There was a cough outside the door, and it was immediately quiet inside.
Xiang Nan smiled, pushed the door open and entered.
The whole family came out, and seeing that it was Xiang Nan, they felt extremely embarrassed.
"Brother Liu, sister-in-law, I'll bring you something." Xiang Nan walked into the yard with his face in his hands.
When the family saw the food, their eyes lit up.
Brother Liu frowned, and said, "Xiaolong, you have given us money many times, where did you get the money to buy food? I can't accept this."
Xiang Nan laughed and said, "If you don't take it, you have to take it. I came with food, but I was kicked out of the house. How ugly it is to say it."
Brother Liu's eyes were red, and he said, "Tell me the truth, where did you get the money from? If you lie to me, you won't treat me as a big brother."
Xiang Nan thought for a while, and said, "Then I won't hide it from you, I forgot the house."
Both the couple were stunned.
Brother Liu was in a hurry, and rushed to push Xiang Nan: "Hurry up, sell the grain and redeem the house, go!"
Xiang Nan shook his head: "If the house is gone, we can still build it. If the child is hungry, it won't work. Although there is not much food, but if we support it, we can still last for half a month. Then we will think of other ways."
"When the docks are open and there are jobs, good times will come."
The sister-in-law knelt down with a plop.
Xiang Nan hurried to help.
Brother Liu looked at the food, at his three children, and suddenly became very silent.
He silently turned around and walked to the corner, squatted down, smoked a pipe, and secretly wiped away tears from time to time.
How far must a seven-foot man be forced to be in such a dilemma.
Xiang Nan didn't bother Brother Liu, and didn't want to embarrass him, he said: "The other brothers are still hungry, I still have some copper coins left in my hand, I'll go buy something and visit them."
"Sister-in-law, don't starve the child. If you have something to say, I will find a way."
After leaving Liu's house, Xiang Nan bought some more food with the little money left in his hand, and asked his brothers to deliver it door to door.
night.
Xiang Nan sat at the door of his small mud room, still watching the passers-by with great interest, guessing their stories, and even making up stories for them based on the different expressions on everyone's faces.
A group of drunk warriors passed by the door. One of the warriors saw Xiang Nan and said, "Aren't you the kid who mortgaged the house during the day? I saw you three times today."
"One time to mortgage the house, one time to give someone a face-to-face, and one time to be present, okay, if you are destined, here you are."
The warrior threw half a jug of wine to Xiang Nan, and the group wandered away again.
Xiang Nan uncorked the bottle, and the aroma of wine overflowed.
The second idiot next door came out again. He was a bald, scruffy man dressed in tatters, but he held a scroll of paintings all day long and couldn't put it down.
These two idiots are famous, sometimes sober, sometimes confused, a bit half-crazy and half-stupid.
What made him famous was that these two idiots had never married a wife in their entire lives, and they couldn't be more intimate with a scroll of paintings all day long. The painting showed a beautiful woman, and he called that woman his wife.
When the days are good, acquaintances pass by and often make fun of him.
"Second idiot, I'm taking your wife out to enjoy the cool again."
"Second idiot, has your wife ever given birth to a baby for you?"
"Second idiot, is your daughter-in-law pretty? Let me have a look."
At this time, those two idiots would smile naively, unfold the picture scroll carefully, and show everyone how beautiful his wife is.
But nowadays, it is a difficult problem for people to survive, and they have lost their elegance.
Neighbors and acquaintances passed by with their heads down one by one, and no one would tease the second fool anymore.
And those two idiots were getting thinner and thinner day by day, their smiles from the past gradually disappeared, and they were gloomy and gloomy all day long.
As if no one mentioned his daughter-in-law anymore, the daughter-in-law in the painting seemed to have lost its vitality, and gradually, it would eventually become a painting.
The people are so poor that no one lights their lamps.
The second fool followed the weak moonlight, unfolded the scroll, and couldn't get enough of looking at the moon.
Xiang Nan chuckled and said, "Second idiot, your daughter-in-law is really pretty."
Ersha was like a drowning man, he suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, his eyes glowed, and he said: "Yes, yes, it is very beautiful."
Xiang Nan raised the jug in his hand: "I wanted to sell it for money, and exchange some food for the brothers to eat, that's all, let's drink together, and share half with you."
Ersha was so happy that he pouted his mouth and squatted on Xiang Nan's side, and took out a broken bowl from his arms to catch it.
Xiang Nan gave him half and half for himself. The two of them pecked and drank very carefully as if they were tasting delicious food.
Those two idiots finally blushed, happily introducing Xiang Nan to his wife.
"Look at this eye, look at this nose, tsk tsk, what a blessing you are to be able to marry such a daughter-in-law."
Xiang Nan joked with a smile: "You know this is a painting, and the woman in it is neither your wife nor a real person."
The second fool suddenly became serious, and said, "Why not! Just tell me, is she here?"
Xiang Nan said: "She is in the painting."
Er silly said: "Is that there?"
Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "Yes."
Er silly said: "Just be here, what is true and what is false? She is here, as long as she is here, she is real!"
"She just has no meat, no bones, and doesn't know how to speak, but I think she is my daughter-in-law, why isn't she?"
"Isn't it true that you are different from other women? If you are missing an arm or a leg, I say you are not human, and you will not accept it."
Xiang Nan suddenly fell silent.
In the dark, the sky shrouded in mist seemed to be split by a bolt of lightning.
The whole world became brighter.
Xiang Nan remained motionless.
Those two fools were still proudly showing off their daughter-in-law, but Xiang Nan couldn't listen to a word.
He is like a stone statue, sitting outside the small mud room, without any expression or movement.
The second fool even secretly drank Xiang Nan's half bowl of wine, but Xiang Nan still didn't respond.
The second idiot had already gone back, and Xiang Nan was still sitting there.
Its daybreak.
Pedestrians began to increase again, and everyone started running around for their lives again.
People passed by the door one after another, some would look at Xiang Nan curiously, while more people would turn a blind eye.
But Xiang Nan didn't move from the beginning to the end. What happened last night is still the same now.
What kind of standard should people use to judge the true and false.
Is it different from what you know? Or is it unable to give you any response and feedback
Is the woman in the painting a woman
Is life real? Dream, is it fake again
When a person falls asleep and dreams, the dream is all the sensory experience in his life at this moment.
That dream is actually already real, while the real world has become far away, more like a fake.
When a person is immersed in his own fantasy, the reality is farther away from him, and fantasy is a place for him to experience himself.
This reincarnation world is an illusory world created by the god king himself.
But I live here, Brother Liu is there, Er Fool is there, and the woman in the painting is also there.
My real body is lying in the dimensional tomb, where is the real world, but now? Is this reincarnation world real, or is the real world real? Xiang Nan couldn't feel the Dimensional Tomb, he could only feel the present, here.
