Chapter 306: Seeing Clearly, Not Giving Life
There are people who come and go on the flowing water mat, and none of the five incense heads show up, but there are a lot of heads from all over the place, and these heads are not small, and the ones who go down in twos and twos, and then sit on the flowing water mat to eat and drink.
The head is not alone, but also brings his subordinate incense people, on every table or two tables, there are always people who drink too much and make trouble, either scolding and beating, or standing up and scolding Wang Tong and Jinyiwei.
Repairing forts by the river, bombarding Jinhedian, killing Cui Da on the street, and beheading Jiang Song in the courtyard, who doesn't know these things, the dog official Wang Tong is young, but the means are ruthless, and everyone is not afraid.
Before the person who drank too much said a few words, Lao Cheng persuaded him to be quieter, and there was a shout that drank too much, 'The big guy went to the dog official to ask for justice', and some people even scolded him.
On a noisy day, although it was just scolding and scratching, nothing happened, but everyone went back with a stomach full of resentment.
I spent a little money to eat a stomach of wine and meat, but when I went home, I had to think about how to live, and what I said at the banquet was not false, I used to live comfortably, but it was not this Wang Tong who came, so it was so miserable.
Ma Dafu's mother-in-law got up in the morning and cried, and by the afternoon she couldn't squeeze out any tears, so she howled there, or she would have laughed.
Counting Ma Dafu's win, plus the followers everywhere, how can it add up to three hundred taels, it is not difficult to go back to his parents' house with his children to remarry with this money, and he will not have to worry about life in the future.
The head said clearly, after the funeral is done today, tomorrow the people will be buried out of the city, hire a big car and go directly to your mother's house, in this city, you orphans and widows have nothing convenient. “
Although there is a seven-day or something like that, but the family of a small family is important, and the head is given silver, and the scenery is done again, and the mother-in-law of the Ma family agrees.
Second, the longevity shop sent a big car and a few young men over, and someone here also hired a big car for this family, and as soon as the soft clothes were packed, they left directly.
After the two carts went out of the city for ten miles, the two sides were already quite desolate, and they turned to this side, and arrived at the feng shui treasure land that is said to be the selection of longevity materials, and the people were buried there.
After a while, the two carts came out, the coffin was gone, and the people in the carriage were gone, leaving only the young men who took the cart back to Tianjin.
As for the mother-in-law and children of the Ma family, they did not return to their parents' house, and Tianjin Wei and Jinghai were so far apart, no one knew, and no one inquired.
***********
Some of the incense people on the bow of the boat drink and gamble at home all day long, some use their former savings to start a small business, and some of them pull down their children to do work.
Left and right are all trying to eat, used to eat meat, now eat vegetables, but also full of life, maybe there will be a turning point in the future, it doesn't matter if you think about it.
Sha Erbao is eighteen years old this year, and he is the most ordinary incense person in the bow of the boat, to put it bluntly, he is strong and strong, in order to have a full stomach to eat.
He has no father or mother, two sisters and brothers in the family, the elder sister married to Tianjin Wei, and the brother-in-law is just a peddler selling steamed buns, and he has two children, so he can't help him.
After entering the bow incense, he was willing to exert his strength, unloaded a lot, got a lot, and often gave his sister and brother-in-law some odd and small money, and did not delay his own stomach, but also had a happy life.
As soon as the incense on the bow of the boat poured, this Sha Erbao didn't feel any sadness, he burned incense for a year, worked a lot in it, and earned about the same as working the dock, it is said that it will be better to survive for a few years, isn't it too late to survive the year, and his sister and brother-in-law get up early in the morning to get a steamed bun shop, and they have to pay the money for burning incense.
Now pay the peace money, such a stall to pay a fixed amount, five wen per month, if there is difficulty in not paying, you can also grace a few years, it is the same as not paying, this is a lot better.
I went to the dock to carry the work, worked more and took more, and was not pumped from above, nor was I taken by those old guys and predecessors, but I earned more than before.
Sha Erbao is too bitter, he knows that it is not easy to make money, and he also knows that he is good to his sister and brother-in-law, and has worked on the dock for more than a month, but the shopkeeper of a porcelain store thinks that this child is good, he is a loyal person, and it is good to be a buddy in the store.
Carrying work as a guy in the warehouse, the money was about the same as outside at the beginning, but he could take care of the food, and there was a red envelope or something at the end of the year, and his identity was more decent.
After Sha Erbao got this errand, his sister and brother-in-law were overjoyed, and the neighbors knew about it, and some people came to the door to propose marriage.
It was almost the day of Ma Dafu's funeral, Sha Erbao, who was working in the backyard, was called over by the shopkeeper.
This is really a slap in the face, no matter how Sha Erbao thinks about himself, there is nothing wrong with him, but the shopkeeper's words, he has nowhere to reason, it's a big deal to go out and work hard to make money.
Honest people can see that they are not tired, and now on the ground in Tianjin, it is very simple to be willing to make efforts to eat well, if you find the right place, such as the Haihe River or something, you can still make money.
A little bit of attention can make a judgment, the large number of shops and warehouses on the edge of the Haihe River, there can be less manpower, and when the time comes, everyone will go over there to do it, how can they eat together.
Although Sha Erbao can think about it, but this is not a good thing after all, go home and tell his sister and brother-in-law, his sister is crying, and his brother-in-law even scolded himself, saying that he should not let Erbao enter the bow incense of Laoshizi.
Sha Erbao used the rest of his salary to buy some candy for his niece and nephew, went to the market to buy a few fruits, went back to his residence, and went to work tomorrow.
His residence is a shed by the dock outside the city, those who have no money and no home live here, and Sha Erbao's residence is on the side, which is nothing more than a broken house and a broken bed to sleep.
This place does not stop at night, firstly, there is unloading at night on the canal, and the night of the merchant house also has to use people, and secondly, everyone has no home and no mouth, no one cares, a little money is spent clean and there is no worry, there is a job to work, there is no work to drink, crazy, gather people to gamble, and lead a woman to toss the house, anyway, there is a commotion.
Such a place, even the yamen servants rarely come, lawless places, here is to sweep the snow in front of the door, other family affairs do not care, even the bow incense back then had a head here to suffer, the result of the commotion did not even know who did it, but it was over.
On the night of September 13, except that the moon was a little bigger, the weather was a little colder, there was nothing unusual, everyone ate, drank and gambled without delay, and those who had no money covered their heads went to sleep, and they tossed until midnight to be quiet.
The night was fine, just like that, the next morning when I got up, or took care of each other, and carried the man on the dock, Sha Erbao came to say hello last night, saying that we would go together tomorrow, go early and be selected early, and maybe I won't live if I go late, who wants to wait left and right, Sha Erbao didn't come.
"Damn, I haven't been a buddy for a few days, and I have developed a young master's temper, Erbao, you are not a second young master."
Fortunately, this Sha Erbao used to be really good, whoever had a headache and brain fever had to go over to help, and he didn't care when he worked and shared the money, everyone always remembered the favors, scolded and scolded, but he always had to go over and shout.
Broken sheds and broken houses, the door is also a block, and the one who calls people is not taboo, watching the door close, and slapping hard outside, scolding with a throat:
"Erbao is up, what kind of stinky problem did the guy raise......"
But it also happened that this vigorously knocked on the door a few times, the door actually opened, could it be that the person had already gotten up, and the probe went in to see, and the "mother" who called the person screamed, took a few steps backwards, tripped over the threshold, and sat on the ground at once.
There were still more than a dozen people waiting outside, listening to this scream, they all felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran over, and the trembling man who was sitting on the ground stretched out his hand to point to the room, and stammered:
"Dead ...... Dead man......"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, opened the door and ran in, Sha Erbao tied a knot on the beam of the house with a strip of cloth tied with a belt, and hanged himself.
At this time, no one cares about going to work, putting people down from above, their bodies are cold and stiff, and they are dead, some people run to report to the official, and some people go to his sister's house in the city to report the news, everyone is speechless at this time, a good young man, why can't he think about it!
This is outside the city, several courtyards of Chuantou Xiang are here, but Chuantou Xiang got the news the fastest, when the people from Chuantou Xiang came, Sha Erbao, his sister and the people from the government had not yet come.
There were more than thirty people on the bow of the boat, although the momentum was not as good as before, but there were many people, and the others were also a little afraid, and the head of the head was full of anger, looked at the corpse on the ground and said:
"What a young man, why can't you think about it like this, how old are you, everyone, who knows what this is for?"
Everyone looked at each other, everyone had their own way, and they really didn't know, but someone in the outer circle hesitated and said:
"I saw it last night, and Erbao said that he was kicked out of the shop where he was doing the work, and said that because he burned incense, he didn't dare to use him."
After hearing this, the head looked back at the people who had followed, and quieted down, and after a while he let out a long sigh, and his face was full of discouragement.
Tianjin Wei is not big, it didn't take long for Sha Erbao's sister and brother-in-law to rush here, saw his brother's body, and thought about the young man who was still there yesterday to comfort his two people not to worry, and also bought candy for his niece and niece, and he didn't see him all night, and he actually hanged himself.
Sha Erbao's sister looked at it a few times in a daze, and jumped up and cried, the sister and brother were heart-to-heart, crying extremely miserably, his brother-in-law squatted on the ground and covered his face, his shoulders shrugged.
The people around couldn't bear to look at it, and the head who came over said in a hoarse voice:
"This doesn't make our bow incense alive."
The atmosphere was depressing, everyone was a little stunned, and there was silence behind their heads for a while, and the head turned back and glared fiercely, and the incense people who came immediately began to lament and complain......
