Without the stone, the excitement is really not lively. When I turned into a corner of the alleyway, I really had the idea of ​​looking for Shijiao again, but in the middle of the road ahead, a woman distracted my thoughts.The woman had been standing there holding the dog for a long time. The dog licked her nose with her tongue, and she kissed the dog's forehead with her mouth, forgetting about it.There has always been a custom in Qingfeng Town: Men do not keep cats, and women do not keep dogs.It means that dogs are greedy and easy to misbehave with women, and cats will mistakenly catch men's genitals as mice.But some women in the city keep dogs, which makes me hard to understand.The woman holding the dog was standing in the middle of the road. I was hesitating whether to stop or pull the trolley to the side of the road, but the woman gave way to me.OK, be polite.I have a crush on this woman.When I passed by, the dog rushed to me and said: Wang, Wang!I don't understand dog language, but I can hear the gentleness of the dog's voice, maybe it is like a naughty child, so I replied: woof!The woman cried: Baker, Baker!Put the dog's head in his arms.Why are beautiful women all beautiful in the same way? Could it be that ugly people, such as Wu Fu and Huang Ba, are different from each other?

My figure and the woman's figure overlapped and separated, as light as two layers of paper torn apart, I just said that I just walked by like the beautiful women I meet every day, but this one spoke, saying :Hey! Is she talking, or calling her Baker?Such a foreign name! Cats and dogs are the pets of many people in the city. The rack car is my tool and my pet. Everything that becomes a tool has a soul, and it is also divided into genders. Then, my rack car is male. Or mother?Shouldn't it be a nice name too? The woman said again: Hey! I took a sniff, and the woman's perfume smelled weird.I said: Did you call me?

Only now can I say that picking up trash is not a heavy physical activity for anyone in Qingfeng Town. Even if the legs are swollen and swollen every day, it is enough to boil a pot of hot water for bubbles at night, but picking up trash is The hardest job in the world, it talks less.Although almost everyone in Wudaoxiang to Shidaoxiang knew me and talked to me, they were bargaining with me for the rags they sold, or they occasionally made fun of me when they were free.Most of the time, no one cares about you. You clearly see that he knows you, but yesterday you asked how you could say "suction" as "spin". Walking past, it seems that when you walk through the streets and alleys, you are a leaf and a piece of paper blown by the wind in the streets and alleys.This woman, she didn't mention the junk to sell, but she said twice: Hey.What is she going to say to me?If she's asking how she's grooming her dog, of course I think it's well groomed.Look at this curly hair dyed with a lock of green and a lock of yellow, paired with a small white suit, has a dog raised a son, no, it's a man!If she wants to ask me where I come from, then I have to tell her slowly.Let me first say that the idiom "beautiful and rich" is actually wrong. Rich places are often not beautiful, and beautiful places are often not rich. Qingfeng Town is not rich but beautiful, so I am not ugly but I left my hometown and came to Xi'an.

However, the woman said: how to collect old newspapers? Oh. Still a junkie!My neck goes limp.But I still want to say more, I said: Oh, do you want to sell old newspapers?Old newspapers cost ten cents a catty. How many old newspapers do you have in your home? Do you subscribe to several kinds of newspapers? The woman said: After a while, I will go to the building in front, the sixth floor of the third unit, and the left-hand door. The woman walked away without looking back, and I was left there, without any intelligence.I felt that I was very thin, and my clothes were suddenly too loose to fit my body. Fortunately, there was no one around, so I took out a cigarette to smoke, and the lighter couldn't be turned on anyway.Do you still want to go to that building?Don't go, why look at her high eyebrows and low eyes, I don't expect your old newspapers to make a fortune, you are so noble, let the rags fill your house!How can I not go, how can I talk to a stranger, what can I blame him, unreasonable demands!I stood there thinking over and over again, and finally took a scale and a sack to climb the sixth floor of the third unit of that building.

A cat came down the stairs silently, like a tiger.All beasts are lonely and do not speak.I am also a beast.The little bird couldn't stand the loneliness, so it kept chirping. The left-hand door on the sixth floor has been opened, and the woman came out of the house to hold old newspapers, one base after another, piled up in the aisle.The meaning is very clear, people don't want me to enter the house.I can understand this.I am often called to the house to collect junk. Some people let me go in with my shoes on, give me water to drink, and ask me if I want to smoke cigarettes, while some people let me take off my shoes and put on slippers or give me Plastic shoe covers are on the shoes, and the woman who refuses to enter the house is the first.Maybe this woman is a woman from a wealthy family. They are preventing strangers from stealing and stealing if they know the situation in the house. Maybe she is single. In short, she doesn't want me to enter the house, and I didn't even look in the door. Look, I just lowered my head and sorted out the old newspapers and put them in sacks.

A six-inch photo was found in an old newspaper. It showed a man, a decent man with clean hair.I took out the photo and said: This photo.placed on the door frame floor.The woman kicked the photo out with her foot. I said: no more? The woman hugged the dog again, and the dog had changed into casual clothes, a checkered bag and sunglasses, she didn't look at me and didn't make a sound. I know there must be a story in this room, and the story is not pleasant.I stuffed the photos into old newspapers and stuffed them into sacks, suddenly feeling sorry for this woman.He began to weigh the sacks, and the scales were too high, to calculate the accounts aloud, counting with his fingers like elementary school students doing arithmetic, and read out every step, then took out the wallet from his trouser pocket, deliberately took out the Leather wallet.I looked at the dog as I handed over the money.

I said: the dog is so beautiful! When I say dogs are beautiful, of course I am still praising women for their beauty.I have to please her, I want her to be happy, and I want her to think that I am educated and elegant, I hope she can look at me with soft eyes. This woman is an ice woman, she still didn't speak, and the door slammed shut as soon as the money was collected. The door slammed loudly, and the wind made my hair rise!This irritated me greatly, what the hell, it's so impolite, even if there is something wrong with your family, you can't treat me like this?You are more beautiful than your beautiful women on the street, you are rich and I have also been to some big bosses’ villas to collect rags, what kind of injury have you suffered? Take it out on me, if I am not a rag collector, can you do this Is it closed? !I was really angry at that time, I was so angry that I gritted my teeth and gasped for breath.

When I was angry, I wanted to smoke a cigarette or eat a few mouthfuls of fermented bean curd, but I took out the paper bag containing fermented bean curd, and what I took out was a toothpick. I suddenly had an evil thought and stuck the toothpick into the door. In the keyhole, poke hard, and then break the toothpick. Picking up the sack and going downstairs, I hope that after I go downstairs, I can meet Shi Huan. However, there was no excitement downstairs.I didn't want to yell to collect trash any more, so I simply walked through all the seven alleys, eight alleys, nine alleys and ten alleys, but there was still no sign of stone noise.

Shi Huan, how lovely Shi Huan, where are you? In the process of looking for Shijiao, my anger slowly subsided, thinking that the woman is not a good woman, but, if you treat me lightly, it must be because I am not valued by her. If I were the mayor, she would Can she do this, if I am a rich man, can she do this, and I am not the mayor, not a rich man, or even a citizen with a registered permanent residence in Xi'an, I can only blame myself.who am I?I'm not an ordinary person, I remind me, I'm definitely not an ordinary person!It seems that this woman has no insight, she sees me as rubble, of course she refuses to collect it, and I am a pearl, she puts it in the dung, is that her ignorance and pity!

When I thought about it this way, I calmed down. Do I have to endure the sound of toads when crossing the swamp? Why should I be as knowledgeable as this woman?I think my anger is because people are poor and thoughtful, and putting a toothpick in the keyhole of her house is a low-level act.Wu Fu and Huang Ba did this kind of thing, how could Liu Gaoxing do it? ! I checked on the walls of the streets, on the bus stop signs, and on the lampposts to see if there were any advertisements for unlocking.I finally found the phone number of a lock-picking company among so many wild advertisements for renting houses that cure venereal diseases, cure body odor, and do false certificates.I went to the grocery store to make a pay phone call and told them to go to the left-hand door on the sixth floor of the third unit of that building as quickly as possible to unlock it.

The unlocker asked: What is your last name? I said: My surname is Huang, Huang Ba. The unlocker said: Mr. Huang Ba, you wait downstairs, we will be there soon. I said: No, I am at work now, you go directly, my wife is at home, she is locked inside. This afternoon, I didn't go to Shouhou's buying station to sell the junk, and I didn't tell Wu Fu, so I went back to Chitou Village early with a shelf cart.Sitting alone on the left upstairs, feeling bored again, flipping through the waste newspapers one by one, I heard the sound of birds fluttering, I looked out the door, and there were many birds on the locust tree. , Birds continued to fly, and then there was a mess of chirping.Although there are birds living on the locust tree, there have never been so many birds, which surprised me.In Qingfeng Town, it is very auspicious if there are birds nesting on the tree in front of the door or under the eaves. So many birds suddenly come to the locust tree, are they having a meeting?I didn't dare to go out, and I didn't dare to make any noise to disturb me.There are a lot of news about Xi'an in the newspaper, no, it is old news, but it is so fresh to me.For example, a migrant worker committed suicide on the overhead crane at a certain construction site to protest wage arrears, and the mayor came to the scene to rescue and deal with it.For example, the tallest building in Northwest China was completed at a certain intersection, and the owner was a shoe repair stand at this intersection for ten years.For example, a burglary and homicide case occurred in a certain community, the suspect is at large, and a reward of 50,000 yuan is offered to those who provide clues.For example, due to conflicts over demolition and relocation in the middle section of XXX Road, the traffic was interrupted for five hours.I was so fascinated by the reading that I regretted not buying a newspaper every day after coming to Xi'an for so long.Liu Xingxin, you still pay attention to being educated, have you completely confused yourself into a rich man or a prostitute?Thinking of this, I looked up at the sky from the door, and felt that the sky suddenly became so blue and so high, but suddenly felt that there was no bird singing.Where are the birds?When I walked out the door, Huang Ba was lying on the branch of a tree. I said: Huang Ba, when did you come back? Huang Ba said: I've been back for a while.He snapped a dead branch. I said: What are you doing? Huang Ba said: I poked the bird's nest to burn firewood. The bird's nest, which was as big as a basin, fell down and fell at my feet. I flew into a rage, almost swearing out the foul language of Qingfeng Town that I had almost forgotten.I scold you that wolves don't eat, you who got shot, scoundrel, bastard, fucked by a whore, you poke a bird's nest when you can't find firewood for cooking!Where can a bird live without a nest, so that you can sleep on the road at night to lay your dead body? ! When I scolded, Huang Ba was terrified, slipped down from the tree, rubbed his belly, and said, "You can also scold people?" I said: I still want to fight! Huang Ba said: You are also being wronged outside, right? I said: what? ! One sentence choked me, Huang Ba was not Wu Fu after all, he lit my acupuncture points.Come on, Huang Ba, I suddenly became more angry than before, and said: What wronged me?Um, am I you and Wu Fu?Let me tell you, the person who wronged me has not yet been born!If you don't steal what the wolf doesn't eat, you will be wronged! Huang Ba said: I have been wronged, today my title was confiscated, folded, I fucked his mother, I was falsely claiming to deceive people, who is not falsely claiming to deceive others, no one in this city has done it Fake people?The dog day broke my scale!Am I a fool, I am popular outside, and the bird is also angry with me when I come back, and it will shit on my head. If I don’t poke the bird’s nest, who will I poke? I said: I'm training you, you still don't accept it? Huang Ba said: Take it. I said: Is this the attitude? Huang Ba said: I'll be fine as soon as I say it. I sat back in the house and watched Huang Ba climb up the tree to resettle his nest, and felt that I was a bit domineering.But I won't apologize to him. I look forward to Wu Fu's return, and it would be great if Wu Fu came back.
