Getting up, Zhu Tousan took Ah Jiu's hand and held it tightly.
"Calm down and relax, friend. We can't fall down now."
"Thank you, thank you so much, we haven't started yet."
The two dispersed, two people walked towards the second link, and the other two walked towards the opposite link.
The sixth man shook his head and walked to stand under the two landmark trees.
Although the two Er definitely said that two ships had arrived, no one raised their heads to take a second look. When Na Jintang approached Er.
Ouyang Jing stood with his two friends, quietly inspecting his wooden stick, lifting it forward to test the weight.
The sixth person was holding a big red bag in his hand. Ah Jiu thought that the two must be the doctors that Jintang and Huo Zhuoshan took with them after they left the hotel room.
Zhu Tousan let go of Ah Jiu's hand, and Ah Jiu's heart was beating wildly. Stepping on the tide of flowers, Ah Jiu ran towards Ouyang Jing, and the mist dispersed in front of Ah Jiu.
Ouyang Jing raised his head, looking neither surprised nor angry, his white eyes expressionless.
He said something to his friend, who frowned and walked to the other side. Ah Jiu walked up to him.
"You shouldn't have come here, Wu Lu."
"Ajiu must come, Ajiu must stop this fight."
"It's too late now." He said warmly.
"Then Jintang couldn't agree with Ah Jiu, so Ah Jiu persuaded him to give up this fight, this kind of madness, but he couldn't agree with it.
"Do you think Ah Jiu will be able to explain it?"
"You must say it, Ouyang Jing."
"There are only six hours left, Wu Lu, you'd better go away."
to the end.
"Please, Ouyang Jing," Ah Jiu said softly. "Ah Jiu, please."
"A few days ago, just before you arrived, both Najintang and Najintang had a chance to call off the fight, but neither Najintang wanted to."
"You can still undo it now, you can refuse it,"
He looked at Ah Jiu with his bored white eyes. Ah Jiu knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless. Ah Jiu felt two terrible sinking feelings in her heart. Everything was in vain. Ouyang Jing frowned and turned around to face Ah Jiu.
At some point, Zhu Tousan grabbed Ah Jiu's arm and took Ah Jiu under the two iconic trees. Na Jintang stood under the thick leaves, and she hugged Ah Jiu's waist.
"Cheer up, friend," she said softly.
"He can't say it."
"It will be fine in a moment. The fog is so heavy, maybe both of us will be relieved, and everything will be fine."
Ah Jiu shook her head, feeling numb, but the dreamlike feeling still remained.
The two met, turned around, facing each other, and two gloomy voices began to shout about their styles.
Every cell has sensed these two points.
"Five-six," Huo Zhuoshan shouted. "Five-seven, five-eight,"
Ah Jiu likes both of them, but in different ways. Just because of Ah Jiu, two of them are about to get hurt, and Ah Jiu has nothing to do.
There was no other way. Ah Jiu shook his head, and Zhu Tousan's hands hugged Ah Jiu's waist tighter. This is true, it is indeed true, and it is definitely not a dream.
After Huo Zhuoshan shouted the last two words, the two people turned around and faced each other, four or five steps away. They raised their sticks, and there was a deafening sound of the sticks and two puffs of thick smoke.
Bright red tears appeared on Ouyang Jing's shirt. He followed behind, still holding the smoking stick tightly in his hand.
Ah Jiu broke away from Zhu Tousan's hand and ran towards him across the open space. He still stood there with a bored look in his eyes, tears flowing from his hands.
Friend! Where is my friend?
Why don't you bring the big red bag quickly? Ouyang Jing's face gradually faded, and his cheeks turned pale.
He walked around again, shaking for a while before regaining his balance.
Ah Jiu grabbed his arm. Ouyang Jing threw Ah Jiu away and looked at Ah Jiu with coldness and hatred.
"It's over," he said.
"You are hurt?"
"It's just two wounds. The iron piece passed through Ah Jiu's hand. It's over, Ah Wu Donkey. Ah Jiu's boat will leave this afternoon. Now you go to him."
"You leave without Ah Jiu. You can't speak."
"He was about to be hurt, Ah Wu Donkey. Ah Jiu aimed at his hand, and when Ah Jiu was about to pull the trigger, his iron block hit Ah Jiu,
Ah Jiu's iron piece went through his chest. He was about to be hurt. You made Ah Jiu kill someone. It was you who pushed Ah Jiu to this point.
There is nothing left to talk about in Jintang."
"Ouyang Jing,"
"Go to him!"
He turned around and left Ah Jiu quickly. What he just said suddenly made Ah Jiu wake up.
When he said he was leaving, Ah Jiu was so stunned that she passed away. But now it stung Ah Jiu's heart like a sharp arrow.
Ah Jiu cried and ran across the wilderness towards the Jintang. Huo Zhuoshan and his friends were surrounding him.
Ah Jiu pushed the two away, knelt down and hugged Na Jintang. He raised his head and looked at Ah Jiu in confusion.
"Awu donkey?"
"Ajiu is here. That's Jintang."
"Is that you? Ah Wu Donkey?"
"Ah Jiu is here, friend, Ah Jiu is here."
He still smiled stupidly. "It's you, your friend is Ah Jiu. Ah Jiu is imagining, isn't he? Ah Jiu'er must be thinking wildly."
"No, friend, friend Ajiu."
"You said it again," he coughed.
"of course."
"Ah Jiu hopes," his voice almost lost his voice.
"Hope for what?"
"I hope Ah Jiu can be your friend. I hope your friend is Ah Jiu."
Ah Jiu picked him up and hugged him tighter. He leaned his head on Ah Jiu's hand and looked up at Ah Jiu, with that smile still on his lips.
His face was pale and moist. Ah Jiu trimmed the hair on his forehead and stroked his cheek with her hand.
Ah Jiu felt that the heat on his body gradually receded and the coolness gradually came up.
Ah Jiu understands both of these things.
Ah Jiu raised his head and looked at his friend, who shook his head. He had no choice. He and Huo Zhuoshan retreated, and Huo Zhuoshan hugged Zhu Tousan with both hands.
Tears kept rolling down her cheeks. Na Jintang was trembling, and Ah Jiu hugged him tightly with both hands.
"It would be nice if Ah Jiu had a little more money," he said, his voice very, very weak. "Then it would be the same. If he loses, you will be Ah Jiu's. Then,"
Ah Jiu knew that he was talking about that business, and Ah Jiu stroked his cheek.
"Ajiu is your friend," Ajiu said. "You know completely. You, you will
It will get better. Then Jintang will live, and then Jintang II will be very, very happy," "Ah Wulu?"
"Ajiu is here, the Jintang."
"Ajiu can't see you!"
"friend,"
"Don't leave Ah Jiu!"
"Never, Ah Jiu will never leave you."
He grabbed Ah Jiu hard, raised his head and looked at Ah Jiu with his invisible eyes. He coughed loudly, and his whole body trembled.
Ah Jiu hugged him and clung to Ah Jiu's body.
After coughing, he blinked his eyes and stared up at Ah Jiu, his eyes filled with familiar joy.
"I didn't leave Ah Jiu," he said weakly.
"Ajiu is here, friend."
"I like you. I have always liked you."
"Ajiu likes you too, friend."
He seemed confused. "Do you like Ah Jiu?"
"Ajiu likes you, then Jintang, Ajiu likes you."
Ah Jiu saw the happy smile in his eyes, and he wanted to say something else, but he couldn't.
He frowned, desperately holding on to Ah Jiu, and wanted to speak, but the light in his eyes gradually dissipated, and the hand that was holding Ah Jiu fell down.
Ah Jiu hugged Na Jintang tightly, shaking his hands gently, and the tears on his face fell. Na Jintang was hurt.
He watched carefully, unable to hide the longing look in his eyes. People said that Mr. Ergouzi might be the fairest bidder for Ah Jiu's pearls, but Ah Jiu soon discovered that Ah Jiu had to try her best to bargain with him.
He was a stocky man with a ginger-black beard and intelligent brown eyes.
The sign on his door shows that he is a businessman, and his office is indeed luxurious and comfortable, but Ah Jiu doubts that most of the goods he sells are obtained without conscience. "What lovely gems," he said.
"This is a real pure pearl, Ah Jiu guarantees it is right."
"You want to sell?"
"Why else would Ah Jiu come to your place, Mr. Ergouzi?"
He pushed the pearls aside as if they were worthless trinkets. They were his second-hand possessions and he was now devaluing them.
He would talk about how the current pearl market is falling, and he would offer two-fifths of the price, and also say that he was doing a good deed for Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu knows the value of these pearls, Ah Jiu knows how much they will cost, and Ah Jiu will never give in.
"Tell me about your bad luck, Mr. Xiao Ma Liu. It's Mr. Xiao Ma Liu, right? You and Na Jintang are never married."
"Ajiu and Na Jintang have no life." Ajiu said coldly.
"Tell me about the fact that he made a lot of investment by mistake. His speculation failed and he lost all his money. He is in debt. Jintang Palace needs to be sold and all the furniture needs to be sold. Tell him that it is not enough to repay the debt.
It seems that besides owing a lot of stocks, he has suffered losses and even suffered losses and has not paid back."
"The pearl belongs to Ah Jiu, Mr. Ergouzi. It is the property of Ah Jiu. The sale deed paid in cash is in front of you. Ah Jiu thinks you should take a look at it again."
"Ah, needless to say, this is your private property, otherwise his creditor would have taken it away long ago. Ah Jiu said that the two of them took everything away, and said that the new owner is coming to take over the property.
.”
"Are you interested in pearls, Mr. Ergouzi?"
"I'm interested, I'm interested. It's a very beautiful gem, Ah Jiu said just now. But the market is not as good as before. It's not easy to get rid of a gem like this. It's simply not worth selling, and you'll lose money if you sell it."
"So Ajiu has to go. You give the pearl back to Ajiu,"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute. Ah Jiu didn't say I won't sell it to you. Ah Jiu knows that you need money, very much, and I have already told you. Ah Jiu will give you six hundred mirrors."
"I'm afraid that's not enough."
"This is the best we can do, Mr. Xiao Ma Liu."
"So Ah Jiu is wasting your time. Mr. Jintang spent 3,000 cents to sell pearls, and 30,000 pearls are two pennies less. Ah Jiu won't sell them either."
"Thirty thousand mirrors!"
"Do you want to do it or not, Mr. Ergouzi?"
"Ajiu will give you seven hundred," he said reluctantly.
"Sorry, Mr. Ergouzi, Ah Jiu is really not free. Ah Jiu knows that there are three other gentlemen who want to sell.
Ah Jiu thinks that one of the two can afford Ah Jiu's price." "Eight hundred, two can't be more."
His cheeks were a little red, and his brown eyes flashed greedily. He couldn't let these pearls go away, he would definitely make a lot of money, and maybe the resale price would be higher than the selling price of Jintang.
Ah Jiu knew these two points, so he refused to give in. He argued loudly, made excited assertions, and even resorted to personal attacks in the end, saying that he did not want two beautiful women who were in debt to demand a high price.
Ah Jiu picked up the pearl without saying a word. It was like two pieces of jelly.
The knot was sparkling like a rainbow. Ah Jiu thought that Mr. Ergouzi must be about to have a stroke.
"Okay, okay, Ah Jiu will give you thirty thousand!" he shouted.
"I'm afraid it will cost thirty-two thousand now, Mr. Ergouzi."
"Thirty-two thousand! But,"
"Ajiu doesn't appreciate the private discussions of little liars."
"You shrew! You think,"
"Thirty-six thousand, Mr. Ergouzi."
Er Gouzi seemed to have had another stroke, his cheeks turned red, but his eyes still couldn't bear to leave the pearl. Ah Jiu stood coldly in front of his desk. In the end, he had to admit defeat, sighed tiredly, and agreed. Ah Jiu stood coldly in front of his desk.
Jiu wanted to pay cash, so he opened the safe and shouted for cash. Jiu felt extremely ashamed to deal with such two hateful guys, but there was really no other way for Ah Jiu. Ah Jiu needed money. A few days later, Ah Jiu
When Jiu left his office, Ah Jiu's grid bag contained 36,000 mirrors, which was 600 more than originally expected. This was a great help to Ah Jiu.
Now, Ah Jiu can implement Ah Jiu's plan and make a living on his own. Six men once stayed in the hotel room and were willing to donate generously.
He promised that Ah Jiu wouldn't have to worry about it. Both of them were eager to take care of Ah Jiu, but Ah Jiu didn't want to have any contact with them.
Ah Jiu doesn't want to rely on anyone. Ah Jiu wants to go her own way. After selling the pearl, Ah Jiu has the capital to make a living.
As Ajiu walked along the bright, sunny street, her heart was filled with strong determination.
Ah Jiu also felt cruel and ruthless. Ah Jiu wanted to fight. Dealing with Er Gouzi gave Ah Jiu great confidence.
Three weeks have passed since that terrible day when Ah Jiu's little paradise was shattered.
It was just three weeks, but it seemed like it was two lifetimes ago. There was no painful leisure for Ah Jiu, and there was no possibility of succumbing to guilt and great grief.
Na Jintang was injured, and Ouyang Jing left. He boarded the boat in the afternoon and left. After burying Na Jintang, both creditors came to visit, and big business followed.
Now everything is over, and Ah Jiu is alone. Ah Jiu left behind her dress and a few pieces of furniture, and the money was in the grid investment bag.
Ah Jiu wants to get up again.
Maybe, there are always two good things, Ah Jiu will forgive herself for everything she did to Na Jintang. There are always two good things, Ah Jiu will forgive Ouyang Jing Hawke for everything he did to Ah Jiu.
On the other hand, Ah Jiu felt happy because Ah Jiu finally got rid of Ouyang Jing. He killed the love in Ah Jiu's heart and replaced it with harsh determination.
Ah Jiu has learned a lesson, Ah Jiu must let her own will dominate her. Ah Jiu once served as a prisoner of emotions, but she will never do it again.
From now on, Ah Jiu will think on his own and will no longer be driven by emotions. The emptiness left by Jintang for Ah Jiu will never be filled.
After the big business, Ah Jiu took a boat up the river to the city square. There, he checked in, got to know each other, made inquiries, and finally chose two places, two white frame houses near the city center.
They signed two leases and agreed to pay the money at the end of the month. After returning to New Orleans, Ah Jiu and Lucina discussed for a long time and arranged for the goods to be shipped to the city square. Now that Ah Jiu has money, Ah Jiu can have enough money.
Move forward with confidence.
Ah Jiuer waited until the end to sell the pearls, always hesitant and reluctant to part with them. Now, the pearls were finally sold.
Ah Jiu returned to the hotel room five or six hours later. Under the sun, Jintang Palace looked desolate and desolate, and the emptiness inside seemed to have left its mark on the outside.
Ah Jiu opened the door and walked in. The hall was dark and empty, the splendor and vitality had gone with everyone. The hotel room was empty, only two bodies were left in the spacious ballroom, and the furnishings and chandeliers were gone.
After knowing it, the new master will come to take over. I don't know what arrangements the two of them will make, and Ah Jiu doesn't care.
Both of these are in the past, and what matters now is the future.
Speaking of the footsteps on the stairs, Ah Jiu raised his head and saw Zhu Tousan coming downstairs. Zhu Tousan and Huo Zhuoshan Er stayed here to accompany Ah Jiu.
The furniture seller kindly asked Na Jintang to leave a few symbolic items and use them until Na Jintang leaves. In this way, Ah Jiu can at least have two sofas to sleep on. If he knows better, he will come too.
Got the rest of the furniture.
"Have you sold it?" Zhu Touzan asked Ah Jiu.
"Sold 36,000 mirrors."
"Thirty-six hundred yuan! That's great! It's enough for you to open a shop."
"Ajiu thinks so."
"Ajiu thinks you will be very successful, my friend. No one knows how to cut and design dresses better than you. Ladies and gentlemen from the city square will flock here. They will be the best dressed in this territory.
Beautiful woman."
"Is Huo Zhuoshan inside?"
Zhu Tousan shook his head. "He went to sell tickets. On the boat next Thursday, Jintang can stay in a hotel. Fortunately, he has saved money in the past three years!"
"It's true," Ah Jiu said.
"Go upstairs, friend. Ah Jiu has already finished cleaning up. Ah Jiu is here to help you take inventory. Huo Zhuoshan still has some brandy outside. It seems that you need to drink two glasses, and Ah Jiu needs some too!"
Ah Jiu's living room is empty, and there are only two sofas, two dress cabinets, and two chairs left in the bedroom. Two travel bags and two dress boxes are waiting to be loaded with items.
Zhutou San went to her own room and brought two bottles of brandy and two glasses.
"Ah Jiu still can't believe it," she said. "Ah Jiu, I married a Welshman and am going to Wales! That place may be very dark and scary. Ah Jiu thinks Ah Jiu will suffer there."
"Ajiu wouldn't think so, Pig Tou San."
"To be honest, Ah Jiu hopes so." She admitted. "As long as she is with Huo Zhuoshan, Ah Jiu will be happy wherever she goes. You know, Ah Jiu feels that Ah Jiu has no life yet.
Ah Jiu thought this was because the small ceremony was so shabby, and the two offices were filled with white dust and filled with blackened papers.
The white cat just lay upright on the window sill and slept well.
He didn’t even sell Ah Jiu two rings for this dangerous item. He said he would sell it to Ah Jiu in the future, and when the small teahouse prospered, he would make money and sell two rings to Ah Jiu.”
"He wants to open a teahouse?"
"Didn't Ah Jiu tell you? There were only two teahouses in the poor town where he was born, and he wanted to squeeze that teahouse into collapse.
He has many relatives living there, as well as two small farmhouses, which were left to him after his family was injured. Over the years, they have been subletting them to his relatives, so that he can know how his family will treat him.
Nine."
"I believe you two will think you are very good."
"Two, perhaps stunned, two gaudy little Cockney girls who had done mischief for a couple of pennies.
The second husband, poor George, has been hurt. It seems like a long time ago. Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu feels that she has completely become two other people."
"You have completely changed, Zhu Tou San. The past is in the past, and you will be a good wife to Huo Zhuoshan.'
"Ah Jiu Er will try his best to do this. As long as he can forget Ah Jiu's past, Ah Jiu thinks Ah Jiu will forget everything about the past. My friend, here, drink your brandy. Then Jintang will pack all the belongings
good.
We have to start now. Na Jintang will never finish talking." Na Jintang drank the brandy, and Ah Jiu began to take the dresses out of the dress cupboard and put them on the sofa.
In order to rush to the city square as soon as possible, Ah Jiu had sold several dresses. The gold and black dance dress that Jintang sold to Ah Jiu was sold.
The blue velvet dress she wore that night when Ouyang Jing brought her wine was also sold. Ah Jiu can no longer wear it.
The owner of the old skirt shop gave Ah Jiu a reasonable price. He also sold a few more because he was worried that he would not be able to wear such a beautiful long skirt in the future.
Zhu Tousan seemed to have noticed Ah Jiu's thoughts. After folding two pieces of purple-blue silk, she looked at Ah Jiu thoughtfully.
"There will be one in the future," she said.
"oh?"
"In the city square, there will be a person or a few people. Ah, the shop will be very good and prosperous. This will make you feel sustenance for a while.
But after all, a friend needs two husbands."
"Ajiu is not interested."
"No, not now. But a few months later, after the first few stages of pain and disappointment,"
"If there is such a person,"
Ah Jiu interrupted her, "He should be very, very rich. He can give Ah Jiu everything, but Ah Jiu will not give him anything." "No?"
"Ajiu will never like it again."
"These two things have hardened your heart, Ah Wu Donkey. It's also too painful." "Maybe that's the case, Ah Jiu doesn't want to deny it."
"This is not you, you know. These are the two roles you have to play. You are determined to be two ruthless opportunists, but that is not you.
You are too good-natured to play that role for a long time. You are too kind-hearted."
"Ah Jiu will not be used by others anymore, Zhu Tou San. Ouyang Jing used Ah Jiu, and Na Jintang also used Ah Jiu in his own way.
Ah Jiu cares about the two of them and takes care of their feelings. From now on, Ah Jiu only plans for himself."
"You said that? Ah Jiu doesn't doubt that you believe that, right now."
Ah Jiu closed the second door of the dress box and opened the other two doors.
Zhu Tousan continued to fold her skirts, her eyes still contemplative.
"Do you think he will come back?" she asked Ah Jiu.
"Ouyang Jing? He will inherit the inheritance and become two nobles.
He will marry two pale aristocratic women with noble family backgrounds. He has disappeared from Ah Jiu's life forever." "You still like him."
"Ajiu loves him!"
"You just think that, but he will always be in your heart."
"Ajiu thought so before. Once. But Ajiu understands now."
Na Jintang tidied it up silently for a while and packed the boxes.
Finally, all the items were cleared away, leaving only good skirts and skirts that I know how to wear.
Zhu Tousan sighed and raised her hair at the corner of her wings. She sat on the edge of the sofa, looking very sad.
"Ajiu will miss you, my friend." She said softly.
"Ajiu will miss you too, Zhu Tou San."
"Then Jintang can write a letter."
"of course."
"Well, you will be very happy, Ah Wu Lu, Ah Jiu feels this from the bottom of her heart.
