The sun seemed to leap overhead, and the spilled sunlight suddenly became hot. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In such weather, even the boats on the Cai River stopped and went to the big willow trees on the shore to take refuge from the heat. There is not a single pedestrian on the street, it is deserted, and it is simply two worlds from the previous prosperous scene.

Many of the inns and freight yards here are all housekeepers belonging to the three divisions, and seeing that there is no business, the supervisor let the little servants go to the door panel and rest in the shade. In the summer, there has always been more business at night than during the day, and the spirit is enough during the day, so that you will not miss things at night. The capital is not the same as the other places, the sun rises and the sun sets, and the night market here sometimes lasts until the early hours of the morning, and it is lively at night.

Seeing the door panel, Liu Banniang no longer sat in front of the door, and went around the small corner door to the place where she lived behind.

She is a native of Huazhou, Shaanxi Province, and grew up with a half-blind old man who traveled to the county since she was a child, and relied on singing small songs for guests in the restaurant to listen to, and begging for some money to make a living. At that time, she was thirteen or fourteen years old, holding an iron pipa in her arms, and the old man was holding an iron squirt, and she was also somewhat famous in several nearby states and counties.

Later, the old man died, and Liu Banniang had no money to buy a coffin, so she had to find a temple and burn it. At that time, she was eighteen years old, and she had no relatives, and even the deceased old man, she didn't know whether it was her own father or her adoptive father until she died. Since then, Liu Banniang has been singing songs to people in restaurants in Huazhou, day by day.

Two years ago, there was a Song official who supervised the liquor tax in Huazhou who liked to listen to her singing, and after coming and going, he accepted her as a concubine, which was regarded as a home. I didn't think that when the term of office of the Song Dynasty official expired and he returned to the capital for the candidacy, the eldest lady of the family came to reunite, but she couldn't tolerate Liu Banniang.

There was a lot of trouble in the house, and the news came out, and the Song officials were taken as concubines under the rule of ginseng, violating the law of the country, and were demoted to Kuizhou Road all of a sudden. Liu Banniang was kicked out of the Song family and was helpless in the capital, so she borrowed this inn.

Far away in a foreign land, there was a sudden big change, Liu Banniang fell ill all of a sudden, and the silver money on her body was quickly spent. The people in the store didn't kick her out, but also gave her medicine to treat her illness, and she tossed for a month or two before she gradually got better.

In the past few months, the store money has to be repaid, and the medicine money advanced by the store has to be repaid, and since then, Liu Banniang has been saddled with unpaid debts. I lived in the store every day, and someone in a nearby restaurant called me to sing a song, and I got a reward to pay off my debts.

When she was kicked out of the Song family, Liu Banniang was injured by the eldest lady, and then had another serious illness, leaving a scar on her face. Although she doesn't rely on her face to eat, her face is a woman's appearance after all, and business is not good. The old debts have not been paid off, and new debts have arisen, and I don't know when they will come to an end.

Liu Er is the supervisor of the store, who invited Liu Banniang to see her, for fear that she would run away and have nowhere to collect debts.

At the beginning, Liu Banniang remembered the kindness of taking medicine and seeing a doctor in the store, and she was also conscientious. As the days went by, she gradually heard the rumors, and only then did she understand what was going on.

This store belongs to the three divisions, and the supervisor is just a public servant in the three divisions, and he only receives monthly money. Rong Liu Banniang lived in the store, and gave her medicine to see a doctor, not because the supervisor was kind, but because the guests were driven out and died, the government couldn't afford to lose that person. Liu Banniang's expenses are all hung on the accounts of the three divisions, and the supervisor is just handling it.

That's not all, the director took advantage of this opportunity to collude with the people in the pharmacy to inflate the price of the drug, and made a lot of money from it. All this is counted on Liu Banniang's head, and she is asked to pay it back.

Knowing the news, Liu Banniang's original gratitude to the store supervisor suddenly came to naught. People were watched, and they couldn't walk, so they had to live hard in the store day by day.

The sun overhead was scorching, and there was no wind, and the ground was like a steamer, which was uncomfortable.

Liu Banniang felt that the clothes on her body were soaked with sweat, which was really uncomfortable. When I got to my door, I looked left and right, and there was no one in the courtyard. So he took out the basin of water, went to the well and fetched a plate of cool well water, and brought it into his house, wanting to wipe his body while it was hot at noon, and it would be more refreshing.

Liu Er squatted in the shade of the big willow tree outside for a while, bored.

He is just an idle man on the street, usually only drinks and gambles for money, and when he has no money, he goes to be an idler to help him, pestering rich and noble children to rub a few copper coins and spend money. Since I got this messenger who watched Liu Banniang, I had a little more money on hand. All the rewards that Liu Banniang got were collected by Liu Er. According to this guy's temperament, where is the reason not to be deducted? Liu Banniang worked hard all day, and how much reward she got from Liu Er did not have an accurate number, and most of them were deducted by him.

It's been really hot these days, and business has been much lighter. There is no way, Liu Banniang is just singing, naturally she can't compete with those tender Erba little ladies. At this time, the clothes were lightly dressed, and it was inevitable that there would be a little sweat on the body in the hot weather, which inadvertently attracted the spring (love) of the guests listening to the music. When the love was deep, the end was late at night, and many guests who listened to the music went home with the little lady who sang the song.

Liu Banniang is now at this age, like this, where can she still do this kind of business?

Liu Er's hands also tightened, and he was angry every day, often taking Liu Banniang to get angry.

The willow tree squatted down for a while, and Liu Er felt anxious. Standing up, he looked around, and saw that there was no figure around, so he untied his belt in front of the big willow tree.

I didn't want to be driven away by Liu Er just now, and the peaches seller happened to turn back, and saw Liu Er from a distance by the willow tree as if he was a little relieved, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Liu Er, you pee on the tree, aren't you like the yellow dog in front of the door?" I've heard that dogs pee on their own territory, so be careful that big yellow dog gets up and bites your life! ”

Frightened by this, Liu Eryi soaked urine and didn't pee out and suffocated back to his stomach, and his face was flushed.

Hurriedly lifted his pants again, Liu Er turned to the little guy and shouted: "Straight thief, you are only against me today, it seems that you are itchy to beg for a beating!" ”

The little guy carried the basket on his shoulder, crossed his waist and puffed up his thin chest and shouted, "Come, come, come!" Liu Er, if you catch up with me, grandpa will let you punch three times! If you can't catch up, today you are my grandson! ”

When Liu Er heard this, he was so angry that he smoked, tied his trouser belt casually, and chased after the little guy.

The little guy had no business because of the hot weather, and he didn't sell a single basket of peaches, and he was also angry, and he was looking for someone to have fun. Seeing Liu Er running towards him, he hugged the basket into his arms and ran away.

The little boy was thirteen or fourteen years old, dexterous as a monkey, and turned east and west, turned in a circle, and ran back to the willow tree. Liu Er is out of breath, where can he catch up with him?

When he arrived under the big willow tree, the little maid looked carefully under the tree, and said, "It turns out that your urine was scared back by the master, and it didn't spill out." Remember, it's the yellow dog that pees under the tree! In the future, when it gets wet here, remember you, I told people everywhere that you and that dog peed here! ”

Liu Er bent down and gasped for breath, and when he heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, straightened up suddenly, and suddenly ran towards the little guy.

That little thief, his eyes kept staring at Liu Er, and when he saw him running towards him, he laughed. Holding the basket tightly, he led Liu Er to circle around the big willow tree, and ran up the cloud riding bridge like a little wind.

Liu Er knew that he couldn't catch up, so he had to hold on to the big willow tree to catch his breath. But I don't want to go through this toss, and I can't hold it anymore. Stopping suddenly, Liu Er only felt that his pants were hot, and an extremely comfortable feeling hit him, and his body shook a few times unconsciously.

The comfort passed, and the wet pants were full of fishy smell, straight to Liu Er's nostrils. That kind of embarrassment, that kind of sourness, is really indescribable.

Liu Er held on to the big willow tree and wanted to cry. Which god and Buddha did you offend and cause such a disaster for nothing! The conscience of heaven and earth, I only have one pair of pants that I can wear to see people, how is this good?

falling from the sky, could it be that something good is coming? I don't know how God lifts up, so I ended up with this lesson!

Liu Er thought about it, and hurriedly looked up at the sky, but he didn't know where the immortal was, so he just bowed twice.

This urine has been held for too long, and the fishy smell of the pants is overwhelming, and Liu Er himself can't bear it. After thinking about it, I had to go back to the backyard to wash it first. Fortunately, it's hot now, and there is nothing to wear on your body without waiting for your pants to dry. If others ask, they just say that it is because of the hot weather and they went down to the Cai River to wash it, what is it!

It was quiet in the backyard, and there was no one. It's the hottest time, which one is out there?

Liu Er looked around in a ghostly manner, tiptoed to the well, fetched a bucket of water, and poured it straight to his crotch. As soon as the cool well water touched his body, Liu Er couldn't help but shiver comfortably.

After pouring several large buckets of water fiercely, Liu Er bent down and sniffed it, as if the fishy smell was not so heavy. Only then did he put down the bucket, walked under the sun, spread his legs, thought about it, pouted his butt and dried the back first.

It was when the sun was the most vicious, and he didn't feel it at first, but after a while, Liu Er felt that the exposed skin was sunburned. The crotch was wet, and when it was sunburned, it was steamed, and the taste was really ecstatic.

Without waiting for his butt to dry, Liu Er couldn't bear it. Straighten up and look down at the place where your calves are exposed, which have already shed a layer of skin.

Looking at the sun, Liu Er wanted to cry without tears. If you dry your pants in the sun, you're afraid that your lifeblood will be steamed together, how can this be good?

Standing in place and thinking for a while, he turned his head and saw Liu Banniang's door.

Okay, why don't you go to the mother-in-law's house and get a chair first. So he sat at the entrance of her room, and dried his trousers by the wind of the hall, as if he were exposed to the sun. (To be continued.) )
