Chapter 8: Sweet Dreams
“……”
Liu Shen closed the "Secret News of Qianshi" in his hand, frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"It's nothing..."
Wei Dafu hesitated for a moment and said, "As for today's matter, if it weren't for Brother Shen'er, you helped stop me, maybe I would have been kicked to death by Xu Bantou's kick, and I want to thank you." ”
"You don't have to say thank you."
Liu Shen waved his hand and said casually: "Everyone is working together, it's just a small favor, I'm a family and no reason, one day I'm going to die, maybe I have to trouble you to help me collect the body." ”
"Brother Shen is righteous."
Wei Dafu stretched out his thumb to show the highest recognition among men, hesitated for a while and said, "I am a little panicked now when you said it. ”
"If you panic, go to the hospital..."
Liu Shen glanced at him and said angrily: "I can't cure the disease, what's the use of looking for me?" ”
"Hey, no, no, no."
Wei Dafu waved his hand in confusion, and then leaned over to him and whispered: "I know that Brother Shen is righteous, in case I really die, my money bag is hidden under the bed, and I hope that Brother Shen will help me bring it back to my mother-in-law, so that she can raise our son." ”
"Got it, got it..."
Liu Shen waved his hand in disgust...
He was already very upset when he encountered the parasitic thing of his eyeballs today, and now he saw Wei Dafu's useless appearance of being afraid of death and spending money, and he was even more angry.
He casually responded: "If you really die, I promise to give you the money bag and send it back." ”
"Hey, then I'm relieved."
Wei Dafu also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and joked with a smile: "With Brother Shen'er's words, we are not afraid of sleeping to death." ”
"Don't..."
Liu Shen glared at him, and after extinguishing the candle, he went back to bed and lay down, and said angrily: "Thinking that your son will have to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law in the future, I advise you to live a few more years." ”
"Hahaha, that's, that's!"
Wei Dafu naturally could hear the kindness in his words, and went back to bed with a smile, thinking that he would build a new house for his son and marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and his dreams were sweet...
Liu Shen touched his eyebrows, then put his hands behind his head, and fell asleep in his thoughts.
Xu is because of a tiring day, he also made a dream of becoming an immortal and an ancestor, a beauty with knees around his knees.
In the dream, he dreamed that he was the enemy of the world and shouted: 'Do you think you can kill me?' ’
Then, like a god of war, with one enemy and ten thousand, his eyes were scarlet, and he stepped on the sea of corpses and blood under his feet, and the evil qi on his body rose almost into substance.
Then, it's time for a man's favorite part - searching for beauties...
Caught all those beauties who were fat and thin, and had their own merits, and when they were about to enjoy it, they were suddenly woken up by a shout......
With this exclamation, the beauties in the dream who were fat and thin, and each with their own merits disappeared like a mirror...
"I'm Nima ......"
Liu Shen opened his bloodshot eyes.
At the critical moment, his dream was disturbed, and he slapped the bed board and got up to scold.
But before he could speak, the angry expression on his face froze on his face, and he faintly heard the shouts of the people in the same room: "Dafu is dead, Dafu is dead..."
“……”
Wei Dafu is dead...
I slept and couldn't wake up again...
The porter in the same room got up early in the morning and saw him lying on the bed with a smile on his face, but he was lying on the bed without breathing with blood from his mouth and nose, and his frightened soul flew away.
Liu Shen hurriedly put on his clothes when he heard the movement, and when he looked over, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Wei Dafu is indeed dead.
The people who lived under the same roof, who were talking and laughing last night, were gone when they woke up, and even the corpses were cold.
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it.
Seeing this scene, the porter has an indescribable sadness both visually and psychologically, and this emotion has nothing to do with intimacy.
Just when everyone didn't know what to do, Xu Bantou, who heard the movement, also rushed over, and saw Wei Dafu dead on the bed, and he didn't know what to mumble in his mouth.
Xu is because the eyebrows and eyes have strengthened the five senses, and Liu Shen can vaguely hear him muttering: "Bad luck ......"
The porters who participated in last night's stone statue picking were all silent, because they could roughly guess the cause of Wei Dafu's death - exhaustion.
Now that I think about it, Wei Dafu was tired and vomited blood last night, and then his face was ruddy, and he didn't see the slightest tiredness, which should be the body's stress reaction, which is the saying that the light has returned.
Unexpected, reasonable...
Xu Bantou was in charge of the coolies at the dock, and naturally he had seen people who were tired to death, so he didn't say much, but only took out one or two pieces of silver out of his own pocket, and asked the people below to dig a pit and bury them.
As for what bereavement benefits? Indemnify?
I didn't even mention it...
After all, Wei Dafu's deed of sale is still in the Chishui Gang, he is not only a porter at the docks, but also a servant bought by the Chishui Gang in name.
In this society, when a servant dies, if the master has a little conscience, he will give some pension to the family of the deceased;
If the main family has no conscience and buries people on the spot, the government will not ask more.
After all, it was only a slave servant who died.
And gangs like the Chishui Gang have nothing to do with the word 'conscience', and even if there is a pension on it, it is estimated that it will not fall into the hands of the families of the deceased.
The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.
A few porters who watched the excitement smiled and divided Xu Bantou's silver taels, dug a pit in the woods near the dock, and buried Wei Dafu's body.
Before noon, it was dealt with...
At lunch, there were still people discussing and discussing, but after being warned by Xu Bantou, no one mentioned it much.
When it came to dinner, everyone was chatting about the parents, except for the people who lived in the same room with Wei Dafu, everyone else seemed to have forgotten that there was such a person.
Liu Shen sat on the edge of the bed, his heart seemed to be pressed against a stone, and he couldn't breathe.
The other four people in the same room were packing up their things and moving to other rooms.
There had been people in the room, and they were all panicked when they had been lying in bed and had not woken up.
Even people like Xu Bantou feel that their request to 'move to another room' is reasonable.
Only Liu Shen felt a little sad...
was also sold to the Chishui Gang, and he seemed to see his own shadow in Wei Dafu......
'Save money, redeem yourself!' ’
The night is in full swing...
The original six-person chase shop has become a large single room for one person to live alone.
Liu Shen found a money bag from under Wei Dafu's bed, opened it and saw that the fragments of silver beans in it added up to less than five taels of silver.
Just these five taels of silver, Wei Dafu has been working at the dock for a year, and he is a strong man, and he is also taking private work, saving money, and even the hospital is reluctant to save it.
The world is in a hurry, and all they want is a few taels of silver.
It's just that this broken silver is a few taels, which can solve all kinds of panic in the world.
Liu Shen didn't know how much his life was worth before, but now it seems that it is worth a mere five taels of silver.
He lay on the bed with a long sigh, looked at the big single room where he lived alone, and muttered: "Dafu, Dafu, I can live in a single room and I can be regarded as inheriting your love, this money is ......"
"Tomorrow, I'll send you back!"
