On the platform in front of the two temples, there were always people who often chatted with Fifth Brother Zhang, Third Master Lei, and Widow Wang Er. Secondly, there were some insignificant men and women, but they were all old people, who were too old to do anything. Other than chatting, there was nothing else to do. For example, the mistress of the Wang family and Liu Zhentian's wife did not have time to come out and chat. Because the Wang family's business was too big, the mistress had endless things to do every day. As for Liu Zhentian's wife, because Liu Zhentian had a concubine in the county town, she felt that it was not something to be proud of and did not come out to chat with people. However, these two women who did not talk much had one thing in common. Every time they went to the market to buy something, they would greet these people warmly when they came out.
On this day, the mistress of the Wang family was going to the market. As soon as he went out and saw these people, he took the initiative to greet them."Fifth Uncle Zhang, Third Brother Lei, and Second Aunt of the Wang family…are you all here?”Some of them didn't say anything, while others replied,"Yes! Mrs. Wang, where are you going?" "You guys continue chatting. I'll go to the market in the east of the village to buy some groceries.”Mrs. Camden walked straight away, but there was a discussion behind her."Did her second son go missing? Why couldn't he tell that this woman was anxious at all? That's her biological son!" The one who said this was Widow Wang Er. At this time, Fifth Brother Zhang seemed to have a place to use his skills. After all, he was a literate person! "What do you know! This was called magnanimity. If the Wang family did not have a certain degree of magnanimity, how could they have such a large family business? The people of the Wang Clan, be it Wang Shijie or anyone else, were all magnanimous. It might seem like a huge matter to you, a matter of seeking death. Although it was also a big matter to others, they would definitely be able to keep their composure and not panic. This is called the demeanor of a great general." Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, the sound of firecrackers rang out from the east end of the village. Third Master Lei said,"Let's go and take a look. I heard that Commander Liu from the east of the village has opened something called 'Health and Red Courtyard.' I heard from the Half Fairy that the scene today was quite lively. Let's go and take a look."
Everyone followed me, and I pulled you to the east end of the village. Next to the market, next to the military camp, there was a new, imposing two-story building. Above the main entrance of the small building, there was a black wooden sign with the words 'Happy Red Courtyard' written neatly on it. Moreover, they had even invited a performance team from somewhere. It was completely different from the lion dance and the stills in the past. This time, no one had seen it before, but the sound was quite pleasant. Moreover, there were many young girls who were wearing very little clothes. They all had big breasts and perky buttocks. He twisted and turned, singing something in his mouth. No one understood what he was singing. Anyway, it wasn't the Great Breaking Heavenly Gate Formation or the Yuanmen Beheading. However, that voice could make people feel a certain desire. Old people like Fifth Brother Zhang and Third Master Lei wouldn't do anything. However, some young people could not control themselves when they saw these lively and fragrant bodies and the soul-stirring soft singing.
A man in a suit walked over to the wooden stage that was set up at the last minute. "Everyone, quiet down, everyone, quiet down."”He stopped blowing, knocking, and singing. He only continued to twist and twist. She shook her butt and shook her chest. The man in the suit began to speak again." My fellow villagers and merchants from all over the world, Commander Liu has specially opened a 'Health and Harmony Courtyard' in our village in order to sympathize with the people and benefit the villagers. What was this 'Health and Joy Red Courtyard' for? First, it could cure diseases, such as lumbago and heartache. If you feel uncomfortable there, come here. Come here, I can cure your illness immediately. Not only can it cure your illness, but everyone has seen these beautiful girls! You can still play as you please. Of course, they had to pay for it. In order to welcome everyone's support today, I have been ordered by Commander Liu to specially reward everyone at noon today. As long as everyone was willing, they could have a free meal inside. Steamed buns with white flour and pork stewed with vermicelli.
Hearing this news, even people like Fifth Brother Zhang, Third Master Lei, and Widow Wang Er, who had weak legs, rushed to a place surrounded by reed mats without caring about their lives. All of a sudden, there was a hubbub of voices and dust. It was even more lively inside the circle of reed mats. Everyone refused to give in. "This seat is mine. Why are you sitting here?”"It's yours. Why weren't you here just now?”"I just went to the toilet next door to relieve myself, and you sat on it. Are you unreasonable?”"It's not yours if it's not here. It belongs to whoever comes.”The more they talked, the more they started fighting. There was even an adult beside him who picked up a child from his seat and threw him out. The child only cried, and the adult sat there without any shame on his face. A few of the older ones were a little unhappy when they saw this, so they said,"You're too outrageous. She's still a child. Do you have to throw her down from her seat just for a bite?”
The people inside were quarreling over the seats, beating and scolding each other. The crowd outside was still squeezing in. The cries of women and children rose and fell, and they never stopped. A moment later, a woman screamed and cursed,"That bastard stepped on my shoes just to eat. Is there a need to risk his life?”One of the men cursed,"Sigh! Don't f * cking squeeze anymore. If you f * cking squeeze any more, you'll step on the child and kill him.”Someone replied," So be it. It doesn't belong to my family anyway. I can't let it delay my steamed buns and pig noodles."”There was no peace outside, and there was no peace inside. For some reason, the two young men started fighting. One of them scolded," You f * cking shameless! You stole my meat while I was talking to Fifth Master Zhang. Don't you have any shame?"”The other one was not idle either. You're framing a good person." "If you eat my meat, your whole family will suffer from choking.”"If I didn't eat your flesh, your entire family would have gotten phthisis.”The more they talked, the more they fought. First, one threw a steamed bun at the other's face. The other person threw the bowl of pork stewed vermicelli at the other party's head, pushing and shoving. After a while, you bumped into him, and he knocked you down. Because of this, there were also people who did not want to do it and started fighting. When the people around them saw that they were fighting with their uncles and brothers, they also came forward to help. When the other party saw this, they came up and started fighting. For a moment, the circle of reed mats was bustling with noise.
However, not everyone was joining in the fun. There were three people who said that farmers didn't look like farmers and that city people didn't look like city people. They were calmly observing everything from the side. No one knew where these three people came from or what they did. Even though there were peddlers and pickers beside the three of them, they still had their own furniture. With this characteristic, it would be more suitable if these three were to travel all year round and do small business on the streets. However, if you pay attention, you will find that these three people also appeared in the village on the morning of the death of the two young students in the car. However, all three of them were wearing straw hats at that time. In the huge market, there was an endless stream of people coming and going every day. New faces appeared every day, and familiar faces disappeared every day. Therefore, these three people did not attract the attention of others.
A few days after Happy Red Yard opened, business was booming, especially among young adults who often visited. Old Sun's Erdan, who lived in the east of the village, was like this. In the beginning, he only had a slight back pain. He had sought medical advice many times, but the effect was not very good. Ever since he went to the 'Happy Red Courtyard,' he wondered if the effect was really good. Her waist didn't hurt anymore? Or was there some other reason? Anyway, he came here almost every day. At first, it was only at night, but later on, it was afternoon and night. After that, she would return home very late at night. She would go in as soon as she opened her eyes in the morning and only come out late at night. At first, people thought that Er Danzi went home after he was cured. Until one day, Er Danzi was thrown out by two rude men, and the two rude men cursed,"Motherf * cker, you don't have money and you still want to soak here! If you don't have money, I'll waste it on you.”It was also at this time that people realized that the people Dopey treated had all gone out of shape. A man who used to be very tall and mighty was now only skin and bones. He could even be described as weak. It wasn't too late when Er Danzi was thrown out. It was around the second watch. At this moment, Er Dan's woman ran over, grabbed Er Dan, and started beating him up. As he fought, he wailed,""You bastard, you useless thing. Not only did you sell 40 acres of land to Liu Zhentian, but you also sold all the valuable things in the house. You didn't care about the child when he was sick. I borrowed a few yuan from my family with great difficulty to treat the child, but you stole it. In the end, the child had a high fever and was burned to death. You shameless thing, if you return my child, what's the point of me living with you!”After the woman finished speaking, she bumped into the sharp corner of the stone steps of the 'Happy Red Courtyard.' Instantly, blood splattered everywhere, and brain matter splattered out. The people who were watching the show said,"I'm afraid we can't keep her."”However, Little Egg didn't show any remorse. Instead, he spat angrily,""They should have died earlier. It's good that they're all dead. I have nothing to worry about. I can still live happily after selling the house.”Sure enough, the next day, Dopey's deed went into Liu Zhentian's safe in the county town.
The incident with Er Danzi caused a sensation in the village. On the platform of the Twin Temples, the sun had just risen when the regulars began to gather. When everyone was gathered, someone began to speak. There was a habit of chatting here. When there were few people, no one spoke. He would only talk when he was waiting for someone! And almost every time, it was Brother Zhang the Fifth who spoke first."I say, what's going on with Little Egg from the east of the village? Why did his wife die from a car crash last night? This treatment had given the land and houses to Liu Zhentian. This wasn't new. How did she unknowingly treat a man into a sickly person? I feel that this 'what kind of health care center' isn't very authentic. It's very similar to the big smoking houses in the Qing Dynasty.”"Old Fifth Zhang, why do I hear that your words are so unpleasant?" Third Master Lei continued. First, Liu Zhentian was also a commander. It was fine if you didn't call him Commander Liu, but why did you call him by his name? Secondly, he had to spend money to treat his son's illness. If he didn't sell his house and land, what would he do? His wife died because she was short-sighted. If a man's illness was cured, wouldn't he be able to earn back his money? Anyway, his condition was getting better. Otherwise, he wouldn't go! How could you slander the 'Health and Joy Red House' as a big smoking house?”When Fifth Brother Zhang heard Lei San's words, it was obvious that he was declaring war on him. He was a little unhappy in his heart, so he replied,"Third Brother Lei, have you been to that place before?”"I haven't been inside." "You haven't been in there before. How do you know what's inside?”"Zhang Laowu, have you been in there before?”"I haven't been in there either." "You haven't been in there either. How do you know that he smokes? Besides, would Commander Liu harm the villagers? When had he ever harmed the villagers?”Third Master Lei refuted Fifth Brother Zhang. For some unknown reason, Lei San Ye's speech was not ambiguous today.
Coincidentally, a distant relative of Brother Zhang Wu's family, a very famous livestock dealer in the three, six, and five villages, walked over. This animal dealer was from the neighboring village, and according to seniority, he called Fifth Brother Zhang uncle. After all, this person had traveled extensively, so his mouth was quite slippery. Seeing Fifth Brother Zhang sitting there, he casually called out,"Uncle, you're sitting here. What's wrong? Why are you so angry because of something? We're all from the same village. It's not worth it. Uncle, calm down.”Fifth Brother Zhang turned his body and said to the animal dealer,""Baohe! Let me ask you something. Have you been to the East side of the 'Health and Red Courtyard' before? Don't say that you haven't gone in before. I know you, kid. You're not easy to deal with. With some money, you can go anywhere you want.”"Why are you asking this? Uncle. I did go in before, but why are you asking this, uncle? If you want to go in too, I advise you not to.”"Your uncle, I, have suffered a lot! Tell everyone about the situation inside and clear Uncle's name.”The livestock dealer named Bao He was relieved. He sat down and said,"It just so happens that I sold five horses today. I'm not in a hurry to leave today, so I'll tell everyone! Actually, it was quite lively inside. It was a good place for rich people, but it was not a good place for those who did not have much money. Let me put it this way, in your village, only the Wang family (Bao He pointed at the Wang family) and the Liu family can afford to go. Even the Sun family can't. Don't look at it, the business is quite good. Although there are many people in the three, six, and five villages who often go in, if they don't know where they are going and feel confused, sooner or later, they will have to give the land and houses to others. In the end, they won't die a good death.”When Lei San Ye heard this, he was unhappy. "Don't talk nonsense, kid. You can't frame Commander Liu, who has brought benefits to the village and the people."”When Fifth Brother Zhang heard this, he was also unhappy. He said,"Lei family's third brother, can you let Ren Baohe finish his sentence?”When Bao He heard Lei San Ye's words, he was obviously angry. "I didn't want to go into too much detail, but this old man seems to think I'm lying. Therefore, I won't hide it from everyone. On the third day of Happy Red Court's opening, I just happened to get rid of ten donkeys and saved up a lot of money. I like to play, so I went in. It was fine if I didn't go in. But when I went in, I didn't have a single cent on me when I came out.”Fifth Brother Zhang was getting impatient."Don't keep talking nonsense. Tell me the details."”Baohe smiled and said,"Uncle, why are you in such a hurry?" They were about to get to the main topic. What was inside? It was a smoking house, a casino, and a brothel. As long as you went in and didn't bring any money, it would be fine. However, they would chase you out. If you have money, I'll ask you to pay a big dollar first and smoke a big dollar cigarette first. I'll say it's for treatment. There was a beautiful girl beside him waiting on him, helping him pack cigarettes and light them up. Moreover, this girl was almost naked. When you were smoking, she would rub against your body. Moreover, her hand would touch your vital parts from time to time. Her little mouth would kiss you from time to time and she would talk to you in a flirtatious manner. Think about it! That man can take it! If you can't hold it in anymore, you can go to the front desk again and pay a dollar. When you come back, you can vent your anger on the girl. If you're satisfied, you can leave. Then, another girl would come over and say,"Big brother!" Wasn't it heartbreaking to throw away two big bucks for nothing? Why not try your luck here? If your luck is good, you might make a fortune. His illness had been cured, the girl had been played for nothing, and he had money. This was the most dangerous place because no matter how much money one had, they had to throw it in. This was actually a casino. There were indeed people who won money here, but they were all their own people. It was just to trick others. It was an act for you to see. When I came out, I didn't have a single coin on me. I threw all five yuan inside.”When Fifth Brother Zhang heard this, he said righteously,"Lei family's third brother, what else do you have to say?”When everyone saw that it was almost noon, they said,"Alright, let's not talk anymore. Let's go." Let's go home for dinner. It doesn't matter where it is, we won't go anyway. The livestock dealer Bao He also said,"Uncle, then I'll be leaving. I still have dozens of miles to go!”
However, Bao He didn't return home because the next morning, people saw Bao He's corpse on the ice of Half Calamity Ravine. Not only that, Fifth Brother Zhang's ancestral grave was also blown up by soldiers. When Fifth Brother Zhang heard this, he did not care about Baohe anymore. After all, he was a distant relative, so he did not think too much about it. However, his family's ancestral grave was the most important thing! When he arrived, his ancestral grave had indeed been blown up. His grandparents 'graves had been blown up, and there were two groups of soldiers standing beside them. Fifth Master Zhang went forward to argue,"How could you do such a thing?" You guys are doing something that is against the heavens and reason, and you're going to lose your descendants!”At this moment, an official walked over and unfolded a piece of paper in his hand. He read,"In order to prepare for the war, we are now using the Zhang family's ancestral grave and the surrounding land. This place, as well as the surrounding five miles, would be an important military area. Without the commander's personal order, no one was allowed to enter. Otherwise, you will be executed." The officer turned around and said to the soldiers around him,"If this old fart continues to pester me, I will punish him on the spot.”After all, Old Zhang was a literate person. He knew that he could not afford to offend them, so he could only suffer a loss. She left resentfully and helplessly.
