Chapter 45 Section Fourteen

Gu Tiancheng and Lu Maolinzhi met at the tea shop, greeted each other, and sat together to drink tea. The first time did not mean much, but both of them were countrymen among the crowd, and both had a bit of wandering feeling. You just need to find someone you know to talk about.And it's especially good, because the two people don't know each other's history. Lu Maolin talked with others, and in less than ten sentences, he would talk about Liu Sanjin.This has aroused Gu Tiancheng's sympathy for him.Both of them loved her and suffered from her, and now they both hate this person in their hearts.Therefore, the two people's conversation styles are very agreeable, and what they talk about can understand each other.Let's talk about Liu Sanjin's advantages first, good looks, active, enchanting, white and thin skin all over his body, and even the work on that matter.After talking about her ruthlessness, only knowing money, and her vicious behavior, Gu Tiancheng couldn't help but patted the table and said: "Brother Lu, do you know that I only spent those few days on her?" How much is the money? Just because she promised me that she would go back with me regardless of my housework, so I don’t care if I lose money again. Then I know she lost me like that later!” Although his voice It's very high, but the voice of people drinking tea and chatting is generally high, and the people who talk in the tea shop are generally a little bit like no one else, as if the tea shop is the secret room of their own home. No matter how impassioned you say, it is very It is a habit that few people pay attention to you.

Lu Maolin slapped his arm to tell him to pay attention, which is also the way to talk in a tea shop.Gu Tianguo paid attention, and then he squinted his eyes and said: "I'm afraid you are still in the dark? I am a bystander, and I told you, you can't tell others!... You don't know yet, Liu Sanjin came Luo Waizui, Zhang Zhankui and the others instigated you to win over you. They probably knew that you liked women, so they asked Liu Sanjin to pester you on purpose so that they could be your hands and feet. Your thousands of silver are really on the treasure. I lost the bet!..." Gu Tiancheng was really excited and said: "I honestly didn't think of this. Although I have quarreled like this before, I only hate that they not only don't help me, but also treat me like this. Get away, hit me!...Brother Lu, please tell me in detail!"

Lu Maolin seemed regretful that he shouldn't reveal other people's secrets, and also seemed to have a very different relationship with Gu Tiancheng, so he had to tell him the secrets, so he hesitated to tell what he knew, and what he heard from Liu Sanjin. He came, according to the conversation habits of ordinary people, added a lot of infuriating words, and told him vividly. Gu Tiancheng couldn't hold it back any longer, he gritted his teeth and said, "Oh! Do you still treat me like this? Yes, yes, yes! Luo Waizui, you are right! Just wait! I don't want yours!" Damn it, my surname is no longer Gu!..."

Lu Maolin quickly shook his hand at him and said: "Master Sangong, be careful, these people are cruel, they can do what they say, don't let them hear it!" He squinted his eyes and said: "Are you afraid of them? You are afraid, but I am not! Do you know who I am now? Tell you, I have been taught!" "! Are you a foreign religion?" He hurriedly squinted his eyes and looked around before saying, "Master Sangong, I'm doing it for your own good. Isn't there a Boxer riot going on right now? I heard with my own ears that Luo Waizui and the others were discussing Take advantage of this time, attack the church and kill the believers. You are his enemy again, if he knows that you have also become a believer..."

Sure enough, Gu Tianguo became a little timid, so he lowered his head, not as brave as before.However, he still refused to show weakness, so he said: "Brother Lu, don't worry, the words about beating the church are probably nonsense. The foreigners have said that the foreign soldiers are about to invade Beijing. As long as Emperor Guangxu is caught, ten thousand The eight provinces are all theirs, the Taiwan-making in Sichuan must be done by Shi Yang, and we are all taught by officials, as long as I become an official, look, are you afraid of talking to them?" Lu Maolin also happily said: "Do you know if the words of foreigners are reliable?"

"You can't be trusted? He even swore in front of the Bodhisattva!" He patted his arm again and said: "Then, Lord Sangong, your revenge will definitely be avenged. We will have a good relationship, and I only ask you for one thing!" Then he stood up and said: "It's still a long story Well, let's find a restaurant to eat, and then go to the smokehouse to talk about it!" Gu Tiancheng also stood up and said: "Aren't you going back to heaven and town? It's already mid-afternoon now!" "Go back to the sky and back to the town?... I haven't told you yet, I'm having sex in front of my eyes. I can't go back until you become an official. That's what I beg you for."

It's not easy to talk on the street, and it's not easy to talk in restaurants. Even in smokehouses, although there are people on every bed, but leaning on the pillows, as long as the voice is lowered a little, it is the best place to talk about important matters. Lu Maolin first talked about the reason for his miscarriage, and he couldn't help sighing: "It's only because of my bad luck! I met a Liu Sanjin, a ruthless bitch! I met a sister-in-law Cai, but she was affectionate and righteous, but she fell in love again. Luo crooked his mouth and stopped!..." "What kind of person is Mrs. Cai?"

"Haha! You don't even recognize Mrs. Cai! She is our Tianhui town's noodle dish. Seriously speaking, it's not just the Tianhui town's noodle dish? I'm afraid it will surpass some people in Chengdu province." ...Oh! No wonder you don't recognize her, you spent the past few days hanging out with Liu Sanjin, and never left the Yunji Inn." "Compared to Liu Sanjin?" "That's comparable!... When I married Cai Xingshun, it was already confusing. Two years later, I gave birth to a baby, and it looks even better than before!...The one who doesn't want her? But because of Luo's crooked expression Sister-in-law, he was pretending to be serious at that time, and he used words to block everyone... But that woman was also well-behaved... I don't know what time of the year, maybe after Liu Sanjin left, Luo Waizui actually met with him She has a hookup, everyone in the audience doesn't know!... That woman has also changed a lot, she is no longer as rigid as before, she is so affectionate when she meets people!...Just like me..."

Gu Tiancheng suddenly realized: "Speaking of which, I have seen this person before. Yes, he looks very good! His two eyes are like shooting stars, his body is also taller than Liu Sanjin, and he has a neck..." "Did you see it there?" Gu Tiancheng then told the story of the eleventh night of the first lunar month, talking about the loss of recruiting his younger brother, talking about his own illness, and then talking about why he was taught.Lu Maolin highly praised his teaching. On the one hand, he allowed all parties to ask someone to find a younger brother for him. He said: "Don't worry, she is always in Chengdu. Just ask one person on each street and ask her from house to house. I can always ask." Then he said what he asked for: "I don't want to be an official, and I can't be an official. If you really become an official, I just ask you to punish Luo Waizui and others. Finally, let me go to the township appointment to go back to town that day."

Gu Tiancheng picked up the cigarette stick and said with a smile: "Is it so that you can get Mrs. Cai? You don't think of her man, are you willing to let you occupy his wife?" Lu Maolin also smiled and said: "Now, isn't his wife already taken over by someone? She is an honest person, easy to fight. Okay, like Luo Waizui's method, let him be a husband in name. Not good, Kick it away, even the shop, even the baby, swallowed it all, how dare he do it?" The Wenjiang linen curtain in front of the smoke hall suddenly lifted, and three people entered.They were all fanning with black paper folding fans. They were all young people, dressed and looked like masters and apprentices at the silk shop on Banbian Street East Street.As soon as he came in, someone said loudly: "I don't even want to believe that the foreign devils will win the war!..."

Everyone in the smokehouse raised their heads. Another young man put the blue linen gown on his arm on the cigarette shop, sat down himself, looked at the man who spoke, and said, "Don't you believe it? Didn't Master Hong make it clear that tens of thousands of yang Soldiers surrounded Dong Junmen in some place in Beijing, is it completely impenetrable?" A smoker who came earlier sat up and said, "Brother, I'm afraid this is unreliable? What kind of person is Dong Junmen? Like our Sichuan Lord Bao, he fought desperately. Foreign soldiers OK?" "I don't know about this. It's just that the old patron of our account, Mr. Hong Er, is the master of the Fantai Yamen. He said on our account just now that the foreign soldiers invaded the city of Beijing, and Dong Junmen was defeated." The young man who had spoken before shouted again in a petty official tone: "I just don't believe what he said! You know that? He only speaks bad things about the Boxers, the Red Lantern Sect, and Dong Junmen. He didn't Speaking of which, the foreign soldiers fought victoriously, and the Boxers—he called them the Boxers—died so many. He also said that the Boxers killed people indiscriminately, burned houses indiscriminately, and Dong Junmen’s returning soldiers were not good? It's not like that at all..." Before finishing speaking, two more smokers opened their mouths, both advocating that foreign soldiers would never win. "First of all, foreign devils have straight legs, they can't squat down, and they stand up in such a large pile that they are the best gun targets! Dong Junmen's rattan soldiers are good at it! If you roll on the spot, you will be more than ten feet away. When the ammunition on your gun is loaded, he will roll to you. Foreign devils don't know how to use knives, so they have to fall when they encounter such a team! In the past, when they fought in Vietnam, the black banner soldiers killed many French devils with this skill! "
