Lazy Man

Chapter 21 Lazy Man

At first, these people were still looking at the river and chatting. After Xue Baoping walked back and forth twice at the door of the wing, they turned their eyes over and stared at Li Wuxiang.

A skinny woman stared straight at Li Wuxiang's face, as if she wanted to tear off his face. Li Wu smiled at her, and the woman immediately curled her lips, turned her face, looked at him sideways, and said to the people around her: "Look, the little mute has hired a son-in-law for himself this time. He doesn't have a father." Damn, I don’t know anything and I don’t know how to be ashamed. I just dragged him up yesterday and the two of them started fighting today. Tsk, tsk, I didn’t even notice.”

Next to her was an old man with missing teeth, slowly drinking water from a wooden bowl he had picked up, and paying no attention to her. After she muttered a few more words, she hummed a few times: "The house is pretty clean."

"Clean? Yes, it's clean." The woman turned her head and looked into the side room again - she re-installed the stove, the floor was swept clean, and there was no dust accumulated in the cracks between the threshold and the door, let alone any weeds or moss. "It's a pity if it's clean. this It was a house. It was renovated when her parents were still alive. This is considered to be from our town. If she knew better, she should marry someone from the town. How could she pick up a wild boy and bring her home? I just fell in love with that one. My face, are you ashamed?"

Li Wuxiang didn't care much about the looks of these people, because in a place like this, it was unlikely that anyone would find it rude to "keep staring at others." They didn't really care what this woman said - even though they were just four or five steps away from him.

What he cares more about is this woman's status among this group of people. According to his observation, this group of people called this woman "Sister Chen". When she was picking up things just now, she was walking with two other taciturn women. This meant that she was not a lazy person, but an "old man". "Weak" and her clothes are old but clean, this means that she should have a normal family and many relatives and friends in the town.

So she is not the target she is looking for.

At this time, another person was staring at Xue Baoping who was busy in the side room, and took over the words: "Don't worry about it, she is a woman, her surname is Xue, the Xue family is an outsider, and this one was picked up from the town above. Yeah, two people can't stand together in Jinshui - Hey, what's your name?"

He spat in Li Wuxiang's direction, and the spittle fell at his feet. Li Wuxiang looked at him and said nothing.

This man should be a "lazy man", not thin, and taller than the Wang family. He has a long face, light eyebrows, his hair is pulled into a sloppy bun, and his clothes are dirty but not torn. He walks alone when picking up things, and occasionally robs others. Most of the people who are robbed mutter a few words and then walk away. This is what he should do in the town. He has no close friends and relatives, so he is called "Chen Sanjiao".

Li Wuxiang thought he was more suitable, but he had to wait.

Chen Sanzhao glared and spat again: "Are you also a little mute?"

There was a burst of low laughter from the crowd, but Sister Chen didn't seem very happy that everyone's attention was diverted to others, so she rolled her eyes and Chen Sanzhi said: "Three bites, if you have to count up to five generations, I still Where is your aunt? Look at the Xue family. Home, look at your home, don't you want to find a wife? If others can't find one, you might as well find this little mute from the Xue family. I saw her parents taught her how to read when she was a child - Ping'er, Ping'er, Come on, come out and let me say a few words to you.”

Xue Baoping walked to the door and stared at them. She had wanted to close the door just now, but because of Li Wuxiang's instructions, she just used a ladle to stir the millet that went in, telling herself not to hear it so clearly. Now when she walked to the door, she felt that those eyes were focused on her like knives. The crowd became less noisy, the voice became lower, and there were a few "tsk tsk" sounds.

After the night with Wang Wen, she knew what the sound probably meant. She blushed suddenly, but Li Wuxiang was sitting in front of her, so she gritted her teeth and just stared. them.

Sister Chen looked at her for a few times and clicked her tongue: "Look, we haven't seen her much in the past few years. This little girl is in trouble. Sanjiao, I think she is doing well. Didn't the Wang family all leave, and they didn't say they would take her with them?" Let’s go, she’s a good match for you, don’t dislike anyone— -Ping'er, ask your eldest sister to come and have a look at your house. Hey, drink some water. I heard that this little mute you picked up also brought some money with you. You kid, your parents were renovating this house. They all came to help, and they didn’t say anything about scooping up some water—"

Xue Baoping shook his head, but Sister Chen ignored it. However, after she took two steps, Li Wuxiang picked up a piece of mud from the ground and threw it in front of her feet: "She said no, I am not mute either. If you want to drink water, there is plenty in the river."

Sister Chen quickly stopped her steps and stared: "Where did you come from, a wild man? Are you acting wild here? Why don't you ask Jin Shui's surname? Did your parents teach you? Oh, your parents are still here. It’s soaked in water!”

But Li Wuxiang didn't look at him, but stared at Chen Sanyao. Chen Sanjiao was unhappy with what he saw. He stood up and shook his arms: "What are you looking at? If you want to stay in Jinshui, you have to ask our colleagues named Chen if they agree. Don't you have some money? Take it out and send it to him. The mayor, maybe I can give you a nest Where are you from? The flood caused so many things to fall down that the bridge on the west side almost broke the bricks and tiles there. Do you think you have to pay for it? It’s on you, don’t you think?”

There was a burst of applause from the crowd, not only because of his words, but also because he found some legitimate and suitable reason. A few lazy men who had been squatting under the tree stood up, and some old people quickly stepped back. Chen Sanjiao sneered and strode towards Li Wuxiang: "Come here, let me help everyone look through it, look through it... where is the dirty silver? If you don't have it with you, go to her house and look for it -"

The time is now. So Li Wuxiang reached under the bench and pulled out half of the broken bricks left on the stove.

When he stood up, Chen Sanjiao was walking in front of him. He seemed to think that his action of standing up was due to panic, and the calm expression on his face was probably due to confusion, so he reached out to grab his collar.

Li Wuxiang quickly raised his hand, and half a broken brick hit his head with a thud.

Chen Sanzhao stood there stunned, looking a little dazed, and several people who were coming behind him were also dazed. He didn't react until blood trickled out of his hair. He touched it with his hand and looked again. Just as he was about to speak, Li Wuxiang had already grabbed his collar and hit him on the head again.

Based on the memories of his previous life, he knew what angle he should use to create a larger opening on the top of his head, making the scene tragic, but not actually damaging the things inside his head. The effect was quite good - the blood immediately covered half of Chen San's bitten face. The lazy man was so frightened by the blood that he fell to the ground as soon as his legs went weak.

Li Wuxiang immediately put him down, leaned over and grabbed his collar, but looked up at the stunned people a few steps away, and hit his head with a broken brick for the third time. These people still appeared shocked and dazed, motionless, like a herd of petrified sheep. So he stared at them expressionlessly and came a fourth time. Chen Sanjiao let out a scream at this time. This scream and Li Wuxiang's expression suddenly made them react. They retreated in panic and fell several times.

Li Wuxiang then let go of Chen Sanzhao's collar and walked up to Sister Chen. The thin woman's mouth was open and her lips were trembling. Li Wuxiang lowered his head and stared at her for a breath, then let go of his hand and let the blood-stained bricks fall at her feet. Sister Chen suddenly sat on the dirt, while he turned around, walked to the door, and sat back on the bench.

"My name is Li Wuxiang." He tilted his head and looked at Sister Chen, "This elder sister is right, my parents and relatives are no longer here. So you guys think about this matter, a person has nothing to worry about, What are you most afraid of?"

No one answered him, but the one behind the willow tree, who was closer to the river, slid down the river embankment sneakily and hurried away.

Li Wuxiang smiled: "The answer is not to be afraid of anything. Seeing blood today is a good start, so I wish you a prosperous life. Who said you need to drink water just now?"

The two lazy men cowered and bowed, stretched out their hands and dragged Chen Sanya back. In just a short while, there was no one left under the willow tree.
