Chapter 11 The Story of Big Nose.3

According to the above, the life of our protagonist here seems quite extraordinary, but it is very ordinary.He has some "adventure" experiences every day, but even the field reporters of the "Local News" edition of Search Qiqi's "local news" don't think he is qualified for news. Well, then, we have to pick out one "adventure" from his extraordinary but ordinary life to start. I don't know what year, month and day, but it was a good day, neither hot nor cold, neither sunny nor windy nor rainy. The reason why this day deserves to be called the "adventure" in the history of his life is that there is such a thing.

It was about two o'clock in the afternoon, and he squatted by the wall of a "public toilet" and dozed off.It was his place, he had found it, and had bled to confirm his title to it.When it comes to his discovery, there is also a small history, which is a long time ago. He was surprised when he saw this beautiful public toilet for the first time: what is this small, well-built house? What about "family" or "company"?At that time, a man with a big belly and wearing a long black gown walked in, then another policeman with a pistol in his waist, and then another gentleman in a western suit—hey, they are all rich, and they all have power at any time. He didn't dare to approach the rich man who kicked him.He concluded that this small room was at least also a "office", and he couldn't help being awed.But suddenly he saw a woman coming out of another door, but she didn't look like a rich man's woman.Then another child who was similar to him also went in, which made him very upset, and he became more courageous. He sneaked a closer look, and then suddenly realized: It turned out that what those rich people went in to do was such a thing. "Public" thing!He felt cheated and frightened unjustly, so he wanted revenge; he first wanted to go in and take a fucking piss, but suddenly saw a newcomer handing a copper coin to the old woman at the door, and he again Immediately guessing that there must be a "passing door" in the middle, don't be presumptuous, so he changed his policy, only spit heavily at the small room, and at the same time, he chose the foot of the wall not far from the door and squatted down, which was regarded as the small room that shocked him. an insult.

At that time, he didn't mean to regard the foot of the public toilet as his territory.However, the child who was similar to him who went in before came out at this moment, and suddenly squatted beside him, leaning his back against the wall just like him, stretching his legs, forming a "eight" character.He is also very unfair. "Hey! Where did the little turtle come from!" He cursed to himself. "Who are you scolding? Little bastard!" That one also refused to show weakness. So they wrestled.The two sides were evenly matched, but for some reason, his head hit the wall, and seeing the red, the other one felt that he had made trouble, and perhaps felt that he had won, and ran away.Only our protagonist is left, and has since become the possessor of the foot of the public toilet.

Now, he has already "graduated" from the "knowledge" of this public toilet; he and the old woman who "manages the door" actually seem to have a little "friendship".Now, on a lukewarm day with no sun, no rain, and no wind, he squatted on his lot, dozing off, and seemed content. At this time, the public toilets were not in trouble, and the old lady wriggled her flat mouth, as if she was chewing something.She suddenly chewed and spoke, it was the "lord" of the land at the foot of the wall: "Hey, hey, Big Nose! You can take care of it for me, and I'll be back in a while."

What?Big nose!Who is Big Nose?Dozing off, he raised his head and looked around, unexpectedly calling himself, but the old woman called again: "Take care of it for me, Nosy; I'll be back in a minute. Thank you!" He knew that "Big Nose" was him, so the boss was not happy.When his parents were still around, he had a very respectable name, and he could call it himself; but since he became a street child, he has no definite name.At first, he also told his close friends the name his parents called him, but they all said it was "not easy to pronounce", and they kept yelling for a while. Later, he even forgot his real name.However, his friends never called him "Big Nose".His nose was perhaps larger than the others', but not large enough to be noticed.He and his partner had a "creed" about names: they felt it was insulting to have their own physical characteristics called names.For example, there was a dysentery child named Xiao Mao among them, and they sometimes had trouble with him, so they called him "diarrhea".

Therefore, when he suddenly heard the old woman call him "Big Nose", he was very unhappy, but he was also a little happy in the middle of the unhappy, because no one had ever entrusted him with anything as a person. "Want to take care of it for you? Good! But you have to come back quickly! I also have something to do." As he spoke, he pretended to be a "busy man", stretched himself and stood up. The old woman handed him a stack of toilet paper and left.But after walking a few steps, he turned back and shouted: "Twenty-five scraps of straw, twenty-five, big noses!"

"Hey, then I have to count." He replied without raising his head, counting the stack of straw papers seriously. After ten minutes, he was bored.Usually he would stand on a street corner or squat by the side of the road aimlessly and without "responsibility", and he wouldn't get tired of it not only for ten minutes, but for half an hour, but now he thought in his heart: "Damn, the old woman is harmful! Take my foot! Go fuck!" He felt responsible and not free, and was about to stand up and walk, when suddenly someone came in, and dropped a coin with a bang.

When he handed over a piece of toilet paper, "Big Nose" felt a kind of fresh interest.He actually "does business", and he seems to be a bit authoritative; without a piece of paper from him, no one can go in to handle his "official" business. He placed the copper beside the stack of straw papers in a serious manner, and straightened the straw papers in a serious manner. It seems that public toilets have been "bustling" for a certain period of time, and now is the right time.People of all colors came in one after another, and the copper coins were thrown into the paper box where the straw paper was placed one after another, and there were as many as five or six coins in an instant.The agent was a little flustered.One, he is still a novice in "business"; two, he has never kept so many coppers.

He took the time to stack up the copper coins.When the fourth one was folded, he looked at the three that had already been folded, and then weighed the one in his hand, as if he couldn't bear to part with it.But he finally stacked on top of the third one, and then he stacked the fifth and sixth ones. There were still people coming in one after another.Finally the number of coppers increased to twelve.This is the highest record.After that, the agent was free again. Twelve coppers!A copper pillar about an inch high.Like a cat catching a mouse, he kept moving the copper pillar. He cut off half of it, weighed it lightly in the palm of his hand a few times, and returned the other one. ! —and approached the pocket of his ragged blouse.However, all of a sudden, like a cat catching half of a mouse but spitting it out again, he stacked the copper coins in his hand on top of the copper coins in the paper box, and it still became a copper pillar inch high.

The second time he cut off the copper pillar, but he didn't hold it in the palm of his hand for a few times, but moved it to his ripped pocket neatly and skillfully.His hand was by the pocket, but he stopped again, his eyes caught a few coins in the paper box; if the old woman hadn't come back at this moment, maybe he would spit it out again. "Ah, old woman, are you back?" He said with a little bit of surprise, and at the same time, his hand holding the copper was gradually inserted into his pocket. The old woman seemed out of breath when she walked, she only twisted her flat mouth a few times, her eyes had already landed on the reduced stack of straw paper and the copper coins pressed on top of the straw paper.

"Look! Are you managing well? You have to thank me tomorrow!" He said, squinted his eyes, stood up and left. After walking a few steps, when he looked back again, the old woman had counted the coins and was counting the straw paper.So he thought of slipping away quickly, but felt that there was no need to slip away.He cried out: "Old woman! The wind blew a few pieces of toilet paper into the piss pit! Go pick them up and dry them, they're still useful!" The old woman finally figured out that the amount of copper and the amount of straw paper were not correct, she twisted her flat mouth with great effort and said: "Dishonest, big nose!" "It's my fault? The wind blows it away!" He replied angrily, turned and ran.However, after running a few steps, he turned around and raised his fist and shouted: "Old woman! Guess, what is it? If you guess it, it's yours. Hahaha!" While laughing, he quickly ran across a road.
