Chapter 10: Evil Forces
The master gave me a faint look
"So what the hell do you want to do? ”
"Master, I want to buy a hoe and a firewood knife, and a bucket for the monastery, so that it will be easier for you to work in the future. ”
"Okay. ”
Wu Neng on the side had already burst into tears.
In order to fulfill this promise as soon as possible, I thought of a good way. I went to work at the bottom of the mountain, of course, I chose to go secretly, and the abbot didn't know about it.
Then all the shops at the foot of the mountain answered in unison: "Don't be a monk." The reason is: "The monks actually went down to the mountain to work to earn money, which shows that the six roots are not pure, and they are not good monks." ”
I said in my heart, damn it, I am a monk, not a Buddha, I work hard to earn money and work hard to eat, why do I say that my six roots are not pure.
I had no choice but to learn from the fine tradition of my master, dig up a basket of sweet potatoes, and sell them at the mountain.
Fortunately, there was no chengguan in ancient times, so I found a crowded location, chose a stall, and began to shout my sweet potatoes.
I never thought that I would be reduced to one day living by selling sweet potatoes, so I had to smile silently.
Soon, the first guest came.
"How do you sell these sweet potatoes?" Three people, a short and fat middle-aged man, judging by his dress, are either landlords or bullies. The other two well-proportioned teenagers, holding their hands and staring at each other, looked domineering with their eyes above the top, either the thugs of the short and fat man, or his lackeys.
Damn, I stepped on shit as soon as I went out.
"Thirty copper plates, if you want them all. "I asked beforehand that I would need at least thirty copper plates to buy a hoe, a firewood knife and a bucket.
"Thirty copper plates? You bald donkey really dare to shout the price, just your basket of broken sweet potatoes, don't give it to the master for nothing. The stocky man took a mouthful of phlegm into my basket, then turned and swaggered away.
I immediately stood up, and the two thugs behind him glared at me viciously, and then told me with their eyes: If you kid dare to be dishonest, I will clean you up.
I couldn't help it, looking at the background of the three of them gone, and I thought of a solution.
I followed the three of them into a remote alley, picked up a pebble, and threw it at the stocky man's waistcoat.
The short and fat man was in pain, and scolded his mother to jump up, and the three of them turned to see that it was me, and the two thugs ran towards me with a scolding attitude.
If you want to say that the daily chopping wood and carrying water really has some effect, although those two thugs are young and strong, they can't catch up with me anyway. Thus I became more and more confident, and led them out of town, and when they could not take care of me, I slipped back to the short and fat man.
I held a basket full of sweet potatoes in one hand and tossed the pebbles in my hand with the other, and said with a smile: "This great official, do you want to buy sweet potatoes? Or do you want to buy this pebble in my hand?"
The short and fat man also smiled and said, "I don't even want to buy it, it was just a misunderstanding." ”
I pretended to make a pebble throw, and the stocky man shuddered in fright.
"Eh, I don't know if I'm good at it, I just want to smash your mouth, your mouth is too stinky, if you smash a small hole in your head, then, hehe, I'm sorry. But it doesn't matter, I still have ten or eight here, and I'll practice slowly. ”
The short and fat man hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The bald donkey spares his life, no, I'm sorry, the master spares his life, I'll buy the sweet potatoes, I'll buy them all, thirty copper plates, right, I'll buy them all." ”
"No, sixty copper plates, I'll chase you here, don't you count the transportation costs?"
"I count, I count. ”
And just like that, I was happy to get sixty copper plates before the two thugs returned.
With these sixty copper plates, I bought two sharp wood knives, a hoe and a wooden bucket, and there were still a dozen copper plates left, and I happily took my trophies and hummed a little song up the mountain.
On the way up the mountain, I was very proud, and it reminded me of Aaron, who also had a conflict with other classmates because of an incident that was already in junior high school at the time.
The cause of the incident is this, Ah Long had a conflict with another classmate in the same school because of the problem of occupying a seat in the cafeteria, Ah Long was not very punched by him, of course, the other party also hit Ah Long, and when the fight was about to start, Ah Long and he were opened by everyone, Ah Long was not convinced, and he had to make an offer, and the guy was not a good stubble, so he immediately agreed, and the two sides left each other's contact information, and they went their separate ways.
Then Aaron came to me and said that I would help someone to fight the guy surnamed Song.
"You're really fighting in a group, just find a few people to scare and scare, why bother, for a broken seat in the cafeteria, I thought you were for your girlfriend, it's really pedantic. I said dismissively.
"This is a matter of face, the whole class was in the cafeteria at the time, if I don't teach this kid a lesson, how will I mix in school in the future. ”
"That's easy to do, agree on the number of people, agree on the place, everyone show up, whoever has more wins, it's over. ”
"Don't fight?"
"Oh, big brother, what era is this, do you think the school is Hong Kong in the 80s, just find a few people to fight? Even if you are not afraid of being beaten, others have not taken any advantage from you, and you can show your face, even if you can show your face, it will give you face. ”
He said three. ”
"It's only three, and this guy is also a coward. ”
"You say five. ”
"Okay, I'll tell him, the mountain behind the school, five, that's it. ”
"Well, talk to him. ”
Ah Long contacted the guy surnamed Song.
He said six. Aaron smiled bitterly.
"Damn, seven told him that he could not be less than him, that there was strength in numbers. ”
"Okay, I'll talk to him. ”
After a while, Aaron said to me again, "He said eight. ”
"Hey, I'm grass, this kid is a fucking dog, and I'm going to stick your ass. ”
"What to do. Aaron said.
"In one gulp, ten. ”
"Okay. Aaron gritted his teeth.
Another moment passed.
He said twenty. Ah Long's face was surprised.
I settled down and shouted, "Thirty, fuck me." ”
He said fifty. ”
I threw the cigarette butt on the ground and scolded: "Today is considered to be a hard stubble, a hundred, whoever doesn't come, who is a grandson." ”
Ah Long looked at me blankly, and said for a long time: "A hundred, where can I find someone?"
"No matter, press it first.
"Okay, listen to you. ”
After a while, Ah Long said: "I sent him a message, three days later, the old slope of the back mountain, the brute who doesn't go." ”
"Okay, you remember to go. I said lightly and re-lit a cigarette.
In this way, Ah Long tried his best to call seven people in three days, and he invited everyone to have a meal, the so-called Zhuang Xing Meal, everyone was filled with righteous indignation in the wine and dinner, and promised that he would arrive that day and teach the person surnamed Song how to behave.
Until the third day, I was the only one who accompanied him, as for the seven iron buddies who swore by him, they either accompanied their girlfriends, or went to Internet cafes, or they went to play football games, and there was a particularly good reason, I couldn't pull out because of constipation, and I was doing muscle expansion exercises in the dormitory.
Anyway, Aaron went.
When the two of us arrived at the back mountain, we saw that the other party had also come, and of course, he was alone.
"Where's your number 99. Aaron laughed.
"What about your number 99. "The surname Song does not show weakness.
"On the way. ”
"Mine is also on the way. ”
At this time, the two approached and glared at each other.
I thought the two were about to go head-to-head, when the man surnamed Song suddenly shouted, "Come out." ”
Oh no, we were fooled, and the subordinate surnamed Song was hiding nearby.
But the real situation was even worse than expected, I saw more than a dozen teachers suddenly jump out of the grass, and at once Ah Long and the classmate surnamed Song threw him to the ground, and one of the teachers also reprimanded viciously: "Where is your No. 99 person." ”
And I, who was standing not far away, was so frightened that I ran away.
The next day, the school issued a notice that two classmates, Chen Shaolong and Song Zhongqing, deliberately gathered to fight, causing a bad impact on the school, and were placed on school probation.
Afterwards, Ah Long and the man surnamed Song not only did not turn against each other, but became good friends.
I asked him, "Did you do it then?"
"No, I don't. Ah Long said with a look of grievance.
"Then why did he suddenly shout 'Come out?' ’”
"He said he didn't shout, 'Come out,' but he happened to see a wild boar rushing down the opposite hillside, so he reminded me, 'The pig is coming.' I was nervous for a while, and my pronunciation was not accurate, so I heard it as 'Come out.'" ”
I shook my head, feeling that it was really idiotic to find someone to fight in a group or something when I was a student.
