tall and rhubarb

In the end, Gao Chang sold the very fake Ming Dynasty purple sand pot back to the Taoist priest who didn't know the authenticity, for 25 yuan, plus eleven fake copper plates as a gift.There should have been twelve, but when I was at the shop at the intersection just now, a clerk made a mistake and let a fake one go when counting copper coins. I wonder if he will be scolded by the boss for this matter.

After selling the things, Gao Chang didn't have the idea of ​​picking up the missing ones. There are so many things on this street. If Rhubarb uses his powerful inheritance memory to find a few buried rare treasures, they will be very big.

But helplessly, although Rhubarb is full of memories, he still can't use them flexibly, and he doesn't know much about the current standards of antique appreciation.They wandered around that street for a long time, and finally gave up. It seems that picking up the leak is not so easy.

I went to the train station to buy a ticket for the afternoon, because it was still early to leave the car, so Gao Chang went to a nearby KFC to buy a family bucket. This thing is serious junk food. He ate there a few times during a date, and since then he has been single, and he ate there once on a whim, but that time he ate up his stomach and stayed up all night, and then he never went again.

I will buy it this time, purely to let Rhubarb try something new. Anyway, those underground things are all found by Rhubarb, which can be regarded as a hero. Plus Rhubarb looks like a dirt dog, probably because I have never eaten this new thing. Son.It cannot be denied that this chain store is quite good at making these junk foods. The fried chicken wings are tender and crispy on the outside, and the taste is also very good. It is quite attractive to those who do not eat these things often.

"How is it? Does it taste good?" KFC doesn't allow pets to go in, so Gao Chang had to buy it and eat it at the train station square with rhubarb.

"Delicious!" Rhubarb felt that he had found the right wife. Dog clans had always raised their own daughters-in-law. Bring it to the big city to eat such good food.

"Then you will find more treasures in the future, and I will bring you here next time." Gao Chang lifted the lid of the Coke cup and threw it into the trash can. A big man drank the drink with a straw, and he drank it by himself without being uncomfortable. It's all awkward.

"Well, it's on me!"

Holding a Coke in his hand, looking at the puppy next to him who almost buried his head in the pile of chicken, with his two hind legs stretched apart, like a piggy eating, Gao Chang couldn't help thinking silently in his heart. Sighing, this is the guy who wants to live with him for the rest of his life, alas, how embarrassing the reality is.

After one person and one dog returned to the village, they still lived as before. Only Grandma Gao knew that this time Gao Chang went to a big city and sold a few antiques dug out of the ground for some money.The old man's doting on Gao Chang is almost blind, or she blindly believes that her grandson is unique, and one day he will have a brilliance that others can't imagine.

Gao Chang took Grandma Gao to the dental clinic in their town to have a set of dentures. The old man was very happy at that time, and he ate deliciously. He always wanted to try some things that he hadn’t eaten for a long time, such as melon seeds and peanuts. Yes, before going to bed every night, I have to take off the dentures and brush them clean, and then soak them in a water glass, like a baby bump.

That is, in the autumn of this year, Grandma Gao passed away. It was exactly the same as Gao Chang's experience in her previous life. Grandma Gao, who would get up early every day, didn't get up that morning. Gao Chang walked into her room and found that the old man had passed away. serene.

Gao Chang didn't remember how he reacted in his previous life, he seemed to be a little groggy for the past few days, and his memory was very vague. Aunt Ashan and Uncle Ashan live next door to Gao Chang and the others. It is the first room facing north in the courtyard. Usually, she often talks to Grandma Gao. Now that Grandma Gao has passed away, Gao Long to find her.

"What's the matter? It's so early in the morning..." Aunt Ah Shan's only son has already gone out to work, and now there are no children at home, and he wakes up late in the morning. He is now wearing a flowery jacket and a Dacron shirt on the outside. He came out and opened the door, obviously just got out of bed.

"My grandma died." Gao Chang lowered his head, although his grandma died once in his previous life, he was still very sad. The 28-year-old is no longer the helpless young man who was at a loss for the future, but tears still fall uncontrollably.

"What?"

"My grandma died." Gao Chang repeated.

"Oh, his dad, get up quickly, Granny Gao has gone..." Aunt Ah Shan went into the house and explained to his man a few times, then asked Chang Gao to go home and wait, and then went to the village chief's house by herself.

Gao Chang doesn't need to worry about the next thing. People in the village will not really let a child do it by himself. Anyway, their village also has a ready-made band, and then invite a gentleman who is in charge. The people who helped were the villagers of their own village, and even the expenses of the funeral were borne by the village, as if it was a matter of course.

Of course, these people still didn't give Gao Chang any good looks.It's just that the current Gao Chang is no longer the 17-year-old Gao Chang. After living for 28 years, he also understands some ways of the world. He has become a member of the village, and he also regards their family's affairs as the village's affairs.

This kind of cognition made Gao Chang want these people to survive when the end of the world came, or to say, to survive a few more.

After Grandma Gao passed away, he was the only one left in Gao Chang's family. Although the descendant of the dog clan said that it would be able to transform in the future, Gao Chang felt that that day might not come so soon.

That fall, Gao Chang began to dig a hole in his room. The hole was under a cabinet in his room. The hole was mainly in Grandma Gao’s room. After all, no one entered his room, so there was no need to worry about a collapse.

When Gao Chang is free, he brings a few bricks from outside. Sometimes he picks them up from the side of the broken house, and sometimes he steals them when they are building a new house. He has money, but he doesn’t want to mobilize people to move building materials home. Well, if his burrow is not secret enough, no matter how much he hides in the end, it will be in vain.

The excavated soil is scattered in the bamboo forest in the backyard, sometimes it is the vegetable field of their family. In short, the bamboo forest is so big, it is not easy for people to find more soil.

Rhubarb is also useful, that is to know a lot of herbal medicine knowledge, to treat colds, to reduce fever, to relieve heat, and to reduce inflammation. Gao Chang grows some of everything, and it is planted next to their chicken coop. Most of the herbal medicines are not very good. Chickens and ducks don't like to eat much either.

Also planted a few honey locust trees, which should come in handy when the stockpile of soap and laundry detergent runs out.I also planted a tree of star anise and cinnamon. It will definitely be difficult in the future. There is no place to buy seasonings, so don't even think about MSG. I can grow some star anise and cinnamon by myself.

Gao Chang didn’t go to school after graduating from high school. In fact, he didn’t go to school very much in his third year of high school. The teachers at his school also knew about their family’s situation. I don't care about it after I finish, and I will still issue a diploma after graduation.

Since then, Gao Chang has been completely reduced to a hooligan in the eyes of the villagers. He is ignorant, neither enters the university nor goes out to study art and work. He hangs around in the village all day long. Play mahjong in the activity center for the elderly to win some money.

Sometimes Gao Chang would leave the village to go to the big city. Every time he came back, he would buy some things to bring back. Some people in the village speculated why Gao Chang went to the city. Look for rich women here, especially for the kind of rich ones, who can eat for a long time after making it once.What's even more outrageous is that he went to the city to rob. Now there are many rich people in the city, wearing gold and silver. Gao Chang snatches people's gold chains and phones, and sells them on the black market.

Gao Changcai doesn't care what others think of him, he only cares about two things, one is cultivation, and the other is hoarding goods.

He was as diligent as a little mouse, digging a big hole in their house little by little, and laying bricks around the hole, which somewhat strengthened the moisture-proof effect.The first thing he started hoarding was table salt, because it is not easy to expire. Compared with salt, it seems that the packaging bags of table salt are not easy to store. Gao Chang bought a few small clay pots, and the table salt was bought in a bag Take it apart and put it in a clay pot with dripping wax to seal it.

I also store a lot of rock sugar and honey. The honey is bought from a beekeeper in a neighboring village. It is absolutely natural and has no additives.Gao Chang, as a man, actually doesn’t like sweets very much, but the apocalyptic life of a few months in his previous life told him that he doesn’t like sweets now, and it’s just because life is good that he doesn’t lack for anything. Resist the temptation of a piece of rock candy.

In the next few years, Gao Chang even started to store canned food. Sometimes he was too lazy to cook, and he and Rhubarb would eat a few canned food to get rid of it. People in the village said that single people just don’t know how to live, and they eat canned food all day without fear of getting sick. Come.As for the staple food, Gao Chang only saved some in the last period. If he can't find food by himself in the last days, no matter how much food he hoards, he will starve to death sooner or later.

Naturally, he couldn't afford to buy less clothes and trousers. He bought two full cabinets for shoes alone. He always brought his favorite shoes home by the dozen.Usually when he returns to the village at night, everyone is asleep. He doesn’t go to the village entrance, but detours to the back of the village and enters the house through the bamboo forest through the back door of his house. No one dares to stay in the bamboo forest at night because they say it is haunted.

But Gao Chang still rarely buys things in their town. He bought himself a diesel three-wheeler, and he usually rides around when he has nothing to do. Seriously, if someone in his village goes to the hospital or something, he is also willing to take it, and the fare has never been mentioned.So in the past two years, Gao Chang widened the path in the bamboo forest for his own convenience, and cut down a lot of bamboo, but no one had any suggestions.

In the blink of an eye, more than nine years have passed. Gao Chang, the former gangster, has also upgraded to an old gangster. He is not married at the age of 27, and he is not serious about finding a way out. In the eyes of those in the village, he is worthless. pole.

All the acacias and cinnamons that had been planted were in full bloom, and even the rhubarb had grown.Rhubarb is just like what Grandma Gao said. After growing up, the black hair on his body has receded a lot, and a lot of golden long hairs have grown, but there are still many black hairs on the nose, ears, neck and other places. The color of the body hair is not very clear, dark gold and black are naturally distributed, some places are more golden, and some places are more black.

For several years people in the town have been popular with keeping dogs. A local boss who was doing business in other places fell in love with rhubarb. He said he wanted to buy it. The price was as high as he wanted. His pet, they are descendants of Inugami, and the two of them are married couples, no matter how courageous Gao Chang is, he never thought about experiencing the power of Inugami's curse.

Rhubarb never barked, but the children in the village were afraid of it. As long as this guy parted his lips to reveal a whole row of sharp teeth, even adults would be afraid, let alone children.

"Why is there no meat?" At this moment, Rhubarb was complaining to the big bowl of rice and vegetables in front of him, with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

"It's been two months since I dug anything. Where can I buy meat?" Gao Chang didn't like to eat green vegetables, but they hadn't dug anything for a long time. It's a bit strenuous, he still has to practice, he can't just sit in the elderly activity center all day, after all, practice is more important than eating meat.

"How about we go to the same place last time, this time at night?"

"Don't mention the place last time, you haven't been chased enough yet? If people in the village know that I dig someone's ancestral grave, I will be stabbed in the back." Gao Chang felt that Da Huang's proposal was completely unreliable.

"Tch, who told you to run so slowly." Humans with two legs are troublesome, and they can't run half as fast. "Besides, there is nothing good in their ancestral graves. The place we want to dig is just closer to that cemetery."

"That's not OK."

"Why don't you get a few cans from the cellar?" The cellar is full of various cans, and the quantity is very considerable. Rhubarb's favorite is canned luncheon meat. He doesn't like to eat fruit, and he doesn't like fish enthusiasm.

"Don't even think about it, just eat your vegetables."

"What are you going to save so much for? Are you going to retreat? Let me tell you, it's all nonsense in martial arts novels, and you can't believe it at all..."

Rhubarb babbled and chewed the greens bit by bit. It has been with Gao Chang for several years, and it will inevitably be affected by what it has heard and seen. In short, it has learned a bit badly. Gao Chang looks like a bum now, so he has the smell of a stray dog.
