Chapter 69(1/2)
Before the play was over, Li Ran winked at Zhou E, found an excuse to change clothes, and retreated in a panic.
As soon as Zhou E came out of the elephant shed, she laughed.
Li Ran looked at Zhou E with a look of bad luck. When she smiled enough, she clicked the cart that had slowly come over, "Go back."
"Didn't you say you want to eat soft-bottle fish?" Zhou E was about to burst into tears.
"I won't go anymore, what if I come with a group again?" Li Ran got into the car and pressed her temples with both hands.
"Or why go and eat pork head meat, just make it a little bit more. Let's take a walk." Zhou E suggested enthusiastically.
Li Ran nodded Zhou E.
Eat pork head meat to replenish, what to replenish?
Zhou E said a few words to the coachman, jumped to the front of the car and sat down, turned sideways, and talked to Li Ran.
"You have lived alone before, and you haven't experienced the scene like that just now?" Zhou E looked at Li Ran.
Li Ran nodded.
She has never experienced the scene like that just now, but as a relative and family, she has never experienced it.
"Your third brother and the third son of the Huo family probably heard that you came to listen to the opera and came here to accompany you. Cao San should be on the way, and they are all kind-hearted, you should be able to feel this."
Li Ran nodded, she could feel it very clearly.
"The third lady and the others are here for the third son of the Huo family, and maybe your third brother."
Li Ran laughed when she heard what Zhou E said so bluntly.
"Do you have no kindness, but no malice. People are like this, most of them are like this, without kindness, nor malice. This is great."
Li Ran nodded in agreement, it was indeed the case.
"Those three girls pretend to understand, be self-righteous, and devote themselves to showing off their charm, are indeed quite annoying."
Zhou E thought about Gao Guiying and the other three, and was full of eyebrows and showing off her charm. Only Tao Nong looked good.
"As long as you are with people, you can find one, two, three, five, or even one or two piles of annoying things like this.
I was just joining the army and was organized into the female army. One group of ten people and ten women were all desperate.
There was one who spit in it when she saw something delicious. She dared to spit in a big pot of rice. She was beaten up by me for many times, but she couldn't change it. As soon as she started fighting, she kept spitting.
There is also one who walks into the centurion's tent all day and in the middle of the night. Our centurion is a man.
And... I won't talk about it anymore.
I thought they were too despicable, and relying on a small amount of military merit, I asked to be transferred to fight with men, so I arrived at the Chang'an Marquis Army. At that time, Marquis Li was just a centurion.
Who knew that there was a fart sperm in the front group who would fall asleep and fart one after another. The fart was extremely smelly."
Li Ran laughed loudly.
"Not long after, we were defeated in a battle. Seven of us died, and that shit was also killed.
I became the tenth chief, and I had never eaten tofu before joining the army. It was nothing if I didn’t know or understand. But if I didn’t know, I pretended to understand and insisted on him, which was annoying.
Once we divided the profits, we divided the sheep and the live sheep. He said he knew, "I want to roast the whole sheep, the whole sheep, so I just put it on and roast it. The sheep is full of shit, roasted... Bah!"
Zhou E spat.
"I later fought to the death to become a centurion so that I would no longer be angry with that idiot.
Later, I discovered that no matter where I went, there were as many idiots, kowtowed and touched my head, and there were everywhere!"
Li Ran looked at Zhou E and sighed.
"The saint said, "What people can be used to do, and cannot be known to you. What does this mean? Whatever you say? Over the years, I have felt that if a saint is really a saint, this sentence means that it is unknowable, and there are too many stupid people."
Li Ran looked at Zhou E silently.
"From now on, I think I'm afraid I'll marry someone. If you marry someone like you, most of the families you marry are rich and powerful. That's not to marry someone, but to a family and a clan.
Not to mention this family, they have to get along with each other. If there are too many people, they will have all kinds of people.
Like those three girls today, they are just a child who is in love. They are not too stupid or too annoying. They can still be happy when they look at it, so you have to..."
Zhou E paused and spread her hands.
“I don’t know what you should do.
However, if you don’t like it, you just pluck it and leave, avoid it, or get angry, drive people away, or do something like that. This is very easy, but it will definitely not work. In the end, I’m afraid you can only find a cave to hide.”
"I know, it's too noisy today... It's not right for me, it's actually nothing, it's just..."
Li Ran lowered her head and admitted her mistake. She escaped with the convenience, which was indeed not very correct.
"What I said is that today is good today. Take your time. It's like killing people in war. Kill the first one, which is so scary that I can't sleep at night. Kill the second one and the third one, and I feel sad. If I kill until I'm eighty or later, I won't forget it." Zhou E waved her hand happily.
Li Ran's brows were tall when she heard this, and she used murder as a metaphor for this?
Well, this metaphor is really unique.
The coachman drove the car around and reached a bustling street.
Zhou E signaled Li Ran to get off the car, took Li Ran through the street, and then through two alleys, and entered the Wu Saozi's foot shop where they had eaten pork head meat once.
Zhou E walked in front and followed the guidance of an old lady and went straight into the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law Wu is..." Zhou E stretched her head into the kitchen, and before she finished speaking, she choked up, "Are you?"
"It's General Zhou who is here. You are sitting in the house. This room is smoke and fire, and it's very dirty." Mrs. Wu asked Zhou E to go to the small compartment last time.
Li Ran, who was standing behind Zhou E, was shocked when she saw Sister Wu.
Mrs. Wu's face was bruised and swollen, and her eyes were almost out of sight.
"Who beat me?" Li Ran entered the house and asked at Sister Wu.
"It's nothing, it'll be better in a few days. Just so I just stewed two pig heads in the afternoon and put a few more vegetarian dishes?" Sister Wu avoided Li Ran's question.
"If I had vegetarian buns last time, I would like to ask for a few vegetarian buns, and then I would like to ask for a bowl of soup or porridge. It would be better if the porridge was thinner." Li Ran saw that she was unwilling to say it, so she was not too careful.
"I want pork head meat, and another big bowl of porridge should be thinner." Zhou E's expression was calm.
Sister Wu agreed to go out.
Li Ran looked at Zhou E.
"It must be her man, who else can there be besides her man?" Zhou E's tone was very light.
"Didn't Tao Nong say last time that this foot shop was all up to her. This foot shop was just a half-baked storefront. She made money by making tea and meals, bought her neighbors, and built this two-story building?"
"What's wrong? If you can make money, you won't be beaten?" Zhou E's tone was unkind.
Li Ran stopped talking.
She has no knowledge or experience in family life, nor does she know about Mrs. Wu’s family affairs, and does not know anything she knows, so she never dares to talk nonsense.
Sister Wu brought in pork head meat, buns and soup porridge.
Li Ran ate buns while Zhou E ate pork head meat.
After the two of them had eaten, they walked a long way. Zhou E suddenly said, "It's quite early this day. If you are not tired, let's go and see if Tao Nong has returned. Her house is not far from here."
"Hmm? OK." Li Ran was stunned and then thought of Sister Wu's affairs. Tao Nong must have known the best, so he nodded immediately.
Zhou E took Li Ran through a very small alley, and then passed an alley, and arrived in front of a Ruyi Inn with a blue brick and red door. Zhou E stepped forward and patted the door knocker.
A woman in her forties opened the door and saw Zhou E. hurriedly rushed to the yard and shouted, "Grand girl, it's General Zhou!"
"Who?" Tao Nong's voice fell and the person rushed out, "Why are you? Let's go out and talk."
Tao Nong pushed the woman forward, stepped out of the threshold, and brought her back to the door.
"What's shameful?" Zhou E stretched out her head and looked into the yard.
"I can see people when I go to bed with a man." Tao Nong pulled Zhou E and pushed her down the steps.
Zhou E laughed at her words.
"I'm a lazy person," Tao Nong looked at Li Ran and explained, "After buying this yard, he hired a family of zithers to live in the wing room. I don't charge him rent, so the woman cleaned me, washed clothes, etc. This woman was good at everything, but her tongue was a little longer."
"There is no perfect person." Zhou E continued.
"That's what she said. Her tongue is long, but fortunately she has never been found out. That is, she just avoids her and doesn't let her know anything. Why are you here?" Tao Nong then remembered to ask Zhou E and Li Ran why are you here.
"We just came over from Sister Wu's place with pork head meat." Li Ran looked at Tao Nong and said.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Tao Nong was puzzled and said oh without waiting for Li Ran and Zhou E to answer, "She was beaten again? She was beaten twice in three days, it's nothing."
"Didn't it mean that she earned the money?" Li Ran frowned.
"What's wrong with her earning it?" Tao Nong pointed at Li Ran, "I'll tell you whether this woman is angry or not? Is it strong? Who earns money? It has nothing to do with it.
The money was earned by the zither master at my yard. He was at home and didn’t dare to fart loudly.”
"That's what you said." Zhou E looked at Li Ran and said.
"Sister-in-law Wu fled to this capital for about half a year.
How was she liked before? I never heard her say that she didn't talk much. She just heard something from matchmaker Song who told her to Old Man Bai. matchmaker Song said that she said it herself.
