Ah Q left overnight.
Having offended the cruel local emperor Mr. Zhao, staying in Weichuang for one more minute would be a disaster.
After the night cruise, we crossed the Weichuang River pier in the middle of the night.
The boatmen who came down from Danan Mountain carried both passengers and cargo on the same boat. There was no distinction between cargo and passenger cabins. Seasonal vegetables, game, dried goods and local products were piled among the crowd, and sleeping passengers were sleeping in the cargo pile.
The Ruoye River flows to the Weichuang River section, and merges into dozens of small and large streams along the way, making it a vast ocean.
It was the spring flood season, the water was huge, the flow was very fast, the wind was blowing and the waves were blowing, and the six or seven feet long sailboat was like a fallen leaf drifting on the water, swaying.
Ah Q got on the boat.
Also on the boat were several villagers selling vegetables and fish.
They looked at Ah Q and laughed, and someone said, "Ah Q, why did you get a new injury on your face? Was it Wang Hu, Little D, or was it scratched by Mother Wu?"
Someone ridiculed: "That little widow of Mother Wu is really too smart. If Ah Q is caught, his face will be full of fragrance!"
Someone else said: "Ah Q, you are really seeking death. Wu Ma's salary is one thousand a month, which is as good as a strong man. Do you think the Zhao family's money is not money, but Wu Ma is the one who can make it in a day? The toad wants to eat swan meat." , this time it’s just a broken tooth!”
Ah Q closed his eyes to rest and was too lazy to pay attention.
A few fish jumped out of the bamboo basket. They worked for a while, caught them back, closed the lid tightly, and returned to the topic.
"Ah Q, since your job has been taken away by Mr. Zhao, how can you still earn food? It's better to shave off your hair and go to the nunnery to join the nuns. The old and the young are all yours, and the Zhao family won't beat you."
They all started laughing and were very happy.
Ah Q also smiled and said, "Why didn't I think of it? If I go to the city now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance. If you guys have this idea, you might as well get tonsured and become a boy-in-law, so as not to be buried in the wind and rain." .”
Everyone was talking nonsense for a while, and they couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they saw that Ah Q, who came to the city, indeed had some dignity and was no longer as shabby as before.
Wang Hu's father said apologetically: "Ah Q, what happened yesterday is also my fault. If I hadn't accidentally bumped into your good deeds by sending grain and bullets to the backyard, Mother Wu might have agreed to it, or at least she wouldn't have done it. When trouble breaks out, after all, this kind of thing will cause a woman to suffer a lifetime loss. - It will cause you to suffer a lot of twists and turns!"
As he spoke, he took out some dried fish from the basket and apologized to Ah Q.
How could Ah Q want it?
He was full of the delicious bacon, but couldn't stand the smelly dried fish.
The people next to him actually became a little excited.
In the eyes of country people, dried fish is a valuable ingredient. They are usually sold in the city and are reluctant to eat it themselves.
Ah Q refused to accept the good things given to him for free. This is not normal human nature.
The conversation turned to Ah Q's entry into the city.
Zhao Baiyan was among them. He had always been fawning over Mr. Zhao and told Ah Q that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes. At this time, he also became warm to him. When he heard that Ah Q was coming to the city to treat leprosy, he introduced him: "The Western Medical Ward also has When visiting Kuaiji, don’t go to Shanyin, as Shanyin Western Medical Clinic was opened by Ding Juren.”
He didn't say much, and others understood as soon as they heard that Ding Juren was the chief minister of Shaoxing and a sign of the gentry. When the magistrate and county magistrate took office, they must first consult the Ding Mansion on Shanyin Street, otherwise everything would be difficult.
However, he was arrogant and unreasonable, and there were quite a few complaints among the people. Of course, it was just criticism, and no one dared to go against him.
Is his family's business easy to deal with?
Ah Q nodded towards Zhao Baiyan, indicating that he remembered.
Although this person is not of good character, he is accustomed to acting according to the prevailing situation, telling people what they say, and telling ghosts and ghosts, but he is also clever. For example, as soon as he opens his mouth at this moment, he makes people like him because his words are on point.
Zhao Chuwu, the brother of the local security guard, came up with an idea and said: "It will take several days to cure leprosy. It costs money to stay in a hotel. The street corners in Qiaodong are damp and unstable. Ah Q, why don't you go to Fushan Tugu Temple? It's a common shop for three big bucks." , and there’s also free purple lilac and egg drop soup in the morning, that’s enough!”
In the past, this would have been a great consideration for Ah Q, and Ah Q sincerely thanked him, although now he has dozens of tubes of silver dollars in his pocket, enough to buy the entire Tugu Temple.
Wang Hu's younger brother, Wang Yu, followed his father to deliver the catch. Seeing that Ah Q didn't care that his brother Wang Hu was his nemesis, he also came over to talk: "Brother Q, pay attention to the patrol officers on Shanyin Street. The female inspectors there are vicious, but Those who were more sloppily dressed were taken away and forced to work as hard labor in Jinqian Charity, where they were forced to die and live."
Ah Q was only wearing ragged cow-nosed trousers, a bare body of black leather ribs, and a mane of dysentery-stricken hair. He would be a big trouble if he bumped into him.
Ah Q also occasionally used boats to deliver goods. He had been to Shaoxing Fucheng several times and heard about this female devil. It was said that the entire Shanyin City was wreaked havoc by her.
Aunt Zou Qi's son Wu Ren was only a teenager. He supported the family business at a young age and was also among the vegetable sellers. Under the influence of his mother and being a distant relative of Wu's mother, he deeply hated Ah Q, a gangster and scum. He didn't want to interrupt, but when it came to the female devil, he couldn't help but say:
"It's really dark! Last year, I sold ducks during the Chinese New Year, and because I dropped duck droppings on the street, I was fined ten coins! The ducks have to poop, so what does it have to do with me? Really, really..."
He was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Someone else interjected: "No! Once this person stayed abroad and was seduced by evil worshipers, he changed his nature. He had no king, no father, and was lawless. This Shanyin patrolman Zai Yi, and Datong Academy Qiu Guijin, then It's a good example.
Zai Yi was just a bit stricter, Qiu Guijin even changed the name given by her parents, and even wanted to divorce her husband, which was totally ignorant of human ethics! "
This man came from the south. In the dim moonlight, he was an old man in a long gown with a fat head and a fat face.
