Chapter 23 Que name story

On the boat, the boat sailed. The boat is a small boat, with three cabins and a canopy of small palm leaves. In the cabins are countless military uniforms and four escorts in military uniforms.Everyone used gray cotton military uniforms as cushions, and those who sat there looked at the bow of the boat and rowed.The boat flowed with the water under the stroke of four oars.At the stern of the boat was a middle-aged boatman, wearing a blue cloth coat and blue cloth trousers, with a Hardman cigarette in his mouth, his two hairy hands grasped to the handle of the rudder, and his mind was only on the water.

The boat was going slowly—or rather fast, heading towards Chenzhou. Today's distance was only one-tenth of the distance.If you walk for five days, you can reach the ground. There are five days! When the ship was sailing, the horn was blown on the ship, and then all the ships loaded with soldiers, oil, pigs, and everything were fully moved, so this military ship also started, and when it started, the sound of the trumpet was heard, Because the meaning of sailing was remembered from the trumpet, everyone was happy.Joy is not without reason.When the army goes to a new place, it should be said that it is happy to change its defense.The merchant can hope that the goods will arrive as soon as the ship starts.The people on board had wine and meat to eat after the boat sailed.

The escorts in uniform on the ship were also happy.They laugh.Telling those crude jokes, laughing, laughing and talking again, I almost forgot that there was one person (one of the four deputy masters) who heard the three laughing, and still laughed when the three were not laughing. , just don't talk.He was alone, thirteen years old, and his small body was dressed in a long military uniform, which seemed out of proportion to his life.He seemed to be sitting on the hatch very pitifully, looking at the boatman in a daze, from the boatman to the water, from the water to the horizon.Water is a living stream, and when it flows with it, it reaches the sea. This person's thoughts also flow into his own sea.The sea is the home of water, but this man's sea is upstream, and he goes against the current.Thinking of home, he was at a loss.There is a mother, a sister, a younger brother and a younger sister in the family, and he was sent out to serve as a soldier with tears in his eyes. He was wearing an inappropriate military uniform and could only smile wryly.Thinking about it now, it seems like it has been several years, but in fact it was yesterday.

The military uniform is still the same, and the belt is still fresh, but I can no longer stay at home.It is not even possible to look at the street in front of the door.With distress biting his heart, he seemed ready to cry immediately. "Fourth young master, don't be homesick. There are many interesting places to go this time, which is more interesting than the city." This person was a servant of his family before, but now he is his leader. His name is Bingzhi. Seeing the sorrow of the old master, he expressed such simple comfort from the mouth of this simple man. "Don't call me Fourth Young Master, you are my boss!" He forced himself to say and laugh.

"Fourth young master, why do you say that, you are nothing more than the matter in front of me, and I will take care of it. You will be an official in a year or two. I want to call you the master, not just the young master!" Said the other two laughed.It seemed as if he could hear something close to sarcasm, but actually asking Bingzhi to say a witty remark was impossible, this person was too down-to-earth, that's all he could say.One of the smiling two people was named Lu Jun and the other Yang Pu. They were both from the same city. Although they knew each other, they had never been in contact with each other before.These two people have never even been to elementary school, but they are from Class A of the third grade of elementary school, so of course they met by chance.Now they are acquainted with each other. They are older than him and have been soldiers for a year. They know a lot about soldiers.Naturally, he should be polite to these colleagues. Since he is the young master, he is the same regiment leader and they are relatives, they should also be polite.However, when the two smiled, it reminded him of all the troubles he had suffered when he became a soldier.

He didn't make a sound anymore, just thinking about it. Who can guarantee what will happen in a year?One year, two years later, you can be promoted to platoon commander or company commander. It is possible to do it, but how will this year pass? He doesn't want an official, he just wants to transfer.It's fun to say, how can you indulge in freedom in the following places?He also does not want this freedom.Why is it that everyone else is studying in school, but I have to be a soldier?Why he wanted to go out was beyond his comprehension.There is no reason to go out.There is really no reason.Poverty at home is no excuse either.In the meantime, of course he forgot his own stubborn reason for not going out to study.

"How many days will it take to arrive?" "It will take five days," Bingzhi said. "It will take six days," Yang Pu said. "I guess it only takes four days and one morning shift." Lu Jun said. It turned out that everyone was guessing.Hearing that the day was uncertain, he was willing to arrive early.Arrive early, generally better.This is also a guess in his heart, but he actually has no idea where he is. What do you do here?He asked Bingzhi, and Bingzhi told him to fuck, to roll rolls on the fifth watch, to roll rolls at 8:30 p.m., and to roll rolls at noon.

"It's really hard to click the name three times!" "Not only the roll call, but also three times. When I got there, because there were so many troops, it was not easy to go out for the sake of dignity. When I went out, the military uniform was not neat, and I had to be beaten by the military police and punished by kneeling in the street." Yang Pu said, "I can finish eating the meat of the military police." It doesn't matter whether it's the meat of one gendarme or all the gendarmes.But the gendarme is hateful, and half of it can be seen from the hatred of this colleague.He just thought, if the ship is late, it will be better.I just feel that the military police are difficult to deal with, and it seems that if you arrive late, you can escape this level.This mood desire is close to the mood when playing truant.

Even if there were no military police, the three exercises would be enough.He has seen the exercises of soldiers, and he himself has been to a technical class to learn exercises for a year. Exercises are interesting, but they are very painful when you are serious.When he thinks of fuck, he wants the boat to stay on the road for a month, or take a boat like this for a long time. All he thinks about is this kind of thing, the young man doesn't know a thing, all the weight that is about to weigh on his head, whether it can be avoided by hiding his head or blindfolding, he has no idea at all.

"Let me ask you, Bingzhi, how many supplementary soldiers do we have in total?" "There is a series." "Then you are the company commander." "I don't count. I'm the platoon leader, and I'm in charge of the company commander. Buddy Yang is the chief, and I'm in charge. You and buddy Lu are San brothers, so you will be under the care of Brother Yang. " After listening to Bingzhi, he realized that Yang Pu was his boss, and because of this, he also understood Yang Pu's alias.As soon as Yang Pujing Bingzhi said it, he was busy talking about modest words there and there.He said his name was Jinting.Yang Jinting was a well-known cricket breeder in the city, and only then did he know that he was his boss.Of course, he respects his boss's knowledge of raising crickets. If a boss needs to show his skills to his subordinates, it is this Jinting old man who has already used his cricket raising to fight. The cricket's ability conquered the young master who had just started out.

He talked with his boss about crickets, and the talk was very interesting. Of course, he let go of the worries of traveling away from home a little because of this. The boat was moored and stopped by the river, an unknown pier and an unknown village appeared in front of my eyes.At this time, it was raining lightly, and the river was full of fog. When the boat came from a distance, the boat could not be seen at first, only the people on the boat could be heard singing.The more the song is sung, the farther it is, you know it is going to the boat, and the boat that is coming, not only the closer the singing, the stronger the singing, and you can hear the sound of letting go of the rope and pulling the oars before seeing the boat.Such a large fog is not common.The mist is like a kind of net, and the net covers the water, so the river bank seems to be wider. All the boats gradually approached. The row of boats was more than one hundred, and the wharf was small. The later boats had to moor their boats under the high cliff with no shore.However, the boat is connected to the boat, and although the rain is falling, the rain is light rain, which is irrelevant, so even if the boat is under the cliff and wants to go ashore, it is still possible.Not afraid of slippery, not afraid of trouble, from one boat to another, and finally landed on the shore, many people have done this. He only wanted to go ashore when he saw other people going ashore. His companions were Yang Jinting and Bingzhi, a total of three.Lu Jun was disqualified from going ashore because he was guarding the boat, but seeing that Lu Jun was unhappy, he agreed to bring the sugar cane back to the boat. When he got ashore, he saw dirty pigs and dogs walking on the dirty streets, which reminded him that he had been to this place before.And look at the passing pavilion, the appearance of some poor women collecting firewood and resting, and even thought it was their own countryside.However, the young man knew from his speech that this place was a hundred miles away from his hometown, because his voice was different. They went ashore to look at the street and to buy things: the street was already seen and admired, and they should buy things, so they followed Bingzhi into a shop and asked Bingzhi and his master to buy at official prices in official language. For beef and other miscellaneous items, Jin Ting asks for a fire to smoke, but he himself sits on a big wooden bench by the door and looks at the painting by Yang Zaixing on the wall. Seeing the painting, he was a little sad, because there were many paintings in the house, but they were put down together, and there were other paintings that were better and rarer than the paintings, and they were all put down. His melancholy was actually many other things. When he saw all this, he acted as if he wanted to have a word with this certain thing. From his point of view, everything seemed to put on airs of ignoring him. According to its original status, it is sad. He looked at everything, and this look was like saying, "I hate you." After arriving, I saw four big jars. The jars were in the left corner of the shop cabinet. They were wrapped in cotton cloth, with gold letters pasted on their stomachs, and the hats they wore were made of Baidianxi with a top and brim. These jars were smiling to him. It surprised him, because the decoration of the jar was exactly the same as that of a wine shop in a southern store on the main street of the city. This jar was too familiar. He approached the jar, and the boss, who was being entangled by Bingzhi, took a long fork and raised his head to pick up the dried fish on the roof. He looked back and saw him approaching the wine jar, thinking he was asking for wine, so he went to the jar. Loudly to the back room, shouting a person's name.The name seems to be "Aqiao", like calling a helper. If there is no answer, he shouts again. "Ah Qiao, girl, come on, help the vice master get some wine!" "Come here, my hand is hurt!" "faster!" "Yes, hurry up!" The inside agreed, seeming a little angry. The voice of promise.It was a woman's voice, a little girl's voice, as shrill as a flute. From the voice alone, it seemed that the man's face was handsome. However, he only felt that the voice was crisp and clear, which was pleasant to hear, but not pleasant. Understand that women should have evil intentions.Because she thought the woman's voice was nice, she forgot to say that she didn't want any wine. The woman ran out in a hurry, walked to the wine jar, and drank wine. This kind of wine is usually drunk when you call, but he can't drink it. The woman laughed when she saw that he didn't want wine.She said to her father, "Father, the deputy doesn't drink." Bingzhi spoke, and said: "Let me do it." He took the wine bowl in his hand, gurgled it down his stomach, and talked loudly after drinking it, saying that the wine was not bad, and he should take a catty back to the boat. " The woman asked whether to use gourds or bottles for wine, and Bingzhi said gourds. He saw the woman put the wine into the gourd, asked Bingzhi to count the money in his hand, then hugged the gourd, and drank a little wine according to Bingzhi's advice, but he didn't take his eyes off the face of this clever boy. .A pointed white face and the same pair of eyes caught his heart. He just looked at her, but the result of looking at her seemed to be very happy, but also a little bit sad. This woman was wearing a moon blue cloth, which looked freshly washed, and the corners of the clothes were all hard.A calico apron was placed over the clothes, which made the waist look very small.Big feet, blue cloth shoes simply embroidered with some flowers.A pair of long legs seem to jump when walking, which fits the antelope legs mentioned by Song of Songs.Behind him was a big braid, like a live snake, black and soft and swaying. What moved the young man's heart was the woman's words as well as her air.Seeing that he couldn't drink, seeing his happy smile made the deputy who was wearing military uniform suffer for the first day. His ideal wife should be such a woman.Needless to say, he couldn't understand his own desire at this time, so that he wouldn't say that he wanted this woman to be his wife. He looked at him in a daze, and when Bingzhi proposed to board the boat, he followed his boss back to the boat. Even though he was back on the boat, his heart still seemed to be beside the woman. Seeing the fog spreading in the river, he suddenly realized that tomorrow might not be fog-free (it is natural that the boat cannot be sailed when there is fog), so he had a lot of fun. Unexplainable joy. They ate under a clear oil lamp, and there was no shortage of spicy peppers on every dish they ate. The air-dried fish that Aqiao’s father on the shore ate at home was also reluctantly bought by Bingzhi, and he added a lot of green chili to stew it into a bowl of spicy fish. He was usually afraid of spicy, but now he was trying to pick fish with chopsticks have eaten. Lu Jun said, "The fish is really good." "Idiot, this was prepared by someone else, and the platoon leader asked for it!" Jin Ting said this, and took a big mouthful of spicy peppers with his chopsticks and sent them to his mouth. Bingzhi said, "If you go down here, there will be fish to eat. On the river, eating fish can make you tired." Fish to try. He said, "I don't believe it." "Of course I want you to believe me!" "I am willing to eat this kind of fish all day, for a year, without any other dishes." "So do I." The first one to say yes was the young him, the second was Lu Jun, and the third was Jin Ting. Bingzhi knew that these were all country people, and they were talking nonsense, so he didn't object too much. In fact, Bingzhi was really tired of eating fish in Xiajiang, and women, if women can also be described as eating, then he is close to a person who is tired of eating.Of course, you can't say this kind of thing to the underage fourth young master, so even if they want to mention that they can sleep with a woman all night (this is what Lu Yanzi likes to say), Bingzhi will not deliberately deny it up. It doesn't take long to go from fish to woman.Lu Jun, an idiot who couldn't go ashore before the meal was finished, asked about Jin Ting's arrival, and asked him if he saw a good girl up there, but Jin Ting didn't agree. "Fourth Young Master, have you seen it?" Lu Jun knew his identity, so he still called him Fourth Young Master. He said, "I've seen it." "OK?" He was silent. "Braids?" He remained silent. But in his silent situation of not answering with words, Lu Jun has already seen his opinion, and his innocent impulsiveness made the idiot want to roll on the deck. one While stuffing the fish into his mouth, he said vaguely that he must go ashore. "I must go. After I finish eating, I must go and have a look! Fourth young master, tell me, which one is it?" "Ask Bingzhi." Lu Jun asked Bingzhi, "Platoon leader, is there a good woman?" "You idiot, don't pour rice soup all over the deck!" "Yes, platoon leader. But tell me where." "I don't see you." "No, that fourth young master, where are you telling me?" "Be less crazy." Bingzhi said, because Bingzhi knew that this lunatic was hungry for women, and he was afraid that he would cause trouble. "Platoon leader, why can't we go and have fun? We don't play with others, it's still the same!" "Where is there a girl in this place? The fourth young master is joking." "No," he seemed to be helping the idiot, and he received a reply, "There is a woman, and it's in the Lunan grocery store, her name is Aqiao." "+Arguing  cowardly つ Yan  Yao ×   Zhongcang  collapse  care to play with fish ∧ My mother* came back with music, but he didn't even sue me—brother must go up to play." Bingzhi did not argue with his words and Lu Jun's words, and admitted that the idiot Xu went ashore to have a look, but he was invited by the idiot to go ashore together. Not at first, lest Bingzhi laugh.In the end, I felt that going ashore would bring inexhaustible benefits, so I still agreed. The second time they went ashore, it was almost dark, and they lit a section of waste cable and raised the fire high, and the two of them entered the dirty street of the small village. The ground is full of mud, and it is very slippery to walk on, and it seems that there are toads everywhere here and there, which makes people feel numb.Because he was close to being at a disadvantage, he thought of the reason for suffering, and accompanied others to see a woman, and he was so enthusiastic about his own affairs, even if it rained heavily, he would not refuse. However, in this matter, who's desire is bad, and who is accompanying whom, you will be able to understand immediately. The idiot Lu Jun, who pretended to be buying chestnuts, slammed into the door, entered the door but looked around.The woman found it among a pile of straw sandals.It's sorting the straw sandals.The idiot went over to buy straw sandals.When the woman saw the vice master coming, she stood up slightly startled. "This is a gadget, it's not worth it!" Lu Jun's words really hurt his self-esteem. What Lu Jun said was bad, but from the perspective of him under the lamp, it really looks more neat and beautiful.Lu Jun's words were almost unreasonable.The difference in concept between the two is naturally that one focuses on eating while the other focuses on watching.At the age of thirteen, apart from being comfortable to look at, what are the uses of women? It's really not something that his knowledge at this time can make him understand! Lu Jun, who was coming with all his strength, was obviously disappointed at this time, and wiped out all the wild skills he had prepared, just because the idiot didn't play wild but gave the woman a chance to stay for a long time. The woman heard the meaning of mocking herself in Lu Jun's words, so she lowered her head and remained silent.But then he raised his head and looked at the guide.She knew him, and at a glance, even if she didn't speak, it looked like she had said "you are here again".He was a little shy because of this, and wanted to borrow words.What can I borrow words for?In front of him is a pile of straw sandals, and in the pile of straw sandals is the girl. The only thing he can do is to buy straw sandals! She took what he wanted and helped him choose straw sandals, while Lu Jun, who was on the other side, became a really qualified helper and went gossiping with the boss. There are so many straw sandals, and there is no pair of suitable sizes to choose from. The woman was still looking for the small one in the pile of straw sandals, and put it at his feet for a competition. At this time, the woman was squatting in front of him, and when she saw that it didn't fit, she raised her head and laughed. "Your feet are not straw sandal feet, deputy." "It's just that your straw sandals are too big." He was embarrassed to let the woman choose again, so he went to find it himself.The two heads bent down and approached, he felt that he could take advantage of this to bite the girl's face, but he didn't dare. "Your feet really don't wear straw sandals!" "Then don't." "Really!" "Really," but, remembering that Aqiao will leave him soon, he said again, "Choose again." Ah Qiao's head also hurts, but she has a good personality but doesn't know how to get angry.She didn't know that he was deliberately teasing her, because the appearance of this gentleman also made her happy, so she just picked out the straw sandals and tried them out of nowhere, smiling. "Vice lord, where did you come from?" "From Shiyang Whistle." "I'm from Shiyang Whistle!" "That's a fellow countryman. But I'm from Zhenzhu City." "The deputy master is all from the township!" "Did you see many?" "I've seen a lot. My father lived in Zhenzhu for five years." "Are you alone?" "Hey, isn't my dad a human being?" "Yes! I said how many brothers do you have?" "Just me." "Did I just say you were the only one, and you didn't admit it!" Speaking of this, the couple all laughed, and of course no one paid attention to choosing the straw sandals. Over there, the idiot Lu Junzheng also talked about the past with the boss. He heard the boss said that he had lived in Zhendang for several years and that he knew the fourth young master's home, so Lu Jun called him from afar, saying, "Fourth young master, This boss is from our city!" The boss came over immediately, meaning to give a new salute to the old man, he invited him to sit down, and asked Ah Qiao to pour tea. "Master, when I was in the city, I served too little sir!" "Oh, then I don't know yet." "The old lady knows. My name is Huanggou. I have sold big cakes and oil for more than ten years." He seemed to have heard the name of the yellow dog before, but maybe the name was similar to "Flower Dog" and "Black Dog", so he thought it was very familiar. This yellow dog is more nostalgic than a dog. When he knew that the deputy in front of him was the young master of the old family, he poured tea and asked Ah Qiao to take melon seeds.Not to mention being polite.The melon seeds were delivered by Miss Aqiao immediately.Because Aqiao was the one who brought the watermelon seeds, he didn't like peeling watermelon seeds at first, so he reluctantly grabbed a handful of watermelon seeds, and like a gentleman, he put them in his mouth and peeled them one by one. After finishing her work, Ah Qiao crossed her feet and leaned against the counter, watching the young deputy talking to her father, she just looked at the deputy without saying a word. "Why is the young master wearing the vice master's clothes?" "Now he's going to serve in the army." "I don't want to be a soldier or enter an army school," A-Qiao answered, and what she said was cute. "It's a soldier." He said, "I don't study, so I'm a soldier!" "Soldiers have soldiers, young master, you are a literary figure. If you don't study, you will be a county magistrate in the future." "The boss is right," Lu Jun said, meaning that the boss underestimated the soldiers, and you can tell from what he added. "I am the soldier!" "Vice lord, you are a general in the future, and you will be the head of the army." "That's right, I'm going to be an overseer, and I'm going to ask you to be a military adviser!" This future warlord and military adviser, the next thing is a lot of nonsense, but the county magistrate has been forgotten.The magistrate saw Aqiao's eyes, and Aqiao smiled slightly. He thought she was nice and cute.She thinks he is a man of status, a young master, and a friend. ………… Return to the ship.Lu Jun's two pockets were filled with chestnuts, peanuts and melon seeds.Lu Jun came to treat guests, but in fact it was given to the fourth young master by the boss, and Aqiao took it out of the jar. Jin Ting asked, "Have you seen it?" The idiot didn't answer, he grabbed the peanuts and scattered them all over the deck. If an idiot were to tell what he saw, he couldn't tell except peanuts and chestnuts.The idiot wants to be accompanied, but in the end it is just an empty trip with him.If it wasn't for something to eat, the idiot would still scream when he came back! When he returned to the cabin, he thought of many personnel matters.The strangeness of the world gradually made him feel a little bit.Because of this, he thought of his family's past, his own future, the relationship between the ship and himself, and the relationship between Aqiao and her father, who had probably gone to bed in the street on the bank, to himself.This young man with delicate nerves couldn't sleep for a long time, and suffered from insomnia for the first time.
