Shaoqiu planned to go to Luzhen, because as the years passed, life became difficult and the economy became tight, so he had to start a small business.
Because the capital is not big, I can't do a big business, so I can only sell some apples. In winter, there are no cold potatoes. Besides, the weather is so cold, who will eat those things? I can only sell some apples. .
I went to the wholesale market to buy some goods. It looked like the weather was good, and it was a good day for doing business. Shaoqiu was willing to go all out, and he had to do business well. Otherwise, it would be impossible without money, and it would be almost impossible to establish a foothold in the deserted village, plus the people He was so ridiculed that he almost became a useless person. If he didn't do business well, people would almost call him a fool.
The girl has not been with Shaoqiu for many days. According to eyewitnesses, the girl has often been in close contact with a man named Er Fool in recent days. They are not going on dates in the mountains. Going for a walk by the river was very romantic, and I most likely forgot about Shaoqiu, my old lover.
The reason why the girl is like this is just because she listened to some slanderous rumors, saying that this Shaoqiu has become a five-pack household, his family is extremely poor, he has no ability, and he may go to the hospital for treatment in the near future.
“Have you become a five-pack household?” someone asked.
"No, I think it's all because I'm stupid because of reading." Another person replied.
"Then I won't go to school anymore. Otherwise, I might end up like this."
…
After the girl heard such words, she sat alone on the top of the mountain and thought for a long time, but with her mind, she couldn't think of a reason at all. After thinking about it, she felt that what she said really made sense. Go down, don't you see the problem?
"We've all become a five-pack household," the girl thought about what those people said in her heart. For a moment, she felt really uncomfortable. Fortunately, the matter between herself and Shaoqiu had not gone out of the way. Otherwise, once When I said it out, my face was so dull.
While he was thinking this, Er Fool came back from nowhere and got rich. He went to do business and sold some cattle and sheep. When he went there, many people tried to persuade him, saying that business was difficult, and they all urged him not to do such hard work. What is a thankless thing is that it would be better to take care of one-third of an acre at home.
But the second fool refused to obey, and he didn't know what medicine he took wrongly. On a rainy day, he took all the family's savings and walked out of the house, saying that he was going to find a wife for himself.
Hearing what the second idiot said, some people laughed at the time and said that he had boasted about Haikou. However, many days later, they saw the second idiot. He had really made some money. At this time, he came back and claimed that he wanted to marry the girl back. Wife, after hearing this, people praised her one after another.
When the girl heard this, she was not happy for a moment. Although these two fools had some money, in the girl's eyes, it was nothing and not as meaningful as Shaoqiu's study.
In the girl's heart, in the deep night, the first thing that comes to mind is Shaoqiu, but when she thinks of people's comments, everyone is saying that he is wrong and insists on saying that he is some kind of fool. It gradually cooled down, and I no longer even missed him at all. Sometimes I thought of those two fools, and for some reason a smile appeared on my face.
Although the second idiot had made some money, the girl still felt that something was wrong. It seemed that such money was nothing at all. If she wanted to follow him, she would not mention it unless she died.
Many days passed in the blink of an eye.
For some reason, the weather was very hot and it didn't rain for a long time. People were very eager to have a decent rain. Otherwise, let alone people, even some crops, stones and other things would be damaged in the deep night. He would quietly curse some people passing by.
In such hot weather, umbrellas are naturally of no use. The merchants who sell umbrellas have gone bankrupt one after another. Some have changed their careers and become cloth merchants, and some have even become porters and thieves without knowing it.
Several years have passed without a drop of rain falling. As time goes by, people have almost forgotten how to use umbrellas. The umbrellas stored in some people's homes have become garbage because they are useless, discarded like worn-out shoes. It's better to just throw them away. It obviously takes up more space at home. What's the use of them? Some people even set off a fire in anger and burned the umbrellas at home to ashes.
Walking on the street, people cannot see the existence of umbrellas at all, because the sky has been sunny for days, so what is the use of umbrellas? Not to mention using them, even the concept of umbrellas has gradually faded from people's minds. Some When people write, when they write the word "umbrella", they have to ponder for a long time, otherwise, they really can't write it.
The sun was scorching the earth, and the streets of Luzhen were about to catch fire. Some people's houses, because the temperature was too high, often spontaneously ignited at night for no reason, which was very unsafe. At this time, people also The only option is to carry the Dragon King out of the temple, parade it in the crowd, and place it under the scorching sun all day long, baking in the sun, until some rain falls on the Dragon King.
After being exposed to the sun for day after day, the Dragon King that was carried out from the temple was so tanned that it looked bad, even sunburned, so that it was no longer a Dragon King. Sometimes it looked like it had turned into a ghost, but the weather was still like this. It's so unbearable that during the day, the temperature is still so high.
People have no choice but to take desperate measures. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to rain.
No, on this day, under the strong sun, people were talking one after another, feeling that they had to think of a suitable way, otherwise, it would not rain, and this would not be appropriate anyway.
After thinking about it, people felt that they had to burn the statue of the Dragon King that was carried out from the temple. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for it to rain that day.
The man's proposal was echoed by many people at that time. Everyone agreed to burn the Dragon King statue and force rain to save the crops growing in the farmland. There was no other way.
But even though the statue of the Dragon King was burnt to ashes, the sky was still clear and there was no sign of rain at all. It was cloudless every day, and it felt sweltering all the time. Some people gradually couldn't bear it anymore and reached the deep stage. At night, they often do some illegal things, and they plausibly say that the end is coming, and they no longer need to follow the rules of the world. It is good enough to have food and drink.
People were helpless when it didn't rain for a long time. Some people even burned their coir raincoats because they thought they were of no use and would be a hindrance. , secretly set a fire and ignited it, but what to do, it would be better not to let it go.
The concepts of falling rain and umbrellas have gradually faded from people's minds, and even no longer exist. When walking on the street, no matter how the clouds change, people still don't need to carry a hat, let alone an umbrella.
Some people no longer know what an umbrella is because it hasn't rained for many years. Even school students don't need to learn the word umbrella, because if they learn it, they will learn it in vain and they won't be of use at all, right?
One day, the weather was extremely hot, and people walking on the street went to the extent of not wearing clothes. Compared with human lives, this etiquette, justice and shame were nothing at all, because the weather was so damn hot.
Even if you only wear a thin piece of clothing, it is not necessary in such a hot weather. Some people suffer from heat stroke, some people die of shock, and some people are suffering from mild schizophrenia because of the heat. When a cow comes and goes, she thinks she is his wife and insists on being with her and doing some unwelcome things.
Of course, as a country of etiquette, it is very bad if these things happen, and the impact is so bad that some gentlemen choose to commit suicide. They use their own actions to maintain the innocence of people's spiritual territory and will never allow any disrespect. Necessary defilement.
…
This is really an apocalyptic existence.
But on this day, for some reason, the second fool actually took out all the savings he had accumulated for many years. It was not for anything else. It was not to treat guests to drinks, nor to go dancing to show off, nor to go on dates with those women in restaurants. He The only reason he took out the money was to buy umbrellas. Almost all the umbrellas in the world were bought by this guy overnight.
After the two idiots took the umbrella to the street, people suddenly recognized the umbrella because they had not dealt with it for many years, but they did not know what it was at all.
The whole street was piled with the umbrellas of those two idiots. People expressed their incomprehension about this. In such a white and hot weather, could these things be sold?
But not long after, the sky suddenly became gloomy, the thunder continued to roll, and the sky and the earth changed color. At this time, some families hid in their houses and did not dare to come out, fearing that the strong wind would blow. , just scratched myself out.
Some jewelry merchants were selling their jewelry in front of their stores. But when the strong wind came, it was very unreasonable. In an instant, it picked up some huge stones and hung them in the sky. They wanted to fall, which was extremely scary. The strangeness made some cowardly people close their doors one after another and ignore the jewelry.
Of course, in the end, all these things became the possessions of the two idiots, because the strong wind left a mess, and the streets were full of jewelry, gold and silver, and the owners of these things either fled or died inexplicably. You didn't steal or rob, so why not pick it up?
Some shops were also empty due to the raging strong wind. There was no one there. The bosses had fled long ago and no longer dared to stay in Luzhen. As for why these bosses fled, what did they see? Because there was no It is based on real evidence and it is inconvenient to make arbitrary judgments.
In short, some shops in Lu Town were almost empty overnight. Looking at this, the second idiot was secretly happy. He just used these rooms to store his own umbrellas. As for whether he can make a fortune, it depends on his luck.
