Chapter 6 Section 5: The conflict caused by a box of yellow and red plums

For this matter, two flowers have to bloom, each representing a branch, starting from the person who was beaten. When I was in the village in the city like a blindfolded donkey, circling around the chessboard-like village, the artist walked into the hot and sour noodle shop in Chongqing. The hot and sour noodle shop is the painter's favorite place to go besides my rented house.During that time, I always suspected that the painter fell in love with that beautiful Chongqing beauty. Every time I read the very complicated content from the eyes he looked at that girl, but the painter denied it.

The painter would often say: "Why did such a beautiful girl find such a boyfriend?" The boyfriend of the Chongqing beauty spoke a mouthful of vinegary Mandarin, and he was almost a head shorter than the Chongqing beauty.Sometimes, when we were eating hot and sour noodles, the artist saw the man make an intimate move towards the beautiful woman in Chongqing, and his eyes had a look of pain. The tall and beautiful Chongqing beauties must have made the painter admire and admire.Once, the artist and I were having dinner at a hot and sour noodle shop, and at the next table were two men with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks. They watched the beauty of Chongqing bend down, scoop up sweet potato flour from a bucket, and raised her round and plump buttocks, which were wrapped In tight jeans.They sucked their saliva and said quietly: "It's a pity that such a beautiful woman should not be a prostitute."

The painter heard it, he stood up, pointed at the man with mischievous eyebrows angrily, and scolded: "Say it again!" The two men were terrified. They didn't even eat the hot and sour powder, so they fled the shop in desperation. The beauty from Chongqing came in without knowing it, and asked with a pair of confused eyes: "What's the matter? What's the matter? What's going on?" The painter said lightly: "It's nothing, they don't speak human language, they are animals." Years later, when we talked about the time in the village in the city, I asked him if he fell in love with the beauty of Chongqing. He still refused to admit it, but I could see a trace of sadness and melancholy in his eyes.We were very poor at that time, and we dared not talk about love extravagantly.When we feel that we are qualified to fall in love, love has already left us.Our faces are old, and our hearts are even older.

Chongqing beauty is a beautiful and kind girl that we have rarely met these years. At that time, we often called this beautiful and kind-hearted Chongqing belle's boyfriend a "gopher mouse" behind our backs. I only knew that the painter was jealous of the "gopher mouse", but I didn't expect that there would be a big fight between them. That night, the artist ordered a bowl of hot and sour noodles as usual. After eating, the artist took out his own yellow and red plums, put them on the table, took out one, and lit it.Most of the time, the painter is unwilling to take out Huang Hongmei from his pocket. He has a good face and has a strong self-esteem. For some reason, he actually took out a four-yuan pack of Huang Hongmei that night, and put it on the table.Just because of this pack of low-grade cigarettes, the two clashed.

The painter looked at the beauties in Chongqing and said, "I heard that the girls there are all very beautiful, isn't that true?" The beauty from Chongqing said modestly: "There are beautiful girls everywhere, and there are ugly girls everywhere. The girls there must be good too." The painter said again: "You are so tall, I just like tall girls." The beauty from Chongqing said: "You are taller, you should be 1.8 meters. You are so handsome, and your girlfriend must not be bad. Let's take a look sometime." The painter laughed at himself and said, "Where do I have a girlfriend, you can be my girlfriend, okay?"

"Okay." The Chongqing beauty also said with a smile. This was originally a joke between the two, and it was harmless, but these words were overheard by the "gopher mouse" who had just walked in the door. The "ground mouse" is very short, but he has low self-esteem in front of Chongqing beautiful women. If they don't talk about height, which is a very sensitive topic for the "ground mouse", there will be no later conflicts. "Gopher Mouse" had a sullen face, which made his already long face look even more out of proportion. He said coldly, "What's wrong with being tall? Everyone who is tall is stupid and poor."

Now it was the artist's turn to lose his face. The words of the short man with a gun and a stick made his face grow longer.He said, "Why do you accuse Sang and scold Huai?" "Mouse" turned around viciously, stared at the painter and said, "I'll point, I'll scold, what do you want?"He lowered his head and saw the Huang Hongmei that the artist put on the table, picked it up and threw it on the ground, and stomped on it: "This kind of low-grade cigarette, our dogs don't smoke it." Like all artists who are not yet famous, the painter has a good face, is very noble, and is very conceited. Although he is really poor, his self-esteem supports him and he does not want others to say that he is poor.Poverty is not an honorable thing after all, and this is not the "Cultural Revolution".The painter turned pale with anger, but he didn't know how to scold. He said seriously: "Dogs don't smoke in the first place."

"Gopher Mouse" didn't understand this sentence, and his cultural level couldn't understand it. He thought the painter was calling him a dog, so he said aggressively: "You are a fucking dog. You wait, I will repair it tonight." You." Then he walked out. The Chongqing beauty has been watching all this in amazement, not knowing what to do.Seeing her boyfriend leave, she said to the painter, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. You should go quickly, he's gone to call someone." The painter could have escaped completely, and he also thought that the boyfriend of the beautiful woman in Chongqing was going to call someone, but in front of this beautiful girl, he could not escape. Show your cowardice in front of you.Every man in front of a beautiful girl, like a frog after the rain, inflates the air bag under his neck to make himself look mighty and strong.

The painter bragged to the beautiful woman in Chongqing, "If he wasn't your boyfriend, I'd punch him and make his face bloom." The beauty from Chongqing pushed the painter and said, "Go away, it's not good to fight." The painter was pushed down the steps by the beauty from Chongqing, and just after he lifted his legs and walked a few steps, he saw a "gopher mouse" running in front of him. "Gopher Mouse" moved quickly with its short legs, as if rolling over against the ground. Behind him were several equally thin men.They were dark-skinned and fierce-eyed.They beat and kicked the painter around, and the painter who had never fought before was knocked to the ground. He writhed on the ground, and kicked his defenseless head several times.

The Chongqing beauty rushed out from the shop, she threw herself on the painter, and shouted loudly: "Don't hit me, don't hit me anymore." The thin men stopped punching, Chongqing beauty got up, and the pants were covered with dust , she scolded the "ground mouse": "You are a fucking son of a bitch, my mother misunderstood you." There are too many people with nothing to do in the village in the city. As soon as there is a fight here, a large group of people happily gather around, smiling, pointing and commenting. The "ground mouse" was cursed by the beauty of Chongqing, so he slapped the beauty of Chongqing in the face because of embarrassment.The slap was so loud that it overwhelmed all the noise and made everyone quiet.

The beauty from Chongqing looked down at the "ground mouse" coldly, and said, "If I don't break up with you today, I won't be human." According to the plots of those pulp novels, after the Chongqing beauty broke up with the "ground mouse", she became the painter's girlfriend, and the two fell in love with each other and swore to each other forever.Sadly, this is life.I also imagined that such a plot would appear, but after all, such a plot did not appear. The hot and sour noodle shop in Chongqing was closed shortly after the fight.I asked the neighbors next door, and they said that "gopher mice" often came to pester Chongqing beauty, and Chongqing beauty couldn't bear the disturbance, so they moved away.As for where it moved, no one knows. "Gopher Mouse" once met the painter at the alley, and they had a quarrel again. his rival.When I ran in front of them, I heard this arrogant bastard say that he wanted to use money to kill the painter, and then use the money to paste a wreath or something. A painter is good at painting, but not good at scolding, and his scolding words are also polite, just like elementary school students writing narratives, they always like to use some gorgeous words.Don't you know that you can't use idioms in scolding, you have to use vulgar words, which are strong and wear-resistant, and the sentences are powerful, and the knife can see blood. Facing the arrogance of the "gopher mouse", I finally couldn't bear it anymore, and I cursed: "Fuck you, what's wrong with being rich, being rich is also a life, I will still strangle you to death." I saw a few chairs in the restaurant next door. If there was a fight today, I would pick up the chairs and smash them on the head of the "gopher mouse". I ran in the ravines and fought with my friends since I was a child. I also learned martial arts when I was in college, and I have developed a solid body.I am different from painters. The painters who grew up in the greenhouse have thin and long hands, like chicken feet, weak and weak, which is a waste of 1.8 meters tall. "Gopher Mouse" looked at me with knife-like eyes, and finally got scared. He bluffed and said, "Just wait, I won't let you go." Then he turned and left. In those days, when I went out with the painter, I wore a kitchen knife on my body to give myself courage.But many days passed, and the "gopher mouse" didn't bother us, so it can be seen that he was just scaring us. The painter offended the "gopher mouse", but only got a beating; while the "gopher mouse" offended the painter, but caused endless "future troubles". Why does the "gopher mouse" have so much money?How did he get his money?What does he do?
