Chapter 21 A Moment of Daily Life
What I encountered on this day was more than in Liangshan for a few months. Could it be that after all the hardships, my protagonist's halo finally began to work?
After returning from Haishi, my heart was so irritating that it was dark. When I was having supper, I still couldn't eat anything and my mind was still messy. I poked the chopsticks into the basin several times, or picked up the bones I had eaten into my mouth again.
Finally, I took the whole meal of this smell of chewing wax and started counting what I got today.
When I spread the things I got from the dead ghost Lao Bai on the table, my hands were still trembling. Among the fragments of money, the most conspicuous one was the jade ring with small words engraved. I couldn't help but sigh. This was the last memorial left by this old guy who had only met one time.
He originally said that he could find a shop under a joint business named Nanfeng, who was hired as a relative, to seek assistance as a relative. However, it seems that it is not very reliable now.
Seeing that things were not done, the owner of Kang immediately pulled out his anchor to the sea. He didn't even want to move the furnishings on the shore, and just slipped away under his nose, not knowing what else would happen. If he wasn't stupid enough, this line wouldn't have given up easily.
Fortunately, we have never met him closely. In this way, even if he has other means of identifying my appearance, he may not know my information in Liangshan. The various people coming from Haishi are so complicated. As long as I don’t show up deliberately, the probability of his eyeliner and potential ears and ears he left behind is really out of reach.
Then the money that Lao Bai gave me before his death was all portable, large-value gold and silver coins, three big gold treasures, seven small gold treasures, and more than ten big silver treasures, as change, and several blue eyes.
But what is really valuable is the paper-like documents, which are divided into two types, one is flying money and the other is based on tickets.
In my previous memory, the so-called flying money is a large token with fixed face value, and is paid when you see the ticket, similar to a check. However, according to the credit and strength of the issue, the color discount will vary when exchanged or directly traded;
The three flying money I have on hand were issued by the Nanhai Qianlian. Even if it is in the north or outside the Great Wall, it also has corresponding circulation value and recognition.
The ticket is more like an unnamed certificate of deposit or savings card, but this does not require other proof, as long as there is a corresponding secret seal and seal. For example, this ticket is issued in a local money cabinet in Guangnan, but because it has the Nanhai Club sign-in guarantee, it can also be cashed in other joint business transactions in money banks or ticket banks, and the corresponding proportion of handling fees must be charged according to the distance.
But whether it is flying money or tickets, they are printed very exquisitely, so exquisite that they can be clearly seen, and are printed in sesame-sized fonts and numbers between the patterns. As the paper of the ticket itself, it is also quite flexible, smooth and wear-resistant, and even has anti-counterfeiting measures such as floating printing and scratches with a sense of texture.
The anti-counterfeiting technology level is partially close to modern times, so you don’t have to think about who is the initiator.
This also means that at least before the troubled times, the financial services and commercial activities in this time and space line have been fully and vigorously developed, so that there is enough economic output and demand scale to maintain the pursuit and investment of these financial projects and corresponding documents and strive for excellence.
Although it is a chaotic era in the country, it is not difficult to understand the significance of these things when you think of the huge territory and population of overseas vassals, as well as frequent and intensive sea and land commercial activities.
Among them, the one with the largest denomination is impossible to use, because Lao Bai has already died. The remaining three flying coins have become my last basis. However, there is no use in Liangshan, and it is still traditional circulation items of real gold, silver, precious metals and copper coins, which are more effective.
I pondered, stacked the coins and played with them until the sound of the door was reminded.
Aguda came in with a figure. Only then did I remember that there was another gain in today's harvest.
I glanced at the figure wrapped in a broken felt and untied the tether around my neck, but I left the leather cover, and then
"Open your mouth..."
I pinched "her" chin and broke it down, and carefully observed my mouth like I was looking at a livestock.
Well, the teeth look neat and the glaze is worn very little, because the gum atrophy caused by malnutrition is not very serious, and there is no sign of injury or infection.
"I have good teeth, it seems that I have never suffered any pain before."
I couldn't help but mutter, this means that she wouldn't be too old, and her previous dietary structure was much better than that of ordinary people.
The sunken chin is pointed and the one in her hand is very gentle, but the outline of the cheek bones is very symmetrical, so that her original appearance will not be too crooked. Although the shrinking skin on her face makes her look wrinkled and her forehead is very wide.
When I was doing all this, the other party was like a pair of light puppets, at my mercy. My body was so cold that it was not like a human being. I could only feel the pulsation of blood vessels hidden under the skin, which also showed the fact that she was still a "living person".
Of course, these messy knowledge are partly boring from the boredom of my previous life management forum, and partly because of the early memories in this body, a vague memory that seems to be taught step by step by step on a little girl.
Due to lack of nutrition and moisture, the lost skin is tightly stretched on the skeleton, showing a dull ginger color.
The shoulders and back and ribs, the whipping scars and whipping redness and swelling, the bruised bruises, the old and new intertwined together, which was a bit shocking. It was obviously because of the time when they had suffered a lot because of resistance and various reasons for non-cooperation. However, the other party carefully avoided the parts that might hurt the organs, so these wounds still had a chance to be well maintained.
I gently moved and stretched, and the tendons in the joints of my hands and feet were not damaged. In this way, I could take on most labor and work, without worrying about raising a useless person. Zheng Zhi, the fat man, finally didn't cheat me.
Then I hesitated for a moment, pulled open the felt that covered my lower body, and used the parallel palm as the size to gesture her shriveled pelvis.
Well, I still pinched the tailbone in the category that is suitable for childbirth. There are no protrusions and deformities caused by heavy labor. I will continue to check it.
I took a deep breath and moved my eyes to the position under my crotch, and she seemed to twitch, but when I looked over, she still looked like a half-dead.
"I'm down..."
Just a glance, I was blown away by the stench and filth, and your sister was incontinent and stuck together. If I continue to look at it, my supper and lunch will be in vain.
I had no intention of checking again, so I called Agu to hit me.
Wearing gloves, she pulled off the things she wrapped around, and then picked them out of the branches and burned them. God knows how many microorganisms and lice fleas are hidden inside.
Then take out some homemade charcoal and heat the stove.
"Go and wash it, don't get close to me stinky..."
"Don't worry, you only have your ribs. Not to mention touching them, I will have nightmares when I see them,"
"Even if you want to use it, you have to wait for you to gain weight and use it... What do you have now, except bones or bones."
Although she was still as stupid as if she was dragged and pushed around by me without any response, I still couldn't help but talk to myself, as a kind of catharsis for the thrilling experience during the day.
After a while,
A heavy bucket of hot water was poured down on her head, and the hot water poured down, making her stand up in a conditioned reflexive manner, and her dry expression seemed much more vivid.
Then another wooden barrel was placed heavily by her side, and then she began to struggle. The hysterical horror spread all over the ground with the splashing water. Unfortunately, her body was too thin, but I easily suppressed it. Like a piece of salted pork or dead fish, it was pressed in a large water tank, and then it began to cook and fry.
"Don't move around, I finally cleaned up the place, I don't want you to pass lice in again..."
I twisted her hands and feet viciously, even though my joints made a sound of Buzz, and said in my eyes.
"Either let me wash you clean, or I throw you into the river to clean it... I believe there are more people who are willing to watch."
Then she stopped moving again.
"The first rule here is to be clean and hygienic, otherwise I would rather throw you out and feed the wolf. There are still no shortage of hungry beasts outside the mountain."
I continued to mutter while busying myself.
Under the continuous erosion of hot water, in addition to pork ribs, shame, desire and other things were temporarily thrown aside. The thin skeleton face was somewhat bloody, and her black eyes seemed to have a little bit of energy.
He held a big brush for the horse and dipped it in water and rubbed it hard. The gray-black dirt and turbid currents exposed her skin during this period, rubbing it red and even a little broken, but she was still indifferent. Her stiff body was like a dead fish, and the sound of gritting teeth exposed some of her emotions.
With the help of Aguda and sweating profusely, I finally got the private property. After wrapping it with a large curtain, I looked half dead again, as if the one who struggled to death and couldn't make a sound during the shower was just an irrelevant person.
Today, because it was my first time in Li Market, I bought ready-made food, and the types and portions were much richer. I picked the remaining leftover soup, put it on the fire pit with the remaining cold rice in the afternoon and stirred it for more than ten times, and placed it with a wooden plate, curled up in front of her again.
This is my unique recipe for the patient meal - cat rice. My junior brother who lived alone in college in his early years was really tired of the taste of various instant noodles and was forced into craftsmanship.
"From today, you'll call three,"
I walked out slowly to myself to commemorate the three small silver treasures I bought.
"Let's start with Aguda in the future."
After a while, I heard the sound of collision and swallowing coming back, at least I could communicate and not be completely fooled.
"If you have something, let's take care of your health first..."
I sat down and said to myself to the air
"Even if you want to escape, you need strength."
"It doesn't matter if you want to run. Remember to find a way to run away. At worst, I can dig a hole and bury it in the place where you fell to death."
"It's cold and cold, where can you go, let alone the mountains are full of patrolmen. Could you swim along the river and into the sea?"
All I said was responded to by only the still-broken expression and stagnant eyes. I put down a broken door panel, took out a piece of leather and felt, and signaled her to sleep on the ground.
I am not a bad person who talks about demeanor and equality. If you want to get preferential treatment, you must at least have the corresponding capital, such as being able to warm the bed, selling shade, etc.
As a result, when I was sleeping in the morning, I almost tripped her. This dead woman actually felt cold on the ground and rolled to the edge of my bed made of thick fur and mattress.
Haishi's business continues,
The profit on the second day was much less than the previous day, only twenty-one scattered, and then the third day was less, only seventeen scattered, and the fourth day was even less than nine scattered, which kept decreasing.
On the one hand, it is because the good things I sorted out in the Zakuhuoluo sold in the store, and on the other hand, it is because my colleagues who imitate and copy my creative business techniques have gradually appeared and increased.
Therefore, in the next few days in Haishi, all the only things that were bartered were the things that were bartered.
The total income is about eighty or ninety yuan, which is a small fortune. It can be exchanged for copper coins for tens of thousands of yuan, which is enough for a medium-sized family to use for several months. However, at least half of it must be handed over to gain some people, and the tacit approval and recognition of me who continue to harm public and private interests and tinker with my own things.
However, compared to the final gift I received from Lao Bai, it was nothing. He carried it with a large amount of portable gold and silver. Among those pieces of paper, the smallest piece was taken out with a ticket, which far exceeded our business income these days.
But in order to have a suitable reason and cover, I had to take Aguda to practice stalls with me early and late, just like the things I did when I was a college student and wholesale cheap small gifts on holidays, and selling pocket money on campus.
I took Aguda out to set up the stall, and then came back with the purchased items to slowly train and train the new member.
I tried to make her do some simple and not so laborious work, but unfortunately she performed very badly and couldn't even do a good job of laying the bed and folding the quilt. I was punished many times. Although she couldn't do too much work, she ate a lot.
This made me feel a little regretful and entangled.
In a blink of an eye, the bustling sea city was in the floating snow rice, and it was coming to an end.
Chapter completed!
