Chapter 55: Dreams Shattered
Cui'er has a very wide heart, not as hypocritical as ordinary women, so she has no money to buy vegetables, so she goes to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables, and goes home to make do with them and fry them. He has a sunny temperament and never says anything frustrating.
Half a year has passed, and the three of them are very familiar with each other, almost to the point of talking about nothing, and Cui'er has never asked where the two are from or who they are.
Only when the two are friends, the only friends in their lives.
The afternoon sun is good, the harvest is good today, Wang Tian and the others have found an errand in the inn in the town, although the money is not much, it is enough for the three of them to be satisfied. When she went back in the evening, Cui'er had already prepared a meal and waited for the two to return, and the candle was faint, and Wang Tian saw the lights on in Cui'er's house from afar.
Thinking of his lifelong wandering, whenever and wherever he hopes to have a warm home, but the world changes, some of the simplest hopes have become extravagant hopes, and they can't ask for it, they can't get it.
In the past, my greatest hope was to have food to eat, a house to live in, someone to prepare food every day when I go back, wait for him to come home with the lights on, eat at the same table, joke and talk.
His life was hard, he was born to kill his father and mother, and he was excluded everywhere because of his different appearance and figure from ordinary people.
He never knew what home was, and it was very warm to hear from others.
Now it's just right, it's really just right, he doesn't have anything extravagant.
Wang Tian said with a smile: "Erbao, let's go buy clothes for Cui'er tomorrow, Master saw that Cui'er's clothes have been worn for a long time, and they are all a little damaged." ”
Erbao touched his round belly and said, "Okay, Master, you see that those women who come to our inn to eat all day long are all dressed so gorgeously, and they are not good-looking at all." Erbao felt that if Cui'er also wore those beautiful clothes, she would not be worse than these women at all, no, she would look many times better than them. ”
Wang Tian said: "This is natural, Cui'er is beautiful, even if she doesn't dress up, she is still good-looking." ”
"Hehe, that's it, if anyone marries Cui'er in the future, it will be really blessed. ”
The two talked and laughed and returned home, Cui'er sat on the bench facing the candle flame and served the rice, although she couldn't see it, her movements were extremely neat, and a bowl of rice was filled in two clicks, and the surroundings were clean and did not fall.
When Wang Tian entered the door, Cui'er heard the movement with the tip of her ear, smiled lightly, groped her way to put down the dishes and chopsticks, and walked to her bed and took out the two thin clothes she had prepared.
"Coming back?"
Erbao said with a smile: "Sister Cui'er, what delicious food is prepared today, I smell a fragrance from afar." ”
Cui'er said angrily: "Where there is anything delicious, your mouth is sweet." ”
"It's all taught by the master. Erbao sat down, took the chopsticks and was about to pick up the potatoes, squinting and seeing Cui'er holding two robes in his arms, light black, which should be worn by a man, he asked curiously: "Sister Cui'er, who is this robe for?"
"At a glance, you can see that this is a man's dress, and there is only one of you two here. Cui'er smiled and spread it out: "There are two pieces in total, I bought some fabrics a few days ago and have made them, some of them are not very good, they are not as good as those embroidered girls outside, if you two don't dislike them, you will wear them." ”
Because it is almost summer, the weather is hot, the robe is a little thin, and the black is not very dirty, so you can wear it more, which is most suitable for those who work hard all day.
Wang Tian looked at the two single clothes, his heart was moved and happy, and his eyes were red: "This is for me and Erbao." ”
"Yes, seeing that you two work hard all day long, I can't help much, and I'm idle at home and thinking about making a dress for you two. I can't see it, it's not very good, the size is ...... I can do the laundry for both of you. It's just two very simple coats, but you can't dislike them. ”
"It's good, Sister Cui'er, you're too polite. Erbao scratched his head and said, "Where did Sister Cui'er say, how could Master and I dislike it." To tell you the truth, Sister Cui'er, you are the first to make clothes for me and Master over the years, Sister Cui'er, you are so good to me and Master. ”
As he spoke, he took two mouthfuls of snot, and the corners of his eyes were already moistened.
Cui'er couldn't see it, but she could hear it. At the moment, he was also distressed by the two, stretched out his hand to hold Erbao tightly in his arms, and comforted: "It's all over, in the future, I will make clothes for the two of you every year, and there will be new clothes to wear every New Year, okay?"
Erbao nodded heavily: "Okay." ”
The three of them talked and laughed and had dinner and packed up their things, Erbao went to the backyard to chop firewood, Cui'er did the laundry for the two, and Wang Tian cleaned up the broken tables and chairs at home. The days are ordinary, there is no great wealth and wealth, and comfort is stable.
There are so few fortunate good things in the world that many things exist for too short, and they disappear and disappear in a few years.
The fork, that is, the arrival of the rich man in the town, completely shattered the quiet and comforting life.
The second treasure of the inn washed vegetables in the backyard, Wang Tian picked vegetables in the field, and the two of them swaggered into the kitchen in the backyard.
"Today, our master is going to entertain two distinguished guests, food or something, you can weigh it yourself. If something goes wrong, the consequences are single. A tall, thin man in family clothes said in a weird way.
The boss smiled and said: "Okay, it's not the first time that our master has eaten here, not to mention anything else, our master here can definitely rest assured." ”
"That's good, to tell you, if this hospitality satisfies the master, there will be many benefits. The tall and thin man went into the kitchen as he spoke, and Erbao came out with a whole basket of vegetables, which was a head taller than himself, so it was difficult to see the road. collided with a tall, thin man who was about to enter the door.
Erbao used a lot of force, this time the basket was squeezed to the side by the two, and the two treasures were loaded again, and the vegetables in the basket were scattered all over the ground, rolling off Erbao's body.
The thin and tall man said "oops", sat on the ground with his buttocks, and his butt rested on the threshold behind him, he screamed in pain, and scolded: "I'll fuck your uncle, which little bastard who doesn't have long eyes dares to hit your grandfather and me." ”
Another man on one side went to help, and the tall and thin man spit out two more swear words, and followed the man to help him up.
Erbao fell to his brain and was a little blindsided for a while, and when he reacted, he endured the headache, and made amends: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't see it." ”
The boss was also dumbfounded at the moment, and before the tall thin man could see Erbao clearly, he stepped forward and kicked his shoulders: "You don't have long eyes, right, and don't look at who this is, you dare to hit the door, where did you get the dead guts." ”
Erbao had a headache before he came, and now he was kicked twice for no reason, his shoulders were suddenly hot, and he fell to the ground, trembling in pain.
He gritted his teeth, and thought that the master had told him that he had to endure everything, and he couldn't care about the pain of dislocation on his body, so he apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's Erbao who is blind and didn't see it, and I ask the adults not to remember the villain." ”
"Little bastard. The tall and thin man was about to open his mouth to scold, when he suddenly saw Erbao's dark face, and sneered: "Yo, who should I be, isn't this the master and apprentice of the disaster star, what's the matter, I haven't been killed, and I still have the face to work here." Boss, you are not afraid that this person will kill you in the inn, and there is no business. ”
The boss wiped his cold sweat and said with a forced smile: "This, the little one is also pitiful because they have no food to eat, so they are taken in, but they will not appear in front of the eyes of the masters when they are only doing chores in the back kitchen." ”
"Hmph, kindly take it in, you see if this person is depressed, uncle, I just entered your inn and fell down, or this person touched it. If you want me to say boss, you are really broad-hearted, or stupid, you can eat this year with a good heart. ”
"What the uncle said is reasonable, what he said is reasonable. The boss glared viciously and almost knelt down to beg for forgiveness Erbao, and said: "Go back quickly, you don't have to come again in the future, and the province will collide with you in the future, which will cause bad luck." ”
As soon as he heard that he had no work to do, Erbao panicked now, this job was only when he and the master wasted their boss to come in, and the money was not much, but fortunately, it was also an errand, and there was money to take.
Now that he says no, it will be gone, and he will definitely involve his master, how will he live in the future.
The more Erbao thought about it, the more sad he became, he secretly touched two handfuls of tears on the ground, hugged the boss's thigh and prayed: "I was wrong, I was wrong boss, it was Erbao who was incompetent, and I collided with this uncle, begging the boss to give me another chance, Erbao...... Erbao will not make such mistakes again in the future. ”
The boss is also soft-hearted, Erbao begged him with a handful of snot and tears, and he also knew a little bit about what kind of life the two of them had lived in this town before. For a while, he was also soft-hearted, and looked at the thin and tall man, who was also looking at him, and shook his head.
This is the intention to drive him away.
The boss gritted his teeth and was ruthless: "I'll go and get some silver taels later, you and your master won't need it in the afternoon." ”
The two of them were kicked out of the inn with a disgraced face, and it was not easy to go back at this hour, wandering the streets.
Erbao touched his tears and said guiltily: "Master, I'm sorry Master, it's all Erbao is not good, if it weren't for Erbao and causing trouble, this job wouldn't have to be lost." ”
Wang Tian pulled the corner of Erbao's clothes and said comfortingly: "Don't cry silly Erbao, we can find it again when the job is gone." The male man's family, crying and crying, is not afraid of panic. ”
"But, Master, what should we do, no other place wants us. ”
"Let's go back first, Cui'er is still waiting. Wang Tian didn't know what to do for a while: "There is no need to tell Cui'er about this, so as not to worry about her." ”
Erbao nodded, looked dejectedly, and was not very friendly to him and Wang Tian, and even wary, so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head.
When they returned home at the usual time, the door was open, and the two didn't think about it so much, but they just thought that Cui'er left the door in advance for fear that the two would come back, and it was inconvenient for them to walk at night. But when they entered the house, it was still quiet, there was no food on the table, and Cui'er didn't stand in front of the two of them and greeted them with a smile.
It's quiet, it's too quiet.
Erbao glanced at it casually and said, "Master, where is Cui'er?"
Wang Tian's eyes gradually narrowed, "Wang Tian." A sound as thin as a mosquito's foot sounded.
The two glanced at each other and ran towards Cui'er's room.
Behind the screen, the beds were messy, and the clothes, dirty clothes, were scattered all over the ground, and there seemed to be a strong fishy smell in the air. Cui'er was covered in *, and the outside of the futon was exposed with a blue and purple patch, and there was hardly a piece of skin in a good place.
