Siheyuan: Starting from a fitter

Chapter 12 Epiphany
It's been a long time since I've eaten oily food, and I'm a bit craving for the mutton pot from Bai Lao Si's family.

I went as soon as I thought about it, because it was afternoon and there were no customers, so I sat in a corner and ordered a pot and two meat buns.

"Your mutton pot is here, please tell me if you need it." I have only been here twice and am not familiar with it. Although it is a public-private partnership, profits need to be handed over every month. Bai Laosi still maintains the service awareness of the past.

After a good meal, before leaving, I bought 10 more big meat buns. The money was not much, all of them were only 3 yuan, but the meat tickets used up 2 catties and 5 taels, and I made up some food stamps, and settled the bill.Seeing that the meat tickets accumulated over the years have been reduced by one third.The purpose of buying meat buns is to verify the preservation time of the secret place, so as to prepare for when the wind blows.

When I got home, because the stove was burning hot, the room was very hot, the walls and the roof were almost dry, and the whole room looked bright and bigger.Put the bed against the west wall, the wardrobe next to the bed and against the north wall, the table and stools close to the east and north walls, keep the stove in place, facing the door, and reserve space in the middle for bookcases and bowls The cabinet is not high, 1 meter high, and it can be placed along the south or east wall, and the cooking board can be placed on it, and there is no need to cut vegetables and noodles on the table.

With the bookcase as the boundary, the inside is the bedroom, which is about 12 or 3 square meters.Outside is the living room, which is also 16 or 7 square meters.

Organize neatly and sit at the table in a comfortable mood.The only drawback is that the windows are made of paper, not glass, otherwise the light would be better. It would be nice to move a bench and enjoy the sunshine coming through the window in the afternoon.I'll consider replacing it next year when the weather gets warmer.

I took out the commonly used carving knife and the remaining half of the wood from last time, held it in my hand, looked at it carefully, and then groped with my hands, feeling the grain direction of the wood. The image of the rabbit in my mind became clearer and clearer, and gradually overlapped with the wood. , raised the knife in his hand, cut off the excess, and got a rough outline. He changed different carving knives. Slowly, a lifelike rabbit appeared in his hand. He succeeded in one go and was controlled by his strong understanding and control. Li was startled a little.

Slowly looking at it, looking at my first real finished product, I felt a sense of accomplishment.

But it seems that I am not flexible enough, so I took out another piece of wood and repeated the above steps to carve a crouching rabbit. I made some progress. Continue with the jumping rabbit and the rabbit jumping into the sky. . . , Slowly, Li Guocheng forgot the specific steps, followed his own feelings, and kept carving rabbits of various forms. He had no desire in his heart, his thoughts and carving merged into one, and the technique automatically ran until he entered the secret realm. Only when I could no longer take out a piece of wood did I slowly escape from this mysterious and mysterious artistic conception.

Close your eyes, experience it carefully, and you will understand that this is what Taoists often call epiphany. Many people never get it in their lives, but they actually entered the state of epiphany by playing with sculptures. Where can I go to reason?Checking the exercises, there was no obvious change. I was wondering when I suddenly heard a quarrel outside the house. I naturally concentrated on it. The picture that appeared in my mind shocked me. Any object within a radius of 10 meters was clearly imprinted in my mind. , as long as you want, you can do directional sensing or range sensing, the distance is 10 meters.

Quietly focused on Xu Damao's home, and found that Xu Damao was standing on the ground wearing single clothes. Although Lan Xiao'e was also wearing single clothes, she was wearing a padded jacket. From the open padded jacket, she could clearly "see" the graceful figure, which was a bit faint. Fat is my favorite type, bah. . .Scumbag, he laughed and despised himself.

At this time, I "saw" Xu Damao shouting angrily at Yu Xiao'e: "I can't explain it to you. The wound on my chest was bitten by the donkey of the production team, not a broken shoe."

"Your donkey's teeth are so small. No matter how much I know about farming, I still can't tell the difference between a donkey and a human," Yu Xiao'e said angrily.

"Ezi, don't be unreasonable. I've been tired all day and drove 40 miles. You asked me to have a good rest. Why don't you know how to take care of yourself?" Xu Damao knew that he couldn't explain clearly and quickly changed the topic.

"Xu Damao, don't think I don't know anything. Every time I go to the countryside to show a movie, I don't smell like a fox. I always give you face and don't want to make trouble, but you don't know how to restrain yourself and go too far. The frequency of going to the countryside More and more, staying for 3 or 4 days, today even left marks on my body, I feel disgusted, you can sleep anywhere today, just don’t want to go to bed, and don’t even want to touch me in the future.”

The more Yu Xiao'e talked about it, the more she felt aggrieved. She thought about the fact that she, a noble lady, had to marry Xu Damao, and that the food and accommodation were poor. She thought that she was marrying a man who would love his wife, but she didn't expect that Xu Damao was just talking sweet words at that time. After getting married, I heard people talk about Xu Damao's various bad habits, but I didn't believe it or didn't want to believe it. Influenced by traditional education, I just wanted to end it.However, because they could not give birth to a child, Xu Damao's family often ran into trouble, and their life became increasingly troubled.He thought it was his own fault, so he kept enduring Xu Damao's misbehavior.At the most recent stage, I somehow didn’t want to continue to feel aggrieved like this, so I exploded.

Xu Damao also lost his temper.

"Don't play Missy to me, I won't be able to have a baby, I have tolerated you for a long time", Xu Damao put on his clothes and slammed the door and left.

Yu Xiao'e threw herself on the quilt and cried loudly.

It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. Li Guocheng had no choice but to withdraw his thoughts and the scene disappeared.

I looked at my watch. It was already past 9 o'clock. I felt irritated for no reason. I felt aggrieved and wanted to vent, so I waited for 10 minutes. Except for Xu Damao's family, everyone in the backyard turned off the lights and went to sleep. Li Guocheng quietly went out, jumped out of the compound, and walked quickly on the street, hoping to beat up some gangsters.

Arriving at Ju'er Hutong in one breath, one by one entered the small courtyard house near the street. There was a slight noise inside. If you don't sleep so late, you must not be a good person.He released his thoughts and covered the entire small courtyard. There was a strong man in the doorway, drinking tea and paying attention to the door from time to time. He should be the doorkeeper.There were no lights in the courtyard, but there was a faint sound. If it weren't for Li Guocheng's abnormal hearing, most people would not be able to hear it.

After searching carefully, following the sound, I found that it came from underground, it should be a basement or something.I turned my mind downwards and found that there was a basement under the wing room. It was not big, only about 20 square meters. There were about 20 people gathering in there to gamble, and they all yelled for the points they wanted with pale faces.Very bold, the basement entrance is left unattended, but a thick quilt is wrapped in the entrance boards.

Awesome, the noise reduction facilities are in place.

It's simple, just you people, just to vent your anger, find a towel from the secret place to cover your face.Leaping into the courtyard lightly, silently, approaching the door opening, waiting for the moment when the big man bowed his head to drink tea, he opened the door, struck, all in one go, and gently put the big man on the ground.

During the whole process, Li Guocheng kept the range sensor turned on. The people in the basement didn't feel anything, and they were still gambling. It seemed that they trusted the gatekeeper very much.

He gently opened the entrance board to the basement. The entry of cold wind alarmed some people in the basement. Li Guocheng closed the board and turned off the light. The basement was dark. Suddenly, the noise became louder and various greetings came one after another. .

Others couldn't see it in the dark, but Li Guocheng had his thoughts. At this time, the basement was like daylight. From the outside to the inside, he knocked down everyone he met and fainted to the ground, leaving only three men who looked like leaders. At this time, only I heard a lean man among the three people opposite him shouting: "Friends on the zygote, what are you planning on?"

"What the hell, how can I understand what you're talking about?" Li Guocheng thought to himself, he didn't wait for the other party to speak again, and started beating directly, unlike the previous ones, who kept these people awake, and beat them fatly. The three paths were confused and painful.

When the anger went smoothly, I knocked them all unconscious.

Looking at the gambling table and the ground, there were all money and various bills. I didn't show any pretense. I picked up the big ones and sent them to the secret place. I had already "saw" a 1-foot-square wooden box behind the elder brother. I picked it up and opened it. At first glance, Huo, they were all money bills, tied with rubber bands, in bundles.Without time to count, I closed the lid and threw it into the secret realm.

I found a pen and newspaper, wrote the address in large characters with my left hand, and then wrote a big Gamble in the middle of the newspaper.After leaving the small courtyard, based on my perception, I found a group of pickets. I wrapped a small stone in a newspaper. I found the right moment and threw it at them, then turned around and dodged.The picket team found no one. According to the newspaper content, they successfully uncovered a vicious case of gathering people to gamble.The masked man who appeared during the follow-up trial was too dark and no one could tell his appearance, so the matter was dropped.

After returning home without any danger, I took out the money receipts and wooden box. After sorting them out, I found more than 3400 yuan in money, more than 200 kilograms of fine grain stamps, and several other bills.When you get rich, it's true that a horse can't get fat without night grass, and a person can't get rich without windfall.

After calming down, I felt a little reckless today, too much money is useless, and I dare not spend it recklessly, if it exceeds your income level, you will be reported by enthusiastic people, and a cup of tea without tea leaves is waiting for you to drink.

It seems that I will have to be stubborn in the future.Low profile is king, you have to remind yourself repeatedly.
