"I have no acquaintances, no acquaintances. How can an old man like me, who is about to die, know any dignitaries?" The old Taoist waved his hands repeatedly.
The madam didn't care when he heard what the old man said. He just asked you casually.
If the old man really had any great skills, he would not patronize a small shop like his.
"Where's Fangfang, have you left?" Lao Tao asked, reaching out and grabbing his crotch.
Fangfang is a big girl he often orders. This time when he came here, the old man sent her specially.
"Brother, you are such an infatuated person. No wonder Fangfang talks about you so much." The madam said with a smile.
The old Taoist smiled. Actually, he and Fangfang could not be said to have much affection. It was just that the older girl lived a good life, was gentle and considerate, and was considerate to the heart. Every time, the old Taoist felt that he was not just a simple prostitute, not only a physical person.
communication on.
So every time after finishing work, the old man would chat with the older girl for a while, talking about life ideals and so on.
Now the big girl is leaving, no matter what, she has to come and give her a gift.
"Oh brother, you really came to see me off!"
While Lao Dao was chatting with Lao Dao, a woman carrying a luggage bag came down from the second floor. It was Lao Dao's favorite girl Fangfang.
In fact, the woman is not beautiful, only average. She is also older, maybe almost forty years old, and her figure is slightly out of shape.
"You are leaving, brother, of course I have to come and see you off. How can I forget the friendship between the two of us being shirtless together, brother?" the old Taoist said with a smile.
"devil!"
The woman walked up to Lao Dao, raised her fist, and lightly hit Lao Dao twice.
This made the old man feel a little hot, so he grabbed his little hand.
"Hey, I'm so impatient. I can't bear it anymore, so I'll go to the second floor and have a breakup."
The boss next to him couldn't help but smile when he saw Lao Dao and Fang Fang's expressions.
Hearing what the boss said, the old man quickly let go of the older girl's hand and said with a serious face: "Don't think about it, this time I really came to see Fangfang as a gift."
It's early in the morning, and no matter how crazy the old man is, he won't mess around with a big girl.
This time I came here really as a gift to her.
"Have everything been packed?" the old Taoist asked the older girl.
"It's almost done. It's just the place where I rented the house. The deposit hasn't been refunded yet. The old lady is very hard to talk to. She obviously bullied me for being a foreigner." Fangfang said, her eyes turning red.
Seeing that his eldest sister was about to cry, Lao Tao suddenly felt a little distressed.
In the eyes of outsiders, these women are all despicable.
Only the Taoist can really get into their hearts and understand them deeply.
Life is not easy. If there is another stable job, who would be willing to do this? Behind every big girl, there is a unique pain that is unknown to everyone.
So in the eyes of the wise, they are really pitiful people.
Now that I heard that someone dared to deduct the deposit from the older girl, the old man immediately became angry.
"Let's go, take me there, brother, I'll help you out!"
The old man's chest was beating loudly and he said to Fangfang.
Hearing what Lao Tao said, Fangfang felt happy. Lao Tao was from Jishui, and the landlord dared to bully her because he was a foreigner. Now that Lao Tao was helping her, she might be able to get her deposit back.
Although one thousand two hundred yuan is not much, it is not money. The money they earn is real hard-earned money.
"Thank you, brother, I will take you there now."
After hearing Lao Tao's promise, Fangfang quickly took Lao Tao out.
The house she rented was not far away, just behind the alley.
After all, this is where she works and she can't live too far away.
The woman led the old man to the door of a bungalow, then raised her hand and knocked on the door.
After a while, an old woman opened the door.
"Auntie, I'm leaving. You've inspected the house and there's no damage. Then you can refund the deposit. It's not easy for us to make money." The woman said to the old lady at the door.
When the woman mentioned the deposit, the old lady rolled her eyes and without saying a word, she reached out to close the door.
When the old Taoist next to him saw this scene, the corner of his mouth twitched. He was too familiar with this scene. This old woman was planning to be a rogue.
But fortunately, your Taoist master is still good at dealing with scoundrels.
Just when the old woman was about to close the door, the old man dodged and got stuck in the crack of the door.
The old Taoist held his head high, raised his voice, and said in authentic Jishui dialect: "Hurry up and return the deposit to me, or I will make you look good!"
Although you are not from Jishui, Laodao, you have lived in Jishui for so long, and your Jishui dialect is quite authentic, and even the locals cannot tell the difference.
The old woman was taken aback by the veteran. It took her a while to react and screamed: "What are you going to do? What are you going to do? I'm calling the police!"
As the old woman spoke, she turned to face the room and shouted: "Old man, come out quickly, come out quickly, someone is bullying me!"
The old man snorted coldly, opened the door, and said to the old woman: "Call the police. If you don't call the police, I will call the police. You can't stand it if you rely on someone else's deposit to not be refunded. I have a few friends who are police officers."
It’s a game, I’m still afraid of you!”
The veteran has experience in dealing with such people. After all, he has traveled all over the country for so many years and has never seen any kind of scoundrel.
This kind of person bullies the weak and fears the strong. As long as you are tougher than her, he will be intimidated.
Hearing what the old man said, the old woman was stunned. She turned around and looked into the yard again, and cursed: "Useless old man, I've been bullied like this, why don't you come out and help!"
But no matter how much she scolded her, there was no movement in the yard.
"Stop talking nonsense and give the money to them quickly, otherwise I will really call the police!" the old man bluffed at her.
The old woman was so frightened by the old man that her eyes turned red. While crying, she took out her wallet from her pocket and threw the money on the ground.
"Here it is, just give it to you. What's the point of trying to scare an old woman like me?"
Fangfang bent down and picked up the money from the ground, and then counted it. There was only one thousand, which was still two hundred short of it.
But she didn't care anymore. She had planned not to get the money back, but now she was content enough.
The old Taoist glanced at Fangfang and asked her if she had enough money. Fangfang smiled and nodded.
The old Taoist snorted and walked outside the door.
The old woman glared at Lao Dao and Fang Fang fiercely, then slammed the door, and her screams, like those of a slaughtered pig, suddenly came from inside.
"Thank you, bro."
At the door, the woman looked at the old man and thanked him sincerely.
"It's okay, it's just a small thing, what's there to be thankful for?" The old Taoist waved his hand.
"I have to go back to the store to clean up and pay my respects. I will be leaving in the afternoon. Brother, do you want to go sit in the store for a while?" the woman said, looking at the old man.
"I'm not going, I'm not going, just go back. I'll take a walk here for a while." The old Taoist said with a smile.
The woman thanked the old man again, then turned and left.
The old man knew that Fangfang had a husband and children in her hometown, but her husband had a car accident a few years ago and no longer had the ability to make money.
This poor woman chose to take this path.
Human beings, life is not easy.
The old Taoist sighed and did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat on a stone next to him and lit a cigarette for himself.
The veteran has experienced too many things like separation in his life, but he has never looked away.
Whenever a familiar person leaves him, the old man will always feel a little sad.
But in this life, when we meet, there will be parting, just like the clouds in the sky, always dividing and reuniting, tirelessly.
The old man was smoking a cigarette and lamenting about life, while the old lady walked into the room and continued to curse.
"Old man, you loser, look at how much I've been bullied, and you don't even dare to fart. That's a thousand dollars!"
There was a bed in the room, and an old man was lying on the bed, motionless.
The old woman sat in front of the bed, looked at the old man on the bed, and slapped him with some dissatisfaction.
"You useless piece of trash, you sleep all day, and you don't dare to say a word when your wife is being bullied. How can I live with you?"
The old woman said and started to cry.
But the strange thing was that no matter whether she was beating or crying, the old man lying on the bed never moved, as if he was a dead person.
"You damn thing, you are still sleeping, I will let you sleep again!"
The old woman cried for a while, seemed a little annoyed at not hearing the response, raised her hand and hit the old man in the face.
At this moment, the old man on the bed finally made some movement.
He suddenly raised his arm and grabbed the old woman's wrist.
The hand was as dry as firewood, and the skin and flesh on the hand were bronze.
At the same time, the old man also opened his eyes.
His left eye was sunken, while the right eye glowed with a strange red light.
The mouth is slightly open, and you can see that there are black tentacles protruding from the mouth at this time, which looks like it makes people's scalp numb.
However, the old woman didn't show any fear on her face. She just muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why, I'm willing to wake up now, but it's too late. The bastard who bullied me is already gone."
"hehe...."
The old man made two indistinct sounds from his mouth, which sounded like the growl of some kind of wild beast.
With the sound, the originally flat belly gradually expanded and became as high as a ball.
But after a while, my stomach started to hold back again, and it happened over and over again.
And at this time, his body was filled with a faint black mist, and the whole room was filled with a strong rancid smell.
The old woman held his hand with a distressed expression on her face.
"I'm hungry again. Be good. Wait a moment and I'll find food for you." The old woman comforted her softly.
