Chapter 23 Chapter 4 Empty House

Toon Tree Street is so short, he drove up and down in his van, passing Baorun's house many times.Passing by during the day, he always speeds up, rushing past the eyes of the crowd in the fashion store, but at night he slows down, taking advantage of the rare silence, to look at Baorun's home, just to look at, not to observe, nor to think about others by seeing things But what he was thinking about was actually a tree.The neon lights of the fashion store shone on the dilapidated roof, and every time he noticed that mulberry tree, a mulberry tree, was growing upright on the roof of Baorun's house.I don't know which bird brought the mulberry, and found fertile soil on this quiet roof. After a few years, the mulberry tree is half the height of a person, and it grows lush branches and leaves.

Several children once climbed onto the roof of Baorun’s house to pick mulberry leaves, but were scolded by Mrs. Ma from the boutique.Mrs. Ma said that if she hadn't been watching, the mulberry tree on the roof would have been pulled out to feed the silkworm babies. Not only was the child naughty, but some neighbors with a dark conscience might also have the heart to go to the house.Anyone has the opportunity to climb up to the roof of Baorun's house, because there is no one under that roof. Borun's father went to heaven.He died of the third stroke. It is said that he was going to get a slipper before he died. The slipper was only put on one foot, and he left first.It was too late to say his last words, and the deceased left unwillingly, so his remains looked strange and scary. He looked furious, his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets, and they couldn't be wiped away. His mouth was wide open, maintaining a shouting mouth shape.Su Baozhen was afraid of scaring others, so she tied a strap on her husband's face covering, like a mask tied behind her head, and no one dared to untie the mask. legacy.

It was the quietest funeral in the history of Toon Tree Street, no one was crying, and the coffin was dodgyly parked in the dark place.If it wasn't for the closing of the fashion store, passers-by would not even notice the white note on the door of Baorun's house, saying no condolences.The residents all know that a refusal is a refusal, a condolence is a condolence, and what should go is still going.On behalf of Liu Sheng's family, Shao Lanying went to mourn with a wreath in her arms. She first stood at the door to test the owner's reaction. Seeing that Su Baozhen had no objection, Shao Lanying went in.As soon as she entered, she was surprised to find that Su Baozhen's expression was dull, her temples were covered with ointment, and she stood by the side of the deceased, burying her head in peeling sunflower seeds.This is a very inappropriate performance, and she, Mrs. Ma and others whispered about it.Su Baozhen noticed the neighbor's comments, and she said, don't look at me like this, I can't cry anymore, my tears have dried up, and I can't squeeze out a drop.He held up a melon seed to the crowd. This melon seed was peeled by the roasted seeds and nuts factory, not for me to eat. The doctor said that my blood pressure was too high and it was very dangerous. Do something with my hands, one is to prevent stroke, and the other is to make some money , if I also have a stroke, who will give him a funeral?

Baorun didn't come back, everyone can understand that going to a funeral also requires qualifications, and he doesn't have the qualifications.Another relative is my grandfather.Does grandfather qualify?This is a debatable question.Neighbors generally believed that no matter what kind of father and son they were, they had to see each other for the last time, and Su Baozhen should take his grandfather home.Someone urged Mrs. Ma to be a lobbyist, but Mrs. Ma refused straight away. I don't know if she really cared for Su Baozhen, or if she was afraid that her grandfather would hurt her when her grandfather came back. Mrs. Ma said, she will not accept the crazy old man, and I will make the decision for her.Don't come here to make trouble, how can I not understand the old etiquette?Everything has to be done realistically. There are four people in this family. One went crazy, one was imprisoned, and one died. Baozhen is the only one left. Old Li doesn't matter, her body is the most important thing.

After the funeral, Su Baozhen was taken to the provincial capital by her sister.She had been married to Toon Tree Street for decades, and was a wife and mother. In the end, she relied on her natal relatives to return her a warm embrace.Before leaving, Su Baozhen renewed the lease of the house, and the rent did not rise but fell, but there was an additional condition that the Ma family was responsible for taking care of the house.She said to Mrs. Ma, I have never enjoyed a day of happiness when I married into the Yang family. I never imagined that after a lifetime of suffering in the Yang family, I still have to rely on my younger sister. My younger sister is blessed. I lived with my sister to see what happiness looks like.Mrs. Ma didn't know whether the woman's heart was chilled or her heart was hardened. She probed, no matter how good a sister is, how can she compare to her son?The son will come back sooner or later, this is your home after all, if you say throw it away, just throw it away?Su Baozhen sighed, patted her knee and said, what son?Just a debt collector.This place is no longer a home, it is a tomb.Do you know why I'm half dead?They are all haunted by ghosts, and I can’t sleep well every night. A lot of ghosts from his ancestors jump out from here and there, and they are all arguing around me. Where are people?What about people?What about their people?Generations of ghosts have come to ask for someone from me, as if I murdered his family's descendants.Mrs. Ma was terrified when she heard that, and looked around, saying, if you leave, will their ancestors come to ask for someone from me?Su Baozhen thought about it for a while, and comforted her in turn. The ghost is also reasonable. You are a tenant, not his wife, so how could you ask for someone?

Later Mrs. Ma asked her about Baorun's situation, saying that the three bullies on the east side of the street had been released from prison early and went to work as a ticket seller at the train station, and the pig's head in the mulberry garden had also commuted his sentence and returned home, repairing bicycles for others on the bridge. Jia Baorun, is there any hope of commuting his sentence and getting out of prison?Su Baozhen lowered her head dejectedly. I've been running several times, but I don't have much hope.It is said that it is useless for parents to run away, it mainly depends on the prisoner's performance inside, and his own children know it, how can Baorun perform well?How can he compare to the three tyrants, how can he compare to the pig's head?He is not likable wherever he goes, if people don't give him additional punishment, it will be considered cheap for him.

Su Baozhen handed over the keys of the house to Mrs. Ma, saying that people are not as good as heaven, and when Baorun comes home, she doesn't know if she is still alive, so she can only trouble you to keep these keys.This kind of parting words almost brought Mrs. Ma to tears. She noticed that the three bunches of keys were the same. The two bunches of Baorun and his father felt dirty and unlucky, so she picked them out and wanted to return them to Su Baozhen. .Su Baozhen waved her hand and said, Mrs. Ma, you take them all. I will not keep any keys to this house. To tell you the truth, Mrs. Ma, once I leave, I don’t plan to come back. It’s not because I’m cruel. Well, I also want to have a good day for a few days.

In this way, Mrs. Ma took care of Baorun's house.Master Ma's family has business acumen, and the sales of high-quality fashion are not smooth in Xiangchunshu Street. They have been planning to turn to business.In recent years, residents of Xiangchunshu Street no longer have to worry about food and clothing, and are generally afraid of death. How to live longer and how to maintain health has become the hottest topic on the street. Selling medicine and health care products to neighbors is undoubtedly a business that is more suitable for the people.The Ma family signed a franchise contract with a well-known chain pharmacy long ago. The store needs to be remodeled to make it bigger and stronger. The reason why it has been delayed is because of the health of the landlord's family, and they can't bear to disturb them.As soon as Su Baozhen left, the time had come. They let go of their hands and feet, and started building again.

The chain pharmacy is a chain, and the decoration must follow the instructions of others. Even the size of the storefront is chained. It can't be big or small. The storefront of the original fashion store facing the street is still tens of centimeters smaller than the standard. Therefore, The door of Baorun's house had to be given up again, and half of the original wooden door had to be cut in half.The decoration workers had already removed the door and the door frame, and Master Ma murmured in his heart, wondering if this would cause disputes in the future, he still had to try to find Su Baozhen and discuss it before cutting the door.Mrs. Ma thought he was long-winded, so she asked him to walk over the threshold and give it a try.She said, you are fatter than Baorun, if you can get over it, then Baorun will be able to get over it in the future.Master Ma walked over smoothly, his body matching the door frame just right.Mrs. Ma said, look, isn't it over?What is it?Everything has to be done realistically. There are so many expensive facades on the street. If you leave such a big door for Baorun, and he has no chance to leave, isn’t it a waste?

Liu Sheng seldom walked past Baorun's house on foot, and never stopped when he passed by, but there was one exception, when his mother sent him to the Ma's new pharmacy to buy stomach medicine for his father.He walked to the pharmacy, and was immediately attracted by the brand new billboard at the door.The billboard was like a large mobile screen, covering the doorway of Baorun's house.Smiling caucasian man showing black chest hair at shirt opening and smiling blonde woman with wet and sexy glow of flesh under bikini swimsuit sitting hugging on the beach by the sea doing nothing but look What did you just do.The text of the advertisement is mainly in English, which he can't understand, and the only few Chinese are red, which is particularly eye-catching: Gospel for men.Import Viagra.Exclusive distribution.He looked at the advertisement a few more times, and was noticed by Master Ma's eldest son. He gave Liu Sheng stomach medicine, and he was not in a hurry to collect the money for the medicine. He glanced around and threw a box of things from the counter. , Here comes the good stuff, try Viagra, go viagra!Imported goods from original factories are considered expensive by others, but you can afford them.

He couldn't resist the other party's enthusiasm and flattery, nor his own curiosity, so he paid for a box.Liu Sheng remembered very clearly that he was holding stomach medicine in his hand and stuffing the box of Viagra in his pocket, when he suddenly heard a desolate sound of wind whirling in Baorun's house next door.He probed to the back of the billboard to see that the usually dusty door of Baorun's house was half-closed, and a draft came out from the long alley, blowing the Western men and women on the billboard to tremble, and an old-fashioned car My permanent brand bicycle was leaning against the corner, and the rim of the wheel still shone with a cold halo.He recognized that it was the permanent brand bicycle that Baorun had ridden, and there was a neat circle of rope wrapped around the rear frame of the bicycle. Liu Sheng stood there stiffly, and saw a thick figure swaying beside the bicycle.It was Bao Run, eighteen years old, hiding in the shadow behind the door, condensed into another shadow, under the cover of time, waiting for time to fly by.Who is he waiting for?He vaguely saw eighteen-year-old Bao Run, with a new beard, muscular development, and knife-like eyes.He saw eighteen-year-old Bao Run, wearing a beige jacket that was popular in the old days, spinning a long rope in his hand, Bao Run said, come in, Liu Sheng, come in, let's have a good talk. He didn't dare to go in, but saw a figure coming out of the door, it was Mrs. Ma.Mrs. Ma wore a hat and a mask, held a bucket in one hand, and a feather duster in the other. She said that the furniture was rotten, the quilts were moldy, and the plaster was cracked. How could I clean up this house for her?He was about to leave in a hurry, but Mrs. Ma's feather duster patted him on the back, Liu Sheng, don't go, I have a few letters from Baorun, you take them to Jingting Hospital to his grandfather.He said, why not go back?The letter can be returned, what kind of letter does his grandfather still read?Mrs. Ma said, how can I return the letter?His grandfather is crazy, so he is also a relative after all, and relatives can receive letters.She took out a stack of letters from her bosom, pointed to the envelope and lamented, what a pity, my father has been dead for so long, and my son still doesn't know, look at the recipient, it still has his father's name written on it. Liu Sheng took those letters with him.Curious on the way, I secretly took it apart to have a look.Each of Baorun’s letters was only one page, and the naive handwriting was slightly different, some were more serious, some were more scribbled, and the content was almost the same, as if they had copied a sample.The beginning is my dear grandpa, father, mother, hello, the content is almost everything is fine here, please rest assured.The ending is even more similar, without exception, I hope you all take care of your health, sincerity and salute. He folded the envelope and stuffed it in his trousers pocket.Yours sincerely.Yours sincerely.He felt that those words had a row of tiny teeth, biting his thigh lightly.After being separated for many years, he and Baorun had a magical encounter through a few pages of damp letter paper.Baorun's unfamiliar handwriting retains body temperature, which slowly melts on the skin of Liu Sheng's thigh through the thick fabric of the jeans.Baorun's life was summed up in empty words, and the pocket of Liu Sheng's trousers turned out to be heavy.Liu Sheng felt a little pain in his thigh, and it was still a little hot, and there was a strange burnt smell faintly wafting from the depths of his pocket.He has often smelled this smell since autumn, and he doesn't know whether it comes from the dry season or from dry memories.Yours sincerely.Through Bao Run's family letter, he vaguely saw his own future, and a mysterious blue smoke rose from that future. A few days later, he went to visit his grandfather in Ward No. 9 and brought a letter from Baorun's family.Whether it was the result of impulsiveness or a calm countermeasure, he had a bold plan in his mind.He asked his grandfather, do you still remember Baorun's appearance?Grandpa said that he doesn't remember what he looks like now, but he only remembers what he looked like when he was a child.He asked his grandfather again, you only have one grandson left, do you want to visit him once?Grandpa said, it's useless to think about it, I can't even get out of the male ward, how can I go to see him in prison?Liu Sheng found out his grandfather's attitude and didn't say much.He took out the barber tools from his bag and began to cut his grandfather's hair and shave.Then he put on a cheap suit for his grandfather, looked at his grandfather and said, now he looks like a human being, and he can go to see his grandson, come with me, don't say anything, I will take you to see Baorun. He ignored the rules and regulations of Jingting Hospital and quietly stuffed his grandfather into the van.Grandfather got into a vegetable basket and successfully passed the three gates of Jingting Hospital.On the highway, he asked his grandfather to sit in the passenger seat and said, how about it?I mean enough to you, right?Grandfather looked around from the window, seeing the new scenery in his eyes, he sighed with joy, the face of the motherland is changing with each passing day, it is really changing with each passing day! The van drove to Fenglin Town, fifty kilometers away.After many years, the whole world has been refurbished. Fenglin Prison is still the same, with gray and white concrete walls stretching as far as the eye can see, and the strict power grid on the wall stretching as far as the eye can see. There is an additional observation tower on the east side. There are people shaking in the tower, and a tweeter hangs on the Under the lookout window, shining brightly, there are a few bold sparrows standing on the horn.There is a red propaganda slogan hanging from the top of the tower, attracting attention: Congratulations to Fenglin Prison for winning the title of Top Ten Civilized Prisons! He parked the van in a public parking lot and took out his briefcase to count the money.Grandpa watched him count the money, and helped him to count. Grandfather fainted after counting. He said, so much money, I can't even count it. Who are you going to give it to?He said, a greeting gift to Bo Run.Grandpa said, why do you give Borun so much money?Prisoners can't spend money, and the cadres will confiscate it. Why don't I keep it for Baorun.He pushed away his grandfather's hand and said with a smile, "Grandpa, it's not easy to spend money if he has money, and it's useless if you have money. Let me handle it myself." He underestimated his grandfather's IQ, but overestimated his grandfather's health.He helped his grandfather to the gate of the prison, just in time for the changing of the guards, and there was a short changing of the guard ceremony.The laid-off guards walked towards them with exaggerated strides, and the guards on duty pointed their shiny automatic rifles in their direction and made a gesture of aiming.This virtual shooting frightened the grandfather, and the grandfather screamed, shot!He shook off Liu Sheng's hand, and ran towards the van with his pants up.Liu Sheng didn't expect him to run so fast. As his grandfather ran all the way, an unknown liquid dripped from his trousers and dripped on the ground.He guessed it was pee, and Grandpa peed his pants, frightened by four automatic rifles. It was an unforeseen accident.Grandfather refused to get out of the car, no matter how Liu Sheng tried to persuade him, it was useless.He said, Grandpa, I'm here with you. If you don't go to see Baorun, isn't our trip in vain?For fifty miles, gasoline burns a lot of money.The grandfather calmed down and said, I don't care, I am the grandfather and he is the grandson, let him come to see me in the car.Liu Sheng said, Grandpa, you are confused, this is a prison, only you can go in, he can't come out.Grandpa said, then go alone, and ask for me, when will he come out?Give me another word, I will wait for him to come out to collect my body, when will he come out and when will I die, I will never be in this world again, and I will not cause trouble for everyone anymore. After weighing it up, he finally locked his grandfather in the car and went to the reception room by himself.There were a lot of visitors, and he filled out the form to register in the crowd, feeling a mess in his heart.When filling in the name, he hesitated. At first he wanted to fill in his own name, but he was a little timid for some reason, so he simply wrote the crazy old man's name, Yang Baoxuan, and also specifically indicated his identity, Grandpa. Then there is waiting.He sat on a bench in the reception room and observed the crowd around him.Through the ages of the visitors and the expressions on their faces, he tried to analyze the criminal records of the interviewees, who was involved in corruption, who committed violence, and who was indecent.There is a middle-aged couple standing in the corner, the man is smoking, the woman has been wiping tears, sad eyes full of traumatized motherhood, and resentment.He suddenly remembered the old woman he met that summer, and even remembered her relative's name, Li Baosheng.Li Baosheng was wronged.He stared straight at the woman, watching how her tears dripped out of her eyes and were wiped clean with a tissue.The middle-aged man was the first to notice his gaze, and said to his wife, don't cry, everyone is looking at you.Liu Sheng nodded to them and smiled. His special kindness caused the couple to misunderstand. The man approached him, walked around him, and suddenly asked, are you here to see my Zhang Liang?He didn't have time to react, the woman also came over, a cold hand stretched out and grabbed Liu Sheng, are you Zhang Liang's friend, are you Xiao Huang?Are you Xiao Huang or Xiao Ding?Why don't you prove to my Zhang Liang that he was wronged?He was startled and quickly waved his hands. I don't know Zhang Liang.I am neither Xiao Huang nor Xiao Ding.He hid in the corner, looked down at his knees, and muttered subconsciously, who was not wronged?I also have friends who are wronged. Finally it was his turn.He heard a prison guard's loud shout, Yang Baoxuan!Is Yang Baoxuan here?He quickly stood up and followed the prison guards to the corridor.The prison guard was very young, wearing a trendy and well-tailored gray uniform, the waist and hips were outlined, and the trouser legs were thin, making the legs appear thick.For some reason, his body shape reminded Liu Sheng of Bao Run, and the vague Bao Run in his memory became clearer. The eighteen-year-old Bao Run was so stout, and he didn't know what he had become now.The corridor is very long, and the slogans painted on the wall have been around for a long time.At the end of the corridor, an iron door can be seen, facing a large mirror.He saw his own shadow following the prison guards, fast and slow, more and more flustered, the reflection in the mirror made him feel an inexplicable fear, he took a step to the corner to avoid the reflection of the mirror, in this way, he His shadow suddenly disappeared from the mirror.The prison guard noticed his abnormal behavior and turned around to reprimand him, what's the matter with you?What are you hiding from?Do you want to go in or not?He stood by the wall without moving, with a trace of deep apology on his face, I am not hiding, what is there to hide?He said, sorry, I heard wrong, I am not Yang Baoxuan. He walked to the parking lot, a great void filling his heart.Grandpa fell asleep in the car, with his head tilted and a pool of saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.He sat in the driver's seat and lit a cigarette. The smell of the smoke woke up his grandfather. The grandfather asked, how is my Baorun?He thought about it, and told a lie, still the same, a little older and a little thinner.Grandpa said, when the hell is he coming out?He said, soon, come out when it's time, grandpa, don't worry, someone will collect the body for you anyway, if he doesn't collect it for you, I will collect it for you. He started the van and compared the two failed trips to Fenglin Prison in his mind, which one was more ridiculous?He didn't know, but his heart was full of regret.Looking up through the car window, the scene of Fenglin Town on the west side is a bit like a mirage. The once simple and deserted town is now full of tall buildings, and it has a little international atmosphere.An orange-red rubber arch stands beside the Fenglin Bridge, and a row of large characters on the arch is extremely eye-catching: Welcome to the hometown of mutton soup!He never knew that Fenglin Town was a town of mutton soup. Thinking of the travel bag that was stolen that year, he said angrily, isn't it a town of thieves? How did it become a town of mutton soup? I don’t know who’s holding a wedding in Fenglin Town, or maybe another mutton soup restaurant opened up. The sound of firecrackers and firecrackers can be heard endlessly, and the air trembles with joy. The wreckage of a firework flew hundreds of meters like a bird, and landed on the van on the top, and then tumbled to the ground.He got out of the car to check and found a hexagonal firework wreck, with the words Gong Xi Fa Cai still legible.Congratulations on getting rich?That's a good sign.He picked up the fireworks into the car and put them in front of the windshield.He asked his grandfather, grandpa, is the mutton soup in Fenglin Town really famous?Grandpa said, why is there no name?When I was young, I went to drink with my grandfather, and I went there in a car.He suddenly became interested in mutton soup, and asked his grandfather, do you want to go to Fenglin Town to have a bowl of mutton soup?Grandpa nodded and said, I want to drink, I just had a dream and drank a bowl of mutton soup. The old streets in Fenglin Town were demolished, the towering trees disappeared, and the former small stone streets were expanded into wide asphalt roads, with European-style black iron lampposts erected on the side of the road.Driving on the central street, every 100 meters, you will pass through an antique cement archway.There is a square in the center of the town, half of which is green artificial grass, and the other half is covered with red chemical fiber carpet. On the west side of the square, a huge building has risen from the ground, covering half of the sky in darkness.From the front, the building looks a bit like the White House in Washington, the capital of the United States, and from the side, it looks a bit like the skeleton of a temple. After studying it for a long time, Yagyu couldn't decide whether it was a White House or a temple. It is the most delicious season of mutton, and the smell of mutton soup is wafting in the air of Fenglin Town.The mutton soup restaurants all over the street are advertised as century-old brands. The awards and plaques inlaid at the door are all very famous. Some are national-level, some are Asian-level, and one is a designated restaurant of the International Mutton Soup Association.Liu Sheng couldn't tell the truth from the fake, so based on his experience, he led his grandfather into the one with the most customers. Grandfather's appetite was amazing, and he drank three bowls of mutton soup in one go.At first he encouraged his grandfather to let go of his stomach to drink, but later he asked the store to take away his bowl for fear of disaster.He opened his briefcase to pay, and took out the box of Viagra at once. He buried his face in the briefcase and looked at it for a long time, feeling quite sentimental.In his haste these days, he almost forgot about this expensive novelty in his bag, how mysterious it is, how effective it is, so far unproven.He observed with cold eyes that in addition to the mutton soup restaurant in Fenglin Town, there are shampoo rooms, foot bath shops, and sauna centers everywhere. He has a keen sense of entertainment and leisure. Such a small town is often a paradise for buying sex.The hot mutton soup stimulated some kind of heat energy in his body. He looked at his grandfather across from him and kept shaking his head.Grandpa said, why do you keep shaking your head at me?You only need money to add mutton, but you don’t need money to add soup. Why don’t you drink it?Grandpa didn't know his secret thoughts, how much he wanted to eat a Viagra now, to experience the taste of the legendary fairy, such a good time, but there was a grandfather standing in the way, so he had to persuade himself in his heart, forget it, take the medicine. It won't expire yet, let's talk about it next time. A hair washing room diagonally opposite the mutton restaurant was lit up with pink lights early on. A young girl was sitting at the door, cross-stitching cross-stitching.She is wearing a purple low-cut woolen sweater and black leather pants. Her figure is not very hot, but the deep cleavage at the neckline is very dazzling.They were about to pass the shampoo room when the girl's toes suddenly circled towards Liu Sheng. Liu Sheng noticed the circle and squinted his eyes to identify it, making sure that her feet were talking.One of her feet was wearing silk stockings, and the other was bare. He was sure that the naked foot, which was painted with Kodan, whispered to him. He couldn't walk for a while, he struggled in his head, and he still felt itchy, so he pulled his grandfather to the wall to ask for advice, Grandpa, you got a haircut today, and there is a lot of dregs on your head, how about we go to this shop to wash your hair ?Grandpa glanced at the door of the shampoo room, and said, you need to collect money, right?You can wash your hair by yourself, so why pay someone else to do it?He winked at his grandfather, saying that it is more comfortable for others to wash than himself, and you will not know if you don't wash, you will know after washing.Grandpa said, you treat me like a wild dog?It's not that I haven't let others wash my hair before. Mr. Bai from the barber shop on Xiangchunshu Street has washed my hair for fifty years.Liu Sheng chuckled, what do you call washing your hair?The lady here washes for you, which is much more comfortable than Master Bai, you will know when you go in.He almost forcibly dragged his grandfather to the door of the shampoo room, put one hand on the young girl's shoulder, squeezed it, patted it again, stop embroidering, here comes a guest! The girl glanced up at them, suddenly became reserved, lowered her head and said, go talk to the proprietress first.The proprietress has already stood up from the sofa, throwing two equal winks at the old and the young at the door. I have never met such a filial grandson. Bring grandpa to wash his hair?How are you going to wash, old and young? Liu Sheng broke into the store with his grandfather in his arms, and looked around upstairs and downstairs. He knew what he was doing, and pushed his grandfather on a swivel chair. Isn't that easy?Wash separately.He beckoned to the proprietress, come and wash my grandpa, it will be done downstairs, dry cleaning and massage, and the embroidery lady will give it to me, I want to be quiet, let's go upstairs to wash. The girl outside put aside her cross-stitch work and came in, folded her arms, and gave Liu Sheng a weary smile, Boss Zhang, how is business doing recently?Liu Sheng guessed that she had identified the wrong person, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer. She turned around and walked upstairs, asking, old trick?Liu Sheng thought for a while, then smiled, old tricks are boring, right?How about some new tricks?He followed her, and just as he reached the bend of the stairs, there was a commotion at the grandfather's side, come back, Yagyu!Where are you going, Yagyu?Why wash your hair separately when you wash your hair together?Liu Sheng said, "Grandpa, don't make noise. I'll be upstairs. This elder sister will accompany you. If you have any requests, just ask her. You enjoy and I pay the bill, isn't it good?"Grandpa said, "If you go upstairs, I will go upstairs too. Why do you let me downstairs alone?"What kind of conspiracy are you trying to do?He couldn't explain anything to his grandfather, so he pointed at the proprietress and said, why are you so stupid, proprietress?Hurry up and get rid of my grandpa, wash his hair quickly, wash it!The proprietress poured shampoo on the grandfather's head in a hurry, and the grandfather screamed and shook his head, what are you doing?What did you pour on my head?The proprietress also yelled, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I spilled the shampoo and got it in my eyes, which planet did this old man come from?How do you want me to serve him?Liu Sheng said that he came from the earth, but he has never been in a shampoo room, and he doesn't know how to dry clean. You should give him a massage first, and press it a few times. If you press it well, he will be honest?The proprietress obeyed Liu Sheng's command, and hurriedly put her hand on the grandfather's neck, rubbed it a few times, and the grandfather jumped up. You are a woman, how did you touch me?The grandfather was full of panic, with a pile of shampoo foam on his head, ran to the door, and shouted to Liu Sheng, "Yu Sheng, run, this place is unhealthy, it's going to break the law!" He rushed over in a few steps and grabbed his grandfather. Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, this place was only opened for health.They are all my friends, I want to discuss some business with that lady, you wash your hair when I talk about business, you wash your hair when I talk about business, and we will go back.Grandfather was still stubborn, he held the aluminum alloy sliding door tenaciously with one hand, sprayed the saliva on Liu Sheng's face, I said unhealthy is unhealthy, Liu Sheng, listen to my advice, you will break the law if you stay here. If you don't want to go, let me go.Liu Sheng finally got angry, his eyes lit up, he waved his hand, and said to the proprietress, "Rope, find a rope!" Although the proprietress didn't understand what it meant, she dutifully found a loop of rope.Liu Sheng pressed his grandfather on the chair, raised the end of the rope and patted him on the shoulder. Just one pat, the old man felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and his body stiffened immediately. I want a democratic knot.He only said this sentence, and then he was quiet.Liu Sheng's rope went back and forth on the grandfather's body, and after a few hasty rounds, the grandfather was firmly tied to the chair.The proprietress's eyes widened at the side, seeing the calmness of the tied man and the obedience of the bound one, she couldn't help screaming, boss, where did you come from?I've been in this business for many years, and I've seen a lot of weirdos. I've never seen anyone like your grandpa. Could he be mentally ill?Liu Sheng said with a stern face, what kind of mental illness?He understands everything, he just needs to be tied up, and it will be normal if he is tied up.He checked the knots on his grandfather's body, brushed the dust off his shoulders, and said, Ma'am, go and turn on the TV to see if there are any cartoons?If he wants to wash his hair, he can wash his hair, if he wants to massage, he can massage, if he doesn't want to, he can pull it down and let him watch cartoons here. The girl stood on the stairs all the time, witnessing this good scene in the store, her expression changed from surprise to joy, oh, I'm going to die, oh, I laughed so hard.The occasional exclamation can be understood as sympathy for her grandfather, but Borun is her guest, and her position is obviously biased towards the guest.She waited patiently, saw that the bound grandfather was settled, and asked, boss, are you ready?Liu Sheng shook his hand and said, all right, just tie him up. The upstairs is empty, and there is a strong musty smell in the stagnant air, mixed with the taste of Master Kong's instant noodles.A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy was sitting on a cardboard box, immersing himself in playing a game console. When he saw Liu Sheng, the boy showed a bright smile like a girl. Big brother is here?He stopped alertly, who is this?The girl noticed Liu Sheng's astonishment and said, it's all right, don't worry, he is my younger brother. She dragged Liu Sheng to a mirror to touch up his makeup. There was no room around, and Liu Sheng was wondering. The girl clapped her hands to the big mirror and said, Open Sesame.With a push of the hand, the mirror opened with a creak, and there was a secret room inside, which looked dark.The girl turned on the light and said, come in, it's very safe inside. His legs went in, but his body refused to go in, and he looked outside. The boy was still sitting on the cardboard box, playing the game intently. The fluorescent light of the game console shone on his childish face. Liu Sheng reminded her that your brother was still outside.The girl said, I know he is outside, he has nowhere to go.He said, are you his own sister?She nodded, it's her sister, what's the matter?I don't know if she is pretending to be stupid on purpose, or if there is something tricky, he asked straight to the point, you are doing services inside, and let him play game consoles outside?Are you siblings not awkward?She understood what he meant, curled her lips and said, who doesn't feel awkward making money?If you want to make money, who cares about being awkward?Then she leaned close to Liu Sheng's ear and whispered a secret to him. My younger brother came out of the country last year, and he also worked in this line of work to serve men.How can a man serve a man?Throw me to death!It was I who pulled him out of the bathhouse, and now he follows me as my security guard. Liu Sheng was speechless for a while.The mirror is closed.The girl put a gauze scarf on the lamp, and the dark room immediately became faint violet.Looking closely at the girl, her appearance is actually mediocre, her eyes are stagnant, her face is covered with a lot of powder, her sex appeal and her frankness seem to have been whitewashed by sophistication.He smelled a familiar indescribable smell, the smell of the bed, the smell of the flesh, the smell left by other men, including his own smell.There was a large wardrobe blocked by the wall. He opened the door cautiously, knocked and felt it, and checked it.The girl said, don't worry, there is nothing in the cabinet. This place has just opened, and no one has learned the tricks.Still worried, he fished under a pile of quilts, picked up a magazine, picked it up and read it, it was "Sixteen Ways to Get Rich Quickly", he said seriously, good book, you know fifteen One channel is enough, the best channel, don't you all master it? He is a frequent visitor to the shampoo room.The service procedures here implement a unified standard, and he understands this process.The process is the same, but the hands, lips, and bodies of the girls are all fresh, and it is this freshness that he is obsessed with.Lying on the crumpled, wet little bed, he caught a glimpse of a bottle of mineral water on the bedside table, immediately remembered the box of Viagra in his briefcase, reached into the briefcase, and asked casually, what's your name?The girl said, number three.He said, I didn't ask for your number, but what is your name?The girl pursed her lips and smiled, "Boss, are you asking for your name now?"My name is Fairy.Just call me a fairy. He was surprised, what do you mean?He sat up and stared at her face, what the hell do you mean?What kind of fairy are you?Which way are you a fairy? Why did the boss make such a fuss?I am a fairy.The girl felt aggrieved and said that everyone in Fenglin Town calls us fairies, and those in our profession are all fairies, so calling fairies should be more polite, you can’t call us whores, right? 他不知说什么好，只是觉得扫兴，深深地叹了口气，躺下去了，说，叫妓女当然不好，不过仙女也不能随便乱叫吧？我不怕妓女，就怕仙女。他指着自己的短裤，半真半假地说，它也怕仙女，你看你看，你说你是仙女，吓得它都降半旗，向你志哀了。 矿泉水瓶盖拧开了，那颗小小的药片已经捏在手上了，他隐隐地觉得不安，不知是对药品不放心，还是对这个仙女不放心，或者是对自己不放心，他把药片又塞回了公文包。姑娘注意到他的动作，问，老板你吃什么药？他开了个无趣的玩笑，速效救心丸，遇到你这样的仙女，我的心脏受不了。然后暗室外面响起了嘈杂的声音，楼梯上有人噔噔地奔走，他吓了一跳，谁来了？公安吗？姑娘贴着暗门听了听，示意他放轻松，不是公安，是你爷爷，你肯定没绑紧他，他找到楼上来了。他贴到暗门上听，听见祖父高声喊着他的名字，他皱起眉头嘀咕，绑得很仔细啊，那么紧的绳结，他怎么松开的？镜子外面传来了老板娘尖利的叫嚷，椅子，小心椅子！今天真是撞了鬼，老爷爷你别到处乱跑，摔了跟斗我要负责的！老爷爷你跟我说实话，你到底是从哪儿来的？是不是从精神病院跑出来的？那个男孩在外面开心地大笑，替祖父回答道，肯定是从杂技团来的，身怀绝技，你看这老头子，绑着把椅子还能上楼呢。 他一下兴味索然，在姑娘身上胡乱地抓了几把，穿好衣服走出了密室。外面的祖父已经急得满头大汗，那把椅子还绑在他的背上，但是方向竟然被调整过来了，祖父与椅子背靠背，看上去像一对苍老的连体兄弟。柳生在火头上，粗暴地拽住那把椅子，一边往楼下走，一边厉声数落祖父，你好大的本事，绑着椅子还能乱跑？哪天把你绑在汽车上，看你能不能背着汽车跑？我算是服了你，以后再带你出来，我就是国际大傻逼。 外面天色已经昏暗，门口的灯箱放射出粉红色的光，鲜艳得令人心慌。他拉着祖父的手，回头朝店堂一看，那姑娘站在楼梯上，已经磕起了瓜子，脸上表情漠然。倒是那个男孩跟出来，悄悄塞给柳生一张粉红色的名片。大哥，欢迎下次光临。男孩赔着笑脸说，大哥要是过来不方便，可以电话预约，我们提供上门服务。
