Chapter 12: Epiphany
I haven't eaten oil and water for a long time, and I kind of want to eat the mutton pot of Bai Laosi's house.
I went as soon as I thought of it, because it was afternoon and there were no guests, I sat in a corner and ordered a pot and two meat buns.
"Your mutton pot is here, you need your words", only came twice, not very cooked, although it is a public-private partnership, but it needs to hand over profits every month, Bai Laosi still maintains the sense of service in the past.
Meimei ate a meal, before leaving, and bought 10 big meat buns, the money is not much, all only 2 yuan, but the meat ticket used up 2 catties and 5 taels, made up some food stamps, and settled the account. Looking at the meat tickets accumulated over the years, a third has been reduced. The purpose of buying meat buns is to verify the freshness time of the secret realm, so as to prepare for the wind.
When I returned home, because the stove was burning, the house was hot, the walls and roof were almost dry, and the whole house looked bright and bigger. Place the bed against the west wall, the wardrobe next to the bed and against the north wall, the table and stool are close to the east wall and the window, the stove continues to stay in place, facing the door, closest to the north wall, and reserve space in the middle for the bookcase, the cupboard is not high, 1 meter high, put it along the north wall, put it on the board and you can cook, no need to cut vegetables and noodles on the table.
Tidy up and sit at the table in a good mood. The only fly in the ointment is that the window is pasted window paper, not glass, otherwise the light is better, and the sun shines through the window in the afternoon, which is pleasant. When the weather warms up next year, consider replacing it.
Take out the commonly used carving knife and the remaining half of the wood last time, take it in your hand, look at it carefully, and then grope with your hands, feel the texture of the wood, the image of the rabbit in your mind is becoming clearer and clearer, slowly coincide with the wood, the hand up and down, remove the excess, have a rough outline, replace the different carving knives, slowly, a vivid rabbit appeared in the hand, actually a success, was frightened by their strong understanding and control.
Slowly looking at my first real finished product, a sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously.
But it doesn't seem to be smart enough.,Take out a piece of wood again.,Repeat the above steps.,Carve a crouching rabbit.,A little progress.,Continue.,Jumping rabbit.,Rabbit kicking the rabbit.。。。 , Slowly, Li Guocheng forgot the specific steps, followed his own feelings, and kept carving rabbits in various forms, his heart had no desires, his mind and carving were combined into one, and the exercises ran automatically, until he could no longer take out a piece of wood in the secret realm, and then slowly got out of this mysterious and mysterious artistic conception.
Close your eyes, experience carefully, and understand that this is the epiphany that Taoists often say, many people can't ask for it in their lives, and they actually enter a state of epiphany when they play a carving, where to reason. Check the exercises, there is no obvious change, I am wondering, suddenly I heard a quarrel outside the house, naturally concentrated, the picture that appeared in my mind startled myself, any object within a radius of 10 meters is clearly imprinted in my mind, as long as I want, you can orient induction, you can also range induction, the distance is 10 meters.
Quietly focused his thoughts on Xu Damao's house, and found that Xu Damao was wearing a single coat, standing on the ground, although Xiao Xiao'e was also a single coat, but wearing a cotton jacket, from the open cotton jacket, you can clearly "see" the graceful posture, a little fat, is the type I Lao Li likes, phew... Scumbag, he laughs and despises himself.
At this time, "seeing" Xu Damao was angrily shouting at the basket Xiao'e: "I can't understand with you, the wound on my chest was bitten by the donkey of the production team, not my shoes."
"Your donkey's teeth are so small, I don't know much about farming, and I can't tell the difference between a donkey and a human," said Xiao Xiao'e angrily.
"Ezi, don't be unreasonable, I've been tired for a day, I've traveled 40 miles, you let me rest and rest, why don't you know how to hurt your own masters", Xu Damao knew that he couldn't explain clearly, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Xu Damao, don't think I don't understand anything, every time I go to the countryside to show a movie, which time I don't have the smell of a fox on my body, I always give you face, I don't want to make a big fuss, but you don't know how to converge, it's getting more and more excessive, and the frequency of going to the countryside is increasing, staying for 3 or 4 days, and today it has left traces on my body, I'm disgusting, you can sleep wherever you go today, just don't want to go to bed, don't want to touch me in the future."
The more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, thinking that she was a dignified lady, marrying Xu Damao, poor food and poor housing, these were all okay, thinking that she would marry a husband who would hurt her daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect Xu Damao to be full of rhetoric at that time, and after getting married, she heard that Xu Damao had all kinds of bad habits, and she didn't believe or didn't want to believe it. But because they couldn't give birth to children, Xu Damao's family often squeezed and became more and more troublesome. I feel that it is my own problem, so I have been putting up with Xu Damao's indiscretion. In the latest stage, I inexplicably didn't want to be wronged like this, so it broke out.
Xu Damao also lost his temper.
"Don't play the eldest lady's temper with me, I can't give birth to a child, I've put up with you for a long time", after speaking, Xu Damao dressed and slammed the door.
Xiao Xiao E threw herself on the quilt and cried.
It was difficult for the Qing officials to cut off family affairs, Li Guocheng had no choice but to retract his thoughts, and the picture disappeared.
Looking at the watch, it was already more than 9 o'clock, and for no reason there was an irritable mood in my heart, there was a feeling of grievance, and I wanted to vent, so I waited for 10 minutes with peace of mind, except for Xu Damao's house, everyone else turned off the lights and went to sleep, Li Guocheng went out quietly, jumped out of the compound directly, walked quickly on the street, and wanted to meet a few hooligans to get angry.
I arrived at Ju'er Hutong in one breath, and entered a small courtyard house by the side of the street, and there was a slight noise from inside, and if I didn't sleep so late, I was definitely not a good person. Unleash your thoughts, covering the entire small courtyard, there is a strong man in the doorway, drinking tea, and paying attention to the door from time to time, it should be the gatekeeper. There was no light in the courtyard, but there was a faint sound coming out, if it weren't for Li Guocheng's perverted hearing, ordinary people wouldn't be able to hear it at all.
After searching carefully, following the sound, I found that it came from underground, probably from a basement or something. Thinking downward, I found that there was a basement under the wing, not big, about 20 square meters, and there were more than 20 people gathering to gamble in it, one by one, with a white face, shouting the points they wanted. Very bold, the basement entrance is unattended, but the entrance plank is covered with a thick quilt.
Awesome, the sound-dampening facilities are in place.
It's simple, just you people, just get out of your breath and find a towel from the secret realm to cover your face. Jumping into the courtyard gently, silently, close to the doorway, waiting for the moment when the big man lowered his head to drink tea, opened the door, struck, and gently put the big man on the ground in one go.
During the whole process, Li Guocheng kept the range sensor on, and the people in the basement didn't feel anything, and they were still gambling with great devotion, and it seemed that they had a lot of trust in the gatekeeper.
Gently lifted the entrance plank of the basement, due to the entry of the cold wind, alarmed some people in the basement, Li Guocheng closed the plank, turned off the electric light, the basement was dark, instantly, the noise was louder, and all kinds of greetings came.
Others can't see it in the dark, but Li Guocheng has a deliberate sense, and the basement at this time is like daylight, from the outside to the inside, knocking down the people he meets and fainting to the ground, leaving only 3 men who seem to be the leader.
"Make a fart, where does Lao Tzu understand what you are talking about", Li Guocheng secretly thought, without waiting for the other party to speak again, he started to fight directly, unlike the previous ones, leaving these people awake, a fat beating, and the three roads of the beating were inexplicable and painful.
The anger was smooth, and they were all knocked out directly.
Look at the gambling table and the ground, it is all money and all kinds of bills, and it is not hypocritical, pick up a large amount and send it to the secret realm, I have long "seen" that there is a 1-foot square wooden box behind the eldest brother, pick it up and open it to see, Huo, it is all money tickets, tied with rubber bands, bundles of ground. I didn't have time to count, I closed the lid and threw it into the secret realm.
I found a pen and a newspaper, wrote the address in a few large letters with my left hand, and then wrote a big gamble in the middle of the newspaper. Out of the small courtyard, according to perception, find a team of pickets, wrap a small stone in newspaper, find the right time, throw it at them, and then turn around and flash people. The pickets did not find anyone, and according to the contents of the newspaper, they successfully cracked a vicious case of gathering people to gamble. The masked man who appeared during the follow-up trial was too dark, and everyone couldn't say that he was physically and physically, so the matter was over.
After returning home without danger, he took out the money tickets and wooden boxes of his income, and after sorting out, there were more than 3,400 money, more than 200 pounds of fine grain stamps, and a number of other bills. is rich, it is really a horse without night grass and no fat, and people without windfall and not rich.
After calming down, I feel that today is a bit reckless, it is useless to have a lot of money, and I don't dare to spend it indiscriminately, beyond your income level, you will be reported by the enthusiastic masses, and a cup of tea without tea leaves is waiting for you to drink.
It seems that we must be reluctant in the future. Keeping a low profile is king, and you have to remind yourself repeatedly.
