After Tangshan came out of the bridge cave, it was past ten o'clock. He found a very inconspicuous little hotel, opened a room for eighty yuan, took a bath, and slept soundly. I didn't wake up until nine o'clock the next day, and I thought it was fucking cool not to go to school. In his more than ten years of student life, he has never slept until he wakes up naturally. For this reason alone, escaping school is undoubtedly a wise choice.

Tang Shan retreated from the room, carrying the remaining more than 1,900 yuan, and went to a breakfast stall on the street to eat breakfast first. In his life, he had never brought so much money to breakfast, and he couldn't help but be a little rich, looking at the porridge fritters of the fat girl next to him, with a look of disdain, he raised his voice and shouted to the boss:

"Have a bowl of shredded pork powder and fry two eggs."

This call attracted the attention of all diners. Especially the fat girl next to her, biting half of the fritters in her mouth, staring at Tang Shan with adoration like looking at a rare animal. In the end, the fritters didn't bite steadily, first slid to their chests, and then fell from their chests to the ground. Along with them, there were a few huge drops of saliva.

Tang Shan glanced at the fat girl, and thought, the face is too big, the eyes are too small, the legs are too short, the waist is too thick, and there is no breast, even if there are one or two fewer of these shortcomings, let my eyes have a landing point, and it will not be a problem for you to eat a bowl of rice noodles. Unfortunately, whoever made you look so ugly could only watch me eat shredded meat powder and two poached eggs.

In this way, Tang Shan finished the breakfast with vanity in the envious eyes of others.

After breakfast, Tang Shan went to find a rental house with his stomach straight. It didn't take much effort to see a sign on a broken wall in a place called Hebei Village, which said "There is a vacant house for rent". Following the instructions on the sign, Tang Shan walked into a three-story building. The lobby on the first floor looks like a small shop, but there are not many products in the cabinet, except for drinks, only instant noodles.

There are four mahjong tables in the center of the hall. At ten o'clock in the morning, three tables were empty, and three men and one woman were playing mahjong at the fourth table, ignoring Tangshan's entrance.

A man played a card and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, Tang Shan was nauseated, barely maintained basic politeness, and asked in the direction of the card table:

"Is the landlord here? I would like to rent a single room. ”

The only woman among the four was a fat woman in her forties, with a large face, a thick body, and a voice like a broken gong:

"Wait a minute, let them finish this shot."

Tang Shan wanted to laugh when he heard this, but looking at the faces of the other three men, they didn't look like good stubble, they were either hooligans or butchers, and he was in a strange place, so he couldn't be too arrogant, so he couldn't hold back a laugh, his eyes wandered, and he looked at the room. The house was old and old, full of wires and water pipes, like skinning a frog, full of meridians and veins.

After a while, the cannon on the mahjong table was finished. It was not the fat woman who won the card, which made her very angry, shook the card, and scolded:

"your lungs. I've put up with you for so long, but you've let the cannon go to someone else? ”

The three rude men burst into laughter.

The fat woman left the table, walked to Tangshan, looked him up and down, and asked with a suspicious face:

"Are you going to rent a house? It looks like a minor, is there a guardian? ”

Tang Shan lied in a thick voice: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm nineteen years old." ”

After speaking, he also put on an old-fashioned look. In fact, he was seventeen years old.

The fat woman didn't say anything anymore, walked in front and led the way, leading Tangshan to the second floor. Tang Shan repeatedly estimated in the back that the woman's height was less than 1.6 meters, and her weight was estimated to be 18, if she jumped off the table and her buttocks were down, it was enough to sit down on an ordinary adult man of about 1.7 meters. He couldn't help but feel a chill rise in his heart.

The room is very broken, it has not been renovated for some years, the wall skin is peeling, and the powder is falling on the floor. The single room is about ten square meters and puts only a single bed, a table and a chair. Besides, there is nothing else. There is a door frame in the back of the room, but there is no door, which leads to the bathroom.

The fat woman knocked on the door: "There is only one single room left, the rent is eight hundred a month, and the water and electricity bills are at your own expense." No deposit, no contract, pay a month to live for a month, no rent after the 8th of each month, and leave with your own luggage. ”

Tang Shan felt that the house was very bad and the rent was too expensive, but he was not in the mood to find a better room in another place. After hesitating for a moment, I thought to myself that it was difficult to say if I could live for a month if I could live for a month anyway, so let's rent it first. So, Li Jian took out 800 yuan from his arms and threw it into the hands of the fat woman.

Seeing that Tang Shan was young, but he was so happy to pay, the fat woman narrowed her eyes, squeezed the meat on her face straight back, revealing a smile that was rare for a thousand years, and her voice was also a lot:

"Little turkey (lad), look at you like you're a good guy. Oops, just call me Ah Lian. Go back downstairs and give you the key to the door. ”

Tang Shan had goosebumps all over his body.

This morning, Tang Shan went to buy himself a duffel bag, a few changes of clothes, a mat, a quilt and a pillow. There was very little money left.

At noon, Tang Shan lay on the bed and took out the piece of paper given by the old rascal last night, which was densely filled with chess footwork, and he didn't know why for a long time. I wanted to throw it in the trash, but I felt that the old rascal was so solemn when he gave it, and he claimed that it took him thirty years to figure it out, no matter what, it was a bit too much to throw away other people's thirty years of hard work.

Of course, it is difficult to say whether thirty years is true or not, but the point is that the old rascal seems to be very righteous to him, and last night he gave him all the two thousand yuan he earned without blinking an eye. Now that I think about it, I'm still a little inexplicably moved.

Tang Shan decided to keep this piece of broken paper for a while. So I carefully folded it and inserted it into a leatherette wallet I had just bought in the morning.

In the afternoon, Tang Shan came to the bridge again, and the old hooligans had already set up a position, not a chess endgame, but a stall selling fake medicines. It seems that he gave all the money to Tangshan yesterday, and today's business started early, as if he wanted to double the money he didn't get yesterday.

In front of the stall, there were already a few curious idlers, some squatted down, stretched out their hands to fiddle with those strange-shaped tree roots, and a lewd man also picked up one and showed it to others:

"It's muddy, it looks fresh. And this thing really looks like a woman, with breasts and buttocks, the key is that she doesn't have any clothes. It's a pity that the other parts are not very specific, otherwise it would be good to buy it back and watch it. ”

The others burst into laughter.

The lewd man turned to the old rascal again, and asked in a deliberately strange tone, "What is its effect?" ”

The old rascal wore sunglasses at the moment, and replied seriously: "Plump * breasts * fat * buttocks." ”

There was another burst of laughter.

Just as a thin woman got into the other side, the lewd man threw the roots to her, winking and smiling: "Just right for you." If you don't buy it, it's hard to tolerate. ”

The crowd laughed. The thin woman blushed and didn't say anything, but she didn't leave. Tang Shan thought to herself, she would probably really buy this strange-looking tree root, but she couldn't save face for the time being.

With last night's practice, Tang Shan seems more sophisticated today, walking to the stall and not talking to the old hooligan, but squatting down, fiddling with those tree roots like picking goods in a supermarket.

When the old rascal saw Tang Shan coming, he began to enter the state of performance. A pair of eyes stared at Tang Shan badly from behind his sunglasses, like a god who saves the world, and asked with concern:

"Young man, what's uncomfortable?"

This question stumped Tang Shan again. I thought I didn't fucking feel uncomfortable, but I just came in and acted with you, but there was no such line in the script, how could you let me play on the spot?

Tang Shan was speechless, the movements of his hands were unnatural, and his eyes were dodgy.

Tang Shan thought that the drama was about to goof, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious. But what he didn't know was that such a performance happened to be in line with the psychology of others. Because the people who sneakily come to the stalls to buy strange medicinal materials, the problems on their bodies are basically incurable diseases, and they are so secret that they are difficult to speak, otherwise, they should have gone to the hospital to register in the open.

The old rascal motioned to Tang Shan: "Come and let me see." ”

Then he repeated last night's scene, lifting his clothes, looking at the whites of his eyes, and inspecting the Yin Hall. So, in addition to kidney deficiency, Tangshan had more problems with too weak spleen and stomach than last night, and then, the old rascal seemed to feel that it was not enjoyable, and he also diagnosed Tangshan often had insomnia and dreams, and frequent urination at night. In the end, none of the organs in Tang Shan's body were normal.

In the end, he threw over two strange tree roots and asked Tangshan to pay. And the price is clearly marked, and it costs 500 yuan to open your mouth. The bystanders exclaimed.

Tang Shan scolded in his heart, I cooperate with you to act to make money, and you can't practice me like this; I'm a lively seventeen-year-old, and you're called a seventy-year-old man.

The old rascal actually has his own sufferings. To do this kind of business, there must be an atmosphere. If you talk such nonsense on someone else, even if the blind cat meets a dead mouse and happens to be right, people will be furious. You must know that avoiding medical treatment is a common disease of human beings. What's more, you still don't have any evidence to talk nonsense, provoke people's sex, and if you don't get it right, you will smash your stall.

Therefore, he can only ravage his partner Tang Shan.

For the current Tangshan, it is nothing to be sick with a strange illness inexplicably, but he has to pay 500 yuan, which makes him even more embarrassed. Because he stayed in a hotel last night, paid the rent today, and bought some basic daily necessities, the rest of the money on his body, including the gross ticket, is less than three hundred.

Tang Shan blushed and took out his pocket for a long time, only took out two hundred, and a bunch of change, and had to bargain with the old rascal: "I don't have enough money today, can I be cheaper?" ”

The old rascal was stunned, as if he didn't expect Tang Shan to spend two thousand yuan in one day. But after all, he has a lot of experience, and immediately said magnanimously:

"Making money is not the goal, curing the disease is the goal. Make a half-discount, and you'll have two hundred and five. ”

Tang Shan scolded again in his heart: You are two hundred and five. But he picked out two hundred and fifty pieces and threw them on the stall, grabbed the roots, withdrew from the circle amid the laughter of others, and walked to the other end of the bridge.

Tang Shan only walked to the middle of the bridge, and suddenly saw five young people who were in a hurry, rushing over from the opposite side. These guys may be a little older than Tang Shan, but they are only about twenty, and their hair is all strangely shaped, and it is dyed in various colors, yellow, red, white, and even green. What's even more bizarre is that there are actually two straw bales with huge earrings on their ears.

Tang Shan instinctively felt that these guys were not good. The most likely is to run to the stall of the old hooligans.

Sure enough, as soon as the guys reached the end of the bridge, they squeezed into the crowd roughly. When the bystanders saw the real street hooligans, they all scattered with a bang. At this time, Tang Shan happened to be standing at the other end of the bridge, hesitating, should he go back to see the situation, or just leave?

Tang Shan turned his head and saw one of the red hairs arrogantly pointing at the old rascal and saying something. After saying a few words, the others suddenly became angry and kicked the whole stall, along with the old man's broken backpack, under the bridge.

There were two more, rushing up and pinning the old man to the ground.
