Chapter 8 A Butt of Foreign Debt
"With the wine in hand and the meat in my hand, I walked home." Chang Lai sang all the way into the house, and suddenly a strong wind hit, Chang Lai didn't have time to dodge, he was choked by the neck, and what attacked him was a man in black with a pockmarked face.
"This hero, if you have something to say, we have all the money you want, so it's easy to discuss." The incident happened suddenly, Chang Lai was so frightened that he raised his hands, and the things in his hands were also raised, what is the situation.
"Don't talk nonsense, take a hundred taels of silver, and let go of your family of three, four, and five." The pockmarked man in black pointed to Shuqi and the doll she was holding, then to Chang Wang lying on the ground, and finally to the old cow in the cowshed.
At this time, Chang Lai saw clearly that Shuqi was holding the doll, and was being compared to the neck with a knife by another man in black, and the old cow was also making a 'moo' cry in the cowshed.
"Isn't it just a hundred taels? As for letting the big brother make such a big move, you let go of your hand first". Chang Lai slowly turned his head and looked at Shuqi.
"Take the money and release people, nonsense." Seeing Chang Lai say this, although the pockmarked man in black had a hard mouth, his hand was loose.
"This hanging money, buying wine for the two of you, is not counted in the hundred taels." Chang Lai slowly put down the food in his hand, reached into his arms, and took out the money that was not yet hot, the pain in his heart was so painful that he had to please him.
The pockmarked man in black took the money with one hand and weighed it, and then put down the other hand, glanced at the other man in black, and then said: "Count you kid clever, what about a hundred taels?" ”
"Don't worry, hero, listen to me tell you, you have also seen this condition in my family, and you must not be able to find one." Chang Lai said this, the pockmarked man in black 'Huh? After a gesture and wanted to pinch him again, Chang Lai hurriedly reached out to hold his arm and continued: "Don't worry, listen to me, today I took a big job, this hanging money is just a deposit, after the fact, I have three hundred taels of silver to take, if the two can give me a face today, and when the money is in hand, I will give you two hundred taels first, and in order to repay the grace of the two, I will pay another fifty taels of filial piety, what do you think?" Chang Lai accompanied the smiling face, and the hand that was originally holding the arm of the pockmarked man in black touched two handfuls on his sleeve.
"So, how many days?" The man in black groaned slightly, obviously moved by the huge amount of fifty taels, he is also doing things for others, and it would be good to get two or three taels of commissions, but this time it will be fifty taels, who is not impressed.
"Ten days, no more than one day, no less one day, from now on, you count the days, early in the morning of the tenth day, I will be at the place where you pinch me, waiting for you to come." Chang Lai bowed down and clasped his fists with both hands, pointed to his feet again, and said to the black man in pockmarks.
"Lao Tzu will make an exception for you, but not for ten days, five days, at most five days." As soon as the man in black stretched out his hand, five fingers compared to Chang Lai's eyes.
"Five days ... It's a little tighter, alas, who let me see that you are a bright and bold real man, five days is five days. Chang Lai's expression hesitated slightly, and he immediately stretched out five fingers happily and said happily.
The two men in black left, and when they walked to the door, Chang Lai seemed to see the two of them hugging their heads and saying a few words, and then laughed and jumped. Eh, no, what a mess was taken away by someone a bunch of money, and I still owe a debt of one hundred and fifty taels, just now I patronized to save my life, and now I came back to my senses, and quickly pulled the book chess into the house.
"I offended Brother De's three patrons, they made me lose a hundred taels, I have no money, they want to pull me to go to the Qinglou, that's it." Shuqi looked at Chang Lai aggrievedly.
"Qinglou? Isn't it a smashing deal for you to go to the Qinglou like this? ”
"Who's to say it isn't? Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not proficient in everything, singing tunes, dancing will not step on the point. ”
"Brother De is really, isn't this harming the owner of the Qinglou?"
The two of you are talking about jokes on the surface, but in their hearts they are thinking about what to do next.
"You said you took on a big job, did you really make up this thing?" Shuqi suddenly remembered something, stared at Chang Lai and asked.
"You can doubt me, it's also smart, it's three hundred taels, and I can't earn three taels, so far, there is only one plan." Chang Lai narrowed his eyes and held out a finger.
"Which plan? I can't bully the weak, bully the weak and fear the hard, rob the house, although I have kung fu, but my kung fu ......". "Stop, stop! Why didn't you beat them just now if you have kung fu, I just remembered. Before Shuqi could finish speaking, Chang Lai interrupted her.
"I'm going to beat them, but this isn't a girl, I'm afraid that I will fight with them and accidentally hurt the girl......." Wait, who is Yaya? You give this little baby a name? Once again, Shuqi's words were interrupted by Changlai.
"Well, yes, I wanted to find a chance to escape with Yaya, but you came back, oh yes, what plan do you say?" Shuqi asked after explaining.
"Empty City Plan!" Chang Lai pretended to be deep, his eyes squinting.
"It's just to run away, but I can't hide from the fifteenth year of junior high school, unless we don't come back, but what about my brother?" Books and chess are difficult.
"If you sell us all, you won't be able to sell it for so much money, don't you run and wait for me to be killed, will you be sent to the Qinglou?" Chang Lai's tone was angry.
"You take the maid and run away, I'll ...... if it's a big deal." Shuqi paused in the middle of speaking.
"What's the big deal?" I often come to ask questions.
"It's a big deal to learn from scratch, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you can always learn seven, seven, eight, eight." Shuqi looked serious.
"You seven, seven, eighty, eight big-tailed wolves, piano and chess, fucking calligraphy and painting, you, you, you, have no talent, you are singing, dancing, playing chess and painting in the Qinglou, you have to be able to hook up with men!" said that he was in a hurry, Chang Lai slapped the table, and the girl was so frightened that she cried.
"Hook up with guys...... Will it be taught in the green building? Is it more difficult than piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Shuqi continued to ask questions without knowing what to do, hugging the maid and patting and coaxing.
"You, you, you, you're angry with me, I'm ......" Chang Lai was halfway through speaking, and suddenly the anger on his face disappeared and turned into a thoughtful look.
"What's wrong with you, are you stupid? Are you okay? Shuqi stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Changlai's eyes.
"Don't talk, don't interrupt my train of thought." Chang Lai didn't read books and chess, maintained his original posture, and continued to be concentrated.
Shuqi no longer spoke, only glanced at Chang Lai from time to time.
I don't know how long it took, Chang Lai slapped his thigh and shouted, "It's okay!" ”
Shuqi picked up the food packed in the yard, it was hot in the kitchen, Chang Lai also tore open the wine seal, this meal was eaten, Chang Lai was full of confidence, with a look of wanting to do something big, Shuqi ate and fed the girl, and didn't dare to say or ask.
After dinner, at the request of Changlai, Shuqi brought him paper and pen, the paper was left over from his younger brother's writing, and the pen was also, but the ink was gone, looking at the flawed pen, and a pile of paper like leftovers, Chang Lai sighed.
Ten cents exchanged a few pieces of paper and a piece of ink from the doctor at the village hospital, so the following scene appeared.
Grinding calligraphy and chess, Chang Lai smoothed out the brush with hard work and began to write on paper.
Lyrics, rehearsals, dress, poems, balabala's writing, that paper, I have never seen such a pitiful buried paper, the words are like crazy weeds, or forked crazy weeds, and there are a few places where a few holes have been punctured due to Chang Lai's impassionedness.
"Brother Chang, what are you drawing, why can't I understand it." Looking left and right at Shuqi, I can't recognize a single word.
"It's too much brain to explain to you now, I'll talk to you in detail when I'm smooth, let's stop here today, I'll go to sleep." Chang Lai rolled up the paper, picked up the pen and the rest of the ink and was about to leave the house.
"Brother Chang, thank you today, that ...... Or you. Shuqi looked at the kang in the back room and did not continue.
"Or I'll sleep in the house, hahaha, okay, the girl is embarrassed to say it, I understand, I'll say it for you, hehehe." Chang Lai smiled, and walked towards the kang.
"No, why don't you take the quilt and go out, it's a little cold." Shuqi hurriedly waved his hand.
"I don't need to." Retracting his steps, Chang Lai glanced at Shuqi resentfully and walked out of the house.
It wasn't until the lights went out in the chess room that Chang Lai pressed the sheep's head on his arm three times and entered the space.
There are a lot of ancient songs that are popular on the Internet, and there are not a few who know the tune, but he can't remember the lyrics clearly, and he came in to write down these lyrics on paper.
At this moment, the Qinglou woman who wanted to commit suicide on the bridge must be honestly hiding in the quilt, and Chang Lai, who promised to give her a practice, is indeed giving her a practice.
Chang Lai originally planned to trick her into eating and drinking, taking the money and leaving, what to do, what to see you on the bridge the next day, it was all hellish nonsense.
But just now, when he was talking about Qinglou with calligraphy and chess, and when he was talking about qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, suddenly a door opened to him.
The woman who was born was not bad, but she was dressed frivolously and exaggeratedly, and her heavy makeup was smeared, but it covered up her original color, if she could wash away the lead, change into a fresh dress, and then teach her a few ancient songs on the list, this place will definitely achieve good results in this era, as for how to start and how to implement it, on this night, often come to write a good plan, step by step, after all, only five days, five days, no, four days, four days they have to get the first pot of gold, success or not, can only try.
Chang Lai frantically copied the lyrics on the paper, "Half a Pot of Yarn" has a beautiful melody and heart-piercing lyrics, this is the first song of the main song.
The ink has entered the water to cross a pool of blue and white flowers
Pick up five red glow and pick bamboo home
The wind comes to bury a mulberry hemp
Put down the acacia in a robe
Ten miles of peach blossoms to be married
The pearls of the phoenix crown are pulled into the hair
Sandalwood brushes over the jade bracelet to make a light yarn
Leave a bud-colored tea empty
If you see the mountains and rivers in my heart, you can see them all
I prayed one lotus at a time
How do you know that the floating grass years urge people to grow old
The wind and moon flowers and birds smiled at the dust
