Chapter 8 Nightmare
Wu Dalang
Wu Dalang is very depressed, which is especially reflected in his name.
"I have a name. My name is Wu Zhi. Please don't call me Wu Dalang." This is Dalang's inner cry, but what can we do? People still call it that. Wuzhi pancake on Fanzi has also been changed to Wu Dalang pancake. Although the business is constantly getting better, Dalang is getting more and more depressed.
When in Qinghe County, people still called themselves Wuzhi. At that time, Wu Song was the forgotten name. All people would tell Wu Zhi how Erlang was doing today. Erlang had no proper job in Qinghe County, and he was raised by his own brother. Although he is tall and tall and he is a dwarf, he has a greater sense of accomplishment.
Wu Song carried the murder case, which surprised Wu Zhi. Although he rushed home and wanted Erlang to help him at that time, he actually didn't think about the specific help method. Even if there is such an idea of letting my brother commit the crime of murder, it can't be said. Human life is at risk. But Wu Song still came down, and Dalang would also feel a little moved when he thought of this.
But how can normal people know the pain of dwarfs? The ridicule and ridicule that Wuzhi has accepted over the years are beyond anyone else's imagination. Why? Just by height? What does shortness have to do with Dalang himself? Dalang has been trying to prove one thing for the first half of his life: I am not a disabled person, and I am like a normal person.
When Wu Song escaped from Qinghe County, Wu Zhi found how ridiculous he was. On the one hand, I want to prove that I am no different from ordinary people, but on the other hand, I want to get special care from people. This is really a bitch and wants to set up an archway. Since then, Wuzhi has been open to ridicule for dwarfs.
It's really unexpected to marry Pan Jinlian. Wuzhi didn't expect to get married, but he got married, although there are various reasons here. The beauty is in her arms. Thinking about her wandering brother, she will feel some worries. After a short worry, it is a long blessing. Yes, I deserve it. As a dwarf, I took care of my normal brother, and God was also moved by me. This is a compensation for me and the result of my own accumulation of virtue.
After Wu Song fled, Wuzhi's pancake stall business in Qinghe County became more and more bleak, and the reason was easy to imagine, but Wuzhi was unwilling to admit it. Who would like to buy something sold by a dwarf? What if you eat it and you will grow into a dwarf? Many people also don't want to see Wuzhi's deformed body. They feel nauseous and then have no appetite. Although Wuzhi's pancakes are sold at a good price, no one cares about it.
But why is the original business good? Because Wu Er is here. Wu Er is like the guise of a pancake stall. No matter how men and women look at Wu Er, they will feel a kind of upward power. Many little daughters-in-law come to the pancake stall several times a day to buy pancakes just to see what Wu Er is doing. If Wu Er is not here, he will ask when he will come back and buy it when he comes back.
A month after Wu Song escaped, Wu Da sadly realized that although Wu Song had been standing behind him for a long time, people were still watching him and Wu Song was his nightmare. Therefore, Dalang decided to take his daughter-in-law to live in another place and go to a place where no one knows that Wu Song only knows Wuzhi. He wants to establish the respect of others with his own pancakes so that he will not be discriminated against. Where to go? Yanggu County. Qinghe Yanggu, you see, how different the names of places are. There are no relatives there for no reason. No one knows Takematsu, which is suitable for starting again.
So Wuzhi went to Yanggu to sell pancakes. Yanggu County is good and takes good care of foreign visitors. The pancake stall soon became a little famous. Although Wu Zhi was unable to attend the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce because of his small business, he could bring his family's banquet. Wuzhi was invited every time, which shows the respect of friends from all walks of life for him. Wuzhi thought happily.
But the good times did not last long. Unexpectedly, in less than two years, Wu Song came to Yanggu County and appeared heroically in front of him. Good boy, killing the tiger on Jingyanggang is really like a dream, and he has become the head! The Wu family has never been an official. This is really Guangzong Yaozu. This is all his own credit. If he hadn't raised Wu Song, he would have starved to death. How could he kill the tiger without paying Wu Song to learn how to fight?
Thinking of Wu Song sweeping the floor for himself in front of everyone that day, Wuzhi felt ashamed. You see, although I'm a dwarf, I can make the giant worship. Can you do it?
But the next thing made me very unhappy. The most unpleasant thing was this name. Wuzhi became Wu Dalang, and Wuzhi's pancake became Wu Dalang pancake. I have chosen a place where no one knows me to start over. Wu Song, why are you pestering me like a nightmare? Do you just want to prove that I am a dwarf?
Oh, yes, this is what makes people depressed. A few days ago, when his daughter-in-law closed the window, the fork stick hit the little man selling pears downstairs. The little man knew that he made a lot of money today, so he came to ask for money every day. Today, he said that he had a headache, tomorrow he couldn't see clearly, and the day after tomorrow he said that he was constipated. In short, everything was because of the fork stick. Wu Dalang acted as Pan Jinlian's husband must be responsible and compensated.
Wu Dalang also has his own magic method. Every time he said that now the family is not in charge, but the capital's brother's decision. The younger brother is outside to take the county magistrate's tolerance. When he comes back, he will argue with you and discuss compensation. Who is not afraid of officials on the street? As soon as the little man hears "the county magistrate" and "du head", he will find an excuse to leave. Of course, he will come back the next day, and Wu Da did not tire of using these two words to let him go back. It seems that every day is a repetition of the past, which is so boring.
But why hasn't Wu Song come back yet? Wu Dalang calculated the days. If everything went well, Wu Song should have come back yesterday. Is there something wrong? However, the journey is far away, and it is normal to delay for a day or two.
In the evening, Wu Da sent the staff to collect the pancake stall - Wu Da now earns a lot of money and has not set up his own stall for a long time. As soon as I sat down at the door, a sedan chair came in front of the door. There was an official who followed the sedan chair. Please come in. The official said, "You are the brother of our heads, that is the brother of the little man."
"Where." Wu Da waved his hand and said that in fact, he was still very useful, but what was awkward was that this official was also relatively tall. He needed to look up and talk without the eldest brother's feeling for his younger brother.
"Tonight, the county magistrate held a banquet in the back house and invited his brother. I hope my brother would not refuse and refute the face of the county magistrate."
"What can you do? When the villain changes his clothes, you can go." Wu Da also thought that the county magistrate's usual dime, and there was really no reason to invite me to dinner. No matter what else, let's go and talk about it first.
I want to walk into the inner room and greet Pan Jinlian to change her clothes. After cleaning up, he brought a flower to his temples to show his wealth. Wu Dalang looked in the mirror and felt that he was also very handsome. It would be better if he was taller. After leaving the hall, the official bent down to signal the master to get into the sedan chair. The master did not refuse and walked into the sedan chair with his head held high. It's not that the sedan chair is tall, but the big man is short, which saves the trouble of others bending over.
Dalang has never taken a sedan chair. After sitting down, he felt lifted up. Although the sedan chair carried by the two was a little unstable, it was also comfortable. Dalang smiled happily, but was a little annoyed. The window of the sedan chair was too high for him. He would definitely not see it when he sat down. Even if he stood in the sedan chair, he could only show his glasses. Unfortunately, he could only see the sky at such an angle, and he could not see the expression of people walking enviing the sedan chair. Imagine how majestic it would be if you could wave to the people outside in the sedan chair and be guarded by officials next to you. Tomorrow, I can tell the people on the street that the county magistrate invited me to dinner and sent a sedan chair to pick me up. Unfortunately, no one has witnessed it, and bragging is not pleasant.
The sedan chair suddenly flashed fiercely. Dalang's deformed legs were unstable, and there was nothing to help around him. After standing for a moment, he sat down and was calculating what to eat at night.
It tastes so delicious.
Oh, yes, I remember that inviting me to dinner may be to increase taxes. A few days ago, the county magistrate said at the Chamber of Commerce that the cake stall business was good and the tax should be increased. It's just that I'm used to not going to the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, so I forgot to attend that day. Fortunately, the county magistrate didn't find it, and fortunately, other buddies on the street told me. Let's increase the tax. Recently, many people have come to me hoping to open a branch. As long as I agree with them to open a branch and draw a commission, the extra tax will be easily flattened. If the county magistrate can give me more discounts, I can also consider giving him a commission. Who asked us to sell the pancakes of Wu Dalang - the pancakes eaten by the tiger heroes.
It tastes really good. Dalang rubbed his nose with his fingers.
May have asked me to get close to Wu Er. Wu Er killed the tiger alone. He was very brave, which is already known to everyone. The county magistrate usually marched violently and hugged a lot of dry goods, which is also known to everyone. Recently, the world is not peaceful and strong people are rampant. I heard that even the birthday program has been robbed. The county magistrate has a lot of money in his hand. How can he do it without a good bodyguard and thre? Invite me to dinner, deepen my friendship with Wu Er on the side, let Wu Er repay his kindness, and give up to the county magistrate, so that the county magistrate can let Wu Er make some dangerous living. Well, it seems that I am really important.
What does this taste like? Why is it so fragrant? The fragrance rushed straight to the top of the head, as if something was wrong. Wu Da looked around and didn't find anything in the sedan chair, so he stood up to look for it. When he stood up, he felt that his head was heavy and he couldn't help falling down. At this time, the sedan chair shook up and down, and Wu Da fell into the sedan chair with a ouch.
