Chapter 20 seventeen

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Taipei City was as hot as a desperate big mangy dog ​​with a long tongue hanging out, panting desperately.The sun blazed down, scorching people's scalps to the point of pain.I went to the Jiangshan Tower of the Circle to look for the mouse.He made an appointment with me at Sheng Gong's party to go to Xinnanyang to see the hanging man tree.The mouse wants to treat me as a guest, because he made a vote a few days ago, and he is quite proud.The mouse lives with his brother Wu Ya, in the attic behind Tuberose, which is the house of Chen Zhumei, the old bustard of Tuberose.Tuberose and the prostitutes were all taking a nap, in the dark black holes, some of them didn't even put down the curtains, and they could vaguely see piles of yellow, yellow and white flesh lying on the bed inside.The weather was hot, and those prostitutes took off their coats, and only wore bras and briefs, exuding a thick smell of powder and human flesh.I walked through the corridor into the backyard, and whistled a few times in the attic. Two short whistles and one long whistle were the secret signals between the four of us, Mouse, Xiaoyu, and Wu Min.A window in the attic opened suddenly, and a small head poked out.The mouse narrowed its eyes and bared its teeth in a grin.He sneakily looked back and gestured to me, asking me to go up.I climbed a very long and narrow dark and steep stone steps, and the door of the attic above was closed.With a bang, the door opened a crack, and someone inside shouted sharply:

who?It was the sound of a crow. Don't worry, it's Ah Qing.The mouse responded, licking its tongue at me.He was shirtless, only wearing a pair of yellow and white coarse underwear, the trouser belt was extremely long, tied with a bow, and one end was hung on his knees, swinging back and forth. It turned out that they were playing Pai Gow inside, and a table was densely surrounded by people, eight or nine men and women.The doors and windows were tightly closed, the bamboo curtains were lowered, the lights were turned on, and two tall electric fans were whistling back and forth against each other.The gamblers are all smoking, and the whole room is full of smog.Chen Zhumei was pushing the dealer, shuffling a set of dominoes vigorously.She is a fat and big turtle woman, wearing only a hemp vest, a pair of fat breasts, hanging on the table in a wave, two thick black arms, fleshy, like a pair of hooves Generally speaking, a twisted bun is combed on the head, and a pair of yellow and thick golden hair is fastened on it. On the left side temple, there is a bunch of magnolia flowers, and the color of the flower has turned yellow.The crow sat on the Tianmen, with one leg curled up, and stepped on the bench. His upper body was thick and thick, revealing piles of undulating muscle masses. On the red-black back blade, there were beads of sweat Generally large.Crow's face was flushed from gambling, the veins on his forehead were piled up, his eyes were fierce, and his eyes were fierce.He stretched out one hand and kept scratching his feet.The crow was a six-foot-long burly man, the head of Tuberose's bodyguard.The mouse said that his elder brother Crow was born as an ironsmith in Sanchong Town. When he was drunk, he picked up a piece of red iron and hit the mouse's face to sear his mouth.At the card table, men and women were all in a rage; the men all took off their shirts, the women had their hair tied up and their collars turned up, and the table was piled with colorful banknotes.Next to Crow, wearing a pink dress with bean green trim is Crow's concubine Taohua.Taohua tied a shower handkerchief on her head, so that the tail of the hair behind her head was raised high, like a duck's butt.Chen Zhumei shuffled the cards, and everyone bet one after another.The crow pressed down on Tianmen, and the two thick stacks of banknotes were thrown down.Chen Zhumei had a flat face, her eyebrows were raised high, her thick black lips were bent into a bow, and her face was full of evil spirits.She rolled the dice and pushed out the cards of each house. When everyone turned over, she opened her mouth wide, her golden teeth gleaming, and the two dominoes in her hand slammed onto the table, breaking them. shouted:

Supreme Treasure, Three Dings and Old Monkeys, Take All! Almost in unison, the men and women on the table all cursed!Just when everyone was hating, regretting, throwing cards and spitting, Chen Zhumei was grinning like an old hen that had just laid eggs. She threw herself on the table and spread her thick black arms like hooves. , swept the banknotes on the table twice and then swept them in front of her.Crow turned around and complained to Tao Hua fiercely, both of them looked very ugly.The mouse winked at me hurriedly, and took me to the back kitchen.He told me that the crows gambled fiercely, sometimes winning or losing tens of thousands in one night.Gamblers, there are bustards and bodyguards from various prostitute households, and there are also some regular clients.Sometimes when I get red-eyed from gambling, I resort to martial arts.Once, a rogue client pinched a mark on a domino and was caught by a crow, who beat him so badly that his jaw was out of joint.

Let's sneak out after I serve them the mung bean soup, the mouse said to me.On the kitchen table, there was a large pot of mung bean soup, with an ice brick floating in the pot.The mouse stretched out a finger into the pot of mung bean soup and stirred it twice, then said with a smile: It's cold enough, let's drink two bowls of it first, it will be beneficial! The mouse scooped up two full bowls of mung bean soup and handed me a bowl. Drink quickly, drink quickly, Rotten Taozi will scream again when she sees it! The mice called peach blossoms rotten peaches.He said he went to take a peek at the peach blossom bath, he looked like a rotten peach.We gulped down the mung bean soup in one gulp, and the mouse's mouth was covered with green and fluffy soup. He stuck out his tongue and turned it up and down, until he licked it clean.He made a grimace at me and laughed, I kicked his ass and asked him:

You little thief, how many goods did you make at the Sheng Gong party last night, tell me the truth! Hush!The mouse hissed me, grinning with scorched teeth and said, don't make trouble, I'll take you to see, last night I caught a lot of treasures! The mouse took me to his room. It was a four-tatami luggage room next to the kitchen. It was full of old boxes and cages, and a small bamboo bed was squeezed in the middle. The room had no windows and was as hot as an oven. , with a musty smell.The mouse went in and turned on a small forty-candle lamp by the bed.He got under the bed and dragged out a black rusted iron box with a big brass lock on it. The mouse picked up the iron box with both hands, hugged it tightly to his chest, and smiled at me. road:

This is my treasure chest. He took out a key from the pillowcase, opened the box, and there was a variety of colors inside, all of which were stolen by mice.He turned everything inside out, spread out on the bed, like a child setting up house wine; two pairs of sunglasses, one pair of gold-rimmed ones with only one lens left.Five-tube fountain pens, Parker fifty-one, Parker twenty-three, and Sheaffer one.Two watches, one Titus and one Baoluhua.There are seven lighters of various brands.Six large and small nail clippers, four sets of cuff buttons, two tie clips, two key chains, one gold and one silver, all rusted.I also returned a few combs with missing teeth, horn boots, and all kinds of bottles, ashtrays and dishes, a lot of broken copper and iron for unknown purposes.The mouse sat cross-legged on the bed, surrounded by his stolen goods. He was beaming and pointed to tell me the origin of his treasures one by one.The pair of crystal glass heart-shaped cigarette saucers were originally placed in the reception room of the Angel Hotel.The Sheaffer silver case was originally a sample on the counter of Chengyuan Stationery Company on Hengyang Street.Two key chains, one was found in the Rixin Grand Theater, and the other belonged to a scout teacher. There was originally a brass whistle hanging on it, but the mouse took it away while he was fast asleep.As for those horn boots, they were all gifts from the raw leather shoe company.

Pawn the pen, I picked up the Parker Fifty-One with the golden sleeve and sapphire blue barrel and said, let’s go eat Wu Chaoshou for some money. screw you!The mouse snatched the Parker pen with a split hand, and held it in his hand desperately, I couldn't bear it!This pen is my favorite baby! The mouse rubbed the gold sleeve of the Parker pen on the underwear several times, and wiped away the sweat. Ah Qing, have you ever eaten Cantonese dim sum?The mouse held the gold-coated Parker while looking at it and asked me. Why haven't you eaten?I have been to Malayan and Fenglin Xiaoguan.

I didn't know what killing and riding a horse was before.The mouse suddenly sighed. That's because you're a bumpkin. How can I compare with you?The mouse squinted at me, feeling sorry for itself.You, Xiaoyu, and Xiaowu are all big names, and those big men invite you to restaurants.I have never been to any big restaurant except Fatty Lu’s Cornucopia. I went to Ruby last month to eat Cantonese dim sum.It was Mr. Huang who took me there. Mr. Huang is a very interesting person!He ordered a table of shrimp dumplings, siu mai, and char siew buns, and after eating, he bought a box of killing horse riding for me to bring back for breakfast.He works as a manager of a tourist hotel in Kaohsiung, and he even goes to Kaohsiung to play.This tribe of pike fifty-one is his.

You ungrateful little thief, I scolded with a smile, people treat you well, but you still want to steal from them. Don't talk nonsense!The mouse shook his hand desperately and protested, how can I be ungrateful?I really like his pen in my heart, and I use it for fun and as a souvenir.Anyway, they are rich, so why do they care? Well, then how many treasures did you catch last night, quickly shake them out, and share the spoils with everyone. Good brother, you won the jackpot last night!The mouse picked up the Baoluhua and said with a grin, "I don't know which uncle left this watch in the bathroom, so it's easy to get!"Look, fully automatic, and a calendar!

The mouse shook the Baoluohua and moved closer to my ear. What about cigarettes? What cigarettes?The mouse blinked his little eyes. Damn, you still pretend to be garlic!I gave him a push. Last night I clearly saw you stuffing packets of longevity stuffed into the back of your ass.Hurry up and take it out to entertain brother, don't you have to wait for me to search for the stolen goods? The mouse grinned and took out a bag of squished longevity from under the straw mat, and I quickly snatched it away.He reached out and groped under the mat for a long time, and pulled out two packets of tinfoil packets printed in English.

I don't know what these two bags are, I found them out of a guy's back pocket last night.It's probably coffee essence, let's make it up and drink it. The mouse tore open a corner, but something bounced out of it. It was a beige rubber sleeve, like a baby's rubber teat.Both of us were stunned for a moment, and laughed at the same time.I punched the mouse on the head, bent down laughing so much, and cursed: You dirty thief, steal this kind of thing, don't be afraid of bad luck! The mouse also opened the other bag, put one on one thumb, and shook it back and forth, as if playing a puppet show. Don't laugh, the mouse said, this thing is worth a few dollars.I'll sell it to those whores downstairs.Tell them: American products must be insured! mouse!Taohua's shrill voice outside called out and brought out the mung bean soup. The mouse hurriedly jumped out of the bed, hurriedly put the stolen goods on the bed back into his treasure box, locked the box, hid it under the bed, and then hurried out.He used a tea tray to hold six full bowls of mung bean soup, and dutifully brought them to the card table.The gamblers have just finished pushing a banker and are reviewing their gains and losses.The procuress, Chen Zhumei, was smiling and licking her thumbs to count the banknotes. The banknotes in front of her were piled up to her chin.A middle-aged fat woman with four gold rings on her hands and a pair of red gold bracelets clapped her hands sonorously and clapped her hands several times, shouting: What kind of luck is Abasang going today?Even eating three villages will make my mother's pussy dry! Chen Zhumei didn't answer, and kept her black and thick lips, counting the banknotes one by one.The other man, with a purple face, grabbed the pair of dice angrily, rubbed and rubbed, squeezed and squeezed, and then spit and spat: Dry!Fuck you mother!Fuck you grandpa! Peach Blossom leaned behind the crow, muttering, full of complaints: Tell you not to press the Heavenly Gate, but you won't listen!Even Vice Tianjiu has been eaten, can he still be suppressed?Aren't you a mouse licking a cat's nose looking for death? The crow kept silent, bent its back, scratched its feet with one hand, and picked up a domino with the other hand, clapping loudly on the table.The mouse walked over, handed bowls of mung bean soup to the guests, walked up to the crow, he salivated, and said hesitantly: Brother, I went to the movies with Ah Qing. The crow turned back sharply, raised its hand, puffed up a pair of fiery eyes and shouted: Do you want to go to the movies?I want you to see Hades! The mouse was not on guard, and staggered. The bowl of mung bean soup in his hand dripped down the crow's back, and Peach Blossom's skirt was also splashed all over.The crow jumped up and slapped the mouse on the face with its backhand. The mouse turned its head and fell to the ground on its back.The crow caught up and kicked a few times hard, causing the mouse to squeal and roll into a ball on the ground holding its stomach.The crow still wanted to raise its pedals, but Taohua caught up and held on desperately, shouting: Kill him!You killed him! The rest of the gamblers also came up to persuade the crow for a while, before the crow resented, cursed, and ran in with soup all over his back.Peach Blossom pulled the mouse up from the ground, the mouse bent over, tilted its head, and looked at Peach Blossom, two streams of blood flowed from both sides of his mouth, as if he had added two red beards, his thin yellow face was twisted into a ball , like crying, like laughing.Taohua picked up the mouse's ear, knocked a chestnut on his forehead, and cursed: Shiro, don't you have eyes! free!Chen Zhumei came over, touched the mouse's head, stuffed two ten-yuan bills for him, and said with a smile, "Grandma treats you to red!" The mouse crouched up, holding the two banknotes in his hands, staggered, flicked his trouser belt, and scrambled into the kitchen.He turned on the faucet, rinsed his head and face for a while, blew a few times, and spit several bubbles of bloody saliva into the sink.He raised his head, his small eyes blinked, his face was covered with blood and water, just like a clown covered in rouge in an opera.On his washboard ribs were two or three bruises the size of teacup rims. Yi Niang!After a long while, the mouse spat bloody saliva again.He raised his thin left arm, lowered his head, looked at it for a long time, and said to himself: It's pus. Of the few black and purple swollen blisters on his arms, two of them were particularly large, and white pus had already emerged from them. You go to the theater by yourself, the mouse put it on the case, picked up the two ten-yuan bills Chen Zhumei gave him just now, and handed it to me, I will not go. I'm not going either, I said, I'm going to find Xiaoyu. Downstairs, the tuberose prostitutes have woken up, put on makeup one by one, and are ready to go on the market.
