However, when the second fool chased him out, Hua Bo was already far away, and disappeared in an instant, so that the second fool was not too serious, after all, he offended the girl's father, how to say it is not a thing, is it?
The second fool returned to the house, counted the money, and was okay, the loss was not big, compared with the money he earned, it was simply negligible, so he patted the dust on his hands, and was ready to go to bed to rest, and have a good night's sleep.

Shaoqiu was sitting in the house this day, and it was raining for days, so he couldn't go up the mountain, so he could only stay in the house and skim a few pages of the book.
It rained for many days, which is certainly good for some people who sell umbrellas, but it is not the case for Shaoqiu, the crops are gradually maturing, and I was expecting a good harvest, but I didn't think that this ghost day would rain for a month, and it would rain endlessly, and all the millet was rotten in the field, even if it was taken back, there was no sun, and it would still not be able to keep it at that time, so it was better to let the millet rot on the mountain to save trouble.
Patches of crops, even the corn in the field were also spoiled, the rain was so heavy that they didn't dare to go up the mountain to harvest, as soon as they approached the mountain, either the black clouds overpowered, or the mudslide raged, and if you were not careful, you might die.
In the face of this situation, most families chose to give up and directly did not want the crops on the mountain, and some people even changed their careers, either to go to Luzhen to carry stones for others to earn wages, or to do some small business in the market.
Shaoqiu is no exception, at this time, I can't stay in the house, I don't want to make some money, it seems inappropriate, at that time, watching the girl become someone else's woman, sleeping with others every day, the feeling in my heart is really too uncomfortable, it is worse than killing him with a knife.
Originally, I thought that I would plant the crops on the mountain, and make some money at that time, and give it to the girl as a dowry, marry her, and live a peaceful and beautiful life from then on, and spend this life plainly.
But this ghost heaven somehow, when the grain is ripe, it rains for several months, and on the mountain, it is said that there are ghosts haunted, and they dare not walk at all, especially at night, once they stay alone on the mountain, what the consequences will be, it is simply unimaginable.
I don't know who is so lacking in virtue, I put a big pig's head on the side of a stone on the mountain, and there are still things such as paper money, incense and candles next to it, it is said that it is to pray for God's blessing, so that my sick relatives can be healthy as soon as possible, and no longer be so painful.
But since someone placed such a thing on the mountain, once it was night, he didn't dare to go up the mountain at all, even if he was bold enough to go, he didn't return, and he disappeared from then on, some said that he was dead, and some people said that he actually entered the underworld alive.
Because of this kind of strange thing, Shaoqiu would rather not want the ripening millet on the mountain, and resolutely chose to go into business, do some small business to live, and avoid the terrible things in the legend, presumably the girl knew about it, and she wouldn't blame him, right?
But if you go to do business, the capital is not too much, you can only do some small business, otherwise, once you lose, you will lose all your money, how will it be good at that time?
Shaoqiu is still a smart person, and chose to go to Luzhen to get a batch of umbrellas, because it has been raining for days, and people need this very much.
But on the day of going to Luzhen to catch the market, Shaoqiu still chose to sell some fruits, thinking that selling these things should be more reliable, so as not to take such risks, even if he can't sell them, he can eat them, his health is not good, and his lung disease is getting more and more serious, so he has to have these things that nourish the yin and moisten the lungs, otherwise, if he wants to get better, he is afraid that it is impossible.
On this day, the weather was still very bad, and it was raining constantly, and in the rain, an elder slowly paced over, stood in front of Shaoqiu, and persuaded him not to sell any fruits, but to sell umbrellas, because the weather was not good, and it rained for a month, selling umbrellas should be a good choice.
Shaoqiu didn't want to listen to the elder's words, but the people said bitterly for a long time, once they brushed the people's intentions, wouldn't it be disrespectful, but it was better to agree to the people, so he hurriedly entered a batch of umbrellas, carried them to Lu Zhen, and prepared to sell them to make some money.
The clouds in the sky were tumbling, sometimes like the face of a giant monster, and sometimes like an old ghost, spitting flames and doing everything in their power. Scared, Shaoqiu sometimes really didn't dare to look at it, even if he glanced at it, he didn't dare to take it seriously, but comforted himself, lied to himself, saying that it was just something that didn't exist.
In order to do business this time, Shaoqiu almost bet on all his belongings, because he heard that the girl seems to have some dealings with other men, and when he first heard the news, Shaoqiu will still be a little unbearable in his heart, and he has the heart to jump into the river, but after thinking about it, he feels that love is free, and the girl has the right to choose, and it is inconvenient to care too much for a while, but if he wants to admit defeat, there is no door.
No, the gambler took out almost all the family's savings, bought a batch of umbrellas, and wanted to take advantage of the bad weather and the heavy rain to sell rain gear and make a lot of money.
In order to enter this batch of goods, Shaoqiu went out and borrowed some usury from the bandits, once the business failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Shaoqiu pulled this batch of goods into Luzhen with a board car, success or failure in one move, if it is not successful, it will become a benevolent, and there is no way out.
When the cart was dragged into the street of Luzhen, it was really crowded, and guests from all over the world haunted Luzhen, but these people didn't know why, walking in this heavy rain, they really didn't need an umbrella, and those heavy rains on their heads really turned around, and they floated to the side diagonally, without wetting people's clothes at all.
"Sell umbrellas! Sell umbrellas! Shaoqiu shouted.
But these people couldn't get wet because of the heavy rain, at least when they walked to Shaoqiu's side, the rain naturally drifted away, and they didn't wet their clothes at all, even if it was a little bit.
It was only when I walked not far away that I felt the coldness of the rain, which was very uncomfortable on my body, and some people even caught a cold because of it.
At this time, the customers took out the money, bought an umbrella in a shop, opened it, smiled and left, and disappeared at the end of the street, out of nowhere.
Seeing that it was not a problem, Shaoqiu had to try it in a different place to see if it could get better.
After changing places, the situation was really different, as soon as the umbrella was put down, countless people came forward to buy Shaoqiu's umbrella.
At this moment, for some reason, the clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed too half, there were no clouds, and the rain gradually stopped, people looked at the weather, put the umbrella in their hands back on Shaoqiu's board car, said "bother", embarrassed to walk away.
The sun hung in the sky, the sky was cloudless, there was no need for umbrellas, and those who walked with umbrellas gradually put away at this time, and at this time it seemed a little cumbersome to go on a date with an umbrella.
Shaoqiu sat next to his board car, watching people walk by without looking, his heart was desolate, and he thought, this is the end, it is really bloodless.
When I dragged a cart of umbrellas to the door of the house, because I was overworked, my lung disease was really more serious at this time, and as soon as I entered the house, I spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground unconscious.
After gradually waking up, he looked around, the lights gradually turned on, Shaoqiu could only get up from the ground, slowly paced back to his house, closed the door, and thought about how to deal with it for a while, owing a lot of money to the bandits.
Just when he was thinking about a way, Hua Bo's shadow flashed in front of his eyes again, this person's appearance was just the idea of wanting to hit that cart of umbrellas, and he felt that he couldn't sell it anyway, so it was better to go and see if he could get it.
The night was already gradually shrouded over, Shaoqiu stayed in his room, in a very bad mood, business failed, owed such a large amount of usury to the bandits, how to live in the future.
At this moment, I heard someone knocking on the door of my house, and when I opened the door and looked out, I saw that Hua Bo was coming, so I was busy giving up my seat for him, making tea and waiting, and I didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
"What is the reason why Uncle is here?" Shaoqiu asked.
"I see," said Fa Bo, "can you give me that cart of umbrellas, which are not very good to be seen in front of the house anyway, and then you will be called unintelligent, and even a little stupid." ”
"This ......" Shaoqiu scratched his head for a while, not knowing what to do.
"Just give it to me," Hua Bo said with a smile, "I'll give you three dollars!" ”
"Three bucks?!" Shaoqiu couldn't believe his ears.
"yes, three bucks." Hua Bo replied calmly.
"I wanted to buy this batch of goods, but I spent 30,000 yuan, and you are only willing to give 3 yuan?" Shaoqiu asked with a sneer.
"Three yuan is already a lot, anyway, no one wants these umbrellas at this time, and it takes up more space here, so you might as well sell it to me for three yuan." Hua Bo said this as he prepared to pull the cart away.
"Okay, three is three." Shaoqiu said in a drunken tone, took the three dollars, got into the door, slammed it shut, and sat at the desk for a while, his eyes in a daze, tears constantly flashing in his eyes......
Outside the door came the creaking of the Flower Bella cart, and the sound faded away, and after a while, it was no longer audible.
At this moment, for some reason, a strong wind blew in the sky again, and in a gust of wind, the rain fell with a clatter.
