The room suddenly fell silent, it was not late at night, so there were no crickets in the stove, but Chen Sheng was eager to hear something.If only the dust in the air could sing, he could wave his hand at any time and make them sing.Once Chen Sheng shifted his thinking to a certain direction, it was difficult to take it back, just like a horse suddenly became hairy, and it could only run wildly and uncontrollably.From this, Chen Sheng thought why the dust can't pronounce?Since it can exist in the air so widely, it must be impressive.It has no reason to enjoy the sunshine as much as people do, but it just creates dirt and trouble for people.Their long flight has exhausted many housekeepers. The women almost always carry a rag to wipe the dust attached to various objects every day.Chen Sheng felt that if there was no dust, people wouldn't need to wash and bathe.Chen Sheng heard people say that men are turbid, while women are made of water.He thought that the dust falling on the woman like a strand would of course confuse the water, and the mixed water would be undrinkable, so dust is an invisible killer that suffocates women.He even felt that Yang Xiu's illness was caused by the dust. Every day she went to the warehouse to rummage through the broken pieces. The dust there was so big that the water on her body was soon muddied, so she kept coughing and couldn't gain weight.Chen Sheng thought of this and cursed angrily: "Damn dust!" At this time Fu Yucheng stretched out a hand to pull Chen Sheng: "Get up, Chen Sheng, the ground is too cold, don't get sick from sitting .” Chen Sheng still sat still, because his thoughts were still on the dust.He punched himself with his hands and said: "I want to tell God how bad you dust is, let it send a flood and wash you all away!" When Chen Shengyi was filled with anger and counted the dust, Fu Yucheng's woman kept Standing aside and crying.Fu Yucheng then said: "Don't cry, okay? What does it sound like to invite the neighbor?" The woman said: "You don't keep promises, why are you here again?" "I changed my mind." If I want you, I won’t have the strength to want you again. I’ll feel like I’ve eaten flies.” “Even Chen Sheng doesn’t want me anymore, do you think I’m still a woman now? "The woman said aggrievedly, "I even took a shower on purpose." "It's the big head who dragged you down." Fu Yucheng said, "Did Chen Sheng really not touch you?" "He just Give me a hug and then I don't want it anymore." The woman said Qiqiaiai.

"Oh——" Fu Yu shouted as if his hand had been cut by a knife, "Is it with clothes on or naked?" "Naked." The woman said sadly. "Oh——" Fu Yucheng yelled again in grief, "You are so close to him, I don't want to touch your tits anymore!" "My tits are boring, they're all deflated—" the woman Still crying from the bottom of his heart, "I'd rather be dead than alive. What's the difference with a ghost? I'm not as good as a ghost. Ghosts can go wherever they want." Chen Sheng had already reached the final stage of thinking about dust. , it was a kind of exhaustion after reaching the limit, because the powerful darkness made him unable to feel the light of the sky, the monstrous torrent that he longed for most in his heart was hopeless, Chen Sheng was frustrated and irritable, he roared and shouted yell.The sound was obvious at night, and he was screaming at the top of his lungs, so the sound was as powerful as the plague, and it quickly spread outside and flew to the neighbors' houses.The poker table at the neighbor's house had just been set up, and several old poker players were about to take their seats one by one. When they heard Chen Sheng's terrifying cry, they all walked out the door involuntarily.One person said: "Look at Chen Sheng, he is too aggrieved by himself, let him watch the cards." Another said: "Tonight, let's put four kings in a deck of cards, and let Chen come to see the cards." Sheng, look at the king more, be happy." The four of them filed into Chen Sheng's courtyard.One of them pointed to the blurred grass in the shadow and said: "Sheng Chen is about to finish weaving the grass, maybe he won't miss Yang Xiu any more, and he won't suffer from the demonic disease." It'll be fine," said another.

They were about to open the door, but Fu Yucheng took the first step, came out of the room, and blocked them from the door.Fu Yucheng stammered, "I'm here to call Chen Sheng's house for dinner, just in time for him to fall ill. Don't worry, I'll watch over him here, and he'll be fine in a while." Several poker players suddenly realized They all knew that Chen Sheng often went to Fu Yucheng's house for dinner recently, so it was not surprising.They exchanged a few words and went back to play cards.Of course, if Chen Sheng hadn't come, they wouldn't have mixed four kings into a deck of cards.

Chen Sheng finally stood up from the ground, he felt numb after yelling.He was thirsty at first, so he skillfully scooped up a scoop of cold water and drank it in the dark.As soon as I finished drinking, I felt that my urine was swollen, so I hurried out of the room to pee.Standing in front of the fence, Chen Sheng poured a long bubble of urine on a sunflower.Sunflower shrank her head in the dark night, looking shivering.Chen Sheng gave a jolt after urinating, and his mind suddenly cleared up a lot.He looked up at the sky, and half of the milky white moon was lying down like a smooth, fat pig. Chen Sheng thought that its meat must be so fresh that he couldn't put it down, and he felt hungry.When he lowered his head, Fu Yucheng led his woman out, and Chen Sheng felt that the woman's pitiful appearance was very similar to that lonely sunflower that had just been watered by urine, her whole body had lost her vitality, without any color at all.

"Chen Sheng, let's go eat at home." Fu Yucheng said.Chen Sheng let out a "huh", and then walked out behind them.At this time, the neighbors shouted loudly, and one person's laughter was as prominent as the huge eddy created by the sturgeon on the river. Chen Sheng couldn't help but said, "Who is so happy? It must be caught." King!" Chen Sheng entered Fu's house to see Fu Datou first.Fu Datou had a completely new look today, wearing a brand new set of beige vest and shorts, exuding a fragrance all over his body.When Chen Sheng kissed him, he whined and scratched Chen Sheng's face with his fleshy hands. He missed Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng said lovingly: "We are so clean today, who bathed us?" One of Fu Datou's sisters said: "My mother did it for me." Your clothes don’t even have a fly dropping on them, so you’re going to marry a new wife, right?” Fu Datou was still whining, like a clamoring frog by the water.However, it is not much easier for a frog to marry a daughter-in-law than to pay a big head, because the beautiful dragonfly and the leisurely red fish are either in the air or at the bottom of the water, and they are all out of reach. Fu Yucheng's family even made dumplings.The three-covered curtain dumplings that had been wrapped were placed neatly on the tables and chopping boards in the kitchen, and Fu Yucheng's eldest daughter squatted in front of the stove to boil water.Originally, she had already boiled the water as instructed, but her parents didn't come back, so she didn't dare to order dumplings in advance.In order to keep the water boiling, she continued to add firewood, so that most of the boiling water turned into steam and flew away, so she had to add a few scoops of cold water to boil again.She saw her mother's eyes were red and swollen, and she didn't know why she was crying, so when her mother complained that she boiled the water away, she kept silent, fearing that any word of explanation would lead to her mother's scolding.

When Chen Sheng saw the dumplings in the kitchen, his stomach felt restless like a mouse. He couldn't help but shouted excitedly: "Is today the fifteenth day of the eighth month?" The fifteenth day of the month." Chen Sheng blinked, shook his head and said, "How can there be dumplings if it's not a festival?" "Not only dumplings, but also wine." Fu Yucheng said to Chen Sheng, "You just let the dumplings go." Let's eat and drink." Chen Sheng rubbed his hands, let out a loud "Hey drink", and sighed: "There are still such moist days!" After the first pot of dumplings came out, Chen Sheng couldn't wait to pick up one and throw it away. into the mouth.The dumpling was hot, he didn't dare to chew it, so he quickly swallowed it into his stomach.As soon as the dumplings fell, he regretted it, thinking that it was wasted, and he didn't even taste the fragrance.The second dumpling did the same thing, and because it was still hot, he swallowed it with just a puddle of oil.This time he regretted more regrets, feeling that he was too reckless in treating dumplings.Chen Sheng learned his lesson this time, he planned to let it dissipate the heat before eating, so he took the full plate of dumplings outside to cool.As a result, there was no wind outside, and the veil-like moonlight undulated slightly on the ground. Chen Sheng could only blow the wind from his lungs.Holding the plate, he lowered his head and blew the wind with his mouth, which made his cheeks sore, and the snot rushing out of his nostrils.Fearing that he would spoil the dumplings, Chen Sheng quickly turned his head and freed up a hand to blow his nose away.At this time, the dumplings on the top layer were no longer hot, so Chen Sheng put the plate on the ground, and then sat on the ground himself, guarding the plate and eating.After eating a few times, Chen Sheng finally figured out what kind of filling it was. It turned out to be Chinese cabbage mixed with a little leek, very fresh.
