Chapter 41 Chapter Forty-One

Standing in Duxiangting tea house and looking west, the scenery is still the same. The stone road cuts the city, and there are evergreen shadows of pines and cypresses on both sides of the road. Brand-new but old smoke rises from houses and buildings. The river in the distance is forever It is white and foggy. This is the world my father once owned. The world that had thrilled my father. Looking east, it is Ma Erye's territory. There were the earliest miracles on Ma Erye's site. According to the testimony of many old people in sedan chairs, Ma Erye was indeed young. At that time, Erye Ma worked as a yamen servant in the government yamen, and he carried sedan chairs for the prefects. family, and set up their own sedan chair shop.Although Ma Erye's sedan chair shop is not the earliest, it is the best.

When Ma Erye was alive, he once stood on the Duxiang Pavilion teahouse and pointed it out to Bu Shouru, saying that there was a ruined temple beside Tongyi Avenue under the east gate of the city, and that was where he started his family. Today, the ruined temple is no longer visible. Instead, there is a barracks. The battalion turned into an artillery regiment again, and the muzzles of the cannons pointed directly at the outside of the city, ready to smash Brigadier Commander Wang and Tuan Commander Qian's delusion of attacking the city at any time. Due to the experience of war, the east city is far less prosperous than the west. Even the five-color national flag floating over the guarding mission in the east cannot restore that prosperous history.On the most famous old street in Dongcheng, the soldiers' hooves and footsteps sounded from morning to night, and the dust was flying high... However, this is no longer an important matter. The Chu, River and Han borders of Dao have been broken. Wherever the business is good, you can do business there. The distinction between the east city and the west city is meaningless.

The fact that it existed can only become the talk of people after drinking and tea. Bu Shouru believes that the history of men's domination of Shicheng's sedan chair industry is not completely over until Ma Wuye is killed by Tianci, and she has truly established her position as a city's sedan chair owner.In addition to Liu Zhenshou, her son helped her win this position. This is probably life. She, Bu Shouru, was destined to eat all the sorrows of the world, but she was also destined to support the world of the Shicheng sedan industry. Whenever standing on the teahouse in Duxiangting, Bu Shouru would always talk to Tianci about the Second Master Ma and Uncle Bu...the Fifth Master Ma...Of course, there was also her back then: an eight-year-old girl sitting He entered the city in a small sedan chair, and ran barefoot on the stone ground in the city all day... Bu Shouru said: "God-given, God-given, you were born in the city. You don't know the benefits of the stone road. Mother knows." Miles! My mother was in the country before she was eight years old. The roads in the country were full of mud when it rained. The mud on her shoes was as heavy as a weight. If you brought the mud on your feet into the house, your grandma would still scold, "Damn girl, it's raining." Go wild!'..."

Tianci just listened and didn't interrupt much. Bu Shouru recalled his father again, and recalled: "You have a hard life, you don't have a good father, and you don't have a mother. Mother's father is also a wolf! He asked your eighteen-year-old mother to go to Ma's house to be a child for the sake of the sedan chair." You're so girly, I don't agree with you, but what can I do? You can't just let them manipulate you, you have to fight with them!" Tianci didn't understand these things, and stared at Bu Shouru in a daze. Bu Shouru said again: "Tianci, you have to understand mother's heart. No matter what mother did in the past or today, it is for you in the final analysis. Your grandfather is not good, but he has a few words that are good. He said to mother, we are in this stone city. The stone road is paved with gold. As long as the stones on this road are not lifted for a day, as long as our sedan chair can walk for a day, we will have no worries. You have to remember this, and you will take it from your mother in the future. We can’t let others snatch this deal from us!” Tianci looked at Ma Shidao indifferently, and said, “I hate the Ma Shidao in the city, and... I also hate these sedan chairs! I don’t want it!”

Bu Shouru was very sad: "Heavenly gift, heavenly gift, what do you want? What else can mother give you?" Tianci stopped talking. Tianci was fourteen that year. For the past two years, Bu Shouru has been trying to bring Tianci back from the dead Second Master Ma. After her daughter Tianhong was born, Bu Shouru immediately sent her to Liu Zhenshou to be raised by her nanny, fearing that Tianci would feel uncomfortable watching her, and also afraid that Tianci would harm her own sister. After he really became the owner of the sedan chair in Yicheng, Bu Shouru also looked down on the sedan chair. He seldom took care of the sedan chair business, and only cared about Tianci. All he dreamed of was to dispel his son's hatred for him.

But the son always hides from her, and he can't hide from her. He just listens to her and refuses to treat her as his own mother from the bottom of his heart. Bu Shouru felt that she and Tianci were just like himself and his father back then, and this was probably predestined. However, until Tianci left, Bu Shouru wanted to be a good mother wholeheartedly. She didn't hate Tianci at all, but only herself. Bu Shouru always thought that if she had eloped with Brother Ba back then, the three blood debts would have been wiped out, and she would not have faced a son like a little wolf.

She also thought, if Tianci belonged to Brother Ba, even if there were three blood debts, she wouldn't be afraid, it would be worth it, and she would have a good son. A good son counteracts everything.The son ran away. It was a run on a winter afternoon. Bu Shouru will never forget what happened that day. It was a dry and cold day, the north wind was howling, the riverside and the stone road in the city were icy, and everything was slippery.But the sun was very good, a dense white cloud was hanging in the sky, and everywhere in the city was bright. Bu Shouru went out early in the morning and went to the Duxiangting teahouse to settle the matter. Two gangs, Yu Baobao on the pier and Mr. Qu from the coffin shop, got into a fight yesterday, and someone died. Bu Shouru couldn't refuse to seek justice from Aunt Bu's grandmother.

After Ma Wuye died, all the brothers from Bangmen returned to Bu Shouru's sect. During this period, although there were a few brats who didn't know the severity, they made troubles, but in the end they didn't make a big name. In the end, they were either subdued by Grandma Bu, or subdued by Grandma Bu and Liu Zhenshou together. It was about ten o'clock when we arrived at the Duxiangting teahouse. Bu Shouru remembered clearly that after noon when the business was over, he had a drink at the nearby "Daguan restaurant". Yu Baobao was the one who invited the wine, and it was Bu Shouru who decided to invite him, in order to apologize to Boss Qu.

That day, because of the obedience of Yu Baobao and Boss Qu, and because of the cold weather, Bu Shouru ate a few more cups, and didn't go home until the evening when the sky was dim. At first, Bu Shouru didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, thinking that Tianci had gone to play with his two old sisters' house again. Ma Erye had two daughters, both of whom were older than Bu Shouru. , one lives in Chengdong Old Street, and the other lives in Zhuangyuan Hutong. Immediately sent people to look for it, but the two families couldn't find it, so Bu Shouru became anxious and sent a message to all the brothers in the whole city to search the whole city overnight.

After checking until the next morning, there was no sign of Tianci. At dawn, Bu Shouru went to the guarding envoy again, and asked Liu the guarding envoy to help find someone. The envoy Liu Zhenshou agreed, and sent his pistol team to the street. He also drew a portrait of Tianci and posted it all over the street. After three days of tossing around, he found nothing. During these three days, Bu Shouru didn't touch the bed, and his head didn't fall into a pillow. He sat in a sedan chair day and night and walked around the city, walking all over the streets and alleys of the city. .

Always missing, Bu Shouru thought that Tianci would be killed by others, and kept wondering who would kill him?Is it about yourself? Naturally, I also thought of kidnapping, but it was quickly rejected, and I didn't feel like it.If it was really kidnapping, there would have been posts about ransom. On the fourth day, Bu Shouru finally fell ill, and when he was lying on the bed, he realized that there was a note written by Tianci under his pillow, with only a few words on it: "Mother, I'm leaving. I hate you. I hate your sedan chair. If you don’t leave, I will burn your sedan chair and kill you. I didn’t want to kill you so I left, don’t look for me, as long as you live, I won’t come back.” Bu Shouru looked at the note, and then admitted all his failures in Tianci's win-win. First, he cried silently, and let two lines of tears flow down his handsome cheeks to the jacket and the ground, and then burst into bursts of wild laughter. Third Master Qiu and the servants in his family were all in fear.
