Chapter 800: Peddling Hedgehogs
Wang Meng was afraid that the scrapie would infect him, so he moved his body to the other side of the bed to sleep, and gradually snored, until he woke up in the early hours of the morning, he saw Liu Mei's eyes darkened after rubbing on the bed for a night, and said You really shouldn't have brought the hedgehog back, and now, you have sold the hedgehog, and the money from the sale is not enough for you to treat scrapie.
No matter how much it can be sold for, it can always make up a little money to cure scrapie. Liu Mei said this, and got up to wash. She glanced at the hedgehog, hating and regretting it, she shouldn't have touched it, she really wanted to burn it to death like the gray mouse, but it was not worth it.
At this time, the hedgehog was crawling around the room, but always not far, a rope tied to it, it bit with its mouth, but the bite kept coming. Its beak is as funny as the sharp beak of a large bird, and when it is curled up, it is impossible to see its head, let alone its mouth.
After Liu Mei washed, she released the chickens in the cage, and when the chickens saw the hedgehog in the room, they felt strange and "clucked", and some jumped up and flew like a bump, as if they were afraid of this monster's sneak attack. Liu Mei is also a little afraid of it, her fingers are itchy, her body is itchy, she doesn't want to move it, but she has to move, she asked Wang Meng to find a snakeskin bag, open the bag, pick up the hedgehog with fire scissors and put it in, and now there seems to be a voice in her ear telling her: Don't touch it, the thorns on its body are poisonous.
On the north side of the city's bazaar is a slender cement-hardened street, with cars in the middle and people on both sides, and it is not accurate to say that there are people walking, most of them are the stops of temporary businessmen who have no stalls, and they put stacks of small specialties brought from the countryside, waiting for customers to pick them up. At this moment, their business was relatively light, and many people were watching a handless soft-legged disabled person write, he used a piece of chalk between his toes to write his life experience on the concrete floor in the form of a seven-character poem, the handwriting was quite respectful, people took pity on him for his ill-fated fate, and some threw some coins or small amounts of banknotes in front of him......
After a while, Liu Mei came with the snakeskin bag, she shook the mouth of the bag and turned it upside down, and the hedgehog slipped from it and fell to the ground, and did not crawl, and shrank into a ball in great horror.
Liu Mei is not good at shouting, there are no customers to ask the price, she is a little upset, and her body is very itchy, she can't be like at home, where the itch goes, especially scratching the lower body, it is impossible to act in public, that is not only unsightly, but also makes people laugh, not to mention that she is a woman, her behavior can not be messed around, you must pay attention to it. It was too itchy on her body, and she had to endure it, so she couldn't help it, so she didn't put her two hands into her clothes, but rubbed them vigorously through the cloth. She hopes to sell the hedgehog and get some money for medical treatment.
Although it was only two yuan, she didn't want to take it out, but she didn't want to take it out, and only said that she didn't often do business, and the reason why she came today was because she wanted to treat the disease, and the administrator asked what disease to treat, and she told the reason for the scrapie, and she was afraid that people would not believe it, so she rolled up a hand sleeve and let him see the red lump like a shrimp beetle on his arm. The caretaker felt some sympathy for her, and walked away as if he hadn't seen her.
Liu Mei looked at the crowd gathered around to watch the disabled people write, she didn't want to look more, and stared at the hedgehog that was motionless like the scourge and sighed and rubbed the itch on her body.
Liu Mei waited for several hours, but no customer approached her, only children stared at the hedgehog and pointed at it strangely. She thought that the opportunity had come, so she said, "The child called your mother to come and buy it." A child glanced at Liu Mei, who was tickling her body from time to time, and quietly walked away and did not come back; Some of the children were taken away by adults, and some ran to the disabled person to watch the fun.
At this moment, Liu Mei thought of something, stood up, approached the disabled person who was gradually thinning out of the onlookers, and said to him: You are not disabled, and your handwriting is very beautiful, can you help me write an advertisement. The disabled person looked up at the strange woman in front of him who asked for help, and said excitedly as if he had a place to use: Okay, what kind of advertisement? I can only write chalk words on the ground now. If you want to write on paper, you don't have the conditions, you have to prepare your own paper and ink.
I also just need to write on the ground, you see. Liu Mei pointed sideways to a hedgehog placed there and said.
The disabled person looked at her finger and asked what to write? Liu Mei said that she waited for a long time and still couldn't sell hedgehogs, so you wrote that hedgehogs are a good medicine for stomach problems, and people with stomach problems can relieve their pain if they eat them. Now hedgehogs are sold cheaply and the price is negotiable.
Several onlookers who had not yet left looked at that side in unison, only to see the hedgehog crawling quietly. It turned out that someone was there and it was huddled up and pretended to be dead; As soon as the man walked away, it aimed at the opportunity to try to escape, this is not the mountain, it is the street, there are slippery concrete floors everywhere, where is there a gap for it to hide?
Unexpectedly, the disabled person didn't say anything, and returned the chalk between his toes, and everyone thought that he was going to change to a longer chalk, because this powder hair was only half cut off, but he didn't change the longer chalk, but put a half-new shoe on his feet, frowned and crawled over, and kicked the hedgehog unexpectedly, Liu Mei was a little angry when she saw this, and immediately stopped him in front of him, not letting him continue to kick, saying that if you don't write me advertising words, you shouldn't kick my hedgehog, kick to death, stink, how can you sell it? She was about to say, you kicked the hedgehog to death, I want you to pay compensation, but when she saw that the disabled person couldn't afford to pay compensation, she yelled: Get out!
The disabled man scurried his forehead at her like an enraged bull, and struck a desperate posture. At this moment, a middle-aged man came out of there and persuaded: Don't make any noise, I bought this hedgehog. He looked at Liu Mei and said: Do you make a price?
One hundred dollars. The people present were silent, thinking that the price was too high, and that the hedgehog was killed and skinned for less than a pound of meat, which was more expensive than the seafood transported from the coast to the mainland.
At this time, the disabled man quietly crawled away, and everyone no longer looked at his tricks, but paid attention to the outrageous price of the business. Liu Mei also realized it, and she said to the middle-aged man, do you think I shouted expensive? Actually, I also feel that it is expensive. She rolled up her sleeves again, revealing a large red and swollen elbow, and she told the reason why she had been itchy from touching the hedgehog and wanted some money to cure the itch.
The middle-aged man felt pity when he heard this, handed a hundred yuan to Liu Mei, and said that since this is the case, I should send a little money for you to treat the disease, and besides, I bought this hedgehog and ate it, if I can cure my stomach disease, it is worth it, and if I can't cure it, I won't regret it.
Liu Mei glanced at him gratefully, quickly hid the money she had taken, and then wrapped the hedgehog in a snakeskin bag, and instructed the middle-aged man: You have to be careful not to touch it, it will be troublesome if it is stained with poisonous gas. Seeing that Liu Mei was happy, the middle-aged man nodded straight with a snakeskin bag filled with a hedgehog.
In a hospital bustling with patients, Liu Mei sat in front of the doctor, stretched out a pair of hands, which were full of red and swollen pimples, she said that there were still on her body, the doctor asked about the situation, prescribed a prescription, she took it around the hospital corridor, went to the pharmacy window to pay 89 yuan, and got a package of medicine, including rubbing paste, swallowed pills, and anti-inflammatory potions.
