An old man sneered: "Lao Xu, you have never been a sesame official in your life. I heard that you are also a hen pecked man at home, and you are still under the control of your wife. You said that you have never been in charge of a person all your life."
Lao Xu clapped his head on his chest and said, "who says I have never been in charge of people? My two sons and one daughter are all under my jurisdiction."
"Old Xu, just blow it. I heard that your children only listen to your wife. Your words are like farting."
"Who said that? I am the leader in front of my children. "
"Old Xu, don't brag. We are in the neighborhood. Who doesn't know who's inside out. You can only manage the mice, flies, mosquitoes in the housekeeper, and the sparrows in the field
The old men laughed together.
With a displeased look on his face, Lao Xu sat down on the stool and said to the waiter, "give me a pot of Longjing tea, the best, a pack of cigarettes, a soft China, and a plate of melon seeds."
An old man was surprised and asked, "old Xu, are you soft today? Where did you get the money? It's not stealing your wife's money, is it
"Ha ha... I didn't say that just now. People asked me to find a way to find the body of a young girl. I inquired around and found him the body of a young girl. So they gave me 1000 yuan for running errands."
"Ah! Lao Xu, you are really good at finding the body of a young girl. How did you find it? "
Old Xu head mysterious said: "ha ha... This I will keep secret, this is privacy, do you understand, what is privacy?"
"Lao Xu, you don't go to steal tombs in the middle of the night, do you?"
Lao Xu's head looked unhappy and said seriously, "who am I? Don't you know? I've never done anything wrong in my life. "
"Mr. Xu, it's true that you haven't done anything bad in your life, but I haven't heard that you've done anything good."
"Why haven't I done anything good? This time, I found a corpse of a young girl. That's what I did. "
"Lao Xu, I think: you are not doing good, you are doing business. As you said just now, you helped others to build a bridge and get a young woman's corpse. They paid you 1000 yuan. Isn't that business? "
"This... How is this business? If you do business, it's selling female corpses, but I'm just introducing them and charging a little intermediary fee. "
"Mr. Xu, since you've collected the agency fee, it's business. It's definitely not a good thing."
Lao Xu was a little angry. He didn't drink tea or eat melon seeds. He stood up and left.
The thin monkey took out a cigarette, handed it to an old man and asked, "where does the old Xu live, sir?"
"He's from xujiawan."
"Is xujiawan far from here?"
"It's not far. It's five miles away."
Thin monkey can't take care of tea, he immediately got up and went to xujiawan.
Xujiawan is not far from the town. It's a big village.
The skinny monkey came into the village and saw several old men standing under the big tree chatting, so he went over.
The thin monkey took out a cigarette and gave it to each boss. He asked, "I'm a peddler of mountain goods. Who has mountain goods in the village?"
An old man asked, "what kind of goods do you accept?"
"I take Chinese herbal medicine, and I also take prey. Anyway, as long as it's mountain goods, I want them."
The old man shook his head and said, "there are some hunters in our village. They fight some rabbits and pheasants. Do you want them?"
The thin monkey quickly said, "yes, of course I will."
The old man said: "the day before yesterday, a mountain goods collector came and took away the rabbits and pheasants. If you want to, you have to come back for a while."
The thin monkey asked, "I want to stay in the village for a few days. Maybe I can get some mountain goods."
The old man pointed to the sisters sitting on the millstone and said, "the sister-in-law in red has a spare house in his family. She often takes in the accommodation for those mountain goods. Go and ask."
The thin monkey went to the millstone and asked the lady in red, "sister-in-law, I heard that your family can live here. I want to live here for a few days to receive mountain goods."
Red sister-in-law smilingly said: "no problem, in my home tube eat tube live, 30 yuan a day, you can not be too expensive ah, you ask: my family's food is good, dundundun all have meat."
Thin monkey quickly said: "good, then I'll come to your house to live, disturb you."
Sister in red stood up and said, "let's go. I'll take you home."
Sister in law in red lives in the east of the village. There are three rooms in her family.
The three cottages are separated, and each one has a door. It seems that her house has been transformed to accommodate the guests.
It's a thatched cottage, but it's very new.
There are almost no tile roofed houses in xujiawan. There are all kinds of cottages. It seems that the people here are very poor.
"My husband and I are the only two people in my family, and both my sons are working outside," she said
Sister in red opened the door of the thatched cottage in the West and said, "you can live in this room. The bedding on the bed is clean."
The thin monkey took out 100 yuan and handed it to the sister-in-law in red. He said, "I'll pay for the room for three days in advance. If I live more, I'll give you more money."
The sister-in-law in red borrowed money and said happily, "little brother, do you accept mountain goods?"
"Yes, I want to take some rabbits and pheasants."
"You don't look like a businessman to me."
The thin monkey was surprised and asked, "why don't I look like a businessman?"
"Ha ha... I often live here to receive mountain goods. People always carry carrying carrying poles and baskets. You know, we don't open to traffic here. We have to walk several miles on the mountain road. It's rare for us to come here naked like you."
The thin monkey laughs and explains, "I like to be sharp, but I don't like to carry a pile of carrying pole baskets with me. When I receive the mountain goods, I'll buy one carrying pole and two baskets here, and it won't cost me much."
"Ha ha... Brother, it seems that you can't be economical. It's much more expensive to buy baskets here than in market towns, because we don't produce bamboo here, so it's more expensive. Those who often come to collect mountain goods buy good carrying poles and baskets in the town. "
"Ha ha... It's the first time I've come here to receive mountain goods. I don't know the market, but I think it's no matter how expensive it is."
The skinny monkey lives in the red sister-in-law's house.
In the evening, her husband came back.
This man is small and thin, with a sharp mouth and a monkey's cheek. At first sight, he is a shrewd and cunning man.
The thin monkey said, "uncle, you're back."
"Who are you?"
The thin monkey replied, "uncle, I'm a mountain merchant. I'm staying at your house."
