Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

The broad Songhua River is rolling forward, the waves are rising and falling, and the water is turbulent.A large wooden raft was parked on the bank, about 15 meters wide and 150 meters long.This wooden raft is made up of more than 20 small wooden rafts connected together, and thick logs are tied together.A boat is tied to the back side of the wooden raft, and the boat is loaded with various daily necessities of the wooden gangs.Cao San, who led the team on the cabinet, commanded everyone to organize the shipping. A flower shed is built at the front of the raft.Xian'er hid in the flower shed, coughing from time to time, sticking her head out to watch the shore secretly.There is a huge altar on the shore, on which there are various offering fruits picked from the mountains and forests, a lot of incense candles are lit, and the incense smoke is curling up in the incense burner.About twenty male volleyball workers, old and young, knelt down facing the altar and the river.The old man in the lead was thin and capable, with a sleeve that lacked an arm tied around his waist, which was very conspicuous. Needless to say, this man was the "head trick" of the platoon gang, the old one-armed man.Behind the old one-armed man was a heroic young man, his brows were full of anger, it was just because he had been traveling for a long time, his face was haggard, but he was passing on martial arts.The old one-armed man sang loudly:

The old one-armed man finished singing Chuanwu: On the wooden raft, Xian'er, who was hiding in the flower shed, was unwilling to be lonely, and stood on the row and sang: The old one-armed man was stunned when he heard Xian'er's singing, and said angrily to Chuanwu, "Chuanwu, why hasn't she left yet?" Chuanwu said, "Grandpa, she has nowhere to go, so you can take her with you." "The old one-armed man shouted: "You two enemies! Since ancient times, how can there be a woman in the row? This place is not like a mountain place, the risk is too great, let her go back!" Xian'er heard it from a distance, coughing and saying "Grandpa, I'm not afraid, I'll follow you wherever you go!" The old one-armed man sighed and said, "Oh, there's nothing we can do to take you, so stay if you're not afraid of death." He waved his hand and said, "Guys, come on!" Paizi!"

The platoon gangs jumped onto the raft one after another.The old one-armed man shouted, "Let's start the platoon!" The platoon gang shouted: With the sound of the chant, the wooden raft slowly left the shore and flowed down the river. The one-armed old man said to Chuan Wu: "Son, you say you are living a good life, so what do you want me to do?" Chuan Wu said: "Grandpa, I would like to live this kind of free life, just like you, comfortable Have fun!" The old one-armed man said with a smile: "You two little people have a temper all the way, but your heart is wild." Chuan Wu said: "Just like you, is your heart not wild?" The old one-armed said: "Compared with me What? I was forced to do nothing."

Xian'er poked her head out of the flower shed and said, "Grandpa, I want to know about you. Where has my sister Hong been these few years? Is there no news of her?" The old one-armed man said, "Walking along the river, you will always meet Hers." Xian'er said: "What is she doing now? Has she got a family?" The old one-armed man said: "What else can she do? It's still a flesh and blood business. The money has been earned, and it's all taken. If you have money, you don't run away. When I arrived in Harbin, I ran to Mudanjiang and spent a lot of money. Stinky women don’t learn well, and when they have money, they compare with Russian women. They wear mink fur coats, high-heeled leather shoes, and wear blindfolds. Dao Lai's buttocks are twisting, twisting, and can twist all the way to Vladivostok, and the two tits are strong, strong, wishing they could reach Siberia!"

Xian'er smiled and said, "Grandpa, you can be bullied." The old one-armed man said, "Why am I bullying her? Just wear some clothes. Some stinky men will take the bait as soon as they coax her, and they will live with them , When she spent all her money, she ran away, and then returned to Jiangyan'er, sold it again, and ran away after earning money. Once she was fooled, she didn't have a long memory, and she was just a chick." Chuanwu said: "Red My sister is too kind-hearted and too straightforward." The wooden raft meanders forward, and the scenery on both sides of the bank is picturesque, and it retreats slowly.From time to time, the old one-arm commanded the platoon to help the platoon, saying: "Lean towards the heart of the river... to avoid the drifters... the head of the platoon must be straightened... the pole must be set correctly... pay attention to the color of the river surface..." The platoon gang clamored Said: "Sister Xian'er, they all say that you sing well in Bengbeng opera, come on!" Xian'er said: "If you come to a section, come to a section, but there is one thing, I don't sing meaty ones." Amid the cheers of the platoon gang , Xian'er touched the scene with emotion, opened his voice, and the crisp and lively tune echoed on both sides of the strait, resounding and suppressing the clouds...

The platoon gang cheers.The old one-armed man waved his hand and said, "Okay, all of you are staring, there is Shiba Pan ahead, this is an evil river!" Sure enough, a dangerous shoal appeared ahead.The old one-arm stared at the river, and the platoon members worked together.I saw the wooden raft up and down several times.Chuanwu and Xian'er held hands firmly... The wooden raft broke through the dangerous shoal, and moved forward steadily and slowly.A row of nests appeared on the shore. Chuanwu asked: "Grandpa, what's the place in front?" The old one-armed man said: "Oh, this is a row of nests, there are more in front, don't stop here." Kind, full of coquettish energy.A fat woman shook her handkerchief and shouted: "Brother, please help, the sky is dark, the wine is hot, the kang is ready, and the hot bed is waiting for you to get into it, sister to sleep with brother Once you sleep, you're tired." The second move asked the old one-armed: "First move, do you rely on help?" The old one-arm waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, and rely on Fenglingdu in front."

The woman sang vigorously and said: The platoon gang encouraged the second trick and said: "Two tricks, you sing well, go face to face with her." Two strokes and one smile sang: The woman said: Two strokes are right: Some of the platoon gangs are ready to move, clamoring to rely on the gang: "The first move, rely on help, sooner or later." "Yeah, it's time to rest." The old one-armed man kept beating the restless platoon gang with a stick and said, "I tell you to play hard and work for me!" The second move shouted, and the platoon gang responded: The raft continued to move forward amidst hoarse trumpets, and did not touch the shore until it was dark.In the flower shed, Xian'er lay sleepily on the pine fur bed, coughing non-stop.Chuanwu said anxiously: "Sister, your cough is getting worse and worse. Did you catch a cold?" Xian'er said, "I'm fine. We've all gone ashore, so you can go too." Chuanwu said, "Sister, I If you don’t go, it’s better to stay with my sister than to go anywhere. Let’s just work for this season, and when the money is divided, we will settle down and get married.” Outside the flower shed, the old one-armed man was smoking a cigarette silently.

Chuanwu Gong went out of the flower shed, sat down in front of the old one-armed man, and asked, "Grandpa, these days the walking has been getting slower and slower, when will we arrive at Anton?" The old one-armed man said, "Oh, this is our last trip. It’s difficult to move forward. If you try to move forward, you have to nest there.” Chuan Wu said, “What can we do then?” The old one-armed man said, “Oh, when we get to the Does it count? Does Xian’er have a cold?” Chuanwu said, “Well, I’ve been coughing and having a fever for the past two days.” The old one-armed man said, “Come on, I’ll go in and have a look.” The old one-armed man entered Flower shed, touched Xian'er's forehead and said, "Let's try the old method." Then, he took out a big horseshoe needle from his bosom.Xian'er endured the pain, Chuanwu looked worried, the old one-armed man still had an ordinary indifferent expression, and his hands and feet deftly released half a basin of blood on Xian'er's body, and the blood turned black.

Cao Sangong entered the flower shed, and when he saw the black blood in the basin, he was startled and said, "Oh my god, it's so poisonous?" Arm shook his head.Cao San said to Chuanwu: "It's okay, if you really can't leave, you will recuperate here first, and I will pick you up when Paizi returns." He covered his mouth and went out. Cao San saw the platoon brothers eating in small groups, leaned over, and cursed: "Fucking nonsense! How can women eat this kind of food? Women should eat us on the shore. I said it a long time ago. , She is unlucky here. I think her illness is probably tuberculosis, and she will infect you all sooner or later. Discuss and see what to do." There were quite a few platoon gangs to cater to, and one said: "Yes, throw away It’s no wonder I keep losing money, and it’s not good for everyone to have her in the row.” Another said: “I’ve been coughing for the past two days, maybe it’s because of her infection.”

Chuanwu walked out of the flower shed, cursed: "Shut up your stinking mouths! I want to throw you all away! Who dares to talk nonsense, I'll never end with him!" He said, taking off his clothes and wanting to use force with others.Seeing that something was wrong, Cao San slipped away quietly.The old one-armed old man arched out of the flower shed, stopped Chuanwu and said: "You boy, you are going to be messed up again! You still don't know how to get her some medicines!" He turned to everyone and said, "Don't you all want to be happy a long time ago?" , Fenglingdu is a small place, but it has everything. Come back on time tomorrow morning, let’s go!” The platoon gang members ran to the shore happily and clamored.

The wind picked up on the shore of Fenglingdu.Cao San yelled: "Get up quickly!" The second move said: "Wait a minute, Chuanwu and Xian'er are still brewing medicine at the farmer's house!" Cao San said: "Don't wait, hurry up!" Gang propped up the shore vigorously with pennies, and the raft started slowly.On the shore, Chuanwu ran panting with Xian'er on his back, and jumped onto the back of the raft.Cao San stopped him and said, "Chuan Wu, let's make it clear today that women shouldn't be in the row. Besides, her disease will infect everyone sooner or later! Either you throw Xianer down, or Both go down, which way do you choose?" Chuanwu said viciously: "I also made it clear today. It's not uncommon for women to be in the upper row in the past. Xian'er's disease will never be transmitted to others. It's all your imagination. She is my woman. We If you die, you will die on the row, get out of the way!" After speaking, he walked straight to the head of the row with Xian'er on his back. After all this tossing, Xian'er was dying.Chuanwu put her on the kang, sat aside and wept secretly.The old one-armed man came in and said, "Son, I think Xian'er is dying, but the wooden raft has to go! Chuanwu doesn't mean not to keep you, you can't let Xian'er die on the raft, right? It doesn't matter where you die. You'll have to cover your face with loess. I left some money for Xian'er here, so you and her can stay on the shore." After saying that, she turned her head and left. Xian'er opened her eyes and said, "Chuanwu, leave me behind, or you won't survive. I've taken care of you. I've been loved by someone in my life. Even though I don't have a family, I'm content..." said He fell into a drowsy sleep.Cao San arched into the flower shed again, covered his nose and listened to Xian'er's breathing, and said to Chuanwu, "No, this person is going to die soon! Chuanwu, listen to me, throw her down quickly!" Startled, Chuanwu leaned down and listened to Xian'er's breathing, and said, "Are you still alive?" Cao San lowered his face and said, "What's the matter? It's all turbidity! Let me tell you, Chuanwu, I, Cao San, is the chief steward of this platoon, and I've done my best to you. You can't let her stink in the platoon. Come on, let the big guys follow suit? Come on, come out with me for a while." Chuan Wu looked at Xian'er with some anxiety, and followed Cao San out of the flower shed.On the wooden raft outside the flower shed, the layout workers gathered together.Chuanwu followed Cao San to the end of the row.An old platoon leader who was almost fifty said: "Chuan Wu, we are all family members, we don't want to die with this bitch! If you don't throw her down, don't blame us for not being brotherly. You go down together too!" Everyone echoed. Seeing the attitudes of the crowd, Chuanwu said softly, "I beg you, she is still angry! If she really dies, I'll go down with her, okay?" Cao San said seriously: "Chuanwu There are plenty of good girls!" As he spoke, he took out two oceans and shook them, saying, "As long as you have this, you can choose anything! Chuanwu, listen to me, throw her away!" Stuffing Dayang into Chuanwu's arms, Chuanwu would not accept it, and slapped the money on the row. Cao San said angrily: "Chuan Wu, don't you fucking know good and bad, you want to kill us all! Let me ask you a question, do you want to do it? If you want to do it, we will help you Let's go!" Chuanwu jumped up and shouted: "Stop! Anyone who dares to move Xian'er's finger will go to see the King of Hades first!" Cao San and the others were shocked by Chuanwu's momentum and stopped. Both sides were sullen and deadlocked, Xian'er walked out of the flower shed and walked towards the edge of the wooden raft near the center of the river.She walked very hesitantly, but her expression was very determined.Chuanwu shouted hoarsely: "Xian'er!" and ran to the front of the row.Xian'er continued to walk towards the edge of the raft as if she hadn't heard it. Cao San and the platoon gang watched in dumbfounded.Xian'er walked to the edge of the wooden raft without stopping, turned her head and smiled at Chuanwu, and jumped into the river.Chuanwu was dumbfounded for a moment, then called Xianer and jumped into the river.The old one-armed man stood blankly on the raft, tears streaming down his face. The wooden raft moved forward with difficulty on the wide river.The old one-armed man sat at the head of the row, humming softly, and his desolate singing echoed on the river: The old one-armed man who sang the line song had a grim expression.Amidst the singing, Cao San and the platoon gang listened silently with different attitudes.The second trick said to the old one-armed: "Head trick, that is the old Mudu in front of you, right?" Look--" On the ferry, Chuan Wu stood there silently holding the fainted Xian'er, the two looked neither human nor ghost.The old one-armed man was shocked, and stood there like a clay sculpture, with big tears rolling out of his eye sockets, without saying a word.The raft was helped.Chuanwu jumped onto the row with Xian'er in his arms.Everyone couldn't hide it, and looked at the two of them in horror.The old one-armed man sighed and said, "Children, you are so fateful. I have never seen such an infatuated man and woman in this life!" Chuanwu knelt down, and shouted, "Grandpa, she is my life..." The old man One-armed turned around and said to everyone: "Listen all of you, whoever wants to force them from now on, I will kill him!" Xian'er fell into a coma for three days, and Chuan Wushou waited on her for three whole days!Xian'er couldn't take the medicine, so Chuan Wu fed her mouth to mouth; Xian'er was hot, Chuan Wu beat her to the river water and wiped her body over and over with a towel to cool down.Three days later, Xian'er's fever subsided, and Chuanwu's face became thinner. Human life is sometimes like the stubborn and long Songhua River, even if it is covered by ice, there is still a hot current flowing under the ice.Three days later, Xian'er woke up, panting and muttering: "I'm hungry..." Chuanwu was overjoyed and asked, "What did you say?" Xian'er said, "I'm hungry..." Chuanwu knelt On the row, the tears in his eyes couldn't stop anymore, and he cried like a madman, "Xian'er is alive, alive..." The old one-armed man didn't turn his head when he heard that, and let the second move The food was delivered to the shed.In the shed, Chuanwu hugged Xian'er tightly, crying and said: "Sister, we are all people who have died several times, Lord Yan is not rare, why do you want to go that way? Sister, You don't have a home yet, our own life hasn't started yet, I want you to have a home, and we can never be separated again in this life!" On the river bank, the horse thief Xiao Xuanfeng galloped on horseback with his fully armed men.Xiao Xuanfeng fired several shots into the sky, and shouted loudly at the platoon gang: "Hurry up and land!" Cao San San on the wooden raft turned pale with shock, "Old One Arm, look, this is Xiao Xuanfeng's men, what should we do? The old one-armed man was also a little panicked: "Why did you meet them! Jiang Mian is too thin, and they come up as soon as they say they come up, and no one can stop them." Cao San said: "Then recognize the head? Let them grab it casually?" One Arm said: "Don't be afraid, they rob money but not life, brothers don't have much money on them, let them watch the robbery. Guys, if you can hide the money on your body, hide it, if you can't hide it, let them rob it. Don't provoke them!" Cao San said anxiously: "You can talk about it, but what about me? I have all the envoys on this road in my pocket, where can I hide it!" Chuan Wu had an idea and said: "Grandpa One-armed, hurry up, let everyone tie me up!" Everyone was puzzled.The old one-arm slapped his thigh and said, "Yes! Tie him up!" Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.The old one-armed man growled and said, "Why are you still in a daze? Everyone hid all the money in his crotch and tied him to the row pole!" Then everyone suddenly realized, and hurried to act, the one who tied people tied people, the one who hid money Hide money.Xian'er also hurriedly took ashes from the bottom of the stove and smeared it all over her face, pretending to be a cook. The raft leaned against the shore.Xiao Xuanfeng and others got off their horses and jumped onto the wooden raft near the shore.Two horse thieves threatened everyone with guns, and Xiao Xuanfeng directed the rest of the horse thieves to search.The horse thief started a crazy plunder, but did not find much money.The little guy approached Xiao Xuanfeng and said, "Damn it, I met a bunch of poor ghosts!" At this time, Chuanwu, who was tied to the pole, shouted loudly: "The ladle handle, the younger brother is also a scorpion. I missed it, so I asked them to tie it up. Brother, help me!" Little Xuanfeng walked over, circling around Chuanwu, He smiled and said: "Aha, so you are also a scorpion? Look at you, you guys, look at it, don't you look like you peed on the kang and let your mother spank your butt? Huh? Haha..." The horse thieves all laughed , echoed: "Like, it's so similar! You brat still wants to eat this bowl of rice? The milk is not dry yet!" Little Xuanfeng said: "Damn it, don't you understand the truth that you can't save a scorpion if you meet a scorpion? That's all right, you can cool off here. Guys, the water here is shallow, go away." , Lead the crowd to jump off the row.The horse thieves mounted their horses and rode away.Only then did everyone untie the Chuanwu on the row pole, and thanked one after another.Cao San patted Chuanwu on the shoulder and said, "You boy, okay, you still have some courage." The old one-arm called Chuanwu to him, and said, "Son, it looks like you are worthy of being the son of Zhu Kaishan, and you have courage." Chuanwu said, "I'm also impatient." The child is also fate, how can it be better? Grandpa is a little sorry for you." Chuan Wu said: "Grandpa, I don't blame you." The old one-armed said: "It's not that Grandpa is cruel, and he can't rely on anyone to come out into the world. , You have to rely on yourself. When there is a disaster or disaster, you have to roll on the tip of the knife. If you roll over, you will survive. If you can’t roll over, don’t blame anyone. Don’t complain about helping others, because no one owes you anything. Don’t feel cold when you hear my words. It’s not good, but it’s the truth. Did you understand what I said?” Chuanwu nodded and said: "Grandpa, I understand everything." An autumn rain fell, bringing bursts of chill.Zhu Kaishan's family sat scattered in the main room, watching the continuous autumn rain and worrying.Wen Ta Niang said: "When is it still raining? The rain is not at the right time." Na Wen said: "Mom, is it bad for the crops when it rains?" What do you know?" Chuanwen said: "Actually, you don't play the string very well, boom boom boom, boom boom boom, it sounds like playing cotton." Zhu Kaishan said, "You don't want to listen if you say you are ignorant. The strings are played so well that you can tell by ear that it was taught by a famous teacher." Na Wen said: "That's not true! I, Amana, spent a lot of money and specially hired a master who holds strings for famous actors from Beijing to teach them. As far as the strings I play, you can search all over the northeast, there is no second One." Zhu Kaishan said: "Then Wen, you are good everywhere, but this is immodest, when can you change it? You are all virtuous?" Wen's mother said: "No, it's cloudy when you talk, I have to dust it with a dustpan." The Wen said, "Mother, why?" Wen's mother said, "There are too many scorpions!" The Wen said, "What's wrong with the many scorpions?" Wen's mother said, "There are so many scorpions More means less of real accomplishment." The text said: "Oh my mother, you just tell me the truth, can't you have less? Turn this corner!" Zhu Kaishan said worriedly: "The rain is over and the frost period may come earlier. Our family grows a lot of soybeans. If it is really early, it will be fatal!" Chuanwen said: "Then what should we do?" Zhu Kaishan said: "There is no other way but to carry corn stalks into the field to smoke and resist frost." The text said: "Our family grows a lot of beans, so how many people have to carry them and light the fire!" The text said: "Then prepare for the rainy day!" His mother Wen said: "Then Wen, what word did you say?" The Wen said: "Prepare for the rainy day." It is said that it is not raining yet, so fasten the doors and windows first. That means to prepare in advance." Wen Ta Niang said: "Tsk tsk, I said that I turned a corner, and you turned the corner into the sorghum field. .” Zhu Kaishan said: "That article makes sense. Chuanwen, you should start making preparations early, prepare some straw, prepare more, and hire some temporary workers. Let's pay more." Chuanwen said: "That will How many days?" Zhu Kaishan said: "Who knows that the frost will fall that day? Why can't it be ten days? Get ready early." Wen Taniang said to Na Wen, "I told you to plan ahead." Na Wen said: "That is, Learning is always useful, my books are two Juren..." Wen Ta Niang said: "Here it goes again! Take your bellows away!" On both sides of the street in Yuanbao Town, the two carriages of the Zhu family and the Han family are recruiting workers.Chuanwen became angry when he saw the Han family's guy. He held his strength, stood on the carriage and yelled: "Whoever wants to work, come with me. I will pay the highest price today, so you don't have to ask for food. Don't worry." Pork vermicelli, big steamed buns, big steamed buns, enough to make, fish every now and then, and small wine at night. Where can I find such a good thing, what are you waiting for? Get in the car!" On the other side of the intersection, a group of day laborers who had been surrounding the Han family's carriage ran over and jumped into the carriage.As soon as Chuanwen was about to drive the carriage, a migrant worker came running out of breath, and said to the people in the carriage, "Go over there, the old Han's price is higher, go over there!" Jump out of the carriage and run to the carriage in the distance.Chuanwen followed and said, "Hey, don't leave, I'll add another ten cents!" The tug-of-war started over and over again, and the migrant workers jumped out of this car and got into the other car, tossing and turning.Just squat in the middle of the two cars and watch the price increase on both sides.Chuanwen couldn't stand it anymore, he stared blankly at the other party pulling people away, and didn't hire anyone, sighed, and drove the carriage home by himself. Chuanwen ran into the courtyard and saw the hired workers sitting in the courtyard motionless. He glanced at them and hurried into the main room without caring about inquiring.Zhu Kaishan sat on the stool and smoked.Chuanwen said anxiously: "Father, what should Han Laohai do if he can't hire a worker because he is making trouble?" Mother Wen said: "Father, you should say something, it seems to make the child anxious!" Zhu Kaishan still didn't speak. Wen Ta Niang cried and said: "How good is this? The guys also fell off the rake, and our beans will go blind if there is no one to help them. Isn't this going to kill people!" Chuanwen said: "Mother, what's wrong with the guys?" Wen Ta Niang said: "What's the matter? I told you, hiring day laborers paid so much money, they lost money and quit!" Chuan Wen said: "Isn't this making things worse? Let me talk about them!" Zhu Kaishan said: " No, you call them one by one, I have something to say." Zhu Kaishan was still sitting on the stool smoking, Er Zhuzi came in and said, "Old boss, are you calling me? What do you want?" Zhu Kaishan said, "It's nothing. Your mother is fine?" Er Zhuzi said, "I Mother is fine, thank you old boss for your concern." Zhu Kaishan said, "Did the back pain happen again?" Er Zhuzi said, "I'm much better after taking a few medicines you gave me." Zhu Kaishan said, "Hey, once you You told me that half of your cousin's butt was licked by the black blind man, what happened? Tell me about it, it's very interesting." I didn't talk about anything serious, so I just met one by one.Chuanwen found it strange, and asked the text, "What's daddy doing? Are you going to pass the court one by one?" After thinking for a long time, the text slapped his head and said, "My God, this trick of our father's is so amazing, it's so amazing. You see, they will start working after a while." Old Cui was the last one. When he came back from the main room, he saw a few guys still playing cards.Er Zhuzi said: "Huh? Why is there a card missing?" Shunzi said: "How can I play without a card? I won't play anymore." Old Cui said: "Don't, look for it." Everyone got up to look for a card, but they couldn't find it. Can't find it.Old Cui said: "I don't want to play anymore. It's strange. I still have a lot of cards just now. How come after playing a few times, it will be less?" Erzhuzi asked: "What did the old boss say to you?" Cui said: "Same as you." Shunzi said: "Really?" Old Cui said: "Really." Erzhuzi said: "Didn't you say anything else?" Old Cui said: "No! I didn't treat you Say something else?" Er Zhuzi said: "No." Old Cui said: "Then you didn't say anything else?" Er Zhuzi said: "Absolutely not." Old Cui said: "You didn't say anything else ?” Everyone shook their heads. Shunzi said: "Don't just ask other people, you didn't say anything else?" Old Cui said: "What else can I say? You can't trust me?" Er Zhuzi said: "You spent the most time in the old head's place." Long, who knows what you said?" Old Cui said: "What do you mean?" Erzhuzi said: "What can I mean?" Old Cui said: "You can't trust me?" Shunzi said: "These days Don't trust anyone, just do your own work and eat your own food, don't end up telling people to sell it and help them get some money, I'm going to work after a long time." Just as they were arguing, Chuanwen stood at the door and shouted Said: "Go to the main room, the old boss wants to give you something." The guys entered the main room.Old Cui said: "Old master, you called us?" Zhu Kaishan said: "Sorry, I have delayed your play." Old Cui said: "I don't want to play." It’s not easy.” Chuanwen said, “Father, didn’t you want to give them something?” Zhu Kaishan said, “Look, if you don’t tell me, I almost forgot.” As he spoke, he took out the missing piece from under his buttocks. Throw a card to the ground and say, "You can't play without this card, can you? Go back and play." The guys were all stunned.Zhu Kaishan suddenly said sharply: "Don't think about it, I don't know what you guys did and said behind your back, this card has everything in it! Do you believe it or not?" The guys looked at each other in dismay.Old Cui stomped his feet and said: "Old boss, I can't beat you, I have completely convinced you, and I will obey you honestly from now on. What are you doing in a daze? Go to work!" In the old Han's courtyard, Xiu'er loaded the cart with corn stalks, and the cart was full.The prescription prescribed by the doctor in Harbin worked.Xiu'er no longer dreamed of passing on martial arts, her expression was normal, but she became much thinner. Han Laohai said: "Xiu'er, what are you doing?" Xiu'er wiped off her sweat and didn't speak. In Zhu Kaishan's soybean field, Xiu'er stopped the car and gathered the piles of corn stalks.Han Laohai watched silently, and said: "Xiuer, are you stupid? This is not our land!" Xiuer said: "No, this is my family's land, it is my father-in-law's land. Shuang is coming, I have to help Let father-in-law smoke frost." Han Laohai turned his head and looked at the distant fields, tears welled up in his eyes. At Zhu Kaishan's house, Chuanwen took a carriage and planned to go to town.Chuanjie walked into the yard and said, "Brother, what are you going to do?" Chuanwen said, "Go to the town and have a look, I don't believe you can't hire a job with money." Chuanjie said, "Brother, forget it." , at this time, there are no landed people who come out to work, and there are only a few migrant workers on the street, and Han Laohai recruits them all." Chuanwen said: "Huh? He didn't grow beans, so he doesn't need so many people right now!" Chuanjie said, "You think he's hired to work? They all play cards in the town, and Han Laohai is in charge of eating and drinking." Drink, everyone is so happy!" Chuanwen was so angry that he slapped the horse's buttocks and said fiercely, "This Han Laohai, it seems that he won't be finished unless he subdue us all. This But what should we do? Our father doesn’t care about it, it’s really hard to die!” Zhu Kaishan came out of the main room, heard Chuanwen complaining, and said dissatisfied: “Do I not care? Can you drag people here? Forget it, as much as you have, it’s just us people, let’s do whatever we want.” Chuanwen stomped his feet and said, "Oh! If I knew today, why bother? Crossing the river and crossing the sea. What is the plan?" Wen Ta Niang stepped out of the main room and said, "Boss, you can't say that, if we don't come out like this No, it’s been a long time since I’ve died! I’ve forgotten all about it? When I heard that I’m going to pass through the customs, you guys are so happy that you’re doing somersaults, and now you’re talking about this again, don’t curl your tongue!” Chuanwen was so angry that he went back to his room, lying on the kang panting heavily.The text said: "Sir, why are you angry? You are full of anger even if you are angry." Chuanwen suddenly got up and said, "Can you not be angry? You are about to lose your fortune!" Isn’t it the Han family’s mischief? Why don’t you let me try.” Chuanwen said: “You have a solution?” Nawen said: “Try it.” Chuanwen said: “How do you try?” Nawen said: "You don't need to ask. You can borrow ten yuan from Dad, and I can find a way." Chuanwen said, "What are you doing?" The text said, "Look at you, just borrow it." Chuanwen asked Zhu Kaishan to borrow money dubiously.Zhu Kaishan said to Chuanwen: "This child is doing things that make people puzzled. I can't give you the money if you don't explain it clearly." Then Wen walked into the room and said, "Father, just lend me ten yuan." Come on, don’t be reluctant, you heard clearly, it’s borrowing, not wanting, and I’ll pay you back tomorrow morning.” Zhu Kaishan said: “It’s not that you are reluctant, if you have serious needs, you can give it, but what are you going to do? ?” Nawen said: "Father, I haven't done anything for our family since I got married. Now it's time for me to show my face. I want Chuanwen to know what a biting dog doesn't show its teeth." He poked his head out from the back room and said, "Why, that Wen, are you going to bite someone?" Na Wen said, "Mom, I'm just making an analogy. Once." Zhu Kaishan said: "Okay, okay, I will trust you just once. His mother, give my daughter-in-law ten yuan." The taverns in Yuanbao Town were full of smog, like turtles in a bay.Han Laohai, Lao Suntou, and Zhang Baotou were playing mahjong and gambling money, and a group of day laborers were watching. Na Wen walked in, looked at the cards and said sarcastically: "Hmph, what kind of master do I think?" , there is no one who can play cards!" Han Laohai turned his head and glared at the text, saying: "Men are here to play, what are you doing here as a woman? There is no women's business here, so hurry up and get out!" The text said: "Why? I'll do it for me. Daddy, do you own the tavern? Even if you own the tavern, you can’t drive away customers!” Han Laohai said, “Didn’t you see we were playing cards?” Na Wen laughed and said, “You guys call this playing cards too Huh? I saw that there is no one in Yuanbao Town who can really play cards, they are all playing cards indiscriminately." Han Laohai became angry and said, "So you can also play cards? It's a small thing." Nawen said: "No Dare to say that you can play, but I have seen it, if you play it, none of you here will be an opponent." Han Laohai said: "The tone is not small, why don't you come up and try?" Nawen said: "Forget it, I have to go back, my father is waiting to drink. But if you really play it, it's not interesting, your grade is too low. Okay, let's go, watch you play cards and get angry, and get out of cards." Pai Moji has been around for a long time, and it's not such a trouble to have a baby." Turning around to leave.Han Laohai stopped him and said: "Don't go, you've ruined us for a long time and you're leaving now? I want to ask for advice." Na Wen said: "If you play two hands, you can play two hands." As he spoke, he replaced a player and shuffled the cards clumsily. Seeing her skill, Han Laohai smiled and said, "Slow down, we win or lose at will." Say, "I know." After eight laps, Na Wen kept losing again and again, not talking about a deal, but always firing. She stood up angrily and said, "I'm not lucky today, I'm out of money, so I won't play anymore." Han Laohai sneered Said: "I still think I'm a master. It turns out that it's an oil gourd. After all, I can't fight immediately." Na Wen said: "I still don't believe it. I will put the jewelry on and play two more." There was a lot of gambling there, but Zhu Kaishan's family was running around in a hurry.The text said: "You said where did she go and she hasn't come back yet, I'm so anxious!" Zhu Kaishan said: "Didn't she say where?" Wen Ta Niang said: "I've read it a long time ago. This daughter-in-law is a useless thing, and she will cause trouble sooner or later. There is also the jade book of the third child, who is clutching a newspaper all day long, talking with a small mouth, new ideas, what to do?" Liberate, relieve her mother's stinky feet! Two chopsticks are as long as they are, sooner or later they are leftovers." Just as he was talking, Yu Shu, who had a new haircut, walked in and said, "Ma'am, I haven't passed the door yet, so you just say that about me? From now on, my wife and I will fight a lot." Mrs. Wen said, "The ears are long!" Shut up and ignore her.Yushu teased his mother Wen and said: "The ears are not as long as your mouth. I sit at home and feel my ears warm. I think that the aunt is saying something wrong with me again. Come and take a look, as expected!" Chuanwen said: "Yushu, don't tease my mother, you don't know her temper? She, the more she likes the more she scolds, the more she doesn't like. She doesn't bother to say anything. What's the matter so late?" Yushu said: "Chuanjie has been so busy working on the cabinet these two days that he hit the back of his head. Let me tell you, he won't come back to work in the field these few days." One." Yushu said, "I heard it from outside just now, did sister-in-law come back?" Wen Ta Niang said: "I don't know where to tie this piece of waste material. The waste material is waste material, so you can build a fence." In the future, he will be an earth-shattering person." Chuanwen said: "Yu Shu, you accompany your bridesmaid, I will go out to find this piece of waste material, at least I can build a fence to prevent wild dogs or something." Said Stop and run out. 酒馆里的赌局继续进行着。那文狂劲上来，脱了外套挽了袖子，爷们似的咋咋呼呼，却更显得身段婀娜，风情万种，惹得大伙不时地拿眼睛瞟她。韩老海笑着说：“那文啊，再输你输什么？”那文喝下一盅酒，醉笑道：“有什么啊，再输我光着身子走出去。”酒馆里一片笑声。 那文又喝了一盅酒，说：“就玩一把了，我一个人赌你们仨，我和牌你们三家输，你们三家不论谁和都算我输，咱来大的，不许赖账，要立字据！”韩老海说：“来大的？你还有什么大的？”那文有些醉眼蒙眬笑着说：“我哪儿大你们不知道？”众人又大笑道：“光说大，谁看见了？”那文咯咯笑着说：“你们赢了就看着了。”韩老海说：“你真的拿你自己下注？”他面露红光，心里暗道：朱开山呀朱开山呀，你让我闺女丢丑，我今天就让你媳妇在全镇面前现眼。 那文说：“我可以立字据。你们呢？你们掂量掂量，我赌自己的身子，你们下什么注？可别叫镇上的爷们儿笑话。”韩老海两眼冒火说：“我赌四匹马！” 老孙头说：“我赌三头牛！” 张把头说：“我赌三间房！” 那文说：“那咱就立字据！”一回头对众短工说，“你们这些看眼的，想不想'铺'？不想'铺'的走人，别在这儿捡便宜。”大伙说：“怎么个'铺'法？”那文说：“都是秋后的蚂蚱，腿上哪还有点肉？这样吧，把你们东家答应的工钱翻两个番，愿意就留下来，不愿意走人。看样一个个长得都像个爷们儿，咱们就口头定约，行不？”大伙异口同声说：“行，就这么办！” 大赌开始了。那文醉醺醺地打三家，她不停地晃来晃去，时而皱眉，时而傻笑着。众人发出一阵阵的淫荡笑声，等着看好戏。可战来战去，众人渐渐傻了眼。韩老海直朝老孙头和张把头使眼色耍牌，那两人却苦着个脸光瞪眼。那文瞅在眼里一笑，起手摸了一张牌，刷地将面前的牌推倒，喊了声“和！”话音没落，又一下把字据攥在手里，念道：“韩老海输马四匹，张把头输牛三头，老孙头输房三间。对不起，这几张契约我先收了。”韩老海、张把头、老孙头三个玩家呆若木鸡，大汗淋漓，都在嘎悠嘴，却说不出话来。 那文把脸子冷下来，穿上自己的外套说：“明天我可要挨家收账了，该怎么办你们自己端量，我晚上听回话。忘了告诉诸位了，本人出身格格，刚过百日，老王爷就抱着我在桌上打牌，三岁的时候王爷就让我摸牌，四岁的时候老家院教我牌路，五岁的时候我就会打二十九路，两个色子比自己的儿子听话，一副牌上手摸三把，不用看我就知道它是什么，光码牌我就学了三年，抓起牌来，要幺鸡它不敢给我来二饼，要东风它不敢给我来红中，牌掉到地上不用看我知道反正，看下眼神我就知道你想和什么，论输赢银子拿车拉……和你们玩？这就算抬举你们了！” 那文说罢，轻声一笑走出酒馆。酒馆里死一般地寂静。众人望着韩老海，惶惶不知所措。韩老海的头耷拉下来，挥了挥手道：“不用看我，该怎么办你们就怎么办吧，我今儿个是一口咬到生铁了，认栽！” 一家人都等着那文吃饭，见那文摇摇晃晃地走进屋来，扶着门框嘻嘻笑着不说话。文他娘闻着了酒味，埋怨道：“怎么才回来？可伤了，你这是喝酒去了？”传文也冲她发起火来道：“知不知道家里找你找翻了天？一个个都急出了猴疮，闹了半天你去喝酒了！在哪儿喝的？”那文举着手说：“娘，我累了，今天的事以后再说。”她把三张纸给了文他娘说，“娘，你好好保管着，别让传文拿去揩屁股了，我得回去躺下歇歇了。”说罢转身回到自己屋里，关上了门。 文他娘擎着三张契约说：“这是三张什么纸？还拿着挺金贵的，他爹，我不识字，你看看。”朱开山接过契约一看，大惊失色道：“我的老天，她这是出去赌钱了，赢回来半个家当！”正说着，老孙头、张把头带着一伙人闯了进来。朱开山一愣道：“你们这是……”老孙头和张把头一个劲地哀求说：“开山大兄弟，高抬贵手吧，活不下去了……”大伙也一个劲哀求说：“求求你跟嫂子过个话吧，我们都输不起啊，我们都愿意给你们家打工，我们白干顶赌账还不行吗？”老孙头说：“老朱兄弟，我和张把头商量了，明天拉上百十人的队伍到你们家地里抗霜，那笔赌账就勾了吧。” 朱开山说：“我大媳妇和你们都有账？”老孙头说：“她一个人把我们都涮了，我们输惨了！”朱开山呵呵大笑道：“到底还是小看了这孩子！行了，你们的要求也不算过分，我就替她做主了。”众人千恩万谢道：“谢谢朱大哥，你要不答应我们上吊的心都有了。谢谢了。谢谢了。”一个个鞠躬如捣蒜地走了。大伙没走几步，朱开山大喝一声道：“都给我回来！”大伙惊呆了说：“你这是要反悔？” 朱开山笑了说：“怎么会呢？我朱开山是什么样的人你们还不清楚吗？把契约拿走吧，把韩老海的也带着给他，告诉他，我和他没账。” 文他娘拍着巴掌笑道：“天爷爷呀，杨排风抡着风火棍破了天门阵，这可是立了头份大功！”朱开山说：“她娘，赶快，今晚上的饭另吃，赶紧炒几个好菜，烫壶老酒，咱请媳妇上炕吃饭！”传文说：“爹，那文累了，我去把她扶来？”朱开山一挥手说：“不！不，你把她背来，我敬她三杯酒。”传文高兴地跑出去。 传文兴冲冲跑到屋里一看，那文正睡得酣畅。传文推着媳妇说：“文儿，醒醒，你是咱家的有功之臣，娘说你是杨排风大破了天门阵，给咱家立了头份功，咱爹让过去吃饭，要敬你三杯酒呢！”那文慵懒地说：“酒就不要喝了吧，你给我研墨吧，我好久没写诗了，现在上来了诗兴呢……”
