Chapter 241 Encountering fellow villagers by chance
After getting the address from me, Brother Ji's wife was ready to leave that afternoon to monitor Xiaoying for me.
She dressed up carefully and looked very stylish.
"Uncle! Let's go! Can you take me to the amusement park next time? I also want to ride the mouse car!"
Before I could say anything, Brother Ji's wife said: "Brother, I don't understand your tricks. Logically speaking, you shouldn't let me take away my son. If you leave my son here, I will definitely
I will spare no effort to work for you."
I smiled and said: "There are so many tricks. I don't know how to take care of children. That's just me. I don't trust people when I use them, and I don't trust people when I don't trust them. Besides, I can't protect myself when I cross the river. If I don't protect myself, I will be harmed by others one day."
, you should leave quickly."
She took a deep look at me and said: "Don't worry, I promise to complete the task you assigned. If someone finds me, I will not betray you."
"Son, say goodbye to your uncle."
"Uncle, I'm seeing you!"
As the door closed, the room instantly became quiet.
I washed my face, hurriedly packed my luggage and checked out of the room. I moved to another hotel, about a street away from here.
It’s not that I don’t trust her, it’s just that many years of experience in the world have taught me that whenever a woman says something, you can’t disbelieve it, and you can’t believe everything. There is a point in between that you have to grasp, and if you don’t grasp it well, you may die miserably.
The newly moved hotel was in poor condition and had poor sound insulation. Just after ten o'clock in the evening, the sound of men and women fighting could be heard in the next room.
The key is to scream as you please and keep your voice down, this is not your home after all.
As a result, the sound became louder and louder, without quality.
I was so angry that I stood up and kicked the wall.
The result was totally unexpected!
This wall was a hollow wall made of shoddy construction. I kicked it to pieces.
I cursed and pulled my foot back hard.
And there was an extra hole in the wall.
It was quiet now.
The next second, a shirtless middle-aged man looked through the hole in the wall and said, "Brother, what are you doing?"
I immediately said through the hole in the wall: "Sorry, I'm going to move my legs and feet, you continue."
The man immediately said loudly: "I thought there was an earthquake! Your big face scares me! If my loud voice disturbs you, just knock down the wall! What are you doing? What's the matter, you want to knock down the wall
Stealing the light?"
"From the Northeast? Where are you from the Northeast?" I asked in surprise.
He was also surprised and said: "I'm from Heihe, where are you from?"
"I'm from Mohe."
"Damn it! You're from Mohe! Then we are fellow villagers!"
I immediately handed over a cigarette through the hole in the wall and said with a smile: "There are few people in our place. It's not easy to meet fellow villagers when you go out. What's your surname, brother?"
"My surname is Niu, Niu Zhengtao. What do you call your brother?"
"Xiang Feng." I said casually.
After a while, he put on his clothes and came over to chat with me.
This man looked to be in his early thirties, with a Chinese-shaped face, thick eyebrows, and his front teeth were exposed when he spoke, with a large gap between his teeth.
"Brother, why don't you have our accent? What do you do?"
"I came out early and my accent has faded a bit. I just took on some small projects." I said with a smile.
"Oh, that's right, I'm a beekeeper."
"Beekeeper? Beekeeper?"
"Of course it's bees. I keep bees and sell honey. Could it be that I keep wasps? Who keeps those things?"
"You wait!"
He hurried over and came back quickly. He took two large bottles and put them on the table. He said: "There is no honey this month. This is the stock from last summer. I will get you two bottles."
"How can you be so embarrassed? I have to give you money, how much is it?"
"It's money! What a big deal! We are fellow villagers! Just take it!"
After I collected my things, I pointed to the next door.
He understood what I meant and immediately smiled and said, "My wife is thin-skinned and is afraid of strangers."
I thought to myself: "Are you thin-skinned? I didn't realize it. What I shouted just now was quite loud."
After a brief chat, he insisted on dragging me out for a drink.
I said it was a bit late, maybe tomorrow, but he insisted on drinking, and said it was right, it was a hotel, which was very convenient.
His kindness was hard to refuse, so I went together without having dinner. His wife didn't show up, so we were the only two.
In the early years, it was like seeing a fellow villager, with tears streaming down his face, speaking in his hometown dialect, and speaking every word sincerely.
??????55.??????
After pushing the cup and changing the cup, he sighed: "Hey, to be honest, brother, I came to Beijing this time to help a friend collect his body. He died and was just cremated yesterday. I want to send the ashes back to my hometown by express delivery.
, but the courier refused to accept it.”
I was stunned and immediately said: "Sorry, people cannot be resurrected after death."
He poured himself a full glass and said to himself: "This friend of mine deserves it. I have tried to persuade him a long time ago, but he didn't listen. Now that he is a stranger and has died in a foreign country, he can't blame anyone else."
This... it didn't sound like his friend had died a normal death. I didn't want to continue the topic, so I took the initiative to ask him about beekeeping.
He said: "Did you see the truck in front of the hotel just now? That was my car. There were beehives on the truck. We were not allowed to enter the city, so I went outside the Sixth Ring Road."
"Can bees survive in the winter?" I asked curiously.
"What kind of bees do you want to classify? If you don't go to work in winter, the workers can basically live until the next summer. If the queen bee is well raised, it will not be a problem to live for seven or eight years. But the few boxes of bees I have are just for show.
.”
He picked up the wine glass, shook his head and said: "My business is not about the wine, but about the mountains and rivers! Haha!"
He didn't understand what he said, but I understood instantly and smiled.
There are still a lot of this kind of occupations, which is to occupy a place on the roadside in rural areas or some small cities, put up many beehives, and the owner puts up a tent and lives nearby, waiting for passers-by to buy.
This kind of fighting is usually not fought alone, but usually in three or four groups, not far apart from each other, maybe just the distance between this village and that village. In the old society, this kind of fighting was called "bee herding".
In this kind of business, the beehives are just decorations. Most of them don’t have bees in them, and some only have a small amount. They make money by selling fake honey blended with syrup. Don’t underestimate it. It’s easy to earn tens of thousands of yuan a month if you do this kind of business.
.
Because we are cosmopolitan, we work in some small places and change places, and the teams help each other and exchange information, so basically nothing big happens. Only those who now make a living by cracking down on counterfeiting on the Internet encounter this kind of lethargy.
As for bees, anyone who dares to compete will have their beehives buried in the mountains for you.
Knowing that I saw it, he said indifferently: "It's hard to make money these days, and shit is hard to eat. As long as you can live a better life, there's nothing wrong with doing it. Before I started this business, my wife and I were still performing on the streets."
, That won’t work, you won’t be able to survive, the urban management will kick you out in big places, but you won’t be able to make money in small places.”
I took a sip of wine and said, "Brother Niu, Beijing is such a big place. It's fate that we two met today. That brother just said it straight away. I'm not a contractor, I'm in the business world."
He nodded: "Actually, I've noticed it a long time ago, because brother, you have an extraordinary temperament, like a bee, a sparrow, a sparrow, and a sparrow. I wonder what kind of martial arts you are in, brother?"
Before I could express my position, he waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy! Let me take a guess!"
"Shui Ma Zi? Ku Guo Yao'er? Zuizi?"
I shook my head.
"Luanbazi? Yanweizi? Open scissors?"
I shook my head again.
He scratched his head vigorously and said, "That's just cheating or taking advantage of loopholes! It must be!"
I still shook my head and said: "None of these, Brother Niu, please stop guessing. It's not convenient to tell you exactly what I do for the moment."
"Holy crap! That's impossible, brother, what else can you do at such a young age? Is it possible that your career is not among the Five Elements?"
I laughed and said: "Bullshit! I'm not in the Three Realms yet. Brother Niu, I guess you are a practicing practitioner. Did you come from Heilongjiang in the early years?"
His face changed, and he said calmly: "Brother, you guessed wrong. If I were a practicing practitioner from Heilongjiang, would I still have to suffer the consequences of this? I would have been so damn popular and popular a long time ago."
"Oh... maybe I got the wrong door. Let's continue drinking and eating food."
Seeing him pick up the chopsticks, I immediately threw an empty wine glass over and ran straight to his door!
Face to face, at such a close distance, he didn't even raise his head, and instantly held the wine glass firmly with two fingers!
He pushed the wine glass to me again.
I saw him grabbing a fried peanut from the plate and flicking it forward with his thumb.
"Snap!"
The thick wine glass was instantly shattered by the blow.
He said calmly: "Brother, since you can see through my background, you are not simple at all, so you might as well show your hand and let me see."
I shook my head and said seriously: "Brother Niu, to be honest, what I practice is internal strength. It is too powerful and the space here is too small for me to use it."
