But I saw this man stood up, wiped the stool, waved to He Qi, motioning to sit down, then went to the charcoal stove, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for He Qi, and said warmly: "Meeting is fate."
, I, Zhang Mao'er, have been wandering around this area since I was a child. I was given a bite of food in the east and a piece of cake in the west. I grew up eating hundreds of meals, relying on just one word of letter. Now my husband is in trouble, and I am Zhang Mao'er.
When you see this, why don't you help me? If you join me, hundreds of families will eat for nothing."
Look at what he said, he is really a good person!
He Qi felt deeply about this and could not express it in words, so he had to pick up the tea cup with both hands, toast a cup of tea, and express his gratitude. However, Zhang Mao'er raised his hand to stop him and said: "Sir, you are polite. I am Zhang Mao'er."
I have settled down, I haven’t studied, and I can’t afford this great gift. If you are serious about it, just remember it. You are a talented person, not just a thing in the pool. If one day, when you are prosperous, and you see me Zhang Maoer again on the roadside, I won’t be too shabby.
, just say a few words."
He Qi first smiled, and then nodded heavily towards Zhang Mao'er.
"Sir." Seeing He Qi's behavior, the stall owner seemed to have something to say. He hesitated again and again, but finally didn't say it.
"Wang Lao Er, I, Zhang Mao'er, have ordered Mr. Wang's wontons. It's no use even if I'm here." Zhang Mao'er patted the table and said firmly, then looked at the waiter and urged: "San'er,
Hurry up and serve the wontons, sir, if you delay me, I’ll slap your ears!"
"Alas~" The stall owner glanced at He Qi, turned his head and sighed.
The wontons were to be cooked fresh. While waiting, while drinking tea, Zhang Mao'er poked and asked: "Sir, the noodles look raw, where did they come from?"
He Qi paused and said, "I just came back from Yingguo."
Zhang Mao'er asked curiously: "Then why is that so?"
He Qi gave it a try. Lies also need time to brew, and said deliberately: "Well, it's a long story~"
"Oh?" Zhang Mao'er asked: "What's wrong?"
"I arrived in Pingjin yesterday. As soon as I got off the boat, a rickshaw came up to me. I didn't think much about it and got on it. Unexpectedly, the rickshaw went further and further away. They were working together to steal money. There were accomplices in front of me.
I waited with my head, all the gifts and money had been plundered, and everything was completely white. It was really clean." He Qi tried his best to twitch his face, as if he had really been robbed, and it was as if he had been robbed, leaving no room for doubt.
"Why are you here in Peiping again?" Zhang Mao'er continued to ask.
"Beiping!!" He Qi fell into a trance. Although he had been prepared in his heart, when he heard the word "Beiping" from Zhang Mao'er's mouth, he was still shocked for no reason. The co-author is really coming to the Republic of China!
, I just don’t know what year or month it is, but looking at the clothes of the people on the street, I guess it was not long after the Xinhai Revolution, and they still had a lot of braids.
The establishment of a lie means the birth of another lie. Faced with Zhang Mao'er's probing inquiry, He Qi calmed down for a moment, thought for a moment, and said sadly: "I was born in Nanyang, and because of the death of my parents, I
After traveling around the world, I remembered what my parents told me before leaving, that I wanted to return to my roots and recognize my ancestors, so I returned home. Unexpectedly, I was robbed as soon as I arrived in Pingjin. I suddenly remembered that I knew someone when I was in Yingguo.
, I have been friends with him for many days. He once said that his family lives in the south of Beiping City, so he traveled on a starry night and came here to seek refuge. However, it has been a long time and I can’t remember clearly. I couldn’t find anyone for a while, so I wandered here for a long time.”
Zhang Mao'er said: "Sir, do you have any relatives or friends? If you can remember more clearly, maybe you can help me find someone."
At this moment, the stall owner personally filled a bowl of wontons, brought it to He Qi, and said meaningfully: "Sir, be careful to eat them carefully, they are hot."
However, He Qi had already fainted from hunger, so he didn't understand the meaning of the words at all. He just said: "Thank you" and wolfed it down, making others laugh. By the time Fengjuanyun left half of the bowl,
After eating the wontons, He Qigang said melancholy: "My ancestral home is Jiuzi, Anhui Province. I have lived in Nanyang since I was a child. I may have some distant relatives at home, but I don't know them anymore. Now I am alone in Peking."
"Hey~" Zhang Mao'er sighed matter-of-factly, but inadvertently smiled slyly. Seeing that He Qi was very hungry, he waved for a bowl of tofu bread and said: "Since Mr. has nowhere to go now, this
It's getting cold again. If you don't mind it, sir, you can come to my house for a few days to rest and then make plans. You will definitely have nowhere to put your talents to use. After these few days, you can take the time to look around for suitable jobs."
"How is this good?" Although He Qi was moved, he still declined and shouted to the waiter San'er: "The tofu bread should be sweet, not salty."
"Okay!" The third waiter responded.
"Here's something. A good man will do his best to send Buddha to the West. As long as he doesn't mind the shabby life, you can come and live there." Zhang Mao'er said generously, fearing that He Qi would disagree, but he didn't know that he had nowhere to go for the time being.
He Qi was already convinced to go. Thinking that he would be well rewarded in the future, he said: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for bothering me."
"Don't bother! Don't bother!" Zhang Mao'er smiled slyly, already paying attention in his heart, and said goodbye to He Qi, who was immersed in eating tofu. He has thin skin and tender meat, and looks good. He is also a rare cultural person who has drank foreign ink.
, he kept nodding his head, obviously very satisfied.
After finishing breakfast and filling her stomach, He Qi followed Zhang Mao'er to his residence smoothly. However, he did not go to the city, but lived in the south of the city. He walked south along the bluestone road to the end, far away.
I saw a low-rise residential area, which was no different from the shantytowns of later generations.
Thinking that Zhang Mao'er was not rich, and heard that he grew up eating a lot of food, it made sense to live in this place. He Qi had no doubts at first, but as he walked further in, He Qi had no reason.
I feel heart palpitations, and I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it.
First of all, this place is really strange. It is very quiet, eerily quiet. There are many shacks but very few people. There is not a single child playing in the alley. After walking for a while, a burly man with a full beard suddenly appears at the corner.
He stared at the big copper bell eyes, full of vigilance. He couldn't help looking at He Qi, and asked in a low and rough voice: "Zhang Huazi, I haven't seen you for a few days, where have you been?"
Zhang Mao'er glanced back at He Qi and said with a smile: "Isn't this just a guy who is just trying to make a living by wandering around, and he has wandered into your territory?"
The big man said again: "Can we have a banquet at noon, meat or vegetarian?"
Zhang Mao'er said: "I don't dare to spend money on you. I just had a meat meal a few days ago and almost lost my teeth. Today, the vegetarian food will be fine. It's just picked from the field and it's fresh. I won't get sick or have any trouble after eating it."
, I’m sure I can even dance a few elegant words!”
"Yo!" When the man heard this, he immediately became interested. He glanced at He Qi again, but he was a little unsure, as if he was worried about something, and said hurriedly: "Leeks can easily clog your teeth. That thing
If you don’t want to eat it, it will still grow after you cut it.”
Zhang Mao'er patted his chest and said, "After eating the big white radish that has been cooked in the pot, pull out the radish and bring out the mud. Every time you pull it out, it's accurate."
"Okay, come in." The man squinted his eyes and opened a door.
"Sir, come in, it's a big place here, it's best to take a nap for a few days." Zhang Mao'er said, half of his body had already stepped through the door, and he greeted He Qi to come in with a smile.
No matter how stupid He Qi was, he realized at this time that this door was easy to get in but difficult to get out, and thought to himself: "Zhang Mao'er is definitely not a good guy. He was deceived by this guy pretending to be a good person." It was just that guy.
The big man came around behind him at some point and blocked the escape route. He Qi looked around and at the critical moment, he said: "Brother Zhang, you go in first, I'll go to the toilet and I'll come back later."
"It's inside, go in!" The big man was doing this business and saw a lot of people. He Qi's little thoughts were seen through by the big man at a glance. Before He Qi could get away with it, he pulled He Qi by force.
"Please" entered the door, forced a pill into He Qi's mouth, and was immediately locked into a dark room with no windows on all sides. The stench inside was unpleasant, so it was not a place to be alone.
Immediately afterwards, He Qi heard the conversation between Zhang Mao'er and the big man in the yard. Suddenly a chill hit him, from the soles of his feet to his forehead. He wanted to shout for help, but he couldn't shout a single word and became mute.
"Master Xiong, this radish is not an ordinary radish. It has been drunk with foreign ink. Think about it, when I did that, a few foreign words came out of my mouth. Those young men who are used to eating clear water radish are not allowed to snatch it.
Just spend a lot of money to buy it back."
"That's true, but there are rules in the industry. You can pay whatever you want. It doesn't matter if it's a radish or a radish. They're all radishes, and they're worth twenty yuan. Besides, they have to be kept for a few days to avoid running out of food.
Pick it clean and cause trouble."
"Master Xiong, you can rest assured. I understand the rules. I have inquired about them clearly. I will definitely pick them cleanly this time. Besides, it's not a radish, so I don't dare to come here to get it. I don't have the life to spend money, and I don't make the money either."
Money to spend.”
"Humph! It's best to wait a few days before taking action, and then you can come and collect the five dollars."
"Okay!"
“The labor and capital were actually sold by human traffickers!!”
"Sold!!"
"It's worth twenty-five dollars!"
"CNMD!!"
Immediately after the drug took effect, a wave of sleepiness rushed straight to his forehead, and He Qi fell asleep.
