Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Sibi Zhaikong and Thin Clothes Are Unbearably Cold

Mrs. Yu made such a bragging speech, which she felt was quite right.Anyway, if you like my girl, you have to perfunctory me, and you have to bear what I say.Unexpectedly, Wang Sun didn't accept her tricks, turned around and ran away.This time, she couldn't wipe it off her face.In addition, Xiao Nan didn't ask what was good or bad, and stood at the gate, crying loudly, which made her at a loss.Then he took Xiao Nan by one hand, pulled him into the room, and said, "Let me ask you, what did I wrong you for? I want you to cry like this. "Xiao Nan shrank her hand into her arms, pointed at Yu Shi and said: "You are messing around like this, you don't cherish your reputation, but I do.Since then, our mother and daughter have divorced, and no one cares about anyone else.I said go away, and I will never come back in the future. She turned around, wiped her tears, and walked towards the Yangliu Song and Dance Troupe. Yu Shi chased out from behind and shouted: "Xiao Nanzi, where are you going?"Even if you fly into the sky, I will smoke you down. "Xiao Nan didn't listen to her cries and ran away.

Mrs Yu originally wanted to chase after Yangliu Song and Dance Troupe, but after thinking about it, she said she couldn't come back, she couldn't really not come back, even if she really didn't come back, fortunately, there are only three steps from home to Yangliu Song and Dance Troupe. You can go to her anytime.So he watched Xiao Nan go, and stopped chasing him.When she walked home, Chang Layen first asked: "You are too troublesome. A poor person needs to be poor to be ambitious. Your name has already been published in the newspapers. That's not enough." , and you are going to make a scene with your daughter again. Your ghost limelight is getting bigger and bigger, so you have to set up a hundred-day arena at the gate." Yu said: "If you want to make a scene, make a scene to the end. Anyway, I can't let that little girl escape from my palm. If she wins me all the trouble, I will stop being a human being in the future. Blind man, don't meddle in my business." She said something in her mouth, and her hands When I touched something in the room, there was a bang, bang, bang, bang.Seeing her like that, Layman Chang seemed to lose her temper desperately, so she dared not continue to say this.Mrs. Yu was already unhappy when she heard the news about her in the newspaper, and when her daughter came back, she scolded her for a while, and she was even more resentful.Layman Chang couldn't resist being scolded by her, and didn't dare to stop her, so he took a wooden stick in his hand, explored, and went out.He thought to himself, Hong Shiyi is always a young and mature man, and he first met the girl from my family, maybe it couldn't be said that it was all good intentions.But ever since you came to my house, what you said and what you did were not fair?Even in terms of our conversations and study of Buddhism, we can still be regarded as good friends. When people come to visit our house and are sick in our house, we don’t take good care of them, but that’s all. Instead, we carry them to the street to release up.I only blamed myself for being too soft and cowardly, but at that time I couldn't stop this matter from wishing my own wife, so I reluctantly went to see her illness, and made a big joke.If this matter got to Hong Shiyi's ears, wouldn't it be making people sicker?Besides, no matter how friendly the friend is, he is a poor man, and the poor should show sympathy for the poor. He just doesn't know me, and he was not carried out by my family. For the sake of sympathy, you can go and see him.Fortunately, I am also very familiar with the affiliated hospital of the Charity Association, so I will walk slowly to the hospital half by car and half by foot.When he thought of this, he reached into his pocket to feel for the money, heh!The day before yesterday, Mrs. Yu scattered the copper coins on the floor in the inner room. I secretly touched some of them and put them in my pocket, but now there are none. I must have let Mrs. Yu steal them again when I felt that I was fast asleep. gone.From this point of view, this woman was unwilling to lose any advantage to her husband.Although I have a wife and a daughter, in fact I have no wife and no daughter. I am the same person as Hong Shiyi. If I don't go to see him, who should go to see him?Thinking of this, even if you don't have copper to ride a rickshaw, you don't have to worry about it.With just one mouth and a wooden stick in his hand, he will be sent to the hospital of the Charity Society. Only in this way can we know what intentions are used to treat him?As far as I am alone, I can finally live up to my conscience.

Thinking this way, he encouraged his courage to ask everyone along the way, where do we go to the hospital?Although passers-by saw that he was blind, they pointed them out one by one.It is very time-consuming to walk by relying on people to guide him. Layman Chang left home at ten o'clock in the morning, and when he actually found the entrance of the hospital, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon.After he found out that this was a hospital, and he didn't want to go in, he used the wooden stick in his hand to explore Yanshi clearly, then squatted down and sat down slowly.The patrolman at the door was a little surprised when he saw his situation, so he asked him: "Your gentleman, are you here to treat patients or to see patients? What are you doing sitting on this step when you come here?" Layman Chang raised his head and asked him, "Are you from the hospital?" The policeman said, "I am a policeman." Layman Chang said, "Where I am walking, is there something in the way? Don't hide it You said, I was poor and lonely, I had no money to hire a car, and I didn’t lead me away. From the southwest city to the northeast city, I passed through the city obliquely. You let me rest for a while before going to see my friend." The patrolman said, "Is your friend in this hospital? What's your last name?" Chang Layman said, "Yes. Hong Shiyi!" The patrolman said: "It's Hong Shiyi? A big fat lady came to see him yesterday, but it was a joke. What's your surname?" Chang Layman said: "I'm a monk, I don't have a surname, because the clothes are donated by others Yes, so I’m not wearing monk’s clothes.” The patrolman said: “You’ve worked so hard to come here, it’s a waste of time. It’s almost three o’clock now, and when it’s three o’clock, visiting patients is forbidden here.” Often When the layman heard about it, he stood up, turned his face to the policeman, and said sincerely, "Can't you find a way to accommodate?" People come to see a doctor? We have to be accommodating when we are late, and we have no effect at this hour. Besides, we are the door guards, and we dare not be the master." Hearing this, layman Chang had an expression on his face. Immediately showed hesitation, shook his head and sighed, the patrolman saw his embarrassed look, and said: "If you want to go in to see the patient, even if someone accommodates you, it won't work, because the person in charge of this matter People, everyone is off work, who will lead you there? You sit here for a while, I will ask you for some money, and I will let you hire a car to go back." Then, he helped Layman Chang to sit down, I really went to pay a few dimes, hired a rickshaw for him, and took him away.Layman Chang mentioned an address casually, got in the car and went, but told the patrolman repeatedly.Ask him to send a message to Hong Shiyi, saying that a blind man who is a vegetarian has come to see his illness, he can't come in today, and he will come again if he has a chance.Because he was so enthusiastic about treating his friends, the patrolman found a reliable hospital servant and spread the news to the ward by word of mouth.

After Hong Shiyi heard the news, he was greatly moved. He felt that even if the Chang family was not good, there were only her mother and daughter. As for this Mr. Chang, he was an honest and cowardly person, and even Binocular unknown.For this kind of person, there is only pity for him, how can there be any reason to care about him?It's just his home, but he doesn't want to go.When a person is poor, of course he is not worthy to be a lover, nor a friend, nor even a benefactor.When I get out of the hospital in the future, I invite him to a small teahouse to have a talk. After he had this thought, he completely forgave layman Chang in his heart.After recovering from his illness, the reason why he was still in low spirits was that he was too deeply stimulated by the Chang family.Now Layman Chang has gone through hardships and walks to see his illness, which really brings him great comfort.

After two weeks, Hong Shiyi moved out of the hospital safely, but he still went back to live in the guild hall.It was already early autumn, and the temperature during the day was not bad. At night, the cold wind outside the window was blowing through the wall, and the glass-covered kerosene lamp on the table seemed to be sinking.The pale yellow light reflected on the walls in all directions, showing a bleak color, and the shadow of the man, reflected on the wall behind the bed, seemed to be so light that there was only a fuzzy shadow, not like a human figure.On the bed, apart from the straw mat, there was only a large sheet covered with four or five patches, covering the straw mat.On the quilt, there were two pillows, but they were clean.Only two of the pillows were in good condition, showing the coldness of the bed. Seeing the thinness of the bed, his body was so cold that he could only shiver. There is also a half-worn blue and gray cloth jacket, but I am reluctant to wear it.The reason for this is very simple. I am an office worker. When I go to work, I have to put on a mandarin jacket to be respectful. If I wear this mantle at home, it is worn out. When I am working, I will wear it. There is nothing to apply.So no matter how cold it was in the room, Shi Yi would never put on that jacket.Sitting alone in the room trembling for a while, I thought to myself, if I didn't know Xiao Nan, I wouldn't have lost my savings, and I wouldn't have used all the quilts on the bed.Up to now, sitting is not enough clothes, cold.Sleeping without bedding makes it even colder.However, when such a person suffers, he still cannot get others to take a look at it. Am I not too wronged?I couldn't stop thinking about the past, and my body became colder and colder. When I looked up, I saw that half-worn green cloth mandarin jacket was hanging on a long nail on the wall.The old pasted paper on the wall has turned into a burnt yellow color, and it hangs down in pieces. With this mandarin jacket, it looks even more tattered.Shi Yi thought to himself, what face is there for a person who is so poor?Now I'm very cold, let's talk in this mandarin jacket.Even if the mandarin jacket is torn in the future, I may not be allowed to enter the charity office.Thinking of this, he took off the mandarin jacket and put it on immediately. This may be a psychological effect, and his body became much warmer.But in the warmth he felt, that is, at that moment, sitting under the evening light and reading a few pages, his body became cold again.What else is there to do?Unless you put the sheet on the bed over your body.But it's just two pieces of single cloth put together, so what heating will happen?Listen to the colleagues in this guild hall, there are still those who haven't slept, if someone of them bumps in and sees himself like this, wouldn't it be a joke?This is nothing to worry about.When it is cold, the more afraid of the cold in the heart, the colder the body will be.So I warned myself not to think about the cold, so I put the few books I usually used for entertainment under the lamp to read.Opening the book, I saw the part of Wu Yongzhi's birthday outline in the summer of May, as if he was also walking on a light hill under the poisonous sun.But this fantasizing heat can't last for a long time. Gradually, I feel the coolness of my legs, and the cold air keeps rising up to the spine. This is helpless, and there is nothing to be excited about. All of a sudden.I was so cold that I couldn't sit still, and I was walking in the yard to get some heat, so I opened the door and jumped into the yard.

At this time, a seven-cent moon hung high in the sky, only a few bright stars around the moon, and a clear sky without any traces.Because of this, the moonlight shone on the ground, and it felt more like running water, splashing around.Standing in the moonlight is like swimming in cold water.Although the moon is something free of money, people who suffer from hunger and cold are also not qualified to appreciate her.Shi Yi raised his head to look at the moon when his whole body was cold, and felt that the autumn night was terrible, so he couldn't help being startled.Because the mind has stabilized for a few seconds, immediately there is a sound of boiling water, which is transmitted to the ears.It immediately gave him an idea, there is a stove in the kitchen, it is always warm.So he went into the house, took a broken teapot, and ran straight to the kitchen.

When I arrived in the kitchen, I saw the flame protruding from the stove, which was very cute. There was a black iron kettle beside the fire, and the boiling water in it was spewing out from under the lid with a puffing sound.So, I quickly made a pot of boiling water, held it in both hands, blew on the spout, and drank two sips.First, holding the hot teapot in your hands will make your hands much warmer.Secondly, the boiling water scalded from the throat to the intestines and stomach, and a burst of hot sweat rushed out from the body.Strange to say, the muscles of the whole body no longer trembled.With the heating on his body, he refused to leave the kitchen.I dragged a bench and placed it beside the lamp, holding the pot of boiling water in my hand, thinking slowly.well!A poor man, always a poor man, will not turn around.I think that when I was in February and March, I was so poor that I used hot water to satisfy my hunger, and now I use hot water to keep out the cold.I had a solution, I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I shouldn't be so infatuated with the girl picking up coal nubs that I fell into hell again.In fact, I did it voluntarily, so I don't care about it, but this lady collecting coal cores, although she doesn't appreciate my kindness, she shouldn't treat me as an enemy.When I fell ill in her home, her family carried me into the street.If a car passed by at that time, wouldn't it run over me to death?If there really was a swordsman and sword fairy like the one mentioned in Gu'er's Ci, he would definitely cut off the head of such a person for drinking.Sitting in this kitchen, the more he thought of his own distress, the more he hated Chang Xiaonan's viciousness.I don't know how much time I sat there, and I didn't know how much time I thought about it. The kitchen was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything around.The half-short window facing outwards was open, and seeing the shadow of the eaves stretching obliquely in the moonlight, it seemed that it was late at night.

The fellow countrymen in the guild hall slept more, and their voices fell silent.But from the other yard, a sound of men and women laughing softly came.Soon, after the slight laughter passed away, the fashionable song and dance music, the sound of drizzling rain, came into my ears.It does not want your gold or your silver, but your heart.Shi Yi remembered that there were two wealthy college students living in the next courtyard, and they often called the nearby Sijuan to come to the hall to stay with them in the dark.This voice was sung by that private prostitute.May I ask the private prostitute, why is she here?Is it possible not to have human gold?Is it possible not to have human silver?When she sang this song, I don't know what kind of feelings would come to her heart?But there is no need to blame the private whore, her goal is for money, if she can cheat other people's money, then do it.It's just singing and dancing stars who sing this kind of tune. They advocate pure and sweet love. Don't they want gold or silver?But as far as I can see, it may be getting worse.That Chang Xiaonan, I conclude that she is such a character.well!Damn me, why should I follow any religion and keep her chaste when I'm washing her face outside the west side gate?Now that she is among the group of men and women who sell sex, can she maintain her virginity?She is a lewd child anyway, so figure out how I can make up for all the grievances I have suffered from her.I should have respected her less then.That's all for later, no matter how despicable she is now, she still despises me.How can I express my grievance?I hate it!Thinking of this, I couldn't help but stamp my feet.During his stamping, a lazy cat sleeping on the chopping board was disturbed.The cat was awakened by the sound, jumped up straight, and hit a kitchen knife on the cutting board with a loud bang.The sound of the knife touched Shi Yi's scheming, he thought, I can't help you, can't I kill you?You can be happy, I will kill you, what can I see you can do?What are you happy about?I knew that the Yangliu Song and Dance Troupe had a short courtyard wall, so I climbed in and wanted to kill him.Thinking of this, he suddenly put down the hot teapot he was holding, pushed open the kitchen door, walked to the yard and stood there.Looking up at the moon, it is cold and crystal clear, it is really a chipped ice plate.Thinking this way in my heart, such a beautiful moon, maybe that girl is being embraced by some stinky man, where is she admiring the moon?I'll go right away, without hesitation, he took the kitchen knife in his hand, and quietly walked up to the gate. Seeing that the gate was still half open, he turned sideways and walked out through the crack of the door without pulling the door leaf. go.When I got to the alley, I saw that the moon was all over the place, from south to north, it was a white light, and there was no one in sight.A few lights on the lamppost were covered by the moonlight, like a few spots of light. Shi Yi's chest was full of hot clouds, but he just thought in his heart, with this knife in his hand, don't let the people on the street The patrolman saw it, so he avoided the street and just walked in the small alley under the moon.

The night was very deep, and there was the sound of peddlers selling snacks in the distance, which was transmitted through the air, and I felt both calm and terrible.After hearing this, Shi Yi thought to himself, this is also a friend who is struggling in the dark.In fact, in life, the grass grows in the autumn, and everything is just for a refreshing, early end is also an end, late end is also an end, so struggling so hard to do?I have been angry for half a year, and I should vent my anger today.A hero is a hero when he does things. I killed someone, and I decided not to hide. I kept surrendering to the district, and I wanted to speak freely in court.I was thinking about things in my heart, and I was walking on the road under my feet.He walked through many winding roads, and saw that he was near Layman Chang's house. He looked up at the moon, was stunned, and cried in his heart: "Moon, moon, look at me for doing this alone, you must forgive me, I The grievance suffered was too great.Today you are taking care of me, but tomorrow I will be imprisoned, and you will not be able to take care of me.Is it not tomorrow?I'm afraid I won't be able to kill him tonight, and if they kill me instead, you won't be able to see me in the middle of the night tonight.He lifted his feet and walked, all the way is very fast pace, until now, thinking about the result of this action, the success or failure is uncertain, if if carry the kitchen knife, climb over the wall and let others catch it, I will If a poor man is called a robber instead of a petty thief, what words should I use to defend him?The more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became, so I slowly slowed down, planning in my heart, if I really go forward like this, I'm afraid there is a need to consider this matter, right?The more he groaned like this, the slower his steps became. When he walked, he did so in one go, and he didn't care about anything other than feeling excited and having a good time.At this time, the pace slowed down, and the courage in my body was about to take away the heat by the way.Walking in the watery moonlight, one's body seems to be soaked in cold water.Shi Yi suddenly recalled the scene of running to the kitchen to warm himself by the fire tonight because he was too cold, and his attitude became agitated again.I was so poor because of Chang Xiaonan, why didn't I kill her?Even if I'm taken to court, I naturally have my own words to say.I walked to the right place, and I still brought a knife to go home, so I was too courageous.Let's go, I must do it, he thought of this, pulled out the kitchen knife hidden under the mandarin jacket, and under the moonlight, he raised two lifts in the air, and the lower two feet also took big strides , puff puff puff, walk forward quickly.

I didn't know the straight road to the Yangliu Song and Dance Troupe, so I had to go to the gate of Chang's house and detour there.Walking along, the low walls facing the street of ordinary lay people are lined up under the moon.From the gap in the wall, one can see what is going on in the yard.At this time, the moon seemed to be more visible, only the room where Mrs. Yu lived in the west had a ray of light, reflecting the paper window grille, which seemed to be half open.Shi Yi thought, this thieves woman is not as hateful as Chang Xiaonan, I might as well climb over the wall, break into the window, and chop her off with a single knife first.Since he thought so in his heart, he turned sideways and walked forward step by step along the shade of the wall.When I got to the end of the wall, it was a turning point. I stood and thought for a while, I decided to go, wait for me to concentrate first, and then run forward, no matter what happens, I just rushed in.While thinking about it, he took out the knife hidden in his bosom, looked at it twice, and thought: "Drink! Don't hesitate, first cut off the thief woman, and then cut off the little thief girl," pondered After touching it for about two or three minutes, the vigor was fully cultivated.Just about to leave, but the ancient system preserved in this ancient city, the sound of beating clappers and gongs all night to announce the watch, was sent to my ears from afar.

The watchman's route may pass through the gate of Chang's house. If the watchman patrols in front of him when he is climbing the wall, it will be very inconvenient. It is better to let them pass by and do it yourself.So I walked to the back wall of the Yangliu Song and Dance Troupe, looked around there, and sure enough, the distant sound of gongs and gongs came slowly to my side.I don't know why, but the closer the sound came to me, the more my heart beat.When the Geng Sheng met his head, he saw that they were two very weak old men, they were panting when they walked, and they couldn't lift their feet five inches high, just rubbing past each other.Hong Shiyi thought, they always do things like this.Excuse me, what can such two feeble watchmen do? If I were really going to be a robber, I would definitely beat these two watchmen.He despised the two watchmen here, and the two watchmen seemed to despise him a little bit, and they didn't notice that there was a person in the alley, but they walked past. Shi Yi lingered for a long time at both ends of the alley, and he also saw clearly the short wall of the Yangliu Song and Dance Troupe. When he held on to the brick hole on the wall and was about to climb in, he realized in his heart that I was wrong. .There are many houses here, I know which room Chang Xiaonan sleeps in?I'd better go to the old thief first, find out where Chang Xiaonan lives, and then come here to do it.So Fu turned around again and went straight to layman Chang's house.This time he mustered up twenty-four minutes of courage, and he would never back down.He rolled up the two oil sticks high, shook the handle of the knife in his hand, snorted, and then walked straight to the gap in the low wall of Chang's house, where the gap was, He turned sideways and listened to the room with his ears.A faint sound of sleep came from the window.Looking up, the slightly round moon had already slanted into the treetops on the roof.She seemed to be saying, I can't bear to watch this tragedy.Regardless of everything else, Shi Yi shrugged and jumped onto the gap in the wall.Although the debris on the wall inevitably rolled down one after another, fortunately no large bricks moved, and there was no sound.So he prostrated himself, put the knife on the wall, grasped the top of the wall with both hands, and slid down.He got down from the wall, stood firmly on the ground, took the kitchen knife in his hand, and walked quietly, until he reached the window, and tried it with his hands, but it was open.I thought to myself, isn't this a coincidence?He held the knife in his right hand, and pressed the grille on the window with his left hand, and just as he was about to push the window, the person got inside. Someone outside the wall suddenly shouted: "Hey! You are so bold, you move your hands in the moon field. If you dare to move, if you move, I will shoot right here." Shi Yi never expected that someone behind him would shout when he was in such a tight situation.When I looked back, I saw two policemen in black standing at the gap in the wall, half covering their bodies by the wall, each stretched out their hands, and gestured to him.Under the moonlight, it was not clear what they were holding in their hands, but if you thought about it casually, you could tell that they must be holding pistols in their hands, and they were about to shoot them at themselves.My heart beats wildly for a moment, and I panic, standing here, how can I move?The patrolman shouted: "Aren't the people here awake yet? There are villains in your yard!" At this time, Shi Yi had come to his senses and replied, "What kind of villain am I? This is my friend's house." "The patrolman said: "Are you still talking nonsense? We saw you from a long distance, and you climbed over the wall to come in. Did you climb over the wall to see your friends in the middle of the night?" Shi Yi held the hand on the window , did not dare to move, the hand holding the kitchen knife was hanging down, and when he let go, the kitchen knife fell to the ground.Fortunately, this is land. Although there was a sound of the knife, it was not very serious.One of the two patrolmen had already climbed over the wall and approached him step by step.Shi Yi saw that he was indeed holding a pistol in his hand, and the patrolman shouted: "You raise both hands, and I will search you." Shi Yi no longer had a knife in his hand, so there was no need to hesitate. Hands raised high.The patrolman held a pistol in one hand and patted him with the other. He looked at him kindly under the moon. When he saw him wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket, he exclaimed, "This is really strange. Are you still a gentleman?" Shi Yi said: "I said it's my friend's house, but you don't believe me. Mr. Chang, Mr. Chang, get up and open the door. The police think I'm a thief." With that sound, a voice from the room agreed.
