Mediterranean was stunned, but because even "explosive diamond" came out,
The Mediterranean Sea immediately woke up.
Pointing at the old Taoist priest, he said unhappily:
"Brother, you are too unreliable."
"Hey, brother, you are still not confused."
The Mediterranean immediately reached out and scratched his head, forcing the region to support the central government;
Then he looked at the bald man beside him who had been fooling him just now and snorted.
road:
"Bill, please."
The bald man glared at the old Taoist fiercely.
The old Taoist immediately glared back, showing no sign of weakness.
To survive in the world, one does need to be tactful and flexible, but the righteousness in one's heart must not be lost, otherwise what is the difference between one and a blind drifter
Besides, this is just the beginning. When it comes to being timid and keeping silent, I am better than anyone else, but this is not the case with what is happening before my eyes.
I haven't done anything else in the past few years except building up my courage by fighting evil spirits and zombies!
"Okay, just wait and see. I told you not to mind your own business..."
Mediterranean had already paid the bill and walked out of the foot massage shop, while the bald man was still pointing his finger at the old Taoist's face and saying something harsh.
"Hey, go out and find out who I am. Believe it or not, I'm going to make a phone call and you can't leave Tongcheng today!"
The old Taoist pointed to the ground.
There is a domineering attitude that my son is Li Gang.
The bald man was frightened, his lips trembled, and he immediately lowered his head and ran out of the foot massage shop in shame.
Tongcheng is not the capital. It is impossible for any old man or woman practicing Tai Chi in the park to have a remarkable identity and background. However, those who do things that make them feel guilty will eventually feel guilty.
"Bah, what a piece of shit. I can tell at first glance that this guy is a liar."
The girl who had just given Mediterranean a foot massage picked up the foot basin and spat at the bald man's departing back.
Although she noticed it, she was a service staff after all, and it was impossible for her to meddle in such trivial matters. Of course, it was okay to spit a few times after the people left.
Next,
The older girl, whose chest was as heavy as Sister Fangfang's from the pharmacy, glanced at the Taoist priest.
road:
"Oh, I didn't realize that the Taoist priest is such an extraordinary person."
The Taoist priest is a familiar customer here. It would be an exaggeration to say that we know each other inside and out, but after so many contacts, we can still know each other's strengths and weaknesses.
Faced with such teasing, the old Taoist just laughed and didn't take it seriously.
"I'm sorry to have come here today, but we only offer foot massages, and the one on the second floor is closed. How about I give you a massage?"
"It's okay. You will be leaving in a few days, and I'm here to see you off." The old Taoist said sincerely.
Although the world is big, it is not easy to live a good life. I have never looked down on these girls. After all, they earn their money through hard work, which is much cleaner than cheating and deceiving others.
"Hey, if you really know someone, could you please say hello to them for me? This will save us from having to move."
"I do know the captain of the city's criminal police."
"Oh, that's a remarkable person, can you..."
"If I tell him, he will arrest me first and charge me with soliciting prostitution."
Not to mention that with Lao Zhang's temper, it is impossible for him to do such a thing of favoritism and corruption. Even if Lao Zhang is willing, the old Taoist is unwilling to do so.
"Oh, it sounds like that criminal police captain is your son, right?"
“… …” old Taoist.
"I am here."
At this time, a woman in her forties came down the stairs on the second floor carrying a suitcase.
The woman was wearing a red short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans. Her outfit was ordinary and her appearance was ordinary. You couldn't really tell that she was making a living here.
"Yes, here I come."
The old Taoist greeted the older girl he was in love with. He came here just to see her off.
"Okay, I just packed my things and changed my flight to a late-night train. Let's go have a meal. As agreed in advance, I'll treat you."
"Hey, what are you going to eat? This place is not convenient. You can go to the Home Inn across the street and book a room for an hour."
"Fangfang's sister" joked from the side.
The girl in red clothes ignored her and walked out of the foot massage shop one after another with the Taoist priest.
We didn't walk far and stopped at a "Huaibei Beef Soup" restaurant across the street. After entering, the older girl ordered a bowl of beef vermicelli and the older man asked for two naan.
If they say their feelings are deep, that would be a lie.
But compared with passers-by who just passed by each other, the communication between the two was much more in-depth and frequent, so when they parted, there was also a little more sadness of parting.
The naan had no taste, so the old Taoist ate it bite by bite, just to find something to do for his mouth.
The girl ate the vermicelli slowly and drank the soup in small sips.
After a while,
She put down her chopsticks, took out a tissue from the table and wiped her mouth, saying:
"Maybe I'll be back in a while, and I'll contact you then."
The old Taoist nodded.
The woman stood up and paid the bill, which was not much. It was agreed that she would treat, so the Taoist didn't try to steal it.
After paying the bill, the woman shouted to the Taoist priest:
"Come with me to the landlord to return the deposit. I'm afraid the landlord will deliberately hold my deposit because I'm from another place."
The old Taoist nodded when he heard this.
The house the woman rented was not far from here. This place used to be a demolition area, but it was suspended for various reasons, so several rows of bungalows were preserved.
The woman walked to the door of a house and knocked. After a while, an old woman opened the door.
"Auntie, I have packed and cleaned the house. I will leave tonight. According to what we agreed before, I will not live here for the remaining half of this month, but you have to return the deposit to me."
When she heard that she had to return the deposit, the old woman frowned suddenly and was about to close the door.
The old Taoist took the lead, blocked the crack in the door, and shouted directly to the inside in Tongcheng dialect:
"Return the deposit to them, or you'll have something to worry about!"
I have been in Tongcheng for several years. No matter how difficult it is to learn the Tongcheng dialect, I am familiar with it.
The old woman shrieked:
"What are you doing? Are you asking me to call the police
Old man, old man, hurry up and take a look, don’t sleep any more, this guy is coming to your door!”
"Call the police, call the police, my son is from the police station, call the police and see who is making no sense!"
I have experience in dealing with this kind of person. He is the kind who bullies the weak and fears the strong. If you want to reason with him, that's fine, but the prerequisite is that you have to make her afraid of you.
The old woman was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then her eyes turned red, as if she was about to cry, and she choked up and said:
"Old man, you are such a coward, you just watch me being bullied!!!
I was so blind that I actually married you, and now I am being bullied like this!"
The old woman took out her wallet while scolding her man.
He wiped his tears with his left hand, opened his wallet again, counted out a thousand yuan from it, clenched it tightly, and threw it to the woman.
The woman bent down and picked up the money that had fallen on the ground.
“That’s enough!”
The old woman said viciously.
The old Taoist still held the door and looked at the woman.
The woman nodded.
In fact, the deposit was 1,300 yuan, but she was already satisfied to get 1,000 yuan back.
The old Taoist turned his body sideways.
"Bang!"
The old woman slammed the door behind her.
Through the door,
I could still hear the old woman yelling and cursing.
Generally speaking, she scolds her husband for being too cowardly and useless, allowing herself to be bullied.
"Okay, thank you, brother. I'll go back to the store first. See you next time if there's a chance."
The woman stretched out her arms, gave the old Taoist a hug, then turned around and left in style.
She has a husband and children in her hometown. In fact, women of this age who come out to do this business basically follow this standard template.
The old Taoist lit a cigarette and didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat down on a stone block at the door.
With feet up,
Smoking a cigarette,
He has experienced this kind of separation many times, so it’s not really “heartbreaking”, but he still has that kind of emotion similar to the parting of good friends.
look up,
I looked at the clouds in the sky.
Breaking up and getting back together, tirelessly.
In fact, the old Taoist had thought about finding a companion, but in the end it came to nothing.
It's not that he pretends to be different, wants to live alone all his life, or pursues a free and easy life.
I just feel that I am not really suitable for having too many ties.
Anyway, he has no relatives now.
When I leave,
It seems to be best not to have any worries left.
… …
"Old man, you are such a heartless bastard. I'm being bullied and you're still pretending to be asleep!"
The old woman walked into the bedroom and punched the old man on the chest lying on the mat.
"I'm not a widow yet, but what's the difference between me marrying you and being a widow? Other widows live a much more comfortable life than I do!"
As she said this, the old woman slapped the old man again.
"Useless thing, what use are you? All you do is sleep all day long!"
The old woman slapped him again.
This time,
Her hand was grabbed by the old man.
This is a skinny hand.
The old man opened his eyes,
His left eye was sunken, his right eye had a red tint, and his mouth was slightly open with many tentacles poking out of it.
The old woman showed no sign of being frightened, and continued to curse, saying:
"What's wrong? Are you willing to wake up now?"
The old man's stomach suddenly swelled up.
Like an inflated balloon,
Then he held it in again.
But it soon swelled up again.
Black smoke kept rising up from the belly button and was sucked back in, and a strong stench began to fill the air.
The old woman wiped her tears, showed some concern, and said:
"Hungry?"
The old man nodded, showing a look of grievance and pleading.
The old woman pulled her hand away, stood up, walked to the bedroom door and looked out through the gap in the living room curtains.
Clapped his hands,
Said bitterly:
"What a coincidence! The old man who was showing off in front of me just now hasn't left yet."
