looking for unparalleled 王小波 1991Words 2018-03-19
As I said, Father Wang An, an official in Xuanyang Fang, has only one eye, but he even sleeps with half of his eye open.This is because he is afraid that if he closes his eyes completely, someone will come to make trouble.Now he knew that someone was looking for trouble, and that was Wang Xianke.Originally, the workshop was safe and sound, but this kid suddenly appeared to look for Wushuang. He only showed up for a day, and then he had a fight with others and even filed a lawsuit.That's not counting, he was almost so tired that he ate the board in the yamen.In fact, it is a bit inaccurate to say that it is a board. It should be said that it is a stick.That kind of stick is made of paraffin rod, more than ten feet long and very elastic.Hitting the ass is pretty painful.Dad was a yamen servant before he became a square official. At that time, he specialized in spanking other people's buttocks. He beat hundreds of people back and forth.If it was his turn to get a board, those people would be jumping for joy, saying it was a reward for the world.For these reasons, after being scolded in the yamen that day, my father was very unhappy.Fortunately, the leader of the yamen knew the truth, so he went to find him the next day, invited him to eat Dandan noodles, and gave him great encouragement.At this time, of course, my father would complain, saying that the work in the workshop could not be done.It was originally arranged by the yamen, and the matter of quarrels and quarrels must be managed in the workshop, and the most important thing is that the common people should not be asked to go to court.The reason here is simple: Chang'an is so big, but there are not many officials.If everyone goes to the lawsuit whenever they have something to do, then the official will be exhausted to death.Everything Dad did was done according to the above arrangement, but in the end he was almost beaten, which was unreasonable.The chief said it wasn't a bad job for Papa.It's just that the official has just taken office, and he doesn't understand bullshit, so the old man has been wronged.But the old man couldn't let him go if he was wronged. He must keep an eye on this Wang Xianke and not let him do whatever he wants.After hearing these words, the old man went back to Xuanyangfang, and every time he fled Xu to the inn where Wang Xianke was staying, asking him what happened.

The old man returned to Xuanyangfang and told everyone that although the matter of confiscating Wang Xianke's certification documents was wrong last time, Wang Xianke is not a good person after all, and he must be kicked out of Xuanyangfang.He also hinted that this was an arrangement from his superiors.All the gentlemen in Xuanyangfang nodded in agreement after hearing this.But when it came to how to get rid of him, everyone refused to give an idea, and they all said that this was Dad's business, and it was inconvenient for them to intervene. Looking out from Wang An's eyes, Xuanyangfang is such a place: it is a large courtyard with a square of one mile, and there are many houses in it, and many people live there; he is very familiar with every house and everyone. .Walking from the east end of the square to the west end, there are Boss Zhang, Boss Li, Boss Sun, Boss Luo, Boss Zhang's silly girl, Boss Li's lame son and so on.Going east from West Head, there lived Boss Ma and Lao Suntou who sold Dandan noodles. Boss Ma's wife had body odor, and Lao Suntou's son had the habit of stealing chickens and dogs; and so on.There are many people in Xuanyangfang, but the old man knows them all.Not only recognize, but also know what they are doing and what they are thinking.For example, Boss Li's silly son keeps staring at Boss Zhang's silly girl's buttocks.It was perfectly clear what he was thinking.Other things are also clear at a glance.But now there is an extra Wang Xianke, looking for a non-existent Wushuang, this matter is troublesome even thinking about it.

Wang Xianke lived in the inn opposite the empty yard, and asked for a room upstairs, looking at the yard from the window.This place is separated from the yard by a street, and there are tall weeds growing on the houses in the empty yard, so it is not very obvious.He went to the Persian's shop and bought a single-eye telescope.The telescope technology at that time was not up to standard, and the scene we saw was upside down.So he tied a rope to the beam, bound his feet, and looked down.But the grass on the roof still blocked the view, so he bought some more rabbits and threw them on the house in the empty yard.The rabbits couldn't get up and down the house, so they ate all the grass.After all these efforts, he could finally see the empty yard as if he were looking at the scene in front of him.But those rabbits had males and females, and they bred on the roof, and they were never able to go down to the ground, and finally became a great disaster.They ran around on the roofs, ate up the thatch and pine trees on the tile-roofed houses, ate the grass on the thatched houses, and made holes in the houses to build their nests.But Wang Xianke didn't care about these things, he just looked into the empty yard, because he always looked at the telescope with one eye wide open, so he became one big and the other small, looking very much like Wang An's father.He also asked the workshop to print a lot of notices and posted them everywhere, announcing that he was looking for all news about Wushuang and the empty courtyard in Xuanyangfang;All this caused a great commotion in Xuanyangfang, but Wang An's father had nothing to do about it, because this Wang Xianke was very rich.

Father Wang An said that at the beginning of the creation of the world, there were two kinds of people in the world.One kind of people is us, and the other is the traitorous party.In the Jianyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, there are still two kinds of people in the world, one is still us, and the other is still the traitor.These are the golden words of the father.Today, there are still two kinds of people in the world, one is still us, and the other is still the traitor.Dad also said that Wang Xianke is a traitor, even though he has two bad money, he is still a traitor.In this world, ice and charcoal are different, and there is no balance between good and evil.If a person is not us, he must be a traitor.Therefore, everyone must not associate with Wang Xianke, so as not to make mistakes.But others couldn't listen to his words, and instead said: Dad, you had a fight with him, so you have a prejudice against him.Come on, old man, it's better to get rid of enemies than to end them!

Dad later said that in this world, counting money is the worst thing, even worse than Wang Xianke.Just because Wang Xianke offered a reward of five taels of silver for a message, everyone went to him and told him the details of the yard.It turned out that the courtyard was really not an abandoned nunnery, but an abandoned Taoist temple.In the past, there lived a female Taoist priest named Yu Xuanji.The Taoist nun became a monk, but she didn't abide by the rules and behaved dissolutely.Because Wang Xianke identified this courtyard, the person he was looking for was not Wushuang, but Yu Xuanji.After hearing these words, Wang Xianke felt dumbfounded.Think about it, he traveled from Shandong to come here, endured countless hardships, spent countless money, and in the end he even had a problem with who he was looking for.
