However, when the second fool chased him out, Uncle Hua had already fled far away and disappeared in an instant, which made it difficult for the second fool to be too serious. After all, offending the girl's father was not a big deal, no matter what.
The second idiot returned to the house and counted the money. Fortunately, the loss was not big. Compared with the money he earned, it was simply negligible. Then he patted the dust on his hands and prepared to go to bed to rest. After a good sleep, you can go to Uncle Hua's house to play for a while. After meeting the girl, you can't be energetic at all, right?
※※※
Shaoqiu was sitting in the house that day. It had been raining for days and he couldn't go up the mountain. He could only stay in the house and read a few pages.
It has rained for many days, which is definitely good for some people selling umbrellas, but it is not the case for Shaoqiu. The crops are gradually maturing. I originally expected to have a good harvest, but I didn’t expect this ghost. It rained continuously for a month, and it rained endlessly. All the millet rotted in the fields. Even if it was taken back, it would still not be saved without the sun. It would be easier to let the millet rot in the mountains.
Pieces of crops, even the corn in the fields, were ruined. It rained so hard that they didn’t dare to go up the mountain to harvest. As soon as they got close to the mountains, there were either dark clouds or mudslides raging, and a If you're not careful, you may die.
In addition, the crops were harvested during heavy rain and there was no place to dry them. It was a waste of effort to take them back. Faced with this situation, most people chose to give up and just don’t want the crops on the mountains. Some people even I changed my career, either going to Lu Town to earn money carrying stones for others, or doing some small business in the market.
Shaoqiu is no exception. She can't stay in the house at this time. It seems inappropriate not to make some money. When the time comes, she will see the girl become someone else's woman and sleep with them every day. The feeling in her heart is really too great. It's uncomfortable, and it's worse than killing him with a knife.
I originally thought of planting crops on the mountains, and then earning some money, I would give it to the girl as a betrothal gift, marry her, and live in peace and harmony from then on.
But I don’t know what happened to this ghost world. When the millet is ripe, it rains for several months. It is said that there are ghosts in the mountains. I don’t dare to walk at all, especially at night. Once I stay alone in the mountains, , the consequences are simply unimaginable.
I don’t know who was so wicked, but he placed a big pig’s head next to a stone on the mountain, and there were paper money, incense and other things next to it. It is said that he was praying for God’s blessing so that his sick relatives could be well soon. It's no longer so painful.
But since someone placed such an object on the mountain, once it comes to night, they don't dare to go up the mountain at all. Even if they bravely go, they never come back. They have disappeared since then. Some say that they are dead, and some say that they are dead. People say that the man actually entered the underworld alive, but how exactly that happened remains to be verified.
Because of all these strange things, Shaoqiu would rather give up the ripening millet on the mountain, and resolutely choose to go into business, do some small business to live, and avoid those terrible things in the legend. Presumably the girl knows this, and she will not Would you blame him?
But when it comes to doing business, the capital is not too much, and you can only do some small business. Otherwise, if you lose money and lose all your money, what will you do?
Shaoqiu was a smart man and chose to go to Lu Town to buy a batch of umbrellas. Because it had been raining for days, people needed them very much. In this rainy weather, it would be difficult to walk without rain gear.
But on the day when he went to the market in Luzhen, Shaoqiu still chose to sell some fruits. He felt that selling these things should be more reliable and not take such risks. Even if he couldn't sell them, he could eat them himself. If your health is not good and your lung disease is getting more and more serious, you need to supplement yourself with these nourishing and moistening things. Otherwise, it may be impossible to get better.
On this day, the weather was still very bad, and it kept raining. In the rain, an elder slowly walked over, stood in front of Shaoqiu, and persuaded him not to sell any fruit. , but you should sell umbrellas. Because the weather is bad and it has been raining for a month, selling umbrellas should be a good choice.
Shaoqiu originally didn't want to listen to the elder's words, but he talked earnestly for a long time. If he ignored him, it would be disrespectful. It would be better to agree to him, so he quickly bought a batch of umbrellas and put them in. After arriving at Luzhen, I was going to sell it to make some money.
The dark clouds in the sky were rolling incessantly, sometimes like the face of a huge monster, and sometimes, looking like an old ghost, spitting out flames and doing extremely terrifying things. Shaoqiu was so scared that sometimes he really didn't dare to look at it. Even if he took a glance at it, he didn't dare to take it seriously. Instead, he comforted himself and lied to himself, saying that it was just something that didn't exist.
In order to do this business, Shaoqiu almost staked all his wealth, because he heard that the girl seemed to have some contact with other men. When he first heard the news, Shaoqiu felt a little unbearable and wanted to jump into the river, but After thinking about it, I felt that love is free and girls have the right to choose, so it is not inconvenient to care too much for a while, but there is no way for him to admit failure.
No, like a gambler, I took out almost all the savings at home and bought a batch of umbrellas. I wanted to take advantage of the bad weather and the heavy rain to sell rain gear and make a lot of money. It would be nice to have some money.
In order to purchase this batch of goods, Shaoqiu went to great lengths and borrowed some loan sharks from gangsters. Once the business failed, the consequences would be disastrous.
Shaoqiu pulled this batch of goods into Luzhen on a cart. Success or failure depended on this. Failure to do so would lead to failure. There was no way out.
When the cart was dragged into Luzhen Street, it was really crowded. Guests from all over the world were in Luzhen. But for some reason, these people walked in the heavy rain without umbrellas. The heavy rain fell on their heads. , really knew how to turn, and floated diagonally to the side without getting her clothes wet at all.
"Selling umbrellas! Selling umbrellas!" Shaoqiu shouted.
However, these people could not get wet due to the heavy rain. At least when they walked to Shaoqiu's side, the rainwater drifted away naturally and their clothes were not wet at all, not even a little bit.
Only when we walked not far away did we feel the coldness of the rain. It was very uncomfortable when it hit our bodies. Some people were even about to catch a cold because of it.
At this time, those customers took out their money, bought an umbrella in a shop, opened it, left with a smile, and disappeared at the end of the street, somewhere unknown.
Seeing that it was not a problem, Shaoqiu had no choice but to try another place to see if he could get better.
After changing places, the situation was really different. As soon as the umbrella was put down, countless people came forward to buy Shaoqiu's umbrella.
At this moment, for some unknown reason, half of the clouds in the sky dispersed. Without the clouds, the rain gradually stopped. People looked at the weather and put the umbrellas in their hands back to Shaoqiu. On the cart, he said "Nao Nuo" and walked away embarrassedly.
The big sun hung in the sky, and there were no clouds in the sky. There was no need for umbrellas. Those who walked with umbrellas gradually put them away at this time. At this time, carrying an umbrella to go on a date seemed a bit cumbersome.
Shaoqiu sat down next to his cart, watching people pass by without even looking at him. He felt desolate and thought to himself, it's all over now, and he really lost all his money.
When I was dragging a cart of umbrellas to the door of my house, my lung disease became more serious because I was too tired. As soon as I entered the house, I spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground unconscious.
After gradually waking up, he looked around and saw that the lights were gradually brightening. Shaoqiu could only get up from the ground, slowly walked back to his room, closed the door, and thought about how to deal with it. The gangsters had a lot of money. What if they wanted to pay it back and they ran out of money?
While he was thinking about a solution, Uncle Hua's shadow flashed in front of his eyes again. This person only appeared because he wanted to buy the cart of umbrellas. He felt that he couldn't sell them anyway, so he might as well go and take a look. Can you get it?
The night was gradually coming over, and Shaoqiu stayed in his room, feeling very bad. His business failed, and he owed such a large loan shark to the gangsters. How would he live in the future?
At this moment, I heard someone knocking on the door of my room randomly. I opened the door and looked outside. I saw Uncle Hua coming, so I hurriedly offered my seat to him, made tea and served him, without any hesitation.
"What's your purpose here, uncle?" Shaoqiu asked.
"Let me see," Uncle Hua said, "Can you give me that cart of umbrellas? Anyway, if you put them in front of the house, it won't look good if people see them. Then you will be said to be unsmart, or even say You are a little stupid."
"This..." Shaoqiu scratched his head for a moment, not knowing what to do.
"Just give it to me," Hua Bo said with a smile, "I'll give you three dollars!"
"Three yuan?!" Shaoqiu couldn't believe his ears.
"Yes, three dollars." Hua Bo replied calmly.
"I thought I spent thirty thousand yuan to buy this batch of goods, but you are only willing to give me three yuan?" Shaoqiu asked with a sneer.
"Three yuan is already a lot. Anyway, no one wants these umbrellas at this time. They take up a lot of space here. Why don't you sell them to me for three yuan." Uncle Hua said this while preparing to put the umbrellas away. The cart was taken away.
"Okay, three yuan is three yuan." Shaoqiu said in a drunken tone, took the three yuan, got into the door, slammed it, and sat in front of the desk for a while, his eyes were blank, tears Continuously flashing in the eyes...
The creaking sound of the Flora cart came from outside the door. The sound gradually faded away, and soon it was no longer audible.
At this time, for some unknown reason, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the sky. In the strong wind, the rain fell in a steady stream.
