Ugly teenager
In the blink of an eye, Dongfang Hao has been away from home for almost a month, and although he occasionally has a small amount of remnant soul at this time, this is not worth mentioning to Dongfang Hao, who has long been accustomed to it, like a mosquito bite. And after Dongfang Hao had a goal, his mood gradually improved in the past month, and he turned back into the once lively and cheerful teenager. After all, that's his nature.
At noon on this day, Dongfang Hao came to Jixiang Town, which is a bustling town, with a dazzling array of shops on both sides of the street and a lot of pedestrians. Dongfang Hao wanted to find an inn to rest for a day before hurrying, but suddenly saw the crowd in front of him in a group, I don't know what it was, and his curiosity prompted him to go and watch. When he finally squeezed in, he saw a young man kneeling on the ground, because he was wearing a hat on his head, and he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, and in front of the boy was a corpse swept by a straw mat, and next to the corpse stood a plaque that said "Selling and burying his mother." "I don't know if it's a man or a woman, maybe it's a pretty little girl."
"Hehe, Li Laosan, you old bachelor have such dirty thoughts every day."
"I don't know how many silver taels." I just heard people talking about it all around. At this time, a thick man with a full beard asked, "Hey, how much is it? Uncle Ben just lacks someone to call."
"Twenty taels!" I only heard a crisp voice coming from the hat.
"Twenty taels, just take off the hat and let the uncle take a look." The thick man said disdainfully. The boy shook his head and ignored the big man.
"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost, isn't it unsightly? Uncle, I want to see it today." After that, he stretched out his hand and forcibly uncovered the young man's hat, but the boy knelt on the ground but did not resist, and let the big man remove the hat.
"Wow"! The big man was like being struck by lightning, and his soul was so frightened that he almost dispersed. And the people around him also shouted "ghost" and dispersed in an instant, Dongfang Hao also squeezed out two words from his mouth for a long time, "I'm sorry"! I saw that the boy's face was full of pockmarks, his ears were blowing, his nose was facing the sky, and his eyes were big and small and far apart. In short, it was an indescribable ugliness. The stout man also came back to his senses for a long time and shouted, "There are ghosts." He stumbled away.
At this time, only Dongfang Hao and the boy who sold his body to bury his mother were left on the field. After half a salary, Dongfang Hao sighed and said, "They are all hard-working people." As he spoke, he took out the silver taels from his body and threw them to the young man, and then went to the inn on the side to rest. The young man picked up the silver tael and didn't say anything. Just looked at Dongfang Hao's back and smiled knowingly.
At noon the next day, Dongfang Hao was eating at the inn, and suddenly a person sat down in front of him, "Engong is eating." Hehe" is the boy who sold his body yesterday. Dongfang Hao was suddenly startled, but fortunately the young man had a hat. Invisible faces. Otherwise, Dongfang Hao's meal is afraid that it will be eaten in vain. Dongfang Hao asked while eating, "What are you doing here?" "After I took care of my mother's affairs, I naturally came to you." "Damn, you can tease me." Dongfang Hao's face was suddenly full of black lines. The young man continued: "Engong, I have written a book to sell my body and bury my mother. Of course I followed you with the money you gave." Dongfang Hao said a little speechlessly: "Brother, where are you going back and forth, those silver taels should be regarded as me doing good deeds." The boy sat there but did not speak again. The scene became a little embarrassing for a while, Dongfang Hao put down the chopsticks in his hand and said calmly: "I'm not a person who judges people by their appearance, it's just that I'm going to the Western Lingkong Temple, and the distance is far away, I'm afraid it's a little dangerous, and it's very inconvenient to take you." "Engong doesn't dislike me for being ugly, it's easy to do, I'm a cheap life anyway, and everyone is disgusted in the world, after my mother died, I planned to go to Huangquan with her, but because no one buried me after death, I went to sell my body to bury my mother first. If Engong does not dislike me, I am willing to saddle the horse for Engong, and go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire." The boy patted his chest and said excitedly. Dongfang Hao thought about it for a while, and finally agreed to the young man. He said to the young man: "You can't take off your hat easily without my permission, and besides, don't call me Engong, I get goosebumps all over my body when I hear it." My name is Dongfang Hao, you should not be as old as me, call me Brother Hao when you grow up, what's your name?". The young man laughed twice and replied, "My surname is Ma, and my single name is a handsome character." Brother Hao, everything will be on me in the future!
Dongfang Hao shook his head, thinking to himself, this Ma Jun is really sorry for the name his mother gave him. Then Dongfang Hao shouted that Ma Jun would continue to eat with him, and the two chatted while eating.
This Ma Jun is really a poor person to say. The mother and son came from afar and wanted to take refuge in their uncle, but the uncle was not found, and Ma Jun's mother felt cold on the road, and because she did not receive timely medical treatment and was already weak, she did not hold on for a while and died in Jixiang Town. And Ma Jun has been disliked since he was ugly, and he has no friends. There is no way to sell himself here to bury his mother, after learning that Dongfang Hao is also sick, basically every few days to endure the pain of the remnant soul backlash, Ma Jun is also very sympathetic to Dongfang Hao, although he has not felt Dongfang Hao's pain, but he can also see from Dongfang Hao's thin body and pale face, I am afraid that the pain is not extraordinary. Ma Jun even felt that he was lucky compared to Dongfang Hao, he was just a little ugly, although he was rejected by others wherever he went. But over the years, he has become accustomed to everyone's eyes, but Dongfang Hao is both physically and mentally tortured. Just looking at his expression, his expression was full of confidence, and his eyes were extremely resolute. Ma Jun suddenly admired Dongfang Hao very much!
Unknowingly, the two chatted from noon to afternoon. Dongfang Hao saw that it was not too late, so he opened a room for Ma Jun to rest early, and they would continue to hurry early tomorrow morning. In fact, thanks to Dongfang Hao bringing Ma Jun, one of them is skinny and the other is extremely ugly, and they have saved a lot of unnecessary trouble along the way.
