"What is this?" Hua Bo asked, looking at the dried fish placed under Shaoqiu's bed.
"I don't know either." Shaoqiu was a little confused for a moment.
"Okay, you young man. I didn't expect that as a scholar, you would do this kind of theft. Did you get sick from studying?" Hua Bo scolded.
"I really don't know," Shaoqiu touched his head, looking confused, "How could I steal your fish?"
While they were arguing like this, people from the deserted village gradually gathered around to watch. There were really a lot of people watching the excitement. Some people pointed at Shaoqiu and kept saying that he was wrong. He scolded him for not being a human being. How could he do this? How could he do such an immoral thing?
Originally, Uncle Hua wanted to beat someone up. If he didn't teach this kid a lesson, he might steal his own things again in the future. However, under the persuasion of several older people in the deserted village, he left in a hurry. In the blink of an eye, he was back in his house. People were also spitting and whispering at this time. Soon after, they also left the door of Shaoqiu's house and disappeared one after another.
Shaoqiu felt very uncomfortable because after this happened, once his reputation spread and he was labeled as a thief, it would be impossible for him to live his life in the future. Despite this, the number of people coming to grill fish in their sheds does not seem to have decreased. On the contrary, there are more people than in the past. Some women even hang their underwear on the oven to bake.
On a night like this, it was really very hot. With someone grilling fish, the temperature suddenly rose many times higher than usual. Even a house with brick and tile structure could not withstand such high temperature, let alone a small one. Qiu Shang lives in such a dilapidated shack, how can he overcome the hardships?
It was too hot to sleep. Shaoqiu didn't dare to live in the shed, so he went out and sat on a stone outside, looking at the stars in the sky. Beside his shed, there were already many boxes of grilled fish, and small fires were lit one after another, making the already hot weather suddenly become even more unbearable.
At this time, I stepped on the trail and went to the river, because it would be really unbearable if I didn't take a bath. My whole body was already in a place where there was no sweat, and it was extremely dirty. If I continued like this, I was afraid that Very inappropriate. When we arrived at the small river, I originally wanted to take a bath and cool down my body, but for some reason, under the moon, bubbles kept rising from the river surface, just like rolling boiling water.
Standing on the river bank and looking at the bubbling river surface, Shaoqiu stopped for a moment. Although the weather was very hot, he did not dare to go into the river. Just sit on the dock, otherwise, it might not be good if it goes down.
After sitting for a while, I wanted to catch some wind, but at this moment, there was no wind at all. But at this time in previous years, it was definitely not like this. It was like a clear breeze and a bright moon, and it was extremely comfortable, unlike this time. It was like staying in a stuffy cage, it was so hot that it was so hot. If it weren't for that thing on the river, Shaoqiu would have jumped into the river.
I didn't dare to take a shower, so I had to get into my shed. Next to the firebox where the fish was grilled, someone quietly put up some umbrellas, as if it was really going to rain. This made Shaoqiu feel ridiculous for a moment.
However, when Shaoqiu got into the shed, it really started to rain. This kind of light rain was also very annoying. It was enough to wet people's clothes, but it couldn't lower the temperature. For a moment, I really didn't know what to do while staying in that shed. It was not impossible to go out.
It was too hot, so he went out and saw a woman's underwear placed on an oven. This made Shaoqiu very angry. Without saying a word, he kicked her and stepped into the mud. At this moment, a woman came up to him. Seeing him like this, she cursed him and said he would not die well.
"Why do you want to bake this here, and your firebox is too close to my shed. If you continue to bake it like this, it will be uninhabitable." Shaoqiu said.
However, that woman was really overbearing. When she saw Shaoqiu soiling her underwear for no reason, she asked him to clean it for her no matter what, otherwise she would kill him.
Shaoqiu is a scholar, and he always believes in the saying that men and women are not close to each other. He is also very shy when meeting people, and he never dares to make mistakes for fear of embarrassment. Seeing that this woman was so domineering and unreasonable, she immediately closed the door and went to sleep.
When the woman saw that Shaoqiu was ignoring her, she was helpless for a moment. She cursed a few words and kicked the shed where Shaoqiu lived. After that, she lost her temper and slipped back into her house.
A few days later, Uncle Hua appeared in front of Shaoqiu's house again, saying that he didn't have enough bricks to repair the house and wanted Shaoqiu to give him some broken bricks to use. When Shaoqiu heard what Hua Bo said, if it were anyone else, he would never agree to it, but as a scholar, he was not so narrow-minded, so he agreed at that time.
Such a large pile of building materials, a few days later, were all brought back to Uncle Hua's construction site and became his.
As for the shed built by Shaoqiu, a fire broke out due to the carelessness of those grilling fish, and it was reduced to ashes in an instant. I had no place to live, so I had to live in a small firewood shed at Uncle Hua's house at night. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to work for it.
This all depends on working for Uncle Hua. Otherwise, it would be impossible to live in someone else's woodshed. It was a small firewood shed. It was very hot to live in it, even hotter than the shed I built. But I had no choice but to live in that firewood shed. I really would have no place to live.
One night a few days later, Hua Bo walked up to Shaoqiu and said a few words to him. The general meaning was that it was not impossible to live in his woodshed, but the wages were gone. If you have a mental preparation, you can only work for him in vain.
"Okay." Shaoqiu has no choice. Besides, at this stage, he can only rely on others. He must not offend him, otherwise he will know the consequences without thinking about it.
It was said that Xiaohua took a bath that day, but for some reason, when she was taking a bath, she suddenly found a figure flashing at the door, opened the door, and almost got in. Faced with this, the innocent girl was frightened. Screaming.
Hearing the girl's scream, Hua Bo danced on the pole and in the blink of an eye, he came over and asked her loudly what was wrong.
"Someone peeked at me taking a shower." The girl muttered.
At this moment, there were footsteps heading towards the woodshed where Shaoqiu lived. Suddenly, the panicked footsteps disappeared and went somewhere unknown. Uncle Hua followed.
But he said that Shaoqiu didn't dare to go anywhere that night. He just stayed in the small dilapidated woodshed and read a book, because the girl didn't like him very much these days. It was because she had been wronged that she didn't say a word or even look at Shaoqiu even when they met.
In desperation, Shaoqiu had no choice but to read with his head down at night. Only in this way can he feel more comfortable. Otherwise, thinking of these miscellaneous things would make people crazy?
But at this moment, when he was fascinated by reading, Hua Bo roared for no reason, and then chopped his shoulder pole, beating Shaoqiu until he vomited blood, and then he stopped. For a moment, Shaoqiu, faced with Uncle Hua's attitude, didn't know where he had offended anyone, so he could only say nothing, lower his head and admit his guilt.
"Get out!" Uncle Hua roared.
Shaoqiu had no choice but to go out. His face was full of grievances and tears kept rolling. He didn't know when the days like this would end. At this moment, the girl came over, lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was infinitely attached to her. This made Shaoqiu at a loss what to do. Just as he was about to defend himself, Hua Bo came forward again and chopped down a pole. , but it hit the girl.
"I didn't watch it," Shaoqiu said.
"Get out!" Uncle Hua shouted without mercy.
Shaoqiu had no choice but to leave Hua Bo's house and live in a construction site not far away. He worked for others during the day and read two pages of books at night. The crops on the mountains, because it doesn’t rain, will not grow after they are planted. Even if they grow, they will not bear much fruit. After thinking about it, Shaoqiu does not plan to plant crops, so he might as well go Just work for others.
Shaoqiu worked at that construction site, picking sand for others and earning more than ten yuan a day. At night, he lived in a dark construction site. At this time, the people working on the construction site left one after another. For a while, it seemed that only Shaoqiu was left at the construction site.
At night, there was no place to go, and since I had no money, I had no choice but to stay in my own place, chatting and reading a few pages. Otherwise, where else could he go?
After finishing their work, people in the deserted village got into their houses one after another. Only Shaoqiu had no choice but to live on the construction site because he had no house. But living in this construction site, when I read a book under the dim light at night, for some reason, the light kept flickering, and I couldn't read the book at all.
Moreover, the light flickered for a while and then broke down. For a while, it was really dark at this construction site, and it was almost impossible to see my fingers. I had no choice but to go to sleep, but at this moment, I heard footsteps not far away, walking gently towards me. When they came to my eyes, they flickered and disappeared again, and I couldn't hear anything at all.
After the footsteps passed by, a light gradually lit up in the deathly silent construction site. With this light, Shaoqiu read a few pages of the book and then fell asleep.
