Chapter 12 Chicken and Dog Pieces
The charter wife is fat and strong, and she has a loud voice, shouting in the yard, and the yard next door can easily hear it.
There was a burst of chickens and dogs, and nearly ten people in the compound were awakened.
A thin black head sticked out of the west window, and after seeing Yu Lie, the other party's eyes lit up, revealing the appearance of watching a good show.
This person was Shan Daotong, he leaned against the window, shirtless, and shouted at Yu Lie with a smile: "Yo! This is Yu Lie's home, where have you been going to be happy lately? Share it with your brothers! ”
Everyone in the room poked their heads out to watch the show, and some even moved out of the stool and gathered at the door to eat melon seeds.
It's just that Zhengjiao hasn't appeared yet, and the big guys in the miscellaneous courtyard are just looking at it with a smile, and few people come forward to talk to Yu Lie and the chartered mother-in-law.
And Yu Lie stood in the courtyard, he looked at the charter wife and the group of neighbors, and laughed in his heart.
Except for the charter wife and her baby son, the rest of the people who live here are Taoist children, and they also belong to the same group as Yu Lie.
More than a year ago, when the big guys first came to Blackwater Town, they all boasted that they had passed the Dao Urn exam, and they were very reserved and decent. But after more than a year of hammering, there is no difference between the village women and peasant women, who pour urine buckets, grab thatched pits, eat and scold their mothers on weekdays, all of them, and they like to watch the excitement the most when they are idle.
For Yu Lie, if he was faced with this kind of lively situation before taking the food and transforming, he might be embarrassed and angry.
But now that he has stepped into the path, and when he faces this group of neighbors watching the excitement and shouting charter wives, Yu Lie only feels that the other party is noisy and ridiculous.
However, Yu Lie really has no money now, so he also bowed his hand to the charter wife and said with a smile:
"Money is tight, mother-in-law will give a few days of grace first, and then give it a few days later."
When the charter lady heard Yu Lie's words, she immediately raised her eyebrows and scratched Yu Lie's eyes a few times, and then she carried the chicken and came to a side room and slammed the door directly and shouted:
"Sister Park, come out quickly! Today's big guy, I'm still waiting for your sister-in-law's food money! ”
There was a loud banging on the door.
As soon as there was a few rings, a female Taoist in a gray robe kicked the door and walked out of the room. Her face was medium, but she had a slender figure and straight legs, and even in her wide robe, her curves were looming.
After the female Taoist came out, the idlers watching the play in the courtyard did not immediately coax, but suppressed their laughter.
The female Taoist's surname was Pu Mingxing, her eyebrows and eyes were cold, she first glanced at Yu Lie next to her, and then took out a few talismans from her sleeve and threw them to the charter wife.
The charter lady caught it, counted it and found that it was only ten, and was about to say that this was not enough for a month's food expenses, but she saw the impatience on Pu Xing's face, and wisely put out the fire.
The charter lady also hurriedly bowed down, the expression on her face changed, she arched, smiled and said, "You're polite!" It's really disturbing Sister Park, you rest, my mother-in-law will kill chicken and simmer soup for my sister today! ”
And the female Taoist glanced at the charter woman, she didn't bother to squeak, she just frowned and said coldly to Yu Lie:
"Isn't there a shame? In! ”
After saying that, the female Taoist snorted coldly and walked into the wing. Yu Lie frowned when he faced this scene, but he followed behind the other party as he said and walked towards the room.
Before Yu Lie entered the room, laughter and whistles sounded in the courtyard:
"And voila! It's still Brother Yu'er's good fortune, he has no money to use, and his mother-in-law is in charge. ”
"That is, someone is in charge, so that Brother Yu can lie in the yard for a year, and he doesn't have to go out to work at the risk of death!"
The charter wife was killing chickens in the yard, and she also laughed and scolded the tenants in the courtyard:
"A poor ghost, I'm embarrassed to laugh at Brother Yu! If you have the ability, you guys are also a good concubine! Drag money and owe money every day, a bunch of asshole things! ”
A single boy replied loudly: "Chartered wife, how do you know that we don't have assholes, but peeked at me and waited for Gong?" Then do you know that Brother Yu'er's butt protein is not white? Hahaha! ”
Vulgar and vulgar laughter and scolding came and went in the courtyard.
When Yu Lie and Pu Xing in the wing room heard this, their brows were furrowed, and their faces were a little unbearable.
But it's like this all year round in the courtyard, laughing and scolding each other, calling their father and insulting their mother, and they have no decency, and the two of them have stayed long enough to get used to it.
In addition, although the shantytown is chaotic, it is also in the town, it is managed by someone, and the people who live there are also mixed people, so it cannot be easily made.
So whether it was Yu Lie or Pu Xing, they just took the vulgar sound outside the house as a deaf ear and ignored it. It's just that Yu Lie listened, and the idea of moving out in his heart was even worse.
Yu Lie hadn't put forward this idea yet, and the female Taoist in front of him also scolded in a low voice: "This place, no one can stand it, and sooner or later move out!" ”
Pu Xing raised her head and found that Yu Lie was staring at her, so she frowned and said, "If you haven't returned home for more than ten days, I think you're dead." Now that I'm back, I'm going to wash the clothes in the corner first! ”
With that, she walked barefoot onto the bed and posed, ready to continue her channeling practice.
The charter lady called her just now, and the reason why she didn't open the door immediately was because she was practicing, and she was still sweating and a little wet.
Yu Lie followed Pu Xing's words and looked at the corner of the wall, and sure enough, he saw a bunch of changed Taoist robes and practice robes, many of which were already tattered, and there were dried sweat stains and blood stains, faintly emitting a stench.
Looking at this pile of stinky clothes, Yu Lie finally couldn't help laughing.
His laughter disturbed the female Taoist next to him, the female Taoist had not yet started practicing, and after glancing at Yu Lie unhappily, she thought about it and ordered: "Forget it, wash it later, or come up first to help me activate my muscles and bones." ”
In addition to refining, it can also be supplemented by massage, acupuncture and other means, which can better help Taoists strengthen their bodies.
As Pu Xing spoke, she lifted her robe as if nothing had happened. She didn't pay attention to the rest of the column next to her, the rest of the column was just a tool for her.
This person first threw the robe on Yu Lie's body, his back exposed, and then he lay down on the wooden bed in the wing, covered in sweat.
But when Yu Lie came back today, he didn't continue to wash the other party's clothes and press his body, he shook the woman's robe, hung it aside, and sat on the chair by himself.
Yu Lie said: "I came back today to say something. ”
"This place is not suitable for long, I plan to move out of this yard,"
The female Taoist saw that Yu Lie had not yet gone to bed, and was disgusted with Yu Lie's slow speech, and suddenly heard Yu Lie say this, she was stunned.
Pu Xing turned her head and squinted at Yu Lie. She withdrew her gaze and replied contemptuously, "By you? It's easy to say, as if someone is happy to stay here. ”
"Eating and practicing the Fa, which one doesn't cost money? Now I'm a two-inflected body, but I can only live in this hellish place. And you don't even dare to go to work, and you can't afford to pay for food, what qualifications do you have to say this? ”
Yu Lie was no longer the original "Brother Yu", and he also had confidence in his heart, but he was too lazy to talk to the other party, let alone pull, so he just shook his head, stood up and said:
"I'm not talking to you, I'm just telling you." With that, he rummaged through his room to find his things.
In fact, there were not many things left in the room, pots and pans and the like were all shared, and he would not take them away. Yu Lie mainly wants to sort out his practice notes, and he can't leave them out, these are all his hard work for more than a year.
The female Taoist Pu Xing may have seen Yu Lie's attitude for the first time, her face showed surprise, and she felt that Yu Lie in front of her was a little unfamiliar, so she didn't say anything for a while.
When she reacted, Pu Xing saw that Yu Liezhen was collecting things, or packing up the most important books and papers, her brows were twisted, and she seemed to think of something.
In other words, what the charter wife and others said is actually not wrong, the relationship between Yu Lie and the female Taoist in front of him is nothing else, or "concubine"!
It's just that in Yu Lie's own opinion, this situation should be called a roommate. After all, everyone is a cultivator, how can they be called concubines and concubines?
In the more than a year since he came to Blackwater Town, Yu Lie has been getting along with the female Taoist in front of him day and night, squeezing into this small wing room to live together.
However, although they live together, in fact, the chores in the house and the yard are all contracted to Yu Lie. Yu Lie also has to pour tea and water for the "concubine" on weekdays, assisting the other party in cultivation, almost a child husband.
In addition, Yu Lie was on the road and hibernate for more than a year, during which he went out without looking for work, which made the people in the yard laugh at him, thinking that he was a white-faced head and was raised by others.
In fact, Yu Lie was at most sheltered by Pu Xing, using the other party as a backer, exchanging coolies for stability, and avoiding some troubles in the town.
Now that the rest of the column is no longer what it used to be, it is natural that it will no longer be tiring. He couldn't live this kind of life for a long time, and he has been looking forward to a one-size-fits-all clean.
After a while, Yu Lie packed up his things, he picked up a book, and after arching his hand towards the other party, he strode out of the house, his footsteps faintly excited.
The female Taoist finally couldn't lie down, she jumped up with her bare legs, and shouted coldly: "Stop! ”
The rest of the column ignored it.
"You dare to go?! Get back! "The nature of the female Taoist is exposed, and her voice is sharp and piercing, like a wild cat in heat.
The people in the courtyard heard it at once, and they all gathered up their voices and pricked up their ears to listen.
But Yu Lie heard the shouts coming from behind him, and still did not stop at all, opened the door and walked outside.
As soon as he came to the courtyard, the big guy who was already watching the excitement was even more energetic, and he looked at Yu Lie fiercely.
Facing the chickens and dogs in the miscellaneous courtyard and the long-tongued idlers, Yu Lie's mood was not good. He just glanced at the crowd, arched his hand, and continued to stride towards the gate of the courtyard.
At this time, the female Taoist in the wing room had already rushed out of the room. She didn't even tie her clothes, her face was gloomy, and she just wrapped her body tightly.
Such a scene made the spectators in the courtyard even more energetic, and their mouths made a tsk:
"You two can take it easy, there are children in the yard."
Some people who were originally afraid of Pu Xing couldn't help but laugh secretly: "What kind of system is this, everyone is a serious Taoist person!" ”
Pu Xing stood in front of the door, she looked at Yu Lie hatefully, and wanted to scold a lot of words in her stomach, but she was suddenly stared at by a pair of eyes in the courtyard, and heard high or low laughter, Pu Xing's face couldn't hold back.
She suppressed her anger and just scolded in a low voice: "The surname is Yu, get back!" I have something to tell you! ”
Yu Lie on the opposite side had already walked to the door of the courtyard, the water in front of the door was a puddle, and the splashing sound was constantly coming from under his feet.
Feeling the eyes of the people behind him, as well as Pu Xing's shouts, Yu Lie finally paused and turned around.
He looked at the people in the courtyard and saw faces of joy, happiness, or disdain, as well as Park Xing's resentful expression.
Yu Lie smiled dumbly, he stood tall, waved his sleeves, and arched his hand towards the female Taoist and said:
"The road is long, the end of the song is scattered, and I hope that Park Daoyou will cherish it. Today's money is worth remembering. ”
He looked at the others in the courtyard and said, "Fellow travelers, don't leave it at that." ”
After saying that, Yu Lie made a joke and stepped out of the courtyard without looking back.
The moment he stepped out, there happened to be mist by the river, which was coming down the street.
The mist entered through the doorway, poured into the courtyard, rolled and squirmed, and after the body of Yu Lie stepped into it, it shook and disappeared into the mist, like a mountain ghost.
A bunch of people in the courtyard were a little stunned when they looked at the scene in front of them, they seemed to have never seen Yu Lie so hard and neat.
Pu Xing was also stunned, she once again felt strange and empty, but she felt a sense of resentment for being betrayed.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes hateful, her teeth gritted loudly, and the corners of her mouth hardened.
On the other side, the people in the courtyard reacted and realized that it was Yu Lie and Pu Xing who had a quarrel, and the former left the courtyard directly.
Originally, among the smiling spectators, some people were stunned, and some people watched the drama faster.
The charter wife was stunned, and hurriedly ran to Pu Xing's side. She rubbed her hands and asked Pu Xing: "It's so surprising to my mother-in-law, Brother Yu has just come back...... Is he really gone, not coming back?! ”
"Then there will be another new guest in this courtyard!" The charter lady smiled with folds on her face,
There is a fixed number of people that can be accommodated in the miscellaneous courtyard, and if the rest of the house is abandoned and leaves, the charter wife can recruit a new tenant and earn another settling-in fee.
And as long as Yu Lie does not die, the three-year house money agreed to be given to her by the town will continue to be given...... Among them, there are a lot of doors, and the charter wife relies on these to raise herself and her son to be fat and fat, which is more nourishing than ordinary Taoist children.
When Pu Xing heard the words of the charter wife, the expression on her face immediately changed.
She didn't want another roommate in the room. The reason why she included Yu Lie in the wing room and agreed to partner with Yu Lie was because she fell in love with Yu Lie's handsome appearance and was convenient to call.
If there is another person, she will not be happy!
So Pu Xing rushed to the charter wife and said stiffly: "People haven't died yet, you want to make room?" Mother-in-law, you think so far! ”
She threw down a sentence contemptuously: "When the dog is hungry, it will naturally come back, and it has to keep the land." Then he slammed the door and entered the wing.
The charter wife was choked by Pu Xing and froze in place.
She was a little afraid of Pu Xing on weekdays, but now that she had no reason, she only dared to pestle at the door of Pu Xing's room and scolded secretly: "What a bitch raised!" It's your concubine who doesn't want you anymore, what kind of anger do I have with my mother-in-law! ”
The charter lady then wailed in a fake voice: "Alas! Now there is one less person, and if you don't pay the money, how should we live! No conscience. ”
There was a lot of laughter in the courtyard, and the others were sarcastic ridicule, watching the play, and the discussion was in full swing.
When Pu Xing in the room heard this, her resentment towards Yu Lie deepened. She didn't think that she was not, but she felt that Yu Lie suddenly came back and left suddenly, just to tease her, which made her secretly hate.
In fact, when the Taoist children of Blackwater Town first arrived here, it was difficult to survive, and it was common for them to work together. If it weren't for the fact that Pu Xing had a surplus of columns to share chores, she would definitely be several times worse than now.
For more than a year, Park Xing has also been a tool for Yu Lie, and today the "Ten Dollars Good Fate" happened.
And there are more people living together, and the collapse of houses and family separations are even more common.
Because it's so common, the people in the yard are used to it, and maybe tomorrow it will be themselves.
So everyone was happy for a while, and then they went back to their respective homes, closed the door, rested, practiced, and continued to break things.
Only the charter wife was killing the chickens, and she was still thinking about how she should find a "new concubine" for Pu Xing, earn some money, and respond to Pu Xing.
The charter lady didn't dare to choke in person, but there were many means behind her.
