Chapter 008: The Blind Man Lives in a Residence (2)
The shopkeeper hid behind the pillar, watching from a distance the strange people in the hall saying strange things, and he didn't dare to come out, he just hoped that these people could finish their meals early and go on the road early.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a very strange and quiet laugh.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but look back.
An old burden, a strange man with a wine gourd.
The strange man sat cross-legged at the bottom of the stairs, his head hanging down, holding a flask in one hand and a glass in the other, pouring himself a drink, as if no one was around. While tasting wine slowly, while eating and laughing.
No one here is stranger than him, because no one wants to sit under the floor and drink.
The man's laughter was also very strange, as if he was mocking.
The shopkeeper's eyes couldn't help but widen, who dared to laugh mockingly at this time? If he was not too capable, he was too bold. But judging from the shape of the man, he neither looked like a person with too much ability, nor did he look like a person with too much courage, but he looked very much like a person with a not very good brain.
The shopkeeper had quietly approached, quietly pushed the stranger, and said very seriously: "Don't laugh." ”
The weirdo didn't look at the shopkeeper, and continued to eat and laugh.
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "Are you deaf?"
The strange man said, "I'm not deaf. ”
The shopkeeper said: "Since you are not deaf, you should be able to hear what I say." ”
The strange man sighed and said, "I naturally heard what you said, but why shouldn't I laugh?"
The shopkeeper said nervously: "Because you can't laugh." ”
The strange man laughed a little louder and said, "Why can't I laugh? Some people are born to cry, some people are born to laugh, and I belong to those who are born to laugh." You don't make me laugh, it's like you don't let me eat, it's just a strong man's difficulty. ”
After saying that, he laughed again.
The shopkeeper was so frightened by his laughter that he sweated, and said anxiously, "Do you want to cause trouble?"
The strange man smiled inexplicably: "I laugh at mine, what trouble can I cause?"
The shopkeeper looked at the chatty officials at the table with trepidation, and saw that they didn't notice this side at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "The people sitting here are all you can't afford to mess with." ”
The weirdo chuckled: "If you can't mess with it, you can't afford to provoke it, anyway, I laughed at me, and I didn't provoke them." ”
The shopkeeper stared at him and whispered, "If you are not very capable, it is best not to do things that attract attention." ”
The strange man sighed and said helplessly, "I just laughed." ”
"It's not okay to laugh. ”
"Why is that?"
"Is there something wrong with your brain?"
The weirdo frowned, "There's nothing wrong with my brain. ”
The shopkeeper said coldly: "Since there is no problem, why can't you understand what I say?"
The strange man only smiled bitterly, "If you listen to what you say to someone else, you won't be able to understand it." ”
The shopkeeper stomped his feet and simply squatted down, and when he saw the strange man's face clearly, he couldn't say what he wanted to say with his stomach full.
The strange man drank two sips of wine, and when he saw that the shopkeeper didn't speak, he couldn't help but raise his head and asked strangely, "Do you like to watch me drink?"
The shopkeeper came back to his senses and sighed, "I finally know." ”
The weirdo asked, "What do you know?"
"I finally know why they don't care if you're laughing here. ”
"Why don't they care?"
"Because you are blind, because you can't see anything. ”
The weirdo stopped talking, but he was still laughing, very strangely. Although this man is not good-looking and blind, he loves to laugh more than ordinary people. Perhaps, as he himself said, he was born to be the kind of person who can only laugh.
The shopkeeper looked at the strange man and said curiously: "Since you are blind, why do you know that I am watching you drink?"
The strange man wiped the wine stains on his mouth, and said with a smile: "Because the blind man's eyes can't see, he is always more sensitive to the gaze of others than ordinary people." ”
The shopkeeper sighed again, and then stood up, he didn't want to talk to a blind man anymore, many people don't like to talk to a blind person.
No wonder this man would sit cross-legged here and drink, because he was blind and he simply couldn't find a place to sit. What's more, this store is overcrowded, and he can only hide in this kind of place to drink with peace of mind.
If he hadn't heard that strange laugh, the shopkeeper wouldn't have noticed that there was still a person sitting here.
But when did this person come in?
The shopkeeper touched his head, but he really couldn't remember when he had seen this person. But there are so many people who come in to eat and drink, and it's normal for one or two to not remember.
Thinking like this, the shopkeeper smiled reassuringly, and just as he was about to take a step, he was grabbed by his sleeve.
The blind man actually grabbed the sleeve of the shopkeeper with one of his hands.
The shopkeeper asked impatiently, "What are you doing?"
The blind man tilted his face and grinned, "Can you help me find a room?"
There is a normal person who always likes to look at a person with a disability with a strange attitude.
The shopkeeper also belongs to this kind of person, and he doesn't have a good impression of this blind man, so he pulled back his sleeve hard, glared at his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "You can go to the counter over there and ask if you know." ”
The blind man pointed to his eyes and said with a wry smile: "But I am blind, I can't see, there are too many people here, and it is inconvenient for me to touch the past." Didn't you say that the people sitting here are not something that ordinary people can afford to mess with. ”
The shopkeeper continued to stare and said, "Then how did you get in?"
The blind man said helplessly: "I came in by touching it." ”
The shopkeeper hugged his arms and said coldly: "Then why can't you go?"
The blind man smiled bitterly: "There are too many people here. ”
The shopkeeper was very impatient, "But I'm busy." ”
The blind man quickly took out a silver ingot from his baggage, stuffed it into the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "I'll stay for two nights, ten taels of silver should be enough." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the silver, still very impatient, "It's full now." ”
The blind man took out another ingot of silver and stuffed it into his hand, and said with a smile, "I will live alone in one room." ”
The shopkeeper immediately glared again, "You still want to live in a room alone? ”
The blind man took out another ingot of silver and said with a smile: "I can live in a room for five or six people by myself?"
The shopkeeper changed his attitude this time, and one ingot of Lehehe's silver was put into his pocket, and the other two ingots were used to open a room for the blind man.
It's a pity for a blind man to stay in a room. But if one person pays for five or six people's houses, and if this transaction is not done, won't the store become a fool?
The blind man is so generous, and the attitude of the shopkeeper towards him has also changed a lot, running before and after serving, for fear that it will make a blind man uncomfortable.
The shopkeeper was willing to be called, and the blind man was not troublesome, so he just asked someone to bring a basin of foot washing water, and let someone come in with a jar of wine.
The shopkeeper was surprised: "The guest officer is really massive!"
The blind man said triumphantly: "Although I am blind, I drink a lot of wine, if I want to drink, the wine in your store is not enough for me to drink alone." ”
The shopkeeper only thought he was bragging, but he still said with a nice mouth: "We don't have much in the store, just a lot of wine, as long as the guest officer wants to drink, how much he wants." ”
The blind man nodded.
After a few more words, the shopkeeper was about to go out, and when he left, he casually turned off the lights in the room.
Unexpectedly, he had just turned off the lights when he heard the blind man say, "Please light the lamp." ”
The shopkeeper was slightly surprised, looked back at the blind man, and laughed in a low voice: "Guest officer, the lamp is still burning." ”
The blind man straightened his face all of a sudden, and said coldly: "You bullied me for being blind." ”
The shopkeeper was slightly embarrassed, so he had to light the lamp.
It's just a blind man, what are you doing with a lamp?
The blind should not have access to the light.
The shopkeeper said uneasily: "Guest officer, you have to remember to turn off the fire when you are resting, if there is a fire here, it is not a trivial matter." The store is full of big people who live tonight, if you ...... here."
"Alright. The blind man interrupted the shopkeeper unhappily and said angrily: "Do you think I, a blind man, can't even put out a lamp?"
Seeing that the blind man was unhappy, the shopkeeper immediately smiled and said: "Where is it, how dare the little one think like this?" I am just afraid that the guest officer will be inconvenient, since the guest officer said that it is okay, then it is okay, it is a small mouthful. If the guest officer doesn't have any orders, can the little one go? There are many guests here today, and there are many things, no, I still have to bring people foot water. ”
The blind man's face was still displeased, he pointed to the ground in front of the window, and said angrily, "Bring me the lamp and put it here." ”
The shopkeeper had no choice but to comply.
Of course a blind man doesn't need a lamp, but it's not surprising that an eccentric blind man needs a lamp. Moreover, this blind man's strange place is not only this, because he immediately ordered the shopkeeper to do an even stranger thing.
I saw the blind man take off his clothes, and then throw them into the shopkeeper, and said, "Hang my clothes on the window." ”
The shopkeeper looked at the closed window, how to hang this dress?
Seeing that he didn't move, the blind man said coldly: "You open the window, and your clothes can be hung up, don't you understand?"
The shopkeeper glared at the blind man fiercely, although he was very dissatisfied with the blind man's attitude, but he could only do what the blind man said. Because in his eyes, whoever pays more is the uncle, and he just took five taels of silver from others, so of course he should do things for others. However, he really couldn't imagine that this blind man who looked weak and small had such a big temper.
There was a low table in the room that was used to store clothes and luggage, but this blind man wanted to hang his clothes on the window?
Hanging his clothes on the window, the shopkeeper originally wanted to leave quietly like this, but before he could reach the door, he was stopped by the blind man again.
The shopkeeper could only sigh, could only walk back, and said with a smile: "What else does the guest officer command?"
The blind man had already come out of bed, walked up and down the room barefoot, and said, "Go, bring me three sticks of incense." ”
