Chapter 598: Winning the Bid
It's a hum, a weak hum.
In the dusty firewood room, the second uncle was lying there lonely and helpless, his body was full of stench, and the firewood not far away from him was even more smelly.
Because, there is a net bucket there.
During the time when the second uncle was sick, he didn't even have the strength to go to the thatched house.
Three days passed, and no one in the courtyard came.
The second uncle just lay there, and the cobwebs on the top of his head became more and more knotted.
On the fourth day, an old man next door touched me.
The person didn't come in, so he stood outside the firewood room and looked inside, and screamed tentatively, he thought that the second uncle was dead.
If the person is really dead, the matter must be reported to the government to send someone to collect the body and send the body to Yizhuang.
Otherwise, it would be terrible if it happened.
If he is far away, he doesn't care, but he lives next door to this store, so he can't let people die here and stink.
The second uncle didn't die, he agreed.
The sound was faint.
When the old man heard this, his brows furrowed, and he went in to stare at the second uncle's body.
The second uncle was also looking at him, his eyes full of pleading.
He thought that the old man could give him some food to eat, but he was so hungry that he couldn't do it.
The old man looked at it for a while, shook his head slightly, and then sighed lightly, and said, "You have a big fate... But it's useless for you to sleep here, who will give you food? … Today, we are giving food in the Qiyun Temple in our town, why don't you go there, maybe you can grab a few steamed buns to eat. ”
"I don't know where that temple is." The second uncle struggled to sit up, "I don't have the strength to go." ”
The old man said: "If you don't go, you have to go, if you don't go, you can only starve to death." ”
The second uncle was stunned, and said weakly: "That... Where is the temple? ”
"Go out and go east, it's not far away."
After the old man finished speaking, he pinched his nose and left.
The smell in this room is so bad that I can't stand it outside the station.
The second uncle sat there for a while, he couldn't be hungry and didn't want to die. The old man was right, if he didn't beg for food, there was only one way to die.
So, I wanted to stand up, but I tried several times, but I couldn't stand up straight.
His body trembled, his legs were sore and weak, his body hurt, and tears of pain fell.
Finally, the thought of not starving to death made the second uncle finally stand up straight, he found a stick to support, slowly moved to the door step by step, and then walked east step by step.
Many people were watching the second uncle on the road, especially the neighbors around.
Seeing that the second uncle was able to come out, the neighbors couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The second uncle's appearance is no longer embarrassing, it is worse than miserable. What's even worse is that he stinks all over his body, and wherever he goes, everyone covers his nose and flashes to the side, lest the second uncle will suddenly fall on him.
Just moved slowly step by step, others could reach the land with half a pillar of incense, and the second uncle walked for a full hour.
On the way, many times he couldn't walk, but he didn't dare to sit down and rest, he was afraid that once he sat down, he would no longer have the strength to stand up.
He leaned against the tree, rested for a while, and then lifted his spirits and walked on.
When I arrived at Qiyun Temple, it was already three strokes in the sun.
At the door, a lot of Hanako are waiting for miles.
Those flowers are all nearby, and the second uncle can't understand what he says, but fortunately, these flowers don't bully the second uncle, but he is not allowed to approach.
Because, I think the second uncle smells.
The second uncle didn't lean into the crowd either, he was exhausted when he got here. He felt under the wall of the temple, and a man waited quietly.
Outside the temple, the monks have set up a high platform and put a lot of offerings.
It didn't take long for a monk to come to power.
。 And he saw that a high platform had been erected outside the door, and he laid down an offering.
At dusk, the monks came up to the stage to act, and they didn't know what sutras they were reciting, and after humming for a while, they finally finished the rituals.
Later, a little monk threw rice grains, steamed buns and other foods down from the high platform, and said something in his mouth while throwing it.
"It's time for dinner!"
All the flowers rushed up, and you fought for me.
The second uncle was in a hurry, which was his turn to grab such a method.
I was so anxious that I choked forward with a stick, and shouted for me to get some in my mouth.
As soon as he approached, the few Hanako who were fighting immediately stepped aside, but they left nothing for the second uncle.
The second uncle is unwilling, and further on, it will still be like this.
Until he touched the stage, the smell was so bad that the monks above couldn't stand it, and an old monk asked someone to give him a few steamed buns, and finally coaxed the second uncle back.
After eating steamed buns, the second uncle had the strength and slowly came back to his senses.
At night, I was going to go back to the shop to sleep, and I heard Hanako not far away saying that there were female relatives in this temple who came to play tomorrow and could ask for some money.
The second uncle thought that he was already like this, and he couldn't go back to Wenjingli if he was worthless, so it was better to be a flower boy first and ask for some money, and save up the travel expenses before leaving.
Thinking like this, he slept directly at this mountain gate.
The next day, sure enough, a lot of pilgrims came, especially the female dependents.
Today may be the local temple land, in addition to the incense of many customers, there are many sellers, jugglers, and storytellers.
The incense-burning, leisurely fish rushed into the temple, and the flowers sat at the front door, not daring to go in, only waiting for people to come out, and then they stopped asking for money.
Those who are good will give alms, and those who do not do good will be cursed. There are also first-class women, who can't be entangled, so they have no choice but to give up a few words. All day long, I will ask for thirty or fifty yuan, and if I don't want it, I may not have any money.
The second uncle couldn't squeeze people because of the sores, and secondly, he wouldn't beg for the tender face, if it wasn't for his miserable appearance, the female dependents who passed by looked pitiful and gave him ten words, afraid that he would still be hungry at night.
The second uncle didn't dare to use the dozen or so texts that he finally obtained, and in view of the fact that his crotch was scratched, he deliberately hid the copper on the soles of his feet this time.
Although he walks awkwardly, he doesn't have to worry about being stolen.
In this way, the second uncle stayed outside this Qiyun Temple and begged for six or seven days in a row.
The money begged for is also fifty dollars.
One day, a big family burned incense, and the second uncle kowtowed to others on the side of the road and begged for a send, saying that he was not a flower child, but a guest from outside, because he was stolen by a thief, he was penniless, and begged for mercy.
The daughter of the big family listened pitiful, and asked someone to give 100 yuan to the second uncle.
The second uncle got the 100 cents, and he was so happy that he was afraid that other flowers would see it and rob it, so he hurriedly stuffed it into his arms and kowtowed several times to the sedan chair of other people's daughters.
At night, the second uncle found a secluded place alone, counted the money he had begged for by the moonlight, and found that there were one hundred and sixty texts, and his heart fluttered.
Before dawn the next day, I left this Qiyun Temple and found a carriage and horse shop to buy tickets. Before buying a ticket, I went to the river to wash my body, so as not to think that he stinked and didn't get on the bus.
The sores on his body will be scarred, and the second uncle knows that as long as there is a scar, the disease will be cured, and his heart will be stable.
I washed my body and felt comfortable.
Seeing that the clothes were dirty and not decent, I simply stripped naked and washed the clothes.
Then he folded some bamboo, put his clothes up, and lay down on a rock by the river with his bare buttocks, waiting for his clothes to dry.
Alone, it's all about basking in the sun.
Take time, and still look for lice in the crotch, this time, lice can stare at his old man not lightly, itching is not good.
After a long day of drying, the clothes were finally dry, and I happily put on my shirt and went to buy a ticket.
After getting into the car, the second uncle thought about the tragedy of the past half a month, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down, and the passengers around him looked strange.
The second uncle got into the car here, and in the capital, Liangchen was saying goodbye to his concubine.
"After my mother used the chrysanthemum you offered, the poisonous sores will be cured, and they will not hurt or itch, so I will thank you well." Shou Ning was a little reluctant to leave.
"How can we be slaves and maids to let the mother thank you, it is our duty to be a slave and maid to share the worries of the mother... Besides, isn't your mother my mother? Liangchen was also very happy, shook his hair, and the big gold chain around his neck made Shou Ning stunned.
"My mother has nothing to do with you." Shou Ning glanced at him, and then he noticed the golden light on his lover's neck.
Liangchen was particularly satisfied with the big gold chain around his neck, which was three or two heavy.
This gold chain makes him feel like a social person, and from now on, his father-in-law Wei will rise and rise, and he will pull the wind wherever he goes.
Shou Ning was speechless, he had seen a lot of gold ornaments, but he had never seen anyone beat gold into a chain and wear it. But don't say it, it's really nice to look at.
"Are you really leaving?" Shou Ning was reluctant.
"I can't help but go." Liangchen also wants to stay, but if God doesn't keep him, it's useless for people to keep him.
"Oh."
Shou Ning was silent for a while, then suddenly pointed to his stomach and said in a low voice, "I won the bid." ”
