou Nine Blades?" I immediately understood.
Compared with gold bars, this is the treasure, but ordinary people like Sha Lao Fist and Sha Grandma don't understand it at all. With the book, I have all the secrets of the "Nine Swords of Shenzhou", and I can inherit the peerless martial arts of the Xia clan and become a ranger in the modern downtown area.
I picked up the book and looked at Grandma Sha, who was holding the gold bars.
"Give it to him, give it to other people's children, this is Lao Xia's thing. Sha Lao said with a fist.
He staggered over and grabbed Grandma Sha's right foot and tried to drag Grandma Sha away.
Grandma Sha struggled hard, kicked with her right foot, and shook Sha Lao's fist away.
"It's mine, it's my gold!" said Grandma Sha firmly.
"Let's have a face, old woman, the gold was entrusted to me by Brother Xia, we have no money to live, don't live if we don't have a face!" Sha Lao raised his fist to the sky and sighed.
Grandma Sha suddenly straightened her upper body, like an old seal that had climbed ashore.
She pointed at me with the index fingers of both hands: "Yes, yes, the gold was entrusted to us by Brother Xia, but Brother Xia also said that the gold is for the stones, not for the stones." If you want to take it back, you have to call Chengzi to get it. Now, I don't take the gold privately, but I have to let Chengzi take it. Now, if Chengzi were to stand in front of me, I would promise to give him a lot of them. ”
I suddenly felt a chill in my heart, because Grandma Sha is now picking out words, for the sake of this gold, she has disregarded the face of the neighbors, disrespectful for the elderly, and unkind and unjust.
Big brother Xia Cheng has disappeared forever, even if I look for the ends of the earth, I can't let him stand here and receive this gold.
"Stone, look at it, look at it......" Sha Lao spread his fists and hands, looking helpless.
I nodded: "Sha Ye, Sha Grandma, you are right, the gold was entrusted to you by my grandfather, and then it will be handed over to my eldest brother." Take it first, keep it well. ”
Everyone is rare in gold bars, and everyone likes money, but at this moment, the demand for gold is not so strong in the "Shenzhou Nine Blades" knife spectrum I have, even if I don't take it, it's not a big deal. What's more, looking at Grandma Sha's posture today, if you want to take away the gold bars, you have to step on her corpse and walk over.
Sha Lao Fist and Grandma Sha were stunned, I didn't expect me to put on such an attitude.
I ignored them, didn't want to see their faces, grabbed the book, turned and left.
The old couple of the Sha family did this, which really lost the face of the old Jinan people and everyone on Qushuiting Street.
Shandong people are famous all over the world for their "righteousness and righteousness", and the story of one hundred and eight heroes in Shuibo Liangshan has become a popular literary figure all over the world. Therefore, when outsiders mention Shandong people, they have to give a thumbs up and praise the word "good".
Righteousness is what we Shandong people are proud of, especially the characters in the rivers and lakes, if they can't even do "righteousness and commitment", they will put on a human skin of Jinan people in vain.
I went out of the North House and into the courtyard.
When I saw the pile of dirt and the pit again, I felt very glaring.
Grandpa really entrusted the wrong person, he didn't see through Sha Lao's fist at all, and he mistakenly believed others, and finally caused today's disaster.
"Stone, stone, stone......" Sha Lao cried out with his fist to catch up.
I turned around, and he chased after the jar, stumbling and stumbling.
"Stone, I have to move this jar home for you, you wait, let's go over together. He explained breathlessly.
I didn't want to speak, so I walked to the courtyard gate, and Sha Lao followed with his fist holding the jar.
The hustle and bustle of the old town during the day has all subsided, and at night, the tourists who are nostalgic for Qushuiting Street also leave.
Walking in the alley, I can clearly hear the gurgling sound of the spring water flowing in the partition wall.
Taking the opportunity to send Ming Qianying back to the old mansion, I jumped out of the "mirror room" to calm my mind for the time being, and I will soon kill again, because Tang Wan is still there, and the upcoming battle will also be launched on the ground floor of the building.
I had to go back, and not be a shameful deserter on the eve of the big war.
"Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I won't be able to hear the sound of the spring, like Ming Qianying, turning into a cold corpse, lying quietly in the ice coffin of the old house-" Thinking about it, I also have a deep nostalgia for the sound of the spring.
After entering the old mansion, Sha Lao closed the door with his fist, and then told me in a low voice: "Stone, the old woman is ignorant and shameless, and left ten gold bars...... And I counted a hundred gold bars, and the remaining ninety were in this jar. And the knife wrapped in rags, which I also put in the jar. So I'll put you in the north room. ”
He raised his leg and wanted to go to the north house, but I immediately held down the jar and said coldly: "Put it here, this matter is over here, don't mention it again." ”
Perhaps from their starting point, it is already a great loss to keep only ten of a hundred gold bars. Leaving ten and ninety is enough to be worthy of me and my grandfather's entrustment.
"Stone, listen to me, your grandfather is gone, and our old guys in the neighborhood won't live for a few years, and they have struggled all their lives, and they haven't left anything for the children, so they will ...... You know, I'm sorry for Old Brother Xia, I'm sorry for your Xia family...... Stone, now, Grandpa Sha, I beg you for one thing, save me a face, don't go to the street to talk about this, so that I can live to death with this face, okay child?"
